Q4 FY26 earnings call · Jul 24, 2026

Q4 FY26

TL;DR. Lamb Weston delivered FY26 net sales of $6,612M and adjusted EBITDA of $1,147M, both exceeding the high end of guidance, but full-year adjusted EBITDA still fell 9% year-over-year as International segment EBITDA plunged 55%. For FY27, the company guided to flat-to-up 1% net sales and adjusted EBITDA of $1.1B–$1.2B, while announcing a Dutch plant closure and an ongoing strategic review of its international footprint.

Bullish

+ North America delivered six consecutive quarters of volume growth with Q4 segment adjusted EBITDA up 17% to $305M
+ Cost savings program exceeded its $100M year-one milestone, with a target of at least $250M annualized run-rate by FY28
+ Free cash flow jumped to $537M as capex fell more than $240M year-over-year
+ Company returned $321M to shareholders and declared a $0.38 quarterly dividend
+ FY27 adjusted EPS guided to $2.95–$3.25 vs. $2.90 52-week comparable, with earnings expected to grow faster than sales

Bearish

− Q4 inflation ran higher than expected, with substantial increases in edible oils and transportation, carrying into Q1 FY27
− FY27 guidance points to flat-to-up 1% net sales and International revenue down low single digits, with Q1 EBITDA expected to decline in the low teens
− Company is closing a Dutch facility representing about 10% of EMEA production capacity amid regional overcapacity
