COMPANY OVERVIEW

The J.M. Smucker Co.
Marketing and innovation efforts to reinvigorate company's top line
he 2018 acquisition of Ainsworth Pet Nutrition
L.L.C. was a key driver in the J.M. Smucker
Co.'s fiscal 2019 performance. The company's
other business units - U.S. Retail Coffee, U.S. Retail
Consumer Foods, and International and Away From
Home - had mixed results during the year.
The J.M. Smucker Co. posted net income of
$514.4 million, equal to $4.52 per share on the
common stock, a 62% decline compared with the
same period of the previous year when the company
earned $1,338.6 million, or $11.79 per share. The
wide difference in profitability was attributable to a
tax benefit the company received in fiscal 2018.
In October 2018, pet food and treats became
the J.M. Smucker Co.'s largest product category.This
represented a "significant shift" in Smucker's overall
portfolio composition over the past few years, said
Mark T. Smucker, chief executive officer, president
and director of the Orrville, Ohio-based company,
during an Oct. 9, 2018, investor day presentation.
"... We've reshaped our portfolio toward growth
categories and even within the categories toward the
segments that are growing the fastest within each
category," Mr. Smucker said. "The size of the categories that we are playing in today is about 25% larger
than those we were in five years ago."
Innovation was and will be key to Smucker's growth
strategy for its pet food, coffee and food businesses.

"Further growth in our Coffee business is expected in fiscal 2020 driven by the continued success of
Dunkin' and Café Bustelo and upcoming launches
of innovation with Dunkin' signature series, 1850
single origins and Folgers Noir, all of which meet
current consumer preferences and bring the coffee
shop quality and experience into the home," Mr.
Smucker said during a June 6 conference call with
securities analysts.
To continue the trajectory of Smucker's pet food
and coffee businesses as well as boost legacy brands
in other segments, Smucker announced in September that it is realigning its marketing programs to
engage consumers in a market featuring changing
consumer preferences, the growth of e-commerce
and a more fragmented media market.The company
is undergoing the change as one strategy to make
such legacy brands as Jif, Folgers, Smucker's and
Milk-Bone more relevant to younger consumers.
Smucker's new marketing model features three
primary components, including a commitment to

breakthrough creative, a cross-platform media
model to optimize the reach of messaging, and an
agile way of working.
"It's through this work and the collective body
of the work, that's how we're going to accelerate
our innovation, revitalize our core brands and pour
gasoline on our growth brands," said Geoff E. Tanner, senior vice-president of growth and consumer
engagement, at the Barclays Global Consumer
Staples Conference held Sept. 3 in Boston.
The new marketing strategy follows Smucker's
reorganization of its innovation model a few years
ago, which included creating new cross-functional
teams, new approaches to consumer insights and
employing an agile approach.
"Innovation is a hard game, but that said, I am very
pleased with our innovation performance and the success rates that we're seeing," Mr.Tanner said. "In fiscal
'19, we delivered over $200 million in net sales from
new products, and we saw strong incrementality."
Initiatives being undertaken to reinvigorate the
top line include optimizing peanut butter pricing
and merchandising, delivery of incremental Uncrustables sandwich volume, and the launch of the
new advertising to drive brand excitement.
Smucker opened a 430,000-square-foot facility
in Longmont, Colo., to produce Uncrustables, which
is nearing $300 million in sales. CP
