CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sept. 11, 2008–Campbell Soup
Company (NYSE:CPB) today reported net earnings for the quarter ended
August 3, 2008 of $89 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to $61
million, or $0.16 per share, in the year-ago period. The current
quarter’s reported net earnings included charges associated with

$96 million compared to $53 million in the prior year’s quarter and

In March 2008, Campbell completed the sale of the Godiva business,
the results of which are reported as discontinued operations for all
periods. Additionally, in the third and fourth quarters, Campbell
recorded restructuring charges and costs related to previously
announced initiatives to improve operational efficiency and enhance
long-term profitability, including the sale of certain salty snack
foods brands and assets in Australia, the closure of production
facilities in Australia and Canada, and the streamlining of its
management structure.

The current and prior quarter’s net earnings included items that
impacted comparability. These items are summarized below:

In the fourth quarter, earnings from continuing operations were
$89 million compared to $58 million in the prior year. Earnings per
share from continuing operations for the current quarter were $0.24
compared to $0.15 in the year-ago period. Excluding items impacting
comparability, adjusted earnings from continuing operations in the
fourth quarter were $96 million compared to $58 million in the
year-ago period. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing
operations were $0.26 compared to $0.15 in the prior-year period, an
increase of 73 percent.

In the prior period, earnings from discontinued operations were $3
million, or $0.01 per share. Excluding items impacting comparability,
the adjusted loss from discontinued operations was $5 million, or
$0.01 per share, reflecting the seasonality of the Godiva business.

For the fourth quarter, sales increased 13 percent to $1.715
billion. Sales growth for the quarter reflects the following factors:


    -- Volume and mix subtracted 1 percent

    -- Price and sales allowances added 5 percent

    -- Increased promotional spending subtracted 1 percent

    -- Currency added 4 percent

    -- Divestitures subtracted 2 percent

    -- The 53rd week added 8 percent

Douglas R. Conant, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive
Officer, said, “We delivered a very strong quarter, including in our
U.S. soup business, to complete a challenging year in which we faced
unprecedented cost inflation. For the sixth consecutive year, we met
or exceeded our financial guidance. Our more focused portfolio
strategy is paying off, as we grew sales and earnings for the year in
each of our three core categories–simple meals, baked snacks and
healthy beverages.

“In U.S. soup, our focus on wellness is working. Our lower sodium
soup portfolio continued its strong performance, and we are well
positioned to build on this success in fiscal year 2009, especially
with the launch of ‘Campbell’s Select Harvest’ ready-to-serve soups.
In addition, our soup businesses in Canada and Australia posted good
results for the year.”

Conant continued, “Looking at the rest of our portfolio,
Pepperidge Farm once again delivered outstanding performance, and
Arnott’s also had a strong year in its core biscuit business. In
healthy beverages, our ‘V8’ brand, led by ‘V8 V-Fusion,’ reported
double-digit sales growth for the year. In the emerging markets of
Russia and China, we are encouraged by our progress in our first year
in the marketplace, and we are optimistic about our expansion plans in
both geographies.

“Looking ahead to fiscal 2009, we have strong plans in place
across our portfolio to win with consumers in our core categories.”

Conant concluded, “In fiscal 2009, we expect our continuing
operations, excluding the negative impact of one less week in the
fiscal year and recent divestitures, to deliver sales growth in excess
of our long-term target range of between 3 and 4 percent. We expect to
deliver EBIT growth, excluding items impacting comparability, slightly
below our long-term target growth rate of between 5 and 6 percent,
reflecting the impact of one less week in the fiscal year, higher
marketing spending behind increased innovation in the U.S. and
increased investment spending in Russia and China. Consistent with our
long-term target growth rate, we expect to deliver adjusted net
earnings per share growth between 5 and 7 percent from the fiscal 2008
adjusted base of $2.09.”

    Summary of Fiscal 2008 Fourth Quarter Results by Segment

    U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages

Sales for U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages were $673 million

6 percent, driven by the following:


    -- Sales of "Campbell's" condensed soups increased 6 percent with
     gains in both eating and cooking varieties.

     gains in "Campbell's Chunky" soups in both cans and microwavable
     bowls.

    -- Sales of "Swanson" broth increased 13 percent.

Further details of the sales results of this segment’s other
businesses include:

     week.

primarily due to higher pricing, productivity improvements, lower
marketing expenses and the benefit of the 53rd week, partially offset
by the impact of cost inflation.

percent to $3.674 billion. A breakdown of the change in sales follows:

     sodium products.

    -- "Swanson" broth sales increased 11 percent.

Further details of the sales results of this segment’s other
businesses include:


    -- Excluding the impact of the 53rd week, beverage sales increased

     demand for healthy beverages, with gains in "V-8" vegetable juice
     and "V-8 V-Fusion" juice, as well as in "V8 Splash" juice drinks.
     Beverage sales benefited from expanded distribution following an
     agreement with The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises
     Inc. to distribute Campbell's single-serve refrigerated beverages
     in North America.

    -- Sales of "Prego" pasta sauce and "Pace" Mexican sauces
     increased.

         crackers, the launch of Baked Naturals, a line of adult
         savory snack crackers, and growth in cookies.

        -- The bakery business delivered double-digit sales gains
         behind continued consumer demand for whole-grain breads and
         growth in sandwich rolls.

        -- Arnott's sales increased primarily due to the favorable
         impact of currency and biscuit growth, offset by the
         divestiture of certain Australian salty snack foods brands.

        -- Increased bakery sales were driven by gains in whole-grain
         varieties and sandwich rolls.

    -- Arnott's sales increased due to the favorable impact of

     partially offset by the divestiture of certain Australian salty
     snack foods brands and the company's biscuit business in Papua
     New Guinea.

Operating earnings were $120 million compared to $238 million in
the year-ago period. The current period included $144 million of
restructuring charges. Operating earnings in the prior period included
a $23 million gain from the sale of the Pepperidge Farm facility.

    Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Fiscal Year Ended August 3, 2008

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 August 3, 2008 and July 29, 2007, 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:

Items Impacting Net Earnings

The company believes that financial information excluding certain
transactions 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
earnings results if these transactions are excluded from the results.

The following items impacted net earnings:


(1) In 2008, the company announced initiatives to improve operational
     efficiency and long-term profitability, including selling certain
     salty snack food brands and assets in Australia, closing certain
     production facilities in Australia and Canada, and streamlining
     the company's management structure. In the fourth quarter of
     fiscal 2008, the company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge
     of $3 million and expenses in cost of products sold of $7 million
     (aggregate impact of $7 million after tax or $0.02 per share) in
     earnings from continuing operations related to these initiatives.
     For the year ended August 3, 2008, the company recorded pre-tax
     restructuring charges of $175 million and $7 million of expenses
     in cost of products sold (aggregate impact of $107 million after
     tax or $0.28 per share), related to these initiatives.

(2) In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the company recorded a non-
     cash tax benefit of $13 million ($0.03 per share) in earnings
     from continuing operations from the favorable resolution of a
     state tax contingency in the United States.

(3) In fiscal 2008, the company recognized a pre-tax gain of $698
     million ($462 million after tax or $1.21 per share) in earnings
     from discontinued operations from the sale of the Godiva
     Chocolatier business.

(4) In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the company recorded a pre-
     tax non-cash benefit of $20 million ($13 million after tax or
     $0.03 per share) in earnings from continuing operations from the
     reversal of legal reserves due to favorable results in
     litigation.

(5) In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the company recorded a tax
     benefit of $22 million resulting from the settlement of bilateral
     advance pricing agreements ("APA") among the company, the United
     States, and Canada related to royalties. In addition, the company
     reduced net interest expense by $4 million ($3 million after
     tax). The aggregate impact on earnings from continuing operations
     was $25 million ($0.06 per share).

(6) In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the company recorded a pre-
     tax gain of $23 million ($14 million after tax or $0.04 per
     share) in earnings from continuing operations associated with the
     sale of an idle manufacturing facility.

(7) In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the company completed the
     sale of its businesses in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The
     total after-tax gain recognized on the sale in 2007 in earnings
     from discontinued operations was $24 million ($0.06 per share).
     Of this amount, $1 million was recognized in the fourth quarter
     of fiscal 2007. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal
     2007, a $7 million tax benefit ($0.02 per share) was recognized
     in earnings from discontinued operations from the favorable
     resolution of tax audits in the United Kingdom. The aggregate
     after-tax impact of these items in 2007 was $31 million ($0.08
     per share).

The tables below reconcile financial information, presented in
accordance with GAAP, to financial information excluding certain
transactions:
