TORONTO, July 31, 2014 /CNW/ - Maple Leaf Foods Inc. (TSX: MFI) today reported its financial results for the second quarter, June 30, 2014.
- Adjusted Operating Earnings(1)(3) for the second quarter was a loss of $12.1 million compared to a loss of $32.3 million last year. For the first six months, Adjusted Operating Earnings was a loss of $42.0 million compared to a loss of $60.1 million last year.
- Adjusted Earnings per Share(3)(4) for the quarter was a loss of $0.13 compared to a loss of $0.25 per share last year. Adjusted Earnings per Share for the first six months was a loss of $0.37 compared to a loss of $0.48 last year.
- Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter was $39.5 million compared to $38.4 million last year. For the first six months, net loss from continuing operations was $164.2 million compared to $69.0 million last year.
- The Company completed the sale of its 90% interest in Canada Bread Company, Limited to Grupo Bimbo in the second quarter of 2014.
"We continue to make good progress on our strategic agenda, although the transitory cost of duplicative supply chains continues to be significant," said Michael H. McCain, President and CEO. "We implemented material price increases during the second quarter which going forward will fully offset significant raw material cost increases to date. As anticipated, there is a short-term impact on demand, which we expect will normalize in time. Our progress in converting to the new supply chain continues as performance improves in our Western facilities and commissioning of the new flagship plant in Hamilton, Ontario is underway. Following the successful sale of our bakery business, we completed a comprehensive organizational restructuring in the quarter, right-sizing our structure to cost effectively support our needs as a focused value-added protein company. We are managing significant change along with our base business performance, and we are very satisfied with our progress towards our financial targets."
Financial Overview
Maple Leaf Foods Inc. ("the Company") sales from continuing operations of $831.8 million for the second quarter was an increase of 9.6% from last year, or 8.2% after adjusting for the impacts of foreign exchange, as higher pricing was partly offset by lower volume. Sales from continuing operations of $1,543.1 million for the first six months was an increase of 6.5%, or 5.3% after adjusting for foreign exchange, due to the same factors.
Adjusted Operating Earnings for the second quarter was a loss of $12.1 million compared to a loss of $32.3 million last year, as improved market conditions in the Agribusiness Group more than offset lower earnings in the Meat Products Group. For the first six months, Adjusted Operating Earnings increased was a loss of $42.0 million compared to a loss of $60.1 million last year, due to similar factors.
Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter was $39.5 million (loss of $0.28 per basic share attributable to common shareholders) compared to a loss of $38.4 million (loss of $0.27 per basic share attributable to common shareholders) last year.

For the first six months, net loss from continuing operations was $164.2 million (loss of $1.17 per share attributable to common shareholders) compared to a net loss of $69.0 million (loss of $0.49 per basic share attributable to common shareholders) last year. Net loss from continuing operations included $41.8 million ($0.22 per basic share attributable to common shareholders) of pre-tax expenses related to restructuring and other related costs (2013: $51.3 million or $0.27 per basic share attributable to common shareholders). Net loss also included financing costs of $98.6 million related to the repayment of the Company's long-term notes payable in April 2014.
Adjusted Earnings per Share was a loss of $0.13 in the second quarter of 2014 compared to a loss of $0.25 last year. For the first six months, Adjusted Earnings per Share was a loss of $0.37 compared to a loss of $0.48 last year.

Meat Products Group
Includes value-added prepared meats, lunch kits, and fresh pork, poultry and turkey products sold to retail, foodservice, industrial, and convenience channels. Includes leading Canadian brands such as Maple Leaf®, Schneiders® and many leading sub-brands.
Meat Products Group sales for the second quarter increased 9.7% to $825.6 million, or 8.3% after adjusting for the weaker Canadian dollar that benefited pork exports. This was primarily driven by higher market prices for fresh pork, as well as price increases implemented in the prepared meats business during the second quarter of 2014 in response to higher raw material and inflationary costs. Partly offsetting these were lower volume in the prepared meats business, largely due to the pricing actions implemented in the second quarter, combined with a decline in fresh pork volume. For the first six months, sales increased 7.0% to $1,531.0 million, or 5.8% after adjusting for the impact of foreign exchange, largely due to the same factors noted above, with the addition of higher volume and sales mix in the first quarter of 2014.
Adjusted Operating Earnings for the second quarter was a loss of $15.6 million compared to a loss of $11.5 million last year, as lower earnings in the prepared meats and fresh poultry businesses were only partly offset by improved results in the fresh pork business.
The prepared meats business incurred transitional costs of approximately $25 million during the second quarter of 2014, which were largely related to commissioning activities and overhead costs at the new meat processing facility in Hamilton, Ontario. Last year, transitional costs were approximately $12 million during the same period, mainly attributable to start-up activities at plant expansions in Western Canada.
Lower volume in the prepared meats business also contributed to lower earnings. The decrease in volume was mainly due to price increases taken during the second quarter of 2014, which were implemented to offset rising raw material and inflationary costs in the quarter. Raw material prices continued to remain higher than last year due to the outbreaks of disease in hog production herds in the U.S. Adding to this was a weakening Canadian dollar that also contributed to higher input costs. Higher selling, general and administrative expense as a result of the timing of advertising and promotional spend, also reduced earnings.
Earnings in the fresh pork business increased due to improved domestic and foreign sales. Higher primary pork processing margins and market values for by-products also contributed to earnings, as did plant labour and yield efficiencies which offset lower volume due to decreased hog supplies. Earnings in fresh poultry declined due to an unfavourable sales mix and plant operating inefficiencies. These were partly offset by improved primary poultry processing spreads.
For the first six months, Adjusted Operating Earnings was a loss of $43.1 million compared to a loss of $21.9 million last year, due to similar factors noted above, as well as margin compression in the prepared meats business, as the benefit of price increases in the second quarter implemented to offset higher raw material prices going forward, did not fully offset for the first six months.
Agribusiness Group
Includes Canadian hog production operations that primarily supplies the Meat Products Group with livestock.
Agribusiness Group sales for the second quarter declined by 8.2% to $6.2 million compared to $6.8 million last year, due to lower pricing on toll feed sales. Sales for the first six months declined 32.6% to $12.2 million, due to the same factors above.
Adjusted Operating Earnings in the second quarter was $5.2 million compared to a loss of $16.9 million last year, primarily due to higher market prices, net of hedging activities, for hogs, and lower feed costs. For the first six months, Adjusted Operating Earnings was $4.9 million compared to a loss of $29.8 million last year, due to the same factors above.
Divestiture of Canada Bread and Discontinued Operations
On May 23, 2014, Grupo Bimbo, S.A.B. de C.V. of Mexico ("Grupo Bimbo") acquired the 90.0% of issued and outstanding shares of Canada Bread owned by the Company, by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement"). During the quarter, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1,657.0 million (which includes its share of the dividend paid upon closing of the Arrangement) for its 90.0% interest in Canada Bread, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $1,030.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and $999.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Upon the sale of the business, the net assets of Canada Bread have been de-recognized from assets held for sale. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Canada Bread operations have been classified as discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Net Earnings (Loss), and are presented as part of Bakery Products Group for segmented reporting.
Discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, pertain to the Bakery Products Group and transaction costs associated with previous disposals. Discontinued operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, were restated to include the Bakery Products Group, as well as the Rothsay and Olivieri businesses that were sold during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Sales from discontinued operations for the second quarter were $225.0 million and included two months of results from the Bakery Products Group. Sales from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2013 were $458.7 million and included $374.5 million relating to the Bakery Products Group, and $84.2 million related to the Rothsay and Oliveri businesses.
Net earnings from discontinued operations for the second quarter was $938.4 million and included a $1,030.5 million pre-tax gain on disposal of the Bakery Products Group, and related income taxes of $103.7 million for an after tax net gain of $926.8 million. The balance of net earnings from discontinued operations was comprised of $13.4 million of the Bakery Products Group operations for two months, and $1.8 million of transaction costs associated with the 2013 sale of the Rothsay business. Net earnings from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2013 was $38.4 million and included $23.9 million in earnings of the Bakery Products Group, $13.8 million related to Rothsay, and $0.6 million related to Olivieri.
For additional information on discontinued operations please see Note 21 of the second quarter 2014 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other Matters
On July 30, 2014, the Company declared a dividend of $0.04 per share payable September 30, 2014, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 5, 2014. Unless indicated otherwise by the Company in writing on or before the time the dividend is paid, the dividend will be considered an Eligible Dividend for the purposes of the "Enhanced Dividend Tax Credit System".

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company uses the following non-IFRS measures: Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt. Management believes that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors in measuring the financial performance of the Company for the reasons outlined below. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted Operating Earnings
Adjusted Operating Earnings, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. It is defined as earnings before income taxes from continuing operations adjusted for items that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. The table below provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported under IFRS in the unaudited consolidated interim statements of earnings to Adjusted Operating Income for the three and six months ended, as indicated below. Management believes that this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate operating results, as they are representative of the ongoing operations of the Company.

Adjusted Earnings per Share
Adjusted Earnings per Share, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate ongoing financial operating results. It is defined as basic earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, and is adjusted for items that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. The table below provides a reconciliation of basic earnings per share from continuing operations as reported under IFRS in the unaudited consolidated interim statements of earnings to Adjusted Earnings per Share for the three and six months ended, as indicated below. Management believes this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate financial results as they are representative of the ongoing operations of the Company.
