Tyson Foods updates segment reporting effective Q1 fiscal 2026

TSN

Accounting Changes

Effective Q1 fiscal 2026, Tyson Foods no longer allocates corporate expenses and amortization to reportable segments and will separately disclose these items; it also identified International as a new reportable segment.
Segment operating income (loss) is now defined as operating income (loss) less corporate expenses and amortization and is the measure used by the CODM to assess segment performance and allocate resources.
All prior period amounts for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023 have been recast to reflect the new presentation of segment operating income (loss), with revised data provided in Exhibit 99.1.
