What’s Working Well for Tyson Foods?
Tyson Foods is undertaking several operational and supply chain efficiency programs to place itself better in the long run. In this regard, the company continues to accelerate digitalization via supply chain planning and execution processes to enhance customer service. Management is optimizing its plant network by adding fully cooked capacity, converting plants for value-added production, executing plant flexibility and enhancing portfolio mix. In its last earnings call, management highlighted investing in new plants and expanding existing capacity across its global network.
Presently, the company has eight plants under construction, with two envisioned to start operation during fiscal 2022 while the other six would start by the end of fiscal 2023. The incremental capacity will help the company counter capacity constraints, accelerate value-added growth and meet the rising consumer demand for protein. Management expects to invest nearly $1.9 billion in fiscal 2022, focused mainly on new capacity and automation objectives. Tyson Foods remains focused on efforts to expand into international markets as part of its strategic growth plan.
Tyson Foods remains focused on higher protein production to cater to the rising demand for protein-packed food. It boasts a rich portfolio of protein-packed brands that are growing rapidly across the globe. Additionally, the company has undertaken divesture of non-protein businesses to focus more on the growing protein-packed food arena. Apart from this, the company has been steadily expanding its fresh prepared foods offering, owing to consumers’ rising demand for natural fresh meat offerings without any added hormones or antibiotics.
Considering its strong year-to-date results, management continued to expect fiscal 2022 sales in the $52-$54 billion range. For the Beef segment, the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) projects domestic production to grow roughly 1% year over year in fiscal 2022. Per USDA forecasts, production in the Chicken segment will likely improve by nearly 1% in fiscal 2022. For fiscal 2022, the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) projects domestic protein production (beef, pork, chicken and turkey) to be relatively in-line with fiscal 2021 levels.
Is All Rosy For Tyson Foods?
During third-quarter fiscal 2022, Tyson Foods total volumes inched down 1.9%. The downside can be attributed to supply constraints and a tough macroeconomic environment affecting consumer demand. For fiscal 2022, the company expects total volume growth to be flat year over year.
The company continued to witness increases in the cost of goods throughout the business, thanks to an increase in labor, feed ingredients, live animals and freight costs in the quarter.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, came in at 11.9%, down from 13% reported in the year-ago quarter.
That being said, the company is constantly looking for ways to improve cost structure, alongside achieving operational improvements and customer service. Starting from fiscal 2022, management launched a new productivity program to drive a better, faster and more agile organization. The company expects to achieve $1 billion in productivity savings by the end of fiscal 2024 and more than $400 million in fiscal 2022, relative to a fiscal 2021 cost baseline.
