Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation
Conyers Park Acquisition Corp (“Conyers Park”) was formed on April 20, 2016, as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
The Simply Good Foods Company (“Simply Good Foods”) was formed by Conyers Park on March 30, 2017. On April 10, 2017, Conyers Park and NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc. (“Atkins”) entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which on
July 7, 2017
, Conyers Park merged into Simply Good Foods, which also acquired Atkins pursuant to the Merger Agreement. As a result, both entities became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Simply Good Foods (the "Business Combination"). The Business Combination resulted in Conyers Park controlling the Board of Directors of the combined entity. The common stock of Simply Good Foods is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SMPL.”
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Simply Good Foods and its subsidiaries.
The Company maintains its accounting records on a 52/53-week fiscal year.
Description of Business
Simply Good Foods operates in the healthy snacking category. The Atkins
®
brand focuses on an approach to eating that advocates reduced levels of refined carbohydrates and refined sugars, and encourages the consumption of lean protein, fiber, fruits, vegetables, and good fats. The Company sells a variety of nutrition bars, Ready to Drink (“RTD”) shakes, snacks and confectionery products designed around the nutrition principles of the Atkins eating approach. In addition to snacking products, we have granted a license for frozen meals sold in the United States.
Seasonality
The Company has experienced in the past, and expects to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in sales as a result of consumer spending patterns. Historically, sales have been greatest in the second fiscal quarter as the Company sells product to retail locations, which sell to consumers in the post-holiday resolution season. The Company has also seen some seasonality in the summer and back-to-school shopping seasons each year. The period of the lowest sales has historically been in the fourth fiscal quarter. The Company believes these consumer spending patterns are driven primarily by the predisposition of consumers to adjust their approach to nutrition at certain times of the year as well as the timing of the Company’s advertising linked with key customer promotion windows.
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company and its subsidiaries are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the indicated periods. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The results reported in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended
August 25, 2018
, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
(“Annual Report”), filed on October 24, 2018. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Refer to Note 2,
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
, to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for a description of significant accounting policies.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(ASC Topic 606). The objective of ASU No. 2014-09 is to outline a new, single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis for determining when and how revenue is recognized, depicting the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the requirements of ASC Topic 606 and all related requirements using the modified retrospective method in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Upon completing our assessment of ASC Topic 606, we concluded that no adjustments were required to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption and the comparative information has not been restated. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Disclosures required by ASC Topic 606 are presented within Note 3, Revenue Recognition.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,
Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10).
This new standard enhances the reporting model for financial instruments regarding certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure. This ASU is to be applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842).
The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11
,
Leases (Topic 842):
Targeted Improvements
. ASU 2018-11 provides entities another option for transition, allowing entities to not apply the new standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. The amendments provide the option for the ASU to be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, however, a material increase in lease-related assets and liabilities is expected.
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
The new guidance is intended to eliminate diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,
Intangibles—Goodwill and other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
. The standard simplifies how an entity tests goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The amended standard also modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its goodwill impairment testing.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805)
, to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The provisions of this ASU provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business by clarifying the requirements related to inputs, processes, and outputs. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.
The amended standard specifies the modification accounting applicable to any entity which changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The singular performance obligation of our customer contracts is determined by each individual purchase order and the products ordered, with revenue being recognized at a point-in-time when the obligation under the terms of the agreement is satisfied and product control is transferred to the customer. Specifically, control transfers to our customers when the product is delivered to or picked up by our customers based on applicable shipping terms. The performance obligations of our customer contracts are generally satisfied within 30 days.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for fulfilled product orders including estimates of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include trade programs, consumer incentives, coupon redemptions, allowances for unsaleable products, and any additional amounts where a distinct good or service cannot be identified or the value cannot be reasonably estimated. Estimates of variable consideration are made using various information including historical data on performance of similar trade promotional activities, as well as the Company's best estimate of current activity. We review these estimates regularly and make revisions as necessary. Revisions can include changes for consideration paid to customers that lack sufficient evidence to support a distinct good or service assertion, or for which a reasonably estimable fair value cannot be determined, primarily related to our assessments of cooperative advertising programs. Uncertainties related to the estimate of variable consideration are resolved in a short time frame and do not require any additional constraint on variable consideration. Adjustments to variable consideration are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified and have historically been insignificant. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
We provide standard assurance type warranties that our products will comply with all agreed-upon specifications. No services beyond an assurance type warranty are provided to our customers. While customers generally have a right to return defective or non-conforming products, past experience has demonstrated that product returns have been immaterial. Customer remedies for defective or non-conforming products may include a refund or exchange. As a result, the right of return is estimated and recorded as a reduction in revenue, if necessary.
Our customer contracts identify product quantity, price and payment terms. Payment terms are granted consistent with industry standards. Although some payment terms may be more extended, the majority of our payment terms are less than 60 days. As a result, we do not adjust our revenues for the effects of a significant financing component. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company utilizes third-party contract manufacturers for the manufacture of our products. We have evaluated whether the Company is the principal or agent in these relationships. We have determined that the Company is the principal in all cases, as it maintains the responsibility for fulfillment, risk of loss and establishes the price.
We recognize a minor amount of royalty income for the license of Atkins' frozen meals. Royalty income represents less than 1% of the Company's net sales. Royalty revenue is recognized over time as sales of licensed products occur.
The Company has elected the following practical expedients in accordance with ASC Topic 606:
|
•
|
Shipping and handling costs
—We have elected to account for shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver products to customers as fulfillment activities, rather than a promised service. As such, fulfillment costs are included in
Distribution
in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
|
|
•
|
Costs of obtaining a contract
—We have elected expense costs of obtaining a contract because the amortization period would be less than one year.
|
Revenues from transactions with external customers for each of Atkins’ products would be impracticable to disclose and management does not view its business by product line. The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by geographic area.

Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit
On July 7, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a term facility of
$200.0 million
(“Term Facility”) with a
seven
year maturity and (ii) a revolving credit facility of up to
$75.0 million
(the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a
five
year maturity. Substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination, the full
$200.0 million
of the Term Facility (the “Term Loan”) was drawn. The interest rate per annum is based on either (i) a base rate equaling the higher of (a) the “prime rate”, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus
0.50%
and (c) the Euro-currency rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus
1.00%
plus (x)
3.00%
margin for the Term Loan or (y)
2.00%
margin for the Revolving Credit Facility, or (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus (x)
4.00%
margin for the Term Loan subject to a floor of
1.00%
or (y)
3.00%
margin for the Revolving Credit Facility. As security for the payment or performance of its debt, the Company has pledged certain equity interests in its subsidiaries.
10
On March 16, 2018 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company entered into an amendment (the “Repricing Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. As a result of the Repricing Amendment, the interest rate on the Term Loan was reduced and, as of the Amendment Date, such loans bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin of
3.50%
or a base rate plus an applicable margin of
2.50%
. The Repricing Amendment did not change the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility will continue to bear interest based upon the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio as of the last financial statements delivered to the administrative agent. No additional debt was incurred, or any proceeds received, by the Company in connection with the Repricing Amendment. The incremental fees paid to the administrative agent are reflected as additional debt discount and are amortized over the terms of the long-term financing agreements using the effective-interest method.
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur and/or undertake asset sales and other dispositions, liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions and investments, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations and other fundamental changes, payment of dividends and other distributions to equity and warrant holders, and prepayments of material subordinated debt, in each case, subject to customary exceptions materially consistent with credit facilities of such type and size. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum total net leverage ratio equal to or less than
6.25
:1.00 (with a reduction to
6.00
:1.00 on and after the third anniversary of the closing date of the Credit Agreement) contingent on credit extensions in excess of
30%
of the total amount of commitments available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the Credit Agreement may result in an event of default. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of
February 23, 2019
and
August 25, 2018
.
At
February 23, 2019
and
August 25, 2018
, there were
no
amounts drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility. Long-term debt consists of the following:

The Company will be required to make principal payments of
$2.0 million
over the next twelve months.
The Company utilizes market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. The Company carries debt at historical cost and discloses fair value. As of
February 23, 2019
and
August 25, 2018
, the book value of the Company’s debt approximated fair value. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan is based on observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
The following table sets forth the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value.
Fair value at
August 25, 2018
is summarized as follows:

A gain of
$3.7 million
was charged to the
Loss (gain) in fair value change of contingent consideration - TRA liability
for the
thirteen weeks ended
February 24, 2018
primarily due to the impacts of the change in tax law. A loss of
$0.5 million
and a gain of
$3.0 million
were charged to the
Loss (gain) in fair value change of contingent consideration - TRA liability
for the
twenty-six weeks ended
February 23, 2019
and
February 24, 2018
, respectively. The Company settled the Income Tax Receivable Agreement (the "TRA") during the
twenty-six weeks ended
February 23, 2019
, which resulted in a
$1.5 million
gain. Following the settlement of the TRA liability, the Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities. The settlement of the TRA liability is discussed in Note
7
.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of
February 23, 2019
and
August 25, 2018
due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law. The change in the tax law was partially effective in the 2018 fiscal year and is fully effective in the 2019 fiscal year. The Tax Act, among other things, reduces the top U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.
Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the Tax Act, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 requires that the Company include in its financial statements the reasonable estimate of the impact of the Tax Act on earnings to the extent such reasonable estimate has been determined. The Company is allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. As of August 25, 2018, we had not completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Act; however, we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax and recorded provisional amounts. For the items for which we were able to determine a reasonable estimate, we recognized a provisional gain of
$31.0 million
in fiscal year 2018.
The FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Act. The guidance indicates that either treating taxes on GILTI inclusions as current period costs, or accounting for deferred taxes on GILTI inclusions are both acceptable subject to an accounting policy election. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost in the year incurred.
Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax
: The one-time transition tax is based on our total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) that we previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. We recorded provisional amounts in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 for our one-time transition tax liability of our foreign subsidiaries, resulting in an immaterial increase in income tax expense. On the basis of revised E&P and cash balance computations that were completed during the reporting period we adjusted our Transition Tax estimate and recorded an immaterial increase in income tax expense in the second quarter.
Reduction of U.S. federal income tax rate
: The Tax Act reduced the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. We were able to reasonably estimate the effect of the reduction in the tax rate on our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities and in fiscal 2018, we recorded a net provisional reduction in our deferred income tax liabilities of
$31.0 million
with a corresponding net adjustment of
$31.0 million
of deferred income tax benefit at August 25, 2018. No changes have been made to these adjustments during 2019.
Our accounting for the impact of the Tax Act is now complete.

Tax Receivable Agreement
Concurrent with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA with the historical shareholders of Atkins in consideration for the Business Combination. The TRA was valued based on the future expected payments under the terms of the agreement. The TRA provided for the payment by Simply Good Foods to the Atkins’ selling equity holders for certain federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax benefits deemed realized in post-closing taxable periods by Simply Good Foods, Conyers Park, Atkins and Atkins’ eligible subsidiaries from the use of up to
$100.0 million
of the following tax attributes: (i) net operating losses available to be carried forward as of the closing of the Business Combination, (ii) certain deductions generated by the consummation of the business transaction, and (iii) remaining depreciable tax basis from the 2003 acquisition of Atkins Nutritionals, Inc.
During the thirteen weeks ended November 24, 2018, the Company entered into a termination agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with Atkins Holdings, LLC and Roark Capital Acquisition, LLC. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company paid
$26.5 million
to settle the TRA in full. Under the Termination Agreement, each of the parties thereto agreed to terminate the TRA and to release any and all obligations and liabilities of the other parties thereunder effective as of the receipt of the termination payment. The Company recorded a
$0.5 million
loss on the fair value change in the TRA liability through the settlement on November 14, 2018 and recognized a gain of
$1.5 million
in connection with the execution of the Termination Agreement and final cash payment.

Stockholders' Equity
Equity Warrants
Prior to the Business Combination, Conyers Park issued
13,416,667
public warrants and
6,700,000
private placement warrants. Simply Good Foods assumed the Conyers Park equity warrants in connection with the Business Combination. As a result of the Business Combination, the warrants issued by Conyers Park were no longer exercisable for shares of Conyers Park common stock, but were instead exercisable for common stock of Simply Good Foods. All other features of the warrants were unchanged.
From August 26, 2018 through October 5, 2018, public warrants to purchase an aggregate of
9,866,451
shares of the Company's common stock were exercised for cash at an exercise price of
$11.50
per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of
$113.5 million
.
13
On October 4, 2018, the Company delivered a notice for the redemption (the "Redemption Notice") of all of its public warrants that remained unexercised immediately after November 5, 2018. Holders who exercised public warrants following the Redemption Notice were required to do so on a cashless basis. Accordingly, holders were no longer permitted to exercise public warrants in exchange for payment in cash of
$11.50
per share. Instead, a holder exercising a public warrant was deemed to have paid the
$11.50
per share exercise price by the surrender of
0.61885
of a share of common stock that the holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of each public warrant. Exercising holders received
0.38115
of a share of the Company's common stock for each public warrant surrendered for exercise. Following the Redemption Notice,
3,499,639
public warrants were exercised on a cashless basis. An aggregate of
1,333,848
shares of the Company's common stock were issued in connection with these exercises of the public warrants. All remaining public warrants were redeemed as of November 5, 2018 for an immaterial amount.
The Company's private warrants to purchase
6,700,000
shares of the Company's common stock remain outstanding.
Stock Repurchase Program
On November 13, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had adopted a
$50.0 million
stock repurchase program. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Company, and does not have an expiration date.
During the
twenty-six weeks ended
February 23, 2019
, the Company repurchased
6,729
shares of common stock at an average share price of
$18.92
per share.

Related Party Transactions
Tax Receivable Agreement
During the

$26.5 million
to settle the TRA (the "Termination Payment"), which provided former stockholders of Atkins with payments for federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax benefits deemed realized by the Company.
Under the Termination Agreement, each of the parties thereto agreed to terminate the TRA and to release and discharge any and all obligations and liabilities of the other parties thereunder effective as of the exchange agent's receipt of the Termination Payment. Richard Laube, a former director of the Company, Joseph Scalzo, our president and Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and Scott Parker, our Chief Marketing Officer, were each former stockholders of Atkins and received their respective pro rata share of the Termination Payment as additional consideration for their former stock ownership in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The TRA liability and subsequent settlement are discussed in Note
7
.
Execution of the Merger Agreement
In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, per the terms of the Merger Agreement, Simply Good Foods paid a working capital adjustment of
$1.8 million
to the former owners of Atkins, which also resulted in a corresponding increase to the previously recognized goodwill.

Segment and Customer Information
The Company has organized its operations into
one
operating segment that sells its branded nutritional foods and snacking products designed around the nutrition principles of the Atkins eating approach. The results of the operating segment are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resource expenditures and assessing financial performance. This operating segment is therefore the Company’s only reportable segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements. When used anywhere in this Report, the words “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial or operational performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We disclaim any undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions subject to risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include those related to our ability to sell our products.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2018 ("Annual Report") and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements, such as statements regarding the Company’s expectation for future performance, liquidity and capital resources that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include those identified below and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report. The Company assumes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.
Unless the context requires otherwise in this Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and "Simply Good Foods" refer to The Simply Good Foods Company and its subsidiaries.
Overview
Simply Good Foods is a growing developer, marketer and seller of branded nutritional foods and snacking products. Its highly-focused product portfolio consists primarily of nutrition bars, ready-to-drink (“RTD”) shakes, snacks and confectionery products marketed under the Atkins®, SimplyProtein®, Atkins Harvest Trail and Atkins Endulge® brand names. Over the past 45 years, Atkins has become an iconic American brand that for many consumers stands for “low carb,” “low sugar” and “protein rich” nutrition. The Atkins approach focuses on a healthy nutritional approach with reduced levels of carbohydrates and sugars and encourages the consumption of lean protein, fiber, fruits, vegetables, and good fats.
In our core Atkins snacking business, we strive to offer a complete line of nutrition bars, RTD shakes and confections that satisfy hunger while providing consumers with a convenient, “better-for-you” snacking alternative. Our sales, marketing and R&D capabilities enable us to distribute products into a national customer base across the mass merchandiser, grocery and drug channels. We believe that Atkins’ broad brand recognition, depth of management talent and strong cash generation position us to continue to innovate in the Atkins brand and acquire other brands, and thereby become an industry leading snacking platform. To that end, in December 2016, Atkins completed the acquisition of Wellness Foods, Inc., a Canada-based developer, marketer and seller of the SimplyProtein® brand that is focused on protein-rich and low-sugar products, which our management believes has significant opportunity for expansion in the U.S. In addition to snacking products, Atkins entered into a license arrangement in 2014 for frozen meals sold in the U.S. by Bellisio Foods, Inc.
Seasonality
We have experienced in the past, and expect to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in sales as a result of consumer spending patterns. Historically, sales have been greatest in the second fiscal quarter as we sell product to retail locations, which sell to consumers in the post-holiday resolution season. We have also seen some seasonality in the summer and back-to-school shopping seasons each year. The period of the lowest sales has historically been in the fourth fiscal quarter. We believe these consumer spending patterns are driven primarily by the predisposition of consumers to adjust their approach to nutrition at certain times of the year as well as the timing of our advertising linked with key customer promotion windows.
Our Reportable Segment
Our business is organized around one reportable segment based on our go-to-market strategies, the objectives of the business and how our chief decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, monitors operating performance and allocates resources.

Results of Operations
Our strong
second
quarter and year-to date results reflect the successful execution of our annual plan as well as our strategic initiatives. We delivered double-digit sales, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA growth in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods. Our U.S. retail takeaway, as measured by IRI for the thirteen week period ended
February 23, 2019
, continued to be strong and was up 22.1% versus the prior year. We continued to expand Adjusted EBITDA margin while also making investments in marketing and organizational capabilities that we believe will benefit the company in the near and long term.
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a number of key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors, including the non-GAAP measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. See “Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income for each applicable period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA
.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income under GAAP. Simply Good Foods defines Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) as net income before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization with further adjustments to exclude the following items: stock-based compensation, restructuring costs, non-core legal costs, transactional exchange impact, change in fair value of contingent consideration - TRA liability, gain on settlement of TRA liability, business transaction costs and other non-core expenses
.
Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to monitor results of ongoing operations. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the financial condition and results of operations to date; and that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in calculation.
The following unaudited tables below provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income, for the thirteen weeks and
twenty-six weeks ended
February 23, 2019
and
February 24, 2018

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have historically funded our operations with cash flow from operations and, when needed, with borrowings under our credit facilities. Our principal uses for liquidity have been debt service and working capital.
We had
$218.9 million
in cash and cash equivalents as of
February 23, 2019
, which is sufficient to satisfy current liabilities, current maturities of long-term debt, and the interest payments associated with them. We believe our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur as a public company for at least the next twelve months.
23
Debt and Credit Facilities
On July 7, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a term facility of
$200.0 million
(“Term Facility”) with a
seven
year maturity and (ii) a revolving credit facility of up to
$75.0 million
(the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a
five
year maturity. Substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination, the full
$200.0 million
of the Term Facility (the “Term Loan”) was drawn. The interest rate per annum is based on either (i) a base rate equaling the higher of (a) the “prime rate”, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus
0.50%
and (c) the Euro-currency rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus
1.00%
plus (x)
3.00%
margin for the Term Loan or (y)
2.00%
margin for the Revolving Credit Facility, or (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus (x)
4.00%
margin for the Term Loan subject to a floor of
1.00%
or (y)
3.00%
margin for the Revolving Credit Facility. As security for the payment or performance of its debt, the Company has pledged certain equity interests in its subsidiaries.
On March 16, 2018 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company entered into an amendment (the “Repricing Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. As a result of the Repricing Amendment, the interest rate on the Term Loan was reduced and, as of the Amendment Date, such loans bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin of
3.50%
or a base rate plus an applicable margin of
2.50%
. The Repricing Amendment did not change the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility will continue to bear interest based upon the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio as of the last financial statements delivered to the administrative agent. No additional debt was incurred, or any proceeds received, by the Company in connection with the Repricing Amendment. The incremental fees paid to the administrative agent are reflected as additional debt discount and are amortized over the terms of the long-term financing agreements using the effective-interest method.
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur and/or undertake asset sales and other dispositions, liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions and investments, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations and other fundamental changes, payment of dividends and other distributions to equity and warrant holders, and prepayments of material subordinated debt, in each case, subject to customary exceptions materially consistent with credit facilities of such type and size. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum total net leverage ratio equal to or less than
6.25
:1.00 (with a reduction to
6.00
:1.00 on and after the third anniversary of the closing date of the Credit Agreement) contingent on credit extensions in excess of
30%
of the total amount of commitments available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the Credit Agreement may result in an event of default. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of
February 23, 2019
and
August 25, 2018
.
At
February 23, 2019
, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan was
$197.5 million
and there were
no
amounts drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility.
Equity Warrants
From August 26, 2018 through October 5, 2018, public warrants to purchase an aggregate of
9,866,451
shares of the Company's common stock were exercised for cash at an exercise price of
$11.50
per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of
$113.5 million
.
On October 4, 2018, the Company delivered a notice for the redemption (the "Redemption Notice") of all of its public warrants that remained unexercised immediately after November 5, 2018. Holders who exercised public warrants following the Redemption Notice were required to do so on a cashless basis. Accordingly, holders were no longer permitted to exercise public warrants in exchange for payment in cash of
$11.50
per share. Instead, a holder exercising a public warrant was deemed to have paid the
$11.50
per share exercise price by the surrender of
0.61885
of a share of common stock that the holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of each public warrant. Exercising holders received
0.38115
of a share of the Company's common stock for each public warrant surrendered for exercise. Following the Redemption Notice,
3,499,639
public warrants were exercised on a cashless basis. An aggregate of
1,333,848
shares of the Company's common stock were issued in connection with these exercises of the public warrants. All remaining public warrants were redeemed as of November 5, 2018 for an immaterial amount.
The Company's private warrants to purchase
6,700,000
shares of the Company's common stock remain outstanding.

, a
decrease
of

February 23, 2019
, which was a
decrease
of
$1.8 million

.
Contractual Obligations
Contractual obligations relating to our indebtedness, lease obligations and interest are reported Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report. There were no material changes to our contractual obligations since August 25, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
February 23, 2019
, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, income or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
New Accounting Pronouncements
For a description of critical accounting policies that affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, refer to our Annual Report. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 resulted in a change to our revenue recognition accounting policy, as discussed in Note 3 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report. There have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies since
August 25, 2018
. Refer to Note
2
of our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report for further information regarding recently issued accounting standards.
JOBS Act
Simply Good Foods qualifies as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012. Section 102 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. However, Simply Good Foods has elected to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, Simply Good Foods will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Simply Good Foods’ decision to opt out of the extended transition period is irrevocable.
25
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, Simply Good Foods is not required to, among other things, (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our systems of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (2) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (3) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (4) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply until Simply Good Foods no longer meets the requirements of being an emerging growth company. Simply Good Foods will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (a) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of Conyers Park’s initial public offering, which was July 20, 2016, (ii) in which Simply Good Foods has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion or (iii) in which Simply Good Foods is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of its common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its prior second fiscal quarter, and (b) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior 3-year period. We expect to cease being an emerging growth company as of the end of our fiscal year ending August 31, 2019.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There were no material changes in our market risk exposure during the thirteen week period ended
February 23, 2019
. For a discussion of our market risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures.
Management, including the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
February 23, 2019
, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
February 23, 2019
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
26
PART II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we have been and may again become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any litigation that we believe to be material and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Readers should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or future results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors included in our Annual Report. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
