The Hillshire Brands Company (NYSE: HSH) today reported results
for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year
2014.
-- Second quarter net sales increased 2.1% to $1.1 billion
-- Adjusted1 operating income of $139 million, up 9.0%;
reported operating income increased 16.9% to $116 million
-- Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.66, up 6.5%; reported diluted EPS from
continuing operations of $0.91 up 93.6%
-- Fiscal 2014 adjusted diluted EPS now expected to be near the high end
of the previous range
CEO Perspective
"I'm pleased to report a strong second quarter," said Sean
Connolly, president and chief executive officer of The Hillshire
Brands Company. "Despite significant input cost inflation, both
sales and profit exceeded our expectations. This reflects the
strong ongoing progress our team is making to build our brands and
improve our cost efficiencies. We are now well into the second year
of our plan and achieving our goal of delivering strong and
sustainable shareholder returns."
"During the quarter, we implemented pricing actions on the
businesses most affected by inflation. Encouragingly, the volume
impact we saw was more modest than expected, with most consumers
remaining loyal to our brands. The associated benefit, along with
strong supply chain productivity and timing of expenses, enabled us
to deliver strong performance on the bottom line."
"As we've moved into the second half, our pricing actions have
become more broad-based. This reflects our revised expectation of
significantly higher input cost inflation throughout the remainder
of the fiscal year. We've also increased our investment plans for
second-half MAP to further support our core brands and exciting new
innovations."
"Given this strong first-half performance will be partially
offset by our higher second-half investment plans, we now expect
EPS to be near the high end of the previously provided guidance
range. We also continue to expect sales for the full year to
increase slightly, despite the near-term volume pressure we
anticipate from additional pricing."
Discussion of Continuing Operations Results
Net sales of $1.1 billion were up 2.1% versus the prior year's
second quarter as positive price/mix in both the Retail and
Foodservice/Other segments more than offset volume declines
resulting largely from pricing actions. Planned declines in
commodity turkey sales also contributed to the volume declines in
the Foodservice/Other segment. Adjusted operating income of $139
million increased 9.0% over the prior year as pricing actions,
lower MAP, cost efficiencies/favorability, and timing of SG&A
and corporate expenses more than offset significant input cost
inflation. Reported operating income was $116 million, up 16.9%
from the prior year's second quarter.
On a year-to-date basis, net sales of $2.1 billion were up 1.6%
versus the prior-year period as positive price/mix more than offset
volume declines. Adjusted operating income of $215 million
decreased 5.8% versus the prior year's 44.2% increase as pricing
actions and cost efficiencies did not fully offset input cost
inflation.
Retail
Retail net sales were up 2.7% in the quarter versus the prior
year as favorable price/mix more than offset lower volumes
resulting largely from pricing actions. Operating segment income
increased 2.8% versus the prior year's 23.2% increase as increased
sales, lower MAP, cost efficiencies/favorability, and timing of
SG&A expenses more than offset higher input costs.
Jimmy Dean grew both volume and sales of frozen breakfast
sandwiches and other frozen convenience items by double digits in
the quarter. Jimmy Dean flatbread, which launched last January,
continues to expand distribution and is performing well. Aidells
also showed double-digit volume and sales growth behind new
innovation and expanded distribution of meatball offerings.
Hillshire Farm lunchmeat performed well, delivering flat volume
versus the prior year's strong increase.
MAP was down $9 million in the quarter, reflecting a shift on
certain businesses from advertising to merchandising support,
aligning the timing of MAP investment with second-half innovation
launches, and increased efficiency.
Foodservice/Other
Net sales showed a slight increase of 0.3% from the prior year's
comparable quarter as favorable price/mix offset volume declines.
Excluding commodity meat sales, net sales increased 0.7%. Operating
segment income increased 10.9% versus the prior year's 8.5%
increase as the segment maintained a rigorous approach to cost
management.
The business saw strong performance in desserts, where
double-layer Luxe Layer pies are exceeding expectations and Bistro
branded desserts sales are up double digits. The business also
launched new innovation in the C-store channel, including a Jimmy
Dean convenience breakfast sausage that is performing well.
Overall, however, the macroeconomic environment remains challenging
and the outlook for the segment remains modest.
Corporate
Excluding significant items, corporate expenses for the quarter
totaled $7 million behind cost favorability, timing of expenses,
and $3 million of favorable mark-to-market gains.
Capital Allocation
During the second quarter, the company repurchased 633 thousand
common shares for approximately $20 million. On a year-to-date
basis, the company has repurchased 933 thousand common shares for
approximately $30 million.
Outlook
The company's fiscal 2014 adjusted diluted EPS is now expected
to be near the high end of the previously provided range as
first-half over-delivery is partially offset by expense timing,
investments, and higher than expected second-half inflation. Net
sales are still expected to grow slightly as back-half innovation
and higher than previously planned MAP investments help offset
anticipated volume softness as consumers adapt to higher price
points. As second-half input cost inflation is now expected to be
significantly higher, the company expects second-half gross margin
to be relatively consistent with the first half.
Corporate expenses are now expected to be between $50-$55
million, excluding significant items and mark-to-market
adjustments. The company also expects an effective tax rate of
35-36% and continues to expect net interest expense of
approximately $40 million.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management measures and reports Hillshire Brands' financial
results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). In this release, Hillshire Brands highlights
certain items that have significantly impacted the company's
financial results and uses several non-GAAP financial measures to
help investors understand the financial impact of these significant
items. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial
measures differently than Hillshire Brands.
"Significant items" are income or charges (and related tax
impact) that management believes have had or are likely to have a
significant impact on the earnings of the applicable business
segment or on the total company for the period in which the item is
recognized that are not indicative of the company's core operating
results and affect the comparability of underlying results from
period to period. Significant items may include, but are not
limited to: charges for exit activities; consulting and advisory
costs; lease and contractual obligation exit costs; impairment
charges; tax charges on deemed repatriated earnings; tax costs and
benefits resulting from the disposition of a business; impact of
tax law changes; gains on the sale of discontinued operations;
changes in tax valuation allowances; and favorable or unfavorable
resolution of open tax matters based on the finalization of tax
authority examinations or the expiration of statutes of
limitations. Management highlights significant items to provide
greater transparency into the underlying sales or profit trends of
Hillshire Brands or the applicable business segment or discontinued
operations and to enable more meaningful comparability between
financial results from period to period. Additionally, Hillshire
Brands believes that investors desire to understand the impact of
these factors to better project and assess the longer term trends
and future financial performance of the company.
This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude from a financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP
the impact of the significant items and the impact of dispositions.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect
an additional way of viewing aspects of Hillshire Brands' business
that, when viewed together with Hillshire Brands' financial results
computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete
understanding of factors and trends affecting Hillshire Brands'
historical financial performance and projected future operating
results, greater transparency of underlying profit trends and
greater comparability of results across periods. These non-GAAP
financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for the
comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction
with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
In addition, investors frequently have requested information
from management regarding the impact of significant items.
Management believes, based on feedback it has received during
earnings calls and discussions with investors, that these non-GAAP
measures enhance investors' ability to assess Hillshire Brands'
historical and projected future financial performance. Management
also uses certain of these non-GAAP financial measures, in
conjunction with the GAAP financial measures, to understand, manage
and evaluate our businesses and in planning for and forecasting
financial results for future periods. Certain of these measures are
also used in determining achievement of compensation under our
annual incentive plan. Many of the significant items will recur in
future periods; however, the amount and frequency of each
significant item varies from period to period.
The following is an explanation of the non-GAAP financial
measures presented in this release.
"Adjusted Diluted EPS" excludes from diluted EPS for continuing
