Consumer Products net sales increased to $2,340.6 million from $1,333.8 million. The vast majority of this increase reflects the inclusion of sales related to our fruit, vegetable and tomato businesses as described above. In addition, sales gains in tuna pouch contributed to the increase.

Pet Products net sales of $789.3 million reflected an increase of $30.8 million, or 4.1%, from the prior year, due primarily to increased sales of our Kibbles 'n Bits Kibbles 'n Bits is a brand name of dog food manufactured and marketed by Del Monte Foods.

Reported operating income for fiscal 2004 totaled $378.5 million, an increase of $133.4 million, or 54.4%, compared to fiscal 2003. This increase was due primarily to the inclusion of operating income related to our fruit, vegetable and tomato businesses in our Consumer Products reportable segment for a full twelve months in fiscal 2004, compared to an approximate four-month post-merger period of fiscal 2003. Improved volume in our StarKist Brands operating segment and our Pet Products reportable segment also contributed to the increase. These increases were partially offset by higher corporate expense in 2004, largely due to a full year of corporate expense in fiscal 2004, compared with approximately ap·prox·i·mate

The Company also stated that it expects reported fiscal 2005 sales growth of approximately 1% over reported fiscal 2004 (or growth of approximately 3% if the extra week in fiscal 2004 is taken into account). Additionally, the Company announced projected reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in fiscal 2005 of approximately $0.81 to $0.86, including an estimated $0.06 of integration expense, compared to $0.76 of reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in fiscal 2004, including $0.13 of integration expenses. In addition, fiscal 2004 was benefited by an estimated $0.03 per diluted share for the 53rd week.

The Company also expects cash provided by operating activities, less cash used in investing activities, to exceed $200 million in fiscal 2005.

The 2005 earnings performance is expected to be driven by increased volume and improved mix, continuing the momentum that began in 2004. The Company expects volume growth will be driven by increased marketing investments against key brand equities, which will be partially funded by cost savings efforts in our overhead structure. In addition, the Company expects to maintain a flat gross margin, in spite of in opposition to all efforts of; in defiance or contempt of; notwithstanding.

In addition, the Company expects de-leveraging and lower integration expenses will contribute to earnings growth.

First Quarter

The Company also expects sales growth of approximately 2%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004, and reported diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.03 to $0.05 for the first quarter of fiscal 2005, including approximately $0.01 of integration expense, compared to $0.07 for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, including $0.02 of integration expense. These earnings results are driven by increased sales volume offset by higher commodity, ingredient, packaging and energy cost pressures, as well as higher levels of marketing investment.

The Company is providing the adjusted and pro forma, as adjusted non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in developing consistent period-to-period comparisons. This is due, in part, to the fact that on December 20, 2002, the Company merged with certain businesses of H. J. Heinz Company (NYSE: HNZ). For accounting purposes, fiscal 2003 reported results include the results of operations of the fruit, vegetable and tomato business only for the period after the December 20, 2002 merger. Reported financial results for periods prior to the merger reflect only the financial results of the Acquired Businesses. Reported results also include expenses and charges that relate to the merger and other events rather than to the routine operation of the Company's businesses. The Company's adjustments to its GAAP GAAP
