Looking at key financial metrics, Conagra's revenues of $2.79 billion reflect a gross margin of 26.5%, indicating pressures from cost of goods, which saw a marginal increase to $2.06 billion. Although operating income fell to $401.6 million (-14.8% YoY), the effective management of expenses helped maintain profitability with a net income of $466.8 million. The EBITDA margin stands at 19.1%, exhibiting operational resilience despite top-line challenges.
Comparatively, the company’s current ratio is 0.937, signaling a tighter liquidity picture amidst larger operational spending requirements, while the debt-to-equity ratio of 1.009 indicates a leveraged position that warrants investor attention. Data suggests Conagra effectively accelerated cash flows from operations at $268.6 million, although negative working capital changes could raise concerns over cash cycle efficiency.
