for the quarter ended June 28, 2014 (unaudited)

Note 1 Accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects normal recurring adjustments that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed balance sheet data at December 28, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

Accounts payable

Beginning in 2014, the Company has an agreement with a third party to provide an accounts payable tracking system which facilitates participating suppliers’ ability to monitor, and if elected, sell to designated third-party financial institutions, payment obligations of the Company. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal in entering into this agreement is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of pricing, payment terms or vendor funding, created by facilitating suppliers’ ability to sell receivables, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under this arrangement. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by this agreement for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. As of June 28, 2014, $142 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $114 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions.

New accounting standards

Presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists.In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This ASU is expected to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from lack of previously existing guidance. It applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. The Company adopted the revised guidance on a prospective basis at the beginning of its 2014 fiscal year, with no significant impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) which provides guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity would be required to apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities will have the option to apply the final standard retrospectively or use a modified retrospective method, recognizing the cumulative effect of the ASU in retained earnings at the date of initial application. An entity will not restate prior periods if it uses the modified retrospective method, but will be required to disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of the ASU as compared to the guidance in effect prior to the change, as well as reasons for significant

changes. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as whether it will use the retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption.

Note 2 Goodwill and other intangible assets

Note 3 Restructuring and cost reduction activities

The Company views its continued spending on restructuring and cost reduction activities as part of its ongoing operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving its long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a five-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation.

The Company has initiated a number of restructuring and cost reduction activities. The most recent and largest program that is currently active is Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program announced in November 2013. The program is expected to generate a significant amount of savings that will be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. The Company expects that this investment will drive future growth in revenues, gross margin, operating profit, and cash flow.

The focus of the program will be to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation. The program is expected to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories.

During the quarter ended June 28, 2014, the Company recorded total charges of $78 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $31 million being recorded in cost of goods sold (COGS) and $47 million recorded in selling, general and administrative (SGA) expense. During the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014, the Company recorded total charges of $132 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $56 million being recorded in COGS and $76 million recorded in SGA expense.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2013 the Company recorded total charges of $7 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $3 million being recorded in COGS and $4 million recorded in SGA expense. During the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2013 the Company recorded total charges of $20 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $11 million being recorded in COGS and $9 million recorded in SGA expense.

The tables below provide the details for charges across all restructuring and cost reduction activities incurred during the quarters and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 and program costs to date for programs currently active as of June 28, 2014.

For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014, and June 29, 2013, employee related costs consist primarily of severance benefits, asset related costs consist primarily of accelerated depreciation, and other costs consist primarily of third-party incremental costs related to the development and implementation of global business capabilities.

The Company currently anticipates that Project K will result in total pre-tax charges, once all phases are approved and implemented, of $1.2 to $1.4 billion, with after-tax cash costs, including incremental capital expenditures, estimated to be $900 million to $1.1 billion. The Company currently expects the charges will consist of asset-related costs totaling $450 to $500 million which will consist primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other exit-related costs; employee-related costs totaling $425 to $475 million which will include severance, pension and other termination benefits; and other costs totaling $325 to $425 million which will consist primarily of charges related to the design and implementation of global business capabilities. A significant portion of other costs are the result of the implementation of global business service centers which are intended to simplify and standardize business support processes.

The Company currently expects that total pre-tax charges will impact reportable segments as follows: U.S. Morning Foods (approximately 17%), U.S. Snacks (approximately 10%), U.S. Specialty (approximately 1%), North America Other (approximately 3%), Europe (approximately 10%), Latin America (approximately 2%), Asia-Pacific (approximately 6%), and Corporate (approximately 51%). A majority of the costs impacting Corporate relate to additional initiatives to be executed after 2014 that are currently not fully defined. As the development of these initiatives is completed, the Company will update its estimated costs by reportable segment as needed.

At June 28, 2014 reserves for all restructuring and cost reduction activities are reflected in the table below. A substantial portion of these reserves will be paid out in 2014 and 2015 related to severance payments and other costs.

Note 4 Equity

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to Kellogg Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly determined, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares consist principally of employee stock options issued by the Company, and to a lesser extent, certain contingently issuable performance shares. Basic earnings per share is reconciled to diluted earnings per share in the following tables. There were zero and 4 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014, respectively. There were 6 million and 4 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2013, respectively.

In February 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of common stock through December 2015. This authorization supersedes the April 2013 authorization and is intended to allow the Company to repurchase shares for general corporate purposes and to offset issuances for employee benefit programs.

During the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 6 million shares of common stock for a total of $329 million. During the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 8 million shares of common stock for a total of $508 million.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to shareholders. Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, fair value adjustments associated with cash flow hedges and adjustments for net experience losses and prior service cost related to employee benefit plans.

Prior service cost arising during the period consists primarily of post-employment benefits provided to certain employees previously not covered by a plan.

In May 2014, the Company issued€500 million (approximately $678 million USD at June 28, 2014, which reflects the discount and translation adjustments) of seven-year 1.75% Euro Notes due 2021, using the proceeds from these Notes for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of a portion of the Company’s commercial paper borrowings. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision.

In May 2014, the Company issued Cdn. $300 million (approximately $279 million USD at June 28, 2014, which reflects the discount and translation adjustments) of three-year 2.05% Canadian Dollar Notes due 2017, using the proceeds from these Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay the Company’s Cdn. $300 million, 2.10% Notes due May 22, 2014 at maturity. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision.

In February 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured Five-Year Credit Agreement to replace its existing unsecured Four-Year Credit Agreement, which would have expired in March 2015. The Five-Year Credit Agreement allows the Company to borrow, on a revolving credit basis, up to $2.0 billion, which includes the ability to obtain letters of credit in an aggregate stated amount not to exceed $75 million and swingline loans in aggregate principal amounts up to $200 million in U.S. dollars and $400 million in Euros. The agreement contains customary covenants and warranties, including specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens and a specified interest coverage ratio. If an event of default occurs, then, to the extent permitted, the administrative agent may terminate the commitments under the credit facility, accelerate any outstanding loans under the agreement, and demand the deposit of cash collateral equal to the lender’s letter of credit exposure plus interest.

In March 2014, the Company redeemed $150 million of its 4.0% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020, $342 million of its 3.125% U.S. Dollar Debentures due 2022 and $189 million of its 2.75% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2023. In connection with the debt redemption, the Company incurred $1 million of interest expense, offset by $8 million of accelerated gains on interest rate hedges previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and incurred $5 million of expense, recorded in Other Income, Expense (net), related to acceleration of fees on the redeemed debt and fees related to the tender offer.

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.4 billion, which effectively converts a portion of the associated U.S. Dollar Notes from fixed rate to floating rate obligations. These derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges. The effective interest rates on debt obligations resulting from the Company’s interest rate swaps as of June 28, 2014 were as follows: (a) seven-year 4.45% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2016 – 3.43%; (b) five-year

1.875% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2016 – 0.97%; (c) five-year 1.75% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2017 - 1.31%; (d) seven-year 3.25% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2018 – 1.83%; (e) ten-year 4.15% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2019 - 2.71%; (f) ten-year 4.00% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020 - 2.80%; (g) ten-year 3.125% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2022 - 2.28%.

Note 6 Stock compensation

The Company uses various equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance incentives for its global workforce. Currently, these incentives consist principally of stock options, and to a lesser extent, executive performance shares, restricted stock units and restricted stock grants. The Company also sponsors a discounted stock purchase plan in the United States and matching-grant programs in several international locations. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock to its outside directors. The interim information below should be read in conjunction with the disclosures included within the stock compensation footnote of the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company classifies pre-tax stock compensation expense in SGA expense principally within its corporate operations. For the periods presented, compensation expense for all types of equity-based programs and the related income tax benefit recognized were as follows:


	Quarter ended				Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013
Pre-tax compensation expense	$	14	$	12	$	28	$	21

Related income tax benefit	$	5	$	5	$	10	$	8

As of June 28, 2014, total stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $67 million and the weighted-average period over which this amount is expected to be recognized was 2 years.

Stock options

During the year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to eligible employees as presented in the following activity tables. Terms of these grants and the Company’s methods for determining grant-date fair value of the awards were consistent with that described within the stock compensation footnote in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted was $6.70 per share and $5.92 per share for the year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. The fair value was estimated using the following assumptions:


	Weighted- average expected volatility			Weighted- average expected term (years)		Weighted- average risk-free interest rate			Dividend yield
Grants within the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014:		15	%		7.34		2.35	%		3.00	%
Grants within the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2013:		15	%		7.44		1.49	%		2.90	%

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $33 million and $117 million for the year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively.

Performance shares

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company granted performance shares to a limited number of senior executive-level employees, which entitle these employees to receive a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date, provided cumulative three-year operating profit and internal net sales growth targets are achieved.

The 2014 target grant currently corresponds to approximately 227,000 shares, with a grant-date fair value of $54 per share. The actual number of shares issued on the vesting date could range from 0 to 200% of target, depending on actual performance achieved. Based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at June 28, 2014, the maximum future value that could be awarded to employees on the vesting date for all outstanding performance share awards was as follows:


(millions)	June 28, 2014
2012 Award	$	23
2013 Award	$	26
2014 Award	$	30

The 2011 performance share award, payable in stock, was settled at 60% of target in February 2014 for a total dollar equivalent of $3 million.

Note 7 Employee benefits

The Company sponsors a number of U.S. and foreign pension plans, as well as other nonpension postretirement and postemployment plans to provide various benefits for its employees. These plans are described within the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Components of Company plan benefit expense for the periods presented are included in the tables below.

Note 8 Income taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarters ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 were 29.0% and 29.9%, respectively. The consolidated effective tax rates for the year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 were 28.9% and 29.2%, respectively.

As of June 28, 2014, the Company classified $5 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a net current liability. Management’s estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months is comprised of the current liability balance which is expected to be settled within one year, offset by approximately $8

million of projected additions related primarily to ongoing intercompany transfer pricing activity. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant additional payments, accruals or other material deviation in this estimate.

Following is a reconciliation of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014; $62 million of this total represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods.

For the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014 the Company recognized an increase of $1 million for tax-related interest and penalties. The Company recognized no cash settlements during the current quarter. The accrual balance was $18 million at June 28, 2014.

Note 9 Derivative instruments and fair value measurements

The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged.

The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, and uses other contracts to reduce volatility in interest rates, foreign currency and commodities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions.

Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were as follows:


	June 28,		December 28,
(millions)	2014		2013
Foreign currency exchange contracts	$	652	$	517
Interest rate contracts		3,082		2,400
Commodity contracts		511		361

Total	$	4,245	$	3,278

Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, measured on a recurring basis.

Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts.

Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.

The Company’s calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. Over-the-counter commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign

currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of June 28, 2014 or December 28, 2013.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013:

The Company has elected to not offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013 would be adjusted as detailed in the following table:

During the next 12 months, the Company expects $17 million of net deferred losses reported in AOCI at June 28, 2014 to be reclassified to income, assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions requiring the Company to post collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a liability position if the Company’s credit rating is at or below BB+ (S&P), or Baa1 (Moody’s). The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position on June 28, 2014 was $67 million. If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered as of June 28, 2014, the

Company would be required to post additional collateral of $56 million. In addition, certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would be triggered in the event the Company defaults on its debt agreements. There were no collateral posting requirements as of June 28, 2014 triggered by credit-risk-related contingent features, however, there was $11 million of collateral posted in connection with reciprocal collateralization agreements as discussed under “Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements” below.

Financial instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s short-term items, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which are level 2 liabilities, is calculated based on broker quotes and was as follows at June 28, 2014:


(millions)	Fair Value		Carrying Value
Current maturities of long-term debt	$	607	$	607
Long-term debt		6,520		6,029

Total	$	7,127	$	6,636

Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on derivative financial and commodity contracts. Management believes a concentration of credit risk with respect to derivative counterparties is limited due to the credit ratings and use of master netting and reciprocal collateralization agreements with the counterparties and the use of exchange-traded commodity contracts.

Master netting agreements apply in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. Certain counterparties represent a concentration of credit risk to the Company. If those counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of derivative contracts, this would result in a loss to the Company. As of June 28, 2014, the Company was not in a significant net asset position with any counterparties with which a master netting agreement would apply.

For certain derivative contracts, reciprocal collateralization agreements with counterparties call for the posting of collateral in the form of cash, treasury securities or letters of credit if a fair value loss position to the Company or its counterparties exceeds a certain amount. In addition, the Company is required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with its open positions for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments executed with the counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. As of June 28, 2014 the Company had posted collateral of $11 million in the form of cash, which was reflected as an increase in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 28, 2014 the Company posted $16 million in margin deposits for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments, which was reflected as an increase in accounts receivable, net.

Management believes concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the generally high credit quality of the Company’s major customers, as well as the large number and geographic dispersion of smaller customers. However, the Company conducts a disproportionate amount of business with a small number of large multinational grocery retailers, with the five largest accounts encompassing approximately 28% of consolidated trade receivables at June 28, 2014.

Note 10 Contingencies

In connection with the Company’s on-going labor negotiations with the union representing the work-force at our Memphis, TN cereal production facility, the National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint alleging unfair labor practices under the National Labor Relations Act in March 2014. On July 30, 2014, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that the Memphis employees were entitled to return to work while the underlying litigation continues. This ruling is not expected to have a material effect on the production or distribution of products from the Memphis, TN facility or a material financial impact on the Company. As of June 28, 2014, the Company has not recorded a liability related to this matter due to the uncertainty of any potential outcome. The Company will continue to evaluate the likelihood of potential outcomes for this case as the litigation continues.

Note 11 Reportable segments

Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of cookies and crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit-flavored snacks and veggie foods. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally. Principal markets for these products include the United States and United Kingdom.

The Company currently manages its operations through eight operating segments that are based on product category or geographic location. These operating segments are evaluated for similarity with regards to economic characteristics, products, production processes, types or classes of customers, distribution methods and regulatory environments to determine if they can be aggregated into reportable segments. The reportable segments are discussed in greater detail below.

U.S. Morning Foods includes cereal, toaster pastries, health and wellness bars, and beverages.

U.S. Snacks includes products such as cookies, crackers, cereal bars, savory snacks and fruit-flavored snacks.

U.S. Specialty includes the food service, convenience and Girl Scouts businesses. The food service business is mostly non-commercial, servicing institutions such as schools and hospitals.

North America Other includes the U.S. Frozen and Canada operating segments. As these operating segments are not considered economically similar enough to aggregate with other operating segments and are immaterial for separate disclosure, they have been grouped together as a single reportable segment.

The three remaining reportable segments are based on geographic location – Europe, which consists principally of European countries; Latin America, which is comprised of Central and South America and includes Mexico; and Asia Pacific, which is comprised of South Africa, Australia and other Asian and Pacific markets.

The measurement of reportable segment results is based on segment operating profit which is generally consistent with the presentation of operating profit in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Intercompany transactions between operating segments were insignificant in all periods presented.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business overview

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand Kellogg Company, our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in Item 1 of this report.

For more than 100 years, consumers have counted on Kellogg for great-tasting, high-quality and nutritious foods. Kellogg is the world’s leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of cookies and crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit-flavored snacks and veggie foods. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally.

We manage our operations through eight operating segments that are based on product category or geographic location. These operating segments are evaluated for similarity with regards to economic characteristics, products, production processes, types or classes of customers, distribution methods and regulatory environments to determine if they can be aggregated into reportable segments. We report results of operations in the following reportable segments: U.S. Morning Foods; U.S. Snacks; U.S. Specialty; North America Other; Europe; Latin America; and Asia Pacific. The reportable segments are discussed in greater detail in Note 10 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We manage our Company for sustainable performance defined by our long-term annual growth targets. These targets are 3 to 4% for internal net sales, mid-single-digit (4 to 6%) for underlying internal operating profit, and high-single-digit (7 to 9%) for currency-neutral comparable diluted net earnings per share.

During 2013 we announced Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The program is expected to generate a significant amount of savings that will be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. We expect that this investment will drive future growth in revenues, gross margin, operating profit, and cash flow. See the Restructuring and cost reduction activities section for more information.

Comparability

Internal net sales growth excludes the impact of foreign currency translation and, if applicable, acquisitions, dispositions and integration costs associated with the acquisition of thePringles^® business (Pringles).

Comparability of certain financial measures is impacted significantly by two types of charges: 1) Mark-to-market adjustments that are recorded for pensions and commodity derivative contracts; and 2) Charges related to restructuring and cost reduction activities. To provide increased transparency and assist in understanding our underlying operating performance we use non-GAAP financial measures within the MD&A that exclude the impact of these charges. These non-GAAP financial measures include underlying gross margin, underlying gross profit, underlying SGA%, underlying operating margin, underlying operating profit, underlying operating profit growth, underlying income taxes, underlying effective tax rate, and underlying net income attributable to Kellogg Company.

Underlying internal operating profit growth excludes the impact of foreign currency translation and, if applicable, acquisitions, dispositions, integration costs associated with the acquisition of Pringles, mark-to-market adjustments, and charges related to restructuring and cost reduction activities.

Additionally, integration costs associated with the acquisition of Pringles are excluded from comparable basic earnings per share (EPS), comparable diluted EPS, and comparable diluted EPS growth.

Financial results

For the quarter ended June 28, 2014, our reported net sales declined by 0.8% and internal net sales declined by 1.5%. We experienced internal net sales declines in U.S. Morning Foods, U.S. Snacks, and North America Other. Internal net sales grew in Europe, U.S. Specialty, Latin America and Asia Pacific. Reported operating profit declined by 18.1%, and underlying internal operating profit declined by 7.2%. The decline in internal profit was driven by softer sales primarily in U.S. Morning Foods and U.S. Snacks, inflation in cost of goods sold, and increased investment in brand-building. This was partially offset by continued discipline overhead control.

Reported diluted EPS of $.82 for the quarter was down 14.6% compared to the prior year of $.96. Comparable diluted EPS of $1.02 for the quarter was flat to prior year.

(a)

Includes mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans and commodity contracts as reflected in cost of goods sold. Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur. A portion of these mark-to-market adjustments were capitalized as inventoriable cost at the end of 2013 and 2012. These amounts have been recognized in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, there were no pension mark-to-market adjustments recognized. Mark-to-market adjustments for commodities reflect the changes in the fair value of contracts for the difference between contract and market prices for the underlying commodities. The resulting gains/losses are recognized in the quarter they occur.

(b)

Costs incurred related primarily to the execution of Project K, a global four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The focus of the program will be to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation. The program is expected to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories. The 2013 periods presented have been recast to exclude all restructuring and cost reduction activities from underlying and comparable results. Previously, only costs associated with Project K were excluded from underlying and comparable results.

(c)

Underlying operating profit, underlying income taxes, underlying effective income tax rate, and underlying net income attributable to Kellogg Company are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of pension and commodity mark-to-market adjustments and restructuring and cost reduction activities. We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding underlying operating performance. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled directly to the comparable measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table.

(d)	Comparable EPS is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on pension plans and commodity contracts, the impact of Project K costs, and the impact of integration costs related to the acquisition of the Pringles business.

(a)	Includes impact of integration costs associated with the Pringles acquisition.

(b)

Internal net sales growth for 2014 excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, integration costs and impact of foreign currency translation. Internal net sales growth is a non-GAAP financial measure which is reconciled to the directly comparable measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP within these tables.

(c)

(d)

(e)

Underlying internal operating profit growth excludes the impact of foreign currency translation, pension plans and commodity contracts mark-to-market adjustments, costs related to restructuring and cost reduction activities, and if applicable, acquisitions, dispositions, and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Pringles. We believe the use of this non-GAAP measure provides increased transparency and assists in understanding underlying operating performance. This non-GAAP measure is reconciled to the directly comparable measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table.

Internal net sales for U.S. Morning Foods declined 4.9% as a result of decreased volume and pricing/mix. This segment consists of cereal, toaster pastries, health and wellness bars, and beverages. The cereal category continued to decline during the quarter, resulting in a sales decline for several of our brands. Despite this category performance,Raisin Bran^®,Rice Krispies^®, andFroot Loops^®, reported consumption favorable to the category trends. We saw weakness inSpecial K^® as it faces headwinds from evolving consumer trends regarding weight management. As a result, we are actively communicating the nutritional benefits ofSpecial K^® such as the presence of positive nutrition like protein, fiber, grains and other relevant nutritional benefits. We began investing behind category-building messaging in the quarter. However, we expect our cereal consumption to remain down over the remainder of the year. Toaster pastries reported a sales decline for the quarter as a result of difficult comparisons due to innovations launched in 2013. Beverages continued to report increased consumption resulting from expanded distribution and innovations.

Internal net sales in U.S. Snacks declined 2.7% as a result of decreased volume partially offset by favorable pricing/mix. This segment consists of crackers, cereal bars, cookies, savory snacks, and fruit-flavored snacks. The U.S. Snacks business has benefited from improved in-store execution in the current quarter, resulting in sales growth for crackers and savory snacks. Crackers posted sales growth and share gains as a result of the success of recent innovations.Cheez-It^®,Townhouse^®, andClub^® all reported solid consumption and share gains. The bars business declined for the quarter due to weakness in theSpecial K^® andFiber Plus^® brands. However,Rice Krispies Treats^®, and Nutri-grain^® gained share as innovations delivered good results. We saw weakness in theSpecial K^® brand as it faces headwinds from evolving consumer trends regarding weight management. We are working on new products and have more activity planned for the second half. However, we expect this segment to remain challenging for the balance of the year. The cookies business declined in the quarter as theKeebler^® business in total posted a decline in consumption, although it maintained share. In addition, we experienced soft performance in our 100-calorie packs business, and a SKU rationalization initiative negatively impacted sales with impacts expected through the end of the year. Savory snacks reported solid sales growth and consumption gains for the quarter behind the performance of the core business and thePringles^® tortilla innovations.

Internal net sales in U.S. Specialty increased 1.4% as a result of increased volume and favorable pricing/mix. Sales growth was reported across the foodservice, convenience, and vending channels as a result of innovations, distribution gains and successful promotions.

Internal net sales in North America Other (U.S. Frozen and Canada) declined 4.9% due to decreased volume and unfavorable pricing/mix. The U.S. Frozen business reported a decline partially as a result of lapping high single-digit internal net sales growth in the prior year primarily due to the launch ofSpecial K^® flatbread sandwiches. Canada reported a decline in sales due to unfavorable pricing despite growing share in most categories.

Internal net sales for Europe increased 0.7% as a result of increased volume partially offset by unfavorable pricing/mix. Cereal category consumption remains soft in most developed markets. We realized good growth in emerging markets. In the second quarter, we selectively introduced müesli on the Continent which is tied to broader brand-building activity. We also launchedSpecial K Granola across the region, which is also supported by strong programs. Tying all this together is a brand-building campaign we call Origins. This campaign helps consumers make the connection between our food and its origins, and highlights the foods’ natural ingredients and simplicity. Savory snacks continued to report consumption and share growth and we have activity planned forPringles^® across the region. Latin America’s internal net sales improved 6.9% due to favorable pricing/mix which was partially offset by decreased volume. Strong pricing gains were realized in our three largest markets as innovations continue to perform well and we have realized improving trends in growth as the impact of the food tax introduced in Mexico earlier in the year begins to soften. Internal net sales in Asia Pacific increased 0.5% as a result of favorable pricing/mix which was partially offset by decreased volume. The sales increase was the result of growth in most markets, including Japan, India, and South Korea. This sales performance was partially offset by continued weakness in the Australian cereal category and our performance in South Africa. In South Africa, we conducted construction work and it took longer to bring the plant back in line than expected. This impacted our ability to supply the market. It is important to note that the plant is producing once again. The savory snacks business reported solid growth in Asia Pacific as expansion into India and new listings expanded our business.

Underlying internal operating profit in U.S. Morning Foods declined 13.5% due to the unfavorable sales performance and a mid-single-digit increase in advertising investment which was partially offset by continued discipline in overhead control. U.S. Snacks declined by 5.0% due to unfavorable sales performance and cost inflation, net of cost savings initiatives, within cost of goods sold. U.S. Specialty declined by 0.1% as a result of cost inflation, net of cost savings initiatives, within cost of goods sold which was partially offset by favorable sales performance. North America Other declined 10.9% primarily due to unfavorable sales performance which was partially offset by cost deflation, net of cost savings initiatives, within cost of goods sold and continued discipline in overhead control. Europe improved 5.1% due to the favorable sales performance, cost deflation, net of cost savings initiatives, within cost of goods sold and continued discipline in overhead control. This was partially offset by increased brand building investment in support of our cereal category-building messaging. Latin America improved by 6.0% due to favorable sales performance resulting from strong pricing realization which was partially offset by cost inflation, net of cost savings initiatives, within cost of goods sold. Asia Pacific declined by 65.2% due to a double-digit increase in brand-building investment and our performance in South Africa. In South Africa, we conducted construction work and it took longer to bring the plant back in line than expected. This increased cost of goods sold and impacted our ability to supply the market. It is important to note that the plant is producing once again.

Underlying internal operating profit for Corporate improved as a result of reduced pension costs being partially offset by increased overhead investments.

Year-to-date internal net sales for U.S. Morning Foods declined 5.2% due to weakness in both the cereal and toaster pastries categories. We are investing behind cereal category-building messaging, but expect that cereal category consumption will be down for the remainder of the year.

U.S. Snacks year-to-date internal net sales declined approximately 1.2% due to declines in our bars business, soft performance in our 100-calorie packs business, and a SKU rationalization initiative which negatively impacted sales. Crackers and savory snacks have posted solid growth resulting from innovations and improved in-store execution.

U.S. Specialty year-to-date internal net sales declined by 0.4% as foodservice growth in the second quarter partially offset the declines realized in the first quarter due to the negative impact weather had on our foodservice business. The convenience business has continued to grow throughout the first half of the year resulting from successful innovations and distribution gains.

North America Other year-to-date internal net sales declined by 3.5% due primarily to the U.S. Frozen business reporting sales declines resulting partially from comparisons to strong prior-year growth behind innovation activity.

Europe’s year-to-date internal net sales declined by 0.5% due to softness in the cereal category in most developed markets, partially offset by general consumption growth realized in emerging markets. Savory snacks reported consumption and share growth during the first half of the year. Latin America’s year-to-date internal net sales improved by 0.8% as strong price realization in the second quarter more than offset sales declines in the first quarter resulting from the volume elasticity impact of the introduction of a new food tax in Mexico. Year-to-date internal net sales for Asia Pacific declined by 0.5% due primarily to the weakness in the Australian cereal category and our performance in South Africa. In South Africa, we conducted construction work and it took longer to bring the plant back in line than expected. This impacted our ability to supply the market. It is important to note that the plant is producing once again. Most other countries in this segment reported solid growth.

Year-to-date internal operating profit has declined in U.S. Morning Foods as a result of unfavorable sales performance, and a mid-single-digit increase in advertising investment which was partially offset by continued discipline in overhead control. U.S. Snacks declined as a result of unfavorable sales performance and net inflation within cost of goods sold. U.S. Specialty increased as a result of improved gross margin and reduced consumer promotions. North America Other declined due to unfavorable sales performance which was partially offset by cost deflation, net of cost savings initiatives, within cost of goods sold and favorable timing of advertising investment. Europe increased due to cost deflation, net of cost savings initiatives, within cost of goods sold, and continued discipline in overhead control. This was partially offset by the unfavorable sales performance and increased brand-building investment. Latin America improved due to favorable sales performance and favorable timing of brand-building investment. This was partially offset by cost inflation, net of cost savings initiatives, within cost of goods sold and increased overhead investment. Asia Pacific declined due to the weakness in the Australian cereal category, our performance in South Africa, and increased brand-building investment. In South Africa, we conducted construction work and it took longer to bring the plant back in line than expected. This impacted our ability to supply the market. It is important to note that the plant is producing once again.

Margin performance

Margin performance for the quarter and year-to-date periods of 2014 versus 2013 is as follows:

(d)

Underlying gross margin, underlying SGA%, and underlying operating margin are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of pension and commodity mark-to-market adjustments and restructuring and cost reduction activities. We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding our underlying operating performance.

Underlying gross margin for the quarter declined 60 basis points due to lower production volume resulting from soft sales performance, timing of cost-inflation, and increased integration costs. Underlying SG&A % was flat as a result of increased advertising investment which was offset by reduced integration costs and reduced overhead investments.

On a year-to-date basis, underlying gross margin declined 20 basis points due to lower production volume resulting from soft sales performance and timing of cost-inflation, which was partially offset by favorable product mix. Underlying SG&A % was flat as increased advertising investment was offset by reduced integration costs and reduced overhead investments.

Our underlying gross profit, underlying SG&A, and underlying operating profit measures are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure as follows:

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency for our financial statements is the U.S. dollar. Certain of our assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the euro, British pound, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Venezuelan bolivar fuerte and Russian ruble. To prepare our consolidated financial statements, we must translate those assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. As a result, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against these other currencies will affect the amount of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. This could have a significant impact on our results if such increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar is substantial.

Restructuring and cost reduction activities

We view continued spending on restructuring and cost reduction activities as part of our ongoing operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving our long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a five-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation.

We have initiated a number of restructuring and cost reduction activities. The most recent and largest program that is currently active is Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program announced in November 2013. The program is expected to generate a significant amount of savings that will be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. We expect that this investment will drive future growth in revenues, gross margin, operating profit, and cash flow.

For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 employee related costs consist primarily of severance benefits, asset related costs consist primarily of accelerated depreciation, and other costs consist primarily of third-party incremental costs related to the development and implementation of global business capabilities.

We currently anticipate that Project K will result in total pre-tax charges, once all phases are approved and implemented, of $1.2 to $1.4 billion, with after-tax cash costs, including incremental capital expenditures, estimated to be $900 million to $1.1 billion. Cash expenditures, after tax and including incremental capital, of approximately $101 million were incurred in the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014. Future cash expenditures, as defined, are expected to be approximately $300 to $400 million in 2014 and the balance of $570 to $670 million thereafter. We currently expect the charges will consist of asset-related costs totaling $450 to $500 million which will consist primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other exit-related costs; employee-related costs totaling $425 to $475 million which will include severance, pension and other termination benefits; and other costs totaling $325 to $425 million which will consist primarily of charges related to the design and implementation of global business capabilities. A significant portion of other costs are the result of the implementation of global business service centers which are intended to simplify and standardize business support processes.

We currently expect that total pre-tax charges will impact reportable segments as follows: U.S. Morning Foods (approximately 17%), U.S. Snacks (approximately 10%), U.S. Specialty (approximately 1%), North America Other (approximately 3%), Europe (approximately 10%), Latin America (approximately 2%), Asia-Pacific (approximately 6%), and Corporate (approximately 51%). A majority of the costs impacting Corporate relate to additional initiatives to be executed after 2014 that are currently not fully defined. As the development of these initiatives is completed, we will update its estimated costs by reportable segment as needed.

We expect annual cost savings generated from Project K will be approximately $425 to $475 million by 2018, with approximately two-thirds of the cost savings to be realized in cost of goods sold. We realized $15 million of savings in 2013 and expect $60 to $70 million of savings in 2014, approximately 40% of which will come from cost of goods sold. Cost savings will be reinvested into the business through additional investments in advertising, in-store execution, and in the design and quality of our products. We will also invest in production capacity in developing and emerging markets, and in global category teams.

As a result of Project K, we anticipate that capital spending will be impacted for at least the next two years. Our current business model assumes capital spending to be approximately 3-4% of net sales annually. For the next two years, capital spending is expected to be approximately 4-5% as a result of Project K activities.

Due to the difference in timing between expected cash costs for the project and expected future cash savings, we anticipate funding the project through a combination of cash on hand and short-term debt.

We also expect that the project will have an impact on our consolidated effective income tax rate during the execution of the project due to the timing of charges being taken in different tax jurisdictions. The impact of this project on our consolidated effective income tax rate will be excluded from the underlying income tax rate that will be disclosed on a quarterly basis.

At June, 28, 2014 reserves for all restructuring and cost reduction activities are reflected in the table below. A substantial portion of these reserves will be paid out in 2014 and 2015 related to severance payments and other costs.

Interest expense

For the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014, interest expense was $50 million and $102 million, respectively, as compared to the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 29, 2013 with interest expense of $61 million and $121 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense from the prior year is due primarily to the repayment of debt replaced by a combination of lower yield debt and commercial paper.

For the full year 2014, we expect gross interest expense to be approximately $210-$220 million, compared to 2013’s full year interest expense of $235 million.

Income taxes

Our reported effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 were 29.0% and 29.9%, respectively. Underlying effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 were 28.7% and 29.9%, respectively. Refer to Note 8 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

For the full year 2014, we currently expect the reported effective income tax rate to be 29% to 30%. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could impact the expected effective income tax rate as it is dependent upon U.S. dollar earnings of foreign subsidiaries doing business in various countries with differing statutory rates. Additionally, the rate could be impacted if pending uncertain tax matters, including tax positions that could be affected by planning initiatives, are resolved more or less favorably than we currently expect.

Liquidity and capital resources

Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows supplemented by borrowings for major acquisitions and other significant transactions. Our cash-generating capability is one of our fundamental strengths and provides us with substantial financial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows:


	Year-to-date period ended
	June 28,			June 29,
(millions)	2014			2013
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	654		$	705
Investing activities		(226	)		(239	)
Financing activities		(408	)		(480	)
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents		(3	)		(5	)

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	17		$	(19	)

Operating activities

The principal source of our operating cash flow is net earnings, meaning cash receipts from the sale of our products, net of costs to manufacture and market our products.

Net cash provided by our operating activities for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014 amounted to $654 million, a decrease of $51 million compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease compared to the prior year is primarily due to higher levels of trade receivables, partially offset by lower investments in inventories (excluding mark-to-market pension costs) and higher accounts payable and advertising and promotion liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 were negatively impacted by $63 million and $11 million of after-tax Project K cash payments, respectively.

Our cash conversion cycle (defined as days of inventory, excluding inventoriable mark-to-market pensions costs, and trade receivables outstanding less days of trade payables outstanding, based on a trailing 12 month average) is relatively short, equating to approximately 30 days and 29 days for the 12 month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. Compared with the 12 month period ended June 29, 2013, the 2014 cash conversion cycle was relatively consistent for inventory and trade payables with an unfavorable increase in trade receivables.

Our pension and other postretirement benefit plan contributions amounted to $37 million and $36 million for the year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. For the full year 2014, we currently expect that our contributions to pension and other postretirement plans will total approximately $57 million. Plan funding strategies may be modified in response to our evaluation of tax deductibility, market conditions and competing investment alternatives.

We measure cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases. Our cash flow metric is reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure, as follows:


	Year-to-date period ended
(millions)	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			Change versus prior year
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	654		$	705			(7.2	)%
Additions to properties		(226	)		(238	)
Cash flow	$	428		$	467			(8.4	)%

For the full-year 2014, we are projecting cash flow (as defined) to be approximately $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion.

Investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities, primarily consisting of additions to properties, for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014 amounted to $226 million compared to $239 million in the same period of 2013. For the full-year 2014, we project capital spending to be between 4% and 5% of net sales.

Financing activities

Our net cash used in financing activities for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014 amounted to $408 million compared to $480 million in the same period of 2013.

In March 2014, we retired an aggregate of $681 million of our 2020, 2022 and 2023 debt through a tender offer, which was primarily funded by commercial paper. In connection with the debt redemption, we incurred $1 million of interest expense, offset by $8 million of accelerated gains on interest rate hedges previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and recorded $5 million in Other Income, Expense (net), related to acceleration of deferred fees on the redeemed debt and fees related to the tender offer. These charges were included in cash flows for operating activities.

In May 2014, we issued Cdn. $300 million of long-term debt using the proceeds to retire Cdn. $300 million of long-term debt at maturity.

In May 2014, we issued€500 million of long-term debt using the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of a portion of our commercial paper.

In February 2013, we issued long-term debt for net proceeds of approximately $645 million and in March 2013, retired $749 million of long-term debt at maturity.

In December 2012, our board of directors approved a $300 million share repurchase program for 2013. In April 2013, the board of directors approved a $1 billion share repurchase program expiring in April 2014. In February 2014, the board of directors approved a new authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion in shares through December 2015. This authorization supersedes the April 2013 authorization and is intended to allow us to repurchase shares for general corporate purposes and to offset issuances for employee benefit programs. Actual repurchases could be different from our current expectations, as influenced by factors such as the impact of changes in our stock price and other competing priorities. In May 2013, we entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) Agreement with a financial institution counterparty and paid $355 million for the purchase of shares during the term of the Agreement which extended through August 2013. The total number of shares delivered upon settlement of the ASR was based upon the volume weighted average price of our company’s stock over the term of the Agreement. Total purchases in 2014 and 2013, including shares initially delivered under the ASR were 6 million shares for $329 million and 8 million shares for $508 million, respectively.

We paid cash dividends of $331 million in the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014 compared to $320 million during the same period in 2013. The increase in dividends paid reflects our third quarter 2013 increase in the quarterly dividend to $.46 per common share, from the previous $.44 per common share. In July 2014, the board of directors declared a dividend of $.49 per common share, payable on September 15, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 2, 2014. The dividend is consistent with our current plan to maintain our dividend pay-out between 40% and 50% of underlying net income.

In February 2014, we entered into an unsecured five year credit agreement expiring in 2019, which allows us to borrow, in a revolving credit basis, up to $2.0 billion. This agreement replaced our unsecured four year credit agreement, which would have expired in March 2015.

We are evaluating alternatives to refinance our existing notes payable on a longer-term basis.

We are in compliance with all debt covenants. We continue to believe that we will be able to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations and maintain our debt covenants for the foreseeable future. We expect our access to public debt and commercial paper markets, along with operating cash flows, will be adequate to meet future operating, investing and financing needs, including the pursuit of selected acquisitions.

Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods

identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities will have the option to apply the final standard retrospectively or use a modified retrospective method, recognizing the cumulative effect of the ASU in retained earnings at the date of initial application. An entity will not restate prior periods if it uses the modified retrospective method, but will be required to disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of the ASU as compared to the guidance in effect prior to the change, as well as reasons for significant changes. We will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on our financial statements and disclosures, as well as whether we will use the retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our Company is exposed to certain market risks, which exist as a part of our ongoing business operations. We use derivative financial and commodity instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Refer to Note 9 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative financial and commodity instruments.

Refer to disclosures contained within Item 7A of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than changes noted here, there have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk as of June 28, 2014.

In February 2014, we entered into forward starting interest swaps with notional amounts totaling $690 million, as a hedge against interest rate volatility associated with a forecasted issuance of fixed rate debt to fund the repayment of commercial paper and for general corporate purposes. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. These forward starting interest swaps were settled in May 2014 upon the related issuance of fixed rate debt. A resulting loss of $17 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the related fixed rate debt. Refer to Note 5 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the fixed rate debt issuance.

In June 2014, we entered into forward starting interest swaps with notional amounts totaling $682 million, as a hedge against interest rate volatility associated with a forecasted issuance of fixed rate debt to be used for general corporate purposes. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges.

The total notional amount of interest rate swaps at June 28, 2014 was $3.1 billion, with a fair value of the related liability of $33 million. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps at December 28, 2013 was $2.4 billion, with a fair value of the related liability of $59 million. Assuming average variable rate debt levels during the year, a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $37 million at June 28, 2014 and $35 million at December 28, 2013.

Venezuela was designated as a highly inflationary economy as of the beginning of our 2010 fiscal year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies are recorded in earnings. In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced a 46.5% devaluation of the official CADIVI (now named CENCOEX) exchange rate from 4.3 bolivars to 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, the Transaction System for Foreign Currency Denominated Securities (SITME), used between May 2010 and January 2013 to translate our Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements to U.S. dollars, was eliminated. Accordingly, in February 2013 we began using the CENCOEX exchange rate to translate our Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements to U.S. dollars and in the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2013, we recognized a $14 million charge as a result of the devaluation of the CENCOEX exchange rate. The CENCOEX exchange is restricted to some raw materials, finished goods, and machinery for sectors considered as national priorities, which is primarily food and medicines.

In March, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced a new auction-based currency transaction program referred to as SICAD1. SICAD1 allows entities in specific sectors to bid for U.S. dollars to be used for specified import transactions, with the minimum exchange rate to be offered being 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. As of June 28, 2014, the published SICAD1 rate offered was 10.6 bolivars to the U.S. dollar and availability of U.S. dollars at either exchange rate continues to be limited.

In January, 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the expansion of the SICAD1 auction program to prospective dividends and royalties and new profit margin controls. As our Venezuelan subsidiary declares dividends or pays royalties in the future, based on the availability of U.S. dollars exchanged under the SICAD1 program, the realized exchange losses on payments made in U.S. dollars would be recognized in earnings. On profit level controls, we continue to evaluate the announced measures and will look to protect net revenues and profitability.

In February 2014, the Venezuelan government announced plans to launch a third foreign exchange mechanism, known as SICAD2, which became operational on March 24, 2014. SICAD2 relies on U.S. dollar cash and U.S. dollar denominated bonds offered by the Venezuelan Central Bank, PDVSA (the national oil and gas company) and private companies. The Venezuelan government has indicated that all industry sectors will be able to access SICAD2 and its use will not be restricted as to purpose. As of June 28, 2014, the published SICAD2 rate was 50.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar.

In light of the current difficult macroeconomic environment in Venezuela, we continue to monitor and actively manage our investment and exposures in Venezuela. Our Venezuelan business does not rely heavily on imports and when items are imported, they are largely exchanged at the CENCOEX rate. As of June 28, 2014, we translated our Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements to U.S. dollars using the CENCOEX exchange rate. We will continue to monitor local conditions, our continued ability to obtain U.S. dollars at the CENCOEX exchange rate, and the use, if applicable, of the

SICAD1 and SICAD2 mechanisms to determine the appropriate rate for translation. For the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014, Venezuela represented approximately 2% of total net sales and 2% of total underlying operating profit. For the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2013, Venezuela represented approximately 1% of total net sales and 2% of total underlying operating profit. As of June 28, 2014, our net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar were $76 million in U.S. dollars applying the CENCOEX exchange rate. If the CENCOEX exchange rate were to devalue further or if the currently less favorable SICAD1 exchange rate were extended to apply to a greater portion of our net monetary assets in Venezuela, we could recognize a devaluation charge in earnings. The potential unfavorable fully diluted EPS impact of adopting the SICAD1 exchange rate, at the current rate of 10.6 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, would be approximately $.07 for the revaluation of our net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar at June 28, 2014, and approximately $.02 for the translation of after-tax operating profit during the remainder of 2014. We continue to monitor the currency developments in Venezuela and take protective measures against currency devaluation such as converting monetary assets into non-monetary assets which we can use in our business.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of June 28, 2014, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the first quarter of 2012, we initiated the implementation of an upgrade to our existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system within North America. This implementation has resulted in the modification of certain business processes and internal controls impacting financial reporting. During the implementation, which is expected to be completed in 2014, we have taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls impacting financial reporting. It is anticipated that, upon completion, implementation of this new ERP will enhance internal controls due to increased automation and further integration of related processes.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
