Conagra Brands Investor Relations Material

Conagra Brands, Inc. (formerly known as ConAgra Foods) is an American holding company that owns a variety of different brands that produce consumer packaged goods. Its repertoire of products includes both frozen and refrigerated meals, snacks, and condiments, with a focus on convenient food options that take little to no time to prepare. Conagra's brands are sold in the US and select international markets, and amongst its portfolio, one finds classic brands such as Chef Boyardee and Slim Jim. The company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and its shares are traded on the NYSE.

Conagra Brands has its origins in the conglomeration of four Nebraska flour mills, which constituted the initial structure of what would become Consolidated Mills in 1919. The company initially focused on milling grain and expanded its operations into poultry and livestock feed. In 1971, Consolidated Mills changed its name to ConAgra, a portmanteau of 'Consolidated' and 'Agriculture. The company continued to grow organically over the years while acquiring various food businesses along the way and diversifying its product offerings. In 2016, reflecting a shift toward a more contemporary image and a focus on brand-centric food offerings, the company updated its name to Conagra Brands. Today, the company competes in the food industry with names such as Kraft Heinz, General Mills, Kellogg, and similar businesses.

Conagra Brands has a substantial footprint in the frozen and refrigerated food segment, offering an extensive selection of products designed for convenience. The lineup includes frozen single-serve and family-sized entrees, such as Healthy Choice's low-calorie meals and Marie Callender's homestyle dishes. The company offers plant-based items with Gardein, offering meat-free burgers, sausages, and meatless nuggets.

Beyond the frozen and refrigerated aisles, Conagra Brands' portfolio spans a wide range of pantry staples and snacks. They offer well-known snack options, including Slim Jim meat sticks and Orville Redenbacher's gourmet popping corn, satisfying a variety of snacking occasions. In the condiment space, Conagra produces Hunt's tomato ketchup and barbecue sauces, as well as PAM cooking sprays for baking and grilling. The shelf-stable pantry items feature an array of choices from Rosarita refried beans to Chef Boyardee canned pasta, serving as quick meal or side dish. This, as well as the names in the previous paragraph, is just a snapshot of some of the products that Conagra offers through its subsidiaries.
