2 Average Price Change and Adjusted Operating Margin (Non-GAAP) exclude $118 million and $156 million in the Chicken segment and Total Company for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $45 million in the Pork segment and Total Company for the twelve months ended September 28, 2024 of legal contingency accruals recognized as reductions to Sales.
OUTLOOK
For fiscal 2025, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) indicates domestic protein production (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) should increase compared to fiscal 2024 levels. The following is a summary of the updated outlook for each of our segments, as well as an outlook for revenue, capital expenditures, net interest expense, liquidity, free cash flow, tax rate and dividends for fiscal 2025. Certain of the outlook numbers include adjusted operating income (loss) (a non-GAAP metric) for each segment. The Company is not able to reconcile its full-year fiscal 2025 projected adjusted results to its fiscal 2025 projected GAAP results because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation for these forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Adjusted operating income (loss) should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss) or any other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Investors should rely primarily on the Company’s GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions.
Beef
USDA projects domestic production will decrease approximately 2% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. We anticipate adjusted operating loss between $(0.4) billion and $(0.2) billion in fiscal 2025.
Pork
USDA projects domestic production will increase approximately 2% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. We anticipate adjusted operating income of $0.1 billion to $0.2 billion in fiscal 2025.
Chicken
USDA projects chicken production will increase approximately 3% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024. We anticipate adjusted operating income of $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion for fiscal 2025.
Prepared Foods
We anticipate adjusted operating income of $0.9 billion to $1.1 billion in fiscal 2025.
International/Other
We anticipate improved results from our foreign operations in fiscal 2025 on an adjusted basis.
Total Company
We anticipate total company adjusted operating income of $1.8 billion to $2.2 billion for fiscal 2025.
Revenue
We expect sales to be down 1% to flat in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024.
Capital Expenditures
We expect capital expenditures between $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion for fiscal 2025. Capital expenditures include investments in profit improvement projects as well as projects for maintenance and repair.
Net Interest Expense
We expect net interest expense to approximate $380 million for fiscal 2025.
Liquidity
We expect total liquidity, which was $4.0 billion as of September 28, 2024, to remain above our minimum liquidity target of $1.0 billion.
Free Cash Flow
We expect free cash flow to be greater than dividends for fiscal 2025.
Tax Rate
We currently expect our adjusted effective tax rate to be 24% to 25% for fiscal 2025
Dividends
Effective November 8, 2024, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend previously declared on August 8, 2024, to $0.50 per share on our Class A common stock and $0.45 per share on our Class B common stock. The increased quarterly dividend is payable on December 13, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2024. The Board also declared on November 8, 2024 a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share on our Class A common stock and $0.45 per share on our Class B common stock, payable on March 14, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2025. We anticipate the remaining quarterly dividends in fiscal 2025 will be $0.50 and $0.45 per share of our Class A and Class B common stock, respectively. This results in an annual dividend rate in fiscal 2025 of $2.00 for Class A shares and $1.80 for Class B shares, or a 2% increase compared to the fiscal 2024 annual dividend rate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Income (Loss) before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Tyson and Adjusted EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA, net debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are presented as supplemental financial measures in the evaluation of our business that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures are tools intended to assist our management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis. These non-GAAP measures should not be a substitute for their comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures helps management and investors to assess our operating performance from period to period, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt, enhances understanding of our financial performance and highlights operational trends. These measures are widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our calculation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way, which may limit their usefulness of comparative measures.
Definitions
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes (benefits), depreciation and amortization. Net debt to EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA) represents the ratio of our debt, net of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, to EBITDA (and to Adjusted EBITDA). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted Income (Loss) before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Tyson and Adjusted EPS are defined as EBITDA, Operating Income (Loss), Income (Loss) before Income Taxes, Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Tyson and diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding the impacts of any items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis.
Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash Provided by Operating Activities minus payments for Property, Plant and Equipment.

4 The China plant relocation remuneration EPS impact was net of $3 million associated with Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.
5 Goodwill impairment was non-deductible for income tax purposes and the EPS impact was net of $24 million associated with Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.
6 GAAP EPS, Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Tyson, excluded the impact of certain antidilutive securities given the Company incurring a net loss for fiscal 2023. Adjusted Non-GAAP EPS is in a net income position, and thus, the impact of the otherwise antidilutive securities under GAAP EPS were added back in the calculation of Adjusted Non-GAAP EPS.
7 Excludes the amortization of debt issuance and debt discount expense of $12 million and $10 million for the twelve months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, as it is included in interest expense.
8 Relates to fires at production facilities in Chicken in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and Beef in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
9 Relates to a fire at our production facility in the Netherlands in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and subsequent decision to sell the facility.
10 Removal of accelerated depreciation of $127 million related to plant closures and disposals for the twelve months ended September 28, 2024 and $19 million related to restructuring and related charges and $114 million related to plant closures and disposals for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 as they are already included in depreciation expense. Removal of accelerated amortization of $2 million related to brand discontinuation for the twelve months ended September 28, 2024 as it is already included in amortization expense.
