Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2026-05-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

2. ACQUISITIONS In July 2024, we acquired the manufacturing operations of an existing contract manufacturer of our cooking spray products, for a cash purchase price of $51.2 million, including working capital adjustments. Approximately $46.3 million of the purchase price has been classified as goodwill, which is deductible for income tax purposes. The settlement of certain pre-existing contractual agreements between Conagra and the contract manufacturer as part of the transaction resulted in a net gain of $3.4 million within SG&A expenses in fiscal 2025. In August 2024, we acquired the outstanding equity of Sweetwood Smoke & Co., maker of FATTY smoked meat sticks, for a cash purchase price of $179.4 million, net of cash acquired and including working capital adjustments. Approximately $130.0 million of the purchase price has been classified as goodwill, which is deductible for income tax purposes. Approximately $55.8 million and $5.5 million of the purchase price has been allocated to non-amortizing and amortizing intangible assets, respectively. For each of these acquisitions, the amounts allocated to goodwill were primarily attributable to anticipated synergies, future growth opportunities, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition such as an assembled workforce. The results of each of these acquisitions, subsequent to the acquisition closings, are primarily included in the Grocery & Snacks segment and through May 31, 2026, were not mate …

16. CONTINGENCIES Litigation Matters We are party to a number of matters asserting product liability claims against the Company related to certain Pam and other cooking spray products. We have denied liability, however, we cannot predict with certainty the results of these actions. To date, the Company has settled all but a few of these matters. Pursuant to these settlements, the Company paid $141.1 million in fiscal 2026 and $25 million in fiscal 2025 and has agreed to pay an additional $44.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. In connection with these settlements, the Company has secured insurance recovery from certain applicable insurers, recognizing related insurance receivables of $1.6 million within Receivables as of May 31, 2026 and $81.8 million ($78.4 million within Receivables and $3.4 million within Other assets) as of May 25, 2025. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its Consolidated Financial Statements for all probable and reasonably estimable losses for the litigation related to the cooking spray products based on information available to us at the time of our evaluation. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, a jury entered a verdict against the Company for $25 million in compensatory damages in a lawsuit captioned Esparza v. Conagra Brands, Inc., et al. , in which a consumer claimed personal injury due to alleged exposure to diacetyl from Pam butter flavored cooking spray. An initial judgment on the verdict for $22.9 million was en …

5. CREDIT FACILITIES AND BORROWINGS 2025 Term Loan In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we entered into an unsecured Term Loan Agreement with a financial institution (the 2025 Term Loan Agreement), borrowing an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million (the 2025 Term Loan) which was classified as notes payable within our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 2025 Term Loan matured on October 29, 2025 and bore interest at, based upon the Companys election, either (a) the sum of Term SOFR, plus 0.875% per annum or (b) 0.00% per annum plus the Base Rate, described in the 2025 Term Loan Agreement as the highest of (i) the prime rate in the U.S. published in The Wall Street Journal, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00%. The 2025 Term Loan Agreement allowed the Company to voluntarily prepay loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we prepaid the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the unsecured term loan utilizing a portion of the proceeds received in connection with the sale of our Chef Boyardee business (see Note 7) and proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes (see Note 4). 2024 Term Loan In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we entered into an unsecured Term Loan Agreement with a financial institution (the 2024 Term Loan Agreement), borrowing an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the 2024 Term Loan) w …

13. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS In accordance with stockholder-approved equity incentive plans, we grant stock-based compensation awards, including restricted stock units, performance shares, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock options. The shares delivered upon vesting or lapse of restriction under any such arrangement may consist, in whole or part, of treasury stock or authorized but unissued stock, not reserved for any other purpose. On September 14, 2023, our stockholders approved the Conagra Brands, Inc. 2023 Stock Plan (the Plan). The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 17.4 million shares of Conagra Brands common stock. In addition to the shares under the 2023 Stock Plan, certain shares of Conagra Brands common stock subject to outstanding awards under predecessor stock plans that expire, lapse, are cancelled, terminated, forfeited, otherwise become unexercisable, or are settled for cash are available for issuance.

19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and Level 3 Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values of our Level 2 derivative instruments were determined using valuation models that use market observable inputs including both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent commodity and foreign currency option and forward contracts. The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, as of May 31, 2026: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Derivative assets $ 3.1 $ 1.6 $ $ 4.7 Deferred compensation assets 6.6 6.6 Available-for-sale debt securities 2.0 2.0 Total assets $ 9.7 $ 1.6 $ 2.0 $ 13.3 Liabilities: Derivat …

Pensions and post-retirement benefits · 20,572 characters as filed
18. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS We have defined benefit retirement plans (pension plans) for eligible salaried and hourly employees. Benefits are based on years of credited service and average compensation or stated amounts for each year of service. We also sponsor postretirement plans which provide certain medical and dental benefits to qualifying U.S. employees. Effective August 1, 2013, our defined benefit pension plan for eligible salaried employees was closed to new hire salaried employees. New hire salaried employees will generally be eligible to participate in our defined contribution plan. During fiscal 2026, in connection with the termination and settlement of a pension plan for the benefit of certain hourly employees, we transferred $40.3 million of our U.S. defined benefit pension plan obligations to an insurance company through the purchase of an irrevocable group annuity contract. The group annuity contract was purchased and funded directly from the assets of our pension plans, resulting in an immaterial actuarial loss in other comprehensive income. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a noncash pre-tax settlement loss of $2.7 million in pension and postretirement non-service income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. During fiscal 2025, we transferred $760.6 million of our U.S. defined benefit pension plan obligations to an insurance company through the purchase of an irrevocable group annuity contract (the U.S. buy-out contract).

3. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES Optimization and Transformation Initiatives We regularly evaluate our operations for ways to increase efficiencies and optimize our investments. Initiatives designed to achieve our efficiency goals may take a year or more to complete and result in various restructuring charges as a result of accelerated depreciation, asset write-offs, and exit costs including severance, lease and other contract termination charges, and disposal costs. In fiscal 2026, we approved initiatives designed to optimize and enhance our supply chain network related to our frozen fried chicken products. We expect these initiatives will result in approximately $34 million of restructuring charges within the Refrigerated & Frozen segment, of which approximately $12 million will be cash. These charges are expected to consist of approximately $22 million of accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs and $12 million of other costs within SG&A. We recognized charges of $13.4 million in fiscal 2026, which is also the cumulative amount incurred to date. We expect these initiatives to be completed by the end of fiscal 2028. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2026, management approved a multi-year transformation initiative (Project Catalyst) that seeks to simplify and modernize our operations through process redesign, technology adoption, and organizational optimization to accelerate growth, improve productivity, and enhance cash flow performance.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Fiscal Year The fiscal year of Conagra Brands, Inc. (Conagra Brands, Company, we, us, or our) ends the last Sunday in May. The fiscal years for the consolidated financial statements presented consist of a 53-week period for fiscal 2026 and 52-week periods for fiscal 2025 and 2024. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Conagra Brands, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany investments, accounts, and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates The investments in, and the operating results of, 50%-or-less-owned entities not required to be consolidated are included in the consolidated financial statements on the basis of the equity method of accounting. We review our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be fully recoverable. Evidence of a loss in value that is other than temporary includes the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment, the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment, or, where applicable, estimated sales proceeds which are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the investment. Managements assessment as to whether any decline in value is other than temporary is based on our …

2. ACQUISITIONS In July 2024, we acquired the manufacturing operations of an existing contract manufacturer of our cooking spray products, for a cash purchase price of $51.2 million, including working capital adjustments. Approximately $46.3 million of the purchase price has been classified as goodwill, which is deductible for income tax purposes. The settlement of certain pre-existing contractual agreements between Conagra and the contract manufacturer as part of the transaction resulted in a net gain of $3.4 million within selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in fiscal 2025. In August 2024, we acquired the outstanding equity of Sweetwood Smoke & Co., maker of FATTY smoked meat sticks, for a cash purchase price of $179.4 million, net of cash acquired and including working capital adjustments. Approximately $130.0 million of the purchase price has been classified as goodwill, which is deductible for income tax purposes. Approximately $55.8 million and $5.5 million of the purchase price has been allocated to non-amortizing and amortizing intangible assets, respectively. For each of these acquisitions, the amounts allocated to goodwill were primarily attributable to anticipated synergies, future growth opportunities, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition such as an assembled workforce. The results of each of these acquisitions, subsequent to the acquisition closings, are primarily included in the Grocery & Snacks segment a …

13. CONTINGENCIES Litigation Matters We are party to a number of matters asserting product liability claims against the Company related to certain Pam and other cooking spray products. We have denied liability, however, we cannot predict with certainty the results of these actions. To date, the Company has settled all but a few of these matters. Pursuant to these settlements, the Company has paid an aggregate of $141.1 million in fiscal 2026 through February 22, 2026 and $25 million in fiscal 2025 and has agreed to pay an additional $44.3 million in the remainder of fiscal 2026 and the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The Company has secured insurance recovery from certain applicable insurers, recognizing related insurance receivables of $1.6 million within Receivables as of February 22, 2026 and $81.8 million ($78.4 million within Receivables and $3.4 million within Other assets) as of May 25, 2025. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all probable and reasonably estimable losses for this litigation based on information available to us at the time of our evaluation. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, a jury entered a verdict against the Company for $25 million in compensatory damages in a lawsuit captioned Esparza v. Conagra Brands, Inc., et al ., in which a consumer claims personal injury due to alleged exposure to diacetyl from Pam butter flavored cooking spray. We are contesting the verdict, and a fina …

Fair value · 4,698 characters as filed
16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and Level 3 Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values of our Level 2 derivative instruments were determined using valuation models that use market observable inputs including both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent commodity and foreign currency option and forward contracts. The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, as of February 22, 2026: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Net Value Assets: Derivative assets $ 3.4 $ 1.8 $ $ 5.2 Deferred compensation assets 6.5 6.5 Available-for-sale debt securities 2.0 2.0 Total assets $ 9.9 $ 1.8 $ 2.0 $ 13.7 Liabilities …

12. INCOME TAXES In the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $29.8 million and $43.9 million, respectively. The effective tax rate (calculated as the ratio of income tax expense to pre-tax income, inclusive of equity method investment earnings) was 13.0% and 23.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $162.7 million and an income tax benefit of $33.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was (119.2)% and (3.9)% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 reflected a benefit of $35.2 million related to certain elections made on an income tax return of a joint venture and expense of $11.1 million related to a prior divestiture. The effective tax rate in the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 reflected the above-cited items, as well as the impact of an impairment of goodwill in the second quarter that was largely non-deductible for tax purposes. During this time period, goodwill impairment charges totaling $771.3 million with an associated tax benefit of $19.3 million were recognized. Additionally, the effective tax rate was negatively impacted by non-deductible goodwill related to the divestiture of the Chef Boyardee , Mrs. Pauls , and Van de Kamps businesses. This resulted in $62.8 million of tax expense being recognized on a pre-tax gain …
