Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures Snyders-Lances management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating
performance and to facilitate a comparison of the Companys operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to provide
measures that, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, allow for a more complete understanding of factors
and trends affecting the Companys business than GAAP measures alone. The non-GAAP measures and related comparisons should be considered in
addition to, not as a substitute for, our GAAP disclosure, as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, and
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for
providing increased transparency and assisting investors in understanding our ongoing operating performance.
