Tyson Foods 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Sep 3, 2026)

Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) updated its fiscal 2026 outlook on September 3, 2026, citing additional pressure in its Beef segment during the fourth quarter. The company now expects fiscal 2026 revenue growth of 1.5% to 2.0% and total company adjusted operating income of $1.85 billion to $2.05 billion. The revision is attributed mainly to significant margin compression amid volatile cattle prices and one of the most severe cattle shortages in U.S. history, along with the expected impact of lower cattle prices on the value of live cattle inventories. Segment guidance shows the divergence across the portfolio. Beef adjusted segment operating loss is now expected to be $(775) million to $(625) million, while Chicken is expected at $1.85 billion to $1.95 billion and Pork at $200 million to $250 million. Pork's outlook reflects increased hog availability, softer hog and wholesale prices, and processing spreads compressed as product values declined faster than livestock costs. Prepared Foods and International guidance was maintained. Management said the Beef network is being restructured around three strategically located facilities in the central United States, an action announced in August, and expects it to begin reducing operating cost pressures as the company enters fiscal 2027. The release also notes that Jeff Schomburger, incoming President and CEO, and CFO Curt Calaway will speak at the Barclays Global Consumer Conference on September 10, 2026. The company states it is unable to reconcile its non-GAAP outlook to GAAP results without unreasonable effort.

Tyson Foods 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Aug 24, 2026)

On August 24, 2026, Tyson Foods, Inc. completed its previously announced public offering of two series of senior notes, each with a $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The offering consisted of 5.100% Senior Notes due August 24, 2031 (the 2031 Notes) and 5.600% Senior Notes due January 24, 2037 (the 2037 Notes). The notes were sold under the company's Form S-3 registration statement (No. 333-296632) and a prospectus supplement dated August 10, 2026, and were issued under a 1995 base indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as supplemented by new supplemental indentures dated August 24, 2026. The notes are general senior unsecured obligations that rank equally in right of payment with the company's other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including other senior notes issued under the indenture. The 2031 Notes pay interest semiannually on February 24 and August 24, beginning February 24, 2027, while the 2037 Notes pay interest semiannually on January 24 and July 24, beginning January 24, 2027. The company may redeem each series in whole or in part under terms set out in the supplemental indentures.

Tyson Foods 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Aug 24, 2026)

Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) announced early results and pricing terms for its cash tender offers for three series of senior notes: the 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027, the 5.400% Senior Notes due 2029, and the 4.350% Senior Notes due 2029. Holders validly tendered $571.26 million of the 2027 notes, $389.974 million of the 5.400% 2029 notes, and $542.124 million of the 4.350% 2029 notes by the August 21, 2026 Early Tender Deadline. Because tenders were expected to exceed the $1.2 billion Maximum Tender Cap, the company will accept a portion of the 4.350% 2029 notes on a prorated basis, with a proration factor of 43.48%. The 2027 notes and 5.400% 2029 notes are accepted at a 100.00% proration factor. The company also eliminated the 5.400% 2029 Tender Sub-Cap and confirmed that the financing condition has been satisfied. Total Consideration per $1,000 principal amount is $994.87 for the 2027 notes, $1,019.77 for the 5.400% 2029 notes, and $994.24 for the 4.350% 2029 notes. Each figure includes a $30.00 Early Tender Premium and excludes accrued interest. Early settlement is expected on August 26, 2026, and the offers expire at 5:00 P.M. New York City time on September 8, 2026. Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline will not be accepted, because the Maximum Tender Cap has already been reached. The transaction is a liability management action in which the company retires outstanding senior notes with cash. The filing's Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are the early tender results and pricing terms press releases. The filing does not include the offer to purchase, which is dated August 10, 2026, and governs the full terms and conditions.

Tyson Foods 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Aug 13, 2026)

On August 13, 2026, Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) announced a restructuring of its beef network to strengthen long-term performance. The company will anchor its beef business around three central U.S. facilities in Dakota City, Nebraska; Holcomb, Kansas; and Amarillo, Texas. It will end operations at its beef facility in Joslin, Illinois, and its beef and pork case-ready facility in Eagle Mountain, Utah, moving that capacity to more strategically located facilities with ample room to grow. The company is also pursuing the sale of its beef facility in Pasco, Washington, and plans to ramp back up a second shift at its Amarillo, Texas facility as cattle become available. Management attributes the changes to one of the most historic cattle shortages in the country, citing recent USDA cattle inventory data that showed continued limited heifer retention and indicated supply constraints are likely to persist. Management states that these changes will allow the company to maintain a similar level of cattle harvesting across a more efficient and modern network. The filing is a Regulation FD disclosure furnishing the press release as Exhibit 99.1. The filing does not quantify the financial impact of the restructuring, such as costs, charges, or job reductions, and the press release states that the company is supporting affected team members, including help applying for open positions at other facilities.

For investors, the filing is primarily a debt financing and refinancing-related event: it adds $1.00 billion of new senior notes in aggregate and signals a pending tender offer for existing notes. The filing does not state the tender offer's terms, size, or the interest cost savings, so those details are not available from this report.

Tyson Foods 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Aug 10, 2026)

Tyson Foods, Inc. filed a Form 8-K on August 10, 2026, furnishing as Exhibit 99.1 a press release announcing cash tender offers for up to $1.2 billion aggregate purchase price of certain of its senior notes (the "Maximum Tender Cap"). The offers cover three series: the 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027, the 5.400% Senior Notes due 2029, and the 4.350% Senior Notes due 2029. Within the overall cap, the company will accept no more than $800 million for the 2027 notes and no more than $250 million for the 5.400% 2029 notes, with the remaining series subject to acceptance priority levels and possible pro rata allocation. The offers are conditioned on the Financing Condition: receipt of net proceeds from a contemporaneous offering of one or more new series of notes, sufficient together with cash on hand to fund the repurchases, on terms satisfactory to Tyson in its sole discretion. The offers are not conditioned on each other or on any minimum amount of notes being tendered. Key dates include an Early Tender Deadline of August 21, 2026, a Price Determination Date of August 24, 2026, an expected Early Settlement Date of August 26, 2026, and an Expiration Date of September 8, 2026, with final settlement expected on September 10, 2026. For investors, the filing signals a liability management transaction that would retire outstanding debt, with the net effect dependent on the new debt issuance. Holders who tender by the Early Tender Deadline receive the Total Consideration, which includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount for each series; those tendering later receive only the Purchase Price. The filing itself does not state the company's rationale beyond the stated purpose of acquiring the maximum principal amount within the cap.

Tyson Foods 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Jun 9, 2026)

Tyson Foods, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on June 9, 2026 to recast previously reported segment information in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 27, 2025, to conform with segment reporting changes made beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Beginning in that quarter, the company stopped allocating corporate expenses and amortization to its segments, because its Chief Operating Decision Maker no longer uses those items to assess segment performance or allocate resources. Segment profit is now defined as operating income (loss) less corporate expenses and amortization, and International is a reportable segment, bringing the total to five reportable segments: Beef, Pork, Chicken, Prepared Foods and International. The filing states that it does not amend or restate the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Form 10-K and does not reflect events after that filing. The recast has no effect on the consolidated income statement, comprehensive income statement, balance sheet, shareholders' equity statement or cash flow statement. Under the new presentation, fiscal 2025 total sales were $54.44 billion, with segment operating income of $2.14 billion (Beef a loss of $984 million, Pork a loss of $141 million, Chicken $1.86 billion, Prepared Foods $1.25 billion and International $155 million). Corporate expenses of $783 million and amortization of $257 million reconcile the segment total to fiscal 2025 operating income of $1.10 billion. The filing is primarily a presentation update for investors comparing segment results across periods. Investors should read it alongside the 2025 Form 10-K and the Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended December 27, 2025 and March 28, 2026, which the filing identifies as the sources for developments after the 10-K.

Tyson Foods 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Feb 2, 2026)

On February 2, 2026, Tyson Foods, Inc. announced a change to its segment reporting effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Corporate expenses and amortization will no longer be allocated to segments because the Chief Operating Decision Maker, the President and Chief Executive Officer, no longer uses them to assess performance or allocate resources. Segment operating income (loss) is now defined as operating income (loss) less corporate expenses and amortization. International is now a reportable segment, and corporate expenses and amortization are disclosed separately. All prior-period amounts for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, by quarter and by year, have been recast to the new presentation. Exhibit 99.1 presents the recast GAAP segment results, and Exhibit 99.2 presents the recast non-GAAP adjusted segment results, which are furnished rather than filed. The recast shows that for fiscal 2025 as reported, total segment operating income was $2,138 million, corporate expenses were $783 million, amortization was $257 million, and operating income was $1,098 million. Beef reported a segment loss of $984 million for the year, while Chicken contributed $1,860 million. On an adjusted basis for fiscal 2025, total segment operating income was $3,304 million and adjusted operating income was $2,287 million. The adjusted figures exclude items such as legal contingency accruals of $698 million recognized as reductions to Sales, a $343 million goodwill and intangible impairment in Beef, and a $41 million product recall in Prepared Foods. Investors should note that the change affects segment comparability and that the recast does not change consolidated operating income.

Tyson Foods 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Dec 15, 2025)

On December 12, 2025, Tyson Foods, Inc. entered into a new Loan Agreement with a group of lenders and CoBank, ACB as administrative agent. The agreement replaced the company's existing 2023 Term Loan Agreement, which had aggregate commitments of up to $750 million and $440 million of outstanding borrowings on the effective date. At entry, the company repaid all outstanding borrowings and interest under the 2023 facility and terminated its commitments thereunder. The new Loan Agreement provides a senior unsecured revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $750 million, maturing on the third anniversary of the effective date. The company may elect, with at least ten business days' notice before maturity, to convert outstanding revolving borrowings into Tranche A, B, C or D term loans maturing one, three, five or seven years after the revolving maturity date. Pricing is tied to Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR plus a spread, or an alternate base rate plus a spread, and the spread and unused commitment fee step up across four rating levels based on the company's S&P or Moody's corporate credit rating. The unused commitment fee ranges from 0.100% to 0.200%. The covenants are generally consistent with the 2023 facility and include limits on subsidiary indebtedness, liens, mergers, asset sales and changes in lines of business, as well as a minimum interest expense coverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.0 measured quarterly on a trailing four-quarter basis. The Loan Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and its events of default are substantially consistent with the prior agreement.

Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on November 21, 2025 to disclose network changes to its beef business. Under Item 8.01 (Other Events), the company stated that it will end operations at its Lexington, Nebraska beef facility and convert its Amarillo, Texas beef facility to a single, full-capacity shift. The filing states that production will be increased at other company beef facilities to meet customer demand, with the goal of optimizing volumes across the network. The accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1), furnished under Item 7.01 as Regulation FD disclosure and not deemed filed, frames the changes as designed to right-size the beef business and position it for long-term success. The company said it recognizes the impact on team members and communities and is supporting affected employees by helping them apply for open positions at other facilities and providing relocation benefits. For investors, the filing is a targeted operational restructuring within the beef segment rather than a company-wide action. The filing does not quantify financial effects such as costs, headcount reductions, or savings, so the financial impact cannot be assessed from this document alone. The press release also notes the company had approximately 133,000 team members as of September 27, 2025.

GAAP operating income was $158 million in the quarter, down from $525 million, and $1.10 billion for the year, down from $1.41 billion.
