Post Consumer Growth

Post’s consumer‑brands division grew 5.8% in net sales to $1.04 billion, driven by the July acquisition of 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, though volumes excluding that contribution declined 10%. The refrigerated retail and Weetabix units also saw sales and profit increases. Nutrish, a pet‑food brand, is scheduled for a full relaunch in Q3, with management targeting flat to slight growth by Q4. Share repurchases have already cut the share count by 15% year‑to‑date, reflecting a focus on capital return and balance‑sheet flexibility.
