Commenting on the results, Rob Mills, President and Chief Executive Officer of B&G Foods, stated, “Third quarter and year-to-date results reflect encouraging progress across B&G Foods. We generated base business net sales growth of 5.0% in the third quarter and 1.8% year-to-date, while adjusted EBITDA increased $12.4 million, or 6.6%, year-to-date. We are encouraged by this progress and remain focused on building on it.”
“Since becoming CEO, I have spent considerable time engaging with our teams, reviewing our brands and operations, and identifying opportunities to strengthen performance. I have been impressed by the dedication of our employees, the strength of our brands and the potential across our portfolio. We are establishing a more focused and accountable operating approach, with an emphasis on profitable growth, productivity, faster and better decision-making, and disciplined execution.”
“As we look ahead, our priorities are clear: deliver on our 2026 commitments; build a stronger operating foundation for 2027 and beyond; accelerate productivity and cost savings; improve cash generation; and reduce leverage. We are taking deliberate actions to strengthen B&G Foods, improve financial flexibility and position our company for sustainable long-term performance.”
Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2026
Net sales for the third quarter of 2026 increased $20.5 million, or 4.7%, to $459.8 million from $439.3 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in base business net sales, three months of net sales for the College Inn and Kitchen Basics brands and three months of net sales from the co-manufacturing agreement the Company entered into with the acquirer of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business, partially offset by the Green Giant U.S. frozen and Le Sueur U.S. divestitures.
Base business net sales for the third quarter of 2026 increased $19.4 million, or 5.0%, to $404.6 million from $385.2 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase in base business net sales was driven by an increase in volume of $23.6 million, or 6.1% of base business net sales, partially offset by a decrease in net pricing and the impact of product mix of $3.3 million, or 0.9% of base business net sales, and the negative impact of foreign currency of $0.9 million, or 0.2% of base business net sales.
Net sales for the recently acquired College Inn and Kitchen Basics brands contributed $29.0 million to the Company’s net sales for the third quarter of 2026 and net sales of the Company’s Green Giant U.S. frozen co‑manufacturing agreement contributed $26.3 million of net sales in the third quarter of 2026. These net sales were partially offset by the Green Giant U.S. frozen business and the Le Sueur U.S. business, which contributed net sales during the third quarter of 2025 of $51.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which the Company divested in the first quarter of 2026 and in fiscal 2025, respectively, and are therefore not part of the Company’s third quarter of 2026 results.
For the third quarter of 2026, gross profit was $108.9 million, or 23.7% of net sales, and adjusted gross profit(1) was $111.2 million, or 24.2% of net sales. For the third quarter of 2025, gross profit was $99.0 million, or 22.5% of net sales, and adjusted gross profit was $98.8 million, or 22.5% of net sales. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales and adjusted gross profit percentage increased primarily due to the acquisition of the higher margin College Inn and Kitchen Basics brands and the divestiture of the lower margin Green Giant U.S. frozen business. Gross profit and adjusted gross profit also increased in part due to increased base business net sales and lower tariff expense, including the effect of certain tariff refunds received from the U.S. government.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.7 million, or 14.9%, to $51.3 million for the third quarter of 2026 from $44.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was composed of increases in acquisition/divestiture‑related and non-recurring expenses of $7.9 million, consumer marketing expenses of $0.6 million and warehousing expenses of $0.3 million, partially offset by decreases in selling expenses of $1.1 million and general and administrative expenses of $1.0 million. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 1.0 percentage point to 11.2% for the third quarter of 2026, as compared to 10.2% for the third quarter of 2025.
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $40.7 million related to indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets for the B&M and Joan of Arc brands in connection with the Company’s divestiture of those brands during the fourth quarter of 2026.
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $26.0 million related to indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets for the Victoria and McCann’s brands.
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.8 million related to the Green Giant Canada(2) assets held for sale. The gain resulted from a change in the estimated fair value of the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale less the estimated cost to sell those assets. Assets held for sale are remeasured quarterly.
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company completed the Le Sueur U.S. divestiture and recognized a gain on sale of $15.5 million. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $27.8 million related to the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale.
Net interest expense increased $7.5 million, or 20.1%, to $44.8 million for the third quarter of 2026 from $37.3 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average long-term debt outstanding compared to the third quarter of 2025, the 11.00% interest rate on the Company’s new senior notes due 2031, and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million during the third quarter of 2026 compared to a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2025.
The Company had a net loss of $32.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $19.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025.
The Company’s adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $17.8 million, or $0.21 per adjusted diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $11.7 million, or $0.15 per adjusted diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA was $81.8 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $70.4 million for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 17.8% for the third quarter of 2026, compared to 16.0% for the third quarter of 2025.
The increases in adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales were primarily attributable to increased base business net sales, the acquisition of the College Inn and Kitchen Basics brands, the divestiture of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business, the commencement of the Green Giant U.S. frozen co-manufacturing business, and lower tariff expenses, including the effect of certain tariff refunds received from the U.S. government.
Financial Results for the First Three Quarters of 2026
Net sales for the first three quarters of 2026 decreased $37.1 million, or 2.9%, to $1,252.0 million from $1,289.1 million for the first three quarters of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Green Giant U.S. frozen, Le Sueur U.S. and Don Pepino divestitures, partially offset by seven months of net sales from the co‑manufacturing agreement the Company entered into on March 2, 2026 with the acquirer of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business, six-and-a-half months of net sales for the College Inn and Kitchen Basics brands, and an increase in base business net sales.
As a result of the divestiture of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business on March 2, 2026, net sales from the Green Giant U.S. frozen business were $137.5 million lower during the first three quarters of 2026 than during the first three quarters of 2025. Net sales of the Don Pepino and Le Sueur U.S. businesses, which the Company divested in 2025 and are therefore not part of the Company’s first three quarters of 2026 results, were $22.6 million during the first three quarters of 2025. Partially offsetting the impact of these divestitures were seven months of net sales from the Green Giant U.S. frozen co-manufacturing agreement, which contributed $58.7 million of net sales in the first three quarters of 2026, and six-and-a-half months of net sales for the College Inn and Kitchen Basics brands, acquired on March 19, 2026, which contributed $45.1 million to the Company’s net sales for the first three quarters of 2026.
Base business net sales for the first three quarters of 2026 increased $19.7 million, or 1.8%, to $1,116.0 million from $1,096.3 million for the first three quarters of 2025. The increase in base business net sales was driven by an increase in volume of $15.2 million, or 1.4% of base business net sales, an increase in net pricing and the impact of product mix (primarily related to the Spices & Flavor Solutions business unit) of $3.4 million, or 0.3% of base business net sales, and the positive impact of foreign currency of $1.1 million, or 0.1% of base business net sales.
For the first three quarters of 2026, gross profit was $268.5 million or 21.4% of net sales, and adjusted gross profit was $279.4 million, or 22.3% of net sales. For the first three quarters of 2025, gross profit was $276.1 million, or 21.4% of net sales, and adjusted gross profit was $278.5 million, or 21.6% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit percentage increased due to the acquisition of the higher margin College Inn and Kitchen Basics brands, the divestiture of the lower margin Green Giant U.S. frozen business, and lower tariff expenses during the first three quarters of 2026 compared to the first three quarters of 2025, including the effect of certain tariff refunds received from the U.S. government.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 0.8%, to $142.1 million for the first three quarters of 2026 from $140.9 million for the first three quarters of 2025. The increase was composed of an increase in acquisition/divestiture‑related and non‑recurring expenses of $16.6 million, inclusive of an increase of $1.9 million for disposals and impairments of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by decreases in general and administrative expenses of $7.5 million, warehousing expenses of $4.9 million, selling expenses of $1.8 million and consumer marketing expenses of $1.2 million. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 0.4 percentage points to 11.3% for the first three quarters of 2026, as compared to 10.9% for the first three quarters of 2025.
During the first three quarters of 2026, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $40.7 million related to indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets for the B&M and Joan of Arc brands in connection with the Company’s divestiture of those brands during the fourth quarter of 2026.
During the first three quarters of 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $26.0 million related to indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets for the Victoria and McCann’s brands.
During the first three quarters of 2026, the Company recognized a loss on sale of assets of $36.3 million, primarily related to the divestiture of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business.
During the first three quarters of 2026, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.8 million related to the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale. The gain resulted from a change in the estimated fair value of the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale less the estimated cost to sell those assets. Assets held for sale are remeasured quarterly.
During the first three quarters of 2025, the Company recognized a net gain on sale of assets of $2.9 million, which includes a gain on sale of $15.5 million for the Le Sueur U.S. divestiture during the third quarter of 2025 and a loss on sale of $12.6 million for the Don Pepino divestiture during the second quarter of 2025. During the first three quarters of 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $27.8 million related to the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale.
Net interest expense increased $8.3 million, or 7.4%, to $119.1 million for the first three quarters of 2026 from $110.8 million for the first three quarters of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average long‑term debt outstanding during the first three quarters of 2026 compared to the first three quarters of 2025, the 11.00% interest rate on the Company’s new senior notes due 2031, and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million during the first three quarters of 2026 compared to a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $2.3 million during the first three quarters of 2025. During the first three quarters of 2026, net interest expense was also negatively impacted in connection with the Company’s debt refinancing because the Company’s 11.00% senior notes due 2031 were issued on June 10, 2026, prior to the redemption of the Company’s 5.25% senior notes due 2027, and therefore during a 24-day period, the Company incurred interest expense on both sets of notes, which was only partially offset by interest earned on the net proceeds of the issuance of the 11.00% senior notes due 2031.
The Company had a net loss of $69.0 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the first three quarters of 2026, compared to a net loss of $28.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first three quarters of 2025. The Company’s larger net loss for the first three quarters of 2026 as compared to the first three quarters of 2025 was primarily attributable to: the pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $40.7 million related to indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets for the B&M and Joan of Arc brands in connection with the Company’s divestiture of those brands during the fourth quarter of 2026, the loss on sale of assets of $36.3 million (primarily related to the divestiture of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business during the first quarter of 2026), and an increase in acquisition/divestiture-related and non‑recurring expenses, partially offset by the gain of approximately $1.8 million related to the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale recorded during the third quarter of 2026 as compared to the pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $27.8 million related to the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale during the third quarter of 2025.
The Company’s adjusted net income for the first three quarters of 2026 was $29.5 million, or $0.36 per adjusted diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $18.1 million, or $0.23 per adjusted diluted share, for the first three quarters of 2025. The increase in adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the first three quarters of 2026 was primarily attributable to the factors described above, and a decrease in depreciation and amortization.
For the first three quarters of 2026, adjusted EBITDA was $199.9 million, an increase of $12.4 million, or 6.6%, compared to $187.5 million for the first three quarters of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 16.0% for the first three quarters of 2026, compared to 14.5% for the first three quarters of 2025.

The increase in Specialty segment net sales for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 was primarily due to increased volumes in the Specialty portfolio, inclusive of increased institutional bulk vegetable oil sales, partially offset by a decrease in net pricing and the impact of product mix. For the first three quarters of 2026, the increase was also partially offset by the divestiture of the Don Pepino business, which generated $5.3 million of net sales in the first three quarters of 2025.
The decrease in Specialty segment adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 was primarily due to higher oil input costs for the Crisco brand and increased transportation and logistics costs due to rising diesel fuel prices. For the first three quarters of 2026, a portion of the decrease in Specialty segment adjusted EBITDA was also attributable to the Don Pepino divestiture.

The increase in Meals segment net sales for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 was primarily due to the College Inn and Kitchen Basics acquisition, which contributed $29.0 million and $45.1 million of net sales for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026, respectively, and an increase in net pricing and the impact of product mix, offset in part by lower volumes across the Meals segment in the aggregate for the first three quarters of 2026, after excluding the benefit of the net sales from the College Inn and Kitchen Basics acquisition. Net sales for the third quarter of 2026 were also positively impacted by an increase in volumes across the Meals segment in the aggregate, as well as the positive impact on volumes from the College Inn and Kitchen Basics acquisition.
The increase in Meals segment adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 was primarily due to the increase in Meals segment net sales, primarily attributable to the College Inn and Kitchen Basics acquisition and an increase in overall net pricing for the Meals segment, partially offset by, among other things, increases in certain raw material costs, coupled with increased transportation and logistics costs due to rising diesel fuel prices.

The decrease in Frozen & Vegetables segment net sales for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 was primarily due to the Green Giant U.S. frozen divestiture (which negatively impacted net sales versus the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025 by $25.6 million and $78.8 million, respectively, net of the positive impact on net sales of the Green Giant U.S. frozen co‑manufacturing agreement of $26.3 million and $58.7 million, respectively), and the Le Sueur U.S. divestiture (which negatively impacted net sales versus the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025 by $2.3 million and $17.4 million, respectively). Net sales for Green Giant Canada(2) increased by $5.0 million, or 21.6%, and $9.8 million, or 13.6%, for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026, respectively.
The increase in Frozen & Vegetables segment adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 was primarily due to the Green Giant U.S. frozen divestiture and the Green Giant U.S. frozen co‑manufacturing agreement.

The increase in Spices & Flavor Solutions segment net sales for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 was primarily due to strong continued growth in private label and foodservice channels, and a moderate increase in net pricing, partially offset by declines in volumes for certain spice brands.
The increase in Spices & Flavor Solutions segment adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 was primarily due to a moderate increase in net pricing, a reduction in input costs for spices relative to the first three quarters of last year, and lower tariff expenses, including the effect of certain tariff refunds received from the U.S. government. The increase was partially offset by increased transportation and logistics costs due to rising diesel fuel prices.
Full Year Fiscal 2026 Guidance
B&G Foods increased its net sales guidance for fiscal 2026 to a range of $1.760 billion to $1.800 billion, increased its adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $280.0 million to $290.0 million, and reaffirmed its adjusted diluted earnings per share at a range of $0.575 to $0.675. This guidance (1) includes the expected impact of one fewer reporting week in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025, (2) includes the expected impact of the Company’s divestiture of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business, which closed on March 2, 2026, and the Company’s entry into a co-manufacturing agreement with the acquirer of the business, (3) includes the expected impact of the Don Pepino divestiture, which closed on May 23, 2025, (4) includes the expected impact of the Le Sueur U.S. divestiture, which closed on August 1, 2025, (5) includes the expected impact of the College Inn and Kitchen Basics acquisition, which closed on March 19, 2026, (6) includes the expected impact of the B&M and Joan of Arc divestiture, which closed on October 13, 2026, and (7) excludes the potential impact from any divestiture of Green Giant Canada.
B&G Foods provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for deferred taxes; acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets); gains and losses on extinguishment of debt; impairment of assets held for sale; impairment of intangible assets; non-recurring expenses, gains and losses; and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding B&G Foods’ non-GAAP financial measures, see “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability” below.
Conference Call
B&G Foods will hold a conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET today, November 10, 2026 to discuss third quarter 2026 financial results. The live audio webcast of the conference call can be accessed at www.bgfoods.com/investor-relations. A replay of the webcast will be available following the conference call through the same link.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability
“Adjusted net income” (net income (loss) adjusted for certain items that affect comparability), “adjusted diluted earnings per share” (diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain items that affect comparability), “base business net sales” (net sales excluding (1) the net sales from acquisitions until the net sales from such acquisitions are included in both comparable periods, (2) net sales of discontinued or divested brands, and (3) net sales from the Company’s Green Giant U.S. frozen co-manufacturing agreement until the net sales from the co‑manufacturing agreement are included in both comparable periods), “EBITDA” (net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization), “adjusted EBITDA” (EBITDA as adjusted for cash and non-cash acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets), gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, impairment of assets held for sale, impairment of intangible assets, and non-recurring expenses, gains and losses), “segment adjusted EBITDA” (segment net sales less segment adjusted expenses), “segment adjusted expenses” (primarily includes cost of goods sold and other expenses incurred by the Company’s business segments to run day-to-day operations, excluding unallocated corporate items, depreciation and amortization, acquisition/divestiture-related and non-recurring expenses, impairment of intangible assets, goodwill and assets held for sale, gains and losses on sales of assets, interest expense, and income tax expense or benefit), “adjusted gross profit” (gross profit adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold) and “adjusted gross profit percentage” (gross profit as a percentage of net sales adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold) are “non-GAAP financial measures.” A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) in B&G Foods’ consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to adjust for certain items that affect comparability. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management. Because the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of these items that affect comparability, management does not consider these items when evaluating the Company’s performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.
Additional information regarding EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA to net loss and, in the case of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, to net cash provided by operating activities, is included below for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 and 2025, along with the components of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA. Also included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP terms adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and base business net sales to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows.

Segment net sales, segment adjusted expenses and segment adjusted EBITDA are the primary measures used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to evaluate segment operating performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. The Company’s CODM is the Company’s chief executive officer. Segment adjusted expenses and segment adjusted EBITDA exclude unallocated corporate items, depreciation and amortization, acquisition/divestiture-related and non-recurring expenses, impairment of intangible assets, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and assets held for sale, gains and losses on sales of assets and sales and disposals of property, plant and equipment, interest expense, and income tax expense or benefit. Unallocated corporate items consist of centrally managed corporate functions, including selling, marketing, procurement, centralized administrative functions, insurance, and other similar expenses not directly tied to segment operating performance. Depreciation and amortization expenses are neither maintained nor available by business segment, as the Company’s manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution activities are centrally managed. These items that are centrally managed at the corporate level, and therefore excluded from the measures of segment adjusted expenses and segment adjusted EBITDA, are reviewed by the CODM. Expenses that are managed centrally but can be attributed to a segment, such as warehousing and transportation expenses, are generally allocated to segments based on net sales. |

and the risks associated with third-party suppliers and co-packers, including the risk that any failure by one or more of the Company’s third-party suppliers or co-packers to comply with food safety or other laws and regulations may disrupt the Company’s supply of raw materials or certain finished goods products or injure the Company’s reputation.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management to measure operating performance. A non‑GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of the Company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for cash and non‑cash acquisition/divestiture‑related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up, and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets); gains and losses on extinguishment of debt; impairment of assets held for sale; impairment of intangible assets; and non-recurring expenses, gains and losses. |
|
|
|
Management believes that it is useful to eliminate these items because it allows management to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations. The Company uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in the Company’s business operations to, among other things, evaluate the Company’s operating performance, develop budgets and measure the Company’s performance against those budgets, determine employee bonuses and evaluate the Company’s cash flows in terms of cash needs. The Company also presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes they are useful indicators of the Company’s historical debt capacity and ability to service debt and because covenants in the Company’s credit agreement, the Company’s senior secured notes indenture and the Company’s senior notes indenture contain ratios based on these measures. As a result, reports used by internal management during monthly operating reviews feature the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA metrics. However, management uses these metrics in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance and liquidity measures as part of its overall assessment of the Company’s operating performance, cash needs and ability to service debt, and therefore does not place undue reliance on these measures. |
|
|
|
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or any other GAAP measure as indicators of operating performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of cash flows in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of liquidity determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the Company’s cash requirements for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, income taxes or dividends. Rather, management believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may provide useful information regarding the Company’s ability to fund these cash requirements. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not complete measures of the Company’s profitability because they do not include certain costs and expenses and gains and losses described above. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. However, management believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA can be useful in evaluating the Company’s performance relative to peer companies because these measures provide users with additional insight into key components of the Company’s results determined in accordance with GAAP. |

During the third quarter of 2026, upon the redemption of the Company’s 5.25% senior notes due 2027, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million (or $0.9 million, net of tax). |
|
|
|
Net interest expense for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025 was reduced by $0.5 million (or $0.4 million, net of tax) and $2.3 million (or $1.7 million, net of tax), respectively, as a result of gains on extinguishment of debt related to the Company’s repurchases of $20.0 million and $40.7 million aggregate principal amount, respectively, of its 5.25% senior notes due 2027 in open market purchases during the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025 at discounted repurchase prices, which resulted in pre-tax gains of $0.8 million and $2.9 million, partially offset by the accelerated amortization of deferred debt financing costs of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, described in footnote (3) below. |
|
(3) |
|
Net interest expense for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025 includes the accelerated amortization of deferred debt financing costs of $0.3 million (or $0.2 million, net of tax) and $0.6 million (or $0.4 million, net of tax), respectively, resulting from the Company’s repurchases of 5.25% senior notes due 2027 described in footnote (2) above. |
|
(4) |
|
Debt financing costs of less than $0.1 million for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025 reflect the portion of debt financing costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s senior secured credit facility that is included in net interest expense for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025. |
|
(5) |
|
Acquisition/divestiture-related and non-recurring expenses primarily include acquisition, integration and divestiture-related expenses for prior and potential future acquisitions and divestitures, and non-recurring expenses, including separation expenses primarily relating to the retirement during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 of the Company’s former chief executive officer and workforce reductions in fiscal 2025 and 2026, other organizational restructuring expenses, and amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up. |
|
(6) |
|
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $40.7 million (or $30.7 million, net of tax) related to indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets for the B&M and Joan of Arc brands in connection with the Company’s divestiture of those brands. |
|
|
|
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $26.0 million (or $19.6 million, net of tax) related to indefinite-lived intangible trademark assets for the Victoria and McCann’s brands. |
|
(7) |
|
The Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $0.2 million (or $0.1 million, net of tax) and $3.0 million (or $2.3 million, net of tax) related to property, plant and equipment during the first three quarters of 2026 and the first three quarters of 2025, respectively. |
|
(8) |
|
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a loss on sale of assets of $36.3 million (or $27.4 million, net of tax), primarily related to the sale of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business. |
|
|
|
During the first three quarters of 2025, the Company recognized a net gain on sale of assets of $2.9 million (or $2.1 million, net of tax), which includes a gain on sale of $15.5 million (or $11.6 million, net of tax) for the Le Sueur U.S. divestiture during the third quarter of 2025 and a loss on sale of $12.6 million (or $9.5 million, net of tax) for the Don Pepino divestiture during the second quarter of 2025. |
|
(9) |
|
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.8 million (or $1.4 million, net of tax) related to the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale. The gain resulted from a change in the estimated fair value of the Green Giant Canada assets held for sale less the estimated cost to sell those assets. Assets held for sale are remeasured quarterly. |
|
|
|
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company reclassified $75.6 million of inventories, $6.3 million of indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets and $3.1 million of finite-lived customer relationship intangible assets related to Green Giant Canada within the Frozen & Vegetables business unit to assets held for sale as of the end of the third quarter of 2025. The Company then measured the assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less the estimated costs to sell, and recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $27.8 million (or $21.0 million, net of tax) during the third quarter of 2025. |
|
(10) |
|
The Company recorded losses on sales and disposals of property, plant and equipment of $0.1 million and $5.7 million (or $4.3 million, net of tax) during the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026, respectively, and $0.1 million and $1.0 million (or $0.8 million, net of tax) during the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025, respectively. |
|
(11) |
|
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management to measure operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share as net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain items that affect comparability. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments to net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share to eliminate the items identified in the reconciliation above. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management. Because the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of these items, management does not consider these items when evaluating the Company’s performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources. |
|
(12) |
|
During the first three quarters of 2026, the Company recorded a net discrete tax expense of $12.0 million, primarily related to Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) adjustments and stock-based compensation, partially offset by tax benefits related to a return-to-provision adjustment in Mexico and miscellaneous tax true-ups. |
|
|
|
During the first three quarters of 2025, the Company recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $1.3 million, primarily related to a pre-transition loss under Section 987 of the IRC, representing the cumulative unrecognized foreign exchange loss related to its primary operating subsidiary in Canada, partially offset by tax expense related to stock-based compensation and rate changes. |
|
(13) |
|
Represents the tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments listed above, assuming a tax rate of approximately 24.5%. |
|
(14) |
|
The Company was in a net loss position for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026 and the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025, therefore there are no potentially dilutive share-based compensation awards included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for those periods, as their effect would have been antidilutive. However, given that the adjustments described above resulted in adjusted net income for those periods, the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive share-based compensation awards is being included in the calculation of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding and, therefore, in the calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share for those periods. |

Base business net sales is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to measure operating performance. The Company defines base business net sales as the Company’s net sales excluding (1) the net sales of acquisitions until the net sales from such acquisitions are included in both comparable periods, (2) net sales of discontinued or divested brands, and (3) net sales from the Company’s Green Giant U.S. frozen co-manufacturing agreement until the net sales from the co-manufacturing agreement are included in both comparable periods. The portion of current period net sales attributable to recent acquisitions for which there is no corresponding period in the comparable period of the prior year is excluded. For each acquisition, the excluded period starts at the beginning of the most recent fiscal period being compared and ends on the first anniversary of the acquisition date. For discontinued or divested brands, the entire amount of net sales is excluded from each fiscal period being compared. The Company has included this financial measure because management believes it provides useful and comparable trend information regarding the results of the Company’s business without the effect of the timing of acquisitions and the effect of discontinued or divested brands. |
|

|
For the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026, reflects net sales from the College Inn and Kitchen Basics acquisition, for which there is no comparable period of net sales during the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025. The College Inn and Kitchen Basics acquisition was completed on March 19, 2026. |
|
(3) |
|
For the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026, reflects net sales of the Green Giant U.S. frozen vegetable brand through the date of the divestiture. For the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025, reflects net sales of the Green Giant U.S. frozen vegetable brand, which was divested on March 2, 2026, and net sales of the Le Sueur U.S. shelf-stable vegetable brand, which was divested on August 1, 2025. For the first three quarters of 2025, also reflects net sales of the Don Pepino and Sclafani brands, which were divested on May 23, 2025. |
|
(4) |
|
For the third quarter and first three quarters of 2026, reflects net sales of the Company’s co-manufacturing agreement with the acquirer of the Green Giant U.S. frozen business pursuant to which the Company is continuing to produce for the acquirer certain Green Giant frozen vegetable products at its frozen vegetable manufacturing facility in Irapuato, Mexico, which was not included as part of the Green Giant U.S. frozen divestiture and for which there is no comparable period of net sales during the third quarter and first three quarters of 2025. |
