					Our Vision
		Lead the nutritious snacking movement with trusted brands that offer a variety of convenient, innovative, great-tasting, better-for-you snacks, meal replacements and other product offerings.

					Our Values
		• Act with Integrity • Lead with Innovation • Succeed through Interdependence • Be Empowered • Bring Passion Every Day

	$1,242.7M				$133.6M				$245.6M
	net sales				net income				Adjusted EBITDA

				Strong Cash Generation
				Our asset-light, outsourced manufacturing business model continues to be a competitive advantage. In fiscal year 2023, we generated steady cash flow from operations of $171.1 million. During the year, we paid down $121.5 million of our term loan debt, and at the end of fiscal year 2023 the outstanding principal balance was $285 million, we had cash and cash equivalents of $87.7 million, and our trailing 12-month Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 0.8x*.
				Increasing Market Performance in Attractive Nutritional Snacking Category
				Our total Simply Good Foods market performance within the total nutritional snacking category, in the combined measured and unmeasured channels, increased 13%. This is based on IRI Multi-outlet plus Convenience Stores (IRI-MULO+C store) retail takeaway data for measured channels and our internal data for unmeasured channels. Quest and Atkins continue to be leaders in their respective subsegments of active nutrition and weight management with top tier performance versus competitor brands. Specifically, Quest fiscal year 2023 retail takeaway in measured and unmeasured channels grew about 24% compared to fiscal year 2022. Atkins total retail takeaway in measured and unmeasured channels was up about 1% in fiscal year 2023 despite contraction in the weight loss subsegment of the category. We believe the long-term growth outlook for the nutritional snacking category is strong. We also believe current low household penetration coupled with consumer interest in snacking and wellness, provide tailwinds for future growth.
				Supply Chain Excellence
				Our supply chain team performed well and customer service levels improved during fiscal year 2023. Our team’s collaborative work with suppliers, contract manufacturers and distributors enabled us to service our retail and e-commerce customers at expected levels.
				Robust Innovation
				A portion of our sales is driven by new products, and we believe innovation is, and will continue to be, an important component of our business. In fiscal year 2023, we continued to build a robust pipeline of innovation across both of our brands. These new products are now available, or will be available in fiscal year 2024, and we believe these new products position us for continued market share gains in fiscal year 2024 and beyond. We believe the diversification of our business across brands, product forms and retail channels provides us with multiple ways to win in the marketplace.
