Avian influenza hits 5.7M hens at Michael Foods contracted farms; FY2024 guidance affirmed
Post Holdings, Inc.
- Approximately 5.7M egg-laying hens (~14% of controlled supply) at contracted farms in Minnesota and Iowa tested positive for avian influenza.
- Post affirms FY2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $1,335-$1,375 million; management believes financial impact is within range tolerances.
- Guidance does not assume significant expansion; cumulative effect beyond additional 5% of supply would trigger further disclosure.
- No update on specific incidents unless additional 5% threshold is breached; APHIS/USDA track individual cases.
