Over the five-year period, TreeHouse Foods, Inc. experienced fluctuations across key income statement metrics. Revenue peaked in 2020 at USD 4,349.7 million but gradually declined to USD 3,354 million by 2024, representing a decrease of approximately 23%. Gross profit similarly decreased from USD 802.2 million in 2020 to USD 548.4 million in 2024, despite a slight recovery in 2023 when gross profit briefly increased to USD 576.1 million. Operating income saw considerable variability: a strong performance in 2020 (USD 149.1 million) was followed by a drastic decline in 2021 (down to USD 21.3 million) with a significant year-over-year swing of over 85% decline, turning negative in 2022 at –USD 21.5 million. However, a sharp rebound in 2023 with operating income returning to USD 146.9 million indicates a turnaround in operational performance, though the metric moderated slightly to USD 103.1 million in 2024. Net income reveals a similarly volatile pattern. While the company posted a modest profit in 2020 (USD 13.8 million), a swing to a loss in 2021 (–USD 12.5 million) and a pronounced downturn in 2022 (–USD 146.3 million) signals significant pressure likely tied to margin compression or rising operational costs. The recovery observed in 2023 (USD 53.1 million) and continued modest profit in 2024 (USD 26.9 million) reflects some rebound in profitability. Overall, while the company shows signs of operational recovery, the persistent decline in revenue and gross profit over the period combined with considerable fluctuations in operating and net income suggest that TreeHouse Foods faces ongoing challenges to maintain sustainable growth and stable margins in a competitive food packaging and ingredient industry.
