Organic sales growth was 1.7%. • Operating income was $276 million in the second quarter compared to $246 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted operating income was $336 million compared to $259 million in the year-ago period. • Earnings per share was $0.56 in the second quarter as compared to $0.65 in the year-ago period. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.80 as compared to $0.69 in the year-ago period. • For fiscal year 2026, McCormick reaffirmed its sales growth, adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per share outlook. • McCormick is making strong progress on integration planning for the proposed Unilever Foods combination and remains confident in delivering the expected strategic and financial benefits, including significant earnings per share accretion. Chairman, President, and CEO's Remarks Brendan M. Foley, Chairman, President, and CEO, stated, "Second quarter results demonstrate the continued strength and resilience of our business in a dynamic operating environment. Total organic growth was driven by accelerated momentum in Flavor Solutions, with gains across Flavors and Branded Foodservice customers, highlighting the benefits of our diversified flavor focused portfolio. We also effectively managed elevated inflation and incremental costs related to the Middle East conflict through productivity initiatives and cost savings programs, resulting in underlying margin improvement for the quarter. In addition, our performance was supported by accretion from the McCormick de Mexico acquisition.

![](mkcreportsstrongsecondqu002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"We are also advancing integration planning for the proposed combination with Unilever Foods. This transformative combination accelerates our growth strategy and reinforces our continued focus on flavor. It creates a diversified flavor leader with a robust growth profile that remains differentiated by its focus on flavoring calories while others compete for them. Our teams are working with focus and discipline to ensure we are well positioned to realize the anticipated strategic and financial benefits after the close. "Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we expect to sustain the momentum in Flavor Solutions and increase reinvestment to improve Consumer volume trends and organic sales. Our enhanced margin profile and operational rigor position us well to deliver a virtuous cycle of growth through continued investment in our brands, capabilities, and innovation that drive long-term value creation. Our fundamentals remain strong, supported by our advantaged categories and disciplined execution, giving us confidence in our ability to deliver on our 2026 outlook." "Finally, I want to recognize the dedication of our employees. Their continued commitment to serving consumers, customers, and one another reflects the strength of our Power of People culture and supports our sustained performance. I appreciate our teams' focus and collaboration across the business as they advance our priorities, including the ongoing integration planning for the proposed combination with Unilever Foods. Our strong culture will remain our foundation, as we build a future-ready organization to drive our long-term growth."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Profitability Metrics Second Quarter 2026 (in millions except per share data) As Reported Adjusted Q2 2026 vs. 2025 Q2 2026 vs. 2025 Gross profit $778.2 25.0 % $778.2 25.0 % Gross profit margin 40.2 % 270 bps 40.2 % 270 bps Operating income $276.4 12.4 % $336.4 30.1 % Operating income margin 14.3 % (50) bps 17.4 % 180 bps Net income attributable to McCormick $150.1 (14.2) % $215.9 16.8 % Earnings per share - diluted $0.56 (13.8) % $0.80 15.9 % Second Quarter 2026 Results Net sales increased 17% in the second quarter compared to the year-ago period and included a 3% favorable impact from currency. Sales from McCormick de Mexico contributed 12% to the sales increase. Organic sales increased 2%, driven by price. • Consumer segment net sales increased 23% from the second quarter of 2025 to $1,143 million including a 20% contribution from McCormick de Mexico and a 2% favorable impact from currency. Organic sales increased 1%, driven by a 3% increase from price partially offset by a 2% decline in volume and product mix. • Flavor Solutions segment net sales increased 9% from the second quarter of 2025 to $794 million and included a 3% favorable impact from currency and 3% contribution from McCormick de Mexico. Organic sales increased 3%, driven nearly equally by both price and volume and product mix. Gross profit for the second quarter increased by $155 million from the comparable period in 2025. Gross profit margin expanded 270 basis points versus the second quarter of last year. The expansion was driven by contribution from the acquisition of McCormick de Mexico, the impact of the IEEPA tariff refund, pricing, and cost savings led by the Company's Comprehensive Continuous Improvement (CCI) program, partially offset by higher commodity costs and costs related to the Middle East conflict. The IEEPA tariff refund reduced costs of goods sold by $28 million, reversing IEEPA tariff costs the business absorbed in prior periods. For the second quarter of 2026, the refund contributed approximately 140 basis points to gross profit margin expansion for the second quarter. Underlying gross profit margin expansion was 130 basis points for the quarter. Operating income was $276 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $246 million in the second quarter of 2025. Excluding special charges, adjusted operating income was $336 million compared to $259 million in the year-ago period. Adjusted operating income increased 30% from the year-ago period, including a 3% favorable impact from currency. In constant currency, adjusted operating income increased 27% driven by higher gross profit, cost savings led by the CCI program, including selling, general and administrative (SG&A) streamlining initiatives, partially offset by

------

![](mkcreportsstrongsecondqu004.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;higher SG&A expenses primarily due to acquisition related increase, as well as increased brand marketing investments and technology investments. • Consumer segment operating income, excluding special charges, increased 33% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the year-ago period to $217 million, or 31% in constant currency. The increase was driven by higher gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses including investments in brand marketing and technology. • Flavor Solutions segment operating income, excluding special charges, increased 26% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the year-ago period to $120 million, or 22% in constant currency. The increase was driven by higher gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses including investments in technology. Earnings per share was $0.56 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $0.65 in the second quarter of 2025. Special charges, including transaction and integration costs, lowered diluted earnings per share by $0.24. Excluding special charges adjusted earnings per share was $0.80 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $0.69 in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher adjusted operating income and a lower adjusted effective tax rate, partially offset by lower unconsolidated income and higher interest expense. Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Outlook McCormick's fiscal 2026 outlook continues to reflect the Company's prioritized investments in key categories to sustain its volume trends and drive long-term profitable growth while appreciating the uncertainty of the consumer and macro environment, including global trade policies and the conflict in the Middle East. The Company's CCI program is continuing to fuel growth investments while also driving operating margin expansion. Lastly, the outlook reflects meaningful contributions from the acquisition of a controlling interest in McCormick de Mexico, which closed on January 2, 2026.

Current Guide - Expectations

------

![](mkcreportsstrongsecondqu005.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Sales: • Sustained total volume growth and increased pricing benefits relative to the prior year. Adjusted Operating Income: • Adjusted gross margin is now expected to expand by 100 to 120 basis points from 2025. Favorable impacts from organic sales growth, McCormick de Mexico accretion, and the Company's CCI program. • The benefit of the IEEPA tariff refund will be offset with increased inflationary costs, including costs related to the Middle East conflict, as well as continued investments in business growth. • SG&A expenses impacted by cost headwinds including digital transformation and build back of incentive compensation, as well as growth investments. In addition, SG&A is expected to benefit from the Company's CCI program, inclusive of streamlining initiatives. Adjusted Earnings per Share: • Adjusted operating income growth partially offset by: ◦ Tax rate of approximately 24.0% vs. 21.5% in 2025. ◦ Higher net interest expense, primarily associated with the McCormick de Mexico transaction. ◦ Income from unconsolidated operations no longer reflects ownership interest in McCormick de Mexico subsequent to the January 2026 acquisition. ◦ The acquisition of the additional ownership interest resulted in the consolidation of McCormick de Mexico's financial results in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Income attributable to noncontrolling interest reflects elimination of the 25% minority interest in McCormick de Mexico Net Income attributable to Grupo Herdez. The Company expects foreign currency rates to favorably impact net sales by 1%, adjusted operating income by 1%, and adjusted earnings per share by 1%. For fiscal 2026, the Company expects strong cash flow driven by profit and working capital initiatives and anticipates returning a significant portion of cash flow to shareholders through dividends. The Company's outlook for 2026 adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per share are non- GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise adjust for items impacting comparability of financial results. The Company does not provide guidance on a GAAP basis as it cannot predict certain items included in GAAP results such as special charges, including transaction and integration expenses. McCormick Combination with Unilever Foods In March 2026, the Company announced the agreement to combine McCormick with Unilever's Foods business, excluding India and other excluded businesses1 to create a preeminent global flavor-

------

![](mkcreportsstrongsecondqu006.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;focused company operating in attractive, high-growth categories, with approximately $20 billion in fiscal year 2025 revenue2 and a 21% operating margin and strong cash flow generation. The transaction is expected to be accretive to McCormick's net sales growth rate, operating margin, and adjusted EPS with mid- to high-single-digit adjusted EPS accretion anticipated within the first twelve months post-close and mid-to high-teens accretion expected in Year 3. The combined company is expected to realize approximately $600 million of annual run rate cost synergies net of growth reinvestments, and incremental cost and revenue synergies of $100 million that will be reinvested to further drive growth. Integration planning, led by experienced McCormick and Unilever Foods personnel, is currently underway to deliver these synergies. The Company expects to reach several key transaction milestones in the coming months. It expects to announce the location of a secondary listing on a European exchange by the end of July 2026. By the end of September 2026, the Company expects to share further detail on the operating model, cost and growth synergies, and the scope of the Transition Services Agreement (TSA). Lastly, the Company will provide an update on the two parallel workstreams to support separation of financial reports and regulatory filings. 1 Transaction excludes Unilever's food business in India, Nepal and Portugal; its Lifestyle & Nutrition business; its Buavita business; and its Lipton Ready-to-Drink business (together, the "Excluded Businesses"). 2 Combined sales figure represents McCormick's net sales for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, and Unilever Foods' net sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Unilever Foods' financials based on 2025 reported financials, prepared under IFRS adjusted for the separated Foods business and translated from EUR to USD at the Unilever 2025 average rate of 1.124. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The following tables include financial measures of organic net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted income tax rate, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These represent non-GAAP financial measures which are prepared as a complement to our financial results prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. These financial measures exclude the impact, as applicable, of the following: • Special charges - Special charges consist of expenses and income associated with certain actions undertaken by us to reduce fixed costs, simplify or improve processes, and improve our competitiveness and are of such significance in terms of both up-front costs and organizational/structural impact to require advance approval by our Management Committee. Expenses associated with the approved actions are classified as special charges upon recognition and monitored on an ongoing basis through completion. Included in special charges are transaction and integration costs incurred in conjunction with acquisitions. • Gain on remeasurement of previously held equity interest - On January 2, 2026, we completed the acquisition of an additional 25% ownership interest in McCormick de Mexico which increased our ownership to a 75% controlling interest. Prior to the acquisition of the additional ownership interest, we accounted for our 50% ownership interest as an equity method investment. The acquisition of the additional ownership interest resulted in the consolidation of McCormick de Mexico's financial results. As a result of the consolidation, the carrying

------

![](mkcreportsstrongsecondqu007.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;value of our previously held 50% ownership interest was remeasured to fair value resulting in a gain. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are important. The exclusion of the items noted above provides additional information that enables enhanced comparisons to prior periods and, accordingly, facilitates the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of our ongoing operations and analyze our business performance and trends. These non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP; however, they should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, as they may calculate them differently than we do. We intend to continue providing these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions, ensuring consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP financial measures follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Gross profit margin, impact of special charges, and adjusted gross profit margin are calculated as gross profit, impact of special charges, and adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales for each period presented. The impact of special charges included in cost of goods sold represents the step-up of acquired inventory recognized in cost of goods sold as the related inventory was sold. (2) Operating income margin, impact of special charges, and adjusted operating income margin are calculated as operating income, impact of special charges, and adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales for each period presented. (3) Income tax rate is calculated as income tax expense as a percentage of income from consolidated operations before income taxes. Adjusted income tax rate is calculated as adjusted income tax expense as a percentage of income from consolidated operations before income taxes excluding special charges of $287.0 million and $217.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $512.1 million and $403.9 million for the six months ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. (4) The impact of special charges, net of noncontrolling interests, for six months ended May 31, 2026 includes a $2.6 million non-controlling interest effect associated with the step-up of acquired inventory recognized in cost of goods sold as the related inventory was sold. (5) The impact of special charges, net of noncontrolling interests, for three and six months ended May 31, 2026 includes a net income impact of $5.2 million related to transaction expenses included in interest expense. Because we are a multi-national company, we are subject to variability of our reported U.S. dollar results due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Those changes can be volatile. The exclusion of the effects of foreign currency exchange, or what we refer to as amounts expressed "on a constant currency basis," is a non-GAAP measure. We believe that this non-GAAP measure provides additional information that enables enhanced comparison to prior periods excluding the translation effects of changes in rates of foreign currency exchange and provides additional insight into the underlying performance of our operations located outside of the U.S. It should be noted that our presentation herein of amounts and percentage changes on a constant currency basis does not exclude the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses (that is, the impact of transactions denominated in other than the local currency of any of our subsidiaries in their local currency reported results). We provide organic net sales growth rates for our consolidated net sales and segment net sales. We believe that organic net sales growth rates provide useful information to investors because they provide transparency to underlying performance in our net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, acquisitions, and divestitures, as applicable, have on year-to-year comparability. A reconciliation of these measures from reported net sales growth rates, the relevant GAAP measures, are included in the tables set forth below. Percentage changes in sales and adjusted operating income expressed on a constant currency basis are presented excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange. To present this information for historical periods, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the comparative year, rather than at the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in the average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the comparative year. Rates of constant currency and organic growth (decline) follow:
