Universal Reports Q4 Revenue of $715.2M

Reports Q4 revenue $715.2M vs $702.3M last year. "Our fiscal year 2026 performance reflected solid execution across much of our business amid a markedly different operating environment than the prior year," said Preston D. Wigner, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Universal. "Coming off exceptionally strong performance for our Tobacco Operations segment in fiscal year 2025, our disciplined marketplace management helped mitigate the impact of oversupply for certain tobacco styles, resulting in only slightly lower segment revenues and sales volumes. Our Ingredients Operations segment delivered growth in revenues and sales volumes despite persistent market headwinds. Fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 results were ultimately impacted by a non-cash, goodwill impairment charge related to our Universal Ingredients-Shank's operation, as well as increased tobacco inventory write-downs, primarily for non-wrapper, dark air-cured tobacco."

Dividend Payable on August 3, 2026
