Campbell Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2004 Earnings

Press Releases

CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sept. 13, 2004–Campbell Soup
Company (NYSE:CPB) today reported diluted earnings per share for the
fourth quarter ended August 1, 2004 of $.14, compared to $.18 recorded
in the year-ago quarter. Comparability of earnings per share in the
quarter was impacted by a gain of $.02 related to the sale of an idle
manufacturing plant in California and a charge of $.05 related to the
restructuring announced in June. Excluding these two items, earnings
were $.17 per share.

For the quarter, net sales decreased 2 percent to $1,433 million,
reflecting the following factors:

    --  Volume and mix added 4 percent

    --  Price added 1 percent

    --  Increased promotional spending subtracted 2 percent

    --  Currency added 2 percent

    --  One less week in the quarter subtracted 7 percent

Excluding the impact of one less week in the quarter compared to
fiscal 2003, net sales were up 5 percent.

Net earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 were $59
million versus $74 million a year earlier. This year’s fourth quarter
includes a $6 million after-tax gain from the sale of the idle
manufacturing site and a $22 million after-tax charge related to the
restructuring announced by the company in June.

For the fiscal 2004 year, the company reported diluted earnings
per share of $1.57 compared to $1.52 for the prior year, before the
cumulative effect of accounting change. In fiscal 2004, comparability
of net earnings was impacted by a $.02 per share gain from the
settlement of a class action suit, a $.02 per share gain from the sale
of property, and a $.05 per share charge for restructuring. Excluding
these items, earnings were $1.58 per share.

For the year, net sales increased 6 percent to $7,109 million,
reflecting the following factors:

    --  Volume and mix added 2 percent

    --  Price added 2 percent

    --  Currency added 4 percent

    --  One less week in the fiscal year subtracted 2 percent

Excluding the impact of one less week in the year compared to
fiscal 2003, net sales were up 8 percent.

Net earnings for fiscal 2004 were $647 million versus $626 million
for the prior year, before the cumulative effect of accounting change.
In fiscal 2004, net earnings included a $10 million after-tax gain
associated with the class action suit, a $6 million after-tax gain
from the sale of property, and a $22 million after-tax charge for the
restructuring.

In addition, the company reported cash flow from operations of
$744 million compared with $873 million last year. This decline was
primarily due to higher working capital requirements of approximately
$150 million and a $50 million contribution to a U.S. pension fund,
partially offset by an increase in earnings. Capital expenditures for
fiscal 2004 were $288 million, slightly higher than the $283 million
of a year ago.

Douglas R. Conant, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive
Officer, said, “Our sales on a comparable basis in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2004 were strong and we have good momentum as we begin the
new fiscal year. We have demonstrated that we can grow the top line
across our key segments, including soup, beverages, biscuits and
confectionery. As anticipated, in the U.S. our investment this year in
quality, convenience packaging, and more focused marketing helped us
to maintain substantial growth in our ready-to-serve soup business and
to moderate the decline in condensed soup sales.”

Conant continued, “The restructuring we announced in June will
enable us to achieve tighter control of costs and will help to improve
margins. While we still have challenges to address, our plans to
deliver quality growth will enable us to win with our customers and
consumers in 2005 and beyond.”

For fiscal year 2005, the company expects earnings per share to
increase between 5 and 7 percent, excluding restructuring charges,
from the adjusted fiscal year 2004 base of $1.58.

    Summary of Fiscal 2004 Results by Segment

    North America Soup and Away From Home

Sales for North America Soup and Away From Home were $2,699
million, a 4 percent increase compared with a year ago. A breakdown of
the change in sales follows:

    --  Volume and mix added 1 percent

    --  Price added 3 percent

    --  Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent

    --  Currency added 2 percent

    --  One less week in the fiscal year subtracted 1 percent

Excluding the impact of one less week in the year, net sales rose
5 percent compared to fiscal 2003.

    Further details of sales results include the following:

    --  U.S. ready-to-serve soup sales for fiscal 2004 increased 8
        percent on a shipment increase of 6 percent. Investments in
        higher quality products, convenience packaging and integrated
        marketing are driving top line growth. The "M'm! M'm! Good! To
        Go" convenience platform was the primary driver of sales
        growth. This includes Campbell's "Soup At Hand" sippable
        soups, which more than doubled sales versus a year ago, as
        well as "Campbell's Chunky" and "Campbell's Select" soups in
        microwavable bowls.

    --  U.S. condensed soup sales declined 2 percent for the year on
        shipment declines of 4 percent. "Campbell's" condensed eating
        soups grew sales, led by "Campbell's" Chicken Noodle soup,
        which delivered strong performance driven by an integrated
        kids marketing program. This growth was offset by declines in
        cooking soups. Fiscal 2004 saw substantial progress in the
        installation of new gravity-feed shelving for condensed soup.
        Over 8,700 units are now installed, and plans call for an
        additional 2,300 units to be in place this fall.

    --  U.S. broth sales increased 6 percent, while shipments
        increased 5 percent, with gains in both cans and aseptically
        packaged "Swanson" broth.

    --  For the balance of the segment, sales in Canada increased due
        to currency, while Away From Home sales grew slightly,
        primarily due to strong sales of refrigerated soups.

For fiscal 2004, operating earnings of $602 million were down 5
percent compared to the previous year. This decline included a $7
million restructuring charge, which negatively impacted earnings by 1
percent. Earnings were also negatively impacted by costs associated
with quality improvements, higher inflation, trade promotion, and
product mix. These were partially offset by higher selling prices and
productivity improvements.

North America Sauces and Beverages

North America Sauces and Beverages sales were even with last year
at $1,246 million. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:

    --  Volume and mix added 1 percent

    --  Reduced promotional spending added 1 percent

    --  One less week in the fiscal year subtracted 2 percent

Excluding the impact of one less week in the year, net sales rose
2 percent compared to fiscal 2003.

    Further details of sales results include the following:

    --  Campbell's beverage businesses had an outstanding year, led by
        sales growth of "V8" vegetable juice. Stronger advertising,
        more efficient trade spending, and favorable consumer trends
        toward wellness enabled "V8" vegetable juice to achieve record
        sales levels. "Campbell's" Organic Tomato Juice was launched
        as the company's first certified organic product.

    --  "Prego" pasta sauce sales declined primarily due to the impact
        of lower sales in the dry pasta category. Performance improved
        in the second half of the year.

    --  "Pace" Mexican sauces were even with the previous year.

    --  Mexico achieved good sales growth.

For fiscal 2004, operating earnings of $268 million were down 7
percent compared to the previous year. The decline in operating
earnings included a restructuring charge of $3 million, which accounts
for 1 percent of the decrease. Other factors in the decline included
higher costs associated with new product introductions and inflation,
partially offset by productivity improvements.

Biscuits and Confectionery

Sales for Biscuits and Confectionery were $1,982 million, a 12
percent increase compared with a year ago. A breakdown of the change
in sales follows:

    --  Volume and mix added 4 percent

    --  Price added 2 percent

    --  Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent

    --  Acquisitions added 2 percent

    --  Currency added 7 percent

    --  One less week in the fiscal year subtracted 2 percent

Excluding the impact of one less week in the year, net sales rose
14 percent compared to fiscal 2003.

    Further details of sales results include the following:

    --  The Pepperidge Farm "Goldfish" snacks business continued its
        strong growth driven by gains in mass merchandisers and the
        introduction of new varieties, including new "Goldfish"
        sandwich snackers and trans-fat free "Goldfish" Crisps. The
        Mini Distinctive cookie varieties, which include mini "Milano"
        and "Nantucket" cookies, were successfully launched. Fresh
        bread sales also increased primarily due to the introduction
        of "Pepperidge Farm" Carb Style breads and rolls, as well as
        good growth in the sales of bagels and English muffins.

    --  Arnott's delivered strong sales results driven by improved
        performance in biscuits. The Australian Snackfoods business,
        behind strong incremental marketing investment, improved
        marketplace performance in a highly competitive environment.

    --  Godiva Chocolatier's worldwide sales improved, driven by solid
        growth in North American retail same store sales and increased
        sales in duty free stores.

For fiscal 2004, operating earnings increased 2 percent to $216
million, with currency translation accounting for 8 percentage points
of the growth. Operating earnings included a $12 million restructuring
charge, which negatively impacted earnings growth by 6 percentage
points. Earnings growth at Pepperidge Farm, Arnott’s, and Godiva was
offset by a decline in earnings in the Australian Snackfoods business.

International Soup and Sauces

International Soup and Sauces sales were $1,182 million, an
increase of 12 percent compared to a year ago. A breakdown of the
change in sales follows:

    --  Volume and mix added 2 percent

    --  Currency added 12 percent

    --  One less week in the fiscal year subtracted 2 percent

Excluding the impact of one less week in the year, net sales rose
14 percent compared to fiscal 2003.

    Further details of sales results include the following:

    --  Sales gains were achieved in France, Belgium and the Asia
        Pacific region, partially offset by sales declines in the U.K.
        and Germany.

    --  In the U.K., "Batchelors Cup-A-Soup" dry soup and "Batchelors
        Supernoodles" ramen noodles achieved good growth, which was
        more than offset by declines in wet soups and sauces.

    --  In Europe, aseptically packaged soups, sold under the "Liebig"
        brand in France and the "Campbell's" brand in Belgium,
        achieved good growth.

    --  In Asia Pacific, soups had strong sales growth driven by
        increased volume in Australia, with strong performances by
        both Campbell's "Country Ladle" and "Chunky" brands.

For fiscal 2004, operating earnings increased 5 percent to $135
million. Operating earnings included restructuring charges of $9
million, which negatively impacted earnings growth by 7 percentage
points. The remaining change in earnings is primarily due to favorable
currency translation.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures, as
reported in the Campbell Soup Company earnings release of September
13, 2004

The company uses certain “non-GAAP” financial measures as defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission in certain communications.
The “non-GAAP” financial measures are measures of performance not
defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP
reported measures. The items include the following:

    --  Earnings per share (EPS) before the cumulative effect of
        accounting change, excluding restructuring related costs and
        one-time items

    --  EPS annual growth rates excluding restructuring related costs
        and one-time items

    --  Organic sales growth

The table below reconciles earnings per share before the
cumulative effect of accounting change, presented in accordance with
GAAP, to earnings per share excluding restructuring related costs and
other one-time items.

    (1) The 2004 costs relate to the worldwide cost savings
        initiatives and Australian distribution and logistics
        realignment announced on June 24.

    (2) The gain relates to the settlement of a class-action lawsuit
        involving ingredient suppliers.

    (3) The gain relates to the sale of an idle facility in
        California.

The company believes that earnings per share excluding certain
restructuring related costs and certain other transactions not
considered to be part of the ongoing business are a better indicator
of the true performance of the business. Consequently, the company
believes that investors may be able to better understand earnings if
these transactions are excluded from the results.

The company refers to sales growth rates adjusting for currency,
acquisitions and divestitures and the extra week in a 53 week fiscal
year to present the results without the impact of these items, all of
which can make it more difficult for investors to understand our
underlying business trend. The company refers to sales growth
excluding currency, acquisitions and divestitures, and the 53rd week
as organic growth. Management believes that this measure provides
useful comparisons of period-to-period results.

Components of the change in sales are as follows:
