Basis of Presentation
The unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q) have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2013. In our opinion, we have made all necessary adjustments (which generally include normal recurring adjustments) in order to
present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 may
not be indicative of our operating results for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2012 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
For periods prior to
the completion of our initial public offering on October 31, 2012, our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and derived from Dean Foods Companys (Dean Foods) consolidated
financial statements and accounting records using the historical results of operations, and assets and liabilities attributed to our operations, and include allocations of expenses from Dean Foods. Our consolidated and segment results are not
necessarily indicative of our future performance and do not reflect what our financial performance would have been had we been a stand-alone public company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Prior to completion of our initial public offering, Dean Foods provided certain corporate services to us, and costs associated with these
functions have been allocated to us. These allocations include costs related to corporate services, such as executive management, supply chain, information technology, legal, finance and accounting, investor relations, human resources, risk
management, tax, treasury, and other services, as well as share-based compensation expense attributable to our employees and an allocation of share-based compensation attributable to employees of Dean Foods. The costs of such services were allocated
to us based on the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of total net sales, relative percentage of headcount, or specific identification. The total amount of these allocations from Dean
Foods was approximately $18.5 million (which includes $8.0 million of transaction costs related to the offering) and $42.3 million (which includes $12.0 million of transaction costs related to the offering) in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2012, respectively. These cost allocations are primarily reflected within general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as well as classified as Corporate and
other in Note 14 Segment, Geographic, and Customer Information. Management believes the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit
received by us during the periods presented. Dean Foods continues to provide some of these services on a transitional basis for a fee.
Upon completion of our initial public offering, we assumed responsibility for the costs of these functions. The allocations may not reflect
the expense we would have incurred as a stand-alone public company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone public company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen
organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in certain areas.
Prior
to completion of our initial public offering, total equity represented Dean Foods interest in our recorded net assets. Dean Foods net investment balance represented the cumulative net investment by Dean Foods in us through
October 31, 2012, including any prior net income or loss or other comprehensive income or loss attributed to us and contributions received from or distributions made to Dean Foods. Certain transactions between us and other related parties that
are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dean Foods, including allocated expenses and settlement of intercompany transactions, are also included in Dean Foods net investment.
7
We were allocated a portion of Dean Foods consolidated debt based on amounts directly
incurred by us to fund the acquisition of Alpro in July 2009. Prior to completion of our initial public offering, interest expense had been allocated based on the historical interest rates of the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility during each
period presented, as this revolver was drawn to fund the Alpro acquisition. Debt issuance costs were allocated in the same proportion as the debt. In connection with our initial public offering, the allocated portion of the Dean Foods senior secured
credit facility was settled as a contribution to our capital from Dean Foods. Management believes the basis of historical allocation for debt, interest expense and debt issuance costs is reasonable. However, these amounts may not be indicative of
the actual amounts that we would have incurred had we been a stand-alone public company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. See Note 8 Debt and Allocated Portion of Dean Foods Debt.
Certain reclassifications of previously reported assets have been made to conform to the current year presentation in Note 14 Segment,
Geographic, and Customer Information. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported amounts on the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Completion of Spin-Off from Dean Foods
On May 23, 2013, Dean Foods distributed (the Distribution) to its
stockholders an aggregate of 47,686,000 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class A common stock), and 67,914,000 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class B common
stock), as a pro rata dividend to Dean Foods stockholders at the close of business on May 17, 2013, the record date for the Distribution. Effective upon the Distribution, and in accordance with the terms of our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, we reduced the number of votes per share of our Class B common stock with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, other than the election and removal of directors, to one vote per share.
Prior to the Distribution, Dean Foods converted 82,086,000 shares of our Class B common stock into 82,086,000 shares of our Class A
common stock in accordance with the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, of which 47,686,000 shares of Class A common stock were distributed to Dean Foods stockholders in the Distribution. As a result of and
immediately after the Distribution, Dean Foods owned 34,400,000 shares of our Class A Common stock and no shares of our Class B common stock. Under the terms of the separation and distribution agreement, Dean Foods was required to dispose of
any remaining ownership interest in us within three years of the Distribution, or May 23, 2016. On July 25, 2013 Dean Foods disposed of all of its remaining 34,400,000 shares of our Class A common stock in a registered public
offering. We did not receive any proceeds from this offering. As a result of and immediately after the closing of this offering, Dean Foods no longer owns any shares of our common stock and has no ownership interest in us.
Common Stock Class Conversion
On September 24, 2013, the Companys stockholders approved a proposal to convert all of
the outstanding shares of the Companys Class B common stock into shares of the Companys Class A common stock. All of the 67,913,310 shares of Class B common stock outstanding were converted on a one-for-one basis into
shares of Class A common stock.
The conversion had no impact on the economic interests of the holders of Class A common stock
and the former holders of Class B common stock. The conversion had no impact on the total issued and outstanding shares of the Companys common stock although it increased the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding in an
amount equivalent to the number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding immediately prior to the conversion.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the disclosure requirements regarding the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendment does not change the current requirement for reporting net
income or other comprehensive income, but requires additional disclosures about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, including changes in balances by component, significant items reclassified out of accumulated other
comprehensive income and the income statement line items impacted by the reclassifications. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2013. See Note 11 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Other than the additional disclosure
requirements, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05,
Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830),
clarifying the applicable guidance for the
release of the cumulative translation adjustment. ASU 2013-05 is effective for the Company in the period beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11,
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss
Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists
. ASU 2013-11 requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred
tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. ASU 2013-11 is effective for the Company in the period beginning January 1, 2014 and the Company does not anticipate
that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
2. Assets Held for Sale
During the third quarter of 2013, management approved a plan to sell the assets of its dairy farm located in Idaho.
Managements decision to pursue a sale is based on the strategic decision to focus on the Companys core processing, marketing and distribution capabilities. As of September 30, 2013, the assets are classified as held for sale on the
condensed consolidated balance sheets at $40.5 million representing their fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. As a result, a non-cash write-down of $7.4 million was recorded during the third quarter of 2013. This charge is included in
operating costs and expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Idaho dairy farm assets are included in the North America segment and the fair value was determined based on the estimated selling price.
The following is a summary of the Idaho dairy farm assets held for sale as of September 30, 2013:

Upon disposition of the Idaho dairy farm, expected to be completed in the next 12 months, we expect to incur
lease termination and other related costs currently estimated to be between $2.5 and $4.0 million.
3. Transactions with Morningstar Foods, LLC (Morningstar)
On January 3, 2013 Dean Foods sold its wholly-owned subsidiary Morningstar to an unaffiliated third party, and
therefore Morningstar is no longer considered a related party. In connection with this sale, we modified certain of the commercial agreements between us and Morningstar. These modifications, with the exception of the Morningstar Asset Purchase
Agreement, are primarily timing modifications and will not have a material impact on our results of operations.
Morningstar Asset Purchase
Agreement
In connection with Dean Foods sale of Morningstar, we agreed to terminate an option to purchase plant capacity and
property at a Morningstar facility, sell to Morningstar certain manufacturing equipment used to produce certain WhiteWave products, and execute certain other transactions. The agreement was executed on December 2, 2012, but became effective on
January 3, 2013, immediately prior to the completion of Dean Foods sale of Morningstar, and we received proceeds of $60 million as consideration. This transaction was accounted for as a contribution to equity and a purchase by Dean Foods.
The proceeds were used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under the senior secured credit facilities.
9
Transitional Sales Agreements
In connection with and effective as of our initial public offering, we entered into an agreement with Morningstar, a then wholly-owned Dean
Foods subsidiary, pursuant to which Morningstar transferred back to us responsibility for sales and associated costs of certain WhiteWave products over a term of up to nine months after the completion of the Morningstar sale. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2013, Morningstar provided certain transitional services to us which included, but were not limited to, taking and filling orders, collecting receivables, and shipping products to our customers. Morningstar remitted to us
the cash representing the net profit collected from these product sales until such time as the sales transitioned to us. The net effect of the agreement is reflected as transitional sales fees of $1.8 million in our unaudited condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The sales transition was substantially completed during the early part of the second quarter of 2013.
We also entered into an agreement with Morningstar pursuant to which we transferred to Morningstar responsibility for the sales and associated
costs of our aerosol whipped topping and other non-core products over a 15-month term. During this term, we provided certain transitional services to Morningstar which included, but were not limited to, taking and filling orders, collecting
receivables and shipping products to customers. We remitted to Morningstar the net profit associated with these product sales until such time as the sales were transitioned to Morningstar. The net fees remitted for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 were $0.7 million. The services transition was substantially completed during the early part of the second quarter of 2013.
4. Discontinued Operations and Divestitures
Hero Group (Hero) Joint Venture
In the second quarter of 2011, we began evaluating strategic alternatives related to our joint venture with Hero. During the third quarter of
2011, due to continued poor performance by the venture and a desire on our part to invest in core operations, the joint venture partners agreed to wind down the joint venture operations during the fourth quarter of 2011. In conjunction with this
action plan, we wrote down the value of the joint ventures long-lived assets to fair value less costs to sell as of September 30, 2011. At the end of 2012, the Hero joint venture wind down was completed.

7. Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes has been prepared on a separate return basis as if the Company was a stand-alone entity for
periods prior to the Distribution. Prior to the Distribution, the Company was included in the Dean Foods U.S. consolidated federal income tax return and also filed some U.S. state income tax returns on a combined basis with Dean Foods. For
periods subsequent to the Distribution, the Company will file its own U.S. federal and state income tax returns. Our foreign subsidiaries file local income tax returns in the jurisdictions in which they operate.
For each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year and applies that rate to
income from continuing operations before income taxes for the period. Additionally, the Company records discrete income tax items in the period in which they are incurred.
Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 27.6% and 37.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012,
respectively. Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 31.7% and 35.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013
was lower than the same periods in 2012 due to a decrease in deferred tax liabilities as a result of a reduction in the U.K. statutory tax rate, return to provision adjustments associated with differences between the provision calculated on a
separate return basis and the filing of the Dean Foods U.S. consolidated federal tax return, and the impact of non-deductible transaction costs in 2012. The decrease in the effective tax rate was partially offset by an increase in uncertain
tax positions in various jurisdictions. Changes in the relative profitability of our operating segments, as well as changes to federal, state, and foreign tax laws, may cause the rate to change from historical rates.

Represents a weighted average rate, including applicable interest rate margins, for the senior secured revolving credit facility, Term Loan A-1, and Term Loan A-2.
|
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On October 12, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement, among us, the subsidiary guarantors listed therein, Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement governs our senior secured credit facilities, which consist of a five-year revolving credit facility in a principal
amount of $850 million, an original five-year $250 million term loan A-1, and an original seven-year $250 million term loan A-2. The revolving credit facility makes available up to $75 million of letters of credit and up to $75 million of swing line
loans. On October 31, 2012, we incurred approximately $885 million in indebtedness under these facilities and subsequently used a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to repay a portion of the revolving credit facility.
We also capitalized $12.4 million of deferred financing fees, which are being amortized over the term of the respective credit or term loan facility. Deferred financing fees are included in identifiable intangible and other assets on our unaudited
condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2013, we had outstanding borrowings of $722.6 million under our $1.35
billion senior secured credit facilities, of which $488.8 million consists of term loan borrowings and $233.8 million consists of borrowings under the $850 million revolving portion of our senior secured credit facilities. We had additional
borrowing capacity of $615.7 million under our senior secured credit facilities, which amount will vary over time depending on our financial covenants and operating performance.
Receivables-Backed Facility
In
2004, we began participating in Dean Foods receivables-backed facility. We sold certain of our accounts receivable to a wholly-owned entity that is intended to be bankruptcy-remote. The entity transferred the receivables to third-party
asset-backed commercial paper conduits sponsored by major financial institutions. The securitization was treated as borrowing for accounting purposes. We were the beneficiary and obligor for all borrowings and repayments under our portion of the
Dean Foods facility. On September 28, 2011, Dean Foods amended the terms of the agreement to extend the liquidity termination date to September 25, 2013, to include the ability to issue letters of credit of up to $300 million under the
facility, and to amend certain other terms.
Effective September 1, 2012, we are no longer a participant in the Dean Foods
receivables-backed facility. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we borrowed $150.7 million and subsequently repaid $166.7 million under the facility.
Alpro Revolving Credit Facility
Our Alpro operations have access to a multi-currency revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity not to exceed 1 million (or
its currency equivalent). The facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by various Alpro subsidiaries. The subsidiary revolving credit facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes of Alpro and for the issuance of up
to 1 million (or its currency equivalent) of letters of credit. No principal payments are due under the subsidiary revolving credit facility until maturity on May 22, 2014. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there
were no outstanding borrowings under the facility.
Allocated Portion of Dean Foods Debt (Senior Secured Credit Facility)
On July 2, 2009, we were allocated $440.3 million from the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility to fund our acquisition of Alpro.
Prior to completion of our initial public offering, interest expense had been allocated based on the historical interest rates of the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility and totaled $2.9 million and $8.9 million in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Debt issuance costs were allocated in the same proportion as debt and recorded as a non-current asset included in our consolidated balance sheets. Upon completion of our initial public offering, the
principal balances associated with this allocated
12
portion of the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility were settled as a contribution to our capital from Dean Foods. Our guarantee of Dean Foods senior secured credit facility also
terminated upon completion of our initial public offering. See Note 15 Related Party Transactions Guarantees.
9. Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rates
In connection with our initial public offering, on October 31, 2012, Dean Foods novated to us certain of its interest rate swaps (the
2017 swaps) with a notional value of $650 million and a maturity date of March 31, 2017. We are now the sole counterparty to the financial institutions under these swap agreements and are directly responsible for any required future
settlements, and the sole beneficiary of any future receipts of funds, pursuant to their terms. We are subject to market risk with respect to changes in the underlying benchmark interest rate that impact the fair value of the interest rate swaps.
The following table summarizes the terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2013:

We have not designated such contracts as hedging instruments; therefore, the interest rate swap agreements are
marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period and a derivative asset or liability is recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Losses on these contracts were $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2013 and gains on these contracts were $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Gains and losses are recorded in other (income) expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. A summary of these open
swap agreements recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is included in the table below.
Credit risk under these arrangements is believed to be remote as the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements are major financial
institutions; however, if any of the counterparties to the swap agreements become unable to fulfill their obligation, we may lose the financial benefits of these arrangements.
Commodities
We are exposed to
commodity price fluctuations, including milk, organic and non-genetically modified (non-GMO) soybeans, almonds, butterfat, sweeteners, and other commodity costs used in the manufacturing, packaging, and distribution of our products,
including utilities, natural gas, resin, and diesel fuel. To secure adequate supplies of materials and bring greater stability to the cost of ingredients and their related manufacturing, packaging, and distribution, we routinely enter into forward
purchase contracts and other purchase arrangements with suppliers. Under the forward purchase contracts, we commit to purchasing agreed-upon quantities of ingredients and commodities at agreed-upon prices at specified future dates. The outstanding
purchase commitment for these commodities at any point in time typically ranges from one months to one years anticipated requirements, depending on the ingredient or commodity. These contracts are considered normal purchases.
In addition to entering into forward purchase contracts, from time to time we may purchase over-the-counter contracts from our qualified
financial institutions for commodities associated with the production and distribution of our products. Certain of the contracts offset the risk of increases in our commodity costs and are designated as cash flow hedges when appropriate. There was
no material hedge ineffectiveness related to our commodities contracts designated as hedging instruments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. A summary of our open commodities contracts recorded at fair value in
our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is included in the table below.
Although we may utilize forward purchase contracts and other instruments to mitigate the risks related to commodity price fluctuation, such
strategies do not fully mitigate commodity price risk. Adverse movements in commodity prices over the terms of the contracts or instruments could decrease the economic benefits we derive from these strategies.
Foreign Currency
Our
international operations represented approximately 25% and 17% of our long-lived assets and net sales, respectively, as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Sales in foreign countries, as well as certain expenses related to
those sales, are transacted in currencies other than our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. Our foreign currency exchange rate risk is primarily limited to the Euro and the British Pound. We may, from time to time, employ derivative financial
instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates or enter into forward currency exchange contracts to hedge our net investment and intercompany payable or receivable balances in foreign operations.

contracts and $0.4 million of hedging activity related to our commodities contracts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income within the next 12 months.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair
value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be
determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering assumptions, we follow a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as
follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant
inputs are observable in active markets.
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps is determined based on the notional amounts of the swaps and the
forward LIBOR curve relative to the fixed interest rates under the swap agreements. The fair value of our commodities contracts is based on the quantities and fixed prices under the agreements and quoted forward commodity prices. The fair value of
our foreign currency contracts is based on the notional amounts and rates under the contracts and observable market forward exchange rates. We classify these instruments in Level 2 because quoted market prices can be corroborated utilizing
observable benchmark market rates at commonly quoted intervals and observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward currency prices. We did not significantly change our valuation techniques from prior periods.
Due to their near-term maturities, the carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered equivalent to fair
value. In addition, because the interest rates on our senior secured credit facilities are variable, their fair values approximate their carrying values.
10. Common Stock and Share-Based Compensation
On August 7, 2012, the Dean Foods Compensation Committee, the Dean Foods board of directors, and our board of directors
approved the terms of our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2012 SIP). In connection with our initial public offering, 20 million shares of our Class A common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2012 SIP upon the exercise
of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), or restricted stock awards that will be issued to our employees and non-employee directors. The 2012 SIP also includes awards of stock appreciation rights (SARs) and phantom
shares as part of our long-term incentive compensation program. In general, awards granted under the 2012 SIP vest one-third on the first anniversary of the grant date, one-third on the second anniversary of the grant date, and one-third on the
third anniversary of the grant date. Unvested awards vest immediately upon a change of control and in the following additional circumstances: (i) an employee retires after reaching the age of 65, (ii) in certain cases upon death or
qualified disability, and (iii) with the exception of the awards granted in connection with the initial public offering, an employee with 10 years of service retires after reaching the age of 55.
Prior to the Distribution, certain of the Companys employees participated in share-based compensation plans sponsored by Dean Foods.
These plans provided employees with RSUs, options to purchase shares of Dean Foods common stock, and other stock-based awards. Given that the Companys employees directly benefit from participation in these plans, the expense incurred by
Dean Foods for stock and options granted specifically to our employees has been reflected in the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. These amounts were
based on the awards and terms previously granted to our employees, but may not reflect the equity awards or results that we would have experienced or expect to experience as a stand-alone public company. No new grants of Dean Foods equity were
made to our employees after completion of our initial public offering. Prior to completion of the initial public offering, expenses related to the corporate employees of Dean Foods were allocated based on the Companys percentage of Dean
Foods total sales and totaled $1.2 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
For the Dean Foods plans, the share and unit data presented in the tables below only reflect the costs that were directly attributable to the
Companys employees and none of the allocated expenses of Dean Foods corporate employees. On May 23, 2013 and in connection with the Distribution, all Dean Foods equity-based awards held by 162 of our non-employee directors and
employees were converted into equity-based awards with respect to our Class A common stock. These Dean Foods equity-based awards included Dean Foods stock options (whether vested or unvested), unvested RSUs and unvested Dean Foods restricted
stock awards held by our non-employee directors on the date of the Distribution. The options to purchase Dean Foods common stock held
15
by our directors and employees were converted to options to purchase our Class A common stock in a manner that preserved the life and aggregate intrinsic value in the converted stock option
and continued the same proportionate relationship between the exercise price and the value of our Class A common stock as existed with respect to the Dean Foods common stock immediately prior to the Distribution. The adjustment was effected
based on a formula using the volume weighted average price of Dean Foods common stock and our Class A common stock during the five trading day period ended on the second trading day preceding the Distribution. The unvested Dean Foods RSUs held
by our directors and employees were converted to WhiteWave RSUs in a manner that, on a unit-by-unit basis, preserved the life and intrinsic value of each outstanding Dean Foods RSU (determined using the same volume weighted average values as
described above). The unvested Dean Foods phantom shares held by our employees were converted to WhiteWave phantom shares in a manner that, on a unit-by-unit basis, preserved the life and intrinsic value of each outstanding Dean Foods phantom share
(determined using the same volume weighted average values as described above). Dean Foods restricted stock awards held by our directors on the date of the Distribution were converted into restricted stock awards with respect to our Class A
common stock by (i) applying the same volume weighted average values as described above and (ii) subtracting any shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock received by our directors in the Distribution in respect of
such Dean Foods restricted stock awards. We did not recognize any incremental expense in connection with the conversion of Dean Foods equity-based awards into WhiteWave awards.

Dean Foods Cash Performance Units
In 2010, Dean Foods began granting cash performance units (CPUs) to employees as part of its long-term incentive compensation
program under the terms of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan). The CPU awards are cash-settled awards and are designed to link compensation of certain executive officers and other key employees to Dean Foods performance
over a three-year period. The performance metric, as defined in the awards, is the performance of the Dean Foods stock price relative to that of a peer group of companies. The range of payout under the awards is between 0% and 200% and is payable in
cash at the end of each respective performance period. The fair value of the awards is measured at each reporting period. Compensation expense related to the Companys direct employees is recognized over the vesting period which is recorded in
general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Prior to the completion of our initial public offering, a liability related to these units was not reflected in the unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheets as the payout was funded by Dean Foods and subsequent to completion of our initial public offering, a corresponding liability has been recorded in other long-term liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated
balance sheets.
In connection with our initial public offering, Dean Foods valued the 2011 and 2012 CPU awards for our executives based
on performance as of December 31, 2012, instead of at the end of the originally scheduled 36-month performance periods. The cash value of these awards was paid out on a prorated basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

WhiteWave Phantom Shares
We grant phantom shares under the 2012 SIP as part of our long-term incentive compensation program, which are similar to RSUs in that they are
based on the price of WhiteWave Class A common stock and vest ratably over a three-year period, but are cash-settled based upon the value of WhiteWave Class A common stock at each vesting period. The fair value of the awards is re-measured
at each reporting period. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. A corresponding liability has been
recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the phantom share activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

WhiteWave SARs
We grant SARs under the 2012 SIP as part of our long-term incentive compensation program, which are similar to stock options in that they are
based on the price of WhiteWave Class A common stock and vest ratably over a three-year period, but are cash-settled based upon the value of WhiteWave stock at the exercise date. The fair value of the awards is re-measured at each reporting
period. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. A corresponding liability has been recorded in accounts

Share Repurchase Program
Our board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $150 million of its common
stock. The primary purpose of the program will be to offset dilution from the Companys equity compensation plans, but the Company also may make discretionary purchases. Shares may be repurchased under the program from time to time in one or
more open market or other transactions, at the discretion of the Company, subject to market conditions and other factors. The authorization to repurchase shares will end when the Company has repurchased the maximum amount of shares authorized, or
the Companys Board of Directors has determined to discontinue such repurchases.

12. Employee Retirement and Profit Sharing Plans
Prior to the Distribution, our employees participated in Dean Foods broad-based programs generally available to all
employees, including its 401(k) plan, health and dental plans and various other insurance plans, including disability and life insurance. Effective upon the Distribution, the Company implemented its own substantially similar employee benefit plans
and our employees are no longer eligible to participate in Dean Foods plans. Additionally, we contribute to one multiemployer pension plan on behalf of our employees.
Substantially all full-time union and non-union employees who have completed one or more years of service and have met other requirements
pursuant to the plans were eligible to participate in one or more of the Dean Foods plans. Expenses related to our employees participation in Dean Foods plans, prior to the Distribution, were determined by specifically identifying
the costs for the Companys participants.
22
We have separate, stand-alone defined benefit pension plans as a result of the acquisition of
Alpro on July 2, 2009. The benefits under our Alpro defined benefit plans are based on years of service and employee compensation.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease and Purchase Obligations
We lease certain property, plant, and equipment used in our operations under operating lease agreements. Such leases, which are primarily for
office space, machinery, and equipment, have lease terms ranging from one to 20 years. Rent expense was $2.0 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $6.0 million and $6.1 million for
the nine months September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
We have entered into various contracts, in the normal course of business,
obligating us to purchase minimum quantities of raw materials used in our production and distribution processes, including soybeans and organic raw milk. We enter into these contracts from time to time to ensure a sufficient supply of raw materials.
In addition, we have contractual obligations to purchase various services that are part of our production process.
Litigation, Investigations, and
Audits
The Company is involved in various litigation, investigations, and audit proceedings in the normal course of business. It
is managements opinion, after consultation with counsel and a review of the facts, a material adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, or cash flows of the Company is not probable or reasonably possible.
14. Segment, Geographic, and Customer Information
Our business is organized into two operating segments, North America and Europe, based on our go-to-market strategies,
customer bases, and the objectives of our businesses. Our segments align with how our chief operating decision maker, our CEO, monitors operating performance, allocates resources, and deploys capital.
The North America segment offers products in the plant-based foods and beverages, coffee creamers and beverages, and premium dairy product
categories throughout North America, and our Europe segment offers plant-based food and beverage products throughout Europe. We sell our products to a variety of customers, including grocery stores, mass merchandisers, club stores, and convenience
stores, as well as various away-from-home channels, including restaurants and foodservice outlets, across North America and Europe. We sell our products in North America and Europe primarily through our direct sales force and independent brokers. We
utilize five manufacturing plants, two distribution centers, and three strategic co-packers across the United States. Additionally, we have four plants across Europe in the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, each supported by an
integrated supply chain. We also utilize a limited number of third party co-packers across Europe for plant-based beverages other than soy, such as almond and hazelnut, and for more specialized, low-volume products.
We evaluate the performance of our segments based on sales and operating income or loss before gains and losses on the sale of businesses,
write downs related to the wind down of our joint venture, foreign exchange gains and losses and income tax. The amounts in the following tables are obtained from reports used by our chief operating decision maker. There are no significant non-cash
items reported in segment profit or loss other than depreciation and amortization.
The reporting segments do not include the costs
allocated to us by Dean Foods or costs incurred by us for certain corporate and shared service functions. In addition, the expense related to share-based compensation has not been allocated to our segments and is reflected entirely within the
caption Corporate and other. Related party license income, further described in Note 15 Related Party Transactions, has also been excluded. Therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented below is before such
items.

Significant Customers
The Company had a single customer that represented approximately 17.2% and 19.6% of our consolidated net sales in the three months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The same customer represented approximately 17.7% and 18.7% of our consolidated net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Sales to this customer are primarily
included in our North America segment.
15. Related Party Transactions
Allocated Expenses
As of July 25, 2013, Dean Foods disposed of its remaining shares of the Companys common stock in a registered public offering. As a
result of and immediately following this offering, Dean Foods has no ownership interest in us and therefore is no longer a related party. Prior to completion of our initial public offering, Dean Foods provided certain corporate services to us, and
costs associated with these functions were allocated to us. These allocations include costs related to corporate services, such as executive management, supply chain, information technology, legal, finance and accounting, investor relations, human
resources, risk management, tax, treasury, and other services, as well as stock-based compensation expense attributable to our employees and an allocation of stock-based compensation attributable to employees of Dean Foods. The costs of such
services were allocated to us based on the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of total net sales, relative percentage of headcount, or specific identification. The total amount of these
allocations from Dean Foods was approximately $18.5 million and $42.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. These allocations include approximately $8.0 and $12.0 million of transaction costs related to
our initial public offering for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. These cost allocations are primarily reflected within general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
operations as well as classified as Corporate and other in Note 14 Segment, Geographic, and Customer Information. Management believes the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the
utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by us during the periods presented. Dean Foods continues to provide many of these services on a transitional basis for a fee.
Upon completion of our initial public offering, we assumed responsibility for the costs of these functions. The allocations may not reflect
the expense we would have incurred as a stand-alone public company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone public company would depend on a number of factors,
including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in certain areas.
25
We were allocated a portion of Dean Foods consolidated debt based on amounts directly
incurred by us to fund the acquisition of Alpro in July 2009. Prior to completion of our initial public offering, interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 had been allocated based on the historical interest
rates of the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility during the three and nine month periods. Debt issuance costs were allocated in the same proportion as the debt. In connection with our initial public offering, the allocated portion of the Dean
Foods senior secured credit facility was settled as a contribution to our capital from Dean Foods. Management believes the basis of historical allocation for debt, interest expense, and debt issuance costs is reasonable. However, these amounts may
not be indicative of the actual amounts that we would have incurred had we been a stand-alone public company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Cash Management
We use a
centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. Prior to completion of our initial public offering, Dean Foods provided financing, cash management, and other treasury services to us. Our North American cash balances were
regularly swept by Dean Foods, and we received funding from Dean Foods for our operating and investing cash needs. Cash transferred to and from Dean Foods was historically recorded as intercompany payables and receivables that were reflected as a
component of Dean Foods net investment in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Since completion of our initial public offering, we have maintained separate cash management and financing functions for our operations.
Related Party Arrangements
Historically, related party transactions and activities involving Dean Foods and its wholly-owned subsidiaries were not always consummated on
terms equivalent to those that would prevail in an arms-length transaction where conditions of competitive, free-market dealing may exist.
Prior to completion of our initial public offering, certain related party transactions were settled by either non-cash capital contributions
from Dean Foods to us or non-cash capital distributions from us to Dean Foods and included as part of Dean Foods net investment. Other related party transactions that are settled in cash are reflected as related party receivables in our
unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we utilized
manufacturing facilities and resources managed by affiliates of Dean Foods to conduct our business. The expenses associated with these transactions, which primarily relate to co-packing certain of our products, are included in cost of sales in our
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with and effective as of our initial public offering, we entered
into agreements that formalize ongoing commercial arrangements we have with Dean Foods and Morningstar, which are described below. Certain terms of these agreements were modified in connection with Dean Foods sale of Morningstar. These
agreements are described in Note 3, Transactions with Morningstar.
Agreements with Fresh Dairy Direct
Fresh Dairy Direct (FDD) Sales and Distribution Agreement
We entered into an agreement with two wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Dean Foods, Suiza Dairy Group, LLC (Suiza Dairy) and Dean Dairy Holdings, LLC (Dean Dairy), pursuant to which those subsidiaries continue to sell and distribute certain WhiteWave products for a fixed initial
term of up to 18 months, depending on the product and customer. This agreement modifies our historical intercompany arrangements and reflects new pricing.
FDD Co-Packing Agreement
Additionally, we entered into a separate manufacturing agreement with Suiza Dairy and Dean Dairy
pursuant to which those subsidiaries continue manufacturing WhiteWave fresh organic milk products on our behalf for a term of 18 months. The agreement formalizes our historical intercompany arrangements.
FDD Cream Supply Agreement
We also entered into a supply agreement with Suiza Dairy and Dean Dairy pursuant to which we continue
to purchase cream from such subsidiaries for an initial term ending December 31, 2013, with an option for us to renew for up to four one-year terms. This agreement formalizes our historical intercompany arrangements.
Termination of Intellectual Property License Agreement
Historically, the Company was party to a license agreement with Morningstar, pursuant to which Morningstar had the right to use the
Companys intellectual property in the manufacture of certain products for a fee. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, related party license income was recorded within operating income in our unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of operations in the amount of $10.7 million and $32.0 million, respectively.
26
In conjunction with the license agreement, a loan agreement was entered into, pursuant to which
the Company extended a line of credit to Morningstar related to the license income under the license agreement. Prior to completion of our initial public offering, there were no repayments of this loan and no future plans to settle the outstanding
balance; therefore, the principal and associated accrued interest was shown in Dean Foods net investment as of December 31, 2011. The interest term on the loan to Morningstar was LIBOR plus 2% and recorded in interest income in our
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
In connection with our initial public offering, we and Morningstar agreed to terminate this license agreement and related loan. We no longer
receive license income or related interest income associated with these historical agreements. In addition, we entered into an agreement and transferred the intellectual property subject to the license agreement to Morningstar, so that Morningstar
has the requisite intellectual property and manufacturing know-how to produce and sell its products and brands. All intellectual property related to and necessary for the production of our products and brands was retained.
License Agreement with Dean Foods
We entered into an agreement with Dean Foods pursuant to which we have an exclusive license to manufacture and sell shelf stable aseptic
flavored and white milk under Dean Foods TruMoo brand in certain retail channels and to designated foodservice accounts throughout North America in exchange for payment of a royalty. The initial term of the agreement is December 2012 through
December 31, 2017, with automatic one-year renewals thereafter so long as we achieve specified volume thresholds and minimum royalties. We incurred immaterial royalty obligations under this agreement during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2013.
Transition Services Agreement
We and Dean Foods also entered into a transition services agreement to cover certain continued corporate services provided by us and Dean Foods
to each other following completion of our initial public offering. Our services consist primarily of marketing and research and development, while Dean Foods has provided supply chain, information technology, legal, finance and accounting,
human resources, risk management, tax, treasury, and other transitional services. Both Dean Foods and our services continue for a specified initial term, which vary with the types of services provided, unless terminated earlier or extended
according to the terms of the transition services agreement. We pay Dean Foods mutually agreed-upon fees for their services and Dean Foods pays us mutually agreed-upon fees for our services. Dean Foods has charged us $1.3 million and $18.0 million
and we have charged Dean Foods $0.3 million and $2.8 million for services rendered under the transition services agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
Guarantees
We have historically
guaranteed debt issued by Dean Foods, including the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility and the Dean Foods senior notes, on a joint and several basis. Prior to completion of our initial public offering, as this was an intercompany guarantee,
the Company had not recognized an indemnification liability or any income associated with this guarantee in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our guarantees of Dean Foods debt, including the Dean Foods senior secured
credit facility and the Dean Foods senior notes, terminated upon completion of our initial public offering.
16. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted
earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during each period. The contribution of WWF Operating Company (WWF Opco) to
WhiteWave was treated as a reorganization of entities under common control under Dean Foods. As a result, we are retrospectively presenting the shares outstanding for WhiteWave and WWF Opco for all periods presented. For the period prior to
completion of our initial public offering, the same number of Class B shares is being used for basic and diluted earnings per share, as no WhiteWave Class A common stock or equity awards were outstanding. The outstanding shares of Class B
common stock give effect to Dean Foods contribution of WWF Opcos capital stock to WhiteWave and Dean Foods subsequent conversion of a portion of their Class B common stock to Class A common stock prior to the Distribution.
