1 Q3 Growth of Frozen Fruit, Healthy Foods, and Private-Label Drives SunOpta s Acquisition of Sunrise Growers Food for Thought In This Report Growing demand for healthy, organic foods continues to drive M&A Private-label brands maintain market share as economy improves Sector-by-sector valuation and performance analysis of food and food retailing companies
2 FRONT LINE INSIGHTS Growth of Frozen Fruit, Healthy Foods, and Private Label Drives SunOpta s Acquisition of Sunrise Growers SunOpta s $450 million acquisition of Sunrise Growers, which closed last week, is a transaction that stands at the intersection of several of the most powerful trends shaping the food retail industry. In addition to the long-term macro trends of consumers growing demand for organic and other healthier foods and the continued attractiveness of private-label brands, the transaction was also driven by one of the hottest categories in food retail: frozen fruits. In this quarter s issue of Food for Thought, we examine the strategic and industry dynamics that drove interest in Sunrise Growers. We also analyze the growth prospects for frozen fruits and other healthy foods and discuss why private-label brands remain very attractive for food retailers. About the Transaction Sunrise Growers, which is based in California and has more than $300 million in annual sales, is the leading processor of conventional and organic frozen fruit in the United States. The company, which was previously owned by an investor group led by Paine & Partners, offers a variety of frozen fruit products and packaging formats 1 and serves retail private-label and foodservice customers. William Blair advised Sunrise Growers on its sale to SunOpta, which specializes in the sourcing, processing, and packaging of organic and non-genetically modified food products. Paine & Partners is a private equity firm that focuses on complex investment opportunities in the fast-growing, dynamic global food and agribusiness sectors. Hot Demand for Frozen Fruit SunOpta s and other potential acquirers pursuit of Sunrise Growers was driven largely by the company s No. 1 market position in a highly attractive category. Frozen fruit sales have increased from just $300 million a decade ago to more than $1 billion annually, according to research from Dole Packaged Foods that was published in a FoodNavigator USA article. With sales growth of 13.4% in 2014, frozen fruits are the fastestgrowing category in the frozen aisle and the fourth-fastest-growing food/ beverage category overall. This growth is particularly impressive considering that it comes during a period of relatively flat growth for frozen foods, which grew at 0.7% in It is no coincidence that the surge in demand for frozen fruits has come at a time when blender sales are soaring. In February, The Wall Street Journal, citing research from Euromonitor International, reported that blender sales in the United States more than doubled from 2009 to Smoothies have quickly become a breakfast or snack of choice for a population that is increasingly concerned with health and wellness. Our previous issue of Food for Thought focused on how, as demand for natural and organic food continues to surge, large consumer packaged goods companies are increasingly using M&A activity to add high-quality, health-oriented brands to their portfolios. SunOpta s acquisition of Sunrise Growers certainly represents a continuation of this trend. The aforementioned article from The Wall Street Journal reports that sales of organic frozen fruit are growing faster than nonorganic versions and now make up about 12% of sales. Continued Attractiveness of Private Label While the growth of the private-label industry has slowed somewhat as economic conditions have improved over the past several years, private label still represents a vastly important part of the CPG industry. According to Nielsen, private-label grocery sales reached $118 billion in 2014, or 17.8% of all sales. The private-label industry s ability to
3 maintain market share amid an improving economy shows that private label is here to stay. According to IRI, more than 80% of consumers today believe that private-label goods offer as good as or better quality than their namebrand counterparts. Private-label brands have shifted from being a cheap alternative to being a profit driver and point of differentiation for retailers. In addition to offering a tremendous value for shoppers, private-label brands typically generate higher gross margins than name-brand items. Private-label brands enhance retailers return on invested capital by requiring lower inventory investment and achieving inventory turnover that is generally on par with name brands. At William Blair, we have completed numerous transactions where the growing demand for natural, organic, and healthy foods and the attractiveness of private-label brands were major drivers of the sale process. To learn more about how these and other trends are shaping the deal-making landscape in the consumer industry, please do not hesitate to contact us. The private-label industry s ability to maintain market share amid an improving economy shows that private label is here to stay. Private Label Share of CPG Sales Private-label goods ability to maintain market share amid an improving economic climate is evidence that consumers no longer view store brands simply as a low-cost alternative to name brands. 18% 17.5% 17% 16.5% 16% Sources: Nielsen Strategic Planner (2009 data) & Nielsen Answers (2010- data) William Blair 2
4 ANALYSIS Multiple Expansion for Private-Label M&A Transactions As a result of growing relevance to retailers and continued consumer acceptance, private-label brands have become an increasingly important part of the CPG industry. These dynamics, combined with favorable market leverage, have resulted in higher valuations for M&A transactions involving private-label companies. This comparison looks at the average EV/LTM EBITDA multiples for eight transactions completed in and eight transactions completed in x 10x 8x 6x 4x 7.7x 9.8x Market Analysis Each quarter we look behind the numbers to examine the market dynamics that are driving trends in the deal-making landscape in the food and food retailing industries. 2x 0x EV/LTM EBITDA Source: William Blair s Mergers and Acquisitions market analysis Private-Label Brands Continue Gaining Market Share Even during an improving economic environment in 2013 and 2014, private-label sales gained market share relative to brand names at 68% of the retailers or wholesalers that responded to Store Brands State of the Industry Research Study.

5 Public Company Valuations Public-company valuations in the food, beverage, and food retail sectors on average outperformed the broader market in the third quarter as valuation multiples for those companies expanded while the multiples for the broader market contracted. The median enterprise-value-to-ltm-ebitda multiple for food production companies as of September 30,, was 13.2 times, up from 13.0 times in second quarter. In addition, recent market momentum has helped drive stock price performance for the food production sector compared with the broader market. The index of food production companies tracked by William Blair increased 1.4% over the year-to-date period, above the S&P 500, which was down 3.4% over the same period. Given the cash-flow-generative nature of food and beverage companies, it is not unusual to see multiple expansion in low interest rate environments as is the case currently.
