Importantly, our operating results translated to strong
operating cash flow, enabling us to finish major capital
projects and buy back nearly 11% of Post through
aggressive share repurchases. Rounding out fiscal
2025 capital allocation, we completed two tactical
acquisitions at attractive synergized valuations. In
March, we added to our potato side dish capacity

More significantly, in July we reacquired the 8th
Avenue business we had separately capitalized in
2018. This will allow us to integrate their nut butter
business into Post Consumer Brands. With our 2021
acquisition of Peter Pan, nut butters have become a
more important category for us. Meanwhile, pasta has
become less strategic. To that end, after the close of
the fiscal year we completed the sale of that business.
The net impact of our free cash flow(1) and capital
allocation left us with net leverage of 4.4x(6) exiting
the fiscal year, flat with our leverage at the beginning
of the fiscal year.
