foodservice, net revenues decreased due primarily to lower volume, the impact of divestitures and lower cheese pricing,
partially offset by favorable currency. Cheese net revenues decreased due primarily to lower net pricing in response to declining
cheese costs and the impact of divestitures, partially offset by favorable currency.
Segment operating income decreased $35 million (3.8%), due primarily to higher Restructuring Program charges, lower
volume/mix (including the 53rd week in 2005), higher marketing spending and the 2006 loss on sale of industrial coconut assets,
partially offset by favorable costs (primarily cheese commodity costs), net of lower net pricing, lower fixed manufacturing costs
and favorable currency.

pricing (1.0 pp), partially offset by the impact of divestitures (1.7 pp). Net revenues increased in meat due to higher shipments
of sandwich meat, new product introductions and higher commodity-based net pricing, partially offset by lower shipments of
chicken strips due to a first quarter recall. In pizza, net revenues increased due to the introduction of DiGiorno Ultimate and
higher shipments of California Pizza Kitchen products. Macaroni and cheese net revenues increased due to higher net pricing,
higher volume due to base growth and favorable mix reflecting the continued success of Kraft Easy-Mac cups.

trademarks, higher commodity costs, the impact of divestitures and higher marketing, administration and research costs

mix and higher pricing.
