All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. (b) Net earnings per share are based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable periods. The potential dilution from the exercise of stock options is not material.

Net sales of $1.86 billion were up 6% over the $1.76 billion for the similar period last year, and sales of ongoing businesses were up 7%. Earnings per share increased 20% to 79 cents, up from 66 cents last year. Net earnings were $197 million, up 19% from $166 million last year. U.S. businesses performed strongly, and international businesses continued on a fast pace. Worldwide soup sales were up over 5%. RESULTS BY DIVISION Results by division for fiscal 1994 have been restated to conform with new operating groups. FIRST QUARTER U.S.A. - U.S. sales for the quarter were $1.12 billion versus $1.07 billion for the comparable period last year. Sales of ongoing businesses were up 6%. Operating earnings climbed 16% to $259 million, a $36 million increase over last year. Soup shipments to the trade declined 2.5%, as the U.S. soup unit continued its program, begun in the second quarter of fiscal 1994, to eliminate costly peaks in its manufacturing and shipping cycles. The "Ready-to-Serve" business, however, saw volume growth led by strong performance in "Home Cookin'" and "Healthy Request" soups. Strong volume gains were achieved by a number of products, including "Swanson" traditional frozen dinners, pot pies and canned poultry, "Great Starts" breakfasts, "Prego" spaghetti sauce, "Franco-American" pasta, "V8" vegetable juice and "Vlasic" pickles. BAKERY & CONFECTIONERY - This division consists of "Pepperidge Farm" in the U.S., "Delacre" in Europe, "Arnotts" in Australia, "Godiva" worldwide and the "Lamy-Lutti" confectionery business in Europe. Bakery & Confectionery sales increased 6% to $417 million from $393 million in the first quarter of last year, primarily from favorable exchange rates. Earnings increased 15% to $46 million from $40 million last year, with Arnotts the major contributor to the improvement. -7- 8 Strong volume gains were achieved by "Godiva" chocolates in the U.S. and Japan. "Pepperidge Farm" biscuits and frozen foods units also reported substantial increases. INTERNATIONAL GROCERY - International Grocery consists of soup, grocery and frozen businesses in Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Europe, Australia and Asia. The division reported sales of $341 million, an 11% increase from continuing businesses led by very strong soup sales. Operating earnings rose 16% to $32 million, with major increases in soup worldwide and businesses in Argentina and Continental Europe. STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS Net sales increased 6% over the prior year, with sales of ongoing businesses up 7%, driven by across-the-board sales increases in North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific and Argentina. Gross margins improved 1.6 percentage points to 41.6% compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Gross margin improvements resulted primarily from higher selling prices. Marketing and selling expenses increased 6% in the first quarter, compared to the first quarter of the prior year, and remained at 18.2% of sales, as the company focused on stabilizing trade spending. Administrative expenses increased slightly to 4.2% of sales. The increase in interest expense results primarily from the net interest cost of a securities lending arrangement involving U.S. Treasury notes maturing in fiscal 1995. The maximum cost of this arrangement is $11 million, of which $7 million has been accrued. Because of recent movements in interest rates, additional charges are not anticipated. The effective tax rate was 33.7% compared to 36.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The company expects its effective rate for the full fiscal 1995 year to approximate the first quarter rate due to tax planning strategies, including utilization of tax loss carryforwards. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Campbell operates in a highly seasonal business and traditionally is a net user of cash in the first quarter, as inventories grow from the fall harvest and receivables increase from sales going into the "soup season". In the first quarter of 1995, however, increased earnings and tighter management of working capital contributed $90 million in operating cash flow as compared to $3 million in the first quarter of 1994. Capital expenditures were $60 million in 1995, a decrease of $23 million from the prior year, due to heavier 1994 spending on cost savings projects and consolidation of frozen food plants. Capital expenditures are projected to reach $450 million in 1995. The company acquired Fresh Start Bakeries, a food service baking concern with operations in the U.S., Europe and South America; Stratford- upon-Avon Foods, a canned fruit and vegetable company in England; and Kohi Biscuits in New Zealand. The company also acquired an additional 3% interest in Arnotts, boosting its share ownership to 61%. -8- 9 On November 25, 1994, the company agreed to acquire Pace Foods, Ltd., the world's leading producer and marketer of Mexican sauces, for $1.1 billion. The acquisition is contingent on customary regulatory clearances and is expected to be completed in January 1995. The acquisition will be financed through a combination of cash flow from operations, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Short-term debt increased by $204 million in 1995 to finance acquisitions and by $151 million in 1994. There were no significant repurchases of common stock for the treasury in 1995, compared to repurchases of 1.1 million shares at a cost of $41 million in 1994. -9- 10 PART II ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In management's opinion, there are no pending claims or litigation, the outcome of which would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the company. Campbell has received a notice of violation from the United States Environmental Protection Agency relating to certain air emission permits at its Sacramento, CA facility. Campbell is disputing the alleged violations. The company has been named as a potentially responsible party in a number of proceedings brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund. The ultimate impact of these proceedings cannot be predicted at this time due to the large number of other potentially responsible parties, and the speculative nature of clean-up cost estimates, but it is not expected to be material either individually or in the aggregate. ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K a.
