Regulation FD Disclosure, Financial Statements and Exhibits
Beginning in fiscal 2009, the corporation implemented certain changes to its
North American organizational structure that primarily involved the transfers of
(i) the frozen bakery and beverage (Senseo) operations from the North American
Retail Bakery segment into the North American Retail Meats segment, and (ii) a
small component of the Foodservice meats operation into the North American
Retail Meats segment. As a result of this reorganization, the three North
American segments have been renamed as follows - North American Retail
(previously named North American Retail Meats), North American Fresh Bakery
(previously North American Retail Bakery) and North American Foodservice
(previously Foodservice). The changes did not impact the international segments
and did not have a material impact on the segment assets of the North American
operations. The corporation has revised the name of the Household and Body Care
segment to International Household and Body Care.
In addition, beginning in fiscal 2009, the corporation changed the way it presents commodity derivatives within the segments. The corporation uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to commodity prices. A commodity derivative not declared a hedge in accordance with SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", is accounted for under mark-to-market accounting with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Prior to fiscal 2009, gains and losses on unrealized commodity derivatives accounted for under mark-to-market accounting were included in segment operating income. In fiscal 2009, the corporation now includes these mark-to-market gains and losses in general corporate expenses until such time that the exposure being hedged effects the earnings of the business segment. At that time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recorded in general corporate expenses for the derivative instrument will be reclassified into the business segment's results.
As a result of implementing our new operating structure, we will report the results of operations under this new structure beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K, are unaudited financial schedules which provide information regarding net sales, operating segment income(loss), and adjusted operating segment income (loss) for fiscal 2008 and 2007 and each of the four quarters of fiscal 2008 on the new reporting basis.
