Forward Guidance

Campbell now expects adjusted EPS to be in the range of $2.55 to $2.60 per share, reflecting lower adjusted net interest expense due to reduced debt and EBIT momentum through the first half, which will be partly offset by incremental investments in the business in the second half of the year.
