Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 28, 2014, Tyson Foods, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its unaudited results of operations for its third quarter ended June 28, 2014. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
Limitation on Incorporation by Reference
In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in Items 2.02 and 9.01 of this report, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 9.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Company is disclosing under Item 8.01 of this Current Report the information set forth below.
Environmental Matter
On June 17, 2014, the Missouri attorney general filed a civil lawsuit against the Company concerning an incident that occurred in May 2014 in which some feed supplement was discharged from the Company’s plant in Monett, Missouri, to the City of Monett’s wastewater treatment plant allegedly leading to a fish kill in a local stream and odor issues around the plant. That lawsuit alleges six violations stemming from the incident, and seeks penalties against the Company, compensation for damage to the stream, and reimbursement for the State of Missouri’s costs in investigating the matter. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has also indicated to the Company that it has begun a criminal investigation into the incident. If the Company becomes subject to criminal charges, it may be subject to a fine and other relief, as well as government contract suspension and debarment. The Company is cooperating with the Environmental Protection Agency but cannot predict the outcome of its investigation at this time. It is also possible that other regulatory agencies may commence investigations and allege additional violations. Finally, the Company may be subject to claims from the City of Monett for causing it to violate various municipal regulations and for damages to the City’s treatment system.
The Company anticipates disclosing the substance of the information set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2014 (the “10-Q”). This disclosure is based on information available to the Company as of July 28, 2014, and the disclosure (if any) included in the 10-Q will reflect the information available to the Company as of the date the Company finalizes the 10-Q.
Plan to Improve Prepared Foods Business
On July 25, 2014, the Company announced that, as part of ongoing efforts to improve the performance of its prepared foods business, it plans to discontinue operations at three facilities. The closings will enable the Company to use more of the available production capacity at some of its other prepared foods plants.
The Company’s Cherokee, Iowa, plant will close effective September 27, while the Company’s Buffalo, New York, and Santa Teresa, New Mexico, plants are expected to cease operations during the first half of calendar 2015. The decision will affect approximately 950 people, including 450 at Cherokee, 300 at Buffalo and 200 at Santa Teresa.
The planned closures are due to a combination of factors including changing product needs, the age of the Cherokee facility and prohibitive cost of its renovation and the distance of the Buffalo and Santa Teresa plants from their raw material supply in the Midwest. In addition, the closings will allow the Company to shift some of the production and equipment to other, more cost-efficient Company locations.
Affected workers will be encouraged to apply for openings within the Company and also will be invited to job fairs the Company plans to host. In addition, the Company intends to work with state officials to ensure the employees are informed about unemployment benefits and any potential re-training opportunities.
2
All three plants have been part of the Company since 2001, when the company acquired IBP, inc. The Cherokee plant, which the Company leases, was originally built in 1955 as a hog slaughter plant. It currently makes deli meats, hams, bacon and hot dogs. The Buffalo facility produces hot dogs, sausage and hams. It first opened in 1969 and operated as Russer Foods until 1999, when it was acquired by IBP. Santa Teresa makes a variety of cooked products including dinner meats, diced ham and roast beef. The facility was built by John’s Brothers and opened in the spring of 1982. It became part of IBP in 1994.
Sale of Mexico and Brazil Poultry Businesses
On July 28, 2014, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell its poultry businesses in Mexico and Brazil to JBS SA. The transaction is valued at $575 million (U.S.) and will be paid in cash. The transaction is pending the necessary government approvals in Mexico and Brazil and is expected to be completed by the end of the 2014 calendar year. The sale includes $400 million for Tyson de México and $175 million for Tyson do Brasil. The Company has had a presence in Mexico for 20 years and has owned poultry operations in Brazil since 2008. The Company’s Tyson de México and Tyson do Brasil poultry units generate combined annual sales of approximately $1 billion.
Tyson Foods’ Mexican business will be acquired through Pilgrim’s Pride, whose majority owner is JBS USA Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of JBS SA. The Brazilian business is to be acquired through JBS Foods, also a wholly owned subsidiary of JBS SA.
The Mexican business, known as Tyson de México, is a vertically integrated poultry business based in Gomez Palacio in North Central México. It has three plants and employs more than 5,400 team members in its plants, offices and seven distribution centers.
The acquisition of Tyson’s Brazil operations, known as Tyson do Brasil, involves three fully integrated production plants, two in Santa Catarina and one in the state of Parana. Tyson do Brasil employs 5,000 team members.
Tyson Foods will continue to serve customers in Mexico. The company will supply them with U.S.-produced chicken as well as chicken produced in Mexico, in part through a co-packaging arrangement with Pilgrim’s Pride.
Tyson Foods’ intends to remain focused on growing its poultry operations in Asia, which include three poultry plants in China and majority ownership of two poultry plants in India. Combined, these Asian operations employ approximately 5,000 people.

Note: During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we began reporting our International operation as a separate segment, which was previously included in our Chicken segment. The International segment includes our foreign operations related to raising and processing live chickens in Brazil, China, India and Mexico. All periods presented have been reclassified to reflect this change.
Third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014
• | Operating income was reduced by $49 million in the Prepared Foods segment for impairments related to the closure of three plants. |
• | Operating income was reduced by $7 million in Other for third party transaction fees incurred as part of the Hillshire Brands acquisition. |
• | Chicken - Sales volumes for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014 grew as a result of stronger demand for chicken products and mix of rendered product sales. Average sales price decreased as feed ingredient costs declined, partially offset by mix changes. Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was negatively impacted by rapidly rising costs of outside meat purchases as well as operational disruptions at two of our facilities. For the nine months of fiscal 2014, operating income increased due to higher sales volume and lower feed ingredient costs, partially offset by decreased average sales price. Feed costs decreased $120 million and $460 million for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014, respectively. |
• | Beef - Sales volumes decreased for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 due to a reduction in live cattle processed. However, sales volumes were up for the nine months of fiscal 2014 due to better domestic demand for our beef products, partially offset by reduced exports. Average sales price increased due to lower domestic availability of fed cattle supplies, which additionally drove up livestock costs. Operating income decreased for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 due to higher fed cattle costs and periods of reduced demand for beef products, which made it difficult to pass along increased input costs, as well as lower sales volumes and increased operating costs. For the nine months of fiscal 2014, operating income increased due to improved operational execution and maximizing our revenues relative to the rising live cattle markets, partially offset by increased operating costs. |
5
• | Pork - Sales volumes increased as a result of better domestic demand for our pork products. Average sales price increased due to lower total hog supplies, which additionally resulted in higher input costs. Operating income increased as we maximized our revenues relative to live hog markets, partially attributable to operational and mix performance. |
• | Prepared Foods - Sales volumes increased as a result of improved demand for our prepared foods products and incremental volumes from the purchase of three businesses. Average sales price increased due to better product mix and price increases associated with higher input costs. Operating income decreased as a result of higher raw material and other input costs of approximately $95 million and $160 million for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014, respectively, and additional costs incurred as we invested in our growth platforms. Because many of our sales contracts are formula based or shorter-term in nature, we are typically able to offset rising input costs through pricing. However, there is a lag time for price increases to take effect. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we incurred a $49 million impairment charge related to the planned closure of three plants, which are expected to cease operation by mid-fiscal 2015. |
• | International - Sales volumes increased as we grew our businesses in Brazil and China. Average sales price decreased due to poor export market conditions in Brazil, supply imbalances associated with weak demand in China and a less favorable pricing environment in Mexico. Operating income decreased due to poor operational execution in Brazil, challenging market conditions in Brazil and China and additional costs incurred as we grew our International operation. |

EBITDA represents net income, net of interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of our business. We believe the presentation of this financial measure helps investors to assess our operating performance from period to period and enhances understanding of our financial performance and highlights operational trends. This measure is widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. However, the measurement of EBITDA may not be comparable to those of other companies in our industry, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure. EBITDA is not a measure required by or calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of operating cash flow or liquidity. EBITDA is a useful tool for assessing, but is not a reliable indicator of, our ability to generate cash to service our debt obligations because certain of the items added to net income to determine EBITDA involve outlays of cash. As a result, actual cash available to service our debt obligations will be different from EBITDA. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results, and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally, in making investment decisions.

Adjusted net income per share attributable to Tyson (adjusted EPS) and adjusted net income from continuing operations per share attributable to Tyson (adjusted continuing EPS) are presented as supplementary financial measurements in the evaluation of our business. We believe the presentation of adjusted EPS and adjusted continuing EPS helps investors to assess our financial performance from period to period and enhances understanding of our financial performance. However, adjusted EPS and adjusted continuing EPS may not be comparable to those of other companies in our industry, which limits the usefulness as comparative measures. Adjusted EPS and adjusted continuing EPS are not measures required by or calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for any measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. Investors should rely primarily on our GAAP results, and use non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally, in making investment decisions.
