Filing evidence summary

Mixed evidenceCoverage 5/5 core metrics

Operating margin changed -1.4 percentage points from the prior annual period.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • Operating margin compressed

    Operating margin changed -1.4 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2026-05-31.

  • No current rule-based risk flags

    10 filing-based checks were evaluable.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +2.5% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2026-05-31.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $540M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2026-05-31.

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.

Per 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. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

During fiscal 2026, we also undertook additional restructuring actions, including the permanent closure of certain production facilities to improve asset utilization in our International segment, and completed sales of certain non-core assets as part of our Focus to Win strategy, a strategic plan we announced in July 2025 to focus on four pillars including (1) prioritizing markets and channels, (2) strengthening customer partnerships, (3) achieving executional excellence and (4) setting the pace for industry-leading innovation. This strategic plan includes our Cost Savings Program. The restructuring activities undertaken in connection with our initiatives, including the Cost Savings Program and Restructuring Plan, are referred to collectively as the Plans. Amounts classified as Cost Savings Program and Restructuring expenses on our Consolidated Statement of Earnings for fiscal 2026 primarily relate to costs associated with the Cost Savings Program, restructuring activities related to facility closures to improve asset utilization, and net gains related to certain non-core asset sales. Expenses recorded in fiscal 2025 relate solely to the Restructuring Plan.

Segment reporting · 12,128 characters as filed

SEGMENTS We manage operations in two geographical 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 chief operating decision maker group (the CODM group) is made up of our executive chair and president and chief executive officer. The CODM group receives periodic management reports under our segment structure. The Company measures profit or loss for each reportable segment using segment adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains and losses (which are a component of both cost of goods sold 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 expense), and co

Subsequent events · 766 characters as filed

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On June 1, 2026, our Board committed to a plan to close our manufacturing facility in Broekhuizenvorst, The Netherlands. The contemplated closure is intended to improve operational efficiency and better align our global manufacturing footprint with customer needs. In connection with the planned facility closure, we expect to incur total pre-tax charges of approximately $80 million to $110 million, substantially all of which are expected to be recognized in our fiscal year ending May 30, 2027. We estimate at least 20% of these charges will result in future cash expenditures. The charges primarily relate to the write-down of long-lived assets and inventory, employee severance and other one-time termination benefits, and other related costs.

Restructuring · 3,724 characters as filed

COST SAVINGS PROGRAM AND RESTRUCTURING We announced a cost savings program (the Cost Savings Program) in July 2025 and a restructuring plan (the Restructuring Plan) in October 2024. During fiscal 2026, we also undertook additional restructuring actions, including the permanent closure of certain production facilities to improve asset utilization in our International segment, and completed sales of certain non-core assets as part of our Focus to Win strategy. The restructuring activities undertaken in connection with these initiatives, including the Cost Savings Program and Restructuring Plan, are referred to collectively as the Plans. Amounts classified as Cost Savings Program and Restructuring expenses on our Consolidated Statement of Earnings for fiscal 2026 primarily relate to costs associated with the Cost Savings Program, restructuring activities related to facility closures to improve asset utilization, and net gains related to certain non-core asset sales. Expenses recorded in fiscal 2025 relate solely to the Restructuring Plan. We expect to recognize approximately $20 million of charges during the remainder of fiscal 2026 and $25 million to $50 million in fiscal 2027 in connection with the Plans. For the thirteen weeks ended February 22, 2026, we recorded $55.5 million of pre-tax charges, of which $9.0 million were cash and $46.5 million were non-cash. For the thirty-nine weeks ended February 22, 2026, we recorded $101.5 million of pre-tax charges, of which $55.1 mill

Segment reporting · 9,207 characters as filed

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 compo
