Hillshire generates over $4 billion in annual revenue of which nearly 90% is generated from meat- based products under leading brands, such as Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farms, Ballpark, Aidells and Gallo. The remaining businesses include the Sara Lee branded retail bakery products and the Chef Pierre and Sara Lee foodservice bakery products. In fiscal 2014, we expect the company to generate revenue, EBITDA and earnings per share of $4.0 billion, $521 million and $1.75, respectively. We recommend shares of Hillshire Brands: - Hillshire competes today in mostly meat-centric categories, such as breakfast and smoked sausages, frozen breakfast meals, hot dogs and lunchmeat with retail sales totaling $13.8 billion.
