OAK BROOK, Ill., Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE:THS) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2025.
THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net Sales — Net sales for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $840.3 million compared to $839.1 million for the same period last year, an increase of $1.2 million, or 0.1%. The change in net sales from 2024 to 2025 was due to the following:
Three Months | Nine Months | |||
(unaudited) | (unaudited) | |||
Volume/mix | (8.6) % | (4.6) % | ||
Margin management | (3.0) | (3.0) | ||
Griddle recall service impacts | — | (1.2) | ||
Total volume/mix | (11.6) % | (8.8) % | ||
Pricing | 6.5 | 4.0 | ||
Business acquisition | 4.3 | 4.5 | ||
Product recall | 1.7 | 0.4 | ||
RTD business exit | (0.7) | (0.7) | ||
Foreign currency | (0.1) | (0.1) | ||
Total change in net sales | 0.1 % | (0.7) % | ||
Product recall/other | (1.6) | (0.4) | ||
Total change in adjusted net sales(1) | (1.5) % | (1.1) % |
The net sales increase of 0.1% was primarily due to favorable pricing to recover commodity inflation, the acquisition of the private brand tea business, and distribution gains. This was partially offset by volume/mix related to broader macroeconomic consumption trends, distribution losses, planned margin management actions, and the RTD business exit.
Gross Profit — Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 18.8% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 15.6% in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 3.2 percentage points. The increase is primarily due to $17.5 million of insurance recoveries related to voluntary product recalls received during the third quarter of 2025, favorable margin from the Harris Tea acquisition, and supply chain savings initiatives. This was partially offset by unfavorable fixed cost absorption due to declining consumption trends.
Total Operating Expenses — Total operating expenses were $412.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $99.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $312.6 million. The increase in expense is primarily due to a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $289.7 million recognized in the third quarter of 2025, increased restructuring costs primarily from severance and professional fees, an increase in operating expenses from the Harris Tea acquisition, and higher employee incentive compensation expense. This was partially offset by cost reduction activities in 2025.
Total Other Expense — Total other expense was $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $36.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease in expense of $22.7 million. The decrease was due to a $32.2 million favorable change in non-cash mark-to-market impacts from hedging activities, driven by interest rate swaps and commodity contracts, primarily coffee. This was partially offset by an increase of $7.9 million in interest expense primarily due to an increase in borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility and an unfavorable currency exchange rate impact of $3.5 million between the U.S. and Canada.
Income Taxes — Income taxes were recognized at an effective rate of 0.6% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 20.9% recognized in the third quarter of 2024. The change in the Company's effective tax rate is primarily driven by the impairment of goodwill and changes in the amounts of executive compensation, both of which are not deductible for tax purposes.
Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA — Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $265.8 million, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million for the same period of the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $91.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $102.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $10.9 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to volume/mix related to planned margin management actions and broader macroeconomic consumption trends. This was partially offset by supply chain savings initiatives, the accretive impact of the Harris Tea acquisition, and cost reduction activities.
Net Cash Used In Operating Activities — Net cash used in operating activities was $62.5 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $30.4 million in the first nine months of 2024, an increase in cash used of $32.1 million, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash flows from the Receivables Sales Program. This was partially offset by higher cash earnings.
________________________________________________ |
1 Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net sales, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Comparison of Non-GAAP Information to GAAP Information" for the definitions of the Non-GAAP measures, information concerning certain items affecting comparability, and reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures. |
CANCELLING CONFERENCE CALL WEBCAST AND WITHDRAWING OUTLOOK
In a separate press release issued today, TreeHouse Foods announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement under which TreeHouse Foods will be acquired by Investindustrial for a total of $2.9 billion. In light of the pending transaction, TreeHouse Foods will not host its conference call previously scheduled for today, and the Company is withdrawing guidance, which it will no longer provide moving forward.
COMPARISON OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION TO GAAP INFORMATION
The Company has included in this release measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP ("Non-GAAP"). A Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As described further below, the Company believes these measures provide useful information to the users of the financial statements.
For each of these Non-GAAP financial measures, the Company provides a reconciliation between the most directly comparable GAAP measure and the Non-GAAP measure, an explanation of why management believes the Non-GAAP measure provides useful information to financial statement users, and any additional purposes for which management uses the Non-GAAP measure. This Non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information for the financial statement users and is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. These Non-GAAP measures may be different from similar measures used by other companies.
EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusting for Certain Items Affecting Comparability
EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of adjusted net sales. EBITDA represents net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to EBITDA to identify items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's earnings performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management. As the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of charges that include, but are not limited to, items such as product recalls and related costs, restructuring programs, acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment, foreign currency exchange impact on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, and other items that may arise from time to time that would impact comparability, management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company's performance, when making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, in determining incentive compensation, or in determining earnings estimates. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are performance measures commonly used by management to assess operating performance and incentive compensation, and the Company believes they are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as a measure of a company's operating performance between periods and as a component of our debt covenant calculations.
Adjusted Net Sales, Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Total Operating Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Total Other Expense, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Adjusting for Certain Items Affecting Comparability
Adjusted net sales, adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted total operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted total other expense, adjusted income tax expense, and adjusted net income represent their respective GAAP presentation line item adjusted for items such as product recalls and related costs, restructuring programs, acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment, foreign currency exchange impact on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, and other items that may arise from time to time that would impact comparability. Management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company's performance, when making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, in determining incentive compensation, or in determining earnings estimates. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's earnings performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management. The Company has presented each of these adjusted Non-GAAP measures as a percentage of adjusted net sales compared to its respective reported GAAP presentation line item as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted diluted EPS") is determined by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted EPS reflects adjustments to GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share to identify items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods.
Given the inherent uncertainty regarding adjusted items in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not feasible.
Free Cash Flow
In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing, and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure free cash flow (a Non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash used in operating activities, less capital expenditures and proceeds from sales of fixed assets. We believe free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt, repurchasing public debt, and repurchasing common stock. A reconciliation between the relevant GAAP measure of cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 calculated according to GAAP and free cash flow is presented in the attached tables.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company entered into transactions that affected the year-over-year comparison of its financial results as follows:
(1) | During the third quarter of 2025, the Company incurred $289.7 million of non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill. The impairment is due to a sustained decrease in share price and market capitalization.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company incurred $19.3 million of non-cash impairment charges related to property, plant, and equipment. The impairment is due to forecasted cash flow losses in the ready-to-drink beverages business resulting in a decision to exit this business. |
(2) | The Company's restructuring and margin improvement activities are part of an enterprise-wide transformation to improve the long-term profitability of the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $2.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively, of accelerated depreciation within the Company's restructuring activities as depreciation expense. There was no accelerated depreciation recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. |
(3) | The Company has foreign currency denominated intercompany loans and incurred foreign currency gains/losses to re-measure the loans at quarter end. These amounts are non-cash and the loans are eliminated in consolidation. |
(4) | Acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs represent costs associated with completed and potential acquisitions, the related integration of the acquisitions, completed and potential divestitures, and gains or losses on the divestiture of a business. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $0.2 million and $1.0 million were classified in General and administrative and $0.4 million and $0.9 million were classified in Net sales, respectively. Additionally, $1.9 million was classified in Cost of sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $1.0 million and $4.7 million were classified in General and administrative and $(0.1) million and $2.0 million were classified in Cost of sales, respectively. Additionally, $0.2 million was classified in Other operating expense, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. |
(5) | The Company's derivative contracts are marked-to-market each period. The non-cash unrealized changes in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are treated as Non-GAAP adjustments. As the contracts are settled, realized gains and losses are recognized, and only the mark-to-market impacts are treated as Non-GAAP adjustments. |
