Note 1 Accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects normal recurring adjustments that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Companys 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The condensed balance sheet data at December 28, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
Accounts payable
Beginning in 2014, the Company has an agreement with a third party to provide an accounts payable tracking system which facilitates participating suppliers ability to monitor, and if elected, sell to designated third-party financial institutions, payment obligations of the Company. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Companys goal in entering into this agreement is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of pricing, payment terms or vendor funding, created by facilitating suppliers ability to sell receivables, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Companys obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers decisions to sell amounts under this arrangement. However, the Companys right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by this agreement for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. As of June 28, 2014, $142 million of the Companys outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $114 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions.
New accounting standards
Presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This ASU is expected to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from lack of previously existing guidance. It applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. The Company adopted the revised guidance on a prospective basis at the beginning of its 2014 fiscal year, with no significant impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) which provides guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity would be required to apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities will have the option to apply the final standard retrospectively or use a modified retrospective method, recognizing the cumulative effect of the ASU in retained earnings at the date of initial application. An entity will not restate prior periods if it uses the modified retrospective method, but will be required to disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of the ASU as compared to the guidance in effect prior to the change, as well as reasons for significant
8
changes. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as whether it will use the retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption.

Note 3 Restructuring and cost reduction activities
The Company views its continued spending on restructuring and cost reduction activities as part of its ongoing operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving its long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a five-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation.
The Company has initiated a number of restructuring and cost reduction activities. The most recent and largest program that is currently active is Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program announced in November 2013. The program is expected to generate a significant amount of savings that will be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. The Company expects that this investment will drive future growth in revenues, gross margin, operating profit, and cash flow.
The focus of the program will be to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation. The program is expected to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories.
During the quarter ended June 28, 2014, the Company recorded total charges of $78 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $31 million being recorded in cost of goods sold (COGS) and $47 million recorded in selling, general and administrative (SGA) expense. During the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014, the Company recorded total charges of $132 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $56 million being recorded in COGS and $76 million recorded in SGA expense.

For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014, and June 29, 2013, employee related costs consist primarily of severance benefits, asset related costs consist primarily of accelerated depreciation, and other costs consist primarily of third-party incremental costs related to the development and implementation of global business capabilities.
The Company currently anticipates that Project K will result in total pre-tax charges, once all phases are approved and implemented, of $1.2 to $1.4 billion, with after-tax cash costs, including incremental capital expenditures, estimated to be $900 million to $1.1 billion. The Company currently expects the charges will consist of asset-related costs totaling $450 to $500 million which will consist primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other exit-related costs; employee-related costs totaling $425 to $475 million which will include severance, pension and other termination benefits; and other costs totaling $325 to $425 million which will consist primarily of charges related to the design and implementation of global business capabilities. A significant portion of other costs are the result of the implementation of global business service centers which are intended to simplify and standardize business support processes.
The Company currently expects that total pre-tax charges will impact reportable segments as follows: U.S. Morning Foods (approximately 17%), U.S. Snacks (approximately 10%), U.S. Specialty (approximately 1%), North America Other (approximately 3%), Europe (approximately 10%), Latin America (approximately 2%), Asia-Pacific (approximately 6%), and Corporate (approximately 51%). A majority of the costs impacting Corporate relate to additional initiatives to be executed after 2014 that are currently not fully defined. As the development of these initiatives is completed, the Company will update its estimated costs by reportable segment as needed.
At June 28, 2014 reserves for all restructuring and cost reduction activities are reflected in the table below. A substantial portion of these reserves will be paid out in 2014 and 2015 related to severance payments and other costs.

Note 4 Equity
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to Kellogg Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly determined, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares consist principally of employee stock options issued by the Company, and to a lesser extent, certain contingently issuable performance shares. Basic earnings per share is reconciled to diluted earnings per share in the following tables. There were zero and 4 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014, respectively. There were 6 million and 4 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 29, 2013, respectively.

During the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 6 million shares of common stock for a total of $329 million. During the year-to-date period ended June 29, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 8 million shares of common stock for a total of $508 million.
Comprehensive income

In May 2014, the Company issued 500 million (approximately $678 million USD at June 28, 2014, which reflects the discount and translation adjustments) of seven-year 1.75% Euro Notes due 2021, using the proceeds from these Notes for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of a portion of the Companys commercial paper borrowings. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision.
In May 2014, the Company issued Cdn. $300 million (approximately $279 million USD at June 28, 2014, which reflects the discount and translation adjustments) of three-year 2.05% Canadian Dollar Notes due 2017, using the proceeds from these Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay the Companys Cdn. $300 million, 2.10% Notes due May 22, 2014 at maturity. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision.
In February 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured Five-Year Credit Agreement to replace its existing unsecured Four-Year Credit Agreement, which would have expired in March 2015. The Five-Year Credit Agreement allows the Company to borrow, on a revolving credit basis, up to $2.0 billion, which includes the ability to obtain letters of credit in an aggregate stated amount not to exceed $75 million and swingline loans in aggregate principal amounts up to $200 million in U.S. dollars and $400 million in Euros. The agreement contains customary covenants and warranties, including specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens and a specified interest coverage ratio. If an event of default occurs, then, to the extent permitted, the administrative agent may terminate the commitments under the credit facility, accelerate any outstanding loans under the agreement, and demand the deposit of cash collateral equal to the lenders letter of credit exposure plus interest.
In March 2014, the Company redeemed $150 million of its 4.0% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020, $342 million of its 3.125% U.S. Dollar Debentures due 2022 and $189 million of its 2.75% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2023. In connection with the debt redemption, the Company incurred $1 million of interest expense, offset by $8 million of accelerated gains on interest rate hedges previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and incurred $5 million of expense, recorded in Other Income, Expense (net), related to acceleration of fees on the redeemed debt and fees related to the tender offer.
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.4 billion, which effectively converts a portion of the associated U.S. Dollar Notes from fixed rate to floating rate obligations. These derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges. The effective interest rates on debt obligations resulting from the Companys interest rate swaps as of June 28, 2014 were as follows: (a) seven-year 4.45% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2016 3.43%; (b) five-year

1.875% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2016 0.97%; (c) five-year 1.75% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2017 - 1.31%; (d) seven-year 3.25% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2018 1.83%; (e) ten-year 4.15% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2019 - 2.71%; (f) ten-year 4.00% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020 - 2.80%; (g) ten-year 3.125% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2022 - 2.28%.
Note 6 Stock compensation
The Company uses various equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance incentives for its global workforce. Currently, these incentives consist principally of stock options, and to a lesser extent, executive performance shares, restricted stock units and restricted stock grants. The Company also sponsors a discounted stock purchase plan in the United States and matching-grant programs in several international locations. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock to its outside directors. The interim information below should be read in conjunction with the disclosures included within the stock compensation footnote of the Companys 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company classifies pre-tax stock compensation expense in SGA expense principally within its corporate operations. For the periods presented, compensation expense for all types of equity-based programs and the related income tax benefit recognized were as follows:

Performance shares
In the first quarter of 2014, the Company granted performance shares to a limited number of senior executive-level employees, which entitle these employees to receive a specified number of shares of the Companys common stock on the vesting date, provided cumulative three-year operating profit and internal net sales growth targets are achieved.
The 2014 target grant currently corresponds to approximately 227,000 shares, with a grant-date fair value of $54 per share. The actual number of shares issued on the vesting date could range from 0 to 200% of target, depending on actual performance achieved. Based on the market price of the Companys common stock at June 28, 2014, the maximum future value that could be awarded to employees on the vesting date for all outstanding performance share awards was as follows:

Note 8 Income taxes
The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarters ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 were 29.0% and 29.9%, respectively. The consolidated effective tax rates for the year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 were 28.9% and 29.2%, respectively.
As of June 28, 2014, the Company classified $5 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a net current liability. Managements estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months is comprised of the current liability balance which is expected to be settled within one year, offset by approximately $8
18
million of projected additions related primarily to ongoing intercompany transfer pricing activity. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant additional payments, accruals or other material deviation in this estimate.
Following is a reconciliation of the Companys total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014; $62 million of this total represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Companys effective income tax rate in future periods.

For the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2014 the Company recognized an increase of $1 million for tax-related interest and penalties. The Company recognized no cash settlements during the current quarter. The accrual balance was $18 million at June 28, 2014.
Note 9 Derivative instruments and fair value measurements
The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged.
The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, and uses other contracts to reduce volatility in interest rates, foreign currency and commodities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions.
Total notional amounts of the Companys derivative instruments as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were as follows:

Total |
$ | 4,245 | $ | 3,278 | ||||
Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, measured on a recurring basis.
Level 1 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts.
Level 2 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.
The Companys calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. Over-the-counter commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign
19
currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The Companys calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.
Level 3 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect managements own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of June 28, 2014 or December 28, 2013.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013:

The Company has elected to not offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013 would be adjusted as detailed in the following table:

During the next 12 months, the Company expects $17 million of net deferred losses reported in AOCI at June 28, 2014 to be reclassified to income, assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities.
Certain of the Companys derivative instruments contain provisions requiring the Company to post collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a liability position if the Companys credit rating is at or below BB+ (S&P), or Baa1 (Moodys). The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position on June 28, 2014 was $67 million. If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered as of June 28, 2014, the
23
Company would be required to post additional collateral of $56 million. In addition, certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would be triggered in the event the Company defaults on its debt agreements. There were no collateral posting requirements as of June 28, 2014 triggered by credit-risk-related contingent features, however, there was $11 million of collateral posted in connection with reciprocal collateralization agreements as discussed under Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements below.
Financial instruments
The carrying values of the Companys short-term items, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value. The fair value of the Companys long-term debt, which are level 2 liabilities, is calculated based on broker quotes and was as follows at June 28, 2014:
(millions) | Fair Value | Carrying Value | ||||||
Current maturities of long-term debt |
$ | 607 | $ | 607 | ||||
Long-term debt |
6,520 | 6,029 | ||||||
Total |
$ | 7,127 | $ | 6,636 | ||||
Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on derivative financial and commodity contracts. Management believes a concentration of credit risk with respect to derivative counterparties is limited due to the credit ratings and use of master netting and reciprocal collateralization agreements with the counterparties and the use of exchange-traded commodity contracts.
Master netting agreements apply in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. Certain counterparties represent a concentration of credit risk to the Company. If those counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of derivative contracts, this would result in a loss to the Company. As of June 28, 2014, the Company was not in a significant net asset position with any counterparties with which a master netting agreement would apply.
For certain derivative contracts, reciprocal collateralization agreements with counterparties call for the posting of collateral in the form of cash, treasury securities or letters of credit if a fair value loss position to the Company or its counterparties exceeds a certain amount. In addition, the Company is required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with its open positions for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments executed with the counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. As of June 28, 2014 the Company had posted collateral of $11 million in the form of cash, which was reflected as an increase in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 28, 2014 the Company posted $16 million in margin deposits for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments, which was reflected as an increase in accounts receivable, net.
Management believes concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the generally high credit quality of the Companys major customers, as well as the large number and geographic dispersion of smaller customers. However, the Company conducts a disproportionate amount of business with a small number of large multinational grocery retailers, with the five largest accounts encompassing approximately 28% of consolidated trade receivables at June 28, 2014.
Note 10 Contingencies
In connection with the Companys on-going labor negotiations with the union representing the work-force at our Memphis, TN cereal production facility, the National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint alleging unfair labor practices under the National Labor Relations Act in March 2014. On July 30, 2014, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that the Memphis employees were entitled to return to work while the underlying litigation continues. This ruling is not expected to have a material effect on the production or distribution of products from the Memphis, TN facility or a material financial impact on the Company. As of June 28, 2014, the Company has not recorded a liability related to this matter due to the uncertainty of any potential outcome. The Company will continue to evaluate the likelihood of potential outcomes for this case as the litigation continues.
Note 11 Reportable segments
Kellogg Company is the worlds leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of cookies and crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit-flavored snacks and veggie foods. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally. Principal markets for these products include the United States and United Kingdom.
The Company currently manages its operations through eight operating segments that are based on product category or geographic location. These operating segments are evaluated for similarity with regards to economic characteristics, products, production processes, types or classes of customers, distribution methods and regulatory environments to determine if they can be aggregated into reportable segments. The reportable segments are discussed in greater detail below.
U.S. Morning Foods includes cereal, toaster pastries, health and wellness bars, and beverages.
24
U.S. Snacks includes products such as cookies, crackers, cereal bars, savory snacks and fruit-flavored snacks.
U.S. Specialty includes the food service, convenience and Girl Scouts businesses. The food service business is mostly non-commercial, servicing institutions such as schools and hospitals.
North America Other includes the U.S. Frozen and Canada operating segments. As these operating segments are not considered economically similar enough to aggregate with other operating segments and are immaterial for separate disclosure, they have been grouped together as a single reportable segment.
The three remaining reportable segments are based on geographic location Europe, which consists principally of European countries; Latin America, which is comprised of Central and South America and includes Mexico; and Asia Pacific, which is comprised of South Africa, Australia and other Asian and Pacific markets.
The measurement of reportable segment results is based on segment operating profit which is generally consistent with the presentation of operating profit in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Intercompany transactions between operating segments were insignificant in all periods presented.

PART IFINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business overview
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand Kellogg Company, our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in Item 1 of this report.
For more than 100 years, consumers have counted on Kellogg for great-tasting, high-quality and nutritious foods. Kellogg is the worlds leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of cookies and crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit-flavored snacks and veggie foods. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally.
We manage our operations through eight operating segments that are based on product category or geographic location. These operating segments are evaluated for similarity with regards to economic characteristics, products, production processes, types or classes of customers, distribution methods and regulatory environments to determine if they can be aggregated into reportable segments. We report results of operations in the following reportable segments: U.S. Morning Foods; U.S. Snacks; U.S. Specialty; North America Other; Europe; Latin America; and Asia Pacific. The reportable segments are discussed in greater detail in Note 10 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
We manage our Company for sustainable performance defined by our long-term annual growth targets. These targets are 3 to 4% for internal net sales, mid-single-digit (4 to 6%) for underlying internal operating profit, and high-single-digit (7 to 9%) for currency-neutral comparable diluted net earnings per share.
During 2013 we announced Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The program is expected to generate a significant amount of savings that will be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. We expect that this investment will drive future growth in revenues, gross margin, operating profit, and cash flow. See the Restructuring and cost reduction activities section for more information.
Comparability
Internal net sales growth excludes the impact of foreign currency translation and, if applicable, acquisitions, dispositions and integration costs associated with the acquisition of the Pringles® business (Pringles).
Comparability of certain financial measures is impacted significantly by two types of charges: 1) Mark-to-market adjustments that are recorded for pensions and commodity derivative contracts; and 2) Charges related to restructuring and cost reduction activities. To provide increased transparency and assist in understanding our underlying operating performance we use non-GAAP financial measures within the MD&A that exclude the impact of these charges. These non-GAAP financial measures include underlying gross margin, underlying gross profit, underlying SGA%, underlying operating margin, underlying operating profit, underlying operating profit growth, underlying income taxes, underlying effective tax rate, and underlying net income attributable to Kellogg Company.
Underlying internal operating profit growth excludes the impact of foreign currency translation and, if applicable, acquisitions, dispositions, integration costs associated with the acquisition of Pringles, mark-to-market adjustments, and charges related to restructuring and cost reduction activities.
Additionally, integration costs associated with the acquisition of Pringles are excluded from comparable basic earnings per share (EPS), comparable diluted EPS, and comparable diluted EPS growth.
Financial results
For the quarter ended June 28, 2014, our reported net sales declined by 0.8% and internal net sales declined by 1.5%. We experienced internal net sales declines in U.S. Morning Foods, U.S. Snacks, and North America Other. Internal net sales grew in Europe, U.S. Specialty, Latin America and Asia Pacific. Reported operating profit declined by 18.1%, and underlying internal operating profit declined by 7.2%. The decline in internal profit was driven by softer sales primarily in U.S. Morning Foods and U.S. Snacks, inflation in cost of goods sold, and increased investment in brand-building. This was partially offset by continued discipline overhead control.
Reported diluted EPS of $.82 for the quarter was down 14.6% compared to the prior year of $.96. Comparable diluted EPS of $1.02 for the quarter was flat to prior year.

(a) | Includes mark-to-market adjustments for pension plans and commodity contracts as reflected in cost of goods sold. Actuarial gains/losses for pension plans are recognized in the year they occur. A portion of these mark-to-market adjustments were capitalized as inventoriable cost at the end of 2013 and 2012. These amounts have been recognized in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, there were no pension mark-to-market adjustments recognized. Mark-to-market adjustments for commodities reflect the changes in the fair value of contracts for the difference between contract and market prices for the underlying commodities. The resulting gains/losses are recognized in the quarter they occur. |
(b) | Costs incurred related primarily to the execution of Project K, a global four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. The focus of the program will be to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation. The program is expected to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories. The 2013 periods presented have been recast to exclude all restructuring and cost reduction activities from underlying and comparable results. Previously, only costs associated with Project K were excluded from underlying and comparable results. |
(c) | Underlying operating profit, underlying income taxes, underlying effective income tax rate, and underlying net income attributable to Kellogg Company are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of pension and commodity mark-to-market adjustments and restructuring and cost reduction activities. We believe the use of such non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists in understanding underlying operating performance. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled directly to the comparable measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this table. |
(d) | Comparable EPS is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on pension plans and commodity contracts, the impact of Project K costs, and the impact of integration costs related to the acquisition of the Pringles business. |
