CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun. 4, 2025– The Campbell’s Company (NASDAQ:CPB ) today announced that Newsweek has named the company one of America’s Greatest Workplaces 2025.

“Our recipe for success is talented people, amazing brands and fantastic food,” said Mick Beekhuizen, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are committed to delivering for our people and creating a highly engaged culture to attract, grow and retain the best team in food.”

America’s Greatest Workplaces were identified by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group through a comprehensive assessment involving employee interviews, company reviews, publicly accessible data and an analysis of over 120 key performance indicators.

Campbell’s recently completed a $50 million investment in its Camden, NJ headquarters campus to provide more ways for employees to connect and collaborate. The project included:

The newly renovated space is complimented with best-in-class amenities, such as on-site day care, a café, complimentary health and fitness center and a variety of other services. The company also upgraded and modernized workspaces across its regional offices and manufacturing sites.

“Our strategy starts with building the Top Team. It’s our No. 1 priority as an organization because our people fuel our performance,” said Diane Johnson May, Campbell’s Chief People and Culture Officer. “This recognition supports the progress we have made in creating a workplace where employees are supported to build a rewarding career with opportunities to grow, lead, innovate, and reach their full potential.”

The company has made significant investments in leadership development to establish Campbell’s as a top destination to build a career and learn how to become a great leader. This includes structured leadership development programs for all levels of the organization and self-paced resources.

Campbell’s has long been recognized as a top workplace and destination for leadership development. Earlier this year, the company was recognized as one of TIME’s Best Companies for Future Leaders and one of Newsweek’s Greatest Workplaces for Gen Z.

Third Quarter Results
Net sales in the quarter increased 4% to $2.5 billion driven by the benefit from the Sovos Brands acquisition. Organic net sales increased 1% to $2.3 billion primarily driven by 2% favorable volume/mix, partially offset by planned unfavorable net price realization.

Gross profit decreased to $728 million from $732 million. Gross profit margin was 29.4% compared to 30.9%. Adjusted gross profit increased to $745 million from $740 million. Adjusted gross profit margin decreased 110 basis points to 30.1% mainly driven by cost inflation and other supply chain costs, unfavorable net price realization and the impact of the acquisition, partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements, the benefits from cost savings initiatives and volume/mix favorability.

Marketing and selling expenses, which represented approximately 9% of net sales, increased 5% to $216 million. Adjusted marketing and selling expenses increased 5% to $207 million primarily driven by the impact of the acquisition.

Administrative expenses decreased 22% to $162 million. Adjusted administrative expenses decreased 4% to $150 million mainly driven by the benefit from cost savings initiatives, partially offset by higher general administrative costs and inflation and the impact of the acquisition.

Other expenses were $160 million compared to $30 million, primarily driven by a non-cash impairment charge of $150 million related to the Snyder’s of Hanover trademark. Adjusted other expenses were $4 million compared to $8 million.

EBIT decreased to $161 million from $248 million primarily driven by the above-mentioned impairment charge. Adjusted EBIT increased 2% to $362 million primarily due to the contribution of the acquisition, partially offset by lower adjusted EBIT in the base business. The base business performance was primarily driven by lower adjusted gross profit partially offset by lower adjusted administrative expenses and adjusted other expenses.

Net interest expense increased to $80 million from $66 million, primarily due to higher levels of debt and higher average interest rates on the debt portfolio. Adjusted net interest expense was $64 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate decreased to 18.5% compared to 26.9% and the adjusted effective tax rate was 22.7% compared to 22.8%.

EPS decreased to $0.22 per share compared to $0.44 per share. Adjusted EPS decreased 3% to $0.73 per share primarily reflecting higher adjusted net interest expense partially offset by the increase in adjusted EBIT. The acquisition was accretive to adjusted earnings per share.

Cash Flow and Shareholder Return
Cash flow from operations for the nine months ending April 27, 2025 was $872 million compared to $897 million in the prior year primarily due to changes in working capital. Capital expenditures year-to-date were $296 million compared to $376 million. In line with Campbell’s commitment to return value to its shareholders, the company has paid $343 million of cash dividends and repurchased common stock of approximately $60 million year-to-date. As of the end of the third quarter, the company had approximately $200 million remaining under its anti-dilutive share repurchase program in addition to approximately $301 million remaining under its September 2021 strategic share repurchase program.

Cost Savings Program
As of the end of the third quarter, Campbell’s has delivered approximately $110 million of savings under the $250 million cost savings program announced in September 2024.

Full-Year Fiscal 2025 Guidance:
Based on the company’s year-to-date performance, Campbell’s is reaffirming its full-year fiscal 2025 guidance provided on March 5, 2025, excluding the impact of tariffs. Adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS are now expected to be at the low end of the guidance range due to the slower than anticipated recovery in the Snacks business.

The current tariff situation is fluid in light of recent legal challenges; however, assuming the current tariff actions remain in place, the company estimates the net headwind of higher tariff-related costs could be up to an incremental of $0.03 to $0.05 per share to fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS. This is not factored into the company’s fiscal 2025 guidance as the tariff and trade environments are rapidly evolving.

Fiscal 2025 comprises 53 weeks, one additional week compared to fiscal 2024. The benefit of the 53rd week is included in the company’s fiscal 2025 guidance (with the exception of organic net sales which exclude the 53rd week) and is estimated to be worth approximately 2 points of growth to reported net sales and adjusted EBIT, along with approximately $0.05 of adjusted EPS.

Other additional guidance assumptions can be found in the accompanying investor presentation available at https://investor.thecampbellscompany.com/events-presentations.

Organic net sales exclude acquisitions, divestitures, currency and the 53rd week in fiscal 2025. FY 2025 guidance excludes the net impact of higher tariff-related costs.

 

* Adjusted – refer to the detailed reconciliation of the reported (GAAP) financial information to the adjusted financial information at the end of this news release.

 

Note: A non-GAAP reconciliation is not provided for fiscal 2025 guidance as the company is unable to reasonably estimate the full-year financial impact of items such as actuarial gains or losses on pension and postretirement plans because these impacts are dependent on future changes in market conditions. The inability to predict the amount and timing of these future items makes a detailed reconciliation of these forward-looking financial measures impracticable.

1 Reflects the incremental net sales associated with the Sovos Brands acquisition, which was completed on March 12, 2024, and the loss of net sales associated with the divestitures of the Pop Secret popcorn business, which was completed on August 26, 2024, and the noosa yoghurt business, which was completed on February 24, 2025.

Note: A detailed reconciliation of the reported (GAAP) net sales to organic net sales is included at the end of this news release.

Meals & Beverages
Net sales in the quarter increased 15% mainly driven by the benefit of the acquisition. Excluding the impact of the acquisition and noosa divestiture, organic net sales increased 6% driven by gains in U.S. soup, Rao’s pasta sauces and Canada, partially related to favorable shipment timing. Favorable volume/mix of 7% was partially offset by lower net price realization of 1%. Sales of U.S. soup increased due to increases in condensed soups, broth and ready-to-serve soups. Net sales of Rao’s pasta sauces increased primarily due to the timing of shipments related to the implementation of our existing SAP enterprise-resource planning system for Sovos Brands.

Operating earnings in the quarter increased 8% primarily due to the benefit of the acquisition, partially offset by a decline in the base business.

Snacks
Net sales in the quarter decreased 8%. Excluding the impact of the Pop Secret divestiture, organic net sales decreased 5% driven primarily by declines in Goldfish crackers, third-party partner and contract brands, Snyder’s of Hanover pretzels, Late July snacks and Lance sandwich crackers. Sales were impacted by volume/mix declines of 5% and neutral net price realization.

Operating earnings in the quarter decreased 13% primarily due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower administrative expenses.

Corporate
Corporate expense was $226 million in the quarter compared to $135 million. The increase was primarily due to a non-cash impairment charge on the Snyder’s of Hanover trademark and unrealized mark-to-market losses on outstanding undesignated commodity hedges compared to gains in the prior year, partially offset by costs associated with the acquisition in the prior year.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Third Quarter Ended April 27, 2025

The Campbell’s Company (the “company”) uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in certain communications. These non-GAAP financial measures are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures. Management believes that also presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of the company’s historical operating results and trends in its underlying operating results, and provides transparency on how the company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. Management considers quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of the company’s performance and trends in its underlying operating results. The adjustments on earnings may include but are not limited to items such as: unusual or non-recurring gains or charges; costs associated with cost savings and optimization initiatives; actuarial gains or losses on pension and postretirement plans; unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on outstanding undesignated commodity hedges; gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt; gains or losses on divestitures; costs associated with acquisitions; impairment charges or accelerated amortization; certain litigation expenses or recoveries; and costs or recoveries related to a cybersecurity incident. Depending upon facts or circumstances, management may change these adjustments. When these adjustments change, the company will provide updated definitions of its non-GAAP financial measures. When items no longer impact the company’s current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, the company will remove these items from its non-GAAP definitions.

Organic Net Sales
Organic net sales are net sales excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions, divestitures and the 53rd week in fiscal 2025. Management believes that excluding these items, which are not part of the ongoing business, improves the comparability of year-to-year results. A reconciliation of net sales as reported to organic net sales follows.

Items Impacting Earnings

Elizabeth Duggan Named President Snacks Division

Janda Lukin Named Chief Growth Officer

CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr. 15, 2025– The Campbell’s Company (NASDAQ:CPB) today announced senior management changes to accelerate progress against its strategic plan and drive continued growth.

Both will report to Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer Mick Beekhuizen and become members of the company’s Operating Committee and Corporate Officers.

Beekhuizen said, “Elizabeth and Janda have each played pivotal roles in transforming Campbell’s over the last several years. They are the right leaders to drive our strategy and take our performance to the next level. Elizabeth is a strong operator and culture builder with a track record of fostering winning teams. Her broad commercial and operational experience is well suited to unlock growth of our Snacks division. Janda brings a history of high performance at Campbell’s and elsewhere leading brand strategy, marketing, insights and innovation. She has the expertise and vision needed to accelerate our growth and deliver top-tier performance.”

Duggan Elevated to President Snacks

As President, Snacks, Duggan will oversee the long-term growth and margin expansion of the Snacks division, supported by its elevated portfolio of leadership brands, a strong innovation pipeline and an advantaged distribution network. Duggan will work closely with current Snacks President Chris Foley, on a smooth transition. Foley will remain with the company until July 2025.

Duggan joined Campbell’s in 2019 as Senior Vice President, Transformation Office, leading company strategy and driving company-wide transformation initiatives and business planning. In 2022, she was named Senior Vice President and General Manager of Campbell’s Canadian business. In that role, she has delivered top-tier results including significant revenue and earnings growth. Her team also led the successful launch of new products into the Canadian market including limited-edition Goldfish varieties and innovation like Kettle Brand Air Fried potato chips.

Prior to Campbell’s, Duggan worked at McKinsey & Company, focusing on global consumer goods and the retail sector. In addition, she was a Vice President, Operations at Home Chef, one of North America’s fastest-growing meal kit companies at the time, acquired by Kroger in 2018.

Mackenzie Davison, currently Vice President, Marketing – Canada will succeed Duggan as President of the Canadian business.

Lukin to Accelerate Growth in Newly Created Chief Growth Officer Role

In the new role of Chief Growth Officer, Lukin will lead enterprise-wide growth strategies, elevate key commercial capabilities and drive transformative growth through insights and analytics, enhanced consumer experience and activations, innovation, and revenue growth management.

Lukin is a proven business leader and growth-driven marketer with over 20 years of experience in the food industry. She joined the company in 2016 as Vice President, Marketing for Beverages and was then named Vice President of Marketing for Soup in 2018, where she led the successful strategy for returning soup to growth. She was appointed Chief Marketing Officer, Snacks in 2019. Under her leadership, the team elevated brand relevance through award-winning creative and breakthrough marketing. Lukin significantly increased the pace of innovation in Snacks, in part by launching a limited-edition model that delivered incremental growth and expanded consumer engagement across the Snacks portfolio, which includes the $1 billion brands Goldfish and Pepperidge Farm, in addition to Cape Cod, Kettle Brand, Lance, Late July, Snack Factory and Snyder’s of Hanover.

Prior to Campbell’s, Lukin spent 14 years with Mondelēz International where she led the Oreo and Chips Ahoy! business, the team that launched belVita breakfast in the U.S., and was the general manager for global ecommerce. Earlier in her career, Lukin held marketing roles at Kraft Foods.

Chris Foley Departs

Chris Foley, who served as President of Snacks since 2022, will leave the company after a 25-year career.

Beekhuizen said, “Chris has made tremendous contributions during his Campbell’s career, including successfully leading both divisions.

CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mar. 5, 2025– The Campbell’s Company (NASDAQ:CPB) today reported results for its second quarter fiscal 2025 ended January 26, 2025. Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are to the same period of fiscal 2024.

CEO Comments
Mick Beekhuizen, Campbell’s President and CEO, said “Second quarter earnings were in line with our expectations despite the dynamic operating environment. Given the softness in some of our snacking categories, the anticipated sequential top-line improvement did not materialize during the quarter, and we now have a more muted second half expectation. As a result, we are updating our full-year guidance. We remain confident in our ability to successfully navigate the current consumer landscape with our portfolio of advantaged leadership brands, talented team and track record of execution. We have a strong foundation to deliver long-term sustainable, profitable growth and shareholder returns.”

Second Quarter Results
Net sales in the quarter increased 9% to $2.7 billion driven by the benefit from the Sovos Brands acquisition (also referred to as the acquisition). Organic net sales decreased 2% to $2.4 billion driven by net price realization with flat volume/mix.

Gross profit increased to $819 million from $776 million. Gross profit margin was 30.5% compared to 31.6% and adjusted gross profit increased to $815 million from $772 million. Adjusted gross profit margin decreased 100 basis points to 30.4% mainly driven by cost inflation and other supply chain costs, unfavorable net price realization and the impact of the acquisition, partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements and the benefits from cost savings initiatives.

Marketing and selling expenses, which represented approximately 10% of net sales, increased 18% to $256 million. Adjusted marketing and selling expenses increased 18% to $255 million, primarily driven by the impact of the acquisition and higher advertising and consumer promotion expense in the base business.

Administrative expenses decreased 13% to $165 million. Adjusted administrative expenses decreased 2% to $156 million driven by the benefit from cost savings initiatives, partially offset by the impact of the acquisition.

Other expenses were $41 million compared to $26 million. Adjusted other expenses were $8 million compared to $9 million.

EBIT increased to $327 million from $317 million. Adjusted EBIT increased 2% to $372 million primarily due to the contribution of the acquisition, partially offset by lower adjusted EBIT in the base business. The base business performance was primarily driven by lower adjusted gross profit and higher adjusted marketing and selling expenses partially offset by lower adjusted administrative expenses.

Net interest expense was $80 million compared to $46 million, primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to higher levels of debt. The effective tax rate was 30.0% compared to 25.1% and the adjusted effective tax rate was 24.0% compared to 24.5%.

EPS decreased to $0.58 per share compared to $0.68 per share. Adjusted EPS decreased 8% to $0.74 per share primarily reflecting higher net interest expense, partially offset by the increase in adjusted EBIT. The acquisition was slightly accretive to adjusted earnings per share.

Cash Flow and Shareholder Return
Cash flow from operations for the six months ended January 26, 2025 was $737 million compared to $684 million primarily due to higher cash earnings and changes in working capital. Capital expenditures year-to-date were $211 million compared to $263 million. In line with Campbell’s commitment to return value to its shareholders, the company has paid $227 million of cash dividends and repurchased common stock of approximately $56 million year-to-date. As of the end of the second quarter, the company had approximately $205 million remaining under its anti-dilutive share repurchase program in addition to approximately $301 million remaining under its September 2021 strategic share repurchase program.

Cost Savings Program
Through the second quarter, Campbell’s has delivered approximately $65 million of savings under the $250 million cost savings program announced in September 2024.

Updated Full-Year Fiscal 2025 Guidance:
Based on year-to-date performance and the ongoing dynamic consumer environment, Campbell’s is updating its full-year fiscal 2025 guidance. In addition, the company’s updated guidance reflects the sale of the noosa yoghurt business, which was divested on February 24, 2025, and is estimated to have an impact of approximately 1 percentage point on net sales and an estimated $0.01 dilutive impact to adjusted EPS.

The company is updating its full-year fiscal 2025 financial outlook as follows:

The company’s guidance does not reflect any impact from potential import tariffs by the U.S. government and potential retaliatory actions taken by other countries, given the tariff and trade environments are uncertain and rapidly evolving.

Consistent with prior guidance, the benefit of the 53rd week is included in the company’s fiscal 2025 guidance (with the exception of organic net sales which exclude the 53rd week) and is estimated to be worth approximately 2 points of growth to reported net sales and adjusted EBIT, along with approximately $0.07 of adjusted EPS.

Other additional guidance assumptions can be found in the accompanying investor presentation available at https://investor.thecampbellscompany.com/events-presentations.

Prior guidance reflects Sovos Brands which was acquired on March 12, 2024, the divestiture of the Pop Secret popcorn business which was sold on August 26, 2024 and the impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2025. Updated guidance also reflects the divestiture of the noosa yoghurt business which was sold on February 24, 2025. Organic net sales exclude acquisitions, divestitures, currency and the 53rd week in fiscal 2025.

* Adjusted – refer to the detailed reconciliation of the reported (GAAP) financial information to the adjusted financial information at the end of this news release.

Note: A non-GAAP reconciliation is not provided for fiscal 2025 guidance as the company is unable to reasonably estimate the full-year financial impact of items such as actuarial gains or losses on pension and postretirement plans because these impacts are dependent on future changes in market conditions. The inability to predict the amount and timing of these future items makes a detailed reconciliation of these forward-looking financial measures impracticable.

1 Reflects the incremental net sales associated with the Sovos Brands acquisition, which was completed on March 12, 2024, and the loss of net sales associated with the divestiture of the Pop Secret popcorn business, which was completed on August 26, 2024.

Note: A detailed reconciliation of the reported (GAAP) net sales to organic net sales is included at the end of this news release.

Meals & Beverages
Net sales in the quarter increased 21% driven by the benefit of the acquisition. Excluding the acquisition, organic net sales decreased 1% driven by declines in SpaghettiOs and U.S. soup, partially offset by gains in foodservice. Lower net price realization of 2% was partially offset by favorable volume/mix of 1%. Sales of U.S. soup decreased primarily due to decreases in ready-to-serve soups and condensed soups, partially offset by an increase in broth.

Operating earnings in the quarter increased 18%. The increase was primarily due to the benefit of the acquisition, partially offset by higher marketing and selling expenses.

Snacks
Net sales in the quarter decreased 6%. Excluding the impact of the Pop Secret divestiture, organic net sales decreased 3% driven by declines in third-party partner and contract brands, Goldfish crackers and Snyder’s of Hanover pretzels. Sales were impacted by volume/mix declines of 2% and lower net price realization of 1%.

Operating earnings in the quarter decreased 29% primarily due to lower gross profit and higher marketing and selling expenses. Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to the impact of cost inflation and other supply chain costs, lower net price realization and unfavorable volume/mix, partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements and the benefits from cost savings initiatives.

Corporate
Corporate expense was $73 million in the quarter compared to $89 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs associated with cost savings and optimization initiatives, costs associated with the acquisition in the prior year, lower administrative expenses and higher unrealized mark-to-market gains on outstanding undesignated commodity hedges, partially offset by non-cash impairment charges.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Second Quarter Ended January 26, 2025

The Campbell’s Company (the “company”) uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in certain communications. These non-GAAP financial measures are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures. Management believes that also presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of the company’s historical operating results and trends in its underlying operating results, and provides transparency on how the company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. Management considers quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of the company’s performance and trends in its underlying operating results. The adjustments on earnings may include but are not limited to items such as: unusual or non-recurring gains or charges; costs associated with cost savings and optimization initiatives; actuarial gains or losses on pension and postretirement plans; unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on outstanding undesignated commodity hedges; gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt; gains or losses on divestitures; costs associated with acquisitions; impairment charges or accelerated amortization; certain litigation expenses or recoveries; and costs or recoveries related to a cybersecurity incident. Depending upon facts or circumstances, management may change these adjustments. When these adjustments change, the company will provide updated definitions of its non-GAAP financial measures. When items no longer impact the company’s current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, the company will remove these items from its non-GAAP definitions.

Organic Net Sales
Organic net sales are net sales excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions, divestitures and the 53rd week in fiscal 2025. Management believes that excluding these items, which are not part of the ongoing business, improves the comparability of year-to-year results. A reconciliation of net sales as reported to organic net sales follows.

Items Impacting Earnings
