Kraft Heinz Q3 2025 business update
KHC
Guidance Update
Demand Weakening
M&A
  • 2025 profit outlook revised due to lower U.S. consumption, delayed Taste Elevation recovery, incremental meat and coffee inflation, and Q3 supply-chain one-offs; not driven by new investments beyond prior communications.
  • Incremental 2025 investments include $300 million in U.S. promotions, ~$80 million in marketing, enhanced R&D spending, and added commercial headcount; further price increases deemed untimely.
  • Q4 2025 outlook anticipates a 100–120 bp headwind from customer inventory phasing, flat consumption, and continued share gains vs. a weakening industry.
  • Emerging Markets ex-Indonesia grew 9.2%; Indonesia (~$300 million revenue, 12% of EM) faces a ~10-point drop in consumer sentiment and distributor disruptions, with recovery expected by mid-2026.
  • Company remains on track to separate into two independent, investment-grade businesses in H2 2026, targeting net debt ~3× EBITDA; both pro forma entities declined low single-digits in Q3.

Kraft Heinz updates Q3 2025 outlook
KHC
Guidance Update
Demand Weakening
  • Kraft Heinz delivered a modest year-over-year top-line recovery in Q3 2025 and updated its 2025 outlook due to weaker U.S. consumer sentiment, incremental meat and coffee inflation, and supply-chain one-offs that will persist for the year.
  • The 25% profit revision reflects lower U.S. consumption, slower taste-elevation recovery (70% of revenue gaining share), and un-recouped inflation rather than incremental spending beyond the $300 million of added U.S. promotions and marketing investments announced earlier.
  • Emerging markets ex-Indonesia grew 9.2%, while Indonesia (≈$300 million revenue) was hit by a nearly 10-point drop in consumer sentiment, distributor disruptions, and inventory corrections, with full recovery expected in H2 2026.
  • Kraft Heinz remains on track to separate into two investment-grade independent companies in 2026, targeting net debt below 4× EBITDA and maintaining disciplined cash flow and organic investment priorities.
