The 13% percent increase in pro forma adjusted net sales reflects strong volume growth across the Company’s North American segment, particularly in its Plant-based Foods and Beverages and Coffee Creamers and Beverages platforms, each of which delivered over 20% in pro forma adjusted net sales growth. This strong growth, coupled with continued disciplined cost management, resulted in 31% pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share growth in the third quarter of 2012. At the same time, the Company continued to make significant investments in production capacity, innovation and brand building to drive future growth.

Gregg Engles, Chairman and CEO, said, “Consistent with WhiteWave-Alpro segment results reported by Dean Foods on November 8th as part of its consolidated third quarter financial results, WhiteWave Foods continued to build on its momentum in the third quarter, delivering strong growth across the business. We successfully completed the initial public offering of WhiteWave Foods Class A common stock and have hit the ground running. We are sharply focused on executing our business plans to continue to drive growth and are excited by the prospects ahead.”


Product Category Sales

Pro forma adjusted net sales in North American Plant-based Foods and Beverages, which includes Silk® Soymilk, PureAlmond® and PureCoconut®, increased more than 20 percent in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011, driven primarily by continued strong growth of Silk PureAlmond®.

Alpro’s European Plant-based Foods and Beverages net sales increased high-single digits on a constant currency basis and declined low-single digits on a percentage basis after currency conversion.

Pro forma adjusted net sales in Premium Dairy, which includes Horizon Organic® branded milk and other products, increased mid-single digits on a percentage basis in the third quarter.

Pro forma adjusted net sales in Coffee Creamers and Beverages, which includes coffee creamers under the International Delight®, Land O’Lakes®, Silk® and Horizon Organic® brands, as well as International Delight Iced Coffee®, increased by more than 20 percent in the third quarter.

FOURTH QUARTER 2012 OUTLOOK

Building on its strong third quarter results, the Company expects continued momentum in the fourth quarter of 2012. On a percentage basis, management anticipates pro forma adjusted net sales growth in the low-double digits, pro forma adjusted segment operating income growth in the mid-teens and pro forma adjusted total operating income growth of around twenty percent, resulting in pro forma adjusted diluted EPS of between $0.16 and $0.18 or $0.58 to $0.60 for full year 2012.

CONFERENCE CALL WEBCAST

A webcast to discuss the Company’s financial results and outlook will be held on November 30 at 9:30AM ET and may be heard live by visiting the “Webcast” section of the Company’s website at http://www.thewhitewavefoodscompany.com/investor_relations/. A slide presentation will accompany the webcast. A webcast replay will be available for approximately 45 days following the event within the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The financial information in this release relates to periods that ended prior to the initial public offering representing 13.3% of the economic interest in the Company in October 2012 (the “IPO”) and the separation of our business from Dean Foods’ other businesses. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had nominal assets and no liabilities, and had conducted no operations. In October 2012, in connection with the IPO, Dean Foods contributed the capital stock of its wholly owned subsidiary WWF Operating Company (“WWF Opco”) to the Company. WWF Opco, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, held substantially all of the assets and liabilities related to the Company’s current business. Because a discussion of the Company’s historical results would not be meaningful, except as otherwise indicated, historical financial information in this release relates to WWF Opco.

The historical financial results in this release differ from the results of the WhiteWave-Alpro segment for the same periods previously reported by Dean Foods. A reconciliation between the results reported in this release and the WhiteWave-Alpro segment results reported by Dean Foods is included in the tables below.

In addition to the results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, including pro forma adjusted net sales, pro forma adjusted income from continuing operations and pro forma adjusted diluted net income per share. These non-GAAP measures have been presented on a pro forma adjusted basis as if the Company had operated on an independent and stand-alone basis in all periods presented in order to facilitate meaningful evaluation of our operating performance between periods. These adjustments primarily relate to various commercial arrangements with Dean Foods in connection with the separation of the Company’s business from the rest of Dean Foods’ businesses, increased corporate costs to operate as a stand-alone public company, interest expense, completion of the IPO and the use of proceeds therefrom, non-recurring transaction costs related to the Company’s IPO and equity awards to certain of our executive officers, employees and directors. These adjustments are not necessarily indicative of our future performance and do not reflect what our actual financial performance would have been had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented. Further detail regarding these adjustments is included in the tables below.

Unaudited Pro Forma Adjusted Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The tables below provide certain unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations information and certain unaudited pro forma adjusted condensed consolidated statement of operations information for the periods presented, which have been derived by application of pro forma adjustments described in our prospectus dated October 25, 2012 (the “Prospectus”) related to our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and certain other adjustments described below. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited pro forma adjusted condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented give effect to the IPO and the separation of our business from Dean Foods’ other businesses as if those transactions had occurred or had become effective as of January 1, 2011.

The adjustments below are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and unaudited pro forma adjusted condensed financial information are for illustrative and informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what our financial position or results of operations would have been if we had operated as a stand-alone public company during the periods presented or if the transactions had actually occurred as of the dates indicated, nor do they project our financial position at any future date or our results of operations or cash flows for any future period.

The pro forma adjustments to our historical financial information reflect the separation of our business from Dean Foods’ other businesses, the contribution of our business to us by Dean Foods and the subsequent elimination of Dean Foods’ net investment in us and other adjustments described in the notes to the tables presented.

The additional adjustments to our historical financial information reflect the incremental impact of the transitional sales agreements, stand-alone public company costs, and non-recurring transition costs, all of which are described in the notes to the tables presented. The additional adjustments are incremental to those adjustments applied in the preparation of the “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information” in the Prospectus.

The adjusted results differ from the Company’s results under GAAP due to the following:

 

(a) The adjustment reflects:

 

  i. An agreement with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dean Foods, pursuant to which such Dean Foods subsidiaries will continue to sell and distribute certain WhiteWave products. This agreement modifies our historical intercompany arrangements and reflects new pricing. The net effect of the agreement is an estimated increase in total net sales and an estimated increase in cost of sales for the following periods:

 

   

$26.8 million and $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

   

$6.4 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

 

   

$6.6 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

 

   

$5.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

   

$17.5 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

   

$20.5 million and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

  ii. A manufacturing agreement with a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of Dean Foods pursuant to which such Dean Foods subsidiary will continue manufacturing various WhiteWave products on our behalf. The agreement modifies our historical intercompany arrangements and reflects new pricing. The net effect of the agreement is an estimated increase in cost of sales for the following periods:

 

   

$1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

   

$0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

(b) The adjustment reflects the elimination of license income associated with our intellectual property license agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dean Foods. In connection with the IPO, this agreement has been terminated and we have entered into an agreement to transfer the intellectual property subject to this license agreement to such Dean Foods subsidiary. The effect of this agreement is to eliminate the related party license income for all periods presented.

 

(c) The adjustment reflects:

(e) The adjustment reflects:

 

  i. A transitional sales agreement with a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of Dean Foods whereby the Dean Foods subsidiary will transfer back to us responsibility for its sales and associated costs of certain WhiteWave products. The net effect of the agreement is an estimated increase in total net sales for the following periods:

  ii. A transitional sales agreement with a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of Dean Foods whereby we will transfer to the Dean Foods subsidiary the responsibility for the sales and associated costs of our aerosol whipped topping and other non-core products. The net effect of the agreement is a decrease in total net sales, a decrease in cost of sales, and a decrease in selling and distribution expense for the following periods:

 

   

$31.1 million, $21.8 million and $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

   

$10.5 million, $7.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

All 2011 periods presented include a $2.3 million favorable non-cash settlement of a taxing authority examination.

 

(i) For all periods presented, the number of shares used to compute basic earnings per share is 173,000,000, which is comprised of 23,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (the number of shares outstanding upon completion of our IPO) and 150,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share is 173,655,000, which includes the dilutive impact of RSUs issued as part of the IPO grants.

* See notes to the Reconciliation Table


The historical financial results for WWF Opco differ from the results of the WhiteWave-Alpro segment for the same periods previously reported by Dean Foods in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed on November 8, 2012. The selected data provided in the table above includes the following adjustments that were reflected in the preparation of WWF Opco’s results on a stand-alone basis:

 

  (a) A portion of WhiteWave-Alpro’s products are produced, distributed and sold by Dean Foods’ Fresh Dairy Direct and Morningstar segments. Those sales, together with their related costs, are included in Dean Foods’ historical WhiteWave-Alpro segment for management and segment reporting purposes. The adjustment reflects the elimination of these sales and operating income from WWF Opco’s results.

 

  (b) The adjustment reflects net sales to related parties for WhiteWave-Alpro’s sales of raw materials and finished products to Dean Foods’ Fresh Dairy Direct and Morningstar segments.

 

  (c) The adjustment reflects the elimination of the operations of the Hero joint venture, which have been reclassified as discontinued operations in WWF Opco’s results.

 

  (d) The adjustment reflects income for an intellectual property licensing agreement between WhiteWave-Alpro and Dean Foods’ Morningstar segment, whereby Morningstar has rights to use WhiteWave-Alpro’s intellectual property, in the manufacture of certain products. In connection with the IPO, this agreement has been terminated. In addition, WhiteWave-Alpro has transferred the intellectual property that is the subject of the license agreement to Morningstar.

 

  (e) The adjustments primarily reflect the allocation of corporate and shared service costs to WhiteWave-Alpro. These allocations include costs related to corporate and shared services such as executive management, supply chain, information technology, legal, finance and accounting, investor relations, human resources, risk management, tax, treasury, and other services, as well as stock based compensation expense attributable to WhiteWave-Alpro employees and an allocation of stock based compensation attributable to employees of Dean Foods. These costs increased approximately $12 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012, and approximately $20 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same periods in the prior year, due to $8 million and $12 million, respectively, of transaction costs related to the IPO, in addition to increased long-term incentive compensation and other corporate allocations.
