Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On February 20, 2007, ConAgra Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) will make a presentation to the Consumer Analyst Group of New York beginning at 11:30 a.m. EST. The slides used in the presentation by the Company in this webcasted event are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The Company also issued a press release on February 20, 2007 regarding certain aspects of the presentation and the Company’s preliminary estimate of the impact of the recent Peter Pan Peanut Butter product recall. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The presentation and earnings release contain the non-GAAP financial measure of expected fiscal 2007 diluted earnings per share on an adjusted basis. The presentation also contains the non-GAAP financial measures of expected fiscal 2007 Consumer Foods operating margins on an adjusted basis, expected fiscal 2007 ROIC and expected fiscal 2007 EBIT margin. Management believes these metrics provide a useful measure for investors in examining the Company’s and its Consumer Foods’ segment’s expected operational results for the year and facilitate year-to-year comparisons.
