Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure	Divestitures On August 26, 2024, we sold our Pop Secret popcorn business for $70 million. We recognized a pre-tax loss on the sale of $25 million, or $19 million after tax. In connection with the sale, we will provide certain transition services to support the business. The business had net sales of $9 million for the six-month period ended January 26, 2025, and $32 million and $61 million for the three- and six-month periods ended January 28, 2024, respectively. Earnings were not material in the periods. The results of the business were reflected within the Snacks reportable segment. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we completed the sale of our noosa yoghurt business on February 24, 2025, for $188 million, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. In connection with the sale, we will provide certain transition services to support the business. The noosa yoghurt business was purchased as part of the Sovos Brands acquisition. In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded $15 million of deferred tax expense related to the sale of the business. Net sales of the business were $39 million and $83 million for the three- and six-month periods ended January 26, 2025, respectively, and $68 million from March 12, 2024 through July 28, 2024.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring disclosure of the key terms of these programs and a related rollforward of these obligations to understand the effect on working capital, liquidity and cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods in those fiscal years, except for the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted the guidance in the fourth quarter of 2023, with the exception of the annual rollforward requirement, which we will adopt in our 2025 annual reporting. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 18 for additional information. In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the guidance enhances interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contains other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the guidance is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to improve income tax disclosures by requiring disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures by requiring additional details about specific types of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization) included in certain expense captions. The guidance requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, on an annual basis, disclosure of the definition of selling expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]
Acquisition	Acquisition On August 7, 2023, we entered into a merger agreement to acquire Sovos Brands, Inc. (Sovos Brands) for $23.00 per share. On March 12, 2024, we completed the acquisition. Sovos Brands' portfolio includes a variety of pasta sauces, dry pasta, soups, frozen entrées, frozen pizza and yogurts, all of which are sold in North America under the brand names Rao’s, Michael Angelo’s and noosa . See Note 4 for additional information on the noosa yoghurt business. Total purchase consideration was $2.899 billion, which was determined as follows: (Millions) Cash consideration paid to Sovos Brands shareholders (1) $ 2,307 Cash paid for share-based awards (2) 32 Cash consideration paid directly to shareholders $ 2,339 Cash paid for transaction costs of Sovos Brands 32 Repayment of Sovos Brands existing indebtedness and accrued interest 486 Total cash consideration $ 2,857 Fair value of replacement share-based awards (3) 42 Total consideration $ 2,899 ___________________________________________ (1) Consideration paid to Sovos Brands shareholders which reflects $23.00 per share. (2) Represents cash paid to equity award holders of Sovos Brands restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards attributable to pre-combination service. This excludes $3 million of cash paid that was recognized as expense. (3) We issued replacement equity awards in settlement of certain Sovos Brands equity awards that did not become vested in connection with the acquisition. The portion of fair value of the replacement awards attributable to pre-combination service was $42 million and is included in the purchase consideration. We recognized $26 million of expense related to accelerated vesting of certain replacement awards in the third quarter of 2024. The cash portion of the acquisition was funded through a 2024 Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement of $2 billion and cash on hand. The table below presents the fair value that was allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities: (Millions) Estimated Fair Value Cash $ 240 Accounts receivable 96 Inventories 130 Other current assets 5 Plant assets 100 Other intangible assets 1,776 Other assets 16 Total assets acquired $ 2,363 Accounts payable $ 96 Accrued liabilities 56 Accrued income taxes 1 Long-term debt 9 Deferred taxes 407 Other liabilities 11 Total liabilities assumed $ 580 Net assets acquired $ 1,783 Goodwill 1,116 Total consideration $ 2,899 The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of identifiable net assets was recorded as $1.116 billion of goodwill. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was primarily attributable to future growth opportunities, anticipated synergies, and intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is included in the Meals & Beverages segment. The identifiable intangible assets of Sovos Brands consist of: (Millions) Type Life in Years Value Trademarks Non-amortizable Indefinite $ 1,470 Trademarks (1) Amortizable 20 76 Customer relationships (2) Amortizable 20 to 30 230 Total identifiable intangible assets $ 1,776 _____________________________________ (1) Includes $74 million related to the noosa yoghurt business. (2) Includes $18 million related to the noosa yoghurt business. Excluding the assets of the noosa yoghurt business held for sale, as of January 26, 2025, the weighted-average remaining useful life of amortizable intangible assets was 29 years. We incurred $10 million and $19 million of costs associated with the acquisition in the three- and six-month periods ended January 28, 2024. For the three- and six-month periods ended January 26, 2025, the Sovos Brands acquisition contributed $313 million and $623 million to Net sales and a loss of $9 million and $12 million to Net earnings, respectively, including the effect of integration costs and interest expense on the debt to finance the acquisition. The following unaudited summary information is presented on a consolidated pro forma basis as if the Sovos Brands acquisition had occurred on August 1, 2022: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (Millions) January 28, 2024 January 28, 2024 Net sales $ 2,760 $ 5,551 Net earnings attributable to The Campbell's Company $ 196 $ 411

(2) The carrying amount as of July 28, 2024 included the $28 million Pop Secret trademark, which was divested with the sale of the business in 2025. See Note 4 for additional information. (3) Includes the Late July and Allied brands trademarks. Amortization expense was $39 million for the six-month period ended January 26, 2025, and $34 million for the six-month period ended January 28, 2024. Amortization expense for both the six-month periods ended January 26, 2025 and January 28, 2024 included $14 million of accelerated amortization expense on customer relationships, which began in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the loss of certain contract manufacturing customers. As of January 26, 2025, amortizable intangible assets had a weighted-average remaining useful life of 19 years. Amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $70 million in 2025 and $40 million per year for the following four years. During the second quarter of 2025, we performed an interim impairment assessment on certain salty snacks and cookie trademarks within our Snacks segment, including Tom’s , Jays , Kruncher’s , O-Ke-Doke , Stella D’oro and Archway , collectively referred to as our "Allied brands." In 2025, sales performance was below expectations. In the second quarter of 2025, based on recent performance, we lowered our long-term outlook and recognized an impairment charge of $ 15 million During the second quarter of 2025, we performed an interim impairment assessment on the Late July trademark within our Snacks segment. In 2025, sales performance was below expectations. In the second quarter of 2025, based on recent performance, we lowered our long-term outlook and recognized an impairment charge of $ 11 million Late July trademark was $47 million. The impairment charges were recorded in Other expenses / (income) in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The $1.47 billion carrying value of the Rao's trademark associated with the Sovos Brands acquisition approximates fair value. Excluding the carrying value of the Rao's trademark, based on the 2024 annual impairment testing and interim assessments described above, indefinite-lived trademarks with approximately 10% or less of excess coverage of fair value over carrying value had an aggregate carrying value of $1.267 billion as of January 26, 2025, and included the Snyder's of Hanover , Pace , Pacific Foods, Late July and Allied brands trademarks. The estimates of future cash flows used in determining the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets involve significant management judgment and are based upon assumptio

We evaluate segment performance before interest, taxes and costs associated with restructuring activities, cost savings and optimization initiatives, impairment charges and corporate expenses. Unrealized gains and losses on outstanding undesignated commodity hedging activities are excluded from segment operating earnings and are recorded in Corporate as these open positions represent hedges of future purchases. Upon closing of the contracts, the realized gain or loss is transferred to segment operating earnings, which allows the segments to reflect the economic effects of the hedge without exposure to quarterly volatility of unrealized gains and losses. Only the service cost component of pension and postretirement expense is allocated to segments. All other components of expense, including interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service credits and recognized actuarial gains and losses are reflected in Corporate and not included in segment operating results. Asset information by segment is not discretely maintained for internal reporting or used in evaluating performance.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	Restructuring Charges, Cost Savings Initiatives and Other Optimization Initiatives Multi-year Cost Savings Initiatives and Snyder's-Lance, Inc. (Snyder's-Lance) Cost Transformation Program and Integration Continuing Operations Beginning in 2015, we implemented initiatives to reduce costs and to streamline our organizational structure. Over the years, we expanded these initiatives by continuing to optimize our supply chain and manufacturing networks, as well as our information technology infrastructure. On March 26, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Snyder's-Lance. Prior to the acquisition, Snyder's-Lance launched a cost transformation program following a comprehensive review of its operations with the goal of significantly improving its financial performance. We continued to implement this program and identified opportunities for additional cost synergies as we integrated Snyder's-Lance. In 2022, we expanded these initiatives as we continued to pursue cost savings by further optimizing our supply chain and manufacturing network and through effective cost management. In the second quarter of 2023, we announced plans to consolidate our Snacks offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Norwalk, Connecticut, into our headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. A summary of the pre-tax charges recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to these initiatives is as follows: January 28, 2024 (Millions) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Total Program Restructuring charges $ 2 $ 4 $ 297 Administrative expenses 29 34 437 Cost of products sold 3 6 128 Marketing and selling expenses 1 3 23 Research and development expenses 1 2 10 Total pre-tax charges $ 36 $ 49 $ 895 A summary of the pre-tax costs associated with the initiatives is as follows: (Millions) Total Program Severance pay and benefits $ 253 Asset impairment/accelerated depreciation 134 Implementation costs and other related costs 508 Total $ 895 Of the aggregate $895 million pre-tax costs incurred, approximately $720 million were cash expenditures. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges, implementation costs and other related costs because we evaluate segment performance excluding such charges. A summary of the pre-tax costs associated with segments is as follows: (Millions) Total Program Meals & Beverages $ 288 Snacks 383 Corporate 224 Total $ 895 As of July 28, 2024, we substantially completed the multi-year cost savings initiatives and Snyder's-Lance cost transformation program and integration. Certain phases that had not been fully implemented were incorporated into the 2025 cost savings initiatives described below. Sovos Brands Integration Initiatives On March 12, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Sovos Brands. See Note 3 for additional information. We identified opportunities for cost synergies as we integrate Sovos Brands. In 2024, we recorded Restructuring charges of $21 million for severance pay and benefits related to initiatives to achieve the synergies. The charges incurred in 2024 were associated with the Meals & Beverages segment. In 2025, the initiatives to achieve synergies were incorporated into the cost savings initiatives described below. 2025 Cost Savings Initiatives On September 10, 2024, we announced plans to implement cost savings initiatives beginning in 2025, including initiatives to further optimize our supply chain and manufacturing network, optimization of our information technology infrastructure and targeted cost management. We also identified additional opportunities for cost synergies as we integrate Sovos Brands. As mentioned above, we substantially completed our previous multi-year cost savings initiatives and Snyder's-Lance cost transformation program and integration. Certain initiatives from that program have been incorporated into our 2025 cost savings initiatives. Cost estimates for the 2025 initiatives, as well as timing for certain activities, are continuing to be developed. A summary of the pre-tax charges recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings related to these initiatives is as follows: January 26, 2025 (Millions) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Restructuring charges $ 5 $ 11 Administrative expenses 8 19 Cost of products sold 10 18 Marketing and selling expenses 1 2 Research and development expenses 1 2 Total pre-tax charges $ 25 $ 52 A summary of the pre-tax costs associated with the initiatives is as follows: (Millions) Recognized as of January 26, 2025 Severance pay and benefits $ 11 Asset impairment/accelerated depreciation 17 Implementation costs and other related costs 24 Total $ 52 The total estimated pre-tax costs for actions that have been identified to date are approximately $190 million and we expect to incur substantially all of the costs through 2028. These estimates will be updated as the detailed plans are developed. We expect the costs for the actions that have been identified to date to consist of the following: approximately $20 million in severance pay and benefits; approximately $50 million in asset impairment and accelerated depreciation; and approximately $120 million in implementation costs and other related costs. We expect these pre-tax costs to be associated with our segments as follows: Meals & Beverages - approximately 72%; Snacks - approximately 9% and Corporate - approximately 19%. Of the aggregate $190 million of pre-tax costs identified to date, we expect approximately $135 million will be cash expenditures. In addition, we expect to invest approximately $215 million in capital expenditures, of which we invested $57 million as of January 26, 2025. The capital expenditures primarily relate to optimization of production within our manufacturing network, implementation of our existing SAP enterprise-resource planning system for Sovos Brands and optimization of information technology infrastructure and applications.

Pursuant to this initiative we will purchase certain Pepperidge Farm and Snyder's-Lance routes where there are opportunities to unlock greater scale in select markets, combine them and sell the combined routes to independent contractor distributors. We expect to execute this program in a staggered rollout and to incur expenses of up to approximately $115 million through 2029. In the six-month period ended January 26, 2025, we incurred $8 million in Marketing and selling expenses related to this initiative. As of January 26, 2025, we have incurred $13 million in Marketing and selling expenses related to this initiative.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt	Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt In August 2023, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registered an indeterminate amount of debt securities. Under the registration statement we may issue debt securities from time to time, depending on market conditions. On October 2, 2024, pursuant to the registration statement, we completed the issuance of senior unsecured notes of $1.15 billion, consisting of: • $800 million aggregate principal amount of notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum, due March 23, 2035, with interest payable semi-annually on each of March 23 and September 23 commencing March 23, 2025; and • $350 million aggregate principal amount of notes bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum, due October 13, 2054, with interest payable semi-annually on each of April 13 and October 13 commencing April 13, 2025. The notes contain customary covenants and events of default. If a change of control triggering event occurs, we will be required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. I n October 2024, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes to repay $200 million of the $400 million outstanding under our 2022 Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the 2022 DDTL Credit Agreement) due November 15, 2025 and a portion of our outstanding commercial paper. In November 2024, we repaid the remaining $200 million outstanding under the 2022 DDTL Credit Agreement. We have $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes maturing in March 2025, which we intend to repay by using a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the notes along with cash on hand and issuing commercial paper.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments	6 Months Ended

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments The principal market risks to which we are exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. In addition, we are exposed to price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. In order to manage these exposures, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative contracts such as swaps, rate locks, options, forwards and commodity futures. We enter into these derivative contracts for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures, and the contracts do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and do not use leveraged instruments. Our derivative programs include instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges. Concentration of Credit Risk We are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, we enter into contracts only with carefully selected, leading, credit-worthy financial institutions, and distribute contracts among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. We did not have credit risk-related contingent features in our derivative instruments as of January 26, 2025, or July 28, 2024. We are also exposed to credit risk from our customers. During 2024, our largest customer accounted for approximately 22% of our consolidated net sales. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 47% of our consolidated net sales in 2024. We closely monitor credit risk associated with counterpartie s and customers. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, primarily the Canadian dollar and Euro, related to intercompany transactions and third-party transactions. We utilize foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts and option contracts to hedge these exposures. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. We hedge portions of our forecasted foreign currency transaction exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts for periods typically up to 18 months. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $113 million as of January 26, 2025, and $108 million as of July 28, 2024. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the initial fair value of hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in earnings under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and is presented in the same statement of earnings line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and the amounts recognized in earnings is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and option contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $404 million as of January 26, 2025, and $189 million as of July 28, 2024. Interest Rate Risk We manage our exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizin g the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt. From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps in order to maintain our variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines. We manage our exposure to interest volatility on future debt issuances by entering into forward starting interest rate swaps or treasury lock contracts to hedge the rate on the interest payments related to the anticipated debt issuance. The forward starting interest rate swaps or treasury lock contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and reclassified into Interest expense over the life of the debt issued. The change in fair value on undesignated instruments is recorded in Interest expense. In conjunction with the issuance of senior unsecured notes on October 2, 2024, due on March 23, 2035, we settled forward starting interest rate swaps with a notional value of $700 million at a gain of less than $1 million. The gain on these instruments was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and will be recognized in Interest expense over the life of the debt. There were no forward starting interest rate swaps or treasury lock contracts outstanding as of January 26, 2025 and July 28, 2024. Commodity Price Risk We principally use a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. We also enter into commodity futures, options and swap contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of wheat, diesel fuel, soybean oil, natural gas, cocoa, aluminum, corn and soybean meal. Commodity futures, options and swap contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. We hedge a portion of commodity requirements for periods typically up to 18 months. There were no commodity contracts designated as cash-flow hedges as of January 26, 2025, or July 28, 2024. The notional amount of commodity contracts not designated as accounting hedges was $133 million as of January 26, 2025, and $200 million as of July 28, 2024. The change in fair value on undesignated instruments is recorded in Cost of products sold. We have a supply contract under which prices for certain raw materials are established based on anticipated volume requirements over a twelve-month period. Certain prices under the contract are based in part on certain component parts of the raw materials that are in excess of our needs or not required for our operations, thereby creating an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. We net settle amounts due under the contract with our counterparty. The notional amount was $90 million as of January 26, 2025, and $48 million as of July 28, 2024. The change in fair value on the embedded derivative is recorded in Cost of products sold. Deferred Compensation Obligation Price Risk We enter into swap contracts which hedge a portion of exposures relating to the total return of certain deferred compensation obligations. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Unrealized gains (losses) and settlements are included in Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We enter into these contracts for periods typically not exceeding 12 months. The notional amounts of the contracts were $80 million as of January 26, 2025, and $71 million as of July 28, 2024.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements We categorize financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy: • Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs, which are valued based on our estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. When available, we use unadjusted quoted market prices to measure the fair value and classify such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, we base fair value upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Included in the fair value of derivative instruments is an adjustment for credit and nonperformance risk. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables present our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 26, 2025, and July 28, 2024, consistent with the fair value hierarchy: Fair Value as of January 26, 2025 Fair Value Measurements at January 26, 2025 Using Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value as of July 28, 2024 Fair Value Measurements at July 28, 2024 Using Fair Value Hierarchy (Millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Foreign exchange contracts (1) $ 3 $ — $ 3 $ — $ 2 $ — $ 2 $ — Commodity derivative contracts (2) 12 1 8 3 6 — 1 5 Deferred compensation derivative contracts (3) 4 — 4 — 3 — 3 — Deferred compensation investments (4) 1 1 — — 1 1 — — Total assets at fair value $ 20 $ 2 $ 15 $ 3 $ 12 $ 1 $ 6 $ 5 Fair Value as of January 26, 2025 Fair Value Measurements at January 26, 2025 Using Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value as of July 28, 2024 Fair Value Measurements at July 28, 2024 Using Fair Value Hierarchy (Millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities Foreign exchange contracts (1) $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Commodity derivative contracts (2) 5 — 4 1 16 1 15 — Deferred compensation obligation (4) 110 110 — — 101 101 — — Total liabilities at fair value $ 116 $ 110 $ 5 $ 1 $ 117 $ 102 $ 15 $ — ___________________________________ (1) Based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates. (2) Level 1 and 2 are based on quoted futures exchanges and on observable prices of futures and options transactions in the marketplace. Level 3 is based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires management’s own assumptions within an internally developed model. (3) Based on equity index swap rates. (4) Based on the fair value of the participants’ investments. The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities: Six Months Ended (Millions) January 26, 2025 January 28, 2024 Fair value at beginning of year $ 5 $ 2 Gains (losses) 2 12 Settlements (5) (5) Fair value at end of quarter $ 2 $ 9 Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we are also required to measure certain items at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. In the second quarter of 2025, we performed interim impairment assessments on certain trademarks in our Snacks segment. See also Note 6 for additional information on the impairment charges. Fair value was determined based on unobservable Level 3 inputs. The fair value of trademarks was determined based on discounted cash flow analysis that involves significant management assumptions such as expected revenue growth rates, assumed royalty rates and weighted-average costs of capital. The following table presents fair value measurements of the trademarks: December 2025 (Millions) Impairment Charges Fair Value Allied brands $ 15 $ 28 Late July $ 11 $ 47 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. There were cash equivalents of $170 million at January 26, 2025 and $25 million at July 28, 2024. Cash equivalents represent fair value as these highly liquid investments have an original maturity of three months or less. Fair value of cash equivalents is based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of short- and long-term debt was $7.291 billion at January 26, 2025, and $6.866 billion at July 28, 2024. The carrying value was $7.675 billion at January 26, 2025, and $7.184 billion at July 28, 2024. The fair value of long-term debt is principally estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates.

Equity [Abstract]
Share Repurchases	Share Repurchases In September 2021, the Board approved a strategic share repurchase program of up to $500 million (September 2021 program). The September 2021 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the September 2021 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. In September 2024, the Board authorized an anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million (September 2024 program) to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under our stock compensation programs. The September 2024 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the September 2024 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. The September 2024 program replaced an anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million that was approved by the Board in June 2021 and has been terminated. During the six-month periods ended January 26, 2025 and January 28, 2024, we repurchased 1.134 million shares at a cost of $56 million and 707 thousand shares at a cost of $29 million, respectively, pursuant to our anti-dilutive share repurchase programs. As of January 26, 2025, approximately $205 million remained available under the September 2024 program and approximately $301 million remained available under the September 2021 program.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation	6 Months Ended

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation We provide compensation benefits by issuing stock options, unrestricted stock and restricted stock units (including time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, total shareholder return (TSR) performance restricted stock units and free cash flow (FCF) performance restricted stock units). In 2025, we issued time-lapse restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, TSR performance restricted stock units and EPS performance restricted stock units. We last issued stock options and FCF performance restricted stock units in 2019. In connection with the Sovos Brands acquisition, in the third quarter of 2024, we issued 1.721 million time-lapse restricted stock units (Replacement units) in exchange for certain Sovos Brands restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units. The Replacement units are subject to the same terms and conditions of the original Sovos Brands restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units. Certain Replacement units were subject to accelerated vesting. The Replacement units had a total fair value of $74 million based on the quoted price of our stock on the acquisition date. The portion of Replacement units attributed to pre-combination service was $42 million, which was accounted for as part of consideration transferred and was recorded in Additional Paid-in Capital in our Consolidated Statements of Equity in the third quarter of 2024. See Note 3 for additional information. The portion of the Replacement units attributable to post-combination service will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the remaining vesting period. In determining stock-based compensation expense, we estimate forfeitures expected to occur. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense and tax-related benefits recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (Millions) January 26, 2025 January 28, 2024 January 26, 2025 January 28, 2024 Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense $ 17 $ 19 $ 36 $ 36 Tax-related benefits $ 4 $ 4 $ 10 $ 6 The following table summarizes stock option activity: Options Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate (In thousands) (In years) (Millions) Outstanding at July 28, 2024 779 $ 45.33 Granted — $ — Exercised — $ — Terminated — $ — Outstanding at January 26, 2025 779 $ 45.33 2.7 $ 1 Exercisable at January 26, 2025 779 $ 45.33 2.7 $ 1 No options were exercised during the six-month period ended January 28, 2024. We measured the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We expensed stock options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement eligible participants, which we expensed on an accelerated basis. As of January 2022, compensation related to stock options was fully expensed. The following table summarizes time-lapse restricted stock units and EPS performance restricted stock units activity: Units Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value (In thousands) Nonvested at July 28, 2024 3,300 $ 43.24 Granted 1,372 $ 48.34 Vested (1,284) $ 42.89 Forfeited (88) $ 44.12 Nonvested at January 26, 2025 3,300 $ 45.47 We determine the fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units based on the quoted price of our stock at the date of grant. We expense time-lapse restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants and certain Replacement units, which we expense on an accelerated basis. Since 2022, we have granted EPS performance restricted stock units that will be earned upon the achievement of our adjusted EPS compound annual growth rate goal, measured over a three-year period. The actual number of EPS performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date could range from 0% to 200% of the initial grant depending on actual performance achieved. The fair value of EPS performance restricted stock units is based upon the quoted price of our stock at the date of grant. We expense EPS performance restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. We estimate expense based on the number of awards expected to vest. In the first quarter of 2025, recipients of EPS performance restricted stock units earned 100% of the initial grants based upon actual performance achieved during a three-year period ended July 28, 2024. There were 934 thousand EPS performance target grants outstanding at January 26, 2025, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $45.51. In connection with the divestiture of our Pop Secret popcorn business, in the first quarter of 2025, our adjusted EPS compound annual growth rate goals for the EPS performance restricted stock units granted in 2024 and 2023 were revised to equitably adjust for the impact of the completed divestiture that was not contemplated at the time of approval of the original targets. As of January 26, 2025, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock units and EPS performance restricted stock units was $74 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.9 years. The fair value of restricted stock units vested during the six-month periods ended January 26, 2025, and January 28, 2024, was $63 million and $31 million, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during the six-month period ended January 28, 2024 was $41.08. The following table summarizes TSR performance restricted stock units activity: Units Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value (In thousands) Nonvested at July 28, 2024 873 $ 47.40 Granted 549 $ 47.33 Vested (464) $ 45.52 Forfeited (24) $ 47.55 Nonvested at January 26, 2025 934 $ 48.29 We estimated the fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation were as follows: 2025 2024 Risk-free interest rate 3.52% 4.84% Expected dividend yield 3.01% 3.54% Expected volatility 22.46% 22.16% Expected term 3 years 3 years We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, except for awards issued to retirement eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. As of January 26, 2025, total remaining unearned compensation related to TSR performance restricted stock units was $16 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.9 years. In the first quarter of 2025, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 175% of the initial grants based upon our TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 26, 2024. As a result, approximately 199 thousand additional shares were awarded. In the first quarter of 2024, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 75% of the initial grants based upon our TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 28, 2023. The fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units vested during the six-month periods ended January 26, 2025, and January 28, 2024, was $23 million and $12 million, respectively. The grant-date fair value of the TSR performance restricted stock units granted during the six-month period ended January 28, 2024, was $44.18.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Regulatory and Litigation Matters We are involved in various pending or threatened legal or regulatory proceedings, including purported class actions, arising from the conduct of business both in the ordinary course and otherwise. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the trial court. In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters. This variability in pleadings, together with our actual experiences in litigating or resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, demonstrates to us that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value. Due to the unpredictable nature of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time is normally difficult to ascertain. Uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion practice, or at trial or on appeal. Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will themselves view the relevant evidence and applicable law. On March 20, 2024, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and National Education Law Center, on behalf of Environment America and Lake Erie Waterkeeper, filed lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio – Western Division concerning alleged violations of the Clean Water Act relating to alleged contaminant discharges from our Napoleon, Ohio wastewater treatment facility in excess of the facility’s Clean Water Act permit limits. We have and are continuing to take actions to remediate the exceedances and are in settlement discussions with the DOJ and the private environmental groups. While we cannot predict with certainty the amount of any civil penalty or the timing of the resolution of this matter, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We establish liabilities for litigation and regulatory loss contingencies when information related to the loss contingencies shows both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that some matters could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish accruals in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated as of January 26, 2025. While the potential future charges could be material in a particular quarter or annual period, based on information currently known by us, we do not believe any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Other Contingencies We have provided certain indemnifications in connection with divestitures, contracts and other transactions. Certain indemnifications have finite expiration dates. Liabilities recognized based on known exposures related to such matters were not material at January 26, 2025.
