Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

Exhibit 99.2

As previously announced, on December 18, 2017, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Soup Company (Campbell) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and among Campbell, Twist Merger Sub, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Campbell (Merger Sub), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. (▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇) pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ (the Merger), with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Campbell.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the (i) historical consolidated financial statements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 30, 2017 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended January 28, 2018; and (ii) the audited consolidated financial statements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ as of and for the year ended December 30, 2017 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended July 1, 2017 (which is not included or incorporated by reference herein). The unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings and balance sheet give effect to the acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and related anticipated financing (together, the Transactions) as if the Transactions occurred on August 1, 2016 for statement of earnings purposes and on January 28, 2018 for balance sheet purposes.

Campbell's fiscal year ended on July 30, 2017 and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ fiscal year ended on December 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of earnings for the six months ended January 28, 2018 combines Campbell’s six months ended January 28, 2018 with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇’▇ six months ended December 30, 2017; the unaudited pro forma combined statement of earnings for the year ended July 30, 2017 combines Campbell’s year ended July 30, 2017 with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇’▇ twelve months ended July 1, 2017. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ six months ended December 30, 2017 statement of earnings was derived from its year ended December 30, 2017 results, adjusted to exclude the six months ended July 1, 2017. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ twelve months ended July 1, 2017 statement of earnings was derived from its year ended December 31, 2016 results, adjusted to include the six months ended July 1, 2017, and adjusted to exclude the six months ended July 2, 2016. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet information combines Campbell's interim unaudited January 28, 2018 balance sheet with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ year ended December 30, 2017 balance sheet.

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Transactions, are factually supportable and, for purposes of the pro forma statements of earnings, are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operation or financial condition had the Transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any integration costs or savings that may be realized from the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future results of operations or financial position of the combined company. The acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ will be accounted for as a business combination, and will reflect the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and information available as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Certain valuations and assessments, including valuations of the inventories, plant assets, other intangible assets as well as the assessment of the tax positions and rates of the combined business, are in process and will not be completed until subsequent to the close of the proposed acquisition. Additionally, the consideration for the transaction in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on shares, equity awards and debt outstanding as of a date recent to this filing, which may differ from shares, equity awards, and debt outstanding at the date of the close of the acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇. The debt that is anticipated to be incurred to finance the acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ is included in the unaudited pro forma financial information reflecting the terms and rates Campbell expects to achieve based on current market rates. The actual financing and terms of the financing will be subject to market conditions. Actual adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and the differences may be material.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

(millions, except per share amounts)

1. Basis of Presentation

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ adopted revised guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that changes the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. Under the revised guidance, the service cost component of benefit cost is classified in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost (such as interest expense, return on assets, amortization of prior service credit, actuarial gains and losses, settlements and curtailments) are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component. The retrospective impact of presenting net periodic benefit cost in accordance with the new guidance is shown in the reclassification of benefit costs column on the statement of earnings for the year ended July 30, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operation or financial condition had the Transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any integration costs or savings that may be realized from the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future results of operations or financial position of the combined company. The acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ will be accounted for as a business combination, and will reflect the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and information available as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Certain valuations and assessments, including valuations of the inventories, plant assets, other intangible assets as well as the assessment of the tax positions and rates of the combined business, are in process and will not be completed until subsequent to the close of the proposed acquisition. Additionally, the consideration for the transaction in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on shares, equity awards and debt outstanding as of a date recent to this filing, which may differ from shares, equity awards, and debt outstanding at the date of the close of the acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇. The debt that is anticipated to be incurred to finance the acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ is included in the unaudited pro forma financial information reflecting the terms and rates Campbell expects to achieve based on current market rates. The actual financing and terms of the financing will be subject to market conditions. Actual adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, and the differences may be material.

Campbell has not identified any differences between the accounting policies of Campbell and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ that would have a material impact on the pro forma financial information. A full assessment of such policy differences will not be completed until subsequent to the close of the Transactions, and actual policy differences may be material.

Certain amounts for ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ have been reclassified to conform to the Campbell current financial statement presentation as further discussed in Note 3.

2. Transaction and Estimated Purchase Consideration

The acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ will be accounted for as a business combination, and will reflect the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects the acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ for an estimated purchase price of $6,067, which is derived as follows:



Cash consideration to be paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ shareholders (a)	$	4,904
Cash consideration to be paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ equity award holders (b)	79
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ debt to be repaid (c)	1,084
Total consideration	$	6,067


(a)	Cash consideration to be paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ shareholders reflects $50.00 per outstanding ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ share based on 98,073,282 of outstanding shares as of February 15, 2018.


(b)	Cash consideration to be paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ equity award holders reflects the consideration for outstanding equity awards as of February 15, 2018, consisting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units.


(c)	Reflects ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ debt and related accrued interest outstanding as of December 30, 2017 that is expected to be paid in conjunction with the closing of the acquisition of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇.

The acquisition will be funded through the issuance of a senior unsecured term loan and senior unsecured notes described further in Note 5(d).

The estimated purchase price allocation is based on preliminary estimates of fair value as follows:



Current assets	$	528
Valuation of property, plant and equipment	685
Valuation of intangible assets	2,946
Residual goodwill	2,912
Other assets	63
Current liabilities	(306		)
Non-current liabilities	(729		)
Noncontrolling interests	(32		)
Total consideration	$	6,067

5. Pro Forma Adjustments

The following items resulted in adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information:


(a)	Plant assets - Reflects adjustment to the fair value of plant assets to reflect the preliminary results of ongoing appraisals as follows:



	Useful Life	Fair Value
Land	N/A	$	55
Land improvements	2 - 19 Years	16
Leasehold interests	1 - 14 Years	11
Buildings	2 - 41 Years	216
Machinery and equipment	1 - 18 Years	370
Projects in progress	N/A	17
Total Plant assets		$	685

Historical depreciation expense of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ was $34 and $71 in the six months ended January 28, 2018 and in the year ended July 30, 2017, respectively. Depreciation expense on a straight-line basis using the asset lives reflected in the table above is $35 and $73 in the six months ended January 28, 2018 and in the year ended July 30, 2017, respectively. As a result, depreciation expense is increased by $1 and $2 (in Cost of products sold) in the six months ended January 28, 2018 and in the year ended July 30, 2017, respectively.


(b)	Other intangible assets - Reflects adjustment to the fair value of other intangible assets to reflect the preliminary results of ongoing appraisals as follows:



	Type	Useful Life	Fair Value
Trademarks	Non-amortizable	Indefinite	$	2,131
Customer relationships	Amortizable	15-22 Years	809
Non-compete agreement	Amortizable	1.5 Years	6
Total Intangible assets			$	2,946

Amortization expense, recorded in Other expenses / (income), is increased by $9 and $17 in the six months ended January 28, 2018 and the year ended July 30, 2017, respectively, to reflect amortization using the asset lives reflected in the table above.

(c)

Other expenses - Reflects adjustments to exclude $14 of acquisition costs recognized in the six months ended January 28, 2018 (of which $12 incurred by Campbell and $2 incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇), and to exclude $12 of expenses incurred related to the bridge financing which is expected to remain undrawn, as such costs are not expected to have a continuing impact on our results.

(d)

Debt and interest expense - The purchase price is expected to be funded by the incurrence of new debt, including a three-year, $900 senior unsecured term loan with a variable rate and $5,300 of senior unsecured notes with a combination of fixed and variable interest rates and maturities ranging from 2 - 30 years. The weighted-average interest rate on the senior unsecured term loan and senior unsecured notes as of the issuance is expected to be 3.6%, based upon current market interest rates as of February 15, 2018 and results in $111 and $221 of stated interest expense in the six months ended January 28, 2018 and the year ended July 30, 2017, respectively. The actual financing and terms of the financing will be subject to market conditions. A 1/8% change in interest rates on the debt to be incurred as part of the Transactions would result in a change in interest expense of $8 annually.

▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ outstanding debt, including its revolving credit facility and senior unsecured term loans, will be paid at the closing date for $1,084 (short- and long-term debt of $49 and $1,035, respectively) based on outstanding balances as of December 30, 2017. Accrued interest related to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ outstanding debt is not material. Interest expense is reduced by $21 and $37 in the six months ended January 28, 2018 and the year ended July 30, 2017, respectively, to reflect the elimination of interest expense on ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ debt.

(e)

Debt issuance costs - Underwriting and professional fees to be incurred in conjunction with the debt issuance to fund the acquisition are expected to be $41, of which $39 will be incurred and deferred at the time of debt issuance, and $2 was previously incurred and deferred in Other current assets. Deferred financing costs are reflected as a component of long-term debt. Amortization of $3 and $6 in the six months ended January 28, 2018 and the year ended July 30, 2017, respectively, is reflected in interest expense related to these costs. Additionally, purchase accounting adjustments include the write-off of $9 of deferred financing costs related to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ debt that will be settled in conjunction with the close of the Transactions.

(f)

Income taxes - Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments related to the acquisition calculated using historical statutory tax rates by jurisdiction, resulting in blended statutory tax rates (inclusive of state taxes) of 29.87% for the six months ended January 28, 2018, and 36.36% for the year ended July 30, 2017. The income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act), which was enacted in the United States on December 22, 2017, are presented as recorded by the separate companies and have not been re-determined on a combined basis. The provisions of the Act are expected to reduce the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of the combined group to 27% for the fiscal year ending in 2018, and to 21% for the fiscal year ending in 2019 and thereafter. In addition,the state apportioned statutory tax rate could change for the group on a combined basis.


(g)	Cash and cash equivalents - Reflects consideration paid of $6,067, financed by a new debt incurred of $6,200 and the anticipated settlement of interest rate swaps of $13 associated with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ debt to be repaid, offset by financing costs on debt incurred of $39.


(h)	Inventories - Reflects adjustment to the fair value of acquired inventory. This adjustment is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of earnings because it does not have a continuing impact based upon expected inventory turnover.


(i)	Other current assets - Reflects the write-off of the $9 prepaid loan commitment fee related to the bridge financing that is assumed to remain unused in the pro forma financial information, and the reclassification of the $2 senior unsecured term loan commitment fee to long-term debt.


(j)	Goodwill - Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets to be acquired, is $2,912. This allocation is based on preliminary estimates. The final allocation may differ materially from this estimate as changes to the initial valuation of assets and liabilities will be allocated to goodwill.


(k)	Other assets - Reflects the adjustment of certain equity method investments of $4 to fair value and the anticipated settlement of interest rate swaps of $13 associated with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇-▇▇▇▇▇ debt to be repaid.

(l)

Accrued liabilities - Reflects the accrual of acquisition expenses of $74 that will be incurred at the close of the Transactions, of which $18 (tax benefit of $3 reflected in Accrued income taxes and $15 after tax reflected in Earnings retained in the business) will be incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and $56 will be assumed from ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇, and the elimination of $1 of deferred rent as result of the application of acquisition accounting.

(m)

Deferred taxes - Reflects the preliminary adjustment to record deferred tax assets and liabilities in connection with the fair value adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The estimated increase in deferred tax liabilities of $463 was primarily determined based on the excess of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed as compared to the tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The historical statutory tax rates were applied, as appropriate, to each adjustment based on the jurisdiction to which the adjustment relates. This estimate of deferred tax assets and liabilities is preliminary and is subject to change based upon management’s final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by jurisdiction. Additional changes to deferred taxes may include, but are not limited to, changes in Campbell's assessment as to the realizability of deferred tax assets as a result of the combination, impacts to the statutory tax rates applied as a result of the combination, etc. Further, the deferred income tax effects of the Act are presented as recorded by the separate companies and have not been re-determined on a combined basis.


(n)	Other liabilities - Reflects the elimination of $4 of non-current deferred rent as a result of the application of acquisition accounting.


(o)	▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇ equity - Reflects elimination of historical equity and retained earnings accounts of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇-▇▇▇▇▇.


(p)	Noncontrolling interests - Reflects the adjustment of noncontrolling interest to fair value.
