CAMPBELL REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER RESULTS
Third-Quarter Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share Increased 6 Percent to $0.57
CAMDEN, N.J., May 23, 2011—Campbell Soup Company (NYSE: CPB)today reported its results for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Third-Quarter Summary
| • | | Sales Increased 1 Percent to $1.813 Billion |
| |
| • | | Baking and Snacking Sales Increased 10 Percent |
| |
| • | | U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages Sales Decreased 8 Percent |
| |
| • | | Strong Performance in North America Foodservice |
Net earnings for the quarter ended May 1, 2011, were $187 million, or $0.57 per share, compared with $168 million, or $0.49 per share, in the prior year. Excluding items impacting comparability in the prior year, net earnings per share increased 6 percent in the current quarter from adjusted net earnings per share of $0.54 in the prior period. The prior year quarter’s reported net earnings included adjustments related to a completed restructuring program and a deferred tax expense related to the enactment of U.S. health care legislation in March 2010. A detailed reconciliation of the prior-year adjusted financial information to the reported information is included at the end of this news release.
Denise Morrison, Campbell’s Chief Operating Officer, said, “This quarter we reported a modest increase in sales and EBIT and a significant improvement in earnings per share growth, with three of our four reporting segments contributing to this performance. While we are encouraged by our progress, we are not satisfied with this performance and clearly have more work to do.
“After heavy discounting in U.S. soup during the first half, we began shifting our marketing investments in the third quarter toward brand building initiatives. Over time we anticipate that these efforts, combined with accelerated and targeted innovation, will improve price realization and strengthen brand equity. Sales of our beverage products softened this quarter compared to very strong results a year ago. We have a pipeline of healthy beverage innovations to build on our track record of growth. In Baking and Snacking, our second-largest segment, we continued to deliver strong performance with double-digit sales increases and strong bottom-line results this quarter.”
Morrison concluded, “We remain focused on our plans to stabilize and then profitably grow net sales, and we are stepping up our game across the company with plans that include innovation, brand marketing excellence, superior consumer insights and relentless cost management.”
Fiscal 2011 Guidance
Campbell expects to be at the high end of its fiscal 2011 guidance, including net sales change versus prior year of between 1 percent and (1) percent, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to decline between (3) and (5) percent and earnings per share (EPS) to decline between (1) and (3) percent from the fiscal 2010 adjusted base of $2.47.
Third-Quarter Results
For the third quarter, sales increased 1 percent to $1.813 billion. The increase in sales for the quarter reflected the following factors:
| | • | | Volume and mix subtracted 2 percent |
| |
| | • | | Price and sales allowances added 1 percent |
| |
| | • | | Currency added 2 percent |
Third-Quarter Financial Details
| | • | | Gross margin was 40.4 percent compared with 41.2 percent a year ago. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to cost inflation and higher plant costs, partially offset by productivity improvements. |
2
| | • | | Marketing and selling expenses decreased to $243 million compared with $252 million in the prior year, primarily due to lower advertising and consumer promotion expenses, and lower selling expenses, partially offset by the impact of currency. |
| |
| | • | | Administrative expenses decreased $8 million to $148 million, primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs. |
| |
| | • | | EBIT was $307 million compared with $292 million in the prior-year quarter. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EBIT in the prior-year quarter was $304 million. Adjusted EBIT increased 1 percent primarily due to lower selling and marketing expenses, lower administrative expenses and the favorable impact of currency, partially offset by the decline in gross margin percentage and lower sales volumes. |
| |
| | • | | Net earnings per share were $0.57 in the current quarter compared with adjusted net earnings per share of $0.54 in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 6 percent. EPS benefited from lower weighted average diluted shares outstanding. |
Nine-Month Results
Net earnings for the first nine months were $705 million, or $2.11 per share, compared with $731 million, or $2.09 per share, in the year-ago period. Excluding items impacting comparability, net earnings declined 6 percent compared to adjusted net earnings of $749 million, and net earnings per share declined 1 percent versus an adjusted $2.14 per share in the prior year.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, sales were $6.112 billion, a decrease of 1 percent from the year-ago period. The change in sales for the period reflected the following factors:
| | • | | Increased promotional spending subtracted 2 percent |
| |
| | • | | Currency added 1 percent |
Nine-Month Financial Details
| | • | | Gross margin was 40.3 percent compared with 41.2 percent a year ago. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to |
3
| | | | cost inflation and higher plant costs, and increased promotional spending, partially offset by productivity improvements and favorable mix. |
| |
| | • | | Marketing and selling expenses decreased $26 million to $811 million, primarily due to lower selling expenses which benefited from cost-saving initiatives. |
| |
| | • | | Administrative expenses increased $4 million to $442 million, primarily due to higher pension and benefit costs, information systems related costs, costs associated with the new headquarters facility and currency, partially offset by lower compensation expenses. |
| |
| | • | | EBIT was $1.110 billion compared with $1.161 billion in the prior year. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EBIT in the prior year was $1.173 billion. Adjusted EBIT decreased 5 percent primarily due to the decline in gross margin percentage and lower sales, partially offset by lower marketing and selling expenses and favorable currency. |
| |
| | • | | Cash flow from operations was $858 million compared with $859 million in the year-ago period. The current-year cash flow reflected higher working capital requirements offset by the benefit of lower pension contributions. |
| |
| | • | | Year to date, Campbell repurchased 20 million shares for $696 million under its strategic share repurchase program announced in June 2008 and the company’s practice of buying back shares sufficient to offset those issued under incentive compensation plans. |

U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages
Sales for U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages were $778 million for the third quarter, a decrease of 8 percent compared to the year-ago period. The decline in sales was due to volume and mix.
4
U.S. soup sales declined 7 percent in the quarter. Sales volumes were negatively impacted by reduced promotional spending as the company transitioned to higher promoted price points at retail. Sales, primarily of ready-to-serve varieties, were also negatively impacted by fluctuations in customer inventories.

| |
| | • | | Sales of frozen products increased double digits, fueled by the launch of Artisan Stone Baked rolls. |

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Third Quarter Ended May 1, 2011
Campbell Soup Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in certain communications. These non-GAAP financial measures are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures.
Items Impacting Earnings
The company believes that financial information excluding certain transactions not considered to be part of the ongoing business improves the comparability of year-to-year results. Consequently, the company believes that investors may be able to better understand its earnings results if these transactions are excluded.
The following items impacted earnings in fiscal 2010:
| | (1) | | In fiscal 2008, the company announced initiatives to improve operational efficiency and long-term profitability, including selling certain salty snack food brands and assets in Australia, closing certain production facilities in Australia and Canada, and streamlining the company’s management structure. In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $12 million ($8 million after tax or $0.02 per share) for pension benefit costs related to these initiatives. |
| | (2) | | In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the company recorded deferred tax expense of $10 million ($0.03 per share) due to the enactment of U.S. health care legislation in March 2010. The law changed the tax treatment of subsidies to companies that provide prescription drug benefits to retirees. Accordingly, the company recorded the non-cash charge to reduce the value of the deferred tax asset associated with the subsidy. |
The tables below reconcile financial information, presented in accordance with GAAP, to financial information excluding certain transactions:
