Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. reports on its position as a leading global producer, distributor, and marketer of value-added frozen potato products, primarily french fries, serving customers in more than 100 countries through North America and International segments.
The company operates 25 production facilities and, as of May 31, 2026, has operations in 32 countries. As of July 17, 2026 it had 137,481,011 shares of common stock outstanding, and the aggregate market value of voting common stock held by non‑affiliates was approximately $8.0 billion as of November 21, 2025.
Customer concentration is significant: the ten largest customers represented about 50% of net sales in fiscal 2026, with McDonald’s accounting for 15%, 15%, and 14% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024. About 35% of net sales came from outside the U.S. in fiscal 2026 and 2025. The company highlights key risks including commodity and logistics cost inflation, potato crop volatility, supply chain and export disruptions, geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, labor shortages and union negotiations, competitive pressure, international currency and trade exposure, cybersecurity and ERP‑system disruptions, and a substantial debt load of about $3.9 billion as of May 31, 2026.
Lamb Weston Holdings reported fiscal 2026 results with modest sales growth but lower profitability. Net sales for the year rose 2% to $6,612 million, exceeding the high end of guidance of $6,550 million, driven by 7% volume growth, favorable currency and a 53rd week.
Net income declined to $290 million and Adjusted EBITDA to $1,147 million, decreases of 19% and 9%, as lower price/mix, input cost inflation and higher selling, general and administrative expenses more than offset cost savings. Diluted EPS was $2.08, with adjusted diluted EPS of $3.01. North America net sales grew 3% to $4,395 million and segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 3% to $1,142 million, while International segment Adjusted EBITDA fell 55% to $115 million, including a $33.1 million potato write-off amid competitive pressure in EMEA.
Operating cash flow increased to $942.9 million and capital expenditures declined to $410.1 million as major growth projects wound down. The company returned $320.7 million to shareholders in fiscal 2026 and targets fiscal 2027 Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion, adjusted diluted EPS of $2.95 to $3.25, and net cash from operating activities of $750 million to $800 million.
