Executive Summary

Campbell Soup Company reported Q4 2024 revenue of $2.293 billion, reflecting a year-over-year decline of 6.64% and a quarter-over-quarter decrease of 3.21%. Despite top-line softness, gross profit reached $675 million with a margin of 29.44%, while operating income stood at $77 million (3.36% operating margin). The quarter ended with a net loss of $3 million and basic/diluted EPS of βˆ’$0.01, underscoring continued profitability headwinds from input costs, mix effects, and non-operating items. Cash flow remained robust, delivering $288 million of operating cash flow and $147 million of free cash flow, supporting capital allocation actions such as dividends and modest share repurchases. The balance sheet shows solid asset value and a heavy lean on goodwill/intangibles, paired with elevated debt levels, yielding a debt-to-capitalization of 0.665 and net debt of roughly $7.43 billion. Management commentary (where available) typically emphasizes price realization, productivity programs, and portfolio optimization as levers to restore margin, though no formal forward guidance is provided in the data. Investors should consider Campbell’s brand strength and cash generation against ongoing margin pressures and leverage during the near term.
