Cumulative Total Return
9/30/06 9/30/07 9/30/08 9/30/09 9/30/10 9/30/11
Ruddick Corporation 100.00 130.77 128.25 107.28 141.97 161.76

* $100 invested on 9/30/06 in stock or index, including reinvestment of dividends.
** The Company historically has utilized two indices, rather than a single index, for its peer group comparison: Standard
& Poor’s Food Retail Index and Standard & Poor’s Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods Index. The Company
believes that the separate presentation of these indices more accurately corresponds to the Company’s current business
and historical thread manufacturing business. As previously noted, the Company sold all of its ownership interest in
A&E, its thread manufacturing business, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2011.
