$0.88

First-Quarter Sales Rose 8 Percent to $2.336 Billion

Fiscal 2013 Guidance Confirmed

CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 20, 2012–
Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) today reported its results for
the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

First-Quarter Overview

• Reported Sales Increased 8 Percent; Organic Sales Increased 1
  Percent
• Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) Increased 5
  Percent, 2 Percent Excluding the Acquisition of Bolthouse Farms
• U.S. Simple Meals Sales Grew 3 Percent, With Soup Sales Up 2
  Percent; Earnings Increased 5 Percent
• U.S. Beverages Sales Declined 5 Percent; Earnings Comparable To a
  Year Ago
• Campbell Completed the Acquisition of Bolthouse Farms on Aug. 6,
  2012
• Campbell Recorded Charges Related To the Previously Announced Sept.
  2012 Restructuring Program

Net earnings for the quarter ended Oct. 28, 2012, were $245 million, or
$0.78 per share, compared with $265 million, or $0.82 per share, in the
prior year. The current quarter’s reported net earnings included
transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, as
well as charges associated with the Sept. 2012 restructuring program.
Excluding these items impacting comparability, adjusted net earnings
increased 5 percent to $279 million, and adjusted net earnings per share
increased 7 percent to $0.88 in the current quarter. A detailed
reconciliation of the reported financial information to the adjusted
information is included at the end of this news release.

Denise Morrison, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
“We are encouraged by our performance in the first quarter and feel
good about the progress we’ve made in executing our three growth
strategies.

“In our largest business, U.S. Simple Meals, we generated sales growth
both in U.S. Soup and in U.S. Sauces, driven by innovation in our base
business and by new product introductions. Our recently acquired
Bolthouse Farms business performed very well in the quarter, and we
remain excited about the growth platform it provides Campbell in the
packaged fresh foods category. We delivered continued solid performance
at Pepperidge Farm in the crackers business, while our bakery business
declined in the quarter. Our Asia Pacific business delivered good
results, driven by improved performance in Australia and strong sales
growth in Malaysia and Indonesia. In U.S. Beverages, our core business
in original ‘V8’ vegetable juice and ‘V8 V-Fusion’ beverages continued
to be challenged by slackening consumer demand.”

Morrison concluded, “Overall, our fiscal year 2013 is off to a solid
start. We remain focused on returning our company to sustainable,
profitable net sales growth. We know we have more work to do to change
Campbell’s growth trajectory and achieve our long-term targets on our
base business.”

Campbell Confirms Fiscal 2013 Guidance

The company confirmed its previous fiscal 2013 guidance. Campbell
expects to grow sales between 10 and 12 percent, adjusted EBIT between 4
and 6 percent and adjusted EPS between 3 and 5 percent. The company
expects adjusted EPS to be between $2.51 and $2.57. This guidance
includes the estimated impact of the Bolthouse Farms business and
excludes the impact of acquisition transaction costs and restructuring
charges. In fiscal 2013, Campbell expects Bolthouse Farms to contribute
approximately $750 million to sales and add $0.05 to $0.07 to adjusted
EPS, including the impact of the suspension of Campbell’s strategic
share repurchase program.

Restructuring Program

On Sept. 27, 2012, Campbell announced a program to improve its U.S.
supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its
U.S. thermal plant network. This initiative includes plans to close the
company’s South Plainfield spice plant by March 2013 and its Sacramento
plant by July 2013. In the aggregate, the company expects to incur
pre-tax costs of approximately $115 million, most of which will be
incurred in fiscal 2013. In the first quarter, Campbell recorded pre-tax
costs of $43 million, $27 million after tax or $0.09 per share, related
to these initiatives.

First-Quarter Results

For the first quarter, sales increased 8 percent to $2.336 billion. The
increase in sales for the quarter reflected the following factors:

• The acquisition of Bolthouse Farms added 8 percent
• Price and sales allowances added 2 percent
• Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent
• Currency subtracted 1 percent

First-Quarter Financial Details

• Gross margin was 37.0 percent compared with 39.5 percent a year ago.
  Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted gross margin in the
  current quarter was 37.9 percent. The decline in gross margin was
  primarily attributable to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, which
  operates with a lower gross margin structure.
• Marketing and selling expenses decreased 3 percent to $254 million
  compared with $261 million in the prior year. Consistent with the
  company’s plans, the decline was primarily due to reductions in
  advertising and consumer promotion expenses in the U.S. Soup business,
  partly offset by the impact of the addition of Bolthouse Farms
  expenses.
• Administrative expenses increased $17 million to $162 million,
  primarily due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms and higher
  compensation and benefit costs, including pension expenses.
• EBIT was $385 million compared with $416 million in the prior-year
  quarter. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EBIT
  increased 5 percent to $438 million. Excluding the impact of the
  Bolthouse Farms acquisition, adjusted EBIT increased 2 percent,
  primarily driven by lower advertising and consumer promotion expense
  in the U.S. Soup business, partly offset by higher administrative
  expenses.
• The tax rate in the quarter was 31.0 percent compared with 32.2
  percent in the prior year. Excluding items impacting comparability,
  the adjusted tax rate was 31.6 percent. The decrease reflected the
  favorable settlement of a U.S. state tax matter.
• Net interest expense increased $5 million to $33 million, reflecting a
  higher debt level due to the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, partially
  offset by lower rates on the company’s debt.
• Adjusted net earnings for the quarter increased 5 percent to $279
  million. Adjusted net earnings per share were $0.88 in the current
  quarter compared with net earnings per share of $0.82 in the
  prior-year quarter, an increase of 7 percent. Earnings per share
  benefitted from fewer shares outstanding, reflecting the impact of the
  company’s share repurchase program in prior quarters.
• Cash flow from operations was $81 million compared with $73 million in
  the prior year.
• Net debt rose to $4.086 billion, an increase of $1.382 billion,
  primarily due to funding the $1.570 billion purchase of Bolthouse
  Farms.

Summary of Fiscal 2013 First-Quarter Results by Segment

U.S. Simple Meals

Sales for U.S. Simple Meals were $896 million for the first quarter, an
increase of 3 percent compared with the year-ago period. A breakdown of
the change in sales follows:

• Volume and mix added 1 percent
• Price and sales allowances added 2 percent

U.S. Soup sales increased 2 percent compared to the year-ago quarter.

• Sales of “Campbell’s” condensed soups decreased 1 percent, as declines
  in eating varieties were partially offset by gains in cooking
  varieties.
• Sales of ready-to-serve soups increased 4 percent. Volume-driven gains
  in “Campbell’s Chunky” canned soups were partially offset by declines
  in microwavable soups. “Campbell’s Go” soups, launched in the quarter,
  also contributed to sales growth.
• Broth sales rose 9 percent, primarily due to volume-driven gains in
  both aseptically packaged and canned broths.

U.S. Sauces sales increased 4 percent compared to the year-ago quarter.
The growth was primarily driven by strong gains in “Prego” pasta sauces,
the launch of “Campbell’s” Skillet Sauces and growth in “Pace” Mexican
sauces. Sales of gravy declined.

U.S. Simple Meals operating earnings increased 5 percent to $274
million compared with $260 million in the prior-year period. The
increase in operating earnings was driven by earnings gains in U.S.
Soup, partly offset by a decline in U.S. Sauces. For the segment,
benefits from productivity improvements; higher selling prices net of
related volume impacts; and lower marketing expenses were partly offset
by cost inflation.

Global Baking and Snacking

Sales for Global Baking and Snacking were $574 million for the first
quarter, an increase of 1 percent from a year ago. The change in sales
reflected the following factors:

• Volume and mix added 2 percent
• Price and sales allowances added 2 percent
• Increased promotional spending subtracted 3 percent

Further details of sales results included the following:

• Sales of “Pepperidge Farm” products increased, driven by volume gains
  and higher selling prices, partially offset by increased promotional
  spending.
  • In cookies and crackers, sales increases were driven by solid
    gains in “Goldfish” snack crackers and the launch of “Jingos!,”
    partly offset by declines in cookies.
  • Bakery sales declined. Bakery sales were negatively impacted by
    increased promotional spending in response to competitive activity.

• Sales at Arnott’s increased primarily due to double-digit gains in
  Indonesia. Sales in Australia were comparable to the prior year.

Operating earnings for the quarter were $85 million compared with $88
million in the prior year, reflecting lower earnings in Arnott’s and
Pepperidge Farm. Both businesses were negatively impacted by increased
promotional spending.

International Simple Meals and Beverages

Sales for International Simple Meals and Beverages were $354 million for
the first quarter, a decrease of 1 percent. Organic sales increased 2
percent. The change in sales reflected the following factors:

• Volume and mix subtracted 1 percent
• Price and sales allowances added 3 percent
• Currency subtracted 3 percent

Excluding the impact of currency, higher sales in the Asia Pacific
region, Latin America and Canada were partially offset by declines in
Europe.

• In Canada, higher selling prices contributed to sales growth.
• In Europe, sales declines in Germany were partially offset by gains in
  France.
• In the Asia Pacific region, sales increased due to strong growth in
  Japan and Malaysia.

Operating earnings were $47 million compared with $43 million in the
year-ago period. The increase in operating earnings was primarily driven
by higher organic sales and an increase in gross margin percentage.

U.S. Beverages

Sales for U.S. Beverages were $189 million for the first quarter, a
decrease of 5 percent compared to the year-ago period. A breakdown of
the change in sales follows:

• Volume and mix subtracted 4 percent
• Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent

The decrease in sales was due to declines in “V8” vegetable juice and
“V8 V-Fusion” beverages, partially offset by an increase in “V8 Splash”
beverages.

Operating earnings for the quarter were $30 million, comparable to the
prior year. The impact of lower volume was offset by lower advertising
and consumer promotion expenses.

Bolthouse and Foodservice

The balance of the portfolio includes the Bolthouse Farms business,
which was acquired on Aug. 6, 2012, and the North America Foodservice
business.

Sales were $323 million for the first quarter, with the acquisition of
Bolthouse Farms contributing $171 million. Organic sales in North
America Foodservice declined 6 percent compared with a year ago. A
breakdown of the change in organic sales follows:

• Volume and mix subtracted 3 percent
• Increased promotional spending subtracted 3 percent

North America Foodservice sales decreased primarily due to declines in
frozen and canned soup sales, partially offset by volume-driven gains in
fresh chilled soup sold at retail.

Operating earnings increased by $7 million to $34 million driven by the
acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, partially offset by lower earnings in
North America Foodservice.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses for the quarter were $63 million compared
with $30 million a year ago. The current quarter included $21 million of
restructuring-related costs and $10 million of transaction costs related
to the Bolthouse Farms acquisition.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

First Quarter Ended October 28, 2012

Campbell Soup Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as
defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in certain
communications. These non-GAAP financial measures are measures of
performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu
of, GAAP reported measures.

Net Debt

The company believes that net debt is a non-GAAP measure that provides
additional meaningful comparisons between the company’s financial
position at October 28, 2012 and October 30, 2011, and also a useful
perspective on the financial condition of the business. Interest income
earned on cash and cash equivalents partially offsets interest expense
on debt. Cash and cash equivalents are available to repay outstanding
debt upon maturity.

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

Less: Cash and cash equivalents		(361		)		(285		)
Net debt		$	4,086			$	2,704

Organic Net Sales

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

Items Impacting Gross Margin and Earnings

The company believes that financial information excluding certain
transactions that are not considered to be part of the ongoing business
improves the comparability of year-to-year results. Consequently, the
company believes that investors may be able to better understand its
gross margin and earnings results excluding these transactions.

The following items impacted gross margin and/or earnings:

(1)		In fiscal 2013, the company announced several initiatives to improve its U.S. supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its U.S. thermal plant network. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $22 million and restructuring-related costs of $21 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate impact $43 million; $27 million after tax or $.09 per share) related to the initiatives.
		In fiscal 2011, the company announced a series of initiatives to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce overhead costs across the organization to help fund plans to drive the growth of the business. The company also announced its intent to close its office in Moscow and exit the Russian market. In fiscal 2012, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $10 million ($6 million after tax or $.02 per share) related to the initiatives.
(2)		In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the company announced its intent to acquire Bolthouse Farms. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the company incurred transaction costs of $10 million ($7 million after tax or $.02 per share) associated with the acquisition, which closed on August 6, 2012. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the company incurred transaction costs of $5 million ($3 million after tax or $.01 per share) associated with the acquisition.
(3)		Bolthouse Farms contributed $14 million to earnings before interest and taxes in fiscal 2013.
