Revenue

Points to note

McCormick continues to operate in a challenging macro environment with consumers seeking value and tightening their budgets as they deal with economic uncertainty and rising costs. In addition, consumers are becoming more health-conscious. These trends have led to a rise in more at-home cooking and an increase in demand for flavor.

The company is working on launching new products or innovating existing ones to meet consumers’ needs for healthy options. It is focusing on areas where it sees maximum growth potential. These factors can be expected to drive momentum in the second quarter.

At the same time, MKC is seeing softness with some of its CPG customers and QSR customers. The foodservice industry is facing headwinds from slow traffic. These challenges are likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

Although MKC is expected to see an increase in SG&A expenses, it is also expected to benefit from cost savings from its CCI program. These cost savings are anticipated to help boost margins as well.
