- Anticipates continued growth from our Foodservice segment and an inflection in our International segment to be the primary drivers for growth.
- All of our businesses are expected to benefit from higher turkey volumes and improved fill rates in key categories, such as bacon, pepperoni, snack nuts, and for our SPAM® family of products.
- Coupled with the progress we have made on GoFWD — including standing up Brand Fuel, restructuring our sales teams and resourcing our marketing teams to better support our leading brands — we remain confident in our growth outlook as we continue to meet the needs of our customers, consumers and operators in this dynamic environment.
- We are also focused on a number of projects aimed at reducing costs and complexity to improve our margin structure.
