Insights

Post reports Q3 growth with 13.4% Adjusted EBITDA increase and raises FY2025 guidance despite challenges in consumer brands segment.

Post Holdings delivered solid Q3 results with net sales of $1.98 billion, up 1.9% year-over-year, while Adjusted EBITDA jumped 13.4% to $397 million. The company has raised its full-year outlook, now expecting Adjusted EBITDA between $1.5-$1.52 billion, reflecting management's increased confidence in operational performance.

Looking at segment performance reveals a mixed picture. The Foodservice segment was the standout performer with net sales surging 18.6% and segment Adjusted EBITDA increasing 32.1%, driven by distribution gains and growth in protein-based shakes. Similarly, Refrigerated Retail showed strong profitability with segment Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubling, up 94.4%.

However, Post Consumer Brands � the company's largest segment � faced significant headwinds with net sales declining 9.3% and volumes down 10.3%. This was primarily due to a 13% decrease in pet food volumes from distribution losses and a 5.8% drop in cereal volumes from category declines. This segment weakness is concerning as it represents approximately 46% of total sales.

Post's capital allocation strategy remains shareholder-friendly with $434.7 million spent on share repurchases during the first nine months of FY2025, buying back 3.9 million shares at an average price of $112.02. The company continued repurchases after quarter-end, with an additional $121.8 million spent through August 7.

The July 1 acquisition of 8th Avenue Food & Provisions should provide additional growth opportunities, though specific financial impacts weren't detailed. Meanwhile, the newly enacted tax law (H.R. 1) is expected to deliver approximately $300 million in favorable cash tax impacts over the next five years, strengthening future cash flows.

Despite challenges in its largest segment, Post's overall profitability metrics improved, with gross margin expanding to 30% from 29.6% in the prior year period, and SG&A expenses declining to 15.7% of sales from 16.7%. These operational efficiencies, combined with the strong performance in Foodservice and Refrigerated Retail, enabled Post to overcome weakness in Consumer Brands and deliver improved overall results.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST), a consumer packaged goods holding company, today reported results for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Highlights:

  • Third quarter net sales of $2.0 billion
  • Operating profit of $234.6 million; net earnings of $108.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)* of $397.0 million
  • Raised fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)* outlook to $1,500-$1,520 million

*For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted diluted earnings per common share and segment Adjusted EBITDA, see the related explanations presented under "Use of Non-GAAP Measures" later in this release. Post provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP guidance measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including the adjustments described under "Outlook" below.

Basis of Presentation

On March 3, 2025, Post completed its acquisition of Potato Products of Idaho, L.L.C. ("PPI"), the results of which are included in the Refrigerated Retail and Foodservice segments.

ThirdQuarter Consolidated Operating Results

Net sales were $1,984.3 million, an increase of 1.9%, or $36.6 million, compared to $1,947.7 million in the prior year period and included $8.4 million in net sales from PPI in the current year period. Excluding the benefit from PPI in the current year period, net sales growth in Foodservice (primarily driven by incremental highly pathogenic avian influenza pricing and protein-based shake volume growth), Refrigerated Retail (primarily driven by incremental highly pathogenic avian influenza pricing) and Weetabix (primarily driven by favorable foreign currency exchange rates) was partially offset by declines in Post Consumer Brands (driven by pet food distribution losses and cereal category declines). Gross profit was $596.2 million, or 30.0% of net sales, an increase of 3.3%, or $18.9 million, compared to $577.3 million, or 29.6% of net sales, in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $312.1 million, or 15.7% of net sales, a decrease of 3.8%, or $12.4 million, compared to $324.5 million, or 16.7% of net sales, in the prior year period. SG&A expenses in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2024 included $3.6 million and $12.4 million, respectively, of integration costs, which were primarily related to acquisitions and were treated as adjustments for non-GAAP measures. Operating profit was $234.6 million, an increase of 15.5%, or $31.4 million, compared to $203.2 million in the prior year period.

Net earnings were $108.8 million, an increase of 9.0%, or $9.0 million, compared to $99.8 million in the prior year period.

Diluted earnings per common share were $1.79, compared to $1.53 in the prior year period. Adjusted net earnings (non-GAAP)* were $126.4 million, compared to $103.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share (non-GAAP)* were $2.03, compared to $1.54 in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $397.0 million, an increase of 13.4%, or $46.8 million, compared to $350.2 million in the prior year period.

SG&A expenses were $958.5 million, or 16.2% of net sales, a decrease of 3.1%, or $30.2 million, compared to $988.7 million, or 16.7% of net sales, in the prior year period.

Pet food volumes decreased by 13.0%, primarily driven by reductions in co-manufactured and private label products and distribution losses. Cereal volumes decreased 5.8%, primarily driven by category declines. Segment profit was $120.5 million, a decrease of 6.3%, or $8.1 million, compared to the prior year period.

Net sales reflected a foreign currency exchange rate tailwind of approximately 560 basis points. Volumes decreased 2.5%, primarily driven by the strategic exit of low-performing products and cereal category declines, partially offset by growth in protein-based shakes. Segment profit was $19.3 million, a decrease of 19.9%, or $4.8 million, compared to the prior year period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $32.8 million, a decrease of 4.1%, or $1.4 million, compared to the prior year period.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, net sales were $397.2 million, a decrease of 1.5%, or $6.0 million, compared to the prior year period.

Primarily egg and potato products.

For the third quarter, net sales were $698.5 million, an increase of 18.6%, or $109.4 million, compared to the prior year period. Net sales included $7.0 million in the third quarter attributable to PPI. Excluding the benefit of PPI in the current year period, volumes increased 4.5%, driven by distribution increases in egg and potato products and growth in protein-based shakes. Segment profit was $123.9 million, an increase of 38.3%, or $34.3 million, compared to the prior year period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $159.0 million, an increase of 32.1%, or $38.6 million, compared to the prior year period.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, net sales were $1,923.0 million, an increase of 12.4%, or $212.0 million, compared to the prior year period. Segment profit was $271.5 million, an increase of 18.1%, or $41.7 million, compared to the prior year period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $371.8 million, an increase of 13.4%, or $43.9 million, compared to the prior year period.

Refrigerated Retail

Primarily side dish, egg, cheese and sausage products.

For the third quarter, net sales were $233.9 million, an increase of 9.1%, or $19.5 million, compared to the prior year period. Net sales included $1.4 million in the third quarter attributable to PPI. Excluding the benefit of PPI in the current year period, volumes increased 0.6%, primarily due to the shifting of holiday demand into the current year period, partially offset by declines in cheese products. Volume information by product is disclosed in a table presented later in this release. Segment profit was $24.5 million, an increase of 380.4%, or $19.4 million, compared to the prior year period.

Interest, (Gain) Loss on Extinguishment of Debt, Expense (Income) on Swaps and Income Tax

Interest expense, net was $88.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to $78.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. Interest expense, net was $259.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $236.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in interest expense, net in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by higher average outstanding principal amounts of debt and a higher weighted-average interest rate, partially offset by higher interest income compared to the prior year periods.

No gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, net was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. Gain on extinguishment of debt, net of $1.8 million was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. Loss on extinguishment of debt, net of $5.8 million was recorded in the nine months ended June 30, 2025 in connection with Post's redemption of its outstanding 5.625% senior notes due January 2028. Gain on extinguishment of debt, net of $4.6 million was recorded in the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Expense (income)on swaps, net relates to mark-to-market adjustments and settlements on interest rate swaps.

Income tax expense was $86.8 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2025, an effective income tax rate of 23.4%, compared to $88.8 million in the prior year period, an effective income tax rate of 23.7%.

Share Repurchases

During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, Post repurchased 3.9 million shares for $434.7 million at an average price of $112.02 per share. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 through August7, 2025, Post repurchased 1.1 million shares for $121.8 million at an average price of $106.25 per share. As of August 7, 2025, Post had $231.4 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

Acquisition

On July 1, 2025, Post completed its acquisition of 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, Inc. ("8th Avenue").

Impact of New Tax Law

On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1 was enacted. Post currently estimates this will result in a favorable cash tax impact of approximately $300 million over the next five years.

Outlook

Post management raised its guidance range for fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to $1,500-$1,520 million from $1,460-$1,500 million, inclusive of a partial year contribution from 8th Avenue.

Post management expects fiscal year 2025 capital expenditures to range between $450-$480 million, which includes Post Consumer Brands investment in network optimization, announced plant closures and pet food safety and capacity, for aggregate expenditures of $130-$140 million. This also includes Foodservice investment in the completion of the Norwalk, Iowa precooked egg facility expansion and continued cage-free egg facility expansion, for aggregate expenditures of $90-$100 million.

Post provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP guidance measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for income/expense on swaps, net, integration and transaction costs, mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments, mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, net, equity method investment adjustment and other charges reflected in Post's reconciliations of historical numbers, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be significant. For additional information regarding Post's non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under "Use of Non-GAAP Measures."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Post uses certain non-GAAP measures in this release to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted net earnings/loss, Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales, segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales and free cash flow. The reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided later in this release under "Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures."

Management uses certain of these non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA, as key metrics in the evaluation of underlying company and segment performance, in making financial, operating and planning decisions and, in part, in the determination of bonuses for its executive officers and employees. Additionally, Post is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of Post and its segments and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude certain items as described later in this release. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For additional information regarding Post's non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations provided under "Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures."

EXPLANATION AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Post uses certain non-GAAP measures in this release to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted net earnings/loss, Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales, segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales and free cash flow. The reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables following this section. Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude certain items as described below. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted net earnings/loss and Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share
Post believes Adjusted net earnings/loss and Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share are useful to investors in evaluating Post's operating performance because they exclude items that affect the comparability of Post's financial results and could potentially distort an understanding of the trends in business performance.

Adjusted net earnings/loss and Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share are adjusted for the following items:

a.

Income/expense on swaps, net: Post has excluded the impact of mark-to-market adjustments and cash settlements on interest rate swaps due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to estimates of fair value and economic conditions and as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent.

b.

Restructuring and facility closure costs, including accelerated depreciation: Post has excluded certain costs associated with facility closures as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, Post believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

c.

Integration costs and transaction costs: Post has excluded transaction costs related to professional service fees and other related costs associated with signed and closed business combinations and divestitures and integration costs incurred to integrate acquired or to-be-acquired businesses as Post believes that these exclusions allow for more meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance and comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods. Post believes such costs are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of acquired assets as part of Post or the performance of the divested assets, and such costs are not factored into management's evaluation of potential acquisitions or Post's performance after completion of an acquisition or the evaluation to divest an asset. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges varies significantly based on the size and timing of the transaction and the maturity of the businesses being acquired or divested. Also, the size, complexity and/or volume of past transactions, which often drive the magnitude of such expenses, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of future transactions. By excluding these expenses, management is better able to evaluate Post's ability to utilize its existing assets and estimate the long-term value that acquired assets will generate for Post.

d.

Mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments: Post has excluded the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments due to the inherent volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in market pricing variations and as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, these adjustments are primarily non-cash items and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

e.

Mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges: Post has excluded the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates. Additionally, these adjustments are primarily non-cash items, and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent.

f.

Debt premiums paid/discounts received, net: Post has excluded payments and other expenses for premiums on debt extinguishment, net of gains realized on debt repurchased at a discount, as such payments are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Additionally, Post believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

g.

Asset disposal costs:Post has excluded costs recorded in connection with the disposal of certain assets which were never put into use and/or the demolition and site remediation of unused facilities as the amount and frequency of these costs are not consistent. Additionally, Post believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

h.

Adjustment to/gain on bargain purchase:Post has excluded gains recorded for acquisitions in which the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price and adjustments to such gains as such amounts are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Post believes such gains and adjustments are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of acquired assets as part of Post, and such amounts are not factored into the performance of acquisitions after their completion.

i.

Inventory revaluation adjustment on acquired businesses: Post has excluded the impact of fair value step-up adjustments to inventory in connection with business combinations as such adjustments represent non-cash items, are not consistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of Post's acquisitions.

j.

Advisory income: Post has excluded advisory income received from 8th Avenue while it was unconsolidated as Post believes such income does not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

k.

Provision for legal settlements: Post has excluded gains and losses recorded to recognize the anticipated or actual resolution of certain litigation as Post believes such gains and losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating income and expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

l.

Gain/loss on sale of business: Post has excluded gains and losses recorded on divestitures as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, Post believes that these gains and losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating income and expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

m.

Income tax effect on adjustments: Post has included the income tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments using a rate described in the applicable footnote of the reconciliation tables, as Post believes that its GAAP effective income tax rate as reported is not representative of the income tax expense impact of the adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales and segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales
Post believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating Post's operating performance and liquidity because (i) Post believes it is widely used to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, (ii) it presents a measure of corporate performance exclusive of Post's capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired and (iii) it is a financial indicator of a company's ability to service its debt, as Post is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Post believes that segment Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating Post's operating performance because it allows for assessment of the operating performance of each reportable segment. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to provide forward-looking guidance and uses Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA to forecast future results. Post believes that Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales and segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales are measures useful to investors in evaluating Post's operating performance because they allow for meaningful comparison of operating performance across periods.

Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA reflect adjustments for income tax expense/benefit, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization, and the following adjustments discussed above: income/expense on swaps, net, restructuring and facility closure costs, integration costs and transaction costs, mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments, mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges, asset disposal costs, adjustment to/gain on bargain purchase, inventory revaluation adjustment on acquired businesses, advisory income, provision for legal settlements and gain/loss on sale of business. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA reflect adjustments for the following items:

n.

Stock-based compensation: Post's compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain executives and employees by aligning their long-term compensation interests with shareholders' investment interests. Post has excluded stock-based compensation as stock-based compensation can vary significantly based on reasons such as the timing, size and nature of the awards granted and subjective assumptions which are unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period and does not contribute to meaningful comparisons of Post's operating performances to other periods.

o.

Gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, net: Post has excluded gains and losses recorded on extinguishment of debt, inclusive of payments for premiums, the write-off of debt issuance costs, tender fees and the write-off of net unamortized debt premiums, net of gains realized on debt repurchased at a discount, as such gains and losses are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Additionally, Post believes that these gains and losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating income and expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

p.

Equity method investment adjustment: Post has included adjustments for its portion of income tax expense/benefit, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization for Weetabix's unconsolidated investment accounted for using equity method accounting as Post believes these adjustments contribute to a more meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance.

q.

Noncontrolling interest adjustment: Post has included adjustments for income tax expense/benefit, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization for Weetabix's consolidated investment which is attributable to the noncontrolling owners of Weetabix's consolidated investment as Post believes these adjustments contribute to a more meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance.

Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure which represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Post believes free cash flow is useful to investors in evaluating Post's ability to service debt and repurchase shares of its common stock.
