CEO Comments:

"Fourth quarter and fiscal 2026 results reflect top-line softness and inflation-driven margin headwinds,” said Mick Beekhuizen, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance is not where it needs to be, and we are taking decisive action to improve it. We are increasing our focus on the consumer, sharpening execution, reducing costs to support investment in our brands, and strengthening our balance sheet, including resetting our dividend. We enter fiscal 2027 with leading brands including Campbell's, Rao's, Goldfish and Pepperidge Farm, a resilient Meals & Beverages division benefiting from durable at-home cooking trends, and actions underway to strengthen Snacks. The steps we are taking are designed to improve growth, expand margins, reduce leverage, and position Campbell's for sustainable long-term value creation."

Fourth Quarter Results

The additional week in the prior fiscal year's fourth quarter was an estimated 7% impact to net sales, 8% to adjusted EBIT and 7% to adjusted EPS ($0.06 per share).

Net sales decreased 8% to $2.1 billion, including an estimated 7-point impact from the extra week in the prior year period. Organic net sales decreased 1% driven primarily by lower volume/mix.

Gross profit decreased 17% to $583 million. Gross profit margin decreased 310 basis points to 27.3%. Adjusted gross profit decreased 14% to $611 million. Adjusted gross profit margin decreased 190 basis points to 28.6%, driven primarily by cost inflation and other supply chain costs inclusive of the impact from tariffs, partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements.

Marketing and selling expenses decreased 7% to $188 million. Adjusted marketing and selling expenses decreased 6% to $186 million primarily driven by lower marketing spending.

Administrative expenses decreased 5% to $164 million. Adjusted administrative expenses decreased 3% to $153 million mainly driven by cost savings initiatives.

Other expenses were $147 million, including the impact of a $117 million combined impairment on the Cape Cod and Kettle Brand trademarks, compared to $29 million in the prior year. Adjusted other expenses were $4 million compared to $7 million in the prior year.

EBIT decreased to $4 million from $269 million. Adjusted EBIT decreased 25% to $242 million primarily due to lower adjusted gross profit.

Net interest expense of $83 million was down modestly versus prior year. Adjusted net interest expense decreased to $81 million. The effective tax rate was 26.6%, while the adjusted effective tax rate increased to 23.6% from 21.6% primarily as a result of a favorable impact from state tax law changes in the prior year.

EPS decreased to a loss of $0.23 per share from earnings of $0.48 per share. Adjusted EPS decreased 37% to $0.39 per share reflecting lower adjusted EBIT.

Full-Year 2026 Results

The additional week in the prior fiscal year was an estimated 2% impact to net sales, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS ($0.06 per share).

Net sales decreased 5% to $9.7 billion, including an estimated 2-point impact from the extra week in the prior year period. Organic net sales decreased 2% to $9.7 billion primarily driven by unfavorable volume/mix.

EBIT decreased to $852 million from $1.1 billion. Adjusted EBIT decreased 21% to $1.2 billion primarily due to gross margin declines as a result of cost inflation and higher other supply chain costs inclusive of the impact from tariffs, which were only partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements and cost savings.

Net interest expense decreased modestly to $323 million from $328 million. Adjusted net interest expense was $321 million in the current year. The effective tax rate was 23.4% compared to 24.4%, and the adjusted effective tax rate was 23.8% compared to 23.0%.

EPS decreased to $1.31 per share compared to $2.01 per share. Adjusted EPS decreased 27% to $2.17 per share primarily reflecting lower adjusted EBIT.

Cash Flow and Shareholder Return

Cash flow from operations for the full fiscal year ended August 2, 2026 was $1.0 billion, compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year. For the fiscal year, capital expenditures were $361 million, compared to $426 million, while the company returned $496 million to shareholders, primarily through cash dividends.

Resetting Dividend

To help accelerate the path to reducing debt on the company's balance sheet, the company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend payment of $0.25 per share, or $1.00 on an annualized basis, a reduction of 36% from the prior quarterly dividend payment of $0.39 per share, or $1.56 on an annualized basis. The quarterly dividend is payable on November 2, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 1, 2026.

Announcing New Enterprise-Wide Cost Savings Program Targeting $500 Million by Fiscal 2030

In the fourth quarter, Campbell's delivered approximately $25 million in savings, bringing total cost savings achieved to approximately $225 million pursuant to the company's prior $375 million savings program.

Beginning in fiscal 2027, Campbell's is launching a new program targeting total cost savings of $500 million by fiscal 2030, which will further accelerate our work to protect our margins and support higher investment levels. This new program will include initiatives remaining under the prior program, the overhead savings initiative announced during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, and an enterprise spend optimization plan which will transform how the company manages and deploys its direct and indirect spending. Several actions are already underway, including plant closures and recently completed workforce reductions.

Full-Year Fiscal 2027 Guidance:

The company's outlook reflects an external environment which we expect will remain volatile, another year of elevated inflation, and several longer-term benefits that are expected to build through the year to increasingly support our margins. The acquisition of La Regina is expected to contribute a modest benefit to net sales and be neutral to adjusted EPS.

This guidance includes the company's current understanding of government policy and tariffs, and does not assume any impacts from new tariffs or changes to existing tariff rates.

The company's full-year fiscal 2027 guidance ranges are set forth in the table below:

($ in millions, except per share)			FY26 Results			FY27 Guidance
Net Sales			$9,744			(4)% to (2)%
Organic Net Sales Growth1						(4)% to (2)%
Adjusted EBIT*			$1,181			(12)% to (7)%
Adjusted EPS*			$2.17			(24)% to (17)%
						$1.65 to $1.80

1 Excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, currency or an extra week, when applicable.

* Adjusted - refer to the detailed reconciliation of the reported (GAAP) financial information to the adjusted financial information at the end of this news release.

Note: A non-GAAP reconciliation is not provided for fiscal 2027 guidance as the company is unable to reasonably estimate the full-year financial impact of items such as actuarial gains or losses on pension and postretirement plans because these impacts are dependent on future changes in market conditions. The inability to predict the amount and timing of these future items makes a detailed reconciliation of these forward-looking financial measures impracticable.

Key assumptions supporting our guidance can be found in the accompanying prepared remarks and investor presentation available at https://investor.thecampbellscompany.com/events-presentations.

1 Reflects the loss of net sales associated with the divestitures of the Pop Secret popcorn business, which was completed on August 26, 2024, and the noosa yoghurt business, which was completed on February 24, 2025, and the contribution to net sales from the acquisition of La Regina, which was completed on May 4, 2026.
Note: A detailed reconciliation of the reported (GAAP) net sales to organic net sales is included at the end of this news release.

Meals & Beverages

Net sales decreased 4% in the quarter. Organic net sales increased 3%, driven by favorable volume/mix of 3%. Organic net sales growth included an estimated 2-point tailwind as a result of the prior year SAP enterprise-resource planning system implementation for Sovos Brands. Sales of U.S. soup decreased 8% driven primarily by lapping the extra week in the prior year period.

Operating earnings decreased 12% in the quarter, primarily due to lower gross profit primarily as a result of cost inflation and other supply chain costs, as well as unfavorable volume/mix, which were partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements and benefits from cost savings initiatives.

Snacks

Net sales decreased 12% in the quarter. Organic net sales decreased 6%, primarily driven by unfavorable volume/mix of 6%, with 1% net price realization. Organic net sales declines were driven primarily by our salty portfolio and sales attributable to third-party partner brands and contract manufacturing.

Operating earnings decreased 34% in the quarter, primarily due to lower gross profit primarily as a result of unfavorable volume/mix, as well as cost inflation and other supply chain costs, which were partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements.

Corporate

Corporate expense was $226 million in the quarter compared to $83 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to impairment charges in the current year.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Fiscal Year Ended August 2, 2026

The Campbell's Company (the "company") uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in certain communications. These non-GAAP financial measures are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures. Management believes that also presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of the company's historical operating results and trends in its underlying operating results, and provides transparency on how the company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Management considers quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of the company’s performance and trends in its underlying operating results. The adjustments on earnings may include but are not limited to items such as: unusual or non-recurring gains or charges; costs associated with cost savings and optimization initiatives; actuarial and curtailment gains or losses on pension and postretirement plans; unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on outstanding undesignated commodity hedges; gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt; gains or losses on divestitures; costs associated with acquisitions; accretion on deferred consideration and redeemable noncontrolling interests; impairment charges or accelerated amortization; certain litigation expenses or recoveries; and costs or recoveries related to a cybersecurity incident. Depending upon facts or circumstances, management may change these adjustments. When these adjustments change, the company will provide updated definitions of its non-GAAP financial measures. When items no longer impact the company’s current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, the company will remove these items from its non-GAAP definitions.

Organic Net Sales

Organic net sales are net sales excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions, divestitures and the additional week in fiscal 2025. Management believes that excluding these items, which are not part of the ongoing business, improves the comparability of year-to-year results. A reconciliation of net sales as reported to organic net sales follows.

Items Impacting Earnings

Adjusted Net earnings are net earnings excluding the impact of costs associated with cost savings and optimization initiatives, unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on outstanding undesignated commodity hedges, costs associated with acquisitions, accretion on deferred consideration, certain litigation expenses or recoveries, actuarial and curtailment gains or losses on pension and postretirement plans, impairment charges, costs or recoveries related to a cybersecurity incident, accelerated amortization, and gains or losses on divestitures.

Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to The Campbell's Company common shareholders - Diluted

The company believes that financial information excluding certain items that are not considered to reflect ongoing earnings per share results improves the comparability of year-to-year results. Accretion of the La Regina redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value is an adjustment to determine net earnings attributable to The Campbell's Company common shareholders for diluted earnings per share. Additionally, as noted in (4) in Items Impacting Earnings, the company recognized a liability at fair value for the deferred consideration on the acquisition of La Regina that will be paid on May 4, 2027. The deferred consideration will be payable at the company’s discretion in either cash or shares of its capital stock. The company will recognize changes in fair value to accrete the liability to the total payment due on May 4, 2027. As the deferred consideration may be settled in shares, unrecognized accretion on the deferred consideration is an adjustment to determine net earnings attributable to The Campbell's Company common shareholders for diluted earnings per share and the denominator will include the incremental shares that would be assumed to satisfy the payment. Consequently, the company believes that investors may be able to better understand its diluted earnings per share results excluding the accretion of the redeemable noncontrolling interests and the recognized and unrecognized accretion on the deferred consideration in the net earnings attributable to The Campbell's Company common shareholders. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the company recognized accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $5 million ($.02 per share), accretion of the deferred consideration of $2 million ($1 million after tax) and had unrecognized accretion of $4 million after tax ($.01 per share). The adjustments to diluted earnings per share are below:

Key Terms

earnings before interest and taxes financial

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is a company's profit from its core operations after subtracting operating costs like salaries and rent but before deducting interest payments and income taxes. It matters to investors because it isolates operating performance—like measuring a store’s earnings from sales before loan payments and taxes—making it easier to compare profitability across companies with different financing or tax situations.

organic net sales financial

Organic net sales represent the revenue generated from a company's core business activities, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestments, or currency changes. It shows how well the company is growing through its existing products and services, similar to tracking how a plant grows from its own roots rather than by adding new plants. Investors use this measure to assess the true growth and health of a company's ongoing operations.

basis points financial

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

non-gaap reconciliation financial

Non-GAAP reconciliation is a side-by-side calculation that shows how a company’s standardized financial results (prepared under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) are adjusted to produce alternative figures the company reports that exclude certain items. It matters to investors because it reveals what was removed or added and lets readers compare the official numbers to the company’s preferred metric — like seeing a map that translates between two measurement systems so you know how they relate.
