Cal-Maine Foods is still assessing the losses it faces due to Hurricane Helene, but at least for now, Cal-Maine President and CEO Sherman Miller does not believe those losses are “likely to be material.”
Miller remarked about the storm in a press release in which the company announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. A separate article concerning those results will appear on WATTPoultry.com.
Miller acknowledged that Helene “made landfall in the southeastern United States,” including areas where Cal-Maine Foods has operations and contract farmers.
“We are still evaluating the impact of the storm on our people, birds, facilities and operations; however, at this time, we believe that all of our employees and contractors are safe and that any loss of company-owned production assets is minimal and not likely to be material,” said Miller.
“We are extremely proud of our operating teams in the affected areas as they executed our contingency plans for these severe weather events. As always, our top priority is the safety of our employees and the welfare of the birds under our care. We continue to do all we can to serve our valued customers and expect any service disruption to be minimal. We are deeply saddened by the destruction in the affected communities and are grateful for the heroic work of first responders who are dealing with the aftermath of the storm as conditions allow.”
