**Post Holdings to Acquire 8th Avenue Food & Provisions; Updates Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Acquisition expands strategically important categories to deepen portfolio price-point diversification**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Clear line-of-sight to business and synergy potential**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Accretive to Post's free cash flow\***

*\* For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, see the related explanations presented under "Use of Non-GAAP Measures" later in this release.*

**St. Louis – June 3, 2025** – Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: Post) ("Post"), a consumer packaged goods holding company, announced today it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, Inc. ("8th Avenue"). Post will extinguish the outstanding net debt of 8th Avenue and acquire all equity interests for a net payment of approximately $880 million. 8th Avenue's categories include branded and private label dry pasta and private label nut butters, granola, and fruit & nut.

"With this acquisition, we further our strategy of tactical private label positioning alongside leading brands. I am pleased to welcome back the approximately 1,580 employees of 8th Avenue who will join us as Post colleagues," said Rob Vitale, President and Chief Executive Officer of Post.

The acquisition internalizes the manufacturing of Post's *Peter Pan*<sup>®</sup> peanut butter, represents Post's entry into the dry pasta category with leading brand *Ronzoni*<sup>®</sup> and enables greater participation in the growing granola sub-category of ready-to-eat cereal. The acquisition is expected to be completed on July 1, 2025, Post's fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, subject to closing conditions.

**Financial Details**

Post will acquire 8th Avenue for approximately $880 million, which includes the assumption of $111 million of finance leases. The remainder of the purchase price will be paid in cash to retire existing debt, including 8th Avenue's First Lien Term Loan, First Lien Incremental Term Loan, Second Lien Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, and to acquire the remaining preferred and common equity interests in 8th Avenue not currently owned by Post. Post expects to fund the purchase price with a combination of cash on hand and through borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility. The acquisition is expected to modestly increase leverage; upon closing of the acquisition, Post's acquisition adjusted net leverage ratio is expected to be approximately 4.6x.

Upon closing of the acquisition, the financial results of 8th Avenue will be reported in the Post Consumer Brands segment. Post management expects 8th Avenue to contribute approximately $115 million of Adjusted EBITDA\* in the next twelve months following the close of the acquisition, before the realization of cost synergies, which Post management expects to be at an annual run rate of approximately $15 million by the end of fiscal year 2026. Post management expects 8th Avenue to generate incremental free cash flow, complementing Post's cash generation-focused business model and preserving Post's capital allocation flexibility.

**Outlook**

Contingent on the closure of the acquisition of 8th Avenue on July 1, 2025, Post management updated its guidance range for fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to $1,460-$1,500 million from $1,430-$1,470 million.

------

Post provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP guidance measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. For additional information regarding Post's non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under "Use of Non-GAAP Measures."

**Use of Non-GAAP Measures**

In this release, Post discloses its expectations as to the effect of the acquisition of 8th Avenue on Post's Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow and provides an updated fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA outlook for Post assuming the completion of the acquisition on July 1, 2025. Post uses Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, both of which are non-GAAP measures, in this release to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure which represents cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Post management uses certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, as key metrics in the evaluation of underlying company and segment performance, in making financial, operating and planning decisions, and, in part, in the determination of bonuses for its executive officers and employees. Additionally, Post is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Post management believes the use of non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, provides increased transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of Post and its segments and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. In addition, Post management believes that free cash flow is useful to investors in evaluating Post's ability to service debt and repurchase shares of its common stock.

Because Post discusses Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow in this release only in relation to Post management's expectations of the future effect of the acquisition of 8th Avenue on these non-GAAP measures, Post has not provided a reconciliation of these forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow expectations to the mostly directly comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for income/expense on swaps, net, integration and transaction costs, mark-to-market adjustments on equity security investments, mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, net, equity method investment adjustment and other charges reflected in Post's reconciliations of historical numbers, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

**Prospective Financial Information**

Prospective financial information is necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the prospective financial information described above will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. For further discussion of some of the factors that may cause actual results to vary materially from the information provided above, see "Forward-Looking Statements" below. Accordingly, the prospective financial information provided above is only an estimate of what Post management believes is realizable as of the date of this release. It also should be recognized that the reliability of any forecasted financial data diminishes the further in the future that the data is forecasted. In light of the foregoing, the information should be viewed in context and undue reliance should not be placed upon it.

Post's acquisition adjusted net leverage ratio is based on Post's Total Net Leverage Ratio, as such term is defined in Post's credit agreement, as amended, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Post's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 26, 2024. Post's Total Net Leverage Ratio is utilized as a measure of ability to service debt.

**Forward Looking Statements**

Certain matters discussed in this release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of

------

release, and as such, are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding Post's expected synergies and benefits from its acquisition of 8th Avenue, statements regarding how the financial results for 8th Avenue will be reported in Post's financial statements after the closing of the acquisition, Post's updated fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA outlook assuming the completion of the acquisition on July 1, 2025, the forecasted Adjusted EBITDA of 8th Avenue, expectations about the impact of the acquisition on Post's net leverage and cash flows, expectations about future business plans and prospective performance and opportunities for 8th Avenue and the expected timing of the completion of the acquisition. These forward-looking statements may be identified from the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believe," "should," "could," "potential," "continue," "expect," "project," "estimate," "predict," "anticipate," "aim," "intend," "plan," "forecast," "target," "is likely," "will," "can," "may" or "would" or the negative of these terms or similar expressions, and include all statements regarding future performance, earnings projections, events or developments. There is no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated, and there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability and timing to consummate the proposed acquisition of 8th Avenue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Post's ability to promptly and effectively integrate 8th Avenue after the acquisition has closed, and Post's ability to obtain expected cost savings and synergies of the acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Post's ability to identify, complete and integrate or otherwise effectively execute acquisitions or other strategic transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the loss of, a significant reduction of purchases by or the bankruptcy of a major customer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• differences in Post's actual operating results from any of its guidance regarding Post's future performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impairment in the carrying value of goodwill, other intangibles or long-lived assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks associated with Post's international businesses;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• business disruption or other losses from changes in governmental administrations, political instability, terrorism, war or armed hostilities or geopolitical tensions;

Additional Information Non-GAAP Financial Measures Post uses Adjusted EBITDA, an illustrative purchase price multiple and free cash flow, all of which are non-GAAP measures, in this presentation to supplement financial measures prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure which represents cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. The illustrative purchase price multiple is a non-GAAP measure which represents the purchase price for the acquisition divided by the post-synergies Adjusted EBITDA for the acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA, the illustrative purchase price multiple and free cash flow are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, as key metrics in the evaluation of underlying company and segment performance, in making financial, operating and planning decisions, and, in part, in the determination of bonuses for executive officers and employees. Additionally, Post is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, provides increased transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of Post and Post's segments and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Post considers Adjusted EBITDA an important supplemental measure of performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is often used to assess performance because it allows comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of various items. Post considers the illustrative purchase price multiple an important supplemental measure of a business's valuation. Post considers free cash flow an important supplemental measure of ability to service debt and repurchase shares. Adjusted EBITDA, the illustrative purchase price multiple and free cash flow have various limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. In this presentation, Post provides its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal year 2025 and discloses its expectations as to the Adjusted EBITDA of 8th Avenue for the next twelve months, 8th Avenue's forecasted post-synergies Adjusted EBITDA, the illustrative purchase price multiple and the effect of the acquisition on Post's Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow only on a non-GAAP basis. Post does not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of Post's forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow prior to and after the completion of the acquisition, 8th Avenue's forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, 8th Avenue's forecasted post-synergies Adjusted EBITDA and the illustrative purchase price multiple to the most directly comparable GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for income/expense on swaps, net, integration and transaction costs, mark-to- market adjustments on equity security investments, mark-to-market adjustments on commodity and foreign exchange hedges, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, net, equity method investment adjustment and other charges reflected in Post's reconciliations of historical numbers, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be significant. 4

8th Avenue Food & Provisions, Inc: History and Strategic Rationale 7 • In 2018, Post partnered with private equity to form 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, Inc. ("8th Avenue") • In exchange for contributing its private label nut butter, pasta and granola businesses, Post received after-tax proceeds of ~$870mm while retaining some residual common equity • 8th Avenue's strategy was to execute a roll-up of additional M&A opportunities – it subsequently made acquisitions in both peanut butter and pasta (Ronzoni) • During COVID, 8th Avenue and many other private label businesses came under pressure, which challenged its capital structure • Despite an operating performance rebound since COVID, the capital structure remained under pressure • The lack of acquisition capacity hindered 8th Avenue's ability to execute on its M&A strategy in its current form • Post's acquisition of 8th Avenue will provide further depth in strategic categories at an attractive valuation • Secures Post's Peter Pan nut butter supply and enables Post to become more meaningful to retail partners in the category • Granola is a growing sub-category within the broader cereal category(1), complementing existing business • Entry into dry pasta enables Post to operate at multiple price points (both branded and private label) from a strong supply position, similar to cereal and nut butter businesses • Purchase price multiple of below 7x 8th Avenue's forecasted post-synergies Adjusted EBITDA(2) represents an attractive capital allocation opportunity, providing for meaningful free cash flow accretion Note: Please refer to "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Additional Information – Prospective Financial Information" in this presentation. 1.
