CEO's Remarks:

"Flowers' strong second quarter performance reflects the power of our leading brands and our sustained investment in sales growth and network optimization," said Ryals McMullian, Flowers Foods' president and CEO. "We are delivering results well ahead of pre-pandemic levels as we continue to grow our market share, and I thank our team for their perseverance in navigating the uncertainty caused by the pandemic.

"By executing on our four strategic pillars – developing our team, focusing on brands, prioritizing margins, and smart M&A – we are continuing to develop the structure and capabilities necessary to achieve our goals," he continued. "I have never been more optimistic about Flowers' potential. We have taken important steps forward and remain committed to achieving our financial targets and creating shareholder value in the current year and beyond."

For the 52-week Fiscal 2021, the Company Expects:

• Sales in the range of approximately $4.256 billion to $4.300 billion, representing a decrease of approximately 2.0% to 3.0% compared to the prior year period. The new guidance represents an increase over prior guidance of approximately $4.234 billion to $4.300 billion. This change includes a 1.8% reduction in sales due to one fewer week in fiscal 2021.
• Diluted EPS in the range of approximately $1.17 to $1.22, an increase over prior guidance of $1.10 to $1.17. The effect of one fewer week in fiscal 2021 impacts EPS by approximately $0.02.

The company's outlook is based on the following assumptions:

• Depreciation and amortization in the range of $135 million to $140 million
• Net interest expense of approximately $8 million
• An effective tax rate of approximately 24.5%
• Weighted average diluted share count for the year of approximately 213 million shares
• Capital expenditures for the year in the range of $125 million to $135 million

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Highlights

Compared to the prior year second quarter where applicable

• Sales decreased 0.8% to $1.017 billion compared to record results in the prior year period driven by the pandemic.
• Percentage point change in sales attributed to:
• Pricing/mix: 3.1%
• Volume: -3.9%
• Branded retail sales decreased $14.1 million or 2.0% to $674.7 million, store branded retail sales decreased $13.6 million or 9.4% to $131.0 million, while non-retail and other sales increased $19.1 million or 9.9% to $211.5 million.
• Branded retail sales decreased primarily due to difficult prior year comparisons, partially offset by favorable price/mix.
• Store branded retail sales decreased primarily due to volume declines as consumer purchasing shifted to branded retail products.
• Non-retail and other sales increased compared to weak sales in the prior year period due to the pandemic.
• Net income decreased $1.6 million to $56.4 million due primarily to lower operating income, partly offset by a lower tax rate and lower interest expense. Adjusted net income decreased 1.7% to $68.8 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5.0% to $122.1 million, representing 12.0% of sales, a 50-basis point decrease.
• Materials, supplies, labor and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were 49.5% of sales, a 20-basis point increase. These costs increased as a percentage of sales due to moderating sales and increased returns of unsold products, partially offset by $1.5 million of start-up costs in the year-ago period related to the conversion of our Lynchburg, Virginia facility to an organic bakery. Rising commodity costs were partially offset by positive price/mix and improved promotional efficiency.
• Selling, distribution and administrative (SD&A) expenses were 40.1% of sales, a 140-basis point increase, impacted by higher business process improvement consulting costs. Excluding matters affecting comparability, adjusted SD&A expenses were 38.4% of sales, a 30-basis point increase from the prior year period. Higher logistics costs and an increased investment in marketing were partly offset by lower distributor distribution fees, due to the mix shift, and higher scrap income.
• Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses were $31.6 million, or 3.1% of sales, a 10-basis point decrease.

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation, and Capital Return

Year-to-date, through the second quarter of fiscal 2021, cash flow from operating activities decreased by $52.4 million to $223.4 million, capital expenditures increased $11.7 million to $58.3 million, and dividends paid increased $4.4 million to $87.0 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $292.3 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

There are 6.1 million shares that remain authorized for repurchase under the company's current share repurchase plan. The company expects to continue to make opportunistic share repurchases from time to time under this plan.

The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the company (such as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the company.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, from time to time, the company may present in its public statements, press releases and SEC filings, non-GAAP financial measures such as, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted selling, distribution and administrative expenses (SD&A), gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization, free cash flow, and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA. The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The company's definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Earnings are net income. The company defines free cash flow as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. The company believes that free cash flow provides investors a better understanding of the company's liquidity position. The company believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for managing the operations of its business and is an indicator of the company's ability to incur and service indebtedness and generate free cash flow. EBITDA is used as the primary performance measure in the company's 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of our credit facility, EBITDA is used to determine the company's compliance with certain financial covenants. The company also believes that EBITDA measures are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as measures of a company's operating performance and debt servicing ability because EBITDA measures assist in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation or amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods and non-operating factors (such as historical cost). EBITDA is also a widely-accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service indebtedness.

EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to (a) income from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance; (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the company's ability to meet its cash needs; or (c) any other indicator of performance or liquidity that has been determined in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted income tax expense and adjusted SD&A, respectively, excluding the impact of asset impairment charges, Project Centennial consulting costs, business process improvement costs, lease terminations and legal settlements, acquisition-related costs, and pension plan settlements. Adjusted income tax expense also excludes the impact of tax reform. The company believes that these measures, when considered together with its GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of its business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of certain charges.

The company defines net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt to EBITDA is used as a measure of financial leverage employed by the company. Gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization is used as a performance measure to provide additional transparent information regarding our results of operations on a consolidated and segment basis. Changes in depreciation and amortization are separately discussed and include depreciation and amortization for materials, supplies, labor and other production costs and operating activities.

Presentation of gross margin includes depreciation and amortization in the materials, supplies, labor and other production costs according to GAAP. Our method of presenting gross margin excludes the depreciation and amortization components, as discussed above.

The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
