Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2013

Net revenues increased 35.2% to $58.9 million, compared to $43.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to a 55.8% increase in the healthy / natural product portfolio. Gross profit as a percent of net revenues decreased 190 basis points to 18.5% compared to 20.4% in the prior year. This decline is due to a decrease in gross margin in the snack segment related to increased manufacturing of co-packed products during the period, as well as a reduction in sales of certain licensed products.

ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY — RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED INFORMATION TO GAAP INFORMATION

(in thousands)

(unaudited)

(1)  EBITDA is defined as net income, net of taxes, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We further adjust EBITDA to exclude the gain on the sale of our DSD business and adjust for acquisition-related transaction costs, which include outside fees and expenses, and to ignore the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business to arrive at adjusted EBITDA. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA is net cash provided by operating activities. We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and it provides an overall evaluation of our financial condition. We include adjusted EBITDA in this earnings announcement to provide transparency to investors and to assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.  Adjusted EBITDA has certain inherent limitations as an analytical tool and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our profitability or our liquidity. Further, EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(2)  Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share permit a comparative assessment of our SG&A expenses, net income and diluted earnings per share by excluding certain one-time expenses, and merger and restructuring expenses to make a more meaningful comparison of our operating performance.
