Post Holdings, Inc. Lender Presentation March 18, 2015


 
Certain matters discussed in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of Post Holdings, Inc. (“Post,” “the Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding expected synergies and benefits of the acquisition of MOM Brands Company (“MOM Brands”), expected financial contributions of MOM Brands, expectations about the accretive nature and timing of the MOM Brands transaction, expectations about the tax benefits and the financing of the MOM Brands transaction, the expectation of Post/MOM Brands being the leader in the value segment, expectations about market position and future business plans, expectations about the prospective performance, market share and opportunities, regulatory approvals and the expected financing and timing of the closing of the MOM Brands transaction. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “potential,” “should” or similar words. There is no assurance that the acquisition of MOM Brands will be consummated, and there are a number of risks and uncertainties that that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and uncertainties include risks relating to Post’s ability to obtain financing and access to capital for the MOM Brands acquisition or our ability to otherwise complete the acquisition; the timing to consummate the acquisition of MOM Brands; the ability of regulatory authorities to take action under the antitrust laws for the MOM Brands acquisition, including antitrust approvals, and our ability to satisfy other closing conditions; Post’s ability to realize the synergies contemplated by the acquisition of MOM Brands; Post’s ability to promptly and effectively integrate the MOM Brands business; our high leverage and substantial debt, including covenants that restrict the operation of our business; our ability to service outstanding debt or obtain additional financing, including secured and unsecured debt; our ability to continue to compete in our product markets and our ability to retain market position; our ability to identify and complete acquisitions, manage growth and integrate acquisitions; changes in our cost structure, management, financing and business operations; significant volatility in the costs of certain raw materials, commodities, packaging or energy used to manufacture our products; our ability to maintain competitive pricing, introduce new products or successfully manage costs; our ability to successfully implement business strategies to reduce costs; impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangibles; the loss or bankruptcy of a significant customer; allegations that products cause injury or illness, product recalls and product liability claims and other litigation; our ability to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences and trends; changes in economic conditions and consumer demand for our products; disruptions in the U.S. and global capital and credit markets; labor strikes, work stoppages or unionization efforts; legal and regulatory factors, including changes in advertising and labeling laws, food safety and laws and regulations governing animal feeding operations; our ability to comply with increased regulatory scrutiny related to certain of our products and / or international sales; the ultimate impact litigation may have on us, including the lawsuit (to which MFI Holding Corporation “Michael Foods” is a party) alleging violations of federal and state antitrust laws in the egg industry; our reliance on third party manufacturers for certain of our products; disruptions or inefficiencies in supply chain; our ability to recognize the expected benefits of the closing of the Modesto, California manufacturing facility; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; consolidations among the retail grocery and foodservice industries; change in estimates in critical accounting judgments and changes to or new laws and regulations affecting our business; losses or increased funding and expenses related to qualified pension plans; loss of key employees; our ability to protect our intellectual property; changes in weather conditions, natural disasters, disease outbreaks and other events beyond our control; our ability to successfully operate international operations in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; our ability to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including with respect to acquired businesses; business disruptions caused by information technology failures and / or technology hacking; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s judgment as of the date of this presentation. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. 1 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security.


 
Important Notice Regarding the Information Contained in this Presentation This presentation is intended to facilitate discussions with representatives of certain institutions regarding a potential financing for Post Holdings, Inc. (“Post” or the “Company”). You should not rely on the information contained in this presentation. This presentation does not purport to be all- inclusive or to contain all of the information that a prospective participant may consider material or desirable in making its decision to become a lender. This presentation is not being used as an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities of the Company or any of its affiliates in any jurisdiction. The information contained herein must be kept strictly confidential and may not be reproduced or distributed, in whole or in part, in any format without the Company’s prior written consent. Non-GAAP Financial Measures While the Company reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., this presentation includes the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA for Post on both a historical and forecast basis, and for MOM Brands on a historical basis, neither of which is in accordance with or a substitute for GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments. Post considers Adjusted EBITDA an important supplemental measure of performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is often used to assess performance because it allows comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of various items. Adjusted EBITDA has various limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP measures, see “Post Historical Financials Reconciliation” and “MOM Brands Historical Financials Reconciliation” in the appendix. Post has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of the forecast non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation to the most comparable financial measure or measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP due primarily to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the exact amount of the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA that will be included in the comparable GAAP financial measures such that it is not practicable to produce such reconciliations for this financial information without unreasonable effort. This presentation also includes supplemental financial measures related to Post’s pending acquisition of MOM Brands and the completed acquisitions of Golden Boy Foods Ltd. (“Golden Boy”), Dymatize Enterprises, LLC (“Dymatize”), MFI Holding Corporation (“Michael Foods”) and American Blanching Company (“ABC”), including Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA. This data has not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X or any other securities laws relating to the presentation of pro forma financial information. This data is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what Post’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been if the acquisitions have been completed as of an earlier date or that may be achieved in the future. For a reconciliation of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA, see “Post Historical Financials Reconciliation” in the appendix. Certain of the Non-GAAP financial measures included herein present prospective financial information. The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of the forecast non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation to the most comparable financial measure or measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP due primarily to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the exact amount of the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA that will be included in the comparable GAAP financial measures such that it is not practicable to produce such reconciliations for this financial information without unreasonable effort. Please note that the financial information presented herein for Golden Boy was prepared by its management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for private enterprises, and therefore may not be entirely comparable to Post’s financial information. 2 Additional Information


 
Prospective Financial Information The prospective financial information provided in this presentation regarding Post’s future performance, including Post’s expected Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2015 and specific dollar amounts and other plans, expectations, estimates and similar statements, represents Post management’s estimates as of the date of this presentation only and are qualified by, and subject to, the assumptions and the other information set forth on the slide captioned “Forward-Looking Statements.” The estimated 2015 Adjusted EBITDA and the dollar amounts and other plans, expectations, estimates and similar statements contained in this presentation are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change and are necessarily speculative in nature. It can be expected that some or all of the assumptions of the estimates furnished by us will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, the information set forth herein is only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date hereof, and actual results will vary from the estimates set forth herein. Investors should also recognize that the reliability of any forecasted financial data diminishes the farther in the future that the data is forecast. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put the estimated 2015 Adjusted EBITDA and other prospective financial information in context and not to place undue reliance on it. The estimated fiscal 2015 Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither our independent registered public accounting firms nor any other independent expert or outside party compiles or examines these estimates and, accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The estimated 2015 Adjusted EBITDA is stated as a high and low range, which is intended to provide a sensitivity analysis as variables are changed but it is not intended to represent that actual results could not fall outside of the estimated ranges. Any failure to successfully implement our operating strategy or the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances set forth under “Forward- Looking Statements” could result in the actual operating results being different than the estimates set forth herein, and such differences may be adverse and material. Market and Industry Data This presentation includes industry and trade association data, forecasts and information that was prepared based, in part, upon data, forecasts and information obtained from independent trade associations, industry publications and surveys and other independent sources available to the Company. Some data also are based on Post’s good faith estimates, which are derived from management’s knowledge of the industry and from independent sources. These third-party publications and surveys generally state that the information included therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the publications and surveys can give no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. Post has not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources nor has it ascertained the underlying economic assumptions on which such data are based. Post’s market share data is based on information from Nielsen Expanded All Outlets Combined (“xAOC”) or ACNielsen. 3 Additional Information (Cont’d)


 
Financial Information for Acquired or to be Acquired Businesses The financial information set forth in this presentation for Dakota, Golden Boy, Dymatize, Michael Foods, ABC and MOM Brands are estimates based on the internal financial statements for those businesses that were prepared by their respective prior management (or current management in the case of MOM Brands).

The financial data for Michael Foods and MOM Brands and the estimates for Golden Boy, Dymatize, Michael Foods and ABC reflect performance under each business’ prior parent company or ownership group (or current parent company in the case of MOM Brands) and may not be indicative of the operating results that can be obtained under Post’s cost structure.

17 Note: Post prepares Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA by further adjusting Adjusted EBITDA to give effect to recent acquisitions, as well as its pending acquisition of MOM Brands, as if those acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2014 by adding management’s estimate of the Adjusted EBITDA for each such business. The Adjusted EBITDA presented in this document for the completed acquisitions (Dymatize, Golden Boy, Michael Foods and American Blanching) and MOM Brands are based on the financial statements for those businesses that were prepared by their respective pre-acquisition management (or in the case of MOM Brands, its current management) and from due diligence procedures performed by Post and, except as expressly stated otherwise, do not include any contributions from synergies or cost savings that management expects to achieve in the future. These financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by independent auditors or any other accounting firm. Lenders should be aware that Adjusted EBITDA for these acquired entities may not be entirely comparable to Post’s measure of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA has not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X or any other securities laws relating to the presentation of pro forma financial information. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is presented for information purposes only and does not purport to represent what Post’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been if the acquisitions had been completed as of an earlier date or that may be achieved in the future. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA does not include any contribution from, or otherwise adjust for, our acquisition of the PowerBar and Musashi branded premium bars, powders and gel products business of Nestlé S.A, which was completed on October 1, 2014. Acquisition adjustments for completed acquisitions represent management’s estimate of the Adjusted EBITDA of the Golden Boy, Dymatize, Michael Foods and American Blanching for the period from January 1, 2014 to the closing dates of the respective acquisitions, as described in more detail in the following tables. Acquisition adjustments for completed acquisitions also include approximately $10mm of annual run-rate pre-tax synergies currently expected to be recognized in Post’s fiscal year 2015 from improved commodity purchasing as well as indirect purchasing and professional services, as a result of benefits of scale from the acquisition of Michael Foods.
