The Campbell's Company ( CPB ) fell sharply on Thursday after missing revenue estimates with its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report. The food company said top-line softness and inflation-driven margin headwinds were factors during the quarter, Net sales decreased 8% to $2.1B, including an estimated 7-point impact from the extra week in the prior year period. Organic net sales decreased 1% driven primarily by lower volume/mix. Adjusted gross profit decreased 14% to $611M. Adjusted gross profit margin decreased 190 basis points to 28.6%, driven primarily by cost inflation and other supply chain costs, inclusive of the impact from tariffs, partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements. Adjusted EBIT decreased 25% to $242M primarily due to lower adjusted gross profit. Adjusted EPS decreased 37% to $0.39 per share, reflecting the lower adjusted EBIT.
