<h3 id="smpl-updates-full-fiscal-year-guidance-expects-sales-to-rise-by-4-6">SMPL Updates Full Fiscal Year Guidance, Expects Sales to Rise By 4%-6%</h3>
<p>The Simply Good Foods Company has updated its full fiscal year 2024 outlook, adjusting its net sales and EBITDA growth expectations. Initially projected to increase at the high end of its long-term algorithm, net sales are now expected to rise around the midpoint of the 4-6% range, including the benefit of a fifty-third week. Solid gross margin expansion will drive solid adjusted EBITDA growth by 6-8%.</p>
<p>This revised guidance reflects the company’s pragmatic approach in a dynamic market environment, particularly the lower-than-anticipated Atkins consumption in the second quarter. Despite these adjustments, the company remains confident in its strategic priorities and the long-term potential of its brands, which are supported by strong advertising, marketing, and innovation plans.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
