On the same call, Chief Executive Officer Brian Deck stated that “our teams are executing well despite the dynamic macro environment.” Management also said it remained “confident in delivering our original earnings guidance for the year.” Second-quarter results instead disclosed delayed revenue and pressured performance in Prepared Food and Beverage, margin friction, and a non-cash impairment charge. Adjusted EPS came in $0.07 below consensus.
