In the intertwined fates of two companies, we see a painful lesson in high finance apparent in this: Don’t expand too much too soon. If it weren’t for a little financial sleight-of-hand, ConAgra Foods and Post Holdings might be the same company at this point.
Every year there are some comings and goings, but in the past year we lost several significant companies: Big Heart Pet Brands (the former pet food business of Del Monte, sold to J.M. Smucker), Canada Bread (sold by majority-owner Maple Leaf Foods to Grupo Bimbo), Hillshire Brands (acquired by Tyson) and Michael Foods (bought by Post Holdings). New this year are B&G Foods, Gorton’s Seafood, High Liner Foods, Koch Foods, Premium Brands and Ruiz Foods. And, this will be the last time you see Heinz and Kraft listed separately.
This year, 58 of the companies reported sales increases of at least 1 percent (last year there were 63).
12 recorded decreases (last year 19);
23 had improved profits (last year 34);
29 saw profits decline (last year 19);
Seven companies had net losses, which is the biggest number of losers in at least four years (last year four reported red ink).
