SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Consolidation Use of Estimates Cash Equivalents Inventories Property, plant, and equipment Asset Useful Life Buildings and improvements 12-40 years Machinery and equipment 3-15 years Office furniture and equipment 3-12 years We perform impairment tests when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Capitalized leases are amortized over the shorter of their lease term or their estimated useful lives, and amortization expense is included in depreciation expense. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not improve or extend the life of the assets, are expensed as incurred. Intangible and Other Assets Asset Useful Life Customer relationships Straight-line method over 5 to 20 years Trademarks Straight-line method over 10 to 20 years Non-competition agreements Straight-line method over the terms of the agreements Deferred financing costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements Straight-line method over the terms of the arrangements Formulas/recipes Straight-line method over 5 to 7 years Computer software Straight-line method over 2 to 7 years Indefinite lived trademarks are evaluated for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Impairment is indicated when their book value exceeds fair value. If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down to fair value, which is generally based on its discounted future cash flows. Amortizable intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows. Goodwill is evaluated annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances require an interim assessment. We assess goodwill for impairment (as of December 31) at the reporting unit level using market and income approaches, employing significant assumptions regarding growth, discount rates, and profitability at each reporting unit. The market approach uses a market multiple methodology employing revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and applies a range of multiples to those amounts in determining the indicated fair value. In determining the multiples used in this approach, we obtain the multiples for selected peer companies using the most recent publically available information. Our estimates under the income approach are determined based on a discounted cash flow model. In determining the indicated fair value of each reporting unit, the Company weighs both the market and income approach results, with each approach given equal weighting. The resulting value is then compared to the carrying value of each reporting unit. If the book value of the reporting unit exceeds the indicated fair value, goodwill is then considered under the second step of the impairment test. In the second step, goodwill impairment is measured as the difference between the implied value of goodwill and its carrying value. The implied value of goodwill is determined based on a hypothetical analysis that calculates the fair value of goodwill as if the related reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination.

Acquisitions	4. ACQUISITIONS Flagstone On July 29, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Flagstone, a privately owned U.S. based manufacturer of branded and private label varieties of snack nuts, trail mixes, dried fruit, snack mixes, and other wholesome snacks. Flagstone is one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of private label wholesome snacks in the United States, and is the largest manufacturer of trail mix and dried fruits in the United States. The purchase price was approximately $854.2 million, net of acquired cash, after adjustments for working capital. The acquisition was financed through additional borrowings and the issuance of common stock. The acquisition expanded our existing product offerings by providing the Company with an entrance into the wholesome snack food category, while also providing more exposure to the perimeter of the store. The Flagstone acquisition is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition in the North American Retail Grocery and Industrial and Export segments. Included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income are Flagstone’s net sales of approximately $287.3 million and net income of $3.8 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2014. Net income was partially offset by integration costs of $10.3 million. We have completed the allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows: (In thousands) Cash $ 902 Receivables 55,640 Inventory 128,224 Property, plant, and equipment 37,154 Customer relationships 231,700 Trade names 6,300 Supplier relationships 2,500 Software 1,755 Formulas 1,600 Other assets 35,081 Goodwill 511,274 Fair value of assets acquired 1,012,130 Deferred taxes (81,602 ) Assumed liabilities (75,397 ) Total purchase price $ 855,131 The Company allocated $231.7 million to customer relationships and $6.3 million to trade names, each of which have an estimated life of 15 years. The Company allocated $1.6 million to recipes and formulas, which have an estimated life of 5 years. The Company allocated $1.8 million to capitalized software with an estimated life of 1 year. The aforementioned intangibles are amortized on a straight line basis. The Company allocated $2.5 million to supplier relationships, which are amortized in a method reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed over the period of one year. The Company has allocated all $511.3 million of goodwill to the North American Retail Grocery segment. Goodwill arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities related to Flagstone’s product offerings in the snacking category. None of the goodwill resulting from this acquisition is tax deductible. The Company incurred approximately $8.9 million in acquisition costs during the year ended December 31, 2014 and none in 2015. These costs are included in the General and administrative expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Since the initial preliminary purchase price allocation included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2014, net adjustments of $5.7 million were made to decrease the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with corresponding adjustments to goodwill. The following unaudited pro forma information shows the results of operations for the Company as if its acquisition of Flagstone had been completed as of January 1, 2014. Adjustments have been made for the pro forma effects of depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets recognized as part of the business combination, the issuance of common stock, interest expense related tangible and intangible assets recognized as part of the business combination, the issuance of common stock, interest expense related to the financing of the business combination, and related income taxes. The pro forma results may not necessarily reflect actual results of operations that would have been achieved, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Year Ended December 31, 2014 (In thousands, except per share data) Pro forma net sales $ 3,332,108 Pro forma net income $ 82,812 Pro forma basic earnings per common share $ 1.97 Pro forma diluted earnings per common share $ 1.93 Protenergy On May 30, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Protenergy, a privately owned Canadian based manufacturer of broths, soups, and gravies. Protenergy specializes in providing products in carton and recart packaging for both private label and corporate brands, and also serves as a co-manufacturer of national brands. The Company paid $140.1 million, net of acquired cash, for the purchase of Protenergy. The acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The acquisition expanded our existing packaging capabilities and enables us to offer customers a full range of soup products, as well as leverage our research and development capabilities in the evolution of shelf stable liquids packaging from cans to cartons. The Protenergy acquisition is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition in the North American Retail Grocery and Industrial and Export segments. Included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income are Protenergy’s net sales of approximately $116.4 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2014. Also included is a net loss of $2.8 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2014. This loss includes integration costs of $6.1 million. We have completed the allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows: (In thousands) Cash $ 2,580 Receivables 10,949 Inventory 38,283 Property, plant, and equipment 36,355 Customer relationships 49,516 Software 1,483 Formulas 433 Other assets 2,425 Goodwill 50,728 Fair value of assets acquired 192,752 Assumed liabilities (42,412 ) Unfavorable contractual agreements (7,643 ) Total purchase price $ 142,697 The Company allocated $49.5 million to customer relationships that have an estimated life of 15 years and $0.4 million to formulas with an estimated life of 5 years. These intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis. The Company recorded $7.6 million of unfavorable contractual agreements, which have an estimated life of 2.6 years. These unfavorable contracts are amortized in a method reflecting the pattern in which the economic costs are incurred. As of the acquisition date, the Company has allocated all $50.7 million of goodwill to the North American Retail Grocery segment. Goodwill arises principally as a result of expansion opportunities, driven in part by Protenergy’s packaging technology. None of the goodwill resulting from this acquisition is tax deductible. The Company incurred approximately $3.3 million in acquisition costs during the year ended December 31, 2014 and none in 2015. These costs are included in the General and administrative expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Since the initial preliminary purchase price allocation included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2014, net adjustments of $0.2 million were made to increase the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with corresponding adjustments to goodwill. The following unaudited pro forma information shows the results of operations for the Company as if the acquisition of Protenergy had been completed as of January 1, 2014.

The investments held by the Company are classified as trading securities and are stated at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of the Interest income or Interest expense line on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Cash flows from purchases, sales, and maturities of trading securities are included in cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the nature and purpose for which the securities were acquired. Our investments include U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity, and fixed income securities that are classified as short-term investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity, and fixed income securities are classified as short-term investments as they have characteristics of other current assets and are actively managed. We consider temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $24.4 million and $31.6 million, respectively, represents cash and cash equivalents held in Canada in local currency and are convertible into other currencies. The cash and cash equivalents held in Canada are expected to be used for general corporate purposes in Canada, including capital projects and acquisitions. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized unrealized losses totaling $1.3 million that are included in the Interest expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Income and $1.3 million in unrealized gains that are included in the Interest income line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized a realized gain on investments totaling $0.2 million that was included in the Interest income line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. When securities are sold, their cost is determined based on the FIFO method.

This change decreased non-current liabilities by $35.6 million as of December 31, 2014, with a corresponding decrease in current assets. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, Canada and various U.S. state jurisdictions. In the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the Company is open to examination for the tax year ended December 31, 2013 and forward; for Canadian purposes, the Company is open to examination for the tax year ended December 31, 2010 and forward and for the various U.S. state jurisdictions the Company is generally open to examination for the tax year ended December 31, 2011 and forward. During the third quarter of 2015, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) initiated an examination of Flagstone Foods, Inc.’s pre-acquisition 2013 tax year. The Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is currently examining the 2008 through 2013 tax years of E.D. Smith. The IRS and CRA examinations are expected to be completed in 2016 or 2017. The Company has examinations in process with various state taxing authorities, which are expected to be complete in 2016. Management estimates that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by as much as $1.5 million within the next 12 months, primarily as a result of the resolution of audits currently in progress and the lapsing of statutes of limitations. During the year, the Company recorded adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 (In thousands) Unrecognized tax benefits beginning balance $ 13,211 $ 12,499 $ 9,528 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 55 476 8,834 Additions based on tax positions of prior years 1,549 83 1,001 Additions resulting from acquisitions 6,391 11,366 — Reductions for tax positions of prior years (1,384 ) (11,163 ) (6,350 ) Payments — (50 ) (514 ) Foreign currency translation (280 ) — — Unrecognized tax benefits ending balance $ 19,542 $ 13,211 $ 12,499 Unrecognized tax benefits are included in Other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Included in the balance at December 31, 2015 are amounts that are offset by deferred taxes (i.e., temporary differences). Of the amount accrued at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $7.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, would impact the effective tax rate if reversed. The Company has income tax net operating loss carryforwards related to its domestic and international operations which have a 20 year definite life. The Company has recorded a deferred asset of $3.9 million reflecting the benefit of $13.0 million in loss carryforwards. All of the loss carryforwards expire between 2032 and 2034. The Company recognizes interest expense (income) and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company recognized $0.1 million, $(0.1) million, and $(0.2) million of interest and penalties in income tax expense, respectively. The Company has accrued approximately $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, approximately $98.8 million of undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries were deemed to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, any applicable U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on these earnings. If these earnings had not been indefinitely reinvested, deferred taxes of approximately $33.8 million would have been recognized. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company entered into an intercompany financing structure that results in the recognition of foreign earnings subject to a low effective tax rate. As the foreign earnings are permanently reinvested, U.S. income taxes have not been provided. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $4.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, related to this item.

The proceeds from Term Loan A and a draw at closing on the Revolving Credit Facility were used to repay in full, amounts outstanding under our prior $750 million revolving credit facility (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The new credit agreement replaced the Prior Credit Agreement, which was terminated upon the repayment of the amounts outstanding thereunder on May 6, 2014. As a result of the debt refinancing, $6.5 million of fees associated with the Revolving Credit Facility and $2.4 million of fees associated with Term Loan A will be amortized over their five year and seven year terms, respectively. On July 29, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which among things, provided for a new $200 million term loan (“Term Loan A-1”). Term Loan A-1 (formerly known as the “Acquisition Term Loan”) was used to fund, in part, the acquisition of Flagstone. The Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan A, and Term Loan A-1 are known collectively as the “Credit Agreement.” The Company’s average interest rate on debt outstanding under its Credit Agreement for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was 1.91%. Revolving Credit Facility Interest is payable quarterly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings. The interest rates under the Credit Agreement are based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and are determined by either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% (inclusive of the facility fee), based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% (inclusive of the facility fee), based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally, as well as jointly and severally, guaranteed by our 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries described as follows: During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company updated its legal structure and consolidated American Importing Company, Inc., Ann’s House of Nuts, Inc., and Snacks Parent Corporation into a single 100% owned indirect guarantor subsidiary, Flagstone Foods, Inc. (formerly known as Snacks Holding Corporation). Additionally, the following legal entities were added as guarantors in the fourth quarter: Associated Brands, Inc.; Cains Foods, Inc.; Cains Foods L.P.; and Cains GP, LLC. As a result, Bay Valley Foods, LLC, Sturm Foods, Inc., and S.T. Specialty Foods, Inc. together with the fourth quarter changes noted above, and certain other subsidiaries that may become guarantors in the future are collectively known as the “Guarantor Subsidiaries.” In the fourth quarter of 2014, EDS Holdings, LLC was removed as a Guarantor Subsidiary. The Revolving Credit Facility contains various financial and restrictive covenants and requires that the Company maintain certain financial ratios, including a leverage and interest coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also contains cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments in the event TreeHouse or the Guarantor Subsidiaries (i) fails to make a payment when due in respect of any indebtedness or guarantee having an aggregate principal amount greater than $50 million or (ii) fails to observe or perform any other agreement or condition related to such indebtedness or guarantee as a result of which the holder(s) of such debt are permitted to accelerate the payment of such debt. Term Loan A Term Loan A-1 2022 Notes The Indenture provides, among other things, that the 2022 Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company’s payment obligations under the 2022 Notes are fully and unconditionally, as well as jointly and severally, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantor Subsidiaries, in addition to any future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee or become borrowers under its credit agreement, or guarantee certain other indebtedness incurred by the Company or its restricted subsidiaries. Interest is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2022 Notes will mature on March 15, 2022. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2022 Notes at any time prior to March 15, 2017 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes redeemed, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium. On or after March 15, 2017, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2022 Notes at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. In addition, at any time prior to March 15, 2017, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 2022 Notes at a redemption price of 104.875% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes redeemed with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change in control of the Company, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2022 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the purchase date. The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends or make other restricted payments, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, (iv) create liens, (v) pay dividends or make other payments (except for certain dividends and payments to the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company), (vi) merge or consolidate with other entities or sell substantially all of its assets, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (viii) engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions. The foregoing limitations are subject to exceptions as set forth in the Indenture. In addition, if in the future, the 2022 Notes have an investment grade credit rating by both Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, certain of these covenants will, thereafter, no longer apply to the 2022 Notes for so long as the 2022 Notes are rated investment grade by the two rating agencies.

Earnings Per Share	13. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of common shares used in the diluted earnings per share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method and includes the incremental effect related to the Company’s outstanding stock-based compensation awards. The following table summarizes the effect of the share-based compensation awards on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share: Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 (In thousands, except per share data) Net income $ 114,910 $ 89,880 $ 86,988 Weighted average common shares outstanding 43,052 39,348 36,418 Assumed exercise/vesting of equity awards (1) 657 890 978 Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding 43,709 40,238 37,396 Net earnings per basic share $ 2.67 $ 2.28 $ 2.39 Net earnings per diluted share $ 2.63 $ 2.23 $ 2.33 (1) Incremental shares from equity awards are computed by the treasury stock method. Equity awards, excluded from our computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive, were 0.7 million, 0.4 million, and 0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s Stockholders approved, the “TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Equity and Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”). On April 23, 2015, the Plan was amended and restated to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by 3.0 million shares, effective February 27, 2015. The Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee determines specific awards for our executive officers. For all other employees, if the committee designates, our Chief Executive Officer or such other officers will, from time to time, determine specific persons to whom awards under the Plan will be granted, and the terms and conditions of each award. The Compensation Committee or its designee, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, also will make all other necessary decisions and interpretations under the Plan. Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant awards of various types of compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, other types of stock-based awards, and other cash-based compensation. The maximum number of shares available to be awarded under the Plan is approximately 12.3 million, of which approximately 3.3 million remain available at December 31, 2015. Income before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 includes stock-based compensation expense for employees and directors of $22.9 million, $25.1 million, and $16.1 million, respectively. The tax benefit recognized related to the compensation cost of these share-based awards was approximately $9.5 million, $8.8 million, and $5.9 million for 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The Company estimates that certain employees and all directors will complete the required service conditions associated with their awards. For all other employees, the Company estimates forfeitures, as not all employees are expected to complete the required service conditions. The expected service period is the longer of the derived service period, as determined from the output of the valuation models, and the service period based on the term of the awards.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted in 2015, 2014, and 2013 was $22.04, $23.00, and $20.47, respectively. Stock options granted under the plan generally have a three year vesting schedule, vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, and expire ten years from the grant date. Stock options are generally only granted to employees and non-employee directors. Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities for 2015, 2014, and 2013 are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock price. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. We based our expected term on the simplified method as described under the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Under this approach the expected term is 6 years. The assumptions used to calculate the value of the stock option awards granted in 2015, 2014, and 2013 are presented as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Weighted average expected volatility 25.07 % 25.18 % 30.21 % Weighted average risk-free interest rate 1.97 % 2.03 % 0.995 % Expected dividends 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % Expected term 6.0 years 6.0 years 6.0 years Restricted Stock Units — Employee Weighted Director Weighted (In thousands) (In thousands) Outstanding, at January 1, 2015 392 $ 71.97 101 $ 49.71 Granted 181 $ 77.06 16 $ 76.30 Vested (186 ) $ 67.93 (6 ) $ 68.58 Forfeited (75 ) $ 76.36 — $ — Outstanding, at December 31, 2015 312 $ 76.36 111 $ 52.60 Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 (In millions) Compensation expense $ 11.7 $ 11.9 $ 8.9 Fair value of vested restricted stock units $ 14.9 $ 12.9 $ 9.8 Tax benefit recognized from vested restricted stock units $ 4.9 $ 4.7 $ 3.3 Future compensation costs related to restricted stock units are approximately $16.6 million as of December 31, 2015 and will be recognized on a weighted average basis over the next 1.9 years. The grant date fair value of the awards is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Performance Units During the year ended December 31, 2015, based on achievement of operating performance measures, 93,505 performance units were converted into 66,674 shares of common stock, an average conversion ratio of 0.71 shares for each performance unit.

Employee Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans	16. EMPLOYEE PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS Pension and Postretirement Benefits Defined Contribution Plans Multiemployer Pension Plans The Company’s participation in multiemployer pension plans is outlined in the table below. The EIN column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) of each plan. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2015 and 2014 is for the plan’s years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan, and is certified by the plan’s actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The FIP column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan “(“FIP”) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration dates of the collective bargaining agreements to which the plans are subject. There have been no significant changes in the number of Company employees covered by the multiemployer plans or other significant events that would affect the comparability of contributions to the plans.

Brotherhood of Teamsters Retirement Pension Plan 2015, 2014, and 2013 Defined Benefit Pension Plans The Company’s overall investment strategy is to provide a regular and reliable source of income to meet the liquidity needs of the pension plans and minimize reliance on plan sponsor contributions as a source of benefit security. The Company’s investment policy includes various guidelines and procedures designed to ensure assets are invested in a manner necessary to meet expected future benefits earned by participants. Central to the policy are target allocation ranges by major asset classes. The objective of the target allocations is to ensure the assets are invested with the intent to protect pension plan assets so that such assets are preserved for the provision of benefits to participants and their beneficiaries and such long-term growth as may maximize the amounts available to provide such benefits without undue risk. Additionally, we consider the weighted average return of a capital markets model and historical returns on comparable equity, debt, and other investments. Our current asset mix guidelines, under the investment policy, target equities at 55% to 65% of the portfolio and fixed income at 35% to 45%. At December 31, 2015, our master trust was invested as follows: equity securities of 59.7%, fixed income securities of 39.9% and cash and cash equivalents of 0.4%. Equity securities primarily include investments in collective equity funds that invest in domestic and international securities, with a primary focus on domestic securities. Fixed income securities primarily include investments in collective funds that invest in corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries. Other investments are short term in nature, including certificates of deposit, investments in a collective bond fund that invests in commercial paper, time deposits, fixed rate notes and bonds and others. The fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014, by asset category is as follows: Pension Plan Assets 2015 2014 (In thousands) Short Term Investment Fund (a) $ 228 $ 52 Aggregate Bond Index Fund (b) 9,945 10,312 U.S. Market Cap Equity Index Fund (c) 24,613 25,858 International All Country World Index Fund (d) 3,421 3,407 Collective Daily 1-5 year Credit Bond Fund (e) 7,787 8,234 Emerging Markets Index Fund (f) 1,417 1,375 Daily High Yield Fixed Income Fund (g) 1,942 2,074 $ 49,353 $ 51,312 (a) This fund is an investment vehicle for cash reserves, which seeks to offer a competitive rate of return through a portfolio of high-grade, short term, and money market instruments. Principal preservation is the primary objective of this fund. (b) The primary objective of this fund is to hold a portfolio representative of the overall United States bond and debt market, as characterized by the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. (c) The primary objective of this fund is to approximate the risk and return characteristics of the Dow Jones U.S. ex-LP’s Total Stock Market Index. (d) The primary objective of this fund is to approximate the risk and return characteristics of the Morgan Stanley All Country World ex-US (MSCI ACWI ex-US) ND Index. This fund is commonly used to represent the non-U.S. equity in developed and emerging markets. (e) The primary objective of this fund is to hold a portfolio representative of the intermediate credit securities portion of the United States bond and debt markets, as characterized by the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-5 year Credit Bond Index. (f) The primary objective of this fund is to provide investment results that replicate the overall performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Fund may make limited use of futures and/or options to maintain equity exposure. (g) The primary objective of this fund is to outperform the Barclay’s Capital High Yield Index over a market cycle while maintaining a similar level of volatility and credit quality as the index. This Fund can serve as a core bond investment position, providing exposure to the U.S. Fixed Income market. (h) As described in in Note 2, the Company adopted ASU 2015-07, which removes the requirement to categorize investments within the fair value hierarchy for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. As the fair values of all of these assets are measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient, levels within the fair value hierarchy are not provided for these assets. Pension benefits for eligible salaried and non-union employees were frozen in 2002 for years of creditable service. For these employees, incremental pension benefits are only earned for changes in compensation affecting final average pay. Pension benefits earned by union employees covered by collective bargaining agreements, but not participating in multiemployer pension plans, are earned based on creditable years of service and the specified benefit amounts negotiated as part of the collective bargaining agreements. The Company’s funding policy provides that annual contributions to the pension plan master trust will be at least equal to the minimum amounts required by Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company estimates that its 2016 contributions to its pension plans will be $2.6 million. In 2014, the retirement of selected employees with substantial pension balances owed upon retirement was deemed a settlement charge of $0.6 million. The measurement date for the defined benefit pension plans is December 31. In 2015, the actuarial gain relating to the defined benefit pension plans was primarily driven by the change in the discount rate. Other Postretirement Benefits The Company contributes to certain multiemployer postretirement benefit plans other than pensions on behalf of employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. These plans are administered jointly by management and union representatives and cover all eligible retirees. These plans are primarily health and welfare funds and carry the same multiemployer risks as identified at the beginning of this Note. Total contributions to these plans were $2.6 million, $2.5 million, and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

The effect on those covered by plans for which we maintain a liability was not significant.

Derivative Instruments	20. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by derivative instruments include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and commodity price risk. Derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposure and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest Rate Risk Foreign Currency Risk — Commodity Risk The Company’s forward purchase commodity contracts may include contracts for diesel, oil, plastics, natural gas, electricity, and other commodity contracts that do not meet the requirements for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception. The Company uses diesel contracts to manage the Company’s risk associated with the underlying cost of diesel fuel used to deliver products. The contracts for oil and plastics are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the underlying commodity cost of a significant component used in packaging materials. The contracts for natural gas and electricity are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the utility costs of its manufacturing facilities, and commodity contracts that are derivatives that do not meet the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are used to manage the price risk associated with raw material costs. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding contracts for the purchase of 56,764 megawatts of electricity, expiring throughout 2016; 5.2 million gallons of diesel, expiring throughout 2016; 2.4 million dekatherms of natural gas, expiring throughout 2016; and 1.5 million pounds of coffee, expiring throughout 2016.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair values of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan A, and Term Loan A-1 were estimated using present value techniques and market based interest rates and credit spreads. The fair value of the Company’s 2022 Notes was estimated based on quoted market prices for similar instruments, where the inputs are considered Level 2, due to their infrequent trading volume. The fair values of the commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts are based on an analysis comparing the contract rates to the market rates at the balance sheet date. The commodity contracts and foreign currency contracts are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the investments was determined using Level 1 inputs. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement dates. The investments are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Segment and Geographic Information and Major Customers	22. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS The Company manages operations on a company-wide basis, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources in total rather than on a segment-level basis. The Company has designated reportable segments based on how management views its business. The Company does not segregate assets between segments for internal reporting. Therefore, asset-related information has not been presented. The reportable segments, as presented below, are consistent with the manner in which the Company reports its results to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Our segments are as follows: North American Retail Grocery – Food Away From Home – Industrial and Export – The Company evaluates the performance of segments based on net sales dollars and direct operating income (gross profit less freight out, sales commissions, and direct selling and marketing expenses). The amounts in the following tables are obtained from reports used by senior management and do not include income taxes. Other expenses not allocated include unallocated selling and distribution expenses, unallocated costs of sales and unallocated corporate expenses.

Subsequent Events	25. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In connection with the financing of the acquisition of the private brands business (“Private Brands Business”) of ConAgra Foods, on January 20, 2016, the Company announced the offering of $750 million of stock, or 11,538,461 shares at $65.00 per share. Included in the offering was an underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1,730,769 shares at $65.00 per share. On January 26, 2016, a total of 13,269,230 shares were issued, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $862.5 million. Net cash from the offering, after the exercise of the over-allotment option and after considering the underwriting fees, was approximately $836.6 million. The net proceeds from the offering were used to fund, in part, the acquisition of the Private Brands Business. Also in connection with the financing of the acquisition of the Private Brands Business, on January 29, 2016, the Company completed an exempt offering under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of $775 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0% senior unsecured notes (“2024 Notes”) due February 15, 2024. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes (approximately $763.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts) were used to fund, in part, the acquisition of the Private Brands Business. Interest on the 2024 Notes will be paid on February 15 th th On February 1, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of the Private Brands Business for approximately $2.7 billion, excluding transaction expenses and subject to working capital and other adjustments. The acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The required disclosures have not been provided as the initial accounting for the business combination was not complete prior to the issuance of these financial statements. The acquisition was funded by $836.6 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock, $763.4 million in net proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes, and $1,025.0 million in Term Loan A-2 financing, with the remaining balance funded by borrowings from the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan A-2 financing was funded on February 1, 2016 coincident with the closing of the acquisition and has a term of 5 years. Interest on the Term Loan A-2 financing is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and is determined by either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 3.00%, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 2.00%. Payments are due on a quarterly basis. The Company obtained Term Loan A-2 pursuant to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends, restates and replaces the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2014. Significant components of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement include (but are not limited to) (1) changes to the maturity dates of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan A, and Term Loan A-1 so that they are coterminous and will mature on February 1, 2021, (2) issuance of Term Loan A-2, (3) the Credit Agreement is now a secured facility until the Company reaches a leverage ratio of 3.5 and has no other pari-passu secured debt outstanding, and (4) increased credit spreads. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains substantially the same covenants as the prior Credit Agreement.

Capitalized leases are amortized over the shorter of their lease term or their estimated useful lives, and amortization expense is included in depreciation expense.

Impairment is indicated when their book value exceeds fair value. If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down to fair value, which is generally based on its discounted future cash flows. Amortizable intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows. Goodwill is evaluated annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances require an interim assessment. We assess goodwill for impairment (as of December 31) at the reporting unit level using market and income approaches, employing significant assumptions regarding growth, discount rates, and profitability at each reporting unit. The market approach uses a market multiple methodology employing revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and applies a range of multiples to those amounts in determining the indicated fair value. In determining the multiples used in this approach, we obtain the multiples for selected peer companies using the most recent publically available information. Our estimates under the income approach are determined based on a discounted cash flow model. In determining the indicated fair value of each reporting unit, the Company weighs both the market and income approach results, with each approach given equal weighting. The resulting value is then compared to the carrying value of each reporting unit. If the book value of the reporting unit exceeds the indicated fair value, goodwill is then considered under the second step of the impairment test. In the second step, goodwill impairment is measured as the difference between the implied value of goodwill and its carrying value. The implied value of goodwill is determined based on a hypothetical analysis that calculates the fair value of goodwill as if the related reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination.
