FLOWERS FOODS, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

THOMASVILLE, Ga., August 20, 2026 – Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO) today reported financial results for the company’s 12-week second quarter ended July 18, 2026.

Second Quarter Summary:

Compared to the prior year second quarter where applicable

Net sales(1) decreased 4.0% to $1.193 billion as favorable price/mix was more than offset by lower volume.
Net income decreased 30.3% to $40.7 million, representing 3.4% of sales, a 130-basis point decrease, primarily due to a challenging consumer environment, increased marketing expense, and increases in labor and freight costs, partly offset by lower interest expense and moderating ingredient costs. Adjusted net income(2) decreased 30.5% to $44.1 million.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) decreased 19.2% to $111.3 million, representing 9.3% of net sales, a 180-basis point decrease.
Diluted EPS decreased $0.09 to $0.19. Adjusted diluted EPS(2) decreased $0.09 to $0.21.

Chairman and CEO Remarks:

“Our second quarter results reflect the continued challenges across the fresh packaged bread category, where macroeconomic pressures, evolving consumer purchasing behavior, and sustained competitive activity created a more difficult operating environment than we anticipated,” said Ryals McMullian, chairman and CEO of Flowers Foods. “While these headwinds weighed on our performance, they also reinforced the actions we are taking to strengthen our competitiveness and improve execution.

"Against this backdrop, we are accelerating initiatives already underway to improve our performance and better align our resources with the opportunities that we believe will create the greatest long-term value. That includes sharpening our value proposition, improving in-store execution, accelerating innovation, winning new business opportunities, and continuing to invest behind our leading brands.

"The relaunch of Nature's Own is an important example of that strategy in action. Early feedback from customers and distribution partners has been excellent, particularly around the brand’s simpler ingredients, stronger better-for-you positioning, and Non-GMO Project Verified offering at national scale. While this initiative remains in its early stages and has not yet meaningfully contributed to results, positive customer feedback and the brand’s growing presence in the better-for-you segment reinforce our confidence in Nature’s Own’s ability to extend its category leadership over time.

"In addition, consistent with the findings in our comprehensive review, we are taking select actions to further realign our organization and improve our cost structure. These actions are intended to simplify our operations, improve execution, and better position the company to respond to evolving consumer needs.

“Given our first-half performance and the current category environment, we are updating our full-year outlook to reflect a more cautious view for the balance of 2026. While near-term conditions remain challenging, we are confident that the actions underway will strengthen our top-line trajectory and better position our portfolio to meet evolving consumer demand.”

Revised Outlook: 52-week Fiscal 2026, the Company Expects:

 

Net sales of approximately $5.070 billion to $5.142 billion, representing a -3.5% to -2.2% change compared to the prior year. Prior guidance called for net sales of approximately $5.163 billion to $5.267 billion.
Adjusted EBITDA(3) in the range of approximately $453 million to $481 million, compared to prior guidance of $465 million to $495 million.
Adjusted diluted EPS(2) of approximately $0.75 to $0.85 per share, compared to prior guidance of $0.80 to $0.90 per share.
 

The company’s outlook is based on the following assumptions:

Depreciation and amortization of approximately $165 million to $170 million.
Net interest expense of approximately $65 million to $70 million.
An effective tax rate of approximately 26%.
Weighted average diluted share count for the year of approximately 213.5 million shares.
Capital expenditures of approximately $115 million to $125 million.

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Highlights

Compared to the prior year second quarter where applicable

Net sales decreased 4.0% to $1.193 billion. Pricing/mix(4) increased 1.8% and volume(5) declined 5.8%.
Branded Retail net sales decreased $31.7 million, or 3.8%, to $794.6 million due to volume declines partially offset by favorable pricing/mix. Pricing/mix(4) rose 3.8%, volume(5) decreased 7.6%.
Other net sales decreased $18.2 million, or 4.4%, to $398.3 million due to inflationary pressure on consumer spending impacting store branded sales. Pricing/mix(4) decreased 1.0% and volume(5) declined 3.4%.
Materials, supplies, labor, and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were 51.6% of net sales, a 40-basis point increase. These costs increased as a percentage of net sales mostly due to lower production volumes and an increase in labor costs and outside purchases of product (sales with no associated ingredient costs). This increase was partially offset by moderating ingredient costs.
Selling, distribution, and administrative (SD&A) expenses were 39.7% of net sales, a 160-basis point increase. SD&A expenses increased as a percentage of net sales due to higher workforce-related and freight costs and increased marketing spend, partially offset by lower distributor distribution fees. Excluding matters affecting comparability, adjusted SD&A(2) was 39.1% of net sales, a 140-basis point increase.
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses were $38.6 million or 3.2% of net sales, flat with last year's second quarter.
Net interest expense decreased $1.3 million primarily due to lower debt balances.
Net income decreased 30.3% to $40.7 million, representing 3.4% of sales, a 130-basis point decrease, and diluted EPS decreased $0.09 to $0.19. Adjusted net income(2) decreased 30.5% to $44.1 million and adjusted diluted EPS(2) decreased $0.09 to $0.21.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) decreased 19.2% to $111.3 million, representing 9.3% of net sales, a 180-basis point decrease.

 

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation, and Capital Return

 

Year-to-date, cash flow from operating activities decreased $24.9 million to $241.5 million, capital expenditures decreased $11.9 million to $44.5 million, and dividends paid to shareholders decreased $23.7 million to $81.0 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $52.8 million at quarter end.

 

(1)
Any reference to sales refers to net sales inclusive of allowances and deductions against gross sales for variable consideration and consideration payable to customers
(2)
Adjusted for items affecting comparability. See reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in the financial statements following this release. Earnings are net income. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to net income.
(3)
No reconciliation of the forecasted range for adjusted EBITDA to net income for the 52-week Fiscal 2026 is included in this press release because the company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
(4)
Calculated as (current year period units X change in price per unit) / prior year period net sales dollars
(5)
Calculated as (prior year period price per unit X change in units) / prior year period net sales dollars

The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor does it necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the company (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the company.

You are advised, however, to consult any further public disclosures by the company (such as in our filings with the SEC or in company press releases) on related subjects.

 


 

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, from time to time, the company may present in its public statements, press releases and SEC filings, non-GAAP financial measures such as, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted selling, distribution and administrative expenses (SD&A), and gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization. The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The company’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Earnings are net income. The company believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for managing the operations of its business and is an indicator of the company’s ability to incur and service indebtedness and generate free cash flow. The company also believes that EBITDA measures are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as measures of a company’s operating performance and debt servicing ability because EBITDA measures assist in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation or amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods and non-operating factors (such as historical cost). EBITDA is also a widely-accepted financial indicator of a company’s ability to incur and service indebtedness.

EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to (a) income from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance; (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the company’s ability to meet its cash needs; or (c) any other indicator of performance or liquidity that has been determined in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted income tax expense and adjusted SD&A, respectively, to exclude additional costs that the company considers important to present to investors to increase the investors’ insights about the company’s core operations. These costs include, but are not limited to, the costs of closing a plant or costs associated with acquisition and integration-related activities, restructuring activities, certain impairment charges, legal settlements, costs to implement an enterprise resource planning system and enhance bakery digital capabilities (business process improvement costs) to provide investors direct insight into these costs, and other costs impacting past and future comparability. The company believes that these measures, when considered together with its GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of its business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of certain charges. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance measure in the company’s incentive compensation program.

Presentation of gross margin includes depreciation and amortization in the materials, supplies, labor and other production costs according to GAAP. Our method of presenting gross margin excludes the depreciation and amortization components, as discussed above.

The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

The table above presents certain sales by category that have been reclassified from amounts previously reported to conform to the current period presentation.

 

^ Includes sales reductions from variable consideration and payments to customers.

 

* Computations above are calculated as follows (the Total column is consolidated and is not adding the Branded Retail and Other columns):

 

      Price/Mix $ = Current year period units × change in price per unit

 

      Price/Mix % = Price/Mix $ ÷ Prior year period Net Sales $

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      Volume $ = Prior year period price per unit × change in units

 

      Volume % = Volume $ ÷ Prior year period Net Sales $
