Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Reportable Segments |
NOTE 3 | REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
We operate in one industry: the manufacturing and marketing of food products. We have four reportable segments: U.S. Retail Coffee, U.S. Retail Consumer Foods, U.S. Retail Pet Foods, and International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods. The U.S. Retail Coffee segment primarily represents the domestic sales of Folgers and Dunkin’ Donuts branded coffee; the U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment primarily includes domestic sales of Crisco, Jif, Smucker’s, and Pillsbury branded products; the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment primarily includes domestic sales of Meow Mix, Milk-Bone, Kibbles ’n Bits, Natural Balance, 9Lives, Pup-Peroni, Gravy Train, and Nature’s Recipe branded products; and the International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods segment is comprised of products distributed domestically and in foreign countries through retail channels, foodservice distributors and operators (e.g., restaurants, lodging, schools and universities, health care operators), and natural foods stores and distributors. Pet food and pet snacks sales outside of the U.S. retail market segment are reflected in International, Foodservice, and Natural Foods. Segment profit represents net sales, less direct and allocable operating expenses, and is consistent with the way in which we manage our segments. However, we do not represent that the segments, if operated independently, would report operating profit equal to the segment profit set forth below, as segment profit excludes certain operating expenses such as corporate administrative expenses and, effective May 1, 2014, unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative activities. Commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative gains and losses are reported in unallocated derivative gains and losses outside of segment operating results until the related inventory is sold. At that time, we reclassify the hedge gains and losses from unallocated derivative gains and losses to segment profit, allowing our segments to realize the economic effect of the hedge without experiencing any mark-to-market volatility. We would expect that any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of the derivatives would generally be offset by a change in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposures. Prior year segment results have been modified to exclude the unrealized gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives to conform to the new definition. As disclosed in Note 2: Acquisitions, we acquired Big Heart in a cash and stock transaction on March 23, 2015. The transaction resulted in a new reportable segment for 2015. There was no impact to our historical reportable segments, as there were no changes to the internal way we managed and reported those segments for 2015. However, we are in the process of finalizing our internal financial reporting structure and the impact on reportable segments for 2016 as a result of recent leadership changes. All historical information will be retroactively conformed to the new presentation once it is finalized.
