Item 2.02.    Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
Information furnished under Item 7.01 is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 8, 2014, Post Holdings, Inc. (“Post” or the “Company”) held a conference call to discuss financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2014. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K is a slide presentation that the Company will reference on its earnings call on August 8, 2014.  Also, beginning on August 8, 2014, Post executives intend to utilize the attached presentation at investor meetings and in other forums.  Presentations will be made using these slides, or modifications thereof, in connection with other presentations in the foreseeable future.
The information contained in Items 2.02 and 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
In the slide presentation, the Company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted EBITDA. While the Company reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., this presentation includes the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA for Post and Michael Foods which is not in accordance with or a substitute for GAAP measures. Post considers Adjusted EBITDA an important supplemental measure of performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is often used to assess performance because it allows comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of various items. Any non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, and should only be read in conjunction with, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measure, see the reconciliation tables provided in the Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto.
Item 9.01.    Financial Statements and Exhibits.
