Financial Overview

Canada Bread Company, Limited ("the Company") sales for the third quarter decreased 2.2% to $392.5 million compared to $401.5 million last year, or 1.4% after adjusting for discontinued categories in the U.K. and the impact of currency translation on sales in the U.S. and U.K. The decrease was due to lower sales volumes, primarily in the fresh bread business, partially offset by higher pricing across the Company.

Sales for the first nine months decreased 1.5% to $1,158.8 million compared to $1,176.6 million last year, or 0.9% after adjusting for discontinued categories in the U.K. and the impact of currency translation, due to similar factors noted above.

Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 16.7% in the third quarter to $38.9 million compared to $33.3 million last year, driven by higher pricing and operational improvements, partly offset by lower volumes. For the first nine months, Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 19.0% to $92.5 million compared to $77.7 million last year, due to similar factors noted above.

Net earnings in the quarter was $24.5 million ($0.96 basic earnings per share) compared to $23.5 million ($0.93 basic earnings per share) last year and included $3.7 million of pre-tax restructuring and other related costs (2012: $0.2 million). Year-to-date net earnings was $51.3 million ($2.02 basic earnings per share) compared to $49.8 million ($1.96 basic earnings per share) last year and included $15.2 million of pre-tax restructuring and other related costs (2012: $7.3 million).

Adjusted Earnings per Share was $1.10 for the third quarter (2012: $0.93) and $2.60 for the first nine months of 2013 (2012: $2.18).

Several items are excluded from the discussions of underlying earnings performance as they are not representative of on-going operational activities.

Fresh Bakery

Includes fresh bakery products, including breads, rolls, bagels, sweet goods, and fresh pasta and sauces sold to retail, foodservice and convenience channels. It includes national brands such as Dempster's(®) and Olivieri(®) and many leading regional brands.

Fresh Bakery sales for the third quarter decreased 4.0% to $266.7 million compared to $277.7 million last year, as lower volumes were partly offset by the benefit of an earlier price increase in the fresh bread business. During the first nine months of 2013, sales decreased 3.0% to $780.6 million compared to $805.1 million last year due to similar factors.

Adjusted Operating Earnings in the Fresh Bakery segment declined 5.9% to $26.4 million from $28.1 million last year. Lower volumes and higher raw material and inflationary costs in the fresh bread business were partly offset by operating efficiencies, driven by the closure of a third Toronto, Ontario bakery, higher pricing, and lower selling, general, and administrative expenses. Earnings in the fresh pasta business were consistent with the prior year.

For the first nine months, Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 5.8% to $68.2 million compared to $64.5 million last year. In the fresh bread business, earnings improved as a result of higher pricing, operational improvements, and lower selling, general, and administrative spend, partly offset by lower volumes and higher raw material and other inflationary costs. Earnings in the fresh pasta business increased mainly due to an inventory write-off in the first quarter of last year that did not re-occur.

Frozen Bakery

Includes frozen bakery products, including frozen par-baked bakery products, specialty and artisan breads, and bagels sold to retail, foodservice and convenience channels in North America and the U.K. It includes national brands such as Tenderflake® and New York Bakery Co(TM).

Frozen Bakery sales for the third quarter increased 1.6% to $125.8 million, or 4.2% after adjusting for discontinued categories in the U.K. and the impact of currency translation on sales in the U.S. and U.K. The increase was driven by volume growth in the U.K., and higher pricing in both the North American and U.K. bakery businesses. Year-to-date Frozen Bakery sales increased 1.8% to $378.3 million, or 3.8% after adjusting for discontinued categories in the U.K. and the impact of currency translation on sales in the U.S. and U.K. The increase was due to similar factors affecting the third quarter.

Third quarter Adjusted Operating Earnings increased to $12.5 million from $5.2 million last year. The North American frozen bakery business benefited from operational cost reductions and higher pricing, while the U.K. business earnings benefited from increased volumes in the bagel and croissant categories. This business continued to benefit from network consolidation, investment in scale facilities and focus on its core categories.

For the first nine months of 2013, Adjusted Operating Earnings increased 83.4% to $24.2 million compared to $13.2 million last year, due to similar factors affecting the third quarter.

Subsequent Events

On October 21, 2013 the Company announced that it has established a Special Committee comprised solely of independent directors in connection with the potential sale by Maple Leaf Foods Inc., of its 90% interest in the Company. Maple Leaf has advised the Company's Board that it is exploring strategic alternatives for its 90% interest in the Company, including a potential sale. This process is expected to conclude in early 2014. There can be no assurance that the process being undertaken by Maple Leaf Foods Inc. will result in the consummation of any transaction.

On October 24, 2013, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the net assets of its fresh pasta and sauce business, a component of the Fresh Bakery segment, for gross proceeds of approximately $120 million. Subject to Competition Bureau review, the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2013.

Other Matters

On October 29, 2013, the Company declared a dividend of $0.50 per share payable on January 2, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 6, 2013. Unless indicated otherwise by the Company in writing on or before the time the dividend is paid, this dividend will be considered an Eligible Dividend for the purposes of the "Enhanced Dividend Tax Credit System".

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company uses the following non-IFRS measures: Adjusted Operating Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Share. Management believes that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to both Management and investors in measuring the financial performance of the Company for the reasons outlined below. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Operating Earnings

Adjusted Operating Earnings, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. It is defined as earnings before income taxes adjusted for items that are not considered representative of on-going operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in the earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. The table below provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported under IFRS in the unaudited consolidated interim statements of earnings to Adjusted Operating Earnings for the three and nine months ended, as indicated below. Management believes that this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate operating results, as they are representative of the on-going operations of the Company.

Adjusted Earnings per Share

Adjusted Earnings per Share, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate on-going financial operating results. It is defined as basic earnings per share, adjusted for items that are not considered representative of on-going operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. The table below provides a reconciliation of basic earnings per share as reported under IFRS in the unaudited consolidated interim statements of earnings to Adjusted Earnings per Share for the three and nine months ended, as indicated below. Management believes this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate financial results as they are representative of the on-going operations of the Company.
