The Hershey Company’s 2025 results show higher sales but sharply lower profits as cost pressures hit margins. Net sales rose 4.4% to $11,692.6 million, driven mainly by North America Confectionery and Salty Snacks, while International sales were roughly flat.
Cost of sales jumped 31.7% to $7,769.9 million, cutting gross margin from 47.3% to 33.5%, largely reflecting higher commodities and unfavorable mark-to-market activity on commodity derivatives. Operating profit fell 50.3% to $1,441.5 million, and net income declined 60.2% to $883.3 million, or $4.34 per diluted share.
North America Salty Snacks continued to grow, with net sales up and segment income improving, supported by acquisitions including LesserEvil and prior popcorn deals. Hershey returned cash to shareholders with $1,085.3 million in dividends and maintained an authorized $500 million share repurchase program, of which about $470 million remained available.
