Sadot Group Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results

2023 Revenue Rises to $726.7 million from $161.7 million in 2022

Adjusted EBITDA Rises to $0.1 million vs. $2.0 million loss Year over Year

Engages Third Party to Explore the Potential Divestment of its Restaurant and Food Prep Assets

FORT WORTH, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2024 / Sadot Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SDOT) (the "Sadot Group" or the "Company"), an emerging player in the global food supply chain sector, today announced that it disclosed its full year results for the period ending December 31, 2023. Chief Executive Officer, Michael Roper and Chief Financial Officer, Jennifer Black will host a conference call at 11 am Eastern Daylight Time on March 21, 2024, to discuss the results. All interested parties are invited to join this call. The full year financial statements ended December 31, 2023, are available on the "Investors" section of the Company's website (https://www.ir-sadotgroupinc.com/sec-filings) and can also be found on www.sec.gov.

Financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2023:

  • In 2023, the Company's consolidated revenue was $726.7 million, a significant increase compared to $161.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from operations was $0.1 million in 2023 compared to $2.0 million loss in 2022.
  • In 2023, the Company's assets increased to $178.1 million from $27.2 million in 2022.
  • The Company, as of December 31, 2023, had a cash balance of $1.4 million compared to a cash balance of $9.9 million in 2022 as cash was deployed to facilitate trades.
  • In 2023, Sadot Group's working capital increased to $8.3 million from $4.0 million in 2022.

Review of Key Highlights:

  • The Company reported consolidated revenue increase from the prior year is mainly due to sales revenue generated from our Sadot Agri-Foods division which began operations in November of 2022.
  • The Company's 2023 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from operations was $0.1 million for 2023 compared to $2.0 million loss in 2022 was mainly due to our Sadot Agri-Foods division which generated $9.3 million of net income.
  • The Company's total assets increased from $27.2 million in 2022 to $178.1 million in 2023. This is attributed to strategic initiatives such as the acquisition of the farm, accounts receivable related to trades, and forward sales contracts for future delivery.
  • As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $1.4 million compared to a cash balance of $9.9 million as of December 31, 2022. This decline is a deliberate outcome of Sadot Group's strategic shift away from the restaurant business towards the Sadot Agri-Foods division. The deployment of cash is intrinsic to the Company's business model for generating revenue and margins.
  • The Company is fully focusing on the Sadot Agri-Foods division as we have made the decision to explore alternatives including potentially divesting the Company of its restaurant operations which have had a material impact on earnings over the past year. The Company has engaged Lisiten Associates in New York, specialists in the sale of restaurant concepts, to explore the potential divestment of the Company's remaining restaurant and meal prep assets.

"It has been a truly transformative first 16 months since Sadot Group refocused and retooled the organization to become an emerging player in the global food supply chain," stated Michael Roper CEO of Sadot group. "Beginning with our initial focus on agri-commodity origination and trading, we have embarked on a journey of diversification and growth. Our strategic decision to hire Lisiten Associates to explore alternatives in our restaurant holdings underscores our commitment to focusing on our core operations and driving long-term value for our shareholders."

Reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Other Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures. We define EBITDA as Net loss, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, interest income / (expense), and income taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net loss, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, net interest (income) expense, income taxes, impairment expenses, stock-based consulting expense, derived from amounts presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss. We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are useful metrics for investors to understand and evaluate our operating results and ongoing profitability because they permit investors to evaluate our recurring profitability from our ongoing operating activities.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, have certain limitations, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of any of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because some issuers calculate certain of the Non-GAAP Measures differently or not at all, limiting their usefulness as direct comparative measures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net loss, and the calculations of the Net loss margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:
