  • Pricing actions are expected to drive the majority of the sales growth.
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $385 to $415 million, up approximately 5% year-over-year at the midpoint.
  • TreeHouse expects flat to slight sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter.
