REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to current expectations regarding
our future financial condition, performance and results of operations, planned capital expenditures, long-term objectives of management, supply and demand, pricing
trends and market forces, and integration plans and expected benefits of transactions and are often identified by the use of words and phrases such as "anticipate,"
"believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "should," "will," "would," "is likely to," "is expected to" or "will continue," or
the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
from those projected. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained in this release and that may affect the company's
prospects in general include, but are not limited to, (a) general economic and business conditions and the competitive conditions in the baked foods industry, including
promotional and price competition, (b) changes in consumer demand for our products, including changes in consumer behavior, trends and preferences, including health
and whole grain trends, and the movement toward more inexpensive store-branded products, (c) the success of productivity improvements and new product introductions,
(d) a significant reduction in business with any of our major customers including a reduction from adverse developments in any of our customer's business, including as a
result of product recalls or safety concerns related to our products, (e) fluctuations in commodity pricing, (f) energy and raw material costs and availability and hedging and
counterparty risk, (g) our ability to fully integrate recent acquisitions into our business, (h) our ability to achieve cash flow from capital expenditures and acquisitions and
the availability of new acquisitions that build shareholder value, (i) our ability to successfully implement our business strategies, including those strategies the company has
initiated under Project Centennial, which may involve, among other things, the integration of recent acquisitions or the acquisition or disposition of assets at presently
targeted values, the deployment of new systems and technology and an enhanced organizational structure, (j) consolidation within the baking industry and related
industries, (k) disruptions in our direct-store delivery system, including litigation or an adverse ruling from a court or regulatory or government body that could affect the
independent contractor classification of our independent distributors, (l) increasing legal complexity and legal proceedings that we are or may become subject to, (m)
product recalls or safety concerns related to our products, and (n) the failure of our information technology systems to perform adequately, including any interruptions,
intrusions or security breaches of such systems. The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of
importance. In addition, you should consult other public disclosures made by the company, including the risk factors included in our most recently filed Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and disclosures made in other filings with the SEC and company
press releases, for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the company. We caution you not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date made and are inherently uncertain. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update such
statements, except as required by law.

REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, from time to time, the company may
present in its public statements, press releases and SEC filings, non-GAAP financial measures such as, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin,
adjusted net income, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income by segment, adjusted EBIT by segment, adjusted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted selling,
distribution and administrative expenses (SD&A), gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA. The reconciliations attached provide
reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The company’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures
may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The company defines EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and income attributable to non-
controlling interest. The company believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for managing the operations of its business and is an indicator of the company's ability to incur and service
indebtedness and generate free cash flow. EBITDA is used as the primary performance measure in the company's 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. Furthermore,
pursuant to the terms of our credit facility, EBITDA is used to determine the company's compliance with certain financial covenants. The company also believes that EBITDA measures are
commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as measures of a company's operating performance and debt servicing ability because EBITDA measures
assist in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation or amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods and non-operating
factors (such as historical cost). EBITDA is also a widely-accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service indebtedness. EBITDA should not be considered an
alternative to (a) income from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance; (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as
determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the company's ability to meet its cash needs; or (c) any other indicator of performance or liquidity that has been determined in
accordance with GAAP. The company defines adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted operating income, adjusted
operating income by segment, adjusted EBIT by segment, adjusted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted selling, distribution and administrative expenses (SD&A), respectively,
excluding the impact of asset impairment charges, Project Centennial consulting costs, lease terminations and legal settlements, acquisition-related costs, and pension plan settlements.
Adjusted income tax expense also excludes the impact of tax reform. The company believes that these measures, when considered together with its GAAP financial results, provides
management and investors with a more complete understanding of its business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of certain charges. Net debt to
EBITDA is used as a measure of financial leverage employed by the company. Gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization is used as a performance measure to provide additional
transparent information regarding our results of operations on a consolidated and segment basis. Changes in depreciation and amortization are separately discussed and include
depreciation and amortization for materials, supplies, labor and other production costs and operating activities. Presentation of gross margin includes depreciation and amortization in the
materials, supplies, labor and other production costs according to GAAP. Our method of presenting gross margin excludes the depreciation and amortization components, as discussed
above. The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
