| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
On June 28, 2012, The Hillshire Brands Company (“Hillshire Brands” or the “company”), formerly named Sara Lee Corporation, completed the previously disclosed spin-off of its international coffee and tea business into an independent public company named D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753, N.V. On July 5, 2012, Hillshire Brands filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose certain historical financial information on a pro forma basis, reflecting the spin-off of D.E MASTER BLENDERS. The July 5, 2012 Form 8-K contained unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements of the company for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and each of the three years ended July 2, 2011, July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the company dated as of March 31, 2012. Hillshire Brands is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose its reported financial results for fiscal 2012 and 2011 (through operating segment income) reflecting the D.E MASTER BLENDERS business as discontinued operations and to reflect several changes to the composition of two of Hillshire Brands’ business segments.
Discontinued Operations
Upon completion of the spin-off of D.E MASTER BLENDERS 1753, N.V., Hillshire Brands classified the historical results of this spun-off business as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The unaudited financial schedules attached as Exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by reference show Hillshire Brands’ revised financial results for net sales and operating segment income after reflecting the results of the international coffee and tea business as discontinued operations for fiscal 2012 and 2011 on a quarterly and full year basis.
Continuing Operations
Hillshire Brands has renamed its two North American business segments. The retail segment, which was formerly referred to as “North American Retail” has been renamed “Retail”. The foodservice segment, which was formerly referred to as “North American Foodservice and Specialty Meats” has been renamed “Foodservice/Other.” The third segment continues to be named “Australian Bakery.”
The company also has slightly modified the composition of two of its segments. The results for the company’s Aidells gourmet sausage business and the Gallo Salame business are now being reported as part of the Retail segment for all periods presented. Previously, these businesses were reported under the Foodservice/Other segment. In addition, the results for the company’s hog, commodity pork and commodity turkey operations and Senseo business (which was exited in March 2012) are now being reported as part of the Foodservice/Other business segment for all periods presented. Previously, these businesses were being reported under the Retail business segment.
