1.	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

In this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise stated, the terms "we," "us," "our" and the "company" refer to Campbell Soup Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and entities in which we maintain a controlling financial interest and a variable interest entity (VIE) for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. See Note 3 for a discussion of Discontinued Operations. Certain amounts in prior-year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.

The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the indicated periods. The accounting policies we used in preparing these financial statements are substantially consistent with those we applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 29, 2018, except as described below and in Note 2.

The results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest July 31, which is July 28, 2019.

Revenue Recognition - Our revenues primarily consist of the sale of food and beverage products through our own sales force and/or third-party brokers and distribution partners. Revenues are recognized when our performance obligation has been satisfied and control of the product passes to our customers, which typically occurs when products are delivered or accepted by customers in accordance with terms of agreements. We make shipments promptly after acceptance of orders. Shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver the product are recorded within Cost of products sold. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as Accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and require payment on a short-term basis. Revenues are recognized net of provisions for returns, discounts and certain sales promotion expenses, such as feature price discounts, in-store display incentives, cooperative advertising programs, new product introduction fees and coupon redemption costs. These forms of variable consideration are recognized upon sale. The recognition of costs for promotion programs involves the use of judgment related to performance and redemption estimates. Estimates are made based on historical experience and other factors, including expected volume. Historically, the difference between actual experience compared to estimated redemptions and performance has not been significant to the quarterly or annual financial statements. Differences between estimates and actual costs are recognized as a change in estimate in a subsequent period. Revenues are presented on a net basis for arrangements under which suppliers perform certain additional services. See Note 7 for additional information on disaggregation of revenue. In 2019, we adopted revised guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. See Note 2 for additional information.


2.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures. The guidance was originally effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue guidance by one year to fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities were permitted to adopt the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date. The guidance permits the use of either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. We completed the review of our arrangements with customers across our businesses, including our practices of offering rebates, refunds, discounts and other price allowances, and trade and consumer promotion programs. As we evaluated our methods of estimating the amount and timing of these various forms of variable consideration, we determined we will accelerate the expense recognition of certain trade and consumer promotion programs under the new guidance. Based on our assessment, the impact is not expected to be material on an annual basis, but will impact quarterly results. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective method and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $8, net of tax, to decrease the opening balance of Earnings retained in the business, an increase of $10 to Accrued liabilities, an increase of $1 to Accounts payable, a decrease of $2 to Deferred taxes and an increase of $1 to Other assets.

The impacts of the changes to our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 28, 2019, as a result of adoption are as follows:



	As Reported		Balances Without Adoption		Increase/(Decrease) Due to Adoption

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that amends the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The changes primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the new guidance, equity investments in unconsolidated entities that are not accounted for under the equity method will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. When the fair value option has been elected for financial liabilities, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and

interim periods within those years. In 2019, we adopted the guidance. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable. In 2019, we adopted the guidance. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance on tax accounting for intra-entity asset transfers. Under current guidance, the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers (intercompany sales) are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recognized. The new guidance requires companies to account for the income tax effects on intercompany transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted in the first interim period of a fiscal year. The modified retrospective approach is required upon adoption, with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. In 2019, we adopted the guidance. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that revises the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. If it is not met, the entity then evaluates whether the set meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Beginning in 2019, we will prospectively apply the guidance to applicable transactions.

In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We will apply the guidance in evaluating future changes to terms or conditions of share-based payment awards.

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides entities an option to reclassify the stranded tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Entities are able to early adopt the guidance in any interim or annual period for which financial statements have not yet been issued and apply it either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 related to items in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2019, effective on July 30, 2018, and elected not to reclassify prior periods. The adoption resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $9 to decrease the opening balance of Earnings retained in the business and a corresponding net decrease to the components of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 5 for additional information.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that amends accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will recognize assets and liabilities for most leases but will recognize expenses similar to current lease accounting. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued an adoption approach that allows entities to apply the new guidance at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating prior periods. We are currently compiling an inventory of our lease arrangements in order to determine the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. We have selected a lease software solution to facilitate the adoption of the new guidance.

In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance that amends hedge accounting. Under the new guidance, more hedging strategies will be eligible for hedge accounting and the application of hedge accounting is simplified. The new guidance amends presentation and disclosure requirements, and how effectiveness is assessed. In October 2018, the FASB issued guidance which permits an entity to designate the overnight index swap rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate Fed Funds as a benchmark interest rate in a hedge accounting relationship. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that changes the disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Certain disclosures in the guidance must be applied on a retrospective basis, while others must be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities have the option to apply the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.


3.	Discontinued Operations

On August 30, 2018, we announced plans to pursue the divestiture of businesses within two operating segments: our international biscuits and snacks operating segment, which includes Arnott’s, Kelsen and our operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Japan; and the Campbell Fresh operating segment, which includes Bolthouse Farms, Garden Fresh Gourmet and the U.S. refrigerated soup business.

On February 25, 2019, we sold our U.S refrigerated soup business and on April 25, 2019, we sold our Garden Fresh Gourmet business. Proceeds were approximately $55, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. On April 12, 2019, we signed a definitive agreement for the sale of Bolthouse Farms to an affiliate of Butterfly Equity for $510, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. We expect to complete the sale in the fourth quarter of 2019. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, we have reflected the results of these businesses as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented.

Results of discontinued operations were as follows:



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	April 28, 2019			April 29, 2018			April 28, 2019			April 29, 2018
Net sales	$	210		$	247		$	666		$	723

Loss from discontinued operations	$	(47	)	$	(466	)	$	(331	)	$	(523	)

In the second quarter of 2019, we performed interim impairment assessments on the intangible and tangible assets of the businesses. We revised our future outlook for earnings and cash flows for each of these businesses as the divestiture process progressed and we received initial indications of value. Within Bolthouse Farms carrot and carrot ingredients, we recorded impairment charges of $18 on the trademark, $40 on customer relationships, $15 on technology and $104 on plant assets. Within Bolthouse Farms refrigerated beverages and salad dressings, we recorded impairment charges of $74 on the trademark, $22 on customer relationships, and $9 on plant assets. On Garden Fresh Gourmet, we recorded impairment charges of $23 on the trademark, $39 on customer relationships, and $2 on plant assets. In the first quarter of 2019, we recorded an impairment charge of $14 on the U.S refrigerated soup plant assets.

In the third quarter of 2019, we incurred pre-tax expenses of $24 associated with the sale process of the businesses in Campbell Fresh, including losses on the sale of the U.S. refrigerated soup business and Garden Fresh Gourmet of $15. Year-to-date in 2019, we incurred pre-tax expenses of $31 associated with the sale process of the businesses, including losses on the sale of the U.S. refrigerated soup business and Garden Fresh Gourmet of $18. In addition, due to the pending sale of Bolthouse Farms, we recorded tax expense of $29 in the three- and nine-month periods ended April 28, 2019, as deferred tax assets are not realizable.

The assets and liabilities of Bolthouse Farms have been reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of April 28, 2019, and July 29, 2018. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the Garden Fresh Gourmet business and our U.S refrigerated soup business, which were sold in the current-year quarter, have been reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of July 29, 2018.

4.	Acquisitions

On March 26, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Snyder's-Lance, Inc. (Snyder's-Lance) for $50.00 per share. Total consideration was $6,112, which included the payoff of approximately $1,100 of Snyder's-Lance indebtedness. The acquisition was financed through a single draw 3-year senior unsecured term loan facility and the issuance of senior notes. Snyder's-Lance is a snack food company that manufactures, distributes, markets and sells snack food products in North America and Europe. Its primary brands include Snyder’s of Hanover and Lance, as well as Kettle Brand, KETTLE, Cape Cod, Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps, Pop Secret, Emerald and Late July.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of identifiable net assets was recorded as $3,006 of goodwill. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was primarily attributable to future growth opportunities, anticipated synergies, and intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is included in the Global Biscuits and Snacks segment.

On December 12, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Pacific Foods of Oregon, LLC (Pacific Foods). The purchase price was $688. Pacific Foods produces broth, soups, non-dairy beverages and other simple meals. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of identifiable net assets was recorded as $202 of goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was primarily attributable to future growth opportunities, anticipated synergies, and intangible assets that did not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is included in the Meals and Beverages segment.

The table below presents the fair value that was allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Snyder's-Lance. In the first quarter ended October 28, 2018, we made measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances in existence as of the date of acquisition. These adjustments included a $134 decrease to indefinite-lived trademarks, a $52 decrease to customer relationships, a $43 decrease to Deferred taxes and a $140 increase to Goodwill.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended April 28, 2019, the acquisition of Snyder's-Lance contributed $532 and $1,615 to Net sales. The contribution to Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations were losses of $9 and $26 for the three- and nine-month periods ended April 28, 2019, including expenses associated with restructuring charges and cost savings initiatives, as well as interest expense on the debt to finance the acquisition.

We recognized transaction costs and integration costs of $64 and $88, associated with the Snyder's-Lance acquisition in the three- and nine-month periods ended April 29, 2018, respectively. Approximately $29 in the three-month period and $53 in the nine-month period represented transactions costs, including bridge financing costs and outside advisory costs, and were recorded in Other expenses / (income). Integration costs in the three- and nine-month periods included the following:


•	amortization of most of the acquisition date fair value adjustment to inventories of $37 that was recorded in Cost of products sold;


•	$10 of Restructuring charges;


•	$6 of Administrative expenses; and


•	$18 gain in Interest expense on treasury rate lock contracts used to hedge the planned financing of the acquisition.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended April 29, 2018, the contribution of the Snyder's-Lance acquisition to Net sales was $207. The contribution to Net earnings (loss) was a loss of $52 for the three-month period ended April 29, 2018, including the effect of the transaction and integration costs, and interest expense on the debt to finance the acquisition.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended April 28, 2019, the acquisition of Pacific Foods contributed $55 and $182 to Net sales. The contribution to Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations were losses of $4 and $7 for the three- and nine-month periods ended April 28, 2019, including interest expense on the debt to finance the acquisition. For the nine-month period ended April 29, 2018, the contribution of the Pacific Foods acquisition to Net sales was $83. The contribution to Net earnings was not material.

The following unaudited summary information is presented on a consolidated pro forma basis as if the Snyder's-Lance and Pacific Foods acquisitions had occurred on August 1, 2016:



	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	April 29, 2018		April 29, 2018
Net sales	$	2,201	$	7,280
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to Campbell Soup Company	$	98	$	795
Earnings from continuing operations per share attributable to Campbell Soup Company - basic	$	.33	$	2.64
Earnings from continuing operations per share attributable to Campbell Soup Company - assuming dilution	$	.33	$	2.63

The pro forma amounts include additional interest expense on the debt issued to finance the purchases, amortization and depreciation expense based on the estimated fair value and useful lives of intangible assets and plant assets, and related tax effects. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the combined results had the Snyder's-Lance and Pacific Foods acquisitions been completed on August 1, 2016, nor are they indicative of future combined results. The pro forma results for the three- and nine-month periods ended April 29, 2018 do not include certain transaction costs, amortization of the acquisition date fair value adjustment to inventories, or a gain on treasury rate lock contracts, as all of these would be reflected in the nine-month period ended April 30, 2017, had the acquisitions occurred on August 1, 2016.

With the acquisition of Snyder's-Lance, we acquired an investment in Yellow Chips Holdings B.V. (Yellow Chips), and accounted for the investment under the equity method of accounting. On October 30, 2018, we purchased the remaining ownership interest in Yellow Chips, and began consolidating the business. The purchase price was $18. The pro forma results for the nine-month period ended April 28, 2019 and the three- and nine-month periods ended April 29, 2018 were not material.
