NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

(Unaudited)

Unless otherwise indicated, references in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to “we,” “us,” “our,” “WhiteWave,” or the “Company” refer to The WhiteWave Foods Company’s operations, taken as a whole.

1. General

Nature of Our Business — We are a leading consumer packaged food and beverage company focused on high-growth product categories that are aligned with emerging consumer trends. We manufacture, market, distribute, and sell branded plant-based foods and beverages, coffee creamers and beverages, and premium dairy products throughout North America and Europe. Our brands distributed in North America include Silk plant-based foods and beverages, International Delight and LAND O LAKES coffee creamers and beverages, and Horizon Organic premium dairy products, while our European brands of plant-based foods and beverages include Alpro and Provamel.

Basis of Presentation — The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2013. In our opinion, we have made all necessary adjustments (which generally include normal recurring adjustments) in order to present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 may not be indicative of our operating results for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

For periods prior to the completion of our initial public offering on October 31, 2012, our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and derived from Dean Foods Company’s (“Dean Foods”) consolidated financial statements and accounting records using the historical results of operations, and assets and liabilities attributed to our operations, and include allocations of expenses from Dean Foods. Our consolidated and segment results are not necessarily indicative of our future performance and do not reflect what our financial performance would have been had we been a stand-alone public company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Prior to completion of our initial public offering, Dean Foods provided certain corporate services to us, and costs associated with these functions have been allocated to us. These allocations include costs related to corporate services, such as executive management, supply chain, information technology, legal, finance and accounting, investor relations, human resources, risk management, tax, treasury, and other services, as well as share-based compensation expense attributable to our employees and an allocation of share-based compensation attributable to employees of Dean Foods. The costs of such services were allocated to us based on the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on relative percentage of total net sales, relative percentage of headcount, or specific identification. The total amount of these allocations from Dean Foods was approximately $14.4 million and $23.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These allocations include $4.0 million of transaction costs incurred in the second quarter of 2012 related to our initial public offering. These cost allocations are primarily reflected within general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as well as classified as “Corporate and other” in Note 13 “Segment, Geographic, and Customer Information.” Management believes the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by us during the periods presented. Dean Foods continues to provide some of these services on a transitional basis for a fee.

Upon completion of our initial public offering, we assumed responsibility for the costs of these functions. The allocations may not reflect the expense we would have incurred as a stand-alone public company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone public company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in certain areas.

Prior to completion of our initial public offering, total equity represented Dean Foods’ interest in our recorded net assets. Dean Foods’ net investment balance represented the cumulative net investment by Dean Foods in us through October 31, 2012, including any prior net income or loss or other comprehensive income or loss attributed to us and contributions received from or distributions made to Dean Foods. Certain transactions between us and other related parties that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Dean Foods, including allocated expenses and settlement of intercompany transactions, are also included in Dean Foods’ net investment.

We were allocated a portion of Dean Foods’ consolidated debt based on amounts directly incurred by us to fund the acquisition of Alpro in July 2009. Prior to completion of our initial public offering, interest expense had been allocated based on the historical interest rates of the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility during each period presented, as this revolver was drawn to fund the Alpro acquisition. Debt issuance costs were allocated in the same proportion as the debt. In connection with our initial public offering, the allocated portion of the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility was settled as a contribution to our capital from Dean Foods. Management believes the basis of historical allocation for debt, interest expense and debt issuance costs is reasonable. However, these amounts may not be indicative of the actual amounts that we would have incurred had we been a stand-alone public company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. See Note 7 “Debt and Allocated Portion of Dean Foods’ Debt.”

Certain reclassifications of previously reported assets, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures have been made to conform to the current year presentation in Note 13 “Segment, Geographic, and Customer Information.” These reclassifications did not impact previously reported amounts on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Completion of Spin-Off from Dean Foods— On May 23, 2013, Dean Foods distributed (the “Distribution”) to its stockholders an aggregate of 47,686,000 shares of our Class A common stock and 67,914,000 shares of our Class B common stock as a pro rata dividend to Dean Foods stockholders at the close of business on May 17, 2013, the record date for the Distribution. Effective upon the Distribution, and in accordance with the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we reduced the number of votes per share of our Class B common stock with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, other than the election and removal of directors, to one vote per share.

Prior to the Distribution, Dean Foods converted 82,086,000 shares of our Class B common stock into 82,086,000 shares of our Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, of which 47,686,000 shares of Class A common stock were distributed to Dean Foods stockholders in the Distribution. As a result of and immediately after the Distribution, Dean Foods owns 34,400,000 shares of our Class A Common stock and no shares of our Class B common stock. Under the terms of the separation and distribution agreement, Dean Foods is required to dispose of any remaining ownership interest in us within three years of the Distribution, or May 23, 2016. However, on July 25, 2013 Dean Foods disposed of all of its remaining 34,400,000 shares of our Class A common stock in a registered public offering. As a result of and immediately after the closing of this offering, Dean Foods no longer owns any shares of our common stock and has no ownership interest in us. We did not receive any proceeds from this offering.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the disclosure requirements regarding the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendment does not change the current requirement for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but requires additional disclosures about items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, including changes in balances by component, significant items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items impacted by the reclassifications. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2013. See Note 10 “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.” Other than the additional disclosure requirements, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Transactions with Morningstar Foods, LLC (“Morningstar”)

On January 3, 2013 Dean Foods sold Morningstar to an unaffiliated third party, and therefore Morningstar is no longer considered a related party. In connection with this sale, we modified certain of the commercial agreements between us and Morningstar. These modifications, with the exception of the Morningstar Asset Purchase Agreement, are primarily timing modifications and will not have a material impact on our results of operations.

Morningstar Asset Purchase Agreement

In connection with Dean Foods’ sale of Morningstar, we agreed to terminate an option to purchase plant capacity and property at a Morningstar facility, sell to Morningstar certain manufacturing equipment used to produce certain WhiteWave products, and execute certain other transactions. The agreement was executed on December 2, 2012, but became effective on January 3, 2013, immediately prior to the completion of Dean Foods’ sale of Morningstar, and we received proceeds of $60 million as consideration. This transaction was accounted for as a contribution to equity and a purchase by Dean Foods. The proceeds were used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under the senior secured credit facilities.

Transitional Sales Agreements

In connection with and effective as of our initial public offering, we entered into an agreement with Morningstar, a then wholly-owned Dean Foods subsidiary, pursuant to which Morningstar transfers back to us responsibility for sales and associated costs of certain WhiteWave products over a term of up to nine months after the completion of the Morningstar sale. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, Morningstar provided certain transitional services to us which include, but are not limited to, taking and filling orders, collecting receivables, and shipping products to our customers. Morningstar remits to us the cash representing the net profit collected from these product sales until such time as the sales are transitioned to us. The net effect of the agreement is reflected as transitional sales fees of $1.8 million in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The sales transition was substantially completed during the early part of the second quarter.

We also entered into an agreement with Morningstar pursuant to which we will transfer to Morningstar responsibility for the sales and associated costs of our aerosol whipped topping and other non-core products over a 15-month term. During this term, we will provide certain transitional services to Morningstar which include, but are not limited to, taking and filling orders, collecting receivables and shipping products to customers. We will remit to Morningstar the net profit associated with these product sales until such time as the sales are transitioned to Morningstar. The net fees remitted for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $0.7 million. The services transition was substantially completed during the early part of the second quarter.

3. Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

Hero Group (“Hero”) Joint Venture

In the second quarter of 2011, we began evaluating strategic alternatives related to our joint venture with Hero. During the third quarter of 2011, due to continued poor performance by the venture and a desire on our part to invest in core operations, a recommendation was made to, and approved by, the joint venture partners, to wind down the joint venture operations during the fourth quarter of 2011. In conjunction with this action plan, we wrote down the value of the joint venture’s long-lived assets to fair value less costs to sell as of September 30, 2011. At the end of 2012, the Hero joint venture wind down was completed.

4. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of our intangible assets other than goodwill as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Amortization expense on finite-lived intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense on finite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Estimated aggregate finite-lived intangible asset amortization expense for the next five years is as follows (in millions):

6. Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes has been prepared on a separate return basis as if the Company was a stand-alone entity for periods prior to the Distribution. Prior to the Distribution, the Company was included in the Dean Foods’ U.S. consolidated federal income tax return and also files some U.S. state income tax returns on a combined basis with Dean Foods. For periods subsequent to the Distribution, the Company will file its own U.S. federal and state income tax returns. Our foreign subsidiaries file local income tax returns in the jurisdictions in which they operate.

For each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year and applies that rate to income from continuing operations before income taxes for the period. Additionally, the Company records discrete income tax items in the period in which they are incurred.

Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 31.2% and 35.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 33.4% and 34.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 was lower than the same periods in 2012 due to the impact of non-deductible transaction costs in 2012. In addition, the effective tax rate for the second quarter in 2013 was reduced by a state tax adjustment. Changes in the relative profitability of our operating segments, as well as changes to federal, state, and foreign tax laws, may cause the rate to change from historical rates.

7. Debt and Allocated Portion of Dean Foods’ Debt

Our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:

Table of Contents

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On October 12, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement, among us, the subsidiary guarantors listed therein, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement governs our senior secured credit facilities, which consist of a five-year revolving credit facility in a principal amount of $850 million, an original five-year $250 million term loan A-1, and an original seven-year $250 million term loan A-2. The revolving credit facility makes available up to $75 million of letters of credit and up to $75 million of swing line loans. On October 31, 2012, we incurred approximately $885 million in indebtedness under these facilities and subsequently used a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to repay a portion of the revolving credit facility. We also capitalized $12.4 million of deferred financing fees, which will be amortized over the term of the respective credit or term loan facility. Deferred financing fees are included in identifiable intangible and other assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Receivables-Backed Facility

In 2004, we began participating in Dean Foods’ receivables-backed facility. We sold certain of our accounts receivable to a wholly-owned entity that is intended to be bankruptcy-remote. The entity transferred the receivables to third-party asset-backed commercial paper conduits sponsored by major financial institutions. The securitization was treated as borrowing for accounting purposes. We were the beneficiary and obligor for all borrowings and repayments under our portion of the Dean Foods facility. On September 28, 2011, Dean Foods amended the terms of the agreement to extend the liquidity termination date to September 25, 2013, to include the ability to issue letters of credit of up to $300 million under the facility, and to amend certain other terms.

In the six months ended June 30, 2012, we borrowed $117.5 million and subsequently repaid $121.0 million under the facility. Effective September 1, 2012, we are no longer a participant in the Dean Foods receivables-backed facility.

Alpro Revolving Credit Facility

Our Alpro operations have access to a multi-currency revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of €1 million (or its currency equivalent). The facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by various Alpro subsidiaries. Use of the proceeds under the facility is for working capital and other general corporate purposes of Alpro. The subsidiary revolving credit facility is available for the issuance of up to €1 million (or its currency equivalent) of letters of credit. On May 22, 2013, we renewed this facility under substantially similar terms. No principal payments are due under the subsidiary revolving credit facility until maturity on May 22, 2014. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under the facility.

Allocated Portion of Dean Foods’ Debt (Senior Secured Credit Facility)

On July 2, 2009, we were allocated $440.3 million from the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility to fund our acquisition of Alpro. Prior to completion of our initial public offering, interest expense had been allocated based on the historical interest rates of the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility and totaled $3.0 million and $6.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Debt issuance costs were allocated in the same proportion as debt and recorded as a non-current asset included in our consolidated balance sheets. Upon completion of our initial public offering, the principal balances associated with this allocated portion of the Dean Foods senior secured credit facility were settled as a contribution to our capital from Dean Foods. Our guarantee of Dean Foods’ senior secured credit facility also terminated upon completion of our initial public offering. See Note 14 “Related Party Transactions — Guarantees.”

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rates

In connection with our initial public offering, on October 31, 2012, Dean Foods novated to us certain of its interest rate swaps (the “2017 swaps”) with a notional value of $650 million and a maturity date of March 31, 2017. We are now the sole counterparty to the financial institutions under these swap agreements and are directly responsible for any required future settlements, and the sole beneficiary of any future receipts of funds, pursuant to their terms. We are subject to market risk with respect to changes in the underlying benchmark interest rate that impact the fair value of the interest rate swaps.

11

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the terms of the interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2013:

We have not designated such contracts as hedging instruments; therefore, the interest rate swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period and a derivative asset or liability is recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Gains on these contracts were $8.2 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and are recorded in other (income) expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. A summary of these open swap agreements recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is included in the table below.

Credit risk under these arrangements is believed to be remote as the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements are major financial institutions; however, if any of the counterparties to the swap agreements become unable to fulfill their obligation, we may lose the financial benefits of these arrangements.

Commodities

We are exposed to commodity price fluctuations, including milk, organic and non-genetically modified (“non-GMO”) soybeans, almonds, butterfat, sweeteners, and other commodity costs used in the manufacturing, packaging, and distribution of our products, including utilities, natural gas, resin, and diesel fuel. To secure adequate supplies of materials and bring greater stability to the cost of ingredients and their related manufacturing, packaging, and distribution, we routinely enter into forward purchase contracts and other purchase arrangements with suppliers. Under the forward purchase contracts, we commit to purchasing agreed-upon quantities of ingredients and commodities at agreed-upon prices at specified future dates. The outstanding purchase commitment for these commodities at any point in time typically ranges from one month’s to one year’s anticipated requirements, depending on the ingredient or commodity. These contracts are considered normal purchases.

In addition to entering into forward purchase contracts, from time to time we may purchase over-the-counter contracts from our qualified financial institutions for commodities associated with the production and distribution of our products. Certain of the contracts offset the risk of increases in our commodity costs and are designated as cash flow hedges when appropriate. There was no material hedge ineffectiveness related to our commodities contracts designated as hedging instruments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. A summary of our open commodities contracts recorded at fair value in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is included in the table below.

Although we may utilize forward purchase contracts and other instruments to mitigate the risks related to commodity price fluctuation, such strategies do not fully mitigate commodity price risk. Adverse movements in commodity prices over the terms of the contracts or instruments could decrease the economic benefits we derive from these strategies.

Foreign Currency

Our international operations represented approximately 24% and 17% of our long-lived assets and net sales, respectively, as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Sales in foreign countries, as well as certain expenses related to those sales, are transacted in currencies other than our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. Our foreign currency exchange rate risk is primarily limited to the Euro and the British Pound. We may, from time to time, employ derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates or enter into forward currency exchange contracts to hedge our net investment and intercompany payable or receivable balances in foreign operations.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, derivatives recorded at fair value in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

Table of Contents

Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Based on current exchange rates and commodity prices, we estimate that $0.1 million of hedging activity related to our foreign currency contracts and $0.1 million of hedging activity related to our commodities contracts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income within the next 12 months.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering assumptions, we follow a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

A summary of our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows:
