Freshpet reports Q1 EPS 91c vs. (26c) last year

Reports Q1 revenue $297.6M, consensus $291.53M. “We are encouraged by our strong start to 2026, delivering first quarter sales growth in excess of our 2026 guidance and reinforcing our confidence in Freshpet’s (FRPT) long-term growth opportunity. Our performance reflects the strength of our differentiated product offerings, our manufacturing scale and expertise, our extensive omnichannel marketing and distribution capabilities, and our ability to adapt in a dynamic environment to drive market share gains and lead the growing fresh pet food segment,” commented CEO Billy Cyr. “As strong as our performance is, we remain mindful of ongoing macroeconomic volatility and inflation. We are modestly raising our net sales guidance to reflect our strong start to the year, while balancing broader economic risks. We have a large and expanding addressable market, continued momentum with customers and consumers, and early progress on our operational and technology initiatives. We believe we are well positioned to drive sustainable, profitable growth and long-term value creation while fulfilling our mission to help dogs and cats live longer, happier lives with the people who love them.”
