Fonterra FY26 Results: $9.69 Milk Price, $3.4bn Profit
Fonterra has unveiled its annual results for the 2026 financial year, posting $27 billion in revenue and close to $20 billion returned to New Zealand farmer owners and unit holders.
Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings says Jonathan Mason had always indicated Fonterra would be his last full time role.
"Jonathan joined Fonterra in the midst of the global financial crisis in 2009 and, under his leadership, ensured the cooperative's financial position was strengthened through those difficult times," says Spierings.
"Jonathan has also played a leading role in the launch of Trading Among Farmers, which has significantly improved the cooperative's capital structure.
"Jonathan will leave Fonterra in a much stronger position and we are grateful to him for this contribution."
Spierings says Mason has agreed to support the cooperative through to the end of the financial year while Fonterra identified a successor.
