Insights

Conagra reports declining sales, profits, and provides weak 2026 guidance amid persistent inflation and supply challenges.

Conagra Brands reported a challenging Q4 with organic net sales declining 3.5% and adjusted EPS falling 8.2% to $0.56. The sales decline resulted from both reduced volume (-2.5%) and negative price/mix (-1.0%), indicating both pricing and demand challenges. The company's adjusted operating margin contracted significantly to 13.8% from 15.6% in the prior year.

For the full fiscal year 2025, performance was even more concerning with organic sales down 2.9% and adjusted EPS declining 13.9% to $2.30. Gross margin compression was substantial, with adjusted gross margin falling 194 basis points to 25.7%, as inflation outpaced productivity improvements.

The most troubling aspect is Conagra's fiscal 2026 guidance, which signals continued deterioration. The company projects organic sales between -1% and +1%, with adjusted operating margin declining sharply to 11.0-11.5% (down from 14.1% in fiscal 2025). Most concerning is the adjusted EPS guidance of $1.70-$1.85, representing a 24-26% decline from fiscal 2025's $2.30.

This substantial profit decline is largely attributed to persistent inflation, with Conagra expecting 7% cost inflation in fiscal 2026 - including 4% core inflation plus 3% from tariff impacts. The company plans mitigating actions through cost savings, sourcing alternatives, and pricing, but clearly expects these measures to fall short of offsetting inflationary pressures.

While Conagra maintained its $1.40 annual dividend (currently yielding about 5%), the projected EPS decline raises questions about dividend sustainability, as the payout ratio would increase to roughly 80% of earnings under the new guidance.

The company did achieve $1.3 billion in free cash flow for fiscal 2025 and reduced net debt by 4.4% to $8 billion, bringing leverage to 3.6x. However, for fiscal 2026, management expects the leverage ratio to deteriorate to approximately 3.85x as earnings decline.

Segment performance was universally weak, with Grocery & Snacks organic sales down 3.3%, Refrigerated & Frozen down 4.4%, and Foodservice down 4.3%. Only the smaller International segment showed slight organic growth of 0.8%.

CEO Perspective
Sean Connolly, president and chief executive officer of Conagra Brands, commented, "I'm proud of the Conagra team for their hard work throughout fiscal 2025 as we navigated an environment that proved to be more challenging than we anticipated. We entered the year focused on returning volume to growth and delivered consistent progress through the first half. This resulted in a return to absolute volume growth in domestic retail in the second quarter, best-in-class market share performance, and first half EPS in line with our plan. While the second half was impacted by higher than expected inflation, foreign exchange headwinds, and supply constraints, our long-term value creation strategy remains unchanged."

He continued, "In fiscal 2026, we expect elevated inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty to persist but remain focused on proactively managing the business by investing in our high-potential frozen and snacks domains, prioritizing volume strength, and further enhancing supply chain resiliency while continuing disciplined cost management and focus on cash flow. We believe that these actions will enable Conagra to deliver sustainable growth and stronger margins over time, creating meaningful long-term value for our stakeholders."

Outlook
The company is providing the following guidance for fiscal 2026:

  • Organic net sales growth of (1)% to 1% compared to fiscal 2025
  • Adjusted operating margin between ~11.0% and ~11.5%
  • Adjusted EPS between $1.70 and $1.85
  • Interest expense of approximately $400MM
  • Equity earnings contribution of approximately $200MM
  • Adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 23%
  • Pension income of approximately $25MM
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $450MM
  • Free cash flow conversion of ~90%
  • Net leverage ratio of approximately 3.85x
  • The 53rd week is expected to add $0.05 to adjusted EPS

The company also expects cost of goods sold inflation to continue at an elevated level into fiscal 2026. Guidance anticipates core inflation to be approximately 4%. In addition, the company expects an impact to fiscal 2026 from previously announced U.S. tariffs. While the tariff situation remains fluid, guidance contemplates a 50% tariff rate on imported tin plate steel and aluminum, a 30% rate on limited imports from China, and a 10% reciprocal rate on imports from certain other countries. Combined, these tariffs are expected to increase cost of goods sold by approximately 3% annually, prior to mitigating actions including accelerated cost savings initiatives, sourcing alternatives, and targeted pricing actions. Taken together, the company expects total cost of goods sold inflation of approximately 7%.

The inability to predict the amount and timing of the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, and other items impacting comparability makes a detailed reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures impracticable. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of these items, which could be material to future results. Please see the end of this release for more information.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS, organic net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating profit, adjusted SG&A, adjusted corporate expenses, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net income attributable to Conagra Brands, free cash flow, net debt, net leverage ratio, and adjusted EBITDA. Management considers GAAP financial measures as well as such non-GAAP financial information in its evaluation of the company's financial statements. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors to facilitate year-over-year comparisons by removing non-recurring items and other items impacting comparability such as the impacts of foreign exchange, divested businesses and acquisitions, as well as the impact of any 53rd week, as noted in more detail for each measure below. We also believe the below financial measures are used by investors and analysts to assess the company's operating performance and financial position. These measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the company's diluted earnings per share, operating performance and financial measures as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Organic net sales excludes, from reported net sales, the impacts of foreign exchange, divested businesses and acquisitions, as well as the impact of any 53rd week to provide a more transparent view of year-over-year comparability. All references to changes in volume and price/mix throughout this release are on an organic net sales basis.

Free cash flow is net cash from operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow conversion is free cash flow divided by adjusted net income attributable to Conagra Brands, Inc. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to provide additional information about the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases after all of the company's business needs and obligations are met.

References to adjusted items throughout this release refer to measures computed in accordance with GAAP less the impact of items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability are income or expenses (and related tax impacts) that management believes have had, or are likely to have, a significant impact on the earnings of the applicable business segment or on the total corporation for the period in which the item is recognized, and are not indicative of the company's core operating results. We exclude these items that we believe affect comparability of underlying results from period to period and may obscure trends in our underlying profitability.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we revised our calculation methodology for Adjusted SG&A to include advertising and promotional (A&P) expense. Prior-year periods have been recast to reflect this new calculation methodology. Please refer to the tables in this press release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measures using the updated calculation method to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP which include information about A&P expense in the footnotes.

References to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) refer to net income attributable to Conagra Brands before the impacts of discontinued operations, income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation, and amortization. For adjusted EBITDA, we exclude items resulting from infrequently occurring events or items that we believe significantly affect the year-to-year assessment of the company's operating results.

Hedge gains and losses are generally aggregated, and net amounts are reclassified from unallocated corporate expense to the operating segments when the underlying commodity or foreign currency being hedged is expensed in segment cost of goods sold. The net change in the derivative gains (losses) included in unallocated corporate expense during the period is reflected as a comparability item, Corporate hedging derivate gains (losses). Since our hedging contracts are generally for future periods, this adjustment facilitates year-over-year comparisons of cost of goods sold, matching the derivative gains and losses with the underlying economic exposure being hedged for the period.

Note on Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our fiscal 2026 guidance includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EPS, net leverage ratio, and adjusted effective tax rate) that are presented on a forward-looking basis. Historically, the company has calculated these non-GAAP financial measures excluding the impact of certain items such as, but not limited to, foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring expenses, the extinguishment of debt, hedging gains and losses, impairment charges, legacy legal contingencies, and unusual tax items. Reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided because the company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort, due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the timing and financial impact of such items. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

1 Includes advertising and promotion (A&P) expense of $62.1 million and $72.8 million for Q4 FY25 and Q4 FY24, respectively. A&P as a percentage of net sales was 2.2% and 2.5% for Q4 FY25 and Q4 FY24, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we revised our calculation methodology for Adjusted SG&A to include advertising and promotional (A&P) expense. Prior-year periods have been recast to reflect this new calculation methodology.


2In Q4 FY24, we reported a GAAP net loss. In periods when we recognize a net loss, we exclude the impact of outstanding stock awards from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. The adjusted diluted earnings per share calculation includes the impact of outstanding stock awards.
