Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENTS SEGMENTS
We manage our operations in two business segments, North America and International. As a result of how we manage the business, we have two operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment: North America and International. North America includes activity that occurs in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. International includes all activity that does not occur within the North America segment. Both segments primarily manufacture frozen potato products for sale to our customers. These reportable segments are each managed by a general manager and supported by a cross-functional team assigned to support the segment.
Our president and chief executive officer is our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). The CODM assesses the performance of our reportable segments and decides how to allocate resources based on segment adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). The adjustments to EBITDA include unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains and losses (which are a component of both cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses), foreign currency exchange gains and losses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), blue chip swap transaction gains (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), stock-based compensation expense (which is a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), and other items impacting comparability (which are a component of both cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) that are described below (“Segment Adjusted EBITDA”).
Net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA inform operating decisions, performance assessment, and resource allocation decisions at the segment level. Our CODM uses net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the annual operating plan and forecasting process and considers actual versus plan variances in assessing the performance of each segment. Total asset information by segment is not regularly provided to our CODM or utilized for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources by segment and, as a result, such information has not been presented below.
The following table illustrates reportable segment net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended February 22, 2026 and February 23, 2025, respectively.
