The Marzetti Company — First Quarter 2026 Earnings Summary

The Marzetti Company reported first-quarter net sales of $481.5 million for the period ended September 30, 2026, representing a 2.4% decline from the prior year. Consolidated net income fell to $29.3 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared to $47.2 million, or $1.71 per share, in the same period last year. The results were negatively impacted by a cyclospora outbreak that reduced demand for retail and foodservice products, alongside higher freight costs and commissioning expenses for new production capacity. Conversely, the acquisition of Bachan's, Inc. contributed $17.8 million in incremental sales to the Retail segment, partially offsetting the overall decline.
