(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

In this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise stated, the terms "we," "us," "our" and the "company" refer to The Campbell's Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the indicated periods. The accounting policies we used in preparing these financial statements are substantially consistent with those we applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 3, 2025. Certain reclassifications to our previously reported financial information were made to conform to the current-period presentation.

The results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest July 31, which is August 2, 2026. There will be 52 weeks in 2026. There were 53 weeks in 2025.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to improve income tax disclosures by requiring disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. ~~Early adoption is permitted.~~ We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt the new guidance beginning with our 2026 annual reporting.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures by requiring additional details about specific types of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization) included in certain expense captions. The guidance requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, on an annual basis, disclosure of the definition of selling expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be applied on a prospective basis or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance eliminates references to various stages of a software development project and clarifies the threshold to apply to begin capitalizing costs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be applied on a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. ~~Early adoption is permitted.~~ We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

4. Divestitures

On August 26, 2024, we completed the sale of our Pop Secret popcorn business for $70 million. We recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of $25 million, or $19 million after tax. In connection with the sale, we provided certain transition services to support the business. The business had net sales of $9 million through August 26, 2024. Earnings were not material. The results of the business were reflected within the Snacks reportable segment.

We entered into an agreement to sell our noosa yoghurt business in November 2024. The noosa yoghurt business was purchased as part of the Sovos Brands, Inc. (Sovos Brands) acquisition. In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded $15 million of tax expense related to the sale of the business. We completed the sale on February 24, 2025, for $188 million, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments, which resulted in $5 million of additional proceeds in the first quarter of 2026. The after-tax loss recorded on the sale in 2025 was $15 million. In connection with the sale, we provided certain transition services to support the business. Net sales of the business were $3916 million and $8399 million for the three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~January~~April 2627, 2025, respectively~~, and $99 million through February 24, 2025~~.

____________________________________

(1)Includes the Late July trademark and certain salty snacks and cookie trademarks within our Snacks segment, including Tom's, Jays, Kruncher's, O-Ke-Doke, Stella D'oro and Archway, collectively referred to as our "Allied brands."

Amortization expense was $10 million and $2131 million for the three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and $19 million and $3958 million for the three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~January~~April 2627, 2025, respectively. Amortization expense for the three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~January~~April 2627, 2025 included accelerated amortization expense of $76 million and $1420 million, respectively, on customer relationships, which began in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the loss of certain contract manufacturing customers. As of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, amortizable intangible assets had a weighted-average remaining useful life of 18 years. Amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $40 million per year for each of the next five fiscal years.

As of the 2025 annual impairment testing, indefinite-lived trademarks with approximately 10% or less of excess coverage of fair value over carrying value had an aggregate carrying value of $2.587 billion and included the Rao's, Snyder's of Hanover, Pace, Pacific Foods, Late July and Allied brands trademarks.

The estimates of future cash flows used in determining the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets involve significant management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance, assumed royalty rates, economic conditions, market conditions and cost of capital. Inherent in estimating the future cash flows are uncertainties beyond our control, such as changes in capital markets. The actual cash flows could differ materially from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions, including from the potential impact of tariffs, shifting global trade policies and geopolitical conflicts.

7. Segment Information

Our two operating segments, which are also our reportable segments, are as follows:

•Meals & Beverages, which consists of soup, simple meals and beverages products in retail and foodservice in the U.S. and Canada.

Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM uses segment operating earnings as the profit measure in evaluating segment performance during the annual plan and forecasting process and in monitoring actual performance versus plan. Segment operating earnings are comprised of earnings before interest, taxes and costs associated with restructuring activities, cost savings and optimization initiatives, impairment charges, accelerated amortization and corporate expenses. Unrealized gains and losses on outstanding undesignated commodity hedging activities are excluded from segment operating earnings and are recorded in Corporate as these open positions represent hedges of future purchases. Upon closing of the contracts, the realized gain or loss is transferred to segment operating earnings, which allows the segments to reflect the economic effects of the hedge without exposure to quarterly volatility of unrealized gains and losses. Only the service cost component of pension and postretirement expense is allocated to segments. All other components of expense, including interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service credits and recognized actuarial and curtailment gains and losses are reflected in Corporate and not included in segment operating results. Asset information by segment is not discretely maintained for internal reporting or used in evaluating performance by the CODM.

8. Restructuring Charges, Cost Savings Initiatives and Other Optimization Initiatives

2025 Cost Savings Initiatives

On September 10, 2024, we announced plans to implement cost savings initiatives beginning in 2025, including initiatives to further optimize our supply chain and manufacturing network, optimization of our information technology infrastructure and targeted cost management. We also identified additional opportunities for cost synergies as we integrated Sovos Brands. As of July 28, 2024, we substantially completed our previous multi-year cost savings initiatives and Snyder's-Lance, Inc. cost transformation program and integration and had identified initial opportunities for cost synergies as we integrated Sovos Brands. Certain initiatives from those programs have been incorporated into our 2025 cost savings initiatives. In the third quarter of 2026, we commenced a voluntary early retirement program as part of our cost savings initiatives. The program was available to certain salaried employees who met age and length-of-service criteria. The eligible employees were entitled to receive severance pay and benefits, including enhanced pension benefits for certain employees. Substantially all electing employees will depart the company by December 2026. Cost estimates for the 2025 initiatives, as well as timing for certain activities, are continuing to be developed.

A summary of the pre-tax charges recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to these initiatives is as follows:

The total estimated pre-tax costs for actions that have been identified to date are approximately $310 million, and we expect to incur substantially all of the costs through 2028. These estimates will be updated as the detailed plans are developed.

~~The~~We ~~total~~expect ~~estimated~~the ~~pre-tax~~ costs for the actions that have been identified to date ~~are~~to consist of the following: approximately $~~245~~90 million, in severance pay and webenefits; ~~expect~~approximately to$55 ~~incur~~million ~~substantially~~in ~~all~~asset ofimpairment ~~the~~and accelerated depreciation; and approximately $165 million in implementation costs ~~through~~and ~~2028~~other related costs. ~~These~~We ~~estimates~~expect ~~will~~these pre-tax costs to be ~~updated~~associated with our segments as ~~the~~follows: ~~detailed~~Meals ~~plans~~& ~~are~~Beverages ~~developed~~- approximately 54%; Snacks - approximately 26% and Corporate - approximately 20%.

Of the aggregate $245 million of pre-tax costs identified to date, we expect approximately $185 million will be cash expenditures. In addition, we expect to invest approximately $215 million in capital expenditures, of which we invested $187 million as of February 1, 2026. The capital expenditures primarily relate to optimization of production within our manufacturing network, optimization of information technology infrastructure and applications and implementation of our existing SAP enterprise-resource planning system for Sovos Brands.

In the third quarter of 2026, we commenced a voluntary early retirement program as part of our cost savings initiatives. The program is available to certain salaried employees who meet age and length-of-service criteria. We currently do not know which employees will elect to participate and therefore are unable to estimate the costs of the program, although we expect these costs to consist primarily of severance pay and benefits, including enhanced pension benefits. We will provide an estimate of the costs expected to be incurred as the program is executed.

Other Optimization Initiatives

In the second quarter of 2024, we began implementation of an initiative to improve the effectiveness of our Snacks direct-store-delivery route-to-market network. Pursuant to this initiative we will purchase certain Pepperidge Farm and Snyder's-Lance routes where there are opportunities to unlock greater scale in select markets, combine them and sell the combined routes to independent contractor distributors. We expect to execute this program in a staggered rollout and to incur expenses of up to approximately $115 million through 2029. In the three- and nine-month ~~period~~periods ended ~~February~~May 13, 2026, we incurred $2 million and $20 million in Marketing and selling expenses related to this initiative, respectively. In the ~~six~~three- and nine-month periods ended ~~February~~April 127, ~~2026 and January 26,~~ 2025, we incurred $18 9 million and $817 million in Marketing and selling expenses and $1 million in Administrative expenses related to this initiative, respectively. As of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, we have incurred $4345 million in Marketing and selling expenses and $1 million in Administrative expenses related to this initiative.

9. Earnings per Share (EPS)

For the periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, the calculations of basic EPS and EPS assuming dilution vary in that the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution include the incremental effect of stock options and other share-based payment awards, except when such effect would be antidilutive. The earnings per share calculation for the three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~February~~May 13, 2026 excludes approximately 1 million stock options that would have been antidilutive. The earnings per share calculation for the three- and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~January~~April 2627, 2025 excludes less than 1 million stock options that would have been antidilutive.

10. Pension and Postretirement Benefits

The ~~actuarial~~special ~~loss~~termination pension benefits for the ~~six~~three- and nine-month ~~period~~periods ended ~~January 26~~May 3, ~~2025~~ ~~was~~2026 ~~due~~related to ~~the~~a ~~remeasurement~~voluntary ofearly ~~our~~retirement ~~postretirement~~program ~~plan~~offered inunder ~~the~~our ~~first~~cost ~~quarter~~savings ~~due to a plan amendment~~initiatives. ~~The~~See ~~actuarial~~also ~~loss~~Note ~~was primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation~~8.

The curtailment gains for three- and nine-month periods ended May 3, 2026 primarily related to plan amendments of certain pension plans to freeze future benefit accruals (other than interest credits on already accrued benefits), effective as of

August 1, 2028, for certain salaried employees.

The actuarial gains for the three- and nine-month periods ended May 3, 2026 resulted from the remeasurement of certain pension plans in the third quarter due to plan amendments and activity under our cost savings initiatives. The actuarial gains were primarily due to gains on plan assets that exceeded the expected return, partially offset by decreases in the discount rates used to determine the benefit obligations. The actuarial loss for the nine-month period ended April 27, 2025 resulted from the remeasurement of our postretirement plan in the first quarter due to a plan amendment. The actuarial loss was primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation.

11. Leases

The components of lease costs were as follows:

12. Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt

In August 2023, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registered an indeterminate amount of debt securities. Under the registration statement we may issue debt securities from time to time, depending on market conditions. On December 15, 2025, pursuant to the registration statement, we completed the issuance of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $550 million aggregate principal amount of notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.55% per annum, due March 21, 2031, with interest payable semi-annually on each of March 21 and September 21 commencing March 21, 2026. The notes contain customary covenants and events of default. If a change of control triggering event occurs, we will be required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes to repay a portion of our outstanding commercial paper and ~~plan~~used ~~to use~~ the remaining proceeds to repay existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. WeIn ~~have~~March ~~$400~~2026, ~~million~~we ~~aggregate~~used ~~principal~~a ~~amount~~portion of ~~senior~~the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes ~~maturing~~along inwith ~~March~~cash ~~2026~~on ~~that~~hand weand ~~expect~~the toissuance ~~repay~~of ~~using~~commercial ~~available~~paper ~~resources,~~to ~~which~~repay ~~may~~$400 ~~include~~million ~~cash~~aggregate onprincipal ~~hand,~~amount ~~commercial~~of ~~paper~~senior ~~and/or~~notes ~~our~~that ~~revolving~~matured ~~credit~~in ~~facility~~March 2026.

In the second quarter of 2026, we entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $600 million ~~as of February 1, 2026~~. The instruments effectively convert a portion of our $800 million 4.75% Notes due March 23, 2035 from fixed-rate to variable-rate debt with interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a margin. See Note 13 for additional information.

13. Financial Instruments

The principal market risks to which we are exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. In addition, we are exposed to price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. In order to manage these exposures, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative contracts such as swaps, rate locks, options, forwards and commodity futures. We enter into these derivative contracts for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures, and the contracts do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and do not use leveraged instruments. Our derivative programs include instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, we enter into contracts only with carefully selected, leading, credit-worthy financial institutions, and distribute contracts among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. We did not have credit risk-related contingent features in our derivative instruments as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, or August 3, 2025.

We are also exposed to credit risk from our customers. During 2025, our largest customer accounted for approximately 21% of our consolidated net sales. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 47% of our consolidated net sales in 2025.

We closely monitor credit risk associated with counterparties and customers.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, primarily the Canadian dollar and Euro, related to intercompany transactions and third-party transactions. We utilize foreign exchange forward and option contracts to hedge these exposures. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. We hedge portions of our forecasted foreign currency transaction exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts for periods typically up to 18 months. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $~~192~~223 million as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and $183 million as of August 3, 2025. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the initial fair value of hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in earnings under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and is presented in the same statement of earnings line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and the amounts recognized in earnings is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and option contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $~~167~~99 million as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and $413 million as of August 3, 2025.

Interest Rate Risk

We manage our exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps in order to maintain our variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines.

We18 manage our exposure to interest volatility on future debt issuances by entering into forward starting interest rate swaps or treasury lock contracts to hedge the rate on the interest payments related to the anticipated debt issuance. The forward starting interest rate swaps or treasury lock contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and reclassified into Interest expense over the life of the debt issued. The change in fair value on undesignated instruments is recorded in Interest expense. In conjunction with the issuance of senior unsecured notes on October 2, 2024, due on March 23, 2035, we settled forward starting interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $700 million at a gain of less than $1 million. The gain on these instruments was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and will be recognized in Interest expense over the life of the debt. There were no forward starting interest rate swaps or treasury lock contracts outstanding as of February 1, 2026 and August 3, 2025.

In the second quarter of 2026, we entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of a portion of our previously issued senior unsecured notes attributable to the change in the benchmark interest rate. The instruments effectively convert a portion of our $800 million 4.75% Notes due March 23, 2035 from fixed-rate to variable-rate debt with interest based on SOFR plus a margin. The fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps are designated as fair-value hedges. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in Interest expense along with the offsetting changes in the fair value of the related hedged portion of long-term debt. The notional amount of fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps was $600 million as of May 3, 2026. There were no fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps outstanding as of August 3, 2025.

Commodity Price Risk

We principally use a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. We also enter into commodity futures, options and swap contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of wheat, diesel fuel, natural gas, soybean oil, cocoa, aluminum, soybean meal and corn. Commodity futures, options and swap contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. We hedge a portion of commodity requirements for periods typically up to 18 months. There were no commodity contracts designated as cash-flow hedges as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, or August 3, 2025. The notional amount of commodity contracts not designated as accounting hedges was $~~156~~90 million as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and $184 million as of August 3, 2025. The change in fair value on undesignated instruments is recorded in Cost of products sold.

17We have a supply contract under which prices for certain raw materials are established based on anticipated volume requirements over a twelve-month period. Certain prices under the contract are based in part on certain component parts of the raw materials that are in excess of our needs or not required for our operations, thereby creating an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. We net settle amounts due under the contract with our counterparty. The notional amount was $58 million as of May 3, 2026, and $49 million as of August 3, 2025. The change in fair value on the embedded derivative is recorded in Cost of products sold.

Certain prices under the contract are based in part on certain component parts of the raw materials that are in excess of our needs or not required for our operations, thereby creating an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. We net settle amounts due under the contract with our counterparty. The notional amount was $79 million as of February 1, 2026, and $49 million as of August 3, 2025. The change in fair value on the embedded derivative is recorded in Cost of products sold.

Deferred Compensation Obligation Price Risk

We enter into swap contracts which hedge a portion of exposures relating to the total return of certain deferred compensation obligations. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Unrealized gains (losses) and settlements are included in Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We enter into these contracts for periods typically not exceeding 12 months. The notional amounts of the contracts were $76 million as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and August 3, 2025.

We do not offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if we were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 1, 2026, and August 3, 2025, would be adjusted as detailed in the following table:

However, if we were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 3, 2026, and August 3, 2025, would be adjusted as detailed in the following table:


	May 3, 2026						August 3, 2025
(Millions)	Gross Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet		Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Subject to Netting Agreements		Net Amount		Gross Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet		Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Subject to Netting Agreements		Net Amount

Total liability derivatives	$	18	$	(9)	$	9	$	14	$	(5)	$	9

We are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of open positions for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments. A cash margin asset balance of less than $1 million at May 3, 2026, and a liability balance of less than $1 million at August 3, 2025, were included in Other current assets and Accrued liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following tables show the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash-flow hedges in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI) and the Consolidated Statements of Earnings:

14. Fair Value Measurements

We categorize financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs, which are valued based on our estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. When available, we use unadjusted quoted market prices to measure the fair value and classify such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, we base fair value upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Included in the fair value of derivative instruments is an adjustment for credit and nonperformance risk.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables present our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. Cash equivalents represent fair value as these highly liquid investments have an original maturity of three months or less. There were ~~$83~~no ~~million of~~ cash equivalents with fair value based on Level 2 inputs at ~~February~~May 13, 2026., ~~There~~and ~~were no cash equivalents with fair value based on Level 2 inputs at~~ August 3, 2025.

The fair value of short- and long-term debt was $6.~~751~~479 billion at ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and $6.545 billion at August 3, 2025. The carrying value was $7.~~075~~01 billion at ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and $6.857 billion at August 3, 2025. The fair value of long-term debt is principally estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates.

15. Share Repurchases

In September 2024, the Board authorized an anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million (September 2024 program) to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under our stock compensation programs. The September 2024 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the September 2024 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. The September 2024 program replaced an anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million that was approved by the Board in June 2021 and has been terminated.

During the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~February~~May 13, 2026 and ~~January~~April 2627, 2025, we repurchased 805 thousand shares at a cost of $26 million and 1.~~134~~247 million shares at a cost of $5660 million, respectively, pursuant to our anti-dilutive share repurchase programs. As of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, approximately $172 million remained available under the September 2024 program and approximately $301 million remained available under the September 2021 program.

16. Stock-based Compensation

We provide compensation benefits by issuing stock options, unrestricted stock, and restricted stock units (including time-lapse restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units subject to a relative total shareholder return (TSR) modifier, performance restricted stock units and TSR performance restricted stock units). In 2026, we issued time-lapse restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, and performance restricted stock units subject to a TSR modifier. We last issued TSR performance restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units in 2025 and stock options in 2019.

In connection with the Sovos Brands acquisition, in the third quarter of 2024, we issued time-lapse restricted stock units (Replacement units) in exchange for certain Sovos Brands restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units. The Replacement units were subject to the same terms and conditions of the original Sovos Brands restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units. Certain Replacement units were subject to accelerated vesting.

In determining stock-based compensation expense, we estimate forfeitures expected to occur. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense and tax-related benefits recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				~~Six~~Nine Months Ended
(Millions)	~~February~~May 13, 2026		~~January~~April 2627, 2025		~~February~~May 13, 2026		~~January~~April 2627, 2025

No options were exercised during the ~~six~~nine-month period ended ~~January~~April 2627, 2025. We measured the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

We expensed stock options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement eligible participants, which we expensed on an accelerated basis. As of January 2022, compensation related to stock options was fully expensed.

The following table summarizes time-lapse restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units activity:

	Units	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Nonvested at August 3, 2025	2,935	$	44.98
Granted	1,~~860~~908	$	31.8165

Nonvested at February 1, 2026	3,391	$	37.85
Nonvested at May 3, 2026	3,208	$	37.53

We determine the fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units based on the quoted price of our stock at the date of grant. We expense time-lapse restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants and certain Replacement units, which we expense on an accelerated basis.

In 2022 through 2025, we granted performance restricted stock units that will be earned upon the achievement of our EPS compound annual growth rate goal, measured over a three-year period. The actual number of the performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date could range from 0% to 200% of the initial grant depending on performance achieved. The fair value of the performance restricted stock units was based upon the quoted price of our stock at the date of grant. We expense performance restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. We estimate expense based on the number of awards expected to vest. In the first quarter of 2026, recipients of the performance restricted stock units earned 48% of the initial grants based upon performance achieved during a three-year period ended August 3, 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, recipients of the performance restricted stock units earned 100% of the initial grants based upon performance achieved during a three-year period ended July 28, 2024. There were ~~528~~516 thousand of the performance target grants outstanding at ~~February~~May 13, 2026, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $44.3028.

As of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units was $6249 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 21.09 years. The fair value of time-lapse and performance restricted stock units vested during the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and ~~January~~April 2627, 2025, was $3336 million and $6368 million, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the time-lapse and performance restricted stock units granted during the ~~six~~nine-month period ended ~~January~~April 2627, 2025 was $4847.3497.

The following table summarizes performance restricted stock units subject to a TSR modifier and TSR performance restricted stock units activity:

	Units	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Nonvested at August 3, 2025	809	$	47.20
Granted	1,~~096~~132	$	3433.1284

Nonvested at February 1, 2026	1,569	$	37.59
Nonvested at May 3, 2026	1,546	$	37.36

We estimated the fair value of performance restricted stock units subject to a TSR modifier and TSR performance restricted stock units at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation.

Weighted-average assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation for grants were as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	Nine Months Ended
	February 1, 2026	January 26, 2025
	May 3, 2026	April 27, 2025
Risk-free interest rate	3.6867%	3.5256%
Expected dividend yield	4.7780%	3.0106%
Expected volatility	23.7076%	22.4643%
Expected term	3 years	3 years

In 2026, we granted performance restricted stock units that will be earned upon the achievement of our annual EPS and organic net sales growth rate goals during a three-year period subject to a relative TSR modifier. The number of units earned based upon the achievement of each growth rate goal may be further increased or reduced based upon our TSR ranking during a three-year period compared to the respective TSR of companies in a performance peer group. The actual number of performance restricted stock units subject to a TSR modifier ultimately issued at the vesting date could range from 0% to 250% of the initial grant depending on performance achieved.

We expense performance restricted stock units subject to a TSR modifier and TSR performance restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period, except for awards issued to retirement eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. As of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, total remaining unearned compensation related to performance restricted stock units subject to a TSR modifier and TSR performance restricted stock units was $2717 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 2.10 years. In the first quarter of 2026, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 50% of the initial grants based upon our TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended August 1, 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 175% of the initial grants based upon our TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 26, 2024. As a result, approximately 199 thousand additional shares were awarded. The fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units vested during the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and ~~January~~April 2627, 2025, was $4 million and $23 million, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the TSR performance restricted stock units granted during the ~~six~~nine-month period ended ~~January~~April 2627, 2025, was $4745.3323.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Regulatory and Litigation Matters

We are involved in various pending or threatened legal or regulatory proceedings, including purported class actions, arising from the conduct of business both in the ordinary course and otherwise. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the trial court. In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters. This variability in pleadings, together with our actual experiences in litigating or resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, demonstrates to us that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value.

Due to the unpredictable nature of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time is normally difficult to ascertain. Uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the

2426

~~evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the~~ context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion practice, or at trial or on appeal. Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will themselves view the relevant evidence and applicable law.

On March 20, 2024, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and National Education Law Center, on behalf of Environment America and Lake Erie Waterkeeper, filed lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio – Western Division concerning alleged violations of the Clean Water Act relating to alleged contaminant discharges from our Napoleon, Ohio wastewater treatment facility in excess of the facility’s Clean Water Act permit limits. We have and are continuing to take actions to remediate the exceedances and are in settlement discussions with the DOJ and the private environmental groups while litigation proceedings are ongoing. While we cannot predict with certainty the amount of any civil penalty or the timing of the resolution of this matter, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We establish liabilities for litigation and regulatory loss contingencies when information related to the loss contingencies shows both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that some matters could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish accruals in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026. While the potential future charges could be material in a particular quarter or annual period, based on information currently known by us, we do not believe any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Other Contingencies

We have provided certain indemnifications in connection with divestitures, contracts and other transactions. Certain indemnifications have finite expiration dates. Liabilities recognized based on known exposures related to such matters were not material at ~~February~~May 13, 2026.

18. Supplier Finance Program Obligations

To manage our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, including the extension of payment terms. Our current payment terms with our suppliers, which we deem to be commercially reasonable, generally range from 0 to 120 days. We also maintain agreements with third-party administrators that allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from us, and, at the sole discretion of the supplier, sell those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. Supplier participation in these agreements is voluntary. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions regarding these transactions. We have not pledged assets as security or provided any guarantees in connection with these arrangements. The payment of these obligations is included in cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under these programs, which are included in Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $~~254~~253 million at ~~February~~May 13, 2026 and $240 million at August 3, 2025.

Business Trends

Our industry continues to navigate a dynamic operating and regulatory environment driven by commodity cost volatility, supply chain pressures, tariffs and shifting global trade policies, evolving consumer purchasing and spending patterns and other economic uncertainties. ~~Through~~On a year-to-date basis, through the ~~second~~third quarter, we have experienced elevated input cost inflation, impacts from tariffs and other supply chain costs. We expect elevated inflationary pressures to persist through the remainder of 2026 and anticipate the need to benefit from continued supply chain productivity, ~~benefits from~~ cost savings initiatives and tariff mitigation efforts to offset some of these costs~~, and we expect inflationary pressures to moderate throughout 2026~~. We expect consumer trends to continue to evolve and our volumes to improve over time; however, shifting consumer behaviors, economic pressures, and the challenges of persistent inflation may continue to negatively impact our volumes throughout 2026. ~~On February 28, 2026, a military conflict commenced in the Middle East involving the United States, Israel and Iran.~~ Although we have no operations in the Middle East, the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in ~~the~~that region, ~~could~~including ~~lead~~between toIran and the United States, have caused significant disruption ofto energy supplies and increases in global energy prices, which ~~could~~has ~~heighten~~heightened inflationary pressures, ~~disrupt~~disrupted global supply chains and adversely ~~impact~~impacted consumer spending patterns. WeAs the situation is rapidly changing, we will continue to evaluate the evolving macroeconomic environment and take actions to mitigate the impact on our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In34 Meals & Beverages, sales decreased 4%. Excluding the impact from the divestiture of the noosa yoghurt business, sales decreased primarily due to declines in U.S. soup, Prego pasta sauces, Canada, V8 beverages and Pace Mexican sauces, partially offset by gains in Rao's. Unfavorable volume/mix was partially offset by favorable net price realization. Sales were impacted by an approximate 1% headwind as a result of storm-related shipment delays in January. Sales of U.S. soup decreased 3% primarily due to decreases in ready-to-serve soups and condensed soups, partially offset by increases in broth.

In Snacks, sales decreased 4%. Excluding the impact from the divestiture of the Pop Secret popcorn business, sales decreased primarily due to declines in chips, crackers, third-party partner brands and contract manufacturing, fresh bakery related to supply constraints, and declines in ~~crackers and~~ pretzels, partially offset by gains in Pepperidge Farm cookies. Sales were impacted by volume/mix declines, partially offset by favorable net price realization.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, defined as Net sales less Cost of products sold, decreased by $~~177~~255 million in 2026 from 2025. As a percent of sales, gross profit declined to 28.84% in 2026 from 30.94% in 2025, due in part to the negative impact of tariffs.

Marketing and Selling Expenses

Marketing and selling expenses as a percent of sales were 9.65% in 2026 compared to 9.31% in 2025. Marketing and selling expenses were comparable in 2026 and 2025. Lower selling expenses (approximately 21 ~~points~~point); ~~and~~ increased benefits from cost savings initiatives (approximately 1 point) and lower incentive compensation (approximately 1 point) were offset by higher marketing expenses (approximately 1 point); higher costs associated with costs savings and optimization initiatives (approximately 21 ~~points~~point) and higher benefit-related costs (approximately 1 point).

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 6.23% in 2026 and 2025. Administrative expenses decreased 4% in 2026 from 2025. The decrease was primarily due to increased benefits from cost savings initiatives (approximately 4 points); lower incentive compensation (approximately 2 points); and lower costs associated with cost savings initiatives (approximately 1 point), partially offset by higher general administrative costs and inflation (approximately 2 points) and an increase in certain litigation expenses (approximately 31 ~~points~~point).

Other Expenses / (Income)

Other expenses were $1624 million in 2026 compared to $84244 million in 2025. Other expenses in 2026 included ~~costs~~cost associated with acost ~~pending~~savings initiatives of $38 million, costs associated with an acquisition of $24 million and pension actuarial and curtailment gains of $30 million. Other expenses in 2025 included impairment charges related to the Snyder's of Hanover, Allied brands and Late July trademarks of $26176 million, a loss of $25 million on the sale of the Pop Secret popcorn business, accelerated amortization expense of $1420 million and a postretirement actuarial loss of $2 million.

Operating earnings from Meals & Beverages decreased 1415%. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit and the impact of the divestiture. Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to the gross impact of tariffs, cost inflation and other supply chain costs and unfavorable volume/mix, partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements, favorable net price realization and benefits from cost savings initiatives.

Operating earnings from Snacks decreased 2226%. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit. Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to cost inflation and other supply chain costs, the gross impact of tariffs and unfavorable volume/mix, partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements, favorable net price realization and benefits from cost savings initiatives.

partially offset by supply chain productivity improvements, favorable net price realization and benefits from cost savings initiatives.

•costs of $52112 million related to costs savings and optimization initiatives;

•$11 million of certain litigation expenses, including expenses related to Plum;

•$24 million of costs associated with aan ~~pending~~ acquisition;

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $~~163~~246 million in 2026 decreased from $~~175~~260 million in 2025 primarily due to lower levels of debt.

Taxes on Earnings

The effective tax rate was 2423.58% in 2026 and 2625.43% in 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to $15 million of ~~deferred~~ tax expense related to the sale of the noosa yoghurt business in the prior year ~~and the favorable resolution of certain state tax matters in the current year~~, partially offset by excess tax benefits in the prior year and shortfalls in the current year associated with the vesting of stock-based compensation awards.

Restructuring Charges, Cost Savings Initiatives and Other Optimization Initiatives

2025 Cost Savings Initiatives

On September 10, 2024, we announced plans to implement cost savings initiatives beginning in 2025, including initiatives to further optimize our supply chain and manufacturing network, optimization of our information technology infrastructure and targeted cost management. We also identified additional opportunities for cost synergies as we integrated Sovos Brands~~, Inc~~. ~~(Sovos Brands).~~ As of July 28, 2024, we substantially completed our previous multi-year cost savings initiatives and Snyder's-Lance, Inc. cost transformation program and integration and had identified initial opportunities for cost synergies as we integrated Sovos Brands. Certain initiatives from those programs have been incorporated into our 2025 cost savings initiatives. In the third quarter of 2026, we commenced a voluntary early retirement program as part of our cost savings initiatives. The program was available to certain salaried employees who met age and length-of-service criteria. The eligible employees were entitled to receive severance pay and benefits, including enhanced pension benefits for certain employees. Substantially all electing employees will depart the company by December 2026. Cost estimates for the 2025 initiatives, as well as timing for certain activities, are continuing to be developed.

A summary of the cumulative pre-tax costs associated with the initiatives is as follows:

(Millions)	Recognized as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026
Severance pay and benefits	$	2976
Asset impairment/accelerated depreciation	4252
Implementation costs and other related costs	7383
Total	$	~~144~~211

The total estimated pre-tax costs for actions that have been identified to date are approximately $~~245~~310 million, and we expect to incur substantially all of the costs through 2028. These estimates will be updated as the detailed plans are developed.

We expect the costs for the actions that have been identified to date to consist of the following: approximately $3590 million in severance pay and benefits; approximately $55 million in asset impairment and accelerated depreciation; and approximately $~~155~~165 million in implementation costs and other related costs. We expect these pre-tax costs to be associated with our segments as follows: Meals & Beverages - approximately 5654%; Snacks - approximately 2326% and Corporate - approximately 2120%.

Of the aggregate $~~245~~310 million of pre-tax costs identified to date, we expect approximately $~~185~~215 million will be cash expenditures. In addition, we expect to invest approximately $~~215~~220 million in capital expenditures, of which we invested $~~187~~208 million as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026. The capital expenditures primarily relate to optimization of production within our manufacturing network, optimization of information technology infrastructure and applications and implementation of our existing SAP enterprise-resource planning system for Sovos Brands.

We expect the initiatives, once all phases are implemented, to generate annual ongoing savings of approximately $375 million by the end of 2028. As of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, we have generated total program-to-date pre-tax savings of $~~180~~200 million.

Other Optimization Initiatives

In the second quarter of 2024, we began implementation of an initiative to improve the effectiveness of our Snacks direct-store-delivery route-to-market network. Pursuant to this initiative we will purchase certain Pepperidge Farm and Snyder's-Lance routes where there are opportunities to unlock greater scale in select markets, combine them and sell the combined routes to independent contractor distributors. We expect to execute this program in a staggered rollout and to incur expenses of up to approximately $115 million through 2029. In the three-~~month~~ ~~period ended February 1, 2026, we incurred $2 million in Marketing~~ and ~~selling expenses related to this initiative. In the six~~nine-month periods ended ~~February~~May 13, 2026 ~~and January 26~~, ~~2025,~~ we incurred $182 million and $8 million in Marketing and selling expenses related to this initiative, respectively. As of February 1, 2026, we have incurred $43 million in Marketing and selling expenses and $1 million in Administrative expenses related to this initiative.

$20 million in Marketing and selling expenses related to this initiative, respectively. In the three- and nine-month periods ended April 27, 2025, we incurred $9 million and $17 million in Marketing and selling expenses and $1 million in Administrative expenses related to this initiative, respectively. As of May 3, 2026, we have incurred $45 million in Marketing and selling expenses and $1 million in Administrative expenses related to this initiative.

Potential Future Initiatives

We continue to explore additional opportunities for cost savings designed to enhance operating efficiency, which may result in additional restructuring actions in the future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We expect foreseeable liquidity and capital resource requirements to be met through anticipated cash flows from operations; long-term borrowings; short-term borrowings, which may include commercial paper; credit facilities; and cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our sources of financing will be adequate to meet our future requirements.

Operating Activities

We generated cash flows from operations of $~~740~~839 million in 2026, compared to $~~737~~872 million in 2025. The ~~increase~~decline in 2026 was primarily due to ~~changes~~lower incash ~~working~~earnings, ~~capital~~partially ~~mostly~~ offset by ~~lower~~changes ~~cash~~in ~~earnings~~working capital.

We had ~~positive~~negative working capital of $40395 million as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and ~~negative working capital of~~ $674 million as of August 3, 2025. AsCurrent ~~of August 3, 2025, current~~ assets were less than current liabilities, which included debt maturing in one year, due to a focus on lowering core working capital requirements. Total debt maturing within one year was $~~428~~864 million as of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, and $762 million as of August 3, 2025. We have $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes maturing in March 2026 that we expect to repay using available resources, which may include cash on hand, commercial paper and/or our revolving credit facility.

As part of our focus to lower core working capital requirements, we have worked with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, including the extension of payment terms. Our current payment terms with our suppliers, which we deem to be commercially reasonable, generally range from 0 to 120 days. We also maintain agreements with third-party administrators that allow participating suppliers to track payment obligations from us, and, at the sole discretion of the supplier, sell those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. Supplier participation in these agreements is voluntary. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to enter into these agreements and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions regarding these transactions. We have not pledged assets as security or provided any guarantees in connection with these arrangements. The payment of these obligations is included in cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under these programs, which are included in Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were approximately $~~254~~253 million at ~~February~~May 13, 2026 and $240 million at August 3, 2025.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures were $~~227~~297 million in 2026 and $~~211~~296 million in 2025. Capital expenditures in 2026 included network optimization for our Meals & Beverages business, information technology projects and wastewater initiatives. Capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $370 million in 2026.

In Snacks, we have a direct-store-delivery distribution model that uses independent contractor distributors. From time to time, we purchase and sell routes, including certain routes under our optimization initiatives. The purchase and sale proceeds of the routes are reflected in investing activities.

On August 26, 2024, we sold our Pop Secret popcorn business for $70 million. On February 24, 2025, we sold the noosa yoghurt business for $188 million, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments, which resulted in $5 million of additional proceeds in the first quarter of 2026.

Financing Activities

Dividend payments were $~~237~~354 million in 2026 and $~~227~~343 million in 2025. The regular quarterly dividend paid on our capital stock was $.39 per share in both the ~~second~~third quarter of 2026 and 2025. On ~~November~~February 1825, ~~2025~~2026, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.39 per share payable on ~~February~~May 24, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April ~~January 8~~2, 2026. On ~~February~~May 2513, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.39 per share payable on ~~May~~August 43, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on ~~April~~July 2, 2026.

In September 2021, the Board approved a strategic share repurchase program of up to $500 million (September 2021 program). The September 2021 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the September 2021 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. In September 2024, the Board authorized an anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million (September 2024 program) to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under our stock compensation programs. The September 2024 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the September 2024 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. The September 2024 program replaced an anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million that was approved by the Board in June 2021 and has been terminated. During the ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~February~~May 13, 2026 and ~~January~~April 2627, 2025, we repurchased 805 thousand shares at a cost of $26 million and 1.134 million shares at a cost of $56 million, respectively, pursuant to our anti-dilutive share repurchase programs. As of February 1, 2026, approximately $172 million remained available under the September 2024 program and approximately $301 million remained available under the September 2021 program. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for additional information.

See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for additional information.

On October 2, 2024, pursuant to the registration statement, we completed the issuance of senior unsecured notes of $1.15 billion, consisting of:

•$800 million aggregate principal amount of notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum, due March 23, 2035, with interest payable semi-annually on each of March 23 and September 23 commencing March 23, 2025; and

•$350 million aggregate principal amount of notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum, due October 13, 2054, with interest payable semi-annually on each of April 13 and October 13 commencing April 13, 2025.

The notes contain customary covenants and events of default. If a change of control triggering event occurs, we will be required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. In October 2024, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes to repay $200 million of the $400 million outstanding under our 2022 Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the 2022 DDTL Credit Agreement) due November 15, 2025 and a portion of our outstanding commercial paper. In November 2024, we repaid the remaining $200 million outstanding under the 2022 DDTL Credit Agreement. In March 2025, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes along with cash on hand and the issuance of commercial paper to repay a $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes that matured in March 2025.

On December 15, 2025, pursuant to the registration statement, we completed the issuance of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $550 million aggregate principal amount of notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.55% per annum, due March 21, 2031, with interest payable semi-annually on each of March 21 and September 21 commencing March 21, 2026. The notes contain customary covenants and events of default. If a change of control triggering event occurs, we will be required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes to repay a portion of our outstanding commercial paper and ~~plan~~used ~~to use~~ the remaining proceeds to repay existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.

As of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, we had $~~428~~864 million of short-term borrowings due within one year, of which ~~none~~$340 million was comprised of commercial paper borrowings. As of ~~February~~May 13, 2026, we issued $45 million of standby letters of credit.

37On April 16, 2024, we entered into a Five-Year Credit Agreement for an unsecured, senior revolving credit facility (the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $1.85 billion with a maturity date of April 16, 2029 or such later date as extended pursuant to the terms set forth in the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement. On August 5, 2025, we entered into an Extension Agreement to extend the maturity date of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement by one year from April 16, 2029 to April 16, 2030. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement remained unused at May 3, 2026, except for $1 million of standby letters of credit that we issued under it. We may increase the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement commitments up to an additional $500 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Loans under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement will bear interest at the rates specified in the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, which vary based on the type of loan and certain other conditions. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility Agreement contains customary covenants, including a financial covenant with respect to a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.25:1.00, and customary events of default for credit facilities of this type. The facility supports our commercial paper program and other general corporate purposes. We expect to continue to access the commercial paper markets, bank credit lines and utilize cash flows from operations to support our short-term liquidity requirements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

For information regarding our exposure to certain market risk, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the second quarter ended February 1, 2026, we entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps accounted for as fair-value hedges. These instruments have a notional amount of $600 million and effectively convert a portion of our $800 million 4.75% Notes due March 23, 2035 from fixed-rate to variable-rate debt. The fair value of the instruments was a loss of $610 million as of ~~February 1~~May 3, 2026. There were no fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps outstanding as of August 3, 2025.
