Hostess Brands Inc 's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
We compete in the broad snacking universe with a focus on sweet snacks within targeted consumer snacking occasions. Hostess? is the #2 brand and has the #1 cupcake and mini-donut product in the U.S. SBG category, according to Nielsen retail data as of December 31, 2022. The top three brands, Little Debbie, Hostess? and Entenmann?s account for 67% of the SBG retail sales, while the rest of the category remains fairly fragmented. With limited private label penetration in the SBG category, consumers have shown a strong preference for trusted brands. The leading positions are solidified through extensive product portfolios, strong brand awareness, established distribution capabilities and long-standing relationships with critical high-volume retailers. Furthermore, high levels of capital investment required to establish manufacturing and distribution capabilities of meaningful scale, provide additional barriers to entry.
Voortman? has the #1 creme wafer and sugar free cookie products within the larger Cookie category in the U.S. Nabisco? is the top brand with approximately 41.4% of the overall Cookie category according to Nielsen retail data as of December 31, 2022. There is higher private label penetration in the Cookie category than the SBG category.
We face competition from other brands, large national bakeries, smaller regional operators and supermarket chains with their own private label brands. The key competitive factors in the industry include product quality, price, brand recognition and loyalty, promotional activities, access to retail outlets, sufficient shelf-space and ability to identify and satisfy consumer preferences. Some of our largest national SBG competitors include Flowers Foods, Inc., Grupo Bimbo, S.A., McKee Foods Corporation and Mondelez International, Inc. In addition, we also compete with regional manufacturers and other companies that produce cookies, candies and other snacks. At times, we experience pricing pressure in certain markets from competitor promotions and other pricing practices. However, we believe our brand recognition, product quality and innovation have generated consumer loyalty to many of our products, which helps mitigate this impact.
