NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Lamb Weston”), along with its joint venture partners, is a leading global producer, distributor, and marketer of value-added frozen potato products and is headquartered in Eagle, Idaho. We have four reportable segments: Global, Foodservice, Retail, and Other. See Note 16, Business Segments and Related Information, for additional information on our reportable segments. On November 9, 2016, Lamb Weston separated from Conagra Brands, Inc. (formerly, ConAgra Foods, Inc., “Conagra” or “our former parent”) and became an independent publicly traded company through the pro rata distribution by Conagra of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Lamb Weston to Conagra stockholders (which we refer to as the “Separation”). Each Conagra stockholder of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 1, 2016, the “record date,” received one share of Lamb Weston common stock for every three shares of Conagra common stock held on the record date. Approximately 146 million shares of Lamb Weston common stock were distributed on November 9, 2016 to Conagra stockholders. Information related to the Separation and its effect on our financial statements are discussed throughout these Notes to Condensed Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements. Basis of Presentation The unaudited quarterly Condensed Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements present the financial results of Lamb Weston for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The preparation of financial statements involves the use of estimates and accruals. Actual results may vary from those estimates. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements for periods prior to the Separation may not reflect what our results of operations would have been had we operated as a separate stand-alone company and may not be indicative of our future results of operations. These quarterly financial statements and notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, on October 17, 2016 (the “Form 10”). Prior to Separation Prior to the Separation from Conagra on November 9, 2016 (the “Separation Date”), the combined financial statements were prepared using the specific accounting records of the entities which comprise the business of Lamb Weston. In some cases, principally foreign locations, those business activities were contained within entities that were engaged in other business activities of Conagra. Because a direct ownership relationship did not exist among the various units comprising Lamb Weston, Conagra and its subsidiaries’ equity investment is shown in lieu of stockholders’ equity in the combined financial statements. Intercompany investments, accounts, and transactions between the various legal entities comprising Lamb Weston have been eliminated. Prior to the Separation Date, Lamb Weston’s financial statements included accounts specifically attributed to Lamb Weston and a portion of Conagra’s shared corporate general and administrative expenses. These shared services included, but were not limited to, legal, finance, internal audit, financial reporting, income tax accounting and advisory, insurance, information technology, treasury, and human resources functions. Shared corporate general and administrative expenses not specifically identifiable to Lamb Weston were allocated to Lamb Weston. The allocations were determined on a basis which we consider being reasonable reflections of the utilization of services provided by Conagra. However, these allocations may not reflect the costs and expenses that Lamb Weston would have incurred as a stand-alone company. A more detailed discussion of the relationship with Conagra, including a description of the costs which have been allocated to Lamb Weston and the methods of cost allocation, is included in Note 3, Related Party Transactions. As further described in Note 3, prior to the Separation Date, Lamb Weston engaged in various intercompany transactions with Conagra and its affiliates, including the sale and purchase of certain products, the procurement of certain materials and services, cash transfers related to Conagra’s centralized cash management process and expense allocations. As Conagra does not settle intercompany transactions with its businesses on a routine basis, all amounts due to (from) Conagra are classified as “Parent companies’ invested equity” on the May 29, 2016 Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheet . Changes in parent companies’ equity investment arising from cash transactions are presented as “Net transfers (to) from parent” in financing activities in the accompanying Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, notwithstanding that advances from parent companies were utilized to fund Lamb Weston’s working capital requirements. After Separation Subsequent to the Separation Date, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lamb Weston and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. In addition, the accounts of all variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date such determination was made. Intercompany investments, accounts, and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the prior period combined financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. To conform with the current year presentation, we reclassified the amount associated with the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Lamb Weston BSW, LLC from “Other noncurrent liabilities” to “Redeemable noncontrolling interest” on the May 29, 2016 Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information, see Note 8, Investments in Joint Ventures. New and Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . This ASU adds or clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplified the accounting for income taxes, among other changes, related to stock based compensation. Conagra (and therefore Lamb Weston) early adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 with an effective date of May 30, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued its final lease accounting standard, FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases , which requires lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheet as assets and obligations. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the effect that ASC 842 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. The standard is to be applied under the modified retrospective method, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . This ASU requires entities to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. Conagra (and therefore Lamb Weston) early adopted ASU 2015-17 effective May 30, 2016, and we have reflected our deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in our Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheets. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which addresses the measurement of inventory if its value declines or is impaired. The guidance on determining the cost of inventory is not amended. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements. The standard will be applied prospectively. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . This ASU conforms the presentation of debt issuance costs with that required for debt discounts under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Under the ASU, debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related liability rather than as an asset. We applied this guidance retrospectively, as required. No reclassifications of balances at May 29, 2016, were necessary with the adoption of ASU 2015-03. See Note 11, Debt and Financing Obligations for more information. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous industry specific requirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year so that it is now effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2019. Early adoption in fiscal year 2018 is permitted. Lamb Weston is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. There were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations . |

(b) Diluted earnings per share is calculated using net income available to common shareholders divided by diluted weighted-average shares of common shares outstanding during each period, which includes unvested share-based awards that are dilutive. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016, 0.3 million share-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because they would be antidilutive. Lamb Weston had no share-based awards outstanding prior to the Separation. |

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Prior to the Separation, our business was included in the Commercial Foods segment of Conagra and thus our transactions with Conagra were considered related party transactions. In connection with the Separation, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement, as well as various other agreements that govern our relationships with Conagra going forward, including a transition services agreement, tax matters agreement, employee matters agreement, and trademark license agreement. Under the transition services agreement, Conagra provides a number of corporate staff services to us based on direct and indirect costs associated with rendering those services. These services include information technology, accounting, and human resource services. The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016, include $0.4 million of expenses related to the transition services agreement. The transition services agreement expires in March 2018. Information included in the remainder of this Note 3 with respect to Conagra is strictly limited to our related party transactions with Conagra prior to the Separation Date. Prior to the Separation Date, Conagra allocated certain selling, general and administrative costs to Lamb Weston based on specific metrics correlated with the cost of services it provided or costs incurred on behalf of the Company (e.g., employee headcount, net sales, and square footage of office space, etc.). Allocations based upon these metrics resulted in $3.4 million and $11.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively, of selling, general and administrative costs allocated to Lamb Weston; and $7.7 million and $23.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively of selling, general and administrative costs allocated to Lamb Weston. Beginning in fiscal 2017, certain departmental charges, which were previously allocated, are now being directly absorbed by Lamb Weston. The above allocations were consistent with historical allocations for Lamb Weston; however, Conagra did not historically allocate certain other corporate costs to its various segments. For any remaining indirect corporate costs that supported Lamb Weston, Conagra allocated additional selling, general and administrative costs using an equal weighting between Lamb Weston product contribution margin (net sales less cost of sales and advertising and promotion expenses) and Lamb Weston total assets relative to consolidated Conagra product contribution margin and total assets. Allocations of indirect corporate costs were $8.4 million and $10.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively; and $17.3 million and $24.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively, of selling, general and administrative costs. Although it is not practicable to estimate what such costs would have been if Lamb Weston had operated as a separate entity, Lamb Weston considers such allocations to have been made on a reasonable basis. The allocations discussed above ceased after the Separation Date. The Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 29, 2016 and the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the period up to the Separation Date for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, include only the specific debt and interest expense of the legal entities that make-up Lamb Weston, and do not include any allocated interest expense or third-party debt of Conagra. See Note 11, Debt and Financing Obligations, for a discussion of indebtedness incurred in connection with the Separation. The interest expense included in Lamb Weston’s results of operations was $6.8 million and $1.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively; and $8.3 million and $2.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. Prior to the Separation, Conagra did not settle intercompany transactions with its subsidiaries on a routine basis. As a result, all amounts due to (from) Conagra are classified as “Parent companies’ invested equity” on the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 29, 2016. It reflects all changes in parent companies’ invested equity for all transactions between Conagra and Lamb Weston, including direct and allocated charges from Conagra to Lamb Weston, intercompany cash transfers, derivative hedging activities performed by Conagra for the benefit of Lamb Weston, sales of potatoes, vegetables, and other products for use by other Conagra affiliates, and net cash management activities. In addition, these financial statements reflect the sale of certain branded products manufactured for distribution by other Conagra affiliates. Income tax payments were made by Conagra on Lamb Weston’s behalf. Income taxes payable were settled in parent companies’ invested equity when payments are made by Conagra. Included in net sales are sales to Conagra of $4.0 million and $7.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively; and $8.4 million and $15.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. The related cost of sales were $3.4 million and $6.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively; and $7.0 million and $13.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. Lamb Weston also made purchases from Conagra of $2.6 million and $5.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively; and $7.9 million and $10.1 million during the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. Conagra guarantees Lamb Weston’s performance under a third-party contract for certain warehousing, handling and transportation services for a portion of its finished goods inventory. The minimum term of the agreement is for a period of 20 years with three five-year renewal options. The costs of these services are adjusted annually, subject to a minimum monthly payment of $1.5 million. |

INCOME TAXES | |
INCOME TAXES | 4. INCOME TAXES For periods ended on or prior to the Separation Date, we were a member of Conagra’s consolidated group and our U.S. taxable income was included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of Conagra as well as in returns filed by Conagra with certain state and local taxing jurisdictions. Our foreign income tax returns are filed on a separate company basis. For periods prior to the Separation Date, our income tax liability was computed and presented herein under the “separate return method” as if we were a separate tax paying entity. In connection with the Separation, we entered into various agreements with Conagra that govern the relationship between the parties going forward, including a tax matters agreement. The tax matters agreement was entered into on the Separation Date. Under the tax matters agreement, Conagra is generally responsible for all taxes associated with consolidated federal and state filings (and will be entitled to all related refunds of taxes) imposed on Conagra and its subsidiaries (including subsidiaries that were transferred to Lamb Weston at Separation) with respect to the taxable periods (or portions thereof) ended on or prior to November 9, 2016. Also, pursuant to this agreement, Lamb Weston is generally responsible for all taxes associated with separately filed foreign, state and local tax filings (and will be entitled to all related refunds of taxes) imposed on Lamb Weston and its subsidiaries ended on or prior to November 9, 2016. In connection with the Separation, Lamb Weston recognized a step-up in tax basis in certain assets, which resulted in a $75.0 million net decrease in deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding increase in equity. The step-up in tax basis related to a deferred intercompany transaction arising in 2008, which until the Distribution Date, was eliminated within Conagra’s consolidated financial statements and federal tax filings. Income tax expense for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, was $33.9 million and $38.7 million, respectively, and for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, was $84.9 million and $71.0 million, respectively. The effective tax rate (calculated as the ratio of income tax expense to pre-tax income, inclusive of equity method investment earnings) was approximately 27% and 33% for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively, and 33% and 34% for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. The lower rate in the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016, is primarily attributable to an increase in costs determined to be deductible, as well as a discrete benefit arising from a change in estimate relating to fiscal 2016 foreign taxes. There have been no material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits disclosed in Note 11, Pre-Tax Income and Income Taxes, of the Notes to Combined Financial Statements included in the Form 10. Income taxes paid, net of refunds, were $90.6 million and $61.8 million in the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. |

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES | 8. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES Variable Interest Entity - Consolidated We hold a 49.99% interest in Lamb Weston BSW, LLC (“Lamb Weston BSW”), a potato processing venture with Ochoa Ag Unlimited Foods, Inc. (“Ochoa”). We provide all sales and marketing services to Lamb Weston BSW. Under certain circumstances, we could be required to compensate Ochoa for lost profits resulting from significant production shortfalls. Commencing on June 1, 2018, or on an earlier date under certain circumstances, Lamb Weston has a contractual right to purchase the remaining equity interest in Lamb Weston BSW from Ochoa (the “call option”). Lamb Weston is currently subject to a contractual obligation to purchase all of Ochoa’s equity investment in Lamb Weston BSW at the option of Ochoa (the “put option”). The purchase prices under the call option and the put option (the “options”) are based on the book value of Ochoa’s equity interest at the date of exercise, as modified by an agreed-upon rate of return for the holding period of the investment balance. The agreed-upon rate of return varies depending on the circumstances under which any of the options are exercised. Our variable interests in Lamb Weston BSW include an equity investment in the venture, the options, certain fees paid to Lamb Weston by Lamb Weston BSW for sales and marketing services, the contingent obligation related to production shortfalls and the contingent obligation to fund additional equity contributions or purchase the underlying notes associated with certain Lamb Weston BSW financings. Lamb Weston’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of Lamb Weston’s involvement with this venture is equal to Lamb Weston’s equity investment in the venture, the balance of any promissory notes extended to the venture which are subject to Lamb Weston’s purchase obligation, and the amount, if any, by which the put option exercise price exceeds the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Lamb Weston BSW upon its exercise. Also, in the event of a production shortfall, we could be required to compensate Ochoa for lost profits. It is not possible to determine the maximum exposure to losses from the potential exercise of the put option or from potential production shortfalls. However, we do not expect to incur material losses resulting from these potential exposures. Lamb Weston and Lamb Weston BSW purchase potatoes from a shareholder of Ochoa. The aggregate amount of such purchases were $12.5 million and $11.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively; and $36.6 million and $27.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. Lamb Weston BSW is a variable interest entity and we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. We consolidate the financial statements of Lamb Weston BSW. The amounts presented for Lamb Weston BSW in the table below exclude intercompany balances eliminated in consolidation and include the non-controlling interest at redemption value as reported in the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheets (dollars in millions): November 27, May 29, 2016 2016 Cash and equivalents $ $ Receivables, less allowance for doubtful accounts (a) Inventories Prepaid expenses and other current assets Property, plant and equipment, net Goodwill Intangible assets, net Total assets $ $ Notes payable $ — $ Current portion of long-term debt Accounts payable Accrued liabilities Long-term debt, excluding current portion Total liabilities $ $ Redeemable noncontrolling interest (b) $ $ (a) As of November 27, 2016 and May 29, 2016, affiliate receivables of $22.2 million and $25.8 million are not included above as they are eliminated in consolidation. (b) Represents the amount that our joint venture partner, Ochoa, had the right to put its equity interest to Lamb Weston on November 27, 2016 and May 29, 2016. The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating the Lamb Weston BSW entity do not represent additional claims on Lamb Weston’s general assets. In connection with the Lamb Weston BSW long-term debt, we have entered into an agreement with the financial institution which provides that in the event that Lamb Weston BSW fails to comply with certain financial covenants or repayment terms, we are required to either make certain additional equity contributions to Lamb Weston BSW or to purchase the underlying notes. The assets recognized as a result of consolidating Lamb Weston BSW are the property of the venture and are not available to Lamb Weston for any other purpose. Variable Interest Entity - Not Consolidated Lamb Weston holds a 50% interest in Lamb-Weston/RDO Frozen (“Lamb Weston RDO”), a potato processing venture based in the United States. Lamb Weston provides all sales and marketing services to Lamb Weston RDO. Lamb Weston receives a fee for these services based on a percentage of the net sales of the venture. The fees received were $3.4 million and $3.1 million, for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively; and $6.9 million and $6.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. These fees are recorded as a reduction to selling, general, and administrative expense. Our ownership interest in this venture is included in “Equity method investments” in the Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balance of Lamb Weston’s investment was $15.8 million and $16.9 million at November 27, 2016 and May 29, 2016, respectively, representing our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with this venture. The capital structure of Lamb Weston RDO includes owners’ equity of $32.1 million and $33.9 million as of November 27, 2016 and May 29, 2016, respectively; and term borrowings from banks of $39.9 million and $16.9 million as of November 27, 2016 and May 29, 2016, respectively. Lamb Weston has determined that Lamb Weston RDO is a variable interest entity, but Lamb Weston is not the primary beneficiary. Lamb Weston does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint venture. Accordingly, Lamb Weston does not consolidate the financial statements of this entity. Lamb Weston uses equity method accounting to account for its ownership in Lamb Weston RDO. Other Investments Lamb Weston also holds a 50% ownership interest in Lamb-Weston/Meijer v.o.f. (“Lamb-Weston/Meijer”), a Netherlands joint venture with Meijer Frozen Foods B.V., headquartered in the Netherlands, which manufactures and sells frozen potato products principally in Europe. We account for this investment using equity method accounting. Transactions with Joint Ventures The carrying value of our equity method investments, which include Lamb Weston RDO and Lamb-Weston/Meijer, at November 27, 2016 and May 29, 2016, was $150.8 million and $155.2 million, respectively. These amounts are included in “Equity method investments” in our Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, we had sales and payments to our equity method investments of $7.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and $3. 4 million and $3.0 million, respectively; and for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, we had sales and payments to our equity method investments of $14.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and $7.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively. Total dividends from our equity method investments were $5.6 million and $4.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively, and $13.9 million and $7.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively. |

The Credit Agreement consists of a five-year amortizing $675.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a five-year non-amortizing $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Agreement is secured as long as Lamb Weston remains below investment grade by both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Of the $1,666.0 million of Senior Notes, $1,542.9 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes were distributed directly to Conagra and we used the proceeds of $123.1 million of Senior Notes, together with $700.4 million of borrowings under the Credit Facilities, to fund an $823.5 million cash payment to Conagra at the time of the Separation. The $1,542.9 million of Senior Notes distributed directly to Conagra is a noncash financing activity for Lamb Weston. Debt issuances as of November 27, 2016 consisted of the following: · Revolving Credit Facility : A five-year nonamortizing $500.0 million revolving credit facility with variable annual interest, under which $80 million is outstanding on November 27, 2016. In addition to paying interest, we pay an annual commitment fee for undrawn amounts at a rate of 0.25% to 0.40% depending on our consolidated net leverage ratio. · Term Loan Facility : A five-year $675.0 million term loan amortizing in equal quarterly installments for a total of 5% annually commencing in March 2017 with the balance payable in November 2021. · 4.625% Senior Notes : An eight-year $833.0 million senior debt obligation with fixed annual interest. · 4.875% Senior Notes : A ten-year $833.0 million senior debt obligation with fixed annual interest. Credit Facilities Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate per annum based upon the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency rate, in each case plus an applicable margin which varies based upon our consolidated net leverage ratio. Margins range from 0.500% to 1.250% for Base Rate loans and from 1.500% to 2.250% for Eurocurrency Rate loans. The Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) Bank of America’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.500% and (c) the Eurocurrency Rate with a term of one month plus 1.0%. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline advances not to exceed $100.0 million and $35.0 million, respectively. Swingline advances will accrue interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. Letters of credit and swingline advances will reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, among other things, amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the commitments may be terminated. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of November 9, 2021. At November 27, 2016, we had $80.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. At November 27, 2016, we had $420.0 million of availability and no outstanding letters of credit. For the period of November 9, 2016 through November 27, 2016, the average interest rate for our borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.5%. We are required to maintain the following financial covenant ratios under the Credit Agreement: · Total net leverage ratio of 5.50 to 1.00, decreasing ratably to 4.50 to 1.00 on August 25, 2019 through maturity · Interest coverage ratio of 2.75 to 1.00 The obligations of Lamb Weston under our Credit Facilities are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries subject to the exclusion of immaterial subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that, subject to exceptions, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt, make loans and investments, incur or suffer to exist liens, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from restricted subsidiaries to us, engage in transactions with affiliates, designate subsidiaries as unrestricted or restricted, and consolidate merge, amalgamate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. 4.625% and 4.875% Senior Notes The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our present and future senior indebtedness, senior to all our future subordinated indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all of our present and future senior secured indebtedness (including all borrowings with respect to the Credit Facilities to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness). Interest on the Senior Notes is due semiannually. Upon a change of control, we must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem all or a portion of the 4.625% Senior Notes at any time on or after November 1, 2021, at declining prices starting at 102.313%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem all or a portion of the 4.875% Senior Notes at any time on or after November 1, 2021, at declining prices starting at 102.438%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to November 1, 2021, we may redeem Senior Notes of either series, in whole at any time or in part, from time to time, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of either series of Senior Notes on or prior to November 1, 2019 in an aggregate amount equal to the net proceeds from certain equity offerings at redemption prices equal to 104.625% for the 4.625% Senior Notes and 104.875% for the 4.875% Senior Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Lamb Weston’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the Credit Agreement.

In November 2016, we recorded $37.3 million of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the debt issuances described above as a reduction of long-term debt. Conagra paid $25.4 million of the debt issuance costs, we paid $9.6 million and have accrued $2.3 million. We amortize the $37.3 million of costs in interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loans. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016, we recorded $0.3 million of amortization expense in “Interest expense” in our Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Since the Separation, we have paid $0.9 million of interest on debt. Notes Payable In 2016, our Tai Mei Potato (Tai Mei Potato Industry Limited) subsidiary increased its credit facility $20.0 million to approximately $58.0 million. The facility consists of an overdraft line, a fixed asset commitment and a working capital facility. Borrowings under the facilities bear interest at either 85%, 95% or 105% of the Peoples Bank of China rate (4.35% at November 27, 2016) and may be prepaid without penalty. We guarantee the full amount of our subsidiary’s obligations to the financial institution up to the maximum amount of the credit facility. As of November 27, 2016, $25.2 million was drawn on the facility and recorded in “Notes payable” in our Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheet.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS | 12. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS Prior to the Separation Date, Lamb Weston employees participated in Conagra’s equity incentive plans, which issued equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units. In addition, certain Lamb Weston employees participated in Conagra’s employee stock purchase plan. All awards granted under these plans consisted of Conagra common shares. Lamb Weston’s Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Earnings reflect compensation expense for these stock-based plans associated with the portion of Conagra’s incentive plans in which Lamb Weston employees participated and an allocation of stock-based compensation costs of certain Conagra employees who provided general and administrative services on our behalf. After the Separation Date, outstanding awards granted to Lamb Weston employees under Conagra’s equity incentive plans were converted into Lamb Weston awards under Lamb Weston’s equity incentive plans based on a conversion ratio. The conversion ratio was calculated based on the average of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) per share of Conagra common stock for each of the five trading days ending with the second trading day immediately prior to November 9, divided by the VWAP per share of Lamb Weston common stock for the five trading days beginning with the first trading day immediately following the Separation Date, or November 10, 2016. On November 8, 2016, the Board of Directors adopted the Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the Plan, equity awards, including stock options, cash and stock-settled restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and performance-based restricted stock units, may be granted to our directors, officers, and employees. At November 27, 2016, we had 10.0 million shares authorized under our equity incentive plans, and 8.4 million were available for future grant. Forfeitures are added back to the pool of shares of common stock available to be granted at a future date.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | |
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Lamb Weston’s operations are exposed to market risks from adverse changes in commodity prices affecting the cost of raw materials and energy, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. In the normal course of business, these risks are managed through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Commodity and commodity index futures and option contracts are used from time to time to economically hedge commodity input prices on items such as natural gas, vegetable oils, packaging materials, and electricity. Historically, Conagra economically hedged a portion of Lamb Weston’s anticipated consumption of commodity inputs for periods of up to 36 months. In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, Lamb Weston enters into forward exchange, option, or swap contracts from time to time for transactions denominated in a currency other than the applicable functional currency. This includes, but is not limited to, hedging against foreign currency risk in purchasing inventory and capital equipment, sales of finished goods, and future settlement of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities. Prior to the Separation, Conagra exited all derivative instruments that were used to economically hedge portions of Lamb Weston’s foreign currency risk in anticipated transactions. The effect of exiting these positions was insignificant to our second quarter fiscal 2017 results. Economic Hedges of Forecasted Cash Flows Lamb Weston does not generally designate commodity derivatives to achieve hedge accounting treatment. We reflect realized and unrealized gains and losses from derivatives used to economically hedge anticipated commodity consumption in earnings immediately within cost of sales. Prior to the Separation, Conagra entered into certain commodity and foreign exchange derivatives with a diversified group of counterparties on behalf of Lamb Weston. Conagra monitored Lamb Weston’s positions and the credit ratings of the counterparties involved and limited the amount of credit exposure to any one party. We have not incurred a material loss due to nonperformance in any period presented and do not expect to incur any such material loss. Economic Hedges of Fair Values—Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Lamb Weston may use options and cross currency swaps to economically hedge the fair value of certain monetary assets and liabilities (including intercompany balances) denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. These derivatives are marked-to-market with gains and losses immediately recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. These substantially offset the foreign currency transaction gains or losses recognized as values of the monetary assets or liabilities being economically hedged change. All derivative instruments are recognized in our Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value (refer to Note 15, Fair Value Measurements for additional information related to fair value measurements). The fair value of derivative assets are recognized within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”, while the fair value of derivative liabilities are recognized within “Accrued liabilities”. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, Lamb Weston offsets certain derivative asset and liability balances where master netting agreements provide for legal right of setoff. No collateral was received or pledged in connection with these agreements. Derivative assets and liabilities were reflected in Lamb Weston’s Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets as follows (dollars in millions): November 27, May 29, 2016 2016 Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ — $ Accrued liabilities $ $ The following table presents Lamb Weston’s derivative assets and liabilities, at November 27, 2016, on a gross basis (dollars in millions): Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Commodity contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ — Accrued liabilities $ The following table presents Lamb Weston’s derivative assets and liabilities, at May 29, 2016, on a gross basis, prior to the setoff of $0.1 million where legal right of setoff existed (dollars in millions): Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Commodity contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ Accrued liabilities $ Foreign exchange contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets Accrued liabilities — $ $ The location and amount of gains (losses) from derivatives in Lamb Weston’s Condensed Combined and Consolidated Statements of Earnings were as follows (dollars in millions): Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized on Derivatives in Combined Statement of Earnings Location in Consolidated for the Thirteen Weeks Ended Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Statement of Earnings of Gain November 27, November 29, Instruments (Loss) Recognized on Derivatives 2016 2015 Commodity contracts Cost of sales $ $ Foreign exchange contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses — Total loss from derivative instruments not designed as hedging instruments $ $ Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized on Derivatives in Combined Statement of Earnings Location in Consolidated for the Twenty-Six Weeks Ended Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Statement of Earnings of Gain November 27, November 29, Instruments (Loss) Recognized on Derivatives 2016 2015 Commodity contracts Cost of sales $ $ Foreign exchange contracts Selling, general and administrative expenses Total loss from derivative instruments not designed as hedging instruments $ $ As of November 27, 2016, Lamb Weston had no open derivative contracts.

The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2—Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting Lamb Weston’s own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values of Lamb Weston’s Level 2 derivative instruments were determined using valuation models that use market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent commodity and foreign currency option and forward contracts. The following table presents Lamb Weston’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, as of November 27, 2016 (dollars in millions): As of November 27, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Deferred compensation assets $ $ — $ — $ Total assets — — Liabilities: Derivative liabilities — — Deferred compensation liabilities — — Total liabilities $ $ $ — $ The following table presents Lamb Weston’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, as of May 29, 2016 (dollars in millions): As of May 29, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Derivative assets $ $ $ — $ Deferred compensation assets — — Total assets — Liabilities: Derivative liabilities — — Deferred compensation liabilities — — Total liabilities $ $ $ — $ Certain assets and liabilities, including long-lived assets, goodwill, asset retirement obligations, and cost and equity investments are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. At November 27, 2016, we had $1,698.8 million of fixed-rate and $682.0 million of variable-rate long-term debt outstanding. Based on current market rates, the fair value of our fixed-rate debt at November 27, 2016 was estimated to be $1,675.9 million. Any differences between the book value and fair value are due to the difference between the period-end market interest rate and the stated rate of our fixed-rate debt. We estimated the fair value of our fixed-rate debt using quoted market prices (Level 2 inputs) within the fair value hierarchy, that is described above. The fair value of our variable-rate term debt approximates the carrying amount as our cost of borrowing is variable and approximates current market prices. |

BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION | |
BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION | 16. BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION We have four operating segments, each of which are reportable segments: Global, Retail, Foodservice, and Other. Our chief operating decision maker receives periodic management reporting under this structure that generally focuses on the nature and scope of the customers’ business, which enables operating decisions, performance assessment, and resource allocation decisions at the segment level. The reportable segments are each managed by a general manager and supported by a cross functional team assigned to support the segment. We measure our segments’ product contribution margin, which is defined as net sales, less cost of sales and advertising and promotion expenses and excludes general corporate expenses, interest, and taxes. See Note 19, Business Segments and Related Information, of the Notes to Combined Financial Statements included in the Form 10 for more information.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses include all selling, general and administrative expenses other than advertising and promotions expenses. (b) The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 include $9.0 million and $18.7 million, respectively, of pretax expenses related to the separation of Lamb Weston from Conagra. The expenses related primarily to professional fees. Assets by Segment The manufacturing assets of Lamb Weston are shared across all reporting segments. Output from these facilities used by each reporting segment can change from fiscal year to fiscal year. Therefore, it is impracticable to allocate those assets to the reporting segments, as well as disclose total assets by segment. Other Information Lamb Weston’s largest customer, McDonald’s Corporation, accounted for approximately 12% of consolidated net sales for both the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively, and approximately 11% of consolidated net sales for both the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015. |

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS | |
COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS | 17. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We have financial commitments and obligations that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These include long-term debt (discussed in Note 11, Debt and Financing Obligations), lease obligations, purchase commitments for goods and services, and legal proceedings (discussed below). Guarantees and Indemnifications We provide guarantees, indemnifications, and other assurances to third parties in the normal course of our business. These include tort indemnifications, environmental assurances, and representations and warranties in commercial agreements. At November 27, 2016 , we are not aware of any material liabilities arising from any guarantee, indemnification, or financial assurance we have provided. If we determined such a liability was probable and subject to reasonable determination, we would accrue for it at that time. In certain limited situations, Lamb Weston will guarantee an obligation of an unconsolidated entity. At the time in which Lamb Weston initially provides such a guarantee, Lamb Weston assesses the risk of financial exposure to Lamb Weston under these agreements. Lamb Weston considers the credit-worthiness of the guaranteed party, the value of any collateral pledged against the related obligation, and any other factors that may mitigate Lamb Weston’s risk. Lamb Weston actively monitors market and entity-specific conditions that may result in a change of Lamb Weston’s assessment of the risk of loss under these agreements. Lamb Weston is a party to various potato purchase supply agreements with growers, under which they deliver their potato crop from the contracted acres to Lamb Weston during the harvest season, and pursuant to the potato supply agreements, pricing for this inventory is determined after delivery, taking into account crop size and quality, among other factors. Lamb Weston paid $104.6 million and $101.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively, and $123.1 million and $118.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, respectively, under the terms of the potato supply agreements. Amounts paid are initially capitalized in inventory and charged to cost of sales as related inventories are produced and subsequently sold. Under the terms of such potato supply agreements, Lamb Weston has guaranteed repayment of short-term bank loans of the potato suppliers, under certain conditions. At November 27, 2016, the amount of supplier loans Lamb Weston has effectively guaranteed was $27.8 million. Lamb Weston has not established a liability for these guarantees, as Lamb Weston has determined that the likelihood of Lamb Weston’s required performance under the guarantees is remote. Under certain other potato supply agreements, Lamb Weston makes advances to growers prior to the delivery of potatoes. There were no advances at November 27, 2016 and $15.7 million at May 29, 2016. Federal income tax credits were generated related to Lamb Weston’s sweet potato production facility in Delhi, Louisiana. Third parties invested in certain of these income tax credits. Conagra has guaranteed these third parties the face value of these income tax credits over their statutory lives, through fiscal 2017, in the event that the income tax credits are recaptured or reduced. The face value of the income tax credits was $26.7 million at November 27, 2016. Lamb Weston believes the likelihood of the recapture or reduction of the income tax credits is remote, and therefore Lamb Weston has not established a liability in connection with this guarantee. Lamb-Weston/Meijer, a joint venture (see Note 8, Investments in Joint Ventures for further information), headquartered in the Netherlands, manufactures and sells frozen potato products principally in Europe. Lamb Weston and Lamb Weston’s partner are jointly and severally liable for all legal liabilities of Lamb-Weston/Meijer. As of November 27, 2016 and May 29, 2016, the total liabilities of Lamb-Weston/Meijer were $203.1 million and $203.7 million, respectively. Lamb-Weston/Meijer is well capitalized, with partners’ equity of $266.4 million and $284.5 million as of November 27, 2016 and May 29, 2016, respectively. Lamb Weston has not established a liability on its balance sheets for the obligations of Lamb-Weston/Meijer, as Lamb Weston has determined the likelihood of any required payment by Lamb Weston to settle such liabilities of Lamb-Weston/Meijer is remote. After taking into account liabilities recognized for all of the foregoing matters, management believes the ultimate resolution of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on Lamb Weston’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. It is reasonably possible that a change in one of the estimates of the foregoing matters may occur in the future. Legal proceedings We are also a party to other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. These legal actions include commercial liability claims, premises liability claims, and employment-related claims, among others. As of the date of this filing, we do not believe it is reasonably possible that any of the legal actions against us will, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Costs of legal services associated with the foregoing matters are recognized in earnings as services are provided. |

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited quarterly Condensed Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements present the financial results of Lamb Weston for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended November 27, 2016 and November 29, 2015, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The preparation of financial statements involves the use of estimates and accruals. Actual results may vary from those estimates. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements for periods prior to the Separation may not reflect what our results of operations would have been had we operated as a separate stand-alone company and may not be indicative of our future results of operations. These quarterly financial statements and notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in our registration statement on Form 10, as amended, on October 17, 2016 (the “Form 10”). |
New and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | New and Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . This ASU adds or clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplified the accounting for income taxes, among other changes, related to stock based compensation. Conagra (and therefore Lamb Weston) early adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 with an effective date of May 30, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued its final lease accounting standard, FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases , which requires lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheet as assets and obligations. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the effect that ASC 842 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. The standard is to be applied under the modified retrospective method, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . This ASU requires entities to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. Conagra (and therefore Lamb Weston) early adopted ASU 2015-17 effective May 30, 2016, and we have reflected our deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in our Condensed Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheets. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which addresses the measurement of inventory if its value declines or is impaired. The guidance on determining the cost of inventory is not amended. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements. The standard will be applied prospectively. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . This ASU conforms the presentation of debt issuance costs with that required for debt discounts under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Under the ASU, debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related liability rather than as an asset. We applied this guidance retrospectively, as required. No reclassifications of balances at May 29, 2016, were necessary with the adoption of ASU 2015-03. See Note 11, Debt and Financing Obligations for more information. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous industry specific requirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year so that it is now effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2019. Early adoption in fiscal year 2018 is permitted. Lamb Weston is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. There were no other accounting standards recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations . |
