"We had a strong third quarter, with accelerated reported net sales growth of 4%, adjusted diluted EPS growth of more than 15% and confectionery share gains across markets, including an almost 190 basis point gain in the U.S. Our core U.S. business remains healthy as consumers reach for small treats during the pandemic, and our decision to lean into Halloween ahead of the season supported consumers' desire to find new and creative ways to celebrate safely. We also saw sequential improvement in the areas of our business hit hardest by COVID-19, including our international markets, owned retail locations and food service business,” said Michele Buck, The Hershey Company President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are continuing to focus on executing with excellence, investing in the business, and advancing our strategic priorities to deliver a strong fourth quarter and position us well for 2021."

Third-Quarter 2020 Results
Consolidated net sales were $2,219.8 million in the third quarter of 2020 versus $2,134.4 million in the year ago period, an increase of 4.0%. Price realization was a 2.9 point benefit and volume growth was a 0.9 point benefit, both driven by strength in the North America segment. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures was a 0.8 point benefit driven by the acquisition of ONE Brands. Foreign currency exchange was a 0.6 point headwind.
Reported gross margin was 48.7% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 44.2% in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 450 basis points. The increase reflects a higher derivative mark-to-market commodity gain in the current period, along with net price realization. Adjusted gross margin was 45.4% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 44.8% in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 60 basis points driven by pricing gains which were partially offset by unfavorable commodities and increased warehouse costs related to elevated demand in North America.
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses decreased 2.6% in the third quarter of 2020 versus the third quarter of 2019. Advertising and related consumer marketing expenses decreased 4.6% in the third quarter of 2020 versus the same period last year driven by media cost efficiencies and optimized brand investment. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses, excluding advertising and related consumer marketing, decreased 1.5% versus the third quarter of 2019. This decrease was driven by COVID-19 related travel and meeting expense savings and the timing of investments in key strategic initiatives compared to the prior year.
Third-quarter 2020 reported operating profit of $611.4 million increased 32.7% versus the third quarter of 2019, resulting in an operating profit margin of 27.5%, an increase of 590 basis points. This increase was driven by higher gross profit due to the previously mentioned higher derivative mark-to-market commodity gain in the current period. Adjusted operating profit of $543.3 million increased 13.9% versus the third quarter of 2019. This resulted in an adjusted operating profit margin of 24.5%, an increase of 220 basis points versus the third quarter of 2019 driven by strong price realization in the North America segment and corporate and operational cost management.
The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 was 20.5%, an increase of 30 basis points versus the third quarter of 2019. The adjusted tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 was 21.5%, an increase of 140 basis points versus the third quarter of 2019. Both the effective and adjusted tax rate increases were primarily driven by lower excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
The company’s third-quarter 2020 results, as prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), included items positively impacting comparability of $68.1 million, or $0.28 per share-diluted, as outlined in the table below. For the third quarter of 2019, items negatively impacting comparability totaled $18.4 million, or $0.07 per share-diluted.

The following are comments about segment performance for the third quarter of 2020 versus the year-ago period. See the schedule of supplementary information within this press release for additional information on segment net sales and profit.
North America (U.S. and Canada)
Hershey’s North America net sales were $2,014.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 6.3% versus the same period last year. Price realization was a 3.3 point benefit. Volume contributed an additional 2.2 points, driven by an approximate 1.5 point benefit from retailer inventory replenishment and strong consumer takeaway in our everyday chocolate and baking products. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures was a 0.9 point benefit, while foreign currency exchange was a 0.1 point headwind.
Total Hershey U.S. retail takeaway for the 12 weeks ended October 4, 20202 in the expanded multi-outlet combined plus convenience store channels (IRI MULO + C-Stores) increased 6.6% versus the prior-year period. Hershey’s U.S. candy, mint and gum (CMG) retail takeaway increased 6.5%, resulting in a category market share gain of 188 basis points. This gain was largely driven by strong sales of Hershey's chocolate brands, which increased 9.8% versus the prior year period. Sales of Hershey's baking items, including peanut butter, syrup, chips and cocoa continued to remain strong, increasing 15.7%. Hershey's salty snacks also performed well, increasing 11.8% in the 12-week period. This strength was partially offset by 19.2% declines in Hershey's refreshment products as the functional need for breath freshening has lessened with social distancing.
Gross margin expanded 100 basis points as strong net price realization more than offset unfavorable commodities and increased warehouse costs from elevated demand. North America advertising and related consumer marketing expenses decreased by 3.1% in the third quarter of 2020 versus the same period last year, largely driven by media

cost efficiencies. Though still a decline versus prior year, a portion of these efficiencies in the third quarter were selectively reinvested in brands, occasions and channels that align with the latest consumer behavior trends in light of the pandemic. These gross margin gains and prudent cost management resulted in a segment income increase of 13.5% to $647.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $570.4 million in the third quarter of 2019.
2 Includes candy, mint, gum, salty snacks, and grocery items
International and Other
Third-quarter 2020 net sales for Hershey’s International and Other segment decreased 14.4% versus the same period last year to $205.7 million. Excluding a 5.1 point headwind from foreign currency exchange rates, constant currency net sales declined 9.3%. Volume was a 9.6 point headwind, slightly offset by pricing gains of 0.3 points in the quarter. This volume softness was largely driven by reduced sales at our company's owned retail locations. While retail locations reopened during the third quarter, foot traffic remained suppressed given reduced consumer travel and capacity restrictions imposed by government regulations. Large declines in air travel further impacted results. Consumer mobility and economic security continue to challenge our international markets, though each market reported improved sales trends versus the second quarter. Combined net sales in Mexico, Brazil, India and China decreased 13.9%. Excluding an 11.6 point headwind from foreign currency exchange rates, combined organic constant currency net sales in Mexico, Brazil, India and China declined 2.3%.
The International and Other segment reported a $24.5 million profit in the third quarter of 2020, reflecting a 37.8% decrease versus the prior year period. Profit declines were driven by the COVID-19 related sales declines, which were partially offset by marketing and overhead cost optimization.

Unallocated Corporate Expense
Hershey's unallocated corporate expense in the third quarter of 2020 was $128.3 million, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 3.4% versus the same period of 2019. This decrease was driven by savings in travel and meeting expenses related to COVID-19 along with project timing shifts versus the prior year period.
2020 Full-Year Financial Outlook3
The Hershey Company withdrew its fiscal 2020 guidance on April 23, 2020. While the operating environment continues to evolve, the company is reinstating full-year guidance based on current visibility into sales and costs for the balance of the year.
Full-year reported net sales are expected to increase around 1.0%. This reflects a 2 point headwind from COVID-19 in our International & Other segment. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures is estimated to be a 0.5 point benefit to net sales growth4, and the impact of foreign currency exchange is anticipated to be a 0.5 point headwind based on current exchange rates.
Full-year reported earnings per share-diluted are expected to be in the range of $6.03 to $6.11, an increase of 10.0% to 12.0% versus 2019. Full-year adjusted earnings per share-diluted are expected to be in the range of $6.18 to $6.24, an increase of 7% to 8% versus 2019.
3 All comparisons for full-year 2020 are with respect to the full-year ended December 31, 2019.

Note: In this release, for the third quarter of 2020, Hershey references income measures that are not in accordance with GAAP because they exclude certain items impacting comparability, including business realignment activities, acquisition-related activities, pension settlement charges relating to company-directed initiatives, and gains and losses associated with mark-to-market commodity derivatives. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in evaluating results of operations for internal purposes and are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the company believes exclusion of such items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income is provided below.

In the assessment of our results, we review and discuss the following financial metrics that are derived from the reported and non-GAAP financial measures presented above:
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||
| September 27, 2020 | September 29, 2019 | ||||||||||
| As reported gross margin | 48.7 | % | 44.2 | % | |||||||
| Non-GAAP gross margin (1) | 45.4 | % | 44.8 | % | |||||||
| As reported operating profit margin | 27.5 | % | 21.6 | % | |||||||
| Non-GAAP operating profit margin (2) | 24.5 | % | 22.3 | % | |||||||
| As reported effective tax rate | 20.5 | % | 20.2 | % | |||||||
| Non-GAAP effective tax rate (3) | 21.5 | % | 20.1 | % | |||||||
(1) Calculated as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of net sales for each period presented.
(2) Calculated as non-GAAP operating profit as a percentage of net sales for each period presented.
(3) Calculated as non-GAAP provision for income taxes as a percentage of non-GAAP income before taxes (calculated as non-GAAP operating profit minus non-GAAP interest expense, net plus or minus non-GAAP other (income) expense, net).
We present certain percentage changes in net sales on a constant currency basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rates in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Appendix I
Details of the charges included in GAAP results, as summarized in the press release (above), are as follows:
Derivative Mark-to-Market (Gains) Losses: The mark-to-market (gains) losses on commodity derivatives are recorded as unallocated and excluded from adjusted results until such time as the related inventory is sold, at which time the corresponding (gains) losses are reclassified from unallocated to segment income. Since we often purchase commodity contracts to price inventory requirements in future years, we make this adjustment to facilitate the year-over-year comparison of cost of sales on a basis that matches the derivative gains and losses with the underlying economic exposure being hedged for the period.
Business Realignment Activities: We periodically undertake restructuring and cost reduction activities as part of ongoing efforts to enhance long-term profitability. During the first quarter of 2017, we commenced the Margin for Growth Program to drive continued net sales, operating income and earnings per share-diluted growth over the next several years. This program is focused on improving global efficiency and effectiveness, optimizing the company’s supply chain, streamlining the company’s operating model and reducing administrative expenses to generate long-term savings. There were no business realignment charges during the third quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2019, business realignment charges related primarily to severance expenses and third-party costs related to this program.
Acquisition-Related Activities: During the third quarter of 2020, we incurred costs related to the integration of the 2019 acquisition of ONE Brands, LLC. Costs incurred during the third quarter of 2019 related to the integration of the 2018 acquisitions of Amplify Snack Brands, Inc. and Pirate Brands.
Pension Settlement Charges Relating to Company-Directed Initiatives: There were no pension settlement charges during the third quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2019, settlement charges in our hourly defined benefit plan were triggered as a result of lump sum withdrawals by employees retiring or leaving the Company under a voluntary separation plan included within our Margin for Growth Program.
Noncontrolling Interest Share of Business Realignment and Impairment Charges: Certain of the business realignment and impairment charges recorded in connection with the Margin for Growth Program related to a joint venture in which we own a 50% controlling interest. Therefore, we have also adjusted for the portion of these charges included within the income (loss) attributed to the noncontrolling interest.
10
Tax Effect of All Adjustments: This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all pre-tax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the applicable table. The tax effect for each adjustment is determined by calculating the tax impact of the adjustment on the company’s quarterly effective tax rate, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment.
