NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except where noted and per share data)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or “Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, JBSS Ventures, LLC. Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of

fifty-two

weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

• References herein to fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 are to the 52 week fiscal year ending June 29, 2023 and the 53 week fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, respectively. 

• References herein to the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 are to the quarters ended September 29, 2022 and September 23, 2021, respectively.

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds, and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under our

Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest,

Squirrel Brand

and

Southern Style Nuts

brand names and under a variety of private brands. We also market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under our brand names and under private brands. Our products are sold through three primary distribution channels, including food retailers in the consumer channel, commercial ingredient users and contract packaging customers.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements fairly present the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The balance sheet data as of June 30, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Note 2 – Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For each customer contract, a five-step process is followed in which we identify the contract, identify performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

When Performance Obligations Are Satisfied

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligations are primarily for the delivery of raw and processed recipe and snack nuts, nut butters and trail mixes.

Our customer contracts do not include more than one performance obligation. If a contract were to contain more than one performance obligation, we are required to allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for each distinct good is generally determined by directly observable data.

8

Revenue recognition is generally completed at a point in time when product control is transferred to the customer. For virtually all of our revenues, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms, as the customer can then direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset at that point in time. Therefore, the timing of our revenue recognition requires little judgment.

Variable Consideration

Some of our products are sold through specific incentive programs consisting of promotional allowances, volume and customer rebates,

in-store

display incentives and marketing allowances, among others, to consumer and some commercial ingredient customers. The ultimate cost of these programs is dependent on certain factors such as actual purchase volumes or customer activities and is dependent on significant management judgment when determining estimates. The Company accounts for these programs as variable consideration and recognizes a reduction in revenue (and a corresponding reduction in the transaction price) in the same period as the underlying program based upon the terms of the specific arrangements.

Trade promotions, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances, merchandising funds and consumer coupons, are also offered through various programs to customers and consumers. A provision for estimated trade promotions is recorded as a reduction of revenue (and a reduction in the transaction price) in the same period when the sale is recognized. Revenues are also recorded net of expected customer deductions which are provided for based upon past experiences. Evaluating these estimates requires management judgment.

We generally use the most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We believe there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration and trade promotions at least quarterly based on the terms of the agreements and historical experience. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe, therefore, no additional constraint on the variable consideration is required.

Contract Balances

Contract assets or liabilities result from transactions with revenue recorded over time. If the measure of remaining rights exceeds the measure of the remaining performance obligations the Company records a contract asset. Conversely, if the measure of the remaining performance obligations exceeds the measure of the remaining rights, the Company records a contract liability. Contract asset balances at September 29, 2022 and September 23, 2021 were $562 and $58, respectively, and are recorded in the caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was no contract asset balance at June 30, 2022. The Company generally does not have material deferred revenue or contract liability balances arising from transactions with customers.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue disaggregated by sales channel is as follows:

	For the Quarter Ended
Distribution Channel	September 29, 2022		September 23, 2021
Consumer	$	196,547	$	179,761

Note 3 - Leases

Description of Leases

We lease equipment used in the transportation of goods in our warehouses, as well as a limited number of automobiles and a small warehouse near our Bainbridge, Georgia facility. Our leases generally do not contain

non-lease

components and do not contain any explicit guarantees of residual value. Our leases for warehouse transportation equipment generally require the equipment to be returned to the lessor in good working order.

Through a review of our contracts, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and analyze the lease to determine if it is operating or finance. Operating lease

right-of-use

assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease

right-of-use

assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental collateralized borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Implicit rates are used when readily determinable. None of our leases currently contain options to extend the term. In the event of an option to extend the term of a lease, the lease term used in measuring the liability would include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. Our leases have remaining terms of up to 4.8 years.

It is our accounting policy to not apply lease recognition requirements to short-term leases, defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As such, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have also made the policy election to not separate lease and

non-lease

components for all leases.

The following table provides supplemental information related to operating lease

right-of-use

assets and liabilities:

	September 29, 2022		June 30, 2022		September 23, 2021		Affected Line Item in Consolidated Balance Sheet

At September 29, 2022, the Company has additional operating leases of approximately $505 that have not yet commenced and therefore are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and tables above. The leases are scheduled to commence in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2023 with initial lease terms ranging from 3 to 5 years.

Lessor Accounting

We lease office space in our four-story office building located in Elgin, Illinois. As a lessor, we retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment property and under Topic 842:

Leases

we continue to account for all of our leases as operating leases. Lease agreements may include options to renew. We accrue fixed lease income on a

straight-line

basis over the terms of the leases. There is generally no variable lease consideration and an immaterial amount of

non-lease

components such as recurring utility and storage fees. Leases between related parties are immaterial.

Leasing revenue is as follows:

Note 6 – Credit Facility

Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 5, 2020 provides for a $117,500 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property and fixtures.

At September 29, 2022, we had $70,686 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $42,624 and reduced availability as a result of $4,190 in outstanding letters of credit. As of September 29, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility and Mortgage Facility.

Note 7 – Earnings Per Common Share

The following table presents the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

	For the Quarter Ended

Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans

During the quarter ended September 29, 2022 there was no significant restricted stock unit (“RSU”) activity. Compensation expense attributable to stock-based compensation during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 was $772 and $703, respectively. As of September 29, 2022, there was $3,359 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to

non-vested

RSUs granted under our stock-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

Note 9 – Retirement Plan

The Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan is an unfunded,

non-qualified

benefit plan that will provide eligible participants with monthly benefits upon retirement, disability or death, subject to certain conditions. The monthly benefit is based upon each participant’s earnings and his or her number of years of service. The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcomes of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially affect our Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur. Unfavorable outcomes could include substantial monetary damages in excess of any appropriate accruals, which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash

flows.

Note 12 – 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 prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
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 each balance sheet date because of the short-term maturities and nature of these balances.

The carrying value of our revolving credit facility borrowings approximates fair value at each balance sheet date because interest rates on this instrument approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria) and because of 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:

	September 29, 2022		June 30, 2022		September 23, 2021
Carrying value of current and long-term debt:	$	9,660	$	10,927	$	13,812
Fair value of current and long-term debt:		9,583		11,179		15,360

The estimated fair value of our current and 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.

Note 13 – Garysburg, North Carolina Facility

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022 we sold the Garysburg property and remaining equipment located at the property to a third party for $4,000, subject to customary adjustments to reflect closing costs, which resulted in a $2,349 gain.

Note 14 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year.

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that have been issued and not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 15 – Subsequent Event

On November 3, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share on all issued

and

outstanding shares

of

Common Stock and Class A Stock of the Company (the “November 2022 Dividends”). The November 2022 Dividends will be paid on December 21, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 2, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

• References herein to fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 are to the 52-week fiscal year ending June 29, 2023 and the 53-week fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

• References herein to the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 are to the quarters ended September 29, 2022 and September 23, 2021, respectively.

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or “Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, JBSS Ventures, LLC.

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under our Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand and Southern Style Nuts brand names and under a variety of private brands. We also market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snack and trail mixes, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under our brand names and private brands. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredients and contract packaging distribution channels.

During fiscal 2022, we created a Long-Range Plan to define our future growth priorities. Our Long-Range Plan focuses on growing our non-branded business across key customers, transforming Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Squirrel Brand into leading brands while increasing distribution and diversifying our portfolio into high growth snacking segments. This Long-Range Plan also contemplates increasing our sales through product innovation and targeted, opportunistic acquisitions. We plan to execute on our Long-Range Plan by providing our non-branded customers with value-added solutions based on our extensive industry and consumer expertise. We will grow our branded business by reaching new consumers via product expansion and packaging innovation, expanding distribution across current and alternative channels, diversifying our product offerings and focusing on new ways for consumers to buy our products, including sales via e-commerce platforms.

We will continue to focus our promotional and advertising activity to invest in our brands to achieve growth. We intend to execute an omnichannel approach to win in key categories including recipe nuts, nut flours, snack nuts, trail mix and snacking. We continue to see strong e-commerce performance across our branded portfolio and anticipate taking various actions with the goal of accelerating that growth across a variety of established and emerging platforms. We will continue to face the ongoing challenges specific to our business, such as food safety and regulatory issues and the maintenance and growth of our customer base for branded and private label products. See the information referenced in Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties.

We face a number of challenges in the future, which include significant inflation, potential for economic downturn, supply chain challenges and the continued impacts of COVID-19. We have also experienced a tightening in the labor market for those employed at our production facilities, which has led to increased labor costs.

Inflation and Consumer Trends

We face changing industry trends as consumer purchasing preferences evolve. Due to significant inflation, including higher commodity acquisition costs in fiscal 2022, we have seen higher selling prices at retail. With higher prices across our categories and the broader food market, consumers may purchase fewer snack products, shift their preferences to private brands or lower priced nuts or purchase snack products outside the nut and trail mix category. With the inflationary environment, we are also seeing signs of consumers shifting to more value-focused channels, such as mass merchandising retailers, club stores and dollar stores. E-commerce platforms showed growth during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 but at a lower rate than we saw during the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

16

Supply Chain and Transportation

In recent quarters, we have faced challenges with shortages and cost increases for shipping pallets, packaging, imported ingredients, transportation and shipping availability. The conflict in Ukraine has further exacerbated supply chain disruptions, especially related to sunflower oil used in roasting our nut products and aluminum which is used in certain of our product packaging.

We have also experienced supply chain issues related to a shortage in capacity in the transportation industry. Compounding the driver shortage was an increase in demand driven by additional spending on consumer goods during fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, which led to periodic shortages of shipping containers, container chassis, space on container ships and trains and capacity constraints at U.S. ports. This tightening in transportation capacity began to ease during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and has continued to ease into fiscal 2023 as inflation resulted in rising costs which decreased demand in the freight market. However, intermodal capacity still remains tight. Fuel prices that were at record highs during spring and summer 2022 have begun to decrease, yet still remain volatile. While there are indicators of transportation cost improvement, and while we have mitigated some of the transportation shortages and maintained high service levels, we may continue to face an unpredictable transportation environment. There is no guarantee that our mitigation strategies will continue to be effective, or that any transportation capacity easing will continue or transportation prices will return to more normalized levels.

These shortages and related challenges have impacted our operations and resulted in increased expenses and manufacturing inefficiencies that have adversely impacted (and may continue to impact) our net income. We anticipate pricing relief in some of these areas in the coming quarters if and as shortages decrease and supply chains normalize; however, we expect that some costs may remain elevated or unpredictable for a longer period of time, particularly as the conflict in Ukraine continues.

We are working, and will continue to work, with our vendors, customers and suppliers to source additional raw materials and packaging supplies and to remain flexible in obtaining the transportation and labor services we need. If these shortages and other supply chain issues continue and we cannot secure adequate supplies to fulfill customer orders or cannot obtain the transportation and labor services we need, such shortages and supply chain issues could have an unfavorable impact on net sales and our operations during the remainder of fiscal year 2023. In addition, as costs increase due to these issues or due to inflationary pressures in general, there is an additional risk of not being able to pass (in part or in full) such potential cost increases onto our customers or in a timely manner. If we cannot align costs with prices for our products, our operating performance could be adversely impacted.

COVID-19

During fiscal 2023, we may continue to face challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty of future local, state and federal restrictions aimed to mitigate and control the pandemic. During fiscal 2022, as various COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutic measures became more widely distributed and accepted by the public and indoor dining restrictions were again loosened, we saw a significant improvement in sales volume with our foodservice, restaurant, convenience store and non-essential retail customers.

17

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Our net sales of $252.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 11.6% from our net sales of $226.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Sales volume, measured as pounds sold to customers, increased 1.8% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Gross profit decreased $1.2 million, and our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 20.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 22.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $3.8 million, or 15.4%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to a non-recurring gain on the sale of a facility that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. As a percentage of net sales, total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased to 11.2% from 10.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

The total value of inventories on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $39.5 million, or 25.9%, in comparison to the total value of inventories on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

We expect acquisition costs for most major tree nuts to be flat or decrease and acquisition costs for peanuts to increase modestly in the 2022 crop year (which falls into our current 2023 fiscal year). We also expect acquisition costs for dried fruit to increase modestly. While we began to procure inshell walnuts during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the total payments due to our walnut growers will not be determined until the second and/or third quarters of fiscal 2023. We will determine the final prices to be paid to the walnut growers based upon current market prices and other factors such as crop size and export demand. We have estimated the liability to our walnut growers and our walnut inventory costs using currently available information. Any difference between our estimated liability and the actual payments will be determined during the second and/or third quarters of fiscal 2023 and will be recognized in our financial results at that time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Our net sales increased 11.6% to $252.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to net sales of $226.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to a 9.6% increase in the weighted average sales price per pound and a 1.8% increase in sales pounds, which is defined as pounds sold to customers. The increase in the weighted average selling price per pound was attributable to price increases implemented in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 in response to higher commodity acquisition costs for all major tree nuts and peanuts.

The following table summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

	For the Quarter Ended
Product Type	September 29, 2022			September 23, 2021
Peanuts		19.3	%		17.7	%
Pecans		10.3			8.6
Cashews & Mixed Nuts		20.1			22.4
Walnuts		5.7			5.7
Almonds		9.0			10.6
Trail & Snack Mixes		28.9			28.2
Other		6.7			6.8
Total		100.0	%		100.0	%

The following table shows a comparison of net sales by distribution channel (dollars in thousands):

	For the Quarter Ended
Distribution Channel	September 29, 2022		Percentage of Total			September 23, 2021		Percentage of Total			$ Change		Percent Change
Consumer (1)	$	196,547		77.8	%	$	179,761		79.4	%	$	16,786		9.3	%
Commercial Ingredients		31,507		12.5			28,156		12.4			3,351		11.9
Contract Packaging		24,547		9.7			18,412		8.2			6,135		33.3
Total	$	252,601		100.0	%	$	226,329		100.0	%	$	26,272		11.6	%

⁽¹⁾  Sales of branded products were approximately 21% and 19% of total consumer channel sales during the first quarters of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. Fisher branded products were approximately 65% and 61% of branded sales during the first quarters of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively, with Orchard Valley Harvest branded products accounting for the majority of the remaining branded product sales.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased 9.3% in dollars and decreased 0.6% in sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The sales volume decrease was driven by lost private brand distribution at a grocery customer that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, which was largely offset by increased distribution and a new product offering at a mass merchandising retailer. Sales volume for Fisher snack nuts decreased 3.0% primarily due to an item discontinuance with a customer. Sales volume for Fisher recipe nuts increased 20.0% due to increased distribution at a mass merchandising retailer and at two grocery store customers. Sales volume of Orchard Valley Harvest produce products increased 15.7% from increased distribution at a major customer in the non-food sector as this retailer continues to recover from COVID-19 restrictions and increased distribution at a customer in the club channel.

19

Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased 11.9% in dollars and 2.4% in sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The sales volume increase was due to a 15.0% increase in sales volume to foodservice customers, which was related to new distribution at existing customers and the continued recovery in the restaurant industry from the impacts of COVID-19 restrictions. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales of peanut crushing stock to peanut oil processors and lower sales of bulk products to other food manufacturers.

Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased 33.3% in dollars and 19.3% in sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in sales volume was primarily attributable to the timing of promotional activity by a major customer and business with a new customer.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $1.2 million, or 2.2%, to $50.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to higher acquisition costs for all major tree nuts and peanuts and other inflationary cost increases, including labor and manufacturing supplies. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 20.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 22.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, driven by the reasons noted above, which were substantially offset by an increase in the weighted average selling price per pound and increased sales volume.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $3.8 million to $28.2 million. Operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased to 11.2% of net sales from 10.8% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as the increase in total expense was largely offset by a higher net sales base.

Selling expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $18.0 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 1.3%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was driven primarily by a $0.9 million increase in base and incentive compensation expense, primarily related to incentive compensation, which was largely offset by a $0.7 million decrease in advertising, consumer insight research and related consulting expenses.

Administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $10.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 13.0%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was driven by a $1.2 million increase in base and incentive compensation expense, primarily related to incentive compensation.

The $2.3 million gain on sale of facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was the result of the sale of our Garysburg, North Carolina facility.

Income from Operations

Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations decreased to $22.4 million, or 8.9% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 from $27.3 million, or 12.1% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher weighted average interest rates combined with higher average short-term debt levels.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Pension Expense (Excluding Service Costs)

Pension expense (excluding service costs) was $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $0.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in pension expense (excluding service costs) is primarily due to a decrease in the unrecognized net loss remaining to be amortized, which was a result of a large actuarial gain in the prior fiscal year.

20

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $5.5 million, or 26.0% of income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $6.8 million, or 26.0% of income before income taxes, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net Income

Net income was $15.5 million, or $1.35 per common share basic and $1.34 per share diluted, for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $19.2 million, or $1.67 per common share basic and $1.66 per share diluted, for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, pursue our Long-Range Plan through growing our branded and private label nut programs and repay indebtedness. Also, various uncertainties, including cost uncertainties, could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash are results of operations and availability under our Credit Facility. We anticipate that expected net cash flow generated from operations and amounts available pursuant to the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Our available credit under our Credit Facility has allowed us to devote more funds to promote our products, increase consumer insight capabilities and promotional efforts, reinvest in the Company through capital expenditures, develop new products, pay cash dividends, consummate strategic investments and business acquisitions and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Long-Range Plan.

Cash flows from operating activities have historically been driven by net income but are also significantly influenced by inventory requirements, which can change based upon fluctuations in both quantities and market prices of the various nuts and nut products we buy and sell. Current market trends in nut prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively (dollars in thousands):

	September 29, 2022			September 23, 2021			$ Change
Operating activities	$	30,646		$	903		$	29,743
Investing activities		(5,974	)		(1,237	)		(4,737	)
Financing activities		(24,789	)		201			(24,990	)
Net decrease in cash	$	(117	)	$	(133	)	$	16

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $30.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $0.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in operating cash flow is due primarily to a decreased use of working capital, mainly for inventory. Inventories decreased $12.8 million in fiscal 2023 compared to a $4.6 million increase in inventories in fiscal 2022, which resulted in a net source of cash of $17.4 million.

Total inventories were $192.1 million at September 29, 2022, a decrease of $12.8 million, or 6.2%, from the inventory balance at June 30, 2022, and an increase of $39.5 million, or 25.9%, from the inventory balance at September 23, 2021. The decrease in inventory at September 29, 2022 compared to June 30, 2022 was primarily due to lower quantities of pecans and walnuts on hand, which was partially offset by increased quantities of finished goods. The increase in inventory at September 29, 2022 compared to September 23, 2021 was primarily due to greater quantities of finished goods, work in process and inshell pecans on hand combined with higher commodity acquisition costs for pecans.

Raw nut and dried fruit input stocks, some of which are classified as work in process, increased 0.6 million pounds, or 1.9%, at September 29, 2022 compared to September 23, 2021. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut and dried fruit input stocks on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 20.6% compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to higher commodity acquisition costs for pecans.

Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities was $6.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash used in investing activities was mainly attributable to the $3.9 million of net proceeds received from the disposition of the Garysburg, North Carolina facility which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and did not recur in the current quarter. Capital expenditures were $5.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and $5.1 million during fiscal 2022. We expect total capital expenditures for new equipment, facility upgrades, and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2023 to be approximately $18.0 million. Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and borrowings available under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements for planned capital expenditures.

Financing Activities Cash used in financing activities was $24.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to cash provided of $0.2 million for the same period last year. Net short-term borrowings under our Credit Facility were $2.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to net borrowings of $36.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in short term borrowings was primarily due to a decreased use of working capital in the current quarter. The dividends paid in fiscal 2023 were approximately $8.6 million less than the same period of fiscal 2022.

Real Estate Matters

In August 2008, we completed the consolidation of our Chicago-based facilities into our Elgin headquarters (“Elgin Site”). The Elgin Site includes both an office building and a warehouse. We are currently attempting to find additional tenants for the available space in the office building at the Elgin Site. Until additional tenant(s) are found, we will not receive the benefit of rental income associated with such space. Approximately 70% of the rentable area in the office building is currently vacant. Approximately 29% of the rentable area has not been built-out. There can be no assurance that we will be able to lease the unoccupied space and further capital expenditures will likely be necessary to lease the remaining space.

Financing Arrangements

On February 7, 2008, we entered into the Former Credit Agreement (as defined below) with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 million revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the “Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36.0 million (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9.0 million (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45.0 million (as amended, the “Mortgage Facility”).

On March 5, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated our Credit Agreement dated as of February 7, 2008 (the “Former Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $117.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the same borrowing capacity, interest rates and applicable margin as the Former Credit Agreement and extends the term of the Former Credit Agreement from July 7, 2021 to March 5, 2025.

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property, and fixtures and matures on March 5, 2025. The Mortgage Facility is secured by mortgages on essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois and Gustine, California (the “Encumbered Properties”).

Credit Facility

At our election, borrowings under the Credit Facility currently accrue interest at either (i) a rate determined pursuant to the administrative agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the amount of loans, which may be advanced under the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% or (ii) a rate based upon the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin based upon the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%.

At September 29, 2022, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 5.4%. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that, among other things, require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, acquisitions and certain sales of assets and limit annual cash dividends or distributions, transactions with affiliates, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loan availability under the borrowing base calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis, until loan availability equals or exceeds $25.0 million for three consecutive months. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders have the option to accelerate and demand immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the

22

ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenant or upon the occurrence of other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of September 29, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. At September 29, 2022, we had $70.7 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. If this entire amount were borrowed at September 29, 2022, we would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Facility

The Mortgage Facility matures on March 1, 2023. On March 1, 2018 the interest rate on the Mortgage Facility was fixed at 4.25% per annum. Monthly principal payments on the Mortgage Facility in the amount of $0.3 million commenced on June 1, 2008.

Selma Property

In September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties (the “Selma Properties”) to two related party partnerships for $14.3 million and are leasing them back. The selling price was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma Properties has a ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. In September 2015, we exercised two of the five-year renewal options which extended the lease term to September 2026. The lease extension also reduced the monthly lease payment on the Selma Properties, beginning in September 2016, to reflect then current market conditions. At the end of each five-year renewal option, the base monthly lease amounts are reassessed, and the monthly payments increased to $114 beginning in September 2021. One five-year renewal option remains. Also, we have an option to purchase the Selma Properties from the owner at 95% (100% in certain circumstances) of the then fair market value, but not less than the original $14.3 million purchase price. The provisions of the arrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting, and the $14.3 million was recorded as a debt obligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. As of September 29, 2022, $8.2 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.
