"I am very pleased with our first quarter performance," said

brands are gaining strength, our costs are coming down and our team
is markedly stronger. Overall, we are off to an encouraging start
against our three-year plan to build a consistently growing and
more profitable branded food company."
He added, "While we are pleased with this progress, we recognize
that we are only one quarter into our year. We want to wait for
greater visibility into the cost picture and see our momentum
continue to develop further before making any changes to our
outlook. Accordingly, our full year guidance, given on August 9,
remains unchanged at this time."

Discussion of Continuing Operations Results
The company posted increases in adjusted net sales and adjusted
operating income versus the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Higher
adjusted net sales, coupled with lower expenses, including
deflationary commodities, actions taken to lower SG&A costs,
and lower variable costs, drove higher adjusted operating
income.
Retail
Net sales in the Retail segment increased 3.0% in the quarter,
driven by 2.3% volume growth. Adjusted operating segment income
increased by 45.5%, primarily due to lower input costs and lower
SG&A costs, reflecting the benefit of the company's cost
reduction programs.
Jimmy Dean turned in a strong performance during the quarter,
with double-digit sales growth. Ball Park also posted solid top
line growth during the key summer hot dog season and the brand's
new Flame Grilled Patties continued to perform well. Aidells
continued to deliver strong double-digit growth and launched
several new products, including hot dogs and all-natural salame.
Each of these brands received strong MAP support, reflecting the
company's commitment to brand building for the long-term.
Foodservice/Other
In the first quarter, Foodservice/Other adjusted net sales
declined 1.6%. While volumes increased, revenues declined on a less
profitable sales mix and lower pricing tied to declining input
costs. Adjusted operating segment income increased $3 million, as a
result of positive price recovery and lower SG&A expenses.
Foodservice Bakery struggled as industry trends for dessert
consumption continued to decline and as the business was impacted
by the lingering negative effects following the plant upgrades in
the Tarboro, N.C. facility.
Australian Bakery
The Australian Bakery segment reported a 2.3% decline in sales
in the quarter. The sales decline was expected, driven by the
closing of a number of outlet stores and the exiting of
unprofitable private label businesses. Excluding negative currency
impacts, sales were down 1.1%. Adjusted operating segment income
increased by $2 million on lower costs.
Corporate
The company's corporate expenses, excluding significant items,
declined $14 million versus the first quarter of fiscal 2012, to $8
million. This reduction was driven primarily by an $8 million
year-over-year increase in commodity mark-to-market gains, as well
as cost savings initiatives, including headcount reductions.
Dividend
On October 25, 2012, Hillshire Brands' board of directors
declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share to be paid on
December 31, 2012 to shareholders of record as of December 3,
2012.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management measures and reports Hillshire Brands' financial
results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). In this release, Hillshire Brands highlights
certain items that have significantly impacted the company's
financial results and uses several non-GAAP financial measures to
help investors understand the financial impact of these significant
items.
"Significant items" are income or charges (and related tax
impact) that management believes have had or are likely to have a
significant impact on the earnings of the applicable business
segment or on the total company for the period in which the item is
recognized, are not indicative of the company's core operating
results and affect the comparability of underlying results from
period to period. Significant items may include, but are not
limited to: charges for exit activities; consulting and advisory
costs; lease and contractual obligation exit costs; impairment
charges; tax charges on deemed repatriated earnings; tax costs and
benefits resulting from the disposition of a business; impact of
tax law changes; gains on the sale of discontinued operations;
changes in tax valuation allowances and favorable or unfavorable
resolution of open tax matters based on the finalization of tax
authority examinations or the expiration of statutes of
limitations. Management highlights significant items to provide
greater transparency into the underlying sales or profit trends of
Hillshire Brands or the applicable business segment or discontinued
operations and to enable more meaningful comparability between
financial results from period to period. Additionally, Hillshire
Brands believes that investors desire to understand the impact of
these factors to better project and assess the longer term trends
and future financial performance of the company.
This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude from a financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP
the impact of the significant items and the impact of dispositions.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect
an additional way of viewing aspects of Hillshire Brands' business
that, when viewed together with Hillshire Brands' financial results
computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete
understanding of factors and trends affecting Hillshire Brands'
historical financial performance and projected future operating
results, greater transparency of underlying profit trends and
greater comparability of results across periods. These non-GAAP
financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for the
comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction
with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with GAAP.
In addition, investors frequently have requested information
from management regarding the impact of significant items.
Management believes, based on feedback it has received during
earnings calls and discussions with investors, that these non-GAAP
measures enhance investors' ability to assess Hillshire Brands'
historical and projected future financial performance. Management
also uses certain of these non-GAAP financial measures, in
conjunction with the GAAP financial measures, to understand, manage
and evaluate our businesses, in planning for and forecasting
financial results for future periods, and as one factor in
determining achievement of incentive compensation. Two of the five
performance measures under Hillshire Brands' annual incentive plan
are net sales and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), which
are the reported amounts as adjusted for significant items and
other items. Many of the significant items will recur in future
periods; however, the amount and frequency of each significant item
varies from period to period.
The following is an explanation of the non-GAAP financial
measures presented in this release.
"Adjusted Diluted EPS" excludes from diluted EPS for continuing
operations the per share impact of significant items.
"Adjusted Net Income" excludes from net income the impact of
significant items related to both continuing and discontinued
operations recognized in the fiscal period presented. It does not
exclude the impact of businesses that have been exited or divested
and does not exclude the impact of businesses acquired after the
start of the fiscal period presented. Results for businesses
acquired are included from the date of acquisition onward.
"Adjusted Net Sales" for continuing operations excludes from net
sales as reported the impact of businesses that have been exited or
divested for all periods presented but does not exclude the impact
of businesses acquired after the start of the fiscal period
presented. Results for businesses acquired are included from the
date of acquisition onward.
"Adjusted Operating Income" for continuing operations excludes
from operating income the impact of significant items. It also
excludes the results of businesses that have been exited or
divested for all periods presented but does not exclude the impact
of businesses acquired after the start of the fiscal period
presented. Results for businesses acquired are included from the
date of acquisition onward.
"Adjusted Operating Segment Margin" for continuing operations or
an indicated business segment equals adjusted operating segment
income for a business segment divided by adjusted net sales for
that business segment.
"Adjusted Operating Segment Income" for all business segments
combined or for an indicated business segment excludes from the
applicable operating segment income measure the impact of
significant items recognized by that portion of the business during
the fiscal period presented and excludes the results of businesses
that have been exited or divested for all periods presented but
does not exclude the impact of businesses acquired after the start
of the fiscal period presented. Results for businesses acquired are
included from the date of acquisition onward.
"Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations" excludes from
income from continuing operations the impact of significant items
related to continuing operations recognized in the fiscal period
presented. It does not exclude the impact of businesses that have
been exited or divested and does not exclude the impact of
businesses acquired after the start of the fiscal period presented.
Results for businesses acquired are included from the date of
