Lamb Weston to showcase new potato innovations at WOFEX 2026. July 17, 2026 Lamb Weston Holdings Inc Lamb Weston, a global leading supplier in frozen potato products, will be showcasing three of its latest potato innovations - Snap Fries, Frenzy Fries and Original Mash Cup at World Food Expo (WOFEX) 2026 at SMX Convention Centre, 1st Floor, Booth #1201, from 29th July to 1st August 2026. Designed for evolving foodservice needs. As airline and foodservice operators across Asia, including the Philippines, seek to differentiate their menus and drive greater efficiency, Lamb Weston unveils innovative solutions that create new consumption moments, reduce back-of-house complexity, and deliver perfectly crispy fries, even at 30,000 feet. Vicky Mukhi, Commercial Director, South East Asia, Lamb Weston: "In today's environment, operators must do more with less - less space, less labour, and less time - while continuing to deliver the comforting favourites consumers expect. Frenzy Fries, with their unique three-sided, skin-on cut style, offer extended hold time and lasting crispness, enabling operators to differentiate their menus while improving operational efficiency." "Together with Snap Fries and Original Mash Cup, these innovations demonstrate that serving high-quality potato favourites no longer requires a traditional deep fryer or a fully equipped kitchen. Instead, operators can rely on smart, versatile solutions that deliver consistent quality anytime, anywhere." Snap Fries. Engineered for space-constrained kitchens from airline galleys to cafés, hot counters, and small business setups without the need for deep fryer, Lamb Weston(R) Snap Fries deliver irresistibly crispy results with ease. Designed for airline ovens, combi ovens, impinger ovens, and air fryers, these pre-portioned monopacks make preparation effortless: simply heat and serve. No deep fryer, no hassle - just consistent, golden perfection every time. The Snap Fries are specially engineered to deliver fries at their crispiest across a wide range of cooking methods. These attributes make Snap Fries an ideal solution for airlines that have historically struggled to serve crispy fries onboard, opening a new revenue and satisfaction driver in the inflight snacking occasion, as well as for foodservice operators seeking fryer-free expansion into delivery, kiosks and satellite locations. Frenzy Fries. Designed to stand out on the plate and on social media with its unique three-sided cut style and skin-on hand-cut appeal, Frenzy Fries holds its crunch longer and maximises plate coverage through a distinctive look and bite. At the heart of Frenzy Fries is its distinctive three-sided, triangular-inspired shape. Lamb Weston(R) Frenzy Fries: A cut above your regular fry This geometry increases surface area for crispiness and greater yield while maintaining a velvety interior, delivering both texture and visual intrigue versus conventional straight-cut fries. Each fry is also coated with Lamb Weston's invisible Stealth(TM) coating, delivering: * Extended holding time and up to 20 minutes of long-lasting crispiness. * Strong performance from deep fryers (3 minutes at 175°C/350°F) or ovens (15-20 minutes at 200°C). Original Mash Cup. Rounding out the lineup, Lamb Weston(R) Original Mash delivers classic comfort with modern convenience. This smooth, creamy mashed potato is pre-portioned and simplified for today's fast-paced kitchens. Shelf-stable at ambient temperature with a 12-month shelf life, each cup ensures perfect consistency and is ready in just 10 seconds, simply remove the seal, add 135ml of hot water, and stir. Original Mash: Comforting mash for a smarter business A smart, fryer-free alternative or complement to fries, Original Mash is ideal for: * Expanding menus with a versatile, crowd-pleasing potato side or snack. * Operations with limited kitchen space, equipment, labour, or freezer capacity. * Concepts focused on speed, consistency, and reducing prep time, training, and food waste, without compromising on quality. With toppings, sauces or proteins, Original Mash can be transformed into a high-margin, customisable snack or side, appealing to diners seeking familiar comfort with a modern twist. Supporting foodservice growth in Southeast Asia. Lamb Weston's presence at WOFEX 2026 underscores its long-term commitment to supporting foodservice growth in the Philippines and the wider Southeast Asia region with innovations that marry consumer appeal with operational practicality. Major quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and foodservice operators will be able to sample Snap Fries, Frenzy Fries and Original Mash Cup at this show.

Lamb Weston delivered its fifth consecutive quarter of in-line or better results, led by strong North American performance where volume grew 12% and net sales increased 5%. The frozen potato producer has tightened its fiscal 2026 guidance range with a higher midpoint for net sales and EBITDA. CEO Mike Smith credited customer wins, market share gains and improved operational execution despite soft restaurant traffic. Overall quick-service restaurant traffic rose just 1% in the quarter. The International business faced challenges from European potato surplus, local sourcing in developing markets and weak restaurant traffic. In response, Lamb Weston announced closure of its Monroe, Argentina plant, temporarily curtailed a Netherlands production line and will not resume production at one Australian facility.
Lamb Weston reported quarterly earnings of $0.72 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.61 per share by 18.42%. This compares to earnings of $1.10 per share a year ago. The company has now surpassed consensus earnings estimates for four consecutive quarters. The frozen foods supplier posted revenues of $1.56 billion for the quarter ended February 2026, exceeding estimates by 5.40% and topping year-ago revenues of $1.52 billion. Lamb Weston has beaten consensus revenue estimates four times over the past four quarters. Shares have gained 0.9% year-to-date, outperforming the S&P 500's 4.6% decline. The company currently holds a Zacks Rank of Hold, suggesting shares are expected to perform in line with the market near-term.
Lamb Weston reported mixed third-quarter results with volume rising 7% but margins under pressure. North American volume surged 12%, whilst constant-currency price/mix fell 7%. Adjusted EBITDA declined $101 million to $272 million, impacted by unfavourable mix, a $33 million international raw-potato write-off and underutilised European and Latin American capacity. The company raised its fiscal 2026 guidance, projecting net sales of $6.45–6.55 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $1.08–1.14 billion. Management is implementing a $250 million cost-savings programme and restructuring its production footprint through plant closures to address European oversupply. Year-to-date cash from operations reached $596 million with free cash flow of $339 million. The company returned $205 million to shareholders and approved a $0.38 quarterly dividend.
Lamb Weston, a potato products company, will report quarterly earnings tomorrow before the market opens. Analysts expect revenue to decline 2.2% year on year, reversing the 4.3% increase recorded in the same quarter last year. Last quarter, Lamb Weston beat revenue expectations with $1.62 billion, up 1.1% year on year. However, the company has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates multiple times over the past two years. Analysts have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days. The consumer staples sector has underperformed recently, with share prices down 9.7% on average over the last month. Lamb Weston has fallen 12.2% during the same period. Analysts have set an average price target of $52, compared to the current share price of $41.06.
