Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation furnished an investor overview for its upcoming earnings call, highlighting mixed fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results. For Q4 2025, net revenue was 4,517.8 versus 4,372.0 in Q4 2024, but net income fell to 87.9 from 235.8 and EPS declined to 0.37 from 0.99. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to 415.1 from 525.7, and the adjusted EBITDA margin narrowed to 9.2% from 12.0%.
For the full year 2025, net sales rose to 18,497.6 from 17,878.3, while net income was 1,083.3 compared with 1,087.2 and Adjusted EBITDA improved slightly to 2,268.4 from 2,213.9. U.S. results were pressured by weaker commodity pricing in the Big Bird business despite growth with key retail and foodservice customers. Europe showed continued profit improvement from cost reduction and efficiency initiatives, while Mexico’s profitability declined due to supply and demand dynamics and higher imported proteins. SG&A was lower mainly from reduced legal settlements and defense costs, and net interest expense increased due to lower interest income after dividends paid in 2025.
Pilgrim’s Pride reported 2025 net sales of $18.5 billion, up 3.5% from 2024, with a GAAP operating margin of 8.7%. GAAP net income was $1.1 billion, or $4.54 per share, while adjusted net income reached $1.23 billion and adjusted EPS $5.17. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.27 billion, a 12.3% margin.
Fourth-quarter net sales were $4.52 billion, up 3.3% year over year. GAAP EPS fell to $0.37 from $0.99, mainly reflecting sizable litigation and restructuring charges, while adjusted EPS was $0.64. The U.S. business outpaced industry growth in fresh chicken and delivered strong prepared foods performance, Europe improved sales and profitability, and Mexico grew sales but saw weaker margins.
The company returned $2 billion in cash to shareholders through special dividends and ended the year with a net leverage ratio below 1.1x adjusted EBITDA. Management highlighted continued diversification into branded products, ongoing efficiency gains in Europe, investments in Mexico, and progress on emissions and social sustainability metrics.
