Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Delivered Q4 2025 results at the high end of guidance, with strong brand performance and efficiency initiatives, despite a challenging consumer environment and traditional loaf bread weakness.
Comprehensive, multi-year review of brand portfolio, supply chain, and financial strategy underway to reignite growth and expand margins.
Facing ongoing category challenges, inflationary pressures, and one fewer week in 2026, but planning additional investments in leading brands.
Simple Mills acquisition contributed to sales growth but resulted in net losses in Q4 and FY 2025.
Financial highlights
Q4 2025 net sales rose 11.0% year-over-year to $1.233B, aided by an extra week, Simple Mills acquisition, and improved price/mix, partially offset by volume declines.
Q4 net loss of $67.1M, down $110.2M from prior year, mainly due to a $136M non-cash intangible asset impairment, higher interest expense, and tax rate.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2025 increased 14.7% to $117.4M (9.5% margin); full-year adjusted EBITDA was $535.2M (10.2% margin).
FY 2025 cash from operations was $446.2M; capex $127.1M; dividends $209.3M; acquisition spend $791.9M.
Long-term debt increased to $1.76B from $1.02B year-over-year; net debt/adjusted EBITDA at 3.3x–3.75x, near covenant limits.
Outlook and guidance
Fiscal 2026 net sales guidance: $5.163B to $5.267B; adjusted EBITDA: $465M to $495M; adjusted diluted EPS: $0.80 to $0.90.
2026 guidance reflects ongoing category headwinds, inflation, loss of extra week, and continued promotional activity.
Dividend payout ratio projected to exceed 100% of 2026 EPS guidance.
No material financial impact expected from the upcoming Supreme Court case.
Anticipates refinancing $400M in debt at higher rates, but confident in execution.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
