(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 2024 and fiscal 2023 are to the fiscal year ending June 27, 2024 and the fiscal year ended June 29, 2023, respectively.

•

References herein to the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 are to the quarters ended December 28, 2023 and December 29, 2022, respectively.

•

References herein to the first half or first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 are to the twenty-six weeks ended December 28, 2023 and December 29, 2022, 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, snack and trail mixes, nutrition bars, snack bars, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks, sesame sticks, other sesame snack products and baked cheese snack products under our brand names, including Just the Cheese, and under private brands. Finally, with our recent acquisition of assets relating to the snack bars business from TreeHouse Foods. Inc., which was completed in the current second quarter of fiscal 2024, we are able to offer our private brand customers a complete portfolio of snack bars. 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 29, 2023 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2023.

Note 2– Lakeville Acquisition

On September 29, 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets from TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (the “Seller”) relating to its snack bars business. The acquired assets include inventory, a manufacturing facility and related equipment located in Lakeville, Minnesota, and product formulas (the “Lakeville Acquisition”). The initial purchase price was approximately $61,546 in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Following the closing, we received payment from the Seller of $2,572 for purchase price adjustments related to the actual inventory and fixed assets acquired, for a revised purchase price of $58,974, net. The purchase price for the Lakeville Acquisition was primarily funded from borrowings under the Credit Facility as amended by the Second Amendment (defined below).

The Lakeville Acquisition accelerates our strategy within the growing snack bar category and diversifies our product offerings. It also allows us to offer private brand customers a complete portfolio of snack bars, including fruit and grain, crunchy, protein, sweet and salty and chewy bars that complement internally developed nutrition bars. The Lakeville Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”.

The following table summarizes the preliminary amounts allocated to the fair values of certain assets acquired at the acquisition date:

Property, plant and equipment represent a manufacturing facility and related equipment located in Lakeville, Minnesota. The fair value for the property was primarily determined using a market approach. The fair values for the machinery and equipment were determined using a combination of the direct and indirect cost approaches, along with the market approach. All assets will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining useful lives as determined in accordance with our accounting policies.

The product formulas asset represents the value of these formulas designed to replicate the taste, texture and appearance of branded snack bars. The fair value of the product formulas was determined using the income approach through a relief from royalty method analysis. We are amortizing formulas over a weighted average life of 5.4 years.

There were no recognized or unrecognized material contingencies associated with the acquired business.

The $61,950 fair value of the identifiable assets acquired exceeded the total purchase price of $58,974. Accordingly, this acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase and we recognized a gain of $2,226, netof taxes, which is reported in the caption “Bargain purchase gain, net” in our consolidated financial results for the quarter and twenty-six weeks ended December 28, 2023. We believe the Lakeville Acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain because the Seller was motivated to divest such snack bars business, as its performance no longer supported the Seller's long-term growth targets.

Net sales of $28,692 and a loss before income taxes of $3,957 from the closing of the Lakeville Acquisition on September 29, 2023 are included in our consolidated financial results as of December 28, 2023. The Company also incurred acquisition-related costs of $161 and $665 for the quarter and twenty-six weeks ended December 28, 2023, respectively. These costs are included in Administrative expenses.

The following reflects the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company as if the Lakeville Acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2023. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results would have been if the Lakeville Acquisition had occurred as of the date indicated or what such results would be for any future periods.

These unaudited pro forma results have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of the Lakeville Acquisition to reflect elimination of transaction costs and the bargain purchase gain and to record additional interest expense and cost of sales that would have been incurred, assuming the fair value adjustment to inventory had been applied from July 1, 2022, net of related income taxes in respect of pro forma net income and diluted earnings per share performance. The impact to the above pro forma information of incremental depreciation and amortization expense is insignificant and therefore excluded from the calculation of pro forma results.

Since the Lakeville Acquisition, we continue to operate in a single reportable operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut-related products and snacks through three sales distribution channels. Revenues from the Lakeville Acquisition are primarily in our consumer distribution channel.

Note 3 – 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.

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 including, but not limited to, promotional allowances, volume and customer rebates, in-store display incentives and marketing allowances 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 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. There wasno contract asset balance for any periods presented. 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:

Note 4 – 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 5.5 years.

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:

The following tables summarize the Company’s total lease costs and other information arising from operating lease transactions:

(a)

Includes short-term leases which are immaterial.

(b)

Variable lease costs consist of sales tax and lease overtime charges.

Supplemental cash flow and other information related to leases was as follows:

Maturities of operating lease liabilities as of December 28, 2023 are as follows:

At December 28, 2023, the Company has additional operating leases of approximately $425 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 third quarter of fiscal 2024 with initial lease terms ranging from 3 to 6 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:

The future minimum, undiscounted fixed cash flows under non-cancelable tenant operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Note 5 – Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

Note 6 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization consist of the following:

Customer relationships are being amortized on an accelerated basis. The brand names remaining to be amortized consist of the Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts and Just the Cheese brand names.

Total amortization expense related to intangible assets, which is classified in administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, was $482 and $924 for the quarter and twenty-six weeks ended December 28, 2023, respectively. Amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2024 is expected to be approximately $762 andexpected amortization expense the next five fiscal years is as follows:

Our net goodwill at December 28, 2023 was comprised of $9,650 from the Squirrel Brand acquisition completed in fiscal 2018 and $2,100 from the Just the Cheese brand acquisition completed in fiscal 2023. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since June 30, 2022 are as follows:

Note 7 – Credit Facility

Our Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) dated September 29, 2023 provides for a $150,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which was increased from $117,500, to provide extra available capacity for our short-term working capital requirements due to the Lakeville Acquisition. The Second Amendment also extends the maturity of the Credit Facility to September 29, 2028 and allows the Company to pay up to $100,000 in dividends per year, subject to meeting availability tests. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property and fixtures.

At December 28, 2023, we had $114,155 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $32,052 and reduced availability as a result of $3,793 in outstanding letters of credit. As of December 28, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Note 8– 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:

There wereno anti-dilutive awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for any periods presented.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans

At our annual meeting of stockholders on November 2, 2023, our stockholders approved a new equity incentive plan (the “2023 Omnibus Plan”) under which awards of options and stock-based awards may be made to employees, officers or non-employee directors of our Company. A total of 747,065 shares of Common Stock are authorized for grants of awards thereunder, which may be in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights (SARs”), performance shares, performance units, Common Stock or dividends and dividend equivalents.

The total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options or SARs may be granted in any calendar year to any participant may not exceed 500,000 shares (this limit applies separately with respect to each type of award). Additionally, for awards of restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares or other stock-based awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation: (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be granted in any calendar year to any participant may not exceed 250,000 shares (this limit applies separately to each type of award) and (ii) the maximum amount that may be paid to any participant for awards that are payable in cash or property other than Common Stock in any calendar year is $5,000.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, there were 56,168 RSUs awarded to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The vesting period is generally three years for awards to employees and one year for awards to non-employee directors.

The following is a summary of RSU activity for thefirst twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2024:

(a)

The number of RSUs granted includes 8,031 RSUs with performance conditions for which the performance criteria had yet to be achieved. The final number of shares that will eventually be earned and vest has not yet been determined.

(b)

The number of RSUs vested includes shares that were withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements.

At December 28, 2023, there were 26,653 RSUs outstanding that were vested but deferred.

The following table summarizes compensation expense charged to earnings for all equity compensation plans for the periods presented:

As of December 28, 2023, there was $6,763 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 1.7 years.

Note 10–Retirement Plan

The Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) is an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation 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:

The components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component are included in the line item “Pension expense (excluding service costs)” in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Note 11 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The table below sets forth the changes to accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) for thetwenty-six weeks ended December 28, 2023 and December 29, 2022. These changes are all related to our defined benefit pension plan.

(a)

Amounts in parenthesis indicate debits/expense.

The reclassifications out of AOCL for thequarter and twenty-six weeks ended December 28, 2023 and December 29, 2022 were as follows:

(b)

Amounts in parenthesis indicate debits to expense. See Note 10 – “Retirement Plan” above for additional details.

Note 12 – 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 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board 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:

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:

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 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.
