Q2 FISCAL 2017 EARNINGS
DECEMBER 22, 2016
Our increased focus and discipline on driving value over volume are enabling us to expand our margins as we build a higher-quality revenue base, improve efficiency, and deliver stronger, more consistent performance. We expect to improve sales growth trends in the second half of the fiscal year as we begin to lap the pricing and trade actions we undertook last year.
- Sean Connolly, President and Chief Executive Officer of Conagra Brands
