FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

CONAGRA FOODS COMPARABLE THIRD-QUARTER EPS ABOVE

EXPECTATIONS; FISCAL 2015 EPS GUIDANCE INCREASED;

FISCAL 2015 DEBT REDUCTION GOAL REAFFIRMED;

IMPAIRMENT CHARGE FOR PRIVATE BRANDS

Fiscal 2015 Third-quarter Highlights (% cited vs. year-ago period amounts, where applicable):

• Diluted EPS from continuing operations posted a loss of $(2.23) per share as reported, due to significant non-cash impairment charges, vs. $0.52 a year ago. After adjusting for items impacting comparability, diluted EPS of $0.59 this quarter was ahead of expectations and below year-ago comparable diluted EPS of $0.62.

• Consumer Foods posted flat volume, and comparable segment operating profit increased.

• Commercial Foods sales and comparable operating profit grew as the segment posted good domestic results for Lamb Weston potato operations and good overall efficiencies.

• Private Brands comparable profits were substantially below year-ago amounts due to a continued competitive bidding environment and execution shortfalls. Private Brands comparable profits are expected to improve in fiscal 2016 and beyond due to execution-related initiatives being implemented.

• The company recognized pre-tax noncash impairment charges of approximately $1.3 billion, writing down Private Brands goodwill and other intangible assets. This amount is identified as an item impacting comparability.

• Due to the fiscal third quarter EPS performance, the company has raised fiscal 2015 diluted EPS expectations to $2.15-$2.19, adjusted for items impacting comparability.

• The company continues to expect to repay approximately $1 billion of debt this fiscal year. The company has repaid more than $600 million of debt so far this fiscal year, approximately $500 million of which reflects the utilization of proceeds related to the Ardent Mills transaction. Other capital allocation goals are unchanged.

• As previously announced, Sean Connolly began his role as CEO-Elect on March 3, 2015 and becomes CEO on April 6, 2015.

OMAHA, Neb., March 26, 2015 — ConAgra Foods, Inc., (NYSE: CAG) one of North America’s leading food companies, today reported results for the fiscal 2015 third quarter ended Feb. 22, 2015.

Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $(2.23) for the fiscal third quarter 2015, due to a significant impairment charge, vs. diluted EPS of $0.52 as reported for the fiscal 2014 third quarter. After adjusting for items impacting comparability, comparable diluted EPS was $0.59 this quarter and $0.62 in the year-ago period. Items impacting comparability are summarized toward the end of this release and reconciled for Regulation G purposes starting on page 11.

Gary Rodkin, ConAgra Foods’ chief executive officer, said, “We are pleased with the performance of our Consumer Foods segment and our domestic Commercial Foods business, as well as the robust efficiencies we are generating across the company. Our Private Brands segment, however, is significantly below expectations; we are in the midst of implementing initiatives to improve execution to drive better performance starting in fiscal 2016.”

“Given my upcoming retirement from ConAgra Foods, I would like to thank all of our shareholders for their interest, encouragement, and support over the last nine years as we have significantly transformed the company. Over these years, our team made significant strides culturally, organizationally, operationally, and in the marketplace, generating consistently strong cash flow and putting us in a good position to capitalize on the next set of opportunities. I am very excited that Sean Connolly will be the company’s next CEO, and I look forward to watching the company’s progress under his leadership.”

Consumer Foods Segment

Branded food items sold worldwide in retail channels.

The Consumer Foods segment posted sales of approximately $1.8 billion and operating profit of $274 million, as reported. Sales declined 2% as reported, with flat volume, a 1% decline in price/mix, and 1% negative impact from foreign exchange.

• Brands posting sales growth for the quarter include ACT II, Chef Boyardee, Hebrew National, PAM, PF Chang’s, Rosarita, and Slim Jim. The company notes good performance in alternative channels given the focus on those opportunities this fiscal year.

• The packaging, assortment, product, and merchandising initiatives designed to improve the performance of Chef Boyardee, Healthy Choice, and Orville Redenbacher’s are underway and expected to drive continuously improving performance.

• Other brand details are provided in the written Q&A document accompanying this release.

Operating profit of $274 million was 3% above year-ago amounts as reported. After adjusting for $8 million of net expense in the current quarter and $4 million of net expense in the year-ago period from items impacting comparability, current quarter operating profit of $282 million increased 5% over comparable year-ago amounts. Advertising expense declined approximately $20 million, reflecting a continually increasing focus on efficiency and return on investment, as well as a timing shift in which some spend has been moved from the fiscal third quarter into the fiscal fourth quarter. Good cost savings and efficiencies more than offset inflation.

Current quarter comparable operating profit also includes:

• $21 million of negative impact from certain index hedge losses, discussed in the Hedging Activities section of this document.

• $8 million of negative impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.

Commercial Foods Segment

Specialty potato, seasonings, blends, flavors, and bakery products, as well as consumer branded and private branded packaged food items, sold to foodservice and commercial channels worldwide.

Sales for the Commercial Foods segment were $1 billion, up 1% vs. year-ago period amounts, and segment operating profit was $145 million, 18% above year-ago period amounts, as reported. After adjusting for items impacting comparability in the current quarter and year-ago period, current quarter operating profit increased 4%.

Sales and operating profits for Lamb Weston potato products grew modestly, largely reflecting good domestic performance, a better quality raw potato crop, and good operating efficiencies; collectively, these more than offset lower international results. International sales and profits were weak, resulting from recent challenges facing quick-serve restaurant customers in key Asian markets and the

slowdown in shipments from the West Coast port labor dispute. The West Coast port labor dispute was resolved toward the end of the company’s fiscal third quarter; the company expects slower than normal shipments throughout the remainder of the fiscal year due to the backlog created by the dispute. Profits for the rest of the Commercial Foods segment grew modestly, largely reflecting good efficiencies. Comparable segment operating profit also includes $2 million of negative impact from certain index hedge losses, discussed in the Hedging Activities section of this document.

Private Brands

Private brand food items sold in domestic markets.

Note: On February 12, 2015 the company lowered the fiscal 2015 outlook for this segment.

Sales for the Private Brands segment were $1 billion in the quarter, down 5% from year-ago period amounts, reflecting 7% lower volume. Overall volume declines for most major product lines - pasta, cereal, snacks, condiments, and in-store bakery - more than offset some growth in nutrition bars.

The segment posted an operating loss of $(1.3 billion), as reported, due to an impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. The impairment follows further deterioration in business results during the fiscal third quarter; as such, the profit outlook for this segment has been significantly reduced, and it will take longer than previously expected to manage through the challenges for this business. After adjusting for $1.3 billion of net expense from items impacting comparability (most of which are significant impairment charges) in the current quarter, and $21 million of items impacting comparability in year-ago period amounts, comparable operating profit declined 44%. Execution challenges and higher commodity costs, notably in durum wheat and snack nuts, played a significant role in the comparable profit decrease; continued volume declines across most categories, largely reflecting an intense bidding environment, also weighed on profitability. Pricing initiatives underway should help pass on the higher commodity costs over time. As previously discussed, the company is implementing changes focusing on four main areas designed to improve overall execution and customer relationships:

• Responsiveness to customer requests for product modifications, notably graphics changes,

• The speed of commercializing new items,

• On-time deliveries, fill-rates, and other core measurements of customer service, and

• The alignment between core functions driving margins, specifically sales and supply chain, to drive better cost management when input costs fluctuate.

These initiatives have begun and will continue over the next several quarters, and are expected to favorably impact business results starting in fiscal 2016. Comparable segment profit also includes $6 million of negative impact from certain index hedge losses, discussed in the Hedging Activities section of this document.

Hedging Activities

Hedge gains and losses are generally aggregated, and net amounts are reclassified from unallocated Corporate expense to the operating segments when the underlying commodity or foreign currency being hedged is expensed in segment cost of goods sold. The net of these activities resulted in $6 million of favorable impact in the current quarter and $52 million of favorable impact in the year-ago period. The company identifies these amounts as items impacting comparability within the discussion of unallocated Corporate results.

Certain hedge amounts recognized directly within segments this quarter:

As previously disclosed in the company’s fiscal second-quarter earnings announcement, as part of its ongoing monitoring and review, the company had determined that changes in correlations among commodities and certain of its index hedges, exacerbated by volatility, required the company to change its method of recognizing certain mark-to-market amounts. The resulting method involves recognizing the prospective changes in the fair value of such index hedges directly into segment results as part of the mark-to-market process, which contrasts with the company’s historical and ongoing practice of temporarily classifying those amounts within unallocated Corporate results (discussed above). As such, the company has recognized approximately $28 million of expense directly to its operating segments this quarter; without this change in methodology, most of that expense would have been temporarily classified within unallocated Corporate expense and recognized within segment results over the next few quarters. The $28 million of expense is not identified as an item impacting comparability. The company has effectively exited the hedge positions that necessitated this methodology change and does not expect to have to recognize hedges in this manner in the foreseeable future.

CONAGRA FOODS

page 6

For its other hedges, the company will continue with its approach of temporarily classifying hedging results within unallocated Corporate expense prior to being recognized within segment results.

Other Items

• Unallocated Corporate amounts were $50 million of expense in the current quarter and $45 million of expense in the year-ago period. Current-quarter amounts include $6 million of hedge-related benefit and $5 million of net expense from other items impacting comparability. Year-ago period amounts include $52 million of hedge-related benefit and $68 million of expense related to other items impacting comparability. Excluding these amounts, unallocated Corporate expense was $51 million for the current quarter and $29 million in the year-ago period. The increase largely reflects higher employee benefits and incentive accruals, as well as timing differences (across fiscal quarters) for certain expenses.

• Equity method investment earnings were $33 million for the current quarter and $11 million in the year-ago period; the year-over-year increase mostly reflects the inclusion of profits for the company’s Ardent Mills joint venture (which are not in year-ago amounts).

• Net interest expense was $80 million in the current quarter and $95 million in the year-ago period; the decrease reflects significant debt repayment.

Capital Items

• The company continues to expect to repay approximately $1 billion of debt this fiscal year, resulting in a cumulative debt repayment of approximately $2 billion since the acquisition of Ralcorp. The company has repaid more than $600 million of debt so far this fiscal year, approximately $500 million of which reflects the utilization of proceeds related to the Ardent Mills transaction. Other capital allocation goals are unchanged.

CONAGRA FOODS

• Dividends for the quarter totaled $107 million versus $105 million in the year-ago period, reflecting an increase in shares outstanding.

• The company repurchased approximately 1 million shares of common stock during the quarter for approximately $38 million.

• For the current quarter, capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $116 million, compared with $133 million in the year-ago period. The decrease reflects several significant planned plant expansions and improvements in the year-ago period. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $145 million for the fiscal third quarter; this compares with a total of $150 million in the year-ago period.

Outlook

The company now expects fiscal 2015 diluted EPS, adjusted for items impacting comparability, to be in the range of $2.15-$2.19. The company now expects operating cash flow to approximate $1.55 billion, slightly below the prior forecast of $1.6 billion; the revision reflects higher inventory levels due to certain crop-based inputs and higher raw material costs. The company continues to expect to reduce debt by a total of $1 billion in fiscal 2015, thereby completing its broader debt reduction goals for the fiscal 2013-2015 period.

Major Items Impacting Third-quarter Fiscal 2015 EPS Comparability

Included in the $(2.23) diluted EPS from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 (EPS amounts rounded and after tax). These include references to selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense, and cost of goods sold (COGS):

• Approximately $2.81 per diluted share of net expense, or $1,299 million pretax, related to the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the Private Brands segment (SG&A) as well as the impact on diluted share count.

• Approximately $0.03 per diluted share of net expense, or $22 million pretax, resulting from restructuring and integration costs. $9 million is classified within the Private Brands segment

# # #

CONAGRA FOODS

page 8

($1 million in COGS, $8 million in SG&A), $8 million is classified within the Consumer Foods segment (all SG&A), and $5 million of this is classified as unallocated Corporate expense (SG&A).

• Approximately $0.01 per diluted share of net benefit, or $6 million pretax, related to the mark-to-market impact of derivatives used to hedge input costs, temporarily classified in unallocated Corporate expense. Hedge gains and losses are generally aggregated, and net amounts are reclassified from unallocated Corporate expense to the operating segments when the underlying commodity or foreign currency being hedged is expensed in segment cost of goods sold.

• Approximately $0.01 per diluted share of net benefit from favorable adjustments to prior-year tax credits.

Included in the $0.52 diluted EPS from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 (EPS amounts rounded and after tax):

• Approximately $0.08 per diluted share of net benefit, or $52 million pretax, related to the mark-to-market impact of derivatives used to hedge input costs, temporarily classified in unallocated Corporate expense. Hedge gains and losses are aggregated, and net amounts are reclassified from unallocated Corporate expense to the operating segments when the underlying commodity or foreign currency being hedged is expensed in segment cost of goods sold.

• Approximately $0.08 per diluted share of net expense, or $55 million pretax, related to the settlement of interest rate derivative hedges that were initiated in prior years in anticipation of refinancing debt that matured in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Based on an assessment of the company’s debt repayment alternatives, the company decided to forego refinancing that debt, and therefore recognized the derivative loss in earnings immediately.

• Approximately $0.06 per diluted share of net expense, or $38 million pretax, resulting from restructuring and integration (including acquisition-related restructuring). $21 million of this is classified within the results of the Private Brands segment (mostly SG&A), $13 million is classified as unallocated Corporate expense (SG&A), and $4 million is classified within the Consumer Foods segment (mostly SG&A).

• Approximately $0.04 per diluted share of net benefit due to resolving U.S. and foreign tax matters related to transactions occurring in prior years.

• Approximately $0.02 per diluted share of net expense, or $17 million pretax, resulting from impairment of assets in the Commercial Foods segment (SG&A).

• Note: in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, comparable EPS included approximately $0.05 of net contribution from items previously classified within continuing operations (primarily profits from flour milling), which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, as well as rounding.
