     Foodservice Products volume increased 1% in the current quarter.
4. How much was total Depreciation and Amortization for the quarter?

   Approximately $91 million, of which approximately $78 million applied to continuing operations
   (versus approximately $91 million in Q3 2005, of which approximately $76 million applied to
   continuing operations).

5. How much was total Depreciation and Amortization for the fiscal year-to-date?

   Approximately $269 million, of which approximately $226 million applied to continuing operations
   (versus $265 million through Q3 2005, of which approximately $207 million applied to continuing
   operations.)

6. How much were Capital Expenditures for the quarter?

   Approximately $61 million (versus approximately $97 million in Q3 2005), including both continuing
   operations and discontinued operations.

7. How much were Capital Expenditures for the fiscal year-to-date?

   Approximately $196 million (versus $353 million through Q3 2005), including both continuing
   operations and discontinued operations.

8. What was the net interest expense for the quarter?

   Approximately $62 million.

9. What was the net interest expense for the fiscal year-to-date?

   Approximately $192 million.

10. What was Corporate Expense for the quarter?

   Approximately $171 million, which includes approximately $77 million of expense from items that
   impact comparability with the prior year.

11. What was Corporate Expense for the fiscal year-to-date?

   Approximately $347 million.

12. How much did the company pay in dividends during the quarter?

   $141 million

13. How much did the company pay in dividends fiscal year-to-date?

   $ 424 million

14. What was the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the quarter?

   521 million shares

15. What was the approximate effective tax rate for the quarter (rounded) for continuing operations?
27%, including a benefit from changes in estimates related to state income tax liabilities partially offset
   by the impact of non-deductible equity method investment impairment charges. The lower effective tax
   rate favorably impacted earnings by approximately $11 million or $0.02 per diluted share.

16. What were the gross margins and operating margins for the quarter ($ amounts in millions, rounded)?

   Gross Margin = Gross Profit* divided by Net Sales
   Gross Margin = $715/$2,879 = 24.8%

   Operating Margin = Segment Operating Profit** divided by Net Sales
   Operating Margin = $360/$2,879 = 12.5%

   * Gross Profit = Net Sales – Costs of Goods Sold ($2,879 – $2,164 = $715)

   **See third-quarter segment operating results for a reconciliation of Operating Profit to Income from
   continuing operations before income taxes and equity method investment earnings (loss). Income from
   continuing operations before income taxes and equity method investment earnings (loss), divided by Net
   Sales = $126/$2,879 = 4.4%.

17. What was the trade working capital position at quarter end, excluding amounts for discontinued
    operations?

   Trade working capital is defined as the net position of Accounts Receivable plus Inventory less Current
   Operating Liabilities (Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, and Advances on Sales).

                                                 Q3 FY06                Q3 FY05
   Accounts Receivable                            $1,159                 $1,353
   Inventory                                      $2,489                 $2,408

   Less: Advances on Sales                        $ 137                  $ 171
          Net Position                            $1,170                 $1,053

18. What is included in the company’s net debt at the end of the quarter (in millions)?

                                                 Q3 FY06                Q3 FY05
   Total Debt*                                    $3,842                 $4,527
   Less: Cash On Hand                             $ 237                  $    9
                 Total                            $3,605                 $4,518

   * Total debt = notes payable, short-term debt, long-term debt, and subordinated debt.

19. What were the significant changes to debt during the quarter?

   At the end of the third quarter, interest-bearing debt was approximately $3.8 billion, reflecting the fact
   that the company repaid approximately $500 million of debt during the quarter. The current portion of
   long-term debt reflects $400 million of 7.125% senior debt due October 2026 that has been reclassified
   because of a put option that is exercisable by the holders of the debt from Aug. 1, 2006 to Sept. 1, 2006.
   Based on current market conditions, the company does not anticipate the holders to exercise the put
   option, and therefore expects to reclassify the $400 million debt back into senior long-term debt after
   Sept. 1, 2006 when the put option expires.
20. What is the preliminary estimate of the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 (rounded),
    excluding any items impacting comparability?

   Approximately 36%.

21. What are the projected Capital Expenditures for fiscal 2006?

   No more than $400 million.

22. What is the expected net interest expense for fiscal 2006?

   Approximately $260-$270 million.

     “Major Items Affecting Third-Quarter Fiscal 2006 Comparability” in the accompanying
     Q3FY06 earnings release.
     * *Impacted by rounding.


24. Does the company have any comment on discontinued operations for the year-ago period?

   Income from discontinued operations in the year-ago period was $0.01 after tax, which includes ($0.03)
   of loss, including impairment charges, from specialty meats operations, which the company no longer
   owns; this was more than offset by $0.04 of income from operations yet to be divested, specifically
   packaged meats, seafood, and cheese. The company considers the ($0.03) to impact comparability
   because the company no longer owns the operations that generated the ($0.03). The company does not
   consider the other $0.04 to impact comparability, as those earnings came from operations still owned by
the company; as such, results from those operations are included in both current year and prior year
   amounts.

25. What are the revised historical segment results as a result of the classification change that took place this
    quarter?

What were the significant changes to debt during the quarter? At the end of the third quarter, interest-bearing debt was approximately $3.8 billion, reflecting the fact that the company repaid approximately $500 million of debt during the quarter. The current portion of long-term debt reflects $400 million of 7.125% senior debt due October 2026 that has been reclassified because of a put option that is exercisable by the holders of the debt from Aug. 1, 2006 to Sept. 1, 2006. Based on current market conditions, the company does not anticipate the holders to exercise the put option, and therefore expects to reclassify the $400 million debt back into senior long-term debt after Sept. 1, 2006 when the put option expires.
