**Item 2.02.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Results of Operations and Financial Condition.**

On February 5, 2026, Post Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

**Item 5.02.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d) Newly Elected Directors.***

On February 3, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company appointed Michelle M. Atkinson and Jeff A. Zadoks to serve as directors, effective March 15, 2026, each for a term that will expire at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2027. With the addition of Ms. Atkinson and Mr. Zadoks, the Board will consist of nine members.

Ms. Atkinson and Mr. Zadoks were appointed to the Board after a thorough review of each of their respective qualifications and recommendation by the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of the Board. Each of Ms. Atkinson and Mr. Zadoks will receive compensation as non-employee directors in accordance with the Company's non-employee director compensation program described in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 15, 2025. The Company expects to enter into indemnification agreements with each of Ms. Atkinson and Mr. Zadoks, which (i) for Ms. Atkinson, will be an updated version of the Company's standard form of indemnification agreement to be used for directors and is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and (ii) for Mr. Zadoks, will be a form of indemnification agreement to be used for former executives of the Company who become directors and is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Atkinson and any other person pursuant to which she was appointed as a director, and there are no transactions in which Ms. Atkinson has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Board has determined that Ms. Atkinson is independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Zadoks and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as a director. Mr. Zadoks served as an employee of the Company from October 2011 until his retirement in January 2026, and his compensation and related arrangements and benefits received in connection with his employment with the Company have been disclosed and described in the Company's definitive proxy statements filed with the SEC or are not otherwise required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Because of Mr. Zadoks's prior employment relationship with the Company, the Board did not deem him independent at this time.

**Item 8.01.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Events.**

On February 3, 2026, the Board approved, effective February 7, 2026 (the "Effective Date"), a $500.0 million share repurchase authorization (the "New Authorization") and cancelled, effective February 6, 2026, its existing $500.0 million share repurchase authorization, which was approved by the Board on November 25, 2025 and became effective on November 27, 2025 (the "Existing Authorization"). The Company had repurchased approximately $377.9 million of shares of the Company's common stock under the Existing Authorization as of February 4, 2026. The New Authorization extends for a two-year period beginning on the Effective Date, and the Company may begin repurchasing shares under the New Authorization on February 7, 2026. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic purchase transactions, or otherwise. Any shares repurchased would be held as treasury stock. The New Authorization does not, however, obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares, and repurchases may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company's discretion.

## Exhibit 10.1

<u>Exhibit 10.1</u>

**<u>INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT</u>**

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the "<u>Agreement</u>") effective _________________, 20__ between POST HOLDINGS, INC., a Missouri corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), and ____________________ ("<u>Participant</u>").

WHEREAS, Participant is a director of the Company, and in such capacity is performing a valuable service for the Company;

WHEREAS, the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated to date (the "<u>Articles</u>") and Section 351.355 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, as amended to date (the "<u>Indemnification Statute</u>"), permit the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and certain agents of the Company, under certain circumstances; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Participant to serve as a director of the Company, the Company has determined and agreed to enter into this contract with Participant;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Participant's service as a director of the Company after the date hereof, the Company and Participant agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.<u>Indemnity of Participant</u>. Subject to the exclusions set forth in Section 3 hereof (other than those in Section 3(e) that are applicable to Section 2 only), the Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Participant to the full extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Articles, the Indemnification Statute or any amendment thereof or any other statutory provisions authorizing or permitting such indemnification which is adopted after the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.<u>Additional Indemnity</u>. Subject to the exclusions set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Company further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Participant against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by Participant in connection with any Claim. Such indemnification shall be made by the Company without regard to whether there has been a determination that Participant has met any standard of conduct prescribed by law or otherwise in connection with the specific matter for which indemnification is sought by (i) a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors, (ii) independent legal counsel by written opinion or (iii) the Company's shareholders by a majority vote. For purposes of this Agreement, a "<u>Claim</u>" is a threatened, pending or completed action, claim, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action by, or in the right of, the Company) to which Participant is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Participant is, was or at any time (whether before or after the date of this Agreement) becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving or at any time (whether before or after the date of this Agreement) serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, member, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, trade or industry association, or other enterprise (whether incorporated or unincorporated, for-profit or not-for-profit).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<u>Limitations on Additional Indemnity</u>. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, no indemnity shall be paid by the Company pursuant to this Agreement upon occurrence of any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)With respect to remuneration paid to Participant, if it shall be finally judicially adjudged that such remuneration was paid in violation of law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)On account of any suit for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Participant of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any state or local statutory law;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)On account of Participant's conduct which is finally judicially adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest, or willful misconduct;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter (all appeals having been denied or none having been taken) shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If any amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 1 or Section 2 of this Agreement would be duplicative of amounts paid or to be paid to Participant pursuant to any insurance policies or other policies purchased and maintained by the Company for such indemnified losses or if amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement would be duplicative of amounts paid to Participant pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement for such indemnified losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Continuation of Indemnity</u>. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Participant is a director of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Participant shall be subject to any possible Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Notification and Defense of Claim</u>. Promptly after receipt by Participant of notice of the commencement of any Claim, Participant will notify the Company of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Participant under this Agreement unless and to the extent that the Company's rights are prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any Claim as to which Participant notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Except as otherwise provided below, the Company, jointly with any other party, will be entitled to assume the defense thereof at the Company's expense, with counsel satisfactory to Participant. After notice from the Company to Participant of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Participant under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Participant in connection with the defense thereof unless Participant shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Participant in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, in which case, the Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim. For purposes of this Agreement, there shall be deemed to be a conflict of interest between the Company and Participant with respect to any Claim brought by, or in the right of, the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Participant under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the Company's written consent. The Company shall not settle any Claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Participant without Participant's written consent. Neither the Company nor Participant will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Advancement and Repayment of Expenses</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)To the extent that the Company assumes the defense of any Claim, Participant agrees that he or she will reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses paid by the Company in defending such Claim in the event, and only to the extent that, it shall be ultimately judicially determined that Participant is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such expenses under the provisions of either the Indemnification Statute, the Articles, this Agreement or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To the extent that the Company does not assume the defense of any Claim, the Company shall advance to Participant all reasonable expenses, including all reasonable attorneys' fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with defending, preparing to defend or investigating any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Participant requesting such advance or advances, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Claim. Such statement or

------

statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by Participant and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Participant to repay all of such expenses advanced if it shall be ultimately judicially determined that Participant is not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this paragraph shall be unsecured and interest free.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.<u>Enforcement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the Company hereby in order to induce Participant to serve as a director of the Company and acknowledges that Participant is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In the event Participant is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect monies due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse Participant for all of Participant's attorneys' fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.<u>Separability</u>. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.<u>Governing Law; Entire Agreement; Binding Effect; Amendment and Termination</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)This Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Participant, his or her heirs, personal representatives and assigns, and to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)No amendment, modification, termination, or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by both parties hereto.

**Post Holdings Reports Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026; Raises Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook**

**St. Louis - February 5, 2026** - Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST), a consumer packaged goods holding company, today reported results for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025.

**Highlights:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• First quarter net sales of $2.2 billion** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Operating profit of $238.4 million; net earnings of $96.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)\* of $418.2 million**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Raised fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)\* outlook to $1,550-$1,580 million**

*\*For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted diluted earnings per common share and segment Adjusted EBITDA, see the related explanations presented under "Use of Non-GAAP Measures" later in this release. Post provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP guidance measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including the adjustments described under "Outlook" below.*

**Basis of Presentation**

On July 1, 2025, Post completed its acquisition of 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, Inc. ("8th Avenue"), the results of which are included in the Post Consumer Brands segment. On December 1, 2025, Post completed its sale of the pasta business of 8th Avenue; its operating results prior to the sale were reported in the Post Consumer Brands segment.

On March 3, 2025, Post completed its acquisition of Potato Products of Idaho, L.L.C. ("PPI"), the results of which are included in the Refrigerated Retail and Foodservice segments.

**First Quarter Consolidated Operating Results**

Net sales were $2,174.6 million, an increase of 10.1%, or $199.9 million, compared to $1,974.7 million in the prior year period and included $224.6 million in net sales from acquisitions in the current year period. Excluding the benefit from acquisitions in the current year period, net sales growth in Foodservice (primarily driven by volume growth in eggs and protein-based shakes) and Weetabix (primarily driven by favorable foreign currency exchange rates and volume growth) was offset by declines in Post Consumer Brands (driven by pet food distribution losses, cereal category declines and lower relative and absolute promotional spend in cereal). Refrigerated Retail sales were flat as increased pricing was offset by declines in volumes. Gross profit was $638.5 million, or 29.4% of net sales, an increase of 7.3%, or $43.2 million, compared to $595.3 million, or 30.1% of net sales, in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $357.3 million, or 16.4% of net sales, an increase of 7.8%, or $25.7 million, compared to $331.6 million, or 16.8% of net sales, in the prior year period. SG&A expenses in the first quarter of fiscal years 2026 and 2025 included $4.3 million and $15.6 million, respectively, of integration costs, which were primarily related to acquisitions and were treated as adjustments for non-GAAP measures. Operating profit was $238.4 million, an increase of 11.3%, or $24.3 million, compared to $214.1 million in the prior year period.

Net earnings were $96.8 million, a decrease of 14.6%, or $16.5 million, compared to $113.3 million in the prior year period. Net earnings included the following:

Diluted earnings per common share were $1.71, compared to $1.78 in the prior year period. Adjusted net earnings (non-GAAP)**\*** were $123.7 million, compared to $111.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share (non-GAAP)\* were $2.13, compared to $1.73 in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $418.2 million, an increase of 13.1%, or $48.3 million, compared to $369.9 million in the prior year period.

**Post Consumer Brands**

*Primarily North American ready-to-eat ("RTE") cereal and granola, pet food and nut butters.* 

For the first quarter, net sales were $1,103.8 million, an increase of 14.5%, or $139.9 million, compared to the prior year period. Net sales included $217.2 million in the first quarter attributable to 8th Avenue. Excluding the benefit of 8th Avenue in the current year period, volumes decreased 6.1%. Pet food volumes decreased 6.2%, primarily driven by distribution losses and reductions in co-manufactured and private label products. Cereal and granola volumes decreased 5.1%, primarily driven by category declines and lower relative and absolute promotional spend. Segment profit was $132.2 million, an increase of 0.9%, or $1.2 million, compared to the prior year period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)**\*** was $203.3 million, a decrease of 0.7%, or $1.5 million, compared to the prior year period.

**Foodservice**

*Primarily egg and potato products.* 

For the first quarter, net sales were $669.1 million, an increase of 8.5%, or $52.5 million, compared to the prior year period. Net sales included $6.6 million in the first quarter attributable to PPI. Excluding the benefit of PPI in the current year period, volumes increased 7.7%, driven by improved customer service levels versus the prior year period and improved production in protein-based shakes. Segment profit was $117.5 million, an increase of 36.5%, or $31.4 million, compared to the prior year period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $152.4 million, an increase of 30.5%, or $35.6 million, compared to the prior year period.

**Refrigerated Retail**

*Primarily side dish, egg, cheese and sausage products.* 

For the first quarter, net sales were $266.6 million, flat compared to the prior year period. Volumes decreased 0.2%, primarily due to declines in egg and sausage products, partially offset by an increase in side dish products driven by the introduction of private label offerings. Volume information by product is disclosed in a table presented later in this release. Segment profit was $30.4 million, an increase of 25.6%, or $6.2 million, compared to the prior year period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $50.1 million, an increase of 20.4%, or $8.5 million, compared to the prior year period.

**Weetabix**

*Primarily United Kingdom RTE cereal, muesli and protein-based shakes.* 

For the first quarter, net sales were $137.9 million, an increase of 8.1%, or $10.3 million, compared to the prior year period. Net sales reflected a foreign currency exchange rate tailwind of approximately 400 basis points. Volumes increased 2.4%, primarily driven by growth in protein-based shakes and branded products. Segment profit was $21.7 million, an increase of 36.5%, or $5.8 million, compared to the prior year period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $33.1 million, an increase of 18.2%, or $5.1 million, compared to the prior year period.

**Interest, Loss on Extinguishment of Debt, Income on Swaps and Income Tax**

Interest expense, net was $103.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $84.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The increase in interest expense, net in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was driven by lower interest income, higher average outstanding principal amounts of debt and a higher weighted-average interest rate compared to the prior year period.

Loss on extinguishment of debt, net of $17.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 in connection with Post's redemption of its 5.50% senior notes due December 2029. Loss on extinguishment of debt, net of $5.8 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 in connection with Post's redemption of its 5.625% senior notes due January 2028.

------

Income on swaps, net relates to mark-to-market adjustments and settlements on interest rate swaps. Income on swaps, net was $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $15.4 million in the prior year period.

Income tax expense was $27.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, an effective income tax rate of 22.0%, compared to $32.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, an effective income tax rate of 22.1%.

**Share Repurchases and New Share Repurchase Authorization**

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, Post repurchased 3.7 million shares of its common stock for $378.9 million at an average price of $101.57 per share. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 through February 4, 2026, Post repurchased 1.8 million shares for $175.4 million at an average price of $99.19 per share. On February 3, 2026, Post's Board of Directors approved a new $500 million share repurchase authorization. Shares repurchased under the new authorization may begin on February 7, 2026. As of February 4, 2026, Post had $122.1 million remaining under its existing $500 million share repurchase authorization, which became effective on November 27, 2025 and will be cancelled effective February 6, 2026.

Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic purchase transactions, or otherwise. Any shares repurchased would be held as treasury stock. The authorization does not, however, obligate Post to acquire any particular number of shares, and repurchases may be suspended or terminated at any time at Post's discretion.

**Outlook**

Post management raised its guidance range for fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to $1,550-$1,580 million from $1,500-$1,540 million.

Post management expects fiscal year 2026 capital expenditures to range between $350-$390 million, which includes continued Foodservice investment in cage-free egg facility expansion and the completion of the Norwalk, Iowa precooked egg facility expansion, for aggregate expenditures of $80-$90 million.

Post provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP guidance measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for income/expense on swaps, net, integration and transaction costs, mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments, mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, net, equity method investment adjustment and other charges reflected in Post's reconciliations of historical numbers, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be significant. In addition, Post provides the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA contribution from the 8th Avenue acquisition, excluding the pasta business, only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. For additional information regarding Post's non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under "Use of Non-GAAP Measures."

**Use of Non-GAAP Measures** 

Post uses certain non-GAAP measures in this release to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted net earnings/loss, Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales, segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales, the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA contribution from the 8th Avenue acquisition, excluding the pasta business and free cash flow. The reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided later in this release under "Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures."

Management uses certain of these non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA, as key metrics in the evaluation of underlying company and segment performance, in making financial, operating and planning decisions and, in part, in the determination of bonuses for its executive officers and employees. Additionally, Post is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of Post and its segments and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude certain items as described later in this release. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For additional information regarding

Post's non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations provided under "Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures."

**EXPLANATION AND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES**

Post uses certain non-GAAP measures in this release to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted net earnings/loss, Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales, segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales and free cash flow. The reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables following this section. Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude certain items as described below. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

<u>Adjusted net earnings/loss and Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share</u>

Post believes Adjusted net earnings/loss and Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share are useful to investors in evaluating Post's operating performance because they exclude items that affect the comparability of Post's financial results and could potentially distort an understanding of the trends in business performance.

Adjusted net earnings/loss and Adjusted diluted earnings/loss per common share are adjusted for the following items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.*Income/expense on swaps, net*: Post has excluded the impact of mark-to-market adjustments and cash settlements on interest rate swaps due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to estimates of fair value and economic conditions and as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.*Restructuring and facility closure costs, including accelerated depreciation*: Post has excluded certain costs associated with facility closures as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, Post believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.*Debt premiums paid/discounts received, net*: Post has excluded payments and other expenses for premiums on debt extinguishment, net of gains realized on debt repurchased at a discount, as such payments are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Additionally, Post believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*d.Gain/loss on sale of business*: Post has excluded gains and losses recorded on divestitures as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, Post believes that these gains and losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating income and expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.*Integration costs and transaction costs*: Post has excluded transaction costs related to professional service fees and other related costs associated with signed and closed business combinations and divestitures and integration costs incurred to integrate acquired or to-be-acquired businesses or assets as Post believes that these exclusions allow for more meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance and comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods. Post believes such costs are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of acquired businesses or assets as part of Post or the performance of the divested businesses or assets, and such costs are not factored into management's evaluation of potential acquisitions or Post's performance after completion of an acquisition or the evaluation to divest a business or asset. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges varies significantly based on the size and timing of the transaction and the maturity of any businesses being acquired or divested. Also, the size, complexity and/or volume of past transactions, which often drive the magnitude of such expenses, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of future transactions. By excluding these expenses, management is better able to evaluate Post's ability to utilize its existing assets and estimate the long-term value that acquired businesses or assets will generate for Post.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.*Mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments:* Post has excluded the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments due to the inherent volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in market pricing variations and as the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent. Additionally, these adjustments are primarily non-cash items and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.*Mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges*: Post has excluded the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates. Additionally, these adjustments are primarily non-cash items, and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.*Asset disposal costs:* Post has excluded costs recorded in connection with the disposal of certain assets which were never put into use and/or the demolition and site remediation of unused facilities as the amount and frequency of these costs are not consistent. Additionally, Post believes that these costs do not reflect expected ongoing future operating

expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.*Costs expected to be indemnified, net*: Post has excluded certain costs incurred and expected to be indemnified in connection with damaged assets and gains related to indemnification proceeds received above the carrying value of damaged assets as Post believes such gains and losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating income and expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j.*Advisory income*: Post has excluded advisory income received from 8th Avenue prior to Post's acquisition of 8th Avenue as Post believes such income did not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k.*Provision for legal settlements*: Post has excluded gains and losses recorded to recognize the anticipated or actual resolution of certain litigation as Post believes such gains and losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating income and expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l.*Income tax effect on adjustments*: Post has included the income tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments using a rate described in the applicable footnote of the reconciliation tables to be consistent with the treatment of these adjustments in the calculation of the non-GAAP measure.

<u>Adjusted EBITDA, segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales and segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales</u>

Post believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating Post's operating performance and liquidity because (i) Post believes it is widely used to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, (ii) it presents a measure of corporate performance exclusive of Post's capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired and (iii) it is a financial indicator of a company's ability to service its debt, as Post is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Post believes that segment Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating Post's operating performance because it allows for assessment of the operating performance of each reportable segment. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to provide forward-looking guidance and uses Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA to forecast future results. Post believes that Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales and segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales are measures useful to investors in evaluating Post's operating performance because they allow for meaningful comparison of operating performance across periods.

Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA reflect adjustments for interest expense, net, income tax expense/benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and the following adjustments discussed above: income/expense on swaps, net, restructuring and facility closure costs, gain/loss on sale of business, integration costs and transaction costs, mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments, mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges, asset disposal costs, costs expected to be indemnified, net, advisory income and provision for legal settlements. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and segment Adjusted EBITDA reflect adjustments for the following items:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;m.*Stock-based compensation*: Post's compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain executives and employees by aligning their long-term compensation interests with shareholders' investment interests. Post has excluded stock-based compensation as stock-based compensation can vary significantly based on reasons such as the timing, size and nature of the awards granted and subjective assumptions which are unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period and does not contribute to meaningful comparisons of Post's operating performances to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;n.*Gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, net*: Post has excluded gains and losses recorded on extinguishment of debt, inclusive of payments for premiums and tender fees and the write-off of debt issuance costs, net of gains realized on the write-off of unamortized debt premiums and debt repurchased at a discount, as such gains and losses are inconsistent in amount and frequency. Additionally, Post believes that these gains and losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating income and expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance or comparisons of Post's operating performance to other periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o.*Equity method investment adjustment*: Post has included adjustments for its portion of income tax expense/benefit, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization for Weetabix's unconsolidated investment accounted for using equity method accounting as Post believes these adjustments contribute to a more meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;p.*Noncontrolling interest adjustment*: Post has included adjustments for income tax expense/benefit, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization for Weetabix's consolidated investment which is attributable to the noncontrolling owners of Weetabix's consolidated investment as Post believes these adjustments contribute to a more meaningful evaluation of Post's current operating performance.

------

<u>Free cash flow</u>

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure which represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Post believes free cash flow is useful to investors in evaluating Post's ability to service debt and repurchase shares of its common stock.
