• Q3 adjusted EBITDA was $26 million with adjusted gross margin at 21%, showing sequential margin improvement but a year‑over‑year decline in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income.
• Management emphasized an accelerating innovation pipeline and early wins (notably Greek Gods yogurt, wellness tea, and new high‑protein/single‑serve SKUs) expected to drive share gains and longer‑term growth.
• International results remained weak with organic net sales down ~8% and significant margin compression driven by volume softness in baby/purees, spreads/drizzles, and branded soup versus private label competition.
• The company is executing a strategic review (including potential additional asset sales and operational moves) to deleverage ahead of a December debt maturity and will provide updates only when definitive actions are completed.
