Conagra Brands (NYSE: CAG) has updated its fiscal 2025 outlook due to customer service interruptions and foreign exchange headwinds. The company is experiencing supply constraints in two key product platforms: frozen meals containing chicken and frozen vegetables.
The updated guidance includes: organic net sales growth of approximately -2.0% (vs. previous -1.5% to flat), adjusted operating margin of ~14.4% (vs. previous 14.8%), adjusted EPS of ~$2.35 (vs. previous $2.45-$2.50), and net leverage ratio of ~3.55x (vs. previous 3.4x).
Manufacturing challenges at the primary chicken facility led to temporary production stops and slower restart pace. Strong demand in frozen vegetables nearly doubled through December and early January, depleting inventory and leading to product allocation and reduced merchandising through March 2025. The company is investing in increased surge capacity and facility upgrades, with completion expected by Q1 fiscal 2026.
