NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by Tyson Foods, Inc. (“Tyson,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Although we believe the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024. Preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature necessary to state fairly our financial position as of March 29, 2025 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024. Results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Consolidation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as majority-owned subsidiaries over which we exercise control and, when applicable, entities for which we have a controlling financial interest or variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Our goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are evaluated for impairment by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative test is necessary. If it is determined, based on qualitative factors, the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite life intangible asset may more likely than not be less than the carrying amount, or if significant changes to macro-economic factors have occurred that could materially impact fair value, a quantitative impairment test would be required. The quantitative test is to identify if a potential impairment exists by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite life intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit or indefinite life intangible asset exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill or the indefinite life intangible asset.

Our qualitative assessment for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2025 did not indicate that it was more likely than not the fair value of any of our reporting units or indefinite life intangible assets was less than the carrying amount, and as such, no quantitative test was deemed necessary. We consider reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets that have 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount to have a heightened risk of impairment. The following reporting units and indefinite life intangible asset were considered at heightened risk of impairment as of the date of the most recent estimated fair value determination, which was in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024: our Chicken segment reporting units and our Beef reporting unit with goodwill totaling $3.0 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, and one Prepared Foods brand with a carrying value of $0.5 billion.

Some of the inherent estimates and assumptions used in determining fair value of the reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets are outside the control of management, including interest rates, cost of capital, tax rates, market EBITDA comparables and credit ratings. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of the reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If our actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used to calculate fair value, it could result in material impairments of our goodwill or indefinite life intangible assets.

Use of Estimates

The consolidated condensed financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued authoritative guidance to disclose certain additional expense information including, among other items, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included within each Consolidated Statement of Income expense caption. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, our fiscal 2028, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, our fiscal 2029. Amendments can be applied using either the prospective or the retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the SEC issued a final rule that will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rule is effective for annual reporting periods beginning in 2025, our fiscal 2026, and will be applied prospectively. However, the SEC has issued a stay on the final rule due to legal challenges, and the effective date has been delayed indefinitely. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, our fiscal 2026 and will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to improve the disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, our fiscal 2025, and interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, our fiscal 2026. Amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2023, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to address issues related to arrangements between entities under common control such as terms and conditions an entity should consider for determining whether a lease exists and the classification and accounting for that lease as well as accounting for leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, our fiscal 2025 and can be applied using either the prospective or retrospective approach. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued guidance that requires additional disclosures for supplier finance programs to allow users to better understand the nature, activity and potential magnitude of the programs. The guidance, except for a requirement for rollforward information, is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, our fiscal 2024. Disclosure of rollforward information is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, our fiscal 2025. Early adoption is permitted and the retrospective transition method should be applied for all amendments except rollforward information, which should be applied prospectively. We elected to early adopt the initial disclosure requirement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2: INVENTORIES

Processed products, livestock and supplies and other are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes purchased raw materials, live purchase costs, growout costs (primarily feed, livestock grower pay and catch and haul costs), labor and manufacturing and production overhead, which are related to the purchase and production of inventories. At March 29, 2025, the cost of inventories was determined by either the first-in, first-out method or the weighted-average method, which is consistent with the methods used at September 28, 2024. Inventories are presented net of lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments of $132 million and $115 million as of March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024, respectively.

The following table reflects the major components of inventory (in millions):


	March 29, 2025		September 28, 2024

NOTE 5: RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

Network Optimization Plan

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company initiated a network optimization plan to optimize our global operations and logistics network. We are reporting on actions approved through the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025, including the estimated amounts for each major category of costs, as we are currently unable to make an estimate of the cost of the entire network optimization plan. We expect to incur costs related to the network optimization plan over a multi-year period. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company approved additional actions which increased the estimated charges related to actions approved through March 29, 2025, by $23 million, which were all recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and included asset write-offs and severance and related costs in the Chicken segment and International/Other.

We recognized charges of $43 million and $116 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively, related to the network optimization plan, which primarily included the closure of two facilities in the Prepared Foods segment, a non-harvesting facility closure in the Beef segment and asset write-offs in the Chicken segment and International/Other. All estimated charges related to actions approved through March 29, 2025 have been recognized and included $47 million that have resulted or will result in cash outflows and $69 million of non-cash charges for the first six months of fiscal 2025. We expect to incur additional charges in the future as additional actions are approved.

The following table reflects pretax expenses related to the network optimization plan in the first six months of fiscal 2025 (in millions):


	Beef		Pork		Chicken		Prepared Foods		International/Other		Total
Cost of Sales:
Severance and related costs	$	6	$	—	$	7	$	2	$	2	$	17
Accelerated depreciation	38		—		1		—		—		39
Asset write-offs	3		—		22		23		9		57
Other	1		—		—		—		—		1
Total Cost of Sales	$	48	$	—	$	30	$	25	$	11	$	114

Total Selling, General and Administrative	$	—	$	—	$	2	$	—	$	—	$	2

Total	$	48	$	—	$	32	$	25	$	11	$	116

As of March 29, 2025, there was $39 million of network optimization plan liability, net of $3 million of payments during fiscal 2025.

In April 2025, following a strategic review of our domestic logistics and storage network, the Company approved a plan to execute various long-term cold storage service agreements and the sale of multiple Tyson-owned and operated distribution centers (the "Facilities"). The approval of this plan will result in the respective assets being classified as held for sale in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 with anticipated closings to occur during the second half of fiscal 2025. The carrying value of the Facilities' property, plant and equipment as of March 29, 2025 approximated $200 million. Total proceeds from the sales are estimated to be approximately $250 million to $300 million.

As a part of these agreements, we will leaseback the Facilities for various periods ranging from approximately one to three years. Additionally, we anticipate entering into long-term cold storage service agreements associated with several fully automated cold storage facilities. We expect this will reduce network complexity, streamline inventory flow, simplify processes and reduce operating expenses. We do not currently anticipate any material disposal costs. Any resulting net gain or loss will primarily impact our Chicken and Prepared Foods segments as the Facilities predominately support the operations of those segments.

Plant Closures and Disposals

During fiscal 2023, the Company approved the closure of six Chicken segment processing facilities and during the first half of fiscal 2024, approved the closure of two case ready value-added plants in our Beef segment and a processing facility in our Pork segment to optimize asset utilization. We shifted production to other facilities and ceased operations at these Chicken facilities throughout fiscal 2023 and the first quarter of fiscal 2024, shifted production and ceased operations at our Columbia and Jacksonville facilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and shifted production and ceased operations at our Perry facility during the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

As a result of the plant closures and disposals, we recorded $23 million of additional charges in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 related to contract termination costs, which will result in cash outflows, and $39 million and $114 million of charges in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, primarily related to accelerated depreciation, severance, retention and related costs. The charges are reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in Cost of Sales. Included in the results for the first six months of fiscal 2024 are $2 million of charges that have resulted or will result in cash outflows and $112 million of non-cash charges.

The following table reflects our liability related to plant closures as of March 29, 2025 (in millions):


	Balance at September 28, 2024		Plant Closure Charges		Payments		Balance at March 29, 2025
Contract termination	$	98	$	23	$	(13)	$	108
Severance and retention	5		—		(4)		1
Total	$	103	$	23	$	(17)	$	109

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we experienced a fire at a production facility in the Netherlands which is included in International/Other for segment presentation, and subsequently approved the sale of the facility. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, these charges totaled $54 million and $80 million, respectively, primarily related to property, plant and equipment impairments, severance costs, inventory write-offs and clean-up costs, partially offset by insurance proceeds. The net charges are reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in Cost of Sales and, for the first six months of fiscal 2024, included $32 million of charges that have resulted or will result in cash outflows and $53 million of non-cash charges, offset by $5 million of insurance proceeds.

We continue to strategically evaluate optimization of such items as network capacity, manufacturing efficiencies and business technology. If we have a significant change in strategies, outlook, or a manner in which we plan to use these assets, we may experience future charges.

Revolving Credit Facility and Letters of Credit

We have a $2.25 billion revolving credit facility that supports short-term funding needs and serves as a backstop to our commercial paper program. The facility will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate in September 2026 with options for two one-year extensions. At March 29, 2025, amounts available for borrowing under this facility totaled $2.25 billion and we had no outstanding borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility. At March 29, 2025 we had $93 million of bilateral letters of credit issued separately from the revolving credit facility, none of which were drawn upon. Our letters of credit are issued primarily in support of workers’ compensation insurance programs and other legal obligations. In the future, if any of our subsidiaries shall guarantee any of our material indebtedness, such subsidiary shall be required to guarantee the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under this facility.

On April 15, 2025, subsequent to the end of our second quarter of fiscal 2025, we terminated our existing revolving credit facility and entered into a new $2.5 billion revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility will mature, and the commitments thereunder will terminate, in April 2030 with options for two one-year extensions. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, we have the option to establish incremental commitment increases of up to an aggregate amount of $500 million if certain conditions are met. The covenants and other terms of the new facility are generally consistent with those of the terminated facility.

Commercial Paper Program

We have a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured short-term promissory notes up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of $1.5 billion. As of March 29, 2025, we had no commercial paper outstanding. Our ability to access commercial paper in the future may be limited or its costs increased.

In April 2025, subsequent to the end of our second quarter of fiscal 2025, we increased the aggregate maximum principal amount to $1.75 billion in conjunction with the execution of the new revolving credit facility.

5.40% 2029 Notes/5.70% 2034 Notes

In March 2024, we issued senior unsecured notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, consisting of $600 million due March 2029 ("5.40% 2029 Notes") and $900 million due March 2034 ("5.70% 2034 Notes"). A portion of the net proceeds from the issuances were used to repay $250 million of the amount outstanding under our term loan facility due May 2026, and we used the remainder of the proceeds to retire the August 2024 notes. Interest payments on the 5.40% 2029 Notes and 5.70% 2034 Notes are due semi-annually on March 15 and September 15, beginning September 15, 2024. After the original issue discounts of $3 million, we received net proceeds of $1,497 million and incurred debt issuance costs of $14 million related to the issuances.

Term Loan Facilities

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we borrowed the full $750 million available under a term loan facility that matures in May 2028 and used it to repay $592 million of outstanding commercial paper obligations. This term loan may be prepaid under certain conditions and contain covenants that are similar to those contained in the revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we repaid a $750 million term loan due May 2026 using cash on hand.

Debt Covenants

Our revolving credit and term loan facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit or restrict our ability to: create liens and encumbrances; incur debt; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions and investments; dispose of or transfer assets; change the nature of our business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and enter into hedging transactions, in each case, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. In addition, we are required to maintain a minimum interest expense coverage ratio.

Our senior notes also contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit or restrict our ability to: create liens; engage in certain sale/leaseback transactions; and engage in certain consolidations, mergers and sales of assets.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants at March 29, 2025.

NOTE 7: EQUITY

Share Repurchases

As of March 29, 2025, 7.3 million shares remained available for repurchase under the Company's share repurchase program. The program has no fixed or scheduled termination date, and the timing and extent to which we repurchase shares will depend upon, among other things, our working capital needs, markets, industry conditions, liquidity targets, limitations under our debt obligations and regulatory requirements. In addition to the share repurchase program, we purchase shares on the open market to fund certain obligations under our equity compensation plans. A summary of share repurchases of our Class A stock is as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates were 51.0% and 26.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 25.1% and 28.0% for the first six months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. In all periods presented, the effective tax rates were higher than the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to state taxes, partially offset by various tax benefits. The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 were also increased by the impact of net unfavorable permanent book-to-tax differences and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2025 was decreased by the release of a $9 million valuation allowance on losses related to a production facility fire in the Netherlands and our subsequent decision to sell the facility. The release of the valuation allowance was due to tax legislation enacted in the Netherlands in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 were higher than the federal statutory tax rate due to the impact of foreign losses for which a tax benefit cannot be recognized.

Unrecognized tax benefits were $157 million and $151 million at March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024, respectively.

In December 2021, we received an assessment from the Mexican tax authorities related to the 2015 sale of our direct and indirect equity interests in subsidiaries which held our Mexico operations. The assessment totals approximately $447 million (9.1 billion Mexican pesos), which includes tax, inflation adjustment, interest and penalties as of March 29, 2025. Additionally, the purchaser in the transaction also received an assessment from the Mexican tax authorities related to the sale of the indirect equity interests, which was affirmed in January 2025 by a circuit court in Mexico, but remains subject to potential further judicial review under a petition filed by the purchaser. The transaction agreement contains certain mutual indemnification provisions, and both parties have provided notice of indemnification claims to the other party. The purchaser has not indicated the total amount it seeks in indemnification from us in its notice of indemnification claim. We believe any final assessment levied against and collected from the purchaser should prohibit potential assessment against us related to the sale of these same indirect equity interests because the Mexican tax authorities cannot collect twice for the same alleged underlying tax liability. We do not reasonably expect that the total amount sought in indemnification could exceed our assessment total at this time. In addition, we further believe the assertions made in the assessment against us with respect to the sale of both our direct and indirect equity interests have no merit and will defend our positions through the Mexican administrative appeal process and litigation, if necessary. Based on our analysis of our assessment in accordance with FASB guidance related to unrecognized tax benefits, we have not recorded a liability related to our assessment. Additionally, we have not recorded a liability for the indemnification claim from the purchaser, because we do not believe a loss is probable, or that a range of possible loss, if any, is reasonably estimable at this time, because we believe we have valid and meritorious defenses against the claim.

NOTE 9: EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except per share data):

Approximately 6 million of our stock-based compensation shares were antidilutive for the three and six months ended March 29, 2025, respectively. Approximately 7 million of our stock-based compensation shares were antidilutive for the three and six months ended March 30, 2024. These shares were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

We have two classes of capital stock, Class A stock and Class B stock. Cash dividends cannot be paid to holders of Class B stock unless they are simultaneously paid to holders of Class A stock. The per share amount of cash dividends paid to holders of Class B stock cannot exceed 90% of the cash dividends paid to holders of Class A stock.

We allocate undistributed earnings (losses) based upon a 1.0 to 0.9 ratio per share to Class A stock and Class B stock, respectively. We allocate undistributed earnings based on this ratio due to historical dividend patterns, voting control of Class B shareholders and contractual limitations of dividends to Class B stock.

NOTE 10: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our business operations give rise to certain market risk exposures mostly due to changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We manage a portion of these risks through the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Our risk management programs are periodically reviewed by our Board of Directors’ Audit Committee. These programs and risks are monitored by senior management and may be revised as market conditions dictate. Our current risk management programs utilize various industry-standard models that take into account the implicit cost of hedging. Credit risks associated with our derivative contracts are not significant as we minimize counterparty exposure by dealing with credit-worthy counterparties and utilizing exchange traded instruments, margin accounts or letters of credit. Additionally, our derivative contracts are mostly short-term in duration and we generally do not make use of credit-risk-related contingent features. No significant concentrations of credit risk existed at March 29, 2025.

We had the following net aggregated outstanding notional amounts related to our derivative financial instruments:


in millions, except soybean meal tons	Metric	March 29, 2025		September 28, 2024
Commodity:
Corn	Bushels	90		29

Live Cattle	Pounds	741		136
Lean Hogs	Pounds	174		351
Foreign Currency	United States dollar	$	244	$	245

We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, with the exception of normal purchases and normal sales expected to result in physical delivery. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, we designate the hedging instrument based upon the exposure being hedged (e.g., cash flow hedge or fair value hedge). We designate certain forward contracts as follows:

•Cash Flow Hedges – include certain commodity forward and option contracts of forecasted purchases (e.g., grains), interest rate swaps and locks and certain foreign exchange forward contracts

•Fair Value Hedges – include certain commodity forward contracts of firm commitments (e.g., livestock)

Cash Flow Hedges

Derivative instruments are designated as hedges against changes in the amount of future cash flows related to procurement of certain commodities utilized in our production processes as well as interest rates to our variable rate debt. For the derivative instruments we designate and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Based on market prices as of March 29, 2025, we have net pretax losses of $4 million for our commodity contracts, which are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. Additionally, we have $10 million of realized losses related to treasury rate locks in connection with the issuance of the 2026, 2029 and 2048 Notes, which will be reclassified to earnings over the lives of these notes. During the three and six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, we did not reclassify significant pretax gains or losses into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges. The following table sets forth the pretax impact of cash flow hedge derivative instruments recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (in millions):




	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Commodity contracts	$	(7)	$	—	$	(15)	$	—

Fair Value Hedges

We designate certain derivative contracts as fair value hedges of firm commitments to purchase livestock for harvest. Our objective of these hedges is to minimize the risk of changes in fair value created by fluctuations in commodity prices associated with fixed price livestock firm commitments. For these derivative instruments we designate and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in earnings in the same period. We include the gain or loss on the hedged items (e.g., livestock purchase firm commitments) in the same line item, Cost of Sales, as the offsetting gain or loss on the related livestock forward position. Ineffectiveness related to fair value hedges was not significant for the three and six months ended March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024. The following table sets forth the carrying amount of fair value hedge (assets) liabilities as of March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024 (in millions):

Undesignated Positions

In addition to our designated positions, we also hold derivative contracts for which we do not apply hedge accounting. These include certain derivative instruments related to commodities price risk, including grains, livestock, energy and foreign currency risk. We mark these positions to fair value through earnings at each reporting date.

Reclassification to Earnings

(a) Amounts represent gains/(losses) on commodity contracts designated as fair value hedges of firm commitments that were realized during the period presented, which were offset by a corresponding gain/(loss) on the underlying hedged inventory. Gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of unrealized commodity contracts, along with the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged inventory, are also marked-to-market through earnings with no impact on a net basis.

The fair value of all outstanding derivative instruments in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets are included in Note 11: Fair Value Measurements.

NOTE 11: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

•Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;

•Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

•Inputs derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair values (in millions):

(a) Our derivative assets and liabilities are presented in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets on a net basis when a legally enforceable master netting arrangement exists between the counterparty to a derivative contract and us. Additionally, at March 29, 2025, and September 28, 2024, we had $122 million and $54 million, respectively, of net cash collateral with various counterparties where master netting arrangements exist and held no cash collateral.

The following table provides a reconciliation between the beginning and ending balance of marketable debt securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the table above that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in millions):

Total gains (losses) for the six month period included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to assets and liabilities still held at end of period	$	—	$	—

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Our derivative financial instruments primarily include exchange-traded and over-the-counter contracts which are further described in Note 10: Derivative Financial Instruments. We record our derivative financial instruments at fair value using quoted market prices, adjusted where necessary for credit and non-performance risk and internal models that use readily observable market inputs as their basis, including current and forward market prices and rates. We classify these instruments in Level 2 when quoted market prices can be corroborated utilizing observable current and forward commodity market prices on active exchanges or observable market transactions.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Our investments in marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value based on pricing models and quoted market prices adjusted for credit and non-performance risk. Short-term investments with maturities of less than 12 months are included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. All other marketable debt securities are included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and have maturities ranging up to 45 years.

We classify our investments in U.S. government, U.S. agency, certificates of deposit and commercial paper debt securities as Level 2 as fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow models that are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value and yield curve as well as other readily available relevant economic measures. We classify certain corporate, asset-backed and other debt securities as Level 3 as there is limited activity or less observable inputs into valuation models, including current interest rates and estimated prepayment, default and recovery rates on the underlying portfolio or structured investment vehicle. Significant changes to assumptions or unobservable inputs in the valuation of our Level 3 instruments would not have a significant impact to our consolidated condensed financial statements.

The following table sets forth our available-for-sale securities’ amortized cost basis, fair value and unrealized gain (loss) by significant investment category (in millions):


	March 29, 2025						September 28, 2024
	Amortized Cost Basis		Fair Value		Unrealized Gain (Loss)		Amortized Cost Basis		Fair Value		Unrealized Gain (Loss)
Available-for-sale securities:
Debt securities:
U.S. treasury and agency	$	91	$	89	$	(2)	$	86	$	85	$	(1)

Corporate and asset-backed	25		25		—		28		28		—

Unrealized holding gains (losses), net of tax, are excluded from earnings and reported in OCI until the security is settled or sold. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate whether losses related to our available-for-sale securities are due to credit or non-credit factors. Losses on debt securities where we have the intent, or will more than likely be required, to sell the security prior to recovery, would be recorded as a direct write-off of amortized cost basis through earnings. Losses on debt securities where we do not have the intent, or would not more than likely be required to sell the security prior to recovery, would be further evaluated to determine whether the loss is credit or non-credit related. Credit-related losses would be recorded through an allowance for credit losses through earnings and non-credit related losses through OCI.

We consider many factors in determining whether a loss is credit-related, including the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, borrower repayment characteristics for asset-backed securities, and our ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery. We recognized no direct write-offs or allowances for credit losses in earnings for the six months ended March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024.

Deferred Compensation Assets

We maintain non-qualified deferred compensation plans for certain executives and other highly compensated team members. Investments are generally maintained within a trust and include money market funds, mutual funds and life insurance policies. The cash surrender value of the life insurance policies is invested primarily in mutual funds. The investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices and are included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. We classify the investments which have observable market prices in active markets in Level 1 as these are generally publicly-traded mutual funds. The remaining deferred compensation assets are classified in Level 2, as fair value can be corroborated based on observable market data. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation are included in earnings.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we record assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges and, with respect to our equity investments without readily determinable fair values, recorded by applying the measurement alternative for which such investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for an observable price change in an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

During the six months ended March 30, 2024, we recorded a fixed asset impairment charge of $25 million in Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as a result of our decision to sell our Netherlands facility. The charge was derived using Level 3 inputs and was driven by management's estimate of the potential proceeds from the disposal of the assets. We did not have any other significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition during the six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024.

Other Financial Instruments

Fair value of our debt is principally estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. Fair value and carrying value for our debt are as follows (in millions):


	March 29, 2025				September 28, 2024
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Total debt	$	8,815	$	9,068	$	9,638	$	9,787

NOTE 12: OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

We guarantee obligations of certain outside third parties, consisting primarily of grower loans, which are substantially collateralized by the underlying assets. The remaining terms of the underlying obligations cover periods up to 7 years, and the maximum potential amount of future payments as of March 29, 2025, was not significant. The likelihood of material payments under these guarantees is not considered probable. At March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024, no significant liabilities for guarantees were recorded.

We have cash flow assistance programs in which certain livestock suppliers participate. Under these programs, we pay an amount for livestock equivalent to a standard cost to grow such livestock during periods of low market sales prices. The amounts of such payments that are in excess of the market sales price are recorded as receivables and accrue interest. Participating suppliers are obligated to repay these receivables balances when market sales prices exceed this standard cost, or upon termination of the agreement. Our maximum commitment associated with these programs is limited to the fair value of each participating livestock supplier’s net tangible assets. The potential maximum commitment as of March 29, 2025 was approximately $235 million. At March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024, we did not have significant net receivables outstanding under these programs.

When constructing new facilities or making major enhancements to existing facilities, we will occasionally enter into incentive agreements with local government agencies in order to reduce certain state and local tax expenditures. These funds are generally considered restricted cash, which is reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets in Other Assets. We had no deposits at March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024. Additionally, under certain agreements, we transfer the related assets to various local government entities and receive Industrial Revenue Bonds. We immediately lease the facilities from the local government entities and have an option to re-purchase the facilities for a nominal amount upon tendering the Industrial Revenue Bonds to the local government entities at various predetermined dates. The Industrial Revenue Bonds and the associated obligations for the leases of the facilities offset, and the underlying assets remain in property, plant and equipment. At March 29, 2025, the total amount under these types of arrangements totaled $852 million.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations and legal proceedings, including those specifically identified below. Each quarter, we determine whether to accrue for loss contingencies based on our assessment of whether the potential loss is probable, reasonably possible or remote and to the extent a loss is probable, whether it is reasonably estimable. We record accruals in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for matters that we conclude are probable and the financial impact is reasonably estimable. The Company further determines whether a range of possible loss, if any, in excess of the recorded accrual is reasonably estimable. Regardless of the manner of resolution, frequently the most significant changes in the status of a matter may occur over a short time period, often following a lengthy period of little substantive activity. While these accruals reflect the Company’s best estimate of the probable loss for those matters as of the dates of those accruals, the recorded amounts may differ materially from the actual amount of the losses for those matters. Listed below are certain claims made against the Company for which the magnitude of the potential exposure could be material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation and Related Matters

Beginning in September 2016, a series of putative federal class action lawsuits styled In re Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation (the “Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation”) were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against us and certain of our poultry subsidiaries, as well as several other poultry processing companies and Agri Stats, Inc. ("Agri Stats"), an information service provider. As described below, the Company reached agreements to settle all outstanding claims brought against it by the putative classes, and the Court has granted final approval to these settlements.

Certain putative class members chose to opt out of the classes and pursue individual claims against the Company and other defendants in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The operative complaints allege that beginning in January 2008, the defendants conspired and combined to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize the price of broiler chickens and that the defendants manipulated and artificially inflated the Georgia Dock price index. The plaintiffs further allege that the defendants concealed this conduct from the plaintiffs and the members of the putative classes. The plaintiffs seek treble damages, injunctive relief, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees under the United States antitrust laws and various state unfair competition laws, consumer protection laws, and unjust enrichment common laws.

The Court divided the case into two tracks. Plaintiffs electing to proceed in the first track (“Track One”) chose to forego claims relating to the DOJ criminal investigation described below. Plaintiffs electing to proceed in the second track (“Track Two”) could pursue those claims but needed to wait until the completion of the Track One proceedings before doing so.

The first trial in this matter, which involved claims brought by the Direct Purchaser Plaintiff Class and certain direct-action plaintiffs, began on September 12, 2023 and concluded with a jury verdict in favor of the defendant on October 25, 2023. The Company did not participate in the first trial because it had previously settled all of the claims brought by the plaintiffs that participated in that trial. The second and third scheduled trials in this matter, which were to involve claims brought by the Commercial and Institutional Indirect Purchaser Class and the End-User Consumer Plaintiff Class, respectively, were scheduled to begin in March 2024 and September 2024, respectively. Both of these trials were cancelled because all claims brought by these classes were resolved before trial. This completed the Track One proceedings.

On February 11, 2025, the Court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the allegations brought by the Track Two plaintiffs. On March 7, 2025, the Court lifted the stay of discovery that had applied to the Track Two claims and entered a case schedule under which the first Track Two trial will begin on April 5, 2027.

Settlements

On January 19, 2021, we announced that we had reached agreements to settle certain class claims related to the Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation. Settlement terms were reached with the putative Direct Purchaser Plaintiff Class, the putative Commercial and Institutional Indirect Purchaser Plaintiff Class and the putative End-User Plaintiff Class (collectively, the “Classes”). Under the terms of the settlements, we agreed to pay the Classes an aggregate amount of $221.5 million in settlement of all outstanding claims brought by the Classes. On June 29, 2021, December 20, 2021 and April 18, 2022, the Court granted final approval to the settlements with the Direct Purchaser Plaintiff Class, the End-User Plaintiff Class and the Commercial and Institutional Indirect Purchaser Plaintiff Class, respectively. The foregoing settlements do not settle claims made by plaintiffs who have opted out of the Classes in the Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation.

We are currently pursuing settlement discussions with the remaining opt-out plaintiffs with respect to the remaining claims. While we do not admit any liability as part of the settlements, we believe that the settlements we have entered into have been in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to avoid the uncertainty, risk, expense and distraction of protracted litigation.

Government Investigations

U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Antitrust Division. On June 21, 2019, the DOJ filed a motion to intervene and sought a limited stay of discovery in the Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation, which the court granted in part. Subsequently, we received a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ seeking additional documents and information related to the chicken industry. On June 2, 2020, a grand jury for the District of Colorado returned an indictment charging four individual executives employed by two other poultry processing companies with conspiracy to engage in bid-rigging in violation of federal antitrust laws. On June 10, 2020, we announced that we uncovered information in connection with the grand jury subpoena that we had previously self-reported to the DOJ and have been cooperating with the DOJ as part of our application for leniency under the DOJ’s Corporate Leniency Program. Subsequently, the DOJ announced indictments against additional individuals, as well as other poultry processing companies, alleging a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for broiler chicken products from at least 2012 until at least early 2019. None of these indictments remain pending. In August 2021, the Company was granted conditional leniency by the DOJ for the matters we self-reported, which means that provided the Company continues to cooperate with the DOJ, neither the Company nor any of our cooperating employees will face prosecution or criminal fines or penalties. We continue to cooperate with the DOJ in connection with the ongoing federal antitrust investigation.

State Attorney General Matters. The Offices of the Attorneys General in Washington, New Mexico and Alaska have filed complaints against us and certain of our poultry subsidiaries, as well as several other poultry processing companies and Agri Stats based on allegations similar to those asserted in the Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation. These complaints alleged violations of state antitrust, unfair trade practice, and unjust enrichment laws. We are cooperating with various state governmental agencies and officials, including the Offices of the Attorneys General for Florida and Louisiana, investigating or otherwise seeking information, testimony and/or documents, regarding the conduct alleged in the Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation and related matters. In October 2022, we reached an agreement to settle all claims with the Washington Attorney General, and the court entered a consent decree on October 24, 2022. On February 16, 2024, the Company and the State of Alaska filed a stipulation and proposed consent decree reflecting a settlement of the claims against the Company asserted by the Office of the Attorney General of Alaska. The court approved this settlement on April 24, 2024. On April 19, 2024, the Company and the State of New Mexico filed a proposed consent judgment reflecting a settlement of the claims against the Company asserted by the Office of the Attorney General of New Mexico. The Court approved this settlement on July 23, 2024. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims that have been made, we believe that these settlements are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to avoid the uncertainty, risk, expense and distraction of protracted litigation.

During the three and six months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 the Company did not record any contingency accruals for claims related to these matters. Additionally, during the first six months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, the Company reduced its total recorded legal contingency accrual by $21 million and $81 million, respectively, for amounts it had paid related to these matters. At March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024, the legal contingency accrual for claims related to the Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation matters described above was $65 million and $86 million, respectively. The Company does not believe that a range of possible loss, if any, in excess of the recorded accrual is reasonably estimable at this time.

Broiler Chicken Grower Litigation and Investigation

On January 27, 2017 and March 26, 2017, putative class action complaints were filed against us and certain of our poultry subsidiaries, as well as several other vertically integrated poultry processing companies, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma styled In re Broiler Chicken Grower Litigation. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants colluded not to compete for broiler raising services “with the purpose and effect of fixing, maintaining, and/or stabilizing grower compensation below competitive levels.” The plaintiffs also allege that the defendants “agreed to share detailed data on [g]rower compensation with one another, with the purpose and effect of artificially depressing [g]rower compensation below competitive levels.” The plaintiffs contend these alleged acts constitute violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act and Section 202 of the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921. The plaintiffs are seeking treble damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees on behalf of the putative class. Additional named plaintiffs filed similar class action complaints in federal district courts in North Carolina, Colorado, Kansas and California. All actions were subsequently consolidated in the Eastern District of Oklahoma. In June 2021, we reached an agreement to settle with the putative class of broiler chicken farmers all claims raised in this consolidated action on terms not material to the Company. The Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on August 23, 2021 and final approval on February 18, 2022, and the Company paid the settlement during fiscal 2022.

In October 2022, the DOJ’s Antitrust Division opened a civil investigation into broiler chicken grower contracts and alleged non-competitive practices involving performance-based compensation sharing for the purpose of stabilizing compensation below competitive levels. We continue to cooperate with the investigation. The Company has not recorded any liability for this matter as it does not believe a loss is probable, nor does it believe that a range of possible loss, if any, is reasonably estimable at this time.

Pork Antitrust Litigation

Beginning June 18, 2018, a series of putative class action complaints were filed against us and certain of our pork subsidiaries, as well as several other pork processing companies, in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota styled In re Pork Antitrust Litigation (the “Pork Antitrust Civil Litigation”). The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that beginning in January 2009, the defendants conspired and combined to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize the price of pork and pork products in violation of federal antitrust laws. The complaints on behalf of the putative classes of indirect purchasers also include causes of action under various state unfair competition laws, consumer protection laws, and unjust enrichment common laws. The plaintiffs seek treble damages, injunctive relief, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees on behalf of the putative classes. Since the original filing, certain putative class members have opted out of the matter and are proceeding with individual direct actions making similar claims, and others may try to do so in the future.

The Offices of the Attorney General in New Mexico and Alaska have filed complaints against us and certain of our pork subsidiaries, as well as several other pork processing companies and Agri Stats. The complaints are based on allegations similar to those asserted in the Pork Antitrust Civil Litigation and allege violations of state antitrust, unfair trade practice, and unjust enrichment laws based on allegations of conspiracies to exchange information and manipulate the supply of pork. On October 18, 2024, we reached a settlement with the State of Alaska to resolve all claims made against the Company for an immaterial amount. The court approved the settlement on January 7, 2025. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims that have been made, we believe that this settlement is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to avoid the uncertainty, risk, expense and distraction of protracted litigation.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we filed and joined motions for summary judgment. On March 31, 2025, the court denied those summary judgment motions as to the claims against the Company. The Company anticipates multiple trials in this matter in various federal districts, with various classes of plaintiffs as well as opt-out plaintiffs, with the first trial expected to begin in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. While we believe we have valid and meritorious defenses to the claims that have been made in the Pork Antitrust Civil Litigation and the related Attorney General matters, we are exploring the possibility of entering into settlements as a way to avoid the uncertainty, risk, expense and distraction of protracted litigation. On April 11, 2025, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the direct purchase class plaintiffs to settle their claims in this matter for an aggregate of $50 million, subject to court approval. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company increased the contingency accrual for claims related to this matter by $250 million. At March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024, the legal contingency accrual for claims related to the Pork Antitrust Civil Litigation matter described above was $295 million and $45 million, respectively. The Company does not believe that a range of possible loss, if any, in excess of the recorded accrual is reasonably estimable at this time. However, if facts and circumstances of the matter or assumptions based on present conditions used to determine our estimated liability were to significantly change, we may be exposed to additional material losses.

Beef Antitrust Litigation and Related Matters

Beginning on April 23, 2019, a series of class action complaints were filed against us and our beef and pork subsidiary, Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. (“Tyson Fresh Meats”), as well as other beef packer defendants, in various federal district courts, including the United States District Court for Northern Illinois, the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, and the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, by putative classes of direct purchasers, cattle ranchers, indirect purchasers, and indirect cattle producers. The putative classes in these cases allege that the defendants engaged in one or more conspiracies beginning in roughly January 2015 with the aim of reducing fed cattle prices, manipulating the price of live cattle futures and options traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, artificially increasing the cost of beef, and reducing the price of cows, cattle, calves, steers or heifers. The putative classes allege that this conduct violated federal antitrust laws, the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921, the Commodities Exchange Act, and various state unfair competition, consumer protection, and unjust enrichment laws. Their complaints seek, among other things, treble monetary damages, punitive damages, restitution, and pre- and post-judgment interest, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief. Since the original filing, certain putative class members have opted out of the matter and are proceeding with individual direct actions making similar claims, and others may do so in the future. These cases have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota for pretrial purposes. The fact discovery phase ended in early April 2025, and the parties are now engaged in expert discovery. Additionally, the putative classes filed motions for class certification on September 25, 2024, which remains pending before the court.

On February 18, 2022, a putative class action was commenced against us, Tyson Fresh Meats, and other beef packer defendants in the Supreme Court of British Columbia styled Bui v. Cargill, Incorporated et al. The putative class is comprised of direct and indirect beef purchasers in Canada between January 1, 2015 and the present, and alleges that the defendants conspired to fix, maintain, increase, or control the price of beef, as well as to fix, maintain, control, prevent, or lessen the production or supply of beef. The complaint alleges a violation of the Competition Act, civil conspiracy, unjust enrichment, and a violation of the Civil Code of Québec. It seeks declarations regarding the alleged conspiracy, general damages, aggravated, exemplary, and punitive damages, injunctive relief, costs, and interest. On March 24, 2022, a putative class action was commenced against the same defendants in the Superior Court of Québec styled De Bellefeuille v. Cargill, Incorporated et al, raising substantially similar allegations and seeking compensatory damages, costs of investigation and interest.

On May 22, 2020, December 23, 2020 and October 29, 2021, we received civil investigative demands (“CIDs”) from the DOJ’s Civil Antitrust Division. The CIDs request information related to the fed cattle and beef packing markets. We have been cooperating with the DOJ with respect to the CIDs. The Offices of the Attorney General for multiple states are participating in the investigation and coordinating with the DOJ. While we believe we have valid and meritorious defenses to the claims that have been made in the Beef Antitrust Civil Litigation and related matters, we expect that in the context of settlement discussions in the Pork Antitrust Civil Litigation matters described above, there may also be opportunities to discuss settlements for the Beef Antitrust Civil Litigation matters, because there are many plaintiffs that are common to both. The Company views such settlement discussions as a means to potentially avoid the uncertainty, risk, expense and distraction of protracted litigation.

Accordingly, during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we recorded a legal contingency accrual of $93 million for claims related to the Beef Antitrust Civil Litigation matter, which remains outstanding as of March 29, 2025. The Company does not believe that a range of possible loss, if any, in excess of the recorded accrual is reasonably estimable at this time. However, if facts and circumstances of the matter or assumptions based on present conditions used to determine our estimated liability were to significantly change, we may be exposed to additional material losses.

Wage Rate Litigation and Related Matters

Poultry. On August 30, 2019, a putative class of non-supervisory production and maintenance employees at chicken processing plants in the continental United States filed class action complaints against us and certain of our subsidiaries, as well as several other poultry processing companies, in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants directly and through a wage survey and benchmarking service exchanged information regarding labor rates in an effort to depress and fix the rates of wages for non-supervisory production and maintenance workers in violation of federal antitrust laws. Additional lawsuits making similar allegations were consolidated including an amended consolidated complaint containing additional allegations concerning turkey processing plants naming additional defendants. On May 10, 2024 and June 3, 2024, the Company participated in mediation with the putative class plaintiffs. Following the mediation, on June 14, 2024, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the putative class plaintiffs to settle all claims in the case for an aggregate amount of $115.5 million. On February 11, 2025, the court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement. If the court grants final approval to the settlement, it will completely resolve all claims made against the Company in this matter. While we believe we have valid and meritorious defenses against the allegations, we believe that the proposed settlement is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to avoid the uncertainty, risk, expense and distraction of protracted litigation. At March 29, 2025 and September 28, 2024, the legal contingency accrual for claims related to the Poultry wage rate litigation matter described above was $77 million and $116 million, respectively. The decrease in the accrual is due to payments made during the first six months of fiscal 2025. The Company does not believe that a range of possible loss, if any, in excess of the recorded accrual is reasonably estimable at this time.

The DOJ’s Antitrust Division has opened a civil investigation into human resources at several poultry companies. We are cooperating with the investigation. The Company has not recorded any liability for this matter as it does not believe a loss is probable, nor does it believe that a range of possible loss, if any, is reasonably estimable at this time.

Fresh Meats. On November 11, 2022, a putative class of employees at beef-processing and pork-processing plants in the continental United States filed a class action complaint against us and certain of our subsidiaries, as well as several other beef-processing and pork-processing companies, in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants directly and through a wage survey and benchmarking service exchanged information regarding labor rates in an effort to depress and fix the rates of wages for employees in violation of federal antitrust laws.

On December 22, 2023, after a mediation between the parties, the Company and the putative class plaintiffs reached an in-principle agreement to settle. While we believe we have valid and meritorious defenses against the allegations, we believe that the proposed settlement is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to avoid the uncertainty, risk, expense and distraction of protracted litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay the putative class an aggregate amount of $72.5 million to completely resolve all claims made against the Company in this matter. The court approved the settlement on January 15, 2025. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an accrual for the $72.5 million settlement which was paid during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of the court approval.

Other Matters

Our subsidiary, The Hillshire Brands Company (formerly named Sara Lee Corporation), is a party to a consolidation of cases filed by individual complainants with the Republic of the Philippines, Department of Labor and Employment and the National Labor Relations Commission (“NLRC”) from 1998 through July 1999. The complaint was filed against Aris Philippines, Inc., Sara Lee Corporation, Sara Lee Philippines, Inc., Fashion Accessories Philippines, Inc., and Attorney Cesar C. Cruz (collectively, the “respondents”). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the respondents engaged in unfair labor practices in connection with the termination of manufacturing operations in the Philippines in 1995 by Aris Philippines, Inc., a former subsidiary of The Hillshire Brands Company. In late 2004, a labor arbiter ruled against the respondents and awarded the complainants approximately $60 million in damages and fees. From 2004 through 2014, the parties filed numerous appeals, motions for reconsideration and petitions for review, certain of which remained outstanding for several years. On December 15, 2016, we learned that the NLRC rendered its decision on November 29, 2016, regarding the respondents’ appeals from the labor arbiter’s 2004 ruling in favor of the complainants. The NLRC increased the award for 4,922 of the total 5,984 complainants to approximately $259 million. However, the NLRC approved a prior settlement reached with the group comprising approximately 18% of the class of 5,984 complainants, pursuant to which The Hillshire Brands Company agreed to pay each settling complainant approximately $1,200. The parties filed numerous appeals, motions for reconsideration and petitions for review related to the NLRC award and settlement payment. The Court of Appeals of the Philippines subsequently vacated the NLRC’s award on April 12, 2018. Complainants filed motions for reconsideration with the Court of Appeals which were denied. Claimants have since filed petitions for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the Philippines, which have been accepted. The Company continues to maintain an accrual in an immaterial amount for estimated probable losses for this matter in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not believe that a range of possible loss, if any, in excess of the

recorded accrual is reasonably estimable at this time.

For a tax-related matter involving the Company, refer to Part I, Item 1. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 8: Income Tax.

Various claims have been asserted against the Company, its subsidiaries, and its officers and agents by, and on behalf of, team members who claim to have contracted COVID-19 in our facilities. The Company has not recorded any liability for these matters as it does not believe a loss is probable, nor does it believe that a range of possible loss, if any, is reasonably estimable at this time, because it believes the allegations in the claims are without merit and that the Company has valid and meritorious defenses against the allegations.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OBJECTIVE

Our objective is to also provide discussion of events and uncertainties known to management that are reasonably likely to cause reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results or of future financial condition and to offer information that provides understanding of our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Description of the Company

We are a world-class food company and recognized leader in protein. Founded in 1935 by John W. Tyson, it has grown under four generations of family leadership. The Company is unified by this purpose: Tyson Foods. We Feed the World Like FamilyTM and has a broad portfolio of iconic products and brands including Tyson®, Jimmy Dean®, Hillshire Farm®, Ball Park®, Wright®, State Fair®, Aidells® and ibp®. Tyson Foods is dedicated to bringing high-quality food to every table in the world, safely, sustainably, and affordably, now and for future generations. Some of the key factors influencing our business are customer demand for our products; the ability to maintain and grow relationships with customers and introduce new and innovative products to the marketplace; accessibility of international markets; market prices for our products; the cost and availability of live cattle and hogs, raw materials and feed ingredients; availability of team members to operate our production facilities; and operating efficiencies of our facilities.

Overview

General

Sales were relatively flat in the second quarter and increased 1.2%, or $306 million, in the first six months of fiscal 2025, driven by increased sales in our Beef and Chicken segments, partially offset by decreased sales in our Pork and Prepared Foods segments. Sales were negatively impacted in the second quarter and the first six months by 2.6% and 1.3%, respectively, from the recognition of $343 million of legal contingency accruals. Operating income of $100 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was down 68% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024, as we experienced lower operating income in our Beef and Pork segments, partially offset by higher operating income in our Chicken and Prepared Foods segments and International/Other.

Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, our operating income was impacted by $343 million of legal contingency accruals, $43 million in network optimization plan charges, $23 million of plant closures and disposal charges and $6 million in brand discontinuation charges. In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, our operating income was impacted by $54 million of costs related to a production facility fire in the Netherlands and our subsequent decision to sell the facility and $39 million of plant closures and disposal charges.

Operating income of $680 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025 was up 25% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2024 as we experienced higher operating income in our Chicken segment and International/Other, partially offset by lower operating income for our Beef, Pork and Prepared Foods segments. In the first six months of fiscal 2025, our operating income was impacted by $343 million of legal contingency accruals, $116 million in network optimization plan charges, $23 million of plant closures and disposal charges and $12 million in brand discontinuation charges. In the first six months ended March 30, 2024, our operating income was impacted by $114 million of plant closures and disposal charges, $80 million of costs related to a production facility fire in the Netherlands and our subsequent decision to sell the facility, $73 million in legal contingency accruals and $31 million of restructuring and related charges, partially offset by the benefit of $24 million of insurance proceeds, net of costs incurred related to facility fires.

Market Environment

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, domestic protein production (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) was flat in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2024. The Beef segment continues to experience limited supply of market-ready cattle as well as increased cattle costs. Additionally, uncertainty exists regarding the timing of the anticipated cattle herd rebuilding. The Pork segment experienced sufficient supply of market-ready hogs and increased hog costs. The Chicken segment experienced reduced feed ingredient costs. The Prepared Foods segment is currently experiencing increased raw material costs primarily due to higher meat costs.

We are subject to changes in import and export policies, including trade restrictions, new or increased tariffs or quotas, and customs restrictions through our international sales and operations. Our exports account for less than 10% of our business, primarily composed of chicken leg quarters and paws, boxed beef and variety meats of all proteins. As a result of the recent changes in trade policies and tariffs both domestically and internationally, we may experience some sales disruptions and other impacts associated with tariffs. There is uncertainty regarding the impact the current changes will have on the price and demand of our products in the affected countries, commodity pricing and other general economic conditions, and uncertainty in future changes that may have a material impact. We will continue to analyze the impact of supply chain and tariff impacts in the upcoming months.

Margins

Our total operating margin was 0.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Operating margins by segment were as follows:

•Beef – (5.0)%

•Pork – (15.7)%

•Chicken – 6.3%

•Prepared Foods – 10.2%

Strategy

We are a world-class food company and recognized leader in protein. Our strategy is to deliver margins in the core protein business by driving efficiencies and valuing-up offerings to better serve consumers; grow branded portfolio by innovating new occasions, categories and channels; and scale in international markets by delivering profitable value-added food offerings in high growth categories.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company initiated a network optimization plan to optimize our global operations and logistics network. We expect to incur costs related to the network optimization plan over a multi-year period. We recognized charges of $43 million and $116 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively, related to the network optimization plan, which primarily included the closure of two facilities in the Prepared Foods segment, a non-harvesting facility closure in the Beef segment and asset write-offs in the Chicken segment and International/Other. All estimated charges related to actions approved through March 29, 2025 have been recognized and included $47 million that have resulted or will result in cash outflows and $69 million of non-cash for the first six months of fiscal 2025. We expect to incur additional charges in the future as additional actions are approved. In April 2025, following a strategic review of our domestic logistics and storage network, the Company approved a plan to execute various long-term cold storage service agreements and the sale of multiple Tyson-owned and operated distribution centers. For further description refer to Part I, Item I, Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note 5: Restructuring and Related Charges.

Second quarter and six months – Fiscal 2025 vs Fiscal 2024

•Sales Volume - Sales volume decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 primarily due to lower head harvested, partially offset by higher average carcass weights. Sales volume for the first six months increased primarily due to higher average carcass weights.

•Average Sales Price - Average sales price increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 primarily due to increased input costs and strong demand. The change in average sales price excludes a $93 million reduction of Sales from the recognition of a legal contingency accrual recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

•Operating Income (Loss) - Operating income decreased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 as Beef margins remained compressed, partially offset by improved operational execution. Additionally, operating income for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 was impacted by the recognition of legal contingency accruals and network optimization plan charges.

Second quarter and six months – Fiscal 2025 vs Fiscal 2024

•Sales Volume - Sales volume decreased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 due to production decreases associated with a plant closure in 2024 which were partly offset by production increases at other facilities and higher average carcass weights.

•Average Sales Price - Average sales price increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 as demand for our pork products remained strong. The change in average sales price excludes a $250 million reduction of Sales from the recognition of a legal contingency accrual recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

•Operating Income (Loss) - Operating income (loss) decreased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025 due to compressed pork margins and the recognition of a legal contingency accrual in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset by lower operating costs, improved results in our live hog operations and lapping the impacts of plant closures and disposals recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, growth opportunities, repurchases of senior notes, repayment of maturing debt, the payment of dividends and share repurchases are expected to be met with current cash on hand, cash flows provided by operating activities or short-term borrowings. Based on our current expectations, we believe our liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient to operate our business. However, we may take advantage of opportunities to generate additional liquidity or refinance existing debt through capital market transactions. The amount, nature and timing of any capital market transactions will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.

•Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2025 was $846 million, a decrease of $331 million compared to the first six months of fiscal 2024, as the $80 million of higher earnings, net of non-cash items, was more than offset by a $411 million decrease in cash provided by the net changes in operating assets and liabilities which was primarily impacted by:

•A decrease of $501 million due to an increase in inventory of $229 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025, compared to a decrease of $272 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024, primarily due to increased average cost of inventory and higher volume of livestock.

•A decrease of $98 million due to a decrease in income taxes payable/receivable of $41 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025, compared to an increase of $57 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024, primarily driven by an increase in tax payments as a result of higher taxable income associated with payments made in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024.

•Partially offset by:

•An increase of $322 million due to a decrease in accounts payable of $3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2025, compared to a decrease of $325 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024, primarily due to a reduction in accounts payable in fiscal 2024 associated with lower input costs.

•Liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and availability under our revolving credit, less the outstanding commercial paper balance.

•At March 29, 2025, we had current debt of $896 million, which we intend to pay with our existing cash balance, cash generated from our operating activities and other existing or new liquidity sources.

•The revolving credit facility supports our short-term funding needs and also serves to backstop our commercial paper program. We had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility during the six months ended March 29, 2025.

•On April 15, 2025, subsequent to the end of our second quarter of fiscal 2025, we terminated our existing revolving credit facility and entered into a new $2.5 billion revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility will mature, and the commitments thereunder will terminate, in April 2030 with options for two one-year extensions. Under the terms of this revolving credit facility, we have the option to establish incremental commitment increases of up to an aggregate amount of $500 million if certain conditions are met. The covenants and other terms of the new facility are generally consistent with those of the terminated facility.

•We expect net interest expense to approximate $375 million for fiscal 2025.

•Our current ratio was 1.7 to 1 at March 29, 2025 and 2.0 to 1 at September 28, 2024. The decrease in fiscal 2025 is primarily due to decreased cash and cash equivalents and increased current debt.

•At March 29, 2025, $646 million of our cash was held in the accounts of our foreign subsidiaries. Generally, we do not rely on the foreign cash as a source of funds to support our ongoing domestic liquidity needs. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among our foreign subsidiaries and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We intend to repatriate excess cash (net of applicable withholding taxes) not subject to regulatory requirements and to indefinitely reinvest outside of the United States the remainder of cash held by foreign subsidiaries. We do not expect the regulatory restrictions or taxes on repatriation to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or the results of operations for the foreseeable future.

Capital Resources

Credit Facility

Cash flows from operating activities and cash on hand are our primary sources of liquidity for funding debt service, capital expenditures, dividends and share repurchases. We also have a revolving credit facility, with a committed capacity of $2.25 billion, to provide additional liquidity for working capital needs and to backstop our commercial paper program.

At March 29, 2025, amounts available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility totaled $2.25 billion. Our revolving credit facility is funded by a syndicate of 20 banks, with commitments ranging from $35 million to $175 million per bank.

Commercial Paper Program

Our commercial paper program provides a low-cost source of borrowing to fund general corporate purposes including working capital requirements. The maximum borrowing capacity under the commercial paper program is $1.5 billion. The maturities of the notes may vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. As of March 29, 2025, we had no commercial paper outstanding under this program.

Credit Ratings

Term Loan Facility due May 2028

Standard & Poor’s Rating Services’, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business (“S&P”), applicable rating is “BBB”. Moody’s Investor Service, Inc.’s (“Moody’s”) applicable rating is “Baa2”. The below table outlines the commitment fee on any unused borrowing capacity and the borrowing spread on the outstanding principal balance of our term loan facility due May 2028 that corresponds to the applicable ratings levels from S&P and Moody’s.


Ratings Level (Moody’s/S&P)	Commitment Fee		Borrowing Spread
Baal/BBB+ or above	0.100	%	1.625	%

In the event the rating levels fall within different levels, the applicable rate will be based upon the higher of the two Levels or, if there is more than a one-notch split between the two Levels, then the Applicable Rate will be based upon the Level that is one Level below the higher Level.

Debt Covenants

We were in compliance with all debt covenants at March 29, 2025, and we expect that we will maintain compliance.

RECENTLY ISSUED/ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Refer to the discussion of recently issued/adopted accounting pronouncements under Part I, Item 1, Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note 1: Accounting Policies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We consider accounting policies related to: contingent liabilities; revenue recognition; accrued self-insurance; defined benefit pension plans; impairment of long-lived assets and definite life intangibles; impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets; business combinations; and income taxes to be critical accounting estimates. These policies are summarized in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note 1: Accounting Policies, for updates to our significant accounting policies during the six months ended March 29, 2025. These critical accounting policies require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes.

As further described in the impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets critical accounting estimate included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, we assess goodwill and indefinite life assets for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our qualitative assessment for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2025 did not indicate that it was more likely than not the fair value of any of our reporting units or indefinite lived intangibles was less than the carrying amount, and as such, no quantitative test was deemed necessary. We consider reporting units and indefinite lived intangibles that have 20% or less excess fair value over carrying amount to have a heightened risk of impairment. The following reporting units and indefinite lived intangibles were considered at heightened risk of impairment as of the date of the most recent estimated fair value determination, which was in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024: our Beef and Chicken segment reporting units, with total goodwill of approximately $0.3 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, and one Prepared Foods brand with a carrying value of $0.5 billion.

We continuously evaluate the changing macro-economic conditions including inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, demand outlook and export markets as well as the Company's market capitalization. Our reporting units with heightened risk of future impairments with $3.3 billion carrying value, as well as a brand with $0.5 billion carrying value, all had less than 20% of excess fair value above carrying value as of the date of the most recent estimated fair value determination with our Beef reporting unit having less than 10% of excess fair value above carrying value. Consequently, their estimated fair values, especially our Beef reporting unit, remain highly sensitive to future discount rate increases, changing macro-economic conditions and achievement of projected long-term operating margins. Although our remaining reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets generally had more than 20% excess fair value over carrying amount as of the date of the most recent estimated fair value determination, they are also susceptible to impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors significantly change in the future.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Certain information in this report constitutes forward-looking statements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk relating to our operations results primarily from changes in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates, as well as credit risk concentrations. To address certain of these risks, we enter into various derivative transactions as described below. If a derivative instrument is accounted for as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the instrument either will be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings, or be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

Further, we hold certain positions, primarily in grain and livestock futures that either do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedges. With the exception of normal purchases and normal sales that are expected to result in physical delivery, we record these positions at fair value, and the unrealized gains and losses are reported in earnings at each reporting date.

The sensitivity analyses presented below are the measures of potential changes in fair value resulting from hypothetical changes in market prices related to commodities. Sensitivity analyses do not consider the actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to changes, nor do they consider the effects such hypothetical adverse changes may have on overall economic activity. Actual changes in market prices may differ from hypothetical changes.

Commodities Risk

We purchase certain commodities, such as grains and livestock, during normal operations. As part of our commodity risk management activities, we use derivative financial instruments, primarily forwards and options, to reduce the effect of changing prices and as a mechanism to procure the underlying commodity. However, as the commodities underlying our derivative financial instruments can experience significant price fluctuations, any requirement to mark-to-market the positions that have not been designated or do not qualify as hedges could result in volatility in our results of operations. Contract terms of a hedge instrument closely mirror those of the hedged item providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation. Contracts designated and highly effective at meeting this risk reduction and correlation criteria are recorded using hedge accounting. We generally do not hedge anticipated transactions beyond 18 months. The following table presents a sensitivity analysis resulting from a hypothetical change of 10% in market prices as of March 29, 2025, and September 28, 2024, on the fair value of open positions. The fair value of such positions is a summation of the fair values calculated for each commodity by valuing each net position at quoted forward and option prices. The market risk exposure analysis included both derivatives designated as hedge instruments and derivatives not designated as hedge instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

At March 29, 2025, we had variable rate debt of $781 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.2%. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates effective at March 29, 2025 would increase annualized interest expense by approximately $5 million.

Additionally, changes in interest rates impact the fair value of our fixed-rate debt. At March 29, 2025, we had fixed-rate debt of $8,287 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.8%. Market risk for fixed-rate debt is estimated as the potential increase in fair value, resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would have changed the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $240 million at March 29, 2025 and $230 million at September 28, 2024. The fair values of our debt were estimated based on quoted market prices and/or published interest rates.

We are subject to interest rate risk associated with our pension and post-retirement benefit obligations. Changes in interest rates impact the liabilities associated with these benefit plans as well as the amount of income or expense recognized for these plans. Declines in the value of the plan assets could diminish the funded status of the pension plans and potentially increase the requirements to make cash contributions to these plans. See Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 15: Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, for additional information.

Foreign Currency Risk

We have foreign exchange exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily as a result of certain receivable and payable balances. The primary currencies we have exposure to are the Brazilian real, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Chinese renminbi, the European euro, the Malaysian ringgit, the Mexican peso, and the Thai baht. We periodically enter into foreign exchange forward and option contracts to hedge some portion of our foreign currency exposure. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign exchange rates related to the foreign exchange forward and option contracts would have had a $24 million and $25 million impact on pretax income at March 29, 2025, and September 28, 2024 respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Refer to our market risk disclosures set forth in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, for a detailed discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about concentration of credit risks.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of March 29, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act) during the quarter ended March 29, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

Refer to the description of the Broiler Antitrust Civil Litigation, the Broiler Chicken Grower Litigation, the Pork Antitrust Litigation, the Beef Antitrust Litigation and the Wage Rate Litigation under the heading “Commitments and Contingencies” in Part I, Item 1, Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference. Other than as set forth below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, there are no additional updates to the legal proceedings involving the Company and/or its subsidiaries.

On June 19, 2005, the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Environment of the State of Oklahoma filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma against Tyson Foods, Inc., three subsidiaries and six other poultry integrators. The complaint, which was subsequently amended, asserts a number of state and federal causes of action including, but not limited to, counts under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and state-law public nuisance theories. Oklahoma alleges that the defendants and certain contract growers who were not joined in the lawsuit polluted the surface waters, groundwater and associated drinking water supplies of the Illinois River Watershed through the land application of poultry litter. Oklahoma’s claims were narrowed through various rulings issued before and during trial and its claims for natural resource damages were dismissed by the district court in a ruling issued on July 22, 2009, which was subsequently affirmed on appeal by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. A non-jury trial of the remaining claims including Oklahoma’s request for injunctive relief began on September 24, 2009. Closing arguments were held on February 11, 2010. On January 18, 2023, the district court entered Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in favor of the State of Oklahoma and directed the parties to confer in an attempt to reach an agreement on appropriate remedies by March 17, 2023. On March 17, 2023, the parties received a 90-day extension from the district court and continued to confer on appropriate remedies. On June 12, 2023, the court ordered the parties to mediation. The parties attended an in-person mediation on October 12, 2023, but were unable to reach a resolution. Defendants subsequently filed a post-trial motion to dismiss, which the court denied on June 26, 2024. The court convened an evidentiary hearing which concluded on December 17, 2024. The parties completed post-hearing briefing thereafter and await a decision from the court.

Other Matters

As of September 28, 2024, we had approximately 138,000 team members and, at any time, have various employment practices matters outstanding. In the aggregate, these matters are important to the Company, and we devote considerable resources to managing employment issues. Additionally, we are subject to other lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. While the ultimate results of these matters cannot be determined, they are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Our business is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. These risks are described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere in our other filings with the SEC, including Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024. The risks identified in such reports have not changed in any material respect.

We are subject to risks associated with our international activities, which could negatively affect our sales to customers in foreign locations, as well as our operations and assets in such locations and in the United States

In fiscal 2024, we sold products to customers in approximately 140 countries. Major sales markets include Canada, Central America, Chile, China, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, Mexico, Malaysia, the Middle East, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Our sales to customers in foreign countries for fiscal 2024 totaled $7.8 billion, of which $5.2 billion related to export sales from the United States. In addition, we had approximately $1.4 billion of long-lived assets located in foreign locations, primarily Brazil, China, the European Union, Malaysia, the Middle East and Thailand, at the end of fiscal 2024.

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties relating to international sales and operations, including: closing of borders by foreign countries to the import of beef, pork and poultry products due to animal disease or other perceived health or safety issues; the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the United States dollar and foreign currencies, particularly the Brazilian real, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Chinese renminbi, the European euro, the Malaysian ringgit, the Mexican peso, and the Thai baht; political and economic conditions, including ongoing conflicts and political tensions; and difficulties and costs of complying with different legal, tax and regulatory requirements impacting exports and other international activities.

Changes in import and export policies, including trade restrictions, new or increased tariffs or quotas, and customs restrictions, could require us to change the way we conduct business, impose increased costs, and reduce demand for our products. Tariffs and trade disputes could increase the price of our goods in the affected countries and result in less or no demand. In addition, tariffs could affect the pricing of commodities and raw materials, and this could impose additional costs on us or on our suppliers, which could affect the costs and availability of sourcing. The extent and duration of tariffs is subject to change, and this could adversely affect general economic conditions. In times of economic uncertainty, consumers may purchase less products or shift to lower-priced offerings such as private-label goods, and this could adversely affect our product sales.

Negative consequences relating to these risks and uncertainties could limit our ability to transact business in one or more of the markets where we operate and could adversely affect our financial results.
