He said Tyson Foods execs excluded any potential financial upside from a resolution of the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak, resolution of the U.S.-China trade dispute, and insurance proceeds that will help to cover the damage from the beef processing plant fire in Kansas.

Losses associated with the plant shutdown resulted in a $31 million related charge in the fourth quarter. Tyson said additional costs would be charged in early 2020.
