As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013

(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, 2012. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company reclassified the “loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange” into the “other” line item in cash flows from operating activities, as the amounts are not material and this change will result in a presentation format that is consistent with others in our industry. This reclassification had no effect on operating cash flows, or total cash flows for the periods presented.

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, 2012.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). This ASU expands the disclosure requirements by requiring an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and present separately any reclassification adjustments and current period OCI. This ASU also requires disclosure of the individual income statement line items affected by the amounts reclassified out of AOCI. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. This ASU does not change the accounting for AOCI, and only requires new disclosures. See Note 14 for the required disclosures. The Company does not believe this ASU has a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Restructuring

Soup restructuring - On August 7, 2012, following a strategic review of the soup category, the Company announced a restructuring plan that includes the closure of its Mendota, Illinois soup plant. Subsequently, the Company amended the plan to include reductions to the cost structure of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania facility by reorganizing and simplifying the soup business at the Pittsburgh facility. The restructuring is expected to reduce manufacturing costs by streamlining operations and transferring production to the Company’s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania soup plant. Production at the Mendota facility was primarily related to the North American Retail Grocery segment. Production ended as of December 31, 2012, with full plant closure expected in the second quarter of 2013. Total costs are expected to be approximately $20.5 million as detailed below, of which $5.6 million is expected to be in cash. The total expected costs have not changed since the year ended December 31, 2012. Expenses associated with the restructuring are primarily aggregated in the Other operating expense, net line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, with the exception of accelerated depreciation, which is recorded in Cost of sales.

Seaforth, Ontario, Canada - On August 7, 2012, the Company announced the closure of its salad dressing plant in Seaforth, Ontario, Canada and the transfer of production to facilities where the Company has lower production costs. Production at the Seaforth, Ontario facility is primarily related to the North American Retail Grocery segment and is expected to end 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 $13.4 million as detailed below, of which $5.9 million is expected to be in cash. The total expected costs increased from $12.8 million, as of December 31, 2012, as estimates were refined. Expenses incurred associated with the facility closure are primarily aggregated in the Other operating expense, net line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain costs, primarily accelerated depreciation, are recorded in Cost of sales.

During the third quarter of 2012, and concurrent with the restructurings as noted above, the Company reviewed the fixed assets for impairment at the product category level and no impairment was indicated. During the review, the useful lives of the related assets were reassessed and shortened to be consistent with the dates that production at the facilities were expected to end. The change in estimated useful lives related to the restructurings resulted in accelerated depreciation of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Below is a summary of the restructuring costs:

Naturally Fresh restructuring - As disclosed in Note 4, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Naturally Fresh, Inc. (“Naturally Fresh”) in the second quarter of 2012. Subsequent to the acquisition, during the third quarter of 2012, the Company closed the trucking operations of Naturally Fresh that were acquired in the purchase.

Liabilities recorded as of March 31, 2013 associated with the restructurings of the Soup category, Seaforth facility, and Naturally Fresh relate to severance and are included in the Accounts payable and accrued expenses line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The table below presents a reconciliation of the severance liability as of March 31, 2013.

Springfield, MO - 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. No closure costs were incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, total closure costs were $0.2 million. These costs are included in the Other operating expense, net line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company classifies assets as held for sale in the amount of $4.1 million, resulting from the closure of our Portland pickle facility in 2008. The assets are valued at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value, less the cost to sell. The assets are not depreciated. The Company expects the assets to be sold within the next twelve months.

4. Acquisitions

On November 30, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of selected assets of the aseptic cheese and pudding business from Associated Milk Producers Inc. (“AMPI”), a dairy marketing cooperative based in New Ulm, Minnesota. The business was integrated into the Company’s existing aseptic operations within its Food Away From Home segment, and increased the Company’s presence in the aseptic category. The purchase price was $4.0 million. The acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Components of the acquisition include fixed assets and intangible assets such as customer lists, formulas and goodwill. 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. There were no acquisition costs. Due to the size and timing of this acquisition, it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. As such, the Company has not presented pro forma disclosures. There have been no changes to the purchase price allocation in 2013.

On April 13, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all the assets of Naturally Fresh, a privately owned Atlanta, Georgia based manufacturer of refrigerated dressings, sauces, marinades, dips and specialty items sold within each of our segments. The purchase price was approximately $26 million, net of cash. The acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The acquisition expanded the Company’s refrigerated manufacturing and packaging capabilities, broadened its distribution footprint and further developed 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, is expected to 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. Pro forma disclosures related to the transaction are not included since they are not considered material. There have been no changes to the purchase price allocation in 2013.

5. Investments

We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and reevaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company accounts for investments in debt and marketable equity securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on their classification. The investments held by the Company are classified as trading securities and are stated at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of the Interest income line on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Cash flows from purchases, sales and maturities of trading securities are included in cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the nature and purpose for which the securities were acquired.

Our investments are considered trading securities and include U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity and fixed income securities that are classified as short-term investments and carried at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity, and fixed income securities are classified as short-term investments as they have characteristics of other current assets and are actively managed.

We consider temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $91.8 million and $94.1 million, respectively, represents cash and equivalents held in Canada, in local currency, and is convertible into other currencies. The cash and equivalents held in Canada is expected to be used for general corporate purposes in Canada, including capital projects and acquisitions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized net unrealized gains totaling $0.4 million that are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. When securities are sold, their cost is determined based on the first-in, first-out method.

6. Inventories

Approximately $74.0 million and $77.7 million of our inventory was accounted for under the Last-in, First-out (“LIFO”) method of accounting at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

7. Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation expense was $18.4 million and $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is $5.5 million of accelerated depreciation.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are as follows:

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of intangible assets other than goodwill as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

10. Income Taxes

Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 31.1% and 30.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate is favorably impacted by an intercompany financing structure entered into in conjunction with the E.D. Smith Foods, Ltd. (“E.D. Smith”) acquisition in 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 2012 is attributable to an increase in state tax expense.

During the second quarter of 2012, the IRS initiated an examination of TreeHouse Foods’ 2010 tax year and the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) initiated an examination of the E.D. Smith 2008, 2009, and 2010 tax years. The TreeHouse Foods’ and E.D. Smith examinations are expected to be completed in 2013 or 2014. The Company has examinations in process with various state taxing authorities, which are expected to be completed in 2013 or 2014.

Management estimates that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by as much as $6.0 million within the next 12 months, primarily as a result of the resolution of audits currently in progress and the lapsing of statutes of limitations.

Revolving Credit Facility — The Company is party to an unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate commitment of $750 million, of which $381.7 million was available as of March 31, 2013. The revolving credit facility matures September 23, 2016. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, there were $10.8 million in letters of credit under the revolving credit facility that were issued but undrawn. Our revolving credit facility contains various financial and other restrictive covenants and requires that the Company maintains certain financial ratios, including a leverage and interest coverage ratio. The Company is in compliance with all applicable covenants as of March 31, 2013. The Company’s average interest rate on debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 1.67%.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains covenants that 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 March 31, 2013. The Company will continue to classify these notes as long term, as the Company has the ability and intent to refinance them on a long-term basis using our revolving credit facility or other long-term financing arrangements.

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.

12. 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:

13. Stock-Based Compensation

Income before income taxes for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 includes share-based compensation expense of $3.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The tax benefit recognized related to the compensation cost of these share-based awards was approximately $1.3 million and $0.9 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Stock options are granted under our long-term incentive plan, and generally have a three year vesting schedule, which vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Stock options expire ten years from the grant date.

Compensation costs related to unvested options totaled $5.0 million at March 31, 2013 and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the grants, which averages 2.0 years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The tax benefit recognized from stock option exercises was $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. Certain directors have deferred receipt of their awards until their departure from the Board of Directors, or a specified date. The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity during the three months ended March 31, 2013. There are no restricted stock awards outstanding as of December 31, 2012 or March 31, 2013.

Future compensation costs related to restricted stock units is approximately $10.1 million as of March 31, 2013, and will be recognized on a weighted average basis, over the next 1.8 years. The grant date fair value of the awards granted in 2013 is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. The restricted stock and restricted stock units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 had a fair value on the vest date of $1.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

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 March 2, 2013, based on achievement of operating performance measures, 1,225 performance units were converted into 2,450 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 three months ended March 31, 2013:
