Denise Morrison, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the third quarter, gross margin improved and adjusted EBIT and EPS were better than expected. Sales declined, primarily
due to unfavorable currency and the impact of retailer inventory movements on our U.S. soup business.
“Our focus on gross margin performance began to pay dividends, as we expanded margins in a challenging environment. In addition to our productivity improvements and moderating inflation, we achieved net price realization by reducing promotional spending and taking pricing actions on the core businesses. We also made progress in addressing many of the supply chain issues we faced in the first half. Most importantly, several of our businesses delivered strong operating earnings, including the Bolthouse and Foodservice segment. I am especially satisfied with the top- and bottom-line results of our Global Baking and Snacking segment.
“In the quarter, we also made progress against our strategic enterprise redesign, including our cost reduction initiative. We believe that a strategy that focuses 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 over time."
Third-Quarter Results from Continuing Operations
Sales decreased 4 percent to $1.9 billion, primarily due to the negative impact of currency translation. Organic sales decreased 1 percent with lower volume, partly offset by lower promotional spending and higher selling prices.
Gross margin increased from 34.3 percent to 35.9 percent. Excluding items impacting comparability in the prior year, gross margin improved 0.7 percentage points. The increase in adjusted gross margin was due to productivity improvements, lower promotional spending and higher selling prices, partly offset by cost inflation and other supply chain costs.
Marketing and selling expenses decreased 2 percent to $213 million, primarily driven by the impact of currency translation and lower marketing overhead expenses, partly offset by increased advertising and consumer promotion expenses. Administrative expenses increased 5 percent to $141 million. Excluding $9 million of costs related to the implementation of the new organizational structure and cost reduction initiatives, adjusted administrative expenses decreased 1 percent to $132 million.
2
Adjusted EBIT decreased 2 percent to $305 million, reflecting the unfavorable impact of currency translation and higher marketing expenses on a constant currency basis, partly offset by a higher gross margin percentage.
Net interest expense decreased $2 million to $28 million, reflecting lower levels of debt. The tax rate decreased 0.5 percentage points to 29.7 percent. Excluding items impacting comparability, the adjusted tax rate decreased 0.4 percentage points to 30.3 percent.
Nine-Month Results from Continuing Operations
Sales of $6.389 billion were comparable to the prior year with volume gains and higher selling prices offset by the negative impact of currency translation and higher promotional spending. Organic sales increased 1 percent.
Adjusted EBIT decreased 4 percent to $985 million, reflecting a lower gross margin percentage and the unfavorable impact of currency translation, partly offset by the benefit of volume gains and lower marketing and administrative expenses.
Net interest expense decreased $11 million to $78 million, reflecting lower levels of debt. The tax rate decreased 2.1 percentage points to 29.9 percent. Excluding items impacting comparability, the adjusted tax rate decreased 1.2 percentage points to 30.1 percent. The decrease was primarily due to the favorable resolution of an intercompany pricing agreement between the U.S. and Canada.
Fiscal 2015 Guidance for Continuing Operations
Campbell now expects a year-over-year change in sales closer to the lower end of the previously announced range of -1 to +1 percent; a change in adjusted EBIT closer to the favorable end of the previously announced range of -7 to -5 percent; and a change in adjusted EPS closer to the favorable end of the previously announced range of -5 to -3 percent or $2.32 to $2.38 per share. This guidance includes an estimated 2-point negative impact from currency translation and is based on an adjusted 52-week 2014 base.

U.S. Simple Meals
Sales decreased 6 percent in the quarter to $630 million. U.S. soup sales decreased 10 percent driven by volume declines, partly offset by lower promotional spending and higher selling prices.
4
The volume declines were primarily driven by movements in retailer inventory levels. Sales decreased 4 percent in Campbell’s condensed soups, 18 percent in ready-to-serve soups and 13 percent in broth. Sales of other simple meals rose 2 percent in the quarter, driven by growth in Prego pasta sauces and Plum, partly offset by declines in Pace Mexican sauces.
Segment operating earnings decreased 16 percent to $147 million. Lower operating earnings reflected volume declines and a lower gross margin percentage, partly offset by lower marketing expenses.
Global Baking and Snacking
Sales decreased 2 percent in the quarter to $555 million including 7 points of pressure from currency translation. Excluding the negative impact of currency translation, Arnott’s sales increased driven by gains in Australia and Indonesia. Sales of Pepperidge Farm products increased as sales gains in fresh bakery products, crackers and cookies were partly offset by sales declines in frozen products.
Segment operating earnings increased 18 percent to $80 million. Higher operating earnings reflected a higher gross margin percentage, volume gains and lower administrative expenses, partly offset by higher marketing expenses and the negative impact of currency translation.
International Simple Meals and Beverages
Sales declined 6 percent in the quarter to $175 million. Excluding the 12-point negative impact of currency translation, sales gains in the Asia Pacific region and Canada were partly offset by declines in Latin America.
Segment operating earnings of $27 million were comparable to the prior year as volume gains, which generated double-digit earnings growth, were offset by the negative impact of currency translation.
U.S. Beverages
Sales decreased 2 percent in the quarter to $187 million. Declines in V8 V-Fusion beverages were partly offset by gains in V8 Splash beverages.
5
Segment operating earnings increased 17 percent to $34 million, primarily due to lower marketing expenses.
Bolthouse and Foodservice
Sales decreased 1 percent in the quarter to $353 million, reflecting volume declines in Bolthouse Farms carrots and natural ingredients.
Segment operating earnings increased 35 percent to $31 million, reflecting a higher gross margin percentage in the Bolthouse Farms refrigerated beverages and salad dressings operating segment.
Restructuring Initiatives
In the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the company incurred charges associated with its recently-announced initiatives to implement a new enterprise design that better aligns with its strategy, to reduce costs and to streamline its organizational structure. The company commenced a voluntary employee separation program and recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $9 million related to the program for severance and benefits-related costs. The company also recorded pre-tax charges of $9 million in Unallocated corporate expenses related to the implementation of these initiatives. The aggregate after-tax impact of the restructuring charges and implementation costs was $11 million, or $.04 per share.
Unallocated Corporate Expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses for the quarter were $23 million compared to $29 million a year ago. The current quarter included $9 million of costs related to the implementation of the new organizational structure and cost reduction initiatives. The prior-year quarter included a pension settlement charge of $18 million associated with a U.S. pension plan.
Cash Flow from Operations
Cash flow from operations for the first nine months was $971 million compared to $763 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
Third Quarter Ended May 3, 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 acquisitions, currency and presenting revenue on a net basis in connection with a new business model in Mexico 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. 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 the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the company incurred charges associated with its recently-announced initiatives to implement a new enterprise design that better aligns with its strategy, to reduce costs and to streamline its organizational structure. The company commenced a voluntary employee separation program and recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $9 million related to the program for severance and benefits-related costs. The company also incurred pre-tax charges of $9 million recorded in Administrative expenses related to the implementation of the initiatives. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and implementation costs was $11 million, or $.04 per share, on earnings from continuing operations. |
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 organization. The year-to-date 2014 impact was pre-tax restructuring charges of $34 million ($19 million after tax, or $.06 per share, in earnings from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company). For the year ended August 3, 2014, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $54 million ($33 million after tax, or $.10 per share, in earnings from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company).
In fiscal 2013, the company implemented initiatives to improve its U.S. supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its U.S. thermal plant network; expand access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities in Mexico; improve its Pepperidge Farm bakery supply chain cost structure; and reduce overhead in North America. The year-to-date 2014 impact was pre-tax restructuring charges of $1 million and restructuring-related costs of $2 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate impact of $2 million after tax, or $.01 per share, on earnings from continuing operations). For the year ended August 3, 2014, the company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $1 million and restructuring-related costs of $3 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate impact of $3 million after tax, or $.01 per share, on earnings from continuing operations).
(2) | 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 third quarter of fiscal 2014, the company recognized a pre-tax pension settlement charge in Cost of products sold of $18 million ($11 million after tax, or $.03 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). |
(3) | 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.

Adjusted Base for Fiscal 2015 Guidance
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. The previous tables reconcile financial information, presented in accordance with GAAP, to financial information excluding certain items. Fiscal 2014 included 53 weeks. Consequently, the company believes that investors may be able to better understand its fiscal 2015 performance excluding certain transactions and the estimated impact of the 53rd week. In establishing guidance for fiscal 2015, the adjusted fiscal 2014 results are revised to exclude the estimated impact of the 53rd week below:
