integration costs of $0.05 per diluted share are included in the first
quarter of 2009. Excluding these items, the Company's non-GAAP income
per diluted share was $0.92 and $0.82 for the first quarter of 2010
and 2009, respectively, an increase of 12 percent.

======== ======== ========= ==
Net sales were up 58 percent in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, primarily due to the addition of Folgers. Excluding Folgers, net volume increased 2 percent, led by Pillsbury flour, baking mixes, and frostings, Crisco oils, Jif peanut butter, and Smucker's fruit spreads which were partially offset by decreases in the special markets segment. Volume gains were more than offset by price declines taken in calendar 2009, primarily in the U.S. retail oils and baking segment, and higher promotional spending in certain categories. Excluding acquisitions and foreign exchange, net sales were down 1 percent in the first quarter of 2010, compared to 2009.

Overall, gross profit increased
Selling, distribution, and administrative ("SD&A") expenses increased 54 percent for the first quarter of 2010, compared to 2009, with the addition of Folgers accounting for the majority of the increase. As a percentage of net sales, SD&A decreased from 19.7 percent in the first quarter of 2009 to 19.1 percent in 2010. Consistent with the Company's strategy of long-term investment in its brands, marketing expense increased during the first quarter of 2010, compared to 2009, in support of the Company's brand equity initiatives, including new advertising. However, total marketing and selling expenses decreased as a percent of net sales, along with corporate administrative expenses, reflecting efficiencies realized upon integration of Folgers.
Amortization expense, a noncash item, increased
Operating income more than doubled compared to the first quarter of 2009, and improved from 10.8 percent to 16.0 percent of net sales. Merger and integration costs were
Interest and Income Taxes
Interest expense increased
Income tax expense increased $32.0 million during the first quarter of
2010 compared to 2009. The effective tax rate increased to 35.2 percent in
the first quarter of 2010 compared to 33.3 percent in 2009, reflecting the
higher effective tax rate associated with the Folgers business and the net
favorable resolution of previously open tax positions in 2009 as compared to
2010.
