Fiscal 2025 Outlook Update

The company has experienced customer service interruptions during the third quarter due to supply constraints on two product platforms: frozen meals containing chicken and frozen vegetables. In addition, foreign exchange rates are now expected to provide a further headwind to adjusted earnings per share.

As a result of these challenges, the company is making the following updates to its fiscal 2025 financial outlook1:

Metric Prior Fiscal 2025 Guidance Updated Fiscal 2025 Guidance
Organic Net Sales Growth (vs. FY24) Near the midpoint of (1.5)% to flat ~(2.0)%
Adjusted Operating Margin ~14.8% ~14.4%
Adjusted EPS $2.45 to $2.50 ~$2.35
Net Leverage Ratio ~3.4x ~3.55x

The company's expectations for capital expenditures, free cash flow conversion, interest expense, Ardent Mills' contribution, pension income, adjusted effective tax rate and inflation remain unchanged from our second quarter earnings materials. The company's updated guidance does not include any potential impacts from new tariffs. Conagra's long-term financial targets are unchanged.
