\u201cOur first quarter results reflect disciplined execution of our key priorities to drive profitability,\u201d said Dan Fachner, J&J Snack Foods Chairman, President, and CEO. \u201cWe are pleased to deliver 7% year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA and a 200 basis point expansion in gross margin despite a 5.2% decline in sales and a $1 million expense for product disposal. Our results were enabled by our Project Apollo initiatives including strategic portfolio rationalization of lower margin products within our bakery business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain optimistic about our trajectory and have several exciting commercial initiatives underway. The momentum in our pretzel business from the second half of fiscal 2025 continued in the first quarter. We have several innovative product launches that will reach customers in the second quarter, including Dippin\u2019 Dots products for retail, as well as pretzel and frozen novelty products centered around better-for-you attributes. Project Apollo, our business transformation program, is progressing and we are on track to deliver the $20 million of annualized savings we outlined last quarter. Underscoring our confidence in the future and our focus on driving long-term value, we repurchased $42 million of stock during the first quarter and today are announcing a new $50 million repurchase authorization.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n First Quarter Results<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Net sales decreased 5.2% from the prior year quarter to $343.8 million, with most of the decline attributable to our bakery business and strategic portfolio rationalization efforts.<\/p>\n
