Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
For fiscal 2021, USDA indicates domestic protein production (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) should increase approximately 1% from fiscal 2020 levels. On an adjusted basis, we anticipate the Beef and Pork segments will remain strong, although not at fiscal 2020 levels, and we believe the Chicken and Prepared Foods segments will likely strengthen in fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020.
Positive Outlook
- USDA projects domestic production will increase approximately 2% in fiscal 2021 as compared to a COVID-19 impacted fiscal 2020.
- We also expect sufficient supplies in regions where we operate our plants.
- USDA projects relatively flat to slightly increased domestic production in fiscal 2021 as compared to a COVID-19 impacted fiscal 2020.
- USDA projects a relatively flat to slightly increased outlook for chicken production in fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020.
- We expect improved results from our foreign operations in fiscal 2021.
Challenges Ahead
- These challenges are anticipated to increase our operating costs and negatively impact our volumes into fiscal 2021.
- We cannot currently predict the ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on our short- and long-term demand, as it will depend on, among other things, the severity and duration of the COVID-19 crisis.
