Seneca Foods Q1 2024 Earnings Report

Seneca Foods reported increased sales and gross margin due to higher selling prices and the absence of a LIFO charge.

Key Takeaways

Seneca Foods reported a strong first quarter with increased sales driven by higher selling prices, and a significantly improved gross margin due to the absence of a non-cash LIFO charge.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 increased to $298.7 million compared to $265.2 million in the same quarter last year.

The year-over-year increase in net sales was primarily due to higher selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes.

Gross margin improved significantly to 18.5% for the quarter, compared to 8.6% for the same period last year.

The company had net other operating income of $0.2 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, which was driven primarily by the sale of a non-operational plant in the Midwest.
