Entering a New Era

“With the completion of the separation, Kellanova has entered a new era with a new name and a new ambition,” said Steve Cahillane, Kellanova’s Chairman and CEO. “We are starting from a position of strength that is rooted in a century-old legacy as we embark on a journey to achieve our vision of becoming the world’s best performing snacks-led powerhouse.”

With projected 2024 net sales of approximately $13.4-13.6 billion, Kellanova is a global snacks-led powerhouse with a portfolio of iconic, world-class brands, including Pringles, Cheez-It, Pop-Tarts, Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats, MorningStar Farms, Incogmeato, Gardenburger, Nutri-Grain, RXBAR, and Eggo. Kellanova also stewards a suite of beloved international cereal brands, including Kellogg’s, Frosties, Zucaritas, Special K, Krave, Miel Pops, Coco Pops, and Crunchy Nut, among others. While the Company’s corporate name has changed to Kellanova, the Kellogg’s brand will remain on its products around the world.

As a standalone company, Kellanova will benefit from greater operational focus and fit-for-purpose strategy and resource allocation, investing behind its differentiated brands in an effort to deliver consistently strong net sales and earnings growth over time. This growth is expected to be complemented by improved profitability to be achieved through operating leverage, a mix shift toward its most differentiated brands, building scale in emerging markets, and ongoing productivity and revenue growth management.

Kellanova will maintain dual campuses in Battle Creek, Michigan, and Chicago, Illinois, with its corporate headquarters located in Chicago. Kellanova’s three international regions in Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (“AMEA”) will remain at their current headquarters.
