Post Holdings Corporate Events
On February 3, 2026, Post Holdings’ board appointed Michelle M. Atkinson and former longtime executive Jeff A. Zadoks as directors, effective March 15, 2026, expanding the board to nine members; Atkinson was deemed independent under NYSE rules, while Zadoks, who retired from the company in January 2026, was not, and both will serve until the 2027 annual shareholder meeting under the standard non-employee director compensation and indemnification framework. The board also replaced its existing buyback authority with a new two-year, $500 million share repurchase authorization effective February 7, 2026, after having already spent roughly $378 million of the prior $500 million program by February 4, signaling continued capital return to shareholders even as repurchased shares are retained as treasury stock and the company retains flexibility to adjust the pace of repurchases. For the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, Post reported a 10.1% year-over-year increase in net sales to $2.17 billion and an 11.3% rise in operating profit to $238.4 million, driven largely by acquisitions and strong Foodservice and Weetabix performance, though net earnings fell 14.6% to $96.8 million amid higher interest costs and a larger loss on debt extinguishment. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 13.1% to $418.2 million, and Post raised its fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of $1.55 billion to $1.58 billion, underscoring management’s confidence in improved profitability despite volume pressures in legacy cereal and pet food, flat refrigerated retail sales and a heavier debt burden, while shareholders saw aggressive buybacks continue in and after the quarter, with 5.5 million shares repurchased for more than $550 million through early February 2026.
