Our strong performance underpins our long-term strategy and the value we bring to our global customer base,” said David Colo, president and CEO of MGP Ingredients. “Sales of brown goods grew 30% from the prior year period, driven by strong demand for our new distillate and aged whiskey. Within our Branded Spirits segment, we completed the acquisition of Penelope Bourbon in June, further strengthening our portfolio of premium plus brands, which grew 29% in sales from the prior year period. We expect our continued investment in premium plus spirits brands to position us well for incremental growth and margin expansion opportunities in the future. Our Ingredient Solutions business generated record sales during the quarter, which continued to benefit from the shift in consumer behavior toward plant-based diets. We believe our strong performance underscores the strength of our business model, and we remain committed to executing against our strategy to create further shareholder value.”

(the “Company” or “MGP”), value brought to customers, growth and margin expansion opportunities, the ability to create shareholder value, and the Company’s 2023 outlook, including its expectations for sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted basic EPS, and shares outstanding. Forward looking statements are usually identified by or are associated with words such as “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “forecast,” “hopeful,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “encouraged,” “opportunities,” “potential,” and similar terminology. These forward-looking statements reflect management’s current beliefs and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, Company performance, Company financial results, and Company financial condition and are not guarantees of future performance.

    All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include without limitation any effects of disruptions in our operations or a catastrophic event at our facilities; commodity price fluctuations; the effectiveness or execution of our strategic plan; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers; climate change and legal, regulatory or market measures to address climate change; product recalls or other product liability claims; damage to our reputation or that of any of our key customers or their brands; adverse public opinion about any of our specialty ingredients; warehouse expansion issues; our reliance on fewer, more profitable customer relationships; commercial, political, and financial risks; regulation and taxation requirements; tariffs, trade relations, and trade policies; labeling or warning requirements or limitations on the availability of our products; anti-corruption laws, trade sanctions and restrictions; changes in consumer preferences and purchases and our ability to anticipate or react to those changes; changes in public opinion about alcohol; our reliance on our distributors to distribute our branded spirits within their territories; failure to secure and maintain listings in control states; changes in excise taxes, incentives and customs duties; class action or other litigation; the availability and cost of raw materials, product ingredients, energy resources, or labor; global supply chain challenges; inflation; the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and defend against alleged intellectual property rights infringement claims; our dual-class stock structure and governing document provisions; our reliance on key information technology systems, networks, processes, associated sites, or service providers; acquisitions and potential future acquisitions; our ability to compete and competitive market conditions; work disruptions or stoppages; our reliance on key management personnel; covenants and other provisions in our credit arrangements; interest rate increases; pandemics or other health crises; and our planned closure of our Atchison, Kansas distillery. For further information on these risks and uncertainties and other factors that could affect the Company’s business, see the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2023, as well as the Company’s other SEC filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information in this press release, except as required by law.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    In addition to reporting financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, GAAP.   In addition to the comparable GAAP measures, the Company has disclosed adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted MGP earnings, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic and diluted EPS, as well as guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic EPS. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with gross profit, operating income, income before income taxes, net income, net income used in earnings per share calculation, and basic and diluted EPS computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP measure.   We believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations.   In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP measures when evaluating the Company’s operating results compared to prior periods on a consistent basis, assessing financial trends and for forecasting purposes.   Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Full year 2023 guidance measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic EPS are provided on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Such items include without limitation, acquisition related expenses, restructuring and related expenses, and other items not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.

    Conversion premium in shares (d) (e) 77,520      54,869    

    (a) Number of bonds outstanding is calculated by taking the principal amount of the bonds divided by the par value.

    (b) Average share price is calculated by taking the average of the daily closing share price for the period. If the average share price is less than the conversion price of $96.23620 per share, the impact to EPS is anti-dilutive and therefore the shares were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.

    (c) Impact of conversion is calculated by taking the number of bonds outstanding multiplied by the initial conversion rate multiplied by the average share price. If the average share price is less than the conversion price then the impact of conversion is zero.

    (d) The impacts of the Convertible Senior Notes were included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding if the impact was dilutive. The Convertible Senior Notes would only have a dilutive impact if the average market price per share during the quarter and year to date period exceeds the conversion price of $96.23620 per share. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the average market price per share during the quarter exceeded $96.24 per share; however, the impact to diluted EPS calculation was less than $0.01, which resulted in reported basic and diluted EPS being equal at $1.44. For the year to date ended June 30, 2023, the inclusion of the shares had a dilutive impact and were included in the diluted EPS calculation. For the quarter ended and year to date ended June 30, 2023, the inclusion of the shares had a dilutive impact and were included in the diluted EPS calculation. There was no dilutive impact for the quarter ended and year to date ended June 30, 2022.

    (e) Conversion premium in shares is calculated by taking the conversion premium divided by the average share price. If the average share price is less than the conversion price, then the conversion premium in shares is zero.
