Entering the second quarter, the company had expected TreeHouse Foods’ businesses to contribute approximately $0.09 per share to expected adjusted earnings of between $0.54 and $0.56 per share in the second quarter. To reflect the spin-off, which is expected to be completed on or around 27 June 2005, Dean Foods has removed the $0.09 per share attributable to TreeHouse Foods’ businesses from its expectations for the second quarter.


Additionally, due to strength in its dairy group and WhiteWave Foods operations in the second quarter, expectations for adjusted earnings from continuing operations for the quarter have been increased by $0.05 to a revised range of $0.50 to $0.52 per share.
