KELLOGG COMPANY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2015 RESULTS, REAFFIRMS GUIDANCE FOR 2016

Full-year 2015 results met or exceeded initial guidance.
Trends in the U.S. Cereal business continued to improve in the fourth quarter.
Each of the company's international regions posted sales growth in the fourth quarter.
The company continues to expect that it will meet previous currency-neutral guidance for net sales, operating profit, and earnings per share for the full-year 2016.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. - February 11, 2016 - Kellogg Company (NYSE: K) today announced that fourth quarter 2015 reported net sales were $3.1 billion, a decrease of 10.6 percent from the fourth quarter of 2014. Fourth quarter currency-neutral comparable net sales* increased by 4.2 percent. Full-year 2015 reported net sales decreased by 7.2 percent to $13.5 billion. Full-year currency-neutral comparable net sales increased by 1.2 percent. Currency-neutral comparable net sales results include the impact of pricing in Venezuela.
The reported quarterly operating loss was $39 million; this included a significant mark-to-market adjustment of $393 million, which was primarily driven by the impact of asset returns on pension plans; the company's pension plans remain almost 90 percent funded. Currency-neutral comparable operating profit* increased by 2.8 percent in the fourth quarter. Full-year reported operating profit increased by 6.6 percent. Full-year currency-neutral comparable operating profit decreased by 2.3 percent; this included a negative impact of 3 percent from the rebasing of incentive compensation.

“Our results in 2015 met or exceeded our initial expectations. We saw good growth in many of our businesses, and importantly, trends continued to improve in the U.S. Cereal business,” said John Bryant, Chairman and CEO. "We're very pleased with the foundation that we've built. We are committed to achieving our long-term goals for growth in 2016, supported by our increasing momentum and unprecedented productivity programs."

North America
Kellogg North America’s reported net sales decreased by 8.0 percent in the fourth quarter and decreased by 4.3 percent for the full year. Currency-neutral comparable net sales declined by 0.4 percent for the fourth quarter and by 1.6 percent for the full year. The U.S. Morning Foods segment posted an increase in comparable net sales of 1.5 percent in the fourth quarter and a decrease of 1.6 percent for the full year. The performance in the fourth quarter was the result of improving trends in the U.S. Cereal business. U.S. Snacks posted a decline in comparable net sales of 1.9 percent in the fourth quarter and a decline of 1.6 percent for the full year. However, consumption improved sequentially in each of the categories in the segment. The U.S. Specialty Channels business posted an increase in comparable net sales of 1.5 percent in the fourth quarter and an increase of 0.7 percent for the full year. The North America Other business posted a decline





in currency-neutral comparable net sales of 2.0 percent in the fourth quarter and a decline of 3.2 percent for the full year. This was driven by a decline in trade inventory due to a shift to new packaging in the MorningStar Farms business and results from the Kashi business; Kashi's performance improved over the course of the year.

International
Currency-neutral comparable net sales growth in the Latin American business was 45.3 percent in the fourth quarter, largely due to the impact of the Venezuelan business; currency-neutral comparable growth for the full year was 24.6 percent, also largely due to the impact of the Venezuelan business. Currency-neutral comparable net sales in our European business increased by 1.6 percent in the fourth quarter and decreased by 0.6 percent for the full year. The good performance in the quarter resulted from excellent growth in the Snacks business, including Pringles. The Asia Pacific business posted an increase in currency-neutral comparable net sales of 3.3 percent in the fourth quarter and an increase of 4.0 percent for the full year, driven by strong rates of growth in the Asian business.
The Chinese and West African joint ventures performed well in the fourth quarter.

Interest and Tax
Kellogg’s interest expense totaled $59 million in the fourth quarter and was $227 million for the year. The comparable effective tax rate* was 24.7 percent for the fourth quarter and was 25.6 percent for the full year; both rates were lower than original expectations due to tax-planning initiatives and discrete items.

Cash flow
Cash flow,* a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from operating activities less capital expenditures, was $1.14 billion for the full year; slightly greater than expected due to excellent management of working capital. Kellogg repurchased $731 million of shares during the year.






Kellogg Reaffirms Previous Guidance for 2016, Provides Guidance for Cash Flow
In addition, Kellogg Company continues to expect that, in 2016, it will achieve its long-term target for currency-neutral comparable net sales of between 1 percent and 3 percent, and its long-term target for currency-neutral comparable operating profit growth of between 4 percent and 6 percent. The company expects growth in currency-neutral comparable earnings per share of between 6 percent and 8 percent. Guidance for operating profit excludes the impact of mark-to-market adjustments, integration costs, costs related to Project K, acquisitions, dispositions, foreign-currency translation, remeasurement of the Venezuelan business, and other items that could affect comparability. Guidance for earnings per share excludes the impact of mark-to-market adjustments, integration costs, costs related to Project K, foreign-currency translation, remeasurement of the Venezuelan business, and other items that could affect comparability; it includes the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. The company also announced today that it expects full-year cash flow to be approximately $1.1 billion. Capital expenditure for the year is expected to be between four percent and five percent of sales, including the impact of the cash required by Project K and an increase in capital spending equal to approximately one percent of sales to support the growth of the Pringles business.
Separately, Kellogg Company’s Board of Directors has approved a $1.5 billion share-repurchase program that will run through 2016 and 2017.



Conference Call / Webcast
Kellogg will host a conference call to discuss these results on Thursday, February 11, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

Comparable and Currency-Neutral Comparable EPS
For all periods presented, Comparable and Currency-Neutral Comparable basic and diluted EPS are calculated using the same shares outstanding that are used for As Reported basic and diluted EPS.

Project K and cost reduction activities
During 2013, the Company announced Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The program is expected to generate a significant amount of savings that will be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. The Company expects that this investment will drive future growth in revenues, gross margin, operating profit, and cash flow. The Company recorded pre-tax charges related to this program of $68 million and $311 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 2, 2016, respectively. The Company also recorded charges of $74 million and $298 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 3, 2015, respectively.

In 2015 we initiated the implementation of a zero-based budgeting (ZBB) program in our North America business. In support of the ZBB initiative, we incurred pre-tax charges of approximately $12 million in 2015.

Acquisitions and dispositions
In September 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Mass Foods, Egypt's leading cereal company for $46 million, or $44 million net of cash and cash equivalents acquired. The acquisition added $4 million in incremental net sales to our reported results in the European reportable segment for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 2, 2016. The incremental operating profit for the quarter and year-to-date period ended January 2, 2016 was less then one million dollars.

In January 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Bisco Misr, the number one packaged biscuits company in Egypt for $125 million, or $117 million net of cash and cash equivalents acquired. The acquisition added $15 million and $54 million in incremental net sales to our reported results in the European reportable segment for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 2, 2016, respectively. The acquisition




added less than one million and $4 million of incremental operating profit to our reported results for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 2, 2016, respectively.

During the quarter ended September 27, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell our vegan and vegetarian canned-meat substitute business unit under the Loma Linda brand to Atlantic Natural Foods (ANF), LLC of Nashville, N.C. The disposition negatively impacted reported net sales in the U.S. Specialty reportable segment by approximately $9 million for the year-to-date period ended January 3, 2015.

Integration and transaction costs
The Company has incurred integration costs related to the integration of the 2015 acquisition of Bisco Misr and the 2012 acquisition of Pringles as the Company moves these businesses into the Kellogg business model. In addition, the Company has incurred transaction costs for the September 2015 acquisition of Mass Foods and the September 2015 entry into a joint venture with Tolaram Africa. The Company recorded pre-tax integration and transaction costs of $8 million and $30 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 2, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded pre-tax integration charges of $18 million and $43 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 3, 2015, respectively.

Mark-to-market accounting for pension plans, commodities and certain foreign currency contracts
The Company recognizes mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans, commodity contracts, and certain foreign currency contracts as incurred. Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur. Changes between contract and market prices for commodities contracts and certain foreign currency contracts result in gains/losses that are recognized in the quarter they occur. The Company recorded total pre-tax mark-to-market charges of $387 million and $446 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 2, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded total pre-tax mark-to-market charges of $822 million and $784 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 3, 2015, respectively. The pre-tax mark-to-market charges for pension plans were $393 million and $828 million for the quarters ended January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, respectively, and $471 million and $744 million for the year-to-date periods ended January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, respectively.

Other costs impacting comparability
During the quarter ended July 4, 2015, a series of previously executed agreements between Kellogg's and a third party variable interest entity (VIE) were terminated resulting in our determination that the Company was no longer the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated the financial statements of the VIE as of the end of the quarter.  As a result of the agreement terminations and related settlements, the Company recognized a loss of $19 million in Other income (expense), net for the year-to-date period ended January 2, 2016.
In connection with the deconsolidation that occurred during the quarter ended July 4, 2015, the Company derecognized all assets and liabilities of the VIE, including an allocation of a portion of goodwill from the U.S. Snacks operating segment, resulting in a $67 million non-cash gain, which was recorded within operating profit, for the year-to-date period ended January 2, 2016.

During the quarter ended January 3, 2015, the Company incurred $6 million of costs related to the evaluation of potential acquisitions. 

Venezuela remeasurement and long-lived asset impairment
While Kellogg's continues to qualify for participation in CENCOEX at the official rate, there has been a continued reduction in the level of U.S. dollars available to exchange, in part due to recent declines in the price of oil and the overall decline of the macroeconomic environment within the country. The Company has experienced an increase in the amount of time it takes to exchange bolivars for U.S. dollars through the CENCOEX exchange during the year. Given this economic backdrop, and upon review of U.S. dollar cash needs in our Venezuela operations as of the quarter ended July 4, 2015, the Company concluded that it was no longer able to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars on a timely basis through the CENCOEX exchange to support our Venezuela operations resulting in a decision to remeasure our Venezuela subsidiary's financial statements using the SIMADI rate. The Company has evaluated all of the facts and circumstances surrounding our Venezuelan business and determined that as of January 2, 2016



the SIMADI rate continues to be the appropriate rate to use for remeasuring our Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements.

In connection with the change from the CENCOEX rate to the SIMADI rate that occurred in the quarter ended July 4, 2015, the Company evaluated the carrying value of our non-monetary assets for impairment and lower of cost or market adjustments. As a result of moving from the CENCOEX official rate to the SIMADI rate, the Company recorded pre-tax charges totaling $152 million in the quarter ended July 4, 2015, including $112 million in the Latin America operating segment and $40 million in the Corporate operating segment. Of the total charges, $100 million was recorded in COGS, $3 million was recorded in SGA, and $49 million was recorded in Other income (expense), net. These charges consist of $47 million related to the remeasurement of net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivar at the SIMADI exchange rate (recorded in Other income (expense), net), $56 million related to reducing inventory to the lower of cost or market (recorded in COGS) and $49 million related to the impairment of long-lived assets in Venezuela (recorded primarily in COGS).

As expected, during the second half of 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary utilized assets that continued to be remeasured at historical exchange rates. This resulted in an additional unfavorable impact of $4 million and $17 million during the quarter and year-to-date periods ended January 2, 2016 in the Latin America operating segment. The total 2015 impact of moving from the CENCOEX official rate to the SIMADI rate was $169 million on a pre-tax basis, or approximately $.42 on a fully-diluted EPS basis.

As of January 2, 2016, certain non-monetary assets related to our Venezuelan subsidiary continue to be remeasured at historical exchange rates.  As these assets are utilized by our Venezuelan subsidiary, during the first half of 2016, they will be recognized in the income statement at historical exchange rates resulting in an unfavorable impact of approximately $4 million.

Shipping day differences
The Company's fiscal year normally ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 and as a result, a 53rd week is added approximately every sixth year. The Company's 2014 fiscal year ended on January 3, 2015, and included a 53rd week. While quarters normally consist of 13-week periods, the fourth quarter of 2014 included a 14th week. For comparability, the impact of the 53rd week is excluded from our comparable results. The impact of the fourth quarter 2014 53rd week was $197 million for net sales, $36 million for operating profit and $.07 on a fully-diluted EPS basis.

Foreign currency translation and the impact of Venezuela
The Company evaluates the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis. The Company determines currency-neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.

As a result of the Company's decision to change the exchange rate that it uses to remeasure its Venezuela subsidiary from CENCOEX to the SIMADI exchange rate beginning mid-2015, the methodology the Company uses to calculate the impact of foreign currency translation, as described above, results in certain year-over-year growth rates that require additional commentary. The Company believes that the use of its standard currency-neutral methodology in combination with the additional commentary below provides important information to more fully understand currency-neutral operating results.

The Company's 2015 guidance that was maintained consistently throughout the year reflected an expectation of being approximately flat for currency-neutral comparable net sales and a decline of 2% to 4% for currency-neutral comparable operating profit. Within this guidance, Venezuela was expected to contribute approximately 1% of growth for both currency-neutral comparable net sales and currency-neutral comparable operating profit.
