4 SECTION I: SUMMARY 2017 was projected to be a modest year of growth for the Food & Beverage industry, with most respondents expecting growth in sales, profit and employment, albeit at a decreased level from The factors most likely to influence sales growth were new customers, improved sales performance and new products, which remain virtually unchanged from The top trends predicted to drive sales growth are private label foods and healthy/nutritious foods. The top internal concern for participants was increasing sales and the top external concerns were food safety/traceability and the new government regulations related to the food safety and modernization act. A majority of participants (58%) did not expect to increase prices in response to the new FDA menu labeling requirements. SECTION II: COMPANY OUTLOOK Participants anticipate growth in sales and margins in % of participants anticipated increased sales in % anticipated increased net profits. Among the firms who predicted an increase in sales, the average sales increase was expected to be 21%. Among the firms who predicted an increase in net profit, the projected average increase was 16%. Respondents were categorized in two groups: large firm respondents (firms with over $50 M in annual revenue) and small firm respondents (firms with less than $50 M in annual revenue. We analyzed the company outlook of both groups separately. The results are shown below: Large Firms Small Firms All Firms Average Increase in Sales 9% 32% 21% Average Increase in Net Profit 8% 23% 16% Anticipated 2017 increase in employment 60% of participants anticipated increased employment with an average estimated increase of 14%. However, most expected that other core elements of their business would not change, with 80% of respondents indicating there will be no change in facilities (square footage) and 70% predicting no change in R&D spending. 87% of respondents also indicated no change in acquisitions (See Figure 1 on the next page). 4

Overall Healthcare Costs 51% of respondents predicted an increase over 2016, with the expected average increase being 13%. Commodity Prices 58% of respondents predicted no change over 2016, while 36% expected commodity prices to decrease.

Company Outlook: Comparisons of Average Growths in 2015, 2016 and 2017 (The percentage increase responses were limited to the firms who indicated an anticipated increase in each factor, as indicated in Figure 1). (The average growth in each factor was reported by the firms that anticipated an increase in that factor. Please note that the data for Product Lines and Fuel/Energy Costs were not captured in This accounts for the gap in data for these factors). 6
7 Factors Influencing Sales Growth Firms were asked to rank a list of internal factors influencing sales growth. New Customers, Improved Sales Performance and Increased Awareness were ranked as the top three factors. The ranking was consistent across small and large firms. The respondents were asked to rank each factor using a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the lowest and 5, the highest. The average ranking is presented in Figure 4.

9 SECTION III: COMPANY CONCERNS Internal Concerns Respondents were asked to rank their internal concerns for 2017 on a 1 to 6 scale where 6 is a major concern and 1 is not a concern. The top ranked concerns among the whole respondent group were increasing sales, improving operations and improving supply chain. Recruiting/employee retention was ranked the lowest.
