Forward guidance
Looking ahead to our fiscal third quarter, we anticipate Retail sales will continue to benefit from our expanding licensing program while, in the Foodservice segment, we expect continued volume growth from select quick-service restaurant customers. Cost inflation will remain a headwind to our financial results, but the pricing actions we have in place along with our cost savings initiatives are expected to offset the increased costs.
Tailwinds
- Retail sales will benefit from expanding licensing program.
- Foodservice segment expects continued volume growth.
- Pricing actions in place.
- Cost savings initiatives are expected to offset increased costs.
- Ramp up of dressing and sauce production at Horse Cave plant will continue
Headwinds
- Cost inflation will remain a headwind.
- Complexities related to the implementation of our new enterprise resource planning system
- Dependence on contract manufacturers, distributors and freight transporters, including their operational capacity and financial strength in continuing to support our business
- Adequate supply of labor for our manufacturing facilities
- Significant shifts in consumer demand and disruptions to our employees, communities, customers, supply chains, production planning, operations, and production processes resulting from the impacts of COVID-19 and other epidemics, pandemics or similar widespread public health concerns and disease outbreaks
