Sales Volume –
Sales volume increased due to better domestic demand for our pork products.
Average Sales Price –
Average sales price increased due to lower total hog supplies, which resulted in higher input costs.
Operating Income – Operating income increased as we maximized our revenues relative to live hog markets, partially attributable to
operational and mix performance.
Derivative Activities – Operating results included net losses of $112 million in fiscal 2014, compared to net losses of $15 million in
fiscal 2013 for commodity risk management activities related to futures contracts. These amounts exclude the impact from related
physical sale and purchase transactions, which mostly offset the commodity risk management losses.
Sales Volume –
Sales volume decreased as a result of decreased customer demand and reduced exports.
Average Sales Price – Demand for pork products improved, which drove up average sales price and livestock cost despite a slight
increase in live hog supplies.
Operating Income – While reduced compared to prior year, operating income remained strong in fiscal 2013 despite brief periods of
imbalance in industry supply and customer demand. We were able to maintain strong operating margins by maximizing our revenues
relative to the live hog markets, partially due to operational and mix performance.
Derivative Activities – Operating results included net losses of $15 million in fiscal 2013, compared to net gains of $66 million in
fiscal 2012 for commodity risk management activities related to futures contracts. These amounts exclude the impact from related
physical sale and purchase transactions, which impact current and future period operating results.
