Sanfilippo EPS Jumps 34% in Fiscal Q4
John B. Sanfilippo Son (NASDAQ:JBSS), a major nut processor and snack food company, released its earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 on August 20, 2025. The biggest news was a strong surge in diluted earnings per share (EPS), which rose to $1.15 from $0.86 in the prior year quarter, representing a 33.7% increase. Total revenue (GAAP) was nearly unchanged at $269.1 million, just slightly below last year’s figure, but underlying sales volumes fell in the company’s core branded (-19.7%) and private label (-10.7%) categories. Gross profit and margin both declined in FY2025, mainly due to higher nut acquisition costs. Overall, the quarter showed resilient profits but underlined ongoing challenges in consumer demand and margin strength.
John B. Sanfilippo Son is a leading processor and distributor of nuts and related snack products in the United States. It sells peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans, and snack bars through brands like Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, and Southern Style, as well as private label and contract manufacturing partnerships.
The company’s core strengths are its vertical integration and multi-channel sales strategy. Vertical integration means John B. Sanfilippo Son manages most steps in its supply chain, from procurement of raw nuts directly from growers to processing and packaging. This approach helps it control quality and costs, while spreading its products across retail, commercial ingredient, and contract manufacturing channels gives resilience against swings in any single market.
