TreeHouse Foods Reaffirms Preliminary
Second Quarter Net Sales and Earnings
OAK BROOK, Ill., July 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) announced today that preliminary net sales for the second quarter of 2014 are in line with the Companys expectations of approximately $625 million, which represents an increase of over 18% from the same period last year. The anticipated increase is primarily due to acquisitions, which should contribute just over 14% of the increase. In addition, preliminary results indicate a positive volume/mix of over 5% for the quarter and a nearly 1% decline resulting from the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rates. In TreeHouses North American Retail Grocery segment, the Company estimates positive volume /mix of approximately 6%, as increases in beverages, pickles and salad dressings product categories resulted in year over year growth. Total adjusted earnings are expected to be very close to consensus estimates for the quarter. Such updated net sales, volume/mix information and earnings are estimates and actual results may differ.
We are pleased to reaffirm our June 30th comments on the top line sales achievements in the second quarter, said Sam K. Reed, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. We are especially proud of the sales growth in our Retail Grocery channel as this reflects the joint efforts of our sales, marketing and product development teams to bring great product solutions to our grocery customers.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Snacks Parent Corporation and Subsidiaries
St. Paul, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Snacks Parent Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 28, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Snacks Parent Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 28, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Snacks Parent Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business
Snacks Parent Corporation (the Parent) with its subsidiaries (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware, pursuant to Certificate of Incorporation effective November 12, 2010 and restated on May 23, 2013. The Company was formed through the acquisition of 100% of Anns House of Nuts, Inc. and American Importing Company, Inc. The Company is a manufacturer of nuts, trail mixes, and related snack products and operates under the name Flagstone Foods. The Companys products are sold primarily to club stores, mass merchandisers, and other food retailers.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Snacks Holding Corporation, AHON, Inc., Anns House of Nuts, Inc., Amport Guaranty Corporation and American Importing Company, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year
The Companys fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December. The year ended December 28, 2013 contained 52 weeks.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Companys banking arrangements allow the Company to fund outstanding checks when presented to the financial institution for payment by drawing on the revolving credit facility, resulting in bank overdrafts.
The Company maintains accounts with a financial institution in amounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses as a result of this cash concentration.

Trade Receivables and Concentrations of Credit Risk
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amounts less an allowance for trade discounts, cash discounts, sales incentives, returns and doubtful accounts. An allowance of $5.5 million was determined, based on managements evaluation, as of December 28, 2013. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 28, 2013.
Percentages of net sales made to customers with 10 percent or more of the Companys net sales during the year ended December 28, 2013 are as follows:
Percent of 2013 net sales |
December 28, 2013 trade receivables |

Customer D |

Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (determined under the first-in-first-out method using weighted average cost) or market. Write downs are provided for finished goods expected to become nonsaleable due to age and provisions are specifically made for slow moving or obsolete raw ingredients and packaging material. The Company also adjusts the carrying value of its inventories when it believes that the market value is less than the carrying value. These write-downs are measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory, including estimated costs to complete, and estimated selling prices including cost of selling. These charges are recorded as a component of cost of sales. Once inventory is written down, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Assets not yet placed in use are not depreciated.
The useful lives of the property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Building |
34 years | |
Equipment |
2 to 15 years | |
Leasehold improvements |
Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life |

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the valuation of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. To date, management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets exists, and accordingly, no adjustments to the carrying amount or depreciable lives of the Companys long-lived assets have been made.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or when circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that the estimated fair value is more likely than not less than the carrying value, the Company is then required to perform a quantitative impairment test; otherwise no further analysis is required. The Company also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. For fiscal 2013, the Company elected to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis rather than a qualitative analysis.
The quantitative goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process whereby the Company tests for impairment at its single reporting unit level. The Company estimates the fair value using a qualitative assessment of business drivers and various quantitative valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis, which is a Level 3 input as defined below. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make various judgmental assumptions and projections about sales, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates. There were no impairments of goodwill during the year ended December 28, 2013.
The Company has indefinite-lived intangible assets which consist of trade names. These assets are not amortized. The Company makes an annual assessment in the fourth quarter, or more frequently when circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. The Company has adopted ASU 2012-02, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If the Company elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that the estimated fair value is more likely than not less than the carrying value, the Company is then required to perform a quantitative impairment test; otherwise no further analysis is required. The Company also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. For fiscal 2013, the Company elected to perform a quantitative impairment analysis rather than a qualitative analysis. The
11
Snacks Parent Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Company determines recoverability by comparing the carrying value to the fair value estimated using the relief from royalty method and charges the shortfall, if any, to earnings. The relief from royalty method involves discounted cash flow techniques, which require management to make assumptions regarding the sales growth trends and discount rates. These techniques are a Level 3 input as defined below. There were no impairments of trade names during the year ended December 28, 2013.
Intangible Assets with Finite Lives
Intangible assets with finite lives consist primarily of customer relationships and noncompete agreements acquired by the Company. The customer relationships are amortized over approximately 20 years using an accelerated method based on the expected estimated economic benefit obtained by the Company each reporting period. The noncompete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over a life of 1-5 years.
Deferred Finance Costs and Debt Discount
Deferred financing costs and debt discounts consist of costs incurred in relation to securing the Companys line of credit and long-term debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method and such amortization is included in interest expense. Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, are included in total assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Debt discount, net of accumulated amortization, is included in long-term debt, net of current maturities in the consolidated balance sheets. If the Company extinguishes debt prior to its original maturity date, the unamortized balance of the related deferred financing costs and debt discount are written off to interest expense.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed, acceptance by the customer has occurred, and collection is probable. This generally occurs upon shipment of product to the customer or upon delivery of the product to the customer. The Company records its sales net of cash discounts, returns, and other allowances. The Company records shipping and handling charges billed to customers as revenue and records the related shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company in cost of sales.
The Company, on occasion, will make up front payments to its retail customers which are generally used to fund customer displays that are controlled by the customer. These payments are made pursuant to written agreements that stipulate the term of the agreement. The costs for these items are recorded as an asset and are amortized based on a number of factors, including historical experience. These investments are treated as other assets that are amortized over the estimated life of the expected revenue and earnings potential. The amortization is recorded in net sales.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock grants as selling, general and administrative expenses based on the total fair value of the stock-based payment at the date of issuance, amortized over the requisite service period.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
The Company is taxed as a C corporation under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The Company follows guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities |
| Level 2 observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities |
| Level 3 unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets because of the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the amounts due under the line of credit and long-term debt at the end of each fiscal period approximates the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets based on information available to the Company with respect to current interest rates and terms for similar financial instruments. The fair value of redeemable preferred stock, preferred and common stock warrants and restricted stock fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Management Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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 consolidated financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for trade discounts, cash discounts, sales incentives and returns, inventory cost adjustments, lives of property, plant, equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and other impairment and the fair value of redeemable preferred stock, preferred and common stock warrants and restricted stock. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Companys accounting and reporting. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 provides financial statement presentation guidance on whether an unrecognized tax benefit must be presented as either a reduction to a deferred tax asset or separately as a liability. ASU 2013-11 was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

On May 23, 2013 (May 2013 Refinancing), the Company amended its existing credit facilities and Senior Subordinated Notes and issued Series C preferred stock (Note 6). Proceeds of the May 2013 Refinancing were primarily used to (a) repay the debt outstanding under the prior credit facility and a portion of the Senior Subordinated Notes; (b) pay cumulative 14% shareholder dividends on Series A and Series B preferred stock; (c) pay return of capital on all Series B preferred stock and a portion on Series A preferred stock; and (d) pay fees and expenses in connection therewith.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
As part of the May 2013 Refinancing, the Company amended its existing Senior Secured Credit Facility (Prior Senior Credit Facility). The Prior Senior Credit Facility, dated November 12, 2010, consisted of a term loan and a revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was amended and restated (Amended Revolving Facility) to increase the maximum borrowings to $90.0 million. Further amendments to the Amended Revolving Facility increased the maximum borrowings to $120.0 million as of December 28, 2013. One of the revolving credit facility lenders was fully repaid and the repayment was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt; accordingly, a loss was recognized to write-off related unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount. The changes for the remaining lenders were accounted for as debt modifications. Interest on the Amended Revolving Facility is payable monthly and, at the Companys option, is 1) LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin which is 1.75 percent to 2.25 percent depending on the average undrawn availability for the prior quarter or 2) the Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin which is 0.0 percent to 0.5 percent depending on the average undrawn availability for the prior quarter. The Amended Revolving Facility may be used by the Company for working capital and for other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments, as permitted under the Amended Revolving Facility.

Snacks Parent Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 4. Debt and Interest Expense (continued)
The Amended Revolving Facility, which matures on May 23, 2018, is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and is subject to a borrowing base formula in which additional advances of $51.4 million were available at December 28, 2013. Borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facilities were $63.6 million at December 28, 2013. The Companys average effective interest rate for the revolving credit facilities as of December 28, 2013 was 2.7 percent.
During the May 2013 Refinancing, new term notes (Senior Secured Notes) were issued totaling $132.0 million and replaced the term loan in the Prior Senior Credit Facility. This was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt; accordingly, a loss was recognized to write-off related unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount and new debt issuance costs were capitalized. Immediately prior to the May 2013 Refinancing, outstanding debt under the prior term note totaled approximately $15.4 million. Immediately after the close of the May 2013 Refinancing, total outstanding debt under the Senior Secured Notes totaled approximately $132.0 million. Interest on these Senior Secured Notes is payable monthly and, at the Companys option, is 1) the greater of LIBOR Rate or 1.25 plus 5.75 percent or 2) the Index Rate plus 4.5 percent. The interest rate applicable to the term loan as of December 28, 2013 was 7.0 percent. The Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and mature in May 2018.
The Amended Revolving Facility and Senior Secured Notes (collectively the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) provide for customary affirmative and negative covenants, for which the Company must, among other things, not exceed certain levels of capital expenditures and dividends and maintain specified covenant ratios. Beginning on May 23, 2013, the Companys Senior Secured Credit Facilities fixed charge coverage ratio is limited to no less than 1.15 to 1.0 through September 26, 2015, increasing to 1.25 to 1.0 in the quarter ending June 30, 2018; the Total Leverage Ratio covenant declines each quarter from 6.50 to 1.00 through June 28, 2014, ultimately to 4.50 to 1.00 in the quarter ending June 30, 2018. In addition, the Amended Revolving Facility includes a minimum undrawn availability at December 28, 2013 of not less than $4.5 million, plus 5 percent of any increase in the maximum revolving advance amount. There is also an Excess Cash Flow payment requirement associated with the Senior Secured Notes which requires the Company to pay to the debt holders 50% of the excess cash flows, as defined, if the total leverage ratio is greater than 3.25 to 1 and 25% of the excess cash flows if the total leverage ratio is less than 3.25 to 1, of which none was due for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.
Senior Subordinated Notes
On November 12, 2010, the Company entered into a $55.0 million Senior Subordinated Note agreement. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at 13 percent. The Company must pay interest at the rate of 12 percent on the notes on a quarterly basis. The remaining 1 percent interest is added quarterly to the outstanding principal balance of the notes (payment-in-kind interest) and was due at maturity in November 2017. In addition, 123,158 shares of common stock warrants, 14,745 shares of Series A preferred stock warrants, and 6,842 shares of Series B preferred stock warrants were issued in conjunction with the note agreements to the lenders; all of these warrants had an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and a term of 10 years. The Series A and Series B preferred stock warrants were exercised immediately on November 12, 2010. The fair value of these preferred and common stock warrants was determined to be $2.3 million on the date of issuance, and was recorded as a debt discount amortized over the term of the debt using the effective-interest method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 4. Debt and Interest Expense (continued)
During the May 2013 Refinancing, the Company amended the Senior Subordinated Notes. As part of the amendment, the Company repaid $17.6 million of Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding and incurred additional borrowings of $20.0 million. One of the notes was fully repaid and was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt; accordingly, a loss was recognized to write-off unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount prior to this transaction. The changes for the other notes were accounted for as debt modifications. The May 2013 Refinancing did not result in changes to the warrants that were issued at the original issuance and no new warrants were issued related to the additional borrowings. In connection with the extinguishment and modification of the Senior Subordinated Notes due to the refinancing, the Company wrote-off debt discount associated with the November 12, 2010 warrant issuances. The amended Senior Subordinated Notes mature in May 2020. The Senior Subordinated Notes do not impose any covenants incremental to those under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

At December 28, 2013, the Company had approximately $0.6 million of Illinois state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and $2.3 million of North Carolina state income tax credits available to offset future regular taxable income. The Illinois NOL carryforwards expire in varying amounts between 2022 and 2023, and the North Carolina state income tax credits expire in varying amounts between 2015 and 2023. During the year ended December 28, 2013, the Company recorded a $0.6 million credit to additional paid-in capital related to the tax benefit of stock-based compensation.
At December 28, 2013, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $0.4 million for the portion of the North Carolina state income tax credits that management believes may not be realized prior to their expiration.

Note 6. Stockholders Deficit
Common Stock
The Companys certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes 11,820,000 shares of common stock, with a par value $0.0001 per share, of which 11,200,000 shares are classified as voting common stock and 620,000 shares are classified as non-voting common stock. At December 28, 2013, 7,952,500 shares were issued and outstanding and 1,309,476 restricted stock shares were issued and outstanding. The stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when and if authorized by the Board of Directors only after all redeemable preferred stock has been redeemed or converted. Each stockholder of voting common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such stockholder on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote.
Preferred Stock
The Companys certificate of incorporation, as amended in May 2013, authorizes 3,395,000 shares of preferred stock Series A, Series B, and Series C, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Series C preferred shares rank superior to Series A and B preferred shares. Series B preferred shares rank superior to Series A preferred shares. Dividends on each share of preferred stock accrue at the rate of 14 percent per annum of the original issue price, compounded quarterly. Dividends accrue whether or not declared and are cumulative. Dividends on preferred stock must be declared or paid before any dividends, redemptions, distributions or other payments may be made with respect to any other equity securities of the Company. In the event of liquidation or upon a change in control, as defined in the certificate of incorporation, the Series A and Series B preferred stock along with common stockholders participate pro-rata in any remaining available assets of the Company after all required preferred stock payments have been made.

Snacks Parent Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 6. Stockholders Deficit (continued)
Prior to the May 2013 Refinancing, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series A and Series B preferred stockholders were entitled to be paid a liquidation value of $100 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, before any distribution or payment to any other equity securities of the Company. Any remaining liquidation proceeds were to be distributed to stockholders of the Companys common stock. In addition, so long as any preferred stock remains outstanding, including the cumulative compounded dividends, the Company may not redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any junior securities, nor shall the Company pay or declare any dividend to make any distribution upon the junior securities, with the exception of stock repurchased from present or former employees, in accordance with the provisions of any employee, consulting or stock agreements.
All preferred stock is redeemable upon a change in control transaction or upon the event of an initial public offering (IPO), in which case the preferred stock will be redeemed through cash and the issuance of the redemption securities, as described below, to the extent permissible under the provisions of the IPO. If the underwriters of the IPO determine this is not permissible, then the redemption will be through cash to the extent permissible plus the issuance of common stock.
Series A and B preferred shares are redeemable at the original issue price plus accrued and unpaid dividends at 14%, plus the issuance of common stock at the rate of 1.972 common shares for every Series B preferred share and 0.915 common shares for every Series A preferred share redeemed, which would equate to 2,015,402 additional common shares (the redemption securities). The fair value of the redemption securities was determined at the date of issuance to be approximately $3.6 million and was being accreted through the original mandatory redemption date of February 2019, using the effective-interest method.
Prior to the May 2013 Refinancing, the Series A and B preferred stock was mandatorily redeemable in February 2019. Preferred stock accounting treatment, as provided in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, requires that to the extent that redemption is fixed and determinable, the stock must be treated as a liability. Therefore, the Series A and B preferred stock was recorded as a long-term liability through May 2013. In addition, dividends related to the preferred stock prior to the May 2013 refinancing were treated as interest expense.
Proceeds from the May 2013 Refinancing were used, in part, to pay a stockholder distribution of $124.8 million, consisting of all outstanding Series B preferred accrued dividends of $21.2 million and cost basis of $51.1 million for a total of $72.3 million and all Series A preferred accrued dividends of $45.7 million and a portion of the cost basis of $6.8 million for a total of $52.5 million. The transaction also included the issuance of Series C preferred stock.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 6. Stockholders Deficit (continued)
The Series A and B preferred stock were amended and restated during the May 2013 Refinancing to remove the date certain mandatory redemption feature. With this change, the Company reclassified the Series A and B preferred stock from long-term liabilities to mezzanine equity presentation in the consolidated balance sheets. In conjunction with the reclassification, the Company revalued the Series A and B preferred stock, including the redemption securities, to fair value on the date of the refinancing transaction. This was accounted for as an extinguishment of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value at the extinguishment date was $15.2 million. The fair value of the Series A and Series B preferred stock on the date of extinguishment was the full redemption value of the preferred shares payable in cash equal to the original issue price plus the accrued and unpaid dividends plus the fair value of the attached redemption securities. The Company has estimated the preferred shares with 14% payment in kind interest is representative of other similar instruments under similar terms and conditions in the marketplace and therefore believes this is a reasonable proxy to assess the fair value of the preferred shares at the time of the extinguishment. The redemption securities were valued using the probability weighted expected return method (PWERM) whereby the Company first estimates future enterprise values under various exit scenarios. The value of the Company was established by applying multiples to the Companys projected financial metrics at the expected time of a future liquidity event. A discount for lack of marketability (DLOM) of 12% to reflect the increased risk arising from the inability to readily sell the common stock was applied. The Series A preferred original issue price to be paid upon a liquidation after the refinancing transaction was adjusted to $93.83 per share. The Series B preferred stock original issue price to be paid upon a liquidation after the refinancing transaction was adjusted to $0.00 per share. Therefore, the remaining redemption value of the Series B preferred stock is equal to the fair value of the redemption securities.
Series C preferred shares were issued in conjunction with the May 2013 Refinancing. Series C preferred shares are redeemable at the original issue price plus accrued and unpaid dividends, plus the right to exercise Series C warrants. Series C preferred stockholders are entitled to purchase Series C warrants which consists of Series A and B preferred shares and common shares, in the same ratio as their respective holdings of the Series C preferred shares. The issuance of Series C preferred stock was recorded net of the $0.5 million fair value of the related warrants issued. Series C preferred shares have a liquidation preference which is the greater than the sum of: (a) original issue price and accrued but unpaid dividends as previously described, or (b) the product of a factor ranging from 1.3x to 1.51x, depending on the elapse of time through May 23, 2016, times the series C purchase price of $17.03 per share, less cash dividends and amounts received from the exercise of attached warrants (Guaranteed Return). The Series C liquidation preference related to the Guaranteed Return shall be inapplicable and of no force or effect after May 23, 2016.
The holder of each voting preferred share of Series A and B shall have the right to one vote for each Series A and B redemption security each stockholder would be entitled to receive if a redemption were effected on the date of the applicable vote on matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of Series C preferred shares shall have the right to one vote for each share on matters to be voted on by the stockholders.
The majority stockholder of the Companys voting preferred and common stock controls the vote of stockholders and board of directors through appointed representatives. As redemption of the preferred stock through a change in control is deemed outside of the Companys control, all shares of redeemable preferred stock have been presented outside of permanent equity on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2013.

Note 7. Preferred and Common Stock Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for its preferred and common stock warrants as liabilities at fair value upon issuance because the warrants are contingently redeemable upon a change in control or IPO which could obligate the Company to transfer assets to the holder at a future date under certain circumstances. The warrants are re-measured to fair value at each consolidated balance sheet date, and changes in fair value are recognized in other income (expense). The common stock warrant liability as of December 28, 2013 consisted of the fair value of 127,828 common stock warrants outstanding. The Series C preferred stock warrant entitles the holders to purchase 17,480 shares of Series A preferred stock, 8,112 shares of Series B preferred stock, and 148,443 shares of common stock for an aggregate exercise price of $2.6 million. The warrants are exercisable at any time and are automatically exercised upon a change in control or IPO. The Series C preferred stock warrant liability as of December 28, 2013 consisted of the combined fair value of the underlying shares.
Management has determined that the fair value of the preferred and common stock warrant liabilities fall within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the preferred and common stock warrant liabilities were estimated based on models using the PWERM method to estimate future enterprise value under various exit scenarios in 2013. The 2013 value of the Company was established by applying an average range of multiples of comparable companies in the public market to the Companys projected financial metrics at the expected time of a future liquidity event, discounted at 14%.
The significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the warrants for the year ended December 28, 2013 are as follows:
December 28, 2013 |
||||
Expected volatility |
25% 40 | % | ||
Expected term (in years) |

Note 8. Stock-based Compensation
The Company awards shares of restricted, non-voting common stock to certain members of management, a portion of which vest based on a four year service term and a portion of which vest based on the occurrence of a change in control. The June 2013 time-based restricted stock grants were valued using the PWERM method whereby the Company first estimates future enterprise values under various exit scenarios. The value of the Company was established by applying an average range of multiples of comparable companies in the public market to the Companys projected financial metrics at the expected time of a future liquidity event discounted at 13%. A DLOM of 12% to reflect the increased risk arising from the inability to readily sell the restricted stock was applied to the June 2013 grants.

Total compensation expense related to time-based restricted stock was approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 28, 2013.
As of December 28, 2013, the Company had approximately $0.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to time-based restricted stock grants that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.3 years. The performance-based restricted stock vests based on the controlling stockholder of the Company achieving certain return on investment criteria and upon the consummation of a change in control. Achievement of the vesting criteria is not probable; therefore no compensation expense has been recorded for the performance-based grants.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 provides financial statement presentation guidance on whether an unrecognized tax benefit must be presented as either a reduction to a deferred tax asset or separately as a liability. ASU 2013-11 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 for non-public companies. The Company does not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle, an entity needs to identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a

performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for non-public companies. The standard is to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. ASU 2014-12 was issued to address diverse accounting treatments currently in practice. ASU 2014-12 provides guidance when the terms of an award provide that the performance target could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period. The employee would be eligible to vest in the award regardless of whether the employee is rendering service on the date the performance target is achieved. The performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period must now be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 for all companies. The standard can be applied either prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Note 5. Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 was 33.5% and (20.6)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirteen week period ended March 30, 2013 was primarily impacted by non-deductible interest on the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $0.8 million and $0.4 million as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. The Companys policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company had accrued $0.1 million for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and state income taxing authorities for 2010 through 2013.

Note 7. Preferred and Common Stock Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for its preferred and common stock warrants as liabilities at fair value upon issuance because the warrants are contingently redeemable upon a change in control or initial public offering (IPO) which could obligate the Company to transfer assets to the holder at a future date under certain circumstances. The warrants are re-measured to fair value at each consolidated balance sheet date, and changes in fair value are recognized in other expense. The common stock warrant liability as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 consisted of the fair value of 127,828 common stock warrants outstanding. The Series C preferred stock warrant entitles the holders to purchase 17,480 shares of Series A preferred stock, 8,112 shares of Series B preferred stock, and 148,443 shares of common stock for an aggregate exercise price of $2.6 million. The warrants are exercisable at any time and are automatically exercised upon a change in control or IPO. The Series C preferred stock warrant liability as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 consisted of the combined fair value of the underlying shares.
Management has determined that the fair value of the preferred and common stock warrant liabilities fall within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a reconciliation of the preferred and common stock warrant liabilities activity for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013:

Total compensation expense related to time-based restricted stock was approximately nil for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively.
As of March 29, 2014, the Company had approximately $0.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to time-based restricted stock grants that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.1 years. The performance-based restricted stock vests based on the controlling stockholder of the Company achieving certain return on investment criteria and upon the consummation of a change in control. Achievement of the vesting criteria is not probable; therefore no compensation expense has been recorded for the performance-based grants.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to routine lawsuits as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation. Management monitors the status of such events and accrues an estimated amount when an obligation becomes probable and estimable. Any amount recorded is based on the status of current activity and the advice from legal counsel. While unfavorable outcomes could have adverse effects on the Companys business, the Company does not believe that any pending or threatened proceedings would materially adversely impact the Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Legal costs associated with such matters are expensed as incurred.
Note 10. Related Party Transactions
An affiliate of Gryphon Partners III, L.P. (Gryphon), the Companys principal stockholder, charges the Company for certain services, such as advising the Company on aspects of its capital structure, including appropriate levels of debt and equity, structuring capital-raising transactions, and advising the Company on strategic alternatives. These charges were approximately $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013.
Certain lenders of the Companys debt are also stockholders. A lender of a portion of the Companys bank term note payable holds Series C preferred stock and associated warrants. Interest expense to this lender was $0.3 million and $0.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively. Certain lenders of the senior subordinated notes payable hold Series A and Series B preferred stock and common stock warrants. Interest expense to these lenders was $1.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013. Another lender of the senior subordinated notes payable holds Series C preferred stock and associated warrants. Interest expense to this lender was $0.3 million and $0.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively.
Note 11. Subsequent Events
On June 27, 2014, the Company signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by TreeHouse Foods, Inc. for $860 million. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2014.
Exhibit 99.4
TreeHouse Foods, Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
On June 27, 2014, we entered into a definitive Merger Agreement with with Snack Parent Corporation (Flagstone Foods or Flagsone), pursuant to which a subsidiary of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (TreeHouse or the Company) will merge with and into Flagstone and Flagstone will continue as the surviving corporation and as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TreeHouse. The purchase price is $860 million in cash, payable at closing, and subject to adjustments for working capital (the Flagstone Acquisition). Consummation of the Flagstone Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Flagstone Acquisition, including related financing. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical balance sheets of TreeHouse and Flagstone, giving effect to the Flagstone Acquisition and related financing as if they had occurred on March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements combine the historical income statements of TreeHouse and Flagstone, giving effect to the Flagstone Acquisition and related financing as if they had occurred on January 1, 2013, with respect to the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to matters that are (i) directly attributable to the Flagstone Acquisition and the related financing, including this offering, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes and:
| the audited historical financial statements of TreeHouse, for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in TreeHouses Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2014; |
| the audited historical financial statements of Flagstone, for the year ended December 28, 2013, included in this Current Report on Form 8-K; |
| the unaudited historical financial statements of TreeHouse, as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014, included in TreeHouses Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 8, 2014; and |
| the unaudited historical financial statements of Flagstone, as of and for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014, included in this Current Report on Form 8-K. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the purchase method of accounting, with TreeHouse treated as the acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will differ from our final acquisition accounting for a number of reasons, including the fact that our estimates of fair value are preliminary and subject to change when our formal valuation and other studies are finalized. The differences that will occur between the preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only. It is not necessarily indicative of what our financial position or results of operations actually would have been had we completed the Flagstone Acquisition at the dates indicated, nor does it purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement does not reflect any revenue or cost savings from synergies that may be achieved with respect to the combined companies, or the impact of unusual items and transaction expenses, directly related to the Flagstone Acquisition.

Notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
(In thousands)
Note 1 Basis of presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared using the historical balance sheets of TreeHouse as of March 31, 2014, and of Flagstone as of March 29, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income was prepared using the historical statements of income of TreeHouse for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014, and of Flagstone for the year ended December 28, 2013 and for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2014.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was prepared using the purchase method of accounting. Based on the terms of the Merger Agreement, TreeHouse is treated as the acquirer of Flagstone. Accordingly, we have adjusted the historical consolidated financial information to give effect to the impact of the consideration issued in connection with the Flagstone Acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, based on managements preliminary estimate of their respective values. Definitive allocations will be performed and finalized based upon certain valuation and other studies that will be performed by TreeHouse with the services of outside valuation specialists after the closing. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation adjustments and related amortization reflected in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are preliminary, have been made solely for the purpose of preparing these statements and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value after the closing of the Flagstone Acquisition. For example, if the value of the finite-lived intangible assets increased by 10%, annual pro forma operating income would decrease by approximately $2,179.
Note 2 Preliminary purchase price allocation
The purchase price for the Flagstone Acquisition is approximately $860 million, payable at closing. The purchase price of $860 million has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as follows:

For the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been measured at their estimated fair values as of March 31, 2014. A final determination of fair values will be based on the actual assets and liabilities that will exist on the date of the closing of the Flagstone Acquisition and on our formal valuation and other studies when they are finalized. Accordingly, the fair values of the assets and liabilities included in the table above are preliminary and subject to change pending additional information that may become known. An increase in the fair value of inventory, property, plant and equipment, or any identifiable intangible assets will reduce the amount of goodwill in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and may result in increased depreciation, and or amortization expense.
We have allocated $326,800 to intangible assets, and assigned an estimated economic life of 15 years. The determination of the preliminary fair value was primarily based upon historical intangible asset valuations in comparison to the purchase price for prior acquisitions. This value will be adjusted upon completion of the valuation analysis. The determination of useful life was also based upon historical experience. The estimated annual amortization expense for these acquired intangible assets is approximately $21,787, using straight line amortization, and has been included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Inventories reflect an adjustment of $11,830 to record the inventory at its estimated fair value. This amount is recorded in the March 31, 2014 unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The increased inventory will temporarily increase our cost of sales after closing and therefore it is considered non-recurring and is not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Property, plant and equipment reflect an adjustment of $6,217 to record the property, plant and equipment at its estimated fair market value. Total additional depreciation expense on the revalued property, plant and equipment is estimated to be approximately $770 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and $191 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
A preliminary deferred tax adjustment of $105,822 has been recognized in accordance with accounting for income taxes. The amount primarily relates to the tax effect of the acquired intangible assets of $326,800 and the tax effect on the difference between values assigned and the estimated tax basis of assets and liabilities acquired.
Note 3 Pro forma adjustments
The pro forma adjustments give effect to the Flagstone Acquisition under the purchase method of accounting, borrowings under the TreeHouse Credit Agreement, the repayment of Flagstones existing indebtedness, the proposed offering of $325,000 (net of underwriting fee of approximately $13,000) in shares of TreeHouse common stock, and the payment of fees and expenses relating to these transactions. The table below summarizes the gross pro forma adjustments by line item and references the notes that provide further detail on each adjustment.

Note 4 Elimination of historical balances
These adjustments reflect the elimination of the Flagstones identifiable intangible assets, debt and equity as of March 31, 2014, for the purpose of presenting a pro forma balance sheet assuming the Flagstone Acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2014. Also eliminated are Flagstones historical interest expense, amortization expense, loss on extinguishment of redeemable preferred stock, change in fair value of preferred and common stock warrants, transaction and loan related costs and non-capitalized financing fees for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2014, where applicable.
Note 5 Debt financing
These adjustments display the expected debt financing required to fund the Flagstone Acquisition and related transaction costs. These adjustments are contingent upon the closing of the Flagstone Acquisition and therefore may not occur in the event the Flagstone Acquisition is not consummated. For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, we anticipate that we will complete a debt financing at the time the Flagstone Acquisition closes. Under the terms of our Credit Agreement, we expect to increase our credit facility by utilizing the accordion feature and structuring additional borrowings of $200,000 as a new term loan (Term Loan A). We also expect to undertake a borrowing under our credit facility to fund the remaining balance of the purchase price (taking into account the proposed equity offering), which is expected
to be approximately $348,000. We also expect to use our credit facility to fund our acquisition costs, which we expect to be approximately $12,000, of which includes $10,600 in other transaction fees that will be expensed, $1,000 of equity issuance costs and $400 in financing fees associated with the Term Loan A which will be deferred and amortized over five years. Total expected additional borrowings under our Credit Agreement related to the Flagstone Acquisition are expected to be $560,000 ($360,000 under the revolving credit facility and $200,000 as a Term Loan A). The interest rate on the term loan is expected to be the same as the existing credit facility. For pro forma purposes, we used an interest rate of 2.25% for both the Term Loan A and borrowings under the credit facility.
Note 6 Equity financing
We intend to issue approximately $325,000 in common stock in a public offering (net of underwriting fees of approximately $13,000) to fund a portion of the purchase price. Shares to be issued of 4,063 were calculated using an estimated price of $80 per share. If the price of TreeHouses common stock increases or decreases by $1 per share, the number of shares required to be issued would decrease by 51 shares or increase by 51 shares, respectively. We expect to incur additional costs in connection with the issuance of common stock of approximately $1,000. These costs have been recorded as additional borrowings under our credit facility and as a reduction to additional paid in capital on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.
Note 7 Statement of income adjustments to reflect financing
The adjustment reflects additional interest incurred in connection with the expected $200,000 Term Loan A and borrowings of $360,000 under our credit facility. The additional interest totals $12,600 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and $3,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Total expected interest for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 is $61,984 and $14,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The adjustment also includes the amortization of debt issuance costs of $400 being amortized over five years. Total expected amortization for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 is $80 and $20 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The actual rates of interest can change from those that are assumed in Note 5. If our interest rate on our credit facility and Term Loan A were to increase by 1% from 2.25%, total pro forma interest could increase by approximately $5,600 per year (considering the equity offering).
Note 8 Non-recurring acquisition expenses
We expect to incur additional transaction costs, including financial and legal advisory fees of approximately $10,600 through the closing of the Flagstone Acquisition. The total of these costs has been recorded as additional borrowings under our credit facility and a reduction to retained earnings of $10,600 on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. These costs are excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014, as they are considered non-recurring.
Note 9 Taxes
For purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, we used a statutory rate of 38.5%. This rate is an estimate and does not take into account any possible future tax events that may occur for the combined company.
