(in millions)

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements of Post Holdings, Inc. (herein referred to as “Post,” “the Company,” “us,” “our” or “we,” and unless otherwise stated or context otherwise indicates, all such references herein mean Post Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries), which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on November 15, 2024.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial condition, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported financial information to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded there are no new pronouncements (other than the ones described below) that had or will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows, shareholders’ equity or related disclosures based on current information.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 (i.e., the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2028) and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 (i.e., the Company’s interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2028), with early adoption permitted. This ASU can be adopted either (i) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (ii) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2026), with early adoption permitted. This ASU should be adopted prospectively; however, retrospective adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 (i.e., the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025) and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., the Company’s interim financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2025), with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

The Company has a 60.5% common equity interest in 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, Inc. (“8th Avenue”) that is accounted for using the equity method. In determining the accounting treatment of the common equity interest, management concluded that 8th Avenue was not a variable interest entity as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” and as such, 8th Avenue was evaluated under the voting interest model. Based on the terms of 8th Avenue’s governing documents, management determined that the Company does not have a controlling voting interest in 8th Avenue due to substantive participating rights held by third parties associated with the governance of 8th Avenue. However, Post does retain significant influence, and therefore, the use of the equity method of accounting is required.

During fiscal 2022, 8th Avenue’s equity method loss attributable to Post exceeded the Company’s remaining investment in 8th Avenue. As such, in accordance with ASC Topic 323, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” the Company discontinued applying the equity method to the investment after reducing the balance of the investment to zero.

The Company’s investment in 8th Avenue was zero at both March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, and the Company did not recognize equity method earnings/loss attributable to 8th Avenue for the three or six months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net sales to 8th Avenue of $2.3 and $4.7, respectively, and purchases from and royalties paid to 8th Avenue of $21.9 and $42.2, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had net sales to 8th Avenue of $2.1 and $3.8, respectively, and purchases from and royalties paid to 8th Avenue of $19.7 and $39.6, respectively. Sales and purchases between the Company and 8th Avenue were all made at arm’s-length.

The Company had current payables with 8th Avenue of $20.3 and $14.2 at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, which were included in “Accounts payable” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily related to related party purchases and royalties. Current receivables with 8th Avenue at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024 were immaterial. In addition, the Company had a long-term receivable and a long-term liability with 8th Avenue of $12.9 and zero, respectively, at March 31, 2025 and $12.9 and $0.7, respectively, at September 30, 2024, which were included in “Other assets” and “Other liabilities,” respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and related to tax indemnifications.

The Company holds a controlling equity interest in Weetabix East Africa Limited (“Weetabix East Africa”). Weetabix East Africa is a Kenyan-based company that produces ready-to-eat (“RTE”) cereal and muesli. The Company owns 50.2% of Weetabix East Africa and holds a controlling voting and financial interest through its appointment of management and representation on Weetabix East Africa’s board of directors. Accordingly, Weetabix East Africa is fully consolidated into the Company’s financial statements and its assets and results of operations are reported in the Weetabix segment. The remaining interest in the consolidated net earnings and net assets of Weetabix East Africa is allocated to noncontrolling interest.

The Company holds an equity interest in Alpen Food Company South Africa (Pty) Limited (“Alpen”). Alpen is a South African-based company that produces RTE cereal and muesli. The Company owns 50.0% of Alpen’s common stock with no other indicators of control, and accordingly, the Company accounts for its investment in Alpen using the equity method. The investment in Alpen was $4.0 at both March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and was included in “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Transactions between the Company and BellRing Brands, Inc. (“BellRing”) are considered related party transactions as certain of the Company’s officers and/or directors serve as officers and/or directors of BellRing.

Comet Processing, Inc. (“Comet”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has a co-packing agreement with Premier Nutrition Company, LLC (“Premier Nutrition”), a subsidiary of BellRing (the “Co-Packing Agreement”). Under the Co-Packing Agreement, Premier Nutrition procures certain packaging materials for Comet that Comet utilizes in the production of ready-to-drink (“RTD”) shakes for Premier Nutrition. In December 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Co-Packing Agreement, Comet began manufacturing RTD shakes for Premier Nutrition. Net sales of RTD shakes to Premier Nutrition were $19.9 and $24.0 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and the Company had a current receivable with Premier Nutrition of $12.3 related to these sales at March 31, 2025, which was included in “Receivables, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net sales of RTD shakes to Premier Nutrition were immaterial during the three and six months ended March 31, 2024. Other related party transactions and balances between the Company and BellRing were immaterial as of and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for acquired businesses. Under the acquisition method, the Company’s financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the date of acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition based on Level 3 inputs. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired over the purchase price is recorded as a gain on bargain purchase. Goodwill represents the value the Company expects to achieve through the implementation of operational synergies, the expansion of the business into new or growing segments of the industry and the addition of new employees.

On March 3, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Potato Products of Idaho, L.L.C. (“PPI”) for $120.0, subject to working capital and other adjustments, resulting in a payment at closing of $129.5. PPI is a manufacturer and packager of refrigerated and frozen potato products and is reported in the Refrigerated Retail and Foodservice segments.

The acquisition was completed using cash on hand.

Based upon the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recorded $5.7 of customer relationships, which are being amortized over a weighted-average useful life of 13 years. Net sales and operating loss included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations attributable to PPI were $2.3 and $0.7, respectively, for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

Preliminary values of PPI are measured as of the date of the acquisition, are not yet finalized pending the final purchase price allocation and are subject to change. The goodwill generated by the Company’s acquisition of PPI is expected to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, and was allocated between the Refrigerated Retail and Foodservice segments (see Note 9).

The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation related to the PPI acquisition based upon the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2025.

On December 1, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Perfection Pet Foods, LLC (“Perfection”) for $235.0, subject to working capital adjustments and other adjustments, resulting in a payment at closing of $238.8. Perfection is a manufacturer and packager of private label and co-manufactured pet food and baked treat products and is reported in the Post Consumer Brands segment. The acquisition was completed using cash on hand, including borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 13). During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company reached a final settlement of net working capital, resulting in an amount received by the Company of $4.6.

Also on December 1, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Deeside Cereals I Ltd (“Deeside”) for £11.3 (approximately $14.3). The acquisition was completed using cash on hand. Deeside is a producer of private label cereals in the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) and is reported in the Weetabix segment. Based upon the final purchase price allocation as of September 30, 2024, the Company identified and recorded $24.9 of net assets, which exceeded the purchase price paid for Deeside. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on bargain purchase of $10.6 during the year ended September 30, 2024, $6.2 of which was recorded to “Other operating (income) expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Acquisition-related costs for fiscal 2025 and 2024 acquisitions were immaterial for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of the results of operations of the Company combined with the results of the fiscal 2025 PPI acquisition and the fiscal 2024 Perfection acquisition for the periods presented as if the fiscal 2025 PPI acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2023 and the fiscal 2024 Perfection acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2022, along with certain pro forma adjustments. The results of operations for the fiscal 2024 Deeside acquisition were immaterial for presentation within the following unaudited pro forma information. These pro forma adjustments give effect to the amortization of certain definite-lived intangible assets, adjusted depreciation expense based upon the fair value of assets acquired, acquisition-related costs, inventory revaluation adjustments, interest expense and related income taxes. The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the PPI and Perfection acquisitions occurred on the assumed dates, nor is it necessarily an indication of future operating results.

In March 2025, the Company finalized its plan to close its Post Consumer Brands cereal manufacturing facilities in Sparks, Nevada (the “Sparks Facility”) and Cobourg, Ontario (the “Cobourg Facility”). The transfer of production capabilities to other Company locations and closure of the Sparks Facility and Cobourg Facility are expected to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

In November 2023, the Company finalized its plan to close its Post Consumer Brands cereal manufacturing facility in Lancaster, Ohio (the “Lancaster Facility”). The transfer of production capabilities to other Company locations and closure of the Lancaster Facility were completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Restructuring charges and the associated liabilities, which primarily relate to employee-related expenses associated with the closure of these facilities, are shown in the following table.

Any pension costs related to the Cobourg Facility closure are not included in the above restructuring charges and associated liabilities as the costs are pending valuation by a third-party specialist and could not be reasonably estimated as of the date of this report. Restructuring charges were $7.3 and $8.1 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, and $0.2 and $7.7 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, and were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

NOTE 6 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units using the “treasury stock” method and convertible senior notes using the “if converted” method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

The following table presents the securities that have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment are noted in the following table.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company determined that one of its brands, which was classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, was no longer expected to contribute to cash flows indefinitely. As such, the intangible asset’s carrying value of $243.9 was reclassified as a definite-lived intangible asset, and the Company began amortizing the carrying value on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 20 years. Prior to the reclassification, the Company concluded there was no impairment of the indefinite-lived intangible asset.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to commodity price risks relating to the purchases of raw materials and supplies, interest rate risks and foreign currency exchange rate risks. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including (but not limited to) futures contracts, option contracts, forward contracts and swaps, to manage certain of these exposures by hedging when it is practical to do so. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

At March 31, 2025, the Company’s derivative instruments, none of which were designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” consisted of:

•commodity and energy futures, swaps and option contracts which relate to inputs that generally will be utilized within the next two years;

•foreign currency forward contracts (“FX contracts”) maturing in fiscal 2025 that have the effect of hedging currency fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Pound Sterling and between the Euro and the Pound Sterling; and

•pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps maturing in June 2033 that require monthly settlements and have the effect of hedging interest payments on debt expected to be issued but not yet priced.

The following table presents the notional amounts of derivative instruments held.
