Campbell Provides Fiscal 2013 Guidance


CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sep. 4, 2012– Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) today reported its fourth-quarter and full-year results for fiscal 2012.


Fourth-Quarter Overview



Net earnings for the quarter ended July 29, 2012 were $127 million, or $0.40 per share, compared with $100 million, or $0.31 per share, in the prior year. The current quarter’s reported net earnings included transaction costs associated with the Aug. 6, 2012 acquisition of Bolthouse Farms. The prior-year quarter’s reported net earnings included charges associated with the previously announced June 2011 restructuring program. Excluding items impacting comparability in both periods, adjusted net earnings decreased 8 percent to $130 million compared with $141 million in the prior year’s quarter, and adjusted net earnings per share decreased 5 percent to $0.41 compared with $0.43 in the year-ago quarter. A detailed reconciliation of current and prior-year adjusted financial information to the reported information is included at the end of this news release.


Denise Morrison, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the fourth quarter, we generated organic sales growth, with gains across most of our portfolio, including strong sales in U.S. Soup and U.S. Simple Meals. Retailers continue to respond favorably to our new product development, and we have started shipping new products for fiscal 2013 launches.”


Morrison continued, “In fiscal 2012, we advanced our strategies to stabilize and profitably grow North America soup and simple meals, to expand our international presence and to drive growth in healthy beverages and baked snacks. In the first year of our strategic transition, we’ve renewed our focus on consumer insights, reinvigorated our brand building efforts and significantly improved our innovation pipeline. With the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, we positioned Campbell for growth in the rapidly expanding packaged fresh market. While we’ve had some important accomplishments this year, we also recognize that driving change at Campbell will require a sharper focus on execution. Our strategic framework is a roadmap to drive disciplined and successful change at Campbell. We will continue to enhance and grow our core business, while we broaden our appeal with new consumer groups, new product platforms and new geographies.”


Morrison concluded, “As we begin the new fiscal year, we are confident that we will improve our sales and earnings trends. Today, we’ve provided specific growth ranges for fiscal 2013 sales, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS.”


Campbell’s fiscal 2013 guidance, which is included at the end of this news release, reflects improved trends in the company’s core business, as well as the impact of Bolthouse Farms.

Summary of Fiscal 2012 Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results by Segment


U.S. Simple Meals


Sales for U.S. Simple Meals were $461 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of 7 percent compared with the year-ago period. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:



U.S. Soup sales increased 9 percent compared with the year-ago quarter. The sales growth was primarily attributable to condensed soup, which benefited from movements in retailer inventory levels associated with the timing of promotional activity, as well as consumption increases.



U.S. Sauces sales increased 4 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. Sales of both “Prego” pasta sauces and “Pace” Mexican sauces were driven by volume gains, benefiting from increased advertising and promotional support.


U.S. Simple Meals operating earnings were $104 million compared with $101 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 3 percent. The increase in operating earnings reflected earnings gains in U.S. Soup, partly offset by a decline in U.S. Sauces. For the segment, higher sales volume was partially offset by a decline in gross margin percentage and increased advertising expenses.


For the full year, sales for U.S. Simple Meals decreased 1 percent to $2.726 billion. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:



U.S. Soup sales declined 2 percent reflecting a 7-percent decrease in ready-to-serve soups, partly offset by a 1-percent increase in condensed soups and a 3-percent increase in broth sales. Sales of U.S. Sauces increased slightly as gains in “Prego” pasta sauces were mostly offset by lower sales of “Pace” Mexican sauces and declines in other simple meal products.


U.S. Simple Meals operating earnings were $658 million compared with $657 million in the prior year, reflecting earnings gains in U.S. Soup that were mostly offset by lower earnings in U.S. Sauces. For the segment, higher selling prices, productivity improvements and lower promotional spending were mostly offset by volume declines and cost inflation.


Global Baking and Snacking


Sales for Global Baking and Snacking were $556 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 1 percent from a year ago. Organic sales increased 2 percent. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:



Further details of sales results included the following:




Operating earnings for the quarter were $83 million compared with $92 million in the prior year. The decrease in operating earnings reflected lower earnings in Arnott’s, partly offset by growth in Pepperidge Farm. For the segment, the 10-percent decline was primarily due to increased promotional spending and cost inflation, partly offset by higher selling prices and productivity improvements.


For the full year, sales increased 2 percent to $2.193 billion. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:



Operating earnings decreased 11 percent to $315 million compared with $355 million in the year-ago period. The decline was primarily due to cost inflation, increased promotional spending and higher advertising, partly offset by higher selling prices and productivity improvements.


International Simple Meals and Beverages


Sales for International Simple Meals and Beverages were $294 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 7 percent. Organic sales increased 1 percent. The change in sales reflected the following factors:



Excluding the impact of currency, higher sales in Latin America, primarily beverage products, were partially offset by declines in Canada, while sales in Europe and in the Asia Pacific region were comparable to the year-ago period.



Operating earnings were $15 million compared with $24 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to cost inflation and increased promotional spending, partly offset by higher selling prices.


For the full year, sales decreased 4 percent to $1.404 billion. Organic sales declined 2 percent. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:



Excluding the impact of currency, sales declines in Canada, Europe and the Asia Pacific region were partly offset by gains in Latin America.


Operating earnings fell to $153 million compared with $185 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower earnings in the Asia Pacific region and Canada, as well as increased costs associated with the company’s market expansion in China.


U.S. Beverages


Sales for U.S. Beverages were $181 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of 3 percent compared to the year-ago period, due to gains from volume and mix.


Sales gains continued to outpace category growth and were primarily driven by double-digit increases in “V8 Splash” beverages and gains in “V8 V-Fusion” beverages, partially offset by declines in “V8” vegetable juice. Sales of “V8 V-Fusion” beverages benefited from the launch of new items, including Smoothies, Energy, Sparkling and Kids’ drinks.


Operating earnings for the quarter were $25 million compared with $30 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to an increase in marketing expenses and a decline in gross margin percentage, partly offset by higher sales volume.


For the full year, sales increased 2 percent to $774 million. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:



Sales of both “V8 Splash” beverages and “V8 V-Fusion” beverages increased, while sales of “V8” vegetable juice declined.


Operating earnings declined to $134 million from $182 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to cost inflation, particularly juice concentrates and packaging materials, increased promotional spending and higher advertising expenses, partly offset by productivity improvements.


North America Foodservice


Sales for North America Foodservice were $121 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 3 percent compared with a year ago. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:



The decrease was primarily due to declines in canned soup sales.


Operating earnings decreased $6 million to $10 million due to higher promotional spending and cost inflation, partly offset by productivity improvements and higher selling prices.


For the full year, sales increased 3 percent to $610 million. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:



Operating earnings were $85 million compared with $82 million in the year-ago period, an increase of 4 percent. The increase in operating earnings was primarily driven by higher selling prices and productivity improvements, partially offset by cost inflation.


Unallocated Corporate Expenses


Unallocated corporate expenses for the quarter were $33 million compared with $31 million a year ago. Unallocated expenses for the full year were $123 million versus $119 million in the prior year. Both the current fourth quarter and full year reflect $5 million of transaction costs related to the Bolthouse Farms acquisition.


Bolthouse Farms Acquisition


On Aug. 6, 2012, Campbell completed the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms for $1.55 billion, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In the fourth quarter, Campbell recorded pre-tax transaction costs of $5 million, $3 million after-tax, or $0.01 per share, related to the acquisition. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, Campbell’s results will include the Bolthouse Farms business.


Fiscal 2013 Guidance


In fiscal 2013, Campbell expects to grow sales between 10 and 12 percent, adjusted EBIT between 4 and 6 percent and adjusted EPS between 3 and 5 percent. The company expects adjusted EPS to be between $2.51 and $2.57. This guidance includes the estimated impact of the Bolthouse Farms business and excludes the impact of transaction costs. In fiscal 2013, Campbell expects Bolthouse Farms to contribute approximately $750 million to sales. Including the estimated impact of purchase accounting and the suspension of the company’s strategic share repurchase program, Campbell expects Bolthouse Farms to add $0.05 to $0.07 cents to fiscal 2013 adjusted EPS.


Non-GAAP Financial Information


A detailed reconciliation of the adjusted financial information to the reported financial information is included at the end of this news release.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures


Fiscal Year Ended July 29, 2012


Campbell Soup Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in certain communications. These 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.


Organic Net Sales


The company believes that organic net sales, which exclude the impact of currency, improves the comparability of year-to-year results. A reconciliation of net sales as reported to organic net sales follows.

Items Impacting Earnings


The company believes that financial information excluding certain transactions not considered to be part of the ongoing business improves the comparability of year-to-year results. Consequently, the company believes that investors may be able to better understand its earnings results if these transactions are excluded.
































The following items impacted earnings:

    (1)   In fiscal 2011, the company announced a series of initiatives to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce overhead costs across the organization to help fund plans to drive the growth of the business. The company also announced its intent to close its office in Moscow and exit the Russian market. In fiscal 2012, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $10 million ($6 million after tax or $.02 per share) related to the initiatives.
 
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $63 million ($41 million after tax or $.12 per share) related to these initiatives.
 
(2) In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the company announced its intent to acquire Bolthouse Farms. The company incurred transaction costs of $5 million ($3 million after tax or $.01 per share) associated with the acquisition, which closed on August 6, 2012.
