Non-GAAP financial measures.  See the tables herein for important information regarding these measures and a 


full reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.




 

Second-quarter 2015 reported net sales decreased by 5.1 percent to $3.5 billion, largely as the result of currency translation.  Currency-neutral comparable net sales increased by 0.1 percent in the second quarter; sales increased in the Latin American and Asia Pacific regions and in the Frozen Foods and Canadian businesses in North America.  Second quarter 2015 reported operating profit was $412 million, a decline of 11.6 percent; this decrease was driven primarily by up-front costs associated with Project K, a remeasurement of the Venezuelan business at the SIMADI rate of 198 Venezuelan bolivars per U.S. dollar (see Exhibit 9), and foreign-currency exchange.  Currency-neutral comparable operating profit declined by 6.8 percent due to higher distribution costs, costs associated with the timing of production, and the resetting of incentive compensation.

Reported earnings for the second quarter of 2015 were $223 million, or $0.63 per share, a decrease of 23 percent from the $0.82 per share reported in the second quarter of last year.  This quarter's reported earnings per share included negative impacts from the remeasurement of the Venezuelan business of $0.37 per share, costs associated with the Project K efficiency and effectiveness program of $0.18 per share and $0.01 per share of integration costs related to the acquisition of Pringles and Bisco Misr.  In addition, reported results included a benefit of $0.06 per share from mark-to-market and a benefit of $0.21 per share from the deconsolidation of a variable interest entity (see Exhibit 15).  Excluding all of these items, comparable second-quarter 2015 earnings were $0.92 per share.  This result included a negative impact of $0.05 per share from currency translation; currency-neutral comparable earnings per share were $0.97 per share.

North America

Net sales posted by Kellogg North America were $2.3 billion in the second quarter, a reported decrease of 2.8 percent; currency-neutral comparable net sales decreased by 1.8 percent.  The U.S. Morning Foods segment posted a currency-neutral comparable net sales decline of 2.3 percent, although trends in the cereal business continued to improve.  Currency-neutral comparable net sales in the U.S. Snacks segment decreased by 1.8 percent.  The U.S. Specialty Channels segment posted a 1.2 percent decline in currency-neutral comparable net sales in the quarter.  The North America Other segment, which is composed of the U.S. Frozen Foods, Kashi, and Canadian businesses, posted a 1.3 percent decrease in currency-neutral comparable net sales.  Reported operating profit in North America decreased by 2.5 percent; currency-neutral comparable operating profit declined by 12.7 percent, due to lower sales, higher distribution costs, costs associated with the timing of production, and the resetting of incentive compensation.

International

Reported net sales decreased by 15.3 percent in Europe in the quarter.  Currency-neutral comparable net sales decreased by 2.5 percent; the Pringles business posted good rates of growth.  In Latin America, reported net sales increased by 2.5 percent; currency-neutral comparable net sales increased by 14.5 percent, including good rates of growth across much of the region.  Reported net sales in Asia Pacific decreased by 5.2 percent; currency-neutral comparable net sales increased by 6.8 percent due to strong growth in the Asian businesses.

Interest and Tax

Kellogg's interest expense was $58 million in the second quarter.  The comparable effective tax rate* in the second quarter of 2015 was 26.9 percent, lower than last year due to tax-planning initiatives.

Cash flow

Cash flow,* a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from operating activities less capital expenditures, was $323 million for the first half of the year.  The year-over-year change was due to earnings results, core working capital changes, and increased cash costs associated with Project K.  The company continues to expect that cash flow for the full year will be approximately $1.0 billion.

Kellogg Reaffirms Full-Year Currency-Neutral Comparable 2015 Guidance

The company reaffirmed previous guidance for currency-neutral comparable net sales, operating profit, and earnings per share in 2015; the company also reaffirmed guidance for full-year cash flow.  Currency-neutral comparable net sales are expected to remain approximately unchanged year-over-year.  Kellogg expects full-year 2015 currency-neutral comparable operating profit to decrease at a rate between two and four percent.  Full-year 2015 currency-neutral comparable earnings per share are anticipated to be in a range between two percent lower and approximately unchanged.  The estimates for currency-neutral comparable operating profit and currency-neutral comparable earnings per share include a negative impact of between three and four percentage points from the rebasing of incentive compensation for 2015.  Guidance for both operating profit and earnings per share excludes the impact of mark-to-market adjustments, 2014's 53rd week, integration costs, costs related to Project K, acquisitions, dispositions, foreign-currency translation, remeasurement of the Venezuelan business, and other items that could affect comparability.  Cash flow is expected to be approximately $1.0 billion, which includes the impact of the cash required by Project K.

In addition, Kellogg Company announced that due to continued strong productivity, progress with Project K and zero-based budgeting, and the year-over-year sales momentum seen in 2015, it expects that it will achieve its long-term targets for currency-neutral comparable net sales and operating profit growth in 2016.

Conference Call / Webcast

(a)

Includes mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans, commodity contracts and certain foreign currency contracts as reflected in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expense.  Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur.  A portion of these mark-to-market adjustments were capitalized as inventoriable cost at the end of 2014 and 2013. The amounts capitalized at the end of 2014 and 2013 have been recognized in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Mark-to-market adjustments for commodities reflect the changes in the fair value of contracts for the difference between contract and market prices for the underlying commodities. The resulting gains/losses are recognized in the quarter they occur. 

(b)

Costs incurred related primarily to execution of Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The focus of the program will be to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation.  The program is expected to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories.  

(c)

In connection with the deconsolidation of a VIE in the second quarter of 2015, we re-allocated the goodwill associated with the U.S. Snacks segment and the VIE on a relative fair value basis, resulting in a $67 million non-cash gain.

(d)

Includes impact of integration costs associated with the Bisco Misr and Pringles acquisitions.

(e)

Includes impact of Bisco Misr acquisition during second quarter of 2015 and the 2014 divestiture of Loma Linda.

(f)

Venezuela remeasurement includes the impact of remeasuring bolivar-denominated balances as of quarter end at the SIMADI rate of 198.4 bolivars to the US dollar.  The income statement for this business was translated at the CENCOEX rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar through the end of the second quarter.  Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, all operating results and balance sheet values will be translated using the SIMADI rate.

(g)

Comparable net sales growth and comparable operating profit growth are non-GAAP measures which are reconciled to the directly comparable measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table.  We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding our comparable operating performance.  

(h)

Currency-Neutral Comparable Net Sales growth and Currency Neutral Comparable Operating Profit growth are non-GAAP measures which are reconciled to the directly comparable measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table.  We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding our comparable operating performance.  We evaluate the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis.  We determine currency-neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.  


(i)

We measure the volume impact (tonnage) on revenues based on the stated weight of our product shipments.

(a)

Costs incurred related primarily to execution of Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The focus of the program will be to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation.  The program is expected to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories.

(b)

Includes impact of Bisco Misr acquisition during second quarter of 2015 and the 2014 divestiture of Loma Linda.




(c)

Comparable Net Sales is a non-GAAP measure which is reconciled to the directly comparable measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table.  We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding our comparable operating performance.

Currency-Neutral Comparable Net Sales is a non-GAAP measure which is reconciled to the directly comparable measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table.  We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding our comparable operating performance.  We evaluate the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis.  We determine currency-neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.

(a)

Includes mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans, commodity contract and certain foreign currency contracts as reflected in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expense.  Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur.  A portion of these mark-to-market adjustments were capitalized as inventoriable cost at the end of 2014 and 2013. The amounts capitalized at the end of 2014 and 2013 have been recognized in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Mark-to-market adjustments for commodities reflect the changes in the fair value of contracts for the difference between contract and market prices for the underlying commodities. The resulting gains/losses are recognized in the quarter they occur. 

(b)

Costs incurred related primarily to execution of Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The focus of the program will be to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation.  The program is expected to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories.  

(c)

In connection with the deconsolidation of a VIE in the second quarter of 2015, we re-allocated the goodwill associated with the U.S. Snacks segment and the VIE on a relative fair value basis, resulting in a $67 million non-cash gain.

(d)

Includes impact of integration costs associated with the Bisco Misr and Pringles acquisitions.

(e)

Includes impact of Bisco Misr acquisition during second quarter of 2015 and the 2014 divestiture of Loma Linda.

(f)

Venezuela remeasurement includes the impact of remeasuring bolivar-denominated balances as of quarter end at the SIMADI rate of 198.4 bolivars to the US dollar.  The income statement for this business was translated at the CENCOEX rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar through the end of the second quarter.  Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, all operating results and balance sheet values will be translated using the SIMADI rate.

In connection with the deconsolidation of a VIE during the second quarter of 2015, we re-allocated goodwill associated with the U.S. Snacks segment and the VIE on a relative fair value basis, resulting in a $67 million non-cash gain, which was recorded within operating profit.  In addition, as a result of the VIE agreement terminations and related settlements, we recognized a gain of $6 million in other income (expense), net during the quarter.  This second quarter gain, in combination with a related $25 million charge during the first quarter of 2015, resulted in a net loss of $19 million in other income (expense), net on a year-to-date basis.

(d)

Includes impact of integration costs associated with the Bisco Misr and Pringles acquisitions.

(e)

Includes impact of Bisco Misr acquisition during the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 4, 2015.

(f)

Venezuela remeasurement includes the impact of remeasuring bolivar-denominated balances as of quarter end at the SIMADI rate of 198.4 bolivars to the US dollar.  The income statement for this business was translated at the CENCOEX rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar through the end of the second quarter.  Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, all operating results and balance sheet values will be translated using the SIMADI rate.

(g)

Comparable Net Income Attributable to Kellogg is a non-GAAP measure which is reconciled to the directly comparable measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table.  We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding our comparable operating performance.  

(h)

Currency-Neutral Comparable Net Income Attributable to Kellogg is a non-GAAP measure which is reconciled to the directly comparable measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table.  We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding our comparable operating performance.  We evaluate the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis.  We determine currency-neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.

(a)

Includes mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans, commodity contracts and certain foreign currency contracts as reflected in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expense.  Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur.  A portion of these mark-to-market adjustments were capitalized as inventoriable cost at the end of 2014 and 2013. The amounts capitalized at the end of 2014 and 2013 have been recognized in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Mark-to-market adjustments for commodities reflect the changes in the fair value of contracts for the difference between contract and market prices for the underlying commodities. The resulting gains/losses are recognized in the quarter they occur. 

(b)

Costs incurred related primarily to execution of Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The focus of the program will be to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation.  The program is expected to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories.
