122 Methodology The Hunt Global Lists represent the concerted effort of Hunt Ex- ecutive Search to present a focused, comprehensive, and accurate ranking of the industry leaders who operate in the consumer goods markets. The definition of consumer goods, CPG and FMCG might mean different things to different people and may be inclusive or ex- clusive of certain industries. This variable necessitates further deline- ation to gain full understanding of the space, which is why in The Hunt Global Lists include Top 100’s in different categories. Our methodology for collecting, and sorting this data is relatively straight forward. For publicly held companies, we utilized information gathered from most recent annual reporting’s and SEC filings, and cross reference with other public stock information. For privately held companies, we rely on a variety of data at our disposal to publish a “best estimate.” This data is gathered from key company executives, press releases, and additional published and non-published information. While these estimates may not be absolutely accurate to the dollar, they do allow us to appropriately position these companies and provide a more comprehensive look into the Consumer Goods markets than if they were otherwise excluded. Companies are ranked by total Net Revenue/Sales/Turnover. A com- pany qualifies for these lists if any portion of their business is catego- rizes as Consumer Goods. Heather Whaley, Principal - Hunt Executive Search, Inc. - hwhaley@huntsearch.com
Methodology cont. The Hunt Global 200 is inclusive of companies whom derived sales from the manufacturing of any of the following: Fast Moving Con- sumer Goods, Food and/or Beverage, Consumer Health, Personal Care/Beauty, and Household Products, but may exclude consumer durables such as apparel, appliances, games, jewelry, etc. Please note, the afore listed categories are simply representative and not compre- hensive. Information regarding the methodology of the category specific lists can be found at the conclusion of each list. All revenues are published in $US Dollars. Any conversions from foreign currencies were made using the exchange rates from the most recent quarter from which we updated the company data. While the rates admittedly fluctuated, they did not experience enough move- ment to significantly affect the data or positioning of the affected companies. Any revenue growth reported, in terms of both percentage and gross change, does not factor in any changes regarding the relative strength of the currency in which they were reported. Our calculations use specific financial data only. Any additional inferences made regard- ing growth relative to currency strength or any other variables are at the reader’s discretion. While our research is thorough, and the data reported is accurate to the best of our knowledge, it is not guaranteed to be without error or omission. It should not be used for investment purposes or other business decisions. 123 Heather Whaley, Principal - Hunt Executive Search, Inc. - hwhaley@huntsearch.com

    122 Methodology The Hunt GlobalLists represent the concerted effort of Hunt Ex- ecutive Search to present a focused, comprehensive, and accurate ranking of the industry leaders who operate in the consumer goods markets. The definition of consumer goods, CPG and FMCG might mean different things to different people and may be inclusive or ex- clusive of certain industries. This variable necessitates further deline- ation to gain full understanding of the space, which is why in The Hunt Global Lists include Top 100’s in different categories. Our methodology for collecting, and sorting this data is relatively straight forward. For publicly held companies, we utilized information gathered from most recent annual reporting’s and SEC filings, and cross reference with other public stock information. For privately held companies, we rely on a variety of data at our disposal to publish a “best estimate.” This data is gathered from key company executives, press releases, and additional published and non-published information. While these estimates may not be absolutely accurate to the dollar, they do allow us to appropriately position these companies and provide a more comprehensive look into the Consumer Goods markets than if they were otherwise excluded. Companies are ranked by total Net Revenue/Sales/Turnover. A com- pany qualifies for these lists if any portion of their business is catego- rizes as Consumer Goods.

    Methodology cont. The HuntGlobal 200 is inclusive of companies whom derived sales from the manufacturing of any of the following: Fast Moving Con- sumer Goods, Food and/or Beverage, Consumer Health, Personal Care/Beauty, and Household Products, but may exclude consumer durables such as apparel, appliances, games, jewelry, etc. Please note, the afore listed categories are simply representative and not compre- hensive. Information regarding the methodology of the category specific lists can be found at the conclusion of each list. All revenues are published in $US Dollars. Any conversions from foreign currencies were made using the exchange rates from the most recent quarter from which we updated the company data. While the rates admittedly fluctuated, they did not experience enough move- ment to significantly affect the data or positioning of the affected companies. Any revenue growth reported, in terms of both percentage and gross change, does not factor in any changes regarding the relative strength of the currency in which they were reported. Our calculations use specific financial data only. Any additional inferences made regard- ing growth relative to currency strength or any other variables are at the reader’s discretion. While our research is thorough, and the data reported is accurate to the best of our knowledge, it is not guaranteed to be without error or omission. It should not be used for investment purposes or other business decisions. 123 Heather Whaley, Principal - Hunt Executive Search, Inc. - hwhaley@huntsearch.com
