Key Data in the Financial Report

2. Production issues with soup products directly affected revenue, and supply chain problems also plagued the company's cookie and cracker business.

3. Overall food consumption is affected by inflation pressure and rising raw material costs, and a decrease in consumer spending further suppresses sales.

4. Treehouse Foods' pricing strategy is being adjusted to cope with cost pressures, although the company has made progress in the private brand sector, competition with national brands remains fierce.

5. Treehouse Foods adopted a market strategy adjustment in 2024, focusing on the expansion of snacks and beverage sectors and acquiring some pickling brands to enhance market share.

Industry Comparison

1. Overall industry analysis: The overall change in operating revenue of the food industry is affected by fluctuations in raw material prices and changes in market demand. The overall market performance is weak, and Treehouse Foods' challenges may reflect the general situation of the industry.

2. Peer evaluation analysis: Compared with other companies in the same industry, the decrease in Treehouse Foods' total operating revenue year-on-year may indicate a decline in its competitiveness. If other companies maintain revenue growth at the same time, Treehouse Foods' performance will be even more unsatisfactory.

The company's challenges in soup production and supply chain management are particularly prominent, which together led to the decline in operating revenue.
