Lancaster Colony Corporation reported its fiscal third quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2025, achieving record gross profit of $106.0 million, an increase of 1.4%. The company also posted a record operating income of $49.9 million, a significant 41.9% increase from the prior year.
Consolidated net sales decreased 2.9% to $457.8 million, impacted by the exit of perimeter-of-the-store bakery product lines and a later Easter holiday. Despite these headwinds, the Retail segment's licensing program, including Chick-fil-A sauce in the club channel and Texas Roadhouse dinner rolls, remained a source of growth.
The acquisition of the Atlanta-based sauce and dressing production facility was completed on February 18, 2025, representing a significant addition to the manufacturing network. This facility is expected to improve operational efficiency and capacity, contributing to future margin benefits, though initial startup costs were noted in the quarter.
