Bilbrey President and Chief Executive Officer March 17, 2015 Dear Stockholder: The Hershey Company delivered another year of sales and earnings growth in 2014. We outperformed our confectionery peers, gaining market share in the United States and in our focus markets around the world. Net sales in 2014 increased 3.9 percent versus the previous year, resulting in annual sales of $7,421,768,000, another record year. Our adjusted earnings per share- diluted increased 7 percent to $3.98. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment in 2014, I remain confident in our long-term growth strategies. We are making meaningful progress against these strategies and we saw good examples of improving performance as the year unfolded. Our U.S. seasonal performance was solid and we gained market share in all four of the traditional seasons. Additionally, in the combined Walmart, convenience store and dollar channels, our retail takeaway increased 4.4 percent. And we are building our knowledge foundation to retain our competitive advantage. We continue to refresh and update our consumer-centric confectionery demand landscape, Insight Driven Performance tools and Shopper Insights work that have been important enablers for growth. We’re also working with some cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated models offered by select companies related to demand creation and productivity. China is quickly becoming the largest economy in the world and we are increasing our investments there to continue to support our high growth rate. Our acquisition of Shanghai Golden Monkey has positioned us for strong growth in this key market in 2015. We are also accelerating our strategy to broaden our portfolio with innovative new products, further expand into snacks and adjacencies, and analyze potential M&A targets. Hershey has been evolving for the past 120 years and we will continue to evolve and grow. We believe that as consumer wants and needs evolve in the type of food and the occasions where food is consumed, especially on the go, we have capabilities that we can leverage. Consumers are more focused on portable nutrition and are eating more through snacking, rather than meals. To take advantage of the broader snacking continuum, we will continue to explore opportunities to expand our portfolio, building on our strong confectionery heritage. For example, later this year we’ll launch Hershey’s Snack Bites and Hershey’s Snack Mix, a perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, sweet and salty. These are great ways to enter other fast-growing categories while leveraging our strong equities. 2014 was another strong year for Hershey bringing goodness to the world through its corporate citizenship. Our work resulted in several additional honors and recognition: • Recognized as one of America’s most community-minded companies in the Civic 50 rankings; No. 2 overall for social impact. • No. 46 in Newsweek’s 2014 Green Rankings; up 210 spots from last ranking. • Named again to the Dow Jones Sustainability World and North America Index. • Earned the prestigious P3 Impact Award at the Concordia Summit for CocoaLink, our West African technology program; CocoaLink honored as best public-private partnership program in the world. In 2014, 30 percent of the cocoa we sourced globally was independently certified and verified. This puts us ahead of schedule for achieving our goal of sourcing 100 percent of our cocoa from certified and sustainable cocoa farms by 2020. Given this progress, we set a new target to source at least 50 percent certified cocoa by the end of 2015, reaching our 2016 goal a full year ahead of schedule. We also launched an industry-leading palm oil sourcing policy with a commitment to source 100 percent traceable and responsible palm oil. Through our partnership with nonprofit Project Peanut Butter, we invested more than $1 million and built a manufacturing plant that produces peanut-based therapeutic food to treat children with severe malnutrition. Our global United Way employee campaign resulted in a new record for Hershey. Employees and retirees, combined with a company dollar-for-dollar match, raised more than $3 million. With more than 1,700 employees around the world volunteering during our Good to Give Back Week, an annual week of service, our employees are truly demonstrating our values and showing what shared goodness looks like. I am excited about the opportunities ahead for our business. There is significant runway for expansion in our key geographies and across our product portfolio. Our international growth continues at a strong pace. We also have great new products in the market and more slated to launch in 2015. We continue to see the benefit of Brookside Crunchy Clusters and Reese’s Spreads, launched in late 2014. Later this year, we will introduce Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Snack Bars in the Club channel, a great example of our commitment to offering products with simple ingredients. And we’re launching Kit Kat White Minis, Hershey’s Caramels, Ice Breakers Cool Blasts Chews and Reese’s Spreads Snacksters Graham Dippers in 2015. I want to thank all of our stockholders. All of us at The Hershey Company appreciate your support and dedication as we continue to create a new and lasting legacy for this great company. John P.

    Hershey’s Entry to the Australian Market with a New Brand: An Accounting and Marketing Perspective Dr. Cevdet Kızıl Yalova University | e-mail: [email protected] Valorie Eddy Southern New Hampshire University | e-mail: [email protected] Laura Clary Verizon Wireless | e-mail: [email protected] Katrina Crowell Strategic Media Inc. | e-mail: [email protected] Volume 3 No 2 (2013) | ISSN 2158-8708 (online) | DOI 10.5195/emaj.2013.43 | http://emaj.pitt.edu | http://emaj.pitt.edu Abstract This paper discusses the entry of Hershey’s Chocolates Company to the Australian market with a new brand. For this purpose, background information and key performance indicators about the firm are presented. Also target customers and market summary, market demographics and target customer profile of the firm are mentioned in the context of situational analysis. Then, Hershey’s entry to the Australian market with a new product is proposed by providing and commenting on SWOT analysis, competition environment, accounting-finance indicators, marketing strategy and marketing mix (4P) factors. Thus, a deeper focus on the organization is realized and shared. As a result, firm’s entry to the Australian market is discussed with a new product by suggesting recent and altered target customer base, customer profile, marketing strategy and marketing mix. Our study evaluates the potential disadvantages and advantages in detail and argues that there is a need for Hershey’s to enter the Australian market with a new product. In general, this article discusses and defends the entry of Hershey’s to Australian market with a new product by logical reasoning and draws a strategic roadmad to reach this goal.
