Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the quarter ended March 30, 2002 (unaudited)
Note 1 Accounting policies
The unaudited interim financial information included in this report reflects normal recurring adjustments that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes contained on pages 27 to 43 of the Companys 2001 Annual Report. The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are the same as those summarized in the Companys 2001 Annual Report, except as discussed below. Certain amounts for 2001 have been reclassified to conform to current-period classifications. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
Interim reporting periods
Historically, the Company has reported interim periods on a calendar-quarter
basis. Certain business units within the Company have followed a thirteen week
quarter convention, commonly referred to as 4-4-5 because of the number of
weeks in each sub-period of the quarter. In order to facilitate conversion to
SAP software and to achieve greater consistency and efficiency, all business
units of the Company are reporting interim results on a 4-4-5 basis beginning
in 2002. Because prior-year results have not been restated, year-over-year
comparability of quarterly results could be significantly impacted, due
principally to the change in reporting dates for the Keebler business. Keeblers
2001 interim results were reported for the periods ended March 24, June 16,
October 6, and December 29; whereas, 2002 interim results are being reported for
the periods ended March 30, June 29, September 28, and December 28. Guidance
will be provided within Managements Discussion and Analysis regarding any
significant impact of this reporting change on year-over-year comparisons.
Classification of promotional expenditures
Beginning January 1, 2002, the Company has applied the consensus reached by the
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB in Issue No. 01-09 Accounting for
Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendors
Products. Under this consensus, generally, cash consideration is to be
classified as a reduction of revenue, unless specific criteria are met regarding
goods or services that the vendor may receive in return for this consideration.
Non-cash consideration is to be classified as a cost of sales.
As a result of applying this consensus, the Company has reclassified promotional payments to its customers and the cost of consumer coupons and other cash redemption offers from selling, general, and administrative expense (SGA) to net sales. The Company has reclassified the cost of promotional package inserts and other non-cash consideration from SGA to cost of goods sold. Prior-period financial statements have been reclassified to comply with this guidance.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets on January 1, 2002. This standard
provides accounting and disclosure guidance for acquired intangibles. Under this
standard, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are no longer amortized,
but are tested at least annually for impairment. If the asset is determined to
be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized within the Companys
operating profit to reduce carrying value to fair value. Transitional impairment
tests of goodwill and non-amortized intangibles are also performed upon adoption
of SFAS No. 142, with any recognized impairment loss reported as the cumulative
effect of an accounting change in the first period of adoption. The Company has
completed these transitional tests and was not required to recognize any
impairment losses.
SFAS No. 142 also provides separability criteria for recognizing intangible assets apart from goodwill. Under these provisions, assembled workforce is no longer considered a separate intangible. Accordingly, for the quarter ended March 30, 2002, the Company has reclassified approximately $46 million from other intangibles
5
to goodwill on the balance sheet. Refer to Note 7 for further information on the Companys goodwill and other intangible assets.
The provisions of SFAS No. 142 are adopted prospectively and prior-period financial statements are not restated. Comparative earnings information for prior periods is presented in the following table:

Accounting for long-lived assets
The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets on January 1, 2002. This standard is
generally effective for the Company on a prospective basis.
SFAS No. 144 clarifies and revises existing guidance on accounting for impairment of plant, property, and equipment, amortized intangibles, and other long-lived assets not specifically addressed in other accounting literature. Significant changes include 1) establishing criteria beyond those previously specified in existing literature for determining when a long-lived asset is held for sale, and 2) requiring that the depreciable life of a long-lived asset to be abandoned is revised. These provisions could be expected to have the general effect of reducing or delaying recognition of future impairment losses on assets to be disposed, offset by higher depreciation expense during the remaining holding period. However, management does not expect the adoption of this Standard to have a significant impact on the Companys 2002 financial results. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include a component of an entity (rather than only a segment of a business).
Note 2 Keebler Acquisition
On March 26, 2001, the Company acquired Keebler Foods Company (Keebler) in a cash transaction valued at $4.56 billion. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and was financed through a combination of short-term and long-term debt.
The components of intangible assets included in the final allocation of purchase price are presented in the following table. During 2001, these intangibles were amortized based on an estimated useful life of 40 years. As a result of the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 (refer to Note 1), these intangibles are no longer amortized after 2001, but are subject to annual impairment reviews.

The final purchase price allocation includes $80.1 million of liabilities related to managements plans, as of the acquisition date, to exit certain activities and operations of the acquired company, as presented in the table below. Cash outlays related to these exit plans were $28 million in 2001 and are projected to be approximately $38 million in 2002, with the remaining amounts spent principally during 2003.

Managements exit plans are being announced as individual initiatives are implemented. Recently announced exit plans include disposal of a portion of Keeblers private-label business and closure of various shipping centers as the Kellogg and Keebler logistics systems are integrated. During April 2002, the Company sold certain assets of its Bake-Line private-label unit, including a bakery in Marietta, Oklahoma, to Atlantic Baking Group, Inc for approximately $65 million in cash and a $10 million note to be paid at a later date. The carrying value of net assets sold, including allocated goodwill, approximated the net sales proceeds.
The following table includes the unaudited pro forma combined results as if the Company had acquired Keebler as of the beginning of 2001, instead of on March 26, 2001:

These pro forma results have been restated to reflect the retroactive application of EITF No. 01-09 (refer to Note 1), and include amortization of the intangibles presented above and interest expense on debt assumed issued to finance the purchase. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of 2001, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.
Note 3 Restructuring and other charges
Operating profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, includes restructuring charges of $48.3 million ($30.3 million after tax or $.07 per share), related to preparing Kellogg for the Keebler integration and continued actions supporting the Companys focus and align strategy in the United States and Asia. Approximately 70% of the charges were comprised of asset write-offs, with the remainder consisting of employee severance and other cash costs. At December 31, 2001, remaining reserves for cash expenditures related to all of the Companys prior-years restructuring initiatives were approximately $10 million (refer to page 34 of the Companys 2001 Annual Report for further information), which are expected to be spent during 2002.
Net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, include an extraordinary loss of $7.4 million, net of tax benefit of $4.2 million, ($.02 per share) related to the extinguishment of $400 million of long-term debt.
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company reported a charge to earnings of $1.0 million, net of tax benefit of $.6 million, and a charge to other comprehensive income of $14.9 million, net of tax benefit of $8.6 million, in order to recognize the fair value of derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet.
Note 4 Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net includes non-operating items such as interest
income, foreign exchange gains and losses, charitable donations, and gains on
assets sales. Other income (expense), net for the quarter ended March 30, 2002,
includes a $16.5 million credit ($10.2 million after tax or $.02 per share),
related to legal settlements.

Note 5 Equity
Earnings per share
Basic net earnings per share is determined by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
net 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 are comprised principally of employee stock options
issued by the Company. Basic net earnings per share is reconciled to diluted net
earnings per share as follows:

Note 6 Operating segments
Kellogg Company is the worlds leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenience foods, including cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal bars, frozen waffles, meat alternatives, pie crusts, and ice cream cones. Kellogg products are manufactured in 19 countries and marketed in more than 160 countries around the world. Principal markets for these products include the United States and United Kingdom.
9
The Company is managed in two major divisions the United States and International with International further delineated into Europe, Latin America, Canada, Australia, and Asia. This organizational structure is the basis of the operating segment data presented below. During 2001, the Companys measure of operating segment profitability was defined as operating profit excluding restructuring charges and Keebler amortization expense, with operating profit determined in conformity with the presentation within the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 (refer to Note 1). Under the provisions of this standard, substantially all of the Companys amortization expense was eliminated in periods subsequent to adoption. While this standard precludes restatement of prior-period financial statements, managements measure of operating segment profitability has been restated for all prior periods to conform to the current-period presentation.

KELLOGG COMPANY
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of operations
Overview
Kellogg Company is the worlds leading producer of cereal and a leading producer
of convenience foods, including cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal
bars, frozen waffles, meat alternatives, pie crusts, and ice cream cones.
Kellogg products are manufactured in 19 countries and marketed in more than 160
countries around the world. The Company is managed in two major divisions the
United States and International with International further delineated into
Europe, Latin America, Canada, Australia, and Asia. This organizational
structure is the basis of the operating segment data presented in this report.
At the end of the first quarter of 2002, we marked one year of owning Keebler Foods Company and a period of enormous change at our company. We believe our first quarter 2002 results offer evidence of the progress we are making to restore growth in our net sales, operating profit, earnings per share, and cash flow. On a comparable basis, all of these performance measures increased versus the prior period.
The following items affect the comparability of current and prior-period results:
| On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under the provisions of this standard, substantially all of our amortization expense was eliminated in periods subsequent to adoption. While this standard precludes restatement of prior-period financial statements, managements measure of operating segment profitability has been restated for all prior periods to conform to the current-period presentation. | |
| In order to facilitate our conversion to SAP software and to achieve global consistency and efficiency, on January 1, 2002, we converted our interim reporting from a calendar-quarter system to a thirteen-week system, commonly referred to as 4-4-5 because of the number of weeks in each sub-period of the quarter. Comparability of quarterly results could be significantly impacted, due principally to the change in reporting dates for the Keebler business. Keeblers 2001 interim results were reported for the periods ended March 24, June 16, October 6, and December 29; whereas, 2002 interim results are being reported for the periods ended March 30, June 29, September 28, and December 28. | |
| First quarter 2001 operating profit included a restructuring charge related to preparing Kellogg for the Keebler acquisition and continued actions supporting our focus and align strategy. | |
| First quarter 2001 net earnings included an extraordinary loss related to extinguishment of long-term debt and a charge for the cumulative effect of an accounting change related to adoption of SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. |
Reported results are reconciled to results adjusted for these items, as follows:

Net sales and operating profit
The following table provides an analysis of net sales and operating profit
performance for the first quarter of 2002 versus 2001. Net sales for 2001 have
been restated for the retroactive application of EITF 01-09 (refer to Note 1
within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) related to the
reclassification of certain promotional expenditures from selling, general, and
administrative expense (SGA) to net sales.

Reported consolidated net sales and operating profit for the quarter increased significantly versus the prior period, due primarily to the Keebler acquisition. Assuming we had owned Keebler in the first quarter of 2001 and adjusting this period to a 4-4-5 basis, our consolidated net sales would have increased approximately 2% and U.S. segment net sales would have increased nearly 4%. Similarly, our consolidated operating profit would have increased approximately 6% and U.S. segment operating profit would have increased 16%. Within our U.S. segment, this net sales increase was largely attributable to strong retail cereal sales. Net sales from the Keebler business were approximately even with the prior year pro forma period, negatively impacted by difficult year-over-year biscuit comparisons, delayed innovation, discontinued contract manufacturing business, de-emphasis on non-core products, and sku rationalization. However, the Keebler business contributed meaningfully to the comparable growth in U.S. operating profit, benefiting from the aforementioned strategic initiatives and integration cost-savings.
Excluding Keebler results, differences in shipping days, and the impact of foreign currency movements, our internal business net sales increased 4.4% on a consolidated basis, driven by pricing and mix improvements in our U.S. retail cereal business. Total net sales for our non-U.S. segments were up nearly 1%, led by strong performances in our United Kingdom convenience food and Australian cereal markets.
Internal business operating profit increased 2.6% on a consolidated basis. Strong performance in our U.S. operating segment was partially offset by a decline of approximately 11% in non-U.S. operating profit. This decline primarily reflects increased marketing investment in core non-U.S. markets, which we believe was a
14
key factor contributing to growth in non-U.S. sales for the quarter. Additional factors reducing non-U.S. operating profit included 1) costs of a product recall and write-off of investments in a new product line in Europe, 2) business disruption due to economic volatility in Venezuela and Argentina, and 3) the costs of a headcount reduction program in Australia.
Margin performance
Margin performance for the first quarter of 2002 versus 2001 is presented in the
following table. Results for 2001 exclude restructuring charges and amortization
expense that would have been eliminated if SFAS No. 142 had been applied in the
prior year. Results for 2001 have also been restated for the retroactive
application of EITF 01-09 (refer to Note 1 within Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements) related to the reclassification of certain promotional
expenditures from selling, general, and administrative expense (SGA) to net
sales.

During the quarter, we marked a one-year trend of continued year-over-year gross margin improvement. The gross margin improvement was attributable to sales of higher-margin Keebler products, prior year cereal price increases in the United States and Europe, efforts to improve our global sales mix, and cost-savings from the Keebler integration. Despite this increase, our operating margin was down versus the prior year on an as-reported basis. This decline represents execution of our 2002 plan to increase marketing investment in core non-U.S. markets, continued heavy investment in our U.S. cereal business, and the impact of including the Keebler DSD business model in current period results. However, as presented in the table above, assuming we had owned Keebler in the first quarter of 2001 and adjusting this period to a 4-4-5 basis, our 2002 operating margin would have actually exceeded the comparable 2001 operating margin by .7 percentage points.
Interest expense
For 2002, gross interest expense, prior to amounts capitalized, increased
significantly versus the prior year, due primarily to interest expense on debt
issued late in the first quarter of 2001 to finance the Keebler acquisition.

Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net includes non-operating items such as interest
income, foreign exchange gains and losses, charitable donations, and gains on
assets sales. Other income (expense), net for the quarter ended March 30, 2002,
includes a $16.5 million credit ($10.2 million after tax or $.02 per share),
related to legal settlements.

Income taxes
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 of approximately 43%
anticipated the estimated full-year impact of the Keebler acquisition on
nondeductible goodwill and the level of U.S. tax on foreign subsidiary earnings.
As the year progressed and calculations were refined, we reduced the 2001 rate
to 40% on a full-year basis. As a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 142 on
January 1, 2002, (refer to Note 1 within Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements), goodwill amortization expense and the resulting impact on the
effective income tax rate has been eliminated in periods subsequent to
adoption. Accordingly, the first quarter 2002 effective income tax rate has been
reduced to approximately 37%, which is consistent with our expectation for the
full year.

Restructuring and other charges
Operating profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, includes restructuring
charges of $48.3 million ($30.3 million after tax or $.07 per share), related to
preparing Kellogg for the Keebler integration and continued actions supporting
the Companys focus and align strategy in the United States and Asia.
Approximately 70% of the charges were comprised of asset write-offs, with the
remainder consisting of employee severance and other cash costs. At December 31,
2001, remaining reserves for cash expenditures related to all of the Companys
prior-years restructuring initiatives were approximately $10 million (refer to
page 34 of the Companys 2001 Annual Report for further information), which are
expected to be spent during 2002.
Net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, include an extraordinary loss of $7.4 million, net of tax benefit of $4.2 million, ($.02 per share) related to the extinguishment of $400 million of long-term debt.
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company reported a charge to earnings of $1.0 million, net of tax benefit of $.6 million, and a charge to other comprehensive income of $14.9 million, net of tax benefit of $8.6 million, in order to recognize the fair value of derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet.
Keebler acquisition
On March 26, 2001, we acquired Keebler Foods Company in a cash transaction
valued at $4.56 billion. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase
method and was financed through a combination of short-term and long-term debt.
The final purchase price allocation includes $80.1 million of liabilities related to our plans, as of the acquisition date, to exit certain activities and operations of the acquired company. Cash outlays related to these exit plans were approximately $28 million in 2001 and are projected to be approximately $38 million in 2002, with the remaining amounts spent principally during 2003.
Our exit plans are being announced as individual initiatives are implemented. Recently announced exit plans include disposal of a portion of Keeblers private-label business and closure of various shipping centers as the Kellogg and Keebler logistics systems are integrated. During April 2002, the Company sold certain assets of its Bake-Line private-label unit, including a bakery in Marietta, Oklahoma, to Atlantic Baking Group, Inc for approximately $65 million in cash and a $10 million note to be paid at a later date. The carrying value of net assets sold, including allocated goodwill, approximated the net sales proceeds.
Liquidity and capital resources
For the first quarter of 2002, net cash provided by operating activities was $287.5 million, compared to $78.9 million in the prior-year period. Operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2001 was reduced by an $88 million
16
payment to settle interest rate hedges, related to debt issued to finance the Keebler acquisition. Operating cash flow for the current period exceeded the prior-period amount by $208.6 million, due primarily to this hedge settlement, $55.8 million in favorable working capital movements, and higher cash earnings. Our management of core working capital (trade receivables and inventory, less trade payables) continues to improve as a percentage of sales. For the year-ended March 30, 2002, average core working capital represented 9.3% of net sales, versus 10.7% for year-ended March 31, 2001.
Year-to-date expenditures for property additions were $32.9 million, which represented 1.6% of first quarter 2002 net sales compared with 3.7% for the full year of 2001. (The 2001 ratio has been restated for the retroactive application of EITF No. 01-09. Refer to Note 1 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information). It is our goal to maintain full-year 2002 expenditures at approximately 3% of net sales.
We expect our measure of full-year 2002 cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions) to be between the 2000 level of $650 million and the 2001 level of $856 million. Versus 2001, 2002 cash flow will be reduced in part, by cash outlays related to Keebler exit plans (refer to Keebler acquisition section), increased employee performance incentive payments, increased interest payments, and a slowing in the pace of further core working capital improvements.
Despite the substantial amount of debt incurred to finance the Keebler acquisition, we believe that we will be able to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations and maintain our debt covenants for the foreseeable future, while still meeting our operational needs through our strong cash flow, our program of issuing commercial paper, and maintaining credit facilities on a global basis.
The Companys significant long-term debt issues do not contain acceleration of maturity clauses that are dependent on credit ratings. A change in the Companys credit ratings could limit its access to the U.S. commercial paper market and/or increase the cost of refinancing long-term debt in the future. However, even under these circumstances, the Company would continue to have access to its credit facilities which are in amounts sufficient to cover the outstanding commercial paper balance and debt principal repayments through 2003.
Forward-looking statements
Our Managements Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements with projections concerning, among other things, our strategy and plans; exit plans and costs related to the Keebler acquisition; the impact of accounting changes; our ability to meet interest and debt principal repayment obligations; effective income tax rate; cash flow; property addition expenditures; and interest expense. Forward-looking statements include predictions of future results or activities and may contain the words expect, believe, will, will deliver, anticipate, project, should, or words or phrases of similar meaning. Our actual results or activities may differ materially from these predictions. In particular, future results or activities could be affected by factors related to the Keebler acquisition, including integration problems, failures to achieve savings, unanticipated liabilities, and the substantial amount of debt incurred to finance the acquisition, which could, among other things, hinder our ability to adjust rapidly to changing market conditions, make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn, and place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to less-leveraged competitors. In addition, our future results could be affected by a variety of other factors, including
| competitive conditions in our markets; | |
| marketing spending levels and pricing actions of competitors; | |
| the impact of competitive conditions, marketing spending, and/or incremental pricing actions on actual volumes and product mix; | |
| effectiveness of advertising and marketing spending or programs; | |
| the success of new product introductions; | |
| the availability of and interest rates on short-term financing; | |
| the levels of spending on systems initiatives, properties, business opportunities, integration of acquired businesses, and other general and administrative costs; | |
| commodity price and labor cost fluctuations; | |
| changes in consumer preferences; | |
| changes in U.S. or foreign regulations affecting the food industry; | |
| expenditures necessary to carry out restructuring initiatives and savings derived from these initiatives; |
17
| U.S. and foreign economic conditions, including currency rate fluctuations; and, | |
| business disruption from terrorist acts or our nations response to them. |
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update them.
