The Chefs’ Warehouse Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Ridgefield, CT, May 3, 2023 - The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHEF) (the “Company” or “Chefs’”), a premier distributor of specialty food products in the United States, Middle East, and Canada, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2023:
•Net sales increased 40.5% to $719.6 million for the first quarter of 2023 from $512.1 million for the first quarter of 2022.
•GAAP net income was $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022.
•Adjusted net income per share1 was $0.12 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $0.10 for the first quarter of 2022.
•Adjusted EBITDA1 was $32.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $21.5 million for the first quarter of 2022.
“Customer demand was strong during the first quarter, despite several significant weather events, especially in our west coast markets”, said Christopher Pappas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Revenue trends improved gradually from January into February and March, as dining away from home in the upscale casual to higher-end customer segments continued to grow, both in terms of new customer openings and placements per customer. In addition to our organic growth, we completed several acquisitions in important growth markets including Texas and California. We continue to enhance our strategy of expanding market share in the regions we serve, increasing categories to grow relevance with our customers, and driving synergies via facility investments, consolidation and operational technology improvements.”
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
Net sales for the first fiscal quarter of 2023 which ended March 31, 2023 increased 40.5% to $719.6 million from $512.1 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2022 which ended March 25, 2022. Organic sales increased $87.9 million, or 17.1% versus the prior year quarter. Sales growth of $119.7 million, or 23.4%, resulted from acquisitions. Organic case count increased approximately 16.8% in the Company’s specialty category with unique customers and placements increases at 21.2% and 18.7%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter. Organic pounds sold in the Company’s center-of-the-plate category increased approximately 14.4% compared to the prior year quarter. Estimated inflation was 5.5% in the Company’s specialty categories and 3.2% in the center-of-the-plate categories compared to the prior year quarter.
Gross profit increased approximately 44.4% to $169.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 from $117.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. Gross profit margin increased approximately 64 basis points to 23.6% from 22.9%. Gross margin in the Company’s specialty category increased 65 basis points and gross margin decreased 68 basis points in the Company’s center-of-the-plate category compared to the prior year quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately 41.8% to $156.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 from $110.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher costs associated with compensation and benefits, facility costs and distribution costs to support sales growth in the current quarter. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 21.7% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 21.5% in the first quarter of 2022.
1EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are non-GAAP measures. Please see the schedules accompanying this earnings release for a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income (loss) to these measures’ most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Other operating expense increased by approximately $0.5 million primarily due to higher third-party deal costs incurred in connection with business acquisitions.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2023 was $11.9 million compared to $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in operating income was driven primarily by higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and other operating expenses, as discussed above. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 1.7% in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to operating income of 1.2% in the first quarter of 2022.
Total interest expense increased to $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher principal amounts of outstanding debt due to our 2028 convertible notes issued on December 13, 2022, our term loan refinancing on August 23, 2022, an increase in amounts drawn on our ABL facility and higher rates of interest charged on the variable rate portion of our outstanding debt.
Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $32.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $21.5 million for the first quarter of 2022. For the first quarter of 2023, adjusted net income1 was $4.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of $3.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2022.

food products or center-of-the-plate products and/or interrupt our distribution network; our distribution of center-of-the-plate products, like meat, poultry and seafood, involves 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 the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”); 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 28, 2023 and other reports filed by the Company with the SEC since that date.

1.We are presenting estimated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not measurements determined in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, because we believe these measures provide additional metrics to evaluate our currently estimated results and which we believe, when considered with both our estimated GAAP results and the reconciliation to our estimated net income, provide a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. 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 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.

3.Represents rent and occupancy costs expected to be incurred in connection with our facility consolidations while we are unable to use those facilities.
4.Represents non-cash changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out liabilities related to our acquisitions, non-cash charges related to asset disposals and certain third-party deal costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions or financing arrangements.
