Kellogg Company Reports Strong Second Quarter 2023 Results, Raises Full-Year Financial Outlook
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. - August 3, 2023 - Kellogg Company (NYSE: K) today announced second quarter 2023 results and raised its full-year sales and profit guidance.
Highlights:

•Double-digit operating profit growth was driven by an earlier-than-expected recovery in the Company's gross profit margin and by net sales growth.

•The Company delivered net sales growth that was broad-based with all regions in growth except for AMEA where currency translation was substantially adverse. On an organic basis, all regions remained in growth.

•Reflecting the strong second quarter and first half results, the Company again raised its guidance for organic basis net sales growth, as well as for currency-neutral, adjusted operating profit and earnings per share.

•The Company continues to progress towards its planned separation of its North America cereal business, which is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter.

•On August 9th, the Company will hold an Investor Day at which it will share the strategies, capital structures, and financial outlook for the two post-spin companies, Kellanova and WK Kellogg Co.

"Our second quarter featured continued strength of our brands, execution, and results," said Steve Cahillane, Kellogg Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Not only do we continue to grow net sales organically above our long-term targets, we are also seeing the results of our efforts to recover profit margins."

Mr. Cahillane added, "These better-than-expected results and raised full-year outlook indicate a strong attention to business delivery, even as we execute the transformational separation of Kellogg Company into two, more focused companies: The global, snacking-oriented Kellanova, and our North America cereal business, WK Kellogg Co. That we are advancing toward the spin-off while delivering strong results is a credit to the engagement of our employees." * Non-GAAP financial measure.

Second Quarter Consolidated Results
    Kellogg’s second quarter 2023 GAAP (or "reported") net sales increased by 5% year on year, reflecting positive price/mix, and sustained momentum in snacks that more than offset the impacts of price elasticity and adverse currency translation. On an organic basis, which excludes the impact of currency, the Company's net sales increased by 7%.

Through the first half of the year, Kellogg’s reported net sales increased by 7% as positive price/mix and sustained momentum in snacks more than offset adverse currency translation and the impact of rising price elasticity. On an organic basis, which excludes the impact of currency, the Company's net sales increased by 10%.

Reported operating profit in the second quarter increased 23% year on year, reflecting higher net sales, favorable net mark-to-market, and recovery in gross margin. On an adjusted basis, which excludes mark-to-market and one-time charges, operating profit increased by 14%, and excluding currency translation, it increased by 14%.

Through the first half of the year, reported operating profit increased by 2% year on year, as higher net sales and recovering gross profit margin more than offset incremental up-front costs related to the pending separation, an unfavorable mark-to-market impact, and adverse foreign currency translation. On an adjusted basis, which excludes mark-to-market and one-time charges, operating profit increased by 15%, and excluding currency translation it increased by 16%.

Reported earnings per share in the second quarter increased by 8% year on year, driven by higher net sales, favorable net mark-to-market and one-time charges, and a lower effective tax rate that more than offset incremental up-front costs related to the pending separation. On an adjusted basis, which excludes one-time items, earnings per share increased 6%, and excluding currency translation, adjusted earnings per share increased by 5%.

Through the first half of the year, reported earnings per share decreased by 13% year on year, as higher mark-to-market charges, incremental up-front costs related to the pending separation, and a higher effective tax rate were partially offset by higher net sales and operating profit. On an adjusted basis, which excludes one-time charges, earnings per share increased by 3%, and excluding currency translation, earnings per share increased by approximately 4%.

Year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities was $644 million, representing a decrease from the year-earlier period's $805 million, due primarily to one-time cash outlays related to the pending spin-off. Capital expenditure of $339 million was higher than the prior year, reflecting timing of investment.

Cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditure, was $305 million through the first six months of the year.

Second Quarter Business Performance

Please refer to the segment tables in the back of this document.
     In the second quarter of 2023, the Company again delivered net sales growth above its long-term target driven by sustained price realization and led by snacks globally. Operating profit growth was driven by this top-line momentum and a gross margin that continued to recover sooner than anticipated, aided by productivity, revenue growth management, and improving supply and service levels. This performance prompted management to again raise its full year outlook. Meanwhile, the Company continues to make progress toward the spin-off of its North America cereal business, which is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter.

Kellogg North America’s reported net sales in the second quarter increased by 3% year on year, driven by price/mix growth that more than offset the impact of price elasticity, as well as the lapping of prior-year trade inventory replenishment. On an organic basis, net sales increased by 4% year on year. Kellogg North America's reported operating profit decreased by 3% year on year, as incremental up-front costs related to the pending separation more than offset the benefits of higher net sales, improving service levels and operating efficiencies. On an adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted basis, which exclude one-time charges, operating profit increased by 14%.

Through the first half of the year, Kellogg North America's reported net sales increased by 8%, as price/mix growth and momentum in snacks more than offset the impact of price elasticity, as well as the lapping of prior-year trade inventory replenishment. On an organic basis, net sales increased by 9%. Kellogg North America's reported operating profit increased by 2% year on year, as the benefit of higher net sales and the lapping of residual fire and strike costs in last year's first quarter more than offset incremental up-front costs related to the pending separation and increased brand investment. On an adjusted basis, operating profit increased 17% and on a currency-neutral adjusted basis, operating profit increased 18%.

Kellogg Europe's reported net sales increased 12% year on year in the second quarter, as price/mix growth and momentum in snacks more than offset the impact of price elasticity. On an organic basis, net sales increased 11%. Kellogg Europe’s reported operating profit decreased by 2% year on year, due to high input cost inflation and the lapping of exceptionally strong year-earlier growth. On an adjusted basis, operating profit decreased by 2%, and excluding currency it decreased by 4%.

Through the first half of the year, Kellogg Europe's reported net sales increased by 7%, due to price/mix growth and net sales momentum in snacks which more than offset adverse foreign currency translation and price elasticity. On an organic basis, net sales increased by 9%. Kellogg Europe’s first-half reported operating profit decreased by 4% year on year, due to high input cost inflation and the lapping of exceptionally strong year-earlier growth. On an adjusted basis, operating profit decreased by 4%, and excluding currency it decreased by 3%.

Kellogg Latin America's second quarter reported net sales increased 17% year on year, due to price/mix growth and favorable currency translation. On an organic basis, net sales increased by 9%. Reported operating profit decreased by 2% year on year, due to adverse mark-to-market charges that more than offset higher net sales and favorable currency translation. Adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted operating profit increased by 29% and 20%, respectively.

Through the first half of the year, Kellogg Latin America's reported net sales increased by 16% year on year, on increased price/ mix, momentum in snacks, and favorable currency translation. On an organic basis, net sales increased by approximately 10%. Kellogg Latin America's reported operating profit increased by 19% year on year, driven by higher net sales and favorable currency translation that more than offset higher one-time charges and high input cost inflation. On an adjusted basis, operating profit increased by 27%, while excluding currency translation it increased by 20%.

3



Kellogg Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa's ("AMEA's") second quarter reported net sales decreased by 3% year on year, as significantly adverse currency translation more than offset price/mix growth. On an organic basis, net sales increased by 14%. Kellogg AMEA's reported operating profit increased by 8% year on year, as revenue growth management actions taken more than offset the impact of adverse currency translation and high input cost inflation. On an adjusted basis, operating profit increased by 8%, and excluding currency translation it increased by 19%.

Through the first half of the year, Kellogg AMEA's reported net sales increased by 2% year on year, as price/mix growth and momentum across the region more than offset adverse foreign currency translation. On an organic basis, net sales increased by 17%. Kellogg AMEA's reported operating profit increased by 10%, as the impact of increased net sales more than offset adverse currency translation. On an adjusted basis, operating profit increased 10%, and excluding currency translation it increased 20%.


Kellogg Raises Full-Year Financial Guidance
Reflecting its strong first-half results, underlying trends, and confidence in its second-half plans, Kellogg Company has raised its full-year 2023 guidance as follows:

•Raises its guidance for organic-basis net sales growth to approximately +7%, from its prior guidance of +6% to +7%, reflecting the strength of the Company's first half results. This guidance continues to assume price/mix growth and a gradual rise in price elasticities.

•Raises its guidance for adjusted-basis operating profit growth to +9% to +10% on a currency-neutral basis, from its prior guidance of +8% to +10%. This reflects earlier-than-expected progress toward profit margin recovery.

•Raises its guidance for adjusted-basis earnings per share decline of (1)% to (2)% on a currency-neutral basis, from prior guidance of approximately (1)% to (3)%, despite significant year-on-year pressure from the impact on pension income and interest expense of lower financial asset values and higher interest rates.

•Affirms its guidance for net cash provided by operating activities to be approximately $1.7 - $1.8 billion, with capital expenditure of approximately $0.7 billion, resulting in guidance for cash flow of approximately $1.0 - $1.1 billion. This is below 2022 levels primarily due to approximately $0.3 billion of up-front charges and capital expenditure related to the Company's pending separation, without which cash flow would be higher year on year.

For simplicity reasons, this guidance assumes that the spin-off of the Company's North American cereal business takes place on 12/31/2023.

Forward-looking guidance for organic net sales, currency-neutral adjusted operating profit, currency-neutral diluted EPS, and cash flow is included in this press release. Guidance for organic net sales excludes the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions, divestitures, and differences in shipping days. Guidance for operating profit excludes the impact of costs related to restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), and other items that could affect comparability, and foreign currency translation. Guidance for earnings per share excludes the impact of costs related to restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), and other items that could affect comparability, and foreign currency translation. We have provided these non-GAAP measures for future guidance for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures.

4



    We are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of mark-to-market adjustments because these impacts are dependent on future changes in market conditions (interest rates, return on assets, and commodity prices). Similarly, because of volatility in foreign exchange rates and shifts in country mix of our international earnings, we are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of foreign currency translation. 

    As a result, these impacts are not included in the guidance provided. Therefore, we are unable to provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures used in our guidance without unreasonable effort as certain information necessary to calculate such measure on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company.

    See the table below that outlines the projected impact of certain other items that are excluded from non-GAAP guidance for 2023:
Impact of certain items excluded from Non-GAAP guidance: Net Sales Operating Profit Earnings Per Share
Separation costs (pre-tax) $230M-$240M $0.67 - $0.70
Business and portfolio realignment (pre-tax) $20M-$25M $0.06 - $0.07
Income tax impact applicable to adjustments, net** $0.13 - $0.18
Currency-neutral adjusted guidance * ~9-10% ~(1)-(2)%
Organic guidance * ~ 7%
* 2023 full year guidance for net sales, operating profit, and earnings per share are provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company. These items for 2023 include impacts of mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodity contracts, certain equity investments, and certain foreign currency contracts. The Company is providing quantification of known adjustment items where available.

Guidance and goals expressed in this press release are on a currency-neutral basis, and adjusted to exclude restructuring charges, mark-to-market adjustments of pensions (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodity contracts, certain equity investments and certain foreign currency contracts, and other costs impacting comparability. Organic basis also excludes acquisitions, divestitures, and differences in shipping days. Expected net sales, margins, operating profit, and earnings per share are provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company. Please refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section included later in this press release for a further discussion of our use of non-GAAP measures, including quantification of known expected adjustment items. The company will use the term "low single digit" to refer to percent changes of up to 3%, "mid single-digit" to refer to percent changes between 4% and 6%, "high single-digit" to refer to percent changes between 7% up to 10%, and "double-digit" to refer to percent changes of 10% or more.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This filing includes non-GAAP financial measures that we provide to management and investors that exclude certain items that we do not consider part of on-going operations. Items excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are discussed in the "Significant items impacting comparability" section of this filing. Our management team consistently utilizes a combination of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate business results, to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions, including incentive compensation. As a result, we believe the presentation of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with increased transparency into financial measures used by our management team and improves investors’ understanding of our underlying operating performance and in their analysis of ongoing operating trends. All historic non-GAAP financial measures have been reconciled with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

    Non-GAAP financial measures used include currency-neutral and organic net sales, adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted operating profit, adjusted and currency-neutral adjusted diluted EPS, currency-neutral adjusted gross profit, currency-neutral adjusted gross margin, adjusted other income (expense), adjusted effective income tax rate, net debt and cash flow. We determine currency-neutral results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

•Currency-neutral net sales and organic net sales: We adjust the GAAP financial measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency, resulting in currency-neutral net sales. In addition, we exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign currency, resulting in organic net sales. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying net sales performance. By providing these non-GAAP net sales measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of net sales performance for the Company and each of our reportable segments for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives behind net sales growth, pricing realization, and the impact of mix on our business results. These non-GAAP measures are also used to make decisions regarding the future direction of our business, and for resource allocation decisions.
•Adjusted: gross profit, gross margin, operating profit and diluted EPS: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, costs of the planned separation transaction, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodity contracts, certain equity investments and certain foreign currency contracts, a gain on interest rate swaps, and other costs impacting comparability resulting in adjusted. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying profitability. By providing these non-GAAP profitability measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's profitability measures for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve profitability, as well as to evaluate the impacts of inflationary pressures and decisions to invest in new initiatives within each of our segments.
•Currency-neutral adjusted: gross profit, gross margin, operating profit, and diluted EPS: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, costs of the planned separation transaction, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodity contracts, certain equity investments and certain foreign currency contracts, a gain on interest rate swaps, other costs impacting comparability, and foreign currency, resulting in currency-neutral adjusted. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying profitability. By providing these non-GAAP profitability measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's profitability measures for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve profitability, as well as to evaluate the impacts of inflationary pressures and decisions to invest in new initiatives within each of our segments.
7



•Adjusted other income (expense): We adjust the GAAP financial measure to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded) and certain equity investments, and other costs impacting comparability. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our underlying profitability. By providing this non-GAAP measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's other income (expense), excluding the impact of the items noted above, for the periods presented. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives intended to improve profitability.
•Adjusted effective income tax rate: We adjust the GAAP financial measures to exclude the effect of restructuring programs, costs of the planned separation transaction, mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans (service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and other net periodic pension costs are not excluded), commodity contracts, certain equity investments, and certain foreign currency contracts, a gain on interest rate swaps, and other costs impacting comparability. We excluded the items which we believe may obscure trends in our pre-tax income and the related tax effect of those items on our adjusted effective income tax rate, and other impacts to tax expense. By providing this non-GAAP measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of the items noted above, for the periods presented. Management uses this non-GAAP measure to monitor the effectiveness of initiatives in place to optimize our global tax rate.
•Net debt: Defined as the sum of long-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt and notes payable, less cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities. With respect to net debt, cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities are subtracted from the GAAP measure, total debt liabilities, because they could be used to reduce the Company’s debt obligations. Company management and investors use this non-GAAP measure to evaluate changes to the Company's capital structure and credit quality assessment.
•Cash flow: Defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. Cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases once all of the Company’s business needs and obligations are met. Additionally, certain performance-based compensation includes a component of this non-GAAP measure.
    These measures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP reporting measures.

We recognize mark-to-market adjustments for pension and postretirement benefit plans, commodity contracts, and certain foreign currency contracts as incurred. Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur. Mark-to-market gains/losses for certain equity investments are recorded based on observable price changes. Changes between contract and market prices for commodity contracts and certain foreign currency contracts result in gains/losses that are recognized in the quarter they occur.

Foreign currency translation
We evaluate the operating results of our business on a currency-neutral basis. We determine currency-neutral operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current-period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period.
