      2018 sales include the impact of the adoption of new accounting standard IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Refer to note 2(b) of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further details on the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards.



      Note:

      Several items are excluded from the discussions of underlying earnings performance as they are not representative of ongoing operational activities. Refer to the section entitled Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures at the end of this news release for a description and reconciliation of all non-IFRS financial measures.

      "We anticipated a more challenging year in 2018, driven by temporarily volatile trading environments and our market launch of a comprehensive food renovation in the second quarter, which is largely how it has unfolded so far," said Michael H. McCain, President and CEO. "During this time we have maintained our financial performance above strategic targets, a testament to the value-added strength and balance in our portfolio, we have had excellent underlying commercial and operating gains, and we are enthusiastic about the key initiatives which will create long term shareholder value."

      Sales for the second quarter decreased 1.8% to $909.2 million or an increase of 1.1% after adjusting for IFRS15, foreign exchange and acquisitions. Sales growth in sustainable meats, expansion of plant protein in the US and pricing taken in the fall of 2017 was offset by decreased market values in pork and lower prepared meats volumes.

      Sales for the first six months decreased 0.6% to $1,726.8 million or an increase of 1.7% after adjusting for IFRS15, foreign exchange and acquisitions. The decrease in sales is consistent with the factors noted above.

      Net earnings for the second quarter decreased to $34.9 million ($0.28 per basic share) compared to $37.3 million ($0.29 per basic share) in the second quarter of 2017. Margin expansion in prepared meats and volume growth in plant protein were offset by investments to launch the food renovation in our major brands and lower market values in pork. Second quarter results were also impacted by the change in the fair value of biological assets, unrealized gains on derivative contracts and lower restructuring charges, which are excluded in calculating Adjusted Operating Earnings.

      For the first six months, net earnings were $62.8 million ($0.50 per basic share) compared to $67.4 million ($0.52 per basic share) last year. The decrease in net earnings for year to date is consistent with the factors noted above.

      Adjusted Operating Earnings decreased to $57.8 million compared to $75.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. Challenging market conditions in the pork complex and investments to launch food renovation of major brands more than offset lower input costs, positive sales mix and continued progress in supply chain efficiency. 

      Adjusted Operating Earnings in the first six months was $110.6 million compared to $134.0 million last year. The decrease in Adjusted Operating Earnings is consistent with the factors noted above.

      Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the second quarter was 10.1% compared to 11.2% in the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months, Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased to 10.1% from 11.0% consistent with the factors noted above.

      Other Matters

      On July 25, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.13 per share payable September 28, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 7, 2018. Unless indicated otherwise by the Company at or before the time the dividend is paid, this dividend will be considered an eligible dividend for the purposes of the "Enhanced Dividend Tax Credit System".

      On June 27, 2018, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire two processing plants and associated supply from Cericola Farms, a privately held company. The transaction will be financed through a combination of cash-on-hand and drawings under the existing credit facility and is expected to close in August, subject to normal closing requirements including Competition Bureau review.

      Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

      The Company uses the following non-IFRS measures: Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net (Debt) Cash. 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 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 condensed consolidated interim statements of earnings to Adjusted Operating Earnings 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 Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization

      Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest and income taxes plus depreciation and intangible asset amortization, 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 following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported under IFRS in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of earnings to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended, as indicated below. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful in assessing the performance of the Company's ongoing operations and its ability to generate cash flows to fund its cash requirements, including the Company's capital investment program.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.  

      In addition, these statements and expectations concerning the performance of the Company's business in general are based on a number of factors and assumptions including, but not limited to: the condition of the Canadian, U.S., and Japanese economies; the rate of exchange of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, and the Japanese yen; the availability and prices of raw materials, energy and supplies; product pricing; the availability of insurance; the competitive environment and related market conditions; improvement of operating efficiencies; continued access to capital; the cost of compliance with environmental and health standards; no adverse results from ongoing litigation; no unexpected actions of domestic and foreign governments; and the general assumption that none of the risks identified below or elsewhere in this document will materialize.

      • cyclical nature of the cost and supply of hogs and the competitive nature of the pork market generally; 
      • risks related to the health status of livestock; 
      • impact of a pandemic on the Company's operations;
      • the Company's exposure to currency exchange risks; 
      • ability of the Company to hedge against the effect of commodity price changes through the use of commodity futures and options;
      • impact of changes in the market value of the biological assets and hedging instruments;
      • risks associated with the supply management system for poultry in Canada;
      • risks associated with the use of contract manufacturers;
      • impact of international events on commodity prices and the free flow of goods; 
      • risks posed by compliance with extensive government regulation;
      • risks posed by litigation; 
      • impact of changes in consumer tastes and buying patterns; 
      • impact of extensive environmental regulation and potential environmental liabilities;
      • risks associated with a consolidating retail environment; 
      • risks posed by competition;  
      • risks associated with complying with differing employment laws and practices, the potential for work stoppages due to non-renewal of collective agreements, and recruiting and retaining qualified personnel;  
      • risks associated with pricing the Company's products; 
      • risks associated with managing the Company's supply chain; and
      • risks associated with failing to identify and manage the strategic risks facing the Company. 
      • Impact of changes in International Financial Reporting Standards and other accounting standards that the Company is required to adhere to for regulatory purposes
