Beginning January 1, 2013, we changed our retail selling costs allocation methodology between segments.  The allocation impacts the net earnings and adjusted EBITDA reported by each segment.  This change increased the net earnings and adjusted EBITDA for the Cheese and Other Dairy-Case Products segment and decreased the net earnings and adjusted EBITDA for the Egg Products and Refrigerated Potato Products segments.  The amounts for the September 29, 2012 three and nine-month periods have been restated to reflect the allocation change.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial indicator used to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.
