Lamb Weston Unlocks $943 Million In Cash Flow As North America Accelerates!

Lamb Weston reported its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and full-year results characterized by solid performance in its North American segment, offsetting challenges in the international markets. The company demonstrated volume growth in North America for six consecutive quarters, with fourth quarter sales volume rising 11%, contributing to a 9% increase in net sales for the region. Volume gains were accompanied by modest declines in price and mix, attributed to investments in customer partnerships and a shift toward lower-priced channels such as private label and chain accounts. North America’s adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 26% for the full year, benefiting from higher sales volumes, improved operational efficiencies, and cost savings initiatives that exceeded initial targets. These savings helped offset inflationary pressures, including rising raw potato, edible oil, and transportation costs.
