Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management measures and reports Sara Lee’s financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In this report, Sara Lee highlights certain items that have significantly impacted the corporation’s financial results and uses several non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the financial impact of these significant items.

“Significant items” are income or charges (and related tax impact) that management believes have had or are likely to have a significant impact on the earnings of the applicable business segment or on the total corporation for the period in which the item is recognized, are not indicative of the company’s core operating results and affect the comparability of underlying results from period to period. Significant items may include, but are not limited to: charges for exit activities; transformation program and Project Accelerate costs; impairment charges; tax costs and benefits resulting from the disposition of a business; tax provision corrections; impact of tax law changes; and favorable or unfavorable resolution of open tax matters based on the finalization of tax authority examinations or the expiration of statutes of limitations. Management highlights significant items to provide greater transparency into the underlying sales or profit trends of Sara Lee or the applicable business segment and to enable more meaningful comparability between financial results from period to period. Additionally, Sara Lee believes that investors desire to understand the impact of these factors to better project and assess the longer term trends and future financial performance of the corporation.

“Contingent sale proceeds” are contingent proceeds from the sale of the company’s tobacco business in fiscal 1999. Under the sales agreement, Sara Lee received cash payments annually so long as tobacco continued to be a legal product in the specified countries. Our last cash payment was received on July 15, 2009. Contingent sale proceeds are not “significant items,” but are identified separately because the income is not generated by the company’s underlying business and has a finite term.

This report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from a financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP the impact of the significant items, the receipt of contingent sale proceeds, the impact of acquisitions and divestitures and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of Sara Lee’s business that, when viewed together with Sara Lee’s financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Sara Lee’s historical financial performance and projected future operating results, greater transparency of underlying profit trends and greater comparability of results across periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, investors frequently have requested information from management regarding significant items and management believes, based on feedback it has received during earnings calls and discussions with investors, that these non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ ability to assess Sara Lee’s historical and project future financial performance. Management also uses certain of these non-GAAP financial measures, in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures, to understand, manage and evaluate our businesses, in planning for and forecasting financial results for future periods, and as one factor in determining incentive compensation. Many of the significant items will recur in future periods; however, the amount and frequency of each significant item varies from period to period.

The following is an explanation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report.

“Adjusted operating income” excludes from the corporation’s operating income, the impact of significant items, net, contingent sale proceeds, and businesses acquired or divested after the start of the fiscal period and presents fiscal 2008 results at fiscal 2009 currency exchange rates.

“Adjusted operating income, revised” excludes from the corporation’s operating income, the impact of significant items, net, recognized during the fiscal period presented, contingent sale proceeds and businesses acquired or divested after the start of the fiscal period and presents fiscal 2008 results at fiscal 2009 currency exchange rates; however, for purposes of this calculation, software amortization expense related to our transformation program is not treated as a significant item. Beginning in fiscal 2010, software amortization expense will be reported as a normal operating expense item, and not as a significant item. We are presenting adjusted operating income, as revised, to assist comparability of fiscal 2009 and 2008 results with fiscal 2010 results.

“Adjusted operating segment income” excludes from the operating segment income of a specified business segment, the impact of significant items, net, recognized by that business segment during the fiscal period and businesses acquired or divested after the start of the fiscal period and presents fiscal 2008 results at fiscal 2009 currency exchange rates.

“Adjusted operating segment income, revised” excludes from the operating segment income of a specified business segment, the impact of significant items, net, recognized by that business segment during the fiscal period presented and businesses acquired or divested after the start of the fiscal period and presents fiscal 2008 results at fiscal 2009 currency exchange rates; however, for purposes of this calculation, software amortization expense related to our transformation program is not treated as a significant item. Beginning in fiscal 2010, software amortization expense will be reported as a normal operating expense item, and not as a significant item. We are presenting adjusted operating segment income, as revised, to assist comparability of fiscal 2009 and 2008 results with fiscal 2010 results.
