Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- In April 2025, we committed to a plan to close our sauce and dressing production facility in Milpitas, California as part of our ongoing strategic initiative to better optimize our manufacturing network.
- Looking forward to our fiscal second quarter and the remainder of the fiscal year, we anticipate Retail segment sales will continue to benefit from incremental sales attributed to the Bachan’s acquisition in addition to contributions from new items that we recently launched or have planned for introduction later this year.
- In the Foodservice segment, we expect sales to remain supported by select quick-service restaurant customers in our mix of national chain restaurant accounts.
- We continue to anticipate a moderate level of commodity cost inflation, in addition to significantly higher diesel and freight costs, most or all of which we expect to mitigate through inflationary pricing and our cost savings programs as we remain focused on margin improvement.
- We currently expect to remain in compliance with the Credit Agreement’s covenants for the foreseeable future.
- We believe that cash provided by operating activities and our existing balances in cash and equivalents, in addition to that available under the Credit Agreement, should be adequate to meet our core liquidity needs over the next 12 months, including the projected levels of capital expenditures and dividend payments.
- Beyond the next 12 months, we expect that cash provided by operating activities will be the primary source of liquidity.
- Such statements are based upon assumptions and assessments made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe to be appropriate.
