Brown-Forman Corporation, the Louisville, Kentucky-based American-owned premium-plus spirits company that owns the Jack Daniel's family of brands, Old Forester, Woodford Reserve, and a portfolio of more than 40 spirit and ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail brands distributed in over 170 countries, closed fiscal 2026 on April 30, 2026 with reported net sales of $3,928 million, down 1 percent from $3,975 million in fiscal 2025 on a reported basis and flat on an organic basis. Reported operating income of $1,001 million was down 10 percent from $1,107 million, and reported diluted earnings per share of $1.53 was down 17 percent from $1.84, with the operating margin compression of 2.4 percentage points to 25.5 percent and the effective tax rate steady at 19.3 percent. The equity narrative centers on the meaningful divestiture activity in fiscal 2024 (Finlandia vodka, Sonoma-Cutrer wine, the Alabama cooperage, the Duckhorn investment exit) and the meaningful cost-rationalization that the company completed in fiscal 2025, alongside the meaningful pressure on the United States business where reported net sales declined 7 percent and the meaningful strength in Mexico where reported net sales grew 20 percent and the broader emerging markets where reported net sales grew 14 percent. The disclosure cadence that the next twelve months resolve is, in order of importance, the United States tariff and consumer environment trajectory, the international expansion cadence and the Mexico growth trajectory, the Jack Daniel's family of brands and the Old Forester premium portfolio trajectory, the broader operating margin recovery trajectory, and the broader tariff and trade policy trajectory.
