PILGRIM’S PRIDE CORPORATION
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS FOR FISCAL 2003

     Pittsburg, TX—July 22, 2003—Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (NYSE: CHX, CHX.A) today reported net income of $17.4 million, or $0.42 per share, for the third fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2003, an increase of $14.1 million, or $0.34 per share, compared with net income of $3.3 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2002. Net sales for the third fiscal quarter of 2003 were $651.9 million, an increase of $14.8 million, compared with net sales of $637.1 million for the same period last year. The third fiscal quarter 2003 results include a $0.25 per share gain from partial settlements from vitamin and methionine lawsuits, net of tax and related employee incentive plan accruals.

     For the first nine months of fiscal 2003, net income was $31.0 million, or $0.75 per share, an increase of $13.5 million compared with net income of $17.5 million, or $0.43 per share in the prior fiscal year’s first nine months. The Company also reported net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 of $1,909.9 million, a $16.0 million increase compared with $1,893.9 million for the same period last year. The first nine months of fiscal 2003 results include a $1.06 per share gain from partial settlements from vitamin and methionine lawsuits, and the recoveries from the prior year’s avian influenza, net of tax and related employee incentive plan accruals.

     “Our third quarter results reflect an improvement in pricing and better operating efficiencies,” commented O.B. Goolsby, President and Chief Operating Officer of Pilgrim’s Pride. “Over the last few months, higher chicken prices have increased margin levels. We expect that lower domestic supplies of meat proteins in the marketplace will continue to favorably impact our bottom line.

     “We have made significant progress this quarter executing on our strategy, including our June announcement that we will acquire ConAgra’s chicken division. This combination will better position us to capitalize on the growing demand for prepared and fresh case-ready chicken and will give us the capacity to enhance the technological leadership and cost-efficiency for which we are known. We are looking forward to completing the ConAgra acquisition in the third calendar quarter of 2003,” Mr. Goolsby said.

     “Pilgrim’s Pride is well positioned to continue on its growth trajectory. Our objectives remain consistent: to increase sales, profit margins and earnings. Our commitment has never been stronger to providing customers with the highest-quality poultry products, as we remain focused on the company’s continued growth and driving shareholder value,” Mr. Goolsby concluded.

     Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation is the second largest poultry producer in the United States; the third largest in chicken and fifth largest in turkey, and second largest chicken company in Mexico. Pilgrim’s Pride employs more than 24,500 persons and operates processing and further processing plants, distribution centers, hatcheries and feed mills in Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia and Mexico.

     Products are sold to foodservice, retail and frozen entrée customers. The Company’s primary distribution is through retailers and restaurants throughout the United States and in the Northern and Central regions of Mexico and to the foodservice industry nation-wide in both countries.

 


 

     A conference call to discuss the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2003 financial results will be held at 10:00 a.m. CDT (11:00 a.m. EDT) on July 23, 2003. To listen live via telephone, call 800-556-3831 access code 00977. The call will also be web cast live on the Internet at http://www.firstcallevents.com/service/ajwz384641185gf12.html. The web cast will be available for replay within two hours of the conclusion of the call. A telephone replay will be available beginning at 2:00 p.m. CDT on July 23 through July 30 at 800-876-6305.

Statements contained in this press release that state the intentions, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, expectations or predictions of the future of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation and its management are forward looking statements. It is important to note that the actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward looking statements. For example, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward looking statements include: matters affecting the poultry industry generally, including fluctuations in the commodity prices of feed ingredients, chicken and turkey; disease outbreaks affecting the production performance and/or marketability of the Company’s poultry products; contamination of our products, which has recently and can in the future lead to product liability claims and product recalls; exposure to risks related to product liability, product recalls, property damage and injuries to persons, for which insurance coverage is expensive, limited and potentially inadequate; management of our cash resources, particularly in light of our substantial leverage; restrictions imposed by and as a result of, our substantial leverage; currency exchange rate fluctuations, trade barriers, exchange controls, expropriation and other risk associated with foreign operations; changes in laws or regulations affecting our operations as well as competitive factors and pricing pressures; inability to effectively integrate ConAgra’s chicken business or realize the associated cost savings and operating synergies currently anticipated; and the impact of uncertainties of litigation as well as other risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(e) “EBITDA” is defined as the sum of net income (loss) before extraordinary charges, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is used by us, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of GAAP results, to compare the performance of companies. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is calculated as follows:

(e) “EBITDA” is defined as the sum of net income (loss) before extraordinary charges, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is used by us, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of GAAP results, to compare the performance of companies. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is calculated as follows:
