2 Commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company no longer allocates corporate expenses and amortization to segments as these items are no longer used in assessing the performance of, or in allocating resources to, the segments. Accordingly, the Company changed its segment reporting to separately disclose corporate expenses and amortization from its reportable segments and identified International as a reportable segment. All prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the new presentation of segment operating income (loss).

3Average Price Change and Adjusted Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) for the Chicken segment and Total Company for the three months ended June 27, 2026 exclude the impact of a $98 million legal contingency accrual recognized as a reduction to Sales. Average Price Change and Adjusted Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) for the Beef, Pork and Chicken segments and Total Company for the nine months ended June 27, 2026 exclude the impact of $90 million, $60 million, $98 million and $248 million, respectively, of legal contingency accruals recognized as reductions to Sales. Average Price Change and Adjusted Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) for the Beef and Pork segments and Total Company for the nine months ended June 28, 2025 exclude the impact of $93 million, $250 million and $343 million, respectively, of legal contingency accruals recognized as reductions to Sales.

OUTLOOK

For fiscal 2026, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) indicates domestic protein production (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) will increase approximately 1% compared to fiscal 2025 levels. The following is a summary of the updated outlook for each of our segments, as well as an outlook for corporate expenses and amortization, revenue, capital expenditures, net interest expense, liquidity, free cash flow and tax rate for fiscal 2026. As our accounting cycle results in a 53-week year in fiscal 2026 as compared to a 52-week year in fiscal 2025, the fiscal 2026 outlook is based on a comparable 52-week year. Certain of the outlook numbers include adjusted operating income (loss) and segment operating income (loss), as adjusted which are non-GAAP metrics.

The Company is not able to reconcile its full-year fiscal 2026 projected adjusted results to its fiscal 2026 projected GAAP results because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for these forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Adjusted operating income (loss) and segment operating income (loss), as adjusted should not be considered substitutes for operating income (loss) or any other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Investors should rely primarily on the Company’s GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions.

Beef

USDA projects domestic production will decrease approximately 3% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025. G1We anticipate segment operating loss, as adjusted, of $(650) million to $(500) million in fiscal 2026.

Pork

USDA projects domestic production will increase approximately 2% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025. G2We anticipate segment operating income, as adjusted, of $250 million to $300 million in fiscal 2026.

Chicken

USDA projects chicken production will increase approximately 3% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025. We anticipate segment operating income, as adjusted, of $1.90 billion to $2.05 billion in fiscal 2026.

Prepared Foods

We anticipate segment operating income, as adjusted, of $1.3 billion to $1.35 billion in fiscal 2026.

International

G3We anticipate segment operating income, as adjusted, of $150 million to $200 million in fiscal 2026.

Corporate Expenses and Amortization

G4We anticipate corporate expenses and amortization, as adjusted, of $950 million to $975 million in fiscal 2026.

Total Company

We anticipate total company adjusted operating income of $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion for fiscal 2026.

Revenue

We expect sales to be up 2.5% to 3.5% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025.

Capital Expenditures

We expect capital expenditures of $0.7 billion to $0.9 billion in fiscal 2026. Capital expenditures include investments in profit improvement projects as well as projects for maintenance and repairs.

Net Interest Expense

G5We expect net interest expense to approximate $365 million in fiscal 2026.

Liquidity

We expect total liquidity, which was $4.0 billion as of June 27, 2026, to remain above our minimum liquidity target of $1.0 billion.

Free Cash Flow

We expect free cash flow to be between $1.3 billion and $1.7 billion for fiscal 2026.

Tax Rate

G6We currently expect our adjusted effective tax rate to approximate 25% in fiscal 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Tyson and Adjusted EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA, net debt to Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Operating Income (Loss), As Adjusted, Corporate Expenses, As Adjusted, Amortization, As Adjusted, and Free Cash Flow are presented as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are tools intended to assist our management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis.

These non-GAAP measures should not be a substitute for their comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures helps management and investors to assess our operating performance from period to period, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt, enhances understanding of our financial performance and highlights operational trends. These measures are widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our calculation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way, which may limit their usefulness of comparative measures.

Definitions

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Net debt to EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA) represents the ratio of our debt, net of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, to EBITDA (and to Adjusted EBITDA). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Tyson and Adjusted EPS are defined as EBITDA, Operating Income (Loss), Income before Income Taxes, Income Tax Expense, Net Income Attributable to Tyson and diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding the impacts of any items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis.

Segment Operating Income (Loss) is defined as Operating Income (Loss) less corporate expenses and amortization. Corporate expenses are unallocated general and administrative costs, including the costs of corporate functions, that are shared across multiple segments. Amortization includes amortization generated from intangible assets including brands and trademarks, customer relationships, supply arrangements, patents and intellectual property, land use rights and software.

Segment Operating Income (Loss), As Adjusted is defined as Segment Operating Income (Loss) less the impact of items affecting comparability, which in management's judgment, affect the year-to-year assessment of operating results. Items affecting comparability include restructuring and related charges (including network optimization), plant closure and disposal charges (net of gains), goodwill and intangible impairments, brand and product line discontinuations, facility fire related costs (net of insurance proceeds), and certain non-ordinary course legal, regulatory and other matters.

Corporate Expenses, As Adjusted is defined as Corporate Expenses less the impact of items affecting comparability, which in management's judgment, affect the year-to-year assessment of operating results. Items affecting comparability include restructuring and related charges (including network optimization), corporate asset disposal charges (net of gains) and certain non-ordinary course legal, regulatory and other matters.

Amortization, As Adjusted is defined as Amortization less the impact of items affecting comparability, which in management's judgment, affect the year-to-year assessment of operating results. Items affecting comparability include accelerated amortization related to the discontinuance of intangible assets.

Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash Provided by Operating Activities minus payments for Property, Plant and Equipment.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
