Kellogg Reaffirms Full-Year Currency-Neutral Comparable 2015 Guidance

The company reaffirmed previous guidance for currency-neutral comparable net sales, operating profit, and earnings per share in 2015; the company also reaffirmed guidance for full-year cash flow. Currency-neutral comparable net sales are expected to remain approximately unchanged year-over-year. Kellogg expects full-year 2015 currency-neutral comparable operating profit to decrease at a rate between two and four percent. Full-year 2015 currency-neutral comparable earnings per share are anticipated to be in a range between two percent lower and approximately unchanged. The estimates for currency-neutral comparable operating profit and currency-neutral comparable earnings per share include a negative impact of between three and four percentage points from the rebasing of incentive compensation for 2015. Guidance for both operating profit and earnings per share excludes the impact of mark-to-market adjustments, 2014's 53rd week, integration costs, costs related to Project K, acquisitions, dispositions, foreign-currency translation, and other items that could affect comparability. Cash flow is expected to be approximately $1.0 billion, which includes the cash required by Project K.
