SJM--
Key highlights from the earnings report include:
- Net Loss per Diluted Share: The company reported a net loss per diluted share of $0.41, a decrease of 22 percent compared to the prior year.
- Adjusted Earnings per Share: Adjusted earnings per share was $1.90, a decrease of 22 percent.
- Cash Flow: Cash used for operating activities was $10.6 million, compared to $172.9 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was ($94.9) million, compared to $49.2 million in the prior year.
The company attributed the decrease in net sales to the divestiture of certain Sweet Baked Snacks value brands and the Voortman® business. Despite these divestitures, comparable net sales increased by 2 percent, driven by higher net price realization for coffee, partially offset by lower net pricing for peanut butter.
The company's full-year fiscal 2026 financial outlook has been updated. Net sales are now expected to increase by 3.0 to 5.0 percent, compared to the previous guidance of 2.0 to 4.0 percent. Adjusted earnings per share are expected to range from $8.50 to $9.50, while free cash flow is expected to be approximately $975.0 million at the midpoint of the adjusted earnings per share guidance range.
The company's Chief Executive Officer, Mark Smucker, noted that the results reflect strong top-line growth driven by consumer demand for the company's portfolio of leading brands and disciplined cost management. He also mentioned that the company is focused on investing in key growth platforms to deliver long-term growth and increase shareholder value.
