NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (referred to herein as “Pilgrim’s,” “PPC,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar terms) is one of the largest food companies in the world, with operations in the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Mexico, France, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. Pilgrim’s is primarily a chicken producer, with pork and lamb operations in the U.K. Pilgrim’s products are sold to foodservice, retail and frozen entrée customers. The Company’s primary distribution is through retailers, foodservice distributors and restaurants throughout the countries listed above. Additionally, the Company exports chicken and pork products (from its U.K. operations) to over 120 countries. Our fresh products consist of refrigerated whole or cut-up chicken, selected chicken parts that are either marinated or non-marinated, primary pork cuts, added value pork, pork ribs, and lamb products. The Company’s prepared products include fully cooked, ready-to-cook and individually frozen chicken parts, strips, nuggets and patties, processed sausages, bacon, smoked meat, gammon joints, pre-packed meats, sandwich and deli counter meats and meatballs. The Company’s other products include plant-based protein offerings, ready-to-eat meals, multi-protein frozen foods, vegetarian foods and desserts. The Company also provides direct-to-consumer meals and hot food to-go solutions in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland. We operate feed mills, hatcheries, processing plants and distribution centers in 14 U.S. states, the U.K., Mexico, France, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, Pilgrim’s had approximately 62,~~200~~900 employees and had the capacity to process approximately 41.3 million birds per 5-day work week. Approximately 4,~~250~~150 contract growers supply chicken for the Company’s operations. As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, PPC had the capacity to process approximately 42,750 pigs per 5-day work week and ~~209~~208 contract growers supply pigs for the Company’s U.K. operations. As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, JBS S.A., through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “JBS”), beneficially owned 82.3% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments unless otherwise disclosed) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 28, 2025. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024.

The Company operates on the basis of a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday falling on or before December 31. Any reference we make to a particular year (for example, 2025) in the notes to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements applies to our fiscal year and not the calendar year. The ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 represents the period from December 30, 2024 through ~~June~~September 2928, 2025. The ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024 represents the period from January 1, 2024 through ~~June~~September 3029, 2024.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. We eliminate all significant affiliate accounts and transactions upon consolidation.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP using management’s best estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and judgments. Significant estimates made by the Company include the allowance for credit losses, reserves related to inventory obsolescence or valuation, useful lives of long-lived assets, goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, insurance accruals, valuation of pension and other postretirement benefits obligations, income tax accruals, certain derivative positions, and valuations of acquired businesses.

The functional currency of the Company’s U.S. operations and certain holding-company subsidiaries in Luxembourg, the U.K., Malta and the Republic of Ireland is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of its U.K. operations is the British pound. The functional currency of the Company’s operations in France, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland is the euro. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company determined that there was a significant change in economic factors that ~~necessitated a reassessment of the appropriate functional currency of the Mexico reportable segment. The primary economic~~

Table of Contents

necessitated a reassessment at that time of the appropriate functional currency of the Mexico reportable segment. The primary economic factors driving the change included 1) the recent sustained, historical strengthening of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and against other global currencies without a correlated impact on the average product sales prices of our Mexico operations and 2) a shift in the proportional volume of spend we have that is denominated in Mexican peso in relation to spend that is denominated in U.S. dollar. As a result of this reassessment, on April 1, 2024, the Company changed the functional currency of its Mexico operations from the U.S. dollar to the Mexican peso. The change in the functional currency was accounted for on April 1, 2024, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For foreign currency-denominated entities, including the Company’s Mexico operations after April 1, 2024, translation from local currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are remeasured using average exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from translation of these financial records are reflected as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the Company’s Mexico operations prior to April 1, 2024, remeasurement from the Mexican peso to U.S. dollars was performed for monetary assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. Remeasurement was performed for non-monetary assets using the historical exchange rate in effect on the date of each asset’s acquisition. Income and expense accounts were remeasured using average exchange rates for the period. Net adjustments that resulted from remeasurement of the financial records, as well as foreign currency transaction gains and losses, are reflected in Foreign currency transaction losses (gains) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents

The Company is required to maintain cash balances with brokers as collateral for exchange-traded futures contracts. These balances are classified as restricted cash as they are not available for use by the Company to fund daily operations. The balance of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents may also include investments in U.S. Treasury Bills that qualify as restricted cash equivalents, as required by the brokers, to offset the obligation to return cash collateral.

The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total of the same amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted as of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional disclosures for income taxes to enhance transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance requires additional disclosures for the tabular rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and the disaggregation of domestic, federal and state, and foreign components within income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. The provisions of the new guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company plans to adopt this guidance asat itthe ~~becomes~~end ~~effective~~of ~~and~~this isfiscal ~~assessing~~year. ~~the~~The ~~impacts~~impact onof ~~our~~this ~~Consolidated~~new ~~Financial~~standard ~~Statements~~will only impact disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires additional disclosures for certain costs and expenses to help investors better understand major components of an entity’s income statement. The guidance requires additional disclosures for costs and expenses such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The provisions of the new guidance will be effective for annual reporting years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company plans to adopt this guidance as it becomes effective and is assessing the impacts on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts which are based upon a customer ordering its products. While there may be master agreements, the contract is only established when the customer’s order is accepted by the Company. The Company accounts for a contract, which may be verbal or written, when it is approved and committed by both parties, the rights of the parties are identified along with payment terms, the contract has commercial substance and collectability is probable.

Table of Contents

The Company evaluates the transaction for distinct performance obligations, which are the sale of its products to customers. Since its products are commodity market-priced, the sales price is representative of the observable, standalone selling price. Each performance obligation is recognized based upon a pattern of recognition that reflects the transfer of control to the customer at a point in time, which is upon destination (customer location or port of destination), and depicts the transfer of control and recognition of revenue. There are instances of customer pick-up at the Company’s facilities, in which case control transfers to the customer at that point and the Company recognizes revenue. The Company’s performance obligations are typically fulfilled within days to weeks of the acceptance of the order.

The Company makes judgments regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from revenue and cash flows with customers. Determination of a contract requires evaluation and judgment along with the estimation of the total contract value and if any of the contract value is constrained. Due to the nature of our business, there is minimal variable consideration, as the contract is established at the acceptance of the order from the customer. When applicable, variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and updated on a regular basis until the contract is completed. Allocating the transaction price to a specific performance obligation based upon the relative standalone selling prices includes estimating the standalone selling prices including discounts and variable consideration.

Disaggregated Revenue

Revenue has been disaggregated into the categories below to show how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows:

Contract Costs

The Company can incur incremental costs to obtain or fulfill a contract such as broker expenses that are not expected to be recovered. The amortization period for such expenses is less than one year; therefore, the costs are expensed as incurred.

Taxes

The Company excludes all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer (for example, sales, use, value added and some excise taxes) from the transaction price.

Contract Balances

The Company receives payment from customers based on terms established with the customer. Payments are typically due within 14 to 30 days of delivery. Revenue contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of satisfying the performance under the customer contract. The revenue contract liabilities relate to customer prepayments and the advanced consideration, such as cash, received from governmental agency contracts for which performance obligations to the end customer have not been satisfied.

Balance as of September 28, 2025	$	55,977

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable when revenue is recognized. We record an allowance for credit losses, reducing our receivables balance to an amount we estimate is collectible from our customers. Estimates used in determining the allowance for credit losses are based on historical collection experience, current trends, aging of accounts receivable and periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. We write off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon age or customer circumstances, that such amounts will not be collected. Generally, the Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.

3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company utilizes various raw materials in its operations, including corn, soybean meal, soybean oil, wheat, natural gas, electricity and diesel fuel, which are all considered commodities. The Company considers these raw materials generally available from a number of different sources and believes it can obtain them to meet its requirements. These commodities are subject to price fluctuations and related price risk due to factors beyond our control, such as economic and political conditions, supply and demand, weather, governmental regulation and other circumstances. Generally, the Company purchases derivative financial instruments, specifically exchange-traded futures and options, in an attempt to mitigate price risk related to its anticipated consumption of commodity inputs for approximately the next twelve months. The Company may purchase longer-term derivative financial instruments on particular commodities if deemed appropriate.

The Company has operations in Mexico, the U.K., France, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. Therefore, it has exposure to translational foreign exchange risk when the financial results of those operations are remeasured in U.S. dollars.

The fair value of derivative assets is included in the line item Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets while the fair value of derivative liabilities is included in the line item Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the same statements. The Company’s counterparties require that it post collateral for changes in the net fair value of the derivative contracts. This cash collateral is reported in the line item Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Undesignated contracts may include contracts not designated as hedges or contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value of each of these derivatives is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Changes in fair value of each derivative are recognized immediately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within Net sales, Cost of sales, or Foreign currency transaction losses (gains) depending on the risk the derivative is intended to mitigate. While management believes these instruments help mitigate various market risks, they are not designated and accounted for as hedges as a result of the extensive record keeping requirements.

The Company does not apply hedge accounting treatment to certain derivative financial instruments that it has purchased to mitigate commodity purchase exposures in the U.S. and Mexico or foreign currency transaction exposures on our Mexico operations. Therefore, the Company recognized changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments immediately in earnings. Gains or losses related to the commodity derivative financial instruments are included in the line item Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Realized gains and losses related to cash flows are disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Cash provided by operating activities. Unrealized gains and losses related to cash flows are disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the line item Other operating assets and liabilities. Gains or losses related to the foreign currency derivative financial instruments are included in the line item Foreign currency transaction losses (gains) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company does apply hedge accounting treatment to certain derivative financial instruments related to its Europe reportable segment that it has purchased to mitigate foreign currency transaction exposures. Before the settlement date of the financial derivative instruments, the Company recognizes changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge into accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). When the derivative financial instruments are settled, the amount in AOCI is then

reclassified to earnings. Gains or losses related to these derivative financial instruments are included in the line item Net sales and Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

We have generally applied the normal purchase and normal sale scope exception (“NPNS”) to our forward physical grain purchase contracts delivered by truck and to our forward physical natural gas and solar-generated power purchase contracts. NPNS contracts are accounted for using the accrual method of accounting; therefore, amounts payable under these contracts are recorded when we take delivery of the contracted product and no amounts were recorded for the fair value of these contracts in the condensed consolidated financial statements at ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

10. SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAMS

The Company maintains supplier finance programs, under which we agree to pay for invoices that are confirmed as valid under the program from participating suppliers to a financing entity. Maturity dates are generally between 65-120 days and we pay either the supplier or the financing entity depending on the supplier’s election. We do not have an economic interest in a supplier's participation in the program or a direct financial relationship with the financial institution funding the program. As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the outstanding balance of confirmed invoices was $~~214~~210.71 million and $152.8 million respectively and are included in Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $~~213~~332.70 million, a 2425.70% effective tax rate, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $~~152~~284.73 million, a 2325.30% effective tax rate, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. The increased income tax expense in 2025 resulted primarily from the increase of profit before income taxes.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, the Company did not believe it had sufficient positive evidence to conclude that a portion of its foreign net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, ~~there~~and ~~are immaterial tax effects reflected in other comprehensive income. For the six months ended June~~September 3029, 2024, there is a tax effect of $(2.9) million and $(5.1) million, respectively, reflected in other comprehensive income.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and ~~June~~September 3029, 2024, there are immaterial tax effects reflected in income tax expense due to excess tax windfalls and shortfalls related to stock-based compensation.

The Company operates in the U.S. (including multiple state jurisdictions), Puerto Rico and several foreign locations including Mexico, the U.K., the Republic of Ireland and continental Europe. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by taxing authorities for years prior to 2020 in U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions, for years prior to 2010 in Mexico, and for years prior to 2017 in the U.K.

On December 30, 2024, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement (the “Tax Sharing Agreement”) with JBS USA governing the allocation, and certain payment and reimbursement obligations of U.S. income tax liabilities and assets among the Company and its relevant U.S. corporate subsidiaries, on the one hand, and JBS USA and its relevant U.S. subsidiaries, on the other hand. The Tax Sharing Agreement is effective for each tax year beginning on or after December 30, 2024 or such other date in which PPC becomes a member of the Parent Consolidated Group (as defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement).

Starting January 1, 2024, the rules of Pillar II came into effect in various countries, impacting multinational companies operating in those jurisdictions. Considering that the Group operates in several jurisdictions that have implemented the global minimum tax — including France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom — the Company carried out assessment procedures to analyze the potential impacts arising from these regulations. Based on the analyses conducted to date, no material tax exposure has been identified as a result of the application of this tax.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S., introducing various changes to federal tax law. We have evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA and determined that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements through September 30, 2025, nor do we currently anticipate that the OBBBA will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in the future.

On October 4, 2023, the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a Revolving Syndicated Facility Agreement (the “U.S. Credit Facility”) with CoBank, ACB as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto. The U.S. Credit Facility provides for a revolving loan commitment of up to $850.0 million. The loan commitment matures on October 4, 2028.

As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and available borrowings under the revolving credit commitment of $24.2 million and $825.8 million, respectively, and there were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement.

The U.S. Credit Facility requires customary financial and other covenants for transactions of this type, including limitations on 1) liens, 2) indebtedness, 3) sales and other dispositions of assets, 4) dividends, distributions, and other payments in respect of equity interest, 5) investments, and 6) voluntary prepayments, redemptions or repurchases of junior debt. In each case, clauses 1 to 6 are subject to certain exceptions which can be material and certain of such clauses only apply to the Company upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants under the U.S. Credit Facility.

Europe Credit Facility

On June 24, 2022, Moy Park Holdings (Europe) Ltd. (“MPH(E)”) and other Pilgrim’s entities located in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland entered into an unsecured multicurrency revolving facility agreement (the “Europe Credit Facility”) with the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, as agent, and the other lenders party thereto.

14. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company sponsors programs that provide retirement benefits to most of its employees. These programs include qualified defined benefit pension plans in the U.K., such as the Tulip Limited Pension Plan and the Geo Adams Group Pension Fund, nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans, a defined benefit postretirement life insurance plan and defined contribution retirement savings plan. Expenses recognized under all retirement plans totaled $68.46 million and $78.43 million in the three months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and ~~June~~September 3029, 2024, respectively, and $1624.17 million and $1826.69 million in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and ~~June~~September 3029, 2024, respectively.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed the termination of its two U.S. pension plans, Pilgrim’s Pride Retirement Plan for Union Employees (the “Union Plan”) and the Pilgrim’s Pride Pension Plan for Legacy Gold Kist Employees (the “GK Pension Plan”). Under the plan terminations, participants were offered a lump-sum buyout or an annuity placement buyout. Assets of the pension plans were liquidated and funds from liquidation were used to settle the obligations, which amounted to $99.6 million at time of termination.

The Company used a quarter-end measurement date of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 for its pension and postretirement benefits plans. Certain disclosures are listed below. Other disclosures are not material to the financial statements.

The Company maintains seven defined contribution retirement savings plans in the Europe reportable segment for eligible U.K. and Europe employees, as required by U.K. and Europe law. The Company’s expenses related to its defined contribution plans totaled $78.70 million and $7.65 million in the three months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and ~~June~~September 3029, 2024, respectively, and $1725.1 million and $1725.50 million in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and ~~June~~September 3029, 2024, respectively.

15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Table of Contents

15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value must be categorized into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation:


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

Level 2						Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or

Level 3						Unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company held fixed income securities, derivative assets and derivative liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fixed income securities consist of investments, such as money market funds and commercial paper. Derivative assets and liabilities consist of long and short positions on exchange-traded commodity futures instruments, commodity options instruments, sales contracts instruments, foreign currency instruments to manage translation and remeasurement risk.

The following items were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	June 29, 2025						December 29, 2024

See “Note 3. Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information.

The valuation of financial assets and liabilities classified in Level 1 is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The valuation of financial assets and liabilities in Level 2 is determined using a market approach based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The valuation of financial assets in Level 3 is determined using an income approach based on unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. For each class of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but for which fair value is disclosed, the Company is not required to provide the quantitative disclosure about significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In addition to the fair value disclosure requirements related to financial instruments carried at fair value, accounting standards require interim disclosures regarding the fair value of all of the Company’s financial instruments. The methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and any changes in methods or significant assumptions from prior periods are also required to be disclosed.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our debt obligations recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following:

See “Note 12. Debt” for additional information.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their relatively short maturities. Derivative assets were recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices and are included in the line item Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative liabilities were recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices and are included in the line item Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 fixed-rate debt obligations was based on the quoted market price at ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 or December 29, 2024, as applicable.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records certain 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 when required by U.S. GAAP. There were no significant fair value measurement losses recognized for such assets and liabilities in the periods reported.

16. RESTRUCTURING-RELATED ACTIVITIES

In 2022, the Company began restructuring initiatives in its Europe reportable segment. Additional restructuring initiatives also commenced in 2023 and 2024.

18. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Company operates in three reportable segments: U.S., Europe, and Mexico. The Company’s reportable segments are identified by a combination of factors, including geographic area, regulatory environment, economic environment and product portfolios. Each reportable segment is managed separately through a local management team. The results of each operating, or reportable, segment are provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) on a regular basis. The Company’s CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The information provided to the CODM at the operating segment level is then used to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of key resources. The CODM primarily measures segment profit and evaluates performance based on operating income.

We conduct separate operations in the continental U.S. and in Puerto Rico. For segment reporting purposes, the Puerto Rico operations are included in the U.S. reportable segment. The chicken products processed by the U.S. reportable segment are sold to foodservice, retail and frozen entrée customers. The segment’s primary distribution is through retailers, foodservice distributors and restaurants.

The Europe reportable segment processes primarily fresh chicken, pork products, lamb products, specialty meats, ready meals and other prepared foods that are sold to foodservice, retail and direct to consumer customers. The segment’s primary distribution is through retailers, foodservice distributors and restaurants.

The chicken products processed by the Mexico reportable segment are sold to foodservice, retail and frozen entrée customers. The segment’s primary distribution is through retailers, foodservice distributors and restaurants.

Additional information regarding reportable segments is as follows:

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company is a party to many routine contracts in which it provides general indemnities in the normal course of business to third parties for various risks. Among other considerations, the Company has not recorded a liability for any of these indemnities because, based upon the likelihood of payment, the fair value of such indemnities would not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s loan agreements generally obligate the Company to reimburse the applicable lender for incremental increased costs due to a change in law that imposes (1) any reserve or special deposit requirement against assets of, deposits with or credit extended by such lender related to the loan, (2) any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the loan (except standard income tax) or (3) capital adequacy requirements. In addition, some of the Company’s loan agreements contain a withholding tax provision that requires the Company to pay additional amounts to the applicable lender or other financing party, generally if withholding taxes are imposed on such lender or other financing party as a result of a change in the applicable tax law. These increased cost and withholding tax provisions continue for the entire term of the applicable transaction and there is no limitation on the maximum additional amounts the Company could be obligated to pay under such provisions. Any failure to pay amounts due under such provisions generally would trigger an event of default and, in a secured financing transaction, would entitle the lender to foreclose upon the collateral to realize the amount due.

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the Company’s opinion, it has made appropriate and adequate accruals for claims where necessary; however, the ultimate liability for these matters is uncertain, and if significantly different than the amounts accrued, the ultimate outcome could have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation matters or other actions nor when they will be resolved. The consequences of the pending litigation matters are inherently uncertain, and settlements, adverse actions, or adverse judgments in some or all of these matters, including investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or the Attorneys General, may result in monetary damages, fines, penalties, or injunctive relief against the Company, which could be material and could adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage the Company’s reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or to obtain adequate insurance in the future. In addition, the U.S. government’s recent focus on market dynamics in the meat processing industry could expose the Company to additional costs and risks.

The disclosures defined or referenced in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 as the “Broiler Antitrust Litigation,” Hogan v., Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation et al., the Mexican Tax Administration Service’s assessments in connection with PPC’s acquisition of Tyson de México, and the U.K. Revenue & Customs Authority’s review of the 2017 and 2018 tax returns for Onix Investments UK Ltd are hereby incorporated by reference herein, as supplemented by the following disclosures:

“Broiler Antitrust Litigation”

On February 11, 2025, the motions to dismiss Phase 2 of the Broiler Antitrust Litigation that had been filed by PPC and other defendants were denied. Phase 2 discovery has commenced. PPC will seek reasonable settlements with the Broiler Opt Outs where they are available. To date, PPC has incurred expenses of $~~635~~645.01 million, including $5262.56 million in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, to cover settlements with various Broiler Opt Outs.

Hogan v. Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, et al.

On June 27, 2025, the settlement agreement received final court approval. PPC paid the settlement amount of $41.5 million in May 2025.

defendant, as well as PPC’s directors, and majority stockholder, JBS Wisconsin Properties, LLC. The complaint alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties connected to an amendment to PPC’s certificate of incorporation in 2024 that, according to the plaintiffs, benefited JBS Wisconsin Properties, LLC to the detriment of public shareholders, and seeks, among other things, equitable relief. Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss on October 2, 2025. No amounts have been accrued for any potential losses under this matter, as we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the litigation or any potential losses at this early stage in the matter.

Mexican Tax Administration Service’s tax assessments in connection with PPC’s 2015 acquisition of Tyson de México

On February 7, 2025, the Collegiate (appellate) court issued a decision remanding the dispute to the Tax Court. On March 19, 2025, the Tax Court ruled that, for tax purposes and with respect to both assessments, the sale of the equity of Provemex occurred on June 29, 2015, and that Provemex was a Mexican tax resident on that date. PPC appealed this ruling to the Collegiate court on April 23, 2025 and will continue to defend this matter. The amount under appeal for the assessment, including any penalties and interest, is approximately $269.5 million. NoPPC ~~expense~~will seek a reasonable settlement with the tax authority where it is available. The Company has ~~been~~determined ~~recorded~~the loss is probable and as such have made an accrual for ~~this~~an estimated amount atfor this ~~time~~matter, which was immaterial.

U.K. Revenue & Customs Authority’s review of the 2017 and 2018 tax returns for Onix Investments UK Ltd

On March 10, 2025, HMRC filed their Statement of Case (a preliminary summary of arguments). A case management timetable has been agreed between Onix and HMRC and approved by the court, which includes a tentative hearing window between June and October of 2026. Onix will continue to defend this matter. No expense has been recorded for this amount at this time.

There have been no other updates or changes in any other material proceedings compared to the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 29, 2024.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

Overview

Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (referred to herein as “Pilgrim’s,” “PPC,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar terms) is one of the largest chicken producers in the world, with operations in the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Mexico, France, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. We reported net income attributable to Pilgrim’s of $~~651~~994.64 million, or $24.7317 per diluted common share, and income before tax totaling $~~866~~1.03 ~~million~~billion, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025. These operating results included net sales of $914.20 billion, gross profit of $1.39 billion and $~~622~~1.1 ~~million~~billion of cash provided by operating activities. We generated a consolidated operating margin of 910.91%. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, we generated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.17 billion and $1.29 billion, respectively. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included below.

Global Economic Conditions

Our business is subject to global inflationary trends. U.S. inflation rose in August, then slightly ~~during~~decreased in September ending third quarter flat relative to end of the second quarter oflevels, ~~2025~~and slightly above prior year levels. The fluctuations in the third quarter were driven by policy changes, supply chain dynamics, and consumer spending behavior. ~~The~~ U.K. ~~saw~~inflation anremained ~~increase~~relatively instable ~~inflation~~at elevated levels during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025. ~~due~~The toE.U. ~~higher~~region ~~energy~~also ~~costs~~saw ~~and~~a slight increase in ~~wages,~~the ~~while~~inflation ~~the~~rate ~~E.U.~~during ~~region~~the ~~saw~~third aquarter ~~continued~~of ~~decrease~~2025 indriven ~~the~~by ~~inflation~~increased ~~rate~~food prices. The Russia-Ukraine war's impact on the global feed ingredient and energy markets continues to be less pronounced than during the initial onset of the war, but there remain many risks and uncertainties that may impact global markets. In Mexico, inflation ~~continued~~rose togradually ~~increase~~ during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025 partially driven by increased food prices. The peso ~~strengthened~~continued to strengthen against the U.S. dollar during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025, although future trends will be impacted by economic uncertainties in Mexico and with their primary trading partners, such as the U.S.

We are monitoring changes in tariffs and trade policies both in the U.S. and throughout other countries where we operate and do business. Changes to these policies may impact our export sales and international operations. Our U.S. business is primarily characterized with inputs being made in country and our products being sold in country, demonstrated by our export sales from the U.S. accounting for less than 3% of our total net sales. The impact of trade policy changes is uncertain and evolving; however, we do not anticipate material impacts to our results of operations. We will continue to monitor potential impacts and take mitigation actions as necessary.

We generally respond to these challenges in global economic conditions through discussions with customers to mitigate the impact of extraordinary costs we experience. We also continue to focus on operational initiatives that aim to deliver labor efficiencies, better agricultural performance and improved yields.

Raw Materials and Pricing

Our U.S. and Mexico segments use corn and soybean meal as the main ingredients for feed production, while our Europe segment uses wheat, soybean meal and barley as the main ingredients for feed production. The following table reflects the highest and lowest prices reached on nearby futures for one bushel of corn, one ton of soybean meal, and one metric ton of wheat during the current and previous years:

	Corn(a)		Soybean Meal(a)		Wheat(a)
	Highest Price	Lowest Price	Highest Price	Lowest Price	Highest Price	Lowest Price

First Quarter	4.67	4.00	381.2	327.8	184.5	153.7

(a)We obtain corn and soybean meal prices from the Chicago Board of Trade, and we obtain wheat prices from the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange.

U.S. commodity market prices for chicken products continued to trend above the historical five-year average and above the prior year average through the second quarter of 2025. The higher than average prices was primarily driven by elevated boneless breast pricing that exceeded normal seasonal movements throughout the quarter. Prices rose sharply in April, stabilized and peaked in May, then experienced a significant decline in June. Per the June 2025 U.S. Department of Agriculture (or “USDA”) report on poultry slaughter, estimated industry ready-to-cook production during the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 0.2% compared to prior year levels, primarily due to one additional business day in May 2024 and heavier average liveweights.

U.K. pig production declined slightly below prior-year levels by approximately 1.3% in the third quarter of 2025, according to the U.K. Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. This decrease was mainly driven by the prior year having an exceptionally high production level.

Global market prices for the remainder of the year will depend on (1) the evolution of foodservice, retail and export meat demand, (2) factors such as feed production input costs, further spread of avian influenza, or other bird diseases, both domestically and abroad, (3) uncertainty surrounding the general economy, (4) shifts in trade policy that could influence consumer spending dynamics in price-sensitive market segments, and (5) overall meat protein supply.

The increase in net sales per pound was driven by an increase in commodity chicken prices based on market requirements. The increase in sales volume was driven by shifts in product mix.

Gross profit and cost of sales. Gross profit increased by $23.7 million, or 3.4%, from $691.6 million generated in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $715.3 million generated in the three months ended June 29, 2025.

Gross profit and cost of sales. Gross profit decreased by $24.6 million, or 3.6%, from $684.0 million generated in the three months ended September 29, 2024 to $659.4 million generated in the three months ended September 28, 2025. The following tables provide information regarding gross profit and cost of sales information:

U.S. Reportable Segment. Cost of sales incurred by our U.S. operations during the three months ended June 29, 2025 increased $119.5 million, or 5.4%, from cost of sales incurred by our U.S. segment during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by an increase in cost per pound sold of $93.8 million, or 4.2 percentage points and an increase in sales volume of $25.7 million, or 1.2 percentage points. The increase from prior year in cost per pound sold is primarily due to increased fleet, grower pay, labor, packaging, utilities, and other operating costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in live operations costs driven by declining feed ingredients costs, specifically soybean meal. Corn market prices increased approximately 9% from prior year levels and soybean meal market prices decreased approximately 16% from prior year levels.

Cost of sales incurred by our Europe operations during the three months ended June 29, 2025 increased $59.5 million, or 5.0%, from cost of sales incurred by our Europe segment during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and an increase in cost per pound sold of $67.5 million, or 5.7 percentage points, and $19.3 million, or 1.6 percentage points, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in sales volume of $27.3 million, or 2.3 percentage points. The increase in cost per pound sold was driven by increases in labor costs, both from higher national insurance costs and higher temporary labor, repairs and maintenance, and utilities costs.

Cost of sales incurred by our Mexico operations during the three months ended June 29, 2025 decreased $4.6 million, or 1.0%, from cost of sales incurred by our Mexico segment during the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was driven by the favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $60.3 million, or 12.9 percentage points. Partially offsetting this decrease were increases in cost per pound sold and sales volume of $53.7 million, or 11.5 percentage points, and $2.0 million, or 0.4 percentage points, respectively. The increase in cost was primarily driven by an increase in the cost of commodity ingredients, as well as increased costs from broiler health challenges in our live operations.

Europe Reportable Segment. Europe net sales generated in the six months ended June 29, 2025 increased $33.4 million, or 1.3%, from Europe net sales generated in the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and an increase in net sales per pound of $61.5 million, or 2.4 percentage points, and $28.1 million, or 1.1 percentage points, respectively. The increase in net sales was partially offset by a decrease in sales volume of $56.2 million, or 2.2 percentage points. The increase in net sales per pound was primarily due to the pass through of higher input costs, such as feed, labor, and utilities.

Mexico Reportable Segment. Mexico net sales generated in the nine months ended September 28, 2025 decreased $27.7 million, or 1.7%, from Mexico net sales generated in the nine months ended September 29, 2024 primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of $161.2 million, or 10.0 percentage points, partially offset by an increase in sales price per pound and an increase in sales volume of $111.8 million, or 7.0 percentage points, and $21.7 million, or 1.3 percentage points, respectively. The decrease due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation was driven by a year-over-year depreciation of 10% in the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar due to inflation in the Mexican economy, along with uncertainties impacting the exchange rate. The increase in price per pound sold was driven by an increase in commodity chicken pricing due to increased local consumer demand and lower supply due to bird disease.

U.S. Reportable Segment. Cost of sales incurred by our U.S. operations during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 increased $~~133~~205.09 million, or 23.90%, from cost of sales incurred by our U.S. segment during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by an increase in sales volume and an increase in cost per pound sold of $68177.96 million, or 12.56 percentage points, and $6428.13 million, or 10.4 percentage points, respectively. The increase in sales volume was driven by consumer demand. The increase from prior year in cost per pound sold is primarily due to increased labor, fleet, grower pay, ~~packaging,~~ utilities, and other operating costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in live operations costs driven by declining feed ingredients costs, specifically soybean meal. Corn market prices increased approximately 54% from prior year levels and soybean meal market prices decreased approximately 17% from prior year levels.

Europe Reportable Segment. Cost of sales incurred by our Europe operations during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 ~~decreased~~increased $193.08 million, or 2.7%, from cost of sales incurred by our Europe segment during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. The ~~decrease~~increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by ~~decreases~~an increase in ~~sales volume and~~ cost per pound sold and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of $51147.7 6 million, or 24.2 percentage points, and $5100.87 million, or 0.2.9 percentage points, respectively., ~~Partially~~partially ~~offsetting~~offset ~~these~~by ~~decreases~~a ~~was~~decrease ~~the~~in ~~unfavorable~~sales ~~impact~~volume of ~~foreign currency translation of~~ $56154.5 million, or 24.4 percentage points. The increase in cost per pound sold was driven by inflationary impacts of raw materials.

Mexico Reportable Segment. Cost of sales incurred by our Mexico operations during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 ~~decreased~~increased $273.57 million, or 3.0.3%, from cost of sales incurred by our Mexico segment during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. The ~~decrease~~increase in cost of sales was driven by an increase in cost per pound sold and an increase in sales volume of $125.4 million, or 9.1 percentage points, and $18.5 million, or 1.3 percentage points, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases was the favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $~~150~~140.02 million, or 1610.2 1 percentage points. As noted above, there was a year-over-year depreciation of 1710% in the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. ~~This decrease was partially offset by an increase in cost per pound sold and sales volume of $118.7 million, or 12.8 percentage points, and $3.8 million, or 0.4 percentage points, respectively.~~ The increase in cost per pound sold was driven by an increase in year-over-year ~~market~~ prices of commodity ingredients, such as corn which increased ~~over~~about 2014%, while the average market price of soybean meal during the first ~~half~~nine months of 2025 was about 411% below prior year levels.

U.S. Reportable Segment. SG&A expense incurred by our U.S. reportable segment during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 increased $026.89 million, or 09.48%, from SG&A expense incurred by our U.S. reportable segment during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. The increase in SG&A expense resulted primarily from an increase in incentive compensation, ~~and~~ marketing costs, ~~partially~~and ~~offset by a decrease in~~ legal settlement expense.

Europe Reportable Segment. SG&A expense incurred by our Europe reportable segment during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 ~~increased~~decreased $14.12 million, or 12.17%, from SG&A expense incurred by our Europe segment during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024.

The primary driver of the decrease in SG&A expense was the favorable impact of foreign currency translation due to the year-over-year depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in payroll and incentive compensation costs.

Restructuring activities. Restructuring activities costs of $2021.19 million were recognized in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025. These charges were incurred by our Europe reportable segment primarily as a result of ~~primarily~~ severance related to back office consolidation and warehouse closure costs.

Net interest expense. Net interest expense increased to $4877.2 million recognized in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 from $4665.27 million recognized in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. The increase in net interest expense resulted primarily from a prior year gain recognized on early extinguishment of debt, ~~partially~~and ~~offset~~a bydecrease ~~an increase~~ in interest income earned on excess cash due to ~~higher~~lower average cash balances in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024, ~~and~~partially offset by a decrease onin interest expense on outstanding borrowings due to ~~the~~ repurchases of outstanding debt.

Income taxes. Income tax expense increased to $~~213~~332.70 million, a 2425.70% effective tax rate, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 compared to an income tax expense of $~~152~~284.73 million, a 2325.30% effective tax rate, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. The increase in income tax expense resulted primarily from the increase in profit before income taxes.

Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities

The change in trade accounts and other receivables represented a $7584.07 million use of cash related to operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025. This change resulted primarily from an increase in ~~trade accounts receivable due to a decrease in discounted accounts receivables and an increase in~~ sales from more favorable market pricing. The change in trade accounts and other receivables represented a $62.46 million source of cash related to operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. This change primarily resulted from a decrease in trade accounts receivable due to timing of payments received.

The change in inventories represented a $~~105~~138.79 million use of cash related to operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025. This change resulted primarily from ~~increased~~building ~~input costs and an increase in~~ inventories ~~after~~to ~~higher~~meet ~~seasonal~~increased ~~sales~~demand ~~in the U.K.~~ and in anticipation of ~~higher~~fourth ~~demand~~quarter ~~over~~seasonal ~~the summer season~~demand. The change in inventories represented a $~~146~~173.20 million source of cash related to operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. This change resulted primarily from decreased raw ~~material costs~~materials, work-in-process ~~inventories~~inventory values due to lower feed ingredient costs, and lower finished goods inventories.

The change in prepaid expenses and other current assets represented a $1734.46 million use of cash related to operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025. This change resulted primarily from an increase in prepaid indirect taxes in our Mexico and Europe reportable segments, prepaid property insurance, and an increase in prepaid ~~insurance~~grower housing incentives. The change in prepaid expenses and other current assets represented a $4365.56 million use of cash related to operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. This change resulted primarily from an increase in prepaid indirect taxes in our Mexico and Europe reportable segments.

The change in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities represented a $3442.64 million use of cash related to operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025. This change resulted primarily from the payment of incentive compensation accrued for in 2024 and payments of litigation settlements, partially offset by an increase in the days payables outstanding, and increases in accrued payroll and insurance expenses. The change in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities represented a $1479.37 million source of cash related to operating activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 3029, 2024. This change resulted primarily from timing of payments to our suppliers, a reduction in grain input costs, and timing of legal settlement payments.

The change in income taxes, which includes income taxes receivable, income taxes payable, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, reserves for uncertain tax positions, and the tax components within accumulated other comprehensive loss, represented a $895.08 million and $88151.69 million source of cash for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 and ~~June~~September 3029, 2024, respectively.

Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowing Arrangements

Our long-term debt and other borrowing arrangements consist of senior notes, revolving credit facilities and other term loan agreements. For a description, refer to “Note 12. Debt.”

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

“EBITDA” is defined as the sum of net income (loss) plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain items of expense and deducting from EBITDA certain items of income that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance consisting of: (1) foreign currency transaction losses, (2) restructuring activities losses, (3) costs related to litigation settlements, and (4) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. EBITDA is presented because it is used by us and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of results prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, to compare the performance of companies. We believe investors would be interested in our Adjusted EBITDA because this is how our management analyzes EBITDA applicable to continuing operations. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA, in combination with our financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain significant items on EBITDA and facilitates a more direct comparison of our performance with our competitors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:

•They do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•They do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

•Although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•They are not adjusted for all noncash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows;

•EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges attributable to noncontrolling interests;

•They do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider to not be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

•They do not reflect limitations on or costs related to transferring earnings from our subsidiaries to us.

In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only on a supplemental basis.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk-Sensitive Instruments and Positions

The risk inherent in our market risk-sensitive instruments and positions is primarily the potential loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and the credit quality of available-for-sale securities as discussed below. The sensitivity analyses presented do not consider the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity, nor do they consider additional actions our management may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results may differ from those described below.

Commodity Prices

We purchase certain commodities, primarily corn, soybean meal, soybean oil, and wheat, for use as ingredients in the feed we either sell commercially or consume in our live operations. As a result, our earnings are affected by changes in the price and availability of such feed ingredients. We attempt to minimize our exposure to the changing price and availability of such feed ingredients by using various techniques, including, but not limited to, (1) executing purchase agreements with suppliers for future physical delivery of feed ingredients at established prices and (2) purchasing or selling derivative financial instruments such as futures and options.

For this sensitivity analysis, market risk is estimated as a hypothetical 10% increase in the weighted-average cost of our primary feed ingredients as of the periods presented. The impact of this fluctuation, if realized, could be mitigated by related commodity hedging activity. However, fluctuations greater than 10% could occur.

	Three Months Ended June 29, 2025

Feed ingredient inventory(b)	~~162~~136,~~967~~355		1613,~~297~~636

(a)Based on our feed consumption, a 10% increase in the price of our feed ingredient purchases would have increased cost of sales for the three months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025.

(b)A 10% increase in ending feed ingredient prices would have increased inventories as of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025.

	(In thousands)
Net commodity derivative liabilities(a)	$	(389)	$	(39)
Net commodity derivative assets(a)	$	6,362	$	636

(a)We purchase commodity derivative financial instruments, specifically exchange-traded futures and options, in an attempt to mitigate price risk related to our anticipated consumption of commodity inputs for the next 12 months. A 10% increase in corn, soybean meal, soybean oil and wheat prices would have resulted in a change in the fair value of our net commodity derivative position, including margin cash, as of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025.

Interest Rates

Fixed-rate debt. Market risk for fixed-rate debt is estimated as the potential decrease in fair value resulting from a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 10%. Using a discounted cash flow analysis, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would have decreased the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $9290.25 million as of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025.

Foreign Currency

Mexico Foreign Investments

We are exposed to foreign exchange-related variability of investments and earnings from our Mexican subsidiaries. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our financial results or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, market risk is estimated as a hypothetical 10% change in exchange rates used to convert Mexican peso to U.S. dollars, and the effect of this change on our Mexican foreign investments.

Net Assets. As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, our Mexican subsidiaries that are denominated in Mexican peso had net assets of $~~811~~676.08 million. A 10% weakening in Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar exchange rate would cause a decrease in the net

assets of our Mexican subsidiaries by $7361.75 million. A 10% strengthening in the Mexican peso against the U.S dollar exchange rate would cause an increase in the net assets of our Mexican subsidiaries of $9075.12 million.

We are also exposed to the effect of potential currency exchange rate fluctuations to the extent that amounts are repatriated from Mexico to the U.S. The Mexican peso exchange rate can directly and indirectly impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Europe Foreign Investments

We are exposed to foreign exchange-related variability of investments and earnings from our Europe subsidiaries. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our financial results or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For this sensitivity analysis, market risk is estimated as a hypothetical 10% change in exchange rates used to convert British pound and euro to U.S. dollars, and the effect of this change on our Europe foreign investments.

Net Assets. As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, our Europe subsidiaries that are denominated in British pounds had net assets of $~~944~~985.13 million. A 10% weakening in British pound against the U.S. dollar exchange rate would cause a decrease in the net assets of our Europe subsidiaries by $8589.86 million. A 10% strengthening in the British pound against the U.S dollar exchange rate would cause an increase in the net assets of our Europe subsidiaries of $~~104~~109.95 million.

Cash flow hedging transactions. We periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, to hedge foreign currency risk on a portion of sales generated and purchases made by our Europe reportable segment. A 10% weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound and U.S. dollar against the euro would result in immaterial changes in the fair values of these derivative instruments. No assurance can be given as to how future movements in currency rates could affect our future financial condition or results of operations.

Quality of Investments

Certain retirement plans that we sponsor invest in a variety of financial instruments. We have analyzed our portfolios of investments, and to the best of our knowledge, none of our investments, including money market funds units, commercial paper and municipal securities, have been downgraded, and neither we nor any fund in which we participate hold significant amounts of structured investment vehicles, auction rate securities, collateralized debt obligations, credit derivatives, hedge funds investments, fund of funds investments or perpetual preferred securities. Certain postretirement funds in which we participate hold significant amounts of mortgage-backed securities. However, none of the mortgages collateralizing these securities are considered subprime.

Impact of Inflation

The U.S., Mexico, and most of Europe continue to experience inflation at above-historical levels, though to a lesser degree than in the prior year. None of the locations in which we operate are experiencing hyperinflation. We have responded to these inflationary challenges by continuing negotiations with customers to recoup the extraordinary costs we have experienced. We also continue to focus on operational initiatives that aim to deliver labor efficiencies, better agricultural performance and improved yields.

In making these statements, we are not undertaking, and specifically decline to undertake, any obligation to address or update each or any factor in future filings or communications regarding our business or results, and we are not undertaking to address how any of these factors may have caused changes to information contained in previous filings or communications. Although we have attempted to list comprehensively these important cautionary risk factors, we must caution investors and others that other factors may in the future prove to be important and affect our business or results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~June~~September 2928, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that information we are required to disclose in our reports filed with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, identified no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

During 2024, the Company completed the first phase of a multi-year implementation of an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The implementation did not materially affect our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended ~~June~~September 2928, 2025. The second phase of the implementation was completed on April 21, 2025 and we do not expect any material effects to our internal control over financial reporting throughout the remainder of the implementation period.
