Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(currency in millions, except per share amounts)
|
1.
|
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
|
The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the indicated periods. The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 29, 2012. The results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
|
2.
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued additional authoritative guidance on accounting for goodwill. The guidance clarifies the impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. The company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income (OCI) in one continuous statement or two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and comprehensive income. The option to present items of OCI in the statement of changes in equity has been eliminated. In December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to defer a requirement in the June 2011 standard that called for reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income to be measured and presented by income statement line item in net income and also in OCI. The new requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and for interim reporting periods within those years. The company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption impacted the presentation of financial statements but did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance related to disclosures about offsetting (netting) of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. The guidance requires entities to disclose gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions that are offset in the statement of financial position, and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The scope includes financial instruments and derivative instruments. The disclosures are required for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Disclosures required under the guidance will be provided for all comparative periods presented. The adoption will impact disclosures but will not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments will allow an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition
|
On August 6, 2012, the company completed the acquisition of BF Bolthouse Holdco LLC (Bolthouse Farms) from a fund managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, a private equity firm, for
$1,550
in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. As of October 28, 2012, the preliminary purchase price adjustments resulted in an increase of the purchase price of
$20
. The company funded the acquisition through a combination of short- and long-term borrowings.
The acquisition of Bolthouse Farms provides the company with a new growth platform. Bolthouse Farms is a vertically integrated food and beverage company focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing fresh carrots and proprietary, high value-added natural, healthy products. Bolthouse Farms' U.S. and Canadian market-leading super-premium refrigerated beverages complement the company's
V8
beverage business. Bolthouse Farms' leading U.S. and Canadian market position in fresh carrots anchors its business and provides significant cash flow. In addition, Bolthouse Farms' prominent position in the high-growth packaged fresh category augments the company's existing chilled soup business in North America, and offers opportunities for expansion into adjacent packaged fresh segments that respond directly to significant consumer trends.
The company incurred pre-tax transactions costs of
$10
(
$7
after tax) in the first quarter of
2013
and
$5
(
$3
after tax) during the fourth quarter of
2012
. The costs were recorded in Other expenses/(income).
The acquisition of Bolthouse Farms contributed
$171
to Net sales and resulted in a reduction of
$3
to Net earnings from August 6, 2012 through October 28, 2012. Net earnings reflect the transaction costs incurred in 2013, additional interest expense
8
on the debt issued to finance the purchase, amortization and depreciation expense based on the estimated fair value and useful lives of intangible assets, plant assets, and related tax effects.
The following unaudited pro forma summary information presents consolidated information as if the acquisition had occurred on August 1, 2011. The pro forma amounts include transaction costs, additional interest expense on the debt issued to finance the purchase, amortization and depreciation expense based on the estimated fair value and useful lives of intangible assets, plant assets, and related tax effects. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the combined results had the acquisition been completed at August 1, 2011, nor are they indicative of future combined results.

The purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to finalization of appraisals, which will be completed in 2013.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets was recorded as
$695
of goodwill. Of this amount,
$281
is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was primarily attributable to future growth opportunities, fit with the company's strategy to grow in healthy beverages, as well as any intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is included in the Bolthouse and Foodservice segment.
The fair value of intangible assets based on the preliminary results of appraisals is as follows:

Business and Geographic Segment Information
|
The company manages operations through
13
operating segments based on product type and geographic location and has aggregated the operating segments into the appropriate reportable segment based on similar economic characteristics; products; production processes; types or classes of customers; distribution methods; and regulatory environment. The reportable segments are discussed in greater detail below.
10
The U.S. Simple Meals segment aggregates the following operating segments: U.S. Soup and U.S. Sauces. The U.S. Soup retail business includes the following products:
Campbell’s
condensed and ready-to-serve soups; and
Swanson
broth and stocks. The U.S. Sauces retail business includes the following products:
Prego
pasta sauces;
Pace
Mexican sauces;
Campbell’s
canned gravies, pasta and beans; and
Swanson
canned poultry.
The Global Baking and Snacking segment aggregates the following operating segments:
Pepperidge Farm
cookies, crackers, bakery and frozen products in U.S. retail; and
Arnott’s
biscuits in Australia and Asia Pacific.
The International Simple Meals and Beverages segment aggregates the simple meals and beverages operating segments outside of the U.S., including Europe, the retail business in Canada, and the businesses in Asia Pacific, Latin America and China.
The U.S. Beverages segment represents the U.S. retail beverages business, including the following products:
V8
juices and beverages; and
Campbell’s
tomato juice.
Bolthouse and Foodservice comprises the Bolthouse Farms carrot products operating segment, including fresh carrots, juice concentrate and fiber; the Bolthouse Farms super-premium refrigerated beverages and refrigerated salad dressings operating segment; and the North America Foodservice operating segment. The North America Foodservice operating segment represents the distribution of products such as soup, specialty entrées, beverage products, other prepared foods and Pepperidge Farm products through various food service channels in the U.S. and Canada. None of these operating segments meets the criteria for aggregation nor the thresholds for separate disclosure.
The company evaluates segment performance before interest, taxes and costs associated with restructuring activities. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity hedging activities are excluded from segment operating earnings and are recorded in Corporate expenses as these open positions represent hedges of future purchases. Upon closing of the contracts, the realized gain or loss is transferred to segment operating earnings, which allows the segments to reflect the economic effects of the hedge without exposure to quarterly volatility of unrealized gains and losses. Certain manufacturing, warehousing and distribution activities of the segments are integrated in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. As a result, asset information by segment is not discretely maintained for internal reporting or used in evaluating performance.

Restructuring Charges
|
2013 Initiatives
On September 27, 2012, 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. The company expects to eliminate approximately
727
positions in connection with the initiatives, which include the following:
|
•
|
The company will close its thermal plant in Sacramento, California, which produces soups, sauces and beverages. The closure will result in the elimination of approximately
700
full-time positions and will be completed in phases, with plans to cease operations in July 2013. The company plans to shift the majority of Sacramento's soup, sauce and beverage production to its thermal plants in Maxton, North Carolina; Napoleon, Ohio; and Paris, Texas.
|
|
•
|
The company will also close its spice plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey, which will result in the elimination of
27
positions. The company will consolidate spice production at its Milwaukee, Wisconsin, plant in 2013.
|
In the first quarter of
2013
, the company recorded a restructuring charge of
$22
related to these initiatives. In addition, approximately
$21
of costs related to these initiatives were recorded in Cost of products sold, primarily representing accelerated depreciation and other exit costs. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and related costs was
$27
, or
$.09
per share. A summary of the pre-tax costs and remaining costs associated with the initiatives is as follows:

2011 Initiatives
On June 28, 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 exit the Russian market. Details of the initiatives include:
|
•
|
In Australia, the company is investing in a new system to automate packing operations at its biscuit plant in Virginia. This investment will occur through the second quarter of 2013 and will result in the elimination of approximately
190
positions. Further, the company improved asset utilization in the U.S. by shifting production of ready-to-serve soups from Paris, Texas, to other facilities in 2012. In addition, the manufacturing facility in Marshall, Michigan, was closed in 2011, and manufacturing of
Campbell’s Soup at Hand
microwavable products was consolidated at the Maxton, North Carolina, plant in 2012.
|
|
•
|
The company streamlined its salaried workforce by approximately
510
positions around the world, including approximately
130
positions at its world headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. These actions were substantially completed in 2011. As part of this initiative, the company outsourced a larger portion of its U.S. retail merchandising activities to its current retail sales agent, Acosta Sales and Marketing, and eliminated approximately
190
positions.
|
|
•
|
In connection with exiting the Russian market, the company has eliminated approximately
50
positions. The exit process commenced in 2011 and was substantially completed in 2012.
|
In
2012
, the company recorded a restructuring charge of
$10
(
$6
after tax or
$.02
per share). Of the amount recorded in
2012
,
$2
(
$1
after tax) was recorded in the first quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the company recorded
$63
(
$41
after tax or
$.12
per share). A summary of the pre-tax charges and remaining costs associated with the initiatives is as follows:

Earnings per Share
|
The accounting guidance for earnings per share provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareowners is as follows:

Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt
|
On August 6, 2012, the company completed the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms from a fund managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, a private equity firm, for
$1,550
in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. As of
October 28, 2012
, the preliminary purchase price adjustments resulted in an increase of the purchase price of
$20
. The acquisition was funded through a combination of short- and long-term borrowings. Approximately
$326
was funded through the issuance of commercial paper. The terms of long-term borrowings, which were issued on August 2, 2012, were as follows:
|
•
|
$400
floating rate notes that mature on
August 1, 2014
. Interest on the notes is based on 3-month U.S. dollar
LIBOR
plus
0.3%
. Interest is payable quarterly and commenced on November 1, 2012;
|
|
•
|
$450
of
2.50%
notes that mature on
August 2, 2022
. Interest is payable semi-annually commencing on February 2, 2013. The company may redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest or an amount designed to ensure that the note holders are not penalized by the early redemption; and
|
|
•
|
$400
of
3.80%
notes that mature on
August 2, 2042
. Interest is payable semi-annually commencing on February 2, 2013. The company may redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest or an amount designed to ensure that the note holders are not penalized by the early redemption.

Financial Instruments
|
The principal market risks to which the company is exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. In addition, the company is exposed to equity price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. In order to manage these exposures, the company follows established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative contracts such as swaps, options, forwards and commodity futures. These derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and does not use leveraged instruments. The company’s derivative programs include both instruments that qualify and that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, the company only enters into contracts with carefully selected, leading, credit-worthy financial institutions, and distributes contracts among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. The company does not have credit-risk-related contingent features in its derivative instruments as of
October 28, 2012
. During 2012, the company's largest customer accounted for approximately
17%
of consolidated net sales. The company closely monitors credit risk associated with counterparties and customers.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its international operations, including non-functional currency intercompany debt and net investments in subsidiaries. The company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result
15
of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. Principal currencies hedged include the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, euro, Swedish krona, New Zealand dollar, British pound and Japanese yen. The company utilizes foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts as well as cross-currency swaps to hedge these exposures. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. The company hedges portions of its forecasted foreign currency transaction exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts for periods typically up to
18
months. To hedge currency exposures related to intercompany debt, cross-currency swap contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the underlying debt. As of
October 28, 2012
, cross-currency swap contracts mature between
5
and
33 months
. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was
$160
at
October 28, 2012
and
$156
at
July 29, 2012
. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Earnings on the same line item and the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was
$891
and
$908
at
October 28, 2012
and
July 29, 2012
, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
The company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps in order to maintain its variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines. Receive fixed rate/pay variable rate interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair-value hedges. The notional amount of outstanding fair-value interest rate swaps totaled
$500
at
October 28, 2012
and at
July 29, 2012
. These swaps mature between
1
and
11 months
. The company manages its exposure to interest rate volatility on future debt issuances by entering into forward starting interest rate swaps to lock in the rate on the interest payments related to the forecasted debt issuances. Pay fixed rate/receive variable rate forward starting interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash-flow hedges. The notional amount of outstanding forward starting interest rate swaps totaled
$250
at
October 28, 2012
and
$600
at
July 29, 2012
. Forward starting interest rate swaps with a notional value of
$400
were settled in August 2012, at a loss of
$2
, which was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The loss on the forward starting interest rate swaps will be amortized over the life of the 10-year debt issued in August 2012.
Commodity Price Risk
The company principally uses a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. The company also enters into commodity futures, options and swap contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of diesel fuel, soybean oil, aluminum, wheat, natural gas and cocoa, which impact the cost of raw materials. Commodity futures, options, and swap contracts are either accounted for as cash-flow hedges or are not designated as accounting hedges. The company hedges a portion of commodity requirements for periods typically up to
12
months. There were no commodity contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges as of
October 28, 2012
and
July 29, 2012
. The notional amount of commodity contracts not designated as accounting hedges was
$81
at
October 28, 2012
and
$95
at
July 29, 2012
.
Equity Price Risk
The company enters into swap contracts which hedge a portion of exposures relating to certain deferred compensation obligations linked to the total return of the company’s capital stock, the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index, the total return of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index and, beginning in April 2012, the total return of the Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index. Under these contracts, the company pays variable interest rates and receives from the counterparty either the total return on company capital stock; the total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which is expected to approximate the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index; the total return of the iShares MSCI EAFE Index, which is expected to approximate the total return of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index; or the total return of the Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index. These contracts were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and are entered into for periods typically not exceeding
12
months. The notional amounts of the contracts as of
October 28, 2012
and
July 29, 2012
were
$77
and
$75
, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
|
The company is required to categorize financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy:
|
•
|
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
•
|
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.
|
|
•
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
|
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. When available, the company uses unadjusted quoted
18
market prices to measure the fair value and classifies such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, the company bases fair value upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Included in the fair value of derivative instruments is an adjustment for credit and nonperformance risk.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents the company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of

The fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, and strategic performance restricted stock units is determined based on the quoted price of the company’s stock at the date of grant. Time-lapse restricted stock units are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. EPS performance restricted stock units are expensed on a graded-vesting basis, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. There were approximately
269 thousand
EPS performance target grants outstanding at
October 28, 2012
with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of
$34.29
. Strategic performance restricted stock units are expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period. Awards of the strategic performance restricted stock units will be earned based upon the achievement of two key metrics, net sales and EPS growth, compared to strategic plan objectives during a two-year period. There were approximately
1.8 million
strategic performance target grants outstanding at
October 28, 2012
with a grant-date fair value of
$33.22
. The actual number of EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date could range from
0%
to
100%
and
0%
to
200%
, respectively, of the initial grant, depending on actual performance achieved. Expense is estimated based on the number of awards expected to vest.
On July 1, 2011, the company issued approximately
400 thousand
special retention time-lapse restricted stock units to certain executives to support successful execution of the company’s shift in strategic direction and leadership transition. These awards vest over a period of
two years
and are included in the table above. The grant-date fair value was
$34.65
.
As of
October 28, 2012
, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units was
$97
, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of
1.7 years
. The fair value of restricted stock units vested during the
three-month
periods ended
October 28, 2012
and
October 30, 2011
, was
$38
and
$35
, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during
three-month
period ended
October 30, 2011
was

CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Description of the Company
Campbell Soup Company is a manufacturer and marketer of high-quality, branded convenience food products.
On August 6, 2012, the company completed the acquisition of BF Bolthouse Holdco LLC (Bolthouse Farms) from a fund managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, a private equity firm, for $1.550 billion in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. As of October 28, 2012, the preliminary purchase price adjustments resulted in an increase of the purchase price of
$20
million. The company funded the acquisition through a combination of short- and long-term borrowings. See Notes 3 and 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the acquisition.
The company reports the results of operations in the following reportable segments: U.S. Simple Meals; Global Baking and Snacking; International Simple Meals and Beverages; U.S. Beverages; and Bolthouse and Foodservice.
Executive Summary
This Executive Summary provides significant highlights from the discussion and analysis that follows.
|
•
|
Net sales
increased
8%
in the quarter to
$2.336 billion
, primarily due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms.
|
|
•
|
Gross profit, as a percent of sales, decreased to
37.0%
in the current quarter from
39.5%
a year ago. The decline was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms and the impact of restructuring-related costs recognized in the current year.
|
|
•
|
Net earnings per share for the quarter were $
.78
, compared to
$.82
a year ago. The current year included $.10 per share of expense from items impacting comparability, as discussed below.
|
Net earnings attributable to Campbell Soup Company
The following items impacted the comparability of net earnings and net earnings per share:
|
•
|
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 current quarter, the company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $22 million and restructuring-related costs of $21 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate $27 million after tax or $.09 per share) related to the initiatives; and
|
|
•
|
In fiscal 2013, the company incurred transaction costs of $10 million ($7 million after tax or $.02 per share) associated with the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms.

__________________________________________
* The sum of the individual per share amounts does not add due to rounding.
Net earnings were
$245 million
compared to
$265 million
a year ago. After adjusting for items impacting comparability, net earnings increased primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, and lower advertising and consumer promotion expenses, partially offset by higher administrative expenses. Earnings per share benefited from a reduction in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding, reflecting the impact of the company’s strategic share repurchase program in prior quarters.
23
Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests
The company owns a
60%
controlling interest in a joint venture formed with Swire Pacific Limited to support the development of the company’s business in China. The joint venture began operations on January 31, 2011. The noncontrolling interest’s share in the net loss was included in Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The company also owns a
70%
controlling interest in a Malaysian food products manufacturing company. The earnings were not material in 2013 or 2012.

|
In U.S. Simple Meals, sales
increased
3%
, reflecting increases in U.S. Soup and U.S. Sauces. U.S. Soup sales increased 2%. Further details of U.S. Soup include:
|
•
|
Sales of
Campbell’s
condensed soups decreased 1%, as declines in eating varieties were partially offset by gains in cooking varieties.
|
|
•
|
Sales of ready-to-serve soups increased 4%. Volume-driven gains in
Campbell's
Chunky
canned soups were partially offset by declines in microwavable soups.
Campbell's Go
soups, launched in the current quarter, also contributed to sales growth.
|
|
•
|
Broth sales rose 9%, primarily due to volume-driven gains in both aseptically packaged and canned products.
|
U.S. Sauces sales increased 4% primarily due to strong gains in
Prego
pasta sauces, the launch of
Campbell's
Skillet Sauces and growth in
Pace
Mexican sauces, partially offset by declines in gravy products.
In Global Baking and Snacking, sales
increased
1%
. Pepperidge Farm sales increased, driven by volume gains and higher selling prices, partially offset by increased promotional spending. Within Pepperidge Farm, cracker sales increased driven by solid gains in
Goldfish
snack crackers and the launch of
Jingos!,
while
sales of cookies and bakery products declined. Bakery sales were negatively impacted by increased promotional spending in response to competitive activity. In Arnott’s, sales increased primarily due to double-digit gains in Indonesia, as sales in Australia were comparable to a year ago.
In International Simple Meals and Beverages, sales
decreased
1%
primarily due to the impact of currency. In Europe, sales decreased primarily due to the impact of currency and declines in Germany. In Asia Pacific, sales increased due to growth in Japan
24
and Malaysia. In Canada, sales increased primarily due to the impact of currency and higher price realization. Sales in Latin America increased.
In U.S. Beverages, sales
decreased
5%
due to declines in
V8
vegetable juice and
V8 V-Fusion
beverages, partially offset by an increase in
V8 Splash
beverages.
In Bolthouse and Foodservice, the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms contributed $171 million to sales. North America Foodservice sales declined 6% primarily due to declines in frozen and canned soup products, partially offset by volume-driven gains in fresh chilled soup sold at retail.
Gross Profit
Gross profit, defined as Net sales less Cost of products sold,
increased
by
$11 million
in
2013
. As a percent of sales, gross profit
decreased
from
39.5%
in
2012
to
37.0%
in
2013
. The
2.5

and
12.1%
in
2012
. Marketing and selling expenses
decreased
3%
in
2013
from
2012
. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in advertising and consumer promotion expenses in the U.S. Soup business (approximately 6 percentage points); partially offset by the impact of the acquisition (approximately 2 percentage points).

in 2013 from 2012, primarily due to the impact of the acquisition (approximately 8 percentage points) and higher compensation and benefit costs, including pension expense (approximately 3 percentage points).

Earnings from U.S. Simple Meals
increased
5%
. The increase was primarily due to gains in U.S. Soup, partially offset by a decline in U.S. Sauces. For the segment, the benefits from productivity improvements; higher selling prices net of related volume impacts; and lower marketing expenses were partially offset by the impact of cost inflation.
Earnings from Global Baking and Snacking
decreased
3%
primarily due to lower earnings at Arnott’s and Pepperidge Farm, which were both negatively impacted by increased promotional spending.
Earnings from International Simple Meals and Beverages
increased
9%
. The increase was primarily due to an improved gross margin percentage.
Earnings from U.S. Beverages were comparable to a year ago as the impact of lower sales volume was offset by lower advertising and consumer promotion expense.
Earnings in Bolthouse and Foodservice
increased
due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, partially offset by lower earnings in North America Foodservice.
Unallocated corporate expenses in the current quarter include restructuring-related costs of $21 million and transaction costs of $10 million associated with the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms.
Interest Expense
Interest expense
increased
to
$36 million
in
2013
from
$30 million
in
2012
, reflecting a higher debt level due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, partially offset by lower interest rates.
Taxes on Earnings
The effective tax rate was
31.0%
for the current quarter compared to
32.2%
in the year-ago quarter. The reduction in the rate was primarily due to the favorable settlement of a U.S. state tax matter.
Restructuring Charges
2013 Initiatives
On September 27, 2012, 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. The company expects to eliminate approximately
727
positions in connection with the initiatives, which include the following:
|
•
|
The company will close its thermal plant in Sacramento, California, which produces soups, sauces and beverages. The closure will result in the elimination of approximately
700
full-time positions and will be completed in phases, with plans to cease operations in July 2013. The company plans to shift the majority of Sacramento's soup, sauce and beverage production to its thermal plants in Maxton, North Carolina; Napoleon, Ohio; and Paris, Texas.
|
|
•
|
The company will also close its spice plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey, which will result in the elimination of
27
positions. The company will consolidate spice production at its Milwaukee, Wisconsin, plant in 2013.
|
In the first quarter of
2013
, the company recorded a restructuring charge of
$22 million
related to these initiatives. In addition, approximately
$21 million
of costs related to these initiatives were recorded in Cost of products sold, primarily representing accelerated depreciation and other exit costs. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and related costs was
$27 million
, or
$.09
per share. A summary of the pre-tax costs and remaining costs associated with the initiatives is as follows:

Of the aggregate
$115 million
of pre-tax costs, the company expects approximately
$38 million
will be cash expenditures. In addition, the company expects to invest approximately
$27 million
in capital expenditures, primarily to relocate and refurbish a beverage filling and packaging line. The remaining cash outflows related to these programs are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the company’s liquidity.
The initiatives included in this program, once fully implemented, are expected to generate annual ongoing pre-tax cash savings of approximately $30 million beginning in 2016, with 2014 savings of approximately $21 million.
26
The total pre-tax costs of
$115 million
associated with segments are expected to be as follows: U.S. Simple Meals
$86 million
and U.S. Beverages
$29 million
. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges as segment performance is evaluated excluding such charges.
2011 Initiatives
On June 28, 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 exit the Russian market. Details of the initiatives include:
|
•
|
In Australia, the company is investing in a new system to automate packing operations at its biscuit plant in Virginia. This investment will occur through the second quarter of 2013 and will result in the elimination of approximately
190
positions. Further, the company improved asset utilization in the U.S. by shifting production of ready-to-serve soups from Paris, Texas, to other facilities in 2012. In addition, the manufacturing facility in Marshall, Michigan, was closed in 2011, and manufacturing of
Campbell’s Soup at Hand
microwavable products was consolidated at the Maxton, North Carolina, plant in 2012.
|
|
•
|
The company streamlined its salaried workforce by approximately
510
positions around the world, including approximately
130
positions at its world headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. These actions were substantially completed in 2011. As part of this initiative, the company outsourced a larger portion of its U.S. retail merchandising activities to its current retail sales agent, Acosta Sales and Marketing, and eliminated approximately
190
positions.
|
|
•
|
In connection with exiting the Russian market, the company has eliminated approximately
50
positions. The exit process commenced in 2011 and was substantially completed in 2012.
|
In
2012
, the company recorded a restructuring charge of
$10 million
(
$6 million
after tax or
$.02
per share). Of the amount recorded in
2012
,
$2 million
(
$1 million
after tax) was recorded in the first quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the company recorded

Of the aggregate
$75 million
of pre-tax costs, approximately
$50 million
represents cash expenditures, the majority of which was spent in 2012. In addition, the company expects to invest approximately
$40 million
in capital expenditures in connection with the actions, of which approximately $
21 million
has been invested as of
October 28, 2012
. The remaining cash outflows related to these programs are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the company’s liquidity. The initiatives are expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
The initiatives included in this program are expected to generate annual pre-tax cash savings of approximately $60 million beginning in 2012 and increasing to approximately $70 million in 2014.
The total pre-tax costs of
$75 million
associated with each segment are expected to be as follows: U.S. Simple Meals
$32 million
; Global Baking and Snacking
$15 million
; International Simple Meals and Beverages
$18 million
; U.S. Beverages
$3 million
; Bolthouse and Foodservice
$1 million
; and Corporate
$6 million
. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges as segment performance is evaluated excluding such charges.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The company expects that foreseeable liquidity and capital resource requirements, including cash outflows to repay debt, pay dividends and fund pension plan contributions, will be met through anticipated cash flows from operations; long-term borrowings under its shelf registration statement; short-term borrowings, including commercial paper; and cash and cash equivalents. The company believes that its sources of financing will be adequate to meet its future liquidity and capital resource requirements.
The company generated cash from operations of
$81 million
in
2013
, compared to
$73 million
last year. The improvement was primarily due to higher cash earnings in
2013
.
Capital expenditures were
$41 million
in
2013
compared to
$35 million
a year ago. To date, capital expenditures in
2013
included the packing automation and capacity expansion projects at one of the company’s Australian biscuit plants (approximately $5 million), an advanced planning system in North America (approximately $3 million), capacity expansion at Pepperidge Farm
27
(approximately $5 million), and a soup capacity expansion project for the North America Foodservice business (approximately $2 million). Capital expenditures are expected to total approximately
$330 million
in
2013
.
On August 6, 2012, the company completed the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms from a fund managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, a private equity firm, for
$1.550 billion
in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. As of
October 28, 2012
, the preliminary purchase price adjustments resulted in an increase of the purchase price of
$20 million
. The acquisition was funded through a combination of short- and long-term borrowings. Approximately
$326 million
was funded through the issuance of commercial paper. The terms of long-term borrowings, which were issued on August 2, 2012, were as follows:
|
•
|
$400 million
floating rate notes that mature on
August 1, 2014
. Interest on the notes is based on 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus
0.30%
. Interest is payable quarterly and commenced on November 1, 2012;
|
|
•
|
$450 million
of
2.50%
notes that mature on
August 2, 2022
. Interest is payable semi-annually commencing on February 2, 2013. The company may redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest or an amount designed to ensure that the note holders are not penalized by the early redemption; and
|
|
•
|
$400 million
of
3.80%
notes that mature on
August 2, 2042
. Interest is payable semi-annually commencing on February 2, 2013. The company may redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest or an amount designed to ensure that the note holders are not penalized by the early redemption.
|
The company repurchased approximately
480 thousand
shares at a cost of
$17 million
during the three-month period ended
October 28, 2012
and approximately
3 million
shares at a cost of
$85 million
during the three-month period ended
October 30, 2011
. Approximately $57 million was used in the prior-year quarter to repurchase shares pursuant to the company's June 2011 publicly announced share repurchase program. Approximately
$750 million
remains available to repurchase shares under the company's June 2011 repurchase program as of
October 28, 2012
. This program has no expiration date, although the company suspended purchases under this program in July 2012. In addition to the June 2011 publicly announced share repurchase program, the company also purchased shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. The company expects to continue this practice in the future. See “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for more information.
At
October 28, 2012
, the company had
$1.507 billion
of short-term borrowings due within one year and $44 million of standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the company. The company has committed revolving credit facilities totaling $2.0 billion. The facilities are comprised of a $500 million committed revolving credit facility that matures in September 2016, which was entered into in September 2012, and a $1.5 billion facility that matures in September 2016. These facilities remained unused at
October 28, 2012
, except for $3 million of standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the company. These revolving credit agreements support the company’s commercial paper programs and other general corporate purposes.
In November 2011, the company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registered an indeterminate amount of debt securities. Under the registration statement, the company may issue debt securities, depending on market conditions.
The company is in compliance with the covenants contained in its revolving credit facilities and debt securities.

|
|

•
|
the practices and increased significance of certain of the company’s key customers;

•
|
the impact of inventory management practices by the company’s customers;

The company disclaims any obligation or intent to update forward-looking statements made by the company in order to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they are made.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
a.
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
|
The company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President — Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of

29
|
b.
|
Changes in Internal Controls
|
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the company entered into a contract with a third-party service organization to provide finance and accounting services, including portions of credit operations, accounts payable, master data management and accounting services for North America and Australia, as well as certain U.S. payroll services. The company began transitioning these services in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, with the full transition expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2013. The ongoing transition has materially affected the company's internal control over financial reporting.
On August 6, 2012, the company completed the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms. The company is currently integrating Bolthouse Farms into its control environment. In executing this integration, the company is analyzing, evaluating, and, where necessary, making changes in controls and procedures related to the Bolthouse Farms business. The ongoing integration process has materially affected the company's internal control over financial reporting.
Except for the foregoing, there were no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were likely to materially affect, such control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 28, 2012.

PART II
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 6, 2012, Wm. Bolthouse Farms, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the company (Wm. Bolthouse), received a Notice of Violation (NOV) from the City of Bakersfield alleging that Wm. Bolthouse discharged industrial waste into the city's sewer lines leading to the city's wastewater treatment facility without an industrial user permit in violation of the City of Bakersfield Municipal Code. The NOV requests Wm. Bolthouse to (i) discontinue the alleged discharges, (ii) install monitoring equipment and submit to periodic testing by the city, and (iii) pay a fee of approximately $985,000. As of October 28, 2012, Wm. Bolthouse incurred costs of approximately $15,000 relating to this matter, all of which was incurred in fiscal 2013. The company does not expect the costs related to this matter, including the requested fee, to have a material impact on the consolidated financial condition or results of operation of the company.
