Charlotte, NC, - February 13, 2017 – Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: LNCE) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2016.

“We are proud of the significant accomplishments the Snyder’s-Lance team has delivered for our shareholders in 2016,” said Carl E. Lee, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the fourth quarter alone, we grew our legacy core brands 6.1%, completed the divestiture of the Diamond of California culinary nut business and continued the integration of the remaining Diamond brands. Over the course of 2016, we continued to strengthen our better-for-you product offerings, expanded our portfolio of brands with the acquisition of Diamond Foods, and delivered against our synergy and ongoing continuous improvement goals. Our strategic investments in innovation, marketing and promotion have been successful with our Snyder’s of Hanover® and Lance® brands and are beginning to bear fruit in our Emerald® and Pop Secret® brands. We have accelerated core branded growth, while expanding our operating margin to nearly 9% in our continuing operations for the year, and almost 10% for the quarter. Our focus on better-for-you snacking continued to be a driver of growth and now represents 33% of sales as we close out 2016. Lastly, our enhanced portfolio, national distribution footprint, multi-channel go-to-

market model, and combined sales organization, are already realizing revenue synergies that we will build upon in coming years.”

Mr. Lee continued, “During 2017, we will continue to change the way the world snacks with better ingredients, quality and taste, as we introduce new products and enter new categories, in order to reach more consumers and broaden our customer penetration. We are particularly excited about the innovation we plan to showcase early in 2017, including Wholey Cheese! crackers, Cape Cod thins potato chips, and our new better snacks variety packs. All of these introductions will drive increased scale in our better-for-you categories, and serve as a springboard for expanded brand reach and growth. As we grow, we will remain focused on delivering margin expansion, through both the attainment of expected cost synergies and the ongoing enterprise wide cost-reduction efforts. We will be implementing Zero-based budgeting in 2017 to drive greater efficiency and effectiveness across our entire organization. All of our recent success and disciplined execution of our strategic plan is a function of our dedicated team, and I want to thank all of our associates for their partnership, passion and dedication to achieving our goals.”

*The non-GAAP measure and related comparisons in the table above should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, our net revenue disclosure, as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Company management believes the presentation of 2016 Net Revenue Excluding Diamond Foods is useful for providing increased transparency and assisting investors in understanding our ongoing operating performance. Note: Due to the acquisition of Diamond, prior year Partner brand revenues from the sale of Kettle Brand® potato chips are now classified as Branded revenues. For the fourth quarter of 2015 the Company has reclassified $8.4 million of Partner brand revenue associated with Kettle Brand® potato chips to Branded revenue to be consistent with current year presentation.

Net revenue from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $556.2 million, an increase of 37.0% compared to $405.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Total net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016, including both continuing and discontinued operations, was $652.6 million, an increase of 60.8% compared to net revenue of $405.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Snyder’s-Lance legacy net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 3.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. This included Branded category net revenue growth of 4.9% driven by an approximately 8% increase in volume. In addition, during the fourth quarter, net revenue from the Partner Brands category increased 0.7% while net revenue from the Other category declined 0.4%.

Operating income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 59.2% to $47.1 million, as compared to $29.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted operating income in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 78.8% to $68.8 million, or 10.5% as a percentage of net revenue, as compared to $38.5 million, or 9.5% as a percentage of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The improvement in operating margin was due to strong gross margin performance and operating expense leverage. The gross margin improvements were driven by synergy realization from the Diamond Foods acquisition, in addition to lower inputs costs, improved productivity and a greater mix of branded sales, partially offset by lower net price realization. Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, declined as a result of synergy realization from the Diamond foods acquisition, partially offset by the planned higher marketing and advertising expenses to support growth of the Company’s core brands, higher incentive compensation expense due to improved operational performance as compared to the prior year, and incremental amortization expense resulting from the Diamond Foods acquisition.

Net interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased to $9.3 million compared to $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in net interest expense was the result of additional debt utilized to finance the acquisition of Diamond Foods.

The adjusted effective tax rate was 37.0% in the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to 35.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The adjusted effective tax rate in the quarter was slightly higher than expected due to the Company's inability to use certain manufacturing tax credits resulting from the utilization of the acquired net operating losses from the Diamonds Foods acquisition.

GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased to $18.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, as compared to $7.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The GAAP net loss from discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $27.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share and was due to a loss on the sale of Diamond of California of $32.6 million due to the required incremental allocation of approximately $39 million in enterprise goodwill in accordance with GAAP.

Net income from discontinued operations, excluding special items, was $10.6 million or $0.11 per diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2016, increased 66.2% to $37.0 million, as compared to $22.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 22.6% to $0.38 in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $0.31 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 39.5% to $77.1 million, or 13.9% of net revenue, as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $55.3 million or 13.6% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2015. Total adjusted EBITDA, including both continuing and discontinued operations, in the fourth quarter of 2016, increased 71.1% to $94.6 million, or 14.5% of net revenue, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $55.3 million, or 13.6% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined herein under “Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures,” and is reconciled to net income in the tables that accompany this release.

LNCE-E

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

Snyder’s-Lance’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and to facilitate a comparison of the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis and to provide measures that, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, allow for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business than GAAP measures alone. The non-GAAP measures and related comparisons should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, our GAAP disclosure, as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for providing increased transparency and assisting investors in understanding our ongoing operating performance.

Operating Income and Gross Profit, Excluding Special Items

Operating income and gross profit, excluding special items, are provided because Snyder’s-Lance believes it is useful information for understanding our results by improving the comparability of our results. Additionally, operating income and gross profit, excluding special items, provide transparent and useful information to management, investors, analysts and other parties in evaluating and assessing the Company’s primary operating results after removing the impact of unusual, non-operational or restructuring or transaction related activities that affect comparability. Operating income and gross profit, excluding special items, are two measures management uses for planning and budgeting, monitoring and evaluating financial and operating results, and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Net Income, Earnings per Share and Effective Income Tax Rate, Excluding Special Items

Net income, earnings per share, and the effective income tax rate, excluding special items, are metrics provided to present the reader with the after-tax impact of operating income, excluding special items, in

order to improve the comparability and understanding of the related GAAP measures. Net income, earnings per share, and the effective income tax rate, excluding special items, provide transparent and useful information to management, investors, analysts and other parties in evaluating and assessing our primary operating results after removing the impact of unusual, non-operational or restructuring or transaction related activities that affect comparability. Net income, earnings per share, and the effective income tax rate, excluding special items, are measures management uses for planning and budgeting, monitoring and evaluating financial and operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA

Snyder’s-Lance defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), further adjusted to exclude restructuring or transaction related expenses, and other non-cash or non-operating items as well as any other unusual items that impact the comparability of our financial information.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a key metric in the evaluation of underlying Company performance, in making financial, operating and planning decisions. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it increases transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying performance of the Company and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Additionally, Snyder’s-Lance believes adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an adjusted EBITDA measure when reporting their results. The Company has historically reported adjusted EBITDA to analysts and investors and believes that its continued inclusion provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. While EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.

(1)	The tax rate on adjusted income from continuing operations varies from the tax rate on GAAP income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2016 primarily due to the $1.4 million of discrete tax expense associated with our tax restructuring in the quarter, as well as transaction related expenses which were not deductible for tax.


(2)	The tax rate on adjusted income from discontinued operations varies from the tax rate on GAAP income from discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of 2016 primarily due to significant taxable income on the sale of Diamond of California despite a book loss of $32.6 million. This was due to the sale of goodwill which had no tax basis and for which no deferred tax liability was recorded.


(3)	The tax rate on adjusted income varies from the tax rate on GAAP income for the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily due to non-deductible transaction costs related to the acquisition of Diamond.
