Earnings Call Q1 2025

May 1, 2025 - AI Summary

Earnings Forecasts and Outlook: For Q2 2025, Hershey anticipates a decline in EPS of less than 30%, although overall EPS for the first half of the year is expected to be down about 30% YOY. The company is still focused on achieving balanced top and bottom-line growth for FY 2026 and believes there is a path to earnings growth next year despite the high Cocoa costs and ongoing tariffs.
Tariff Challenges: Hershey expects an unmitigated impact of tariffs to be up to $100 million per quarter in Q3 and Q4, particularly due to Cocoa tariffs and Canadian retaliatory tariffs. The company is actively pursuing mitigation strategies, such as lobbying for exemptions, which they plan to discuss further at the mid-year mark.
Consumer Trends and Market Behavior: The company is observing softening consumer sentiment and a shift toward value-seeking behaviors, impacting snacking categories. Despite this, Hershey’s core chocolate products are holding well due to their emotional connection with consumers.
