Freshpet Inc
Freshpet makes and sells refrigerated fresh pet food for dogs and cats. Its products are branded meals, treats, and complements that sit in special chilled cases in grocery stores, mass merchants, and pet specialty shops. The company is aimed at pet owners who want a fresher alternative to traditional dry and canned pet food. Freshpet makes money by selling its products through retail partners and other distribution channels. The main customer is the end consumer, but the company also depends on retailers that give its food shelf space and maintain the cold cases needed to keep it fresh. That makes its business different from most pet food companies, which usually sell shelf-stable products that can move through normal dry-goods logistics. Its role in the industry is to bring a refrigerated, perishable food model into pet care. Freshpet has to manage manufacturing, cold storage, and refrigerated transport more carefully than a typical packaged-food brand. In return, it sells a product category that sits between mass-market pet food and premium fresh meal alternatives.

Sales beat: Freshpet said first-quarter net sales were $297.6 million, up 13.1% year over year and ahead of its guidance range.
Outlook raised: Management raised 2026 sales growth guidance to 8% to 11% from 7% to 10%, while keeping adjusted EBITDA guidance at $205 million to $215 million.
Demand strong: The company said household penetration, buy rate, digital orders, and omnichannel performance all improved, with no sign of trade-down among its core users.
Costs mixed: Gross margin improved in Q1, but logistics costs, media timing, variable compensation, and higher fuel costs pressured EBITDA margin.
New tech: Freshpet is expanding its new bag technology and said about 35% of bag capacity should use some version of it by year-end, with most financial benefit expected in 2027.
2027 goals intact: Management reiterated confidence in reaching at least 48% gross margin and a 20% to 22% EBITDA margin in 2027.
