		<description><![CDATA[The Hershey Company (HSY) posted first quarter 2012 adjusted earnings of 96 cents a share, handsomely beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 81 cents. Also, earnings jumped 31.5% from the prior-year quarter, driven by solid revenues and improved margins despite rising input costs and a difficult macro-economic environment. Quarter in Detail Hershey’s net sales of $1.7 billion rose 10.7% from the prior-year quarter, mainly buoyed by increased pricing. Benefits from pricing (10.9 percentage points) ) and the January 2012 acquisition of Canadian confectionary company, Brookside Foods (0.7 points) were partially offset by volume declines (0.5 points) and foreign exchange headwinds (0.4 points). However, decline in volume was significantly lower than company expectations due to a solid Easter season. Quarterly sales also beat the Zacks Consensus Revenue Estimate of $1.66 billion. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hershey Company (HSY) reported results for the third quarter with earnings of 73 cents per share. Earnings were 6 cents above the Zacks Consensus Estimate and up 14.1% year over year. Profits were primarily driven by price increases and lower restructuring costs. However, net sales for the quarter were flat year-over-year Incorporatedreasing 0.4% to $1.5 billion as favorable pricing was almost fully offset by volume declines associated with pricing elasticity, unfavorable foreign exchange and the decision to discontinue certain premium chocolate products. Management stated that core brands such as Kisses are responding to the investments in advertising (which was up approximately 50%), in-store programming and merchandising. In the channels measured by syndicated data, U.S. market share during the third quarter was flat while up 0.3 points year-to-date. Management also ]]></description>
