Takeaways kle yo
- 6 consecutive quarters of sales volume growth posted

- 9% revenue growth in North America, to $1.206 billion
- 17% climb in adjusted segment EBITDA for the region
Poukisa li enpòtan
- Pou kiltivatè yo
- Six straight quarters of volume growth at the largest fry producer is a demand signal for contract acreage - but the growth is described as won on contracts and retention, so expect competitive tendering rather than an open call for tonnage.
- Pou procesè yo
- The lesson named here is the 2023-24 pricing strategy that cost customers and took six quarters to work back. If you are considering a price-led move, this is the worked example of what winning volume back costs.
- Pou komèsan yo
- Asia and Latin America are named as the growth targets, so expect the largest fry producer to be competing for outbound volume in those lanes rather than only defending North America.
- Pou envestisè yo
- EBITDA up 17 percent against revenue up 9 percent says the recovery is running through margin, not just volume. The turning-point framing is the new CFO’s and rests on one quarter - watch whether the volume streak survives the cost programme.

Lamb Weston, the largest producer of french fries, is showing signs of stabilising. It has now posted six consecutive quarters of sales volume growth, with North American volumes up 11 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 on new contracts and better customer retention. North American revenue rose 9 percent to 1.206 billion dollars and adjusted segment EBITDA climbed 17 percent, so margin is moving faster than the top line. What the company is recovering from is its own doing: the aggressive pricing strategy of 2023 and 2024 and the customer losses that followed. New chief financial officer Jim Gray calls the business at a turning point. The stated plan from here is innovation, including products built for air fryers, growth in Asia and Latin America, and a cost-savings programme. The turning-point read is the company’s own, made on one quarter of regional figures.
