* Adjustments to GAAP due to the exclusion of expenses, gains or losses associated with certain transactions and other non-recurring items are described and reconciled to the comparable GAAP amounts in the attached tables.
(1)    Please refer to “Forward Outlook” and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information. We provide guidance on a non-GAAP basis and are unable to provide a full reconciliation to GAAP without unreasonable efforts as we cannot predict the amount or timing of certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including mark-to-market adjustments of hedging activities, asset impairment charges, and other non-recurring events or transactions that may have a significant impact to reported GAAP results.





The third quarter 2016 average Class I Mover, a measure of raw milk costs, was $15.11 per hundred-weight, an approximately 12% sequential increase from the second quarter 2016 and a decrease of nearly 8% from the third quarter 2015. The fourth quarter 2016 average Class I Mover forecast of $15.96 per hundred-weight represents an approximately 6% increase sequentially but an approximately 2% decline year-over-year.
Total volume across all products was 651 million gallons for the third quarter 2016, a 1.0% decline compared to total volume of 658 million gallons in the third quarter 2015, and represents the healthiest year-over-year volume performance the Company has delivered in at least four years. For the fourth quarter 2016, the Company expects continued improvement in total volume performance.
Based on fluid milk sales data published by the USDA through August, fluid milk volumes decreased 0.9% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2016 on an unadjusted basis. On this same basis, Dean Foods’ share of U.S. fluid milk volumes increased by 60 basis points sequentially to 35.1% for the quarter-to-date through August.
Cash Flow
Net cash provided by continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $185 million. Free cash flow provided by continuing operations, which is defined as net cash provided by continuing operations less capital expenditures, was $103 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a $138 million decrease as compared to the prior year period. Year-to-date free cash flow is comparable to the prior year period after reconciling for higher incentive compensation payouts in the first quarter 2016 and the $56 million associated with the Company’s 2014 Federal Tax refund received in the first quarter 2015. Capital expenditures totaled $36 million for the quarter.
Debt
Total outstanding debt at September 30, 2016, net of $28 million cash on hand, was approximately $878 million. The Company’s net debt to bank EBITDA total leverage ratio, on an all cash netted basis, decreased sequentially to 1.92 times at the end of the third quarter 2016 due to strong free cash flow, increased bank EBITDA, and the acquisition of the Friendly's ice cream business, which was completed in June.
Forward Outlook
“For the fourth quarter, with improving volume performance, in addition to continued pricing and cost discipline, we expect the fourth quarter to be our eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year adjusted operating income improvement. All told, we expect adjusted diluted earnings of between $0.37 and $0.45 per share,” concluded Tanner.
We provide guidance on a non-GAAP basis and are unable to provide a full reconciliation to GAAP without unreasonable efforts as we cannot predict the amount or timing of certain elements which are included in reported GAAP results, including mark-to-market adjustments of hedging activities, asset impairment charges, and other non-recurring events or transactions that may have a significant impact to reported GAAP results.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted selling and distribution expenses, Adjusted general and administrative expenses, Adjusted total operating costs and expenses, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted interest expense, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and total leverage ratio, each as described below.
This non-GAAP financial information is provided as supplemental information for investors and is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may be different than similar measures used by other companies.
We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating our performance, when making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, in determining incentive compensation for management, and in determining earnings estimates.
A full reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is set forth in the tables herein.





Adjusted Operating Results
We have supplemented the presentation of our reported GAAP gross profit, selling and distribution expenses, general and administrative expenses, total operating costs and expenses, operating income, interest expense, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per diluted share, with non-GAAP measures that adjust the GAAP measures to exclude the impact of the following (as applicable):
asset impairment charges;
incremental non-cash trademark amortization triggered by the launch of a national fresh white milk brand;
closed deal costs;
facility closing, reorganization and realignment costs;
debt issuance costs;
costs associated with the early retirement of long-term debt;
gains (losses) on the mark-to-market of our derivative contracts;
separation costs;
interest accretion in connection with litigation settlements;
gains or losses related to discontinued operations and divestitures;
income tax impacts of the foregoing adjustments; and
adjustments to normalize our income tax expense at a rate of 38%.
We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors by excluding expenses, gains or losses that are not indicative of the company’s core operating performance. In addition, we cannot predict the timing and amount of gains or losses associated with such items. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide more accurate comparisons of our ongoing business operations and are better indicators of trends in our underlying business. In addition, these adjustments are consistent with how management views our business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating the company’s ongoing performance. Further, adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income are used by management to evaluate key performance indicators of brand mix and low cost, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the impact of the adjustments discussed under “Adjusted Operating Results” above (other than the normalized income tax rate, as Adjusted EBITDA excludes the full amount of income tax expense). This information is provided to assist investors in making meaningful comparisons of our operating performance between periods and to view our business from the same perspective as our management. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analyzing the performance of our business and is a widely-accepted indicator of our ability to incur and service indebtedness and generate free cash flow. We also believe that EBITDA measures are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as measures of a company’s operating performance and debt servicing ability because such measures assist in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to capital structure, depreciation or amortization (which can vary significantly) and non-operating factors (such as historical cost).
Total Leverage Ratio
Our total leverage ratio is calculated as net debt divided by Bank EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. Net debt is calculated as consolidated funded indebtedness in accordance with our credit agreement, except on an all cash netted basis. Bank EBITDA is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our credit agreement. Management believes analysts and investors commonly use our total leverage ratio as an indicator of our ability to service existing debt and our liquidity.





Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less cash payments for capital expenditures. We believe Free Cash Flow is a meaningful non-GAAP measure that offers supplemental information and insight regarding the liquidity of our operations and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to, among other things, repay debt, invest in our business and repurchase shares of our common stock. A limitation of Free Cash Flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period.

Notes to Earnings Release Tables
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the adjusted results and certain other non-GAAP financial measures differ from the Company's results under GAAP due to the exclusion of expenses, gains or losses associated with certain transactions and other non-recurring items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. For additional information on our non-GAAP financial measures, see the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release.
(a)
In conjunction with our decision to launch DairyPure in the first quarter of 2015, we reclassified certain of our indefinite-lived trademarks to finite-lived, resulting in a triggering event for impairment testing purposes. The related adjustment reflects the elimination of the following:
i.
A non-cash charge of $109.9 million ($68.7 million net of tax) in the first quarter of 2015 related to the impairment of certain intangible assets, and related amortization expense of $5.6 million and $13.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively; and
ii.
Amortization expense recorded on these finite-lived trademarks of $3.9 million and $12.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
(b)
The adjustment reflects the elimination of expenses related to the acquisition of Friendly’s Ice Cream Holdings Corp. completed on June 20, 2016 of $0.4 million and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
(c)
The adjustment reflects the elimination of severance charges and non-cash asset impairments, net of (gains) losses on related asset sales, for approved facility closings and restructuring plans.
(d)
During the first quarter of 2015, we redeemed the remaining outstanding principal amount of $476.2 million of our 2016 senior notes. The adjustment reflects the related elimination of the following:
i.
A $38.3 million pre-tax loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2015, which consisted of debt redemption premiums of $37.3 million, a write-off of unamortized debt issue costs of $0.8 million, and a write-off of the remaining bond discount and interest rate swaps of $0.2 million; and
ii.
In conjunction with the execution of our current credit agreement and the amendment of our receivables-backed facility in the first quarter of 2015, the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs related to our previous credit facility of $5.3 million.
(e)
The adjustment reflects the elimination of the (gain) loss on the mark-to-market of our commodity derivative contracts. All of our commodity derivative contracts are marked to market in our statement of operations during each reporting period with a corresponding derivative asset or liability on our balance sheet.
(f)
The adjustment reflects the elimination of the following:
i.
Interest accretion in connection with the settlement of a previously disclosed dairy farmer class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The Court granted final approval of the settlement agreement on June 15, 2012 and the final installment payment was made in June of 2016;
ii.
Interest expense on uncertain tax positions that we retained in connection with prior discontinued operations; and
iii.
Separation charge of $10.1 million recorded in the third quarter of 2016 in connection with the Company's CEO succession plan.
(g)
The adjustment reflects the income tax impact of adjustments (a) through (f) and an adjustment to our income tax expense (benefit) to reflect income tax at a tax rate of 38%, which we believe represents our normalized long-term effective tax rate as a U.S. domiciled business.
(h)
Includes an adjustment to diluted shares outstanding to reflect an add-back of approximately 505 thousand dilutive shares, which were anti-dilutive for GAAP purposes.
