Forward Guidance

TreeHouse Foods updated its full-year 2024 guidance, expecting adjusted net sales in the range of $3.37 to $3.40 billion and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $335 to $345 million.

Positive Outlook

  • Net sales improvement due to new distribution wins.
  • Cost savings initiatives.
  • Return to normalized service levels in the Broth business.
  • Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is expected in a range of $116 to $126 million.

Challenges Ahead

  • Weakening consumption trends.
  • Softer mix, which creates deleverage in our supply chain.
  • Estimated impact from the voluntary griddle recall.
  • Fourth quarter adjusted net sales are expected in a range of $900 to $930 million, which represents approximately -1% to 2% growth year-over-year. Organic volume and mix are expected to be up low-single digits. Pricing is expected to be a slight drag.
