Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On June 30, 2015, ConAgra Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release and posted a question and answer document (“Q&A”) on its website containing information on the Company’s fourth quarter fiscal 2015 financial results. The press release and Q&A are furnished with this Form 8-K as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.
The press release and Q&A include the non-GAAP financial measures of diluted earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted for items impacting comparability, adjusted operating profit for each of the Consumer Foods, Commercial Foods and Private Brands segments, adjusted unallocated corporate expense, effective tax rate excluding items impacting comparability and net debt. Management considers GAAP financial measures as well as such non-GAAP financial information in its evaluation of the Company’s financial statements and believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information to assess the Company’s operating performance and financial position. To the extent required, these measures are reconciled in the press release and Q&A to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Company’s diluted earnings per share, operating performance and financial measures as calculated in accordance with GAAP. The inability to predict the amount and timing of future items makes a detailed reconciliation of projections of diluted EPS and effective tax rate adjusted for items impacting comparability, impracticable.
