TreeHouse commenced operating as a separate, standalone company on June 27, 2005. The costs of the spin-off transaction are included in second quarter and year to date results. Spin-off transaction costs included in income from operations in the second quarter were $9.5m and for the year-to-date period were $9.6m.
“I am very pleased with TreeHouse’s position as we begin our course as a public company,” said Sam K. Reed, chairman and chief executive officer. “Completing the spin-off and establishing a public company was a tremendous accomplishment. Results for the second quarter show that the businesses are operating on a sound basis. Results for our powdered non-dairy creamer segment were particularly impressive as this business continues to grow. The pickle segment remains challenged.”
