In the third quarter of 2025, Hershey’s consolidated net sales rose by 6.5% to $3.18 billion, fueled by strong innovation and strategic brand investments. However, the company faced a significant decline in net income, which fell by 38.2% to $276.3 million, primarily due to higher commodity and tariff costs. Despite these challenges, Hershey’s North America Salty Snacks segment showed impressive growth, with a 10% increase in net sales, driven by promotional programming and innovation.
The company’s North America Confectionery segment also experienced a 5.6% increase in net sales, although its segment income declined by 21.2% due to rising costs. Internationally, Hershey saw a 12.1% increase in net sales, although the segment reported a loss due to higher manufacturing costs.
