Pilgrim’s Pride Reports Strong Q3 2025 Results: A $4.8 Billion Revenue and Robust Growth Strategies

These results showcase Pilgrim's ability to maintain strong performance despite ongoing market volatility, particularly in the commodity sector.

Pilgrim’s Pride has seen substantial growth in its U.S. Fresh segment, attributed to its diversified product offerings and commitment to quality and service. The Case Ready and Small Bird products gained traction due to heightened demand from key customers in both retail and quick-service restaurants (QSR). Investments in the Big Bird segment have also led to improved production efficiencies.

In the Prepared Foods division, net sales surged by over 25% compared to the previous year, with the *Just Bare®* brand leading the charge in the frozen fully cooked category. The brand's market share has increased significantly, enhancing sales velocity above category averages.

In Europe, Pilgrim’s Pride has focused on innovation and differentiation, securing a 10-year supply agreement to bolster growth with key customers. The *Fridge Raiders®* and *Rollover®* brands have experienced accelerated growth, outpacing market averages. The company is keen on strengthening partnerships and enhancing promotional activities to foster further growth.

In Mexico, demand for fresh products continues to exceed market growth, with a notable 9% increase in sales within the Prepared Foods segment. Expansion efforts are on track, aimed at diversifying geographical reach and enhancing product offerings.

Pilgrim’s Pride recently published its 2024 Sustainability Report, highlighting significant progress in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. The company has achieved a 23% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions intensity since 2019 and improved its Global Safety Index by 77%. Additionally, Pilgrim's has provided 5.7 million training hours to enhance team members' skills and career opportunities.

Fabio Sandri, President and CEO of Pilgrim’s Pride, emphasized the importance of maintaining strong relationships with key customers and investing in growth initiatives. “Throughout the quarter, chicken demand remained robust across retail and foodservice given its strong value proposition compared to other proteins,” Sandri stated. He added, “Our diversified portfolio and growth in value-added products have helped mitigate the impact of volatile commodity market fundamentals.”

Pilgrim’s Pride continues to enjoy a strong liquidity position, with a net leverage ratio of approximately 1.0 times adjusted EBITDA. The company has also returned $2 billion to shareholders through special dividends this year, signaling a commitment to providing value to investors while pursuing growth opportunities.

With its robust financial performance, strategic investments, and ongoing commitment to sustainability, Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation is well-positioned for future growth.
