Pattern Detected

Earnings results have triggered the largest moves, including a sharp negative reaction to the prior quarter, while dividends and conference-call notices have had relatively modest, mixed impacts.

Recent Company History

Over the last six months, JJSF news has centered on earnings, capital returns, and routine corporate actions. The prior fiscal 2026 Q1 results on Feb 3, 2026 showed weaker sales but growing adjusted EBITDA and led to a -15.44% move. Two dividend declarations with $0.80 quarterly payouts had small, mixed price reactions. Conference call scheduling notices in Jan 2026 and Apr 2026 produced minimal movement. Today’s second quarter report continues the theme of revenue pressure offset by margin and adjusted profitability gains.

Analysis

The stock moved -7.0% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite adjusted earnings growth fits prior sensitivity to reported profit pressure. Fiscal 2026 Q2 net sales declined and GAAP operating income and net earnings fell versus last year, similar to the weaker headline figures seen in fiscal 2026 Q1, which preceded a -15.44% move. While gross margin and adjusted EBITDA improved, ongoing plant closure and restructuring costs, plus segment-level softness in bakery and frozen novelties, could raise concerns about the pace and cost of the transformation.

Key Terms

non-gaap financial measures, adjusted ebitda, effective tax rate, share repurchase program
4 terms
non-gaap financial measures financial
"This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
adjusted ebitda financial
"including a 9.5% increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a 14.3% increase"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
effective tax rate financial
"The effective tax rate was 28.1%, compared to 27.2% in the prior"
The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.
share repurchase program financial
"there was $28 million remaining under the $50 million share repurchase program"
A share repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's prospects. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued or that it has extra cash to return to shareholders.

"Our second quarter results demonstrate meaningful progress in our strategic transformation, with strong profitability improvements that position us well for the future," said Dan Fachner, Chairman, President, and CEO of J&J Snack Foods. "Our transformation initiatives and mix improvements enabled us to drive solid bottom line growth including a 9.5% increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a 14.3% increase in Adjusted earnings per share. These results clearly show that Project Apollo is delivering tangible benefits and improving our underlying business performance.

"The innovative product launches we discussed last quarter are now reaching customers with positive early reception, and our pipeline remains robust. During the quarter, we repurchased $22 million of stock and we continue to see compelling value in our shares as we execute our transformation strategy."

Second Quarter Results

Net sales decreased 3.2% from the prior year quarter to $344.8 million, with most of the decline attributable to anticipated reductions to our bakery business.

  • Food Service segment net sales decreased 5.0%
  • Retail Supermarket segment net sales decreased 4.1%
  • Frozen Beverage segment net sales increased 3.1%

Gross profit increased from $95.7 million in the prior year quarter to $99.3 million, while gross margin improved from 26.9% to 28.8%. The improvement in gross margin primarily reflects our Apollo transformation initiatives and mix improvements versus the prior year.

Total operating expenses of $97.5 million included $6.5 million in non-recurring plant closure costs, as well as other non-recurring expenses. Of the non-recurring costs, $4.1 million was non-cash.

  • Selling and Marketing expenses increased 5.5% to $30.1 million or 8.7% of sales, up from 8.0% in the prior year quarter. The increase included investments in brand support and sponsorships.
  • Distribution expenses decreased 0.2% to $41.7 million or 12.1% of sales up from 11.7% in the prior year quarter. Distribution expenses included higher fuel costs of approximately $0.4 million.
  • Administrative expenses increased 7.2% to $21.2 million or 6.1% of sales, up from 5.5% in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in non-recurring legal expenses and other restructuring charges including severance.

Operating income was $1.8 million, compared to $6.0 million in the prior year quarter, while adjusted operating income was $9.6 million, compared to $8.9 million in the prior year quarter. Earnings per diluted share were $0.09, compared to $0.25 in the prior year quarter, while adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.40, compared to $0.35 in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate was 28.1%, compared to 27.2% in the prior year quarter.

Food Service Segment

  • Net sales of $214.7 million, a year-over-year decrease of $11.4 million or 5.0%
  • Anticipated reductions in our lower margin bakery business represented approximately $8.0 million of the decline.
  • Pretzels sales increased $6.7 million, partly offsetting lower sales of handhelds, cookies, and churros.
  • Operating income increased $3.4 million to $10.9 million.

Retail Supermarket Segment

  • Net sales of $51.6 million, a year-over-year decrease of $2.2 million or 4.1%.
  • Frozen novelty sales declined $3.9 million, driven primarily by increased slotting fees associated with our new product innovation and higher trade investment compared to the prior year.
  • Retail handheld sales increased as we lapped capacity constraints in the prior year.
  • Operating income decreased $3.9 million to a ($0.4) million loss.

Frozen Beverages Segment

  • Net sales of $78.5 million, a year-over-year increase of $2.3 million or 3.1%.
  • Beverage sales were up $5.2 million while service sales declined $3.2 million.
  • Operating income increased $2.1 million to $4.6 million.

Share Repurchases

During the quarter, we repurchased 259,889 shares of common stock for $22 million. As of March 28, 2026, there was $28 million remaining under the $50 million share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements regarding the Company’s expected future financial position, results of operations, revenue growth and profit levels, cash flows, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, capital expenditures, products, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, as well as statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “if,” “believe,” “plan,” “goals,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. This includes, without limitation, our statements, and expectations regarding any current or future recovery in our industry and the future impact of our operational efficiency projects. Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and readers must recognize that actual results may differ materially from the expectations of management. We do not undertake a duty to update such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include consumer spending, price competition, acceptance of new products, the pricing and availability of raw materials, transportation costs, changes in the competitive marketplace the uncertainty and ultimate economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or similar health outbreaks, and other risks identified in our annual report on Form 10-K, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are outside of the Company’s control.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA consists of net earnings adjusted to exclude: income taxes (benefit); investment income; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; net (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets; impairment charges, restructuring costs, merger and acquisition costs, acquisition related inventory adjustments, strategic business transformation costs, integration costs, non-recurring legal fee settlements, gain on insurance proceeds received for damage to property, plant and equipment, and plant closure expenses. Adjusted Operating Income consists of operating income adjusted to exclude: impairment charges, restructuring costs, merger and acquisition costs, acquisition related amortization expenses and inventory adjustments, strategic business transformation costs, integration costs, non-recurring legal fee settlements, gain on insurance proceeds received for damage to property, plant and equipment, and plant closure expenses. Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share consists of net earnings adjusted to exclude: impairment charges, restructuring costs, merger and acquisition costs, acquisition related amortization expenses and inventory adjustment, strategic business transformation costs, integration costs, non-recurring legal fee settlements, gain on insurance proceeds received for damage to property, plant and equipment, and plant closure expenses. For purposes of comparability, the income tax effect of pre-tax adjustments is determined using statutory tax rates. This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures; Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flow of the company. Pursuant to applicable reporting requirements, the company has provided reconciliations below of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures presented within the Company's earnings release are not indicators of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the applicable GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur income, expenses, gains and losses, similar to the adjustments in this press release. Our presentation of these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence to our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only as supplemental presentations. The non-GAAP measures presented are utilized by management to evaluate the Company's business performance and profitability by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results. The Company believes that these measures provide additional clarity for investors by excluding specific income, expenses, gains, and losses, in an effort to show comparable business operating results for the periods presented. Similarly, Management believes these adjusted measures are useful performance measures because certain items included in the calculations may either mask or exaggerate trends in the Company’s ongoing operating performance. See the reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
