Forward guidance
For fiscal 2021, USDA indicates domestic protein production (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) should increase approximately 1% from fiscal 2020 levels. We expect net interest expense to approximate $440 million for fiscal 2021.
Tailwinds
- USDA projects domestic production will increase approximately 3% in fiscal 2021 as compared to a COVID-19 impacted fiscal 2020 for beef.
- We also expect ample supplies in regions where we operate our plants for beef.
- USDA projects domestic production will increase approximately 1% in fiscal 2021 as compared to a COVID-19 impacted fiscal 2020 for pork.
- USDA projects a relatively flat to slightly increased outlook for chicken production in fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020.
- We expect improved results from our foreign operations in fiscal 2021.
Headwinds
- The challenges are anticipated to increase our operating costs and negatively impact our volumes for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and into fiscal 2021.
- Operationally, we have faced and expect to continue to face capacity utilization slowdowns in production facilities from team member absenteeism and choices we make to ensure team member health and safety.
- Each of our segments has also experienced a shift in demand from foodservice to retail; however, the volume increases in retail have not been sufficient to offset the losses in foodservice and as a result, we expect decreases in volumes in the last quarter of fiscal 2020 in our Chicken and Prepared Foods segments.
- Due to the inability to reasonably quantify the total impact of COVID-19 to our operations, we are not currently providing segment adjusted operating margin guidance.
- We expect net interest expense to approximate $470 million for fiscal 2020.
