[10-Q] Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. reported its unaudited results for the 13 weeks ended August 24, 2025. The company saw volume growth and improved customer momentum, lower inventories, higher operating cash flow and reduced capital expenditures as capacity expansions near completion, including a new Argentina facility. It recorded restructuring and Cost Savings Program charges, including $31.9 million of pre-tax charges in the quarter and $187.6 million cumulatively since announcement, and expects $70–$100 million of pre-tax cash charges, mostly in fiscal 2026. Liquidity under the revolver was $1,318.4 million. The company repurchased 187,259 shares for $10.4 million and paid $51.7 million of dividends during the quarter. Legal proceedings include consolidated securities class actions and multiple antitrust suits; outcomes and potential losses are currently not estimable.

Positive

• Volume growth and positive customer momentum were reported for the quarter.
• Operating cash flow increased and inventories declined, improving working capital.
• Available liquidity of $1,318.4 million under the committed revolving credit facility.
• Share repurchase activity: 187,259 shares repurchased for $10.4 million; ~$348 million remaining authorization.
• Near-completion of capacity expansions with a new Argentina facility started in the quarter.

Negative

• Pre-tax restructuring and cost program charges: $31.9 million in the quarter and $187.6 million cumulatively; $70–$100 million expected in fiscal 2026.
• Expectations for earnings decline in fiscal 2026 due to pricing/mix pressures, higher input costs, incremental depreciation and start-up costs.
• Pension settlement charge of $13.1 million ($10.1 million after-tax, $0.07 per share) in the quarter.
• Ongoing litigation: consolidated securities class actions and multiple antitrust class actions with indeterminate outcomes and potential exposure.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Solid liquidity and operational improvements offset near-term charges; earnings pressured by pricing, mix and expansion costs.

The company demonstrates operational progress: volume growth, lower inventory, rising operating cash flow and near-completion of capacity investments that should support future volumes. Available liquidity of $1.318 billion and an active share repurchase program provide financial flexibility. However, fiscal 2026 earnings are expected to decline due to pricing/mix headwinds, higher input costs, incremental depreciation and start-up costs from Netherlands and Argentina expansions, only partially offset by restructuring savings. Pension settlement and restructuring charges reduce near-term reported earnings and cash in fiscal 2026.

Risk Analyst

TL;DR: Litigation and restructuring create meaningful near-term uncertainty and potential financial exposure.

Multiple consolidated securities class actions and several antitrust class actions in the U.S. and Canada create legal risk with indeterminate exposure; management currently cannot estimate potential losses. The company has recorded significant restructuring and Cost Savings Program charges and expects further pre-tax cash charges of $70–$100 million, indicating execution and integration risk. While management maintains that pending matters are not expected to be material, the preliminary stages of litigation and the magnitude of restructuring-related charges warrant close monitoring.

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Lamb Weston”) is a leading global producer, distributor, and marketer of value-added frozen potato products; headquartered in Eagle, Idaho. We have two reportable segments: North America and International. See Note 13, Segments, for additional information on our reportable segments.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements present the financial results of Lamb Weston and its consolidated subsidiaries for the thirteen weeks ended August 24, 2025 and August 25, 2024, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”).

These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements and consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The preparation of financial statements involves the use of estimates and accruals. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from those estimates. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for our full fiscal year, which ends the last Sunday in May.

These financial statements and related condensed notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 25, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”), where we include additional information on our critical accounting estimates, policies, and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates. We filed the Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 23, 2025.

Certain amounts from prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no financial impact on previously reported net income, cash flows, or stockholders' equity.

Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly around rate reconciliations and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance as of May 26, 2025, and will update disclosures within our fiscal 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires companies to provide more detailed information of certain income statement expenses within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 28, 2028, and for our quarterly reports beginning fiscal year 2029, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

There were no other accounting pronouncements recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods presented:

						Thirteen Weeks Ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)						August 24, 2025						August 25, 2024
Numerator:
Net income						$	64.3					$	127.4
Denominator:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding						139.5						143.6
Add: Dilutive effect of employee incentive plans (a)						0.3						0.6
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding						139.8						144.2
Earnings per share:
Basic						$	0.46					$	0.89
Diluted						$	0.46					$	0.88

___________________________________________

(a)Potential dilutive shares of common stock under employee incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and performance awards. As of August 24, 2025 and August 25, 2024, 1.7 million and 0.8 million, respectively, shares of stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would be antidilutive.

3. INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the periods presented were as follows:

						Thirteen Weeks Ended
(in millions)						August 24, 2025						August 25, 2024
Income before income taxes and equity method earnings						$	112.8					$	166.9
Equity method investment earnings (loss)						(0.6)						11.3
Income tax expense						47.9						50.8
Effective tax rate (a)						42.7%						28.5%

___________________________________________

(a)The effective income tax rate is calculated as the ratio of income tax expense to pre-tax income, inclusive of equity method investment earnings. The effective tax rate varies from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% principally due to the impact of U.S. state taxes, foreign taxes and currency, permanent differences, and discrete items.

Compared to the thirteen weeks ended August 25, 2024, the effective tax rate is higher primarily due to having a larger proportion of losses in certain jurisdictions with no expected tax benefits. In addition, the thirteen weeks ended August 24, 2025 included $10.2 million of discrete tax expense, primarily related to the establishment of a full valuation allowance against certain international deferred tax assets.

Income Taxes Paid

Income taxes paid, net of refunds, were $9.7 million and $6.0 million during the thirteen weeks ended August 24, 2025 and August 25, 2024, respectively.

4. RESTRUCTURING

Restructuring expense includes charges from the Cost Savings Program, and the Company’s restructuring plan announced on October 1, 2024 (the “Restructuring Plan”, collectively referred to as the “Plans”).

We expect to recognize total pre-tax cash charges of $70 million to $100 million, most of which will be paid in fiscal 2026, related to the Cost Savings Program. The charges in the first fiscal quarter of 2026 largely relate to professional service fees and employee severance and other one-time termination benefits related to headcount reductions. In connection with the Restructuring Plan, we have recognized $187.6 million of pre-tax charges since it was announced. We do not expect any future costs in connection with the Restructuring Plan at this time.

For the thirteen weeks ended August 24, 2025, we recorded $31.9 million of pre-tax charges related to the Plans, all of which were cash charges.

(in millions)						Thirteen Weeks Ended August 24, 2025
Expenses related to: (a)						Restructuring Plan						Cost Savings Program						Total
Accelerated depreciation, retirement of assets, and other plant charges (b)						$	1.8					$	—					$	1.8
Employee-related costs (c)						—						8.1						8.1
Professional services and other						—						22.0						22.0
						$	1.8					$	30.1					$	31.9

___________________________________________

(a)These charges were included in Cost of sales and Restructuring expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings. They are included as “unallocated corporate costs” before being reconciled in the Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Net income table in Note 13, Segments, of these Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(b)In the thirteen weeks ended August 24, 2025, all expenses relate to plant charges.

(c)Includes employee severance and other one-time termination benefits related to reductions in headcount under the Cost Savings Program.

Accruals remaining under the Plans are recorded as current liabilities within “Accounts payable” and “Accrued liabilities” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at August 24, 2025. The following is a roll-forward of restructuring activity:

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair values of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration.

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall:

						As of August 24, 2025
(in millions)						Level 1						Level 2						Level 3						Fair Value of Assets (Liabilities)
Derivative assets (a)						$	—					$	16.2					$	—					$	16.2
Derivative liabilities (a)						—						(6.4)						—						(6.4)
Deferred compensation liabilities (b)						—						(29.5)						—						(29.5)
Fair value, net						$	—					$	(19.7)					$	—					$	(19.7)

						As of May 25, 2025
(in millions)						Level 1						Level 2						Level 3						Fair Value of Assets (Liabilities)
Derivative assets (a)						$	—					$	10.2					$	—					$	10.2
Derivative liabilities (a)						—						(7.0)						—						(7.0)
Deferred compensation liabilities (b)						—						(27.0)						—						(27.0)
Fair value, net						$	—					$	(23.8)					$	—					$	(23.8)

___________________________________________

(a)Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent commodity swaps, option contracts, interest rate swap and currency contracts. The fair value of these derivatives were determined using valuation models that use market observable inputs including both forward and spot prices. Derivative assets are presented within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and derivative liabilities are presented within “Accrued liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(b)The fair values of our Level 2 deferred compensation liabilities were valued using third-party valuations, which are based on the net asset values of mutual funds in our retirement plans. While the underlying assets are actively traded on an exchange, the funds are not. Deferred compensation liabilities are primarily presented within “Other noncurrent liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of August 24, 2025, we had $2,966.3 million of fixed-rate and $1,012.7 million of variable-rate debt outstanding. Based on current market rates, the fair value of our fixed-rate debt was estimated to be $2,888 million as of August 24, 2025. Any differences between the book value and fair value are due to the difference between the period-end market interest rate and the stated rate of our fixed-rate debt. The fair value of our variable-rate term debt approximates the carrying amount and approximates current market prices.

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a program, with no expiration date, to repurchase up to $750.0 million of our common stock. During the thirteen weeks ended August 24, 2025, we repurchased 187,259 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10.4 million, or a weighted-average price of $55.34 per share. As of August 24, 2025, approximately $348 million remained authorized for repurchase under our share repurchase program.

Dividends

During the thirteen weeks ended August 24, 2025, we paid $51.7 million of cash dividends to our common stockholders. In addition, on August 29, 2025, we paid $51.6 million of cash dividends to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2025. On September 25, 2025, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per

14

Table of Contents

share of our common stock. This dividend will be paid on November 28, 2025, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2025.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes, as of August 24, 2025 were as follows:

(in millions)						Foreign Currency Translation Gain (Loss)						Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits						Other						Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Balance as of May 25, 2025						$	58.9					$	(4.6)					$	0.2					$	54.5
Other comprehensive income before reclassifications, net of tax						41.3						5.3						—						46.6
Net current-period other comprehensive income						41.3						5.3						—						46.6
Balance as of August 24, 2025						$	100.2					$	0.7					$	0.2					$	101.1

13. SEGMENTS

We manage operations in two business segments, North America and International. As a result of how we manage the business, we have two operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment: North America and International. North America includes activity that occurs in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. International includes all activity that does not occur within the North America segment. Both segments primarily manufacture frozen potato products for sale to our customers. These reportable segments are each managed by a general manager and supported by a cross functional team assigned to support the segment.

Our president and chief executive officer is our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). The CODM assesses the performance of our reportable segments and decides how to allocate resources based on segment adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). The adjustments to EBITDA include unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains and losses (which are a component of both cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses), foreign currency exchange gains and losses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), blue chip swap transaction gains (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), stock-based compensation (which is a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), and other items impacting comparability (which are a component of both cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) that are described below (“Segment Adjusted EBITDA”).

Net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA inform operating decisions, performance assessment, and resource allocation decisions at the segment level. Our CODM uses net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the annual operating plan and forecasting process and considers actual versus plan variances in assessing the performance of each segment. Total asset information by segment is not regularly provided to our CODM or utilized for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources by segment and, as a result, such information has not been presented below.

14. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We have financial commitments and obligations that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These include long-term debt, lease obligations, and purchase commitments for goods and services. There have been no material changes to the commitments, contingencies, and guarantees disclosed in Note 14, Commitments, Contingencies, Guarantees, and Legal Proceedings, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Form 10-K.

Legal Proceedings

In June 2024, two putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho against the Company and certain of our current and former executive officers alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The lawsuits were consolidated in November 2024. The amended consolidated complaint alleges the defendants made misrepresentations and omissions regarding the design and implementation of our enterprise resource planning system and the Company’s pricing practices. The complaint asserts claims on behalf of a proposed class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between July 25, 2023 and December 19, 2024. On April 25, 2025, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. Briefing is complete but no hearing date has been set. In June 2025, a purported Company stockholder filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint (nominally on behalf of the Company) against certain of our current and former directors and officers, alleging violations of the federal securities laws and breach of fiduciary duty stemming from the same or similar purported misrepresentations and omissions regarding the design and implementation of our enterprise resource planning system as the putative class actions. The derivative lawsuit has been stayed pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the securities class action. We believe the lawsuits lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter or estimate the range of potential loss, if any, that may result.

In November 2024, a class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, certain of our subsidiaries and a number of other producers of frozen potato products alleging violations of antitrust laws. Additional class action complaints were later filed in the same court, based on similar allegations, bringing antitrust claims on behalf of putative classes of direct purchasers, commercial and institutional indirect purchasers, and end-consumer indirect purchasers. Some complaints name a data provider and a trade association as defendants, in addition to producers of frozen potato products. The complaints allege, among other things, that beginning at least as early as January 1, 2021, the defendants conspired to raise the price of frozen potato products above competitive levels in violation of U.S. antitrust laws by coordinating prices of frozen potato products and imposing lockstep price increases, allegedly facilitated by the exchange of non-public information about prices and production. The complaints on behalf of the putative classes of indirect purchasers also assert claims under various state laws, including state antitrust laws, unfair competition laws, consumer protection statutes, and common law unjust enrichment. The relief sought in the complaints includes treble damages, injunctive relief, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. The complaints for each putative class have been ordered to be consolidated and amended. Class actions based on similar allegations have also been filed in Canada, in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Superior Court of Quebec. We believe these complaints lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations. Given the preliminary stage of the proceedings, we are currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter or estimate the range of potential loss, if any, that may result.

We are also a party to various other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. These claims, legal proceedings and litigation principally arise from alleged casualty, product liability, employment, and other disputes. In determining loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recognized when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. While any claim, proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, we believe the outcome of any of these that are pending or threatened will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Table of Contents

This MD&A is provided as a supplement to the consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes included elsewhere herein to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of our operations. Our MD&A is based on financial data derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We have also presented Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”), and Adjusted Income Tax Expense, each of which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure, to supplement the financial information included in this report. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted Income Tax Expense and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, net income, gross profit, SG&A, or income tax expense, as applicable. For more information, refer to the “Results of Operations” and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” sections below.

Executive Summary

During the quarter, we saw volume growth and positive customer momentum. While the operating environment remains competitive, we believe our disciplined execution and strategic plans are better enabling us to expand our customer base and drive long-term growth. We are focused on executional excellence, including delivering our Cost Savings Program. Actions taken over the past two fiscal years have improved our manufacturing costs per pound and lowered SG&A. We are focused on strengthening customer partnerships and innovating across our business.

Our operational improvements also drove favorable working capital changes, primarily from lower inventories. Operating cash flow and cash on hand increased at the end of the period, and capital expenditures declined as we near completion of our growth-related investments in our production facilities, with the startup of a new production facility in Argentina during the first quarter.

Outlook

In fiscal 2026, we anticipate that global consumers will continue to face macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures, alongside a competitive environment, particularly in our international markets. We expect global restaurant traffic to remain roughly in line with fiscal 2025 levels. We believe customers and consumers will continue to prioritize french fries both on menus and at home. Momentum from customer wins in the second half of fiscal 2025 and the contribution of a 53rd week in fiscal 2026, with the additional week falling in the fourth quarter, is expected to drive increased sales volumes.

We expect earnings will decline as they are pressured by the impact of pricing and mix, higher overall input costs, net of the benefit of lower raw potato costs, incremental depreciation and start-up costs from the capacity expansions in the Netherlands and Argentina, and increased compensation and benefits as incentive programs normalize. These factors will only be partially offset by benefits from the Restructuring Plan and Cost Savings Program.

Our outlook includes our current view of the anticipated impact of enacted tariffs by the U.S. and other governments but does not include the potential effects of evolving trade policies, including future changes in tariffs or retaliatory countermeasures.

Results of Operations

Thirteen Weeks Ended August 24, 2025 compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended August 25, 2024

Net Sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA

						Thirteen Weeks Ended
(in millions, except percentages)						August 24, 2025						August 25, 2024						% Increase (Decrease)						% Increase (Decrease) at Constant Currency
Segment net sales
North America						$	1,084.6					$	1,103.7					(2)%						(2)%

North America						$	260.0					$	278.0					(6)%						(6)%
International						57.2						51.4						11%						4%

Net Sales

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $5.2 million to $1,659.3 million compared to the prior year quarter, including a favorable foreign currency impact of $23.7 million. Net sales at constant currency declined 1% over the prior year quarter, as a 6% increase in volume was more than offset by a 7% decline in price/mix. Net sales and price/mix at constant currency are calculated by translating financial data for the current year period at prior year average exchange rates. Volume growth was driven by customer wins and retention, particularly in North America and Asia, as well as lapping an approximately $15 million charge in the prior year quarter related to a voluntary product withdrawal. Price/mix reflects the carryover impact of fiscal 2025 price and trade investments to support customers, ongoing price and trade support, and unfavorable channel product mix within our segments.

North America segment net sales, which includes all sales to customers in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, declined $19.1 million, or 2%, to $1,084.6 million. Volume increased 5% compared to the prior year quarter supported by recent customer contract wins and growth across channels. Price/mix declined 7%, driven by the carryover impact from fiscal 2025 price investments, the ongoing support of customers through price and trade and an unfavorable channel mix.

International segment net sales, which includes all sales to customers outside of North America, increased $24.3 million, or 4%, to $574.7 million year-over-year, including a favorable $24.5 million from foreign currency translation. Net sales at constant currency was flat. Volume increased 6%, led primarily by growth in Asia and with multinational chain customers. Price/mix at constant currency declined 6%, driven by investments to support customers as well as ongoing price and trade support.

Gross Profit

Gross profit declined $13.6 million versus the prior year quarter to $342.4 million. Adjusted Gross Profit declined $14.2 million versus the prior year quarter to $338.9 million due primarily to unfavorable price/mix. Unfavorable price/mix was partially offset by higher sales volumes, lower manufacturing costs per pound driven by cost savings initiatives, and the benefit of lapping an approximately $39 million charge in the prior year related to a voluntary product withdrawal.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A increased $9.7 million versus the prior year quarter to $153.6 million. Adjusted SG&A declined $24.0 million versus the prior year quarter to $132.4 million, reflecting the benefits of ongoing cost savings initiatives and $7.3 million of miscellaneous income primarily from an insurance recovery and property tax refunds.

Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA

Net income declined $63.1 million from the prior year quarter to $64.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.8 million versus the prior year quarter to $302.2 million. Lower Adjusted SG&A was partially offset by lower Adjusted Gross Profit and Equity Method Investment Earnings (Loss).

North America Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased $18.0 million to $260.0 million. The decline primarily reflects price and trade investments in support of customers, partially offset by higher sales volumes, lower manufacturing costs per pound and Adjusted SG&A, which included the benefit of cost savings initiatives. Results also benefited from lapping an approximately $21 million charge related to a voluntary product withdrawal in the prior year.

International Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $5.8 million to $57.2 million. For the quarter ended August 24, 2025, the effects of foreign currency translation to the International Segment Adjusted EBITDA were favorable by approximately $4 million. The increase was driven by higher sales volumes and lower manufacturing costs per pound. The improvement primarily reflects lapping an approximately $18 million charge related to the prior year’s voluntary product withdrawal, lower potato prices and benefits from ongoing cost savings initiatives. These benefits were partially offset by $3.5 million in start-up costs associated with the new production facility in Argentina, which is expected to support future growth.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net declined $1.5 million, versus the prior year quarter, to $43.7 million, reflecting the impact of lower total debt outstanding primarily driven by lower borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was $47.9 million and $50.8 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate (calculated as the ratio of income tax expense to pre-tax income, inclusive of equity method investment earnings) was 42.7% and 28.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The results in both periods reflect the impact of items outlined in “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we also recorded $10.2 million of discrete tax expense, primarily related to the establishment of a non-cash full valuation allowance against certain international deferred tax assets. Excluding the impact of these items, the Company’s effective tax rate was 30.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, versus 30.8% in the prior year quarter.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. We currently anticipate a favorable cash tax timing benefit of approximately $35 million to $45 million in fiscal 2026 as of result of OBBBA; it is not expected to have a significant impact on our effective tax rate.

Equity Method Investment Earnings (Loss)

Equity method investment earnings (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures were a loss of $0.6 million and earnings of $11.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decline in earnings was primarily the result of lower net sales and an unfavorable product mix. The results for the current and prior year quarters reflect earnings associated with our 50% interest in Lamb Weston/RDO Frozen, an unconsolidated potato processing joint venture in Minnesota.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

As of August 24, 2025, we had $98.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, with $1,318.4 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our business requirements for at least the next 12 months. Cash generated by operations, supplemented by our cash and cash equivalents and availability under our revolving credit facility, are our primary sources of liquidity for funding our business requirements. Our funding requirements include capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and shareholder returns, including cash dividends and repurchases under our share repurchase program.

Cash Flows

Below is a summary table of our cash flows, followed by a discussion of the sources and uses of cash through operating, investing, and financing activities:

						Thirteen Weeks Ended
(in millions)						August 24, 2025						August 25, 2024
Net cash flows provided by (used for):
Operating activities						$	352.0					$	330.2
Investing activities						(76.3)						(335.6)
Financing activities						(248.5)						52.2
						27.2						46.8

Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period						70.7						71.4
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period						$	98.6					$	120.8

Operating Activities

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, cash provided by operating activities increased $21.8 million to $352.0 million. The increase largely relates to $18.7 million of favorable changes in working capital, led by lower North America finished goods inventories, compared to the last day of the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Investing Activities

Investing activities used $76.3 million of cash in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared with $335.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 primarily related to our investments to expand our french fry capacity in Argentina and other production facility modernization efforts. Expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily related to our investments to expand our french fry capacity in the Netherlands, the U.S., and Argentina. The expansion in the U.S. was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the expansion in the Netherlands was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, and the expansion in Argentina was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Financing Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we made net payments of $161.9 million under our revolving credit facilities. We used $18.7 million of cash to repurchase 187,259 shares of our common stock at an average price of $55.34 per share and to withhold 157,665 shares from employees to cover income and payroll taxes on equity awards that vested during the period. In addition, we paid $51.7 million in cash dividends to common stockholders during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and repaid $16.2 million of debt and financing obligations.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we had net proceeds of $203.6 million under our revolving credit facility which were primarily used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, funding capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We used $92.2 million of cash to repurchase 1,412,852 shares of our common stock at an average price of $58.04 per share and withheld 178,941 shares from employees to cover income and payroll taxes on equity awards that vested during the period. In addition, we paid $51.7 million in cash dividends to common stockholders and repaid $10.2 million of debt and financing obligations.

For more information about our debt, see Note 10, Debt and Financing Obligations, of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report and Note 8, Debt and Financing Obligations, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Form 10-K. At August 24, 2025, we were in compliance with the financial covenant ratios and other covenants contained in our debt agreements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial information included in this report, we have presented Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, and net sales, price/mix and Segment Adjusted EBITDA at constant currency, each of which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Net sales, price/mix and Segment Adjusted EBITDA growth at constant currency provide information on the percentage change in net sales, price/mix and Segment Adjusted EBITDA growth, respectively, as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained constant between the prior and current periods. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in analyzing what management views as our core operating performance for purposes of business decision making. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful supplemental information because they (i) provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding impacts of foreign currency exchange translation and unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains and losses and other items affecting comparability between periods, (ii) permit investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our core operating performance across periods, and (iii) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating our financial results. In addition, we believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and the reconciliations to those GAAP financial measures, provides investors with additional tools to understand the factors and trends affecting our underlying business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report should be viewed in addition to, and not as alternatives for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP that are also presented in this report. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net income, gross profit, SG&A, income tax expense, net sales, or other measures prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. For example, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures the same way we do.

As we operate globally, we are primarily exposed to currency exchange rate, commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Due to these limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks, including that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of August 24, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended August 24, 2025, and determined that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 24, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
