Canada Packers delivers strong 2025 results

Mar 16, 2026

Canada Packers Inc. has reported its financial results for the fiscal year ended Dec. 27, 2025. Fourth quarter highlights include $429.4 million in sales, a 1.3% increase over 2024, and an adjusted EBITDA of $46.3 million, a 19.5% increase over Q4 2024's pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA of $39 million. Total sales for 2025 were $1,836.4 million, a 10.7% increase over 2024.

"During the fourth quarter we delivered best-in-class profitability by selling our premium, value-added, sustainably produced pork products across our strategic global customer base," said Dennis Organ, president and chief executive officer, Canada Packers. "This, combined with volume growth from our latent capacity and strong on-farm execution, drove gains in Adjusted EBITDA over the prior year. Through continued disciplined execution of our strategy, we will capitalize on our near-term growth opportunity and strengthen our balance sheet — as demonstrated in the fourth quarter by bringing our leverage ratio to the low end of our target range and returning capital to shareholders."
