In its updated report, the company said it swung to an attributable net income of $145 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 from a $3 million net loss in the same period last year. Net sales inched up by 1.2 percent to $2.32 billion from $2.29 billion year-on-year.

For the next year, The Campbell’s Company (NASDAQ:CPB) said it expects organic net sales to either dip or inch up by 1 percent, while reported net sales are predicted to drop by 1 percent as a result of the divestment of Pop Secret and Noosa.

“The company faces a dynamic operating and regulatory environment resulting in substantial input cost pressures, primarily driven by tariffs, which, despite significant mitigation efforts, reduce its earnings outlook for the upcoming fiscal year,” The Campbell’s Company (NASDAQ:CPB) said.
