Q3 FY26 earnings call · Aug 7, 2026
Q3 FY26

TL;DR. Post narrowed fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to $1,560-$1,570 million and provided a preliminary fiscal 2027 outlook of roughly flat Adjusted EBITDA versus a comparable ~$1.48 billion base, while shifting capital allocation toward debt reduction amid rising refinancing rates and buying back 4% of shares in the quarter.

Bullish
  • + Post narrowed fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $1,560-$1,570 million (from $1,550-$1,580 million), maintaining the midpoint
  • + Repurchased 4% of outstanding shares in Q3 (2.1 million shares for $198.9 million) and 17% fiscal year-to-date
  • + Weetabix Q3 segment Adjusted EBITDA grew 13.7% to $37.3 million on 35.2% segment profit growth
  • + Foodservice nine-month segment Adjusted EBITDA up 17.1% year-over-year with management guiding to growth off $500M run rate in fiscal 2027
Bearish
  • Q3 net sales declined 1.8% to $1,948.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA fell 5.0% to $377.3 million
  • Q3 net earnings fell 41.7% to $63.4 million as operating profit declined 19.3%
  • Foodservice Q3 segment Adjusted EBITDA declined 11.4% as $500M run rate implies step-down from elevated prior-year avian-influenza pricing
  • Refrigerated Retail Q3 net sales fell 21.1% and segment Adjusted EBITDA dropped 41.3% after Crystal Farms divestiture
  • Pet food and value cereal volume declines in PCB; pet volumes fell 7.8% and cereal volumes fell 5.5%
  • Interest expense, net jumped to $108.2M in Q3 from $88.5M a year ago, driving management to favor debt reduction over buybacks
