Segment Profitability
CONAGRA BRANDS INC. · 2026-07-15 · Importance 67 · Surprise 66 · From source text
Segment operating profit for Refrigerated & Frozen declined 25.5% to $485.6 million in fiscal 2026 from $651.7 million in fiscal 2025. The decrease reflected a $133.6 million decline in gross profit driven by lower organic net sales, input cost inflation, unfavorable operating leverage, and reduced profit from the sale of the frozen fish business. The inclusion of the 53rd week and productivity actions provided partial offset, while SG&A increased, including $15.5 million higher advertising and promotion expense. Management also noted that fiscal 2025 results were negatively impacted by approximately $10 million related to temporary manufacturing disruptions in the Hebrew National® business.
