Kraft Foods Reports 2001 Second-quarter Results; Pro Forma Diluted E.P.S. Up 10.0% to $0.33; Pro Forma Net Earnings Up 13.5% to $581 Million

Highlights:


  • Pro forma worldwide volume was up 3.4%, with Kraft Foods North America up 2.8% and Kraft Foods International up 4.9%.
  • Pro forma operating companies income was up 7.4% to $1.7 billion. Excluding an unfavorable currency impact of $29 million, pro forma operating companies income would have been up 9.3%.
  • Pro forma diluted earnings per share were up 10.0% to $0.33.
  • Pro forma net earnings were up 13.5% to $581 million.
  • Pro forma cash earnings per share, which exclude amortization of goodwill, increased 9.3% to $0.47.
  • Reported worldwide volume increased 28.6% and reported operating companies income increased 28.5%. However, due to the impact of the Nabisco acquisition on interest expense and goodwill amortization, reported net earnings were down 11.1% to $505 million and reported diluted earnings per share were down 15.4% to $0.33.

        Pro Forma results assume Kraft owned Nabisco for all of 2000,
rather than from the actual acquisition date of December 11,
2000. In addition, pro forma results assume common shares
outstanding of 1.735 billion based on the assumption that
shares issued immediately following the recent Kraft initial
public offering (IPO) were outstanding during all periods
presented and that effective January 1, 2000, the net proceeds
of the IPO were used to retire a portion of a long-term note
payable used to finance the Nabisco acquisition. These results
also adjust for certain items as detailed on the last page of
this release, including results from operations divested since
the beginning of 2000.

Reported results include the operating results of Nabisco in 2001, but not in 2000. Reported results also reflect average shares of common stock outstanding during 2001 and assume an average of 1.455 billion shares outstanding during 2000.

        Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are for business
results in the second quarter 2001 versus the second quarter
2000.

Pro Forma Net Earnings Up 13.5% to $581 Million

Kraft Foods Inc. (NYSE: KFT), a global leader in branded foods and beverages, announced today that, on a pro forma basis, 2001 second-quarter diluted earnings per share increased 10.0% to $0.33 and net earnings increased 13.5% to $581 million. Pro forma cash earnings per share, which exclude amortization of goodwill, increased 9.3% to $0.47.

On a reported basis, as a result of interest expense and amortization of goodwill resulting from the Nabisco acquisition, net earnings were down 11.1% to $505 million, and diluted earnings per share were down 15.4% to $0.33.

“Kraft had a strong quarter, with earnings growth driven by higher volume from new products and strong growth in developing markets. Earnings were in line with our expectations for the quarter, and we are pleased with the results,” said Betsy D. Holden, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Kraft.

Commenting on the full year, Co-Chief Executive Officer Roger K. Deromedi said, “Based on 1.735 billion shares outstanding, for the full year we expect to deliver pro forma diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.18 to $1.21. On a pro forma diluted cash basis, we expect to deliver earnings per share in the range of $1.74 to $1.77. The impact of currency, as well as other factors described in the Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements section of this release, are risks to these projections.”

Results of Initial Public Offering

During the quarter, Kraft completed an IPO of 280,000,000 Class A common shares. Kraft shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on June 13, 2001, under the symbol “KFT.”

Net proceeds of the offering of approximately $8.4 billion, received on June 18, 2001, were used to repay a portion of Kraft’s long-term notes payable to Philip Morris Companies Inc., decreasing Kraft’s debt-to-equity ratio from 1.84 on December 31, 2000, to 0.75 on June 30, 2001.

Nabisco Integration

“The integration of Nabisco worldwide remains on track, and we are excited to see the excellent contributions its people and products are making to our business,” Deromedi said. Holden added, “We also are excited by the emerging revenue growth opportunities offered by our combined brands, such as the introduction of Jell-O Oreo puddings in the U.S. and the Milka with Oreo chocolate bar in Argentina. As previously disclosed, we expect to capture $100 million in net cost synergies through the end of this year, which keeps us on track with our cost synergy projections.”

Reported Results

On a reported basis, for the second quarter of 2001, worldwide volume increased 28.6%; operating revenues increased 24.6% to $8.7 billion; operating companies income increased 28.5% to $1.7 billion; net earnings decreased 11.1% to $505 million; and diluted earnings per share decreased 15.4% to $0.33.

Pro Forma Results

Pro forma second-quarter 2001 worldwide volume increased 3.4%; operating revenues decreased 0.4%, primarily as a result of the adverse effect of currency and lower coffee prices; operating companies income increased 7.4%; net earnings increased 13.5%; diluted earnings per share increased 10.0%; and diluted cash earnings per share increased 9.3%. Excluding unfavorable currency impacts, operating revenues would have increased 1.6% and operating companies income would have been up 9.3%.

To allow for more meaningful comparison of business results for the second quarter of 2001 versus the second quarter of 2000, the following discussion is on a pro forma basis.

KRAFT FOODS NORTH AMERICA

Volume for Kraft Foods North America (KFNA) increased 2.8%, due primarily to strong results in the Beverages, Desserts and Cereals segment and the Oscar Mayer and Pizza segment, as well as contributions from successful new products. Operating revenues increased 1.3%, as the favorable impact of stronger volume was partially offset by the adverse impact of currency in Canada as well as lower coffee pricing due to declines in coffee commodity costs. Operating companies income improved by 7.3%, driven by volume growth, productivity savings and Nabisco cost synergies.

Following are results by segment for KFNA:

Cheese, Meals and Enhancers volume was up 0.5%, as increased shipments to grocery customers were partially offset by a decline in the U.S. foodservice business. Operating companies income increased 1.7% for this segment as strong gains in Meals and Enhancers were partially offset by the adverse impact of higher dairy commodity costs on the cheese business. Meals recorded strong volume gains led by the double-digit growth momentum in Kraft macaroni and cheese dinners. Shipments in Canada also increased, driven by strong retail branded consumption and new product momentum, including Kraft Delissio frozen pizza. Branded cheese volume was up, with strong performance in Kraft cheese slices and Kraft natural cheese. However, the company’s decision to exit the lower-margin, non-branded cheese business resulted in a decline in overall cheese shipments.

Biscuits, Snacks and Confectionery volume was up 0.6%. Operating companies income increased a strong 28.1%, due primarily to strong revenue growth in cookies and crackers and synergy savings resulting from the Nabisco acquisition and the timing of marketing spending. Biscuits recorded volume gains in total cookies and crackers, driven by several successful new products, including Chocolate Creme Oreos and Mini Oreos. In salty snacks, volume declined as a result of lower shipments of Planters nuts to non-grocery channels. Confectionery volume increased, led by the continued success of new Creme Savers bagged candies.

Beverages, Desserts and Cereals volume increased 7.1%, driven by continued strong gains in ready-to-drink beverages. Operating companies income improved by 7.2%. Refreshment beverages continued to record double-digit volume gains, aided by the continued momentum of Capri Sun Big Pouch and other ready-to-drink beverages. In coffee, volume declined as lower shipments of Maxwell House were partially offset by gains in Starbucks sold to grocery stores. Desserts volume was down as lower shipments of Jell-O dry packaged and ready-to-eat desserts and Cool Whip frozen toppings, resulting from lower consumption and reduced trade inventories, were partially offset by gains in Kraft Handi-Snacks desserts. Cereal volume declined, reflecting increased frequency of competitive promotional activity in the ready-to-eat cereal category.

Oscar Mayer and Pizza volume increased 4.6%, due to gains across all major categories. Operating companies income increased 3.1%, resulting from increased shipments, partially offset by higher meat and cheese costs. The processed meats business recorded volume gains in hot dogs, bacon, luncheon meats and Boca Foods meat alternatives. Lunchables consumption at retail remained strong, benefiting from continued momentum in Lunchables Fun Snacks. The frozen pizza business continued to record strong growth, with gains in Tombstone, DiGiorno and Jack’s, aided by the introduction of Tombstone Mexican-style pizza and strength in DiGiorno and Jack’s Half-and-Half pizzas.

KRAFT FOODS INTERNATIONAL

Volume for Kraft Foods International (KFI) increased 4.9%, benefiting from gains across most key sectors and driven by 12.1% growth in the developing markets of Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific. Operating companies income increased 8.0%, driven by volume growth, productivity savings and Nabisco cost synergies. Excluding an unfavorable currency impact of $24 million, operating companies income would have increased 16.7%. Operating revenues decreased 5.3%, as the favorable impact of higher volume was more than offset by the negative impact of currency. Excluding the effects of currency, revenues increased 1.4% as the impact of higher volume was moderated by lower coffee pricing due to declining commodity costs.

Following are results by segment for KFI:

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) volume increased 0.5%, as double-digit gains in the developing markets of Central and Eastern Europe and growth in numerous Western European countries were partially offset by volume declines in Germany and Italy. Operating companies income increased 3.2%. Excluding an unfavorable currency impact of $15 million, operating companies income would have increased 11.3%.

In EMEA beverages, volume growth was driven by favorable performances in both coffee and refreshment beverages. Coffee volume grew with strong performance registered by Jacobs Monarch in Austria; Dadak and Jacobs Ebony in the Czech Republic; Grand’ Mere in France; Onko in Germany; Saimaza in Iberia and Hag in Italy. In Bulgaria, Romania and Morocco, coffee volume grew strongly, benefiting from recent acquisitions. Refreshment beverages volume was up, driven by gains in the Czech Republic due to the recent launch of new apple-flavored Tang and higher sales to the Middle East and Africa.

Snacks volume in EMEA increased, driven by favorable confectionery and salty snacks performance. Confectionery volume was above last year, reflecting growth of Milka in France and Austria; 3-Bit in the Czech Republic; Prince Polo in Poland; the launch of Poiana Creme in Romania; Milka in the Slovak Republic and Marabou in Sweden. In the Ukraine, strong volume growth was driven by gains in Korona and Ukraina chocolate and the introduction of Milka. Overall growth in confectionery was moderated by a shortfall in Germany, due to increased price competition and trade inventory reductions. Volume for salty snacks also grew, driven by gains in Finland, Lithuania, Norway, Russia and the Ukraine.

Cheese volume in EMEA grew, driven by the favorable performance of Philadelphia cream cheese in Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and the United Kingdom and Dairylea process cheese spreads in the United Kingdom.

In EMEA grocery, lower volume was due to a shortfall in Germany, reflecting aggressive competition and a difficult trade environment, partly offset by successful promotions and new varieties of Kraft salad dressings in the United Kingdom. Convenient Meals volume was down, impacted by lower canned meats volume in Italy.

Latin America and Asia Pacific (LAAP) volume increased 11.6%, driven by gains across most sectors and in numerous countries including Australia, Brazil, the Caribbean, China, Japan and the Philippines. Operating companies income increased 17.8%. Excluding an unfavorable currency impact of $9.0 million, operating companies income would have increased by 27.8%.

Strong LAAP beverage volume growth was driven by the successful performance of refreshment beverages, including Tang powdered soft drinks in Brazil, the Caribbean markets, China and the Philippines. In Brazil, refreshment beverages volume also benefited from gains in Fresh and Clight powdered soft drinks and Maguary juice concentrate. Coffee volume grew, aided by the continued success of Maxwell House coffee mix in China.

In snacks, LAAP volume was higher in biscuits, driven by gains in Club Social crackers and Trakinas cookies in Brazil and higher sales of Oreo and Ritz in China. Biscuits volume was lower in Argentina, impacted by economic softness. Confectionery volume was lower, as a shortfall in Brazil was partly offset by higher Artic chewy candy performance in the Philippines and Toblerone chocolate in Australia.

Cheese volume in LAAP grew strongly, aided by Philadelphia cream cheese in Australia and the Caribbean markets and Kraft Cheez Whiz and Eden process cheese in the Philippines. Grocery volume was up in LAAP, benefiting from higher sales of Royal gelatin in Brazil, Kraft mayonnaise, Kraft Miracle Whip and Post cereals in the Caribbean and Kraft mayonnaise and Kraft sandwich spreads in the Philippines.

Kraft Foods is the largest branded food and beverage company headquartered in the United States and the second largest worldwide. Kraft Foods markets many of the world’s leading food brands, including Kraft cheese, Jacobs and Maxwell House coffees, Nabisco cookies and crackers, Philadelphia cream cheese, Oscar Mayer meats, Post cereals and Milka chocolates, in more than 140 countries.

(1)Relates to sales of products that would normally have occurred
in January 2000, but were made in 1999 in order for the Company’s
customers to avoid potential problems related to the Century Date
Change. These sales were previously excluded from the underlying
1999 fourth quarter results.

In addition, operating results of businesses sold since the
beginning of 2000 are excluded from underlying operating revenues
and operating companies income (but not from underlying net
earnings or earnings per share). Several international food and
domestic food operations were divested since the beginning of
2000. No assumptions were made as to the application of proceeds
from the sales of any operations.

Operating revenues and operating companies income for all periods
presented were restated to reflect the transfer of management
responsibility for Mexico and Puerto Rico from the international
food business to the North American food business.
