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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 Post Holdings, Inc. (herein referred to as “Post,” “the Company,” “us,” “our” or “we,” and unless otherwise stated or context otherwise indicates, all such references herein mean Post Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries) as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. 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 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, filed with the SEC on November 22, 2019.
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 results of operations, comprehensive income, financial condition, cash flows and shareholders’ equity 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.
On October 21, 2019, BellRing Brands, Inc. (“BellRing”), a subsidiary of the Company, closed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 39.4 shares of its Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), which number of shares included the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase up to an additional 5.1 shares of Class A Common Stock. The IPO was completed at an offering price of $14.00 per share and BellRing received net proceeds from the IPO of $524.4, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. As a result of the IPO and certain other transactions completed in connection with the IPO (the “formation transactions”), BellRing is a publicly-traded company whose Class A Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BRBR”. BellRing is a holding company of BellRing Brands, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BellRing LLC”), owning 28.8% of its non-voting membership units (the “BellRing LLC units”). Post owns 71.2% of the BellRing LLC units and one share of BellRing’s Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the “BellRing Common Stock”). The Class B Common Stock has voting rights but no rights to dividends or other economic rights. For so long as Post or its affiliates (other than BellRing and its subsidiaries) directly own more than 50% of the BellRing LLC units, the Class B Common Stock represents 67% of the combined voting power of the BellRing Common Stock. BellRing LLC is the holding company for Post’s historical active nutrition business, reported herein as the BellRing Brands segment and reported historically as the Active Nutrition segment. In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred transaction-related expenses of $2.1 and $1.2 during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These expenses generally included third party costs for due diligence, advisory services and government filing fees and were recorded as “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Effective October 21, 2019, the financial results of BellRing and its subsidiaries were consolidated within Post’s financial results and 28.8% of the consolidated net income and net assets of BellRing and its subsidiaries, representing the percentage of economic interest in BellRing LLC held by BellRing (and therefore indirectly held by the public stockholders of BellRing through their ownership of the Class A Common Stock), is allocated to noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) (see Note 5). The term “BellRing” as used herein generally refers to BellRing Brands, Inc.; however, in discussions related to debt facilities, the term “BellRing” refers to BellRing Brands, LLC.
NOTE 2RECENTLY ISSUED AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded there are no new pronouncements (other than the ones described below) that had or will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial condition, cash flows, shareholders’ equity or disclosures based on current information.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU requires a company to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for lessees, lessors and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” This ASU provides an additional transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new lease standard at the date of adoption with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. This ASU also gives lessors the option of electing, as a practical expedient by class of underlying asset, not to separate the lease and non-lease

6


components of a contract when those lease contracts meet certain criteria. The Company adopted these ASUs on October 1, 2019, as required by the ASUs, and utilized the cumulative effect adjustment approach. At adoption, the Company recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities of $158.1 and $168.2, respectively, on the balance sheet at October 1, 2019. The new standard did not materially impact the statements of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company provides expanded disclosures related to its leasing arrangements in accordance with theses ASUs. For additional information, refer to Note 14.
NOTE 3RESTRUCTURING
In February 2018, the Company announced its plan to close its ready-to-eat (“RTE”) cereal manufacturing facility in Clinton, Massachusetts, which manufactured certain Weetabix products distributed in North America. The transfer of production capabilities to other Post Consumer Brands facilities and the closure of the facility was completed at September 30, 2019. Final cash payments for employee-related costs were made in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. No additional restructuring costs have been or are expected to be incurred in fiscal 2020. For additional information on assets held for sale related to the closure, see Note 4.
Restructuring charges and the related liabilities are shown in the following table. Employee-related costs were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” and accelerated depreciation expense was included in “Cost of goods sold” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2018. These expenses are not included in the measure of segment performance (see Note 18).

NOTE 4 — DIVESTITURES AND AMOUNTS HELD FOR SALE
Divestiture
On October 1, 2018, 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, Inc. (“8th Avenue”) was separately capitalized through a series of transactions (the “8th Avenue Transactions”), and 8th Avenue became the holding company for Post’s historical private brands business. Post received total gross proceeds of $875.0, as well as $16.8 received in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 related to final working capital adjustments, from the 8th Avenue Transactions. Post’s gross proceeds consisted of (i) $250.0 from a third party and (ii) $625.0 from a committed senior increasing rate bridge loan (the “2018 Bridge Loan”), which was funded in fiscal 2018 prior to the closing of the 8th Avenue Transactions (see Note 15). During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a gain of $124.7 (adjusted to $126.6 during the year ended September 30, 2019) related to the 8th Avenue Transactions, which was reported as “Gain on sale of business” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The gain included foreign exchange losses previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“OCI”) of $42.1. In connection with the 8th Avenue Transactions, the Company incurred transaction-related expenses of $9.1 during the three months ended December 31, 2018. These expenses generally included third party costs for advisory services and transaction success fees, and were recorded as “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. No such gain or loss or transaction-related expenses were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2019.
Amounts Held For Sale
In connection with the closure of the Company’s Post Consumer Brands RTE cereal manufacturing facility in Clinton, Massachusetts (see Note 3), the Company had a manufacturing plant (the “Clinton Plant”) held for sale with a book value of $8.4 at both December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company had land and a building with a combined book value of $1.5 classified as held for sale at its Post Consumer Brands RTE cereal manufacturing facility in Asheboro, North Carolina (the “Asheboro Facility”) at both December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” these assets held for sale were classified as current, and were reported as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
There were no held for sale gains or losses recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2019. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a held for sale gain of $124.7 (adjusted to $126.6 during the year ended September 30, 2019), which was reported as “Gain on sale of business,” and a held for sale loss of $2.6, which was included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt, net,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the 8th Avenue Transactions. A gain of $0.6 was recorded related to the sale of the Company’s Post Consumer Brands RTE cereal warehouse in Clinton, Massachusetts and was included in “Other operating expenses (income), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 5 — EQUITY INTERESTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
BellRing
As a result of the IPO on October 21, 2019 (see Note 1), the Company (other than BellRing and its subsidiaries) owned 71.2% of the BellRing LLC units and one share of Class B Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock has voting rights but no rights to dividends or other economic rights. For so long as the Company (other than BellRing and its subsidiaries) directly owns more than 50% of the BellRing LLC units, the Class B Common Stock represents 67% of the combined voting power of the BellRing Common Stock, which provides the Company control over BellRing’s Board of Directors and results in the full consolidation of BellRing and its subsidiaries into the Company’s financial statements. The remaining interest in BellRing’s consolidated net income and net assets will be allocated to NCI. The BellRing LLC units held by the Company include a redemption feature that allows the Company to, at BellRing LLC’s option (as determined by its Board of Managers), redeem BellRing LLC units for either (i) Class A Common Stock of BellRing or (ii) cash equal to the market value of the BellRing Class A Common Stock at the time of redemption.
In the event the Company (other than BellRing and its subsidiaries) holds 50% or less of the BellRing LLC units, the holder of the share of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of BellRing LLC units held by all persons other than BellRing and its subsidiaries. In such situation, the Company, as the holder of the share of Class B Common Stock, will only be entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of BellRing LLC units held by the Company (other than BellRing and its subsidiaries). Also, in such situation, if any BellRing LLC units are held by persons other than the Company, then the Company, as the holder of the share of Class B Common Stock, will cast the remainder of votes to which the share of Class B Common Stock is entitled only in accordance with the instructions and directions from such other holders of the BellRing LLC units.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company owned 71.2% of the BellRing LLC units and the net income and net assets of BellRing and its subsidiaries were consolidated within the Company’s financial statements, and the remaining 28.8% of the consolidated net income and net assets of BellRing and its subsidiaries, representing the percentage of economic interest in BellRing LLC held by BellRing (and therefore indirectly held by the public stockholders of BellRing through their ownership of the Class A Common Stock), were allocated to NCI.

8th Avenue
The Company has a 60.5% common equity interest in 8th Avenue that is accounted for using the equity method. In determining the accounting treatment of the common equity interest, management concluded that 8th Avenue was not a variable interest entity as defined by ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation” and, as such, was evaluated under the voting interest model. Based on the terms of 8th Avenue’s governing documents, management determined that the Company does not have a controlling voting interest in 8th Avenue due to substantive participating rights held by third parties associated with the governance of 8th Avenue. However, Post does retain significant influence, and therefore, the use of the equity method of accounting is required.

The basis difference related to inventory of $2.0, net of tax, was included in equity method loss in the three months ended December 31, 2018. The basis difference related to property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets is being amortized over the weighted average useful lives of the assets.

10


statements and its assets and results from operations are reported in the Weetabix segment (see Note 18). The remaining interest in the consolidated net income and net assets of Weeatbix East Africa is allocated to NCI.
NOTE 6 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings 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 was calculated using the “if-converted” method. In addition, diluted earnings per share has been adjusted for the effect of BellRing stock awards issued to employees of BellRing and its subsidiaries, to the extent they are dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 11 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to commodity price risks relating to the purchases of raw materials and supplies, interest rate risks relating to variable rate debt and foreign currency exchange rate risks. 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.
At December 31, 2019, the Company’s derivative instruments consisted of:
Not designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815
Commodity and energy futures and option contracts, which relate to inputs that generally will be utilized within the next year;
pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps maturing in May 2021 and May 2024 that require monthly settlements and have the effect of hedging interest payments on debt expected to be issued but not yet priced; and

12


rate-lock interest rate swaps that require six lump sum settlements with the first settlement occurring in July 2020 and the last in July 2023 and have the effect of hedging interest payments on debt expected to be issued but not yet priced.
Designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815
Pay-fixed, receive-fixed cross-currency swaps maturing in July 2022 that require quarterly cash settlements and are used as net investment hedges of the Company’s investment in Weetabix, which is denominated in Pounds Sterling; and
pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps maturing in December 2022 that require monthly settlements beginning in January 2020 and are used as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments on BellRing’s variable rate debt.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, contemporaneously with the repayment of its term loan, the Company changed the designation of one of its interest rate swap contracts from a cash flow hedge to a non-designated hedging instrument. In connection with the de-designation, the Company reclassified losses previously recorded in accumulated OCI of $7.2 to “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company terminated $800.0 and $214.2 notional value of its interest rate swap and cross-currency swap contracts, respectively, that were designated as hedging instruments. In connection with the interest rate swap terminations, the Company received cash proceeds of $29.8, and reclassified previously recorded gains from accumulated OCI to “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2018. In connection with the cross-currency swap terminations, the Company received cash proceeds of $26.2, which were recorded to accumulated OCI. Reclassification of amounts recorded in accumulated OCI into earnings will only occur in the event all United Kingdom-based operations are liquidated.
The following table shows the notional amounts of derivative instruments held.
