Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

This information will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On May 6, 2010, Kraft Foods Inc., a Virginia corporation, issued a press release announcing earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010. A copy of the earnings press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Our top-line measure is organic net revenues, which excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and currency. We use organic net revenues and corresponding growth ratios as non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes this measure better reflects revenues on a going-forward basis and provides improved comparability of results because it excludes the volatility of currency, and the one-time impacts of acquisitions and divestitures from net revenues.

To reflect the impacts of a significant business combination, as defined by SEC Regulation S-X, we use Combined Organic Net Revenues as a top-line measure. Accordingly, Combined Organic Net Revenues includes the impacts of significant acquisitions, and excludes the impacts of other acquisitions, divestitures and currency. We use Combined Organic Net Revenues and corresponding growth ratios to reflect the organic growth rates for Kraft Foods’ base business and Cadbury. Cadbury’s organic growth rate reflects growth from the date of acquisition, or February 2, 2010, through the end of the quarter. Similar to organic net revenues, management believes Combined Organic Net Revenues better reflects revenues for the combined business on a going-forward basis.

We use Operating EPS, which is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods excluding costs related to: the integration of Cadbury; acquisition-related costs, including transaction advisory fees, U.K. stamp taxes and the impact of the Cadbury inventory revaluation; acquisition-related financing fees; and the impact of a deferred tax charge resulting from the recently enacted U.S. health care legislation. Management believes this measure better reflects earnings per share on a going-forward basis and provides improved comparability of results because it excludes the volatility of currency; certain impacts related to the Cadbury acquisition; other one-time impacts; and divestitures from earnings per share.

See the schedules attached to the press release for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above to the most comparable GAAP financial measures for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP measures we use may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are neither accessible nor deemed to be significantly different from the non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, with regard to the non-GAAP financial measures in the Outlook section of the press release, we have not provided that information.

SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME

Management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), certain components of our U.S. pension plan cost (which is a component of cost of sales and marketing, administration and research costs), general corporate expenses (which are a component of marketing, administration and research costs) and amortization of intangibles for all periods presented. We centrally manage pension plan funding decisions and determination of discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets and other actuarial assumptions. Therefore, we allocate only the service cost component of our U.S. pension plan expense to segment operating income. We exclude the unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities from segment operating income to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, we record the gains and losses on hedging activities within segment operating results. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

KRAFT FOODS REPORTS STRONG REVENUE AND INCOME GROWTH AS IT BEGINS

CADBURY INTEGRATION

 

   

Net revenues grew 26.0% to $11.3 billion; Combined Organic Net Revenues1 grew 3.9%, reflecting 3.3 percent organic net revenue1 growth of Kraft Foods’ base business2 and 8.2 percent organic net revenue growth of Cadbury

2010 Diluted EPS expected to be at least $2.35; Operating EPS at least $2.00

NORTHFIELD, Ill. – May 6, 2010 – Kraft Foods Inc. (NYSE: KFT) today reported strong first quarter 2010 results driven by good operating momentum in every geography. Volume/mix improved sequentially from the fourth quarter 2009 and contributed significantly to income growth and margin expansion for Kraft Foods’ base business.

“Our first quarter results are early evidence of our future potential in combination with Cadbury,” said Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman and CEO. “We demonstrated strong momentum in our Kraft Foods’ base business, including high-quality top-line growth and strong operating gains. In addition, our Cadbury business delivered solid financial results.”

Rosenfeld continued, “Our integration is progressing extremely well. We moved quickly to name our leadership teams, and I’m pleased that about a third of our top 50 executives are from Cadbury. We’ve confirmed our synergy targets and the specific initiatives that will drive future margin expansion and accelerate our growth.”

 

 

Net revenues from continuing operations in the first quarter increased 26.0 percent to $11.3 billion, including the favorable impact of 18.9 percentage points from the Cadbury acquisition, 4.2 percentage points from currency and a negative 0.4 percentage point impact from divestitures.

Kraft Foods’ base business is defined as the continuing operations of Kraft Foods, excluding the financial results of Cadbury.

 

1


Combined Organic Net Revenues1 grew 3.9 percent, reflecting 3.3 percent organic net revenue1 growth of Kraft Foods’ base business and 8.2 percent organic net revenue growth of Cadbury. Kraft Foods’ base business growth was driven by 3.1 percentage points from volume/mix and 0.2 percentage points from pricing. The benefit of earlier shipments of Easter products versus the prior year added approximately one-half percentage point to the combined company’s organic growth.

 

 

Operating income in the first quarter increased 2.6 percent to $1,206 million, including favorable impacts of 6.4 percentage points from currency and 17.8 percentage points from Cadbury’s operations, partially offset by a negative 25.3 percentage point impact from acquisition-related costs3 and integration costs4. Excluding these factors, Kraft Foods’ base business operating income increased 3.71 percent reflecting volume/mix gains and productivity improvements that were partially offset by a negative 10.4 percentage point impact due to the change in unrealized gains and losses from hedging activity.

Operating income margin declined 240 basis points year-over-year to 10.7 percent, including a negative 300 basis point impact due to acquisition-related costs and integration costs and a positive 20 basis point impact due to the addition of Cadbury operations. Excluding these factors, Kraft Foods’ base business operating income margin expanded to 13.51 percent. The improvement reflected an increase of 170 basis points from operations, driven primarily by volume/mix gains and productivity improvements, that was partially offset by a negative 130 basis point impact due to the change in unrealized gains and losses from hedging activity.

 

 

The tax rate in the first quarter was 57.2 percent. This rate includes the impact of a deferred tax charge of $137 million, or approximately $0.08 per share, resulting from recently enacted U.S. health care legislation, and also includes the tax impact on certain acquisition-related costs and integration costs.

Please see discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this press release.

3

Acquisition-related costs include transaction advisory fees and U.K. stamp taxes; and the impact of the Cadbury inventory revaluation.

4

Integration costs are defined as the costs associated with combining the Kraft Foods and Cadbury businesses, and are separate from those costs associated with the acquisition.

Earnings per share from continuing operations in the first quarter were $0.15, and included a negative impact of $0.34 related to acquisition-related costs and financing fees, integration costs, and the impact of U.S. health care legislation.

Operating EPS1 in the first quarter was $0.49, up 19.5 percent over EPS from continuing operations in the prior year. This was driven by $0.08 of operating gains from Kraft Foods’ base business and $0.07 of operating earnings from Cadbury.

Kraft Foods North America

Net revenues increased 7.3 percent, including a 4.6 percentage point impact from the Cadbury acquisition and a favorable 1.9 percentage point impact from currency.

Combined Organic Net Revenues1 increased 1.3 percent reflecting 1.1 percent organic net revenue 1 growth of Kraft Foods’ base business and 6.4 percent organic net revenue growth of Cadbury. Earlier shipments of Easter products had a favorable impact of approximately one-half percentage point versus the prior year.

Kraft Foods’ base business growth was driven by volume/mix gains of 1.5 percent. Pricing in the quarter declined due to a negative 0.6 percentage point impact from lower price levels in response to lower dairy costs. Growth in the quarter was also tempered by lower natural cheese volumes and a significant year-over-year decline in merchandising at a key North American customer. However, earlier shipments of Easter products partially offset this impact.

Priority categories grew 2.5 percent behind investments in several key programs including:

 

   

New advertising and innovation behind Maxwell House coffee and continued success of Capri Sun ready-to-drink beverages;

 

   

The launch of an integrated marketing campaign for Oscar Mayer as well as new products in bacon and Oscar Mayer Lunchables;

 

   

New advertising for Oreo cookies, Ritz and Wheat Thins crackers;

 

   

Improved product quality, innovation and incremental distribution drove double-digit growth of Planters snack nuts; and

 

   

New advertising and new products under Philadelphia cream cheese and Velveeta processed cheese.

Cadbury growth reflected strong gains in Trident, Stride and Dentyne gum as well as Sour Patch candies that were partially offset by lower volumes of Halls cough drops due to a mild flu season.

Segment operating income grew 20.3 percent including favorable impacts of 5.5 percentage points from the Cadbury acquisition, net of acquisition-related costs, and 1.6 percentage points from currency. Excluding these factors, double-digit growth in operating income reflected productivity savings and volume/mix gains, partially offset by increased investments in advertising.

Kraft Foods Europe

Net revenues increased 40.5 percent, including a 30.7 percentage point impact from the Cadbury acquisition and a favorable 7.8 percentage point impact from currency.

Combined Organic Net Revenues1 increased 3.1 percent reflecting Kraft Foods’ base business organic net revenue1 growth of 2.5 percent and Cadbury organic net revenue growth of 5.3 percent. Earlier shipments of Easter products had a favorable impact of approximately one percentage point versus the prior year.

Kraft Foods’ base business growth was driven by volume/mix growth of 4.8 percentage points, partially offset by a negative 2.3 percentage point impact from net price reductions. Earlier shipments of Easter products also had a favorable impact. The priority brands collectively grew at 8 percent.

 

   

Chocolate grew mid-single digits due to strong volume/mix gains. Strong in-store marketing activities, promotional programs and the introduction of new products drove double-digit growth of Milka and Toblerone. Freia and Marabou in Scandinavia also delivered solid performance.

 

   

Coffee growth was driven by solid volume/mix gains behind Kenco in the U.K. and a double-digit revenue increase of Tassimo.

 

   

Cheese grew mid-single digits behind strong growth of Philadelphia due to the introduction of new packaging and a new marketing campaign.

 

   

Biscuits declined slightly due to short-term supply issues at a distribution center early in the quarter. Despite this issue, strong growth of priority brands drove an increase in volume/mix. Oreo grew double-digits due to strong growth in the U.K. and the launch of the product in France.

Cadbury growth benefited from gains in Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate in the U.K. as well as a favorable impact from earlier shipments of Easter products versus the prior year.

Segment operating income grew 97.9 percent including favorable impacts of 39.9 percentage points from the Cadbury acquisition, net of acquisition-related costs, and 12.9 percentage points from currency. Excluding these factors, the increase was primarily due to gains from strong volume/mix growth while benefits from overhead cost reductions were reinvested in advertising.

Kraft Foods Developing Markets

Net revenues increased 66.7 percent, including a 49.2 percentage point impact from the Cadbury acquisition and a 7.7 percentage point impact from currency.

Combined Organic Net Revenues1 increased 10.8 percent reflecting Kraft Foods’ base business organic net revenue1 growth of 10.7 percent and Cadbury organic net revenue growth of 11.1 percent.

Kraft Foods’ base business growth was driven by 5.9 percentage points from volume/mix gains and 4.8 percentage points from higher price levels. The priority brands collectively grew 19 percent.

 

   

In Latin America, organic revenues grew double-digits due to higher price levels and strong volume/mix gains. The priority brands collectively grew 22 percent, led by Tang powdered beverages.

 

   

In Asia Pacific, organic revenues grew double-digits due to strong volume/mix gains, slightly offset by lower price levels. The priority brands collectively grew more than 30 percent, led by Oreo cookies and Tang powdered beverages.

 

   

In Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa, weak economic conditions and poor category trends, particularly in Central and Southeast Europe, tempered growth to mid-single digit levels. However, share gains in key markets and categories partially offset market weakness. As a result, the priority brands collectively grew 10 percent, including strong growth of Jacobs coffee.

Cadbury delivered strong growth primarily reflecting gains in gum across Latin America and chocolate in Asia, particularly India and Australia.

Segment operating income grew 73.4 percent including positive impacts of 44.0 percentage points from the Cadbury acquisition, net of acquisition-related costs, and 20.7 percentage points from currency. Excluding these factors, the increase was due to strong net revenue growth, partially offset by higher marketing investments and overheads.

OUTLOOK

The company expects Combined Organic Net Revenue7 growth of at least 4 percent in 2010, driven by approximately 4 percent organic net revenue growth7 of Kraft Foods’ base business and approximately 5 percent organic net revenue growth of Cadbury.

Diluted EPS is expected to be at least $2.35 in 2010. This includes:

 

   

Operating EPS7 of at least $2.00;

 

   

Integration costs of approximately $0.30;

 

   

Acquisition-related costs and financing fees of approximately $0.22;

 

   

U.S. health care legislation charge of $0.08; and

 

   

Earnings and gain on the sale of the Pizza business of $0.95.

Operating EPS reflects strong EPS growth of the Kraft Foods’ base business at the high end of the company’s 7 percent to 9 percent long-term EPS growth target, solid earnings performance from Cadbury as it benefits from past cost savings initiatives and a modest contribution from cost synergies. Earnings growth will be tempered in the near term by stepped-up levels of brand support across the portfolio, as well as incremental interest and shares outstanding as a result of the Cadbury acquisition.

For 2011, the company expects to deliver its long-term target of at least 5 percent organic net revenue growth and mid-teens growth in Operating EPS. Growth in Operating EPS is consistent with the previous Kraft Foods’ base business EPS growth target.

“The Cadbury acquisition is transformational for Kraft Foods, both strategically and financially, and this is reflected in our long-term outlook for the combined company,” said Rosenfeld. “We have a strong track record of successfully integrating acquired companies and we are on track to continue that with Cadbury.”

uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, continued volatility of input costs, pricing actions, increased competition, our ability to differentiate our products from private label products, risks from operating internationally, our indebtedness and our ability to pay our indebtedness, failure to realize the expected benefits of the combination with Cadbury, continued weakness in economic conditions and tax law changes. Please also see our risk factors, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the SEC, including the registration statement on Form S-4, as amended from time to time, filed by Kraft Foods in connection with the Cadbury offer, our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Kraft Foods disclaims and does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this slide presentation, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

The company’s top-line measure is organic net revenues, which excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and currency. The company uses organic net revenues and corresponding growth ratios as non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes this measure better reflects revenues on a going-forward basis and provides improved comparability of results because it excludes the volatility of currency, and the one-time impacts of acquisitions and divestitures from net revenues.

To reflect the impacts of a significant business combination, as defined by SEC Regulation S-X, the company uses Combined Organic Net Revenues as a top-line measure.

The organic growth rate of Cadbury reflects growth from the date of acquisition, or February 2, 2010, through the end of the quarter. Similar to organic net revenues, management believes Combined Organic Net Revenues better reflects revenues on a going-forward basis of the combined business.

The company uses Operating EPS, which is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Kraft Foods excluding costs related to: the integration of Cadbury; acquisition-related costs, including transaction advisory fees, U.K. stamp taxes and the impact of the Cadbury inventory revaluation; acquisition-related financing fees; and the impact of a deferred tax

charge resulting from the recently enacted U.S. health care legislation. Management believes this measure better reflects earnings per share on a going-forward basis and provides improved comparability of results because it excludes the volatility of currency; certain impacts related to the Cadbury acquisition; other one-time impacts; and divestitures from earnings per share.

See the attached schedules for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above to the most comparable GAAP financial measures for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP measures the company is using may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are neither accessible nor deemed to be significantly different from the non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, with regard to the non-GAAP financial measures in the company’s Outlook, the company has not provided that information.

SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME

Management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The company believes it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), certain components of its U.S. pension plan cost (which is a component of cost of sales and marketing, administration and research costs), general corporate expenses (which are a component of marketing, administration and research costs) and amortization of intangibles for all periods presented. The company centrally manages pension plan funding decisions and determination of discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets and other actuarial assumptions. Therefore, the company allocates only the service cost component of its U.S. pension plan expense to segment operating income. The company excludes the unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities from segment operating income to provide better transparency of its segment operating results. Once realized, the company records the gains and losses on hedging activities within segment operating results. Accordingly, the company does not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.
