Net sales were $383.3M for the quarter and $792.2M year-to-date, down from $424.4M and $849.8M a year earlier, as the Green Giant U.S. frozen business sale reduced Frozen & Vegetables revenue.
The company posted a quarterly net loss of $4.0M and a year-to-date net loss of $36.5M, versus a $8.9M loss in the prior-year period, driven in part by a $36.2M pre-tax loss on the Green Giant U.S. frozen divestiture.

Cash rose to $591.6M, largely from financing.

B&G Foods, Inc. reported second quarter 2026 net sales of $383.3 million, down 9.7% from $424.4 million a year earlier, mainly due to divestitures of the Green Giant U.S. frozen, Le Sueur U.S. and Don Pepino businesses, partially offset by new co-manufacturing revenue and the College Inn and Kitchen Basics acquisition. Base business net sales declined 2.9% to $346.3 million.
The company posted a Q2 net loss of $4.0 million (loss of $0.05 per diluted share) versus a $9.8 million loss last year, while adjusted net income rose to $4.9 million and adjusted diluted EPS to $0.06. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $60.4 million, with margin expanding to 15.8% from 13.7%, helped by portfolio mix shifts, lower SG&A and tariff refunds, partly offset by higher interest expense tied to new 11.00% senior notes due 2031 and a $36.3 million year‑to‑date loss on asset sales.
Segment performance was mixed: Frozen & Vegetables net sales fell sharply on U.S. divestitures but adjusted EBITDA improved; Spices & Flavor Solutions delivered strong adjusted EBITDA growth; Specialty weakened on higher Crisco oil costs and lower volumes. The company reaffirmed 2026 guidance, including net sales of $1.735–$1.775 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $275.0–$290.0 million, and expects these figures to reflect recent portfolio changes and one fewer reporting week.
