Central Garden & Pet Raises Earnings Outlook on Cost-Cutting Initiative, Favorable Product Mix

Dow Jones

Jul 11

By Nicholas G. Miller

Central Garden & Pet upped its fiscal 2025 outlook, citing better-than-expected margins from a multi-year cost-reduction plan and selling more higher-margin items.

The Walnut Creek, Calif.-based company raised its expected earnings to $2.60 a share, from the $2.20 a share it guided for in its second-quarter earnings report in May. Chief Executive Niko Lahanas said the improved outlook was based on margin expansion driven by the company's cost-cutting plan and a favorable product mix.

The company said the updated outlook includes potential shifts in consumer behavior and brick-and-mortar retail challenges, but does not reflect the effect of potential changes in tariff rates.

Central Garden & Pet shares rose 9.4% to $39.89 in early trading.
