Central Garden (CENT) Q3 EPS Jumps 18%

Central Garden & Pet (NASDAQ:CENT), a leading supplier of pet supplies and garden products, released its fiscal third quarter 2025 earnings on August 6, 2025. Despite reporting GAAP net sales of $961 million—falling 3.1% below analyst expectations—the company delivered strong profit growth, with non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.56 beating the consensus estimate of $1.43. Margin improvement stood out as the core highlight, offsetting lower top-line results. The quarter saw continued bottom-line gains from operational efficiency, but GAAP net sales in both major segments declined year over year, signaling demand headwinds. Overall, the results reflect a mixed performance: profit improvement was robust, yet ongoing revenue pressure remains an area of concern.
