WhiteWave reported third quarter 2014 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.27, a 42 percent increase compared to third quarter 2013, excluding investments associated with its China joint venture. Including joint venture investments, WhiteWave reported third quarter 2014 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.26.
Net sales for the third quarter of 2014 were $857 million, a 34 percent increase from net sales of $639 million in the third quarter of 2013. This growth reflects the inclusion of Earthbound Farm and strong organic growth in both the North America and Europe segments. Excluding Earthbound Farm, organic net sales increased 12 percent due primarily to strong volume growth in both segments.
Adjusted operating income for the third quarter of 2014 increased 50 percent to $82 million, compared to $54 million in the third quarter of 2013, with operating margin expansion of 103 basis points. Excluding corporate costs related to the support of the China joint venture activities, operating margins expanded 116 basis points.
"We reported another quarter of strong financial results, with record net sales and strong operating performance leading to further earnings growth. Our organic net sales growth of 12 percent in the third quarter is the highest rate we achieved this year. Impressive results by our market-leading brands in North America and Europe powered another strong quarter as consumers across continents are increasingly looking for great-tasting, healthy and responsibly produced foods and beverages," said Gregg Engles, chairman and chief executive officer. "We executed on several strategic initiatives in the quarter with the acquisition of So Delicious to drive even further growth in our plant-based businesses, and an enhanced capital structure to support our continued growth plans. We enter the fourth quarter with strong growth momentum across all our businesses, positioning us to finish off 2014 with continued strong results, leading us to increase our full year EPS guidance."
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Certain financial measures in this release are presented on a non-GAAP, adjusted basis. North America segment financial results for the third quarter of 2014 are adjusted to exclude the expense related to the mark-to-market adjustment on commodity hedges. All other adjustments relate to corporate and other items. See reconciliations at the end of this release for further details and for reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to GAAP.
NORTH AMERICA SEGMENT
WhiteWave's North America segment consists of four platforms: Plant-based Foods and Beverages, Coffee Creamers and Beverages, Premium Dairy, and Organic Greens and Produce. In the third quarter of 2014, net sales for the North America segment were $728 million, an increase of 36 percent over the third quarter of 2013. Growth in the North America segment reflects increased net sales in every platform, including Earthbound Farm's results in the Organic Greens and Produce platform. Excluding Earthbound Farm, organic net sales for the third quarter of 2014 increased 10 percent from the third quarter of 2013, driven by strong growth across the other three North America platforms. Adjusted operating income for the North America segment increased 43 percent to $84 million in the third quarter, compared to the same period in 2013, driven by the addition of Earthbound Farm and by operating margin expansion of 56 basis points from North America's other three platforms.

Plant-Based Foods & Beverages
In the North America Plant-based Foods and Beverages platform, which includes Silk® soymilk, almondmilk, coconutmilk, and soy yogurts, net sales increased 9 percent in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013, driven primarily by increased volumes with additional contribution from price increases. The strong growth experienced in Silk almondmilk continued, with a 30 percent increase in sales in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The overall Plant-based Foods and Beverages category remained strong with 15 percent year-over-year category growth in the third quarter. WhiteWave's Silk brand continues to hold the No. 1 market position in almond, as well as in its other product subcategories.
Coffee Creamers & Beverages
In Coffee Creamers and Beverages, which includes coffee creamers and iced coffee under the International Delight®, Dunkin Donuts® and Silk® brands, as well as half and half dairy creamers under the LAND O LAKES® and Horizon Organic® brands, net sales increased 9 percent in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. Sales strength across the creamer portfolio drove increased volumes aided by price increases. The refrigerated creamers category grew 8 percent in the third quarter of 2014, with WhiteWave increasing its dollar share of the category over the quarter.
Premium Dairy
In Premium Dairy, Horizon Organic® net sales increased 13 percent in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily driven by volume growth and some benefit from price increases implemented over the prior twelve months. Growth was broad-based across the Horizon Organic portfolio with some contribution from the recently introduced brand extensions. Demand for organic milk remains high and drove 8 percent growth in the organic milk category in the third quarter, with Horizon Organic maintaining its leading market share.
Organic Greens & Produce
In Organic Greens and Produce, Earthbound Farm®'s third quarter of 2014 net sales were $141 million, a 7 percent increase over the prior year. Sales were driven by growth in organic packaged salads, which comprises the majority of Earthbound Farm's business, as well as increases in frozen products and fresh fruits and vegetables. The organic packaged salads category continues to grow, increasing 14 percent in the third quarter of 2014; with organic packaged salads' share of the total category growing to 25 percent in the third quarter of 2014. Earthbound Farm continues to hold the leading share in the organic packaged salad category.
EUROPE SEGMENT
The Europe segment consists of a Plant-based Foods and Beverages platform that operates primarily under the Alpro® brand. Net sales in the segment increased 24 percent on a reported basis in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013, and increased 21 percent on a constant currency basis. Operating income in the segment increased 82 percent to $14 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, with operating margin expansion of 338 basis points during the quarter.

| 2014 | 2013 | % Change | |
| Net Sales | $129 | $104 | +24% |
| Segment Operating Income | $14 | $8 | +82% |
Net sales growth in Europe was led by continued rapid growth in almond beverages, and continued strong growth in soy beverages, non-dairy yogurts and plant-based creams. Alpro continues to hold the leading market position across its core Western European geographies, with a composite share of 42 percent.
OTHER ITEMS
So Delicious Acquisition
On October 31, 2014, WhiteWave announced it completed the acquisition of So Delicious® for a purchase price of approximately $195 million in cash. Based in Eugene, Oregon, So Delicious manufactures, markets and distributes plant-based foods and beverages under the So Delicious® Dairy Free brand. The addition of So Delicious to WhiteWave's North America Plant-based Foods & Beverages platform increases capabilities in plant-based yogurt, beverages and creamers, and provides entry into a new category of plant-based frozen desserts. The transaction is expected to be accretive to WhiteWave's earnings in the first 12 months following closing, excluding certain transaction and integration expenses. WhiteWave anticipates significant cost savings opportunities from the extension of the So Delicious business across WhiteWave's existing business platform, capabilities and infrastructure.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities Modification
On August 29, 2014, WhiteWave entered into a third amendment of its senior secured credit facilities to extend maturity dates, reset amortization requirements, increase its revolving credit commitment to $1.0 billion from $850 million, and gain additional operational flexibility. The applicable interest rates and fees under the credit agreement were not modified in the amendment.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On September 17, 2014, WhiteWave issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. Net proceeds from the sale of the notes were approximately $490.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commission and offering expenses. The proceeds of the sale were utilized to pay down all outstanding borrowings under WhiteWave's senior secured revolving commitment, with the remaining proceeds increasing cash balances which were subsequently utilized in the purchase of So Delicious on October 31, 2014. The notes mature on October 1, 2022 and bear interest at a rate of 5.375 percent per annum payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2015.
FORWARD OUTLOOK
In the fourth quarter of 2014, management expects net sales growth to be in the low-thirties on a percentage basis, behind continued growth across all businesses and the inclusion of So Delicious' net sales for part of the quarter, offset by currency fluctuations and by organic milk supply constraints modestly softening growth expectations in the Premium Dairy platform. For full year 2014, management now expects net sales growth in the low to mid-thirties on a percentage basis. Excluding Earthbound Farm, management expects net sales on an organic basis to increase approximately 8 percent in the fourth quarter, resulting in approximately 11 percent organic net sales growth for full year 2014.
Management expects an adjusted total operating income percentage growth rate in the low to mid-forties for the fourth quarter of 2014, driven by continued strong volume growth, cost leverage and further progress on cost improvement and margin expansion initiatives. For full year 2014, management continues to expect adjusted total operating income growth in the mid-forties on a percentage basis.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 is expected to be approximately $14 to $15 million reflecting higher interest costs related to the senior unsecured notes issuance completed in the third quarter of 2014. Management estimates its effective tax rate to range between 34 to 35 percent for fourth quarter 2014.
Management is updating and increasing its expectations for full year 2014 adjusted diluted earnings per share from between $0.98 and $1.00 to now be between $0.99 and $1.00, excluding investments in its joint venture in China, despite an expected dilutive impact of over $0.02 adjusted diluted earnings per share for full year 2014 related to higher interest expense as a result of the senior unsecured notes issued in the third quarter of 2014; thereby essentially increasing its full year guidance range by $0.03 and $0.02, respectively on a comparative basis. Management now anticipates the joint venture in China will result in a reduction of approximately $0.06 per diluted earnings per share in 2014, due to increased expenses and other investments related to the expected initial launch of products late in the fourth quarter.
For the fourth quarter of 2014, management expects adjusted diluted earnings per share to range between $0.26 to $0.27, inclusive of an expected approximately $0.02 earnings per share dilutive impact from higher interest expense related to the senior unsecured notes issuance, and excluding a reduction of approximately $0.03 diluted earnings per share from estimated China joint venture investments. The China joint venture is in the process of being commercialized and there are numerous factors that may impact the amount of WhiteWave's estimated investment in the fourth quarter. Management does not anticipate the recently completed acquisition of So Delicious to have a material impact to fourth quarter 2014 adjusted diluted earnings per share, as integration of this business to leverage operational efficiencies is in the very early stages.
Management now projects capital expenditures will be approximately $280 to $290 million for the full year 2014, due in part to beginning projects originally planned for 2015 during the fourth quarter of 2014 to support stronger than anticipated growth. Timing of capital projects may vary and affect the amount of actual investments made in 2014.
"We delivered another quarter of strong top and bottom line results driven by growth across all of our platforms," said Kelly Haecker, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "In the third quarter, we continued to benefit from our increased scale and from past capital investments and pricing actions that led to strong operating performance with significant margin expansion, resulting in 42% earnings per share growth that exceeded the high end of our guidance. We strengthened our balance sheet by proactively addressing our capital structure in the quarter by increasing and extending the maturity of our senior credit facility and locking in attractively priced long-term capital with our inaugural $500 million senior unsecured notes issuance. We entered the fourth quarter very well positioned with a solid balance sheet, a moderate leverage profile and significant liquidity as we look to continue building on our growth momentum to close out 2014 with a strong fourth quarter."

EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we have presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted financial information for the periods presented, such as operating income, EBITDA, net income and diluted earnings per share. We present these non-GAAP measures in order to facilitate meaningful evaluation of our operating performance across periods. These adjustments include corporate costs associated with equity awards granted to certain of our executive officers, employees and directors in conjunction with our company's initial public offering in October 2012 (the "IPO Grants"), non-recurring transaction costs related to acquisitions and other investments, non-recurring transition costs related to our separation from Dean Foods Company, the elimination of a gain recognized from the reversal of restructuring costs, and the elimination of non-cash income or expense related to mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate and commodity hedges. These adjustments are intended to provide greater transparency of underlying profit trends and to allow investors to evaluate our business on the same basis as our management, which uses these non-GAAP measures in making financial and operating decisions and evaluating the company's performance. These adjustments are not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial performance would have been during the periods presented and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the company's results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from the statements set forth in this press release. Financial projections are based on a number of assumptions, and actual results could be materially different than projected if those assumptions are erroneous. The company's ability to meet targeted financial and operating results depend on a variety of economic, competitive, and governmental factors, including raw material availability and costs, the demand for the company's products and the company's ability to access capital under its credit facilities or otherwise, many of which are beyond the company's control and which are described in the company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014 as subsequently updated on September 11, 2014 in the Current Report on Form 8-K, and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
