Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 22, 2011, Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release updating its guidance for full year 2011 earnings per share and providing preliminary results for the second quarter of 2011. A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company and includes cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.

The exhibit attached hereto also presents measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors as the measures emphasize core on-going operations and are helpful in comparing past and present operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The information furnished under this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in a filing.
