Campbell Recorded Charges Related To the Announced Restructuring
Program in Mexico

Net earnings for the quarter ended Jan. 27, 2013, were $190 million, or
$0.60 per share, compared with $205 million, or $0.64 per share, in the
prior year. The current and prior years’ reported net earnings included
charges associated with restructuring programs. Excluding restructuring
and restructuring-related charges, adjusted net earnings increased 6
percent to $220 million, compared with $207 million in the prior year’s
quarter, and adjusted net earnings per share increased 9 percent to
$0.70 compared with $0.64 in the year-ago quarter. A detailed
reconciliation of the reported financial information to the adjusted
information is included at the end of this news release.

Denise Morrison, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
“We are pleased with our performance in the quarter.

“Within U.S. Simple Meals, we saw growth in U.S. Soup as consumers
responded to our efforts in brand building and innovation, both in our
core business and in new products. While we reduced overall advertising
spending, we were able to maintain competitive levels and to increase
advertising support for new innovation. Our work to improve taste
adventure and deliver more effective and efficient marketing and
promotion resulted in increased consumption in this important business.”

Morrison continued, “Our Global Baking and Snacking business has
benefitted from innovation in both core brands and new products, plus
increased distribution and merchandising. Gains in snack crackers,
cookies and fresh bakery products drove sales and earnings at Pepperidge
Farm. Arnott’s sales increased with solid performance in Australia and
Indonesia.

“Our newly acquired Bolthouse Farms business delivered solid results in
the fresh carrots, beverages and salad dressings categories, driven by
innovation and increased distribution. The Bolthouse Farms integration
is also progressing well.”

Morrison concluded, “Despite weakness in our U.S. Beverages and North
America Foodservice businesses, our first half business results were
positive. Although profits in U.S. Beverages improved, we have more work
to do to drive the top line and continue to stabilize profit in a
sluggish shelf-stable juice category. Halfway through our fiscal year,
we are making progress against our plans to return Campbell to
sustainable, profitable net sales growth.”

Campbell Confirms Fiscal 2013 Guidance

The company confirmed its previous fiscal 2013 guidance. 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 acquisition transaction costs and restructuring
charges. In fiscal 2013, Campbell expects Bolthouse Farms to contribute
approximately $750 million to sales and add $0.05 to $0.07 to adjusted
EPS, including the impact of the suspension of Campbell’s strategic
share repurchase program.

Restructuring Program

On Feb. 14, 2013, Campbell announced that it has entered into commercial
arrangements with Grupo Jumex and Conservas La Costeña that will expand
the company’s access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities in
Mexico. These providers will produce and distribute Campbell’s
beverages, soups, broths and sauces throughout the Mexican market. As a
result of these agreements, Campbell will close its plant in Villagrán,
Mexico, and eliminate approximately 260 positions. In the second quarter
of fiscal 2013, Campbell recorded a restructuring charge of $6 million
($4 million after tax or $0.01 per share) related to this initiative.

Second-Quarter Results

For the second quarter, sales increased 10 percent to $2.333 billion.
The increase in sales for the quarter reflected the following factors:

The acquisition of Bolthouse Farms added 9 percent
Price and sales allowances added 2 percent
Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent

Second-Quarter Financial Details

Gross margin was 35.1 percent compared with 38.4 percent a year ago.
Excluding restructuring-related charges, adjusted gross margin in the
current quarter was 36.8 percent. The decline in gross margin was
mostly attributable to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, which
operates with a lower gross margin structure.
Marketing and selling expenses were $297 million, comparable to the
prior year. Lower advertising and consumer promotion expenses,
primarily in the U.S. Soup business, were offset by higher spending to
support the company’s innovation efforts, higher selling expenses and
the impact of the addition of Bolthouse Farms expenses.
Administrative expenses increased $20 million to $172 million,
primarily due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, as well as higher
compensation and benefit costs, including pension expenses.
EBIT was $301 million compared with $329 million in the prior-year
quarter. Excluding restructuring and restructuring-related charges,
adjusted EBIT increased 5 percent to $349 million. Excluding Bolthouse
Farms’ operating results, adjusted EBIT increased 1 percent, primarily
driven by lower marketing expenses, partly offset by higher selling
expenses and R&D costs.
Net interest expenses increased $5 million to $31 million, reflecting
a higher debt level due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms,
partially offset by lower interest rates.
The tax rate in the quarter was 30.7 percent compared with 33.7
percent in the prior year. Excluding restructuring and
restructuring-related charges, the current quarter’s adjusted tax rate
was 31.8 percent. The decrease was primarily due to lower taxes on
foreign earnings in the current year.
Adjusted net earnings for the quarter increased 6 percent to $220
million. Adjusted net earnings per share were $0.70 in the current
quarter compared with net earnings per share of $0.64 in the
prior-year quarter, an increase of 9 percent. Earnings per share
benefitted from fewer shares outstanding, reflecting the impact of the
company’s share repurchase program in the prior year.

First-Half Results

Net earnings for the first half were $435 million, or $1.38 per share,
compared with $470 million, or $1.45 per share, in the year-ago period.
Excluding restructuring, restructuring-related charges and acquisition
transaction costs, adjusted net earnings increased 5 percent to $499
million. Reflecting the benefit of fewer shares outstanding, adjusted
net earnings per share increased 8 percent to $1.58.

For the first half of fiscal 2013, sales were $4.669 billion, an
increase of 9 percent from the year-ago period. The change in sales for
the period reflected the following factors*:

The acquisition of Bolthouse Farms added 9 percent
Price and sales allowances added 2 percent
Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent

* Does not add due to rounding

First-Half Financial Details

Gross margin was 36.1 percent compared with 39.0 percent a year ago.
Excluding restructuring-related charges, adjusted gross margin in the
first half was 37.4 percent. The decline in gross margin was primarily
attributable to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms.
Marketing and selling expenses decreased 1 percent to $551 million
compared with $558 million in the prior year. The decline was
primarily due to lower marketing expenses, principally reductions in
advertising and consumer promotion expenses, partly offset by the
impact of the addition of Bolthouse Farms expenses and higher selling
expenses.
Administrative expenses increased $37 million to $334 million,
primarily due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms as well as higher
compensation and benefit costs, including pension expenses.
EBIT was $686 million compared with $745 million in the prior year.
Excluding restructuring, restructuring-related charges and acquisition
transaction costs, adjusted EBIT increased 5 percent to $787 million.
Excluding Bolthouse Farms’ operating results, adjusted EBIT increased
1 percent, primarily driven by lower marketing expenses, partially
offset by higher selling and administrative expenses.
Adjusted net earnings for the first half increased 5 percent to $499
million, as the impact of higher interest expenses was offset by a
lower tax rate. Adjusted net earnings per share were $1.58 in the
first half compared with net earnings per share of $1.46 in the prior
year, an increase of 8 percent. Earnings per share benefitted from
fewer shares outstanding.
Cash flow from operations was $499 million compared with $478 million
in the prior year.
Net debt rose to $4.019 billion, an increase of $1.463 billion,
primarily due to funding the $1.570 billion purchase of Bolthouse
Farms.

Sales of “Campbell’s” condensed soups increased 1 percent, driven by
gains in eating varieties. Sales of cooking varieties were comparable
to the year-ago quarter.

double-digit volume gains in “Campbell’s Chunky” canned soups and the
benefit of new items across the portfolio, slightly offset by declines
in microwavable soups.
Broth sales decreased 12 percent, primarily due to declines in canned
broth, reflecting earlier holiday shipments in the prior quarter.

Sales of U.S. Sauces were comparable to the prior-year quarter as lower
sales in “Prego” pasta sauce and “Chunky” chili were offset by gains in
“Swanson” canned poultry, “Campbell’s” canned pasta, “Pace” Mexican

U.S. Simple Meals operating earnings increased 10 percent to $191
million, compared with $174 million in the prior-year period. Benefits

  in cookies, which benefitted from a successful holiday period.
- Sales of fresh bakery products increased versus the prior year,
  driven by volume gains across most of the portfolio.
Excluding the favorable impact of currency, sales at Arnott’s
increased, driven by growth in Australia and excellent gains in
Indonesia. Sales growth in Australia was driven across all categories:
savory crackers, chocolate cookies and sweet varieties.

Operating earnings for the quarter were $74 million compared with $71
million in the prior year. Volume gains and productivity improvements
were partly offset by increased promotional spending and cost inflation.

comparable to the prior year, as sales growth in France was offset by
lower export sales.
In the Asia Pacific region, sales decreased due to declines in
Australia and Japan, partially offset by growth in Malaysia.

Foodservice declined 10 percent compared with a year ago. A breakdown of

North America Foodservice sales decreased primarily due to declines in

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Second Quarter Ended January 27, 2013

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.

Net Debt

The company believes that net debt is a non-GAAP measure that provides
additional meaningful comparisons between the company’s financial
position at January 27, 2013 and January 29, 2012, and also a useful
perspective on the financial condition of the business. Interest income
earned on cash and cash equivalents partially offsets interest expense
on debt. Cash and cash equivalents are available to repay outstanding
debt upon maturity.

The table below summarizes information on total debt and cash and cash
equivalents:


(millions)	January 27, 2013			January 29, 2012
Short-term borrowings	$	1,489		$	870
Long-term debt		2,940			2,008
Total debt	$	4,429			2,878

Organic Net Sales

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

Items Impacting Gross Margin and Earnings

The company believes that financial information excluding certain
transactions that are 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
gross margin and earnings results excluding these transactions.

The following items impacted gross margin and/or earnings:


			(1)		In fiscal 2013, the company announced several initiatives to improve its U.S. supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its U.S. thermal plant network. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $2 million and restructuring-related costs of $40 million in Cost of products sold related to the initiatives. Year-to-date, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $24 million and restructuring-related costs of $61 million in Cost of products sold.

					In February 2013, the company announced that it has entered into commercial arrangements with third-party providers that will expand the company’s access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities in Mexico. The third-party providers will produce and distribute the company’s beverages, soups, broths and sauces throughout the Mexican market. As a result of these arrangements, the company will close its plant in Villagrán, Mexico. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $6 million related to this initiative.

					The aggregate impact of the restructuring initiatives in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was pre-tax restructuring charges of $8 million and restructuring-related costs of $40 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate impact of $30 million after tax or $.09 per share). The aggregate impact of the restructuring initiatives in the year-to-date period of fiscal 2013 was pre-tax restructuring charges of $30 million and restructuring-related costs of $61 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate impact of $57 million after tax or $.18 per share).

					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 the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $3 million ($2 million after tax or $.01 per share) related to the initiatives. The year-to-date 2012 impact was $5 million ($3 million after tax or $.01 per share). For the year ended July 29, 2012, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $10 million ($6 million after tax or $.02 per share) related to the initiatives.

			(2)		In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the company announced its intent to acquire Bolthouse Farms. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the company incurred transaction costs of $10 million ($7 million after tax or $.02 per share) associated with the acquisition, which closed on August 6, 2012. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the company incurred transaction costs of $5 million ($3 million after tax or $.01 per share) associated with the acquisition.

			(3)		Bolthouse Farms contributed $15 million to earnings before interest and taxes in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Year-to-date, Bolthouse Farms contributed $29 million to earnings before interest and taxes.
