Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The information required by this item is included in Item 8.01 and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Tyson Foods, Inc. (“Company”), began reporting its International operation as a separate reportable segment as a result of changes to its internal financial reporting to align with previously announced executive leadership changes. The International segment, which was previously included in our Chicken segment, includes the Company’s foreign operations primarily related to raising and processing live chickens into fresh, frozen and value-added chicken products in Brazil, China, India and Mexico.
The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) to update previously filed historical financial statements to reflect the change in reported segments. Accordingly, this Current Report contains restated Business, Properties, Selected Financial Data, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 28, 2013 (five years for the purposes of Selected Financial Data). Such information relates to Items 1 and 2 of Part I and Items 6, 7 and 8 of Part II of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013. The Company’s net income for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 28, 2013 (the "2013 10-K") was not impacted by the change in reported segments.
The Company has not otherwise updated its financial information or business discussion for activities or events occurring after the date this information was presented in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013. The fiscal 2014 outlook, which is included in Part II, Item 7, has not been updated and does not account for the change in reportable segments. You should read this Current Report on Form 8-K in conjunction with the portions of the Company's 2013 10-K that are not specifically revised in Exhibit 99.1, the most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014, any amendments thereto for updated information and updated fiscal 2014 outlook.
