Flowers Foods (FLO) Maintains Full-Year Outlook despite Rising Input Costs

Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE:FLO) reported its earnings for Q1 2026 on May 22. During its earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Diego Scaglione said rising costs tied to oil and related derivatives are expected to create an additional headwind of about $0.02 to $0.03 in the second half of the year. Scaglione said the company expects capital expenditures to range between $115 million and $125 million. He explained that maintenance spending usually runs at around plus or minus $2 million per bakery, while the remaining investments are directed toward growth initiatives and productivity improvements.

He also noted that the company maintained its full-year outlook and said the expected oil-related cost pressures had already been included in the reaffirmed guidance. On volumes, Scaglione said management is not expecting a meaningful near-term recovery. While he noted that volume comparisons should become easier as the year moves forward, he added that the company’s guidance does not assume a rebound in volumes.
