Post Holdings, Inc. Delays Announcement of Second Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial Results

St. Louis, U.S.A., May 16, 2012 (Thomson Reuters ONE via COMTEX) –St. Louis, Missouri – May 16, 2012 – As previously announced, Post Holdings, Inc. is restating its financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011 and the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011 as a result of Ralcorp Holding, Inc.’s restatement. Ralcorp has now postponed the release of its financial results and the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended March 31, 2012 in order to conclude both the internal and external in-depth reviews associated with its previously announced financial restatements. While Post management is not participating in Ralcorp’s review process, Post management is not aware of any issues from such review which would affect Post beyond the goodwill impairment charge previously reported. However, because Post was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ralcorp and subject to Ralcorp’s accounting and financial reporting processes during the periods affected by this review, there can be no assurance that Post will not be further impacted. Until Ralcorp completes its restatement, Post is not in a position to proceed with the announcement of its second quarter financial results, the filings necessary to effectuate the restatement or its Form 10-Q for the second quarter.

Accordingly, Post is also postponing its second quarter 2012 conference call previously scheduled to take place on Monday, May 21, 2012. Specific details regarding the date and time of the Company’s second quarter earnings release and conference call will be announced separately. The Company intends to file a Form 8-K/A and Form 10-Q/A in order to complete the restatement of these financial statements, issue second quarter financial results and file the Company’s second quarter Form 10-Q upon Ralcorp’s completion of its review.
