Utz Brands Reports Strong Q1 2025 Revenue Growth, Maintains Outlook

Utz Brands reported strong first-quarter results with revenue of $352.1 million, surpassing most analyst expectations and reflecting a 1.6% year-over-year increase. The company achieved nearly 3% organic net sales growth, driven by effective trade promotions and an expanded presence in the branded salty snacks category. Adjusted earnings per share reached $0.16, in line with analyst estimates, while net income saw a notable increase compared to the previous year. Utz maintained its fiscal 2025 outlook, expecting low-single digit organic net sales growth, continued adjusted EBITDA and margin expansion, and projected adjusted EPS growth of 10% to 15%. The company anticipates only modest impact from recent tariff volatility due to its domestic sourcing and U.S.-based manufacturing. CEO Howard Friedman emphasized ongoing productivity savings and targeted promotions as key drivers for sustained growth.
