Net sales were $6.5 billion, down 5.1 percent versus the year-ago period, including a negative 2.3 percentage point impact from divestitures and an unfavorable 0.6 percentage point impact from currency. Organic Net Sales(1) decreased 2.2 percent versus the year-ago period. Pricing increased 2.0 percentage points versus the prior year period, with higher pricing in all business segments except Canada. Volume/mix decreased 4.2 percentage points, primarily driven by volume/mix declines in the United States and, to a lesser extent, Rest of World markets that more than offset growth in Canada and EMEA.
Net income attributable to common shareholders increased to $182 million and diluted EPS increased to $0.15, primarily reflecting lower non-cash impairment charges recognized in the current year period. The current period included approximately $453 million of non-cash impairment charges to lower the carrying amount of goodwill in the Company’s Australia & New Zealand, as well as Latin America Exports businesses, as well as non-cash impairment charges of approximately $213 million to lower the carrying amount of the Maxwell House trademark. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6.6 percent versus the year-ago period to $1.6 billion, including an unfavorable 1.3 percentage point impact from currency and a negative 1.5 percentage point impact from divestitures. Excluding these factors, growth in the United States and EMEA was more than offset by higher supply chain costs in Rest of World markets, higher general corporate expenses, and lower pricing versus the prior year period in Canada. Adjusted EPS decreased 14.3 percent to $0.72, reflecting lower Adjusted EBITDA, a higher effective tax rate, and higher stock-based compensation versus the prior year period.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA | 1,270 | 1,249 | 1.6% | 0.0 pp | 0.0 pp | ||||||||
United States net sales were $4.7 billion, down 2.7 percent versus the year-ago period. Pricing increased 3.1 percentage points, reflecting a combination of higher list prices in several categories, including price increases to reflect higher key commodity(2) costs for dairy and meats, as well as a favorable impact from promotional timing versus the prior year, and reduced promotional intensity compared to the year-ago period. Volume/mix decreased 5.8 percentage points, primarily due to lower shipments of cheese, coffee, cold cuts, and bacon that more than offset growth in condiments and sauces as well as foodservice. The decreases reflect volume declines in response to higher prices, including prior year promotional activities that were not repeated, as well as lower distribution in cold cuts and frozen categories at select retailers.
United States Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 1.6 percent versus the year-ago period to $1.3 billion, driven by higher pricing, lower procurement and logistics costs, as well as lower variable compensation versus the prior year. This more than offset unfavorable impacts from volume/mix and key commodity cost inflation, specifically in dairy and meats, as well as higher manufacturing costs.

Canada net sales were $457 million, 23.8 percent lower than the year-ago period, including a negative 21.4 percentage point impact from the Canadian natural cheese divestiture and a favorable 0.1 percentage point impact from currency. Organic Net Sales decreased 2.5 percent versus the year-ago period. Pricing declined 5.0 percentage points, reflecting unfavorable trade expense versus the prior year and increased holiday-related promotional activity across several categories. Volume/mix increased 2.5 percent, driven by consumption-led growth in peanut butter and pasta sauce that more than offset lower shipments for cheese and ongoing weakness in coffee.
Canada Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 26.1 percent versus the year-ago period to $116 million, including a negative 14.8 percentage point impact from a divestiture and a 0.2 percentage point favorable impact from currency. Excluding the impact of these factors, the decrease versus prior year was due to lower pricing, as well as unfavorable dairy and procurement costs versus the prior year period.

EMEA net sales were $689 million, down 0.5 percent versus the year-ago period, due to a negative 0.8 percentage point impact from currency.

EMEA Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.3 percent versus the year-ago period to $182 million, despite a negative 1.4 percentage point impact from currency.

Rest of World Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased 53.9 percent versus the year-ago period to $60 million, including an 8.0 percentage point unfavorable impact from currency and a 0.3 percentage point unfavorable impact from divestiture.

Excluding these factors, the decline in Segment Adjusted EBITDA was driven by ongoing supply chain cost inflation and lower volume/mix.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) that are presented in this press release.
To supplement the financial information, the Company has presented Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net sales, net income/(loss), diluted earnings per share, or other measures prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing the Company's performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company's underlying operations. Management believes that presenting the Company's non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS) is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company's results. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.
Organic Net Sales is defined as net sales excluding, when they occur, the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures, and a 53rd week of shipments. The Company calculates the impact of currency on net sales by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year's exchange rate, with the exception of highly inflationary subsidiaries, for which the Company calculates the previous year's results using the current year's exchange rate. Organic Net Sales is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing the Company's performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company's underlying operations.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, other expense/(income), provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (excluding integration and restructuring expenses); in addition to these adjustments, the Company excludes, when they occur, the impacts of integration and restructuring expenses, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, and equity award compensation expense (excluding integration and restructuring expenses). The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis. The Company calculates the impact of currency on Adjusted EBITDA by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year's exchange rate, with the exception of highly inflationary subsidiaries, for which it calculates the previous year's results using the current year's exchange rate. Adjusted EBITDA and Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA are tools that can assist management and investors in comparing the Company's performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company's underlying operations.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share excluding, when they occur, the impacts of integration and restructuring expenses, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, losses/(gains) on the sale of a business, other losses/(gains) related to acquisitions and divestitures (e.g., tax and hedging impacts), nonmonetary currency devaluation (e.g., remeasurement gains and losses), debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, and U.S. Tax Reform discrete income tax expense/(benefit), and including when they occur, adjustments to reflect preferred stock dividend payments on an accrual basis. The Company believes Adjusted EPS provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis.
See the attached schedules for supplemental financial data, which includes the financial information, the non-GAAP financial measures and corresponding reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures for the relevant periods.
