CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun. 5, 2019– Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) today reported its third-quarter results for fiscal 2019.
CEO Comments
Mark Clouse, Campbell’s President and CEO stated, “Our results this quarter were ahead of our expectations, making it the third consecutive quarter that we met or exceeded our outlook. I am also pleased to see profitability trends are improving, driven by sequential gross margin improvement.
“In the quarter, we continued to drive sales growth in Global Biscuits and Snacks, fueled by our U.S. Snacks portfolio. The business continues its growth trends on Pepperidge Farm, coupled with improvements in the Snyder’s-Lance portfolio. In the Meals and Beverages segment, although there is more to do, we are making steady improvements on gross margin and profit and this business is showing signs of stabilization.”
Background on the Presentation of Results
On April 12, 2019, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Bolthouse Farms business. As a result of this, and along with the recently completed divestitures of the U.S. refrigerated soup and Garden Fresh Gourmet businesses in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, Campbell Fresh is now reported as discontinued operations. The following table is a summary of the third-quarter results for sales, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and EPS for continuing operations, discontinued operations and on a total combined basis. Prior-year results have been adjusted to conform to the current-year presentation. A detailed reconciliation of the reported (GAAP) financial information to the non-GAAP information is included at the end of this news release.

Third-Quarter Results
Sales increased 16 percent to $2.2 billion reflecting a 17-point benefit from the acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance, which was completed on March 26, 2018, partly offset by a 1-point negative impact from currency translation. Organic sales were comparable to the prior year as gains in Global Biscuits and Snacks were offset by declines in Meals and Beverages. Sales in the quarter benefited by approximately 30 basis points from the change in the new revenue recognition standard adopted in fiscal 2019, which impacts the timing of expense related to promotional programs. The annual impact is not expected to be material.
Gross margin increased from 32.7 percent to 33.2 percent. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted gross margin decreased 2.1 percentage points to 33.4 percent, including a 170-basis-point dilutive mix impact from the acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance. The remaining decline in adjusted gross margin was driven primarily by cost inflation mostly offset by supply chain productivity improvements, lower promotional spending, the benefit from pricing actions and the benefits from cost savings initiatives.
Marketing and selling expenses increased 11 percent to $245 million reflecting a 14-point increase from the inclusion of the Snyder’s-Lance acquisition. Excluding items impacting comparability and the impact of the acquisition, adjusted marketing and selling expenses decreased driven primarily by lower marketing overhead and selling expenses, including the benefits from cost savings initiatives, partly offset by higher incentive compensation. Administrative expenses increased 8 percent to $165 million. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted administrative expenses increased 28 percent to $151 million primarily due to higher incentive compensation expense and the inclusion of the Snyder’s-Lance acquisition. The incentive compensation headwinds were due to lapping below-target levels in the prior-year quarter and improved performance in fiscal 2019.
Other expenses were $20 million as compared to $35 million in the prior year. Excluding items impacting comparability, other income decreased from $16 million in the prior year to $8 million reflecting amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance.
As reported EBIT was $266 million. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EBIT decreased 2 percent to $316 million driven by declines in the base business reflecting higher adjusted administrative costs and gross margin pressure, offset mostly by incremental earnings from the acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance. The change in revenue recognition had a favorable 2-point impact in the quarter.
Net interest expense was $91 million compared to $42 million in the prior year. Excluding items impacting comparability in the prior year, adjusted net interest expense increased $31 million reflecting the debt associated with the acquisitions of Snyder’s-Lance and Pacific Foods, as well as higher short-term interest rates. The tax rate was 25.1 percent as compared to 37.1 percent in the prior year. Excluding items impacting comparability, the adjusted tax rate decreased 6.5 percentage points from 31.4 percent to 24.9 percent reflecting a lower U.S. federal tax rate.
The company reported EPS from continuing operations of $0.43 per share. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EPS from continuing operations decreased 5 percent to $0.56 per share reflecting higher adjusted net interest expense, partly offset by a lower adjusted tax rate. The change in revenue recognition had a favorable $0.01 per share impact in the quarter.
Sales decreased 15 percent to $210 million driven primarily by declines in refrigerated soup reflecting the previously announced plans of certain major private label customers to insource production in 2019. Adjusted EBIT was $7 million compared to a loss of $13 million in the prior-year quarter reflecting improved operational efficiency, including the benefit from cost saving initiatives. The company reported a loss from discontinued operations of $0.16 per share. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EPS from discontinued operations was breakeven, compared to $0.10 per share in the prior year.
Total Combined Results
Total combined sales from continuing and discontinued operations increased 12 percent to $2.4 billion reflecting a 15-point benefit from the acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance. Adjusted combined gross margin decreased 0.4 percentage points to 31.6 percent. Adjusted combined EBIT increased 5 percent to $323 million reflecting incremental earnings from the acquisition, partly offset by declines on the base business. Adjusted net EPS was $0.56 per share compared to $0.70 per share in the prior year.
Nine-Month Results
The following table is a summary of the nine-month results for sales, EBIT and EPS for continuing operations, discontinued operations and on a total combined basis.

As reported EBIT increased 12 percent to $1.0 billion. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EBIT decreased 1 percent to $1.1 billion reflecting declines in the base business offset mostly by incremental earnings from the acquisitions.
The company reported EPS from continuing operations of $1.82 per share. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EPS from continuing operations decreased 13 percent to $2.14 per share reflecting higher adjusted net interest expense, partly offset by a lower adjusted tax rate. The change in revenue recognition had no impact on a year-to-date basis.
Sales decreased 8 percent to $666 million. Adjusted EBIT was breakeven. The company reported a loss from discontinued operations of $1.10 per share. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted loss from discontinued operations was $0.01 per share, compared to earnings of $0.16 per share in the prior year.
Total combined sales from continuing and discontinued operations increased 21 percent to $7.8 billion reflecting a 23-point benefit from the acquisitions of Snyder’s-Lance and Pacific Foods. Adjusted combined EBIT increased 1 percent to $1.1 billion. Adjusted net EPS declined 19 percent to $2.13 per share.
Cash flow from operations increased to $1.1 billion from $1.0 billion a year ago due primarily to significant improvements from the company’s working capital management efforts, partly offset by lower cash earnings. In line with the company’s commitment to returning value to shareholders, during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, the company paid $318 million of cash dividends reflecting the quarterly dividend rate of $0.35 per share.
Campbell Updates Fiscal 2019 Guidance
Based on the company’s improved earnings outlook for fiscal 2019 and the impact of the Campbell Fresh divestitures, Campbell has updated its guidance as shown in the table below. This fiscal 2019 guidance includes an estimated 1 percentage-point negative impact from currency translation. As mentioned earlier in this release, Campbell Fresh is now reported as a discontinued operation and prior-year results have been adjusted to conform to the current-year presentation.

Cost Savings Program
In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, Campbell achieved $55 million in savings under its multi-year cost savings program, inclusive of Snyder’s-Lance synergies, bringing total program-to-date savings to $605 million. Year-to-date savings were $150 million through the first nine months of fiscal 2019, benefiting both continuing and discontinued operations. The previously announced cost savings target of $945 million included $95 million of savings related to Campbell Fresh, which is now reported as discontinued operations. For continuing operations, Campbell is targeting cumulative annualized savings of $850 million by the end of fiscal 2022, of which $535 million has been achieved program-to-date.
Segment Operating Review
An analysis of net sales and operating earnings by reportable segment follows:
Three Months Ended Apr. 28, 2019 ($ in millions)
Meals and Beverages
Global Biscuits and Snacks
Nine Months Ended Apr. 28, 2019 ($ in millions)
Sales in the quarter decreased 1 percent to $1.024 billion. Organic sales were comparable to the prior year reflecting mixed results, as solid performance in Canada was offset by decreases in V8 beverages and Prego pasta sauces in the U.S. The adoption of new accounting guidance for revenue recognition resulted in a positive 1-point impact on sales. Sales of U.S. soup were comparable to the prior year as gains in broth were offset by moderating declines in condensed and ready-to-serve soups.
Segment operating earnings in the quarter decreased 5 percent to $207 million. The decrease was driven primarily by cost inflation and higher administrative expenses, partly offset by supply chain productivity programs, lower promotional spending and the benefit of recent pricing actions.
Sales in the quarter increased 37 percent to $1.154 billion. Excluding the benefit from the acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance and the negative impact of currency translation, organic sales increased 1 percent. This performance reflects continued solid growth in Pepperidge Farm, driven by consumption gains in Pepperidge Farm fresh bakery products and Goldfish crackers, offset partly by declines in the international biscuits and snacks operating segment.
Segment operating earnings in the quarter increased 15 percent to $139 million, reflecting a 21-point benefit from the acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, segment operating earnings decreased driven primarily by cost inflation and higher administrative expenses, partly offset by supply chain productivity programs.
Corporate
Corporate in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 included a pension settlement charge of $28 million associated with a U.S. pension plan, charges related to cost savings initiatives of $19 million, and costs of $2 million associated with the planned divestiture of the company’s international biscuits and snacks operating segment. Corporate in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 included transaction and integration costs of $72 million related to the acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance, charges related to cost savings initiatives of $45 million, and a charge of $22 million related to the settlement of a legal claim. The remaining increase in expenses primarily reflects losses on open commodity contracts and higher administrative expenses.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Third Quarter Ended April 28, 2019
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. Management believes that also presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of the company’s historical operating results and trends in its underlying operating results, and provides transparency on how the company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the company’s performance. In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the results of the Campbell Fresh segment are reported as discontinued operations. As this is the first quarter presenting the segment as discontinued operations, we have provided certain combined financial measures of continuing operations and discontinued operations to facilitate comparison of the company’s historical operating results.
Organic Net Sales
Organic net sales are net sales excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions. Management believes that excluding these items, which are not part of the ongoing business, improves the comparability of year-to-year results. A reconciliation of net sales as reported to organic net sales and combined net sales follows.
April 29, 2018
Net Sales, as Reported
Impact of Currency
Impact of Acquisitions
Items Impacting Earnings
The company believes that financial information excluding certain items that are not considered to reflect the ongoing operating results, such as those listed below, improves the comparability of year-to-year results. Consequently, the company believes that investors may be able to better understand its results excluding these items.
The following items impacted earnings:
(1)
In fiscal 2015, the company implemented initiatives to reduce costs and to streamline its organizational structure. In fiscal 2017, the company expanded these cost savings initiatives by further optimizing its supply chain network, primarily in North America, continuing to evolve its operating model to drive efficiencies, and more fully integrating its recent acquisitions. In January 2018, as part of the expanded initiatives, the company authorized additional costs to improve the operational efficiency of its thermal supply chain network in North America by closing its manufacturing facility in Toronto, Ontario, and to optimize its information technology infrastructure by migrating certain applications to the latest cloud technology platform. In August 2018, the company announced that it will continue to streamline its organization, expand its zero-based budgeting efforts and optimize its manufacturing network. In fiscal 2019, the company began to include costs associated with the Snyder’s-Lance cost transformation program and integration with these initiatives.
(2)
In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, interim impairment assessments were performed on the intangible and tangible assets within Campbell Fresh, which includes Garden Fresh Gourmet, Bolthouse Farms carrot and carrot ingredients, and Bolthouse Farms refrigerated beverages and salad dressings, as the company continued to pursue the divestiture of these businesses.
