Flowers Foods filed its annual report, highlighting its position as the second-largest packaged bakery company in the U.S. and detailing a year shaped by both strategic expansion and cost pressure. The company completed the acquisition of Simple Mills, a better-for-you snacking brand with estimated retail sales of $283 million in Fiscal 2025, broadening its presence beyond bread into higher-growth snack categories.
Management reports that inflation, higher labor costs, and softness in traditional fresh packaged bread weighed on results, even as brands like Nature’s Own, Dave’s Killer Bread, Canyon Bakehouse, Simple Mills and Wonder delivered strong retail sales. Flowers is pursuing a multi-year transformation, including a major ERP upgrade expected to cost about $325 million, with deployment continuing through 2027. The company is also rationalizing lower-margin products, closing less efficient bakeries, investing heavily in digital capabilities, and emphasizing higher-margin branded retail, which represented 65.9% of sales in Fiscal 2025.
The report underscores concentration risk with Walmart/Sam’s Club at 21.5% of sales, labor and supply-chain challenges, cybersecurity and AI-related risks, and growing legal and regulatory complexity, including around independent distributors and evolving environmental and labeling rules.
Flowers Foods, Inc. announced planned board changes at its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. After 61 years with the company, director George E.

Casey, Jr. also informed the board that he will not stand for re-election at the 2026 annual meeting and will continue to serve on board committees until then. The company stated that both directors’ decisions were not due to any disagreement with the board or the company. Following their departures, the board will be reduced from 11 to 9 members.

Flowers Foods reported mixed 2025 results with solid sales but sharply weaker profit and a soft 2026 outlook. Fiscal 2025 net sales rose 3.0% to $5.26 billion, but net income fell 66.2% to $83.8 million, mainly from a $136.0 million non-cash impairment of intangible assets. Adjusted net income declined 14.7% to $231.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA slipped 0.6% to $535.2 million, or 10.2% of sales. GAAP diluted EPS dropped to $0.40, while adjusted diluted EPS fell to $1.09.
In the fourth quarter, net sales increased 11.0% to $1.23 billion, but the company posted a net loss of $67.1 million due to the impairment. Adjusted EBITDA improved 14.7% to $117.4 million. The Simple Mills acquisition contributed $213.9 million of 2025 net sales and $32.0 million of adjusted EBITDA but generated a $14.4 million net loss.
Cash from operations rose to $446.2 million, funding $127.1 million of capex and $209.3 million of dividends, while long-term debt increased to $1.76 billion. For 52-week fiscal 2026, Flowers guides net sales of $5.16–$5.27 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $465–$495 million, and adjusted EPS of $0.80–$0.90, which is below 2025 levels, reflecting category headwinds and one fewer week of operations.
Flowers Foods filed an amended insider trading report for its Chief Human Resources Officer to correct previously reported share withholdings for taxes. On 01/05/2026, a total of 567 shares of common stock were disposed of at $10.32 per share, leaving 37,067 shares of common stock beneficially owned directly. A second line for that same date shows 663 shares disposed of at $10.32 per share, with 36,404 shares then beneficially owned directly.
The explanation states that the number of shares previously reported as being withheld for the payment of taxes was incorrect due to a payroll processing change, and this amendment updates the filing with the actual number of shares withheld.
