Bulls say / Bears say
Universal’s total revenue and operating income rose by 7% and 5%, respectively, in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, fueled by strong results in both Tobacco and Ingredients Operations.
Average sales prices in Tobacco climbed 12% in fiscal 2025, supported by higher-quality, larger African crops and strong carryover sales, which improved segment margins despite a slight drop in volume.
The company cut net debt by $180 million to $817 million as of March 31, 2025, strengthening its balance sheet and increasing financial flexibility.
Q4 FY2025 revenue fell 9% year-over-year to $702.3 million, mainly due to timing shifts in tobacco shipments, highlighting volatility in the company’s core business.
Tobacco Operations segment operating income dropped 38% year-over-year to $45.8 million in Q4 FY2025, reflecting margin pressures from weather-affected crops and lower sales volumes.
Adjusted net income for fiscal 2025 fell 9% because of a $14.1 million pension settlement charge and a $13.4 million increase in interest expenses, showing growing cost pressures.
