OUTLOOK

As of the most recently published data for fiscal 2026, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) indicates domestic protein production (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) will increase approximately 1% compared to fiscal 2025 levels. The following is a summary of the updated outlook for each of our segments, as well as an outlook for revenue, capital expenditures, net interest expense, liquidity, free cash flow, tax rate and dividends for fiscal 2026. Certain of the outlook numbers include adjusted operating income (loss) (a non-GAAP metric) for each segment. As our accounting cycle results in a 53-week year in fiscal 2026 as compared to a 52-week year in fiscal 2025, the fiscal 2026 outlook is based on a comparable 52-week year. The Company is not able to reconcile its full-year fiscal 2026 projected adjusted results to its fiscal 2026 projected GAAP results because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for these forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Adjusted operating income (loss) should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss) or any other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Investors should rely primarily on the Company's GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions.

Beef

USDA projects domestic production will decrease approximately 2% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025. We anticipate adjusted operating loss between $(600) million to $(400) million in fiscal 2026.

Pork

USDA projects domestic production will increase approximately 3% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025. We anticipate adjusted operating income of $150 million to $250 million in fiscal 2026.

Chicken

USDA projects chicken production will increase approximately 1% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025. We anticipate adjusted operating income of $1,250 million to $1,500 million for fiscal 2026.

Prepared Foods

We anticipate adjusted operating income of $950 million to $1,050 million in fiscal 2026.

International/Other

We anticipate similar results from our foreign operations in fiscal 2026 on an adjusted basis.

Total Company

We anticipate total company adjusted operating income of $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion for fiscal 2026.

Revenue

We expect sales to be up 2% to 4% in fiscal 2026 as compared to fiscal 2025.

Capital Expenditures

We expect capital expenditures between $700 million to $1.0 billion for fiscal 2026. Capital expenditures include investments in profit improvement projects as well as projects for maintenance and repair.

Net Interest Expense

We expect net interest expense to approximate $390 million for fiscal 2026.

Liquidity

We expect total liquidity, which was $3.7 billion as of September 27, 2025, to remain above our minimum liquidity target of $1.0 billion.

Free Cash Flow

We expect free cash flow to be between $0.8 billion and $1.3 billion for fiscal 2026.

Tax Rate

We currently expect our adjusted effective tax rate to approximate 25% for fiscal 2026.

Dividends

Effective November 7, 2025, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend previously declared on August 7, 2025, to $0.51 per share on our Class A common stock and $0.459 per share on our Class B common stock. The increased quarterly dividend is payable on December 15, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2025. The Board also declared on November 7, 2025 a quarterly dividend of $0.51 per share on our Class A common stock and $0.459 per share on our Class B common stock, payable on March 13, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 27, 2026. We anticipate the remaining quarterly dividends in fiscal 2026 will be $0.51 and $0.459 per share of our Class A and Class B common stock, respectively. This results in an annual dividend rate in fiscal 2026 of $2.04 for Class A shares and $1.836 for Class B shares, or a 2% increase compared to the fiscal 2025 annual dividend rate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Tyson and Adjusted EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA, net debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are presented as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are tools intended to assist our management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis. These non-GAAP measures should not be a substitute for their comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures helps management and investors to assess our operating performance from period to period, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt, enhances understanding of our financial performance and highlights operational trends. These measures are widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our calculation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way, which may limit their usefulness of comparative measures.

Definitions

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Net debt to EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA) represents the ratio of our debt, net of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, to EBITDA (and to Adjusted EBITDA). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Expense, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Tyson and Adjusted EPS are defined as EBITDA, Operating Income (Loss), Income before Income Taxes, Income Tax Expense, Net Income Attributable to Tyson and diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding the impacts of any items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis.

Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash Provided by Operating Activities minus payments for Property, Plant and Equipment.
