Hormel Foods’ international segment delivered mid‐single-digit revenue gains in fiscal 2025, driven primarily by branded shelf-stable pork and shelf-stable microwaveable meals. Growth was strongest in Western Europe, where branded product sales climbed approximately 7%, supported by new distribution agreements in the U.K. and Germany. In Central America, the company reported a 4% uplift in retail revenues despite ongoing currency headwinds, as its pepperoni and dry sausage lines gained shelf space in key grocery chains. Although Asia Pacific markets remain challenging—volumes in China were flat year-over-year due to competitive pricing pressures—Hormel’s revamped marketing campaigns in Japan and South Korea led to a combined 5% increase in chilled meat and nut butter product sales. Management reiterated its target to expand international operating margin by 50 basis points by the end of 2026 through optimized supply-chain integration and localized product innovation.
