The bakery and snacking categories have a strong hold on today’s consumer, and that hold is demonstrated by the strength of Hostess Brands and its popular portfolio. Hostess recently pulled back the curtain on its financial results for the second quarter of 2022. As revealed in the report, the company’s net revenue for the quarter reached $340.5 million, a $49 million increase from the $291.5 million reported last year.

Andy Callahan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hostess Brands“Hostess Brands’ iconic brands, access to faster growing snacking occasions, broad-based distribution footprint, and excellent execution continues to drive growth in a volatile environment,” commented Andy Callahan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the second quarter, our top-line momentum continued as we posted the 10th straight quarter of double-digit growth. I am proud of our team’s timely actions to address the ongoing supply-chain fragility and higher inflation which pressured our margins in the quarter.”
