Exhibit 99.2

Important Information
This presentation includes forward-looking statements, including statements about our future financial and
operating performance and results, fiscal 2012 financial results, bolstering internal controls and
remediating material weaknesses.  These forward-looking statements are based on our assumptions,
expectations and projections about future events only as of the date of this presentation, and we make such
forward-looking statements pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Many of our forward-looking statements include discussions of trends and anticipated
developments under the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” sections of the periodic reports that we file with the SEC.  We use the words
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “may” and other similar expressions to
identify forward-looking statements that discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our results
of operations or financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. You also should carefully
consider other cautionary statements elsewhere in this presentation and in other documents we file from
time to time with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this presentation.  Actual results may differ
materially from what we currently expect because of many risks and uncertainties, such as:  uncertainty
about the need to file additional periodic reports and financial information in connection with our
restatement disclosures; risks relating to our leverage and its effect on our ability to respond to changes in
our business, markets and industry; increase in the cost of our debt; ability to raise additional capital and
possible dilutive impact of raising such capital; risks relating to litigation and regulatory proceedings; risks
related to our current inability to timely file required periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and any resulting delisting of Diamond’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select
Market; uncertainties relating to relations with growers; availability and cost of walnuts and other raw
materials; increasing competition and possible loss of key customers; and general economic and capital
markets conditions.  Diamond Foods separately reports financial results using non-GAAP financial
measures; a reconciliation of Diamond’s financial results determined in accordance with GAAP can be found
in our press release.


Fiscal 2010 and 2011 Restatement


3
Background on Restatement
On November 1, 2011 Diamond announced that its Audit Committee had initiated an investigation
into certain payments to walnut growers.
On February 8, 2012, Diamond announced that their Audit Committee concluded that a “continuity”
payment
made
to
growers
in
August
2010
of
approximately
$20
million
and
a
“momentum”
payment
made to growers in September 2011 of approximately $60 million were not accounted for in the
correct periods. 
As a result, the Audit Committee determined that a restatement of financial reports for fiscal 2010
and 2011 was required.  In addition, the Audit Committee identified material weaknesses in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Since the February 2012 announcement, Diamond has undertaken a broad and thorough restatement
process.
A complete re-audit of entire company financials for fiscal 2010 and 2011
Restatement required review of quarterly walnut cost estimates across fiscal 2010 and 2011
Material
weaknesses
were
identified
in
three
areas:
control
environment;
walnut
grower
accounting;
accounts payable and accrued expenses.  Diamond has taken actions to correct material weaknesses.
For
a
complete
discussion
of
material
weaknesses
and
remediation
steps

Key Drivers of Financial Performance in
First Three Quarters of Fiscal 2012
Significant decline in walnut crop receipts led to a 36 percent decrease in non-retail
revenue in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, which contributed to a substantial drop
in gross margin for the company between fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012.
Plants operating below capacity
Increase in average walnut cost per pound in excess of 50 percent led to gross margin
compression as price increases lagged commodity cost rises.
Additional pressure on other commodities (e.g. pecans, peanuts, cashews, oil) also
impacted snack portfolio.
Emerald and Kettle experienced high levels of promotional spending.
Emerald SKU proliferation drove high operating costs in plants.
Gross margin also impacted by high manufacturing/supply chain operating costs due to
nut product line complexity and excess capacity in nut and Kettle U.S. facilities.


17
Guidance for Full-Year Fiscal 2012
Net sales expected to be between $975 and $980 million
Snack sales expected to be between $600 and $605 million
Culinary sales expected to be between $290 and $295 million
Gross margin expected to be between 18.0% to 18.5%
Adjusted EBITDA expected to be between $78 and $81 million
