<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt">LANCASTER COLONY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR RESULTS
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 17 &#151; Lancaster Colony Corporation (Nasdaq: LANC) today reported net
income for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 of $82,954,000, compared to $93,088,000 earned in
the preceding fiscal year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $2.48 compared to $2.67 a year
ago. Net sales for the fiscal year were a record $1.18&nbsp;billion compared to $1.13&nbsp;billion last year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fiscal 2006 results included an $11.4&nbsp;million pretax distribution (22 cents per share after
taxes) received under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA). In the preceding year,
the pretax CDSOA distribution was $26.2&nbsp;million (47 cents per share after taxes). Noncash
impairment charges affecting nonfood assets amounted to $0.6&nbsp;million before taxes (one cent per
share after taxes) in fiscal 2006 and $1.6&nbsp;million before taxes (three cents per share after taxes)
in fiscal 2005. Also, fiscal 2005 results included pretax income related to the liquidation of
LIFO inventories carried at substantially lower prior years&#146; costs, which totaled $1.3&nbsp;million (two
cents per share after taxes).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fourth quarter net income increased 12&nbsp;percent to $22,904,000, or 70 cents per basic and
diluted share, from $20,479,000, or 60 cents per basic and diluted share, for the corresponding
quarter a year ago. Fourth quarter net sales increased seven percent to $294&nbsp;million versus $276
million in the fourth quarter last year. The 2006 fourth quarter results reflected a favorable
pretax adjustment of approximately $1.4&nbsp;million (three cents per share after taxes) related to the
annual actuarial review of the company&#146;s self-insured workers&#146; compensation. This income was
partially offset by a fourth quarter pretax charge of $0.6&nbsp;million (one cent per share after taxes)
related to the partial settlement of automotive-segment pension obligations. The prior year&#146;s
fourth quarter results included pretax LIFO income of $0.4&nbsp;million (one cent per share after
taxes).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Chairman and CEO John B. Gerlach, Jr. said, &#147;We were quite pleased with the extent to which
our Specialty Foods group contributed to our fourth quarter top and bottom line improvements.
However, our nonfood operating results continue to be adversely impacted by a number of factors
including markedly higher raw material costs.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Specialty Foods sales increased five percent in the fourth quarter to $180.8&nbsp;million, driven
by internally-generated increases in both retail and foodservice sales. Operating income grew 20
percent to $34.3&nbsp;million. While fairly broad-based, volume growth was particularly strong in
retail produce dressings, vegetable dips and frozen rolls. Fourth quarter Specialty Foods sales
were helped by Easter falling in April this year. The segment&#146;s bottom line benefited from the
increased volume, modestly higher pricing, a stronger retail mix, solid operational performance and
raw material costs that were slightly favorable to the prior year levels.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Automotive sales increased 24&nbsp;percent in the fourth quarter to $71.0&nbsp;million, primarily
reflecting higher volumes of aluminum accessories for original equipment manufacturers from one
large program that ramped up in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Sales of several other product
lines, including extruded floor mats, also increased. The segment&#146;s operating income for the
fourth quarter totaled $1.2&nbsp;million, a decline from the year ago level of $2.5&nbsp;million, due to
lower operating contribution from floor mat products, where we experienced markedly higher raw
material costs, program startup charges and increased levels of overhead associated with lower
production levels of rubber floor mats. Contributions from aluminum accessory operations improved
during the quarter despite significant increases in aluminum raw material costs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Glassware and Candles sales totaled $42.5&nbsp;million, a decline of eight percent from the
comparable year&#146;s fourth quarter total. Retailers&#146; inventory reduction efforts and generally
competitive conditions led to sales declines in both candles and glass product lines. Operating
income for the quarter totaled $0.6&nbsp;million compared to $0.9&nbsp;million in the prior year. Lower
sales volumes and rising material costs, especially for paraffin waxes, contributed to the decline.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Gerlach said, &#147;We were gratified to conclude this past year with improved fourth quarter
results. In fiscal 2006, we returned over $186&nbsp;million to our shareholders in cash dividends and
share repurchases, and still ended the year with a strong balance sheet free of debt. While these
payments lowered our interest income, we believe this tradeoff has been well-received by our
shareholders, recognizing the substantial levels of cash and investments on our balance sheet a
year ago. We invested heavily in our food operations this past year resulting in record capital
expenditures. Fiscal 2007 should see somewhat lower capital expenditures, although potentially
still high by historical standards as we consider construction of a new frozen roll manufacturing
facility to complement our existing Sister Schubert&#146;s plant in Alabama. We believe this facility
would also give us the capability to address additional new product opportunities.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Gerlach continued, &#147;Looking to fiscal 2007, our Specialty Foods group is excited about the
breadth of the new products either recently, or planned to be, introduced including repackaged T.
Marzetti pourable salad dressings and vegetable dips, the <I>Teresa&#146;s Select Recipes </I>line of upscale
pourable dressings, a new form of pre-sliced garlic loaves, and frozen wheat rolls. Challenges we
face include very competitive market conditions for garlic bread products, an uncertain food
ingredient cost outlook and further increases in transportation fuel costs. Some start-up costs
will be incurred as we begin operations this quarter in our new dressing and sauce plant in
Kentucky.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Gerlach concluded, &#147;Our nonfood operations, while likely benefiting from modest pricing
relief, will continue to battle much higher year-over-year raw material costs, very competitive
market conditions and an uncertain retail environment. As we announced in April, outside financial
advisors are assisting us in our continuing review of strategic alternatives, including possible
divestitures among the nonfood operations. Several parties have expressed interest in various
operations, but no conclusive decisions have yet been reached.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>We desire to take advantage of the &#147;safe harbor&#148; provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the &#147;PSLRA&#148;). This news release contains various &#147;forward&#151;looking
statements&#148; within the meaning of the PSLRA and other applicable securities laws. Such statements
can be identified by the use of the forward-looking words &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;project,&#148;
&#147;believe,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;hope&#148; or similar words. These statements discuss future
expectations, contain projections regarding future developments, operations or financial
conditions, or state other forward-looking information. Such statements are based upon assumptions
and assessments made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current
conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe to be appropriate. These
forward-looking statements involve various important risks, uncertainties and other factors that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements. Actual results may differ as a result of factors over which we have no, or limited,
control including the strength of the economy, slower than anticipated sales growth, the extent of
operational efficiencies achieved, the success of new product introductions, price and product
competition, and increases in energy and raw material costs. Management believes these
forward-looking statements to be reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements that are based on current expectations. We undertake no obligation to publicly update
such forward-looking statements. Specific influences relating to forward-looking statements are
numerous, including the uncertainty regarding the effect or outcome of our decision to explore
strategic alternatives among our nonfood operations. More detailed statements regarding significant
events that could affect our financial results are included in our annual report on </I><I>Form 10-K</I><I> as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.</I>
