Marzetti Expects Mid-Single-Digit Revenue Growth for FY2027

Dave Ciesinski, President and CEO of Marzetti Company, said on the company's Q4 call: "I want to share a little bit more about our expectations for next year in terms of the top line. With the benefit of Bachan's, we are expecting mid-single-digit revenue growth. Retail is expected to grow revenue in the mid-single digits, driven really by Bachan's and a modest decline on the base for the factors that Dave Ciesinski highlighted, including the Cyclospora impact. Food service business is expected also to grow in the low to mid-single digits. From a gross profit outlook, we have covered that. SG&A is expected to grow in the 10%-15% range, really driven by the addition of Bachan's SG&A. The base SG&A is expected to grow with inflation. So overall, we feel good about our outlook for fiscal 2027, really benefiting from Bachan's, the food service business, and some work on retail. Maybe bringing it all back together."
