Findus Group's Continental European Business Acquisition Highlights

On 2 November 2015, Nomad Foods completed its acquisition of Findus Sverige AB and its subsidiaries (the "Findus Group's Continental European business") for approximately GBP500 million. The acquired business includes operations across continental Europe with leading market positions in France, Sweden and Spain along with the intellectual and commercialization rights to the Findus, Lutosa (until 2020) and La Cocinera brands in their respective markets. Findus Group's Continental European business has approximately 1,500 employees and 6 manufacturing locations. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded from a combination of cash on hand and the issuance of a EUR325 million tranche of senior debt under Nomad Foods senior credit facility. The remainder of the consideration was funded via the issuance of 8,378,380 ordinary shares. Following this issuance, the Company's total number of ordinary shares in issue is 178,431,796 of which none are held in treasury.

At the time the deal was announced, Nomad Foods communicated a synergy target range of EUR25 - EUR30 million over the three year period ending in 2018. Following further analysis, management now expects to deliver synergies in the range of EUR35 - EUR40 million over the same period.

Management Comments on Results

Stéfan Descheemaeker, Nomad Foods' Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our overall third quarter performance was in-line with our expectations at the time of the acquisition of the Iglo Group, taking into account the continuing difficult retail environment across our three largest markets. As we look forward to fiscal 2016, we are confident our revised strategy (shift from innovation to renovation, revenue management focus, recalibration between local and global), our renewed cost savings program and our management changes will enable us to improve results and take advantage of the growth opportunities in Europe. In addition, our successfully completed acquisitions of Iglo and the Findus Group's Continental European business, and the synergies we are confident of delivering, will strengthen Nomad's position as a leader within the frozen and packaged food space and enable us to strengthen our position in the marketplace."

Noam Gottesman, Nomad Foods' Co-Chairman and Founder, commented, "I am impressed with the progress that Stéfan and his team have made in re-positioning Nomad with a strong platform of well-known frozen foods brands. Our strategic acquisitions of Iglo and the Findus Group's Continental European business will increase Nomad's market share across Europe and allow us to yield substantial cost-saving synergies. I believe these transformative acquisitions coupled with the execution of Stéfan's strategic vision for long-term growth will lead to long-term value for shareholders as we build a best-in-class global consumer foods company."

Pro Forma As Adjusted Financial Information

November 16, 2015 02:30 ET (07:30 GMT)

Pro Forma As Adjusted financial information presented in this press release is based on the historical financial statements of Nomad Foods and the historical financial statements of the Iglo Group, and has been prepared to reflect the acquisition of the Iglo Group and the changes in the financing structure associated with the acquisition of the Iglo Group. Pro Forma As Adjusted financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical interim financial statements of Nomad Foods accompanying this press release.

The pro forma adjustments presented herein are based upon certain assumptions that Nomad Foods believes to be reasonable. Pro Forma As Adjusted financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the acquisition of the Iglo Group occurred on an earlier date, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations that the combined group will experience. Pro Forma As Adjusted financial information does not reflect the cost of any integration or benefits from the acquisition of the Iglo Group that may be derived in the future.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Nomad Foods also utilizes certain additional key performance indicators described below. Nomad Foods believe these measures provide an important alternative measure with which to assess its underlying trading performance on a constant basis. Nomad Foods' calculation of EBITDA and Pro Forma As Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited. EBITDA and Pro Forma As Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures and you should not consider them an alternative or substitute for Profit and Loss after tax as a measure of operating performance.

EBITDA is Profit/Loss before tax for the period before net financing costs, depreciation, amortization, exceptional items, charges relating to the Founders Preferred Shares Annual Dividend Amount, charges relating to the redemption of warrants and other similar items. Pro Forma As Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA further adjusted to add the results of the Iglo Group to the reported results of Nomad Foods for periods when Iglo Group was not owned by Nomad Foods. We believe EBITDA and Pro Forma As Adjusted EBITDA are useful indicators and can assist securities analysts, investors and other parties to perform their own evaluations. Accordingly, the information has been disclosed to permit a more complete and comprehensive analysis of our operating performance. EBITDA and similar measures are used by different companies for different purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the individual needs and circumstances of these companies. You should exercise caution in comparing EBITDA or Pro Forma As Adjusted EBITDA with similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and Pro Forma As Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of liquidity or performance calculated in accordance with IFRS and should be viewed as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results of operations presented in accordance with IFRS.
