Key Details

• Quarter: second quarter ended June 28, 2026.
• Disclosure: press release dated August 11, 2026, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K.
• Filing note: the press release and related information are furnished (not “filed”) and therefore are not subject to Section 18 liability under the Exchange Act; they may only be incorporated by reference into later filings if that filing specifically references this 8-K.

Why It Matters

• This 8-K notifies investors that Smithfield has publicly released its Q2 2026 earnings/operations results; the press release will contain the specific financial metrics (revenue, earnings, margins) that investors often use to evaluate performance.
• Because the release is furnished rather than filed, its legal exposure under Section 18 is limited—investors should read the Exhibit 99.1 press release (available on EDGAR) for the full numbers and official commentary from management.
