“In Retail, flagship and rising brands such as SPAM, Applegate, Hormel Black Label, and Jennie-O grew volume while gaining share in their respective categories,” said Jim Snee, president and chief executive officer.

“We are pleased with the significant, sequential market recovery the Planters business delivered in the first quarter and expect continued improvements from the brand. However, as anticipated, the first quarter was pressured as we continued to recover from the snack nuts supply disruption and lapped a full year of whole bird turkey market compression,” said Snee. 

Hormel Foods exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $866.4 million, while long-term debt (less current maturities) contracted slightly to $2.850 billion.

Outlook: Hormel Foods reiterated FY25 revenue outlook between $11.9 billion and $12.2 billion, compared with the $12.08 billion estimate. The company expects adjusted EPS to range from $1.58 to $1.72, compared to the $1.64 estimate.

Price Action: HRL shares are trading higher by 1.01% to $29.02 premarket at last check Thursday.
