In an October 2020 interview with Yahoo Finance, Conagra Brands COO and Executive Vice President Thomas McGough was referenced in the context of the company's performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. CEO Sean Connolly, who was the primary speaker, stated that the company saw strength across its frozen, snacking, and staples businesses, attributing this to consumers moving more eating occasions into the home. Connolly said the company's innovation slate was its strongest yet, particularly in frozen and snacks, and that trial and repeat rates were high. He noted that while some out-of-stocks were occurring due to sustained elevated demand, the situation was less extreme than the panic stock-up seen in March and April. Connolly also mentioned that inflation had been running at about three percent and that the company would take "inflation-justified pricing" when commodity costs rose, adding that reduced promotional activity contributed to the appearance of price increases.
