Appendix 4th Quarter Fiscal 2016 Non-GAAP Reconciliations

 
Sales, Operating Income and Operating Margin Reconciliations 15 In millions (Unaudited) (a) The estimated impact of the additional week in the 12 months of fiscal 2015 was calculated by dividing unadjusted sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 by 14 weeks. (b) Impact of additional week was calculated by using the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 adjusted operating income (prior to the additional week impact) and divided by 14 weeks. Adjusted sales, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are presented as supplementary measures of our operating performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We use adjusted sales, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin as internal performance measurements and as three criteria for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. We believe adjusted sales, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our operating performance and are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report adjusted sales, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin. Further, we believe that adjusted sales, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are useful measures because they improve comparability of results of operations from period to period. Adjusted sales, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin should not be considered as a substitute for sales, operating income or operating margin or any other measure of operating performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions. Our calculation of adjusted sales, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 2016 2015 Reported Sales 36,881$ 41,373$ Less: Impact of additional week (a) - (750) Adjusted sales 36,881$ 40,623$ Reported operating income 2,833$ 2,169$ Add: China impairment - 169 Add: Merger and integration costs - 57 Add: Prepared Foods network optimization impairment charges - 59 Add: Denison plant closure - 12 Less: Insurance proceeds (net of costs) related to a legacy Hillshire Brands plant fire - (8) Less: Gain on sale of the Mexico operation - (161) Less: Estimated impact of additional week (b) - (44) Adjusted operating income 2,833$ 2,253$ Adjusted operating margin % 7.7% 5.5% Fiscal Year

Net Debt/EBITDA Reconciliations – continued 17 (a) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2015 were based on a 53-week year while fiscal 2016, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are based on a 52-week year. (b) (b) Excludes the amortization of debt discount expense of $8 million, $10 million, $10 million, $28 million and $39 million for fiscal 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as it is included in Interest expense. (c) Represents Hillshire Brands adjusted EBITDA, prior to our acquisition, for the eleven months ended August 28, 2014. This amount is added to our Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014, in order for Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA to include a full twelve months of Hillshire Brands results on a pro forma basis for each of the periods presented. The pro forma adjusted EBITDA was derived from Hillshire Brand’s historical financial statements for the periods ended March 29, 2014 and June 28, 2014 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as amounts for the two months ended August 28, 2014, prior to the closing of the acquisition. These amounts were adjusted to remove the impact of deal costs related to Pinnacle Foods, Inc. and Tyson Foods, Inc. transactions, Storm Lake fire, and severance costs. We believe this pro forma presentation is useful and helps management, investors, and rating agencies enhance their understanding of our financial performance and to better highlight future financial trends on a comparable basis with Hillshire Brands results included for the periods presented given the significance of the acquisition to our overall results. (d) In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we adopted new accounting guidance, retrospectively, requiring classification of debt issuance costs as a reduction of the carrying value of the debt. In doing so, $29 million, $35 million, $50 million, $10 million and $14 million of deferred issuance costs have been reclassified from Other Assets to Long-Term Debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for fiscal 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Net debt to EBITDA (and to Adjusted EBITDA) represents the ratio of our debt, net of cash and short-term investments, to EBITDA (and to Adjusted EBITDA). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt to EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA are presented as supplemental financial measurements in the evaluation of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is a tool intended to assist our management and investors in comparing our performance on consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations on an ongoing basis. We believe the presentation of these financial measures helps management and investors to assess our operating performance from period to period, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt, and enhances understanding of our financial performance and highlights operational trends. These measures are widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies; however, the measurements of EBITDA (and Adjusted EBITDA) and net debt to EBITDA (and to Adjusted EBITDA) may not be comparable to those of other companies, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures. EBITDA (and Adjusted EBITDA) and net debt to EBITDA (and to Adjusted EBITDA) are not measures required by or calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as substitutes for net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of operating cash flow or liquidity. EBITDA (and Adjusted EBITDA) is a useful tool for assessing, but is not a reliable indicator of, our ability to generate cash to service our debt obligations because certain of the items added to net income to determine EBITDA (and Adjusted EBITDA) involve outlays of cash. As a result, actual cash available to service our debt obligations will be different from EBITDA (and Adjusted EBITDA). Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions.

 
Segment Operating Income Reconciliations 18 In millions (Unaudited) (a) Impact of additional week was calculated by using the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 adjusted operating income (prior to the additional week impact) and divided by 14 weeks. Adjusted segment operating income is presented as a supplementary measure of our operating performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We use adjusted segment operating income as an internal performance measurement and as one criteria for evaluating our performance relative to that of our peers. We believe adjusted segment operating income is meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our operating performance and is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report adjusted segment operating income. Further, we believe that adjusted segment operating income is a useful measure because it improves comparability of results of operations from period to period. Adjusted segment operating income should not be considered as a substitute for segment operating income or any other measure of operating performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally in making investment decisions. Our calculation of adjusted segment operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
