Brown-Forman reported first quarter fiscal 2027 results for the period ended July 31, 2026, with net sales down 1% to $911 million and operating income down 3% to $252 million. Diluted earnings per share rose 6% to $0.38, and the company reaffirmed its full fiscal 2027 outlook, which calls for approximately flat organic net sales and a 3% to 5% decline in organic operating income.
Net sales fell 1% to $911 million, with organic net sales also down 1%, driven by the end of the Korbel relationship and lower used barrel sales.
Operating income fell 3% to $252 million, and operating margin declined 50 basis points to 27.7%.
Diluted EPS rose 6% to $0.38, aided by lower non-operating postretirement expense and share repurchases made in the prior year.
Fiscal 2027 outlook reaffirmed: organic net sales approximately flat, organic operating income down 3% to 5%, and a regular quarterly dividend of $0.2310 per share payable October 1, 2026.
