Marzetti Q4 GAAP EPS rose to $1.76 from $1.18; sales fell 2.2% to $465.0 million
Marzetti reported fourth-quarter and fiscal 2026 results for the period ended June 30, 2026. Quarterly net sales fell 2.2% to $465.0 million, while net income rose to $48.3 million, helped by an $18.5 million gain on the sale of its Milpitas, California, property, and adjusted diluted EPS rose 9.0% to $1.46. For shareholders the picture is mixed: reported quarterly sales declined and part of the profit gain came from the one-time property gain, though fiscal 2026 net income rose to $191.6 million and operating cash flow reached a record $283.8 million.
