1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Lamb Weston”) is a leading global producer, distributor, and marketer of value-added frozen potato products; headquartered in Eagle, Idaho. We have two reportable segments: North America and International. See Note 13, Segments, for additional information on our reportable segments.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements present the financial results of Lamb Weston and its consolidated subsidiaries for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended February 22, 2026 and February 23, 2025, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”).
These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements and consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The preparation of financial statements involves the use of estimates and accruals. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from those estimates. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for our full fiscal year, which ends the last Sunday in May.
These financial statements and related condensed notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 25, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”), where we include additional information on our critical accounting estimates, policies, and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates. We filed the Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 23, 2025.
Certain amounts from prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no financial impact on previously reported net income, cash flows, or stockholders’ equity.
Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly around rate reconciliations and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance as of May 26, 2025, and will update disclosures within our fiscal 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) , which requires companies to provide more detailed information of certain income statement expenses within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 28, 2028, and for our quarterly reports beginning fiscal year 2029, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal - Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This guidance provides criteria that must be met for entities to capitalize software development costs and factors to consider if there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of software. This guidance is effective for our annual reporting periods beginning with fiscal 2029 and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
There were no other accounting pronouncements recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods presented:
Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
(in millions, except per share amounts) February 22,
2026 February 23,
2025 February 22,
2026 February 23,
2025
Numerator:
Net income $ 54.0 $ 146.0 $ 180.4 $ 237.3
Denominator:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 139.0 141.9 139.3 142.8
Add: Dilutive effect of employee incentive plans (a) 0.3 0.5 0.3 0.4
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 139.3 142.4 139.6 143.2
Earnings per share:
Basic $ 0.39 $ 1.03 $ 1.30 $ 1.66
Diluted $ 0.39 $ 1.03 $ 1.29 $ 1.66
___________________________________________
(a) Potential dilutive shares of common stock under employee incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and performance awards. As of February 22, 2026 and February 23, 2025, we excluded 5.3 million and 0.6 million, respectively, of shares of stock-based awards from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would be antidilutive.
3. INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the periods presented were as follows:
Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
(in millions) February 22,
2026 February 23,
2025 February 22,

Effective tax rate (a) 35.9 % 28.3 % 38.8 % 33.9 %
___________________________________________
(a) The effective income tax rate is calculated as the ratio of income tax expense to pre-tax income, inclusive of equity method investment earnings. The effective tax rate varies from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% principally due to the impact of U.S. state taxes, foreign taxes and currency, permanent differences, and discrete items.
Income Taxes Paid
Income taxes paid, net of refunds, were $ 100.9 million and $ 123.6 million during the thirty-nine weeks ended February 22, 2026 and February 23, 2025, respectively.

4. COST SAVINGS PROGRAM AND RESTRUCTURING
We announced a cost savings program (the “Cost Savings Program”) in July 2025 and a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) in October 2024. During fiscal 2026, we also undertook additional restructuring actions, including the permanent closure of certain production facilities to improve asset utilization in our International segment, and completed sales of certain non-core assets as part of our Focus to Win strategy. The restructuring activities undertaken in connection with these initiatives, including the Cost Savings Program and Restructuring Plan, are referred to collectively as the “Plans”.
Amounts classified as “Cost Savings Program and Restructuring expenses” on our Consolidated Statement of Earnings for fiscal 2026 primarily relate to costs associated with the Cost Savings Program, restructuring activities related to facility closures to improve asset utilization, and net gains related to certain non-core asset sales. Expenses recorded in fiscal 2025 relate solely to the Restructuring Plan.
We expect to recognize approximately $ 20 million of charges during the remainder of fiscal 2026 and $ 25 million to $ 50 million in fiscal 2027 in connection with the Plans.
For the thirteen weeks ended February 22, 2026, we recorded $ 55.5 million of pre-tax charges, of which $ 9.0 million were cash and $ 46.5 million were non-cash. For the thirty-nine weeks ended February 22, 2026, we recorded $ 101.5 million of pre-tax charges, of which $ 55.1 million were cash and $ 46.4 million were non-cash. Costs associated with the Plans were as follows:

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair values of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration.
The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall:

___________________________________________
(a) Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent commodity swaps, option contracts, and currency contracts. The fair value of these derivatives were determined using valuation models that use market observable inputs including both forward and spot prices. Derivative assets are presented within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and derivative liabilities are presented within “Accrued liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(b) The fair values of our Level 2 deferred compensation liabilities were valued using third-party valuations, which are based on the net asset values of mutual funds in our retirement plans. While the underlying assets are actively traded on an exchange, the funds are not. Deferred compensation liabilities are primarily presented within “Other noncurrent liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents
As of February 22, 2026, we had $ 2,945.6 million of fixed-rate and $ 1,056.7 million of variable-rate debt outstanding. Based on current market rates, the fair value of our fixed-rate debt was estimated to be $ 2,889 million as of February 22, 2026. Any differences between the book value and fair value are due to the difference between the period-end market interest rate and the stated rate of our fixed-rate debt. The fair value of our variable-rate term debt approximates the carrying amount and approximates current market prices.
12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program

13. SEGMENTS
We manage our operations in two business segments, North America and International. As a result of how we manage the business, we have two operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment: North America and International. North America includes activity that occurs in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. International includes all activity that does not occur within the North America segment. Both segments primarily manufacture frozen potato products for sale to our customers. These reportable segments are each managed by a general manager and supported by a cross-functional team assigned to support the segment.
15
Table of Contents
Our president and chief executive officer is our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). The CODM assesses the performance of our reportable segments and decides how to allocate resources based on segment adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). The adjustments to EBITDA include unrealized mark-to-market derivative gains and losses (which are a component of both cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses), foreign currency exchange gains and losses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), blue chip swap transaction gains (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), stock-based compensation expense (which is a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), and other items impacting comparability (which are a component of both cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) that are described below (“Segment Adjusted EBITDA”).
Net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA inform operating decisions, performance assessment, and resource allocation decisions at the segment level. Our CODM uses net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA in the annual operating plan and forecasting process and considers actual versus plan variances in assessing the performance of each segment. Total asset information by segment is not regularly provided to our CODM or utilized for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources by segment and, as a result, such information has not been presented below.
The following table illustrates reportable segment net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended February 22, 2026 and February 23, 2025, respectively.

14. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We have financial commitments and other obligations that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These include long-term debt, lease obligations, and purchase commitments for goods and services. There have been no material changes to the commitments, contingencies, and guarantees disclosed in Note 14, Commitments, Contingencies, Guarantees, and Legal Proceedings, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Form 10-K.
Legal Proceedings
In June 2024, two putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho against the Company and certain of our current and former executive officers alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The lawsuits were consolidated in November 2024. The amended consolidated complaint alleges the defendants made misrepresentations and omissions regarding the design and implementation of our enterprise resource planning system and the Company’s pricing practices. The complaint asserts claims on behalf of a proposed class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between July 25, 2023 and December 19, 2024. On April 25, 2025, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. Briefing is complete and the motion remains pending. In June 2025, a purported Company stockholder filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint (nominally on behalf of the Company) against certain of our current and former directors and officers, alleging violations of the federal securities laws and breach of fiduciary duty stemming from the same or similar purported misrepresentations and omissions regarding the design and implementation of our enterprise resource planning system as the putative class actions. The derivative lawsuit has been stayed pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the securities class action. We believe the lawsuits lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter or estimate the range of potential loss, if any, that may result.
In November 2024, a class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, certain of our subsidiaries and a number of other producers of frozen potato products alleging violations of antitrust laws. Additional class action complaints were later filed in the same court, based on similar allegations, bringing antitrust claims on behalf of putative classes of direct purchasers, commercial and institutional indirect purchasers, and end-consumer indirect purchasers. Some complaints named additional defendants. The complaints were ordered to be consolidated and amended. On October 6, 2025, plaintiffs filed three consolidated complaints on behalf of their putative classes, asserting amended claims against the Company, certain of our subsidiaries, other producers of frozen potato products, and a data provider. The consolidated complaints allege, among other things, that beginning at least as early as January 1, 2021, the defendants conspired to raise the price of frozen potato products above competitive levels in violation of U.S. antitrust laws by coordinating prices of frozen potato products and imposing lockstep price increases, allegedly facilitated by the exchange of non-public information about prices and production. The complaints on behalf of the putative classes of indirect purchasers also assert claims under various state laws, including state antitrust laws, unfair competition laws, and consumer protection statutes. The relief sought in the complaints includes treble damages, injunctive relief, equitable monetary relief, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. On December 5, 2025, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. Briefing is complete and the motion remains pending. Class actions based on similar allegations have also been filed in Canada, in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Superior Court of Quebec. On December 15, 2025, the Superior Court of Quebec terminated the Quebec action due to lack of service. We believe these complaints lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter or estimate the range of potential loss, if any, that may result.

Table of Contents
We are also a party to various other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. These claims, legal proceedings and litigation principally arise from alleged casualty, product liability, employment, and other disputes. In determining loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recognized when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. While any claim, proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, we believe the outcome of any of these that are pending or threatened will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
