Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(currency in millions, except per share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the indicated periods. The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 28, 2013. The results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance related to disclosures about offsetting (netting) of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. The guidance requires entities to disclose gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions that are offset in the statement of financial position, and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The scope includes financial instruments and derivative instruments. In January 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance to limit the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement. The disclosures are required for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Disclosures required under the guidance were provided for all comparative periods presented. The company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption resulted in additional disclosures, but did not have an impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 12.

In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments will allow an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of certain obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount is fixed. Such obligations may include debt arrangements, legal settlements, and other contractual arrangements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations within scope that existed as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the new guidance.

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The company will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance which permits an entity to designate the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, also referred to as the overnight index swap rate, as a benchmark interest rate in a hedge accounting relationship. In addition, the guidance removes the restriction on using different benchmark interest rates for similar hedges. The guidance was effective in July 2013. The company will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, UTBs will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and should be applied prospectively to all UTBs that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the new guidance.

3. Acquisitions

On August 8, 2013, the company completed the acquisition of Kelsen Group A/S (Kelsen). The purchase price was $331. Kelsen is a producer of quality baked snacks that are sold in 85 countries around the world. Its primary brands include Kjeldsens

8

and RoyalDansk. Kelsen has established distribution networks in markets in Asia, the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, South America and Africa.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets was recorded as $136 of goodwill. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was primarily attributable to future growth opportunities and any intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is included in the Global Baking and Snacking segment.

The acquisition of Kelsen contributed $92 to Net sales and resulted in an increase in Net earnings of $11 for the three-month period ended January 26, 2014. The acquisition also contributed $144 to Net sales and resulted in an increase in Net earnings of $11 from August 8, 2013 to January 26, 2014.

On June 13, 2013, the company completed the acquisition of Plum, PBC (formerly Plum Inc.) for $249.

The acquisition of Plum contributed $17 to Net sales and resulted in Net earnings of $1 for the three-month period ended January 26, 2014. The acquisition also contributed $32 to Net sales and resulted in a Net Loss of $12 for the six-month period ended January 26, 2014. The Net loss for the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 included $11 of after-tax costs incurred from a voluntary product recall (see Note 18 for additional details).

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities include the following:

	Kelsen			Plum
Cash	$	2		$	1
Accounts receivable	20			15
Inventories	50			20
Other current assets	2			1
Plant assets	51			2
Goodwill	136			128
Other intangible assets	173			133
Short-term debt	(32		)	—
Accounts payable	(11		)	(12		)
Accrued liabilities	(11		)	(5		)
Long-term debt	(4		)	—
Deferred income taxes	(45		)	(34		)
Total of assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	331		$	249

The purchase price allocations are preliminary and are subject to the finalization of tax balances for both Kelsen and Plum.

The identifiable intangible assets of Kelsen consist of $147 in non-amortizable trademarks, $4 in amortizable trademarks to be amortized over 10 years, and $22 in customer relationships to be amortized over 10 to 15 years. The identifiable intangible assets of Plum consist of $115 in non-amortizable trademarks and $18 in customer relationships to be amortized over 15 years.

On August 6, 2012, the company completed the acquisition of BF Bolthouse Holdco LLC (Bolthouse Farms) from a fund managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, a private equity firm, for $1,550 in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. On August 6, 2012, the preliminary purchase price adjustments resulted in an increase in the purchase price of $20. In the third quarter of 2013, the purchase price adjustments were finalized and reduced to $11. The company incurred transaction costs of $10 ($7 after tax) in the three-month period ended October 28, 2012 related to this acquisition. The costs were recorded in Other expenses/(income).

9

The following unaudited summary information is presented on a consolidated pro forma basis as if the Kelsen acquisition had occurred on July 30, 2012 and the Plum and Bolthouse acquisitions had occurred on August 1, 2011:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	January 26, 2014		January 27, 2013		January 26, 2014		January 27, 2013
Net sales	$	2,281	$	2,273	$	4,450	$	4,572
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company	$	235	$	173	$	417	$	404
Earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company	$	.74	$	.55	$	1.32	$	1.28

The pro forma amounts include additional interest expense on the debt issued to finance the purchases, amortization and depreciation expense based on the estimated fair value and useful lives of intangible assets, plant assets, and related tax effects. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the combined results had the Kelsen acquisition been completed on July 30, 2012, and the Plum and Bolthouse acquisitions been completed on August 1, 2011, nor are they indicative of future combined results.

4. Discontinued Operations

On October 28, 2013, the company completed the sale of its European simple meals business to Soppa Investments S.à r.l., an affiliate of CVC Capital Partners. The transaction was completed pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated September 30, 2013, for approximately €400, or $548, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The company recognized a pre-tax gain of $147 ($90 after tax or $.28 per share) in the three-month period ended January 26, 2014 and a pre-tax gain of $141 ($72 after tax or $.23 per share) in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014. The final gain on the sale is subject to the resolution of the post-closing adjustments. The European business included the Erasco and Heisse Tasse soups in Germany; Liebig and Royco soups in France; Devos Lemmens mayonnaise and cold sauces and Royco soups in Belgium; and Blå Band and Isomitta soups and sauces in Sweden. The company used the proceeds from the sale to pay taxes on the sale, to reduce debt and for other general corporate purposes.

The company has reflected the results of the European simple meals business as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented. The business was historically included in the International Simple Meals and Beverages segment.

7. Business and Geographic Segment Information

The company manages operations through 10 operating segments based on product type and geographic location and has aggregated the operating segments into the appropriate reportable segment based on similar economic characteristics; products; production processes; types or classes of customers; distribution methods; and regulatory environment. The reportable segments are discussed in greater detail below.

The U.S. Simple Meals segment includes the following products: Campbell’s condensed and ready-to-serve soups; Swanson broth and stocks, Prego pasta sauces; Pace Mexican sauces; Campbell’s canned gravies, pasta and beans; Swanson canned poultry; and as of June 13, 2013, Plum Organics food and snacks.

The Global Baking and Snacking segment aggregates the following operating segments: Pepperidge Farm cookies, crackers, bakery and frozen products in U.S. retail; Arnott’s biscuits in Australia and Asia Pacific; and as of August 8, 2013, Kelsencookies globally.

The International Simple Meals and Beverages segment aggregates the following operating segments: the retail business in Canada and the simple meals and beverages business in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and China. See also Note 4 for information on the sale of the simple meals business in Europe. This business was historically included in this segment. The results of operations of this business have been reflected as discontinued operations for the periods presented. Prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The U.S. Beverages segment represents the U.S. retail beverages business, including the following products: V8 juices and beverages; and Campbell’s tomato juice.

Bolthouse and Foodservice comprises the Bolthouse Farms carrot products operating segment, including fresh carrots, juice concentrate and fiber; the Bolthouse Farms super-premium refrigerated beverages and refrigerated salad dressings operating segment; and the North America Foodservice operating segment. The North America Foodservice operating segment represents the distribution of products such as soup, specialty entrées, beverage products, other prepared foods and Pepperidge Farm products through various food service channels in the U.S. and Canada. None of these operating segments meets the criteria for aggregation nor the thresholds for separate disclosure.

The company evaluates segment performance before interest, taxes and costs associated with restructuring activities. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity hedging activities are excluded from segment operating earnings and are recorded in Corporate expenses as these open positions represent hedges of future purchases. Upon closing of the contracts, the realized gain or loss is transferred to segment operating earnings, which allows the segments to reflect the economic effects of the hedge without exposure to quarterly volatility of unrealized gains and losses. Certain manufacturing, warehousing and distribution activities of the segments are integrated in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. As a result, asset information by segment is not discretely maintained for internal reporting or used in evaluating performance.

2013 Initiatives

In 2013, the company implemented the following initiatives to improve supply chain efficiency, expand access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities, and reduce costs:

• The company implemented initiatives to improve its U.S. supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its U.S. thermal plant network, including closing its thermal plant in Sacramento, California, which produced soups, sauces and beverages. The closure resulted in the elimination of approximately 700 full-time positions and was completed in phases. Most of the positions were eliminated in 2013 and operations ceased in August 2013. The company shifted the majority of Sacramento's soup, sauce and beverage production to its thermal plants in Maxton, North Carolina; Napoleon, Ohio; and Paris, Texas. The company also closed its spice plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey, which resulted in the elimination of 27 positions. The company consolidated spice production at its Milwaukee, Wisconsin, plant in 2013.

• In Mexico, the company entered into commercial arrangements with third-party providers to expand access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities. The third-party providers will produce and distribute the company's beverages, soups, broths and sauces throughout the Mexican market. As a result of these agreements, the company closed its plant in Villagrán, Mexico, and eliminated approximately 260 positions in the first quarter of 2014.

• The company will improve its Pepperidge Farm bakery supply chain cost structure by closing its plant in Aiken, South Carolina, in 2014. The company will shift the majority of Aiken's bread production to its bakery plant in Lakeland, Florida. Approximately 110 positions will be eliminated as a result of the plant closure.

• The company streamlined its salaried workforce in U.S. Simple Meals, North America Foodservice and U.S. Beverages by approximately 70 positions. This action was substantially completed in August 2013.

• In Australia, the company is investing in a new system to automate packing operations at its biscuit plant in Virginia. This investment continued through the second quarter of 2014 and will result in the elimination of approximately 190 positions, which is expected to occur in 2014. The company expects to continue investing in the new system through 2015. Further, the company improved asset utilization in the U.S. by shifting production of ready-to-serve soups from Paris, Texas, to other facilities in 2012. In addition, the manufacturing facility in Marshall, Michigan, was closed in 2011, and manufacturing of Campbell’s Soup at Hand microwavable products was consolidated at the Maxton, North Carolina, plant in 2012.

9. Earnings per Share

For the periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, the calculations of basic EPS and EPS assuming dilution vary in that the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution include the incremental effect of stock options and other share-based payment awards, except when such effect would be antidilutive. There were no antidilutive stock options for the three- and six-month periods ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013.

10. Noncontrolling Interests

The company owns a 60% controlling interest in a joint venture formed with Swire Pacific Limited to support the development of the company’s soup and broth business in China. The joint venture began operations on January 31, 2011. In August 2013, the company and joint venture partner contributed additional cash of $7 and $5, respectively. The noncontrolling interest’s share in the net loss was included in Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. In the three-month period ended January 26, 2014, the company and its joint venture partner agreed to restructure manufacturing and streamline operations for its soup and broth business in China. The after-tax restructuring charge attributable to the noncontrolling interest was $5. See also Note 8.

Additional contributions to U.S. pension plans are not expected this year. Contributions to non-U.S. pension plans are expected to be approximately $4 during the remainder of the year.

12. Financial Instruments

The principal market risks to which the company is exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. In addition, the company is exposed to equity price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. In order to manage these exposures, the company follows established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative contracts such as swaps, options, forwards and commodity futures. These derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and does not use leveraged instruments. The company’s derivative programs include both instruments that qualify and that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

18

Concentration of Credit Risk

The company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations.  To mitigate counterparty credit risk, the company only enters into contracts with carefully selected, leading, credit-worthy financial institutions, and distributes contracts among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. The company does not have credit-risk-related contingent features in its derivative instruments as of January 26, 2014. During 2013, the company's largest customer accounted for approximately 19% of consolidated net sales. The company closely monitors credit risk associated with counterparties and customers.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its international operations, including non-functional currency intercompany debt and net investments in subsidiaries. The company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. Principal currencies hedged include the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, euro, Hong Kong dollar, Swedish krona, New Zealand dollar, British pound and Japanese yen. The company utilizes foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts, as well as cross-currency swaps, to hedge these exposures. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. The company hedges portions of its forecasted foreign currency transaction exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts for periods typically up to 18 months. To hedge currency exposures related to intercompany debt, foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts, as well as cross-currency swap contracts, are entered into for periods consistent with the underlying debt. As of January 26, 2014, cross-currency swap contracts mature between 1 and 30 months. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $56 at January 26, 2014 and $129 at July 28, 2013. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Earnings on the same line item and the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $423 and $895 at January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps in order to maintain its variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines. Receive fixed rate/pay variable rate interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair-value hedges. The notional amount of outstanding fair-value interest rate swaps totaled $200 at July 28, 2013. These swaps matured in October 2013. The company manages its exposure to interest rate volatility on future debt issuances by entering into forward starting interest rate swaps to lock in the rate on the interest payments related to the forecasted debt issuances. Pay fixed rate/receive variable rate forward starting interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash-flow hedges. The notional amount of outstanding forward starting interest rate swaps totaled $250 at January 26, 2014 and at July 28, 2013.

Commodity Price Risk

The company principally uses a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. The company also enters into commodity futures, options and swap contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of diesel fuel, soybean oil, wheat, aluminum, natural gas, cocoa and corn, which impact the cost of raw materials. Commodity futures, options, and swap contracts are either accounted for as cash-flow hedges or are not designated as accounting hedges. The company hedges a portion of commodity requirements for periods typically up to 18 months. There were no commodity contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges as of January 26, 2014 or July 28, 2013. The notional amount of commodity contracts not designated as accounting hedges was $95 at January 26, 2014 and $105 at July 28, 2013.

Equity Price Risk

The company enters into swap contracts which hedge a portion of exposures relating to certain deferred compensation obligations linked to the total return of the company’s capital stock, the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index, and the total return of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index. Under these contracts, the company pays variable interest rates and receives from the counterparty either the total return on company capital stock; the total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which is expected to approximate the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index; or the total return of the iShares MSCI EAFE Index, which is expected to approximate the total return of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index. These contracts were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and are entered into for periods typically not exceeding 12 months. The notional amounts of the contracts as of January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013 were $49 and $50, respectively.

The company has elected not to offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if the company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013 would be adjusted as detailed in the following table:

	January 26, 2014							July 28, 2013

The company has elected not to offset fair value amounts recognized for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments and cash margin accounts executed with the same counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. The company is required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of open positions. At January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013, cash margin account balances of $7 are included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following tables show the effect of the company’s derivative instruments designated as cash-flow hedges for the three- and six-month periods ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013, in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI) and the Consolidated Statements of Earnings:

13. Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are categorized based on the following fair value hierarchy:

• Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs, which are valued based on the company's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. When available, the company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure the fair value and classifies such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, the company bases fair value upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Included in the fair value of derivative instruments is an adjustment for credit and nonperformance risk.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the company is also required to measure certain items at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

In the three-month period ended January 26, 2014, the company recognized an impairment charge of $11 on plant assets associated with the initiative to restructure manufacturing and streamline operations for its soup and broth business in China. See also Note 8. The carrying value was reduced to estimated fair value based on expected proceeds. The carrying value at January 26, 2014 was not material.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, excluding the current portion of long-term debt, approximate fair value. Cash equivalents of $139 at January 26, 2014 and $4 at July 28, 2013 represent fair value as these highly liquid investments have an original maturity of three months or less. Fair value of cash equivalents is based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt in Short-term borrowings, was $2,972 at January 26, 2014 and $3,299 at July 28, 2013. The carrying value was $2,956 at January 26, 2014 and $3,244 at July 28, 2013. The fair value of long-term debt is principally estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates.

14. Share Repurchases

In June 2011, the Board authorized the purchase of up to $1,000 of company stock. This program has no expiration date. The company suspended purchases under this program in July 2012. Approximately $750 remained available under this program as of January 26, 2014. The company also repurchases shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. During the six-month period ended January 26, 2014, the company repurchased approximately 2 million shares at a cost of $76. During the six-month period ended January 27, 2013, the company repurchased 2 million shares at a cost of $63.

15. Stock-based Compensation

The company provides compensation benefits by issuing unrestricted stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units (including time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, total shareholder return (TSR) performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units). In 2014, the company issued time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, TSR performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units. In previous years, the company also issued stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from continuing operations was $15 and $25 for the three-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. The pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from discontinued operations was $1 for the three-month period ended January 27, 2013. Tax-related benefits of $6 and $10 were also recognized for the three-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from continuing operations was $36 and $49 for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. The pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from discontinued operations was $1 and $2 for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. Tax-related benefits of $14 and $19 were also recognized for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $7 and $50 for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively, and is reflected in cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table summarizes stock option activity as of January 26, 2014:

	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	(Options in thousands)				(In years)
Outstanding at July 28, 2013	1,101		$	27.25
Granted	—		$	—
Exercised	(246	)	$	26.72
Terminated	—		$	—
Outstanding at January 26, 2014	855		$	27.41	0.9	$	13
Exercisable at January 26, 2014	855		$	27.41	0.9	$	13

24

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, was $4 and $18, respectively. As of January 2009, compensation related to stock options was fully expensed. The company measured the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following table summarizes time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units as of January 26, 2014:

	Units		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
	(Restricted stock units in thousands)
Nonvested at July 28, 2013	4,208		$	34.05
Granted	1,644		$	39.76
Vested	(2,539	)	$	33.19
Forfeited	(217	)	$	36.73
Nonvested at January 26, 2014	3,096		$	37.60

The fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, and strategic performance restricted stock units is determined based on the quoted price of the company’s stock at the date of grant. Time-lapse restricted stock units are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. EPS performance restricted stock units are expensed on a graded-vesting basis, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. There were approximately 251 thousand EPS performance target grants outstanding at January 26, 2014 with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $37.49. Strategic performance restricted stock units are expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period. Awards of the strategic performance restricted stock units will be earned based upon the achievement of two key metrics, net sales and EPS growth, compared to strategic plan objectives during a two-year period for grants in 2013 and during a three-year period for grants in 2014. There were approximately 948 thousand strategic performance target grants outstanding at January 26, 2014 with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $37.88. The actual number of EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date could range from 0% to 100% and 0% to 200%, respectively, of the initial grant, depending on actual performance achieved. Expense is estimated based on the number of awards expected to vest.

As of January 26, 2014, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units was $61, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.9 years. The fair value of restricted stock units vested during the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, was $104 and $39, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during six-month period ended January 27, 2013 was $35.04.

The following table summarizes TSR performance restricted stock units as of January 26, 2014:

	Units		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
	(Restricted stock units in thousands)
Nonvested at July 28, 2013	1,458		$	41.88
Granted	458		$	36.26
Vested	—		$	—
Forfeited	(981	)	$	42.87
Nonvested at January 26, 2014	935		$	38.13

25

The company estimated the fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation were as follows:

	2014	2013
Risk-free interest rate	0.60%	0.30%
Expected dividend yield	2.98%	3.26%
Expected volatility	15.76%	15.07%
Expected term	3 years	3 years

Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. As of January 26, 2014, total remaining unearned compensation related to TSR performance restricted stock units was $22, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 2.2 years. In the first quarter of 2014, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 0% of the initial grants based upon the company’s TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 26, 2013. The grant-date fair value of the TSR performance restricted stock units granted during 2013 was $39.76.

The excess tax benefits on the exercise of stock options and vested restricted stock presented as cash flows from financing activities for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013 were $10 and $5, respectively.

16. Inventories

18. Voluntary Product Recall

On November 8, 2013, the company voluntarily recalled a range of Plum products packaged in resealable pouches after discovering a manufacturing defect that may cause spoilage in some pouches. In the three-month period ended October 27, 2013, the company recognized costs of $16 ($11 after tax or $.03 per share) associated with the recall, including estimates for customer returns and consumer rebates, costs associated with returned product and the disposal and write-off of inventory.

Item 2.

CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Description of the Company

Campbell Soup Company is a manufacturer and marketer of high-quality, branded convenience food products.

On August 8, 2013, the company completed the acquisition of Kelsen for $331 million. Kelsen is a producer of quality baked snacks that are sold in 85 countries around the world. Its primary brands include Kjeldsens and RoyalDansk. Kelsen has established distribution networks in markets in Asia, the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, South America and Africa.

On October 28, 2013, the company completed the sale of its European simple meals business to Soppa Investments S.à r.l., an affiliate of CVC Capital Partners. The transaction was completed pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated September 30, 2013, for approximately €400 million, or $548 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The company used the proceeds from the sale to pay taxes on the sale, reduce debt and for other general corporate purposes. The company has reflected the results of the European simple meals business as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented. The European simple meals business was historically included in the International Simple Meals and Beverages segment. The assets and liabilities of the European simple meals business have been reflected in assets and liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 28, 2013. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The company reports the results of operations in the following reportable segments: U.S. Simple Meals; Global Baking and Snacking; International Simple Meals and Beverages; U.S. Beverages; and Bolthouse and Foodservice.

Executive Summary

This Executive Summary provides significant highlights from the discussion and analysis that follows.

• Net sales increased6% in the quarter ended January 26, 2014 to $2.281 billion. The Kelsen and Plum acquisitions contributed 5 points of growth.

• Gross profit, as a percent of sales, increased to 35.7% in the quarter ended January 26, 2014 from 35.2% in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to restructuring-related costs recorded in the prior-year quarter, productivity improvements and higher selling prices, partly offset by cost inflation and supply chain costs, as well as unfavorable mix.

• Administrative expenses decreased13% in the quarter ended January 26, 2014 to $142 million from $163 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline was primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs, lower pension expenses and cost savings from restructuring initiatives, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions.

• Earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter ended January 26, 2014 were $.74, compared to $.54 in the year-ago quarter. The current and year-ago quarter included expenses of $.02 and $.09 per share, respectively, from items impacting comparability as discussed below.

Earnings from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company

The following items impacted the comparability of earnings and earnings per share:

• In the quarter ended January 26, 2014, the company and its joint venture partner Swire Pacific Limited agreed to restructure manufacturing and streamline operations for its soup and broth business in China. The company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $13 million ($5 million after tax or $.02 per share) related to this initiative;

• In the quarter ended October 27, 2013, the company streamlined its salaried workforce in North America and in the Asia Pacific region. The company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $20 million ($13 million after tax or $.04 per share) associated with the initiative;

• On October 28, 2013, the company announced that it completed the sale of its simple meals business in Europe. In the quarter ended October 27, 2013, the company recorded an unrealized loss of $9 million ($6 million after tax or $.02 per share) on foreign exchange forward contracts used to hedge the proceeds from the sale of the European simple meals business. In addition, the company recorded tax expense of $7 million ($.02 per share) associated with the sale of the business;

• In 2013, the company implemented several initiatives to improve its U.S. supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its U.S. thermal plant network; expand access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities in Mexico; improve its Pepperidge Farm bakery supply chain cost structure; and reduce overhead costs in North America. In the six-

27

month period ended January 26, 2014, the company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $1 million and restructuring-related costs of $2 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate impact of $2 million after tax or $.01 per share). In the quarter ended January 27, 2013, the company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $8 million and restructuring-related costs of $40 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate impact of $30 million after tax or $.09 per share). In the six-month period ended January 27, 2013, the company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $30 million and restructuring-related costs of $61 million in Cost of products sold (aggregate impact of $57 million after tax or $.18 per share); and

• In the quarter ended October 28, 2012, the company incurred transaction costs of $10 million ($7 million after tax or $.02 per share) associated with the acquisition of Bolthouse Farms, which closed on August 6, 2012. The costs were included in Other expenses.

The items impacting comparability of earnings from continuing operations are summarized below:

	Three Months Ended
	January 26, 2014						January 27, 2013
(Millions, except per share amounts)	Earnings Impact			EPS Impact			Earnings Impact			EPS Impact

Acquisition transaction costs	—			—			(7		)	(.02		)
Impact of items on earnings from continuing operations	$	(33	)	$	(.10	)	$	(64	)	$	(.20	)

Earnings from continuing operations were $235 million in the quarter ended January 26, 2014, compared to $171 million in the year-ago quarter. After adjusting for items impacting comparability, earnings increased primarily due to an increase in sales, lower administrative expenses, lower marketing expenses and a lower effective tax rate, partly offset by a lower gross margin percentage. The acquisitions of Kelsen and Plum contributed to the growth.

Earnings from continuing operations were $416 million in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014, compared to $403 million in the year-ago period. After adjusting for items impacting comparability, earnings decreased primarily due to the decline in gross margin percentage, including the impact of the Plum recall, and an increase in marketing expenses, partly offset by an increase in sales and lower administrative expenses.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests

The company owns a 60% controlling interest in a joint venture formed with Swire Pacific Limited to support the development of the company’s soup and broth business in China. The joint venture began operations on January 31, 2011. The noncontrolling interest’s share in the net loss was included in Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. In the quarter ended January 26, 2014, the company and its joint venture partner agreed to restructure manufacturing and streamline operations for its soup and broth business in China. The after-tax restructuring charge attributable to the noncontrolling interest was $5 million.

28

The company also owns a 70% controlling interest in a Malaysian food products manufacturing company. The noncontrolling interest’s share in the net earnings was included in Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and was not material in the current or year-ago period.

⁽¹⁾  Represents revenue reductions from trade promotion and consumer coupon redemption programs.

⁽²⁾  In 2014, revenue in Mexico is presented on a net accounting basis in connection with a new business model under which the cost of certain services provided by the company's suppliers is netted against revenue.

In U.S. Simple Meals, sales increased7%. U.S. Soup sales, which significantly benefited from movements in customer inventory levels, increased 5% compared to the year-ago quarter. The U.S. Soup sales performance was better than retail consumer takeaway, based on IRI Total U.S. Multi-Outlet data. The later date for the Thanksgiving holiday in calendar 2013, as well as holiday performance and the timing of promotions, had a positive impact on second-quarter soup sales.

Further details of U.S. Soup include:

• Sales of Campbell’s condensed soups increased 4%, driven by double-digit gains in cooking varieties. Sales of eating varieties were comparable to the year-ago quarter. Higher net pricing was partly offset by lower volumes.

• Sales of ready-to-serve soups were comparable to the year-ago quarter, as gains in Campbell’s Chunky and Campbell’s Homestyle canned soups were offset by declines in microwavable soup varieties.

• Broth sales increased 21%, driven by double-digit volume gains in aseptic and canned broth.

U.S. Sauces sales increased 16%. The acquisition of Plum contributed $17 million to sales, or 8 points of growth. Excluding the acquisition, sales increased 8% due to gains in Prego pasta sauces, which benefited from the launch of Alfredo sauces, the introduction in 2014 of Campbell’s Slow Cooker sauces, and growth in Campbell’s Skillet Sauces.

In Global Baking and Snacking, sales increased14%. The acquisition of Kelsen contributed $92 million to sales, or 16 points of growth. Demand for Kelsen products is highest in the second quarter due to holiday gift giving. Pepperidge Farm sales increased driven by higher selling prices and volume gains, partially offset by increased promotional spending. Sales of fresh bakery products increased driven by volume gains in bread and rolls, as well as stuffing, partially due to the later date of the Thanksgiving holiday in calendar 2013. In cookies and crackers, sales increased due to gains in Goldfish snack crackers and Pepperidge Farm cookies,

29

partly offset by declines in adult cracker varieties. In Arnott's, sales decreased primarily due to the negative impact of currency and sales declines in Australia, primarily in chocolate and savory varieties, partially offset by strong gains in Indonesia. The company increased trade spending to remain competitive in Australia.

In International Simple Meals and Beverages, sales decreased9%. Sales in Canada decreased due to the negative impact of currency. Excluding the impact of currency, sales gains in snacks and soup were offset by declines in beverages. In Latin America, sales declined due to lower selling prices and the impact of presenting revenue on a net basis. In the Asia Pacific region, sales decreased primarily due to the negative impact of currency, partly offset by gains in Malaysia and Japan.

In U.S. Beverages, sales decreased3%,primarily due to the initial impact of the transition to a new distribution network in single-serve immediate consumption channels.

In Bolthouse and Foodservice, sales increased2%. Bolthouse sales increased 6%, primarily driven by double-digit gains in premium refrigerated beverages and salad dressings, and growth in carrots. In North America Foodservice, sales declined principally in soup.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, defined as Net sales less Cost of products sold, increased by $52 million in the quarter ended January 26, 2014. As a percent of sales, gross profit increased from 35.2% in the year-ago quarter to 35.7% in the current quarter. The 0.5-percentage-point increase in gross margin percentage in the quarter ended January 26, 2014 was due to the following factors:

	Margin Impact
Reduction in restructuring-related costs	1.9%
Productivity improvements	1.6
Higher selling prices	0.9
Cost inflation, supply chain costs and other factors	(2.7)
Mix	(0.6)
Higher level of promotional spending	(0.5)
Impact of acquisitions	(0.1)
	0.5%

Marketing and Selling Expenses

Marketing and selling expenses as a percent of sales were 11.7% in the quarter ended January 26, 2014 and 12.7% in the year-ago quarter. Marketing and selling expenses were $268 million in the current quarter, compared to $275 million in the year-ago quarter, a decrease of 3%. The decrease was primarily driven by lower marketing overhead costs and other marketing costs(approximately 4 percentage points); lower advertising and consumer promotion expenses (approximately 3 percentage points); lower selling expenses (approximately 2 percentage points); and the impact of currency (approximately 1 percentage point), partially offset by the impact of the acquisitions (approximately 7 percentage points).

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 6.2% in the quarter ended January 26, 2014 and 7.5% in the year-ago quarter. Administrative expenses decreased by 13% in the current quarter from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs (approximately 10 percentage points); lower pension and other benefit expenses (approximately 4 percentage points); cost savings from restructuring initiatives (approximately 3 percentage points); and the impact of currency (approximately 1 percentage point), partially offset by the impact of acquisitions (approximately 4 percentage points) and higher general administrative costs and inflation (approximately 1 percentage point).

__________________________________________

⁽¹⁾  See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on restructuring charges.

Earnings from U.S. Simple Meals increased12%. The increase was primarily due to productivity improvements, higher selling prices and lower marketing expenses, partly offset by cost inflation and supply chain costs.

Earnings from Global Baking and Snacking increased19%. Operating earnings increased primarily due to the Kelsen acquisition, higher selling prices and productivity improvements, partly offset by cost inflation and higher promotional spending. The operating earnings increase reflected Kelsen's operating results and growth in Pepperidge Farm, partly offset by lower earnings in Arnott’s. Demand for Kelsen products is highest in the second quarter due to holiday gift giving.

Earnings from International Simple Meals and Beverages increased15%. The increase in operating earnings was primarily due to higher volumes, lower selling and administrative expenses and productivity improvements, partially offset by lower selling prices and the unfavorable impact of currency.

Earnings from U.S. Beverages decreased16%, primarily driven by cost inflation and supply chain costs, partially offset by productivity improvements and lower administrative expenses.

Earnings from Bolthouse and Foodservice increased20%. The increase was primarily due to reduced administrative expenses and productivity improvements, partly offset by cost inflation.

Unallocated corporate expenses included restructuring-related costs of $40 million in the quarter ended January 27, 2013. The remaining decline in the current quarter was primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $29 million in the quarter ended January 26, 2014 from $33 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting lower interest rates.

Taxes on Earnings

The effective tax rate was 31.3% in the quarter ended January 26, 2014, compared to 31.7% in the year-ago quarter. The current-year quarter included a tax benefit of $3 million on $13 million of restructuring charges. The prior-year quarter included a tax benefit of $18 million on $48 million of restructuring charges and restructuring-related costs. The remaining decrease in the effective rate in 2014 was primarily due to lower taxes on foreign earnings in the current quarter.

⁽³⁾  Sum of the individual amounts does not add due to rounding.

In U.S. Simple Meals, sales increased1%. U.S. Soup sales decreased 1%. Further details of U.S. Soup include:

• Sales of Campbell’s condensed soups decreased 1%, with declines in eating varieties partially offset by gains in cooking varieties.

• Sales of ready-to-serve soups decreased 5%, primarily due to declines in canned, microwaveable and aseptic soup varieties.

• Broth sales increased 10%, primarily driven by double-digit volume gains in aseptic broth as well as growth in canned broth.

U.S. Sauces sales increased 10% primarily due to the acquisition of Plum, which contributed $32 million to sales, or 8 points of growth. Excluding the acquisition, sales increased 2%, primarily due to gains in Prego pasta sauces, which benefited from the launch of Alfredo sauces, the introduction in 2014 of Campbell's Slow Cooker sauces, and gains in Campbell’s Skillet Sauces, partially offset by declines in Pace Mexican sauces and Campbell's canned pasta and gravy products.

In Global Baking and Snacking, sales increased10%. The acquisition of Kelsen contributed $144 million to sales, or 13 points of growth. Pepperidge Farm sales increased due to growth in fresh bakery, and cookie and cracker products, partially offset by declines in frozen products. In fresh bakery, sales increased due to gains in bread and rolls. Sales of Pepperidge Farm crackers increased due to gains in Goldfish snack crackers, partly offset by declines in adult cracker varieties. In Arnott's, sales decreased primarily due to the negative impact of currency and sales declines in Australia, partially offset by strong gains in Indonesia. The company also increased trade spending to remain competitive in Australia.

In International Simple Meals and Beverages, sales decreased11%. Sales in Canada decreased due to the negative impact of currency and declines in beverages and soup. In Latin America, sales declined due to lower selling prices and the impact of presenting revenue on a net basis. In the Asia Pacific region, sales decreased primarily due to the negative impact of currency and declines in Australia, primarily in soup, partially offset by gains in Malaysia.

32

In U.S. Beverages, sales decreased6% primarily due to declines in V8 V-Fusion beverages.Sales of V8 vegetable juice and V8 Splash beverages also declined. U.S. Beverages continues to be under pressure from category weakness in shelf-stable juices, as well as from competition from specialty beverages and packaged fresh juices.

In Bolthouse and Foodservice, sales increased2% , primarily due to the additional week of Bolthouse sales in 2014. Bolthouse was acquired one week into the six-month period a year ago. Excluding the additional week of Bolthouse in 2014, sales were comparable to the prior-year period as sales gains in Bolthouse, due to double-digit growth in premium refrigerated beverages and salad dressings, were offset by declines in North America Foodservice, reflecting the loss of a major restaurant customer.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, defined as Net sales less Cost of products sold, increased by $8 million in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014. As a percent of sales, gross profit decreased from 36.2% in the year-ago period to 35.8% in the current-year period. The 0.4-percentage-point decrease in gross margin percentage in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 was due to the following factors:

	Margin Impact
Cost inflation, supply chain costs and other factors	(2.3)%
Impact of acquisitions (including Plum recall)	(0.8)
Higher level of promotional spending	(0.8)

Marketing and selling expenses were $529 million in the current period, compared to $511 million in the year-ago period, an increase of 4%. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisitions (approximately 5 percentage points); and higher advertising and consumer promotion expenses (approximately 1 percentage point) to support new product launches, primarily in U.S. Simple Meals, and to support the Bolthouse Farms brand, partially offset by the impact of currency (approximately 1 percentage point) and lower marketing overhead expenses (approximately 1 percentage point).

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 6.5% in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 and 7.3% in the year-ago period. Administrative expenses decreased by 9% in the current period from the year-ago period, primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs (approximately 7 percentage points); lower pension and other benefit expenses (approximately 4 percentage points); cost savings from restructuring initiatives (approximately 2 percentage points); and the impact of currency (approximately 1 percentage point), partially offset by the impact of acquisitions (approximately 3 percentage points) and higher general administrative costs and inflation (approximately 2 percentage points).

__________________________________________

⁽¹⁾ See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on restructuring charges.

Earnings from U.S. Simple Meals decreased9%. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes, expenses related to the Plum product recall, increased promotional spending and higher advertising expenses, partially offset by higher selling prices. Productivity savings offset cost inflation and supply chain costs.

Earnings from Global Baking and Snacking increased4%. Operating earnings increased primarily due to higher selling prices, productivity improvements and the Kelsen acquisition, partially offset by cost inflation and higher promotional spending. The operating earnings increase reflected Kelsen's operating results and growth in Pepperidge Farm, partly offset by lower earnings in Arnott’s and the unfavorable impact of currency.

Earnings from International Simple Meals and Beverages decreased12%. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to lower selling prices and the unfavorable impact of currency, partly offset by lower administrative expenses.

Earnings from U.S. Beverages decreased18%, primarily due to lower sales volumes, cost inflation and supply chain costs, partly offset by productivity improvements and lower advertising expenses.

Earnings from Bolthouse and Foodservice increased2%. The increase was primarily due to reduced administrative expenses and earnings associated with the additional week of Bolthouse sales in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014, partly offset by a lower gross margin percentage and increased advertising for the Bolthouse Farms brand.

Unallocated corporate expenses included restructuring-related costs of $2 million in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 and $61 million in the year-ago period. The current period included a $9 million loss on foreign exchange forward contracts related to the sale of the European simple meals business. The prior-year period included $10 million of transaction costs associated with the Bolthouse Farms acquisition. The remaining decline in the current period was primarily due to lower incentive compensation costs and gains on foreign exchange transactions on open commodity hedges.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $60 million in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 from $69 million in the year-ago period, reflecting lower interest rates, partially offset by higher levels of debt to fund the Kelsen and Plum acquisitions.

Taxes on Earnings

The effective tax rate was 32.8% in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014, compared to 31.5% in the year-ago period. The current-year period included a tax benefit of $11 million on $36 million of restructuring charges and restructuring-related costs. The prior-year period included a tax benefit of $34 million on $91 million of restructuring charges and restructuring-related costs. In 2014, the company recognized tax expense of $7 million associated with the sale of the European simple meals business. After adjusting for items impacting comparability, the remaining decrease in the effective rate in 2014 was primarily due to lower taxes on foreign earnings in 2014, partially offset by a favorable settlement of a state tax matter in 2013.

Restructuring Charges

2014 Initiatives

In the second quarter of 2014, the company and its joint venture partner Swire Pacific Limited agreed to restructure manufacturing and streamline operations for its soup and broth business in China. As a result, certain assets were impaired, and approximately 110 positions will be eliminated. The company recorded a restructuring charge of $13 million ($5 million after tax or $.02 per share in earnings from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company) related to this initiative. The charge consisted of $1 million of employee severance and benefit costs, $11 million related to asset impairment and $1 million of other exit costs. The company does not expect additional charges. Annual ongoing pre-tax savings are expected to be $6 million. These charges are associated with the International Simple Meals and Beverages segment. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges as segment performance is evaluated excluding such charges.

In the first quarter of 2014, the company streamlined its salaried workforce in North America and in the Asia Pacific region. Approximately 200 positions were eliminated. The actions were substantially completed in October 2013. The company recorded a restructuring charge of $20 million ($13 million after tax or $.04 per share) associated with this initiative for severance and benefit costs. The company does not expect additional charges. The company expects the total pre-tax costs of this initiative to represent cash expenditures, the majority of which will be spent in 2014. The cash outflows related to this initiative are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the company's liquidity.

The initiative is expected to generate annual ongoing pre-tax savings of approximately $40 million beginning in 2015, with 2014 savings of approximately $26 million.

The total pre-tax costs of $20 million associated with each segment are as follows: U.S. Simple Meals - $5 million; Global Baking and Snacking - $9 million; International Simple Meals and Beverages - $3 million; U.S. Beverages - $1 million; Bolthouse and Foodservice - $1 million; and Corporate - $1 million. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges as segment performance is evaluated excluding such charges.

2013 Initiatives

In 2013, the company implemented the following initiatives to improve supply chain efficiency, expand access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities, and reduce costs:

• The company implemented initiatives to improve its U.S. supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its U.S. thermal plant network, including closing its thermal plant in Sacramento, California, which produced soups, sauces and beverages. The closure resulted in the elimination of approximately 700 full-time positions and was completed in phases. Most of the positions were eliminated in 2013 and operations ceased in August 2013. The company shifted the majority of Sacramento's soup, sauce and beverage production to its thermal plants in Maxton, North Carolina; Napoleon, Ohio; and Paris, Texas. The company also closed its spice plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey, which resulted in the elimination of 27 positions. The company consolidated spice production at its Milwaukee, Wisconsin, plant in 2013.

• In Mexico, the company entered into commercial arrangements with third-party providers to expand access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities. The third-party providers will produce and distribute the company's beverages, soups, broths and sauces throughout the Mexican market. As a result of these agreements, the company closed its plant in Villagrán, Mexico, and eliminated approximately 260 positions in the first quarter of 2014.

• The company will improve its Pepperidge Farm bakery supply chain cost structure by closing its plant in Aiken, South Carolina, in 2014. The company will shift the majority of Aiken's bread production to its bakery plant in Lakeland, Florida. Approximately 110 positions will be eliminated as a result of the plant closure.

• The company streamlined its salaried workforce in U.S. Simple Meals, North America Foodservice and U.S. Beverages by approximately 70 positions. This action was substantially completed in August 2013.

In the six-month period ended January 26, 2014, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $1 million related to the 2013 initiatives. In addition, approximately $2 million of costs related to the 2013 initiatives were recorded in Cost of products sold, representing other exit costs. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and related costs recorded in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 was $2 million, or $.01 per share. In 2013, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $51 million. In addition, approximately $91 million of costs related to these initiatives were recorded in 2013 in Cost of products sold, representing accelerated depreciation and other exit costs. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and related costs recorded in 2013 was $90 million, or $.28 per share. Of the amounts recorded in 2013, $30 million of restructuring charges were recorded in the six-month period ended January 27, 2013, and approximately $61 million of costs related to these initiatives were recorded in Cost of products sold, representing accelerated depreciation and other exit costs. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and related costs recorded in the six-month period ended January 27, 2013 was $57 million, or $.18 per share.

35

A summary of the pre-tax costs and remaining costs associated with the initiatives is as follows:

(Millions)	Total Program		Recognized as of January 26, 2014			Remaining Costs to be Recognized
Severance pay and benefits	$	35	$	(35	)	$	—
Accelerated depreciation/asset impairment	99		(99		)	—
Other exit costs	14		(11		)	3
Total	$	148	$	(145	)	$	3

Of the aggregate $148 million of pre-tax costs, the company expects approximately $46 million will be cash expenditures. In addition, the company expects to invest approximately $31 million in capital expenditures, primarily to relocate and refurbish a beverage filling and packaging line, and relocate bread production, of which approximately $23 million has been invested as of January 26, 2014. The outstanding aspects of the 2013 initiatives are expected to be completed in 2014. The remaining cash outflows related to these restructuring initiatives are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the company’s liquidity.

The initiatives included in this program, once fully implemented, are expected to generate annual ongoing pre-tax savings of approximately $40 million beginning in 2015, with 2014 savings of approximately $30 million.

The total pre-tax costs of $148 million associated with segments are expected to be as follows: U.S. Simple Meals - $90 million; Global Baking and Snacking - $16 million; International Simple Meals and Beverages - $9 million; U.S. Beverages - $31 million; and Bolthouse and Foodservice - $2 million. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges as segment performance is evaluated excluding such charges.

2011 Initiatives

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the company announced a series of initiatives to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce overhead costs across the organization to help fund plans to drive the growth of the business. The company also announced its exit from the Russian market. Details of the 2011 initiatives include:

• In Australia, the company is investing in a new system to automate packing operations at its biscuit plant in Virginia. This investment continued through the second quarter of 2014 and will result in the elimination of approximately 190 positions, which is expected to occur in 2014. The company expects to continue investing in the new system through 2015. Further, the company improved asset utilization in the U.S. by shifting production of ready-to-serve soups from Paris, Texas, to other facilities in 2012. In addition, the manufacturing facility in Marshall, Michigan, was closed in 2011, and manufacturing of Campbell’s Soup at Hand microwavable products was consolidated at the Maxton, North Carolina, plant in 2012.

• The company streamlined its salaried workforce by approximately 510 positions around the world, including approximately 130 positions at its world headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. These actions were substantially completed in 2011. As part of this action, the company outsourced a larger portion of its U.S. retail merchandising activities to its retail sales agent, Acosta Sales and Marketing, and eliminated approximately 190 positions.

• In connection with exiting the Russian market, the company eliminated approximately 50 positions. The exit process commenced in 2011 and was substantially completed in 2012.

In 2012, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $10 million ($6 million after tax or $.02 per share) related to the 2011 initiatives. Of the amount recorded in 2012, $3 million related to discontinued operations. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $63 million ($41 million after tax or $.12 per share). Of the amount recorded in 2011, $3 million related to discontinued operations. A summary of the pre-tax charges recognized is as follows:

(Millions)	Total Program
Severance pay and benefits	$	41
Asset impairment/accelerated depreciation	23
Other exit costs	9
Total	$	73

As of January 26, 2014, the 2011 initiatives were substantially completed. Of the aggregate $73 million of pre-tax costs, approximately $50 million represented cash expenditures, the majority of which was spent in 2012. In addition, the company expects to invest approximately $45 million in capital expenditures in connection with the actions, of which approximately $35

36

million has been invested as of January 26, 2014. The remaining cash outflows related to these programs are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the company’s liquidity.

The initiatives included in this program are expected to generate annual pre-tax cash savings of approximately $60 million beginning in 2012 and increasing to approximately $70 million in 2014.

The total pre-tax costs of $73 million associated with each segment were as follows: U.S. Simple Meals - $32 million; Global Baking and Snacking - $14 million; International Simple Meals and Beverages - $17 million; U.S. Beverages - $3 million; Bolthouse and Foodservice - $1 million; and Corporate - $6 million. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges as segment performance is evaluated excluding such charges.

See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Discontinued Operations

On October 28, 2013, the company completed the sale of its European simple meals business to Soppa Investments S.à r.l., an affiliate of CVC Capital Partners. The transaction was completed pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated September 30, 2013, for approximately €400 million, or $548 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The company recognized a pre-tax gain of $147 million ($90 million after tax or $.28 per share) in the three-month period ended January 26, 2014 and a pre-tax gain of $141 million ($72 million after tax or $.23 per share) in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014. The final gain on the sale is subject to the resolution of the post-closing adjustments.

The company has reflected the results of the European simple meals business as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented. The business was historically included in the International Simple Meals and Beverages segment.

Results of discontinued operations were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(Millions)	January 26, 2014		January 27, 2013		January 26, 2014		January 27, 2013

See also Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The company expects that foreseeable liquidity and capital resource requirements, including cash outflows to repay debt, pay dividends and fund pension plan contributions, will be met through anticipated cash flows from operations; long-term borrowings under its shelf registration statement; short-term borrowings, including commercial paper; and cash and cash equivalents. The company believes that its sources of financing will be adequate to meet its future liquidity and capital resource requirements.

The company generated cash from operations of $363 million in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014, compared to $499 million in the year-ago period. The decrease was primarily due to taxes paid on the divestiture of the European simple meals business and lower cash earnings in fiscal 2014.

Capital expenditures were $127 million in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 compared to $110 million in the year-ago period. To date, capital expenditures in 2014 included capacity expansion at Pepperidge Farm (approximately $19 million), the refurbishment of a beverage filling and packaging line for the U.S. Beverages business (approximately $8 million), the ongoing initiative to simplify the soup-making process in North America (also known as the soup common platform initiative) (approximately $6 million), continued enhancement of the company's corporate headquarters (approximately $5 million), the packing automation and capacity expansion projects at one of the company’s Australian biscuit plants (approximately $3 million), an advanced planning system in North America (approximately $3 million), and a soup capacity expansion project for the North America Foodservice business (approximately $2 million). Capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $350 million in 2014.

37

Dividend payments were $195 million in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 and $366 million in the six-month period ended January 27, 2013. The decrease in dividend payments was due to the acceleration into December 2012 of dividend payments that would have otherwise occurred in January 2013 and April 2013.

The company repurchased approximately 2 million shares at a cost of $76 million during the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 and approximately 2 million shares at a cost of $63 million during the six-month period ended January 27, 2013. In June 2011, the company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $1 billion of company stock. Approximately $750 million remained available to repurchase shares under the company's June 2011 repurchase program as of January 26, 2014. This program has no expiration date. The company suspended purchases under this program in July 2012. In addition to the June 2011 publicly announced share repurchase program, the company also purchased shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. See “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for more information.

At January 26, 2014, the company had $1.958 billion of short-term borrowings due within one year, of which $1.184 billion was comprised of commercial paper borrowings, and $42 million of standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the company. In December 2013, the company renewed its committed revolving credit facilities, combining the previous two facilities totaling $2.0 billion into a new five-year facility totaling $2.2 billion. The new facility matures in December 2018. This facility remained unused at January 26, 2014, except for $3 million of standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the company. This revolving credit facility supports the company’s commercial paper programs and other general corporate purposes. The company may also increase the commitment under the credit facility up to an additional $500 million, upon the agreement of either existing lenders or of additional banks not currently parties to the existing credit agreements.

On October 28, 2013, the company completed the sale of its European simple meals business to Soppa Investments S.à r.l., an affiliate of CVC Capital Partners. The transaction was completed pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated September 30, 2013, for approximately €400 million, or $548 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The company used the proceeds from the sale to pay taxes on the sale, reduce debt and for other general corporate purposes.

In November 2011, the company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registered an indeterminate amount of debt securities. Under the registration statement, the company may issue debt securities, depending on market conditions.

The company is in compliance with the covenants contained in its revolving credit facilities and debt securities.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The consolidated financial statements of the company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. The significant accounting policies of the company are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The significant accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The impact of new accounting standards is discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no other changes in the company’s accounting policies in the current period that had a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on recent accounting pronouncements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains “forward-looking” statements that reflect the company’s current expectations regarding future results of operations, economic performance, financial condition and achievements of the company. The company tries, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will” and similar expressions. One can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements reflect the company’s current plans and expectations and are based on information currently available to it. They rely on a number of assumptions regarding future events and estimates which could be inaccurate and which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.

The company wishes to caution the reader that the following important factors and those important factors described in other Securities and Exchange Commission filings of the company, or in the company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, could affect the company’s actual results and could cause such results to vary materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the company:

38

• the impact of strong competitive response to the company’s efforts to leverage its brand power with product innovation, promotional programs and new advertising;

• the impact of changes in consumer demand for the company’s products;

• the risks in the marketplace associated with trade and consumer acceptance of product improvements, shelving initiatives, new products, and pricing and promotional strategies;

• the company’s ability to achieve sales and earnings guidance, which is based on assumptions about sales volume, product mix, the development and success of new products, the impact of marketing, promotional and pricing actions, product costs and currency;

• the company’s ability to realize projected cost savings and benefits, including restructuring initiatives;

• the company’s ability to successfully manage changes to its business processes, including selling, distribution, manufacturing and information management systems;

• the practices and increased significance of certain of the company’s key customers;

• the impact of new or changing inventory management practices by the company’s customers;

• the impact of fluctuations in the supply of and inflation in energy, raw and packaging materials cost;

• the impact of completing and integrating acquisitions, divestitures and other portfolio changes;

• the uncertainties of litigation described from time to time in the company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings;

• the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, tax rates, interest rates, debt and equity markets, inflation rates, economic conditions and other external factors; and

• the impact of unforeseen business disruptions in one or more of the company’s markets due to political instability, civil disobedience, armed hostilities, natural disasters or other calamities.

This discussion of uncertainties is by no means exhaustive but is designed to highlight important factors that may impact the company’s outlook. The company disclaims any obligation or intent to update forward-looking statements made by the company in order to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they are made.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For information regarding the company’s exposure to certain market risk, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the company’s portfolio of financial instruments or market risk exposures from the 2013 year-end.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions

On August 8, 2013, the company completed the acquisition of Kelsen Group A/S (Kelsen). The purchase price was $331. Kelsen is a producer of quality baked snacks that are sold in 85 countries around the world. Its primary brands include Kjeldsens and RoyalDansk. Kelsen has established distribution networks in markets in Asia, the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, South America and Africa.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets was recorded as $136 of goodwill. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was primarily attributable to future growth opportunities and any intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is included in the Global Baking and Snacking segment.

The acquisition of Kelsen contributed $92 to Net sales and resulted in an increase in Net earnings of $11 for the three-month period ended January 26, 2014. The acquisition also contributed $144 to Net sales and resulted in an increase in Net earnings of $11 from August 8, 2013 to January 26, 2014.

On June 13, 2013, the company completed the acquisition of Plum, PBC (formerly Plum Inc.) for $249.

The acquisition of Plum contributed $17 to Net sales and resulted in Net earnings of $1 for the three-month period ended January 26, 2014. The acquisition also contributed $32 to Net sales and resulted in a Net Loss of $12 for the six-month period ended January 26, 2014. The Net loss for the six-month period ended January 26, 2014 included $11 of after-tax costs incurred from a voluntary product recall (see Note 18 for additional details).

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities include the following:

	Kelsen			Plum
Cash	$	2		$	1
Accounts receivable	20			15
Inventories	50			20
Other current assets	2			1
Plant assets	51			2
Goodwill	136			128
Other intangible assets	173			133
Short-term debt	(32		)	—
Accounts payable	(11		)	(12		)
Accrued liabilities	(11		)	(5		)
Long-term debt	(4		)	—
Deferred income taxes	(45		)	(34		)
Total of assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	331		$	249

The purchase price allocations are preliminary and are subject to the finalization of tax balances for both Kelsen and Plum.

The identifiable intangible assets of Kelsen consist of $147 in non-amortizable trademarks, $4 in amortizable trademarks to be amortized over 10 years, and $22 in customer relationships to be amortized over 10 to 15 years. The identifiable intangible assets of Plum consist of $115 in non-amortizable trademarks and $18 in customer relationships to be amortized over 15 years.

On August 6, 2012, the company completed the acquisition of BF Bolthouse Holdco LLC (Bolthouse Farms) from a fund managed by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, a private equity firm, for $1,550 in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. On August 6, 2012, the preliminary purchase price adjustments resulted in an increase in the purchase price of $20. In the third quarter of 2013, the purchase price adjustments were finalized and reduced to $11. The company incurred transaction costs of $10 ($7 after tax) in the three-month period ended October 28, 2012 related to this acquisition. The costs were recorded in Other expenses/(income).

The following unaudited summary information is presented on a consolidated pro forma basis as if the Kelsen acquisition had occurred on July 30, 2012 and the Plum and Bolthouse acquisitions had occurred on August 1, 2011:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	January 26, 2014		January 27, 2013		January 26, 2014		January 27, 2013
Net sales	$	2,281	$	2,273	$	4,450	$	4,572
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company	$	235	$	173	$	417	$	404
Earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company	$	.74	$	.55	$	1.32	$	1.28

The pro forma amounts include additional interest expense on the debt issued to finance the purchases, amortization and depreciation expense based on the estimated fair value and useful lives of intangible assets, plant assets, and related tax effects. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the combined results had the Kelsen acquisition been completed on July 30, 2012, and the Plum and Bolthouse acquisitions been completed on August 1, 2011, nor are they indicative of future combined results.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance related to disclosures about offsetting (netting) of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. The guidance requires entities to disclose gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions that are offset in the statement of financial position, and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The scope includes financial instruments and derivative instruments. In January 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance to limit the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement. The disclosures are required for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Disclosures required under the guidance were provided for all comparative periods presented. The company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption resulted in additional disclosures, but did not have an impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 12.

In July 2012, the FASB issued revised guidance intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments will allow an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of certain obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount is fixed. Such obligations may include debt arrangements, legal settlements, and other contractual arrangements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations within scope that existed as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the new guidance.

In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The company will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance which permits an entity to designate the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate, also referred to as the overnight index swap rate, as a benchmark interest rate in a hedge accounting relationship. In addition, the guidance removes the restriction on using different benchmark interest rates for similar hedges. The guidance was effective in July 2013. The company will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, UTBs will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and should be applied prospectively to all UTBs that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The company is currently evaluating the new guidance.

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

The principal market risks to which the company is exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. In addition, the company is exposed to equity price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. In order to manage these exposures, the company follows established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative contracts such as swaps, options, forwards and commodity futures. These derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and does not use leveraged instruments. The company’s derivative programs include both instruments that qualify and that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations.  To mitigate counterparty credit risk, the company only enters into contracts with carefully selected, leading, credit-worthy financial institutions, and distributes contracts among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. The company does not have credit-risk-related contingent features in its derivative instruments as of January 26, 2014. During 2013, the company's largest customer accounted for approximately 19% of consolidated net sales. The company closely monitors credit risk associated with counterparties and customers.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its international operations, including non-functional currency intercompany debt and net investments in subsidiaries. The company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. Principal currencies hedged include the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, euro, Hong Kong dollar, Swedish krona, New Zealand dollar, British pound and Japanese yen. The company utilizes foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts, as well as cross-currency swaps, to hedge these exposures. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. The company hedges portions of its forecasted foreign currency transaction exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts for periods typically up to 18 months. To hedge currency exposures related to intercompany debt, foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts, as well as cross-currency swap contracts, are entered into for periods consistent with the underlying debt. As of January 26, 2014, cross-currency swap contracts mature between 1 and 30 months. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $56 at January 26, 2014 and $129 at July 28, 2013. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Earnings on the same line item and the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $423 and $895 at January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps in order to maintain its variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines. Receive fixed rate/pay variable rate interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair-value hedges. The notional amount of outstanding fair-value interest rate swaps totaled $200 at July 28, 2013. These swaps matured in October 2013. The company manages its exposure to interest rate volatility on future debt issuances by entering into forward starting interest rate swaps to lock in the rate on the interest payments related to the forecasted debt issuances. Pay fixed rate/receive variable rate forward starting interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash-flow hedges. The notional amount of outstanding forward starting interest rate swaps totaled $250 at January 26, 2014 and at July 28, 2013.

Commodity Price Risk

The company principally uses a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. The company also enters into commodity futures, options and swap contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of diesel fuel, soybean oil, wheat, aluminum, natural gas, cocoa and corn, which impact the cost of raw materials. Commodity futures, options, and swap contracts are either accounted for as cash-flow hedges or are not designated as accounting hedges. The company hedges a portion of commodity requirements for periods typically up to 18 months. There were no commodity contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges as of January 26, 2014 or July 28, 2013. The notional amount of commodity contracts not designated as accounting hedges was $95 at January 26, 2014 and $105 at July 28, 2013.

Equity Price Risk

The company enters into swap contracts which hedge a portion of exposures relating to certain deferred compensation obligations linked to the total return of the company’s capital stock, the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index, and the total return of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index. Under these contracts, the company pays variable interest rates and receives from the counterparty either the total return on company capital stock; the total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which is expected to approximate the total return of the Vanguard Institutional Index; or the total return of the iShares MSCI EAFE Index, which is expected to approximate the total return of the Vanguard Total International Stock Index. These contracts were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and are entered into for periods typically not exceeding 12 months. The notional amounts of the contracts as of January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013 were $49 and $50, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments on a gross basis as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013:

	Balance Sheet Classification	January 26, 2014		July 28, 2013

The company has elected not to offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if the company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013 would be adjusted as detailed in the following table:

	January 26, 2014							July 28, 2013
Derivative Instrument	Gross Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet		Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Subject to Netting Agreements			Net Amount		Gross Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet		Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Subject to Netting Agreements			Net Amount
Total asset derivatives	$	52	$	(5	)	$	47	$	32	$	(8	)	$	24
Total liability derivatives	$	8	$	(5	)	$	3	$	36	$	(8	)	$	28

The company has elected not to offset fair value amounts recognized for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments and cash margin accounts executed with the same counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. The company is required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of open positions. At January 26, 2014 and July 28, 2013, cash margin account balances of $7 are included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following tables show the effect of the company’s derivative instruments designated as cash-flow hedges for the three- and six-month periods ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013, in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI) and the Consolidated Statements of Earnings:

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are categorized based on the following fair value hierarchy:

• Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs, which are valued based on the company's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. When available, the company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure the fair value and classifies such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, the company bases fair value upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Included in the fair value of derivative instruments is an adjustment for credit and nonperformance risk.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents the company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 26, 2014, and July 28, 2013, consistent with the fair value hierarchy:

	Fair Value as of January 26, 2014		Fair Value Measurements at January 26, 2014 Using Fair Value Hierarchy						Fair Value as of July 28, 2013		Fair Value Measurements at July 28, 2013 Using Fair Value Hierarchy

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the company is also required to measure certain items at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

In the three-month period ended January 26, 2014, the company recognized an impairment charge of $11 on plant assets associated with the initiative to restructure manufacturing and streamline operations for its soup and broth business in China. See also Note 8. The carrying value was reduced to estimated fair value based on expected proceeds. The carrying value at January 26, 2014 was not material.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, excluding the current portion of long-term debt, approximate fair value. Cash equivalents of $139 at January 26, 2014 and $4 at July 28, 2013 represent fair value as these highly liquid investments have an original maturity of three months or less. Fair value of cash equivalents is based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt in Short-term borrowings, was $2,972 at January 26, 2014 and $3,299 at July 28, 2013. The carrying value was $2,956 at January 26, 2014 and $3,244 at July 28, 2013. The fair value of long-term debt is principally estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business and Geographic Segment Information

Business and Geographic Segment Information

The company manages operations through 10 operating segments based on product type and geographic location and has aggregated the operating segments into the appropriate reportable segment based on similar economic characteristics; products; production processes; types or classes of customers; distribution methods; and regulatory environment. The reportable segments are discussed in greater detail below.

The U.S. Simple Meals segment includes the following products: Campbell’s condensed and ready-to-serve soups; Swanson broth and stocks, Prego pasta sauces; Pace Mexican sauces; Campbell’s canned gravies, pasta and beans; Swanson canned poultry; and as of June 13, 2013, Plum Organics food and snacks.

The Global Baking and Snacking segment aggregates the following operating segments: Pepperidge Farm cookies, crackers, bakery and frozen products in U.S. retail; Arnott’s biscuits in Australia and Asia Pacific; and as of August 8, 2013, Kelsencookies globally.

The International Simple Meals and Beverages segment aggregates the following operating segments: the retail business in Canada and the simple meals and beverages business in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and China. See also Note 4 for information on the sale of the simple meals business in Europe. This business was historically included in this segment. The results of operations of this business have been reflected as discontinued operations for the periods presented. Prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The U.S. Beverages segment represents the U.S. retail beverages business, including the following products: V8 juices and beverages; and Campbell’s tomato juice.

Bolthouse and Foodservice comprises the Bolthouse Farms carrot products operating segment, including fresh carrots, juice concentrate and fiber; the Bolthouse Farms super-premium refrigerated beverages and refrigerated salad dressings operating segment; and the North America Foodservice operating segment. The North America Foodservice operating segment represents the distribution of products such as soup, specialty entrées, beverage products, other prepared foods and Pepperidge Farm products through various food service channels in the U.S. and Canada. None of these operating segments meets the criteria for aggregation nor the thresholds for separate disclosure.

The company evaluates segment performance before interest, taxes and costs associated with restructuring activities. Unrealized gains and losses on commodity hedging activities are excluded from segment operating earnings and are recorded in Corporate expenses as these open positions represent hedges of future purchases. Upon closing of the contracts, the realized gain or loss is transferred to segment operating earnings, which allows the segments to reflect the economic effects of the hedge without exposure to quarterly volatility of unrealized gains and losses. Certain manufacturing, warehousing and distribution activities of the segments are integrated in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. As a result, asset information by segment is not discretely maintained for internal reporting or used in evaluating performance.

Restructuring Charges

2014 Initiatives

In the second quarter of 2014, the company and its joint venture partner Swire Pacific Limited agreed to restructure manufacturing and streamline operations for its soup and broth business in China. As a result, certain assets were impaired, and approximately 110 positions will be eliminated. The company recorded a restructuring charge of $13 ($5 after tax or $.02 per share in earnings from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company) related to this initiative. The company does not expect additional charges.

A summary of the restructuring activity and related reserve associated with this initiative at January 26, 2014 is as follows:

			Six Months Ended

Other exit costs (1)			1
Asset impairment			11
Total charges			$	13

_______________________________________

⁽¹⁾ Includes non-cash costs that are not reflected in the restructuring reserve in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

These charges are associated with the International Simple Meals and Beverages segment. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges as segment performance is evaluated excluding such charges.

In the first quarter of 2014, the company streamlined its salaried workforce in North America and in the Asia Pacific region. Approximately 200 positions were eliminated. The actions were substantially completed in October 2013. The company recorded a restructuring charge of $20 ($13 after tax or $.04 per share) associated with this initiative for severance and benefit costs. The company does not expect additional charges. The company expects the total pre-tax costs of this initiative to represent cash expenditures, the majority of which will be spent in 2014.

A summary of the restructuring reserve associated with this workforce-related initiative at January 26, 2014 is as follows:

			Six Months Ended
			January 26, 2014
	Accrued Balance at July 28, 2013		Charges		Cash Payments			Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment		Accrued Balance at January 26, 2014
Severance pay and benefits	$	—	$	20	$	(5	)	$	—	$	15

The total pre-tax costs of $20 associated with each segment are as follows: U.S. Simple Meals - $5; Global Baking and Snacking - $9; International Simple Meals and Beverages - $3; U.S. Beverages - $1; Bolthouse and Foodservice - $1; and Corporate - $1. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges as segment performance is evaluated excluding such charges.

2013 Initiatives

In 2013, the company implemented the following initiatives to improve supply chain efficiency, expand access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities, and reduce costs:

• The company implemented initiatives to improve its U.S. supply chain cost structure and increase asset utilization across its U.S. thermal plant network, including closing its thermal plant in Sacramento, California, which produced soups, sauces and beverages. The closure resulted in the elimination of approximately 700 full-time positions and was completed in phases. Most of the positions were eliminated in 2013 and operations ceased in August 2013. The company shifted the majority of Sacramento's soup, sauce and beverage production to its thermal plants in Maxton, North Carolina; Napoleon, Ohio; and Paris, Texas. The company also closed its spice plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey, which resulted in the elimination of 27 positions. The company consolidated spice production at its Milwaukee, Wisconsin, plant in 2013.

• In Mexico, the company entered into commercial arrangements with third-party providers to expand access to manufacturing and distribution capabilities. The third-party providers will produce and distribute the company's beverages, soups, broths and sauces throughout the Mexican market. As a result of these agreements, the company closed its plant in Villagrán, Mexico, and eliminated approximately 260 positions in the first quarter of 2014.

• The company will improve its Pepperidge Farm bakery supply chain cost structure by closing its plant in Aiken, South Carolina, in 2014. The company will shift the majority of Aiken's bread production to its bakery plant in Lakeland, Florida. Approximately 110 positions will be eliminated as a result of the plant closure.

• The company streamlined its salaried workforce in U.S. Simple Meals, North America Foodservice and U.S. Beverages by approximately 70 positions. This action was substantially completed in August 2013.

The company expects to continue investing in the new system through 2015. Further, the company improved asset utilization in the U.S. by shifting production of ready-to-serve soups from Paris, Texas, to other facilities in 2012. In addition, the manufacturing facility in Marshall, Michigan, was closed in 2011, and manufacturing of Campbell’s Soup at Hand microwavable products was consolidated at the Maxton, North Carolina, plant in 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

The company provides compensation benefits by issuing unrestricted stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units (including time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, total shareholder return (TSR) performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units). In 2014, the company issued time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, TSR performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units. In previous years, the company also issued stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from continuing operations was $15 and $25 for the three-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. The pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from discontinued operations was $1 for the three-month period ended January 27, 2013. Tax-related benefits of $6 and $10 were also recognized for the three-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from continuing operations was $36 and $49 for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. The pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in Earnings from discontinued operations was $1 and $2 for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. Tax-related benefits of $14 and $19 were also recognized for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $7 and $50 for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, respectively, and is reflected in cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table summarizes stock option activity as of January 26, 2014:

	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	(Options in thousands)				(In years)
Outstanding at July 28, 2013	1,101		$	27.25
Granted	—		$	—
Exercised	(246	)	$	26.72
Terminated	—		$	—
Outstanding at January 26, 2014	855		$	27.41	0.9	$	13
Exercisable at January 26, 2014	855		$	27.41	0.9	$	13

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, was $4 and $18, respectively. As of January 2009, compensation related to stock options was fully expensed. The company measured the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following table summarizes time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units as of January 26, 2014:

	Units		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
	(Restricted stock units in thousands)
Nonvested at July 28, 2013	4,208		$	34.05
Granted	1,644		$	39.76
Vested	(2,539	)	$	33.19
Forfeited	(217	)	$	36.73
Nonvested at January 26, 2014	3,096		$	37.60

The fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, and strategic performance restricted stock units is determined based on the quoted price of the company’s stock at the date of grant. Time-lapse restricted stock units are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. EPS performance restricted stock units are expensed on a graded-vesting basis, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. There were approximately 251 thousand EPS performance target grants outstanding at January 26, 2014 with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $37.49. Strategic performance restricted stock units are expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period. Awards of the strategic performance restricted stock units will be earned based upon the achievement of two key metrics, net sales and EPS growth, compared to strategic plan objectives during a two-year period for grants in 2013 and during a three-year period for grants in 2014. There were approximately 948 thousand strategic performance target grants outstanding at January 26, 2014 with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $37.88. The actual number of EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date could range from 0% to 100% and 0% to 200%, respectively, of the initial grant, depending on actual performance achieved. Expense is estimated based on the number of awards expected to vest.

As of January 26, 2014, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units and strategic performance restricted stock units was $61, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.9 years. The fair value of restricted stock units vested during the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013, was $104 and $39, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during six-month period ended January 27, 2013 was $35.04.

The following table summarizes TSR performance restricted stock units as of January 26, 2014:

	Units		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
	(Restricted stock units in thousands)
Nonvested at July 28, 2013	1,458		$	41.88
Granted	458		$	36.26
Vested	—		$	—
Forfeited	(981	)	$	42.87
Nonvested at January 26, 2014	935		$	38.13

The company estimated the fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation were as follows:

	2014	2013
Risk-free interest rate	0.60%	0.30%
Expected dividend yield	2.98%	3.26%
Expected volatility	15.76%	15.07%
Expected term	3 years	3 years

Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. As of January 26, 2014, total remaining unearned compensation related to TSR performance restricted stock units was $22, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 2.2 years. In the first quarter of 2014, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 0% of the initial grants based upon the company’s TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 26, 2013. The grant-date fair value of the TSR performance restricted stock units granted during 2013 was $39.76.

The excess tax benefits on the exercise of stock options and vested restricted stock presented as cash flows from financing activities for the six-month periods ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013 were $10 and $5, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

On October 28, 2013, the company completed the sale of its European simple meals business to Soppa Investments S.à r.l., an affiliate of CVC Capital Partners. The transaction was completed pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement dated September 30, 2013, for approximately €400, or $548, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The company recognized a pre-tax gain of $147 ($90 after tax or $.28 per share) in the three-month period ended January 26, 2014 and a pre-tax gain of $141 ($72 after tax or $.23 per share) in the six-month period ended January 26, 2014.

The European business included the Erasco and Heisse Tasse soups in Germany; Liebig and Royco soups in France; Devos Lemmens mayonnaise and cold sauces and Royco soups in Belgium; and Blå Band and Isomitta soups and sauces in Sweden.

Share Repurchases

Share Repurchases

In June 2011, the Board authorized the purchase of up to $1,000 of company stock. This program has no expiration date. The company suspended purchases under this program in July 2012. Approximately $750 remained available under this program as of January 26, 2014. The company also repurchases shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. During the six-month period ended January 26, 2014, the company repurchased approximately 2 million shares at a cost of $76. During the six-month period ended January 27, 2013, the company repurchased 2 million shares at a cost of $63.
