Our 7 Core Strategies 1 Expand our icon brands within simple meals, baked snacks and healthy beverages. 2 Drive higher levels of consumer satisfaction by offering superior value and focusing on wellness, quality and convenience. 3 Make our products more broadly available in existing and new markets. outside partnerships and acquisitions. 4 Strengthen our business through 5 Increase margins by improving price realization and company-wide productivity. 6 Improve overall organizational excellence, diversity, engagement and innovation. 7 Advance a powerful commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Fellow Shareowners, I am pleased to report that in a year of many economic challenges, we delivered solid business performance in fiscal 2009. We generated net sales of $7.586 billion for the year. Organic sales rose by 3 percent1, reflecting strong performance by our flagship U.S. soup business, as well as growth in our U.S. sauce business and our baking and snacking businesses. Supported by our pricing strategy and cost- reduction efforts, we grew our gross margin percentage. Our adjusted net earnings per share rose to $2.22, an increase of 6 percent1. Our adjusted net earnings per share were consistent with our long-term goal of adjusted net earnings per share growth of 5 to 7 percent. In fact, our net earnings per share growth on an adjusted basis has met or exceeded our targeted growth in each of the last seven years. We overcame a number of headwinds to deliver these results, including adverse pressure from currency and a global recession. Consumers across the world responded to the recession with heightened price sensitivity, which allowed us to emphasize the inherent value of many of our products. Overall, our team responded with agility and skill to ensure we met consumers’ and customers’ needs and delivered our profit targets. For these reasons and more, I’m very proud of our management team and all of our employees. Importantly, we achieved our financial goals while continuing to invest in innovation, infrastructure and our geographic footprint to accelerate our long-term growth. For example, we continued to make progress on sodium reduction, which increases the appeal of our soups as nourishing, simple meals. Nearly all of our North American operations successfully completed the transition to SAP, a more effective and efficient enterprise- resource planning system, which we plan to roll out to Australia and New Zealand during fiscal 2010. In our emerging markets business, we continued to advance our entries into Russia and China. In Russia, we greatly enhanced our distribution capabilities through an agreement with Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A., the distributor for Coca-Cola products in Russia. In China, we expanded into Shanghai, backed by continued investment in market research to ensure the strength of our consumer proposition. In addition, we expanded our Pepperidge Farm bakery capabilities by acquiring Ecce Panis, Inc., which gives us entry into the rapidly growing artisan breads segment. All of this work is consistent with our seven core strategies. Regardless of external pressures, we are determined to achieve our annual financial goals while laying the groundwork for even better performance. 1 These amounts were adjusted for certain items not considered to be part of the ongoing business. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures, see page 7. 2 Campbell Soup Company Following Our Success Model Nine years ago, we launched a journey to transform our company. Our mission is straight- forward: “Together we will build the world’s most extraordinary food company by nourishing people’s lives everywhere, every day.” To guide our efforts, we created the Campbell success model, which now includes four goals: Winning in the Workplace Placing the right people into the right positions, and creating a high-performance culture with world-class engagement levels. We recognize that this is a critical first step and the best foundation for competing more effectively in a global marketplace. Winning in the Marketplace Delivering above- average total shareowner returns by meeting the needs of our consumers and customers better, faster, more completely and more uniquely than anyone else. Winning in the Community Building on Campbell’s long tradition of responsible corporate citizenship, particularly in the areas of community service and environmental sustainability. Winning with Integrity Fully complying with the law and holding ourselves to the highest standards of honesty and fairness in all of our actions. Pursuing our success model has helped us elevate our performance. We are confident that by continuing to pursue our success model, we can accelerate our performance and become extraordinary. Winning in the Workplace We have measured our success in the workplace since 2001 through an annual survey of employee engagement, conducted by the Gallup Organization. Last year, for the first time we achieved a world-class employee engagement ratio, which Gallup defines as a ratio of 12 engaged employees to every one actively disengaged employee. In this year’s survey, I am pleased to report that we nearly doubled our engagement to 23:1. Our engagement grand mean — the average of all responses to all 12 survey questions — places us in the 82nd percentile among the companies in Gallup’s global database. Now 70 percent of our work groups have achieved top-quartile engagement scores. Among our top 350 executives, the engagement ratio is at an all-time high of 77:1. This means for every 77 executives who are engaged in our efforts to build our business, only one executive is actively disengaged. As perspective, in 2001 the engagement ratio for these executives was 1:1, among the lowest Gallup had ever seen in a Fortune 500 company. Clearly we’ve come a long way. Campbell Soup Company 3 WI N N I N G I N T He WO Rk pL A Ce Over the past five years Campbell has continued to increase employee engagement to world-class levels as measured by our Gallup survey results. 79% 76% 82% 71% 62% 23:1 12:1 9:1 6:1 4:1 * Measures how Campbell’s overall Grand Mean score compares relative to Gallup’s overall database of respondents ** Ratio of engaged employees divided by those actively disengaged 05 06 07 08 09 05 06 07 08 09 Engagement Percentile* Engagement Ratios** During fiscal 2009, we continued our efforts to foster a workplace environment in which people are valued, opinions count and leaders inspire trust. Our focus areas included diversity and inclusion, flexible work schedules and enhanced workplace safety. We also broke ground on our new employee services building at our World Headquarters in Camden, N.J. Our employees’ response to our workplace efforts has been inspiring, and we will continue working on this goal in fiscal 2010. Winning in the Marketplace We want to win in the marketplace by winning in all three of our core categories: simple meals, anchored in soup; baked snacks, anchored in biscuits and bakery; and healthy beverages, anchored in vegetable-based beverages. Our U.S. soup business this year was strong across the board with sales growing by 5 percent. It was our best year for soup in more than nine years. We continued our efforts in sodium reduction throughout the category, and we now offer nearly 90 soups at healthy sodium levels, enhancing our ability to meet rising consumer demand for healthy, affordable simple meals. Condensed soup had a particularly strong year, with significant sales growth in cooking varieties as well as growth in eating varieties. We also had impressive performance from ready-to-serve soup and broth, including the successful launches of Campbell’s Select Harvest soup, Campbell’s V8 soups and Swanson stock. Moving beyond soup, our sauce business (including Prego pasta sauces and Pace Mexican sauces) responded well to consumers’ search for good value and simple home meal solutions. Our Pepperidge Farm business achieved its fifth straight year of solid performance on the top and bottom lines, and our Asia Pacific region reported significant growth from Arnott’s cookies and crackers and Campbell’s soups and stocks. In the difficult economy we faced in fiscal 2009, not all parts of our portfolio responded equally well. For example, consumers’ heightened price sensitivity impacted demand for several of our premium products, including microwavable soups, V8 vegetable juice, certain Pepperidge Farm bakery products and our foodservice business. In response, we redirected resources, adjusted our pricing strategy or adapted marketing. Due to our agility and adaptability within our portfolio of businesses, we not only grew the overall business in this challenging year, but we also increased the relevance of the consumer value proposition across our brands. 4 Campbell Soup Company WI N N I N G I N T He MA Rk eTpL A Ce During the past five years, Campbell has delivered cumulative total shareowner returns above the peer group average. Five-Year Cumulative Total Shareowner Returns (Point-to-Point)* Campbell’s 37.3% 18.2% peer Group Average (S&P Packaged Foods Index) -3.0% FY09 FY08 FY07 FY06 FY05 Rolling Three-Year Total Shareowner Returns 2.7% 7.7% 6.1% 16.2% 18.3% 7.7% 8.7% 13.8% 10.5% * Dates from 7/30/04 to 7/31/09. Cumulative Returns of Campbell versus the S&P Packaged Foods Index We plan to build on our marketplace success in fiscal 2010. Innovations planned for the coming year include: • The restaging of Campbell’s Chunky soups, solving male consumers’ need for more nutritious ways to satisfy their appetites. • A lower-sodium Campbell’s Condensed Tomato soup, with the same great taste as always. • The introduction of Campbell’s Condensed Light soups, a great value alternative for weight-conscious consumers. • The launch of five new flavors of Campbell’s Select Harvest soups, inspired by healthy Mediterranean cooking. Also, now 12 Campbell’s Select Harvest soups are 100 percent natural. • The restaging of Campbell’s Healthy Request line, bringing lower sodium levels to Campbell’s Chunky, Select Harvest and Condensed soups. • The redesign of the Campbell’s Kitchen website with many simple meal suggestions under $10. • The introduction of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Garden Cheddar crackers helping moms add vegetables to their kids’ favorite snacks. • The introduction in Belgium of Campbell’s Soup’ Maison, a high-quality, home-made style, shelf-stable soup. • A new distribution agreement in Russia, which will allow us to significantly expand the access to our products in this key emerging market. As I have noted in prior letters, in 2005 we set a goal to deliver our industry’s best total shareowner returns over the following decade. We expect to achieve this goal by successfully balancing short-term earnings with the need to make long-term investments. As we near the halfway mark, I am pleased to report that our five-year cumulative total shareowner return, including stock price appreciation and dividends, was twice that of the S&P Packaged Foods Index, at 37.3 percent versus 18.2 percent, even though our return for the rolling three-year period ending in fiscal 2009 fell modestly below the peer index. Winning in the Community Our corporate social responsibility (CSR) program supports the third goal within our success model, winning in the community. Our CSR efforts are focused on four areas: • Our relationships with our customers and consumers; • Environmental sustainability; • The Campbell workplace; and • Community service. Campbell Soup Company 5 Leading with Innovation We continue to deliver breakthrough innovation around the world based on consumer insights. Our goal is to provide products that delight consumers and offer competitive advantage in the marketplace. We firmly believe that as we build a better company we can build a better world. Last year, the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship and the Reputation Institute recognized our efforts by ranking us number 2 in their survey of CSR reputations. During fiscal 2009, in addition to making progress with our employees and consumers, we recruited a Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility to help drive our efforts in the community. We introduced Nourishing Our Neighbors, an enhanced community service program that brings together all of Campbell’s community activities, including the Campbell Soup Foundation and others, under one umbrella. We announced a five-year, $10 million charitable commitment to our hometown of Camden, N.J., and we laid the groundwork for our fiscal 2010 relaunch of Labels for Education, which focuses this school-support program specifically on art, academics and athletics. In sustainability, we continued to advance our packaging innovations and eco-efficiency projects at our manufacturing plants and in our logistics operations. We plan to publish our next CSR report later this fiscal year. We are setting destination goals in our four focus areas to provide a clear sense of our CSR business priorities for employees, customers and consumers.

We operate under a compliance and ethics program called Winning With Integrity. At Campbell, the bedrock principle of winning with integrity drives all that we do and illuminates all that we aspire to achieve. We believe it is critical to optimizing shareowner value. 6 Campbell Soup Company Looking Ahead In September, we provided earnings guidance for fiscal 2010 consistent with our long-term financial targets, including adjusted net earnings per share growth of 5 to 7 percent. We enter fiscal 2010 with confidence and with a high energy level throughout the company. We have built an extraordinary culture here and made long-term investments that we believe together will propel Campbell to extraordinary performance in the years ahead. I would like to thank our employees, customers, consumers and you, our fellow shareowners, for joining us on this journey during fiscal 2009. We appreciate your support as we pursue our success model, inspired by our mission of together building the world’s most extraordinary food company by nourishing people’s lives everywhere, every day. Sincerely, Douglas R. Conant President and CEO Chairman’s Message This is my first report as Chairman of Campbell Soup Company after six years as a director. I am proud to be associated with this great company and its wonderful brands, and to lead a Board that has long been recognized for its commitment to excellence in corporate governance. Earlier this year, the Board reviewed a sound and insightful strategic plan to build the company’s core businesses, maintain our growth in emerging markets, and accelerate growth through thoughtful external development. Two outstanding new directors were recently elected to the Board. William Perez joined us in June, succeeding Kent Foster. Bill has had a distinguished career in the consumer packaged goods industry. After 34 years with S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc., including eight years as CEO, he also served as CEO of Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. Nick Shreiber, who succeeded Phil Lippincott in July, brings to us the perspective of over 30 years of global executive experience, most recently as CEO of Tetra Pak Group, a leader in packaging and equipment for food products. After 22 years of service, George Strawbridge will retire from the Board in November. We have benefited from his viewpoint as a long-term shareowner. The nominee to succeed him is Lawrence Karlson, whose wide-ranging business background will enrich our discussions. David Patterson will also retire as a director in November, after seven years in which his experience as an investment manager contributed important perspective to our work. Archbold van Beuren has been nominated to succeed David. Archie’s extensive background with the company and in the food industry will make him a valuable addition to the Board. On behalf of all directors, I wish to thank my predecessor, Harvey Golub, for his extraordinary leadership as our Chairman during the past five years. paul R.

The company believes that organic sales, which exclude the impact of currency, divestitures/acquisitions, and one less week, are a better indicator of the company’s ongoing busi- ness performance. The company also believes that financial information excluding certain transactions not considered to be part of the ongoing business improves the comparability of year-to-year earnings results. Consequently, the company believes that investors may be able to better understand its earnings results if these transactions are excluded from the results. These non-GAAP financial measures are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures.

For additional information relating to the company’s seven key strategies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” The company’s operations are organized and reported in the following segments: U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages; Baking and Snacking; International Soup, Sauces and Beverages; and North America Foodservice. The segments are discussed in greater detail below. U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages The U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment includes the following retail businesses: Campbell’s condensed and ready-to-serve soups; Swanson broth, stocks and canned poultry; Prego pasta sauce; Pace Mexican sauce; Campbell’s canned pasta, gravies, and beans; V8 juice and juice drinks; Campbell’s tomato juice; and Wolfgang Puck soups, stocks and broths. Baking and Snacking The Baking and Snacking segment includes the following businesses: Pepperidge Farm cookies, crackers, bakery and frozen products in U.S. retail; Arnott’s biscuits in Australia and Asia Pacific; and Arnott’s salty snacks in Australia. As previously discussed, in May 2008, the company completed the divestiture of certain salty snack food brands and assets in Australia, which were historically included in this segment. International Soup, Sauces and Beverages The International Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment includes the soup, sauce and beverage businesses outside of the United States, including Europe, Latin America, the Asia Pacific region, as well as the emerging markets of Russia and China, and the retail business in Canada. The segment’s operations include Erasco and Heisse Tasse soups in Germany, Liebig and Royco soups in France, Devos Lemmens mayonnaise and cold sauces and Campbell’s and Royco soups in Belgium, and Bla˚ Band soups and sauces in Sweden. In Asia Pacific, operations include Campbell’s soup and stock, Swanson broths, V8 beverages and Prego pasta sauce. In Canada, operations include Habitant and Campbell’s soups, Prego pasta sauce, V8 beverages and certain Pepperidge Farm products. The French sauce and mayonnaise business, which was marketed under the Lesieur brand and divested on September 29, 2008, was historically included in this segment. North America Foodservice The North America Foodservice segment includes the company’s Away From Home operations, which represent the distribution of products such as soup, specialty entrees, beverage products, other prepared foods and Pepperidge Farm products through various food service channels in the United States and Canada. Ingredients The ingredients required for the manufacture of the company’s food products are purchased from various suppliers. While all such ingredients are available from numerous independent suppliers, raw materials are subject to fluctuations in price attributable to a number of factors, including changes in crop size, cattle cycles, product scarcity, demand for raw materials and energy costs, government-sponsored agricultural programs, import and export requirements and weather conditions during the growing and harvesting seasons. To help reduce some of this price volatility, the company uses various commodity risk management tools for a number of its ingredients and commodities, such as natural gas, heating oil, wheat, soybean oil, cocoa, aluminum and corn. Ingredient inventories are at a peak during the late fall and decline during the winter and spring. Since many ingredients of suitable quality are available in sufficient quantities only at certain seasons, the company makes commitments for the purchase of such ingredients during their respective seasons. At this time, the company does not anticipate any material restrictions on availability or shortages of ingredients that would have a significant impact on the company’s businesses. For information on the impact of inflation on the company, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” Customers In most of the company’s markets, sales activities are conducted by the company’s own sales force and through broker and distributor arrangements. In the United States, Canada and Latin America, the company’s products are generally resold to consumers in retail food chains, mass discounters, mass merchandisers, club stores, convenience stores, drug stores, dollar stores and other retail, commercial and non-commercial establishments. In Europe, the company’s products are generally resold to consumers in retail food chains, mass discounters, mass merchandisers, club stores, convenience stores and other retail, commercial and non-commercial establishments. In the Asia Pacific region, the company’s products are generally resold to consumers through retail food chains, convenience stores and other retail, commercial and non-commercial establishments. The company makes shipments promptly after receipt and acceptance of orders. The company’s largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and its affiliates, accounted for approximately 18% of the company’s consolidated net sales during fiscal 2009 and 16% during fiscal 2008. All of the company’s segments sold products to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. or its affiliates. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the company’s consolidated net sales. Trademarks And Technology As of September 15, 2009, the company owned over 4,100 trademark registrations and applications in over 160 countries and believes that its trademarks are of material importance to its business. Although the laws vary by jurisdiction, trademarks generally are valid as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained and have not been found to have become generic. Trademark registrations generally can be renewed indefinitely as long as the trademarks are in use. The company believes that its principal brands, including Campbell’s, Erasco, Liebig, Pepperidge Farm, V8, Pace, Prego, Swanson, and Arnott’s, are protected by trademark law in the company’s relevant major markets. In addition, some of the company’s products are sold under brands that have been licensed from third parties. Although the company owns a number of valuable patents, it does not regard any segment of its business as being dependent upon any single patent or group of related patents. In addition, the company owns copyrights, both 2 registered and unregistered, and proprietary trade secrets, technology, know-how processes, and other intellectual property rights that are not registered. Competition The company experiences worldwide competition in all of its principal products. This competition arises from numerous competitors of varying sizes, including producers of generic and private label products, as well as from manufacturers of other branded food products, which compete for trade merchandising support and consumer dollars. As such, the number of competitors cannot be reliably estimated. The principal areas of competition are brand recognition, quality, price, advertising, promotion, convenience and service. Working Capital For information relating to the company’s cash and working capital items, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” Capital Expenditures During fiscal 2009, the company’s aggregate capital expenditures were $345 million. The company expects to spend approximately $350 million for capital projects in fiscal 2010. The anticipated major fiscal 2010 capital projects include the previously announced expansion and enhancement of the company’s corporate headquarters in Camden, New Jersey, implementation of a SAP enterprise-resource planning system in the company’s Australian and New Zealand locations and expansion of the company’s Australian and United States cracker production capacity. Research And Development During the last three fiscal years, the company’s expenditures on research activities relating to new products and the improvement and maintenance of existing products for continuing operations were $114 million in 2009, $115 million in 2008 and $111 million in 2007. The decrease from 2008 to 2009 was primarily due to the impact of currency. The increase from 2007 to 2008 was also primarily due to the impact of currency. The company conducts this research primarily at its headquarters in Camden, New Jersey, although important research is undertaken at various other locations inside and outside the United States. Environmental Matters The company has requirements for the operation and design of its facilities that meet or exceed applicable environmental rules and regulations. Of the company’s $345 million in capital expenditures made during fiscal 2009, approximately $5 million was for compliance with environmental laws and regulations in the United States. The company further estimates that approximately $6 million of the capital expenditures anticipated during fiscal 2010 will be for compliance with United States environmental laws and regulations. The company believes that continued compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the company. Seasonality Demand for the company’s products is somewhat seasonal, with the fall and winter months usually accounting for the highest sales volume due primarily to demand for the company’s soup products. Demand for the company’s sauce, beverage, baking and snacking products, however, is generally evenly distributed throughout the year. Regulation The manufacture and marketing of food products is highly regulated. In the United States, the company is subject to regulation by various government agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture and the Federal Trade Commission, as well as various state and local agencies. The company is also regulated by similar agencies outside the United States and by voluntary organizations such as the National 3 Advertising Division and the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. Employees On August 2, 2009, there were approximately 18,700 employees of the company.

Risk Factors In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Report, the following risks and uncertainties could materially adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the company or that the company currently deems immaterial also may impair the company’s business operations and financial condition. The company operates in a highly competitive industry The company operates in the highly competitive food industry and experiences worldwide competition in all of its principal products. The principal areas of competition are brand recognition, quality, price, advertising, promotion, convenience and service. A number of the company’s primary competitors have substantial financial, marketing and other resources. A strong competitive response from one or more of these competitors to the company’s marketplace efforts, or a consumer shift towards private label offerings, could result in the company reducing pricing, increasing marketing or other expenditures, or losing market share. The company faces risks related to recession, financial and credit market disruptions and other eco- nomic conditions Customer and consumer demand for the company’s products may be impacted by recession or other economic downturns in the United States or other nations. Similarly, disruptions in financial and credit markets may impact the company’s ability to manage normal commercial relationships with its customers, suppliers and creditors. In addition, changes in any one of the following factors in the United States or other nations, whether due to recession, financial and credit market disruptions or other reasons, could impact the company: currency exchange rates, tax rates, interest rates or equity markets. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect the company’s results The company holds assets and incurs liabilities, earns revenue, and pays expenses in a variety of currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and the euro. The company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, and therefore the company must translate its assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses into U.S. dollars for external reporting purposes. As a result, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar may materially and negatively affect the value of these items in the company’s consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. 4 The company’s results may be adversely impacted by increases in the price of raw and packaging materials The raw and packaging materials used in the company’s business include tomato paste, grains, beef, poultry, vegetables, steel, glass, paper and resin. Many of these materials are subject to price fluctuations from a number of factors, including product scarcity, demand for raw materials, commodity market speculation, energy costs, currency fluctuations, weather conditions, import and export requirements and changes in government-sponsored agricultural programs. To the extent any of these factors result in an increase in raw and packaging material prices, the company may not be able to offset such increases through productivity or price increases or through its commodity hedging activity. The company’s results are dependent on successful marketplace initiatives and acceptance by consumers of the company’s products The company’s results are dependent on successful marketplace initiatives and acceptance by consumers of the company’s products. The company’s product introductions and product improvements, along with its other marketplace initiatives, are designed to capitalize on new customer or consumer trends. In order to remain successful, the company must anticipate and react to these new trends and develop new products or processes to address them. While the company devotes significant resources to meeting this goal, the company may not be successful in developing new products or processes, or its new products or processes may not be accepted by customers or consumers. The company may be adversely impacted by increased liabilities and costs related to its defined benefit pension plans The company sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans for employees in the United States and various foreign locations. The major defined benefit pension plans are funded with trust assets invested in a globally diversified portfolio of securities and other investments. Changes in regulatory requirements or the market value of plan assets, investment returns, interest rates and mortality rates may affect the funded status of the company’s defined benefit pension plans and cause volatility in the net periodic benefit cost, future funding requirements of the plans and the funded status as recorded on the balance sheet. A significant increase in the company’s obligations or future funding requirements could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the company. The company may be adversely impacted by the increased significance of some of its customers The retail grocery trade continues to consolidate. These consolidations have produced large, sophisticated customers with increased buying power and negotiating strength who may seek lower prices or increased promotional programs funded by their suppliers. These customers may also in the future use more of their shelf space, currently used for our products, for their private label products. If the company is unable to use its scale, marketing expertise, product innovation and category leadership positions to respond to these customer initiatives, the company’s business or financial results could be negatively impacted. In addition, the disruption of sales to any of the company’s large customers for an extended period of time could adversely affect the company’s business or financial results. The company may be adversely impacted by inadequacies in, or failure of, its information technology systems Each year the company engages in several billion dollars of transactions with its customers and vendors. Because the amount of dollars involved is so significant, the company’s information technology resources must provide connections among its marketing, sales, manufacturing, logistics, customer service, and accounting functions. If the company does not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build and sustain an appropriate technology infrastructure and to maintain the related computerized and manual control processes, the company’s business or financial results could be negatively impacted. 5 The company may not properly execute, or realize anticipated cost savings or benefits from, its ongoing supply chain, information technology or other initiatives The company’s success is partly dependent upon properly executing, and realizing cost savings or other benefits from, its ongoing supply chain, information technology and other initiatives. These initiatives are primarily designed to make the company more efficient in the manufacture and distribution of its products, which is necessary in the company’s highly competitive industry. These initiatives are often complex, and a failure to implement them properly may, in addition to not meeting projected cost savings or benefits, result in an interruption to the company’s sales, manufacturing, logistics, customer service or accounting functions. Disruption to the company’s supply chain could adversely affect its business Damage or disruption to the company’s suppliers or to the company’s manufacturing or distribution capa- bilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire, terrorism, pandemic, strikes, or other reasons could impair the company’s ability to manufacture and/or sell its products. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, particularly when a product is sourced from a single location, could adversely affect the company’s business or financial results. The company may be adversely impacted by the failure to successfully execute acquisitions and divestitures From time to time, the company undertakes acquisitions or divestitures. The success of any such acquisition or divestiture depends, in part, upon the company’s ability to identify suitable buyers or sellers, negotiate favorable contractual terms and, in many cases, obtain governmental approval. For acquisitions, success is also dependent upon efficiently integrating the acquired business into the company’s existing operations. In cases where acqui- sitions or divestitures are not successfully implemented or completed, the company’s business or financial results could be negatively impacted. The company’s results may be impacted negatively by political conditions in the nations where the com- pany does business The company is a global manufacturer and marketer of high-quality, branded convenience food products. Because of its global reach, the company’s performance may be impacted negatively by politically motivated factors, such as unfavorable changes in legal or regulatory requirements, tariffs, or export and import restrictions, in the nations where it does business. The company may also be impacted by political instability, civil disobedience, armed hostilities, natural disasters and terrorist acts in the nations where it does business. If the company’s food products become adulterated or are mislabeled, the company might need to recall those items and may experience product liability claims if consumers are injured The company may need to recall some of its products if they become adulterated or if they are mislabeled. The company may also be liable if the consumption of any of its products causes injury. A widespread product recall could result in significant losses due to the costs of a recall, the destruction of product inventory and lost sales due to the unavailability of product for a period of time. The company could also suffer losses from a significant product liability judgment against it. A significant product recall or product liability case could also result in adverse publicity, damage to the company’s reputation and a loss of consumer confidence in the company’s food products.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Overview Description of the Company Campbell Soup Company is a global manufacturer and marketer of high-quality, branded convenience food products. The company is organized and reports in the following segments: U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages; Baking and Snacking; International Soup, Sauces and Beverages; and North America Foodservice. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on segments. The company’s well-known brands are sold in approximately 120 countries. Its principal geographies are North America, Australia, France, Germany and Belgium. Key Strategies To achieve its goals of consistent and sustainable sales and earnings growth to deliver superior long-term total shareowner returns, the company is focused on executing seven strategies: 1. expand its icon brands within simple meals, baked snacks and healthy beverages; 2. drive higher levels of consumer satisfaction by offering superior value and focusing on wellness, quality and convenience; 3. make its products more broadly available in existing and new markets; 4. strengthen its business through outside partnerships and acquisitions; 5. increase margins by improving price realization and company-wide productivity; 6. improve overall organizational excellence, diversity, engagement, and innovation; and 7. advance a powerful commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Expand the company’s icon brands within simple meals, baked snacks and healthy beverages. The company’s overarching business strategy is to drive profitable growth by focusing on three large, global categories — simple meals, baked snacks, and healthy beverages — that are well aligned with consumer trends, and are growing in most of the markets in which the company does business. Principal brands in these core categories include Campbell’s, Swanson, Pace, Prego, Liebig, Erasco, Pepperidge Farm, Goldfish, Arnott’s, and V8. The company has strong market positions in the segments within these categories in the geographies in which it competes, and its businesses in these categories respond well to product innovation and consumer marketing. Drive higher levels of consumer satisfaction by offering superior value and focusing on wellness, quality and convenience. The company continues to pursue initiatives designed to meet the growing consumer interest in 12 health and nutrition. In fiscal 2010, the sodium level in the company’s iconic Campbell’s condensed tomato soup, and in Campbell’s V8 and Campbell’s Healthy Request product lines, will be reduced. Campbell’s Chunky soups will be restaged with “better for you” credentials, including a number of varieties with lean meat and/or a full serving of vegetables, and Swanson chicken broth will be reformulated to be 100% natural. Responding to consumer concerns regarding weight management, the company will launch five new or restaged varieties of “light” condensed soup in fiscal 2010. In the baked snacks category, Pepperidge Farm will introduce Goldfish Garden Cheddar crackers containing one-third of a serving of vegetables, Flavor Blasted Goldfish crackers with reduced sodium, and Goldfish Grahams with reduced saturated fat. Arnott’s has introduced new varieties of its Vita-weat crackers with whole-grain goodness. The company continues to emphasize the health credentials of many of its other products, such as Prego sauces and V8 beverages. In fiscal 2009, the company also highlighted the value proposition offered by many of its products, especially those in its soup portfolio. The company expects to continue to emphasize value in its marketing and merchandising efforts in fiscal 2010. Make the company’s products more broadly available in existing and new markets. The company is pursuing strategies designed to expand the availability of its products in existing markets and to capitalize on opportunities in emerging channels and markets around the globe. To further its efforts in emerging markets, on May 26, 2009, the company announced the entry into an agreement with Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. for the distribution of Campbell’s Domashnaya Klassika (Campbell’s Home Classics) concentrated broth and other soup products in Russia. This arrangement is expected to significantly expand distribution of the company’s products in Russia. Strengthen the company’s business through outside partnerships and acquisitions. The company continues to explore opportunities to enhance sales and earnings growth through value-creating external development. On May 4, 2009, the company completed the acquisition of Ecce Panis, Inc., a manufacturer of artisan breads, which has been integrated into the company’s Pepperidge Farm bakery operations. This acquisition gives the Pepperidge Farm business an entry into the fast-growing artisan bread market. Increase margins by improving price realization and company-wide productivity. The company remains focused on increasing margins though a combination of pricing and productivity improvements. As part of a series of initiatives to improve operational efficiency and long-term profitability announced in fiscal 2008, the company completed the closures of its facilities in Listowel, Canada, and Miranda, Australia in fiscal 2009. The company also completed the implementation of its SAP enterprise-resource planning system in most of its North American facilities and has begun to realize cost reductions. Finally, the company increased the prices of many of its products to offset the impact of significantly higher cost inflation, while continuing to generate significant cost-savings through ongoing supply chain initiatives and control over general and administrative costs. Improve overall organizational excellence, diversity, engagement and innovation. The company is com- mitted to building a diverse, inclusive and engaged workforce that is focused on excellence and innovation. In building employee engagement, the company emphasizes: (1) capabilities, including improving skills, innovation capabilities, and manager and team effectiveness; and (2) culture, including leadership behavior, workplace flexibility and employee wellness. Key focus areas include diversity and inclusion, flexible work schedules, and enhanced workplace safety. Advance a powerful commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The company has developed a comprehensive strategy to advance its commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainability, rooted in four key pillars relating to environmental sustainability, community outreach, workplace excellence, and consumer concerns about wellness and nutrition. Building on a strong heritage of corporate citizenship outlined in the company’s first CSR Report, “Nourishing People’s Lives,” the company is now defining enterprise-wide goals and targets that address environmental performance, workplace excellence, social impact in its communities, and the nutrition and wellness attributes of its product portfolio. The company has established an internal governance structure to manage and direct these commitments as core business disciplines and is working with its customers and suppliers to identify common CSR and environmental sustainability priorities. In fiscal 2009, the company also joined the United Nations Global Compact and issued formal policies in the areas of human rights and political accountability. 13 Basis of Presentation There were 52 weeks in fiscal 2009, 53 weeks in fiscal 2008 and 52 weeks in fiscal 2007.

In fiscal 2008, the company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $175 million ($102 million after tax or $.27 per share) and $7 million ($5 million after tax or $.01 per share) of accelerated depreciation in Cost of products sold. The aggregate impact was $182 million ($107 million after tax or $.28 per share) related to the initiatives.

Earnings from continuing operations were $732 million in 2009 ($2.04 per share) and $671 million ($1.76 per share) in 2008. After factoring in the items impacting comparability, Earnings from continuing operations increased primarily due to lower interest expense, lower marketing and selling expenses, partially offset by the negative 15 impact of currency translation. After factoring in the items impacting comparability, Earnings per share from continuing operations increased due in part to the benefit from a reduction in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The reduction was primarily due to share repurchases utilizing the net proceeds from the divestiture of the Godiva Chocolatier business and the company’s strategic share repurchase programs. Earnings per share from continuing operations were negatively impacted by $.09 from currency translation in 2009. Earnings from discontinued operations of $4 million in 2009 represented an adjustment to the tax liability associated with the sale of the Godiva Chocolatier business. Earnings from discontinued operations were $494 million in 2008 and included the $462 million gain from the sale of the Godiva Chocolatier business. Earnings per share from discontinued operations were $.01 in 2009 and $1.30 in 2008. The operations of Godiva contributed to earnings of $.08 per share in 2008. 2008 Net earnings were $1,165 million in 2008 ($3.06 per share) and $854 million ($2.16 per share) in 2007. In addition to the 2008 items that impacted the comparability of net earnings and net earnings per share, the following items also impacted comparability: Continuing Operations (cid:129) In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the company recorded a pre-tax non-cash benefit of $20 million ($13 million after tax or $.03 per share) from the reversal of legal reserves due to favorable results in litigation; (cid:129) In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the company recorded a tax benefit of $22 million resulting from the settlement of bilateral advance pricing agreements (“APA”) among the company, the United States, and Canada related to royalties. In addition, the company reduced net interest expense by $4 million ($3 million after tax). The aggregate impact was $25 million or $.06 per share; and (cid:129) In the second quarter of 2007, the company recorded a pre-tax gain of $23 million ($14 million after tax or $.04 per share) from the sale of an idle manufacturing facility. Discontinued Operations (cid:129) In 2007, the company recognized a pre-tax gain of $39 million ($24 million after tax or $.06 per share) from the sale of the businesses in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In addition, a tax benefit of $7 million ($.02 per share) was recognized from the favorable resolution of tax audits in the United Kingdom. 16 The items impacting comparability are summarized below: 2008 2007 Earnings Impact EPS Impact Earnings Impact EPS Impact (Millions, except per share amounts) Earnings from continuing operations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 671 $1.76 Earnings from discontinued operations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 494 $1.30 Net earnings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,165 $3.06 Continuing operations: Restructuring charges and related costs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Earnings from continuing operations were $671 million in 2008 ($1.76 per share) and $792 million ($2.00 per share) in 2007. After factoring in the items impacting comparability, Earnings from continuing operations increased primarily due to higher sales, the impact of currency and the benefit of the 53rd week, partially offset by a reduction of gross margin as a percentage of sales and a higher effective tax rate. The additional week contributed approximately $.02 per share to Earnings from continuing operations in 2008. Earnings per share from continuing operations in 2008 also benefited from a reduction in weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Earnings from discontinued operations were $494 million in 2008 ($1.30 per share) and $62 million ($.16 per share) in 2007. After factoring items impacting comparability, earnings at Godiva increased slightly. Sales An analysis of net sales by reportable segment follows: U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages . . . . . . . . . .

In 2009, U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages sales increased 3%. U.S. soup sales increased 5% as ready-to-serve soup sales increased 4%, condensed soup sales increased 5% and broth sales increased 9%. The ready-to-serve soup sales increase was primarily due to the successful launches of Campbell’s Select Harvest soups and Campbell’s V8 soups, partially offset by declines in Campbell’s Chunky soups. Within ready-to-serve, sales declined in the convenience platform, which includes soups in microwavable bowls and cups. In condensed, sales increased with growth in cooking and in eating varieties. The increase in broth sales was due to growth in aseptic varieties and the introduction of Swanson stock products. The Wolfgang Puck soup, stock and broth business acquired in June 2008 contributed modestly to U.S. soup sales growth. Beverage sales decreased due to declines in V8 vegetable juice, partially offset by gains in V8 V-Fusion vegetable and fruit juice. Prego pasta sauce sales increased double digits and sales of Pace Mexican sauces increased as consumers increased at-home eating. In 2008, U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages sales increased 5%. U.S. soup sales increased 2% as condensed soup sales increased 1%, ready-to-serve soup sales increased 1%, and broth sales increased 12%. The benefit of the 53rd week contributed 1% to the U.S. soup sales increase, the condensed soup sales increase and the broth sales increase. Within condensed soup, gains in cooking varieties were offset by declines in eating varieties. In ready-to- serve, sales gains in Campbell’s Chunky and Campbell’s Select canned soups were partially offset by a decline in the convenience platform, which includes soups in microwavable bowls and cups. Condensed and ready-to-serve soups benefited from the lower sodium varieties. Swanson broth sales increased due to continued growth of aseptically- packaged varieties. Excluding the impact of the 53rd week, beverage sales increased double digits, primarily due to consumer demand for healthy beverages. V8 vegetable juice, V8 V-Fusion vegetable and fruit juice, and V8 Splash juice drinks contributed to the sales growth. Sales of Campbell’s tomato juice declined. Beverage sales benefited from expanded distribution of single-serve beverages due to the distribution agreement for refrigerated single-serve 18 beverages with The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. Sales of Prego pasta sauces and Pace Mexican sauces increased. In 2009, Baking and Snacking sales decreased 10%. Pepperidge Farm achieved sales growth with gains in the cookies and crackers business, reflecting significant growth in Pepperidge Farm Goldfish snack crackers. Arnott’s sales declined due to the divestiture of certain salty snack food brands in May 2008, the unfavorable impact of currency and the impact of one less week in 2009. Excluding these items, Arnott’s sales increased due to growth in savory and chocolate biscuit products and growth in Indonesia. In 2008, Baking and Snacking sales increased 11%. Excluding the impact of the 53rd week, Pepperidge Farm sales increased with growth in all businesses: cookies and crackers, bakery, and frozen. The sales increase in the cookies and crackers business was primarily due to the growth of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish snack crackers, the launch of Baked Naturals, a line of adult savory snack crackers, and growth in Distinctive cookie varieties. Bakery sales increased driven by gains in whole-grain varieties and sandwich rolls. Arnott’s sales increased due to the favorable impact of currency, growth in biscuits, and the benefit of the 53rd week, partially offset by the divestitures of certain salty snack food brands and the business in Papua New Guinea. In 2009, International Soup, Sauces and Beverages sales declined 16%. In Europe, sales declined due to the divestiture of the sauce and mayonnaise business comprised of products sold under the Lesieur brand in France, the impact of currency, one less week in 2009, and lower sales in Germany. In the Asia Pacific region, sales declined due to the impact of currency and one less week in 2009, partially offset by gains in Malaysia and in the Australian soup business. In Canada, sales decreased due to currency and one less week in 2009, partially offset by gains in the soup business. In 2008, International Soup, Sauces and Beverages sales increased 15%. In Europe, sales increased due to the favorable impact of currency, the benefit of the 53rd week, and volume gains in Belgium, partially offset by a decline in Germany. In the Asia Pacific region, sales increased due to the favorable impact of currency, growth in the Australian soup business and the benefit of the 53rd week. In Canada, sales increased primarily due to the favorable impact of currency, the benefit of the 53rd week, and growth in soup and beverages. In 2009, sales in North America Foodservice declined 9%, primarily due to weakness in the food service sector and the unfavorable impact of currency. In 2008, sales in North America Foodservice increased 3% primarily due to the benefit of the 53rd week and the impact of currency. Excluding the impact of currency and the benefit of the 53rd week, sales declined due primarily to weakness in the food service sector. Gross Profit Gross profit, defined as Net sales less Cost of products sold, decreased by $143 million in 2009 from 2008 and increased by $170 million in 2008 from 2007. As a percent of sales, gross profit was 39.9% in 2009, 39.6% in 2008 and 40.6% in 2007. The percentage increase in 2009 was due to higher selling prices (approximately 4.4 percentage points), productivity improvements (approximately 1.8 percentage points) and mix (0.4 percentage point), partially offset by a higher level of promotional spending (approximately 1.1 percentage points) and the impact of cost inflation and other factors (approximately 5.2 percentage points). The percentage point decrease in 2008 was due to the impact of cost inflation and other factors (approximately 3.8 percentage points), a higher level of promotional spending (approximately 0.5 percentage point), partially offset by higher selling prices (approximately 1.5 per- centage points), productivity improvements (approximately 1.7 percentage points) and mix (approximately 0.1 percentage point). Marketing and Selling Expenses Marketing and selling expenses as a percent of sales were 14.2% in 2009, 14.5% in 2008 and 15.0% in 2007. Marketing and selling expenses decreased 7% in 2009 from 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of currency (approximately 3 percentage points), lower marketing expenses (approximately 2 percentage points), and lower selling expenses (approximately 2 percentage points). In 2009, while advertising expenses increased in U.S. soup to support the launch of new products, marketing expenses were reduced in other businesses to fund 19 increased promotional activity. Marketing and selling expenses increased 5% in 2008 from 2007. The increase was primarily due to the impact of currency (approximately 3 percentage points) and higher advertising (approximately 1 percentage point). Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 7.8% in 2009, 7.6% in 2008 and 7.7% in 2007. Administrative expenses declined 3% in 2009 from 2008 due primarily to the impact of currency. Administrative expenses increased 6% in 2008 from 2007. Administrative expenses in 2007 included the reversal of $20 million of legal reserves from favorable results in litigation, which accounted for approximately 4 percentage points of the increase from 2007 to 2008. The remaining increase in 2008 was primarily due to the impact of currency (approximately 3 percentage points). Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses decreased $1 million or 1% in 2009 from 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of currency (approximately 3 percentage points), partially offset by an increase in wages and other costs (approximately 2 percentage points). Research and development expenses increased $4 million or 4% in 2008 from 2007. The increase was primarily due to the impact of currency (approximately 3 percentage points). Other Expenses/(Income) Other expense in 2009 included a $67 million impairment charge associated with certain European trademarks primarily used in Germany and the Nordic region. The charge was recorded as a result of the company’s annual review of intangible assets and was reflected in the International Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment. See also Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other expense in 2008 included $6 million of impairment charges associated with certain trademarks used in the International Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment and the pending sale of the sauce and mayonnaise business comprised of products sold under the Lesieur brand in France. See also Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other income of $30 million in 2007 included a $23 million gain on the sale of an idle manufacturing facility, a $10 million gain on a settlement in lieu of condemnation of a refrigerated soup facility, and a $3 million gain on the sale of the company’s business in Papua New Guinea. Operating Earnings Segment operating earnings increased 5% in 2009 from 2008. The 2009 results included $22 million of restructuring related costs and a $67 million impairment charge. The 2008 results included $182 million of restructuring charges and related costs.

See Note 7 for additional information. The International Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment included a $67 million impairment charge on certain European trademarks. See Note 5 for additional information. (2) Operating earnings by segment include the effect of a 2008 restructuring charge and related costs of $182 million as follows: Baking and Snacking — $144 million; International Soup, Sauces and Bevera- ges — $9 million; and North America Foodservice — $29 million. See Note 7 for additional information. Earnings from U.S. Soup, Sauces, and Beverages increased 4% in 2009 from 2008, primarily due to pricing, net of increased promotional spending, and productivity improvements, which more than offset cost inflation and lower sales volume. Earnings from U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages increased 3% in 2008 from 2007 primarily due to higher sales volume, productivity improvements, and higher price realization, partially offset by cost inflation. Earnings from Baking and Snacking increased from $120 million in 2008 to $262 million in 2009. Earnings in 2009 included $3 million in accelerated depreciation and other exit costs and earnings in 2008 included $144 million of restructuring charges related to the initiatives to improve operational efficiency and long-term profitability. Excluding these items, operating earnings growth in Pepperidge Farm and Arnott’s was mostly offset by the negative impact of currency and one less week. Earnings from Baking and Snacking decreased from $238 million in 2007 to $120 million in 2008. Earnings in 2008 included $144 million in restructuring charges. Earnings in 2007 included a $23 million gain from the sale of an idle Pepperidge Farm manufacturing facility. Excluding these items, the increase in earnings was due to growth in the Australian biscuit business, the favorable impact of currency and gains in Pepperidge Farm. Earnings from International Soup, Sauces and Beverages decreased from $179 million in 2008 to $69 million in 2009. Earnings in 2009 included a $67 million impairment charge on certain European trademarks, primarily in Germany and the Nordic region. Earnings in 2008 included $9 million of restructuring charges related to the initiatives to improve operational efficiency and long-term profitability. Excluding these items, operating earnings declined, primarily due to the impact of currency and costs associated with establishing businesses in Russia and China. Earnings from International Soup, Sauces, and Beverages increased 7% in 2008 from 2007. The 2008 earnings included $9 million of restructuring charges. Excluding this item, operating earnings increased due to the favorable impact of currency and growth in Canada and Australia soup, partially offset by costs to launch products in Russia and China and impairment charges on certain trademarks. Earnings from North America Foodservice decreased 15% in 2009 from 2008. Earnings in 2009 included $19 million in restructuring related costs and earnings in 2008 included $29 million of restructuring charges and costs associated with the initiatives to improve operational efficiency and long-term profitability. Excluding these items, earnings decreased reflecting the reduction in sales. 21 Earnings from North America Foodservice decreased 49%, or $38 million, in 2008 from 2007. Earnings in 2008 included $29 million of restructuring charges and related costs. Earnings in 2007 included a $10 million gain related to a settlement in lieu of condemnation of a refrigerated soup facility, which was partially offset by relocation and start-up costs associated with the replacement facility. Earnings in 2008 were also adversely impacted by cost inflation, partially offset by higher selling prices and productivity gains. Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $25 million from $132 million in 2008 to $107 million in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower expenses associated with the company’s North American SAP implementation. Unallocated corporate expenses increased $30 million from $102 million in 2007 to $132 million in 2008. The increase was primarily due to the reversal of $20 million of legal reserves in 2007 due to favorable results in litigation, a gain on the sale of the Papua New Guinea business in 2007 and an impairment charge in 2008 associated with the pending sale of the sauce and mayonnaise business sold under the Lesieur brand in France. Interest Expense/Income Interest expense decreased to $110 million in 2009 from $167 million in 2008 primarily due to lower interest rates. Interest income declined to $4 million in 2009 from $8 million in 2008 primarily due to lower levels of cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense increased 2% in 2008 from 2007. The prior year included a $4 million reduction in interest related to the APA settlement. The remaining increase was due to a reduction in interest in 2007 related to the favorable settlement of U.S. federal income tax audits and lower capitalized interest, partially offset by lower debt levels. Interest income declined to $8 million in 2008 from $19 million in 2007 primarily due to lower levels of cash and cash equivalents. Taxes on Earnings The effective tax rate was 32.2% in 2009, 28.5% in 2008 and 27.9% in 2007. The following factors impacted the comparability of the tax rate in 2009 versus 2008: (cid:129) In 2009, the company recognized an $11 million benefit following the finalization of tax audits. (cid:129) In 2008, the company recognized a tax benefit of $75 million on the $182 million pre-tax restructuring charge and related costs. (cid:129) In 2008, the company recognized a $13 million benefit from the resolution of a state tax contingency. The effective rate increased in 2009 from 2008 reflecting additional tax expense associated with the repatriation of foreign earnings. The 2008 effective rate reflects a benefit for tax rate changes in foreign jurisdictions. In 2007, the effective rate was impacted by a $22 million benefit from the favorable settlement of the APA among the company, the United States and Canada related to royalties. In 2007, the company also recognized an additional net benefit of $40 million, following the finalization of the 2002-2004 U.S. federal tax audits. After factoring in the items impacting comparability in 2008 and 2007, the effective rate declined in 2008 due in part to a benefit related to tax rate changes in foreign jurisdictions. Restructuring Charges On April 28, 2008, the company announced a series of initiatives to improve operational efficiency and long- term profitability, including selling certain salty snack food brands and assets in Australia, closing certain production facilities in Australia and Canada, and streamlining the company’s management structure. As a result of these initiatives, in 2008, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $175 million ($102 million after tax or $.27 per share). The charge consisted of a net loss of $120 million ($64 million after tax) on the sale of certain Australian salty snack food brands and assets, $45 million ($31 million after tax) of employee severance and benefit costs, including the estimated impact of curtailment and other pension charges, and $10 million ($7 million after tax) of property, plant and equipment impairment charges. In addition, approximately $7 million ($5 million after 22 tax or $.01 per share) of costs related to these initiatives were recorded in Cost of products sold, primarily representing accelerated depreciation on property, plant and equipment. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and related costs in 2008 was $107 million, or $.28 per share. In 2009, the company recorded approximately $22 million ($15 million after tax or $.04 per share) of costs related to these initiatives in Cost of products sold. Approximately $17 million of the costs represented accelerated depreciation on property, plant and equipment, approximately $4 million related to other exit costs and approximately $1 million related to employee severance and benefit costs, including other pension charges. The company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs of approximately $12 million in benefit costs related to pension charges. Of the aggregate $216 million of pre-tax costs for the total program, the company expects approximately $40 million will be cash expenditures, the majority of which was spent in 2009. Annual pre-tax benefits are expected to be approximately $15-$20 million beginning in 2009. In the third quarter of 2008, as part of the previously discussed initiatives, the company entered into an agreement to sell certain Australian salty snack food brands and assets. The transaction was completed on May 12, 2008. Proceeds of the sale were nominal. In connection with this transaction, the company recognized a net loss of $120 million ($64 million after tax) in 2008. The terms of the agreement required the company to provide a loan facility to the buyer of AUD $10 million, or approximately USD $7 million. The facility was drawn down in AUD $5 million increments in 2009. Borrowings under the facility are to be repaid five years after the closing date. See also Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In April 2008, as part of the previously discussed initiatives, the company announced plans to close the Listowel, Ontario, Canada food plant. The Listowel facility produced primarily frozen products, including soup, entrees, and Pepperidge Farm products, as well as ramen noodles. The facility employed approximately 500 people. The company closed the facility in April 2009. Production was transitioned to its network of North American contract manufacturers and to its Downingtown, Pennsylvania plant. The company recorded $20 million ($14 mil- lion after tax) of employee severance and benefit costs, including the estimated impact of curtailment and other pension charges, and $7 million ($5 million after tax) in accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment in 2008. In 2009, the company recorded $1 million of employee severance and benefit costs, including other pension charges, $16 million ($11 million after tax) in accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment and $2 million ($1 million after tax) of other exit costs. The company expects to incur approximately $12 million in benefit costs related to pension charges. In April 2008, as part of the previously discussed initiatives, the company also announced plans to discontinue the private label biscuit and industrial chocolate production at its Miranda, Australia facility. The company closed the Miranda facility, which employed approximately 150 people, in the second quarter of 2009. In connection with this action, the company recorded $10 million ($7 million after tax) of property, plant and equipment impairment charges and $8 million ($6 million after tax) in employee severance and benefit costs in 2008. In 2009, the company recorded $1 million in accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment and $2 million ($1 million after tax) of other exit costs. As part of the previously discussed initiatives, the company streamlined its management structure and eliminated certain overhead costs. These actions began in the fourth quarter of 2008 and were substantially completed in 2009. In connection with this action, the company recorded $17 million ($11 million after tax) in employee severance and benefit costs in 2008. In aggregate, the company incurred pre-tax costs of approximately $204 million in 2008 and in 2009 by segment as follows: Baking and Snacking — $147 million, International Soup, Sauces and Beverages — $9 million and North America Foodservice — $48 million. Additional pre-tax costs of $12 million are expected to be incurred in the North America Foodservice segment for benefit costs related to estimated pension charges. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Discontinued Operations On March 18, 2008, the company completed the sale of its Godiva Chocolatier business for $850 million, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 20, 2007. The purchase price was subject to working 23 capital and other post-closing adjustments, which resulted in an additional $20 million of proceeds. The company has reflected the results of this business as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings. The company used $600 million of the net proceeds from the sale to purchase company stock. In fiscal 2008, the company recognized a pre-tax gain of $698 million ($462 million after tax or $1.21 per share) on the sale. In fiscal 2009, the company recognized a $4 million tax benefit as a result of an adjustment to the tax liability associated with the sale. On August 15, 2006, the company completed the sale of its businesses in the United Kingdom and Ireland for £460, or approximately $870 million. The purchase price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which resulted in an additional $19 million of proceeds. The results of the company’s businesses in the United Kingdom and Ireland are included in discontinued operations. The 2007 results included a $24 million after-tax gain, or $.06 per share, on the sale of the businesses in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The 2007 results also included a $7 million tax benefit from the favorable resolution of tax audits in the United Kingdom. The company used $620 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the United Kingdom and Ireland businesses to purchase company stock. The remaining net proceeds were used to settle foreign currency hedging contracts associated with intercompany financing transactions of the business, to pay taxes and expenses associated with the sale, and to repay debt. Results of the businesses are summarized below: 2009 Godiva 2008 Godiva Net sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ — $ 393 Earnings from operations before taxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Over the last three years, operating cash flows totaled approximately $2.6 billion. This cash generating capability provides the company with substantial financial flexibility in meeting its operating and investing needs. The company expects that its sources of financing are adequate to meet its future liquidity and capital resource requirements. The cost and terms of any future financing arrangements may be negatively impacted by capital and credit market disruptions and will depend on the market conditions and the company’s financial position at the time. Net cash flows from operating activities provided $1,166 million in 2009, compared to $766 million in 2008 due to higher cash earnings and lower tax payments. In 2008, net cash flows from operations included tax payments associated with the divestiture of Godiva. Net cash flows from operating activities provided $766 million in 2008, compared to $674 million in 2007. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in payments to settle foreign currency hedging transactions and lower investments in working capital, partially offset by tax payments associated with the divestiture of Godiva. Capital expenditures were $345 million in 2009, $298 million in 2008 and $334 million in 2007. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $350 million in 2010. Capital expenditures in 2009 included expansion of the U.S. beverage production capacity (approximately $54 million) and expansion and enhancements of the company’s corporate headquarters (approximately $20 million). Capital expenditures in 2008 included investments to expand the Pepperidge Farm bakery production capacity, implement the SAP enterprise-resource 24 planning system in North America, expand the U.S. beverage production capacity, and expand the warehouse at the Maxton, North Carolina facility. Capital expenditures in 2007 included investments to increase the manufacturing capacity for refrigerated soups in a new facility, implement the SAP enterprise-resource planning system in North America, and implement certain productivity and quality projects in manufacturing facilities. Business acquired, as presented in the Statements of Cash Flows, represents the acquisition of the Ecce Panis, Inc. business in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the Wolfgang Puck soup business in the fourth quarter of 2008. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2009 includes $38 million of proceeds from the sale of the sauce and mayonnaise business in France, net of cash divested. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2008 includes $828 million of proceeds from the sale of the Godiva Chocolatier business and certain Australian salty snack food brands and assets, net of cash divested. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2007 includes $906 million of proceeds from the sale of the businesses in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Papua New Guinea, net of cash divested. Long-term borrowings in 2009 included the issuance in January of $300 million of 4.5% notes that mature in February 2019 and the issuance in July of $300 million of 3.375% notes that mature in August 2014. The net proceeds from these issuances were used for the repayment of commercial paper borrowings and for other general corporate purposes. There were no new long-term borrowings in 2008 and 2007. Dividend payments were $350 million in 2009, $329 million in 2008 and $308 million in 2007. Annual dividends declared in 2009 were $1.00 per share, $.88 per share in 2008 and $.80 per share in 2007. The 2009 fourth quarter rate was $.25 per share. Excluding shares owned and tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding requirements on the vesting of restricted shares, the company repurchased 17 million shares at a cost of $527 million during 2009. The majority of these shares were repurchased pursuant to the company’s June 2008 publicly announced share repurchase program. Under this program, the company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $1.2 billion of company stock through the end of fiscal 2011. In addition to the June 2008 publicly announced share repurchase program, the company also purchased shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. The company expects to continue this practice in the future. Excluding shares owned and tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding requirements on the vesting of restricted shares, the company repurchased 26 million shares at a cost of $903 million during 2008. During fiscal 2008, the company purchased shares pursuant to two publicly announced share repurchase programs. Under the first program, which was announced on November 21, 2005, the company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $600 million of company stock through the end of fiscal 2008. The November 2005 program was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Under the second program, which was announced on March 18, 2008, the company’s Board of Directors authorized using approximately $600 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the Godiva Chocolatier business to purchase company stock. The March 2008 program was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. In addition to the publicly announced share repurchase programs, the company also purchased shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. Of the 2008 repurchases, approximately 23 million shares at a cost of $800 million were made pursuant to publicly announced share repurchase programs. The remaining shares were repurchased to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. Excluding shares owned and tendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding requirements on vesting of restricted shares, the company repurchased 30 million shares at a cost of $1,140 million during 2007. Of the 2007 repurchases, approximately 21 million shares at a cost of $820 million were made pursuant to the company’s then two publicly announced share repurchase programs. The remaining shares were repurchased to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. The first share repurchase program was the previously discussed Board of Directors authorization announced on November 21, 2005. Under the second share repurchase program, which was announced on August 15, 2006, the company’s Board of Directors authorized using up to $620 million of the net proceeds from the sale of United Kingdom and Ireland businesses to purchase company stock. The August 2006 program terminated at the end of fiscal 2007. See “Market for Registrant’s Capital Stock, Related Shareowner Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” for more information. 25 At August 2, 2009, the company had $378 million of notes payable due within one year and $27 million of standby letters of credit issued on behalf of the company. The company has a $1.5 billion committed revolving credit facility maturing in 2011, which was unused at August 2, 2009, except for $27 million of standby letters of credit. This agreement supports the company’s commercial paper programs. In November 2008, the company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registered an indeterminate amount of debt securities. Under the registration statement, the company may issue debt securities, depending on market conditions. The company is in compliance with the covenants contained in its revolving credit facilities and debt securities. Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments Contractual Obligations The following table summarizes the company’s obligations and commitments to make future payments under certain contractual obligations. For additional information on debt, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating leases are primarily entered into for warehouse and office facilities and certain equipment. Purchase commitments represent purchase orders and long-term purchase arrangements related to the procurement of ingredients, supplies, machinery, equipment and services. These commitments are not expected to have a material impact on liquidity. Other long-term liabilities primarily represent payments related to deferred com- pensation obligations. For additional information on other long-term liabilities, see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Debt obligations(1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

For additional information on debt obligations, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. (2) Interest payments for notes payable, long-term debt and derivative instruments are calculated as follows. For notes payable, interest is based on par values and rates of contractually obligated issuances at fiscal year end. For fixed-rate long-term debt, interest is based on principal amounts and fixed coupon rates at fiscal year end. Interest on fixed-rate derivative instruments is based on notional amounts and fixed interest rates contractually obligated at fiscal year end. Interest on variable-rate derivative instruments is based on notional amounts contractually obligated at fiscal year end and rates estimated over the instrument’s life using forward interest rates plus applicable spreads. (3) Represents payments of cross-currency swaps and forward exchange contracts. (4) Represents other long-term liabilities, excluding deferred taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, minority interest, postretirement benefits, payments related to pension plans and unvested stock-based compensation. For additional information on pension and postretirement benefits, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 26 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commitments The company guarantees approximately 1,900 bank loans to Pepperidge Farm independent sales distributors by third party financial institutions used to purchase distribution routes. The maximum potential amount of the future payments the company could be required to make under the guarantees is $159 million. The company’s guarantees are indirectly secured by the distribution routes. The company does not believe that it is probable that it will be required to make guarantee payments as a result of defaults on the bank loans guaranteed. In connection with the sale of certain Australian salty snack food brands and assets, the company agreed to provide a loan facility to the buyer of AUD $10 million, or approximately USD $7 million. The facility was drawn down in AUD $5 million increments in 2009. Borrowings under the facility are to be repaid five years after the closing date. See also Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on off-balance sheet arrangements. Inflation In fiscal 2008 and 2009, inflation, on average, has been significantly higher than recent years. The company uses a number of strategies to mitigate the effects of cost inflation. These strategies include increasing prices, pursuing cost productivity initiatives such as global procurement strategies, commodity hedging and making capital investments that improve the efficiency of operations. Market Risk Sensitivity The principal market risks to which the company is exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. In addition, the company is exposed to equity price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. The company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps in order to maintain its variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines. International operations, which accounted for approximately 27% of 2009 net sales, are concentrated principally in Australia, Canada, France and Germany. The company manages its foreign currency exposures by borrowing in various foreign currencies and utilizing cross-currency swaps and forward contracts. Swaps and forward contracts are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The company does not enter into contracts for speculative purposes and does not use leveraged instruments. The company principally uses a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. The company also enters into commodity futures and option contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of natural gas, diesel fuel, wheat, soybean oil, cocoa, aluminum and corn which impact the cost of raw materials. The information below summarizes the company’s market risks associated with debt obligations and other significant financial instruments as of August 2, 2009. Fair values included herein have been determined based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. The information presented below should be read in conjunction with Notes 11 through 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 27 The table below presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by fiscal year of maturity for debt obligations. Interest rates disclosed on variable-rate debt maturing in 2010 represent the weighted-average rates at the period end. Notional amounts and related interest rates of interest rate swaps are presented by fiscal year of maturity. For the swaps, variable rates are the weighted-average forward rates for the term of each contract.

As of August 3, 2008, fixed-rate debt of approximately $1.9 billion with an average interest rate of 6.08% and variable-rate debt of approximately $679 million with an average interest rate of 2.38% were outstanding. As of August 3, 2008, the company had swapped $675 million of fixed-rate debt to variable. The average rate to be received on these swaps was 5.19% and the average rate paid was estimated to be 4.42% over the remaining life of the swaps. As of August 3, 2008, the company had two forward starting interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $200 million to hedge an anticipated debt offering in fiscal 2009. The average rate estimated to be received on these swaps was 5.05% and the average rate to be paid was 4.90%. The company is exposed to foreign exchange risk related to its international operations, including non- functional currency intercompany debt and net investments in subsidiaries. The following table summarizes the cross-currency swaps outstanding as of August 2, 2009, which hedge such exposures. The notional amount of each currency and the related weighted-average forward interest rate are presented in the Cross-Currency Swaps table. 28 Cross-Currency Swaps Expiration Interest Rate Notional Value Fair Value (Millions) Pay fixed SEK . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The aggregate notional value of these swap contracts was $699 million as of August 3, 2008, and the aggregate fair value of these swap contracts was a loss of $117 million as of August 3, 2008. The company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries, including subsidiary debt. The company utilizes foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts to hedge these exposures.

The aggregate fair value of all contracts was a loss of $10 million as of August 2, 2009. The total forward exchange contracts outstanding as of August 3, 2008 were $190 million with a fair value gain of $1 million. The company enters into commodity futures and options contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations for commodities. The notional value of these contracts was $51 million and the aggregate fair value of these contracts was not material as of August 2, 2009. The total notional value of these contracts was $146 million and the aggregate fair value was a loss of $3 million as of August 3, 2008. The company had swap contracts outstanding as of August 2, 2009, which hedge a portion of exposures relating to certain deferred compensation obligations linked to the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, the total return of the company’s capital stock and the total return of the Puritan Fund. Under these contracts, the company pays variable interest rates and receives from the counterparty either the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index total return, the Puritan Fund total return, or the total return on company capital stock. The notional value of the contract that is linked to the return on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was $8 million at August 2, 2009 and $16 million at August 3, 2008. The average forward interest rate applicable to the contract, which expires in 2010, was 0.78% at August 2, 2009. The notional value of the contract that is linked to the return on the Puritan Fund was $6 million at August 2, 2009 and $9 million at August 3, 2008. The average forward interest rate applicable to the contract, which expires in 2010, was 1.48% at August 2, 2009. The notional value of the contract that is linked to the total return on company capital stock was $34 million at August 2, 2009 and $31 million at August 3, 2008. The average forward interest rate applicable to this contract, which expires in 2010, was 0.98% at August 2, 2009. The fair value of these contracts was a $4 million gain at August 2, 2009 and $1 million gain at August 3, 2008. The company’s utilization of financial instruments in managing market risk exposures described above is consistent with the prior year. Changes in the portfolio of financial instruments are a function of the results of operations, debt repayment and debt issuances, market effects on debt and foreign currency, and the company’s acquisition and divestiture activities. Significant Accounting Estimates The consolidated financial statements of the company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of significant accounting policies. The following areas all require the use of subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions: Trade and consumer promotion programs — The company offers various sales incentive programs to customers and consumers, such as cooperative advertising programs, feature price discounts, in-store display incentives and coupons. The recognition of the costs for these programs, which are classified as a reduction of revenue, involves the use of judgment related to performance and redemption estimates. Estimates are made based on historical experience and other factors. Actual expenses may differ if the level of redemption rates and performance vary from estimates. Valuation of long-lived assets — Fixed assets and amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Undiscounted cash flow analyses are used to determine if an impairment exists. If an impairment is determined to exist, the loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested at least annually for impairment, or as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill impairment testing first requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow analyses. The discounted estimates of future cash flows include significant management assumptions such as revenue growth rates, operating margins, weighted 30 average cost of capital, and future economic and market conditions. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds fair value, goodwill is considered impaired. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying value of the goodwill and the “implied” fair value, which is calculated as if the reporting unit had just been acquired and accounted for as a business combination. As of August 2, 2009, the carrying value of goodwill was $1.901 billion. The company has not recognized any impairment of goodwill as a result of annual testing, which began in 2003. As of the 2009 measurement, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by at least 30%. Holding all other assumptions used in the 2009 measurement constant, a 100-basis-point increase in the weighted average cost of capital would not result in the carrying value of any reporting unit to be in excess of the fair value. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset to the carrying value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow analyses that include significant man- agement assumptions such as revenue growth rates, operating margins, weighted average cost of capital, and assumed royalty rates. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the asset is reduced to fair value. In 2009, as part of the company’s annual review of intangible assets, an impairment charge of $67 million was recognized related to certain European trademarks, primarily in Germany and the Nordic region, used in the International Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment. The trademarks were determined to be impaired as a result of a decrease in the fair value of the brands, resulting from reduced expectations for discounted cash flows in comparison to prior year. The reduction was due in part to a deterioration in market conditions and an increase in the weighted average cost of capital. As of August 2, 2009, the carrying value of trademarks was $508 million. Holding all other assumptions used in the 2009 measurement constant, the estimated impact of a 100-basis-point increase in the weighted average cost of capital would be a reduction in the carrying value of trademarks of approximately $10 million. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on goodwill and intangible assets. The estimates of future cash flows involve considerable management judgment and are based upon assump- tions about expected future operating performance, economic conditions, market conditions, and cost of capital. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning. However, inherent in estimating the future cash flows are uncertainties beyond the company’s control, such as capital markets. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance, and economic conditions. Pension and postretirement benefits — The company provides certain pension and postretirement benefits to employees and retirees. Determining the cost associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care trend rates. Independent actuaries, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, perform the required calculations to determine expense. Actual results that differ from the actuarial assumptions are generally accumulated and amortized over future periods. The discount rate is established as of the company’s fiscal year-end measurement date. In establishing the discount rate, the company reviews published market indices of high-quality debt securities, adjusted as appropriate for duration. In addition, independent actuaries apply high-quality bond yield curves to the expected benefit payments of the plans. The expected return on plan assets is a long-term assumption based upon historical experience and expected future performance, considering the company’s current and projected investment mix. This estimate is based on an estimate of future inflation, long-term projected real returns for each asset class, and a premium for active management. Within any given fiscal period, significant differences may arise between the actual return and the expected return on plan assets. The value of plan assets, used in the calculation of pension expense, is determined on a calculated method that recognizes 20% of the difference between the actual fair value of assets and the expected calculated method. Gains and losses resulting from differences between actual experience and the assumptions are determined at each measurement date. If the net gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of plan assets or liabilities, a portion is amortized into earnings in the following year. Net periodic pension and postretirement expense was $53 million in 2009, $54 million in 2008 and $57 million in 2007. The 2008 expense included $2 million of special termination benefits and curtailment costs related to the Godiva divestiture, which was recorded in discontinued operations. The 2008 expense also included $4 million of 31 special termination and curtailment costs related to the restructuring initiatives. Significant weighted-average assumptions as of the end of the year are as follows: Pension Discount rate for benefit obligations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Expected return on plan assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A one percentage point increase in assumed health care costs would increase postretirement service and interest cost by approximately $1 million. Net periodic pension and postretirement expense is expected to increase to approximately $80 million in 2010 primarily due to a reduction in the discount rate for benefit obligations, a significant decline in the fair value of plan assets and a reduction in the expected return on plan assets. Although there were no mandatory funding requirements to the U.S. plans in 2009, 2008 and 2007, the company made voluntary contributions of $70 million in 2008 and $22 million in 2007 to a U.S. plan based on expected future funding requirements. Contributions to international plans were $13 million in 2009, $8 million in 2008 and $10 million in 2007. Given the adverse impact of declining financial markets on the funding levels of the plans, the company contributed $260 million to a U.S. plan in the first quarter of 2010. Contributions to non-U.S. plans are expected to be approximately $18 million in 2010. As of July 29, 2007, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans as an asset or liability on the balance sheet and requires any unrecognized prior service cost and actuarial gains/losses to be recognized in other comprehensive income. See also Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on pension and postretirement expenses. Income taxes — The effective tax rate reflects statutory tax rates, tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the company operates and management’s estimate of the ultimate outcome of various tax audits and issues. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions. Income taxes are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable in the current year and include the effect of deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future impact of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Beginning in 2008, the tax reserves are established in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. (FIN) 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which was adopted at the beginning of fiscal 2008. Upon adoption, the company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $6 million as an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, and a reduction in retained earnings. Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, tax reserves were established to reflect the probable outcome of known tax contingencies. As of August 2, 2009, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $50 million. 32 See also Notes 1 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on income taxes. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations,” which establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction costs to be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” SFAS No. 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 apply to business combinations for which the acquisition date is after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The company will adopt SFAS 141(R) as revised for any business combinations entered into in fiscal 2010 and thereafter. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non- controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be recorded as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement also requires that consolidated net income shall be adjusted to include the net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest. Disclosure on the face of the income statement of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is required. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The company will adopt SFAS No. 160 in first quarter of fiscal 2010. The company does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1 “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Upon adoption, a company is required to retrospec- tively adjust its earnings per share data (including any amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1. The company will adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1 in fiscal 2010 and all prior period earnings per share data will be restated. Upon adoption, the company expects the following reduction in basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008: 2009 2008 Basic Diluted Basic Diluted Continuing operations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(.03) Net earnings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(.03) $(.01) $(.01) $(.03) $(.06) $(.01) $(.03) In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1 “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” which provides additional guidance on employers’ disclosures about the plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The disclosures required by FSP FAS 132(R)-1 include a description of how investment allocation decisions are made, major categories of plan assets, valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the impact of measurements using significant unobservable inputs and concentrations of risk within plan assets. The disclosures about plan assets required by this FSP shall be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will be effective for the company for fiscal year end 2010 and will result in additional disclosures. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods and amends APB Opinion No. 28 “Interim Financial Reporting” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. 33 The FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. The company will adopt the disclosure requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results This Report contains “forward-looking” statements that reflect the company’s current expectations regarding future results of operations, economic performance, financial condition and achievements of the company. The company tries, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will” and similar expressions. One can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements reflect the company’s current plans and expectations and are based on information currently available to it. They rely on a number of assumptions regarding future events and estimates which could be inaccurate and which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. The company wishes to caution the reader that the following important factors and those important factors described in Part 1, Item 1A and elsewhere in the commentary, or in the Securities and Exchange Commission filings of the company, could affect the company’s actual results and could cause such results to vary materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the company: (cid:129) the impact of strong competitive response to the company’s efforts to leverage its brand power with product innovation, promotional programs and new advertising, and of changes in consumer demand for the company’s products; (cid:129) the risks in the marketplace associated with trade and consumer acceptance of product improvements, shelving initiatives and new product introductions; (cid:129) the company’s ability to achieve sales and earnings guidance, which are based on assumptions about sales volume, product mix, the development and success of new products, the impact of marketing and pricing actions and product costs; (cid:129) the company’s ability to realize projected cost savings and benefits, including those contemplated by restructuring programs and other cost-savings initiatives; (cid:129) the company’s ability to successfully manage changes to its business processes, including selling, distri- bution, product capacity, information management systems and the integration of acquisitions; (cid:129) the increased significance of certain of the company’s key trade customers; (cid:129) the impact of inventory management practices by the company’s trade customers; (cid:129) the impact of fluctuations in the supply and inflation in energy, raw and packaging materials cost; (cid:129) the risks associated with portfolio changes and completion of acquisitions and divestitures; (cid:129) the uncertainties of litigation described from time to time in the company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings; (cid:129) the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, tax rates, interest rates, debt and equity markets, inflation rates, economic conditions and other external factors; and 34 (cid:129) the impact of unforeseen business disruptions in one or more of the company’s markets due to political instability, civil disobedience, armed hostilities, natural disasters or other calamities. This discussion of uncertainties is by no means exhaustive but is designed to highlight important factors that may impact the company’s outlook. The company disclaims any obligation or intent to update forward-looking statements made by the company in order to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they are made.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in prior- year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. The company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest July 31. There were 52 weeks in 2009 and 2007 and 53 weeks in 2008. On March 18, 2008, the company completed the sale of its Godiva Chocolatier business for $850, pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated December 20, 2007. The company has reflected the results of this business as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings. See Note 3 for additional information on the sale. On August 15, 2006, the company completed the sale of its United Kingdom and Ireland businesses for £460, or approximately $870, pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated July 12, 2006. The company has reflected the results of these businesses as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings. See Note 3 for additional information on the sale. Subsequent events have been evaluated through September 30, 2009, which represents the date the Consol- idated Financial Statements were issued. Revenue Recognition — Revenues are recognized when the earnings process is complete. This occurs when products are shipped in accordance with terms of agreements, title and risk of loss transfer to customers, collection is probable and pricing is fixed or determinable. Revenues are recognized net of provisions for returns, discounts and allowances. Certain sales promotion expenses, such as coupon redemption costs, cooperative advertising programs, new product introduction fees, feature price discounts and in-store display incentives, are classified as a reduction of sales. Cash and Cash Equivalents — All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Inventories — All inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market. Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated over estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Buildings and machinery and equipment are depreciated over periods not exceeding 45 years and 15 years, respectively. Assets are evaluated for impairment when conditions indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Such conditions include significant adverse changes in business climate or a plan of disposal. Goodwill and Intangible Assets — Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but rather are tested at least annually for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are also tested for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.” Goodwill impairment testing first requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds fair value, goodwill is considered impaired. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying value of goodwill and the “implied” fair value, which is calculated as if the reporting unit had just been acquired and accounted for as a business combination. Impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets requires a comparison between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. If carrying value exceeds the fair value, the asset is reduced to fair value. Fair values are primarily determined using discounted cash flow analyses. See Note 5 for information on goodwill and other intangible assets. Derivative Financial Instruments — The company uses derivative financial instruments primarily for pur- poses of hedging exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodities and equity-linked employee benefit obligations. These derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with 40 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and does not use leveraged instruments. The company’s derivative programs include strategies that both qualify and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the company designates the derivative as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment (fair-value hedge), a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash-flow hedge), or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Some derivatives may also be considered natural hedging instruments (changes in fair value act as economic offsets to changes in fair value of the underlying hedged item) and are not designated for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. Changes in the fair value of a fair-value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the underlying hedged asset or liability (including losses or gains on firm commitments), are recorded in current-period earnings. The effective portion of gains and losses on cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. If a derivative is used as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, its changes in fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Any ineffective portion of designated hedges is recognized in current-period earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting are recognized in current-period earnings. Cash flows from derivative contracts are included in Net cash provided by operating activities. Stock-Based Compensation — On August 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R), which requires stock-based compensation to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and the cost to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The company provides compensation benefits by issuing unrestricted stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units (including EPS performance restricted stock/units and total shareowner return (TSR) performance restricted stock/units). In previous fiscal years, the company also issued stock options and stock appreciation rights to provide compensation benefits. SFAS No. 123R was adopted using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS No. 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. In addition, compensation expense was recognized for any unvested stock option awards outstanding as of the date of adoption. See also Note 14. Use of Estimates — Generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future impact of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the criteria that must be met for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also addresses derecognition, recognition of related penalties and interest, classification of liabilities and disclosures of unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 was effective 41 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The company adopted FIN 48 as of July 30, 2007 (the beginning of fiscal 2008). See Note 10 for additional information. 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 establishes a definition of fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements but rather applies to all other accounting pronounce- ments that require or permit fair value measurements. In February 2008, FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2 was issued, which delayed by a year the effective date for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The company adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 13 for additional information. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 as it relates to nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The company will adopt the remaining provisions in fiscal 2010 but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose, at specific election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. The company adopted SFAS No. 159 at the beginning of fiscal 2009. The company elected not to adopt the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 for eligible financial assets and liabilities. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” which enhances the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encouraged, but did not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The company adopted SFAS No. 161 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 12 for additional information. In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Statement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The company adopted SFAS No. 165 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. See Note 1 under Basis of Presentation for disclosures required under SFAS No. 165. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations,” which establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date with 42 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction costs to be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1 “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” SFAS No. 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 apply to business combinations for which the acquisition date is after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The company will adopt SFAS No. 141(R) as revised for any business combinations entered into in fiscal 2010 and thereafter. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non- controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be recorded as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement also requires that consolidated net income shall be adjusted to include the net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest. Disclosure on the face of the income statement of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is required. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The company will adopt SFAS No. 160 in first quarter of fiscal 2010. The company does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1 “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Upon adoption, a company is required to retrospec- tively adjust its earnings per share data (including any amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1. The company will adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1 in fiscal 2010 and all prior period earnings per share data will be restated. Upon adoption, the company expects the following reduction in basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008: 2009 2008 Basic Diluted Basic Diluted Continuing operations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(.03) Net earnings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(.03) $(.01) $(.01) $(.03) $(.06) $(.01) $(.03) In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1 “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” which provides additional guidance on employers’ disclosures about the plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The disclosures required by FSP FAS 132(R)-1 include a description of how investment allocation decisions are made, major categories of plan assets, valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the impact of measurements using significant unobservable inputs and concentrations of risk within plan assets. The disclosures about plan assets required by this FSP shall be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will be effective for the company for fiscal year end 2010 and will result in additional disclosures. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods and amends APB Opinion No. 28 “Interim Financial Reporting” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. The company will adopt the disclosure requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” The 43 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. 3. Divestitures Discontinued Operations On March 18, 2008, the company completed the sale of its Godiva Chocolatier business for $850. The purchase price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which resulted in an additional $20 of proceeds. The company has reflected the results of this business as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings. The company used approximately $600 of the net proceeds to purchase company stock. The 2008 results included a $462 after-tax gain, or $1.21 per share, on the Godiva Chocolatier sale. The company recognized a $4 benefit in 2009 as a result of adjustment to the tax liability associated with the sale. On August 15, 2006, the company completed the sale of its businesses in the United Kingdom and Ireland for £460, or approximately $870, pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated July 12, 2006. The United Kingdom and Ireland businesses included Homepride sauces, OXO stock cubes, Batchelors soups and McDonnells and Erin soups. The Sale and Purchase Agreement provides for working capital and other post-closing adjustments. Additional proceeds of $19 were received from the finalization of the post-closing adjustment. The company has reflected the results of these businesses as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings. The 2007 results included a $24 after-tax gain, or $.06 per share, on the United Kingdom and Ireland sale. The 2007 results also included a $7 tax benefit from the favorable resolution of tax audits in the United Kingdom. The company used approximately $620 of the net proceeds from the sale of the United Kingdom and Ireland businesses to repurchase shares. Upon completion of the sale, the company paid $83 to settle cross-currency swap contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts which hedged exposures related to the businesses. The remaining net proceeds were used to pay taxes and expenses associated with the business and to repay debt. Results of discontinued operations were as follows: 2009 Godiva 2008 Godiva 2007 UK/Ireland Godiva Total Net sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ — $ 393 Earnings from operations before taxes . . . . . . . . . .

The transaction, which was completed on May 12, 2008, included the following salty snack brands: Cheezels, Thins, Tasty Jacks, French Fries, and Kettle Chips, certain other assets and the assumption of liabilities. Proceeds of the sale were nominal. The business was historically included in the Baking and Snacking segment and had annual net sales of approximately $150. In connection with this transaction, the company recognized a pre-tax loss of $120 ($64 after tax or $.17 per share). This charge was included in the Restructuring 44 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) charges on the Statements of Earnings in 2008. See also Note 7. The terms of the agreement required the company to provide a loan facility to the buyer of AUD $10, or approximately USD $7. The facility was drawn down in AUD $5 increments in 2009. Borrowings under the facility are to be repaid five years after the closing date. In July 2008, the company entered into an agreement to sell its sauce and mayonnaise business comprised of products sold under the Lesieur brand in France. The company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $2 to adjust the net assets to estimated realizable value in 2008. The sale was completed on September 29, 2008 and resulted in $36 of proceeds. The purchase price was subject to working capital and other post-closing adjustments, which resulted in an additional $6 of proceeds. The business was historically included in the International Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment and had annual net sales of approximately $70.

In fiscal 2008, the Godiva Chocolatier business was sold. See Note 3 for additional information on the sale. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Away From Home business was reported as North America Foodservice. (2) In June 2008, the company acquired the Wolfgang Puck soup business for approximately $10. In May 2009, the company acquired Ecce Panis, Inc. for $66. See Note 8 for additional information. 46 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) (3) In July 2008, the company entered into an agreement to sell its sauce and mayonnaise business comprised of products sold under the Lesieur brand in France. The company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $2 to adjust the net assets to estimated net realizable value. The assets and liabilities of this business were reflected as assets and liabilities held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of August 3, 2008. The sale was completed on September 29, 2008.

Amortizable intangible assets consist substantially of process technology and customer intangibles. Amortization was less than $1 in 2009, 2008 and 2007. The estimated aggregated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is less than $1 per year. Asset useful lives range from ten to twenty years. In 2009, as part of the company’s annual review of intangible assets, an impairment charge of $67 was recognized related to certain European trademarks, primarily in Germany and the Nordic region, used in the International Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment. The trademarks were determined to be impaired as a result of a decrease in the fair value of the brands, resulting from reduced expectations for discounted cash flows in comparison to prior year. The reduction was due in part to a deterioration in market conditions and an increase in the weighted average cost of capital. In May 2009, the company acquired Ecce Panis, Inc. Intangible assets from the acquisition totaled $16. See Note 8 for additional information. In 2008, the company recognized an impairment charge of $4 related to the performance of certain trademarks used in the International Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment. 6.

Restructuring Charges On April 28, 2008, the company announced a series of initiatives to improve operational efficiency and long- term profitability, including selling certain salty snack food brands and assets in Australia, closing certain production facilities in Australia and Canada, and streamlining the company’s management structure. As a result of these initiatives, in 2008, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $175 ($102 after tax or $.27 per share). The charge consisted of a net loss of $120 ($64 after tax) on the sale of certain Australian salty snack food brands and assets, $45 ($31 after tax) of employee severance and benefit costs, including the estimated impact of curtailment and other pension charges, and $10 ($7 after tax) of property, plant and equipment impairment charges. In addition, approximately $7 ($5 after tax or $.01 per share) of costs related to these initiatives were recorded in Cost of products sold, primarily representing accelerated depreciation on property, plant and equipment. The aggregate after-tax impact of restructuring charges and related costs in 2008 was $107, or $.28 per share. In 2009, the company recorded approximately $22 ($15 after tax or $.04 per share) of costs related to these initiatives in Cost of products sold. Approximately $17 of the costs represented accelerated depreciation on property, plant and equipment, approximately $4 related to other exit costs and approximately $1 related to employee severance and benefit costs, including other pension charges. The company expects to incur additional pre-tax costs of approx- imately $12 in benefit costs related to pension charges. Of the aggregate $216 of pre-tax costs for the total program, the company expects approximately $40 will be cash expenditures, the majority of which was spent in 2009.

In the third quarter of 2008, as part of the previously discussed initiatives, the company entered into an agreement to sell certain Australian salty snack food brands and assets. The transaction was completed on May 12, 2008. Proceeds of the sale were nominal. See also Note 3. In April 2008, as part of the previously discussed initiatives, the company announced plans to close the Listowel, Ontario, Canada food plant. The Listowel facility produced primarily frozen products, including soup, entrees, and Pepperidge Farm products, as well as ramen noodles. The facility employed approximately 500 people. The company closed the facility in April 2009. Production was transitioned to its network of North American contract manufacturers and to its Downingtown, Pennsylvania plant. The company recorded $20 ($14 after tax) of employee severance and benefit costs, including the estimated impact of curtailment and other pension charges, and $7 ($5 after tax) in accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment in 2008. In 2009, the company recorded $1 of employee severance and benefit costs, including other pension charges, $16 ($11 after tax) in accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment and $2 ($1 after tax) of other exit costs. The company expects to incur approximately $12 in benefit costs related to pension charges. In April 2008, as part of the previously discussed initiatives, the company also announced plans to discontinue the private label biscuit and industrial chocolate production at its Miranda, Australia facility. The company closed the Miranda facility, which employed approximately 150 people, in the second quarter of 2009. In connection with this action, the company recorded $10 ($7 after tax) of property, plant and equipment impairment charges and $8 ($6 after tax) in employee severance and benefit costs in 2008. In 2009, the company recorded $1 in accelerated depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, and $2 ($1 after tax) in other exit costs. 51 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) As part of the previously discussed initiatives, the company streamlined its management structure and eliminated certain overhead costs. These actions began in the fourth quarter of 2008 and were substantially completed in 2009. In connection with this action, the company recorded $17 ($11 after tax) in employee severance and benefit costs in 2008.

Acquisitions On May 4, 2009, the company completed the acquisition of Ecce Panis, Inc., an artisan bread maker, for $66. The acquisition of Ecce Panis, Inc. is consistent with the company’s strategy to drive growth in its core categories. The results of operations of Ecce Panis, Inc. are included in the Baking and Snacking segment and were not material to 2009 results. The pro forma impact on sales, net earnings or earnings per share for the prior periods would not have been material. As part of the initial purchase price allocation, $46 was allocated to intangible assets primarily consisting of goodwill, trade secret process technology, trademarks and customer relationships. 52 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The following table presents the initial purchase price allocation of Ecce Panis, Inc.: May 4, 2009 Accounts receivable . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The company also entered into a master licensing agreement with Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, Inc. for the use of the Wolfgang Puck brand on soup, stock, and broth products in North America retail locations. Wolfgang Puck is one of the leading organic soup brands in the United States. This business is included in the U.S. Soup, Sauces and Beverages segment. The pro forma impact on sales, net earnings or earnings per share for the prior periods would not have been material. 9. Pension and Postretirement Benefits Pension Benefits — Substantially all of the company’s U.S. and certain non-U.S. employees are covered by noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. In 1999, the company implemented significant amendments to certain U.S. plans. Under a new formula, retirement benefits are determined based on percentages of annual pay and age. To minimize the impact of converting to the new formula, service and earnings credit continues to accrue for active employees participating in the plans under the formula prior to the amendments through the year 2014. Employees will receive the benefit from either the new or old formula, whichever is higher. Benefits become vested upon the completion of three years of service. Benefits are paid from funds previously provided to trustees and insurance companies or are paid directly by the company from general funds. Plan assets consist primarily of investments in equities, fixed income securities, alternative investments and real estate. Postretirement Benefits — The company provides postretirement benefits including health care and life insurance to substantially all retired U.S. employees and their dependents. In 1999, changes were made to the postretirement benefits offered to certain U.S. employees. Participants who were not receiving postretirement benefits as of May 1, 1999 will no longer be eligible to receive such benefits in the future, but the company will provide access to health care coverage for non-eligible future retirees on a group basis. Costs will be paid by the participants. To preserve the economic benefits for employees near retirement as of May 1, 1999, participants who were at least age 55 and had at least 10 years of continuous service remain eligible for postretirement benefits. In 2005, the company established retiree medical account benefits for eligible U.S. retirees, intended to provide reimbursement for eligible health care expenses. On July 29, 2007, the company adopted SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of defined postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability on 53 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) the balance sheet and requires any unrecognized prior service cost and actuarial gains/losses to be recognized in other comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 does not affect the company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows. As a result of the adoption in 2007, total assets were reduced by $294, shareowners’ equity was reduced by $230, and total liabilities were reduced by $64. The company uses the fiscal year end as the measurement date for the benefit plans.

Investment practices must comply with applicable laws and regulations. The company’s investment strategy has been based on an expectation that equity securities will outperform debt securities over the long term. Accordingly, in order to maximize the return on assets, a majority of assets are invested in equities. Additional asset classes with dissimilar expected rates of return, return volatility, and correlations of returns are utilized to reduce risk by providing diversification relative to equities. Investments within each asset class are also diversified to further reduce the impact of losses in single investments. The use of derivative instruments is permitted where appropriate and necessary to achieve overall investment policy objectives and asset class targets. The company establishes strategic asset allocation percentage targets and appropriate benchmarks for each significant asset class to obtain a prudent balance between return and risk. The interaction between plan assets and benefit obligations is periodically studied to assist in the establishment of strategic asset allocation targets. The company made voluntary contributions of $70 to a U.S. pension plan during the fiscal year ended August 3, 2008. Given the adverse impact of declining financial markets on the funding levels of the plans, the company contributed $260 to a U.S. plan in the first quarter of 2010. Contributions to non-U.S. plans are expected to be approximately $18 in 2010.

Savings Plan — The company sponsors employee savings plans which cover substantially all U.S. employees. The company provides a matching contribution of 60% (50% at certain locations) of the employee contributions up to 5% of compensation after one year of continued service. Amounts charged to Costs and expenses were $18 in both 2009 and 2008 and $17 in 2007. 57 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) 10.

Of these carryforwards, $115 expire between 2010 and 2028 and $173 may be carried forward indefinitely. The current statutory tax rates in these countries range from 20% to 35%. At August 2, 2009, valuation allowances have been established to offset $63 of these tax loss carryforwards. Additionally, at August 2, 2009, non-U.S. subsidiaries of the company have capital loss carryforwards of approximately $311, which are fully offset by valuation allowances. The company has undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries of approximately $515. U.S. income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings, which are deemed to be permanently reinvested. It is not practical to estimate the tax liability that might be incurred if such earnings were remitted to the U.S. The company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” as of July 30, 2007 (the beginning of fiscal 2008). Upon adoption, the company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $6 as an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, and a corresponding reduction in retained earnings.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits can change due to audit settlements, tax examination activities, statute expirations and the recognition and measurement criteria under FIN 48. The company is unable to estimate what this change could be within the next twelve months, but does not believe it would be material to the financial statements. 59 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The company’s accounting policy with respect to interest and penalties attributable to income taxes is to reflect any expense or benefit as a component of its income tax provision. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized in the Statements of Earnings in 2009 and 2008, respectively, was a benefit of $1 and $4. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008 was $8 and $7, respectively. None of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, including interest and penalties, are expected to be settled within the next twelve months. The $50 of unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, including interest and penalties, are reported as other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 2, 2009. Of the $61 of unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, including interest and penalties as of August 3, 2008, $2 were recorded in accrued income tax and $59 were reported as non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The company does business globally and, as a result, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the United States, Australia, Canada, Belgium, France and Germany. The tax years 2007 to 2009 are currently under audit by the IRS. In addition, several state income tax examinations are in progress for fiscal years 2001 to 2007. In Australia, the company has been subject to a limited scope audit by the Australian tax office for fiscal years through 2002. The statue of limitation is open for fiscal years 2003 forward. With limited exceptions, the company is no longer subject to income tax audits in Canada for fiscal years before 2005. The company is no longer subject to income tax audits for fiscal years 2005 and prior for Belgium and France, and for fiscal years 2007 and prior for Germany. 11.

The company may redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest or an amount designed to ensure that the note holders are not penalized by the early redemption. The fair value of the company’s long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt in Notes payable, was $2,437 at August 2, 2009 and $2,051 at August 3, 2008. In November 2008, the company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registered an indeterminate amount of debt securities. Under the registration statement, the company may issue debt securities, depending on market conditions. Principal amounts of debt mature as follows: 2010-$378 (in current liabilities); 2011-$701; 2012-$2; 2013- $400; 2014-$300 and beyond-$800. 12. Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of long-term debt as indicated in Note 11 is based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. The principal market risks to which the company is exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. In addition, the company is exposed to equity price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. In order to manage these exposures, the company follows established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative contracts such as swaps, forwards and commodity futures and option contracts. These derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and does not use leveraged instruments. The company’s derivative programs include strategies that both qualify and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” 61 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. The company minimizes the counterparty credit risk on these transactions by dealing only with leading, credit-worthy financial institutions having long-term credit ratings of “A” or better and, therefore, does not anticipate nonperformance. In addition, the contracts are distributed among several financial institutions, thus minimizing credit risk concentration. The company does not have credit-risk-related contingent features in its derivative instruments as of August 2, 2009. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to its international operations, including non-functional currency intercompany debt and net investments in subsidiaries. The company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. The company utilizes foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts as well as cross-currency swaps to hedge these exposures. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. The company typically hedges portions of its forecasted foreign currency transaction exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts for up to eighteen months. To hedge currency exposures related to intercom- pany debt, cross-currency swap contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the underlying debt. As of August 2, 2009, cross-currency swap contracts mature in 2010 through 2014. Principal currencies hedged include the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, euro, Swedish krona, New Zealand dollar, British pound and Japanese yen. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $322 and $307 at August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008, respectively. The effective portion of the changes in fair value on these instruments is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the Statements of Earnings on the same line item and same period in which the underlying hedge transaction affects earnings. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward and cross-currency swap contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $802 and $582 at August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008, respectively. Interest Rate Risk The company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps in order to maintain its variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines. Receive fixed rate/pay variable rate interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair-value hedges. The notional amount of outstanding fair-value interest rate swaps at August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008, totaled $500 and $675, respectively. In June 2008, the company entered into two forward starting interest rate swap contracts accounted for as cash- flow hedges with a combined notional value of $200 to hedge an anticipated debt offering in fiscal 2009. These swaps were settled as of November 2, 2008, at a loss of $13, which was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). In January 2009, the company issued $300 ten-year 4.50% notes. The loss on the swap contracts will be amortized over the life of the debt as additional interest expense. Commodity Price Risk The company principally uses a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. The company also enters into commodity futures and options contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of natural gas, diesel fuel, wheat, soybean oil, cocoa, aluminum and corn which impact the cost of raw materials. Commodity futures and option contracts are typically accounted for as cash-flow hedges or are not designated as accounting hedges. Commodity futures and option contracts are typically entered into to hedge a portion of commodity requirements for periods up to 18 months. The notional amount of commodity contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $7 and $66 at August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008, respectively. The notional amount of commodity contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $44 and $80 at August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008, respectively. As of August 2, 2009, the contracts mature within 12 months. 62 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Equity Price Risk The company hedges a portion of exposures relating to certain deferred compensation obligations linked to the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, the total return of the company’s capital stock and the total return of the Puritan Fund. Under these contracts, the company pays variable interest rates and receives from the counterparty either the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, the total return of the Puritan Fund, or the total return on company capital stock. These instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The contracts are typically entered into for periods not exceeding 12 months. The notional amount of the company’s deferred compensation hedges as of August 3, 2009 and August 3, 2008 were $48 and $56, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities, as described in Note 2. The provisions have been applied prospectively beginning August 4, 2008. Under SFAS No. 157, the company is required to categorize financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy: (cid:129) Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. (cid:129) Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data. (cid:129) Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Shareowners’ Equity The company has authorized 560 million shares of Capital stock with $.0375 par value and 40 million shares of Preferred stock, issuable in one or more classes, with or without par as may be authorized by the Board of Directors. No Preferred stock has been issued. Share Repurchase Programs In November 2005, the company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $600 of company stock through fiscal 2008. This program was completed during the third quarter of 2008. In August 2006, the company’s Board of Directors authorized using up to $620 of the net proceeds from the sale of the United Kingdom and Ireland businesses to purchase company stock. This program was completed at the end of fiscal 2007. In March 2008, the company’s Board of Directors authorized using approximately $600 of the net proceeds from the sale of the Godiva Chocolatier business to purchase company stock. This program was completed during the fourth quarter of 2008. In June 2008, the company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $1,200 of company stock through fiscal 2011. This program began in fiscal 2009. In addition to these publicly announced programs, the company repurchases shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under the company’s stock compensation plans. In 2009, the company repurchased 17 million shares at a cost of $527. Of the 2009 repurchases, approximately 13 million shares at a cost of $400 were made pursuant to the company’s June 2008 publicly announced share repurchase program. Approximately $800 remains available under this program as of August 2, 2009. In 2008, the company repurchased 26 million shares at a cost of $903. Of the 2008 repurchases, approximately 23 million shares at a cost of $800 were made pursuant to the company’s November 2005 and the March 2008 publicly announced share repurchase programs. In 2007, the company repurchased 30 million shares at a cost of $1,140. Of the 2007 repurchases, approx- imately 21 million shares at a cost of $820 were made pursuant to the company’s then publicly announced share repurchase programs, with a portion executed under two accelerated share repurchase agreements (Agreements) with Lehman Brothers Financial S.A. (Lehman), an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Inc., covering approximately $600 of common stock. The Agreements were entered into on September 28, 2006. Under the first Agreement, the company purchased approximately 8.3 million shares of its common stock from Lehman for $300, or $35.95 per share, subject to a purchase price adjustment payable upon settlement of the Agreement. Lehman was expected to purchase an equivalent number of shares during the term of the Agreement. On July 5, 2007, upon conclusion of the Agreement, the company made a settlement payment of $22 to Lehman, which was recorded as a reduction of Additional paid-in capital, based upon the difference between the volume weighted-average price of the company’s common stock during the Agreement’s term of $38.90 and the purchase price of $35.95. Under the second Agreement, the company purchased approximately $300 of its common stock from Lehman. Under this Agreement, Lehman made an initial delivery of 6.3 million shares on September 29, 2006 at $35.95 per share and a second delivery of 1.3 million shares on October 25, 2006 at $36.72 per share. Under the Agreement, the number of additional shares (if any) to be delivered to the company at settlement would be based on the volume 66 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) weighted-average price of company stock during the term of the Agreement, subject to a minimum and maximum price for the purchased shares. The volume weighted-average price during the term of the Agreement was $38.90. On July 5, 2007, upon conclusion of the Agreement, Lehman delivered approximately 200,000 shares to the company as a final settlement. Approximately $20 paid under the Agreement was recorded as a reduction of Additional paid-in capital. Stock Plans In 2003, shareowners approved the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of 28 million shares to satisfy awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted stock, restricted stock/units (including performance restricted stock) and performance units. Approximately 3.2 million shares available under a previous long-term plan were rolled into the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, making the total number of available shares approximately 31.2 million. In November 2005, shareowners approved the 2005 Long- Term Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of an additional 6 million shares to satisfy the same types of awards. Awards under the 2003 and 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plans may be granted to employees and directors. The term of a stock option granted under these plans may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under these plans vest cumulatively over a three-year period at a rate of 30%, 60% and 100%, respectively. The option price may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of the grant. Restricted stock granted in fiscal 2004 and 2005 vests in three annual installments of 1⁄3 each, beginning 21⁄2 years from the date of grant. Pursuant to the 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, in July 2005 the company adopted a long-term incentive compensation program which provides for grants of total shareowner return (TSR) performance restricted stock/ units, EPS performance restricted stock/units, and time-lapse restricted stock/units. Initial grants made in accor- dance with this program were approved in September 2005. Under the program, awards of TSR performance restricted stock/units will be earned by comparing the company’s total shareowner return during a three-year period to the respective total shareowner returns of companies in a performance peer group. Based upon the company’s ranking in the performance peer group, a recipient of TSR performance restricted stock/units may earn a total award ranging from 0% to 200% of the initial grant. Awards of EPS performance restricted stock/units will be earned based upon the company’s achievement of annual earnings per share goals. During the three-year vesting period, a recipient of EPS performance restricted stock/units may earn a total award ranging from 0% to 100% of the initial grant. Awards of time-lapse restricted stock/units will vest ratably over the three-year period. Annual stock option grants are not part of the long-term incentive compensation program for 2007, 2008 and 2009. However, stock options may still be granted on a selective basis under the 2003 and 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plans. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation recognized in Earnings from continuing operations was $84 for 2009, $83 for 2008 and $79 for 2007. Tax related benefits of $31 were recognized for 2009 and for 2008, and $29 were recognized for 2007. Stock-based compensation associated with discontinued operations was $3 and $2 after-tax in 2008 and 2007, respectively. 67 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Information about stock options and related activity is as follows: Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life Weighted- Average Exercise Price (Options in thousands) Aggregate Intrinsic Value 2009 Beginning of year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20,705 Granted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Time-lapse restricted stock/units granted in 2005 are expensed on a graded-vesting basis. Time-lapse restricted stock/units granted in fiscal 2006 and forward are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. EPS performance restricted stock/units are expensed on a graded-vesting basis, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. As of August 2, 2009, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock/ units and EPS performance restricted stock/units was $37, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.7 years. The fair value of restricted stock/units vested during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $47, $70 and $53, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock/units granted during 2008 and 2007 was $36.57 and $36.14, respectively. 68 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) The following table summarizes TSR performance restricted stock/units activity: Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Shares/Units (Restricted stock/units in thousands) Nonvested at August 3, 2008 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. As of August 2, 2009, total remaining unearned compensation related to TSR performance restricted stock/units was $51 which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 1.8 years. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock/units earned 125% of their initial grants based upon the company’s total shareowner return ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 31, 2008. As a result, approximately 280,000 additional shares were awarded. The total fair value of TSR performance restricted stock/units vested during 2009 was $58. The grant-date fair value of TSR performance restricted stock/units granted during 2008 and 2007 was $34.64 and $26.31, respectively. Prior to fiscal 2009, employees could elect to defer all types of restricted stock awards. These awards are classified as liabilities because of the possibility that they may be settled in cash. The fair value is adjusted quarterly. The total cash paid to settle the liabilities in 2009, 2008 and 2007 was not material. The liability for deferred awards was $8 at August 2, 2009. The excess tax benefits on the exercise of stock options and vested restricted stock presented as cash flows from financing activities in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $18, $8 and $25, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $72, $47 and $165 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and is reflected in cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, the calculations of basic earnings per share and earnings per share assuming dilution vary in that the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution include the incremental effect of stock options and restricted stock programs, except when such effect would be antidilutive. The dilutive impact of the accelerated share repurchase agreements described under “Share Repurchase Programs” was not material. Stock options to purchase approximately 3 million of shares of capital stock for 2009 and 1 million shares of capital stock for 2008 and 2007 were not included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the stock options exceeded the average market price of the capital stock, and therefore, would be antidilutive. 15. Commitments and Contingencies In February 2002, VFB L.L.C., an entity representing the interests of the unsecured creditors of Vlasic Foods International Inc., a company spun off by Campbell in March 1998, commenced a lawsuit against the company and several of its subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging, among other things, fraudulent conveyance, illegal dividends and breaches of fiduciary duty by Vlasic directors alleged to be under the company’s control. In September 2005, the District Court ruled in favor of Campbell, finding that Vlasic Foods was solvent at the time of the spin off transaction, and that Campbell is not liable to the plaintiff for the claims of Vlasic’s unsecured creditors or for any other claims or damages. The judgment of the District Court was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in March of 2007. The case is closed. The company is a party to legal proceedings and claims arising out of the normal course of business. 69 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) Management assesses the probability of loss for all legal proceedings and claims and has recognized liabilities for such contingencies, as appropriate. Although the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in management’s opinion, the final outcome of legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the company. The company has certain operating lease commitments, primarily related to warehouse and office facilities, retail store space and certain equipment. Rent expense under operating lease commitments was $47 in 2009, $80 in 2008 and $82 in 2007. These amounts included $33 and $42 in 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to discontinued operations. Future minimum annual rental payments under these operating leases are as follows: 2010 $46 2011 $41 2012 $36 2013 $31 2014 $25 Thereafter $57 The company guarantees approximately 1,900 bank loans made to Pepperidge Farm independent sales distributors by third party financial institutions for the purchase of distribution routes. The maximum potential amount of future payments the company could be required to make under the guarantees is $159. The company’s guarantees are indirectly secured by the distribution routes. The company does not believe it is probable that it will be required to make guarantee payments as a result of defaults on the bank loans guaranteed. The amounts recognized as of August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008 were not material. In connection with the sale of certain Australian salty snack food brands and assets, the company agreed to provide a loan facility to the buyer of AUD $10, or approximately USD $7. The facility was drawn down in AUD $5 increments in 2009. Borrowings under the facility are to be repaid five years after the closing date. The company has provided certain standard indemnifications in connection with divestitures, contracts and other transactions. Certain indemnifications have finite expiration dates. Liabilities recognized based on known exposures related to such matters were not material at August 2, 2009. 70 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued) 16.

The financial information appearing throughout this Annual Report is consistent with the financial statements. Management is responsible for the information and representations in such financial statements, including the estimates and judgments required for their preparation. The financial statements have been audited by Pricewa- terhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears herein. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed entirely of Directors who are not officers or employees of the company, meets regularly with the company’s worldwide internal auditing department, other management personnel, and the independent auditors. The independent auditors and the internal auditing depart- ment have had, and continue to have, direct access to the Audit Committee without the presence of other management personnel, and have been directed to discuss the results of their audit work and any matters they believe should be brought to the Committee’s attention. The internal auditing department and the independent auditors report directly to the Audit Committee. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (cid:129) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (cid:129) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of the company; and (cid:129) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 2, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment using those criteria, management concluded that the company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 2, 2009. 76 The effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 2, 2009 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears herein. /s/ Douglas R. Conant Douglas R. Conant President and Chief Executive Officer /s/ B. Craig Owens B. Craig Owens Senior Vice President — Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer /s/ Anthony P. DiSilvestro Anthony P. DiSilvestro Vice President — Controller September 30, 2009 77 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareowners and Directors of Campbell Soup Company In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of earnings, of shareowners’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Campbell Soup Company and its subsidiaries at August 2, 2009 and August 3, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended August 2, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 2, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Orga- nizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. As discussed in Note 1 and Note 9 the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in 2008, and the manner in which it accounts for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in 2007. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
