- Plans to spin off its global sauces arm from the North American grocery segment by H2 2026 to sharpen focus and improve efficiencies
- Will increase marketing and product innovation investments to address headwinds like high commodity costs and slower emerging-market growth
- Organic net sales of $6.2 B declined 2.5% vs. prior year; constant-currency adjusted operating income of $1.1 B and adjusted EPS of $0.61; YTD free cash flow of $2.5 B (+23%).
- North America organic net sales down 3.8%, while Emerging Markets grew 4.7%; volume/mix headwinds partially offset by price contributions.
- Continued investments in Marketing, R&D, and Technology are driving modest top-line recovery; gross efficiencies of 4.3% YTD against a 3.0% annual goal.
- Returned $1.8 B of incremental capital to stockholders YTD; net leverage remains at ~3.0x as company separation on track for H2 2026.
- 2025 outlook updated: organic net sales down 3.0–3.5%, constant-currency adjusted operating income down 10–12%, adjusted EPS of $2.50–$2.57.
- 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.

- 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 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.
