Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Lifecore Biomedical” or the “Company”, previously Landec Corporation) design, develop, manufacture, and sell differentiated products for food and biomaterials markets, and license technology applications to partners. Lifecore Biomedical’s biomedical company, Lifecore Biomedical Operating Company, Inc. (“Lifecore”), is a fully integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) that offers highly differentiated capabilities in the development, fill and finish of sterile, injectable-grade pharmaceutical products in syringes and vials. As a leading manufacturer of premium, injectable grade Hyaluronic Acid, Lifecore brings 37 years of expertise as a partner for global and emerging biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across multiple therapeutic categories to bring their innovations to market. Lifecore recognizes revenue in two different product categories, CDMO and Fermentation. Lifecore Biomedical previously operated a natural food company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Curation Foods, Inc. (“Curation Foods”), which was previously focused on the distribution of plant-based foods to retail, club and foodservice channels throughout North America, which was presented in Lifecore Biomedical’s prior financial statements as the Curation Foods segment. However, upon the sale of Yucatan Foods on February 7, 2023 (see “Yucatan Disposition and Discontinued Operations” below) and O Olive Oil & Vinegar (“O Olive”) on April 6, 2023, (refer to Note 10), the Company has ceased to operate the Curation Foods business. Accordingly, commencing in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Curation Foods segment of Lifecore Biomedical will be presented as a discontinued operation in its entirety. On November 14, 2022, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from Landec Corporation to Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (the “Name Change”), which was approved by the board of directors of the Company and became effective on November 14, 2022. In connection with the Name Change, the Company’s common stock began trading under its new NASDAQ ticker symbol, “LFCR”, on November 15, 2022. References to “Landec” or “Landec Corporation” refer to operations and/or transactions of the Company prior to the Name Change. Yucatan Disposition and Discontinued Operations On February 7, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Company, Camden Fruit Corp., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Curation Foods and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Camden” and together with the Curation Foods and the Company, the “Sellers”), Yucatan Foods, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Camden (“Yucatan”), and Yucatan Acquisition Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Flagship Food Group LLC (“Buyer” and together with Yucatan and the Sellers, the “Parties”) completed the sale (the “Yucatan Disposition”) of the Company’s avocado products business, including its Yucatan® and Cabo Fresh® brands, as well as the associated manufacturing facility and operations in Guanajuato, Mexico (the “Business”), pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement executed by the Parties on February 7, 2023 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, Buyer acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Yucatan for a purchase price of $17.5 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments at closing, including selling costs, net working capital and other adjustments amounting to $5.0 million. The Company recognized a loss on the Yucatan Disposition of $21.0 million in the third quarter ended February 26, 2023. The loss on the Yucatan Disposition is recorded in loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The accounting requirements for reporting the Yucatan Foods business as discontinued operations were met when the Yucatan Disposition was completed on the Closing Date. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the Yucatan business as a discontinued operation for the periods presented. Refer to Note 9 - Discontinued Operations for additional information. Securities Purchase Agreement On November 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Wynnefield Purchase Agreement”) with entities affiliated with Wynnefield Capital, Inc. (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Wynnefield Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 627,746 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million (the “Offering”). The purchase price for each Share was $7.97. The Offering closed on November 25, 2022. Pursuant to the Wynnefield Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the Purchasers certain piggyback registration rights and agreed, among other things, to indemnify such parties under any registration statement filed that includes the Shares from certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities. Series A Convertible Preferred Share Purchase Agreement On January 9, 2023, the Company simultaneously signed and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Share Purchase Agreement”) with a group of certain accredited investors. Refer to Note 2 – Convertible Preferred Stock for additional information. Amendment to Credit Agreements On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into certain amendments to its existing Credit Facilities (defined below). Refer to Note 6 – Debt and Note 10 – Subsequent Events for additional information. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lifecore Biomedical have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at February 26, 2023, and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. Although Lifecore Biomedical believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in financial statements and related footnotes prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying financial data should be reviewed in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in Lifecore Biomedical’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period that ends on the last Sunday of May with quarters within each year ending on the last Sunday of August, November, and February; however, in instances where the last Sunday would result in a quarter being 12-weeks in length, the Company’s policy is to extend that quarter to the following Sunday. A 14th week is included in the fiscal year every five or six years to realign the Company’s fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended February 26, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year because there is some seasonality in the order patterns of Lifecore’s customers which may lead to significant fluctuations in Lifecore Biomedical’s quarterly results of operations. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Lifecore Biomedical and its subsidiaries, Lifecore and Curation Foods. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates that require management’s most significant and subjective judgments include revenue recognition; loss contingencies; sales returns and credit losses; recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived and indefinite lived assets (including intangible assets and goodwill), and inventory; and the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation. These estimates involve the consideration of complex factors and require management to make judgments. The analysis of historical and future trends can require extended periods of time to resolve and are subject to change from period to period. The actual results may differ from management’s estimates. Going Concern Update As disclosed in the Company’s previous filings, the Company had previously determined that there were factors, which was principally the result of our noncompliance with financial covenants, that raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Since that time, the Company has taken measures to strengthen its financial position, including the repayment and termination of the Prior Term Loan Facility, and the entry into the Refinancing Transactions (defined below), in each case, on May 22, 2023. The Refinancing Transactions provided the Company with additional liquidity, eliminated the Company’s noncompliance with its financial covenants under Credit Facilities (including granting the Company applicable waivers under the Revolving Term Loan Facility), reduced the Company’s near-term debt service costs, and eliminated certain financial covenants that existed under the Prior Term Loan Facility. In addition, the completion of the Company’s sale of the Yucatan and O Olive business, and the entry into an amended and restated supply agreement with Alcon Research, LLC (“Alcon”) to extend and expand its prior supply agreement, as further described in Note 10 – Subsequent Events, also provided the Company with additional liquidity. The cash provided under the Refinancing Transactions, completed divestitures of remaining Curation Foods businesses, and the lower debt service costs under our Refinancing Transactions provide improved forecasted cash flow from operations that allow sufficient liquidity over the next 12 months to meet our obligations as they come due. Based on the foregoing, management believes that our cash position as of the date of filing these financial statement (the “Filing Date”) and forecasted cash flow from operations is sufficient to meet capital and liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. As a result, there is no longer substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company records all highly liquid securities with three months or less from date of purchase to maturity as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist mainly of money market funds. The market value of cash equivalents approximates their historical cost given their short-term nature. Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents as presented on the Statements of Cash Flows The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents, discontinued operations within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: (In thousands) February 26, 2023 May 29, 2022 February 27, 2022 May 30, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,950 $ 991 $ 1,854 $ 1,159 Cash and cash equivalents, discontinued operations — 652 — 136 Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,950 $ 1,643 $ 1,854 $ 1,295 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value and consist of the following: (In thousands) February 26, 2023 May 29, 2022 Finished goods $ 14,636 $ 13,418 Raw materials 22,554 21,329 Work in progress 11,506 9,553 Total $ 48,696 $ 44,300 If the cost of the inventories exceeds their net realizable value, provisions are recorded currently to reduce them to net realizable value. The Company also records a provision for slow moving and obsolete inventories based on the estimate of demand for its products. Accounts Receivable, Sales Returns and Allowance for Credit Losses The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for estimated sales returns and credit losses. Sales return allowances are estimated based on historical sales return amounts. The Company uses the loss rate method to estimate its expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable and contract assets. In order to estimate expected credit losses, the Company assessed recent historical experience, current economic conditions and any reasonable and supportable forecasts to identify risk characteristics that are shared within the financial asset. These risk characteristics are then used to bifurcate the loss rate method into risk pools. The risk pools were determined based on the industries in which the Company operates. Historical credit loss for each risk pool is then applied to the current period aging as presented in the identified risk pools to determine the needed reserve allowance. At times when there are no current economic conditions or forecasts that may affect future credit losses, the Company has determined that recent historical experience provides the best basis for estimating credit losses. The information obtained from assessing historical experience, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts were used to identify risk characteristics that can affect future credit loss experience. There were no significant risk characteristics identified in the review of historical experiences or in the review of estimates of current economic conditions and forecasts. Estimating credit losses based on risk characteristics requires significant judgment by management. Significant judgments include, but are not limited to: assessing current economic conditions and the extent to which they are relevant to the existing characteristics of the Company’s financial assets, the estimated life of financial assets, and the level of reliance on historical experience in light of economic conditions. The Company will continually review and update, when necessary, its historical risk characteristics that are meaningful to estimating credit losses, any new risk characteristics that arise in the natural course of business, and the estimated life of its financial assets. The changes in the Company’s allowance for credit losses are summarized in the following table (in thousands): Balance at Provision (benefit) for expected credit losses Write offs, Balance at Nine months ended February 26, 2023 $ 5 $ — $ (1) $ 4 Nine months ended February 27, 2022 $ 5 $ — $ — $ 5 Debt Issuance Costs The Company records its line of credit debt issuance costs as an asset, and as such, $0.7 million and $1.3 million were recorded as Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other non-current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, as of February 26, 2023, and $0.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as of May 29, 2022. The Company records its term debt issuance costs as a contra-liability, and as such, $8.1 million and $5.5 million were recorded as a reduction to long-term debt, net and current portion of long-term debt, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, as of February 26, 2023 and May 29, 2022. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments are primarily composed of commercial-term trade payables, debt instruments, and derivative instruments. For short-term instruments, the historical carrying amount approximates the fair value of the instrument. The fair value of long-term debt and lines of credit approximates their carrying value. Cash Flow Hedges The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. These derivative instruments may offset a portion of the changes in interest expense. The Company designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either an asset or a liability and carries them at fair value in Other assets or Other non-current liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the resulting designation. For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows and are designated as cash flow hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) in Stockholders’ Equity. Those amounts are subsequently reclassified to earnings in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income as impacted when the hedged item affects earnings. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company discontinued its hedge accounting prospectively since it was determined that the derivatives are no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the net investment. The derivatives continue to be carried at fair value in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in their fair values from the date of discontinued hedge accounting recognized in current period earnings in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Amounts previously accumulated in AOCL during the period of effectiveness will continue to be realized over the remaining term of the underlying forecasted debt payments as a component of AOCL in Stockholders’ Equity. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). OCI refers to revenue, expenses, and gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net loss. The Company’s OCI consists of net deferred gains and losses on its interest rate swap derivative instruments. The components of AOCL, net of tax, are as follows: (In thousands) AOCL Balance as of May 29, 2022 $ (586) Amounts reclassified from OCI 586 Other comprehensive income, net $ 586 Balance as of February 26, 2023 $ — Assets Held for Sale In May 2021, the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell Curation Foods’ Rock Hill, South Carolina distribution facil ity. There was no impairment recorded in fiscal year 2021. The asset was sold on June 9, 2021 for gross proceeds of $1.1 million. A gain of $0.6 million was recorded upon the sale and was included in loss from discontinued operations within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. In May 2022, the Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the assets of Curation Foods’ BreatheWay packaging technology business. The $1.0 million carrying value of these assets ($0.9 million of inventory and $0.1 million net book value of property and equipment) are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 29, 2022 and were classified as assets held for sale. These assets were sold during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 for net proceeds of $3.1 million. A gain of $2.1 million was recorded upon the sale, which is included in Selling, general and administrative within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the nine months ended February 26, 2023. Leases Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is a quoted rate based on the understanding of what the Company’s credit rating would be. Certain agreements may contain the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset. The Company, when reasonably certain to exercise the option, considers these options in determining the measurement of the lease. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company combines fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and accounts for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of lease assets and liabilities. Payments under lease arrangements are primarily fixed; however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and are not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities. These amounts primarily include payments affected by changes in price indices. Long-lived and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The Company’s intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships with a finite estimated useful life of 12 years, and trademarks/tradenames and goodwill with indefinite useful lives. During the nine months ended February 26, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.0 million related to Yucatan Foods indefinite-lived intangible asset related to trademarks/tradenames which is included in discontinued operations. In addition, during the nine months ended February 26, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million related to O Olive’s indefinite-lived intangible asset for their trademarks/tradenames. The impairments were determined using the royalty savings method to estimate the fair value of its trademarks and was primarily a result of an indication of a decrease in the fair market value of the Yucatan Foods and O Olive businesses driven by lower market valuations and a decrease in projected cash flows. The O Olive impairment charge is included in the line item “Impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets” on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income, and is reported in the Curation Foods business segment (See Note 7). Fair Value Measurements The Company uses fair value measurement accounting for financial assets and liabilities and for financial instruments and certain other items measured at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its investment in a non-public company. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its other eligible financial assets or liabilities. The accounting guidance established a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which would require the Company to develop its own assumptions. As of February 26, 2023 and May 29, 2022, the Company held certain assets and liabilities that are required or it elected to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including its interest rate swap contracts. As of May 29, 2022, related to the assets of Curation Foods’ BreatheWay packaging technology business, the Company had $1.0 million in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheet meeting the criteria of held for sale. These assets are recognized at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell using market approach. The fair value of these assets are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to a mix of unobservable inputs utilized such as independent research in the market as well as actual quotes from market participants. Imprecision in estimating unobservable market inputs can affect the amount of gain or loss recorded for a particular position. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis (in thousands): Fair Value at February 26, 2023 Fair Value at May 29, 2022 Assets: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets held for sale - nonrecurring $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 1,027 Current assets, discontinued operation Property & equipment — — — — 3,500 — Customer relationship — — — — — 1,400 Tradenames — — — — — 4,000 Total assets — — — — 3,500 6,427 Revenue Recognition The Company follows the five step, principles-based model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue, net of estimated allowances and returns, is recognized when or as the Company satisfies its performance obligations under a contract and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Lifecore Lifecore generates revenue from two integrated activities: CDMO and Fermentation. CDMO is comprised of aseptic and development services. Lifecore’s standard terms of sale are generally included in its contracts and purchase orders. Shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers are recorded in both revenue and cost of goods sold. Lifecore has elected to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not as a separate performance obligation. Lifecore’s standard payment terms with its customers generally range from 30 days to 60 days. Aseptic Lifecore provides aseptic formulation and filling of syringes and vials with precisely formulated medical grade HA and non-HA materials for injectable products used for medical purposes. In instances where our customers contract with us to aseptically fill syringes or vials with our HA, the goods are not distinct in the context of the contract. Lifecore recognizes revenue for these products at the point in time when legal title to the product is transferred to the customer, which is at the time that shipment is made or upon delivery of the product. Development Services Lifecore provides product development services to assist its customers in obtaining regulatory approval for the commercial sale of their drug product. These services include activities such as technology development, material component changes, analytical method development, formulation development, pilot studies, stability studies, process validation and production of materials for use within clinical studies. The Company’s customers benefit from the expertise of its scientists who have extensive experience performing such tasks. Each of the promised goods and services are not distinct in the context of the contract as the goods and services are highly interdependent and interrelated. The services described above are significantly affected by each other because Lifecore would not be able to fulfill its promise by transferring each of the goods or services independently. Revenues generated from development services arrangements are recognized over time as Lifecore is creating an asset without an alternate use as it is unique to the customer. Furthermore, the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date for its costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation plus a reasonable profit margin. For each of the development activities performed by Lifecore as described above, labor is the primary input (i.e., labor costs represent the majority of the costs incurred in the completion of the services). The Company determined that labor hours are the best measure of progress as it most accurately depicts the effort extended to satisfy the performance obligation over time. Fermentation Lifecore manufactures and sells pharmaceutical-grade sodium hyaluronate (“HA”) in bulk form to its customers. The HA produced is distinct as customers are able to utilize the product provided under HA supply contracts when they obtain control. Lifecore recognizes revenue for these products at the point in time when legal title to the product is transferred to the customer, which is at the time that shipment is made or upon delivery of the product to our customer. Curation Foods Curation Foods’ standard terms of sale, both prior to and following the Eat Smart Disposition and Yucatan Disposition, are generally included in its contracts and purchase orders. Revenue is recognized at the time shipment is made or upon delivery as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers are recorded in both revenue and cost of goods sold. Curation Foods has elected to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not as a separate performance obligation. Curation Foods’ standard payment terms with its customers generally range from 30 days to 90 days. Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives (including: volume rebates, discounts, and promotions), which are accounted for as variable consideration to Curation Foods’ performance obligations. Curation Foods estimates these sales incentives based on the expected amount to be provided to its customers and reduces revenues recognized towards its performance obligations. The Company has not historically had and does not anticipate significant changes in its estimates for variable consideration. The Company disaggregates its revenue by segment based on how it markets its products and services and reviews results of operations. The following tables disaggregate segment revenue by major product lines and services: (In thousands) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Lifecore: February 26, 2023 February 27, 2022 February 26, 2023 February 27, 2022 Contact development and manufacturing organization $ 17,809 $ 24,799 $ 52,088 $ 63,951 Fermentation 8,521 10,009 19,635 17,756 Total $ 26,330 $ 34,808 $ 71,723 $ 81,707 (In thousands) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Curation Foods: February 26, 2023 February 27, 2022 February 26, 2023 February 27, 2022 Olive Oil and vinegars $ 1,270 $ 2,169 $ 6,025 $ 7,016 Technology — 422 — 1,417 Total $ 1,270 $ 2,591 $ 6,025 $ 8,433 Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s conditional right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The Company’s contract assets as of February 26, 2023 and May 29, 2022, were $4.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Contract liabilities primarily relate to payments received from customers in advance of performance under the contract. The Company’s contract liabilities as of February 26, 2023 and May 29, 2022, were $2.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended February 26, 2023, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of fiscal year 2023, was $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Shipping and Handling Costs Amounts billed to third-party customers for shipping and handling are included as a component of revenues. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included as a component of cost of products sold and represent costs incurred to ship product from the processing facility or distribution center to the end consumer markets. Legal Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims. The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of t |
