Specialty Foods segment profit decreased 33.7 percent for  the fourth quarter and increased 7.0 percent for the year  compared to fiscal 2012. Declines in the fourth quarter were  driven by the expiration of the sugar substitute agreement  noted above. High protein raw material costs negatively  impacted results in the fourth quarter and fiscal year. The  favorable results for fiscal year 2013 were driven by efforts to  diversify the customer base and a favorable product mix for  CFI, improved margins in Hormel Health Labs, and stronger  ingredient sales for HSP. Segment profit for Refrigerated Foods increased 29.9 percent  in the fourth quarter and 1.8 percent for the year, compared  to fiscal 2012. Pork operating margins in the fourth quarter  improved compared to the challenging operating environ- ment in fiscal 2012, offsetting unseasonably high hog costs.  Additionally, retail bacon pricing actions taken during the third  quarter drove improved margins toward the end of fiscal 2013. Jennie-O Turkey Store:  Jennie-O Turkey Store (JOTS) net  sales for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and year increased  7.1 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively, compared to fiscal  2012. Tonnage increased 7.8 percent for the fourth quarter  and 1.3 percent for the year, compared to fiscal 2012 results.  JOTS value-added products continued to deliver sales gains  throughout the fourth quarter and fiscal year. Retail sales of  Jennie-O ®  fresh turkey chubs, turkey breakfast sausage, and  turkey bacon were robust, while  Jennie-O ®  fresh turkey tray  pack sales were down during the fourth quarter. Total harvest  volume increased during the fourth quarter compared to fiscal  2012, after intentional reductions were taken earlier in the  year to reduce the segment’s exposure to weak commodity  meat pricing. International & Other:  International & Other net sales  increased 37.9 percent for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and  23.3 percent for the year compared to fiscal 2012. Strong  export sales of the  SPAM ®  family of products and improved  performance by the Company’s China operations were the  principal drivers of the top-line results for both the fourth  quarter and fiscal year. The addition of worldwide  SKIPPY ® product sales (excluding Mainland China) also enhanced top- line results, contributing $17.5 million of net sales and 9.3  million lbs. in the fourth quarter and $51.0 million of net sales  and 26.4 million lbs. for fiscal 2013. Segment profit for JOTS increased 25.5 percent for the fourth  quarter and decreased 6.8 percent for the year, compared  to fiscal 2012. Significantly higher grain costs and lower  commodity turkey meat prices during the first half of the  year resulted in lower earnings for fiscal 2013, partially offset  by operational efficiencies and continued momentum from  value-added business. Fourth quarter results were also driven  by continued growth in value-added sales, along with perfor- mance gains and expense reductions in operations, live pro- duction and supply chain, which were able to offset the impact  of market conditions as the fiscal year ended. Reductions in  advertising expense also provided lower expenses for this  segment for both the 2013 fourth quarter and fiscal year. International & Other segment profit increased 82.0 percent  and 43.3 percent for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and year,  respectively, compared to fiscal 2012. Segment profit gains for  the fourth quarter and fiscal year were largely driven by robust  margins on exports of the  SPAM ®  family of products and fresh  pork items. Improved overall results for the Company’s inter- national joint ventures also provided a benefit for fiscal 2013. Unallocated Income and Expenses:  The Company does not  allocate investment income, interest expense, and interest  income to its segments when measuring performance. The  Company also retains various other income and unallocated  expenses at corporate. Equity in earnings of affiliates is  included in segment operating profit; however, earnings  attributable to the Company’s noncontrolling interests are  excluded. These items are included in the segment table for  the purpose of reconciling segment results to earnings before  income taxes. Specialty Foods:  Specialty Foods net sales decreased 14.1  percent for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and increased  0.9 percent for the year compared to fiscal 2012. Tonnage  decreased 8.3 percent for the quarter and 2.0 percent for the  year, compared to fiscal 2012 results. Sales declines at DCB  drove the top-line decreases for both the 2013 quarter and fis- cal year, due to the expiration of the agreement allowing DCB  to sell certain sugar substitutes in foodservice trade channels.  Softer sugar and liquid portion sales also contributed to the  year-over-year decline. CFI experienced sales declines in the  fourth quarter in the nutritional category, which was partially  offset by higher ready-to-drink sales. For the fiscal year,  ready-to-drink and nutritional sales drove the year-over-year  sales increase. HSP posted sales gains in canned meats in the  fourth quarter and fiscal year. Net interest and investment expense (income) for the fourth  quarter and fiscal year was a net expense of $0.6 million and  $7.5 million, respectively, compared to a net expense of $1.4  million and $6.3 million for the comparable periods of fiscal  2012. The decreased expense for the fourth quarter is primar- ily due to better returns on the Company’s rabbi trust. For the  year, increased net expense primarily reflects lower interest  income, as the acquisition of the U.S. based  SKIPPY ®  peanut  butter business decreased invested funds in fiscal 2013.  Interest expense was $12.5 million for fiscal 2013, decreasing  slightly from $12.9 million in fiscal 2012. 24
