Explanatory Note
TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (the Company) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006, which was originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 14, 2006 (Original Filing), to amend Part I
Financial Information Item 1 Financial Statements, and Item 4 Controls and Procedures. This
Amendment restates the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 to
reclassify the Companys revolving credit agreement as a non-current liability. The following
items have been amended as a result of the restatement:
|
|
|
(i). Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, has been revised to correct the
classification of our revolving credit agreement in our condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 2006; |
|
|
|
|
(ii). Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures, has been revised to disclose certain
matters identified in connection with our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30,
2006. |
Additionally, Item 6. of Part II, Exhibits, of this Amendment has been revised to contain
currently-dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1,
31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, respectively. Investors should rely on the restated financial statements for
the quarter ended June 30, 2006, and, as the Company, previously reported on Form 8-K on November
9, 2006, should not rely on the Companys previously issued consolidated financial statements for
such reporting period.
This Amendment only relates to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This Amendment does not
reflect events occurring after the Original Filing or otherwise modify or update the disclosure
contained therein in any way except as expressly indicated above. Accordingly, this Amendment
should be read in conjunction with the Companys filings made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission subsequent to the Original Filing.

TREEHOUSE FOODS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
1. General
TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (TreeHouse) was formed on January 25, 2005 by Dean Foods Company
(Dean Foods) in order to accomplish a spin-off to its shareholders of certain specialty
businesses. Dean Foods transferred the assets and liabilities of its former Specialty Foods Group
segment, in addition to the Mocha Mix®, Second Nature® and
foodservice salad dressings businesses conducted by other businesses owned by Dean Foods, to
TreeHouse. TreeHouse common stock held by Dean Foods was distributed to Dean Foods stockholders on
a distribution ratio of one share of TreeHouse common stock for every five shares of Dean Foods
common stock outstanding. The transfer of assets and liabilities and the distribution of shares
(the Distribution) were completed on June 27, 2005 and TreeHouse commenced operations as an
independent public company. Dean Foods has no continuing stock ownership in TreeHouse.
For periods prior to June 27, 2005, all of the historical assets, liabilities, sales,
expenses, income, cash flows, products, businesses and activities of our business that we describe
in this report as ours are in fact the historical assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, income,
cash flows, products, businesses and activities of the businesses transferred to TreeHouse by Dean
Foods. References in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in these
Notes to TreeHouse we, our and us mean TreeHouse. Our historical financial results as part
of Dean Foods do not reflect what our financial results would have been had we been operated as a
separate, independent company during the periods presented.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in
this Quarterly Report have been prepared on the same basis as the Consolidated Financial Statements
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In our opinion, we have
made all necessary adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) in order to
present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. As permitted, certain
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted. Our results of operations for the period ended
June 30, 2006 may not be indicative of our operating results for the full year. The Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction
with our 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2006.
Use of Estimates The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
requires us to use our judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
Stock-Based Compensation (Post-Distribution) Effective July 1, 2005, we have adopted the
requirements of SFAS 123(R) Share-Based Payment. This statement requires that compensation paid
with equity instruments be measured at grant-date fair value and that the resulting expense be
recognized over the relevant service period. Prior to the quarter beginning July 1, 2005, we
elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. As such, no compensation expense was recognized prior to the quarter beginning July 1,
2005 as stock options were granted at exercise prices that were at or above market value at the
grant date.
Income Taxes Prior to the Distribution we were included in Dean Foods consolidated income
tax returns and we did not file separate federal tax returns. Our income taxes were determined and
recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements as if we were filing a separate return for
federal income tax purposes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151, which is effective for
inventory costs incurred during years beginning after June 15, 2005, clarifies the accounting for
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material, requiring
that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that
allocation of fixed production overheads be based on the normal capacity of the production
facilities. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of
APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in years
beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the rule in APB No. 29 which excluded from
fair value measurement exchanges of similar productive assets. Instead SFAS No. 153 excludes from
fair value measurement exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The
adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
6
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS
154 replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3,
Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28.
SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error
corrections. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application of the direct effect of a voluntary
change in accounting principle to prior periods financial statements where it is practicable to do
so. SFAS 154 also redefines the term restatement to mean the correction of an error by revising
previously issued financial statements. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and error
corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 unless adopted early. The
adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows, except to the extent that the statement subsequently
requires retrospective application of a future item.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements and prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the
impact this interpretation will have on our financial statements.
3. Discontinued Operations
On September 7, 2004, we announced our decision to exit our nutritional beverages business.
Our decision to exit this line of business resulted from significant declines in volume, which we
believed could not be replaced. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, our
financial statements reflect our former nutritional beverages business as discontinued operations.
The property and equipment was written down in 2004 to its estimated fair value of $1.0 million and
held for sale at June 30, 2006.
Net sales and income (loss) before taxes generated by our nutritional beverages business were

4. Facility Closing and Reorganization Costs
Facility Closing and Reorganization Costs We recorded facility closing costs of $1.0 million
in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006
related to the closing of the La Junta, Colorado pickle manufacturing facility and distribution
center. In addition, the La Junta, Colorado property and equipment, which was written down to its
estimated fair value of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, was being held for sale as of
June 30, 2006. Subsequently, on July 10, 2006 the distribution center was sold for $2.0 million.
Facility closing and reorganization costs are recorded as General and Administrative expense in the
condensed consolidated statement of income.
Activity with respect to these liabilities for 2006 is summarized below:

Intangible assets acquired in the six months ended June 30, 2006 are customer
related intangibles acquired in the pickle segment in February 2006 and the trademarks, customer
lists and transition services agreement with Del Monte Foods Company resulting from the acquisition
of the soup and infant feeding business in April 2006. The trademarks are deemed to have
indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely. Customer
related intangibles are estimated to have a useful life of fifteen years and are being amortized
over a fifteen year period on a straight line basis. Other intangibles relate to favorable terms
on the transition services agreement with Del Monte Foods Company, which is being amortized on a
straight line basis over the nine month term of the agreement. The company is in the process of
finalizing the fair value and useful lives of these assets and as a result the amortization expense
is subject to revision.
Amortization expense on intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
was $845,000 and $414,000, respectively and $1.3 million and $828,000 in the six months ended June
30, 2006 and 2005 respectively. Estimated aggregate intangible asset amortization expense for the

Revolving Credit Facility Effective June 27, 2005 we entered into a five-year unsecured
revolving credit agreement with a group of participating financial institutions under which we can
borrow up to $400 million. This agreement also includes a $75 million letter of credit sublimit,
against which a $1.4 million letter of credit has been issued, but undrawn. We may request to
increase the commitments under the credit facility up to an aggregate of $500 million upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions. Proceeds from the credit facility may be used for working
capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisition financing. The credit facility
contains various financial and other restrictive covenants and requires that we maintain certain
financial ratios, including a leverage and interest coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all
applicable covenants as of June 30, 2006. We believe that, given our current cash position, our
cash flow from operating activities and our available credit capacity, we can comply with the
current terms of the credit facility and meet foreseeable financial requirements.
Interest is payable quarterly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on
any outstanding borrowings at a customary Eurodollar rate plus the applicable margin or at a
customary base rate. The underlying rate is defined as either the rate offered in the inter-bank
Eurodollar market or the higher of the prime lending rate of the administrative agent or federal
funds rate plus 0.5%. The applicable margin for Eurodollar loans is based on our consolidated
leverage ratio and ranges from 0.50% to 0.80%. In addition, a facility fee based on our
consolidated leverage ratio and ranging from 0.125% to 0.20% is due quarterly on all commitments
under the credit facility. Our average interest rate on debt outstanding at June 30, 2006 was
5.87%.
The credit facility contains limitations on liens, investments, the incurrence of subsidiary
indebtedness, mergers, dispositions of assets, acquisitions, material lines of business and
transactions with affiliates. The credit facility restricts certain payments, including dividends,
and prohibits certain agreements restricting the ability of our subsidiaries to make certain
payments or to guarantee our obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility contains
standard default triggers, including without limitation:
|
|
|
failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts due and payable under the credit facility and related loan documents; |
|
|
|
|
failure to maintain compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in the credit agreement; |
|
|
|
|
incorrect or misleading representations or warranties; |
|
|
|
|
default on certain of our other debt; |
|
|
|
|
the existence of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; |
|
|
|
|
insolvency; |
|
|
|
|
existence of certain material judgments; |
|
|
|
|
failure to maintain compliance with ERISA; |
|
|
|
|
the invalidity of certain provisions in any loan document; and |
|
|
|
|
a change of control. |
Capital Lease Obligations and Other Capital lease obligations include various promissory
notes for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and capital lease obligations. The various
promissory notes payable provide for interest at varying rates and are payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest until maturity, when the remaining principal balances are
due. Capital lease obligations represent machinery and equipment financing obligations, which are
payable in monthly installments of principal and interest and are collateralized by the related
assets financed.
Receivables-Backed Facility Prior to the Distribution, we participated in Dean Foods
receivables-backed facility. We sold our accounts receivable to a wholly-owned special purpose
entity controlled by Dean Foods that is intended to be bankruptcy-remote. The special purpose
entity transferred the receivables to third-party asset-backed commercial paper conduits sponsored
by major financial institutions. The Dean foods receivables-backed facility bears interest at a
variable rate based on the commercial paper yield, as defined in the agreement. Dean Foods did not
allocate interest related to the receivables-backed facility to its segments. Therefore, no
interest costs related to this facility have been reflected in our Consolidated Income Statements.
Effective April 1, 2005, we ceased to participate in Dean Foods receivables-backed facility.

8. Stockholders Equity and Earnings per Share
Common stock distribution and issuance Our common stock was distributed to Dean Foods
stockholders on June 27, 2005 in the ratio of one share of TreeHouse common stock for every five
shares of Dean Foods outstanding as of the record date of June 20, 2005. As a result, Dean Foods
distributed 30,287,925 shares of TreeHouse common stock to its shareholders. In conjunction with
entering into employment agreements, TreeHouse management purchased approximately 1.67% of
TreeHouse common stock directly from Dean Foods in January 2005. These shares are equivalent to
513,353 shares on a post-Distribution basis. As of June 30, 2006, there were 31,202,473 shares
issued and outstanding. There is no treasury stock and there is no remaining stock ownership by
Dean Foods.
Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number
of weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. For all periods prior to
June 30, 2005, basic earnings per share are computed using our shares outstanding as of the date of
the completion of the Distribution. Diluted earnings per share incorporate the incremental shares
issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options. Certain of the Companys stock options were
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive, but
these options could be dilutive in the future. The restricted stock and restricted stock unit
awards are subject to market conditions for vesting which were not met as of June 30, 2006, so
these awards are also excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.
Prior to completion of the Distribution, Dean Foods converted options on Dean Foods stock held
by Deans chairman and chief executive officer. These were converted on a pro-rata basis between
options for Dean Foods and TreeHouse shares. As a result, there are 344,805 options outstanding as
of June 30, 2006, which are exercisable at various prices. The new awards maintained both the
pre-conversion aggregate intrinsic value of each award and the ratio of the exercise price per
share to the market value per share. The net dilutive effect of these options are included in the
diluted earnings per share calculation for all periods presented. During the quarter ended June 30,
2006, 114,700 options held by Deans chairman and chief executive officer were exercised at a total
price of $1.5 million.
The following table summarizes the effect of the share-based compensation awards on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share:

employment agreements. All options granted have three year terms which vest one-third on each of
the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the total intrinsic value of stock options
exercised was approximately $1.5 million. No stock options were exercised in the first six months
of 2005. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options was $3.4 million and
$2.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2006 and $11.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively, at
June 30, 2005. The tax benefit recognized from stock option exercises in both the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2006 was $.6 million. Compensation cost related to unvested options
totaled $11.4 million at June 30, 2006 and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of
the grants, which averages 2.1 years. The average grant date fair value of options granted in 2006
was $9.65.
10
In addition to stock options, in 2005 certain key management employees were granted restricted
stock and restricted stock units pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements. TreeHouse
issued 630,942 shares of restricted stock and 616,802 restricted stock units in the second quarter
of 2005, of which 583,622 and 584,339, respectively, are outstanding as of June 30, 2006.
Restricted stock generally vests one-third on each of January 27, 2006, 2007 and 2008. It is
subject to a market condition that requires that the total shareholder return of TreeHouse exceed
the median of a peer group of 22 companies for the applicable vesting period. In addition, there is
a cumulative test at January 27, 2007 through 2010 that allows for vesting of previously unvested
grants if the total shareholder return test is met on a cumulative basis. Restricted stock units
have the same vesting dates as restricted stock, but they are subject to the condition that the
price of TreeHouse stock exceeds $29.65 on each vesting date. The cumulative test extends for the
two anniversary dates beyond the last vesting date of January 27, 2008. No restricted stock units
or restricted shares were outstanding at June 30, 2006. Future compensation cost related to
outstanding restricted stock units and shares of restricted stock totaled approximately $2.0
million and will be recognized over the next 2.75 years.
As stated in Note 2, for the quarter beginning July 1, 2005, we adopted the requirements of
SFAS 123(R) Share Based Payments. The company elected to use the modified prospective application
of SFAS 123(R) for these awards issued prior to July 1, 2005. Income from continuing operations
before tax for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 included share-based compensation
expense for employee and director stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units of
$4.4 million and $9.2. million, respectively.
10. Employee Retirement and Postretirement Benefits
Pension, Profit Sharing and Postretirement Benefits Our employees and retirees participate
in various pension, profit sharing and other postretirement benefit plans previously sponsored by
Dean Foods. At the time of the Distribution, the obligations related to such plans were transferred
to TreeHouse. Employee benefit plan obligations and expenses included in our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements are determined based on plan assumptions, employee demographic data, claims
and payments. In addition, as part of the acquisition of the soup and infant feeding business, we
provide healthcare benefits to certain retirees who are covered under specific contracts. The net
period benefit cost for the group was approximately $.7 million in the three months ended June 30,
2006.
Defined Benefit Plans The benefits under our defined benefit plans are based on years of
service and employee compensation.

11. Acquisition
On April 24, 2006, we completed the acquisition of certain real estate, equipment, machinery,
inventory, raw materials, intellectual property and other assets that are related to the Del Monte
Foods Company (1) private label soup business, (2) infant feeding business conducted under the
brand name Natures Goodness®, and (3) the food service soup business (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the Soup and Infant Feeding Business), and assumed certain liabilities to the
extent related thereto. Immediately following the completion of the acquisition, the Soup and
Infant Feeding Business became a division of our operating subsidiary, Bay Valley Foods, LLC. The
acquisition of the soup and infant feeding business expands our offerings, primarily in the private
label market allowing us to provide a broader line of goods to our customers. The value we expect
to realize as a company is believed to exceed the amount paid to acquire the business.
The purchase price (subject to finalization of an adjustment for working capital) paid for the
soup and infant feeding business by TreeHouse was $284.1 million, which includes acquisition
related costs of $5.2 million. In addition TreeHouse assumed postretirement, vacation pay and
lease, and other liabilities of $41.4 million. The acquisition was financed through $250 million
of borrowings under our existing $400 million credit facility and available cash balances.
The acquisition is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results
of operations are included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase
price was allocated to the net assets acquired based upon estimated fair market values at the date
of acquisition. The purchase price allocations are preliminary because we have not finalized our
estimate of the fair value of long-lived assets or intangible assets acquired. We have made a
preliminary allocation to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
as follows:

We have hired a third party valuation firm to establish the fair value of the soup
and infant feeding business inventory, real estate, machinery and equipment and the fair value of
identifiable intangible assets. As a result of information obtained as we operate the business,
values assigned to these assets could change. We are also assessing certain liabilities assumed in
the transaction.
We have recorded intangible assets of $144.8 million during the three month period ended June
30, 2006, including $108.7 million of goodwill, $8.0 million of trademark indefinite lived
intangibles and $28.1 million of customer and contract related definite lived intangibles. The
weighted average useful life of the definite lived intangibles is fifteen years and $28.1 million
of the intangible asset value is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The Company has entered into a transition services agreement with Del Monte Foods Company
whereby Del Monte will continue to provide various administrative and information technology
support services until the soup and infant feeding business can be fully integrated into TreeHouse.
The following pro forma summary presents the effect of the soup and infant feeding business
acquired during the second quarter of 2006 as though the business had been acquired as of January
1, 2005 and is based upon unaudited financial information of the acquired entity (in thousands,
except per share data):

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification of Dean Foods We have an agreement with Dean Foods under which we have
agreed to assume all contingent and undisclosed liabilities relating to our businesses or
operations of our assets, including those incurred prior to the Distribution, and to indemnify Dean
Foods for liabilities, other than certain tax liabilities, incurred by Dean Foods relating to the
businesses or operations of our assets. In addition, under the tax sharing agreement, we will, with
limited exceptions, be liable for all taxes attributable to our business that are required to be
paid after the Distribution. We have agreed to indemnify Dean Foods for claims arising under the
distribution agreement and the tax sharing agreement.
Tax Sharing Agreement We entered into a tax sharing agreement with Dean Foods which
generally governs Dean Foods and our respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the
Distribution with respect to taxes attributable to our business.
Under the tax sharing agreement, we are also liable for taxes that may be incurred by Dean
Foods that arise from the failure of the Distribution to qualify as a tax-free transaction under
Section 355 of the Code (including as a result of Section 355(e) of the Code) if the failure to so
qualify is attributable to actions, events, or transactions relating to the stock, assets, or
business of us or any of our affiliates, or a breach of the relevant representations or covenants
made by us in the tax sharing agreement or the Distribution agreement or to Wilmer Cutler Pickering
Hale and Dorr LLP in connection with rendering its opinion. If the failure of the Distribution to
qualify under Section 355 of the Code is attributable to a breach of certain representations made
by both us and Dean Foods or a change in law or change in the interpretation or application of any
existing law after the execution of the tax sharing agreement, we will be liable for 50% of the
taxes arising from the failure to so qualify.
Litigation, Investigations and Audits We are party from time to time to certain claims,
litigation, audits and investigations. We believe that we have established adequate reserves to
satisfy any probable liability we may have under all such claims, litigations, audits and
investigations that are currently pending. In our opinion, the settlement of any such currently
pending or threatened matter is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial
position, annual results of operations or cash flows.
13. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Cash payments for interest were $3.8 million and $.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash payments for income taxes were $10.7 million and $0 for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
13
14. Related Party Transactions
Management Fee Paid to Dean Foods Prior to the Distribution, Dean Foods provided us with
certain administrative services such as tax, treasury, human resources, risk management, legal,
information technology, internal audit, accounting and reporting in return for a management fee.
The management fee was based on budgeted annual expenses for Dean Foods corporate headquarters and
allocated among Dean Foods segments. We paid Dean Foods a management fee of $1.5 million and $2.9
million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. No management fees
have been paid to Dean post-Distribution.
Refrigerated Products Effective with the Distribution, we consolidated the Refrigerated
Products manufacturing activities into a leased facility in City of Industry, California. For
periods prior to the Distribution, product costs were charged to the Refrigerated Products
businesses based on the direct materials, direct processing costs and allocated indirect labor,
benefits and other processing and facility costs applicable to our products on a shared services
basis. As a result, our Consolidated Statements of Income for periods prior to the Distribution
reflect the fully absorbed costs for these products, along with allocated distribution, commission
and administrative costs based on the volumes of products sold, including Refrigerated Products.
Agreements We have entered into a trademark license agreement, co-pack agreement and
transition services agreement with Dean Foods. These agreements have not had a material impact on
the operations of the company.
Sales to Dean Foods Sales to Dean Foods were not significant for the six months ended June
30, 2005.
15. Business and Geographic Information and Major Customers
Our pickles segment sells a variety of pickle, relish, sauerkraut and pepper products under
customer brands and under our proprietary brands including Farmans®,
Nalleys®, Peter Piper® and Steinfeld. Branded products
are sold to retailers and private label products are sold to retailers, foodservice customers and
in bulk to other food processors. The pickles segment also includes shrimp, seafood, tartar,
horseradish, chili, sweet and sour sauces and syrups sold to retail grocers in the Eastern,
Midwestern and Southeastern United States. These products are sold under the
Bennetts®, Hoffman House® and
Roddenberrys® Northwoods® brand names.
Our non-dairy powdered creamer segment includes private label powdered creamer and our
proprietary Cremora® brand. The majority of our powdered products are sold
under customer brands to retailers, distributors and in bulk to other food companies for use as
ingredients in their products.
In addition to powdered coffee creamer, we also sell shortening powders and other high-fat
powder formulas used in baking, beverage mixes, gravies and sauces.
Our soup and infant feeding business segment sells condensed and ready to serve soups, broths
and gravies as well as infant baby cereals, fruits, vegetables, juices, meats, dinners and
desserts. We sell our soups and gravies under private labels primarily to supermarkets and mass
merchandisers. Infant feeding products are sold under the Natures Goodness®
brand and offer a complete product line focused on the four steps of a babys development. The
infant feeding products are sold to customers in grocery, and foodservice channels.
Our aseptic products and other refrigerated products do not qualify as a reportable segment
and are included under other food products. Aseptic products are sterilized using a process which
allows storage for prolonged periods without refrigeration. We manufacture aseptic cheese sauces
and puddings. Our cheese sauces and puddings are sold primarily under private labels to
distributors. Our refrigerated products include Mocha
Mix®, a non-dairy liquid
creamer, Second Nature®, a liquid egg substitute, and salad dressings sold in
foodservice channels.
We have designated our reportable segments based on how management views our business and on
differences in manufacturing processes between product categories. We do not segregate assets
between segments for internal reporting. Therefore, asset-related information has been presented in
total.
We evaluate the performance of our segments based on sales dollars, gross profit and adjusted
gross margin (gross profit less freight out and commissions). The amounts in the following tables
are obtained from reports used by our senior management team and do not include any allocated
income taxes. There are no significant non-cash items reported in segment profit or loss other than
depreciation and amortization. The accounting policies of our segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies set forth in Note 2 to our 2005
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Geographic Information During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we had foreign
sales of approximately 2.5% and 1% of consolidated net sales, respectively. We primarily export to
South America and Canada.
Major Customers Our non-dairy powdered creamer segment and soup and infant feeding segment
had one customer that represented greater than 10% of consolidated net sales during the first six
months of 2006 and 2005. Approximately 14.4% and 11.5% of our consolidated net sales were to that
customer. Our other food products segment had two customers that represented greater than 10% of
our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Approximately 11.4% and 12.2% of our
consolidated net sales were to those customers for 2006 and 2005, respectively.
16. Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of its condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended
June 30, 2006, the Company determined that $248,300 of borrowings under the Companys revolving
credit facility should be reclassified from current liabilities to long-term debt. As a result,
the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 has been restated from
the amounts previously reported. This restatement has no impact on the Companys results of
operations or net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three or
sixth month periods ended June 30, 2006. A summary of the effects of the restatement is as
follows:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Overview
We believe we are the largest manufacturer of pickles and non-dairy powdered creamer in the
United States based upon total sales volumes. We believe we are also the leading retail supplier of
private label pickles, non-dairy powdered creamer and soup in the United States. We have three
reportable segments of which the soup and infant feeding segment was added in the second quarter of
2006. We discuss the following segments in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations: pickles, soup and infant feeding and non-dairy powdered
creamer. We have designated our reportable segments based on how management views our business and
on differences in manufacturing processes between product categories. The key performance
indicators of our segments are sales dollars, gross profit and adjusted gross margin, which is
gross profit less the cost of transporting products to customer locations (referred to in the
tables below as freight out) and commissions paid to independent brokers.
15
Our current operations consist of the following:
|
|
|
Our pickles segment sells pickles, peppers, relishes and
related products. We supply private label pickles to
supermarkets and mass merchandisers across the United
States. We also sell pickle products to foodservice
customers, including relish and hamburger pickle slices. In
addition, we sell pickle products under our own brands,
including Farmans®,
Nalleys®, Peter
Piper® and Steinfeld that have a
regional following in certain areas of the country. Our
pickles segment also sells sauces and syrups to retail
grocers in the Eastern, Midwestern and Southeastern United
States under our proprietary
Bennetts®, Hoffman
House® and
Roddenberrys®
Northwoods® brand names |
|
|
|
|
Our soup and infant feeding business segment sells
condensed and ready to serve soups, broths and gravies as
well as infant baby cereals, fruits, vegetables, juices,
meats, dinners and desserts. We sell our soups and gravies
under private labels primarily to supermarkets and mass
merchandisers. Infant feeding products are sold under the
Natures Goodness® brand and offer a complete
product line focused on the four steps of a babys
development. The infant feeding products are sold to
customers in grocery, mass and foodservice channels. |
|
|
|
|
Our non-dairy powdered creamer segment sells non-dairy
powdered creamer under private labels and under our
proprietary Cremora® brand. Product
offerings in this segment include private label products
packaged for retailers, such as supermarkets and mass
merchandisers, foodservice products for use in coffee
service and other industrial applications, including for
repackaging in portion control packages and for use as an
ingredient by other food manufacturers. |
|
|
|
|
We also sell a variety of aseptic and refrigerated
products. Aseptic products are processed under heat and
pressure in a sterile production and packaging environment,
creating a product that does not require refrigeration
prior to use. We manufacture aseptic cheese sauces and
puddings for sale primarily in the foodservice market. Our
refrigerated products include Mocha
Mix®, a non-dairy liquid creamer,
Second Nature®, a liquid egg
substitute, and salad dressings sold in foodservice
channels. |
Prior to 2005, we manufactured and sold aseptic nutritional beverages under co-pack
arrangements and private labels. We exited the nutritional beverages business in the fourth quarter
of 2004 due to significant declines in volume, which we believed could not be replaced without
significant investments in capital and research and development. Our financial statements reflect
the operations and assets related to the nutritional beverages business as discontinued operations.
We sell our products primarily to the retail grocery and foodservice markets.
Spin-Off from Dean Foods TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (TreeHouse) was formed on January 25, 2005
by Dean Foods Company (Dean Foods) in order to accomplish a spin-off to its shareholders of
certain specialty businesses. Dean Foods transferred the assets and liabilities of its former
Specialty Foods Group segment, in addition to the Mocha Mix®, Second
Nature® and foodservice salad dressings businesses conducted by other
businesses owned by Dean Foods to TreeHouse. TreeHouse common stock held by Dean Foods was
distributed to Dean Foods stockholders on a distribution ratio of one share of TreeHouse common
stock for every five shares of Dean Foods common stock outstanding. The transfer of assets and
liabilities and the distribution of shares (the Distribution) were completed on June 27, 2005 and
TreeHouse commenced operations as an independent public company. Dean Foods has no continuing stock
ownership in us.
New York Stock Exchange Listing In conjunction with the Distribution, TreeHouse began
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 28, 2005 under the symbol THS.
Recent Developments
Acquisition On March 1, 2006 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with the
Del Monte Foods Company to acquire the assets of its soup and infant feeding businesses for $284.1
million including an adjustment for working capital. The transaction closed on April 24, 2006. The
acquisition was funded by drawing down approximately $250 million under the Companys $400 million
unsecured revolving credit agreement and available cash. Management has performed a preliminary
allocation of the purchase price, with $179.6 million allocated to tangible assets, $144.8 million
allocated to intangible assets including goodwill, other assets of $1.1 million, and assumed
liabilities of $41.4 million.
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2006, the private label soup and infant feeding businesses
together generated approximately $295 million of net sales. Soup and infant feeding products are
manufactured at facilities in Pittsburgh, PA and Mendota, IL. TreeHouse acquired the Pittsburgh, PA
manufacturing facility and distribution center and entered into a long-term lease agreement at Del
Montes Mendota, IL manufacturing facility. The businesses headquarters will remain in Pittsburgh,
PA.
The Company has entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Del Monte whereby Del Monte
will continue to provide various administrative and information technology support services until
the soup and infant feeding businesses can be fully integrated into TreeHouse.

The increase in sales is largely due to the acquisition of the soup and infant
feeding business in the second quarter. The increase in sales of the pickles segment in the second
quarter of 2006 was mainly the result of the acquisition of the Oxford Foods pickle book of
business in the first quarter of 2006 as well as price increases taken during the first quarter of
2006. Sales prices were raised in response to increases in the cost of raw materials, commodities,
packaging and natural gas. Pickle sales in the second quarter increased 3.7% to $98.3 million in
2006 versus $94.8 million in 2005. Increases in foodservice pickles, due to the Oxford Foods
acquisition, were partially offset by declines in retail private label and branded pickle sales.
Non-dairy powdered creamer sales decreased slightly to $60.8 million in the second quarter compared
to $61.3 million in 2005, as price increases taken in the first quarter of 2006 were offset by unit
volumes declines in retail private label sales. Net sales of other products increased 5.1% to $30.4
million in the second quarter of 2006 from $28.9 million in the second quarter of the prior year
primarily due to increased sales of refrigerated dips.
Cost of Sales All expenses incurred to bring a product to completion are included in cost of
sales, such as raw material, ingredient and packaging costs; labor costs; facility and equipment
costs, including costs to operate and maintain our warehouses; and costs associated with
transporting our finished products from our manufacturing facilities to our own distribution
centers. Cost of sales as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased to 79.1% in the second
quarter of 2006 from 78.1% in the second quarter of 2005,
primarily due to the acquisition of the soup and infant feeding business. Excluding the soup and
infant feeding business cost of sales decreased from 78.1% in the second quarter of 2005 to 77.9%
in the second quarter of 2006. Price increases taken in the first quarter of 2006 as well as cost
reduction initiatives offset rising raw material costs, packaging and natural gas. We continue to
experience increases in commodity costs such as corn syrup and sucrose compared to the second
quarter of 2005. Our packaging costs increased in the second quarter due to higher energy costs
which increased the cost of plastic containers and glass. See Results by Segment.

Operating
Expenses Our operating expenses increased $3.1 million to
$34.5 million during during the second quarter of 2006, compared to $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2005. Selling and distribution expenses
increased $2.2 million or 13.0% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of
2005 due mainly to the acquisition of the soup and infant feeding business. Excluding the soup and
infant feeding expenses our selling and distribution expenses decreased $.7 million or 4.3% to
$16.0 million. Despite higher fuel prices, which we estimate added approximately $.9 million to
distribution costs in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the prior years quarter, we were able
to offset those increases with lower marketing expenditures and strategic initiatives that
increased operating efficiencies and lowered our overall outbound freight costs. General and
administrative expenses increased $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, primarily for the
following reasons: (1) the adoption of SFAS 123(R), Share Based Payments, which increased operating
expenses in the current quarter by $4.4 million, (2) hiring the TreeHouse management team and costs
associated with becoming a publicly held company, which increased operating expense by $4.4 million
from the prior years quarter, (3) costs associated with closing the Lajunta, Colorado facility
totaled $1.0 million in the quarter. In the second quarter of 2005, a $1.4 million management fee
was paid to Dean Foods. No management fees were paid to Dean Foods in the current years second
quarter. Other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2005 recognized $2.3 million of income
from the sale of our Cairo Georgia facility and the settlement of a high fructose corn syrup class
action litigation, which were offset by $9.5 million of transaction expenses associated with the
spin off of TreeHouse from Dean Foods.
Operating Income Operating income during the second quarter of 2006 was $14.0 million, an
increase of $4.9 million, or 54.1%, from operating income of $9.1 million in the second quarter of
2005. Our operating margin was 6.0% in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to 4.9% in the prior
years quarter.
Income Taxes Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 38.8% in the second
quarter of 2006 compared to 82.8% in the prior years quarter. The higher rate in 2005 was due to
$9.5 million of Distribution expenses that were not deductible for income tax purposes. The
effective tax rate in 2005 excluding this item was 38%. The higher effective rate in 2006 is
primarily due to changes in the apportionment of income for state income tax purposes compared to
previous estimates.

The increase in net sales from 2005 to 2006 resulted primarily from the acquisition of the
Oxford Foods foodservice business in the second quarter of 2006. Price increases were taken in all
distribution channels during the first quarter of 2006 due to rising raw materials, packaging and
natural gas. Sales volumes before the acquisition declined 7.0% in the quarter compared to a year
ago primarily in the retail and foodservice (excluding Oxford) pickle category. According to
Information Resources, Inc., sales volumes of pickles by retail grocers were down 4.0% compared to
the second quarter of the prior year.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased from 79.3% in 2005 to 80.2% in 2006
primarily as a result of the increases in raw materials, packaging and natural gas during the
quarter and the higher cost of inventory acquired with the Oxford book of business. We have
implemented several cost reduction initiatives in an attempt to offset these increases. Significant
cost increases in the quarter include (1) a 3% increase in glass packaging costs due in part to
rising natural gas prices; (2) a 5% increase in plastic container costs due to rising resin costs;
(3) a 27% increase in sweeteners, and (4) a 7% increase in natural gas.
18
Freight out and commissions paid to independent brokers increased $.3 million or 5.0%, to $6.6
million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $6.3 million in 2005 primarily as a result of
increased fuel surcharges on outbound freight to our customers. We have initiated cost reduction
programs in an attempt to offset the freight expense.

Net sales in the quarter for soup and infant feeding includes the period from April
24, 2006, the date of acquisition, through June 30, 2006. Revenues in 2006 grew 13.5% primarily
due to additional revenues under co-pack arrangements. Excluding co-pack, revenues rose $.9
million or 2.4% in 2006 from 2005. The increase was due to strong infant feeding sales.
Adjusted gross margins in the current quarter decreased by 3.8% from last year due to the
sales generated from very low margin co-pack arrangements. Excluding co-pack sales margins would
have been 18.7%, with lower margins in 2006 attributable to higher freight costs.

Sales volumes were down during the second quarter of 2006 due to increased retail branded
promotional spending from our competitors as well as soft industrial/bulk sales. According to
Information Resources, Inc. retail sales of shelf stable creamer decreased 4.3% in the quarter
versus the second quarter of the prior year.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 79.6% in the second quarter of 2005
to 76.5% in 2006, as sales price increases taken in the quarter offset increases in raw material,
packaging and natural gas costs. Increases in raw material costs included a 20% increase in corn
syrup and sweeteners, partially offset by a 4% decrease in soybean oil and a 8% decrease in casein
in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. Packaging cost increases
include an 4% increase on plastic offset somewhat by a 10% decrease in PET containers. Natural gas
increased 7% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the prior years quarter.
Freight out and commissions paid to independent brokers increased to $3.1 million in 2006
compared to $2.9 million in 2005 primarily as a result of increased fuel surcharges on outbound
distribution to our customers. We have implemented strategic initiatives in an attempt to offset
those in fuel costs.

Sales increased in the first six months of 2006 largely due to the acquisition of the soup and
infant feeding business. Net sales in the pickles segment increased 2.6% to $172.4 million in the
first six months of 2006 from $168.0 million in the first six months of the prior year primarily
due to the acquisition of Oxford Foods in the first quarter of 2006. Sales in the non-dairy
powdered creamer segment increased 1.4% as a result of increased prices in response to rising input
costs and increased volumes in our retail and industrial channels. Net sales of other products
increased 8.0% to $62.1 million in the first six months of 2006 from $57.5 million in the first
six months of the prior year primarily due to increased sales of refrigerated dips.
Cost of Sales All expenses incurred to bring a product to completion are included in cost of
sales, such as raw material, ingredient and packaging costs; labor costs; facility and equipment
costs, including costs to operate and maintain our warehouses; and costs associated with
transporting our finished products from our manufacturing facilities to our own distribution
centers. Cost of sales as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased to 78.0% in the first
six months of 2006 from 77.7% in the first six months of 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of
the soup and infant feeding business. Excluding the soup and infant feeding business cost of sales
decreased from 77.7% in the first six months of 2005 to 77.3% in the first six months of 2006.
Price increases taken in the first quarter of 2006 as well as cost reduction initiatives offset
rising raw material costs, packaging and natural gas. Higher fuel and energy costs also negatively
impacted cost of sales. We continue to experience increases in commodity costs such as corn syrup
and sucrose compared to the first six months of 2005. See Results by Segment.
Operating Expenses Our operating expenses increased to $62.8 million during the first six
months of 2006 compared to $51.1 million in 2005. Selling and distribution expenses increased $2.1
million or 6.9% in the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005 due mainly
to the acquisition of the soup and infant feeding business. Excluding the soup and infant feeding
expenses our selling and distribution expenses decreased $0.9 million to $29.9 million. Despite
higher fuel prices, which we estimate added approximately $1.7 million to distribution costs in the
first six months of 2006 compared to the prior years period, we were able to offset those
increases with strategic initiatives that increased operating efficiencies and lowered our overall
outbound freight costs. General and administrative expenses increased $19.3 million in the first
six months of 2006, primarily for the following reasons: (1) the adoption of SFAS 123(R), Share
Based Payments, which increased operating expenses in the first six months by $9.2 million, (2)
hiring the TreeHouse management team and costs associated with becoming a publicly held company,
which increased operating expense by $5.7 million from the prior years period, and (3) $2.0
million of costs associated with closing our LaJunta. Colorado facilities. In the first six months
of 2005, a $2.9 million management fee was paid to Dean Foods. No management fees were paid to Dean
Foods in the first six months of 2006. Other operating expenses in the first six months of 2005
recognized $2.3 million of income from the sale of our Cairo Georgia facility and the settlement of
a high fructose corn syrup class action litigation, which were offset by $9.5 million of
transaction expenses associated with the spin off of TreeHouse from Dean Foods.
Operating Income Operating income during the first six months of 2006 was $26.1 million, a
decrease of $1.1 million, or 4.0% from operating income of $27.2 million in the first six months of
2005 as a result of the increased general and administrative expenses. Our operating margin was
6.5% in the first six months of 2006 as compared to 7.8% in the prior year.
Income Taxes Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 38.4% for the first six
months of 2006 compared to 52.1% in the prior year. The non-deductibility of the Distribution
expenses for tax purposes in 2005 caused the large increase in effective tax rate compared to 2006.
Our effective tax rate varies based on the relative earnings of our business units.

The increase in net sales from 2005 to 2006 resulted primarily from the acquisition
of the Oxford Foods foodservice business in the first quarter of 2006. Price increases were taken
in all distribution channels during the first quarter of 2006 due to rising raw materials,
packaging and natural gas. Sales volumes before the acquisition declined 6.6% in the first six
months of 2006 compared to a year ago primarily in the retail and foodservice (excluding Oxford)
pickle category. According to Information Resources, Inc., sales volumes of pickles by retail
grocers were down 7.2% compared to the first six months of the prior year.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 79.3% in 2005 to 79.1% in 2006
primarily as a result of sales price increases, which offset increases in raw materials, packaging
and natural gas during the first six months. We have implemented several cost reduction
initiatives in a effort to offset these increase increases. Significant cost increases in the first
six months include (1) a 4% increase in glass packaging costs due in part to rising natural gas
prices; (2) a 13% increase in plastic container costs due to rising resin costs; (3) a 21% increase
in corn syrup and sweeteners, and (4) a 25% increase in natural gas.
Freight out and commissions paid to independent brokers increased $.2 million or 1.8%, to
$11.3 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to $11.1 million in 2005 primarily as a
result of increased fuel surcharges on outbound freight to our customers. We initiated several
cost reduction programs, which have helped offset the freight expense.

Sales volumes were down during the first six months of 2006 due to increased retail branded
promotional spending from our competitors. According to Information Resources, Inc. retail sales
of shelf stable creamer decreased 7.0% in the first six months of 2006 versus the prior year.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 78.6% in the first six months of
2005 to 75.9% in 2006, as sales price increases taken in the first six months offset increases in
raw material, packaging and natural gas costs. Increases in raw material costs included a 4%
increase in casein, and a 17% increase in corn syrup and sweeteners, partially offset by a 6%
decrease in soybean oil in the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005.
Packaging cost increases include an 8% increase on plastic and PET containers. Natural gas
increased 25% in the first six months of 2006 compared to the prior years six months.
Freight out and commissions paid to independent brokers increased to $6.3 million in 2006
compared to $6.1 million in 2005 primarily as a result of increased fuel surcharges on outbound
distribution to our customers. We have implemented strategic initiatives in an attempt to offset
those in fuel costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Cash Flow
We have generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations.
When we were part of Dean Foods, our cash was swept regularly by Dean Foods. Dean Foods also
funded our operating and investing activities as needed. Dean Foods did not allocate the interest
expense related to segments. Therefore, the interest expense reflected in our Consolidated
Financial Statements, for the periods prior to the Distribution, relates only to our capital
leases. Subsequent to the Distribution, interest expense relates to capital leases and our new
line of credit.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $3.2 million for the first six months
of 2006 compared to 2005, due to:
|
|
|
An increase in net income excluding non-cash items such as
depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation increased cash
by $10.8 million. |
|
|
|
|
An increase in net working capital decreased cash provided from
operating activities by $11.6 million. An increase in accounts
receivable and inventories was offset by an increase in accounts
payable. |
|
|
|
|
A decrease in cash provided by discontinued operations of $2.4 million. |
Net cash used in investing activities was $299.0 million in the first six months of 2006
compared to $7.7 million in the first six months of 2005, an increase of $291.3 million primarily
due to the acquisition of the Oxford Foods pickle book of business for $11.0 million in February
2006 and the acquisition of the soup and infant feeding business for $284.1 million.
Current Debt Obligations
At June 30, 2006 we had $248.3 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility and
$9.7 million of capital leases. In addition, at June 30, 2006 there were $1.4 million in letters of
credit under the revolver that were issued but undrawn.
Our short-term financing needs primarily are for financing of working capital during the year.
Due to the seasonality of pickle production driven by the cucumber harvest cycle, which occurs
primarily during the spring and summer, pickle inventories generally are at a low point in late
spring and at a high point during the fall increasing our working capital requirement. Our
long-term financing needs will depend largely on potential acquisition activity. We are currently
in compliance with all covenants contained in our credit agreement. Our credit agreement, plus cash
flow from operations, is expected to be adequate to provide liquidity for our planned growth
strategy.
See Note 7 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Long-Term Liabilities
Prior to the Distribution, our employees participated in Dean Foods retirement plans. At the
date of Distribution we assumed the liabilities and plan assets related to our employees. These
plans offer pension benefits through various defined benefit pension plans and also offer health
care and life insurance benefits to certain eligible employees and their eligible dependents upon
the retirement of such employees. Reported costs of providing non-contributory defined pension
benefits and other postretirement benefits are dependent upon numerous factors, assumptions and
estimates.
For example, these costs are impacted by actual employee demographics (including age,
compensation levels and employment periods), the level of contributions made to the plan and
earnings on plan assets. Our pension plan assets are primarily made up of equity and fixed income
investments. Changes made to the provisions of the plan may impact current and future pension
costs. Fluctuations in actual equity market returns, as well as changes in general interest rates
may result in increased or decreased pension costs in future periods. Pension costs may be
significantly affected by changes in key actuarial assumptions, including anticipated rates of
return on plan assets and the discount rates used in determining the projected benefit obligation
and pension costs.
We expect to contribute approximately $3.2 million to the pension plans and approximately
$425,000 to the postretirement health plans in 2006, of which approximately $1.5 million was paid
in the six month period ended June 30, 2006.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
We also have the following commitments and contingent liabilities, in addition to contingent
liabilities related to ordinary course litigation, investigations and audits:
|
|
|
certain indemnification obligations in favor of Dean Foods related to tax liabilities related to the Distribution; |
|
|
|
|
certain lease obligations, and |
|
|

Future Capital Requirements
During 2006, we intend to invest a total of approximately $22.0 million in capital
expenditures primarily for our existing manufacturing facilities and distribution capabilities. We
intend to fund these expenditures using cash flow from operations. We intend to spend this amount
as follows:

In 2006, we expect cash interest to be approximately $11.8 million based on
anticipated debt levels including the acquisition of the Del Monte Food Companys soup and infant
feeding business, which closed on April 24, 2006. Cash taxes are expected to be approximately $19.6
million. As of August 8, 2006, $150 million was available for future borrowings under our line of
credit.

Known Trends and Uncertainties
Prices of Raw Materials
We were adversely affected by rising input costs during 2005 and the first six months of 2006,
and we expect our financial results to continue to be adversely affected by high input costs
throughout 2006.
Many of the raw materials that we use in our products rose to unusually high levels during
2005 and continued at high levels in the first half of 2006, including soybean oil, casein, corn
syrup and packaging materials. High fuel costs are also having a negative impact on our results.
Prices for many of these raw materials and packaging materials are expected to remain high and in
some cases may increase during the remainder of 2006. For competitive reasons, we may not be able
to pass along increases in raw materials and other input costs as we incur them. Therefore, the
current raw materials environment may continue to adversely affect our financial results in 2006.
Competitive Environment
There has been significant consolidation in the retail grocery and foodservice industries in
recent years, and mass merchandisers are gaining market share. As our customer base continues to
consolidate, we expect competition to intensify as we compete for the business of fewer customers.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to keep our existing customers, or gain new
customers. As the consolidation of the retail grocery and foodservice industries continues, we
could lose sales if any one or more of our existing customers were to be sold.
Both the difficult economic environment and the increased competitive environment at the
retail and foodservice levels have caused competition to become increasingly intense in our
business. We expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future.

Forward Looking Statements
From time to time, we and our representatives may provide information, whether orally or in
writing, including certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, which are deemed to
be forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
(the Litigation Reform Act). These forward-looking statements and other information are based on
our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.
The words anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend, should and similar
expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such
statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain
risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. We do not
intend to update these forward-looking statements.
In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware
that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very
nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q/A and other public statements we make. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the
outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we may be a party; actions of
competitors; changes and developments affecting our industry; quarterly or cyclical variations in
financial results; development of new products and services; interest rates and cost of borrowing;
our ability to maintain and improve cost efficiency of operations; changes in foreign currency
exchange rates; changes in economic conditions, political conditions, reliance on third parties for
manufacturing of products and provision of services; and other risks that are set forth in the
Risk Factors section, the Legal Proceedings section, the Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and other sections of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q/A, as well as in our Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Fuel Cost
Fuel costs, which represent the most important factor affecting utility costs at our
production facilities and our transportation costs, are currently at very high levels. Forward
purchase contracts for approximately one half our expected requirements for the year are used to
minimize our exposure to fuel costs at our plants.
Interest Rate Fluctuations
We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes or hold derivative financial
instruments, which could expose us to significant market risk. In addition, all of our foreign
sales are transacted in U.S. dollars. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
relates primarily to the increase in the amount of interest expense we expect to pay with respect
to our revolving credit facility entered into in connection with the Distribution, which is tied to
variable market rates. Based on our outstanding debt balance as of June 30, 2006, each 1% rise in
our interest rate would increase our interest expense by approximately $2.5 million annually.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluations were carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer ,of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon those evaluations, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer previously concluded that as of June 30, 2006, these disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
Subsequently, the Company determined on November 9, 2006 that it would restate its June 30, 2006
condensed consolidated balance sheet to reclassify $248,300 of borrowings under the Companys
revolving credit facility from current liabilities, as previously reported, to long-term debt.
Consequently, the Company has reflected this change through the restatement of its consolidated
financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as presented in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q/A. This restatement has no impact on the Companys results of operations or net cash
flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three or sixth month periods ended
June 30, 2006.
25
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reassessed our disclosure
controls and procedures for this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. Based on the reassessment, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures remain effective, as of June 30, 2006. The Companys Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that the issues associated with the
classification of borrowings under the Companys revolving credit agreement were based on an
understanding of the relevant facts and a discussion of the issues surrounding debt classification.
The reclassification resulted from a reexamination of the classification in preparation of the
consolidated financial statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006. This
reexamination of the classification has resulted in the Company now concluding that the appropriate
classification of borrowings under the Companys revolving credit agreement is that presented in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. The judgments used in making these determinations were made
in good faith and were not the product of any deficiency in the Companys controls and procedures.
This Amendment only relates to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The previously
issued Managements Discussion and Analysis in the Original Filing is unchanged. This Amendment
does not reflect events occurring after the Original Filing or include, or otherwise modify or
update, the disclosure contained therein in any way except as expressly indicated above.
Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the
Companys filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original
Filing.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In the second quarter of 2006, we acquired the soup and infant feeding business from the Del
Monte Food Company. In connection with a transition services agreement entered into in connection
with the purchase, certain administrative services are being provided by Del Monte, however, we
believe the services involved are being provided in a manner, which will not have a material affect
on our internal control, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
TreeHouse Foods, Inc.
Westchester, Illinois
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of TreeHouse Foods,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2006, and the related condensed consolidated
statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and of cash
flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These interim financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to
such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 16 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the
Company has restated its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our
report dated March 29, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Part II Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not party to, nor are our properties the subject of, any material pending legal
proceedings. However, we are parties from time to time to certain claims, litigation, audits and
investigations. We believe that we have established adequate reserves to satisfy any potential
liability we may have under all such claims, litigations, audits and investigations that are
currently pending. In our opinion, the settlement of any such currently pending or threatened
matter is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Information regarding risk factors appears in Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations Information Related to Forward-Looking Statements,
in Part I Item 2 of this Form 10-Q/A and in Part I Item 1A of the TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. There have been no material changes from
the risk factors previously disclosed in the TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
