      Executive Commentary

      "Our fourth-quarter results capped off another year of substantial operational and financial progress for Maple Leaf Foods," said Curtis Frank, President and Chief Executive Officer of Maple Leaf Foods. "In 2025, disciplined execution of the Maple Leaf Blueprint delivered revenue growth of nearly 8%, a 21% increase in Adjusted EBITDA, and a 140-basis-point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA margin to 12.2%, while further strengthening our balance sheet and unlocking shareholder value."

      "We are now seeing the tangible benefits of our transformation into a simpler, purpose-driven, protein-centric, brand-led CPG company," continued Frank. "The strength of our portfolio of leading brands, the resilience of our proven growth platforms, and the returns from major capital projects and initiatives such as Fuel for Growth are driving margin expansion and improving consistency across the business."

      "Having entered a new phase defined by balance sheet strength and financial flexibility, we are well positioned to pursue a disciplined, investor-focused approach to capital allocation while driving mid-single-digit revenue growth and continued margin expansion. This supports our expectation of $520 to $540 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2026 and reflects the focus and execution of our teams as they continue to translate our strategy into results."

      Outlook

      • The Company expects the following for fiscal 2026:
        • Mid-single-digit increase in revenue from 2025, driven by the execution of proven growth strategies along with strong and growing consumer demand for protein.
        • Adjusted EBITDA(ii) of approximately $520 - $540 million, driven by revenue growth and margin improvement from operational discipline and the benefits from the Company's Fuel for Growth initiative.
        • Maintain an investment-grade balance sheet with Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA(ii) below 3.0x supported by strong free cash flow and prudent capital allocation.
        • Disciplined capital investment of approximately $160 - $180 million in spend focused on maintenance and productivity enhancement investments.
        • Dividend growth of approximately 10% with the quarterly dividend increasing from $0.19 to $0.21 per share, underscoring Maple Leaf Foods' commitment to delivering shareholder returns.

      Maple Leaf Foods recognizes that macro-economic factors may continue to strongly influence the operating environment, creating uncertainty and potential volatility. This has a number of implications for the Company's business, including the influence these dynamics have on consumer sentiment, supply chain activity, access to markets, barriers to trade, and foreign exchange rates. The Company leverages its data-driven insights to stay close to these evolving circumstances and is confident in the resilience of its brands, business model and strategy to manage through prevailing economic conditions. At the same time, it recognizes that its ability to deliver its 2026 guidance could be impacted by these conditions. Refer to section 23. Risk Factors in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025 as filed on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR+").

      (i)    Refer to the section titled Non-IFRS Financial Measures in this news release.

      (ii)   Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect results from continuing operations with the exception of Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA.

      Sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $991.2 million compared to $917.1 million last year, an increase of 8.1%. Prepared Foods sales increased by 6.1% driven by pricing and improved mix, which were partially offset by increased trade promotions. Poultry sales increased by 13.1% driven by improved channel mix tied to retail and foodservice volume growth and pricing, which were partially offset by increased trade promotions.

      Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $158.4 million (gross margin(i) of 16.0%) compared to $143.5 million (gross margin of 15.6%) last year. The increase in gross profit was driven by favourable Poultry channel mix, improved operating efficiencies, and pricing impacts which were partially offset by input cost inflation and higher trade promotion costs.

      Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $93.2 million compared to $90.0 million last year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by higher variable compensation.

      Loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $34.4 million ($0.28 loss per basic share from continuing operations), compared to earnings of $6.4 million ($0.05 earnings per basic share from continuing operations) last year. Loss from continuing operations was impacted by the same factors as noted above for gross profit and SG&A, a non-cash impairment of plant protein intangible assets and higher income tax expense, partly offset by a non-cash settlement gain on a pension annuity purchase, reduced interest expense due to lower debt levels, and lower restructuring charges.

      Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $391.2 million ($3.14 earnings per basic share) compared to $53.5 million ($0.43 earnings per basic share) last year. The increase was driven by the factors noted above for the decrease in earnings from continuing operations and the foregone earnings from the divested business, which were more than offset by a gain from the disposal of the pork operations.

      Adjusted Operating Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $67.2 million compared to $52.8 million last year, and Adjusted Earnings per Share for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.32 compared to $0.18 last year. The increase was driven by factors consistent with those noted above for gross profit and SG&A.

      Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $117.3 million, compared to $108.3 million last year, driven by factors consistent with those noted above for Adjusted Operating Earnings.  Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 11.8%, flat to last year, also driven by factors consistent with those noted above.

      Adjusted Earnings Before Taxes ("Adjusted EBT") for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $54.6 million compared to $27.8 million last year, driven by factors noted above.

      Free Cash Flow for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $69.8 million compared to $129.8 million in the prior year. Free Cash Flow decreased due to lower cash earnings as a result of the spin-out of the pork operations, income tax refunds in the prior year and higher maintenance capital expenditures, partially offset by lower interest payments.

      Full Year 2025

      Sales for 2025 were $3,912.7 million compared to $3,633.4 million last year, an increase of 7.7%. Prepared Foods sales increased by 6.5% driven by pricing, improved mix, and volume growth, which were partially offset by higher trade promotions. Poultry sales increased by 10.8% driven by improved channel mix tied to retail and foodservice volume growth and pricing, which were partially offset by increased trade promotions.

      Gross profit for 2025 increased to $662.8 million (gross margin(i) of 16.9%) compared to $557.3 million (gross margin of 15.3%) last year. The increase in gross profit was driven by favourable mix in Prepared Foods and Poultry, positive operating efficiencies inclusive of benefits from the investments in the London poultry and Bacon Centre of Excellence facilities, a reduction in start-up expenses, lower depreciation, and pricing impacts which were partially offset by input cost inflation and higher trade promotion costs.

      SG&A expenses for 2025 were $397.4 million compared to $391.7 million last year. The increase was driven by higher variable compensation and higher advertising and promotional expenses, which were partially offset by lower consulting fees.

      Earnings from continuing operations for 2025 were $43.9 million ($0.35 earnings per basic share from continuing operations) compared to a loss of $11.9 million ($0.10 loss per basic share from continuing operations) last year. Earnings from continuing operations were impacted by the same factors as noted above for gross profit and SG&A, reduced interest expense due to lower debt levels and interest rates, a non-cash settlement gain on a pension annuity purchase, and lower restructuring costs, all partly offset by a non-cash impairment of plant protein intangible assets and higher income tax expense.

      Earnings for 2025 were $541.6 million ($4.36 earnings per basic share) compared to $96.6 million ($0.79 earnings per basic share) last year. The increase was driven by earnings from continuing operations as noted above as well as a gain from the disposal of the pork operations, partially offset by the foregone earnings from the divested business for the fourth quarter, both of which are reflected within discontinued operations.

      Adjusted Operating Earnings for 2025 were $270.3 million compared to $181.9 million last year, and Adjusted Earnings per Share for 2025 was $1.09 compared to $0.15 last year. The increase was driven by factors consistent with those noted above excluding the impact of start-up expenses.

      Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was $475.7 million compared to $392.7 million last year, driven by factors consistent with those noted above for Adjusted Operating Earnings excluding the reduction of depreciation expense. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for 2025 was 12.2% compared to 10.8% last year, also driven by factors consistent with those noted above.

      Adjusted EBT for 2025 was $189.6 million compared to $33.0 million last year due to similar factors as noted above.

      Free Cash Flow for 2025 was $318.4 million compared to $385.3 million in the prior year. Free Cash Flow decreased due to income tax refunds in the prior year and investments in working capital offset by lower interest paid and improved earnings after the removal of non-cash items.

      Net Debt as at December 31, 2025 was $995.2 million, a decrease of $520.9 million compared to the prior year. For discussion of changes in Net Debt see section 12. Cash Flow and Financing of the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025 as filed on SEDAR+.

      (i)    Gross margin is defined as gross profit divided by sales.

      Other Matters

      On January 12, 2026, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.19 per share to $0.21 per share, or $0.84 per share on an annual basis. With this increase, the dividend payment for the first quarter of 2026 will be $0.21 per common share, payable on March 31, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2026. Unless indicated otherwise by the Company at or before the time the dividend is paid, the dividend will be considered an eligible dividend for the purposes of the "Enhanced Dividend Tax Credit System". The Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") permits eligible shareholders to direct their cash dividends to be reinvested in additional common shares of the Company. For those who wish to reinvest their dividends under the DRIP, Maple Leaf Foods intends to issue common shares from treasury at a price equal to 100% of the weighted average closing price of the shares for the five trading days preceding the dividend payment date. Full details of the DRIP, including how to enroll in the program, are available at https://www.mapleleaffoods.com.

      Non-IFRS Financial Measures

      The Company uses the following non-IFRS measures: Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBT, Construction Capital, Net Debt, Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. Management believes that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors in measuring the financial performance of the Company for the reasons outlined below. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.  

      Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBT  

      Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBT are non-IFRS measures used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. Adjusted Operating Earnings is defined as earnings before income taxes adjusted for items that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business and certain items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Operating Earnings plus depreciation and intangible asset amortization, adjusted for items included in other expense that are considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. Adjusted EBT is used annually by the Company to evaluate its performance and is a component of calculating bonus entitlements under the Company's short term incentive plan. It is defined as Adjusted EBITDA plus interest income, less depreciation and amortization, and interest expense and other financing costs.

      The table below provides a reconciliation of earnings before income taxes as reported under IFRS in the Consolidated Financial Statements to Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBT for the years ended December 31, as indicated below. Management believes that these non-IFRS measures are useful in assessing the performance of the Company's ongoing operations and its ability to generate cash flows to fund its requirements.

      Adjusted Earnings per Share

      Adjusted Earnings per Share, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. It is defined as earnings per basic share and is adjusted on the same basis as Adjusted Operating Earnings. The table below provides a reconciliation of  earnings per basic share as reported under IFRS in the Consolidated Financial Statements to Adjusted Earnings per Share for the years ended December 31, as indicated below. Management believes this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate financial results as they are representative of the ongoing operations of the Company.

      Net Debt 

      The following table reconciles Net Debt and Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA ratio to amounts reported under IFRS in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, as indicated below. The Company calculates Net Debt as cash and cash equivalents, less current and long-term debt and bank indebtedness and calculates Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA as the absolute value of Net Debt divided by Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes this measure is useful in assessing the amount of financial leverage employed.

The Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. 

      Specific forward-looking information in this document may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to:

      • the Company's ability to pursue a disciplined, investor focused approach to capital allocation while driving mid-single digit revenue growth and continued Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion;

      • the Company's dividend policy, including future levels and sustainability of cash dividends, the tax treatment thereof and future dividend payment dates;

      Various factors or assumptions are typically applied by the Company in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts, projections, predictions or estimations set out in the forward-looking statements. These factors and assumptions are based on information currently available to the Company, including information obtained by the Company from third-party sources and include but are not limited to the following:

      • the benefits and impacts of the Spin-Off being realized, including the projected risks, costs, dis-synergies, and tax consequences;
      • compliance by Maple Leaf Foods, Canada Packers and "specified shareholders", as defined in the Income Tax Act (''ITA"), with the rules related to butterfly transactions under the ITA both before and after the completion of the Spin-Off;
      • the ability of Canada Packers to meet the Company's demand for pork for its Prepared Foods operations, including pork that meets the Company's sustainability requirements and claims;
      • expectations regarding the adaptations in operations, supply chain, customer and consumer behaviour, economic patterns, foreign exchange rates, tariffs and other international trade dynamics, access to capital, and potential structural changes in global economic patterns;
      • the competitive environment, associated market conditions (including tariffs) and market share metrics, category growth or contraction, the expected behaviour of competitors and customers and trends in consumer preferences;
      • the success of the Company's business strategy and the relationship between pricing, inflation, volume and sales of the Company's products;
      • prevailing commodity prices, implications of tariffs, interest rates, tax rates and exchange rates;
      • impacts related to cybersecurity matters, including security costs, the potential for a future incident, the risks associated with data breaches, the availability of insurance, the effectiveness of remediation and prevention activities, third party activities, ongoing impacts, customer, consumer and supplier responses and regulatory considerations;
      • geopolitical conditions and the ability of the Company to access markets and source ingredients and other inputs in light of global sociopolitical disruption, and the ongoing impact of global conflicts on inflation, trade and markets;
      • the extent of potential outbreaks and/or spread of animal disease and implications for all protein markets;
      • the availability of and access to capital to fund future capital requirements and ongoing operations;
      • expectations regarding participation in and funding of the Company's pension plans;
      • the availability of insurance coverage to manage certain liability exposures;
      • the extent of future liabilities and recoveries related to legal claims;
      • prevailing regulatory, tax and environmental laws; and
      • future operating costs and performance, including the Company's ability to achieve operating efficiencies and maintain sales volumes, turnover of inventories and turnover of accounts receivable.

      Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results expressed, implied, or projected in the forward­ looking statements contained in this document include, among other things, risks associated with the following:

      • the Spin-Off not delivering the anticipated long-term strategic and financial advantages for the Company, and the degree to which benefits are realized or not and the timing to realize those benefits, including the implications on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
