-- ConAgra Foods, Inc. Analyst Notes On June 18, 2014, ConAgra Foods, Inc. (ConAgra Foods) reported its preliminary Q4 FY 2014 financial results (period ended May 25, 2014). Diluted loss per share from continuing operations is expected to be c.$0.76. After adjusting items impacting comparability, Q4 FY 2014 EPS is expected to be c.$0.55, lower than the previous anticipation of $0.60 EPS for the quarter. The anticipated reduction resulted from the 7% quarterly volume decline for the Consumer Foods segment, as well as weak profits for the Private Brands segment. Gary Rodkin, CEO of ConAgra Foods, said, "We are disappointed with the Consumer Foods volume performance, which negatively impacted comparable EPS. As we have communicated, we are in the process of improving product mix and promotion strategies in the Consumer Foods segment for better results and greater effectiveness, and we expect our volume performance to improve in fiscal 2015 as a result of this." The Company informed that the Q4 FY 2014 financial results will be reported in details on June 26, 2014. The full analyst notes on ConAgra Foods are available to download free of charge at:
