DEAN FOODS COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

(Unaudited)

1. General

Nature of Our Business — We are one of the leading food and beverage companies in the United States, as well as a global leader in branded plant-based beverages, such as soy, almond and coconut milks, and soy-based food products. We align our leadership teams, operating strategies and supply chain initiatives around our two lines of business: Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar and WhiteWave-Alpro.

Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar is the largest processor and distributor of milk and other dairy products in the United States, with products such as milk, ice cream, cultured dairy products, creamers, ice cream mix and other dairy products sold under more than 50 familiar local and regional brands and a wide array of private labels.

WhiteWave-Alpro markets and sells a variety of nationally branded dairy and dairy-related products, such as Horizon Organic^® milk and other dairy products, International Delight^® coffee creamers, LAND O LAKES^® creamers and fluid dairy products, Silk^® plant-based beverages, such as soy, almond and coconut milks, and cultured soy products. WhiteWave-Alpro also offers branded soy-based beverages and food products in Europe and markets its products under the Alpro^® and Provamel^® brands.

Basis of Presentation — The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on the same basis as the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2011. In our opinion, we have made all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) in order to present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. Our results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2011 may not be indicative of our operating results for the full year. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 2011, we have presented an accrual related to a proposed litigation settlement in a new line item entitled current portion of litigation settlements. In prior periods, litigation settlement accruals were presented within the accounts payable and other accrued expenses line item. Our historical balance sheet has been recast to conform to the current presentation. See Note 11 for further information regarding our litigation settlements.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this report to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Dean Foods Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2011, in an effort to assist in the convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update related to “Fair Value Measurements: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The standard expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes certain other amendments, including a requirement to categorize, by level in the fair value hierarchy, items that are required to be disclosed, but not measured, at fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

(Unaudited)

In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update related to “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This standard revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the previously accepted presentation options and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income, or two separate but consecutive statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and requires retrospective application for all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

2. Divestitures and Discontinued Operations

Pending and Completed Divestitures

In the first quarter of 2011, we committed to a plan to sell the fluid milk operations at our Fresh Dairy Direct manufacturing facility in Waukesha, Wisconsin (“Waukesha”) as a result of the settlement of the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) civil action related to our acquisition of the Consumer Products Division of Foremost Farms USA in April 2009. This operation did not meet the requirements to be accounted for as a discontinued operation. On August 3, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party for the sale of the Waukesha facility. The DOJ has agreed to grant additional time to the Company to complete the divestiture.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we entered into two separate agreements to sell our Mountain High and private label yogurt operations. These operations were a part of our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment. The decision to sell these operations was part of our strategic growth plan and allows us to target our investments in growing our core dairy and branded businesses. These operations did not meet the requirements to be accounted for as discontinued operations.

On February 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our Mountain High yogurt operations for cash proceeds of approximately $85 million. We used the proceeds from the sale to prepay a portion of the outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. We completed the sale of our private label yogurt operations for cash proceeds of approximately $93 million on April 1, 2011 and used these proceeds for additional debt repayments, including the full repayment of the remaining outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings. See Note 5.

We recorded a net pre-tax gain of $24.9 million and $44.4 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, related to our divestitures and the write down of our Waukesha operations. The gain was recorded in other operating income in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At June 30, 2011, assets held for sale related to divestitures were immaterial and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Discontinued Operations

On August 4, 2010 we completed the sale of the business operations of our Rachel’s Dairy Companies (“Rachel’s”), which provided organic branded dairy-based chilled yogurt, milk and related dairy products primarily in the United Kingdom. As a result of the sale, we recognized a gain of $5.7 million, net of tax, in the third quarter of 2010. The decision to sell Rachel’s was part of our strategic growth plan and allows us to target our investments in growing our core dairy and branded businesses. Our Rachel’s operations, previously reported within the WhiteWave-Alpro segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.

The following is a summary of the operating results of our Rachel’s discontinued operations:

(1) We wrote off $4.6 million of indefinite-lived intangibles and $1.5 million of net finite-lived intangibles during the first six months of 2011 related to the divestitures disclosed in Note 2. The increase in the gross carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite lives is primarily the result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

(2) In the first six months of 2011, we sold a trademark with a gross carrying amount of $7.5 million.

Amortization expense on intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible assets for the six months ended

* Includes our revolving credit facility, Dean Foods Company senior notes, subsidiary senior notes, capital lease obligations and other debt.

** The scheduled maturity of a portion of term loan B is April 2, 2017, subject to the condition that we meet certain leverage, debt, cash or credit rating tests following December 31, 2015. However, if at least one of these tests is not met, the maturity date for this portion of term loan B will be April 2, 2016.

Senior Secured Credit Facility — Our senior secured credit facility consists of an original combination of a $1.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility, a $1.5 billion five-year term loan A, and a $1.8 billion seven-year term loan B. In June 2010, we amended and restated the agreement governing the senior secured credit facility, and entered into a further amendment in December 2010, which included extension of the maturity dates for certain principal amounts, amendment of the maximum permitted leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio and the addition of a senior secured leverage ratio (each as defined in our credit agreement), and the amendment of certain other terms. At June 30, 2011, there were outstanding borrowings of $678 million under the term loan A, $1.73 billion under the term loan B and $396 million under the revolving credit facility. Our average daily balance under the revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $125.2 million. Letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $170.3 million were issued under the revolving credit facility but undrawn.

On July 12, 2011, we announced that we entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. As part of the proposed settlement agreement, which has been granted preliminary approval by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, we have issued a standby letter of credit in the amount of $80 million, representing the subsequent payments due under the terms of the settlement agreement. See Note 11 for further information regarding the settlement.

As of July 29, 2011, $121.6 million was outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility, excluding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $250.3 million that were issued but undrawn.

The amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility is available for the issuance of up to $350 million of letters of credit and up to $150 million of swingline loans. No principal payments are due on the revolving credit facility until April 2, 2012, at which time any principal borrowings on a pro rata basis related to the $225 million of non-extended revolving credit facility commitments would become payable. No principal payments are due on the remaining $1.275 billion of extended revolving credit facility commitments until April 2, 2014. The credit agreement requires mandatory principal prepayments upon the occurrence of certain asset sales (provided that such sales, in total, exceed $250 million in any fiscal year), recovery events or as a result of exceeding certain leverage limits.

As discussed in Note 2, on February 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our Mountain High yogurt operations. We used the cash proceeds of approximately $85 million to prepay a portion of the outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings. Additionally, on April 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our private label yogurt operations and used the cash proceeds of approximately $93 million for additional debt repayments, including the full repayment of the remaining outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings.

Our credit agreement permits us to complete acquisitions that meet all of the following conditions without obtaining prior approval from our lenders: (1) the acquired company is involved in the manufacture, processing and distribution of food or packaging products or any other line of business in which we were engaged as of April 2007, (2) the net cash purchase price for any single acquisition is not greater than $500 million and not greater than $100 million if our leverage ratio is greater than 4.50 times, (3) we acquire at least 51% of the

acquired entity, (4) the transaction is approved by the board of directors or shareholders, as appropriate, of the target and (5) after giving effect to such acquisition on a pro-forma basis, we would have been in compliance with all financial covenants. All other acquisitions must be approved in advance by the required lenders.

The senior secured credit facility contains limitations on liens, investments and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, prohibits certain dispositions of property and restricts certain payments, including dividends. There are no restrictions on these certain payments, including dividends, when our leverage ratio is below 4.50 times. The senior secured credit facility is secured by liens on substantially all of our domestic assets including the assets of our subsidiaries, but excluding the capital stock of subsidiaries of the former Dean Foods Company (“Legacy Dean”), and the real property owned by Legacy Dean and its subsidiaries.

The credit agreement contains standard default triggers, including without limitation: failure to maintain compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in the credit agreement, default on certain of our other debt, a change in control and certain other material adverse changes in our business. The credit agreement does not contain any requirements to maintain specific credit rating levels, except as described above with respect to determining the maturity date for the 2017 tranche of term loan B.

Receivables-Backed Facility — We have a $600 million receivables securitization facility pursuant to which certain of our subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable to four wholly-owned entities intended to be bankruptcy-remote. The entities then transfer the receivables to third-party asset-backed commercial paper conduits sponsored by major financial institutions. The assets and liabilities of these four entities are fully reflected in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the securitization is treated as a borrowing for accounting purposes. The liquidity termination date for the receivables-backed facility is September 30, 2011. We intend and expect to renew the facility under similar terms currently established at the end of the current term.

The total value of receivables sold to these entities as of June 30, 2011 was $861.7 million. During the first six months of 2011, we borrowed and subsequently repaid $2.5 billion under this facility with no remaining drawn balance at June 30, 2011. Our average daily balance under the receivables-backed facility during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $316.1 million. The facility bears interest at a variable rate based upon commercial paper rates plus an applicable margin. Our ability to re-borrow under this facility is subject to a monthly borrowing base formula. This facility had $531.3 million of availability as of June 30, 2011, based on this formula. As of July 29, 2011, $420.0 million was outstanding under our receivables-backed facility.

We are currently in compliance with all covenants under our credit agreements, and based on our internal projections we expect to maintain such compliance for the foreseeable future.

Dean Foods Company Senior Notes due 2018 — On December 16, 2010, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 9.75% senior unsecured notes. The senior notes were sold in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers and in offshore transactions and were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. On August 3, 2011, we exchanged $400 million of the senior notes for new notes evidencing the same indebtedness and with substantially similar terms as the corresponding series of old notes, except that the new notes are registered under the Securities Act and do not have restrictions on transfer, rights to special interest or registration rights. These notes are our senior unsecured obligations and mature on December 15, 2018 with interest payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2011.

The indenture under which we issued the senior notes due 2018 does not contain financial covenants but does contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain indebtedness, enter into sale-leaseback transactions and engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of our assets. The carrying value of these notes at June 30, 2011 was $400.0 million.

Dean Foods Company Senior Notes due 2016 — On May 17, 2006, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior unsecured notes. The senior unsecured notes mature on June 1, 2016, and interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2006. The indenture under which we issued the senior notes due 2016 does not contain financial covenants but does contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain indebtedness, enter into sale-leaseback transactions and engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of our assets. The carrying value of these notes at June 30, 2011 was $498.9 million.

Subsidiary Senior Notes due 2017 — Legacy Dean had certain senior notes outstanding at the time of its acquisition, of which one series ($142 million aggregate principal amount) remains outstanding with a maturity date of October 15, 2017. The carrying value of these notes at June 30, 2011 was $128.3 million at 6.90% interest.

The indenture governing the Legacy Dean senior notes does not contain financial covenants but does contain certain restrictions, including a prohibition against Legacy Dean and its subsidiaries granting liens on certain of their real property interests and a prohibition against Legacy Dean granting liens on the stock of its subsidiaries. The Legacy Dean senior notes are not guaranteed by Dean Foods Company or Legacy Dean’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Capital Lease Obligations and Other — Capital lease obligations and other subsidiary debt includes various promissory notes for financing current year property and casualty insurance premiums, as well as the purchase of property, plant and equipment and capital lease obligations. The various promissory notes payable provide for interest at varying rates and are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest until maturity, when the remaining principal balances are due. Capital lease obligations represent machinery and equipment financing obligations, which are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest and are collateralized by the related assets financed. See Note 11.

Alpro Revolving Credit Facility — On July 8, 2011, Alpro N.V. renewed its multicurrency revolving credit facility for borrowings in an amount not to exceed €1 million (or its currency equivalent). The facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by Dean Foods Company and various Alpro N.V. subsidiaries. Proceeds under the facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of Alpro N.V. The subsidiary revolving credit facility is available for the issuance of up to €1 million of letters of credit. No principal payments are due under the subsidiary revolving credit facility until maturity on July 2, 2012. At June 30, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

Interest Rate Agreements — See Note 6 for information related to interest rate swap arrangements associated with our debt.

Guarantor Information — The 2016 and 2018 senior notes described above are our unsecured obligations and are fully and unconditionally, joint and severally guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries other than our receivables securitization subsidiaries.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivatives

Interest Rates — We have interest rate swap agreements in place that have been designated as cash flow hedges against variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our debt, with the objective of minimizing the impact of interest rate fluctuations and stabilizing cash flows. These swap agreements provide hedges for interest on our senior secured credit facility by fixing the LIBOR component of interest rates specified in the senior secured credit facility at the interest rates noted below until the indicated expiration dates of these interest rate swap agreements.

The following table summarizes our various interest rate agreements as of June 30, 2011:

Fixed Interest Rates	Expiration Date		Notional Amounts
			(In millions)
4.91%		March 30, 2012	$	1,250
1.60% to 1.84%(1)		December 31, 2013		800
2.75% to 2.84%(1)		March 31, 2016		200
2.70% to 3.17%(1)		March 31, 2017		650

(1) In August 2010 and April 2011, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an effective date of March 30, 2012.

These swaps are recorded as an asset or liability in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent the hedge is effective. Derivative gains and losses included in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings as the underlying transaction occurs. Any ineffectiveness in our hedges is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

We are exposed to market risk under these arrangements due to the possibility of interest rates on our senior secured credit facility rising above the rates on our interest rate swap agreements. Credit risk under these arrangements is believed to be remote as the counterparties to our interest rate swap agreements are major financial institutions; however, if any of the counterparties to our hedging arrangements become unable to fulfill their obligations to us, we may lose the financial benefits of these arrangements.

Commodities — We are exposed to commodity price fluctuations, including milk, soybeans, butterfat, sweeteners and other commodity costs used in the manufacturing, packaging and distribution of our products; including utilities, natural gas, resin and diesel fuel. To secure adequate supplies of materials and bring greater stability to the cost of ingredients and their related manufacturing, packaging and distribution, we routinely enter into forward purchase contracts and other purchase arrangements with suppliers. Under the forward purchase contracts, we commit to purchasing agreed-upon quantities of ingredients and commodities at agreed-upon prices at specified future dates. The outstanding purchase commitment for these commodities at any point in time typically ranges from one month’s to one year’s anticipated requirements, depending on the ingredient or commodity. These contracts are considered normal purchases. In addition to entering into forward purchase contracts, from time to time we may purchase over-the-counter contracts with our qualified banking partners or exchange-traded commodity futures contracts for raw materials that are ingredients of our products or components of such ingredients. Certain of the contracts offset the risk of increases in our commodity costs and

are designated as hedging instruments when appropriate. Other contracts may be executed related to certain customer pricing arrangements. We have not designated such contracts as hedging instruments; therefore, the contracts are marked to market at each reporting period, and a derivative asset or liability is recorded on our balance sheet. A summary of these open commodities contracts recorded at fair value in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is included in the table below.

Although we may utilize forward purchase contracts and other instruments to mitigate the risks related to commodity price fluctuations, such strategies do not fully mitigate commodity price risk. Adverse movements in commodity prices over the terms of the contracts or instruments could decrease the economic benefits we derive from these strategies.

Foreign Currency — Sales in foreign countries, as well as certain expenses related to those sales, are transacted in currencies other than our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. Our foreign currency exchange rate risk is primarily limited to the Euro and the British Pound. We may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates or enter into forward currency exchange contracts to hedge our net investment and intercompany payable or receivable balances in foreign operations. See the table below for a summary of the foreign currency related financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2011. We did not have any outstanding foreign currency related financial instruments at December 31, 2010.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our derivatives recorded at fair value in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were:

(1) Derivative assets and liabilities that have settlement dates equal to or less than 12 months from the respective balance sheet date were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) Derivative assets and liabilities that have settlement dates greater than 12 months from the respective balance sheet date were included in identifiable intangible and other assets, net and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were:

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30

(1) Recorded in interest expense in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2) Recorded in selling and distribution or cost of sales, depending on commodity type, in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Based on current interest rates, commodity prices and exchange rates, we estimate that $51.4 million of hedging activity related to our interest rate swaps, $0.9 million of hedging activity related to our commodities contracts and $0.2 million of hedging activity related to our foreign currency contracts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income within the next 12 months.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering assumptions, we follow a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

• Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

A summary of our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value as of June 30, 2011		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Due to their near-term maturities, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered equivalent to fair value. In addition, because the interest rates on our senior secured credit facility and certain other debt are variable, their fair values approximate their carrying values.

The fair value of our Dean Foods Company senior notes and subsidiary senior notes was determined based on quoted market prices. The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of our senior and subsidiary senior notes at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

employees to our performance over a three-year period. The performance metric, as defined in the award, is the performance of our stock price relative to that of a peer group of companies. The range of payout under the award is between 0% and 200% and is payable in cash at the end of each respective performance period. The fair value of the awards is measured at each reporting period. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding liability, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes CPU activity during the first six months of 2011:

8. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period. Stock option conversions and stock units were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, as we incurred a loss for these periods and any effect on EPS would have been anti-dilutive. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted EPS:

10. Facility Closing and Reorganization Costs

Approved plans within our multi-year initiatives and related charges are summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30					Six Months Ended June 30
	2011			2010		2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar:
Closure of facilities(1)	$	12,425		$	2,009	$	13,505		$	3,560
Broad-based reduction of facility and distribution personnel(2)		—			4,500		(281	)		4,500
Organization Optimization Initiative(3)		119			—		1,892			—

Total	$	21,226		$	6,509	$	31,869		$	8,060

(1) These charges in 2011 and 2010 primarily relate to facility closures in Newport, Kentucky; Baxley, Georgia; Florence, South Carolina; and Flint, Michigan, as well as previously announced closures. We have incurred $52.6 million of charges related to these initiatives to date. We expect to incur additional charges related to these facility closures of $2.9 million, related to shutdown and other costs. As we continue the evaluation of our supply chain described more fully below it is likely that we will close additional facilities in the future.

(2) Charges in 2010 relate to a plan to reduce the workforce within our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment impacting approximately 230 positions. Implementation began during the second quarter of 2010 and was carried out over the balance of the year. The reduction in workforce affected employees across the country and was a result of operational changes from supply chain initiatives. The workforce reduction costs related to this plan were part of an existing benefit arrangement; therefore, the full amount of expected severance benefits was accrued during the second quarter of 2010. We incurred a total of $3.1 million related to this initiative and do not expect to incur any additional charges going forward; however, additional supply chain initiatives are expected to result in further broad-based reductions of facility and distribution personnel throughout 2011 and 2012. As the specifics of such initiatives are being developed, the charges expected are not currently estimable.

(3) In the first quarter of 2011 we initiated a significant cost reduction program that is incremental to our other ongoing cost-savings initiatives. This initiative is focused on permanently removing costs out of our business through organizational and corporate departmental redesigns, driven by process simplification and standardization, centralization of activities and reorganization to drive growth in our core customers and categories. As part of this program, we expect to eliminate approximately 125 corporate and field positions by the end of the third quarter of 2011. The charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 relate to workforce reduction costs associated with the first two tranches of this program and include costs associated with eliminating the position filled by our then President and Chief Operating Officer. We have incurred $16.2 million of charges related to this initiative to date. Because each tranche is individually approved, future costs are not yet estimable.

(4) In 2010, as a result of peer comparisons and our ongoing cost control initiatives, our management team approved a multi-year cost reduction plan aimed at centralization and process improvement, as well as

business unit and functional organization redesigns. Charges in 2011 relate to workforce reduction costs associated with this plan. The plan was implemented during the fourth quarter of 2010 beginning with the redesign of certain functions within human resources, legal and finance. The plan is ultimately expected to result in the elimination of approximately 150 to 200 positions throughout 2011 and 2012 as each function reorganizes its processes in line with the peer comparisons and internally developed functional blueprints as approved by an executive operating team. We have incurred $5.3 million of charges related to this initiative to date. As these individual plans and terminations are not yet approved, future costs are not yet estimable.

We are currently working through a multi-year initiative to optimize our manufacturing and distribution capabilities. This initiative will have multiple phases as we evaluate and modify historical activities surrounding purchasing, support, and decision-making infrastructure, supply chain, selling organization, brand building and product innovation. These initiatives will require investments in people, systems, tools and facilities. As a direct result of these initiatives, over the next several years, we will incur additional facility closing and reorganization costs, including:

• One-time termination benefits to employees;

• Write-down of operating assets prior to the end of their respective economic useful lives;

• Shutdown costs, including those costs necessary to prepare abandoned facilities for closure; and

• Costs incurred after shutdown, such as lease obligations or termination costs, utilities and property taxes.

We consider several factors when evaluating a potential facility closure, including, among other things, the impact of such a closure on our customers, the impact on production, distribution and overhead costs, the investment required to complete any such closure and the impact on future investment decisions. Some facility closures are pursued to improve our operating cost structure, while others enable us to avoid unnecessary capital expenditures, allowing us to more prudently invest our capital expenditure dollars in our production facilities and better serve our customers.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 with respect to facility closing and reorganization costs is summarized below and includes items expensed as incurred:

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Obligations Related to Divested Operations — We have divested certain businesses in prior years. In each case, we have retained certain known contingent obligations related to those businesses and/or assumed an obligation to indemnify the purchasers of the businesses for certain unknown contingent liabilities, including environmental liabilities. We believe that we have established adequate reserves, which are immaterial to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for potential liabilities and indemnifications related to our divested businesses. Moreover, we do not expect any liability that we may have for these retained liabilities, or any indemnification liability, to materially exceed amounts accrued.

Contingent Obligations Related to Milk Supply Arrangements — On December 21, 2001, in connection with our acquisition of Legacy Dean, we purchased Dairy Farmers of America’s (“DFA”) 33.8% interest in our operations. In connection with that transaction, we issued a contingent, subordinated promissory note to DFA in the original principal amount of $40 million. The promissory note has a 20-year term that bears interest based on the consumer price index. Interest will not be paid in cash but will be added to the principal amount of the note annually, up to a maximum principal amount of $96 million. We may prepay the note in whole or in part at any time without penalty. The note will only become payable if we materially breach or terminate one of our related milk supply agreements with DFA without renewal or replacement. Otherwise, the note will expire in 2021, without any obligation to pay any portion of the principal or interest. We have not terminated or materially breached any of our related milk supply agreements with DFA related to the promissory note. We have previously terminated unrelated supply agreements with respect to several plants that were supplied by DFA. In connection with our goals of accelerated cost control and increased supply chain efficiency, we continue to evaluate our sources of raw milk supply.

Insurance — We retain selected levels of property and casualty risks, primarily related to employee health care, workers’ compensation claims and other casualty losses. Many of these potential losses are covered under conventional insurance programs with third-party carriers with high deductible limits. In other areas, we are self-insured. We believe that we have established adequate reserves to cover these claims.

Leases and Purchase Obligations — We lease certain property, plant and equipment used in our operations under both capital and operating lease agreements. Such leases, which are primarily for machinery, equipment and vehicles, have lease terms ranging from one to 20 years. We did not have any material capital lease obligations as of June 30, 2011. Certain of the operating lease agreements require the payment of additional rentals for maintenance, along with additional rentals based on miles driven or units produced. Certain leases require us to guarantee a minimum value of the leased asset at the end of the lease. Our maximum exposure under those guarantees is not a material amount.

We have entered into various contracts, in the normal course of business, obligating us to purchase minimum quantities of raw materials used in our production and distribution processes, including diesel fuel, soybeans and organic raw milk. We enter into these contracts from time to time to ensure a sufficient supply of raw ingredients. In addition, we have contractual obligations to purchase various services that are part of our production process.

Litigation, Investigations and Audits — We are not party to, nor are our properties the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings, other than as set forth below:

Tennessee Dairy Farmer Actions and Related Mississippi Action

We were named, along with several other defendants, in two putative class action antitrust complaints filed on July 5, 2007. The complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of

34

DEAN FOODS COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

(Unaudited)

Tennessee, Columbia Division, and allege generally that we and others in the milk industry worked together to limit the price Southeastern dairy farmers are paid for their raw milk and to deny these farmers access to fluid Grade A milk processing facilities. Four additional putative class action complaints were filed in 2007 and 2008 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division. The allegations in these complaints are similar to those in the dairy farmer actions. All six of the class actions (collectively, the “dairy farmer actions”) were consolidated and were transferred to the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division. Class certification in the dairy farmer actions was granted in September 2010.

On July 12, 2011, we announced that we entered into a settlement agreement with the class plaintiffs in the dairy farmer actions. On July 14, 2011, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee granted preliminary approval of the class-wide settlement agreement and stayed the dairy farmer action with respect to the Company. Under the proposed settlement agreement, we agreed to pay a total of up to $140 million over a period of four to five years into a fund for distribution to dairy farmer class members in a number of Southeastern states. On July 21, 2011, we made an initial payment of $60 million into an escrow account, to be distributed following the Court’s final approval, and issued a standby letter of credit in the amount of $80 million to support the subsequent payments due under the agreement. The settlement agreement calls for us to make a payment of up to $20 million on each of the following four anniversaries of the settlement agreement’s final approval date.

On July 28, 2011, the Court issued an order partially decertifying the dairy farmer plaintiff class with which we had previously entered into the settlement agreement. The plaintiffs have filed a motion that the Court re-consider its decertification order. In order to pursue a final and certain resolution of this matter consistent with the settlement agreement, we have filed a motion with the Court concerning the impact of the decertification order on our settlement agreement, including whether the settlement agreement remains appropriately and adequately enforceable against the entire original plaintiff class. The motion is scheduled to be heard by the Court on August 12, 2011. Until we have further clarification, there can be no assurance that the settlement agreement will receive final approval in its current form, or at all.

We have recorded a $131.3 million charge and a corresponding liability for the present value of our obligations under the settlement agreement, based on imputed interest computed at a rate of 4.77%, which approximates our like-term incremental fixed rate borrowing cost.

On April 26, 2011, we, along with our Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Engles, and other defendants, were named in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, Hattiesburg Division. The allegations in this complaint are similar to those in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. In addition, plaintiffs have alleged generally that defendants committed civil violations of the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), as well as common law fraud. Plaintiffs are seeking treble damages for the alleged antitrust and RICO violations, and compensatory and consequential damages for the common law fraud claim. With respect to the antitrust allegations in the complaint, the plaintiffs’ proposed geographic market in the Mississippi action is identical to the geographic market alleged in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. Mississippi farmers who would be included in the class proposed in the Mississippi action would likely also be included in the class certified in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. Members of the Tennessee class who failed to exclude themselves from that class, or who excluded themselves but are permitted to opt back into that class for purposes of the settlement with Dean, will be bound by the settlement in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions when it is approved, which should release and extinguish any claims asserted by them in the Mississippi action.

At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Tennessee Retailer and Indirect Purchaser Actions

A putative class action antitrust complaint (the “retailer action”) was filed on August 9, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. Plaintiffs allege generally that we, either acting alone or in conjunction with others in the milk industry who are also defendants in the retailer action, lessened competition in the Southeastern United States for the sale of processed fluid Grade A milk to retail outlets and other customers, and that the defendants’ conduct also artificially inflated wholesale prices for direct milk purchasers. Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in the retailer action is still pending. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment in the retailer action was granted in part and denied in part in August 2010. Defendants filed a motion for reconsideration on September 10, 2010, and filed a supplemental motion for summary judgment as to the remaining claims on September 27, 2010. Those motions are currently pending before the Court. The Court has not set a trial date yet for the retailer action.

On June 29, 2009, another putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division, on behalf of indirect purchasers of processed fluid Grade A milk (the “indirect purchaser action”). The allegations in this complaint are similar to those in the retailer action, but primarily involve state law claims. Because the allegations in the indirect purchaser action substantially overlap with the allegations in the retailer action, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to stay all proceedings in the indirect purchaser action pending the outcome of the summary judgment motions in the retailer action. At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Vermont Dairy Farmer Action

On October 8, 2009, we were named, among several defendants, in a putative class action antitrust complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Vermont. The original complaint was amended on January 21, 2010, and contained allegations similar in nature to that of the dairy farmer actions (discussed above), and alleges generally that we and others in the milk industry worked together to limit the price dairy farmers in the Northeastern United States are paid for their raw milk and to deny these farmers access to fluid Grade A milk processing facilities. A second similar complaint was filed by a different plaintiff on January 14, 2010. The Company reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle all claims against the Company in this action. On May 4, 2011, the court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, certifying the settlement class, and staying further proceedings against the Company in the matter. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $30 million into an escrow fund pending final approval of the settlement agreement. The court convened a final fairness hearing on July 18, 2011 for the purpose of evaluating the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement, and granted final approval of the settlement on August 3, 2011.

Foremost Action

On January 22, 2010, the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the States of Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan (“Plaintiff States”) filed a civil action in the Eastern District of Wisconsin (“DOJ lawsuit”) alleging that the Company violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act when it acquired the Consumer Products Division of Foremost Farms USA on April 1, 2009 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $35 million. On March 29, 2011, the Company reached agreements with the DOJ and the Plaintiff States to settle the DOJ lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlements, the Company is required to divest its fluid milk operations in Waukesha, Wisconsin, comply with certain margin limitations on the sale of school milk in the Upper Peninsula

of Michigan, and provide prior notification of certain acquisitions of assets of, or interests in, fluid milk processing plants. On July 29, 2011, the court granted final approval of the settlement with the DOJ. Pursuant to the order, the Company was required to complete its divestiture of the facility within five days of entry of the final judgment, or August 3, subject to extension upon agreement by the DOJ. On August 3, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party for the sale of the Waukesha facility. The DOJ has agreed to grant additional time to the Company to complete the divestiture.

Stockholder Derivative Action

In April 2009, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed purportedly on behalf of the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville division, naming the Company’s then current directors, as well as an officer of the Company, and a former director among the defendants. The complaint alleged that the officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company under Delaware law by approving the 2001 merger between the former Dean Foods Company and Suiza Foods Corporation, and allegedly participating in, or failing to prevent, a purported conspiracy to fix the price of Grade A milk. The complaint was transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas in March 2010. On January 26, 2011, the court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. In March 2011, plaintiffs made a demand that the Company conduct an investigation of substantially similar allegations. In response to the demand, a special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company was established to conduct its own independent review of the allegations made in the demand letter. The special committee consists of independent board members not named in the litigation.

Kohler Mix Action

On January 18, 2008, our subsidiary, Kohler Mix Specialties, LLC (“Kohler”), was named as a defendant in a civil complaint filed in the Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford. The plaintiff in the case is the Commissioner of Environmental Protection of the State of Connecticut. The complaint alleges generally that Kohler improperly discharged wastewater into the waters of the State of Connecticut, and bypassed certain wastewater treatment equipment in violation of certain Connecticut environmental regulations and Kohler’s wastewater discharge permit. The plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties with respect to the claims. On December 14, 2009, Kohler filed its answer to the complaint. Pre-trial hearing is set for August 24, 2011.

At this time, it is not possible for us to predict the ultimate outcome of the matters set forth above.

Other than the matters set forth above, we are party from time to time to certain claims, litigations, audits and investigations. Potential liabilities associated with the other matters referred to in this paragraph are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are in varying stages of discussion with numerous states to determine whether we have complied with state unclaimed property laws. Most, but not all of these states, have appointed an agent to conduct an examination of our books and records. In addition to seeking remittance of unclaimed property, some states may also seek interest and penalties. We have reached an agreement in principle to settle the State of Delaware’s claims. The settlement amount is not material to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At this time, it is not possible for us to predict the ultimate combined outcome of the remaining examinations.

Our products are primarily delivered through what we believe to be one of the most extensive refrigerated direct store delivery (“DSD”) systems in the United States.

WhiteWave manufactures, develops, markets and sells a variety of nationally branded plant-based beverages and other soy products, including Silk plant-based beverages such as soy, almond and coconut milks and cultured soy products; dairy and dairy-related products, such as Horizon Organic milk and other dairy products; and International Delight coffee creamers and LAND O LAKES creamers and fluid dairy products. Alpro is a leading provider of branded soy-based beverages and food products in Europe and markets its products under the Alpro and Provamel brands. WhiteWave-Alpro sells its products to a variety of customers, including grocery stores, club stores, natural foods stores, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, drug stores and foodservice outlets. The majority of the WhiteWave-Alpro products are delivered through warehouse delivery systems.

We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives related to our 50% owned joint venture between WhiteWave and Hero Group including, but not limited to, selling our interest in this operation. There can be no assurance that a transaction will occur with respect to the joint venture.

During the second quarter of 2010, we committed to a plan to sell the business operations of Rachel’s, which provided organic branded dairy-based chilled yogurt, milk and related dairy products primarily in the United Kingdom. The sale of these operations was completed on August 4, 2010. All Rachel’s operations, previously reported within the WhiteWave-Alpro segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. See Note 2.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on sales and operating income or loss before gains and losses on the sale of businesses, facility closing and reorganization costs, litigation settlements and foreign exchange gains and losses. The reporting segments do not include an allocation of the costs related to shared services such as audit services, corporate development, human resources, strategy, tax or treasury. In addition, the expense related to share-based compensation has not been allocated to our segments and is reflected entirely within the caption “Corporate and Other”. Therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented below is before such items. Additionally, a portion of our WhiteWave-Alpro products are sold through our DSD network. Those sales, together with their related costs, are included in the WhiteWave-Alpro segment for reporting purposes.

Business Overview

We are one of the largest food and beverage companies in the United States, as well as a global leader in branded plant-based beverages such as soy, almond and coconut milks and soy-based food products. We align our leadership teams, operating strategies, and supply chain initiatives around our two lines of business: Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar and WhiteWave-Alpro.

Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar — Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar is our largest segment, with approximately 84% of our consolidated net sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of branded and private label dairy case products, including milk, ice cream, cultured dairy products, creamers, ice cream mix and other dairy products to retailers, distributors, foodservice outlets, educational institutions and governmental entities across the United States. These products are distributed under well-recognized regional brands such as Country Fresh^®, Dean’s^®, Garelick Farms^®, Mayfield^® and Oak Farms^®, as well as familiar local brands and private labels. Additionally, we recently introduced TruMoo^®, our new chocolate milk made with fewer calories, less sugar and no high fructose corn syrup. Due to the perishable nature of its products, Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar delivers the majority of its products directly to its customers’ locations in refrigerated trucks or trailers that we own or lease. We believe that Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar has one of the most extensive refrigerated direct store delivery (“DSD”) systems in the United States. Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar sells its products primarily on a local or regional basis through its local and regional sales forces, although some national customer relationships are coordinated by a centralized sales department.

WhiteWave-Alpro — WhiteWave-Alpro’s net sales were approximately 16% of our consolidated net sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. WhiteWave-Alpro includes the results of our Hero/WhiteWave joint venture. WhiteWave manufactures, develops, markets and sells a variety of nationally branded dairy and dairy-related products such as Horizon Organic^® milk and other products, International Delight^® coffee creamers, LAND O LAKES^® creamers and fluid dairy products, Silk^® plant-based beverages, such as soy, almond and coconut milks, and cultured soy products. Alpro manufactures, develops, markets and sells branded soy beverages and soy-based food products across Europe under the Alpro^® and Provamel^® brand names. We license the LAND O LAKES name from a third party. WhiteWave-Alpro sells its products to a variety of customers, including grocery stores, club stores, natural foods stores, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, drug stores

41

and foodservice outlets. WhiteWave-Alpro sells its products primarily through its internal sales forces and independent brokers.

Recent Developments

Competitive Pressures and Consumer Environment — In the first six months of 2011, the industry made progress toward retail and wholesale pricing stabilization, although at historically low levels. Retailers have begun to reduce their deep discount strategy, which has lowered the price gap between private label and branded products. Although the price gap has improved, our regional brands continue to struggle for market share in certain regions.

While we have experienced initial modest stabilization of retail and wholesale pricing pressures, ongoing challenges to our sales volume performance have become more pronounced. The dairy industry continues to experience a reduction in volumes, which impacts our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment. The continued recessionary environment during the second quarter of 2011 continues to have a negative impact on consumer spending, which has had a pronounced impact on the fluid milk category. Our fluid milk volumes were higher than the industry overall in the second quarter of 2011 due to the addition of new customers. Soft volumes across all categories remain our biggest concern over the back half of the year, and we expect this trend to continue in the near term.

In order to further improve profitability and to stabilize margin erosion, we will continue to place an emphasis on cost reduction over the next three to five years. Defined strategies for network optimization and organizational changes are in process to improve performance, and programs have been launched to reduce our total cost to serve and our selling and general and administrative costs. We remain focused on sustaining positive cash flow and net debt reduction. However, until volume trends improve, a significant amount of our cost savings are being offset by the deleverage of our fixed costs, which lessens the impact to our operating income.

Conventional Milk Environment — Conventional milk prices increased sharply in March of this year and continued to increase during the second quarter of 2011. Specifically, Class I and Class II butterfat prices are the highest the industry has experienced in recent history, while the Class I mover and Class I and Class II skim pricing remains significantly higher than 2010. We expect Class I and Class II prices to continue to increase into the third quarter of 2011, before leveling off or slightly declining during the fourth quarter. This significant increase in conventional milk prices is a result of limited inventories of butterfat and nonfat solids coupled with strong demand for butter, nonfat dry milk and cheese both domestically and internationally.

Facility Closing and Reorganization Activities — In an effort to continue to optimize our distribution network, we closed one facility and announced the closure of another facility within Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar during the first six months of 2011. Additionally, we incurred charges related to workforce reductions under our organization optimization and department realignment initiatives. We recorded facility closing and reorganization costs of $31.9 million in the first six months of 2011. We will continue to look for areas of opportunity and will likely incur additional costs related to these efforts and other initiatives in the near term as we look to transform our business.

DOJ Litigation Settlement — We reached a settlement with the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the States of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan in March 2011 related to our acquisition of the Consumer Products Division of Foremost Farms USA in April 2009. Pursuant to the settlement, we agreed to sell the fluid milk operations at our Fresh Dairy Direct manufacturing facility in Waukesha, Wisconsin (“Waukesha”). See Notes 2 and 11 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These operations did not meet the requirements to be accounted for as discontinued operations.

Tennessee Dairy Farmer Action Settlement — On July 12, 2011, we announced that we entered into a settlement agreement with the class plaintiffs in the dairy farmer actions. On July 14, 2011, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee granted preliminary approval of the class-wide settlement

42

agreement and stayed the dairy farmer action with respect to the Company. Under the proposed settlement agreement, we agreed to pay a total of up to $140 million over a period of four to five years into a fund for distribution to dairy farmer class members in a number of Southeastern states. On July 21, 2011, we made an initial payment of $60 million into an escrow account, to be distributed following the Court’s final approval, and issued a standby letter of credit in the amount of $80 million to support the subsequent payments due under the agreement. The settlement agreement calls for us to make a payment of up to $20 million on each of the following four anniversaries of the settlement agreement’s final approval date.

On July 28, 2011, the Court issued an order partially decertifying the dairy farmer plaintiff class with which we had previously entered into the settlement agreement. The plaintiffs have filed a motion that the Court re-consider its decertification order. In order to pursue a final and certain resolution of this matter consistent with the settlement agreement, we have filed a motion with the Court concerning the impact of the decertification order on our settlement agreement, including whether the settlement agreement remains appropriately and adequately enforceable against the entire original plaintiff class. The motion is scheduled to be heard by the Court on August 12, 2011. Until we have further clarification, there can be no assurance that the settlement agreement will receive final approval in its current form, or at all.

We have recorded a $131.3 million charge and a corresponding liability for the present value of our obligations under the settlement agreement, based on imputed interest computed at a rate of 4.77%, which approximates our like-term incremental fixed rate borrowing cost.

Divestiture of Non-core Dairy Operations — As we continue to execute our current business strategy, we have divested and may continue to divest certain of our non-core dairy operations. Previously announced divestitures have had, and potential future divestitures may have, a dilutive impact on our results of operations as we look to focus on our core dairy operations. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we entered into two separate agreements to sell our Mountain High and private label yogurt operations, which were part of our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment. On February 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our Mountain High yogurt operations, and on April 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our private label yogurt operations, recording a gain on both transactions. These operations did not meet the requirements to be accounted for as discontinued operations. See Note 2 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Hero/Whitewave Joint Venture — We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives related to our 50% owned joint venture between WhiteWave and Hero Group including, but not limited to, selling our interest in this operation. There can be no assurance that a transaction will occur with respect to the joint venture.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2010 — Consolidated Results

Net Sales — Net sales by segment are shown in the table below.

	Quarter Ended June 30
	2011		2010		$ Increase		% Increase
	(Dollars in millions)
Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar	$	2,784.7	$	2,495.7	$	289.0		11.6	%

Total	$	3,298.8	$	2,954.7	$	344.1		11.6	%

The change in net sales was due to the following:

	Quarter ended June 30, 2011 vs Quarter ended June 30, 2010
	Volume			Pricing and Product Mix Changes		Total Increase
	(Dollars in millions)
Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar	$	(107.9	)	$	396.9	$	289.0
WhiteWave-Alpro		25.0			30.1		55.1
Total	$	(82.9	)	$	427.0	$	344.1

Consolidated Net Sales — Net sales increased $344.1 million, or 11.6%, during the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to the pass-through of higher commodity costs, partially offset by overall volume declines across most of our dairy categories in our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment.

Cost of Sales — All expenses incurred to bring a product to completion are included in cost of sales, such as raw material, ingredient and packaging costs; labor costs; and plant and equipment costs. Cost of sales increased $336.0 million, or 15.3%, in the second quarter of 2011, from the same period of 2010, primarily due to higher commodity costs, partially offset by lower sales volume in Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar. Conventional milk prices increased sharply in March of this year and continued to increase during the second quarter of 2011. Specifically, Class I and Class II butterfat prices are the highest the industry has experienced in recent history, while the Class I mover and Class I and Class II skim pricing remains significantly higher than 2010. We expect Class I and Class II prices to continue to increase into the third quarter of 2011, before leveling off or slightly declining during the fourth quarter. This significant increase in conventional milk prices is a result of limited inventories of butterfat and nonfat solids coupled with strong demand for butter, nonfat dry milk and cheese both domestically and internationally.

Operating Costs and Expenses — Our operating expenses increased $149.6 million, or 23.9%, in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Significant changes to operating costs and expenses include the following:

• Selling and distribution costs increased $34.4 million driven by higher freight and fuel costs due to continued increases in fuel prices, as well as the overlap of lower workers’ compensation costs. We expect freight and fuel costs to remain elevated through the end of 2011.

• Net facility closing and reorganization costs increased $14.7 million. See Note 10 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our facility closing and reorganization activities.

• We recorded a charge of $131.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 related to a proposed settlement of the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. See Note 11 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the settlement.

45

• Other operating income increased $24.9 million primarily as a result of a net pre-tax gain on the sale of our private label yogurt operations. See Note 2 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our divestitures.

• These increases were partially offset by a decline of $5.7 million in general and administrative costs primarily driven by a decline in professional and consulting fees, partially offset by an increase in personnel-related costs, including incentive-based compensation.

Other (Income) Expense — Excluding a $6.7 million charge in June 2010 for financing charges associated with our senior secured credit facility amendment on June 30, 2010, interest expense increased $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 due to higher average interest rates resulting from the June 30, 2010 credit facility amendment and the December 16, 2010 senior notes issuance, partially offset by lower overall average debt balances, the expiration of $450 million notional amount of our fixed interest rate hedges at the end of 2010 and the expiration of another $250 million notional amount of fixed interest rate hedges at the end of March 2011. In the second quarter of 2011, lower average debt balances resulted from increased free cash flow generation, proceeds from the divestiture of our yogurt operations and the receipt of a federal income tax refund. The sale of our Mountain High operations closed on February 1, 2011, and the sale of our private label yogurt operations closed April 1, 2011. The combined proceeds from the yogurt divestitures and the receipt of the federal income tax refund were approximately $240 million, with all proceeds applied toward debt reduction.

Income Taxes — Income tax benefit was recorded at an effective rate of 33.1% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a 37.8% effective tax expense rate in the same period of 2010. Our effective tax rate varies primarily based on our profitability level and the relative earnings of our business units. In the second quarter of 2011, the relative profitability of our foreign operations increased our tax benefit rate while changes in certain state tax laws decreased our tax benefit rate.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2010 — Results by Segment

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on sales and operating profit or loss before gains and losses on the sale of businesses, facility closing and reorganization costs and foreign exchange gains and losses. In addition, the expense related to share-based compensation has not been allocated to the Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar and WhiteWave-Alpro segments. Therefore, the measurement of segment operating income presented below is before such items.

Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar

The key performance indicators of our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment are sales volumes, gross profit and operating income.

	Quarter Ended June 30
	2011					2010
	Dollars		Percent			Dollars		Percent
	(Dollars in millions)
Net sales	$	2,784.7		100.0	%	$	2,495.7		100.0	%
Cost of sales		2,206.6		79.2			1,911.6		76.6
Gross profit		578.1		20.8			584.1		23.4
Operating costs and expenses		462.4		16.6			437.3		17.5
Total segment operating income	$	115.7		4.2	%	$	146.8		5.9	%

Net Sales — Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s net sales increased $289.0 million, or 11.6%, during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to improved pass-through of higher commodity costs. This increase was partially offset by a 1.1% volume decline in our fresh fluid milk category, which accounts for approximately 70% of our total volume at Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar. Additionally,

46

volume declines in our ice cream and cultured products, as well as the impact of the divestiture of our yogurt operations, contributed to the offset. The industry and our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment continue to experience declining volume trends. The continued recessionary environment during the second quarter of 2011 continues to have a negative impact on consumer spending, which has had a pronounced impact on the fluid milk category. We expect these trends to continue in the near term.

Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar generally increases or decreases the prices of its fluid dairy products on a monthly basis in correlation to fluctuations in the costs of raw materials, packaging supplies and delivery costs. However, in some cases, we are competitively or contractually constrained with respect to the means and/or timing of price increases. This can have a negative impact on our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment’s profitability. The following table sets forth the average monthly Class I “mover” and its components, as well as the average monthly Class II minimum prices for raw skim milk and butterfat for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010:

	Quarter Ended June 30*
	2011		2010		% Change
Class I mover(1)	$	19.83	$	14.10		40.6	%
Class I raw skim milk mover(1)(2)		12.42		8.78		41.5
Class I butterfat mover(2)(3)		2.24		1.61		39.1
Class II raw skim milk minimum(1)(4)		13.01		9.35		39.1
Class II butterfat minimum(3)(4)		2.28		1.68		35.7

* The prices noted in this table are not the prices that we actually pay. The federal order minimum prices applicable at any given location for Class I raw skim milk or Class I butterfat are based on the Class I mover prices plus a location differential. Class II prices noted in the table are federal minimum prices, applicable at all locations. Our actual cost also includes producer premiums, procurement costs and other related charges that vary by location and supplier. Please see “Part I — Item 1. Business — Government Regulation — Milk Industry Regulation” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “— Known Trends and Uncertainties — Prices of Raw Milk and Other Inputs” below for a more complete description of raw milk pricing.

(1) Prices are per hundredweight.

(2) We process Class I raw skim milk and butterfat into fluid milk products.

(3) Prices are per pound.

(4) We process Class II raw skim milk and butterfat into products such as cottage cheese, creams and creamers, ice cream and sour cream.

Cost of Sales — All expenses incurred to bring a product to completion are included in cost of sales, such as raw material, ingredient and packaging costs; labor costs; and plant and equipment costs. Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s cost of sales increased by 15.4% in the second quarter of 2011, substantially due to higher commodity costs. Conventional milk prices increased sharply in March of this year and continued to increase during the second quarter of 2011. Specifically, Class I and Class II butterfat prices are the highest the industry has experienced in recent history, while the Class I mover and Class I and Class II skim pricing remains significantly higher than 2010. We expect Class I and Class II prices to continue to increase into the third quarter of 2011, before leveling off or slightly declining during the fourth quarter. This significant increase in conventional milk prices is a result of limited inventories of butterfat and nonfat solids coupled with strong demand for butter, nonfat dry milk and cheese both domestically and internationally.

Gross Profit — Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s gross profit percentage decreased to 20.8% in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to 23.4% in the same period of 2010. Gross profit trended downward due to weak volumes resulting from declining demand and the continued recessionary environment. Although we have seen some initial indications of retail and wholesale price stabilization in the second quarter of 2011, we expect the overall challenging trends to continue. In addition, rising non-dairy input costs, such as packaging materials, have impacted our gross profit, as our pass-through of the full impact of these commodities’ volatility to our

customers has been limited. We continue to focus on cost control and supply chain efficiency through cost-cutting initiatives, improved effectiveness in the pass-through of costs to our customers, as well as our continued focus on driving productivity and efficiency within our operations.

Operating Costs and Expenses — Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s operating costs and expenses increased by 5.7% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010 driven by higher selling and distribution expenses. Selling and distribution costs increased $24.4 million, driven by higher freight and fuel costs due to continued increases in fuel prices, as well as the overlap of lower workers’ compensation costs. We expect freight and fuel costs to remain elevated through the end of 2011.

WhiteWave-Alpro

The results of our Rachel’s operations, previously reported in our WhiteWave-Alpro segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. See Note 2 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The key performance indicators of our WhiteWave-Alpro segment are sales volumes, net sales dollars, gross profit and operating income.

	Quarter Ended June 30

	Dollars		Percent			Dollars		Percent
	(Dollars in millions)
Net sales	$	514.1		100.0	%	$	459.0		100.0	%

Total segment operating income	$	44.1		8.6	%	$	39.1		8.6	%

Net Sales — Net sales of our WhiteWave-Alpro segment increased $55.1 million, or 12.0%, in the second quarter of 2011, driven by mid single-digit volume growth, coupled with pricing actions in response to higher commodity costs. Sales for the Horizon Organic business and creamers business, including the International Delight and LAND O LAKES brands, grew in the mid-teens, while Silk sales increased in the mid single-digits. Alpro sales increased low single-digits compared to the second quarter in the prior year on a currency-adjusted basis.

Cost of Sales — WhiteWave-Alpro’s cost of sales increased 14.1% in the second quarter of 2011 from the second quarter of 2010. This increase was primarily driven by sales volume growth and higher commodity input costs.

Gross Profit — WhiteWave-Alpro’s gross profit percentage decreased to 35.3% in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to 36.5% in the second quarter of 2010, driven by increased commodity input costs and changes in the mix of products sold. We continue to take proactive steps to manage our organic milk supply in the short-term, and we remain focused on maintaining our leading branded position in the organic milk category.

Operating Costs and Expenses — WhiteWave-Alpro’s operating costs and expenses increased by 7.1% during the second quarter of 2011 from the same period of 2010. Significant changes to operating costs and expenses are summarized below:

• Selling and distribution costs increased $10.1 million, driven by higher freight costs. In addition, WhiteWave experienced increased outside storage facility costs and related distribution costs due to capacity constraints. We expect such outside storage costs to decrease as we realize additional capacity when our newly constructed manufacturing facility becomes operational.

48

• General and administrative costs slightly decreased by $1.0 million, primarily driven by a decrease in personnel-related costs.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 — Consolidated Results

Net Sales — Net sales by segment are shown in the table below.

	Six Months Ended June 30
	2011		2010		$ Increase		% Increase
	(Dollars in millions)
Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar	$	5,328.0	$	4,982.8	$	345.2		6.9	%
WhiteWave-Alpro		1,020.7		933.0		87.7		9.4	%
Total	$	6,348.7	$	5,915.8	$	432.9		7.3	%

The change in net sales was due to the following:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 vs Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
	Volume			Pricing and Product Mix Changes		Total Increase
	(Dollars in millions)
Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar	$	(201.6	)	$	546.8	$	345.2
WhiteWave-Alpro		47.4			40.3		87.7
Total	$	(154.2	)	$	587.1	$	432.9

Consolidated net sales increased $432.9 million, or 7.3%, during the first half of 2011, as compared to the first half of 2010, primarily due to the pass-through of higher commodity costs, partially offset by overall volume declines across most of our dairy categories in our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment.

Cost of Sales — All expenses incurred to bring a product to completion are included in cost of sales, such as raw material, ingredient and packaging costs; labor costs; and plant and equipment costs. Cost of sales increased $422.2 million, or 9.6%, in the six months quarter of 2011, from the first six months of 2010, primarily due to higher commodity costs, partially offset by lower sales volumes at Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar. Conventional milk prices increased sharply in March of this year and continued to increase during the second quarter of 2011. Specifically, Class I and Class II butterfat prices are the highest the industry has experienced in recent history, while the Class I mover and Class I and Class II skim pricing remains significantly higher than 2010. We expect Class I and Class II prices to continue to increase into the third quarter of 2011, before leveling off or slightly declining during the fourth quarter. This significant increase in conventional milk prices is a result of limited inventories of butterfat and nonfat solids coupled with strong demand for butter, nonfat dry milk and cheese both domestically and internationally.

Operating Costs and Expenses — Our operating expenses increased $165.7 million, or 13.2%, in the first six months of 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Significant changes to operating costs and expenses include the following:

• Selling and distribution costs increased $47.5 million driven by higher freight and fuel costs due to continued increases in fuel prices and increased personnel-related costs, largely due to increased incentive-based compensation, as well as the overlap of lower workers’ compensation costs. These costs were partially offset by a decrease in marketing costs. We expect freight and fuel costs to remain elevated through the end of 2011.

49

• General and administrative costs increased $7.9 million primarily driven by higher personnel-related costs, including incentive-based compensation, as well as a write-down of certain corporate assets which are held for sale at June 30, 2011. These increases were partially offset by an overall decline in professional and consulting fees.

• Net facility closing and reorganization costs increased $23.8 million. See Note 10 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our facility closing and reorganization activities.

• We recorded a charge of $131.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 related to a proposed settlement of the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. See Note 11 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the settlement.

• Other operating income increased $44.4 million as a result of a net pre-tax gain on the sale of our Mountain High and private label yogurt operations and the write-down of long lived assets related to our Waukesha operations, which are classified as held for sale at June 30, 2011. See Note 2 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our divestitures.

Other (Income) Expense — Excluding a $6.7 million charge in June 2010 for financing costs associated with our June 30, 2010 senior secured credit facility amendment, interest expense increased $22.1 million in the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010 due to higher average interest rates resulting from the credit facility amendment and the December 16, 2010 senior notes issuance, partially offset by lower overall average debt balances, the expiration of $450 million notional amount of our fixed interest rate hedges at the end of 2010 and the expiration of another $250 million notional amount of fixed interest rate hedges at the end of March 2011. In the second quarter of 2011, lower average debt balances resulted from increased free cash flow generation, proceeds from the divestiture of our yogurt operations and the receipt of a federal income tax refund. The sale of our Mountain High operations closed on February 1, 2011, and the sale of our private label yogurt operations closed April 1, 2011. The combined proceeds from the yogurt divestitures and the receipt of the federal income tax refund were approximately $240 million, with all proceeds applied toward debt reduction.

Income Taxes — Income tax benefit was recorded at an effective rate of 23.1% in the first six months of 2011 compared to a 36.8% effective tax expense rate in the same period of 2010. Our effective tax rate varies primarily based on our profitability level and the relative earnings of our business units. In the first six months of 2011, the impact of changes in certain state tax laws on comparatively low income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes decreased our tax benefit rate. Favorable settlements of taxing authority examinations decreased our tax expense rate for the first six months of 2010.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 — Results by Segment

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on sales and operating profit or loss before gains and losses on the sale of businesses, facility closing and reorganization costs and foreign exchange gains and losses. In addition, the expense related to share-based compensation has not been allocated to the Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar and WhiteWave-Alpro segments. Therefore, the measurement of segment operating income presented below is before such items.

Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar

The key performance indicators of our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment are sales volumes, gross profit and operating income.

	Six Months Ended June 30
	2011					2010
	Dollars		Percent			Dollars		Percent
	(Dollars in millions)
Net sales	$	5,328.0		100.0	%	$	4,982.8		100.0	%

Total segment operating income	$	227.2		4.2	%	$	273.6		5.5	%

Net Sales — Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s net sales increased $345.2 million, or 6.9%, during the six months of 2011 versus the first six months of 2010 primarily due to improved pass-through of higher commodity costs, partially offset by a 1.8% volume decline in our fresh fluid milk category, which accounts for approximately 70% of our total volume at Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar. Additionally, volume declines in our ice cream and cultured products, as well as the impact of our divestiture of our yogurt operations, contributed to the offset. The industry and our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment continue to experience declining volume trends. The continued recessionary environment during the first half of 2011 continues to have a negative impact on consumer spending, which has had a pronounced impact on the fluid milk category. We expect these trends to continue in the near term.

Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar generally increases or decreases the prices of its fluid dairy products on a monthly basis in correlation to fluctuations in the costs of raw materials, packaging supplies and delivery costs. However, in some cases, we are competitively or contractually constrained with respect to the means and/or timing of price increases. This can have a negative impact on our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment’s profitability. The following table sets forth the average monthly Class I “mover” and its components, as well as the average monthly Class II minimum prices for raw skim milk and butterfat for the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010:

	Six Months Ended June 30*
	2011		2010		% Change
Class I mover(1)	$	18.14	$	14.42		25.8	%
Class I raw skim milk mover(1)(2)		11.11		9.34		19.0
Class I butterfat mover(2)(3)		2.12		1.55		36.8
Class II raw skim milk minimum(1)(4)		11.76		9.82		19.8
Class II butterfat minimum(3)(4)		2.25		1.58		42.4

* The prices noted in this table are not the prices that we actually pay. The federal order minimum prices applicable at any given location for Class I raw skim milk or Class I butterfat are based on the Class I mover prices plus a location differential. Class II prices noted in the table are federal minimum prices, applicable at all locations. Our actual cost also includes producer premiums, procurement costs and other related charges that vary by location and supplier. Please see “Part I — Item 1. Business — Government Regulation — Milk Industry Regulation” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “— Known Trends and Uncertainties — Prices of Raw Milk and Other Inputs” below for a more complete description of raw milk pricing.

(1) Prices are per hundredweight.

(2) We process Class I raw skim milk and butterfat into fluid milk products.

(3) Prices are per pound.

51

(4) We process Class II raw skim milk and butterfat into products such as cottage cheese, creams and creamers, ice cream and sour cream.

Cost of Sales — All expenses incurred to bring a product to completion are included in cost of sales, such as raw material, ingredient and packaging costs; labor costs; and plant and equipment costs. Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s cost of sales increased by 9.3% in the first half of 2011, substantially due to higher commodity costs. Conventional milk prices increased sharply in March of this year and continued to increase during the second quarter of 2011. Specifically, Class I and Class II butterfat prices are the highest the industry has experienced in recent history, while the Class I mover and Class I and Class II skim pricing remains significantly higher than 2010. We expect Class I and Class II prices to continue to increase into the third quarter of 2011, before leveling off or slightly declining during the fourth quarter. This significant increase in conventional milk prices is a result of limited inventories of butterfat and nonfat solids coupled with strong demand for butter, nonfat dry milk and cheese both domestically and internationally.

Gross Profit — Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s gross profit percentage decreased to 21.5% in the first six months of 2011 as compared to 23.2% in the first six months of 2010. Gross profit trended downward due to weak volumes resulting from declining demand and the continued recessionary environment. Although we have seen some initial indications of retail and wholesale price stabilization in the first half of 2011, we expect the overall challenging trends to continue. In addition, rising non-dairy input costs, such as packaging materials, have impacted our gross profit, as our pass-through of the full impact of these commodities’ volatility to our customers has been limited. We continue to focus on cost control and supply chain efficiency through cost-cutting initiatives, improved effectiveness in the pass-through of costs to our customers, as well as our continued focus on driving productivity and efficiency within our operations.

Operating Costs and Expenses — Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s operating costs and expenses increased by 4.2% in the first six months of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010. Significant changes to operating costs and expenses include the following:

• Selling and distribution costs increased $35.5 million, driven by higher fuel and freight costs as a result of continued increases in fuel prices, as well as the overlap of lower workers’ compensation costs. In addition, increases in personnel-related costs, primarily due to incentive-based compensation, and professional and consulting fees contributed to the increase. We expect fuel and freight costs to remain elevated through the end of 2011.

• General and administrative costs slightly increased by $2.0 million due to increased incentive-based compensation expense.

WhiteWave-Alpro

The results of our Rachel’s operations, previously reported in our WhiteWave-Alpro segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. See Note 2 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The key performance indicators of our WhiteWave-Alpro segment are sales volumes, net sales dollars, gross profit and operating income.

Net Sales — Net sales of our WhiteWave-Alpro segment increased $87.7 million, or 9.4%, in the first six months of 2011, driven by mid single-digit volume growth, coupled with pricing actions in response to higher commodity costs. Sales for the Horizon Organic business grew in the mid-teens, while creamers business sales, including International Delight and LAND O LAKES brands, increased in the high single-digits and Silk sales increased in the low single-digits. Alpro sales increased mid single-digits on a currency-adjusted basis.

Cost of Sales — WhiteWave-Alpro’s cost of sales increased 11.7% in the first half of 2011 from the first half of 2010. This increase was primarily driven by sales volume growth and higher commodity input costs.

Gross Profit — WhiteWave-Alpro’s gross profit percentage decreased to 35.5% in the first six months of 2011 as compared to 36.9% in the same period of 2010, driven by increased commodity costs and changes in the mix of products sold.

Operating Costs and Expenses — WhiteWave-Alpro’s operating costs and expenses increased by 3.8% during the first six months of 2011 from the same period of 2010. Significant changes to operating costs and expenses are summarized below:

• Selling and distribution costs increased $12.2 million, driven by increased freight costs. In addition, WhiteWave continues to experience increased outside storage facility costs and related distribution costs due to capacity constraints. We expect such storage costs to decrease as we realize additional capacity when our newly constructed manufacturing facility becomes operational. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in marketing costs.

• General and administrative costs decreased $2.2 million, primarily driven by a decrease in personnel-related costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our cash on hand, coupled with future cash flows from operations and other available sources of liquidity, including our amended and restated $1.5 billion senior secured revolving credit facility and our 364-day $600 million receivables-backed facility, will provide sufficient liquidity to allow us to meet our cash requirements in the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2011, approximately $94 million of our total cash on hand of $116 million was attributable to our foreign operations and is considered to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. Our anticipated uses of cash include capital expenditures, working capital needs, pension contributions and financial obligations. On an ongoing basis, we will evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, repurchasing shares of our common stock, as well as other transactions to create shareholder value and enhance financial performance. Such transactions may require cash expenditures or generate proceeds.

At June 30, 2011, we had $3.8 billion of outstanding debt obligations, cash on hand of $116 million and an additional $1.5 billion of combined available future borrowing capacity under our existing senior secured revolving credit facility and receivables-backed facility, subject to compliance with the covenants in our credit agreements. Based on our current expectations, we believe our liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient to operate our business. However, we may, from time to time, raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The amount, nature and timing of any borrowings or sales of debt or equity securities will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and overall market conditions.

Our credit agreement permits us to complete acquisitions that meet all of the following conditions without obtaining prior approval from our lenders: (1) the acquired company is involved in the manufacture, processing and distribution of food or packaging products or any other line of business in which we were engaged as of April 2007, (2) the net cash purchase price for any single acquisition is not greater than $500 million and not greater than $100 million if our leverage ratio is greater than 4.50 times, (3) we acquire at least 51% of the

53

acquired entity, (4) the transaction is approved by the board of directors or shareholders, as appropriate, of the target and (5) after giving effect to such acquisition on a pro-forma basis, we would have been in compliance with all financial covenants. All other acquisitions must be approved in advance by the required lenders.

The senior secured credit facility contains limitations on liens, investments and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, prohibits certain dispositions of property and restricts certain payments, including dividends. There are no restrictions on these certain payments, including dividends, when our leverage ratio is below 4.50 times. The senior secured credit facility is secured by liens on substantially all of our domestic assets including the assets of our subsidiaries, but excluding the capital stock of subsidiaries of the former Dean Foods Company (“Legacy Dean”), and the real property owned by Legacy Dean and its subsidiaries.

Under the senior secured credit facility, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants, including, but not limited to, maximum senior secured leverage, maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios, each as defined under and calculated in accordance with the terms of our senior secured credit facility and our receivables-backed facility. Our leverage ratio at June 30, 2011 was 4.95 times consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters. The maximum permitted leverage ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters was 5.75 times as of June 30, 2011 and decreases to 5.50 times as of March 31, 2012, with periodic decreases thereafter. As described in more detail in our amended and restated credit agreement, the leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness, less restricted subsidiary cash up to $100 million, to consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the measurement date. Consolidated funded indebtedness is comprised of our outstanding indebtedness and the outstanding indebtedness of certain of our subsidiaries. Consolidated EBITDA is comprised of our net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization expense and certain other non-cash expenses, and add-backs resulting from acquisition related non-recurring charges and certain of our subsidiaries and is calculated on a pro-forma basis to give effect to any acquisitions, divestitures or relevant changes in our composition or certain of our subsidiaries. In addition, the calculation of consolidated EBITDA may include adjustments related to other charges reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent. We have received confirmation from the administrative agent that the charges resulting from payment of the settlement amounts related to the Vermont and Tennessee dairy farmer actions described in Note 11 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will be treated as an adjustment to consolidated EBITDA.

Our senior secured leverage ratio at June 30, 2011 was 3.58 times consolidated funded senior secured indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters. The maximum permitted senior secured leverage ratio of consolidated funded senior secured indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the prior four consecutive quarters allowed was 4.25 times as of June 30, 2011 and decreases to 3.75 times as of March 31, 2012, with an additional decrease thereafter. This ratio is calculated as the ratio of consolidated funded senior secured indebtedness, less restricted subsidiary cash up to $100 million, to consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the measurement date. Consolidated funded senior secured indebtedness is comprised of our outstanding senior secured indebtedness and the outstanding indebtedness of certain of our subsidiaries. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated as described above in the discussion of our leverage ratio.

Our interest coverage ratio at June 30, 2011 was 3.10 times consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for the prior four consecutive quarters. The minimum permitted interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for the prior four consecutive quarters was 2.50 times as of June 30, 2011 and increases to 2.75 times as of March 31, 2012, with an additional increase thereafter. This ratio is calculated as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the measurement date. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated as described above in the discussion of our leverage ratio. Consolidated interest expense is comprised of consolidated interest expense paid or payable in cash, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but excluding non-cash losses from foreign exchange translations or swap agreements and third party fees and expenses related to acquisitions, investments, dispositions and the incurrence or early extinguishment of indebtedness.

We are currently in compliance with all covenants in our credit agreements, and based on our internal projections we expect to maintain such compliance for the foreseeable future.

As discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we completed the sale of our Mountain High yogurt operations on February 1, 2011. We used the proceeds of approximately $85 million to prepay a portion of the outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings under our senior secured credit facility.

On April 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our private label yogurt operations and used the proceeds of approximately $93 million for additional debt repayments, including the full repayment of the remaining outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings. Additionally, in April 2011, we received a federal income tax refund of approximately $62 million, which we used to pay down a portion of the outstanding balances under our senior secured revolving credit facility and receivables-backed facility.

At June 30, 2011, $531.3 million was available under the receivables-backed facility, with $933.6 million also available under the senior secured revolving credit facility, subject to compliance with the covenants in our credit agreements. Availability under the receivables-backed facility is calculated using the current receivables balance for the seller entities, less adjustments for vendor concentration limits, reserve requirements, and other adjustments as described in our amended and restated receivables repurchase agreement. Availability under the senior secured revolving credit facility is calculated using the total commitment amount less current borrowings and outstanding letters of credit. Assuming additional borrowings were not utilized to acquire incremental EBITDA, of this combined amount, $606.9 million was then available to us to finance working capital and other general corporate purposes. At July 29, 2011, approximately $461 million, subject to compliance with the covenants in our credit agreements and assuming additional borrowings were not utilized to acquire incremental EBITDA, was available to finance working capital and other general corporate purposes under the receivables-backed and revolving credit facilities.

Historical Cash Flow

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include amounts related to discontinued operations. The discontinued operations had an insignificant impact on the cash flows from operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. See Note 2 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding cash flows related to discontinued operations.

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

	Six Months Ended June 30
	2011			2010			Change
	(In thousands)
Net cash flows from:
Operating activities	$	179,648		$	243,486		$	(63,838	)
Investing activities		71,644			(107,812	)		179,456
Financing activities		(230,741	)		(116,681	)		(114,060	)
Discontinued operations		—			660			(660	)

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	23,800		$	16,057		$	7,743

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows were lower than the prior year due to higher inventory and receivables levels, driven primarily by the increase in commodity costs in the first half of the year, and a $30 million litigation settlement payment in May 2011. These decreases in cash flows from operations were partially offset by the receipt of a $62.4 million federal income tax refund in April 2011.

55

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased during the first six months of 2011 primarily due to cash proceeds from the sale of our Mountain High and private label yogurt operations and a trademark. See Notes 2 and 4 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding these sales.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased during the first half of 2011 primarily due to a net repayment of debt of approximately $240 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to net debt repayments of approximately $89 million in the first six months of 2010 and the payment of $34 million of deferred financing costs related to the June 2010 amendment of our senior secured credit facility. Cash proceeds from the sale of our yogurt operations and the cash received from a federal income tax refund in April were utilized to make portions of the debt repayments made in 2011.

Contractual Obligations

Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the information provided with respect to our contractual obligations, including indebtedness and purchase and lease obligations, as disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the first half of 2011, we used the proceeds from the sale of our yogurt operations of approximately $178 million for debt repayments, including the full repayment of our outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings. See Note 5 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our debt obligations.

On July 12, 2011, we announced that we entered into a settlement agreement with the class plaintiffs in the dairy farmer actions. On July 14, 2011, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee granted preliminary approval of the class-wide settlement agreement and stayed the dairy farmer action with respect to the Company. Under the proposed settlement agreement, we agreed to pay a total of up to $140 million over a period of four to five years into a fund for distribution to dairy farmer class members in a number of Southeastern states. On July 21, 2011, we made an initial payment of $60 million into an escrow account, to be distributed following the Court’s final approval, and issued a standby letter of credit in the amount of $80 million to support the subsequent payments due under the agreement. The settlement agreement calls for us to make a payment of up to $20 million on each of the following four anniversaries of the settlement agreement’s final approval date.

On July 28, 2011, the Court issued an order partially decertifying the dairy farmer plaintiff class with which we had previously entered into the settlement agreement. The plaintiffs have filed a motion that the Court re-consider its decertification order. In order to pursue a final and certain resolution of this matter consistent with the settlement agreement, we have filed a motion with the Court concerning the impact of the decertification order on our settlement agreement, including whether the settlement agreement remains appropriately and adequately enforceable against the entire original plaintiff class. The motion is scheduled to be heard by the Court on August 12, 2011. Until we have further clarification, there can be no assurance that the settlement agreement will receive final approval in its current form, or at all.

We have recorded a $131.3 million charge and a corresponding liability for the present value of our obligations under the settlement agreement, based on imputed interest computed at a rate of 4.77%, which approximates our like-term incremental fixed rate borrowing cost. See Note 11 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Long-Term Liabilities

We offer pension benefits through various defined benefit pension plans and also offer certain health care and life insurance benefits to eligible employees and their eligible dependents upon the retirement of such employees. Reported costs of providing non-contributory defined pension benefits and other postretirement benefits are dependent upon numerous factors, assumptions and estimates. For example, these costs are impacted by actual employee demographics (including age, compensation levels and employment periods), the level of contributions made to the plan and earnings on plan assets. Pension and postretirement costs also may be significantly affected by changes in key actuarial assumptions, including anticipated rates of return on plan assets and the discount rates used in determining the projected benefit obligation and annual periodic pension costs.

We expect to contribute approximately $12.1 million to the pension plans and approximately $2.5 million to the postretirement health plans in 2011.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

On December 21, 2001, in connection with our acquisition of Legacy Dean, we purchased Dairy Farmers of America’s (“DFA”) 33.8% interest in our operations. In connection with that transaction, we issued a contingent, subordinated promissory note to DFA in the original principal amount of $40 million. The promissory note has a 20-year term that bears interest based on the consumer price index. Interest will not be paid in cash but will be added to the principal amount of the note annually, up to a maximum principal amount of $96 million. We may prepay the note in whole or in part at any time, without penalty. The note will only become payable if we materially breach or terminate one of our related milk supply agreements with DFA without renewal or replacement. Otherwise, the note will expire in 2021, without any obligation to pay any portion of the principal or interest. Payments made under the note, if any, would be expensed as incurred. We have not terminated, and we have not materially breached, any of our related milk supply agreements with DFA related to the promissory note. We have previously terminated unrelated supply agreements with respect to several plants that were supplied by DFA. In connection with our goals of accelerated cost control and increased supply chain efficiency, we continue to evaluate our sources of raw milk supply.

We also have the following commitments and contingent liabilities, in addition to contingent liabilities related to ordinary course litigation, investigations and audits:

• certain indemnification obligations related to businesses that we have divested;

• certain lease obligations, which require us to guarantee the minimum value of the leased asset at the end of the lease;

• selected levels of property and casualty risks, primarily related to employee health care, workers’ compensation claims and other casualty losses; and

• certain litigation-related contingencies.

See Note 11 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our commitments and contingent obligations, including our litigation contingencies.

Future Capital Requirements

During 2011, we intend to invest a total of approximately $325 million to $350 million in capital expenditures primarily for our existing manufacturing facilities and distribution capabilities. We expect cash interest to be approximately $240 million to $245 million based upon current debt levels and projected forward interest rates under our senior secured credit facility. Cash interest excludes amortization of deferred financing fees and bond discounts of approximately $15 million. The portion of our long-term debt, as of June 30, 2011, due within the next 12 months totals approximately $158 million. From time to time, we may repurchase our outstanding debt obligations in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

57

We expect that cash flow from operations and borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and our receivables-backed facility will be sufficient to meet our future capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

Prices of Raw Milk and Other Inputs

Conventional Raw Milk and Butterfat — The primary raw material used in Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar’s products is conventional milk (which contains both raw milk and butterfat). The federal government and certain state governments set minimum prices for raw milk, and those prices are set on a monthly basis. The regulated minimum prices differ based on how the raw milk is utilized. Raw milk processed into fluid milk is priced at the Class I price, and raw milk processed into products such as cottage cheese, creams and creamers, ice cream and sour cream is priced at the Class II price. Generally, we pay the federal minimum prices for raw milk, plus certain producer premiums (or “over-order” premiums) and location differentials. We also incur other raw milk procurement costs in some locations (such as hauling, field personnel, etc.). A change in the federal minimum price does not necessarily mean an identical change in our total raw milk costs as over-order premiums may increase or decrease. This relationship is different in every region of the country and sometimes within a region based on supplier arrangements. However, in general, the overall change in our raw milk costs can be linked to the change in federal minimum prices. Because our Class II products typically have a higher fat content than that contained in raw milk, we also purchase bulk cream for use in some of our Class II products. Bulk cream is typically purchased based on a multiple of the AA butter price on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”).

In general, Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar changes the prices charged for Class I dairy products on a monthly basis, as the costs of raw milk, packaging, fuel and other materials fluctuate. Prices for some Class II products are also changed monthly while others are changed from time to time as circumstances warrant. However, there can be a lag between the timing of a raw material cost increase or decrease and a corresponding price change to our customers, especially in the case of Class II butterfat because Class II butterfat prices for each month are not announced by the government until after the end of that month. Also, in some cases, primarily with respect to diesel fuel and other non-dairy inputs, we are competitively or contractually constrained with respect to the implementation of price changes. This can have a negative impact on our profitability and can cause volatility in our earnings. Our sales and operating profit margin fluctuate with the price of our raw materials and other inputs.

Conventional milk prices increased sharply in March of this year and continued to increase during the second quarter of 2011. Specifically, Class I and Class II butterfat prices are the highest the industry has experienced in recent history, while the Class I mover and Class I and Class II skim pricing remains significantly higher than 2010. We expect Class I and Class II prices to continue to increase into the third quarter of 2011, before leveling off or slightly declining during the fourth quarter. This significant increase in conventional milk prices is a result of limited inventories of butterfat and nonfat solids coupled with strong demand for butter, nonfat dry milk and cheese both domestically and internationally.

Organic Raw Milk — The primary raw material used in our organic milk-based products is organic raw milk. We currently purchase approximately 94% of our organic raw milk from a network of approximately 600 dairy farmers across the United States. The balance of our organic raw milk is sourced from two farms that we own and operate. We generally enter into supply agreements with organic dairy farmers with typical terms of two to five years, which obligate us to purchase certain minimum quantities of organic raw milk. The organic dairy industry remains a relatively new category and may experience significant swings in supply and demand. Retail price increases on private label products generally lag that of branded products, causing retail price gaps to expand thereby creating pricing pressures and creating challenges where increasing costs of food and energy drive up the cost of organic milk faster than retail prices can be increased.

Fuel and Resin Costs — Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar purchases diesel fuel to operate its extensive DSD system and incurs fuel surcharge expense related to the products it delivers through third-party carriers.

58

WhiteWave-Alpro primarily relies on third party carriers for product distribution and the transportation agreements typically adjust for movement in diesel prices. Although we may utilize forward purchase contracts and other instruments to mitigate the risks related to commodity price fluctuations, such strategies do not fully mitigate commodity price risk. Adverse movements in commodity prices over the terms of the contracts or instruments could decrease the economic benefits we derive from these strategies. We believe the price of fuel will remain elevated throughout 2011.

Another significant raw material we use is resin, which is a fossil fuel-based product used to make plastic bottles. Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar purchases approximately 28 million pounds of resin and bottles per month. Recently, we have experienced a sharp increase in the price of resin. The prices of diesel and resin are subject to fluctuations based on changes in crude oil and natural gas prices. We believe the prices of diesel and resin will continue to increase in 2011.

Competitive Environment

In the first six months of 2011, the industry made progress toward retail and wholesale pricing stabilization, although at historically low levels. Retailers have begun to reduce their deep discount strategy, which has lowered the price gap between private label and branded products. Although the price gap has improved, our regional brands continue to struggle for market share in certain regions.

While we have experienced initial modest stabilization of retail and wholesale pricing pressures, ongoing challenges to our sales volume performance have become more pronounced. The industry continues to experience a reduction in volumes, which impacts our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment. The continued recessionary environment during the second quarter of 2011 continues to have a negative impact on consumer spending, which has had a pronounced impact on the fluid milk category. Our fluid milk volumes were higher than the industry overall in the second quarter of 2011 due to the addition of new customers. Soft volumes across all categories remain our biggest concern over the back half of the year, and we expect this trend to continue in the near term.

In order to further improve profitability and to stabilize margin erosion, we will continue to place an emphasis on cost reduction over the next three to five years. Defined strategies for network optimization and organizational changes are in process to improve performance, and programs have been launched to reduce our total cost to serve and our selling and general and administrative costs. We remain focused on sustaining positive cash flow and net debt reduction. However, until volume trends improve, a significant amount of our cost savings are being offset by the deleverage of our fixed costs, which lessens the impact to our operating income.

Tax Rate

Income tax benefit was recorded at an effective rate of 23.1% in the first six months of 2011 compared to a 36.8% effective tax expense rate in the first six months of 2010. Changes in the collective and relative profitability of our operating segments, as well as changes to federal, state, and foreign tax laws, may cause the rate to change from historical rates.

See “Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Part II — Item 1A — Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for a description of various other risks and uncertainties concerning our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as provided in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Controls Evaluation and Related Certifications

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, referred to herein as “Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The controls evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based upon our most recent controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our Disclosure Controls were effective as of June 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not party to, nor are our properties the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings, other than as set forth below:

Tennessee Dairy Farmer Actions and Related Mississippi Action

We were named, along with several other defendants, in two putative class action antitrust complaints filed on July 5, 2007. The complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Columbia Division, and allege generally that we and others in the milk industry worked together to limit the price Southeastern dairy farmers are paid for their raw milk and to deny these farmers access to fluid Grade A milk processing facilities. Four additional putative class action complaints were filed in 2007 and 2008 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division. The allegations in these complaints are similar to those in the dairy farmer actions. All six of the class actions (collectively, the “dairy farmer actions”) were consolidated and were transferred to the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division. Class certification in the dairy farmer actions was granted in September 2010.

On July 12, 2011, we announced that we entered into a settlement agreement with the class plaintiffs in the dairy farmer actions. On July 14, 2011, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee granted preliminary approval of the class-wide settlement agreement and stayed the dairy farmer action with respect to the Company. Under the proposed settlement agreement, we agreed to pay a total of up to $140 million over a period of four to five years into a fund for distribution to dairy farmer class members in a number of Southeastern states. On July 21, 2011, we made an initial payment of $60 million into an escrow account, to be distributed following the Court’s final approval, and issued a standby letter of credit in the amount of $80 million to support the subsequent payments due under the agreement. The settlement agreement calls for us to make a payment of up to $20 million on each of the following four anniversaries of the settlement agreement’s final approval date.

On July 28, 2011, the Court issued an order partially decertifying the dairy farmer plaintiff class with which we had previously entered into the settlement agreement. The plaintiffs have filed a motion that the Court re-consider its decertification order. In order to pursue a final and certain resolution of this matter consistent with the settlement agreement, we have filed a motion with the Court concerning the impact of the decertification order on our settlement agreement, including whether the settlement agreement remains appropriately and adequately enforceable against the entire original plaintiff class. The motion is scheduled to be heard by the Court on August 12, 2011. Until we have further clarification, there can be no assurance that the settlement agreement will receive final approval in its current form, or at all.

We have recorded a $131.3 million charge and a corresponding liability for the present value of our obligations under the settlement agreement, based on imputed interest computed at a rate of 4.77%, which approximates our like-term incremental fixed rate borrowing cost.

On April 26, 2011, we, along with our Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Engles, and other defendants, were named in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, Hattiesburg Division. The allegations in this complaint are similar to those in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. In addition, plaintiffs have alleged generally that defendants committed civil violations of the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), as well as common law fraud. Plaintiffs are seeking treble damages for the alleged antitrust and RICO violations, and compensatory and consequential damages for the common law fraud claim. With respect to the antitrust allegations in the complaint, the plaintiffs’ proposed geographic market in the Mississippi action is identical to the geographic market alleged in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. Mississippi farmers who would be included in the class proposed in the Mississippi action would likely also be included in the class certified in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. Members of the Tennessee class who failed to exclude themselves from that class, or who

61

excluded themselves but are permitted to opt back into that class for purposes of the settlement with Dean, will be bound by the settlement in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions when it is approved, which should release and extinguish any claims asserted by them in the Mississippi action.

At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Tennessee Retailer and Indirect Purchaser Actions

A putative class action antitrust complaint (the “retailer action”) was filed on August 9, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. Plaintiffs allege generally that we, either acting alone or in conjunction with others in the milk industry who are also defendants in the retailer action, lessened competition in the Southeastern United States for the sale of processed fluid Grade A milk to retail outlets and other customers, and that the defendants’ conduct also artificially inflated wholesale prices for direct milk purchasers. Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in the retailer action is still pending. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment in the retailer action was granted in part and denied in part in August 2010. Defendants filed a motion for reconsideration on September 10, 2010, and filed a supplemental motion for summary judgment as to the remaining claims on September 27, 2010. Those motions are currently pending before the Court. The Court has not set a trial date yet for the retailer action.

On June 29, 2009, another putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division, on behalf of indirect purchasers of processed fluid Grade A milk (the “indirect purchaser action”). The allegations in this complaint are similar to those in the retailer action, but primarily involve state law claims. Because the allegations in the indirect purchaser action substantially overlap with the allegations in the retailer action, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to stay all proceedings in the indirect purchaser action pending the outcome of the summary judgment motions in the retailer action.

At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Vermont Dairy Farmer Action

On October 8, 2009, we were named, among several defendants, in a putative class action antitrust complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Vermont. The original complaint was amended on January 21, 2010, and contained allegations similar in nature to that of the dairy farmer actions (discussed above), and alleges generally that we and others in the milk industry worked together to limit the price dairy farmers in the Northeastern United States are paid for their raw milk and to deny these farmers access to fluid Grade A milk processing facilities. A second similar complaint was filed by a different plaintiff on January 14, 2010. The Company reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle all claims against the Company in this action. On May 4, 2011, the court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, certifying the settlement class, and staying further proceedings against the Company in the matter. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $30 million into an escrow fund pending final approval of the settlement agreement. The court convened a final fairness hearing on July 18, 2011 for the purpose of evaluating the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement, and granted final approval of the settlement on August 3, 2011.

Foremost Action

On January 22, 2010, the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the States of Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan (“Plaintiff States”) filed a civil action in the Eastern District of Wisconsin (“DOJ lawsuit”) alleging that the Company violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act when it acquired the Consumer Products Division of Foremost Farms USA on April 1, 2009 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $35 million. On March 29, 2011, the Company reached agreements with the DOJ and the Plaintiff States to settle the DOJ lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlements, the Company is required to divest its fluid milk operations in Waukesha, Wisconsin, comply with certain margin limitations on the sale of school milk in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and provide prior notification of certain acquisitions of assets of, or interests in, fluid milk

62

processing plants. On July 29, 2011, the court granted final approval of the settlement with the DOJ. Pursuant to the order, the Company was required to complete its divestiture of the facility within five days of entry of the final judgment, or August 3, subject to extension upon agreement by the DOJ. On August 3, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party for the sale of the Waukesha facility. The DOJ has agreed to grant additional time to the Company to complete the divestiture.

Stockholder Derivative Action

In April 2009, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed purportedly on behalf of the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville division, naming the Company’s then current directors, as well as an officer of the Company, and a former director among the defendants. The complaint alleged that the officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company under Delaware law by approving the 2001 merger between the former Dean Foods Company and Suiza Foods Corporation, and allegedly participating in, or failing to prevent, a purported conspiracy to fix the price of Grade A milk. The complaint was transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas in March 2010. On January 26, 2011, the court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. In March 2011, plaintiffs made a demand that the Company conduct an investigation of substantially similar allegations. In response to the demand, a special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company was established to conduct its own independent review of the allegations made in the demand letter. The special committee consists of independent board members not named in the litigation.

Kohler Mix Action

On January 18, 2008, our subsidiary, Kohler Mix Specialties, LLC (“Kohler”), was named as a defendant in a civil complaint filed in the Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford. The plaintiff in the case is the Commissioner of Environmental Protection of the State of Connecticut. The complaint alleges generally that Kohler improperly discharged wastewater into the waters of the State of Connecticut, and bypassed certain wastewater treatment equipment in violation of certain Connecticut environmental regulations and Kohler’s wastewater discharge permit. The plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties with respect to the claims. On December 14, 2009, Kohler filed its answer to the complaint. Pre-trial hearing is set for August 24, 2011. At this time, it is not possible for us to predict the ultimate outcome of the matters set forth above.

Other than the matters set forth above, we are party from time to time to certain claims, litigations, audits and investigations. Potential liabilities associated with the other matters referred to in this paragraph are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other

We are in varying stages of discussion with numerous states to determine whether we have complied with state unclaimed property laws. Most, but not all, of these states have appointed an agent to conduct an examination of our books and records. In addition to seeking remittance of unclaimed property, some states may also seek interest and penalties. We have reached an agreement in principle to settle the State of Delaware's claims. The settlement amount is not material to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At this time, it is not possible for us to predict the ultimate outcome of the remaining examinations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than as set forth below:

Pending Antitrust Lawsuits May have a Material Adverse Impact on Our Business.

We are the subject of several antitrust lawsuits, the outcome of which we are unable to predict. Increased scrutiny of the dairy industry has resulted, and may continue to result, in litigation against us. Such lawsuits are expensive to defend, divert management’s attention, and may result in significant judgments. In some cases,

63

these awards would be trebled by statute and successful plaintiffs might be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees. Depending on its size, such a judgment could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and impair our ability to continue operations. We may not be able to pay such judgment or to post a bond for an appeal, given our financial condition and our available cash resources. In addition, depending on its size, failure to pay such a judgment or failure to post an appeal bond could cause us to breach certain provisions of our credit facilities. In either of these circumstances, we may seek a waiver of or amendment to the terms of our credit facilities, but there can be no assurance that such a waiver or amendment could be obtained. Failure to obtain such a waiver or amendment would materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and could impair our ability to continue operations.

Moreover, these actions expose us to negative publicity, which might adversely affect our brands, reputation and/or customer preference for our products. In addition, merger and acquisition activities are subject to these antitrust and competition laws, which have impacted, and may continue to impact, our ability to pursue strategic transactions.

Item 5. Other Information

At our annual meeting of stockholders held on May 19, 2011, stockholders voted in favor of holding annual advisory votes on our executive compensation. In consideration of this vote, we intend to hold future advisory votes on our executive compensation on an annual basis.

** The scheduled maturity of a portion of term loan B is April 2, 2017, subject to the condition that we meet certain leverage, debt, cash or credit rating tests following December 31, 2015. However, if at least one of these tests is not met, the maturity date for this portion of term loan B will be April 2, 2016.

Senior Secured Credit Facility — Our senior secured credit facility consists of an original combination of a $1.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility, a $1.5 billion five-year term loan A, and a $1.8 billion seven-year term loan B. In June 2010, we amended and restated the agreement governing the senior secured credit facility, and entered into a further amendment in December 2010, which included extension of the maturity dates for certain principal amounts, amendment of the maximum permitted leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio and the addition of a senior secured leverage ratio (each as defined in our credit agreement), and the amendment of certain other terms. At June 30, 2011, there were outstanding borrowings of $678 million under the term loan A, $1.73 billion under the term loan B and $396 million under the revolving credit facility. Our average daily balance under the revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $125.2 million. Letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $170.3 million were issued under the revolving credit facility but undrawn.

On July 12, 2011, we announced that we entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. As part of the proposed settlement agreement, which has been granted preliminary approval by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, we have issued a standby letter of credit in the amount of $80 million, representing the subsequent payments due under the terms of the settlement agreement. See Note 11 for further information regarding the settlement.

As of July 29, 2011, $121.6 million was outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility, excluding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $250.3 million that were issued but undrawn.

The amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility is available for the issuance of up to $350 million of letters of credit and up to $150 million of swingline loans. No principal payments are due on the revolving credit facility until April 2, 2012, at which time any principal borrowings on a pro rata basis related to the $225 million of non-extended revolving credit facility commitments would become payable. No principal payments are due on the remaining $1.275 billion of extended revolving credit facility commitments until April 2, 2014. The credit agreement requires mandatory principal prepayments upon the occurrence of certain asset sales (provided that such sales, in total, exceed $250 million in any fiscal year), recovery events or as a result of exceeding certain leverage limits.

As discussed in Note 2, on February 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our Mountain High yogurt operations. We used the cash proceeds of approximately $85 million to prepay a portion of the outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings. Additionally, on April 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our private label yogurt operations and used the cash proceeds of approximately $93 million for additional debt repayments, including the full repayment of the remaining outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings.

Our credit agreement permits us to complete acquisitions that meet all of the following conditions without obtaining prior approval from our lenders: (1) the acquired company is involved in the manufacture, processing and distribution of food or packaging products or any other line of business in which we were engaged as of April 2007, (2) the net cash purchase price for any single acquisition is not greater than $500 million and not greater than $100 million if our leverage ratio is greater than 4.50 times, (3) we acquire at least 51% of the acquired entity, (4) the transaction is approved by the board of directors or shareholders, as appropriate, of the target and (5) after giving effect to such acquisition on a pro-forma basis, we would have been in compliance with all financial covenants. All other acquisitions must be approved in advance by the required lenders.

The senior secured credit facility contains limitations on liens, investments and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, prohibits certain dispositions of property and restricts certain payments, including dividends. There are no restrictions on these certain payments, including dividends, when our leverage ratio is below 4.50 times. The senior secured credit facility is secured by liens on substantially all of our domestic assets including the assets of our subsidiaries, but excluding the capital stock of subsidiaries of the former Dean Foods Company ("Legacy Dean"), and the real property owned by Legacy Dean and its subsidiaries.

The credit agreement contains standard default triggers, including without limitation: failure to maintain compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in the credit agreement, default on certain of our other debt, a change in control and certain other material adverse changes in our business. The credit agreement does not contain any requirements to maintain specific credit rating levels, except as described above with respect to determining the maturity date for the 2017 tranche of term loan B.

Receivables-Backed Facility — We have a $600 million receivables securitization facility pursuant to which certain of our subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable to four wholly-owned entities intended to be bankruptcy-remote. The entities then transfer the receivables to third-party asset-backed commercial paper conduits sponsored by major financial institutions. The assets and liabilities of these four entities are fully reflected in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the securitization is treated as a borrowing for accounting purposes. The liquidity termination date for the receivables-backed facility is September 30, 2011. We intend and expect to renew the facility under similar terms currently established at the end of the current term.

The total value of receivables sold to these entities as of June 30, 2011 was $861.7 million. During the first six months of 2011, we borrowed and subsequently repaid $2.5 billion under this facility with no remaining drawn balance at June 30, 2011. Our average daily balance under the receivables-backed facility during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $316.1 million. The facility bears interest at a variable rate based upon commercial paper rates plus an applicable margin. Our ability to re-borrow under this facility is subject to a monthly borrowing base formula. This facility had $531.3 million of availability as of June 30, 2011, based on this formula. As of July 29, 2011, $420.0 million was outstanding under our receivables-backed facility.

We are currently in compliance with all covenants under our credit agreements, and based on our internal projections we expect to maintain such compliance for the foreseeable future.

Dean Foods Company Senior Notes due 2018 — On December 16, 2010, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 9.75% senior unsecured notes. The senior notes were sold in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers and in offshore transactions and were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. On August 3, 2011, we exchanged $400 million of the senior notes for new notes evidencing the same indebtedness and with substantially similar terms as the corresponding series of old notes, except that the new notes are registered under the Securities Act and do not have restrictions on transfer, rights to special interest or registration rights. These notes are our senior unsecured obligations and mature on December 15, 2018 with interest payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2011.

The indenture under which we issued the senior notes due 2018 does not contain financial covenants but does contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain indebtedness, enter into sale-leaseback transactions and engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of our assets. The carrying value of these notes at June 30, 2011 was $400.0 million.

Dean Foods Company Senior Notes due 2016 — On May 17, 2006, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior unsecured notes. The senior unsecured notes mature on June 1, 2016, and interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2006. The indenture under which we issued the senior notes due 2016 does not contain financial covenants but does contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain indebtedness, enter into sale-leaseback transactions and engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of our assets. The carrying value of these notes at June 30, 2011 was $498.9 million.

Subsidiary Senior Notes due 2017 — Legacy Dean had certain senior notes outstanding at the time of its acquisition, of which one series ($142 million aggregate principal amount) remains outstanding with a maturity date of October 15, 2017. The carrying value of these notes at June 30, 2011 was $128.3 million at 6.90% interest.

The indenture governing the Legacy Dean senior notes does not contain financial covenants but does contain certain restrictions, including a prohibition against Legacy Dean and its subsidiaries granting liens on certain of their real property interests and a prohibition against Legacy Dean granting liens on the stock of its subsidiaries. The Legacy Dean senior notes are not guaranteed by Dean Foods Company or Legacy Dean's wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Capital Lease Obligations and Other — Capital lease obligations and other subsidiary debt includes various promissory notes for financing current year property and casualty insurance premiums, as well as the purchase of property, plant and equipment and capital lease obligations. The various promissory notes payable provide for interest at varying rates and are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest until maturity, when the remaining principal balances are due. Capital lease obligations represent machinery and equipment financing obligations, which are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest and are collateralized by the related assets financed. See Note 11.

Alpro Revolving Credit Facility — On July 8, 2011, Alpro N.V. renewed its multicurrency revolving credit facility for borrowings in an amount not to exceed €1 million (or its currency equivalent). The facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by Dean Foods Company and various Alpro N.V. subsidiaries. Proceeds under the facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of Alpro N.V. The subsidiary revolving credit facility is available for the issuance of up to €1 million of letters of credit. No principal payments are due under the subsidiary revolving credit facility until maturity on July 2, 2012. At June 30, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

Interest Rate Agreements — See Note 6 for information related to interest rate swap arrangements associated with our debt.

Guarantor Information — The 2016 and 2018 senior notes described above are our unsecured obligations and are fully and unconditionally, joint and severally guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries other than our receivables securitization subsidiaries.

The following condensed consolidating financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Dean Foods Company ("Parent"), the wholly-owned subsidiary guarantors of the Dean Foods Company senior notes due 2016 and 2018 and separately the combined results of the wholly-owned subsidiaries that are not a party to the guarantees. The wholly-owned non-guarantor subsidiaries reflect certain foreign and other operations, including our Hero/WhiteWave joint venture, in addition to our receivables securitization subsidiaries. We do not allocate interest expense from the receivables-backed facility to the receivables securitization subsidiaries. Therefore, the interest costs related to this facility are reflected within the guarantor financial information presented.

10. Facility Closing and Reorganization Costs

Approved plans within our multi-year initiatives and related charges are summarized as follows:

	2011			2010		2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar:

Total	$	21,226		$	6,509	$	31,869		$	8,060

(1) These charges in 2011 and 2010 primarily relate to facility closures in Newport, Kentucky; Baxley, Georgia; Florence, South Carolina; and Flint, Michigan, as well as previously announced closures. We have incurred $52.6 million of charges related to these initiatives to date. We expect to incur additional charges related to these facility closures of $2.9 million, related to shutdown and other costs. As we continue the evaluation of our supply chain described more fully below it is likely that we will close additional facilities in the future.

(2) Charges in 2010 relate to a plan to reduce the workforce within our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment impacting approximately 230 positions. Implementation began during the second quarter of 2010 and was carried out over the balance of the year. The reduction in workforce affected employees across the country and was a result of operational changes from supply chain initiatives. The workforce reduction costs related to this plan were part of an existing benefit arrangement; therefore, the full amount of expected severance benefits was accrued during the second quarter of 2010. We incurred a total of $3.1 million related to this initiative and do not expect to incur any additional charges going forward; however, additional supply chain initiatives are expected to result in further broad-based reductions of facility and distribution personnel throughout 2011 and 2012. As the specifics of such initiatives are being developed, the charges expected are not currently estimable.

(3) In the first quarter of 2011 we initiated a significant cost reduction program that is incremental to our other ongoing cost-savings initiatives. This initiative is focused on permanently removing costs out of our business through organizational and corporate departmental redesigns, driven by process simplification and standardization, centralization of activities and reorganization to drive growth in our core customers and categories. As part of this program, we expect to eliminate approximately 125 corporate and field positions by the end of the third quarter of 2011. The charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 relate to workforce reduction costs associated with the first two tranches of this program and include costs associated with eliminating the position filled by our then President and Chief Operating Officer. We have incurred $16.2 million of charges related to this initiative to date. Because each tranche is individually approved, future costs are not yet estimable.

(4) In 2010, as a result of peer comparisons and our ongoing cost control initiatives, our management team approved a multi-year cost reduction plan aimed at centralization and process improvement, as well as business unit and functional organization redesigns. Charges in 2011 relate to workforce reduction costs associated with this plan. The plan was implemented during the fourth quarter of 2010 beginning with the redesign of certain functions within human resources, legal and finance. The plan is ultimately expected to result in the elimination of approximately 150 to 200 positions throughout 2011 and 2012 as each function reorganizes its processes in line with the peer comparisons and internally developed functional blueprints as approved by an executive operating team. We have incurred $5.3 million of charges related to this initiative to date. As these individual plans and terminations are not yet approved, future costs are not yet estimable.

We are currently working through a multi-year initiative to optimize our manufacturing and distribution capabilities. This initiative will have multiple phases as we evaluate and modify historical activities surrounding purchasing, support, and decision-making infrastructure, supply chain, selling organization, brand building and product innovation. These initiatives will require investments in people, systems, tools and facilities. As a direct result of these initiatives, over the next several years, we will incur additional facility closing and reorganization costs, including:

• One-time termination benefits to employees;

• Write-down of operating assets prior to the end of their respective economic useful lives;

• Shutdown costs, including those costs necessary to prepare abandoned facilities for closure; and

• Costs incurred after shutdown, such as lease obligations or termination costs, utilities and property taxes.

We consider several factors when evaluating a potential facility closure, including, among other things, the impact of such a closure on our customers, the impact on production, distribution and overhead costs, the investment required to complete any such closure and the impact on future investment decisions. Some facility closures are pursued to improve our operating cost structure, while others enable us to avoid unnecessary capital expenditures, allowing us to more prudently invest our capital expenditure dollars in our production facilities and better serve our customers.

Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 with respect to facility closing and reorganization costs is summarized below and includes items expensed as incurred:

Nature of Our Business — We are one of the leading food and beverage companies in the United States, as well as a global leader in branded plant-based beverages, such as soy, almond and coconut milks, and soy-based food products. We align our leadership teams, operating strategies and supply chain initiatives around our two lines of business: Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar and WhiteWave-Alpro.

Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar is the largest processor and distributor of milk and other dairy products in the United States, with products such as milk, ice cream, cultured dairy products, creamers, ice cream mix and other dairy products sold under more than 50 familiar local and regional brands and a wide array of private labels.

WhiteWave-Alpro markets and sells a variety of nationally branded dairy and dairy-related products, such as Horizon Organic^® milk and other dairy products, International Delight^® coffee creamers, LAND O LAKES^® creamers and fluid dairy products, Silk^® plant-based beverages, such as soy, almond and coconut milks, and cultured soy products. WhiteWave-Alpro also offers branded soy-based beverages and food products in Europe and markets its products under the Alpro^® and Provamel^® brands.

Basis of Presentation — The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on the same basis as the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the "2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K"), which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2011. In our opinion, we have made all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) in order to present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted. Our results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2011 may not be indicative of our operating results for the full year. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 2011, we have presented an accrual related to a proposed litigation settlement in a new line item entitled current portion of litigation settlements. In prior periods, litigation settlement accruals were presented within the accounts payable and other accrued expenses line item. Our historical balance sheet has been recast to conform to the current presentation. See Note 11 for further information regarding our litigation settlements.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this report to "we," "us" or "our" refer to Dean Foods Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2011, in an effort to assist in the convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update related to "Fair Value Measurements: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." The standard expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes certain other amendments, including a requirement to categorize, by level in the fair value hierarchy, items that are required to be disclosed, but not measured, at fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update related to "Presentation of Comprehensive Income." This standard revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the previously accepted presentation options and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income, or two separate but consecutive statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and requires retrospective application for all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

(1) Pursuant to the terms of our stock option plans, options that are forfeited or canceled may be available for future grants.

We recognize share-based compensation expense for stock options ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of grants issued during these periods:

(1) Pursuant to the terms of our stock unit plans, employees have the option of forfeiting stock units to cover their minimum statutory tax withholding when shares are issued. Stock units that are canceled or forfeited become available for future grants.

Cash Performance Units — We grant awards of cash performance units ("CPUs") as part of our long-term incentive compensation program under the terms of our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"). The CPU awards are cash-settled awards and are designed to link compensation of certain executive officers and other key employees to our performance over a three-year period. The performance metric, as defined in the award, is the performance of our stock price relative to that of a peer group of companies. The range of payout under the award is between 0% and 200% and is payable in cash at the end of each respective performance period. The fair value of the awards is measured at each reporting period. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding liability, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes CPU activity during the first six months of 2011:

	Units
Outstanding at December 31, 2010		10,812,001

Outstanding at June 30, 2011		12,075,084
Vested at June 30, 2011		—

Phantom Shares — We grant phantom shares as part of our long-term incentive compensation program, which are similar to RSUs in that they are based on the price of our stock and vest ratably over a three-year period, but are cash settled based upon the value of our stock at each vesting period. The fair value of the awards is remeasured at each reporting period. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding liability, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the phantom share activity during the first six months of 2011:

Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of branded and private label dairy case products, including milk, ice cream, cultured dairy products, creamers, ice cream mix and other dairy products to retailers, distributors, foodservice outlets, educational institutions and governmental entities across the United States. Our products are primarily delivered through what we believe to be one of the most extensive refrigerated direct store delivery ("DSD") systems in the United States.

WhiteWave manufactures, develops, markets and sells a variety of nationally branded plant-based beverages and other soy products, including Silk plant-based beverages such as soy, almond and coconut milks and cultured soy products; dairy and dairy-related products, such as Horizon Organic milk and other dairy products; and International Delight coffee creamers and LAND O LAKES creamers and fluid dairy products. Alpro is a leading provider of branded soy-based beverages and food products in Europe and markets its products under the Alpro and Provamel brands. WhiteWave-Alpro sells its products to a variety of customers, including grocery stores, club stores, natural foods stores, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, drug stores and foodservice outlets. The majority of the WhiteWave-Alpro products are delivered through warehouse delivery systems.

We are currently evaluating strategic alternatives related to our 50% owned joint venture between WhiteWave and Hero Group including, but not limited to, selling our interest in this operation. There can be no assurance that a transaction will occur with respect to the joint venture.

During the second quarter of 2010, we committed to a plan to sell the business operations of Rachel's, which provided organic branded dairy-based chilled yogurt, milk and related dairy products primarily in the United Kingdom. The sale of these operations was completed on August 4, 2010. All Rachel's operations, previously reported within the WhiteWave-Alpro segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. See Note 2.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on sales and operating income or loss before gains and losses on the sale of businesses, facility closing and reorganization costs, litigation settlements and foreign exchange gains and losses. The reporting segments do not include an allocation of the costs related to shared services such as audit services, corporate development, human resources, strategy, tax or treasury. In addition, the expense related to share-based compensation has not been allocated to our segments and is reflected entirely within the caption "Corporate and Other". Therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented below is before such items. Additionally, a portion of our WhiteWave-Alpro products are sold through our DSD network. Those sales, together with their related costs, are included in the WhiteWave-Alpro segment for reporting purposes.

The amounts in the following tables are obtained from reports used by our executive management team and do not include any allocated income taxes or management fees. There are no significant non-cash items reported in segment profit or loss other than depreciation and amortization.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

8. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period. Stock option conversions and stock units were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, as we incurred a loss for these periods and any effect on EPS would have been anti-dilutive. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted EPS:

Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

6. Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivatives

Interest Rates — We have interest rate swap agreements in place that have been designated as cash flow hedges against variable interest rate exposure on a portion of our debt, with the objective of minimizing the impact of interest rate fluctuations and stabilizing cash flows. These swap agreements provide hedges for interest on our senior secured credit facility by fixing the LIBOR component of interest rates specified in the senior secured credit facility at the interest rates noted below until the indicated expiration dates of these interest rate swap agreements.

The following table summarizes our various interest rate agreements as of June 30, 2011:

Fixed Interest Rates	Expiration Date		Notional Amounts
			(In millions)
4.91%		March 30, 2012	$	1,250
1.60% to 1.84%(1)		December 31, 2013		800
2.75% to 2.84%(1)		March 31, 2016		200
2.70% to 3.17%(1)		March 31, 2017		650

(1) In August 2010 and April 2011, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an effective date of March 30, 2012.

These swaps are recorded as an asset or liability in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent the hedge is effective. Derivative gains and losses included in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings as the underlying transaction occurs. Any ineffectiveness in our hedges is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

We are exposed to market risk under these arrangements due to the possibility of interest rates on our senior secured credit facility rising above the rates on our interest rate swap agreements. Credit risk under these arrangements is believed to be remote as the counterparties to our interest rate swap agreements are major financial institutions; however, if any of the counterparties to our hedging arrangements become unable to fulfill their obligations to us, we may lose the financial benefits of these arrangements.

Commodities — We are exposed to commodity price fluctuations, including milk, soybeans, butterfat, sweeteners and other commodity costs used in the manufacturing, packaging and distribution of our products; including utilities, natural gas, resin and diesel fuel. To secure adequate supplies of materials and bring greater stability to the cost of ingredients and their related manufacturing, packaging and distribution, we routinely enter into forward purchase contracts and other purchase arrangements with suppliers. Under the forward purchase contracts, we commit to purchasing agreed-upon quantities of ingredients and commodities at agreed-upon prices at specified future dates. The outstanding purchase commitment for these commodities at any point in time typically ranges from one month's to one year's anticipated requirements, depending on the ingredient or commodity. These contracts are considered normal purchases. In addition to entering into forward purchase contracts, from time to time we may purchase over-the-counter contracts with our qualified banking partners or exchange-traded commodity futures contracts for raw materials that are ingredients of our products or components of such ingredients. Certain of the contracts offset the risk of increases in our commodity costs and are designated as hedging instruments when appropriate. Other contracts may be executed related to certain customer pricing arrangements. We have not designated such contracts as hedging instruments; therefore, the contracts are marked to market at each reporting period, and a derivative asset or liability is recorded on our balance sheet. A summary of these open commodities contracts recorded at fair value in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is included in the table below.

Although we may utilize forward purchase contracts and other instruments to mitigate the risks related to commodity price fluctuations, such strategies do not fully mitigate commodity price risk. Adverse movements in commodity prices over the terms of the contracts or instruments could decrease the economic benefits we derive from these strategies.

Foreign Currency — Sales in foreign countries, as well as certain expenses related to those sales, are transacted in currencies other than our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. Our foreign currency exchange rate risk is primarily limited to the Euro and the British Pound. We may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates or enter into forward currency exchange contracts to hedge our net investment and intercompany payable or receivable balances in foreign operations. See the table below for a summary of the foreign currency related financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2011. We did not have any outstanding foreign currency related financial instruments at December 31, 2010.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our derivatives recorded at fair value in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were:

	Derivative Assets				Derivative Liabilities
	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010		June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010

(1) Derivative assets and liabilities that have settlement dates equal to or less than 12 months from the respective balance sheet date were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) Derivative assets and liabilities that have settlement dates greater than 12 months from the respective balance sheet date were included in identifiable intangible and other assets, net and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were:

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
	2011		2010		2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Losses on interest rate swap contracts(1)	$	14,731	$	21,961	$	31,771	$	53,185
Gains on commodities contracts(2)		3,554		—		4,606		—

(1) Recorded in interest expense in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2) Recorded in selling and distribution or cost of sales, depending on commodity type, in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Based on current interest rates, commodity prices and exchange rates, we estimate that $51.4 million of hedging activity related to our interest rate swaps, $0.9 million of hedging activity related to our commodities contracts and $0.2 million of hedging activity related to our foreign currency contracts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income within the next 12 months.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering assumptions, we follow a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

• Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

• Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

A summary of our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value as of June 30, 2011		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

A summary of our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value as of December 31, 2010		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Asset — Commodity contracts		4,232		—		4,232		—
Liability — Commodity contracts		947		—		947		—

Due to their near-term maturities, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered equivalent to fair value. In addition, because the interest rates on our senior secured credit facility and certain other debt are variable, their fair values approximate their carrying values.

The fair value of our Dean Foods Company senior notes and subsidiary senior notes was determined based on quoted market prices. The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of our senior and subsidiary senior notes at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Pending and Completed Divestitures

In the first quarter of 2011, we committed to a plan to sell the fluid milk operations at our Fresh Dairy Direct manufacturing facility in Waukesha, Wisconsin ("Waukesha") as a result of the settlement of the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") civil action related to our acquisition of the Consumer Products Division of Foremost Farms USA in April 2009. This operation did not meet the requirements to be accounted for as a discontinued operation. On August 3, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party for the sale of the Waukesha facility. The DOJ has agreed to grant additional time to the Company to complete the divestiture.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we entered into two separate agreements to sell our Mountain High and private label yogurt operations. These operations were a part of our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment. The decision to sell these operations was part of our strategic growth plan and allows us to target our investments in growing our core dairy and branded businesses. These operations did not meet the requirements to be accounted for as discontinued operations.

On February 1, 2011, we completed the sale of our Mountain High yogurt operations for cash proceeds of approximately $85 million. We used the proceeds from the sale to prepay a portion of the outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. We completed the sale of our private label yogurt operations for cash proceeds of approximately $93 million on April 1, 2011 and used these proceeds for additional debt repayments, including the full repayment of the remaining outstanding 2012 tranche A term loan borrowings. See Note 5.

We recorded a net pre-tax gain of $24.9 million and $44.4 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, related to our divestitures and the write down of our Waukesha operations. The gain was recorded in other operating income in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Discontinued Operations

On August 4, 2010 we completed the sale of the business operations of our Rachel's Dairy Companies ("Rachel's"), which provided organic branded dairy-based chilled yogurt, milk and related dairy products primarily in the United Kingdom. As a result of the sale, we recognized a gain of $5.7 million, net of tax, in the third quarter of 2010. The decision to sell Rachel's was part of our strategic growth plan and allows us to target our investments in growing our core dairy and branded businesses. Our Rachel's operations, previously reported within the WhiteWave-Alpro segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.

The following is a summary of the operating results of our Rachel's discontinued operations:

(1) These charges in 2011 and 2010 primarily relate to facility closures in Newport, Kentucky; Baxley, Georgia; Florence, South Carolina; and Flint, Michigan, as well as previously announced closures. We have incurred $52.6 million of charges related to these initiatives to date. We expect to incur additional charges related to these facility closures of $2.9 million, related to shutdown and other costs. As we continue the evaluation of our supply chain described more fully below it is likely that we will close additional facilities in the future.

(2) Charges in 2010 relate to a plan to reduce the workforce within our Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar segment impacting approximately 230 positions. Implementation began during the second quarter of 2010 and was carried out over the balance of the year. The reduction in workforce affected employees across the country and was a result of operational changes from supply chain initiatives. The workforce reduction costs related to this plan were part of an existing benefit arrangement; therefore, the full amount of expected severance benefits was accrued during the second quarter of 2010. We incurred a total of $3.1 million related to this initiative and do not expect to incur any additional charges going forward; however, additional supply chain initiatives are expected to result in further broad-based reductions of facility and distribution personnel throughout 2011 and 2012. As the specifics of such initiatives are being developed, the charges expected are not currently estimable.

(3) In the first quarter of 2011 we initiated a significant cost reduction program that is incremental to our other ongoing cost-savings initiatives. This initiative is focused on permanently removing costs out of our business through organizational and corporate departmental redesigns, driven by process simplification and standardization, centralization of activities and reorganization to drive growth in our core customers and categories. As part of this program, we expect to eliminate approximately 125 corporate and field positions by the end of the third quarter of 2011. The charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 relate to workforce reduction costs associated with the first two tranches of this program and include costs associated with eliminating the position filled by our then President and Chief Operating Officer. We have incurred $16.2 million of charges related to this initiative to date. Because each tranche is individually approved, future costs are not yet estimable.

(4) In 2010, as a result of peer comparisons and our ongoing cost control initiatives, our management team approved a multi-year cost reduction plan aimed at centralization and process improvement, as well as business unit and functional organization redesigns. Charges in 2011 relate to workforce reduction costs associated with this plan. The plan was implemented during the fourth quarter of 2010 beginning with the redesign of certain functions within human resources, legal and finance. The plan is ultimately expected to result in the elimination of approximately 150 to 200 positions throughout 2011 and 2012 as each function reorganizes its processes in line with the peer comparisons and internally developed functional blueprints as approved by an executive operating team. We have incurred $5.3 million of charges related to this initiative to date. As these individual plans and terminations are not yet approved, future costs are not yet estimable.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Obligations Related to Divested Operations — We have divested certain businesses in prior years. In each case, we have retained certain known contingent obligations related to those businesses and/or assumed an obligation to indemnify the purchasers of the businesses for certain unknown contingent liabilities, including environmental liabilities. We believe that we have established adequate reserves, which are immaterial to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for potential liabilities and indemnifications related to our divested businesses. Moreover, we do not expect any liability that we may have for these retained liabilities, or any indemnification liability, to materially exceed amounts accrued.

Contingent Obligations Related to Milk Supply Arrangements — On December 21, 2001, in connection with our acquisition of Legacy Dean, we purchased Dairy Farmers of America's ("DFA") 33.8% interest in our operations. In connection with that transaction, we issued a contingent, subordinated promissory note to DFA in the original principal amount of $40 million. The promissory note has a 20-year term that bears interest based on the consumer price index. Interest will not be paid in cash but will be added to the principal amount of the note annually, up to a maximum principal amount of $96 million. We may prepay the note in whole or in part at any time without penalty. The note will only become payable if we materially breach or terminate one of our related milk supply agreements with DFA without renewal or replacement. Otherwise, the note will expire in 2021, without any obligation to pay any portion of the principal or interest. We have not terminated or materially breached any of our related milk supply agreements with DFA related to the promissory note. We have previously terminated unrelated supply agreements with respect to several plants that were supplied by DFA. In connection with our goals of accelerated cost control and increased supply chain efficiency, we continue to evaluate our sources of raw milk supply.

Insurance — We retain selected levels of property and casualty risks, primarily related to employee health care, workers' compensation claims and other casualty losses. Many of these potential losses are covered under conventional insurance programs with third-party carriers with high deductible limits. In other areas, we are self-insured. We believe that we have established adequate reserves to cover these claims.

Leases and Purchase Obligations — We lease certain property, plant and equipment used in our operations under both capital and operating lease agreements. Such leases, which are primarily for machinery, equipment and vehicles, have lease terms ranging from one to 20 years. We did not have any material capital lease obligations as of June 30, 2011. Certain of the operating lease agreements require the payment of additional rentals for maintenance, along with additional rentals based on miles driven or units produced. Certain leases require us to guarantee a minimum value of the leased asset at the end of the lease. Our maximum exposure under those guarantees is not a material amount.

We have entered into various contracts, in the normal course of business, obligating us to purchase minimum quantities of raw materials used in our production and distribution processes, including diesel fuel, soybeans and organic raw milk. We enter into these contracts from time to time to ensure a sufficient supply of raw ingredients. In addition, we have contractual obligations to purchase various services that are part of our production process.

Litigation, Investigations and Audits — We are not party to, nor are our properties the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings, other than as set forth below:

Tennessee Dairy Farmer Actions and Related Mississippi Action

We were named, along with several other defendants, in two putative class action antitrust complaints filed on July 5, 2007. The complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Columbia Division, and allege generally that we and others in the milk industry worked together to limit the price Southeastern dairy farmers are paid for their raw milk and to deny these farmers access to fluid Grade A milk processing facilities. Four additional putative class action complaints were filed in 2007 and 2008 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division. The allegations in these complaints are similar to those in the dairy farmer actions. All six of the class actions (collectively, the "dairy farmer actions") were consolidated and were transferred to the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division. Class certification in the dairy farmer actions was granted in September 2010.

On July 12, 2011, we announced that we entered into a settlement agreement with the class plaintiffs in the dairy farmer actions. On July 14, 2011, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee granted preliminary approval of the class-wide settlement agreement and stayed the dairy farmer action with respect to the Company. Under the proposed settlement agreement, we agreed to pay a total of up to $140 million over a period of four to five years into a fund for distribution to dairy farmer class members in a number of Southeastern states. On July 21, 2011, we made an initial payment of $60 million into an escrow account, to be distributed following the Court's final approval, and issued a standby letter of credit in the amount of $80 million to support the subsequent payments due under the agreement. The settlement agreement calls for us to make a payment of up to $20 million on each of the following four anniversaries of the settlement agreement's final approval date.

On July 28, 2011, the Court issued an order partially decertifying the dairy farmer plaintiff class with which we had previously entered into the settlement agreement. The plaintiffs have filed a motion that the Court re-consider its decertification order. In order to pursue a final and certain resolution of this matter consistent with the settlement agreement, we have filed a motion with the Court concerning the impact of the decertification order on our settlement agreement, including whether the settlement agreement remains appropriately and adequately enforceable against the entire original plaintiff class. The motion is scheduled to be heard by the Court on August 12, 2011. Until we have further clarification, there can be no assurance that the settlement agreement will receive final approval in its current form, or at all.

We have recorded a $131.3 million charge and a corresponding liability for the present value of our obligations under the settlement agreement, based on imputed interest computed at a rate of 4.77%, which approximates our like-term incremental fixed rate borrowing cost.

On April 26, 2011, we, along with our Chief Executive Officer, Gregg Engles, and other defendants, were named in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, Hattiesburg Division. The allegations in this complaint are similar to those in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. In addition, plaintiffs have alleged generally that defendants committed civil violations of the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), as well as common law fraud. Plaintiffs are seeking treble damages for the alleged antitrust and RICO violations, and compensatory and consequential damages for the common law fraud claim. With respect to the antitrust allegations in the complaint, the plaintiffs' proposed geographic market in the Mississippi action is identical to the geographic market alleged in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. Mississippi farmers who would be included in the class proposed in the Mississippi action would likely also be included in the class certified in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions. Members of the Tennessee class who failed to exclude themselves from that class, or who excluded themselves but are permitted to opt back into that class for purposes of the settlement with Dean, will be bound by the settlement in the Tennessee dairy farmer actions when it is approved, which should release and extinguish any claims asserted by them in the Mississippi action.

At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Tennessee Retailer and Indirect Purchaser Actions

A putative class action antitrust complaint (the "retailer action") was filed on August 9, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. Plaintiffs allege generally that we, either acting alone or in conjunction with others in the milk industry who are also defendants in the retailer action, lessened competition in the Southeastern United States for the sale of processed fluid Grade A milk to retail outlets and other customers, and that the defendants' conduct also artificially inflated wholesale prices for direct milk purchasers. Plaintiffs' motion for class certification in the retailer action is still pending. Defendants' motion for summary judgment in the retailer action was granted in part and denied in part in August 2010. Defendants filed a motion for reconsideration on September 10, 2010, and filed a supplemental motion for summary judgment as to the remaining claims on September 27, 2010. Those motions are currently pending before the Court. The Court has not set a trial date yet for the retailer action.

On June 29, 2009, another putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville Division, on behalf of indirect purchasers of processed fluid Grade A milk (the "indirect purchaser action"). The allegations in this complaint are similar to those in the retailer action, but primarily involve state law claims. Because the allegations in the indirect purchaser action substantially overlap with the allegations in the retailer action, the Court granted the parties' joint motion to stay all proceedings in the indirect purchaser action pending the outcome of the summary judgment motions in the retailer action. At this time, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Vermont Dairy Farmer Action

On October 8, 2009, we were named, among several defendants, in a putative class action antitrust complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Vermont. The original complaint was amended on January 21, 2010, and contained allegations similar in nature to that of the dairy farmer actions (discussed above), and alleges generally that we and others in the milk industry worked together to limit the price dairy farmers in the Northeastern United States are paid for their raw milk and to deny these farmers access to fluid Grade A milk processing facilities. A second similar complaint was filed by a different plaintiff on January 14, 2010. The Company reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle all claims against the Company in this action. On May 4, 2011, the court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, certifying the settlement class, and staying further proceedings against the Company in the matter. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $30 million into an escrow fund pending final approval of the settlement agreement. The court convened a final fairness hearing on July 18, 2011 for the purpose of evaluating the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement, and granted final approval of the settlement on August 3, 2011.

Foremost Action

On January 22, 2010, the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the States of Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan ("Plaintiff States") filed a civil action in the Eastern District of Wisconsin ("DOJ lawsuit") alleging that the Company violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act when it acquired the Consumer Products Division of Foremost Farms USA on April 1, 2009 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $35 million. On March 29, 2011, the Company reached agreements with the DOJ and the Plaintiff States to settle the DOJ lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlements, the Company is required to divest its fluid milk operations in Waukesha, Wisconsin, comply with certain margin limitations on the sale of school milk in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and provide prior notification of certain acquisitions of assets of, or interests in, fluid milk processing plants. On July 29, 2011, the court granted final approval of the settlement with the DOJ. Pursuant to the order, the Company was required to complete its divestiture of the facility within five days of entry of the final judgment, or August 3, subject to extension upon agreement by the DOJ. On August 3, 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party for the sale of the Waukesha facility. The DOJ has agreed to grant additional time to the Company to complete the divestiture.

Stockholder Derivative Action

In April 2009, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed purportedly on behalf of the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Greeneville division, naming the Company's then current directors, as well as an officer of the Company, and a former director among the defendants. The complaint alleged that the officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company under Delaware law by approving the 2001 merger between the former Dean Foods Company and Suiza Foods Corporation, and allegedly participating in, or failing to prevent, a purported conspiracy to fix the price of Grade A milk. The complaint was transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas in March 2010. On January 26, 2011, the court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. In March 2011, plaintiffs made a demand that the Company conduct an investigation of substantially similar allegations. In response to the demand, a special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company was established to conduct its own independent review of the allegations made in the demand letter. The special committee consists of independent board members not named in the litigation.

Kohler Mix Action

On January 18, 2008, our subsidiary, Kohler Mix Specialties, LLC ("Kohler"), was named as a defendant in a civil complaint filed in the Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford. The plaintiff in the case is the Commissioner of Environmental Protection of the State of Connecticut. The complaint alleges generally that Kohler improperly discharged wastewater into the waters of the State of Connecticut, and bypassed certain wastewater treatment equipment in violation of certain Connecticut environmental regulations and Kohler's wastewater discharge permit. The plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties with respect to the claims. On December 14, 2009, Kohler filed its answer to the complaint. Pre-trial hearing is set for August 24, 2011.

At this time, it is not possible for us to predict the ultimate outcome of the matters set forth above.

Other than the matters set forth above, we are party from time to time to certain claims, litigations, audits and investigations. Potential liabilities associated with the other matters referred to in this paragraph are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other

We are in varying stages of discussion with numerous states to determine whether we have complied with state unclaimed property laws. Most, but not all of these states, have appointed an agent to conduct an examination of our books and records. In addition to seeking remittance of unclaimed property, some states may also seek interest and penalties. We have reached an agreement in principle to settle the State of Delaware's claims. The settlement amount is not material to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At this time, it is not possible for us to predict the ultimate combined outcome of the remaining examinations.

(1) We wrote off $4.6 million of indefinite-lived intangibles and $1.5 million of net finite-lived intangibles during the first six months of 2011 related to the divestitures disclosed in Note 2. The increase in the gross carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite lives is primarily the result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

(2) In the first six months of 2011, we sold a trademark with a gross carrying amount of $7.5 million.

Amortization expense on intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $5.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Estimated aggregate intangible asset amortization expense for the next five years is as follows (in millions):

Leases and Purchase Obligations — We lease certain property, plant and equipment used in our operations under both capital and operating lease agreements. Such leases, which are primarily for machinery, equipment and vehicles, have lease terms ranging from one to 20 years. We did not have any material capital lease obligations as of June 30, 2011. Certain of the operating lease agreements require the payment of additional rentals for maintenance, along with additional rentals based on miles driven or units produced. Certain leases require us to guarantee a minimum value of the leased asset at the end of the lease. Our maximum exposure under those guarantees is not a material amount.

Segment, Geographic and Customers Information

Segment, Geographic and Customers Information

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on sales and operating income or loss before gains and losses on the sale of businesses, facility closing and reorganization costs, litigation settlements and foreign exchange gains and losses. The reporting segments do not include an allocation of the costs related to shared services such as audit services, corporate development, human resources, strategy, tax or treasury. In addition, the expense related to share-based compensation has not been allocated to our segments and is reflected entirely within the caption "Corporate and Other". Therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented below is before such items. Additionally, a portion of our WhiteWave-Alpro products are sold through our DSD network. Those sales, together with their related costs, are included in the WhiteWave-Alpro segment for reporting purposes.

Earnings Per Share (Policy)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2011

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period. Stock option conversions and stock units were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, as we incurred a loss for these periods and any effect on EPS would have been anti-dilutive. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted EPS:
