The Chefs’ Warehouse Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Ridgefield, CT, July 28, 2021 - The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHEF) (the “Company” or “Chefs’”), a premier distributor of specialty food products in the United States and Canada, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 25, 2021.
Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2021:
•Net sales increased 111.0% to $423.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 from $200.5 million for the second quarter of 2020.
•GAAP net income was $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to net loss of $20.3 million, or $(0.62) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020.
•Adjusted EPS1 was $0.04 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $(0.57) for the second quarter of 2020.
•Adjusted EBITDA1 was $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to negative adjusted EBITDA $(13.7) million for the second quarter of 2020.
“Business activity and revenue grew steadily throughout the second quarter as existing and new customer openings increased and COVID-related restrictions eased across many key markets.” said Chris Pappas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “As the quarter progressed, our customers benefited from in-door and out-door capacity growth, strengthening consumer demand and the initial stages of menu expansion. Sales toward the end of June 2021 were trending in line with 2019 sales, inclusive of acquisitions completed in 2020 and 2021.”
Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results
Net sales for the quarter ended June 25, 2021 increased 111.0% to $423.0 million from $200.5 million for the quarter ended June 26, 2020. Organic sales increased $212.6 million, or 106.1% versus the prior year quarter. Sales growth of $9.9 million, or 4.9%, resulted from acquisitions. Organic case count increased approximately 122.9% in the Company’s specialty category with unique customers and placements increases at 94.6% and 127.5%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter. Organic pounds sold in the Company’s center-of-the-plate category increased approximately 66.5% compared to the prior year quarter. Estimated inflation was 10.6% in the Company’s specialty categories and estimated inflation was 12.1% in the center-of-the-plate categories compared to the prior year quarter.
Gross profit increased approximately 120.8% to $95.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 from $43.4 million for the second quarter of 2020. Gross profit margin increased approximately 101 basis points to 22.7% from 21.7%. Gross margins in the Company’s specialty category increased 629 basis points and gross margins decreased 421 basis points in the Company’s center-of-the-plate category compared to the prior year quarter. Prior period results include a charge of approximately $5.5 million related to estimated inventory losses from obsolescence at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately 32.6% to $90.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 from $68.2 million for the second quarter of 2020. These increases were primarily volume-based increases to support our sales growth for the quarter ended June 25, 2021. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 21.4% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 34.0% in the second quarter of 2020.
Other operating expense increased by approximately $0.2 million primarily due to a $0.6 million impairment of Cambridge trademarks as a result of a shift in brand strategy to leverage our Allen Brothers

brand in our New England region in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, partially offset by non-cash credits of $0.1 million for changes in the fair value of our contingent earn-out liabilities compared to non-cash charges of $0.2 million in the prior year period.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2021 was $4.7 million compared to operating loss of $25.4 million for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative, as discussed above. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 1.1% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to operating loss of 12.6% in the second quarter of 2020.
Total interest expense decreased to $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in interest expense is the result of $1.2 million one-time third-party costs incurred during the second quarter of 2020 in connection with the extension of a majority of our senior secured term loans.
Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $20.3 million, or $(0.62) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to negative adjusted EBITDA of $(13.7) million for the second quarter of 2020. For the second quarter of 2021, adjusted net income1 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share compared to adjusted net loss of $18.7 million, or $(0.57) per diluted share for the second quarter of 2020.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release regarding the Company’s business that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations and management estimates; actual results may differ materially. The risks and uncertainties which could impact these statements include, but are not limited to the following: our sensitivity to general economic conditions, including disposable income levels and changes in consumer discretionary spending; our ability to expand our operations in our existing markets and to penetrate new markets through acquisitions; we may not achieve the benefits expected from our acquisitions, which could adversely impact our business and operating results; we may have difficulty managing and facilitating our future growth; conditions beyond our control could materially affect the cost and/or availability of our specialty food products or center-of-the-plate products and/or interrupt our distribution network; our increased distribution of center-of-the-plate products, like meat, poultry and seafood, involves increased exposure

to price volatility experienced by those products; our business is a low-margin business and our profit margins may be sensitive to inflationary and deflationary pressures; because our foodservice distribution
operations are concentrated in certain culinary markets, we are susceptible to economic and other developments, including adverse weather conditions, in these areas; fuel cost volatility may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations; our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited; we may be unable to obtain debt or other financing, including financing necessary to execute on our acquisition strategy, on favorable terms or at all; interest charged on our outstanding debt may be adversely affected by changes in the method of determining London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative rate; our business operations and future development could be significantly disrupted if we lose key members of our management team; and significant public health epidemics or pandemics, including COVID-19, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made. A more detailed description of these and other risk factors is contained in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021 and other reports filed by the Company with the SEC since that date. The Company is not undertaking to update any information until required by applicable laws. Any projections of future results of operations are based on a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the Company’s control and should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results will in fact occur. These projections are subject to change and could differ materially from final reported results. The Company may from time to time update these publicly announced projections, but it is not obligated to do so.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue and cash flows from operations, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance our understanding of our core operating performance. The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based upon GAAP results while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies.

1.We are presenting adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share (EPS), which are not measurements determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, because we believe these measures provide additional metrics to evaluate our operations and which we believe, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income available to common stockholders, provide a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We use adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted EPS, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue and cash flows from operations, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance our understanding of our core operating performance. The use of adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted EPS as performance measures permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based upon our GAAP results while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies.
2.Represents non-cash changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out liabilities related to our acquisitions, non-cash charges related to asset disposals, asset impairments, including intangible asset impairments, and certain third-party deal costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions or financing arrangements.
3.Represents duplicate rent and occupancy costs for our Los Angeles, CA facility.
4.Represents moving expenses for the consolidation of certain facilities in New England.
5.Represents interest expense related to investment banking fees paid in connection with the modification of our senior secured term loan.
6.Represents a payroll tax credit earned in accordance with the Employee Retention Credit under the CARES Act.
7.Represents the tax effect of items 2 through 6 above.
