Customers

The company generally sells to these customers through its direct sales force.

Trademarks and Patents

The company’s products are marketed under a variety of valuable trademarks. Some of the more important trademarks used in the company’s global operations (set forth in italics in this report) include Annie’s, Betty Crocker, Bisquick, Blue Buffalo, Bugles, Cascadian Farm, Cheerios, Chex, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Cookie Crisp, Dunkaroos, Edgard & Cooper, Fiber One, Fruit by the Foot, Fruit Gushers, Fruit Roll-Ups, Gardetto’s, Gold Medal, Golden Grahams, Häagen-Dazs, Kitano, Kix, Lärabar, Latina, Lucky Charms, Muir Glen, Nature Valley, Nudges, Oatmeal Crisp, Old El Paso, Pillsbury, Progresso, Tastefuls, Tiki Pets, Total , Totino’s, Trix, True Chews, True Solutions, Wanchai Ferry, Wheaties, Wilderness, and Yoki.

Some of the company’s products are marketed under or in combination with trademarks that have been licensed from others for both long-standing products (e.g., Reese’s Puffs for cereal, Green Giant for vegetables in certain countries, and Yoplait and related brands for fresh dairy in the United States), and shorter-term promotional products (e.g., fruit snacks sold under various third party equities).

The company’s cereal trademarks are licensed to CPW and may be used in association with the Nestlé trademark. Nestlé licenses certain of its trademarks to CPW, including the Nestlé and Uncle Toby’s trademarks. The Häagen-Dazs trademark is licensed royalty-free and exclusively to Nestlé and authorized sublicensees for ice cream and other frozen dessert products in the United States and Canada.

Seasonality

In general, demand for the company’s products is evenly balanced throughout the year. However, within the company’s North America Retail segment demand for refrigerated dough, frozen baked goods, and baking products is stronger in the fourth calendar quarter (year ended May 2025). Demand for Progresso soup is higher during the fall and winter months. Within the company’s International segment, demand for Häagen-Dazsice cream is higher during the summer months and demand for baking mix increases during winter months. Due to the offsetting impact of these demand trends, as well as the different seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres, the company’s International segment’s net sales are generally evenly balanced throughout the year.

In the United States, the company’s activities are subject to regulation by various federal government agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, Department of Agriculture, Federal Trade Commission, Department of Commerce, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and Environmental Protection Agency, as well as various federal, state, and local agencies relating to the production, packaging, labelling, marketing, storage, distribution, quality, and safety of food and pet products and the health and safety of the company’s employees.
