CEO Comments
Denise Morrison, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
“This was a disappointing quarter, driven by continued challenges in
U.S. soup and Campbell Fresh. The decline in organic sales was largely
due to the performance of Americas Simple Meals and Beverages, where
U.S. soup sales decreased by 7 percent based on the key customer issue
we discussed last quarter. We are making progress with this customer and
expect sales declines in soup to moderate in the second half.
“Campbell Fresh did not meet expectations. Sales did not recover as
anticipated due in part to headwinds in the super premium juice
category. Looking ahead to the spring, we expect our beverage innovation
plans to drive improved beverage performance in the second half. We are
committed to returning this business to profitable growth.
“Bright spots in the quarter included the sales performance of Global
Biscuits and Snacks, particularly Pepperidge Farm and Kelsen, as well as
our multi-year cost savings initiative. We have identified additional
savings opportunities and are increasing our savings target to $500
million by the end of fiscal 2020.
Morrison concluded, “Despite challenges, we have made significant
progress toward our long-term strategy to transform Campbell’s
portfolio. In the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Pacific Foods
to bolster our presence in the organic soup and broth market and
announced plans to acquire Snyder’s-Lance, which will greatly expand our
snacking business. These acquisitions will provide Campbell with greater
access to faster-growing categories and channels, and I am confident
will help deliver improved performance.”

*** Represents the earnings per share impact from a net tax benefit
of $124 million resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in
December 2017. This net tax benefit includes the estimated impact of
the revaluation of U.S. net deferred tax liabilities based on the
new lower corporate income tax rate, partly offset by the
unfavorable impact of a repatriation tax.

Second-Quarter Results
Sales of $2.180 billion were comparable to the prior year as a 1-point
benefit from the acquisition of Pacific Foods and a 1-point favorable
impact of currency translation were offset by a 2-percent decline in
organic sales driven primarily by lower volumes.
Gross margin decreased from 37.4 percent to 35.1 percent. Excluding
items impacting comparability in the current year, adjusted gross margin
decreased 2.2 percentage points to 35.2 percent. The decrease in
adjusted gross margin was driven primarily by cost inflation and higher
supply chain costs, as well as unfavorable mix, partly offset by
productivity improvements and the benefits from cost savings initiatives.
Marketing and selling expenses decreased 5 percent to $228 million
primarily due to lower advertising and consumer promotion expenses, as
well as the benefits from cost savings initiatives, partly offset by
investments in e-commerce. Administrative expenses increased 17 percent
to $165 million. Excluding items impacting comparability in the current
year, adjusted administrative expenses decreased 1 percent.
Other expenses were $70 million in the current quarter as compared to
$201 million in the prior-year quarter. Excluding items impacting
comparability, adjusted other income increased from $11 million to $29
million primarily due to gains on investments and higher pension and
postretirement benefit income.
EBIT increased 19 percent to $243 million. Excluding items impacting
comparability, adjusted EBIT decreased 4 percent to $402 million
primarily reflecting a lower adjusted gross margin percentage, partly
offset by an increase in adjusted other income and lower marketing and
selling expenses.
Net interest expense increased 14 percent to $32 million reflecting
higher average interest rates on the debt portfolio and higher levels of
debt. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted in December 2017, will have a
favorable impact on both the reported and adjusted effective rates in
fiscal 2018. In the current-year quarter, the tax rate decreased from
42.9 percent to a negative 35.1 percent reflecting the one-time
favorable net tax benefit recorded as part of the Act. Excluding items
impacting comparability, the adjusted tax rate decreased 8.9 percentage
points from 27.8 percent to 18.9 percent primarily due to the ongoing
benefit of the lower U.S. federal tax rate. Campbell now expects a
full-year adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 26 percent.
EPS was $0.95 per share in the quarter compared to $0.33 per share in
the prior year. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted EPS
increased 10 percent to $1.00 per share, primarily due to a lower
adjusted tax rate, partly offset by declines in adjusted EBIT.
First-Half Results
Sales decreased 1 percent to $4.341 billion driven by a 2-percent
decline in organic sales, partly offset by a 1-point benefit from the
acquisition of Pacific Foods and a 1-point favorable impact of currency
translation. Declines in organic sales were driven primarily by lower
volumes.
EBIT decreased 1 percent to $655 million. Excluding items impacting
comparability, adjusted EBIT decreased 10 percent to $819 million
reflecting a lower adjusted gross margin percentage, lower sales and
higher adjusted administrative expenses, partly offset by lower
marketing and selling expenses and an increase in adjusted other income.
Net interest expense increased 11 percent to $62 million reflecting
higher average interest rates on the debt portfolio. The tax rate
decreased from 35.1 percent to 5.6 percent. Excluding items impacting
comparability, the adjusted tax rate decreased 6.4 percentage points
from 30.2 percent to 23.8 percent, primarily due to the lower U.S.
federal tax rate.
The company reported EPS of $1.85. Excluding items impacting
comparability, adjusted EPS decreased 1 percent to $1.91 per share,
compared with $1.92 per share a year ago.
Cash flow from operations decreased to $660 million from $667 million a
year ago, primarily due to higher net payments of hedging activities,
partly offset by improvements in working capital.
Cost Savings Program
In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, Campbell achieved $20 million in
savings under its multi-year cost savings program, bringing total
program-to-date savings to $365 million. Based on the success of the
program to date and the identification of additional savings
opportunities, Campbell has increased the annualized savings target from
$450 million to $500 million by the end of fiscal 2020.
Fiscal 2018 Guidance
Based on the company’s current outlook for fiscal 2018, including the
impact of the Pacific Foods acquisition and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,
Campbell has revised its fiscal 2018 guidance. As shown in the table
below, sales are now expected to change by -1 to +1 percent, adjusted
EBIT to decline by -7 to -5 percent, and adjusted EPS to increase by +2
to +4 percent, or $3.10 to $3.17 per share. This guidance assumes the
impact from currency translation will be nominal.

Americas Simple Meals and Beverages
Sales in the quarter decreased 2 percent to $1.196 billion. Organic
sales decreased 4 percent driven primarily by declines in U.S. soup and V8
Beverages, partly offset by gains in the retail business in Canada.
Excluding the benefit from the acquisition of Pacific Foods, sales of
U.S. soup decreased 7 percent driven by declines in ready-to-serve and
condensed soups, while sales of broth were comparable to the prior year.
The sales decline in U.S. soup was primarily the result of the
previously disclosed key customer issue.
Segment operating earnings decreased 9 percent to $282 million driven
primarily by a lower gross margin percentage and lower sales volume,
partly offset by lower marketing and selling expenses.
Global Biscuits and Snacks
Sales in the quarter increased 4 percent to $726 million. Excluding the
favorable impact of currency translation, organic sales increased 3
percent driven primarily by gains in Pepperidge Farm snacks, reflecting
growth in Goldfish crackers and in cookies, as well as gains of
Kelsen cookies in China. Excluding the favorable impact of currency
translation, sales of Arnott’s biscuits were comparable to the prior
year.
Segment operating earnings increased 1 percent to $139 million.
Excluding the favorable impact of currency translation, operating
earnings were comparable to the prior year with lower advertising and
consumer promotion expenses offset by a lower gross margin percentage.
Campbell Fresh
Sales in the quarter decreased 1 percent to $257 million driven
primarily by sales declines in Bolthouse Farmsrefrigerated
beverages.
Segment operating earnings declined from a loss of $3 million to a loss
of $11 million, reflecting a lower gross margin percentage driven
primarily by an increase in supply chain costs as well as higher carrot
costs.
Corporate
Corporate in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 included charges related
to cost savings initiatives of $27 million, transaction costs of $24
million related to the pending acquisition of Snyder’s-Lance and a
non-cash impairment charge of $75 million related to the Bolthouse Farms
carrot and carrot ingredients reporting unit. Corporate in the second
quarter of fiscal 2017 included non-cash impairment charges of $212
million related to the Campbell Fresh segment. The remaining decrease in
expenses primarily reflects gains on investments and higher pension and
postretirement income.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
|
Second Quarter Ended January 28, 2018
|
|
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. Management believes that also
presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional
information to facilitate comparison of the company's historical
operating results and trends in its underlying operating results,
and provides transparency on how the company evaluates its business.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making
financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the
company's performance.
|
|
Organic Net Sales
|
|
Organic net sales are net sales excluding the impact of currency and
acquisitions. Management believes that excluding these items, which
are not part of the ongoing business, improves the comparability of
year-to-year results. A reconciliation of net sales as reported to
organic net sales follows.

Items Impacting Earnings
|
|
The company believes that financial information excluding certain
items that are not considered to reflect the ongoing operating
results, such as those listed below, improves the comparability of
year-to-year results. Consequently, the company believes that
investors may be able to better understand its results excluding
these items.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following items impacted earnings:
|
|
|
|
|
|

to drive efficiencies, and more fully integrating its recent
acquisitions. In January 2018, as part of the expanded initiatives,
the company authorized additional costs to improve the operational
efficiency of its thermal supply chain network in North America by
closing its manufacturing facility in Toronto, Ontario, and to
optimize its information technology infrastructure by migrating
