CONAGRA BRANDS UPDATES FISCAL 2020 OUTLOOK;

REMAINS COMMITTED TO LONG-TERM TARGETS

Management will Present at the 2020 CAGNY Conference on Tuesday, Feb. 18th

CHICAGO, February 17, 2020 — Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG) today announced that it is revising its fiscal 2020 outlook as a result of softer than expected category performance during the company’s fiscal third quarter, which ends on February 23, 2020. Third quarter consumption declines have impacted a wide range of categories across the food industry, including categories in which Conagra Brands competes.

The Company now expects fiscal 2020 organic net sales growth to be flat to 0.5%. Adjusted operating margin is now expected to be 15.8% to 16.2%. The Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.00 to $2.07.

Sean Connolly, president and chief executive officer of Conagra Brands, commented, “Consumption softness in the quarter first emerged in the foodservice industry, with holiday restaurant traffic weaker than last year. Softness pivoted to retail in January and impacted numerous categories across food, including several in which we compete. While we planned for tougher year-over-year comparable results in the third quarter, we did not plan for this level of category softness. Accordingly, we are updating our fiscal 2020 outlook.”

Connolly continued, “Despite the unplanned third quarter consumption downturn, we remain encouraged by the health of our brands and the traction we have made on our fiscal 2020 innovation slate. We have gained share in many of our categories during the quarter and, based on our analysis, believe the recent consumption weakness is abating. We expect a resumption of year-over-year organic net sales growth in our fourth fiscal quarter.”

The Company remains committed to achieving its fiscal 2021 leverage goal. In addition, it is also committed to delivering on its fiscal 2022 targets, which have been updated for recent divestitures.

Connolly noted, “We remain confident in our brands, the proven Conagra Way playbook and the long runway of growth ahead. As such, we are reaffirming our commitment to achieving our fiscal 2021 deleveraging and delivering on our long-term fiscal 2022 targets.”

The Company’s CAGNY presentation slides will be available today, February 17, at approximately 10:00 a.m. ET on conagrabrands.com/investor-relations under Events & Presentations.

Updated Fiscal 2020 Outlook

Note that organic net sales growth continues to exclude the impact of fiscal 2020’s 53^rd week. All other metrics continue to include the impact of the 53^rd week. The Company’s updated guidance also reflects the impact of the divestiture of the Lender’s bagel business, which closed early in the third quarter.

Note onNon-GAAP Financial Measures

This document includes certain forward-lookingnon-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, organic net sales, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net interest expense, free cash flow, and adjusted effective tax rate. Management considers GAAP financial measures as well as suchnon-GAAP financial information in its evaluation of the Company’s financial statements and believes thesenon-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information to assess the Company’s operating performance and financial position. These measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Company’s diluted earnings per share, operating performance and financial measures as calculated in accordance with GAAP. Historically, the Company has excluded the impact of certain items impacting comparability, such as, but not limited to, restructuring expenses, the impact of the extinguishment of debt, the impact of foreign exchange, the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, hedging gains and losses, impairment charges, the impact of legacy legal contingencies, and the impact of unusual tax items, from thenon-GAAP financial measures it presents. Reconciliations of these forward-lookingnon-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort, due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the financial impact of such items impacting comparability and the periods in which such items may be recognized. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. Hedge gains and losses are generally aggregated, and net amounts are reclassified from unallocated corporate expense to the operating segments when the underlying commodity or foreign currency being hedged is expensed in segment cost of goods sold. The Company identifies these amounts as items that impact comparability within the discussion of unallocated Corporate results.
