  2. What we will cover: Why Is Powered By Dairy Important? Foundation for Powered By Dairy Research What Opportunities Can Dairy Leverage Within The Energy Space? Relative Size of Prize/Opportunities Quantified

  3. Basis of Interest for “Powered By Dairy” Research Making dairy the go-to food/beverage for people who want more physical or mental energy Basis of Interest Potential Ways to Bring to Life • Idea Thought Starters: • Symbols on products to show ‘good source of protein’ • Dairy energy bars/drinks • Flavors associated with protein: peanut butter • Mental energy drinks • Fusions – milk + high protein products (granola, nuts) • Supply Chain Thought Starters: • Vending machines at health clubs, athletic centers at universities • Machines that check energy levels (similar to blood pressure machines) in food stores and then recommend high protein items to buy • Energy drink market in US was $4.8BN in 2008 • Functional drinks estimated to grow to $19BN by 2013 (160% growth from 2008) • 63% of Americans are concerned about lack of energy • 69% say ‘provides energy’ is important in determining products to buy • Chocolate milk proven to be a good recovery drink • 21% are regular energy drink users, including 43% of those ages 18–24 • Only 29% of consumers strongly agree protein is naturally found in milk; only 25% familiar to whey protein Innovation Center research compiled by GfK identified 3 dairy categories that have possible opportunities within the energy space: YOGURT MILK DAIRY INGREDIENT

  4. Team Work Plan to Uncover Opportunities Dairy MightLeverage Within The “Powered” Space What dairy opportunity can be leveraged within the energy space and who is the target consumer? TNS Landis Database Quantitative Work: • Identify potential categories focused in the “energy” arena so dairy can leverage equity and consumer acceptance Understanding the Why behind consumer needs, habits/practices, attitudes, and behavior? Help identify emerging innovative energy territories GfK Qualitative Work: • Identify consumer needs by need state/ occasion/ segments • Conduct global scan for new product innovation across energy market Quantitative & Secondary Research: • Exploration of energy claims within food & beverage within the retail channel • E.g. understandingenergy drink/shot categories Players within the “claimed” energy space?

  5. Executive Summary • Dairy has permission to play within energy space • Highest priority areas for innovation are • Regular yogurt, greek yogurt, smoothies, drinkable yogurt & low fat/skim milk • Yogurt categories show most potential to compete w/ energy categories • Uncovered preliminary roadmaps for both “close-in” and “farther-out” innovation • Closer-in growth doesn’t require new product development, rather leverages current dairy benefits • Farther-out growth requires greater innovation which can lead to higher incremental growth

  6. Executive Summary Snack universe (defined by TNS): • Regular and greek yogurt occasions have an opportunity to move into the energy space, which accounts for 21% of the snack occasions • Learnings from regular and greek yogurt can be applied to other categories such as dessert yogurt, probiotic yogurt and frozen yogurt • Relative potential for dairy-based energy snacks is $18.9 billion Beverage universe (defined by TNS): • Smoothies, drinkable yogurt and low fat/skim milk occasions have opportunity to move into the energy space, accounts for 30% of the beverage occasions • Learnings from smoothies, drinkable yogurt and low fat/skim milk can be applied to other categories such as reduced fat/calorie milkshakes, lactose free milk and organic milk • Relative potential for dairy-based energy beverages is 15.9 billion gallons

  7. Powered By Dairy: Initial Discovery

  8. Initial Discovery Uncovers Why “Powered By Dairy” Is Important To The Industry • The functional food/beverage category is a profitable market that grew 25% between 2008 - 2011 despite the recession • Energy is among the fastest growing claims with sales increasing 15% in the past year • Adults are increasingly more interested in obtaining physical and mental energy in these hectic times • Natural energy is becoming the new functional energy trend IRI Sales versus year ago (1 year ending July 15, 2012) New Nutrition Business 2011 New Nutrition Business Key Health and Nutrition Trends 2012

  36. Matrix™ Consumption UniverseMethodology Overview – Overall Food & Beverage What is the Consumption Universe? A comprehensive insight resource for food and beverage marketers, leveraging the proprietary TNS Matrix™ methodology to model how consumers see the market and make their product choices Massive scope: 24,000 consumer interviews – 360 food, beverage, and snack products/categories evaluated across 360 occasion-based needs and product benefits, plus over 50 statements defining differentiated consumer targets based on shared beliefs, behaviors, and lifestyle factors The Matrix™ Consumption Universe is designed to help you: • Understand all factors impacting consumer choice in your category – or a new category of interest • Quickly uncover bona fide gaps and opportunities grounded in consumer needs • Efficiently expand your perspective beyond traditional category definitions to identify new opportunities

  37. Survey Overview Many approaches, such as A&U’s, ask a lot of questions on a survey, the more the better, and then hope something interesting surfaces. Matrix instead leverages a consumer behavioral model to drive survey content and analytics/deliverables, and take the guesswork/risk out of research design and execution.

  38. What is a consumer target? Consumers have varied lifestyles, behaviors, tensions, and beliefs which predispose them to act in certain ways. Matrix uncovers the differentiated consumer segments which comprise your market targets – each with different beliefs, behaviors, and/or lifestyle tensions – and sizes them to aid prioritization.

  39. U.S. Consumption Universe – Consumer Segments Overview of Beliefs & Lifestyles Food Aficionados Carefree Struggling Disciplined LIVE TO EAT EAT TO LIVE Home Cookin’ Family Pleaser (10%) Upbeat Food Explorer (14%) Social Indulger (11%) Routine Convenience Seeker (10%) StressedStruggler (15%) Conflicted Stressed Manager (15%) Life-Balancing Weight Manager (11%) Wellness Proactive (13%) These women provide basic home-cooked food, and eat with their families. They are not focused on health or nutrition, and do not limit themselves or feel guilty about it. They are not impacted by daily stresses in their lives. These “foodies” are adventurous in life, cooking, and eating. They moderate their eating to maintain a healthy lifestyle and an active social life. They enjoy freshly prepared foods more than fast food or junk food. Eating is important to these younger, single men, but they rely on others to prepare foods for them – whether at home or away. Their active, busy lifestyle means they are often eating on the go, and they don’t worry about weight or health issues. For these single male consumers, food is fuel that supports their on-the-go lifestyle. Takeout and quick-cooking foods are the basis of their meals and snacks, and they rarely prepare their own food. Neither explorers nor adventurers, they regularly eat the same foods. They eat what they want without health concerns. Life is stressful for these consumers, and they lack the energy to tackle life’s challenges. Although they struggle with weight issues, they rely on easy prep or simple meals to make their families happy. They tend to stick with the “tried and true” in their food choices, and often use food for comfort. These consumers struggle to maintain a healthy weight and try to eat better, but don’t always succeed. They are focused on fresh food and nutrition, and do not rely on fast food for their meals. These consumers are mindful of health and nutrition, but struggle with weight issues and guilt about eating. Image is important to these consumers, and they take steps to exercise and look attractive, but they are not truly satisfied with how they look. Although these older consumers are lovers of food and adventurous about eating, they are proactive and disciplined in managing their food and nutrition choices. Freshness and sources of the foods they choose are important to them.
