POST HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(in millions, except per share information and where indicated otherwise)
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 28, 2014.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2015 presentation.
Related to the closure of its Modesto, California facility, the Company has land, building and equipment classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2014. The Company has committed to a plan for selling the assets, is actively and reasonably marketing them utilizing a third party broker, and sale is reasonably expected within one year. An impairment loss of $7.1 was recorded to adjust the carrying value of the assets to their fair value less estimated selling costs. The loss is included in “Other operating expenses, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At December 31, 2014, the $9.3 carrying value of the assets are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references in this Form 10-Q to “Post,” “the Company,” “us,” “our” or “we” mean Post Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
NOTE 2 — RESTRUCTURING
In April 2013, the Company announced management’s decision to close its plant located in Modesto, California as part of a cost savings and capacity rationalization effort. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred $3.2 of costs related to accelerated depreciation and employee severance. The transfer of production capabilities and closure of the plant was completed during September 2014, and no additional costs were incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2014. The Company had liabilities of $0.2 and $0.7 related to employee severance at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively.
NOTE 3 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On January 1, 2014, Post completed its acquisition of all the stock of Agricore United Holdings Inc. (“Agricore”) from Viterra Inc. Agricore is the parent company of Dakota Growers Pasta Company, Inc. (“Dakota Growers”), a manufacturer of dry pasta for the private label, foodservice and ingredient markets. Dakota Growers is reported in Post’s Michael Foods Group segment (see Note 15). Net sales and operating profit included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to this acquisition were $65.2 and $4.5, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
On February 1, 2014, Post completed its acquisition of Dymatize Enterprises, LLC (“Dymatize”), a manufacturer and marketer of premium protein powders, bars and nutritional supplements. In accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, the sellers were eligible for an earn-out payment of up to $17.5 based on Dymatize’s level of performance against certain financial performance targets, as defined in the purchase agreement, during calendar year 2014. Using an option pricing model, the Company estimated the acquisition date fair value of the earn-out to be approximately $5.4. As of December 31, 2014, the Company updated its estimate of the fair value of the earn-out and concluded the fair value was zero, resulting in a gain of approximately $0.7 recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, which was recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The parties have not yet agreed on a final net working capital adjustment. The Company currently estimates the final net working capital adjustment will result in an amount due back to the Company of approximately $6.0. Dymatize is reported in Post’s Consumer Brands segment (see Note 15). Net sales and operating loss included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to this acquisition were $47.0 and $(4.5), respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
On February 1, 2014, Post completed its acquisition of Golden Boy Foods Ltd. (“Golden Boy”), a manufacturer of private label peanut and other nut butters, as well as dried fruits and baking and snacking nuts. Golden Boy is reported in Post’s Private Label segment (see Note 15). Net sales and operating profit included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

related to this acquisition were $102.5 and $4.0, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Net sales and operating profit amounts are inclusive of American Blanching Company (“ABC”), which is discussed further below.
On June 2, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of MFI Holding Corporation (“Michael Foods”) from affiliates of GS Capital Partners, affiliates of Thomas H. Lee Partners and other owners, which is reported in Post’s Michael Foods Group segment (see Note 15). Michael Foods manufactures and distributes egg products and refrigerated potato products and also distributes cheese and other dairy case products to the retail, food service and food ingredient channels. Net sales and operating profit included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to this acquisition were $534.1 and $37.6, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
On August 1, 2014, Post Foods, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired a cereal brand and related inventory for $20.4. The brand is reported as part of the Consumer Brands segment.
On October 1, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of the PowerBar and Musashi brands and related worldwide assets from Nestlé S.A (“PowerBar”) for $150.0, subject to a working capital adjustment, which resulted in a payment at closing of $136.1. The parties have not yet agreed on a final net working capital adjustment. The Company currently estimates the final net working capital adjustment will result in an amount due back to the Company of approximately $1.9. PowerBar manufactures and markets a variety of products in the sports nutrition segment. PowerBar is reported in Post’s Consumer Brands segment (see Note 15). Based upon the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company has recorded $21.3 of customer relationships to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 18.3 years and $40.0 to trademarks/brands to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 20 years. Net sales and operating loss included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to this acquisition were $35.0 and $(4.5), respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
On November 1, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of ABC for $128.0, after consideration of working capital and other adjustments, on a debt-free, cash-free basis. ABC is a manufacturer of peanut butter for national brands, private label retail and industrial markets and provider of peanut blanching, granulation and roasting services for the commercial peanut industry. ABC is reported in Post’s Private Label segment (see Note 15). Based upon the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company has recorded $63.9 of customer relationships to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 17 years and $8.0 to trademarks/brands to be amortized over a weighted-average period of 10 years. ABC operations have been integrated into the Golden Boy business. Due to the level of integration, discrete sales and operating profit data is not available for ABC.
Each of the acquisitions was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the results of operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. The respective purchase prices were allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, and any excess was allocated to goodwill, as shown in the following table. Goodwill represents the value the Company expects to achieve through the implementation of operational synergies and the expansion of the business into new or growing segments of the industry. The Company expects substantially all of the final fair value of goodwill related to the current year acquisition of PowerBar to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes and does not expect the final fair value of goodwill related to the current year acquisition of ABC to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.
Certain estimated values for the Dymatize, PowerBar and ABC acquisitions, including goodwill, intangible assets, inventory and deferred taxes, are not yet finalized pending the final settlement of the purchase price and preliminary purchase price allocations and are subject to change once additional information is obtained.
The following table provides the allocation of the purchase price based upon the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed for each acquisition completed in fiscal 2015.

NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the effective income tax rate is negative 31.8%. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, the Company has recorded tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2014 using the estimated annual effective tax rate for the Company’s full fiscal year. The estimated annual effective tax rate differs significantly from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the Company’s estimate of full year earnings before income taxes which causes small variations in estimated permanent differences to have a magnified impact on the effective income tax rate percentage, the expectation that nondeductible merger and acquisition expenses and other permanently nondeductible expenses will have an unfavorable impact on the effective income tax rate and the expectation that the Domestic Production Activities Deduction and tax planning strategies implemented for certain recent acquisitions will have a favorable impact on the effective income tax rate.

NOTE 7 LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock equivalents using the “treasury stock” method. The impact of potentially dilutive convertible preferred stock is calculated using the “if-converted” method. The Company’s tangible equity units (“TEUs”) are assumed to be settled at the minimum settlement amount of 1.7114 shares per TEU for weighted-average shares for basic loss per share. For diluted loss per share, the shares, to the extent dilutive, are assumed to be settled at a conversion factor based on the Company’s daily volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock not to exceed 2.0964 shares per TEU.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 10 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to commodity price risks relating to the acquisition of raw materials and supplies, interest rate risks relating to floating rate debt, and foreign currency exchange rate risks relating to its foreign subsidiaries. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, including (but not limited to) futures contracts, option contracts, forward contracts and swaps, to manage certain of these exposures by hedging when it is practical to do so. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company maintains options, futures contracts and interest rate swaps which have been designated as economic hedges of raw materials, fuel and energy purchases and variable rate debt.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company has interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $869.5 that have the effect of converting our variable interest rate term loan debt to fixed interest rates beginning in June 2016. In addition, as of December 31, 2014, the Company has interest rate swaps with a $750.0 notional amount that obligate Post to pay a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 4% and receive three-month LIBOR and will result in a net settlement in July 2018. These swaps have the effect of locking in current low interest rates for anticipated future debt issuances to fund strategic investments, refinance existing debt or other strategic purposes. In connection with the acquisition of Michael Foods, the Company acquired additional interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $300.0 that were not settled at the closing of the acquisition and remain outstanding at December 31, 2014. The notional amounts of natural gas and heating oil futures and commodity contracts were $33.2 and $37.1, respectively, at December 31, 2014. These contracts relate to inputs that generally will be utilized within the next 12 months.
The Company’s calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. Commodity, natural gas and heating oil derivatives are valued using an income approach based on index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.
The following tables present the balance sheet location and fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments on a gross and net basis as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels: 
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs are quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
 Level 3 — Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
The deferred compensation investment is invested primarily in mutual funds and its fair value is measured using the market approach. This investment is in the same funds and purchased in substantially the same amounts as the participants’ selected investment options (excluding Post common stock equivalents), which represent the underlying liabilities to participants in the Company’s deferred compensation plans. Deferred compensation liabilities are recorded at amounts due to participants in cash, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investment options (excluding certain Post common stock equivalents to be distributed in shares) using the market approach. The Company utilizes the income approach to measure fair value for its derivative assets, which include commodity options and futures contracts. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves and forward prices. Changes in the deferred compensation investment and related liability are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Refer to Note 10 for the classification of changes in fair value of derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The carrying amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these financial instruments.
NOTE 12 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Post adopted ASU 2013-02, “Reporting Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The only reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the reported periods is amortization of actuarial loss (benefit) and prior service cost for pension and postretirement benefits totaling $0.2 and $(0.2) for the three month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amounts are primarily classified as “Cost of goods sold” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On January 29, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement as amended on May 1, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal value of $400.0. The revolving credit facility has outstanding letters of credit of $0.5 which reduces the available borrowing capacity to $399.5 at December 31, 2014.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for agreements of this type, including delivery of financial and other information, compliance with laws, maintenance of property, existence, insurance and books and records, inspection rights, obligation to provide collateral and guarantees by new subsidiaries, preparation of environmental reports, participation in an annual meeting with the Agent and the Lenders, further assurances, satisfaction of post-closing obligations, limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, restrictive agreements, use of proceeds, amendments of organization documents, accounting changes, prepayments and amendments of indebtedness, dispositions of assets, acquisitions and other investments, sale leaseback transactions, conduct of business, transactions with affiliates, dividends and redemptions or repurchases of stock, capital expenditures, and granting liens on real property.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary financial covenants including (a) a quarterly maximum senior secured leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, and (b) a quarterly minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00. However, among other provisions, the Credit Agreement permits the Company to incur additional unsecured debt only if its consolidated leverage ratio, calculated as provided in the Credit Agreement, would be less than 5.75 to 1.00 after giving effect to such new debt.
Debt Covenants
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants consisting of ratios for maximum consolidated leverage and minimum interest expense coverage. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.
NOTE 14 — PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Certain of the Company’s employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s qualified and supplemental noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans (partially subsidized retiree health and life insurance) or separate plans for Post Foods Canada Inc. Amounts for the Canadian plans are included in these disclosures and are not disclosed separately because they do not constitute a significant portion of the combined amounts.

NOTE 15 — SEGMENTS
Effective October 1, 2014, the Company reorganized its management reporting and realigned its reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.”
For the year ended September 30, 2014, Post operated in the following reportable business segments:
Post Foods: including the Post branded ready-to-eat (“RTE”) cereal business;
Michael Foods: including egg, potato, cheese and other dairy;
Active Nutrition: including high protein shakes, bars, powders and nutritional supplements;
Private Brands: including dry pasta, peanut butter and other nut butters, dried fruits and baking and snacking nuts; and
Attune Foods: including premium natural and organic cereals and snacks.
In connection with a reorganization of our business units, effective as of October 1, 2014, the reportable segments were changed as follows:
Consumer Brands: including the Post branded RTE cereal business, the legacy Active Nutrition businesses and PowerBar;
Michael Foods Group: including the Michael Foods legacy businesses and the dry pasta business; and
Private Label: including the peanut butter and other nut butters (inclusive of the ABC business), dried fruits and baking and snacking nuts businesses and the legacy Attune Foods businesses.
Management evaluates each segment’s performance based on its segment profit, which is its operating profit before impairment of intangible assets, accelerated depreciation on plant closures, restructuring expenses, and other unallocated corporate income and expenses. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company changed its methodology for allocating certain corporate costs to segment profit. Accordingly, segment profit for the three months ended December 31, 2013 has been adjusted to align with current year presentation. The following tables present information about the Company’s reportable segments, including corresponding amounts for the prior year.
