| • | | Net sales increased 10% to $2,190 million driven by the first quarter acquisition of Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc. (“Natural Balance”) and new product launches across the portfolio. |
| • | | Operating income increased 9% to $255 million. |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA2 increased 8% to $450 million. |
| • | | The Company is making strategic progress toward long-term growth plans with the acquisition of Natural Balance and the February divestiture of the Consumer Products business. |
For the fourth quarter:
| • | | Net sales increased 15% to $581 million driven by Natural Balance and new product launches across the portfolio. |
| • | | Operating income decreased 59% to $34 million driven by significant investments to support and promote new product launches. |
1 | Excludes the results of the Consumer Products business, which are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. |
2 | Reflects “EBITDA” and “Consolidated EBITDA” as calculated pursuant to the Company’s 7.625% Notes Indenture and credit agreements, respectively. Please refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures located at the end of this press release. |

| • | | Adjusted EBITDA decreased 17% to $97 million driven by the significant investments noted above, partially offset by the favorable year-over-year impact of cash hedging positions. |
“We remain focused on growing our great brands despite a challenging promotional environment in mainstream food,” said Dave West, President and CEO of Big Heart Pet Brands. “We continue to focus on supporting and promoting our new item launches which will set them up for future success. We are pleased with the recently acquiredNatural Balance brand and will continue to invest in the brand. Expect the heightened level of brand building and trade spending to continue into the early part of fiscal 2015.”
Background on the Presentation of Results
On February 18, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the Consumer Products business (the “Consumer Business”) to Del Monte Pacific Limited. Accordingly, the Consumer Business is reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, discontinued operations only include expenses directly attributable to the discontinued operation. Consequently, certain expenses that have historically been allocated to the Consumer Business are not included in discontinued operations.
As a result of the sale, a related transition services agreement and the use of the sale proceeds to pay down debt, historical results for continuing operations are not indicative of future performance.
Results for the Fiscal Year Ended April 27, 2014
Net sales increased 10.1% to $2,190.1 million driven by the first quarter acquisition of Natural Balance. Also contributing to the year-over-year growth were new product launches, primarily in the last quarter of the year. New products released during the year includeMilk-Bone Brushing Chews, the relaunch of theMilo’s Kitchen brand,Nature’s Recipe Pure Essentials,Meow Mix Tender Centers with Vitality Bursts andKibbles n’ Bits American Grill. Price/mix3 was also favorable. Partially offsetting the increase was a decline in existing products reflecting the impact of the prior year voluntary recall of certainMilo’s Kitchen products as well as the challenging promotional environment in our mainstream food brands (generally distributed in grocery stores, club stores, and supercenters).

Operating income increased 9.3% to $254.8 million driven by the increase in net sales mentioned above as well as productivity savings. Operating costs, which includes the lapping of prior year expenses associated with the voluntary recall, were also favorable year-over-year. Partially offsetting the increase was higher SG&A expense reflecting the addition of Natural Balance in the current year which includes their dedicated sales force in the pet specialty channel. In addition, marketing investments were higher across the portfolio to support new product launches. Costs associated with the sale of the Consumer Business also negatively impacted operating income.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.6% to $449.8 million. The drivers of the increase were similar to those of operating income mentioned above, except for the costs associated with the voluntary recall. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the expenses associated with the voluntary recall were excluded from prior year pursuant to the Company’s 7.625% Notes Indenture and credit agreements.
Results for the Three Months Ended April 27, 2014
Net sales increased 14.7% to $581.4 million driven by the acquisition of Natural Balance. New product launches across the portfolio also contributed to the year-over-year growth. Partially offsetting the increase was unfavorable price/mix due to increased investments in trade spending to support our mainstream food brands and new product launches across the portfolio.
Operating income decreased 58.5% to $34.4 million. The benefit from the net sales increase was more than offset by higher SG&A expense to support new product launches, including media, print, television, and in-store display. Also increasing SG&A was the addition of Natural Balance in the current year which includes their dedicated sales force in the pet specialty channel.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 16.6% to $96.5 million. The drivers were similar to those of operating income described above. In addition, the benefit from favorable cash hedging positions in the current period coupled with the lapping of the prior year unfavorable impact of cash hedge positions partially offset the decrease. The cash impact of hedge positions is included within Adjusted EBITDA as defined pursuant to the Company’s 7.625% Notes Indenture and credit agreements.

Select Liquidity Data4
In connection with the sale of the Consumer Business, the Company received cash of $1.675 billion as well as a preliminary working capital adjustment of approximately $110 million subject to a true-up in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. The Company used approximately $1.3 billion of after tax net proceeds to repay $881.0 million of the $2,607.4 million Term Loan B and redeemed an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million of the Company’s 7.625% Senior Notes due 2019. In addition, the Company also repriced the Term Loan B and extended its maturity to 2020 as well as refinanced the existing ABL Facility with a new $225.0 million, five year ABL Facility.
At April 27, 2014, total debt was $2,626.4 million compared to prior year end total debt, including discontinued operations, of $3,985.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $112.8 million and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Company’s $225.0 million ABL Facility. During the fiscal year capital expenditures, including discontinued operations, totaled $79.6 million.
Free Cash Flow5 for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2014 was a use of $66.8 million, compared to a source of $225.9 million in the prior year period. The decline was primarily due to the sale of the Consumer Business, comparing partial period results to full year results, as well as the absence of earnings from the segment which historically generated strong free cash flow in the fourth quarter due to its cyclical nature. In addition, working capital was higher driven by increased inventory levels in the Consumer Business. Note the total value of the Consumer
4 | The Company has combined cash flows from discontinued operations with cash flows from continuing operations within the operating, investing and financing categories in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. |
5 | Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest, cash taxes (net of refunds), normal capital expenditures, and plus/less decrease/ increase in working capital (excluding the acquisition cost of Natural Balance and the after tax net proceeds from the sale of the Consumer Business). Please refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures located at the end of this press release. |

Business inventory was included in the final sale price, after a preliminary working capital adjustment, reflected in investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Also negatively impacting Free Cash Flow was higher Pet inventories in preparation for new product launches and higher cash taxes. Partially offsetting the decrease in Free Cash Flow was higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Big Heart Pet Brands reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In this press release and the accompanying webcast, Big Heart Pet Brands is also providing certain non-GAAP financial measures – specifically, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Big Heart Pet Brands presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that this is an important supplemental measure relating to its financial condition since it is used in certain covenant calculations that may be required from time to time under the indenture that governs its 7.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (referred to therein as “EBITDA”) and the credit agreements relating to its Term Loan B Facility and ABL Facility (referred to therein as “Consolidated EBITDA”). EBITDA is defined as income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, further adjusted as required by the definitions of “EBITDA” and “Consolidated EBITDA” contained in the
5
Company’s indenture and credit agreements. Although Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to benchmark our performance period to period, Big Heart Pet Brands’ presentation of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure of liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as it does not take into account debt service requirements, obligations under the monitoring agreement with Big Heart Pet Brands’ Sponsors, capital expenditures or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure.
Big Heart Pet Brands presents Free Cash Flow because it uses such measure internally to benchmark its performance period-to-period and believes this information is also helpful to investors. This presentation of Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool. Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since it does not take into account debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure.
Big Heart Pet Brands uses Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios internally to focus management on year-over-year changes in the Company’s leverage and believes this information is also helpful to investors. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in this leverage measure because it believes its investors are familiar with Adjusted EBITDA and that consistency in presentation of EBITDA-related measures is helpful to investors.
Big Heart Pet Brands presents Adjusted EBITDA Margin because it uses such measure internally to focus management on year-over-year changes in the Company’s business and believes this information is also helpful to investors. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA Margin, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA because it believes its investors are familiar with Adjusted EBITDA and that consistency in the presentation of EBITDA-related measures is helpful to investors.
Big Heart Pet Brands cautions investors that the non-GAAP financial measures presented are intended to supplement its GAAP results and are not a substitute for such results. Additionally, Big Heart Pet Brands cautions investors that the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
