Fiscal 2025 Outlook
Thilo Wrede, Vital Farms� Chief Financial Officer, commented: "We are raising our net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal 2025, reflecting the strong performance of our core business and successful implementation of strategic pricing actions. Our increased outlook is supported by robust consumer demand and improving supply dynamics as our expanded network of family farms ramps up production. We are increasing our capital expenditure outlook to accelerate the buildout of our
For fiscal year 2025, we now expect:
-
Net revenue of at least
, which represents at least$770 million 27% growth versus fiscal year 2024 results, an increase from previous guidance of at least .$740 million -
Adjusted EBITDA of at least
, which represents at least$110 million 26% growth versus fiscal year 2024, an increase from previous guidance of at least .$100 million -
Capital expenditures in the range of
to$90 million , an increase from our previous guidance of$110 million to$50 . This increase reflects our strategic decision to construct both production lines at our$60 million Seymour, Indiana facility simultaneously rather than in phases, and add onsite cold storage, which we believe will provide us with sufficient capacity to supply future expected demand and also optimize our capital efficiency on a per-square-foot basis. Our capital expenditure plans continue to also support investments in our new production line at Egg Central Station inSpringfield , our accelerator farms, and our Digital Transformation project, which remains on track to go live in early Fall 2025. We continue to evaluate our capital allocation priorities, and we will provide updates as necessary in future earnings reports.
Vital Farms� guidance assumes that there are no significant disruptions to the supply chain or its customers or consumers, including any issues from adverse macroeconomic factors. Vital Farms cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net income and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and net income margin, their most directly comparable GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for income taxes, among other items. These items are not within our control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.
Conference Call and Webcast Details
Vital Farms will host a conference call and webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET today to discuss the results. To participate on the live call, listeners in
In addition, Vital Farms will publish its August 2025 Corporate Presentation as supporting materials to the webcast on the Vital Farms Investor Relations website at under “Events & Presentations.�

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) stock-based compensation expense; (3) (benefit) or provision for income taxes as applicable; (4) interest expense; and (5) interest income. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin include that (1) they do not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) they do not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense, (4) they do not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense; and (5) they do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner, limiting the usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial measures, including our net income and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.
