2. The following statements made in this presentation are “forward looking” and are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: statements relating to (1) projected
sales (including for individual segments, for specific product lines and for the company as a whole), profit
margins, net income and earnings per share, (2) our growth strategy, (3) our branding initiatives (4) our
integration, innovation, and research and development plans, and (5) our cost-savings initiatives. These
statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in this
presentation. Financial projections are based on a number of assumptions. Actual results could be materially
different than projected if those assumptions are erroneous. Sales, profit margins, net income and earnings
per share can vary based on a variety of economic, governmental and competitive factors, which are identified
in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K (which
can be accessed on our website at www.deanfoods.com or the website of the Securities and Exchange
Commission at www.sec.gov). The Company's ability to profit from its branding initiatives depends on a
number of factors including consumer acceptance of the Company's products. All forward looking statements
in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation. We expressly disclaim any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any change in our
expectations with regard thereto or any changes in the events, conditions or circumstances on which any such
statement is based.
