Expert Statements

Daniel S. Jaffee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oil-Dri Corporation of America

“Fiscal year 2026 has been especially meaningful as we celebrated our 85th anniversary and reported our strongest full-year sales and net income in history. In the first half of the year, we faced difficult comparisons against a robust prior period. Our team remained focused on growing the business in the second half and ultimately delivered solid results that surpassed last year’s performance. The fourth quarter closed out the year on a high note, with record breaking sales. While some areas of our business encountered headwinds, others delivered strong growth, demonstrating the benefit of our diverse product portfolio. Despite inflationary cost pressures, we maintained disciplined expense management and achieved historic levels of cash generation, while continuing to invest in our business and returning value to shareholders with two dividend increases. As we enter fiscal 2027, we remain focused on our strategic initiatives and supporting our businesses.”
