Description: SENEA Seneca Foods January 25, 2026
Seneca Foods Corp. (NASDAQ:SENEA) manufactures and packages a broad range of fruit and vegetable products-including canned, frozen, and jarred items-as well as snack chips, serving both private-label customers and its own brands such as Libby’s, Green Giant, and Aunt Nellie’s. The company also provides contract-packing services and sells ancillary products like cans, ends, and seeds, distributing to grocery chains, food-service operators, and government feeding programs across roughly 55 countries.
For fiscal year 2025, Seneca reported net sales of **$1.21 billion**, an adjusted EBITDA margin of **7.4 %**, and net income of **$42 million**. Cash flow from operations was **$68 million**, supporting a modest capex program of **$15 million** focused on line upgrades and automation. Contract-packing contributed roughly **22 %** of total revenue, indicating a diversified income stream beyond branded products.
Key drivers for the packaged-foods sector remain elevated commodity costs (especially tomatoes and potatoes), which have pressured margins, while the private-label segment continues to outpace branded growth, offering pricing power in price-sensitive retail channels. Additionally, macro-level trends such as inflation-adjusted consumer demand for convenient, shelf-stable foods and ongoing supply-chain bottlenecks in packaging materials are influencing Seneca’s cost structure and pricing strategy.
