Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Description of Business Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc., and our wholly-owned subsidiary, JBSS Ventures, LLC. Our fiscal year ends on the last Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts, Sunshine Country Management Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include reserves for customer deductions, the quantity of bulk inventories, the evaluation of recoverability of long-lived assets, and assumption annual discount rate utilized in determining the . , particularly due to the uncertain impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its customers . Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts charged to customers, less allowances for doubtful accounts and reserves for estimated cash discounts and customer deductions. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated by specifically identifying customers that are credit risks and estimating the extent that other non-specifically Inventories Inventories, which consist principally of inshell bulk-stored nuts, shelled nuts, dried fruit and processed and packaged nut products, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) (first-in, first-out) pursuant , which historically averaged less than 1.0% of inventory purchases, We enter into walnut purchase agreements with growers typically in our first fiscal quarter, under which they deliver their walnut crop to us during the fall harvest season (which typically occurs in our first and second fiscal quarters). Pursuant to our walnut purchase agreements, we determine the final price for this inventory after receipt and typically by the end of our third fiscal quarter. Since the ultimate purchase price to be paid is determined subsequent to receiving the walnut crop, we typically estimate the final purchase price for our first and second quarter interim financial statements based on crop size, quality, current market prices and other factors. Any such changes in estimates, which could be significant, are accounted adjusting Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements that extend the useful life, add capacity or add functionality are capitalized and charged to expense through depreciation. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized currently in operating income. Depreciation expense for the last three fiscal years is as follows: Year Ended June 25, 2020 Year Ended June 27, 2019 Year Ended June 28, 2018 Depreciation expense $ 15,433 $ 14,017 $ 13,414 Cost is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Classification Estimated Useful Lives Buildings 10 to 40 years Machinery and equipment 5 to 10 years Furniture and leasehold improvements 5 to 10 years Vehicles 3 to 5 years Computers and software 3 to 10 years No interest costs were capitalized for the last three fiscal years due to the lack of any significant Business Combinations We use the acquisition method in accounting for acquired businesses. Under the acquisition method, our financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Segment Reporting We operate in a single three Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We review held and used long-lived assets, including our rental investment property and amortizable identifiable intangible assets (e.g., customer relationships and brand names), to assess recoverability from projected undiscounted cash flows whenever events or changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group. The cash flows are based on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates there is an impairment, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. We did not record any impairment of long-lived assets for the last three fiscal years. Goodwill Goodwill currently represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets from our acquisition Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually as of the last day of each fiscal year for impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include deterioration in general economic conditions, adverse changes in the markets in which we operate, increases in input costs that have negative effects on earnings and cash flows, or a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods, among others. The fair value that could be realized in an actual transaction may differ from that used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill. In testing goodwill for impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we elect to perform a qualitative assessment and determine that an impairment is more likely than not, we are then required to perform a quantitative impairment test, otherwise no further analysis is required. We also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. Under the goodwill qualitative assessment, various events and circumstances that would affect the estimated fair value of our single reporting unit are identified (similar to impairment indicators above). During fiscal 2020 we elected to perform a qualitative impairment test which showed no indicators of goodwill impairment, despite the market uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 Under the goodwill quantitative impairment test, the evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of our single reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. We estimate the fair value using level 3 inputs as defined by the fair value hierarchy. The inputs used to estimate Our market capitalization is also an estimate of fair value that is considered in our qualitative impairment analysis which is a level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy. Facility Consolidation Project/Real Estate Transactions In April 2005, we acquired property to be used for the Elgin Site. Two buildings are located on the Elgin Site, one of which is an office building. Approximately 67% of the rentable area in the office building is currently vacant. Approximately 29% of the rentable area has not been built-out. The net rental expense from the office building is included in the caption “Rental and miscellaneous expense, net”. See Note 3 — “Leases” below for additional information. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels: Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2- Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. For example, quoted Level 3- Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available. The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values at June 25, 2020 and June 27, 2019 because of the short-term maturities and nature of these balances. The carrying value of our Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 — “Revolving Credit Facility” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements below) borrowings approximates fair value at June 25, 2020 because interest rates on this instrument approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria), the short-term maturity and nature of this balance. In addition, there has been no significant change in our inherent credit risk. The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our current and long-term debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs: June 25, 2020 June 27, 2019 Carrying value of long-term debt: $ 20,059 $ 27,798 Fair value of long-term debt: 20,186 27,720 The estimated fair value of long-term debt was determined using a market approach based upon Level 2 observable inputs, which estimates fair value based on interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality or broker quotes. In addition, there have been no significant changes in the underlying assets securing our long-term debt. Revenue Recognition The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers under recognition Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk The highly competitive nature of our business provides an environment for the loss of customers and the opportunity to gain new customers. We are subject to concentrations of credit risk, primarily in trade accounts receivable, and we attempt to mitigate this risk through our credit evaluation process, collection terms and through geographical dispersion of sales. Sales to two customers exceeded 10% of net sales during both Marketing and Advertising Costs Marketing and advertising costs are incurred to promote and support branded products in the consumer Year ended June 25, 2020 Year ended June 27, 2019 Year ended June 28, 2018 Marketing and advertising expense $ 8,997 $ 11,936 $ 11,290 Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs, which include freight and other expenses to prepare finished goods for shipment, are included in selling expenses. Shipping and handling costs for the last three fiscal years were as follows: Year ended June 25, 2020 Year ended June 27, 2019 Year ended June 28, 2018 Shipping and handling costs $ 21,613 $ 23,086 $ 20,418 Research and Development Expenses Research and development expense represents the cost of our research and development personnel and their related expenses and is charged to selling expenses as incurred. Research and development expenses for the last three fiscal years were as follows: Year ended June 25, 2020 Year ended June 27, 2019 Year ended June 28, 2018 Research and development expense $ 999 $ 892 $ 701 Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation Income Taxes We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reported in our financial statements or tax returns. Such items give rise to differences in the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the asset will not be realized. In estimating future tax consequences, we consider all expected future events other than changes in tax law or rates. We record liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the “Income tax expense” caption in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. We evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets by considering our historical taxable income and future taxable income based upon the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. As of June 25, 2020, we believe that our deferred tax assets are fully realizable. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock. The following table presents the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share: Year ended June 25, 2020 Year ended June 27, 2019 Year ended June 28, 2018 Weighted average number of shares outstanding — basic 11,463,968 11,430,174 11,383,080 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options and restricted stock units 72,823 71,238 66,306 Weighted average number of shares outstanding — diluted 11,536,791 11,501,412 11,449,386 The following table presents a summary of anti-dilutive awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share: Year ended June 25, 2020 Year ended June 27, 2019 Year ended June 28, 2018 Weighted average number of anti-dilutive shares: 7,010 — — Weighted average exercise price per share: $ 90.26 $ — $ — Comprehensive Income We account for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income non-owner Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following recent accounting pronouncements have been adopted in the current fiscal year: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) No. 2016-02 No. 2016-02 No. 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements non-lease No. 2018-10 Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases No. 2016-02.
