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:
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 offer our private brand customers a complete portfolio of snack and nutrition bars. We market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including nutrition bars, snack bars, peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snack and trail mixes, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks, other sesame snack products and baked cheese snack products under our brand names, including Just the Cheese, and under private brands. Our products are sold through
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 27, 2024 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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2024.
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, trail mixes and snack and nutrition bars.
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. This allows the customer to 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. It is also 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 experience. 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. The contract asset balance at September 26, 2024 is $

Note 3 – Leases
Description of Leases
We lease warehouse space, equipment used in the transportation of goods in our warehouses and a limited number of automobiles. Our leases generally do not contain any explicit guarantees of residual value and, with the exception of our warehousing and distribution center in Huntley, IL, generally do not contain non-lease components. Our leases for warehouse transportation equipment generally require the equipment to be returned to the lessor in good working order.
9
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. With the exception of our warehouse leases, none of our other 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
It is our accounting policy not to 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 Sheets. 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:

Lessor Accounting
We lease office space in our four-story office building located in Elgin, IL. 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.

Note 10 – 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 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 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “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:

The estimated fair value of our 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 12 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following recent accounting pronouncements have not yet been adopted:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280)”. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements by expanding the disclosures required for reportable segments in annual and interim consolidated financial statements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments require that any entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required either in this update or already existing in Topic 280. The amendments are effective public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update but do not expect it to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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:
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 offer our private brand customers a complete portfolio of snack and nutrition bars. We market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including nutrition bars, snack bars, peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snack and trail mixes, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks, other sesame snack products and baked cheese snack products under our brand names, including Just the Cheese, and under private brands. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredients and contract manufacturing distribution channels.
Our Long-Range Plan defines our future growth priorities and focuses on growing our private brand business across key customers, as well as transforming Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Squirrel Brand into leading brands while increasing distribution and diversifying our portfolio into high growth snacking segments. We will execute on our Long-Range Plan by providing our private brand customers value-added solutions based on our extensive industry and consumer expertise with innovative products such as our newly developed product line of private brand nutrition bars and expanding our overall snack bar capabilities. 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. Our Long-Range Plan also contemplates increasing our sales through product innovation and targeted, opportunistic acquisitions, such as the fiscal 2024 acquisition of certain snack bar assets including inventory, product formulas, a manufacturing facility and related equipment located in Lakeville, Minnesota, (the “Lakeville Acquisition”). The Lakeville Acquisition expands our ability to produce private brand snack bars, increased our overall production capabilities and allows us to provide our private brand customers with a complete snack bar portfolio. In addition, we also recently acquired additional snack bar production assets that will expand our manufacturing capacity and support further growth in our bar program.
We will continue to focus our promotional and advertising activity to invest in our brands to achieve sales volume growth. We intend to execute on an omnichannel approach to win in key categories including recipe nuts, snack nuts, trail mix and other snacking categories. We continue to see e-commerce sales volume growth across our branded portfolio and anticipate taking various actions with the goal of maintaining that growth across a variety of established e-commerce platforms. We continue to face the ongoing challenges and/or regulations specific to our business, such as food safety and regulatory matters, the maintenance and growth of our customer base and overall category growth for branded and private brand products and varying consumer demand for nut and nut-related products and snack bars in a challenging snack food environment.
We face a number of challenges in the future, which include the impacts of higher prices in food, in part due to underlying commodity acquisition costs, uncertainty over interest rates that may negatively impact economic growth, consumers reducing their snack purchases, including branded nut products or products with lower gross profit margin, potential for economic downturn in the markets in which we operate and continued supply chain challenges. To stay compliant with recent changes in employment laws across states where we operate and remain competitive in attracting qualified talent, we expect our labor costs to continue to increase.
15
Inflation and Consumer Trends
We face changing industry trends as consumers' purchasing preferences evolve. We have continued to see higher selling prices at retail, with price increases starting to moderate for some products, including snack nuts and trail mix, and decrease for other products. While moderated, these higher prices across our categories and the broader food market, coupled with an actual or potential economic downturn and tightening of consumer finances due to reduced government support through programs such as SNAP or a variety of other macroeconomic reasons, are causing consumers to purchase fewer snack products. We have seen this through the sales volume decline in the recipe, snack nut and snack bar categories since fiscal 2023, with indicators of this trend reversing in the start of fiscal 2025. Consumers continue to shift their preferences to private brands or lower priced nuts or snack bars or purchase snack products outside the snack nut, trail mix and snack bar categories. We are also seeing signs of consumers shifting to more value-focused retailers, such as mass merchandising retailers and club stores, not all of which we distribute or sell to. We have responded by focusing on our strengths, including our knowledge of the snack and trail nut categories, product innovation and judicious use of trade spending and pricing actions.
Supply Chain and Transportation
Global supply chain pressures have eased compared to fiscal 2024, but pockets of challenges, delays and extended lead-times still exist. While we do not have direct exposure to suppliers in Russia, Ukraine or Israel, the conflicts in these regions could continue to result in volatile commodity markets, supply chain disruptions and increased costs. Overall packaging and ingredient inflation appears to be leveling off. The East Coast/Gulf port strike was suspended after three days, but there is risk of recurrence in January 2025, if the parties are unable to reach agreement on the remaining contract terms. Any such strikes may negatively affect our ability to obtain certain raw materials or ship our products.
Freight rates have remained decreased compared to the prior fiscal year, and fuel costs stabilized in fiscal 2024. However, trucking capacity continues to decline due to (among other things) recent bankruptcies of trucking companies, potentially leading to further instability in the transportation industry in fiscal 2025. We are closely monitoring the situation with the East Coast port workers, which could further disrupt the freight industry. While indicators suggest transportation prices are stabilizing, the overall transportation environment remains unpredictable.
Despite the widespread flooding and damage to the southeast region of the U.S. as a result of hurricanes Helene and Milton, we do not anticipate any material impact on the supply or acquisition prices of raw materials we procure from that area. Peanut crop loss and damage in the eastern Georgia region is expected to be minimal. The overall crop is estimated to be slightly larger than the prior year. The primary impact from the hurricane is the logistical delay of growers reaching their fields to continue the harvest, as well as some infrastructure damage to buying points. We expect there to be an adequate supply and minimal impact to cost of peanuts as a result of the hurricanes. Regarding pecans, initial estimates indicate a minimal loss of the Georgia crop and therefore we expect there to be an adequate supply and minimal impact to cost.
Our most significant ingredient requirements include cocoa products, dried fruits, sweeteners, vegetable oils, oats, flour and dairy. Many of these materials and their associated costs are subject to price fluctuations from several factors, including changing commodity markets, other market conditions, demand for raw materials, weather, growing and harvesting conditions, climate change, energy costs, currency fluctuations, supplier capacities, governmental actions, import and export requirements (including tariffs), and on-going political instability and other factors beyond our control.
We have remained agile by proactively identifying risks, modifying inventory plans and diversifying our supplier base to mitigate risk of customer order shortages and maintain our supply chain. We continue to proactively manage our business in response to the evolving global economic environment and related uncertainty and intend to take steps to further mitigate impacts to our supply chain as they develop. If these supply chain pressures continue or worsen, or we cannot obtain the transportation and labor services needed to obtain raw materials or fulfill customer orders, such shortages and supply chain issues could have an unfavorable impact on net sales and our operations in fiscal 2025. Furthermore, record cocoa prices have been fueled by speculation of a short crop in calendar 2024. Cocoa markets have retreated from recent all-time highs, but remain sharply elevated versus levels a year ago and this has continued into fiscal 2025. Cocoa production was down significantly in Ghana and Ivory Coast due to a combination of inclement weather and crop disease. Despite higher cocoa prices, consumption remained strong, leading to predictions of a large production deficit. Additionally, as costs increase due to these circumstances or due to overall inflationary pressures, there is a further risk of our not being able to pass (in part or in full) such potential cost increases on to our customers or in a timely manner. If we cannot align costs with prices for our products, our financial performance could be adversely impacted.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Our net sales of $276.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $42.1 million, or 18.0%, from our net sales of $234.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Sales volume, measured as pounds sold to customers, increased 24.5% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Gross profit decreased $10.5 million, and our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 16.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 24.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased by $2.9 million, or 9.0%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. As a percentage of net sales, total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased to 10.7% from 13.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
The total value of inventories on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $19.8 million, or 11.3%, in comparison to the total value of inventories on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
We expect acquisition costs for walnuts to increase significantly and most other major tree nuts and peanuts to increase in the 2024 crop year (which falls into our current 2025 fiscal year). While we began to procure inshell walnuts during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the total payments due to our walnut growers will not be determined until the second and/or third quarters of fiscal 2025. 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 2025 and will be recognized in our financial results at that time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our net sales increased 18.0% to $276.2 million compared to net sales of $234.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to the Lakeville Acquisition, which occurred in our second quarter of fiscal 2024 and increased quarterly net sales by approximately $40.5 million. Sales volume, which is defined as pounds sold to customers, increased 24.5%, also due to the Lakeville Acquisition. The Lakeville Acquisition increased our quarterly sales volume by 17.6 million pounds, or 24.1%, over the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Sales volume for the first quarter, excluding the impact of the Lakeville Acquisition, increased 0.5% and the weighted average sales price per pound increased 0.2%.
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.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased $45.1 million, or 24.4%, and sales volume increased 30.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily due the Lakeville Acquisition. Excluding the Lakeville Acquisition, net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased $7.3 million, or 3.9%, and sales volume increased 3.4%. Private brand sales volume increased 36.1% primarily driven by the Lakeville Acquisition. Excluding the Lakeville Acquisition, private brand sales volume increased 3.9% due to new peanut butter and nutrition bar distribution, as well as increased volumes of mixed nuts and snack and trail mix at a mass merchandising retailer, resulting mainly from retail pricing adjustments and rotational distributions. Sales volume of Southern Style Nuts increased 57.3% due to sales to a club store customer who returned to normalized inventory levels compared to the same quarter last year.
Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel decreased $1.2 million, or 4.4%, and sales volume increased 1.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The sales volume increase was due to the Lakeville Acquisition. Excluding the Lakeville Acquisition, sales volume decreased 0.6%.
Net sales in the contract manufacturing distribution channel decreased $1.7 million, or 8.0%, and sales volume increased 13.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in sales volume was due to an increase in granola processed in our Lakeville facility for a major customer. Excluding this granola volume, net sales decreased 19.2% and sales volume
18
decreased 19.8% due to reduced peanut distribution to a major customer, resulting from soft consumer demand, and a rotational distribution for a club customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, which did not reoccur in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased by $10.5 million, or 18.4%, to $46.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $57.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Excluding the Lakeville Acquisition, gross profit decreased approximately 19.1%, or $10.9 million. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower selling prices resulting from competitive pricing pressures and strategic pricing decisions, as well as higher commodity acquisition costs for peanuts and most tree nuts. Additionally, a one-time price concession to a snack bar customer and increased manufacturing spending due to capacity constraints at our Lakeville facility contributed to the overall decrease. These factors were partially offset by increased manufacturing efficiencies at our other facilities. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 16.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 24.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 due to the higher net sales base from the Lakeville Acquisition, lower selling prices and higher commodity acquisition costs for peanuts and most tree nuts.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased by $2.9 million, or 9.0%, to $29.5 million. Operating expenses decreased to 10.7% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 13.9% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Selling expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $19.8 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 9.8%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was driven by a $3.8 million decrease in advertising and consumer insight research expense and a $0.9 million decrease in incentive compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in rent expense related to the recent commencement of the Huntley facility lease, a $0.9 million increase in freight expense and $0.5 million increase in outside distribution expense, primarily related to the Lakeville Acquisition.
Administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased $0.8 million, or 7.2%, to $9.7 million compared to $10.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in incentive compensation expense, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in personnel and other expenses.
Income from Operations
Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations was $17.0 million, or 6.2% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $24.6 million, or 10.5% of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $0.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in interest expense was due to higher average debt levels.
Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net
Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.4 million for both the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.
Pension Expense (Excluding Service Costs)
Pension expense (excluding service costs) was $0.4 million for both the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $4.1 million, or 25.8% of income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $6.1 million, or 25.6% of income before income taxes, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Net Income
Net income was $11.7 million, or $1.00 per common share basic and diluted, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $17.6 million, or $1.52 per common share basic and $1.51 per common share diluted, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

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 brand programs, consummate and integrate business acquisitions, return cash to our stockholders through dividends, repay indebtedness and pay amounts owed under the Retirement Plan. 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, such as the Lakeville Acquisition in fiscal 2024, and explore and pursue 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 2025 and 2024, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $21.9 million for the comparative period of fiscal 2024. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to lower net income and changes in working capital.
Total inventories were $194.6 million at September 26, 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 1.0%, from the inventory balance at June 27, 2024, and an increase of $19.8 million, or 11.3%, from the inventory balance at September 28, 2023. The increase in inventories at September 26, 2024 compared to September 28, 2023 was primarily due to the $21.1 million of additional inventory associated with the Lakeville Acquisition. Excluding the Lakeville Acquisition, total inventories on hand decreased $1.4 million, or 0.8%, year over year.
Raw nut and dried fruit input stocks, some of which are classified as work-in-process, increased by 3.5 million pounds, or 11.4%, at September 26, 2024 compared to September 28, 2023 due to higher quantities of walnuts and pecans on hand partially offset by lower quantities of almonds, peanuts and dried fruit on hand. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 0.2% compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities was $12.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $6.0 million for the same period last year. Capital asset purchases were $11.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $6.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. We expect total capital expenditures for new equipment, facility upgrades, and food safety enhancements to be approximately $33.0 million for fiscal 2025. Absent any additional 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 provided by financing activities was $3.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to cash used of $16.9 million for the same period last year. Net borrowings under our Credit Facility were $26.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to net borrowings of $6.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in credit facility borrowings was primarily due an increase in working capital requirements in the current first quarter. Dividends paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were approximately $1.2 million more than dividends paid in the same period last year.

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 66% 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.
In April 2024, the Company executed a 7.5 year lease for approximately 445,000 square feet of warehouse space. The warehouse is located in Huntley, IL near the Elgin Site and is utilized to store finished goods inventory and as a distribution center.
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.
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 (the “Former Credit Agreement”) with the Bank Lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided 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 extended the term of the Former Credit Agreement from July 7, 2021 to March 5, 2025.
On May 8, 2023, we entered into the First Amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”) which replaced the London interbank offered rate interest rate option with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The First Amendment updated the accrued interest rate to a rate based on SOFR plus an applicable margin based upon the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 1.35% to 1.85%.
On September 29, 2023, we entered into the Second Amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which (among other things) increased the amount available to borrow under the Credit Facility to $150.0 million, extended the maturity date to September 29, 2028 and allows the Company to pay up to $100 million in dividends per year, subject to meeting availability tests.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by our accounts receivable and inventory.
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 on SOFR plus an applicable margin as noted above.
At September 26, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 7.0%. 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 ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenant or upon the occurrence of other defaults by us under the Credit Facility. As of September 26, 2024, 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 26, 2024, we had $97.7 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. If this entire amount were borrowed at September 26, 2024, we would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.
21
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 26, 2024, $7.0 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this release are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements may be generally identified by the use of forward-looking words and phrases such as “will”, “intends”, “may”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “should” and “expects” and are based on the Company’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future events and involve risks and uncertainties.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no material change in our assessment of our sensitivity to market risk since our presentation set forth in Part I - Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 26, 2024. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 26, 2024, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
In connection with the evaluation by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 26, 2024 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For a discussion of legal proceedings, see Note 10 – “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report on Form 10-Q, you should also consider the factors, risks and uncertainties which could materially affect our Company’s business, financial condition or future results as discussed in Part I, Item 1A – “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2024. Other than noted below, there were no significant changes to the risk factors identified on the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2024 during the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Increases in Labor Costs or Work Stoppages, Strikes or Other Labor Events Could Materially and Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
As the number of our employees has grown, personnel costs, including the costs of medical and other employee health and welfare benefits, have increased. These costs can vary substantially as a result of an increase in the number, mix and experience of our employees and changes in health care and other employment-related laws. There are no assurances that we will succeed in reducing future increases in such costs, particularly if government regulations require us to change our health and welfare benefits, government regulations impose additional benefits or monitoring and compliance expenses, or we need to attract and retain additional qualified personnel or provide extra compensation due to other reasons. Increases in personnel costs can also be amplified by low unemployment rates, increased inflation, our preferences among workers in the labor market and general tight labor market conditions in any of the areas where we operate. Increases in labor costs at any of our suppliers, transportation providers, third parties that we do business with or third parties within our supply chain may also adversely impact the cost of our raw materials and other inputs and thus increase the cost of our products. Our inability to control such costs could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Although we consider our labor relations to be good, if a significant number of our employees engaged in a work slowdown or stoppage, strike, boycott, or other type of labor unrest, it could impair our ability to source, manufacture and supply our products to customers. In addition, if there is a work slowdown or stoppage, strike, boycott or similar labor unrest event at a customer, supplier, transportation provider, road, port or dock, third party within our supply chain or government agency, it could similarly impact our ability to obtain raw materials, manufacture, ship, supply, or to otherwise provide our products to our customers. Any of these events could result in reduced sales and may distract our management from focusing on our business and strategic priorities. Any of these activities could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
