NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q. In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires us to use our judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

A detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On June 16, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. This ASU removes the current presentation guidance and requires comprehensive income to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 does not change current accounting and adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance using the two separate but consecutive statements approach.

On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU provides converged guidance on how (not when) to measure fair value. The ASU provides expanded disclosure requirements and other amendments, including those that eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s disclosures or fair value measurements as presented in Note 19.

3. Facility Closings

As of December 31, 2011, the Company closed its pickle plant in Springfield, Missouri. Production ceased in August 2011 and has been transferred to other pickle facilities. Production at the Springfield facility was primarily related to the Food Away From Home segment. Closure costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were insignificant. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, costs of $0.8 million consisted of severance and disposal costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, costs relating to this closure consisted of a fixed asset impairment charge of $2.3 million; $0.3 million of severance and $0.6 million for disposal costs. These costs are included in Other operating (income) expense, net line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

4. Acquisitions

On April 13, 2012, the Company closed its previously announced acquisition of substantially all the assets of Naturally Fresh, Inc. (“Naturally Fresh”), a privately owned Atlanta, Georgia based manufacturer of refrigerated dressings, sauces, marinades, dips and specialty items sold within each of our segments. Naturally Fresh has annual revenues of approximately $80 million. The purchase price is approximately $26 million, net of cash, subject to an adjustment for working capital and taxes. The acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The acquisition will expand the Company’s refrigerated manufacturing and packaging capabilities, broaden its distribution footprint and further develop its presence within the growing category of fresh foods. Naturally Fresh’s Atlanta facility coupled with the Company’s existing West Coast and Chicago based refrigerated food plants, will allow the Company to more efficiently service customers from coast to coast.

The acquisition is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition and are in each of our segments. Included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are net sales of $18.6 million and a loss of $1.6 million from the Naturally Fresh acquisition. At the date of acquisition, the purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon fair market values, and is subject to working capital and tax adjustments. No goodwill was created with this acquisition and an insignificant bargain purchase gain was recognized and recorded in the Other operating (income) expense, net line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Prior to recognizing the gain, the Company reassessed the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The insignificant bargain purchase gain is the result of the difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the purchase price. Pro forma disclosures related to the transaction are not included since they are not considered material. We have made an allocation to net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

The Company increased the cost of inventories by $0.4 million, and expensed the amount as a component of cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2012. The Company incurred approximately $0.8 million in acquisition related costs. These costs are included in the General and administrative expense line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 29.0% and 29.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 32.5% and 33.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate is favorably impacted by an intercompany financing structure entered into in conjunction with the E.D. Smith acquisition in 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 2011 is attributable to the tax impact of the repayment of certain intercompany debt and a decrease in the Canadian statutory tax rate.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company does not believe that its gross recorded unrecognized tax benefits will materially change within the next 12 months.

During the second quarter of 2012, the IRS initiated an examination of TreeHouse Foods’ 2010 tax year, the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) initiated an examination of the E.D. Smith 2008 and 2009 tax years, and during the fourth quarter of 2011 the IRS initiated an examination of S.T. Specialty Foods, Inc.’s (“S.T. Specialty Foods”) pre-acquisition tax year ended October 28, 2010. The outcome of the examinations is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has various state tax examinations in process, which are expected to be completed in 2012 or 2013. The outcome of the various state tax examinations is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 10, 2012, the Company repaid its cross-border intercompany loans with its Canadian subsidiary, E.D. Smith. The repayment totaled $67.7 million and included both principal and interest. Payment was financed with borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The loans were fully repaid and canceled at the time of payment. The cash will be held by E.D. Smith in short term investments, and the Company expects to use the cash for general corporate purposes in Canada, including capital projects and acquisitions. The cash relates to foreign earnings that, if repatriated, would result in a tax liability.

High Yield Notes — The Company’s 7.75% high yield notes in aggregate principal amount of $400 million are due March 1, 2018. The high yield notes are guaranteed by the Company’s 100 percent owned subsidiary Bay Valley Foods, LLC and its 100 percent owned subsidiaries EDS Holdings, LLC; Sturm Foods, Inc.; and S.T. Specialty Foods and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries that may become guarantors from time to time in accordance with the applicable Indenture and may fully, jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s payment obligations under any series of debt securities offered. The Indenture governing the high yield notes provides, among other things, that the high yield notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants of which the Company is in compliance as of June 30, 2012.

Senior Notes — The Company has outstanding $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.03% senior notes due September 30, 2013, issued in a private placement pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement among the Company and a group of purchasers. The Note Purchase Agreement contains covenants that will limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with other entities, change the nature of the business, create liens, incur additional indebtedness or sell assets. The Note Purchase Agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Company is in compliance with the applicable covenants as of June 30, 2012.

Tax Increment Financing —The Company owes $2.1 million related to redevelopment bonds pursuant to a Tax Increment Financing Plan and has agreed to make certain payments with respect to the principal amount of the bonds through May 2019.

11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of common shares used in the diluted earnings per share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method and includes the incremental effect related to the Company’s outstanding stock-based compensation awards.

The following table summarizes the effect of the share-based compensation awards on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share:

Compensation costs related to unvested options totaled $6.8 million at June 30, 2012 and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the grants, which averages 2.5 years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock options issued in 2012 include the following: expected volatility of 32.85%, expected term of six years, risk free rate of 1.15% and no dividends. The average grant date fair value of stock options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $20.85. Stock options issued during the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled 256 thousand. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The tax benefit recognized from stock option exercises was $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In addition to stock options, the Company may also grant restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance unit awards. These awards are granted under our long-term incentive plan. Employee restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards generally vest based on the passage of time. These awards generally vest one-third on each anniversary of the grant date. Director restricted stock units vest, generally, on the anniversary of the thirteenth month of the award. Beginning with the 2012 grant, Director restricted stock units will vest on the first annual anniversary of the grant date. Certain directors have deferred receipt of their awards until their departure from the Board of Directors.

Performance unit awards are granted to certain members of management. These awards contain service and performance conditions. For each of the three performance periods, one third of the units will accrue, multiplied by a predefined percentage between 0% and 200%, depending on the achievement of certain operating performance measures. Additionally, for the cumulative performance period, a number of units will accrue, equal to the number of units granted multiplied by a predefined percentage between 0% and 200%, depending on the achievement of certain operating performance measures, less any units previously accrued. Accrued units will be converted to stock or cash, at the discretion of the compensation committee, generally, on the third anniversary of the grant date. The Company intends to settle these awards in stock and has the shares available to do so. On June 29, 2012, based on achievement of operating performance measures, 46,959 performance units were converted into 93,918 shares of stock. Conversion of these shares was based on attainment of at least 120% of the target performance goals, and resulted in the vesting awards being converted into two shares of stock for each performance unit. The following table summarizes the performance unit activity during the six months ended June 30, 2012:

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation, Investigations and Audits — The Company is party in the ordinary course of business to certain claims, litigation, audits and investigations. The Company believes that it has established adequate reserves to satisfy any liability that may be incurred in connection with any such currently pending or threatened matters. The settlement of any such currently pending or threatened matters is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.

18. Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by derivative instruments include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. Derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposure and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures.

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 to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates, to reduce the volatility of our financing costs, and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions, with a bias toward fixed-rate debt.

Due to the Company’s operations in Canada, we are exposed to foreign currency risks. The Company enters into foreign currency contracts to manage the risk associated with foreign currency cash flows. The Company’s objective in using foreign currency contracts is to establish a fixed foreign currency exchange rate for the net cash flow requirements for purchases that are denominated in U.S. dollars. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and changes in their fair value are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, with their fair value recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Certain commodities we use in the production and distribution of our products are exposed to market price risk. The Company utilizes a combination of derivative contracts, purchase orders and various short and long term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials to manage commodity price risk. Commodity forward contracts generally qualify for the normal purchase exception under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and therefore are not subject to its provisions.

The Company’s commodity contracts may include diesel, oil and certain plastics. The Company’s diesel contracts are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the underlying cost of diesel fuel used to deliver products. The contracts for oil and plastics are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the underlying commodity cost of a significant component used in packaging materials. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding oil contracts with a notional amount of 18,000 barrels which expired March 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding contracts for plastics with a notional amount of 7.0 million pounds and diesel contracts with a notional amount of 1.9 million gallons both expiring December 31, 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value. Accounts payable are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value.

The fair value of the revolving credit facility, senior notes, high yield notes and commodity contracts are determined using Level 2 inputs. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the revolving credit facility and senior notes were estimated using present value techniques and market based interest rates and credit spreads. The fair value of the Company’s high yield notes was estimated based on quoted market prices for similar instruments.

The value of the commodity contracts is based on an analysis comparing the contract rates to the forward curve rates throughout the term of the contracts. The commodity contracts are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

20. Segment and Geographic Information and Major Customers

The Company manages operations on a company-wide basis, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources in total rather than on a segment-level basis. The Company has designated reportable segments based on how management views its business. The Company does not segregate assets between segments for internal reporting. Therefore, asset-related information has not been presented. The reportable segments, as presented below, are consistent with the manner in which the Company reports its results to the chief operating decision maker.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on net sales dollars and direct operating income (gross profit less freight out, sales commissions and direct selling and marketing expenses). The amounts in the following tables are obtained from reports used by senior management and do not include income taxes. Other expenses not allocated include unallocated selling and distribution expenses and corporate expenses which consist of general and administrative expenses, amortization expense, other operating expense, interest expense, foreign currency exchange and other income. The accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The following discussion and analysis presents the factors that had a material effect on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Also discussed is our financial position as of the end of those periods. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to those Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

We discuss the following segments in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: North American Retail Grocery, Food Away From Home, and Industrial and Export. The key performance indicators of our segments are net sales dollars and direct operating income, which is gross profit less the cost of transporting products to customer locations (referred to in the tables below as “freight out”), commissions paid to independent sales brokers, and direct selling and marketing expenses.

Our current operations consist of the following:

Our North American Retail Grocery segment sells branded and private label products to customers within the United States and Canada. These products include non-dairy powdered creamers; condensed and ready to serve soups, broths and gravies; salad dressings and sauces; pickles and related products; Mexican sauces; jams and pie fillings; aseptic products; liquid non-dairy creamer; powdered drinks; hot cereals; macaroni and cheese and skillet dinners.

Our Food Away From Home segment sells non-dairy powdered creamers, pickle products, Mexican sauces, refrigerated dressings, aseptic products and hot cereals to foodservice customers, including restaurant chains and food distribution companies, within the United States and Canada.

Our Industrial and Export segment includes the Company’s co-pack business and non-dairy powdered creamer sales to industrial customers for use in industrial applications, including products for repackaging in portion control packages and for use as ingredients by other food manufacturers; pickles; Mexican sauces; infant feeding products and refrigerated dressings. Export sales are primarily to industrial customers outside of North America.

The environment the Company operates in continues to be one that is challenged by the overall state of the economy, increased competition, and reduced volume. Also impacting the industry is continued volatility in energy and commodity prices. While energy and commodity costs trended lower earlier this year, they have increased recently due in part, to hot and dry weather, resulting in reduced expected production volume of agricultural commodities, and thus increasing future input costs. However, as a result of our purchasing programs, the Company does not expect that these higher costs will impact a large portion of our input costs this year.

Throughout the year, and consistent with our peers, sales volume growth has been challenging. However, the Company has been able to achieve an increase in net sales on a year to date basis over the same period last year, due to price increases while maintaining a relatively flat volume/mix. Additionally, the Company has continued to see a shift in sales to alternate retail channels, including dollar store, discount and limited assortment formats.

Recent Developments

On August 7, 2012, the Company decided, following a strategic review of the soup category and its related business, to streamline its manufacturing capacity and close the Mendota, Illinois soup plant. Production at the Mendota facility is expected to cease in the first quarter of 2013, with full plant closure expected in the second quarter of 2013. Total costs to close the Mendota facility are expected to be approximately $17.7 million. Components of the charges include non-cash asset write-offs of approximately $11.4 million, severance of approximately $2.6 million, and other closure costs of approximately $3.7 million. Production will be moved to the Company’s Pittsburgh soup facility.

The Company will also close its salad dressing plant in Seaforth, Ontario, Canada and move production to facilities where the Company has lower production costs resulting from the recently completed capacity expansion. Production at the Seaforth, Ontario facility is expected to cease in the second quarter of 2013, with full plant closure expected in the third quarter of 2013. Total costs to close the Seaforth facility are expected to be approximately $17.3 million. Components of the charges include non-cash asset write-offs of approximately $10.9 million, severance of approximately $4.0 million, and other closure costs of approximately $2.4 million.

On June 6, 2012, the Company recalled 74,000 boxes of pasta mix products based on information from a supplier that it provided the Company with a seasoning blend that may potentially contain small metal fragments. There have been no reports of any injury or illness associated with the recalled products. The recall is not expected to impact the Company’s relationship with its customers and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On April 13, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Naturally Fresh, Inc. (“Naturally Fresh”), a privately owned Atlanta, Georgia based manufacturer of refrigerated dressings, sauces, marinades, dips and specialty items sold within each of our segments. Naturally Fresh has annual revenues of approximately $80 million. The Company paid a purchase price of approximately $26 million for the business, net of cash, subject to an adjustment for working capital and taxes. The acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The acquisition will expand the Company’s refrigerated manufacturing and packaging capabilities, broaden its distribution footprint and further develop its presence within the growing category of fresh foods. Naturally Fresh’s Atlanta facility, coupled with the Company’s existing West Coast and Chicago based refrigerated food plants, will allow the Company to more efficiently service customers from coast to coast.

On January 10, 2012, the Company repaid its cross-border intercompany loans with its Canadian subsidiary, E.D. Smith. The repayment totaled $67.7 million and included both principal and interest. Payment was financed with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The loans were fully repaid and canceled at the time of payment. The cash will be held by E.D. Smith in short term investments as cash and cash equivalents. We expect to use the cash for general corporate purposes in Canada, including capital projects and acquisitions. The cash relates to foreign earnings that, if repatriated, would result in a tax liability.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Net Sales — Second quarter net sales increased 7.1% to $527.4 million in 2012 compared to $492.6 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily driven by increases in pricing needed to offset higher input costs and the acquisition of Naturally Fresh. Net sales by segment are shown in the following table:

Total

$ 527,421 $ 492,620 $ 34,801 7.1 %

Cost of Sales — All expenses incurred to bring a product to completion are included in cost of sales. These costs include raw materials, ingredient and packaging costs, labor costs, facility and equipment costs, costs to operate and maintain our warehouses, and costs associated with transporting our finished products from our manufacturing facilities to distribution centers. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 79.8% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 77.8% in 2011. Contributing to the increase in cost of sales, as a percent of net sales, is an increase in input costs and higher cost of sales associated with the acquisition of Naturally Fresh. The underlying commodity costs of raw materials and packaging supplies continues to trend higher in 2012.

Operating Expenses — Total operating expenses were $65.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $75.8 million in 2011. The decrease in 2012 resulted from the following:

Selling and distribution expenses decreased $1.7 million or 4.8% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to decreased distribution and delivery costs resulting from the efficiencies of last year’s warehouse consolidation program partially offset by higher fuel costs and the acquisition of Naturally Fresh.

General and administrative expenses decreased $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 2011. The decrease is primarily related to decreases in incentive based compensation expense partially offset by the acquisition of Naturally Fresh.

Other operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was insignificant compared to expense of $1.3 million in 2011 that was primarily due to facility closing costs of the Springfield, Missouri pickle plant.

Amortization expense increased $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 2011, due primarily to the amortization of additional ERP system costs.

Interest Expense — Interest expense decreased to $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $13.5 million in 2011 due to a decrease in interest rates.

Foreign Currency — The Company’s foreign currency gain was $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to a gain of $0.9 million in 2011, primarily due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the U.S. and Canadian dollar.

Other Expense — Other expense was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to a gain of $0.2 million in 2011, primarily due to mark to market losses on commodity contracts.

Income Taxes — Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 29.0% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 32.5% in the prior year’s quarter. This decrease is due to the tax impact of the repayment of certain intercompany debt and a decrease in the Canadian statutory tax rate.

Freight out and commissions paid to independent sales brokers were $16.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $19.2 million in 2011, a decrease of 14.7%, primarily due to the efficiencies resulting from last year’s warehouse consolidation program partially offset by higher fuel costs.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, increased from 79.1% in the first six months of 2011 to 83.1% in 2012 primarily due to cost increases in raw material, ingredient and packaging costs offset by price increases.

Freight out and commissions paid to independent sales brokers were $3.2 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $2.4 million in 2011. This increase is due to a change in customer mix.

Direct selling and marketing was $0.8 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $1.1 million in 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

Management assesses the Company’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company continues to generate substantial cash flow from operating activities and remains in a strong financial position, with resources available for reinvestment in existing businesses, acquisitions and managing its capital structure on a short and long-term basis. If additional borrowings are needed, approximately $306.5 million was available under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2012. See Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our revolving credit facility. We believe that, given our cash flow from operating activities and our available credit capacity, we can comply with the current terms of the revolving credit facility and meet foreseeable financial requirements.

The Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized in the following tables:

Our cash from operations was $94.6 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $71.0 million 2011, an increase of $23.6 million. The increase in cash from operating activities is primarily due to an increase in net income, and a smaller buildup of inventories relative to the prior year.

In the first six months of 2012, cash used in investing activities increased by $26.6 million compared to 2011 primarily due to the acquisition of Naturally Fresh.

We expect capital spending programs to be approximately $90 million in 2012. Capital spending in 2012 will focus on food safety, quality, productivity improvements, product line expansion at our Manawa, Wisconsin facility, continued implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning system and routine equipment upgrades or replacements at our plants.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities

$ 36,029 $ (42,922 )

Net cash flow from financing activities increased from a use of cash of $43.0 million in the first six months of 2011 to a source of cash of $36.0 million in 2012 as the result of additional borrowings in 2012 that were used to repay certain intercompany loans of $67.7 million with the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, E.D. Smith and $25.0 million for the acquisition of Naturally Fresh.

On January 10, 2012, the Company repaid its cross border intercompany loans with its Canadian subsidiary, E.D. Smith. The repayment totaled $67.7 million and included both principal and interest. Payment was financed with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The loans were fully repaid and canceled at the time of payment. The cash will be held by E.D. Smith in short term investments and we expect to use the cash for general corporate purposes in Canada, including capital projects and acquisitions. The cash relates to foreign earnings that, if repatriated, would result in a tax liability.

Cash provided by operating activities is used to pay down debt and fund additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Our short-term financing needs are primarily for financing working capital during the year. Due to the seasonality of harvest cycles which occur primarily during late spring and summer, inventories generally are at a low point in late spring and at a high point during the fall, increasing our working capital requirements. In addition, we build inventories of salad dressings in the spring and soup in the late summer months in anticipation of large seasonal shipments that begin late in the second and third quarters, respectively. Our long-term financing needs will depend largely on potential acquisition activity. We expect our revolving credit facility, plus cash flow from operations, to be adequate to provide liquidity for current operations.

Debt Obligations

At June 30, 2012, we had $434.3 million in borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, $400 million of 7.75% high yield notes outstanding, $100 million of senior notes outstanding and $7.9 million of tax increment financing and other obligations. In addition, at June 30, 2012, there were $9.2 million in letters of credit under the revolving credit facility that were issued but undrawn.

Our revolving credit facility provides for an aggregate commitment of $750 million, of which $306.5 million was available at June 30, 2012. Interest rates on debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2012 averaged 1.71%.

We are in compliance with applicable debt covenants as of June 30, 2012.

See Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our indebtedness and related agreements.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We also have the following commitments and contingent liabilities, in addition to contingent liabilities related to the ordinary course of litigation, investigations and tax audits:

certain lease obligations, and

selected levels of property and casualty risks, primarily related to employee health care, workers’ compensation claims and other casualty losses.

See Note 17 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I — Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and Note 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 for more information about our commitments and contingent obligations.

Forward Looking Statements

From time to time, we and our representatives may provide information, whether orally or in writing, including certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are deemed to be “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Litigation Reform Act”). These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other public statements we make. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we may be a party; the impact of product recalls; actions of competitors; changes and developments affecting our industry; quarterly or cyclical variations in financial results; our ability to obtain suitable pricing for our products; development of new products and services; our level of indebtedness; the availability of financing on commercially reasonable terms; cost of borrowing; our ability to maintain and improve cost efficiency of operations; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; interest rates; raw material and commodity costs; changes in economic conditions; political conditions; reliance on third parties for manufacturing of products and provision of services; general U.S. and global economic conditions; the financial condition of our customers and suppliers; consolidations in the retail grocery and foodservice industries; our ability to continue to make acquisitions in accordance with our business strategy or effectively manage the growth from acquisitions; and other risks that are set forth in the Risk Factors section, the Legal Proceedings section, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Fluctuations

The Company is party to an unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate commitment of $750 million. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and will be determined by either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.60% or a base rate (as defined in the revolving credit facility) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.60%.

Table of Contents

In July 2006, we entered into a forward interest rate swap transaction for a notional amount of $100 million as a hedge of the forecasted private placement of $100 million senior notes. The interest rate swap transaction was terminated on August 31, 2006, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $1.8 million. The unamortized loss is reflected, net of tax, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The loss is reclassified ratably to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as an increase to interest expense over the term of the senior notes, providing an effective interest rate of 6.29% over the term of our senior notes.

We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes or hold any derivative financial instruments, which could expose us to significant interest rate market risk, as of June 30, 2012. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the increase in the amount of interest expense we expect to pay with respect to our revolving credit facility, which is tied to variable market rates. Based on our outstanding debt balance of $434.3 million under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2012, each 1% rise in our interest rate would increase our interest expense by approximately $4.3 million annually.

Input Costs

The costs of raw materials, packaging materials and fuel, have varied widely in recent years and future changes in such costs may cause our results of operations and our operating margins to fluctuate significantly. We experienced increases in costs of most raw materials, ingredients, and packaging materials in the first six months of 2012 compared to 2011. In addition, fuel costs, which represent the most important factor affecting utility costs at our production facilities, as well as our transportation costs increased in the first six months of 2012. We expect the volatile nature of these costs to continue with an overall upward trend.

We manage the cost of certain raw materials by entering into forward purchase contracts. Forward purchase contracts help us manage our business and reduce cost volatility.

We use a significant amount of fruits and vegetables in our operations as raw materials. Certain of these fruits and vegetables are purchased under seasonal grower contracts with a variety of growers strategically located to supply our production facilities. Bad weather or disease in a particular growing area can damage or destroy the crop in that area. If we are unable to buy the fruits and vegetables from local suppliers, we would purchase them from more distant locations, including other locations within the United States, Mexico or India, thereby increasing our production costs.

Changes in the prices of our products may lag behind changes in the costs of our products. Competitive pressures also may limit our ability to quickly raise prices in response to increased raw materials, packaging and fuel costs. Accordingly, if we are unable to increase our prices to offset increasing raw material, packaging and fuel costs, our operating profits and margins could be materially adversely affected. In addition, in instances of declining input costs, customers may be looking for price reductions in situations where we have locked into pricing at higher costs.

Fluctuations in Foreign Currencies

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the value of our foreign currency investment in E.D. Smith, located in Canada. Input costs for certain Canadian sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, further impacting the effect foreign currency fluctuations may have on the Company.

The Company’s financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which require the Canadian assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses to be translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. Accordingly, we are exposed to volatility in the translation of foreign currency earnings due to fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar, which may negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Company recognized a net loss of $2.2 million, of which a loss of $1.8 million was recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and a loss of $0.4 million was recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within the Loss on foreign currency exchange. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized a net foreign currency exchange gain of $6.8 million, of which a gain of $7.4 million was recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and a loss of $0.6 million was recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within the Loss on foreign currency exchange.

The Company enters into foreign currency contracts due to the exposure to Canadian/U.S. dollar currency fluctuations on cross border transactions. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts and records them at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contracts were entered into for the purchase of U.S. dollar denominated raw materials by our Canadian subsidiary. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had a liability of $0.1 million and realized a gain of approximately $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011. There were no foreign currency contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These controls and procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), together with management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. We have excluded Naturally Fresh from our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012 because Naturally Fresh was acquired by the Company on April 13, 2012. The net sales and total assets of Naturally Fresh represented approximately 3.5% and 1.3%, respectively, of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement amounts as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

TreeHouse Foods, Inc.

Oak Brook, IL

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
