NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted, except per share data)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of The J. M. Smucker Company (Company, we, us, or our) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2015. For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2014.
Note 2: Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us on May 1, 2017, and will require either retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact the application of ASU 2014-09 will have on our financial statements and disclosures.
Note 3: Acquisitions
On September 2, 2014, we acquired Sahale Snacks, Inc. (Sahale), a privately-held manufacturer and marketer of premium, branded nut and fruit snacks for $80.3. The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation includes total intangible assets of $30.4. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, the excess was allocated to goodwill. Preliminary valuations resulted in Sahale goodwill of $46.9, of which $42.2 was assigned to the U. S. Retail Consumer Foods segment and $4.7 was assigned to the International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment.
The results of operations for the acquired business are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the transaction and did not have a material impact on the quarter ended October 31, 2014, nor expected to materially affect results of operations for the year ending April 30, 2015.
During 2014, we completed two acquisitions for aggregate net cash consideration of $101.8, net of working capital adjustments. Enray Inc. (Enray), a leading manufacturer and marketer of premium organic, gluten-free ancient grain products, was acquired in August 2013. Silocaf of New Orleans, Inc. (Silocaf), a strategic investment related to our green coffee supply chain, was acquired in September 2013.
The purchase price for each business acquired was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocations include total intangible assets of $37.6 for both Enray and Silocaf. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, the excess was allocated to goodwill. Valuations resulted in Enray goodwill of $29.3, which was assigned to the International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment, and Silocaf goodwill of $22.8, which was assigned to the U.S. Retail Coffee segment.

Note 4: Restructuring
During 2010, we announced plans to restructure our coffee and fruit spreads operations as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the long-term strength and profitability of our leading brands. Since then, we expanded our restructuring plan to include the Canadian pickle and condiments operations and the capacity expansion of our peanut butter business. Pickle and condiments production was transitioned to third-party manufacturers during 2012. The consolidation of coffee production in New Orleans, Louisiana, related to these restructuring initiatives is complete, and the transitioned retail and foodservice fruit spreads volume is being produced at our new facility in Orrville, Ohio. All of the impacted facilities have been closed, resulting in the reduction of 850 full-time positions as anticipated.
We expect to incur total restructuring costs of approximately $265.0 for the entire restructuring plan, of which $253.9 has been incurred through October 31, 2014. The majority of the remaining costs are anticipated to be recognized this fiscal year and relate to the conversion of the Memphis, Tennessee, fruit spreads facility into a peanut butter plant.
The following table summarizes the restructuring activity, including the liabilities recorded and the total amount expected to be incurred.

In the three and six months ended October 31, 2014, total restructuring charges of $2.7 and $5.5, respectively, were reported in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income. Of the total restructuring charges, the majority were reported in other special project costs. In the three and six months ended October 31, 2013, total restructuring charges of $6.8 and $12.0, respectively, were reported in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income. Of the total restructuring charges, $2.1 and $3.5 were reported in cost of products sold in the three and six months ended October 31, 2013, respectively, while the remaining charges were reported in other special project costs.
Employee separation costs include severance, retention bonuses, and pension costs. Severance costs and retention bonuses are recognized over the estimated future service period of the affected employees. The obligation related to employee separation costs is included in current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other costs include professional fees, costs related to closing the facilities, and miscellaneous expenditures associated with the restructuring initiative and are expensed as incurred.

Note 5: Common Shares

During the second quarter of 2015, the Board of Directors increased our shares authorized for repurchase by 5.0 million common shares, resulting in approximately 10.0 million common shares available for repurchase. During 2014, we repurchased 4.9 million common shares for $495.0.
Note 6: Reportable Segments
We operate in one industry: the manufacturing and marketing of food products. We have three reportable segments: U.S. Retail Coffee, U.S. Retail Consumer Foods, and International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods. The U.S. Retail Coffee segment primarily represents the domestic sales of Folgers®, Dunkin Donuts®, Millstone®, Café Bustelo®, and Café Pilon® branded coffee; the U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment primarily includes domestic sales of Jif ®, Smuckers®, Pillsbury®, Crisco®, Martha White®, Hungry Jack®, and Eagle Brand® branded products; and the International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment is comprised of products distributed domestically and in foreign countries through retail channels, foodservice distributors and operators (e.g., restaurants, lodging, schools and universities, health care operators), and natural foods stores and distributors.
Segment profit represents net sales, less direct and allocable operating expenses, and is consistent with the way in which we manage our segments. However, we do not represent that the segments, if operated independently, would report operating profit equal to the segment profit set forth below, as segment profit excludes certain operating expenses such as corporate administrative expenses and, effective May 1, 2014, unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative activities. Commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative gains and losses are reported in unallocated derivative gains and losses outside of segment operating results until the related inventory is sold. At that time, we reclassify the hedge gains and losses from unallocated derivative gains and losses to segment profit, allowing our segments to realize the economic effect of the hedge without experiencing any mark-to-market volatility. We would expect that any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of the derivatives would generally be offset by a change in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposures. Prior year results have been modified to exclude the unrealized gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives to conform to the new definition.

The 3.50 percent Senior Notes were issued in a public offering and the remaining Senior Notes were privately placed. The Senior Notes are unsecured and interest is paid semiannually. Scheduled payments are required on the 5.55 percent Senior Notes, of which $75.0 is due on April 1, 2016, and on the 4.50 percent Senior Notes, the first of which is $100.0 due on June 1, 2020. We repaid the 4.78 percent Senior Notes on June 1, 2014. We may prepay at any time all or part of the Senior Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and any applicable make-whole amount.
We have available a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with a group of 11 banks that matures in September 2018. Interest is payable either on a quarterly basis or at the end of the borrowing term. At October 31, 2014, we did not have a balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
During the second quarter of 2015, we entered into a commercial paper program under which we can issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper not to exceed $1.0 billion at any time. The commercial paper program is backed by our revolving credit facility and reduces what we can borrow under the revolving credit facility by the amount of commercial paper outstanding. Commercial paper will be used as a continuing source of short-term financing for general corporate purposes. As of October 31, 2014, we had $545.9 of short-term borrowings outstanding, all of which were issued under our commercial paper program at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.31 percent.

In the second quarter of 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap, with a notional amount of $750.0, on the 3.50 percent Senior Notes due October 15, 2021, converting the Senior Notes from a fixed- to a variable-rate basis. The interest rate swap was designated as a fair value hedge of the underlying debt obligation. At October 31, 2014, a net gain from changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap of $27.4 was recognized in interest expense with a corresponding offset due to changes in the fair value of the hedged underlying debt, resulting in no net impact to interest expense. For additional information, see Note 11: Derivative Financial Instruments.
Interest paid totaled $12.2 and $22.8 for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $36.9 and $45.2 for the six months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This differs from interest expense due to the timing of payments, amortization of fair value adjustments, effect of interest rate swap, amortization of debt issue costs, and interest capitalized.
Our debt instruments contain certain financial covenant restrictions including consolidated net worth, a leverage ratio, and an interest coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all covenants.

Note 10: Contingencies
We, like other food manufacturers, are from time to time subject to various administrative, regulatory, and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are currently a defendant in a variety of such legal proceedings. We cannot predict with certainty the ultimate results of these proceedings or reasonably determine a range of potential loss. Our policy is to accrue costs for contingent liabilities when such liabilities are probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. Based on the information known to date, we do not believe the final outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 11: Derivative Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions. We have policies in place that define acceptable instrument types we may enter into and establish controls to limit our market risk exposure.
Commodity Price Management: We enter into commodity futures and options contracts to manage the price volatility and reduce the variability of future cash flows related to anticipated inventory purchases of key raw materials, notably green coffee, edible oils, and flour. We also enter into commodity futures and options contracts to manage price risk for energy input costs, including natural gas and diesel fuel. The derivative instruments generally have maturities of less than one year.
Effective May 1, 2014, we elected to no longer qualify commodity derivatives for hedge accounting treatment and as a result the derivative gains and losses are immediately recognized in earnings. Prior to 2015, certain of our derivative instruments met the hedge criteria and were accounted for as cash flow hedges. The mark-to-market gains and losses on qualifying hedges were deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent effective, and reclassified to cost of products sold in the period during which the hedged transaction affected earnings. The deferred net gains included in accumulated other
11
Table of Contents
comprehensive loss, net of tax, were $18.3 at April 30, 2014, and $6.5 at October 31, 2014. Although we no longer perform the assessments required to achieve hedge accounting for derivative positions, we believe all of our commodity derivatives are economic hedges of our risk exposure.
The commodities hedged have a high inverse correlation to price changes of the derivative commodity instrument. Thus, we would expect that any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of the derivatives would generally be offset by an increase or decrease in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposure.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Hedging: We utilize foreign currency forwards and options contracts to manage the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on future cash payments primarily related to purchases of certain raw materials and finished goods in Canada. The contracts generally have maturities of less than one year.
Effective May 1, 2014, we elected to no longer qualify instruments used to manage foreign currency exchange exposures for hedge accounting treatment. Prior to 2015, instruments used to manage foreign currency exchange exposures did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and the change in value of these instruments was immediately recognized in cost of products sold.
Interest Rate Hedging: We utilize derivative instruments to manage changes in the fair value and cash flows of our debt. Interest rate swaps mitigate the risk associated with the underlying hedged item. At the inception of the contract, the instrument is evaluated and documented for hedge accounting treatment. If the contract is designated as a cash flow hedge, the mark-to-market gains and losses on the swap are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent effective, and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If the contract is designated as a fair value hedge, the interest rate swap would be recognized at fair value on the balance sheet and changes in the fair value would be recognized in interest expense. Generally, changes in the fair value of the derivative are equal to changes in the fair value of the underlying debt and have no impact on earnings.
During 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap on the 3.50 percent Senior Notes due October 15, 2021, which was designated as a fair value hedge and used to hedge against the changes in the fair value of the debt. We receive cash flows from the counterparty at a fixed rate and pay the counterparty variable rates based on LIBOR. The difference between the fixed rate and variable rates resulted in a favorable impact to interest expense for the three and six months ended October 31, 2014. The interest rate swap was recognized at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, and changes in the fair value were recognized in interest expense. The net gain of $27.4 recognized on the derivative instrument at the end of the second quarter had no net impact to earnings, as the change in the fair value of the derivative was equal to the change in fair value of the underlying debt.

We have elected to not offset fair value amounts recognized for our exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments and our cash margin accounts executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. We are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of our open positions. At October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, we maintained cash margin account balances of $9.4 and $8.1, respectively, included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the cash margin account balances is included in other net, investing in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. In the event of default and immediate net settlement of all of our open positions with individual counterparties, all of our derivative liabilities would be fully offset by either our derivative asset positions or margin accounts based on the net asset or liability position with our individual counterparties.
The following table presents information on pre-tax commodity contract gains and losses recognized on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges prior to May 1, 2014, and pre-tax losses related to the termination of a prior interest rate swap.

Included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss were deferred pre-tax net gains of $10.3 and $29.1 at October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively, related to commodity contracts. The related tax expense recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $3.8 and $10.8 at October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively. The entire amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be recognized in earnings this fiscal year as the related commodities are sold.
Included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss were deferred pre-tax losses of $4.5 and $4.8 at October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively, related to the termination of a prior interest rate swap in October 2011 on the 3.50 percent Senior Notes due October 15, 2021. The related tax benefit recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $1.5 and $1.7 at October 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014, respectively. Approximately $0.6 of the pre-tax loss will be recognized over the next 12 months.

Commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative gains and losses are reported in unallocated derivative gains and losses outside of segment operating results until the related inventory is sold. At that time, we reclassify the hedge gains and losses from unallocated derivative gains and losses to segment profit, allowing our segments to realize the economic effect of the hedge without experiencing any mark-to-market volatility.

Note 12: Other Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments, other than derivatives, that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade receivables. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value. Our other financial instruments, with the exception of long-term debt, are recognized at estimated fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table provides information on the carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions.

(A) | Other investments consist of funds maintained for the payment of benefits associated with nonqualified retirement plans. The funds include equity securities listed in active markets, municipal obligations valued by a third party using valuation techniques that utilize inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and money market funds with maturities of three months or less. Based on the short-term nature of these money market funds, carrying value approximates fair value. As of October 31, 2014, our municipal obligations are scheduled to mature as follows: $6.3 in 2015, $0.5 in 2016, $1.7 in 2017, $1.1 in 2018, and the remaining $29.1 in 2019 and beyond. |
(B) | Level 1 commodity contract and foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 commodity contract and foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. The Level 2 interest rate contract derivative is valued using the income approach, observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date, and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single discounted present value. Level 2 inputs for the interest rate contract are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. For additional information, see Note 11: Derivative Financial Instruments. |
(C) | Long-term debt is comprised of public Senior Notes classified as Level 1 and private Senior Notes classified as Level 2. The public Senior Notes are traded in an active secondary market and valued using quoted prices. The value of the private Senior Notes is based on the net present value of each interest and principal payment calculated, utilizing an interest rate derived from a fair market yield curve. For additional information, see Note 7: Debt and Financing Arrangements. |

Note 13: Income Taxes
During the three-month and six-month period ended October 31, 2014, the effective income tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction, partially offset by state income taxes.
Within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that we could decrease our unrecognized tax benefits by an additional $0.4, primarily as a result of expiring statute of limitations periods.

Note 15: Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Net sales in the second quarter of 2015 decreased 5 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to the impact of volume declines in the U.S. Retail Coffee segment. Operating income increased 2 percent in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014, and decreased 4 percent excluding the impact of restructuring and merger and integration costs and unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives (certain items affecting comparability). Operating income in the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the second quarter of 2014, was impacted by a $9.1 favorable change in the impact of unallocated derivative gains and losses, which is not reflected in operating income excluding certain items affecting comparability. Net income per diluted share increased 6 percent in the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the second quarter of 2014, while income per diluted share excluding certain items affecting comparability was flat over the same period. Both per share measures reflect the benefit of a decrease in weighted-average common shares outstanding as a result of our share repurchase activities during the second half of 2014 and a reduction in interest expense.

(A) | Net sales adjusted for certain noncomparable items is a non-GAAP measure used in evaluating performance internally. This measure provides useful information to investors because it enables comparison of results on a year-over-year basis. Net sales adjusted for certain noncomparable items in the table above excludes the impact of the Sahale acquisition, the incremental impact of the Enray acquisition and the Cumberland distribution agreement, and foreign currency exchange. |
The net sales decrease in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014, was mostly due to the impact of volume declines in the U.S. Retail Coffee segment driven by the Folgers brand. Volume declines were also realized due to the continued impact of the private label hot beverage business exits in the International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment and in the Pillsbury and Robin Hood® baking brands. Volume gains were realized in Jif peanut butter, Crisco oils, Smuckers Uncrustables® frozen sandwiches, and R.W. Knudsen Family® beverages.
Net price realization was essentially flat as higher coffee list prices were offset by promotional coffee spending and lower net pricing for oils, peanut butter, and fruit spreads. Sales mix was unfavorable in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014, driven by the volume declines in the U.S. Retail Coffee segment, and represented 2 percentage points of the net sales decrease. The acquired Sahale business and the incremental impact of Enray contributed a combined $10.2 to net sales in the second quarter of 2015.
The net sales decrease in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, was primarily due to the impact of volume declines in the U.S. Retail Coffee segment driven by the Folgers brand. Volume declines were also realized due to the continued impact of the private label hot beverage business exits and in the Pillsbury baking brand and Santa Cruz Organic® beverages, while gains were realized in Crisco oils and Jif peanut butter.
Lower net price realization, driven by the Crisco and Jif brands, and unfavorable sales mix each represented 1 percentage point of the net sales decrease. Sahale and the incremental impact of Enray and Cumberland contributed a combined $33.8 to net sales in the first six months of 2015.

Gross profit decreased $16.1, or 3 percent, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014, driven by lower volume and unfavorable mix. Excluding certain items affecting comparability, which primarily consisted of the impact of unallocated derivative gains and losses, gross profit decreased $27.2, or 5 percent. Effective in 2015, we elected to no longer qualify commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives for hedge accounting treatment, resulting in immediate recognition of gains and losses on these derivatives in earnings. These amounts are recorded in cost of products sold as unallocated derivative gains and losses and are excluded from segment profit and non-GAAP profit measures until the related inventory is sold. For additional information, see Non-GAAP Measures.
Overall, the net impact of commodity costs and net price realization was slightly favorable to gross profit. Peanut and oil costs were lower and not fully offset by lower net prices in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 2014. This was mostly offset by the impact of higher green coffee costs which were not fully recovered by higher net price realization due to promotional spending.
Selling, distribution, and administrative (SD&A) expenses decreased $17.9, or 7 percent, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014, driven by a 19 percent decrease in marketing, which was primarily related to reductions in the U.S. Retail Coffee segment. The decrease in marketing was slightly offset by a 3 percent increase in general and administrative expenses, which was driven by an increase in supply chain support costs as corporate administrative expenses decreased 5 percent.
Operating income increased $4.0, or 2 percent, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014, reflecting a favorable change in certain items affecting comparability. Excluding certain items affecting comparability in both periods, operating income decreased $11.2, or 4 percent.
Gross profit decreased $30.3, or 3 percent, in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, driven by lower volume. Excluding certain items affecting comparability, which primarily consisted of a $16.9 unfavorable change in the impact of unallocated derivative gains and losses, gross profit decreased $16.5, or 2 percent, during the same period.
Overall, the net impact of commodity costs and net price realization was favorable to gross profit. Peanut costs were lower and not fully offset by lower net prices in the first six months of 2015, compared to 2014. This more than offset the impact of higher green coffee costs which were not recovered by higher net price realization due to promotional spending.
SD&A expenses decreased $14.7, or 3 percent, in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, due to an 11 percent decrease in marketing, which was driven by reductions in the U.S. Retail Coffee segment.

Table of Contents
Operating income decreased $17.7, or 4 percent, in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, reflecting the unallocated derivative impact which is not included in operating income excluding certain items affecting comparability, which decreased $5.2, or 1 percent, over the same period.
Interest Expense Net
Net interest expense decreased $4.3 and $10.7 in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared to 2014, reflecting the impact of long-term debt repayments made over the last 12 months and an interest rate swap entered into during the second quarter of 2014, converting a portion of our long-term debt from a fixed- to a variable-rate basis.
Segment Results
Effective May 1, 2014, commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative gains and losses are reported in unallocated derivative gains and losses outside of segment operating results until the related inventory is sold. At that time we reclassify the hedge gain or loss from unallocated derivative gains and losses to segment profit, allowing our segments to realize the economic effect of the hedge without experiencing any mark-to-market volatility. Prior year results have been modified to exclude the unrealized gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives.

U.S. Retail Coffee
The U.S. Retail Coffee segment net sales decreased 10 percent in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014. The net sales decrease reflects lower volume somewhat offset by favorable sales mix and higher net price realization which resulted from the 9 percent list price increase taken in the first quarter of 2015, driven by higher green coffee costs, offset by promotional spending. Segment volume decreased 18 percent in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014, driven by a 20 percent decrease in the Folgers brand. The Folgers brand volume decline was attributed to consumer response to higher promoted price points on shelf for its roast and ground coffee offerings, competitive activity, and reduced promotional effectiveness. Promotional spending decreased sequentially from the first quarter of 2015 resulting in significantly higher promoted price points on shelf. The Café Bustelo brand and Dunkin Donuts packaged coffee volumes also decreased in the quarter, 12 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Volume of K-Cup® packs increased 15 percent, while net sales increased 12 percent in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014.
The U.S. Retail Coffee segment profit decreased $29.4 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014, driven by lower volume. The net impact of higher green coffee costs and prices was modestly unfavorable to segment profit in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 2014, and was offset by favorable mix. A reduction in marketing expenses contributed favorably to segment profit in the second quarter of 2015, compared to 2014.

Table of Contents
The U.S. Retail Coffee segment net sales decreased 7 percent in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, driven by a 9 percent volume decline, primarily due to a 10 percent decrease in the Folgers brand. Volume for the Café Bustelo brand increased 5 percent over the same period, while Dunkin Donuts packaged coffee volume was flat. The impact of the volume decline was partially offset by favorable sales mix. Net price realization was essentially flat in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, as the benefit of the recent list price increase was offset by the impact of an increase in promotional spending mostly in the first quarter. Volume and net sales of K-Cup® packs increased 11 percent and 6 percent, respectively, in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014.
The U.S. Retail Coffee segment profit decreased $34.4 in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, primarily driven by the segment volume decline and K-Cup® pack profitability. Excluding K-Cup® packs, the net impact of higher green coffee costs and prices was essentially neutral to segment profit in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014. We anticipate an unfavorable relationship between net price realization and green coffee costs during the last six months of 2015, compared to the prior period.
U.S. Retail Consumer Foods
The U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment volume was flat in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014. Segment net sales decreased 1 percent over the same period, reflecting lower net price realization primarily for the Crisco and Jif brands. The Sahale business contributed $6.0 to segment net sales in the second quarter of 2015.
Jif brand volume increased 2 percent and net sales were flat in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014. Smuckers Uncrustables frozen sandwiches were up 22 percent and 21 percent in volume and net sales, respectively. Crisco brand volume increased 2 percent, while net sales decreased 8 percent, impacted by a 9 percent list price decline taken in the fourth quarter of 2014. Volume for the Pillsbury brand decreased 3 percent, and was the primary contributor to the overall flat segment volume, and net sales decreased 6 percent.
The U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment profit increased $17.3 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014. Overall lower commodity costs, primarily for peanuts and oils, were partially offset by lower net price realization and drove the segment profit increase. Segment profit in the prior year was impacted by temporary incremental costs at our fruit spreads manufacturing facility and capacity expansion at our Smuckers Uncrustables facility.
The U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment volume was flat in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, and segment net sales decreased 2 percent over the same period, reflecting lower net price realization, primarily for the Crisco and Jif brands.
Jif brand volume increased 3 percent in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, while net sales increased 2 percent. Smuckers Uncrustables frozen sandwiches were up 17 percent and 16 percent in volume and net sales, respectively. Crisco brand volume increased 6 percent, while net sales decreased 5 percent, impacted by the list price decline. Volume for the overall Pillsbury brand decreased 6 percent, and was the primary contributor to the overall flat segment volume, and net sales decreased 8 percent.
The U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment profit increased $35.0 in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, driven by the net benefit of lower peanut costs. While costs were lower for most other commodities, they did not significantly benefit segment profit as they were mostly offset by lower net price realization. Segment profit in the prior year was impacted by temporary incremental costs at our fruit spreads manufacturing facility and capacity expansion at our Smuckers Uncrustables facility. Effective November 2014 we took a 7 percent price decline on the majority of our peanut butter items sold in the U.S in response to the decrease in our peanut costs.

International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods
Net sales in the International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment decreased 2 percent in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the impacts of Sahale, Enray, and foreign currency exchange, segment net sales decreased 1 percent and volume decreased 3 percent. The volume decline reflects the impact of the planned exit of our private label foodservice hot beverage business and decreases in the Robin Hood and Five Roses® brands in Canada that offset gains in R.W. Knudsen Family beverages and other brands. Overall net price realization was flat and sales mix was favorable.
The International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment profit decreased $2.2 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014. Higher costs were realized in Canada and were attributed to sourcing certain products from the U.S., reflecting the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar compared to a year ago, and an increase in green coffee costs.
Net sales in the International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment decreased 2 percent in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014. Excluding the impacts of Sahale, Enray, Cumberland, and foreign currency exchange, segment net sales and volume both decreased 4 percent. The volume decline, which was partially offset by favorable sales mix, reflects the impact of the planned exit of our private label foodservice hot beverage business and decreases in Santa Cruz Organic beverages and the Robin Hood and Five Roses brands in Canada, while gains were achieved in the R.W. Knudsen Family brand.
The International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment profit decreased $9.9 in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, primarily due to the realization of higher costs in Canada, which were attributed to sourcing certain products from the U.S., reflecting the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar compared to a year ago, and an increase in green coffee costs. Additionally, trade spending related to foodservice coffee was higher in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, while mix was favorable.
Financial Condition Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
On an annual basis, our principal source of funds is cash generated from operations, supplemented by borrowings against our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility. Total cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 2014, were $105.3, compared to $153.5 at April 30, 2014.
We typically expect a significant use of cash to fund working capital requirements during the first half of each fiscal year, primarily due to the buildup of inventories to support the Fall Bake and Holiday period, the additional increase of coffee inventory in advance of the Atlantic hurricane season, and seasonal fruit procurement. We expect cash provided by operations in the second half of the fiscal year to significantly exceed the amount in the first half of the year, upon completion of the Fall Bake and Holiday period.

(A) | Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distribution, acquisition opportunities, share repurchases, and other corporate purposes. |
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $84.1 in the first six months of 2015, compared to the first six months of 2014, primarily due to a greater amount of cash required to fund working capital in 2015. The increase was partially driven by higher green coffee costs in 2015, as compared to the prior year.
Cash used for investing activities in the first six months of 2015 consisted primarily of $113.7 in capital expenditures and $80.3 related to the acquisition of Sahale. Cash used for investing activities in the first six months of 2014 consisted primarily of $102.0 related to the acquisitions of Enray and Silocaf of New Orleans, Inc., as well as $83.4 in capital expenditures. For additional information on this years acquisition of Sahale, see Note 3: Acquisitions.
Cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2015 consisted primarily of $297.5 of net borrowings under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility, mostly offset by the $100.0 repayment of the 4.78 percent Senior Notes and quarterly dividend payments of $123.9. Cash used for financing activities in the first six months of 2014 consisted primarily of the purchase of treasury shares for $165.5 and quarterly dividend payments of $116.4, partially offset by net borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $207.0.

We have available a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with a group of 11 banks that matures in September 2018. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2015, we entered into a commercial paper program under which we can issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper not to exceed $1.0 billion at any time. The commercial paper program is backed by our revolving credit facility and reduces what we can borrow under the revolving credit facility by the amount of commercial paper outstanding. As of October 31, 2014, we had $545.9 of short-term borrowings outstanding, all of which were under our commercial paper program, at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.31 percent. As of November 25, 2014, we had $408.0 of commercial paper borrowings, at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.32 percent, and no outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility. We are in compliance with all of our debt covenants. For additional information on our revolving credit facility, commercial paper program, and debt covenants, see Note 7: Debt and Financing Arrangements.

Table of Contents
As of October 31, 2014, we had approximately 10.0 million common shares available for repurchase under Board of Directors authorizations, including 5.0 million common shares which were authorized in October 2014. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that may be repurchased or when such purchases may occur.
Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and borrowings available under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet cash requirements for the next 12 months, including capital expenditures, the payment of quarterly dividends, interest and principal payments on debt outstanding, and share repurchases. As of October 31, 2014, total cash and cash equivalents of $92.5 was held by our international subsidiaries. We do not intend to repatriate these funds to meet any of these cash requirements. Should we repatriate these funds, we will be required to pay taxes based on the applicable U.S. tax rates net of any foreign tax credit consideration.

Non-GAAP Measures
We use non-GAAP financial measures including: net sales adjusted for the noncomparable impact of the Sahale acquisition, the incremental impact of the Enray acquisition and the Cumberland distribution agreement, and foreign currency exchange; gross profit, operating income, income, and income per diluted share, excluding certain items affecting comparability; and free cash flow, as key measures for purposes of evaluating performance internally. In addition, income per diluted share excluding certain items affecting comparability is used as a component of the Board of Directors measurement of performance for incentive compensation purposes. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors because they are the measures we use to evaluate performance on a comparable year-over-year basis. Effective May 1, 2014, we have defined certain items affecting comparability to include restructuring and merger and integration costs (special project costs) and unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives (unallocated derivative gains and losses) and modified prior year results to conform to the new definition. The special project costs in the table below relate to specific restructuring and merger and integration projects that are each nonrecurring in nature and can significantly affect the year-over-year assessment of operating results. Unallocated derivative gains and losses reflect the changes in fair value of our commodity and foreign currency exchange contracts and also affect comparability on a year-over-year basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Rather, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics we use to internally evaluate our businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operations and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may exclude certain nondiscretionary expenses and cash payments. The following table reconciles certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure and prior years measures have been revised to reflect the change discussed above. See page 27 for a reconciliation of free cash flow to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We do not have material off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as variable interest entities. Transactions with related parties are in the ordinary course of business and not material to our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Long-term debt obligations and interest payments in the above table exclude the impact of any interest rate swaps or offering discounts. Purchase obligations include agreements that are enforceable and legally bind us to purchase goods or services. Included in this category are certain obligations related to normal, ongoing purchase obligations in which we have guaranteed payment to ensure availability of raw materials and packaging supplies. We expect to receive consideration for these purchase obligations in the form of materials. These purchase obligations do not represent the entire anticipated purchases in the future, but represent only those items for which we are contractually obligated. Other liabilities in the above table mainly consist of projected commitments associated with our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits. The table excludes the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and tax-related net interest and penalties of approximately $33.5 under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes, since we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices.
Interest Rate Risk: The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents at October 31, 2014, approximates carrying value. Exposure to interest rate risk on our long-term debt is mitigated due to fixed-rate maturities.
We utilize derivative instruments to manage changes in the fair value of our debt. Interest rate swaps mitigate the risk associated with the underlying hedged item. At the inception of the contract, the instrument is evaluated and documented for hedge accounting treatment. If the contract is designated as a cash flow hedge, the mark-to-market gains or losses on the swap are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent effective, and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If the contract is designated as a fair value hedge, the swap would be recognized at fair value on the balance sheet, and changes in the fair value would be recognized in interest expense. Generally, changes in the fair value of the derivative are equal to changes in the fair value of the underlying debt and have no net impact on earnings. We entered into an interest rate swap during 2014, designated as a fair value hedge, on a portion of fixed-rate Senior Notes in an effort to achieve a mix of variable- versus fixed-rate debt under favorable market conditions.
Based on our overall interest rate exposure as of and during the three months ended October 31, 2014, including derivatives and other instruments sensitive to interest rates, a hypothetical 10 percent movement in interest rates would not materially affect our results of operations. In measuring interest rate risk by the amount of net change in the fair value of our financial liabilities, a hypothetical 1 percent decrease in interest rates at October 31, 2014, would increase the fair value of our long-term debt by $81.7.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk: We have operations outside the U.S. with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily denominated in Canadian currency. Because we have foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, financial exposure may result, primarily from the timing of transactions and the movement of exchange rates. The foreign currency balance sheet exposures as of October 31, 2014, are not expected to result in a significant impact on future earnings or cash flows.
We utilize foreign currency exchange forwards and options contracts to manage the price volatility of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on future cash payments in Canada, primarily related to purchases of certain raw materials and finished goods. The contracts generally have maturities of less than one year. Effective May 1, 2014, we elected to no longer qualify instruments used to manage foreign currency exchange exposures for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, the gains and losses on all foreign currency forwards and options contracts will be immediately recognized in cost of products sold. Based on our hedged foreign currency positions as of October 31, 2014, a hypothetical 10 percent change in exchange rates would not result in a material loss of fair value.
Revenues from customers outside the U.S., subject to foreign currency exchange, represented 8 percent of net sales during the six-month period ended October 31, 2014. Thus, certain revenues and expenses have been, and are expected to be, subject to the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, and these fluctuations may have an impact on operating results.
Commodity Price Risk: We use certain raw materials and other commodities that are subject to price volatility caused by supply and demand conditions, political and economic variables, weather, investor speculation, and other unpredictable factors. To manage the volatility related to anticipated commodity purchases, we use futures and options with maturities of generally less than one year. Effective May 1, 2014, we elected to no longer qualify commodity derivatives for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, the gains and losses on all commodity derivatives will be immediately recognized in cost of products sold.

The following sensitivity analysis presents our potential loss of fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent change in market prices related to commodities.

The estimated fair value was determined using quoted market prices and was based on our net derivative position by commodity for the previous four quarters. The calculations are not intended to represent actual losses in fair value that we expect to incur. In practice, as markets move, we actively manage our risk and adjust hedging strategies as appropriate. The commodities hedged have a high inverse correlation to price changes of the derivative commodity instrument; thus, we would expect that any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of its derivatives would generally be offset by an increase or decrease in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposures.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of October 31, 2014 (the Evaluation Date). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended October 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
