Cash and cash equivalents at period end were $24.5M, with net working capital of $27.8M.
Gross profit margin declined to 10% from 15% due to higher commodity costs, especially beef and beef trimmings.
Outlook and guidance
Inflationary pressures on beef and labor are expected to persist, impacting margins for the remainder of fiscal 2026.
The merger with Smithfield Foods is expected to close in the first half of 2026, pending regulatory and shareholder approvals.
Management expects to fund operations, debt service, dividends, and potential share repurchases from operating cash flow.
The company projects continued volatility in commodity and labor costs, with the ability to offset some increases through pricing actions.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
