The company’s adjusted EBITDA for the year was $295.4 million, a decrease of 7.1% from 2023. Despite these setbacks, the Spices & Flavor Solutions segment showed growth in net sales, driven by increased volumes and favorable pricing.
Looking ahead, B&G Foods has set a cautious outlook for fiscal 2025, with expected net sales ranging from $1.890 billion to $1.950 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $290 million and $300 million.
