Current report

We operate in five reportable segments: Beef, Pork, Chicken, Prepared Foods and International. We measure segment profit as segment operating income (loss). Previously, International was a non-reportable segment and was presented within International/Other. Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, International was identified as a reportable segment.

Current report

Our President and Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") of the Company. Commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we no longer allocate corporate expenses and amortization to our segments as these items are no longer used by our CODM in assessing the performance of, and allocating resources to, the segments. Segment operating income (loss) is now defined as Operating Income (Loss) less corporate expenses and amortization to account for these changes. Corporate expenses are unallocated general and administrative costs, including the costs of corporate functions, that are shared across multiple segments. Amortization includes amortization generated from intangible assets including brands and trademarks, customer relationships, supply arrangements, patents and intellectual property, land use rights and software. All prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the new presentation of segment operating income (loss).

•Corporate Expenses– Corporate expenses decreased primarily due to $13 million of lower team member costs and a $7 million gain on the sale of a corporate asset, partially offset by higher technology expenses.

Current report

Current report

•In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into a $750 million revolving term loan credit facility. The facility will mature and commitment thereunder will terminate in December 2028. The Company may make an election to convert all or part of the outstanding borrowings into one or more term loans that will mature up to seven years after the facility's maturity date. Interest on borrowings under the facility are based either on term or daily simple secured overnight financing rates, with an applicable spread, or an alternative base rate with an applicable spread. The facility contained covenants and other terms that are generally consistent with those of our revolving credit facility. We had no borrowings under the revolving term loan facility during the three months ended December 27, 2025.

Current report

The below table outlines the commitment fee on any unused borrowing capacity and the borrowing spread on the outstanding principal balance of our revolving term loan credit facility that corresponds to the applicable ratings levels from S&P and Moody’s and designated Tranche. Borrowings under the revolving term loan are separated into Tranche A, B, C or D with options to convert all or part of the outstanding borrowings into term loans that will mature one, three, five or seven years, respectively, after the facility's maturity date.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company initiated a network optimization plan to optimize our global operations and logistics network.

Current wording

Commencing in fiscal 2025, the Company initiated a network optimization plan to optimize our global operations and logistics network. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company approved additional actions under the network optimization plan, increasing the estimated total pretax charges by $140 million. This increase reflects network changes in the Beef segment, including the closure of a harvesting facility and the transition to a single shift at another, as well as efforts to reduce support costs across all segments and corporate functions. As a result, we now expect to recognize total pretax net charges of $226 million for actions approved through December 27, 2025, which include $148 million of net charges that have resulted or will result in cash outflows and $185 million of non-cash charges, partially offset by $107 million gain recognized from the sale of storage facilities.

Through the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we have recognized $162 million of the expected total pretax charges and estimate $64 million of charges will be incurred over future periods, including $44 million during the remainder of fiscal 2026. We expect to incur costs related to the network optimization plan over a multi-year period. We expect to incur additional charges in the future as additional actions are approved.
