ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS |
We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquisitions have been included in our consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. We allocate the purchase price of each acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. Acquisitions may include contingent consideration, the fair value of which is estimated on the acquisition date as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using weighted probabilities of possible payments. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined primarily by using an income approach which was based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill. |

The costs related to all acquisitions have been expensed as incurred and are included in “Acquisition related expenses (credits), restructuring and integration charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $523 and $1,248 were expensed in the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, and $3,249 and $3,854 were expensed in the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The expenses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2014 primarily relate to stamp duty and additional professional fees associated with our recent acquisitions and during the first six months of fiscal 2013 primarily relate to professional fees associated with the acquisition of the UK Ambient Grocery Brands and BluePrint (as discussed below). Additionally, during the three months ended December 31, 2013, a net reduction of acquisition related expenses of $1,781 was recorded related to adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities (See Note 14). |
Fiscal 2013 |
On May 2, 2013, we acquired Ella’s Kitchen Group Limited (“Ella’s Kitchen”), a manufacturer and distributor of premium organic baby food under the Ella’s Kitchen® brand and the first company to offer baby food in convenient flexible pouches. Ella’s Kitchen offers a range of branded organic baby food products principally in the United Kingdom, the United States and Scandinavia. Ella’s Kitchen’s operations are included as part of the Company’s United States operating segment. Consideration in the transaction consisted of cash totaling £37,571, net of cash acquired (approximately $58,437 at the transaction date exchange rate) and 687,779 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $45,050. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under our Credit Agreement. |

On December 21, 2012, we acquired the assets and business of Zoe Sakoutis LLC, d/b/a BluePrint Cleanse (“BluePrint”), a nationally recognized leader in the cold-pressed juice category based in New York City, for $16,679 in cash and 174,267 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $9,525. Additionally, contingent consideration of up to a maximum of approximately $82,400 is payable based upon the achievement of specified operating results during the two annual periods ending December 31, 2013 and 2014. The Company recorded $13,491 as the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date. The BluePrint® brand, which is part of our United States operating segment, expanded our product offerings into a new category. The acquisition was funded with existing cash balances and borrowings under our Credit Agreement. |

On November 1, 2012, we completed the disposal of our sandwich business, including the Daily BreadTM brand name, in the United Kingdom. The disposal transaction resulted in an exchange of businesses, whereby the Company acquired the fresh prepared fruit products business of Superior Food Limited in the United Kingdom in exchange for the Company’s sandwich business and a cash payment of £1,000 (approximately $1,600 at the transaction date exchange rate). Refer to Note 5, Discontinued Operations, for additional information. |

On October 27, 2012, we completed the acquisition of a portfolio of market-leading packaged grocery brands including Hartley’s®, Sun-Pat®, Gale’s®, Robertson’s® and Frank Cooper’s®, together with the manufacturing facility in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom (the “UK Ambient Grocery Brands”) from Premier Foods plc. The product offerings acquired include jams, fruit spreads and jelly, peanut butter, honey and marmalade products. Consideration in the transaction consisted of £169,708 in cash (approximately $273,246 at the transaction date exchange rate) funded with borrowings under our Credit Agreement and 836,426 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $48,061. The acquisition expanded our product offerings in the United Kingdom into ambient grocery which we expect will help position the expanded business as a top food and beverage supplier in the United Kingdom. |

On August 20, 2012, we completed the sale of our private-label chilled ready meals business in the United Kingdom (the “CRM business”). Total consideration received for the sale was £9,970. We recognized a preliminary loss on disposal of $3,616 ($4,200 after-tax, which includes the write-off of certain deferred tax assets) during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, of which $2,503 ($3,086 after-tax) was recorded in the six months ended December 31, 2012 and subsequently recorded a gain of $1,148 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 related to the finalization of the working capital adjustment with the purchaser. These amounts are included within “Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 5, Discontinued Operations, for additional information. |

The purchase price allocation for Ella’s Kitchen is based upon preliminary valuations, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. Any change in the estimated fair value of the net assets, prior to the finalization of the more detailed analyses, but not to exceed one year from the dates of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocations. |

The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships valued at $46,232 with a weighted average estimated useful life of 15.6 years, a non-compete arrangement valued at $1,100 with an estimated life of 3.0 years, and trade names valued at $139,337 with indefinite lives. The goodwill represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, including use of our existing infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired business’ products. The goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisitions of the UK Ambient Grocery Brands and Ella’s Kitchen is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. |

Unaudited Proforma Results of Continuing Operations |
The following table provides unaudited pro forma results of continuing operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, as if all of the above acquisitions had been completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2013. Pro forma results of continuing operations are not provided for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 as there were no acquisitions completed during such periods. The following pro forma combined results of continuing operations have been provided for illustrative purposes only, and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the Company for the periods presented or that will be achieved by the combined company in the future. The pro forma information has been adjusted to give effect to items that are directly attributable to the transactions and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments include amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable intangible assets, interest expense associated with bank borrowings to fund the acquisitions and elimination of transactions costs incurred that are directly related to the transactions and do not have a continuing impact on operating results from continuing operations. |

This information has not been adjusted to reflect any changes in the operations of the businesses subsequent to their acquisition by us. Changes in operations of the acquired businesses include, but are not limited to, discontinuation of products and/or SKUs, integration of systems and personnel, changes in trade practices, application of our credit policies, changes in manufacturing processes or locations, and changes in marketing and advertising programs. Had any of these changes been implemented by the former managements of the businesses acquired prior to acquisition by us, the net sales and net income information might have been materially different than the actual results achieved and from the pro forma information provided. In management’s opinion, these unaudited pro forma results of operations are not intended to represent or to be indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or of future operations of the combined companies under our management. |
