MicroCapClub Invitational: Innovative Food Holdings (IVFH)

description

Innovative Food Holdings (IVFH) is a leading nationwide provider of direct from source specialty foods, healthcare foods, gluten free foods, and artisanal foods. The company’s specialty food platform powers some of the largest food distributors in the country. Innovative Food Holdings has showcased over 50 consecutive months of year over year growth while increasing profitability. A few of us MicroCapClub members visited the company’s headquarters in Florida last summer and came away impressed with how management is positioning itself in the Specialty Food space. The industry is ripe for consolidation. In the month of January alone, there were 21 M&A transactions in the food distributor industry. In the specialty food distributor category The Chefs’ Warehouse (CHEF) and United Natural Foods (UNFI) have been growing rapidly, mostly by way of acquisitions. With Amazon.com (AMZN) now entering the direct to consumer space by way of amazonfresh, we feel Innovative Food Holdings is right in the sweet spot of the industry and also likely in the crosshairs of industry participants.

+ Broadline Foodservice Distributors

Broadliners distributes a full line of standard food products

and a wide variety of non-food products to their customers.

Full line of standard products: Heinz ® ketchup, potatoes,

Tyson® chicken nuggets etc.

High inventory turn products

Limited capability to serve higher end establishments

Less specialized product expertise

Limited line of specialty and niche products

Not ideally suited to offer small batch products from small

artisanal companies

Broadliners face perception and scale challenges related to

high end specialty foods

+ Specialty Foodservice vs. Broadline Foodservice

Bottom Line:

A typical broadline distributor is not able to

offer a specialty foodservice program with the

high quality products, high quality customer

service, dedicated chef expertise, proactive

procurement and logistics required for a

successful specialty program

+ Strategic M&A

Specialty food distribution remains highly fragmented

High quality acquisition opportunities at below $15 million – as major buyers focus on larger opportunities

Financial strength to execute acquisition strategy

~ $1.4M cash at end of Q3, more at year end 2013 + $1.35M bank line

Additional highly flexible bank lending support for synergistic acquisitions

Target small specialty distributors

< than $10M annual sales; positive EBITDA, local and regional specialty operators

Selected specialty food E-commerce opportunities

Heavily venture capital backed , little profits - market ripe for opportunistic acquisitions

Focus on GM opportunities/expansion

Successful acquisition/integration of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc.

Geographical synergy: reduces shipping costs, delivery times and additional local program flexibility

GM improvements since Artisan acquisition/integration

M&A Growth Opportunities

Page 14: MicroCapClub Invitational: Innovative Food Holdings (IVFH)

+ Specialty Food Acquisition Landscape

Hundreds of small “mom and pops”

Prudent acquisition multiple model: 2-3.5X EBITDA target

Operate as stand alone local distributor with staged IT integration

Instill financial discipline and financial reporting to operations

Build out select geographic footprint slowly- synergistic to overall

business

Less competition for quality targets at lower end of market

Artisan Specialty integration complete

+ Online Specialty Foods

Chefs starting to move towards online purchasing

10% < of consumers buy food online – still overwhelmingly in-store driven.*

Online grocery sales growth expected to increase**

Expect online specialty foods to grow faster than overall e-grocer market

Foodservice/Consumer specialty food - not yet disrupted via E-commerce

Amazon® and Amazon Fresh® likely to be major disrupter and create growth

opportunities in the sector

Highly fragmented specialty E-commerce market

Heavily VC backed and hyped - but still little or no profits

Biggest operational challenge: food logistics, GM sustainability and ability

to scale *Mitel **Boston Consulting group
