In the fiscal fourth quarter, Post Holdings’ Foodservice segment reported a 9.2% increase in shipment volumes compared with the prior-year period, driving a 7.5% rise in segment net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment rose by 12.1%, supported by lower promotional allowances and modest freight cost reductions. The normalization of safety-stock inventories contributed approximately $8 million of the incremental EBITDA improvement, underscoring regained operational efficiencies after pandemic-era supply constraints.
