Forward Guidance
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s full-year 2020 results remains uncertain. The Company believes low to mid-single-digit Organic Net Sales growth and mid-single-digit constant-currency Adjusted EBITDA growth versus the prior year period is a reasonable expectation for second quarter performance.
Positive Outlook
- Incremental demand from retail customers due to an increase in at-home consumption, particularly in developed markets is expected.
- Low to mid-single-digit Organic Net Sales growth is expected for the second quarter.
- Mid-single-digit constant-currency Adjusted EBITDA growth is expected for the second quarter.
Challenges Ahead
- The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s full-year 2020 results remains uncertain.
- Reduced demand in foodservice channels on a global basis is expected.
