Kellogg Company Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results,
Raises Outlook for Comparable Profit Margin*
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. - August 4, 2016 - Kellogg Company (NYSE: K) today announced second-quarter 2016 results, and increased its guidance for comparable profit margin for 2016 through 2018.
“We’re making good progress on our priorities: We have continued to improve our foods to insure they are on trend; we've continued to expand the Pringles business worldwide; we're enhancing our sales capabilities; and we are designing and executing productivity initiatives that are contributing to more profit-margin expansion than we previously anticipated," said John Bryant, Kellogg Company’s chairman and chief executive officer. "We have carefully constructed a plan to boost our profit margins higher and sooner, giving us enhanced earnings visibility."
* Expected operating profit, operating profit margin and earnings per share are provided on a non-GAAP, currency-neutral comparable basis only because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company. Please refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section included later in this press release for a further discussion of our use of non-GAAP measures, including quantification of known expected adjustment items.

Q2 Results:
• | Kellogg’s Q2 2016 GAAP (or "Reported") earnings per share were up significantly from the prior-year quarter, driven mainly by lower one-time costs and higher profit margins. Non-GAAP, comparable earnings per share were off slightly from the year-earlier quarter, due to the negative impact of currency translation, mostly related to our Venezuelan business. Non-GAAP, currency-neutral comparable earnings increased strongly year-on-year, and ahead of the Company’s expectations, owing primarily to better profit-margin performance in North America. |
• | Second-quarter 2016 reported net sales decreased, primarily due to the effect of currency translation resulting from the remeasurement of the Venezuelan business in mid-2015. Currency-neutral comparable net sales increased strongly in the quarter, as a result of inflation-related sales growth in Venezuela; currency-neutral comparable net sales excluding the impact of Venezuela decreased modestly. |
• | Quarterly reported operating profit increased due to favorable one-time costs, as well as to strong performance in inflationary Venezuela and cost savings in North America. Currency-neutral comparable operating profit increased strongly, with half of the gain attributable to the Venezuela profit performance, and the rest coming primarily from the margin expansion in North America. |
• | Currency-neutral comparable operating profit and earnings were ahead of the Company's expectations in the second quarter. |

Q2 Business Performance:
Please refer to the segment tables in the back of this document.
• | The company continued to make progress on its priorities, including stabilizing cereal in the U.S. and Australia, good emerging-markets growth, improved profit margins, and Pringles growth worldwide. |
• | Kellogg North America’s net sales declined on a reported and currency-neutral comparable basis, but generated strong cost savings under the Project K and Zero-Based Budgeting initiatives. Reported operating profit in North America decreased, due to one-time costs and to adverse currency translation in Canada. Currency-neutral comparable operating profit increased, primarily due to cost-savings from the Project K and Zero-Based Budgeting initiatives. |
• | The U.S. Morning Foods segment posted a net sales decline on both a reported and currency-neutral comparable basis, but its six core cereal brands held all-channel share and the segment's profit margins improved strongly. |
• | The U.S. Snacks segment posted a net sales decline on both a reported and currency-neutral comparable basis, but core brands like Cheez-It, Pringles, and Rice Krispies Treats continued to post consumption growth. |
• | The U.S. Specialty Channels segment posted a slight increase in reported and currency-neutral comparable net sales in the quarter, with growth in key brands and channels, and increased profit margins. |
• | The North America Other segment, which is composed of the U.S. Frozen Foods, Kashi, and Canadian businesses, posted a decrease in reported and currency-neutral comparable net sales, amidst price elasticity in Canada, and portfolio rationalization and food and packaging transitions in Frozen Foods and Kashi. |
• | Kellogg Europe posted a decrease in reported net sales in the quarter, driven mainly by currency translation; currency-neutral comparable net sales were flat year-over-year, as broad-based growth in Pringles and wholesome snacks were offset by softness in U.K. cereal. |
• | In Latin America, reported net sales decreased due to the translation effect of a sharply devalued Venezuelan currency; currency-neutral comparable net sales increased significantly because of inflationary Venezuela; excluding Venezuela, currency-neutral comparable net sales declined slightly, amidst difficult economic conditions. |
• | Reported net sales in Asia Pacific decreased because of adverse currency translation; currency-neutral comparable net sales increased on good growth across the region for Pringles, and continued improvement in Australia, where the company gained share in cereal. While not reported in our sales results, the joint ventures in China and West Africa continued to perform well. |
Full Year 2016 Outlook*:
• | The Company is raising its full-year guidance for earnings per share on a currency-neutral comparable basis, to $4.11-$4.18, from previous guidance of $4.00-$4.07. |
• | The increase is driven by higher currency-neutral comparable operating profit, which is now expected to increase by 15-17%, from our previous estimate of 11-13%. |
• | This increased guidance is based on two factors: The better-than-expected first-half profit performance in inflationary Venezuela, and an increased forecast for operating profit margin for the rest of the business. |
• | The company believes its currency-neutral comparable operating profit growth excluding Venezuela will come in at the high end of the 4-6% growth range previously communicated. The company now expects higher savings from Zero-Based Budgeting in North America, along with the roll-out of a similar program in its international regions. |
• | These savings are expected to more than offset the impact of a trimmed net sales outlook excluding Venezuela, now expected to come in at the low end of the 0-2% range previously communicated. |
• | Because of further weakening in currency exchange rates for Venezuela and for other currencies, particularly in the aftermath of Britain's vote to exit from the European Union, currency translation is expected to have a more negative impact than previously estimated. |
• | The company expects full-year cash flow from operating activities to be approximately $1.7 billion. The company reaffirmed that it expects full-year cash flow to be approximately $1.1 billion, including capital expenditure. Capital expenditure for the year is still expected to be between 4% and 5% of sales, which translates approximately into $525-$625 million; this includes 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. |
Profit-Margin Outlook for 2017-2018*:
• | The company also announced that it has plans to accelerate and increase the previously announced goals for expanding its currency-neutral comparable operating profit margin. |
• | It now believes it will increase this margin by approximately 350 basis points from 2015 levels, and that it will realize the increase through 2018, an acceleration of two years from its previous guidance. This acceleration comes from a combination of expanding Zero-Based Budgeting across North America and International segments, pursuing a more disciplined approach to revenue growth management, and other potential initiatives. |
• | These actions are expected to drive accelerated currency-neutral comparable operating profit and earnings growth in 2017 and 2018, even as they contribute to holding net sales flat during that time period. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This filing includes non-GAAP financial measures that we provide to management and investors that exclude certain items that we do not consider part of on-going operations. Items excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are discussed in the "Significant items impacting comparability" section of this filing. Our management team consistently utilizes a combination of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate business results, to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions, including incentive compensation. As a result, we believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team and improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and in their analysis of ongoing operating trends.
All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures used include comparable net sales, comparable gross margin, comparable SGA, comparable operating profit, comparable operating profit margin, comparable effective tax rate, comparable net income attributable to Kellogg Company, comparable diluted EPS, and cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are also evaluated for year-over-year growth and on a currency-neutral basis to evaluate the underlying growth of the business and to exclude the effect of foreign currency. We determine 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. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
• | Comparable net sales: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the pre-tax effect of acquisitions, divestitures, and shipping day differences. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in the company's underlying net sales performance. By providing this non-GAAP net sales measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of net sales performance for the Company and each of our reportable segments for the periods presented. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives behind net sales growth, pricing realization, and the impact of mix on our business results. This non-GAAP measure is also used to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions. Currency-neutral comparable net sales represents comparable net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency. |
• | Comparable gross profit, comparable gross margin, comparable SGA, comparable SGA%, comparable operating profit, comparable operating profit margin, comparable net income attributable to Kellogg Company, and comparable diluted EPS: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of Project K and cost reduction activities, acquisitions, divestitures, integration costs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans, commodities and certain foreign currency contracts, costs associated with the VIE deconsolidation and costs associated with the Venezuela remeasurement. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in the company's underlying profitability. By providing these non-GAAP profitability measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the company's profitability measures for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve |
profitability, such as Project K, ZBB and Revenue Growth Management, as well as to evaluate the impacts of inflationary pressures and decisions to invest in new initiatives within each of our segments. Currency-neutral comparable represents comparable excluding foreign currency impact.
• | Comparable effective tax rate: We adjust the GAAP financial measure to exclude tax effect of Project K and cost reduction activities, acquisitions, divestitures, integration costs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans, commodities and certain foreign currency contracts, costs associated with the Venezuela remeasurement, costs associated with the VIE deconsolidation, and costs associated with the early redemption of debt outstanding. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in the company's underlying tax rate. By providing this non-GAAP profitability measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the company's effective tax rate for the periods presented. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to monitor the effectiveness of initiatives in place to optimize our global tax rate. |
• | Cash flow: Defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. Cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases once all of the Company’s business needs and obligations are met. Additionally, certain performance-based compensation includes a component of this non-GAAP measure. |
These measures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP reporting measures.
Forward-looking guidance for comparable net sales, comparable operating profit, comparable operating profit margin, comparable net income attributable to Kellogg, comparable diluted EPS, and cash flow is included in this press release. Guidance for net sales and 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. We have provided these non-GAAP measures for future guidance for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures.
We are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of mark-to-market adjustments, Venezuela remeasurement, acquisitions or dispositions because these impacts are dependent on future changes in market conditions (interest rates, return on assets, and commodity prices) or future decisions to be made by our management team and Board of Directors. As a result, these items are not included in the guidance provided. Therefore, we are unable to provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures used in our guidance without unreasonable effort as certain information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company.
See the table below that outlines the projected impact of certain other items that are excluded from non-GAAP guidance:

* 2016 full year guidance for net sales, operating profit, and earnings per share are provided on a non-GAAP, comparable and currency-neutral comparable basis only because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company. The Company is providing quantification of known adjustment items where available.

The estimated full-year impact of foreign currency is calculated based on the difference between current-year forward rates and prior-year rates that were available at the end of the current reporting period for each currency in which the Company is expected to transact. These rates were applied to forecasted revenue and expense activity for the remainder of the year to estimate year-over-year foreign currency impact.

Significant items impacting comparability
Project K and cost reduction activities
During 2013, we announced Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The program is expected to generate a significant amount of savings that may be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. We expect that this investment will drive future growth in revenues, gross margin, operating profit, and cash flow. We recorded pre-tax charges related to this program of $60 million and $107 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 2, 2016, respectively. We also recorded charges of $90 million and $158 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 4, 2015, respectively.
In 2015 we initiated the implementation of a Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) program in our North America business. During 2016 ZBB is being expanded to include the international segments of the business. In support of the ZBB initiative, we incurred pre-tax charges of $12 million and $17 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 2, 2016.
Acquisitions
In September 2015, we completed the acquisition of Mass Foods, Egypt's leading cereal company for $46 million, or $44 million net of cash and cash equivalents acquired. In our European reportable segment, for the quarter ended July 2, 2016 the acquisition added $5 million in net sales and less than $1 million of operating profit (before integration costs) that impacted the comparability of our reported results. For the year-to-date period ended July 2, 2016 the acquisition added $10 million in net sales and approximately $1 million in operating profit (before integration costs) that impacted comparability of our reported results.
In January 2015, we 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 quarter ended April 2, 2016 represented the final reporting period in which year-over-year comparability was impacted for this acquisition. In our European reportable segment, the acquisition added $9 million in net sales and less than $1 million of operating profit (before integration costs) that impacted the comparability of our reported results for the year-to-date period ended July 2, 2016.
Integration costs
We have incurred integration costs related to the integration of the 2015 acquisitions of Bisco Misr and Mass Foods, the 2015 entry into a joint venture with Tolaram Africa, and the 2012 acquisition of Pringles (integration completed in 2015) as we move these businesses into the Kellogg business model. We recorded pre-tax integration costs that were less than $1 million and approximately $1 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 2, 2016, respectively. We also recorded integration costs of $6 million and $14 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 4, 2015, respectively.
Mark-to-market accounting for pension plans, commodities and certain foreign currency contracts
We recognize 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. We recorded a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit of $20 million and a pre-tax mark-to-market charge of $4 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 2, 2016, respectively. We also recorded a pre-tax mark-to-market benefit of $35 million and a pre-tax mark-to-market charge of $32 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 4, 2015, respectively.
Other costs impacting comparability
During the quarter ended April 2, 2016, we redeemed $475 million of our 7.45% U.S. Dollar Debentures due 2031. During that same quarter, in connection with the debt redemption, we incurred $153 million of interest expense, consisting primarily of a premium on the tender offer and also including accelerated losses on pre-issuance interest rate hedges, acceleration of fees and debt discount on the redeemed debt and fees related to the tender offer.
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 we were no longer the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, we deconsolidated the financial statements of the VIE as of the end of the quarter. As a result of the agreement terminations and related settlements, we recognized a gain of $6 million in Other income (expense), net during the quarter. This gain, in combination with a related $25 million charge that was recorded during the quarter ended April 4, 2015, resulted in a net loss of $19 million in Other income (expense), net for the year-to-date period ended July 4, 2015.
In connection with the deconsolidation that occurred during the quarter, we 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.
Venezuela remeasurement
During 2015 we experienced an increase in the amount of time it takes to exchange bolivars for U.S. dollars through the DIPRO (formerly CENCOEX) exchange. Due to this reduced availability of U.S. dollars and upon review of U.S. dollar cash needs in our Venezuela operations as of the quarter ended July 4, 2015, we concluded that we were no longer able to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars on a timely basis through the DIPRO exchange resulting in a decision to remeasure our Venezuela subsidiary's financial statements using the DICOM (formerly SIMADI) rate. In connection with the change in rates, we 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, we 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 consisted 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).
We have evaluated all of the facts and circumstances surrounding our Venezuelan business and determined that as of July 2, 2016 the DICOM rate continues to be the appropriate rate to use for remeasuring our Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements.
Following the change to the SIMADI rate as of July 4, 2015, certain non-monetary assets related to our Venezuelan subsidiary continued to be remeasured at historical exchange rates. As these assets were utilized by our Venezuelan subsidiary during the second half of 2015 and first quarter of 2016 they were recognized in the income statement at historical exchange rates resulting in an unfavorable impact. We experienced an unfavorable pre-tax impact of approximately $4 million in the year-to-date period ended July 2, 2016 related to the utilization of these remaining non-monetary assets.
Additionally, with the introduction of the new DICOM floating rate in February 2016 we experienced an unfavorable pre-tax impact of approximately $5 million and $7 million in the quarter and year-to-date periods ended July 2, 2016 related to the utilization of non-monetary assets. These non-monetary assets were recognized in the income statement at historical exchange rates and primarily impacted COGS.
Foreign currency translation and the impact of Venezuela
We evaluate the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis. We determine 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 our decision to change the exchange rate that we use to remeasure our Venezuela subsidiary from DIPRO (formerly CENCOEX) to the DICOM (formerly SIMADI) exchange rate beginning mid-2015, the methodology we use to calculate the impact of foreign currency translation, as described above, results in certain key performance metrics that are difficult to interpret when Venezuela is included in the financial results. The impact of this change in Venezuela exchange rates on year-over-year performance metrics is anticipated to be most significant for the four quarters ended July 2, 2016. During this four-quarter transitional period, to provide additional visibility to our business performance, we have also included key performance metrics excluding our Venezuela business. We believe the use of our standard currency-neutral methodology in combination with the additional visibility provided by excluding Venezuela from our key performance metrics provides important information to more fully understand currency-neutral operating results during this four-quarter transition.
