Campbell President and CEO Denise Morrison to Provide Strategic Overview of Company’s Progress at CAGNY Conference

Press Releases

CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb. 19, 2014–
Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) President and Chief Executive
Officer Denise Morrison will provide an overview of the company’s
strategic direction and performance this morning at the Consumer Analyst
Group of New York (CAGNY) Conference in Boca Raton, Fla. Morrison will
discuss Campbell’s successful efforts to strengthen its core business
and to expand in higher-growth spaces.

She will also highlight the company’s progress with respect to its three
key strategies:

Campbell has taken actions to improve the performance of its U.S. Soup
and Simple Meals business by optimizing all the drivers of demand and
accelerating consumer-focused innovation. The company has continued to
strengthen its Pepperidge Farm business, driving expansion of the Goldfish
franchise while restoring growth in its fresh bakery business and
reinvigorating growth in cookies. Under Morrison, Campbell has also
added a trio of new growth engines: Bolthouse Farms, Plum Organics and
the Kelsen Group. With combined sales of approximately $1 billion, these
acquisitions give Campbell new platforms in faster-growing categories to
create value and attract new consumers.

“Our $8 billion portfolio of brands is far more diversified than it was
three years ago — better balanced and better positioned to meet
evolving consumer needs, behaviors and expectations,” said Morrison.
“Thoughtfully and strategically, we are gradually shifting Campbell’s
center of gravity.”

The Campbell presentation will be webcast live at investor.campbellsoupcompany.com
starting at 10:30 a.m. EST today. The presentations will be archived on
the website and available for replay, beginning approximately two hours
after the conclusion of the presentation.
