Note: A detailed reconciliation of the reported financial information to
the adjusted financial information is included at the end of this news
release.
Items Impacting Comparability
At the end of the news release is a detailed reconciliation of the
reported financial information to the adjusted information, including
the impact on earnings from charges in fiscal 2015 related to cost
savings initiatives and the estimated impact of one less week that are
discussed further below.
In fiscal 2015, the company incurred restructuring charges and
implementation costs associated with the new organizational structure
and cost reduction initiatives. The aggregate after-tax impact on EPS
from these initiatives in the fourth-quarter and full-year results was
$.21 per share and $.25 per share, respectively.
Fiscal 2014 included 53 weeks, with the extra week falling in the fourth
quarter. As a result of one less week in fiscal 2015 compared to the
prior year, sales for the fourth quarter were negatively impacted by
approximately 7 points and sales for the full year were negatively
impacted by approximately 2 points. The estimated impact on EPS was $.08
per share.
Denise Morrison, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
“We had a solid finish to the fiscal year considering the difficult
operating environment, and delivered sales, adjusted EBIT and adjusted
EPS within our most recent guidance. I am pleased with the
fourth-quarter performance in U.S. Simple Meals as well as organic sales
growth in the Bolthouse and Foodservice segment. For the year, four of
the company’s five reporting segments posted organic sales gains. Global
Baking and Snacking performed well this year as we made progress in
stabilizing our business in Australia. I am particularly encouraged by
the improvement in gross margin across the company in the back half of
the year. We recognize that we have more work to do to drive
sustainable, profitable growth.
“Fiscal 2015 was eventful for Campbell. We took important steps to lay
the foundation for the future. We aligned our organization with our
strategy by redesigning our enterprise structure and declaring clear
portfolio roles for our three new divisions: Americas Simple Meals and
Beverages, Global Biscuits and Snacks and Campbell Fresh. We established
our Integrated Global Services organization to deliver shared services
with greater efficiency and effectiveness. We delivered
earlier-than-anticipated savings from our cost-reduction efforts and
initiated plans for a zero-based budgeting process that will be of great
value to Campbell going forward. Finally, we added another growth engine
to our company as we bolstered our packaged fresh portfolio with the
acquisition of Garden Fresh Gourmet.”
Morrison concluded, “Looking ahead to fiscal 2016, we believe that our
focus on driving growth, aggressively reducing costs and reinvesting a
portion of the savings in the areas of our business with the greatest
growth potential is the best way to create shareholder value.”
Fourth-Quarter Results from Continuing Operations
Sales decreased 9 percent to $1.693 billion primarily due to the impact
of one less week compared to the year-ago quarter and the negative
impact of currency translation. Organic sales increased 1 percent from
higher selling prices and lower promotional spending, partly offset by
lower volume.
Gross margin increased from 34.1 percent to 36.1 percent. Excluding
items impacting comparability in the prior year, adjusted gross margin
improved 1.8 percentage points. The increase in adjusted gross margin
was due to productivity improvements, higher selling prices and lower
promotional spending, partly offset by input cost inflation.
Marketing and selling expenses decreased 7 percent to $176 million,
primarily driven by the impact of currency translation and lower
marketing overhead and selling expenses, partly offset by increased
advertising and consumer promotion expenses. Administrative expenses
increased 19 percent to $177 million, primarily driven by increased
incentive compensation expense and $13 million of costs related to the
implementation of the new organizational structure and cost reduction
initiatives.
Adjusted EBIT increased 5 percent to $234 million, reflecting a higher
gross margin percentage, partly offset by increased administrative
expenses and the negative impact of currency translation.
Net interest expense decreased $3 million to $27 million, primarily
driven by the impact of one less week compared to the year-ago quarter.
The tax rate decreased 1.1 percentage points to 32.7 percent. Excluding
items impacting comparability, the adjusted tax rate increased 0.8
percentage points to 34.8 percent.
Full-Year Results from Continuing Operations
Sales decreased 2 percent to $8.082 billion, primarily due to the
negative impact of currency translation and one less week compared to
the prior year, partly offset by higher selling prices and an increase
in volume. Organic sales increased 1 percent with gains in four of the
company’s five reportable segments.
Adjusted EBIT decreased 2 percent to $1.219 billion, reflecting an
adjusted gross margin percentage decline of 0.7 points, the unfavorable
impact of currency translation and higher incentive compensation
expense, partly offset by volume gains and lower marketing expenses.
Net interest expense decreased $14 million to $105 million, reflecting
lower levels of debt. The tax rate decreased 2.1 percentage points to
30.2 percent. Excluding items impacting comparability, the adjusted tax
rate decreased 0.8 percentage points to 31.0 percent. The decrease was
primarily due to the favorable resolution of an intercompany pricing
agreement between the U.S. and Canada.
Fiscal 2016 Guidance for Continuing Operations
As shown in the table below, the company expects sales to grow by 0 to 1
percent, adjusted EBIT to grow by 3 to 5 percent and adjusted EPS to
grow by 3 to 5 percent, or $2.53 to $2.58 per share. This guidance
includes the impact of currency translation, which is estimated to have
a 2 percentage point negative impact, as well as the impact of the
Garden Fresh Gourmet acquisition.

To provide better transparency, the company intends to adopt
mark-to-market pension and post-retirement benefit accounting (MTM) in
the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and recast historical results. This
change eliminates the deferral and subsequent amortization of historic
actuarial gains and losses, which instead will be recognized immediately
in earnings as of the measurement date, typically year end. The periodic
MTM adjustment will be reflected as an item impacting comparability and
therefore excluded from adjusted results. The 2016 guidance does not
reflect the impact of the anticipated accounting change, however, 2016
growth rates are not expected to change from the recasted 2015 base.

Note: A detailed reconciliation of the reported net sales to organic net
sales is included at the end of this news release.
U.S. Simple Meals
Sales decreased 3 percent in the quarter to $505 million. Organic sales
for the segment increased 4 percent. U.S. soup sales decreased 2 percent
reflecting the impact of one less week, which subtracted 7 points,
partly offset by movements in retailer inventory levels and higher
selling prices. Sales decreased 4 percent in Campbell’s Condensed
soups and 3 percent in ready-to-serve soups, while sales of broth
increased 11 percent. Excluding the impact of one less week, sales of
other simple meals increased driven by strong growth in Prego pasta
sauces.
Segment operating earnings increased 4 percent to $118 million. The
increase was primarily driven by organic sales gains and lower selling
expenses, partly offset by the impact of one less week.
Global Baking and Snacking
Sales decreased 12 percent in the quarter to $553 million. Organic sales
for the segment increased 1 percent driven by gains in Pepperidge Farm
and Arnott’s, partly offset by declines in Kelsen. Excluding the impact
of one less week, sales of Pepperidge Farm products increased as sales
gains in fresh bakery, Goldfish crackers and Pepperidge Farm
frozen products were partly offset by declines in cookies. Excluding the
negative impact of currency translation and one less week, Arnott’s
sales increased as gains in Australia were partly offset by declines in
Indonesia.
Segment operating earnings decreased 26 percent to $73 million. Lower
operating earnings reflected the impact of one less week, increases in
marketing and administrative expenses, the negative impact of currency
translation and impairment charges to minor trademarks, partly offset by
a higher gross margin percentage.
International Simple Meals and Beverages
Sales declined 24 percent in the quarter to $142 million. Organic sales
for the segment decreased 5 percent due to declines in Canada and
Australia.
Segment operating earnings decreased 48 percent to $11 million,
primarily due to lower volume, including the impact of one less week, as
well as the negative impact of currency translation.
U.S. Beverages
Sales decreased 10 percent in the quarter to $165 million. Organic sales
decreased 4 percent as declines in V8 V-Fusion beverages were
partly offset by gains in V8 vegetable juices.
Segment operating earnings decreased 23 percent to $33 million,
primarily due to sales declines, including the impact of one less week.
Bolthouse and Foodservice
Sales decreased 2 percent in the quarter to $328 million, including a
3-point benefit from the acquisition of Garden Fresh Gourmet. Organic
sales for the segment increased 4 percent reflecting volume gains in Bolthouse
Farmsrefrigerated beverages and salad dressings and in North
America Foodservice, partly offset by declines in Bolthouse Farms
carrots.
Segment operating earnings were $28 million compared to $29 million in
the year-ago quarter.
Cost Savings Initiatives
In fiscal 2015, the company incurred charges associated with its
initiatives to implement a new enterprise design that better aligns with
its strategy, to reduce costs and to streamline its organizational
structure. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the company recorded
pre-tax restructuring charges of $93 million related to these
initiatives. The company also incurred pre-tax charges of $13 million
recorded in Unallocated corporate expenses related to the implementation
of these initiatives. The aggregate after-tax impact of the
restructuring charges and implementation costs was $67 million, or $.21
per share. For the full year, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring
charges of $102 million related to these initiatives. The company also
incurred pre-tax charges of $22 million recorded in Unallocated
corporate expenses related to the implementation of these initiatives.
The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and
implementation costs was $78 million, or $.25 per share.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses for the quarter were $42 million compared
to $51 million a year ago. The current quarter included $13 million of
pre-tax charges related to the implementation of the new organizational
structure and cost reduction initiatives. The prior-year quarter
included a pension settlement charge of $4 million associated with a
U.S. pension plan and $1 million of restructuring-related costs. The
remaining decrease in expenses is primarily related to lower losses on
open commodity hedges compared to the year-ago quarter.
Cash Flow from Operations
Cash flow from operations for the fiscal year was $1.182 billion
compared to $899 million a year ago, primarily due to lower working
capital requirements, taxes paid in 2014 on the divestiture of the
European simple meals business and lower pension contributions in 2015.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
|
Fiscal Year Ended August 2, 2015
|
|
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.

|
Organic Net Sales
|
|
Organic net sales exclude the impact of currency, acquisitions,
presenting revenue on a net basis in connection with a new business
model in Mexico in fiscal 2014, and the additional week in fiscal
2014. The company believes that organic net sales 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. Fiscal
2014 included 53 weeks. Consequently, the company believes that
investors may be able to better understand its gross margin and
earnings results excluding these transactions and the estimated
impact of the 53rd week.
|
|
|
|
|
The following items impacted gross margin and/or earnings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

initiatives to implement a new enterprise design that better aligns

organizational structure. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the
company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $93 million
related to these initiatives. The company also incurred pre-tax
charges of $13 million recorded in Administrative expenses related
to the implementation of the new organizational structure and cost
reduction initiatives. The aggregate after-tax impact of
restructuring charges and implementation costs was $67 million, or
$.21 per share, on earnings from continuing operations. In fiscal
2015, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $102
million related to these initiatives. The company also incurred

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In fiscal 2014, the company implemented initiatives to streamline
its salaried workforce in North America and its workforce in the
Asia Pacific region; restructure manufacturing and streamline
operations for its soup and broth business in China; improve supply
chain efficiency in Australia; and reduce overhead across the

In fiscal 2014, the company recognized pension settlement charges
associated with a U.S. pension plan. The settlements resulted from
the level of lump sum distributions from the plan's assets in 2014,
primarily due to the closure of the facility in Sacramento,
California. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the company
recognized a pre-tax pension settlement charge in Cost of products
sold of $4 million ($3 million after tax, or $.01 per share, in
earnings from continuing operations). In fiscal 2014, the company
recognized pre-tax pension settlement charges in Cost of products
sold of $22 million ($14 million after tax, or $.04 per share, in
earnings from continuing operations).

On October 28, 2013, the company completed the sale of its simple
meals business in Europe. The results of the business were reported
as discontinued operations. In fiscal 2014, the company recorded a
loss of $9 million ($6 million after tax, or $.02 per share) on
foreign exchange forward contracts used to hedge the proceeds from
the sale of the European simple meals business. The loss was
included in earnings from continuing operations. In addition, the
company recorded tax expense of $7 million ($.02 per share) in
earnings from continuing operations associated with the sale. In
fiscal 2014, the company recognized an after-tax gain of $72 million
($.23 per share) in earnings from discontinued operations.
