(1) For information about the impairment of goodwill, see "Critical Accounting Estimates" and Notes 2 and 8 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 21, 2025 and incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum.

(2) We completed the PPI acquisition in March 2025 and the 8th Avenue acquisition in July 2025. The amounts included in cash paid for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, reflect the cash consideration paid less any cash acquired in the transactions and include $124.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2025 related to the PPI acquisition and $795.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2025 related to the 8th Avenue acquisition.

(3) As used herein, EBITDA represents net earnings plus interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is commonly reported and frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. In addition, management understands that investors, analysts and rating agencies consider EBITDA useful in measuring the ability of issuers of "high yield" securities to meet debt service obligations. Our management believes EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity because cash expenditures on interest are, by definition, available to pay interest, and income taxes are inversely correlated to interest expense. Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.

The indenture that will govern the notes and the indentures governing our other senior notes and the credit agreement use EBITDA (with additional adjustments similar to those discussed below regarding our calculation of "Adjusted EBITDA") to measure our compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and debt incurrence. Our management also believes EBITDA is an accepted indicator of our ability to incur and service debt and make capital

------

expenditures. We believe that EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• it does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations, as discussed under "Adjusted EBITDA" below; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative benchmark measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.

The following table reconciles net earnings to EBITDA for the periods indicated:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended September 30,** | **Year Ended September 30,** | **Year Ended September 30,** |
| | **2023** | **2024** | **2025** |
| | (**in millions**) | (**in millions**) | (**in millions**) |
| Net earnings | $301.0 | $366.0 | $335.0 |
| Income tax expense | 99.7 | 105.1 | 108.7 |
| Interest expense, net | 279.1 | 316.5 | 361.4 |
| Depreciation and amortization | 407.1 | 476.9 | 524.3 |
| **EBITDA** | $1087.0 | $1265.2 | $1330.0 |

---

(4) We present Adjusted EBITDA as a further supplemental measure of our operating performance and ability to service debt. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA to eliminate the impact of a number of items that are non-cash items, unusual items which we do not expect to recur or continue at the same level or other items which we do not believe to be reflective of our ongoing operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA, including the fact that we may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than other companies in our industry. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

(5) "Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA" represents a further supplemental measure of our operating performance and ability to service debt. We prepare Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA by further adjusting Adjusted EBITDA to give effect to recent acquisitions as if those acquisitions had occurred on October 1, 2024, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The PPI acquisition was completed effective March 3, 2025. Our results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 include approximately seven months of financial results attributable to PPI. Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 includes management's estimate of the pre-acquisition EBITDA for PPI for the period October 1, 2024 to March 2, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The 8th Avenue acquisition was completed effective July 1, 2025. Our results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 include three months of financial results attributable to 8th Avenue. Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 includes management's estimate of the pre-acquisition EBITDA for 8th Avenue for the period October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 and does not give effect to our pending pasta business sale.

Management's estimates of the pre-acquisition EBITDA of PPI and 8th Avenue, and the other financial data presented in this offering memorandum for such acquisitions, are based on the financial statements that were prepared by their respective prior management and do not include any contributions from synergies or cost savings that our management expects to achieve in the future. EBITDA of PPI and 8th Avenue are based on reasonable assumptions and information management believes to be reliable and accurate and represent management's good faith estimates that are made on the basis of such assumptions and information. These financial statements and the reconciliations below have not been audited or reviewed, examined, compiled or subject to agreed upon procedures by our independent registered public accounting firm. Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA has not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X or any other securities laws relating to the presentation of pro forma financial information. Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA and the related ratios are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been if the acquisition had been completed as of an earlier date or that may be achieved in the future.

**Post Holdings Announces Commencement of Senior Notes Offering** 

**ST. LOUIS, December 1, 2025** - Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST) (the "Company" or "Post") today announced it intends to commence a private offering to eligible purchasers, subject to market and other conditions, of $1,300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2036 (the "Notes"). The Notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by the Company's existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries, certain excluded subsidiaries and subsidiaries designated as unrestricted subsidiaries).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering to pay the costs, fees and expenses associated with the Notes offering and to redeem all of the Company's outstanding 5.50% senior notes due 2029, including payment of any premiums, fees, costs and expenses associated therewith. To the extent there are any remaining net proceeds, the Company intends to use such proceeds for general corporate purposes, which could include, among other things, acquisitions, retirement or repayment of existing debt, share repurchases, capital expenditures and working capital. The final terms and amounts of the Notes are subject to market and other conditions and may be materially different than expectations. The offering is not conditioned upon the consummation of the redemption of the Company's 5.50% senior notes due 2029, which is expected to occur after December 15, 2025.

The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees are being offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in an offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall there be any sales of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any jurisdiction. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act. This press release is not a notice of redemption with respect to the Company's 5.50% senior notes due 2029.
