Consistent Year-Over-Year Growth
Tyson Foods marked its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth across sales, adjusted operating income, and adjusted earnings per share. Second quarter adjusted operating income increased by more than $100 million, or 27% compared to last year, with a 70 basis point margin expansion.
Strong Performance in Chicken Segment
The Chicken segment delivered its best second quarter adjusted operating income in nine years, with income nearly doubling compared to the same quarter last year, driven by strong operational execution and lower grain costs.
Prepared Foods Segment Profitability
Prepared Foods delivered double-digit margins, expanding by 50 basis points versus the prior year. Operational improvements led to line and labor efficiencies increasing by 250 and 280 basis points respectively.
Innovation and Brand Recognition
The Jimmy Dean chicken biscuits won the 2024 Circada Pacesetter Award for new product of the year, and new innovations like the chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit were launched. Tyson's brands continue to resonate with consumers, driving long-term value.
