The company reported a 1% increase in net sales year-over-year, reaching $1.67 billion. Additionally, Lamb Weston has raised its full-year outlook for net sales, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting strong momentum in the North American market.
On October 6, 2026, the company released its results in a filing with the SEC, stating, "We are off to a solid start to the year, delivering first quarter net sales and profit above our expectations." This statement was made by Mike Smith, the president and CEO of Lamb Weston. The company noted that its first-quarter results were driven by strong customer relationships in North America, which fueled sales volume growth.
Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc., classified under the SIC code 2030, operates in the canned, frozen, and preserved fruit, vegetable, and food specialties industry. The company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LW. Its recent filings include an 8-K on October 6, 2026, which detailed its financial performance and outlook.
In the filing, Lamb Weston reported net income of $29 million for the first quarter, with adjusted net income reaching $103 million.
