1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q. In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires us to use our judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

A detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On June 16, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. This ASU removes the current presentation guidance and requires comprehensive income to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 does not change current accounting and adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance using the two separate but consecutive statements approach.

On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU provides converged guidance on how (not when) to measure fair value. The ASU provides expanded disclosure requirements and other amendments, including those that eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s disclosures or fair value measurements as presented in Note 19.

Facility Closings
Facility Closings

3. Facility Closings

As of December 31, 2011, the Company closed its pickle plant in Springfield, Missouri. Production ceased in August 2011 and has been transferred to other pickle facilities. Production at the Springfield facility was primarily related to the Food Away From Home segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded closure costs of approximately $0.2 million primarily to move equipment and for the three months ended March 31, 2011, costs of $2.4 million that consisted of a fixed asset impairment charge of $2.3 million and $0.1 million for severance, respectively. These costs are included in Other operating expense, net line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Acquisitions
Acquisitions

4. Acquisitions

On March 20, 2012, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Naturally Fresh, Inc. (“Naturally Fresh”), a privately owned Atlanta, Georgia based manufacturer of refrigerated dressings, sauces, marinades, dips and specialty items sold within each of our segments. Naturally Fresh has annual revenues of approximately $80 million. On April 13, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition and paid approximately $25 million for the business, subject to an adjustment for working capital. The acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company’s existing $750 million credit facility. The acquisition will expand the Company’s refrigerated manufacturing and packaging capabilities, broaden its distribution footprint and further develop its presence within the growing category of fresh foods. Naturally Fresh’s Atlanta facility coupled with the Company’s existing West Coast and Chicago based refrigerated foods plants will allow the Company to more efficiently service customers from coast to coast.

Income Taxes

9. Income Taxes

Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 30.4% and 33.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate is favorably impacted by an intercompany financing structure entered into in conjunction with the E.D. Smith Foods, Ltd. (“E.D. Smith”) Canadian acquisition. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 2011 is attributable to the tax impact of the repayment of certain intercompany debt and a decrease in the Canadian statutory tax rate.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company does not believe that its gross recorded unrecognized tax benefits will materially change within the next 12 months.

During the fourth quarter of 2011 the IRS initiated an examination of S.T. Specialty Foods, Inc.’s (“S.T. Specialty Foods”) pre-acquisition tax year ended October 28, 2010. The outcome of the examination is not expected to have a material effect of the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has various state tax examinations in process, which are expected to be completed in 2012 or 2013. The outcome of the various state tax examinations is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Revolving Credit Facility — The Company is party to an unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate commitment of $750 million, of which $316.1 million was available as of March 31, 2012. The revolving credit facility matures September 23, 2016. In addition, as of March 31, 2012, there were $9.2 million in letters of credit under the revolving credit facility that were issued but undrawn. Our revolving credit facility contains various financial and other restrictive covenants and requires that the Company maintains certain financial ratios, including a leverage and interest coverage ratio. The Company is in compliance with all applicable covenants as of March 31, 2012. The Company’s average interest rate on debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 1.73%.

On January 10, 2012, the Company repaid its cross border intercompany loans with its Canadian subsidiary, E.D. Smith. The repayment totaled $67.7 million and included both principal and interest. Payment was financed with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The loans were fully repaid and canceled at the time of payment. The cash will be held by E.D. Smith in short term investments and we expect to use the cash for general corporate purposes in Canada, including capital projects and acquisitions. The cash relates to foreign earnings that, if repatriated, would result in a tax liability.

High Yield Notes — The Company’s 7.75% high yield notes in aggregate principal amount of $400 million are due March 1, 2018 (the “Notes”). The Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s 100 percent owned subsidiary Bay Valley Foods, LLC and its 100 percent owned subsidiaries EDS Holdings, LLC; Sturm Foods, Inc.; and S.T. Specialty Foods and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries that may become guarantors from time to time in accordance with the applicable Indenture and may fully, jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the Company’s payment obligations under any series of debt securities offered. The Indenture governing the Notes provides, among other things, that the Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants of which the Company is in compliance as of March 31, 2012.

 

Senior Notes — The Company has outstanding $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.03% senior notes due September 30, 2013, issued in a private placement pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement among the Company and a group of purchasers. The Note Purchase Agreement contains covenants that will limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with other entities, change the nature of the business, create liens, incur additional indebtedness or sell assets. The Note Purchase Agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Company is in compliance with the applicable covenants as of March 31, 2012.

Tax Increment Financing —The Company owes $2.3 million related to redevelopment bonds pursuant to a Tax Increment Financing Plan and has agreed to make certain payments with respect to the principal amount of the bonds through May 2019.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share

11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of common shares used in the diluted earnings per share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method and includes the incremental effect related to the Company’s outstanding stock-based compensation awards.

Compensation costs related to unvested options totaled $2.7 million at March 31, 2012 and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the grants, which averages 1.9 years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. No stock options were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $0.2 million. The tax benefit recognized from stock option exercises was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In addition to stock options, the Company also grants restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance unit awards. These awards are granted under our long-term incentive plan. Employee restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards generally vest based on the passage of time. These awards generally vest one-third on each anniversary of the grant date. Director restricted stock units vest, generally, on the anniversary of the thirteenth month of the award. Certain directors have deferred receipt of their awards until their departure from the Board of Directors.

Future compensation costs related to restricted stock and restricted stock units are approximately $8.9 million as of March 31, 2012, and will be recognized on a weighted average basis, over the next 1.7 years. The grant date fair value of the awards granted in 2012 is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. The restricted stock and restricted stock units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 had a fair value of $2.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Performance unit awards are granted to certain members of management. These awards contain service and performance conditions. For each of the three performance periods, one third of the units will accrue, multiplied by a predefined percentage between 0% and 200%, depending on the achievement of certain operating performance measures. Additionally, for the cumulative performance period, a number of units will accrue; equal to the number of units granted multiplied by a predefined percentage between 0% and 200%, depending on the achievement of certain operating performance measures, less any units previously accrued. Accrued units will be converted to stock or cash, at the discretion of the compensation committee, generally, on the third anniversary of the grant date. The Company intends to settle these awards in stock and has the shares available to do so. The following table summarizes the performance unit activity during the three months ended March 31, 2012:

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation, Investigations and Audits — The Company is a party in the ordinary course of business to certain claims, litigation, audits and investigations. The Company believes that it has established adequate reserves to satisfy any liability that may be incurred in connection with any such currently pending or threatened matter. The settlement of any such currently pending or threatened matters is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, annual results of operations or cash flows.

Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments

18. Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by derivative instruments include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. Derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposure and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures.

The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates, to reduce the volatility of our financing costs, and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions, with a bias toward fixed-rate debt.

Due to the Company’s operations in Canada, we are exposed to foreign currency risks. The Company enters into foreign currency contracts to manage the risk associated with foreign currency cash flows. The Company’s objective in using foreign currency contracts is to establish a fixed foreign currency exchange rate for the net cash flow requirements for purchases that are denominated in U.S. dollars. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and changes in their fair value are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, with their fair value recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Certain commodities we use in the production and distribution of our products are exposed to market price risk. The Company utilizes a combination of derivative contracts, purchase orders and various short and long term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials to manage commodity price risk. Commodity forward contracts generally qualify for the normal purchase exception under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and therefore are not subject to its provisions.

The Company’s commodity contracts may include diesel fuel, oil and certain plastics such as high density polyethylene (“HDPE”) or polypropylene. The Company’s diesel fuel contracts are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the underlying cost of diesel fuel used to deliver products. The contracts for oil and plastics are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the underlying commodity cost of a significant component used in packaging materials. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding oil contracts with a notional amount of 18,000 barrels which expired March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding diesel fuel contracts with a notional amount of 750,000 gallons and 10.5 million pounds of polypropylene, expiring June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value. Accounts payable are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value.

The fair value of the revolving credit facility, senior notes, 7.75% high yield notes and commodity contracts are determined using Level 2 inputs. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the revolving credit facility and senior notes were estimated using present value techniques and market based interest rates and credit spreads. The fair value of the Company’s 7.75% high yield notes was estimated based on quoted market prices.

The value of the commodity contracts is based on an analysis comparing the contract rates to the forward curve rates throughout the term of the contracts. The commodity contracts are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Segment and Geographic Information and Major Customers

20. Segment and Geographic Information and Major Customers

The Company manages operations on a company-wide basis, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources in total rather than on a segment-level basis. The Company has designated reportable segments based on how management views its business. The Company does not segregate assets between segments for internal reporting. Therefore, asset-related information has not been presented. The reportable segments, as presented below, are consistent with the manner in which the Company reports its results to the chief operating decision maker.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on net sales dollars and direct operating income (gross profit less freight out, sales commissions and direct selling and marketing expenses). The amounts in the following tables are obtained from reports used by senior management and do not include income taxes. Other expenses not allocated include unallocated selling and distribution expenses and corporate expenses which consist of general and administrative expenses, amortization expense, other operating expense, interest expense, foreign currency exchange and other income. The accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
