Earnings Call Summary

Campbell beat EPS by one penny but missed revenue by $39 million in the quarter. The big problem is Snacks, where the segment margin dropped to 7 percent, down 390 basis points, due to a 6 percent sales decline and deleverage in manufacturing and distribution from Fresh Bakery execution failures that began before the winter storm. RAO'S in Meals and Beverages grew 14.5 percent, driving strong consumption in Q2, but that growth is not expected to sustain. Management is shifting marketing dollars to promotional pricing on chips and pretzels to compete, investing $100 million in overhead cuts, and suspending share buybacks to focus on debt reduction as leverage sits above four times.

Guidance Management reaffirmed full year earnings guidance of about $0.90 per share but provided no new revenue or near-term sales forecast. They expect Snacks to decline about 4 percent in the second half of the year, with Fresh Bakery challenges to persist into Q3 before improving in Q4. Meals and Beverages is expected to see flat to down 1 percent consumption in the back half after strong Q2 driven by holiday demand and RAO'S growth.

Very weak report. The release materially worsened the forward outlook.

Dividend

The Campbell's Company offers an annual dividend rate of $1.56, yielding 6.84% based on current prices. The dividend payout ratio is 76.47%, reflecting the company's commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
