To help support continued supply and further growth, we announced in 2024 that we plan to locate a second egg washing and packing facility in Seymour, Indiana, which we anticipate will be fully operational in 2027. We intend to build upon the foundational key learnings and successes from our Egg Central Station facility in Missouri with this second facility and further expand our already resilient supply chain. To help meet the continued demand for our shell eggs, we announced in January 2025 that we plan to install an additional Moba egg grading system, the primary automation technology used in washing, sorting and packing shell eggs, at Egg Central Station in Missouri. Installation of this new system began in the first quarter of 2025 and is expected to be fully operational by the end of fiscal 2025.

In fiscal 2024, we purchased approximately 1,040 acres of farmland in Indiana for approximately $7.5 million. Our intent is to develop this farmland (along with other potential parcels to be purchased in the future) and utilize it for “accelerator farms” to provide learning and development opportunities within our farm network and to help ensure adequate supply for our future egg washing and packing facility in Seymour, Indiana, while preserving the ability in the future to sell turnkey farms to interested farmers. In the first quarter of 2025, we elected to sell certain of these parcels, totaling approximately 408 acres, and we expect the sale of such parcels to occur by the end of fiscal 2025.

Since initial outbreaks of HPAI in early 2022, we have been closely following the progression of the virus and working with our farmers, veterinarians, government health officials and animal welfare auditors to ensure that our flocks are kept as safe as possible. In fiscal 2024, we experienced an outbreak of HPAI at one of our farms. We did not experience an outbreak of HPAI at any of our farms in the 13-week period ended March 30, 2025.

Previous wording

In fiscal 2024, we were made aware of an outbreak of a virus called Egg Drop Syndrome, or EDS, in the Midwest, and nine of our farms were impacted by EDS in fiscal 2024. EDS is characterized by the production of pale, thin-shelled, soft-shelled, or shell-less eggs by seemingly healthy laying hens. We did not experience an outbreak of EDS at any of our farms in the 13-week period ended March 30, 2025.

Current wording

In fiscal 2024, we were made aware of an outbreak of a virus called Egg Drop Syndrome, or EDS, in the Midwest.

EDS is characterized by the production of pale, thin-shelled, soft-shelled, or shell-less eggs by seemingly healthy laying hens.

Previous wording

In fiscal 2024 and continuing into fiscal 2025, HPAI-related disruptions in the supply of conventional eggs resulted at times in increased demand for premium egg products such as ours, which occasionally resulted in shortages of these eggs on shelves at our retail customers. While we have not experienced material disruptions to our egg supply due to HPAI and EDS outbreaks, if a substantial portion of our farms or production facilities were affected, this could materially and negatively affect our supply chain and operating results. Additionally, agricultural diseases such as HPAI or EDS have resulted and could continue to result in supply shortages and price increases across the egg market, including shortages of eggs on shelves at our retail customers. We are confident in the measures we have taken to reduce the risk of HPAI and EDS on our farms and production facilities (including through procurement of newly available vaccinations for EDS), as well as our ability to mitigate impacts on supply. However, given continued uncertainty about future outbreaks and governmental responses to such outbreaks, we cannot predict the ultimate impact that agricultural diseases such as HPAI and EDS will have on our business.

Economic uncertainty and volatility may affect our business and corresponding financial position and cash flows. Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of materials and supplies, interest rates and overhead costs, may adversely affect our operating results. Elevated interest rates also present a challenge impacting the U.S. economy and could make it more difficult for us or our farmers to obtain traditional financing on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future. Certain of our products and elements of our supply chain, including our butter products and certain processing equipment and packaging, are imported from international markets. We expect that tariffs and restrictions on international trade, including the tariffs announced by the U.S. government in April 2025, will impact the cost or availability of these items. Additionally, many economists and observers have suggested that we should expect a higher recession risk in the near future, which, together with the foregoing, could result in further economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets and could negatively affect our operations. We work closely with our farmers, suppliers and third-party manufacturers to manage our supply chain activities and mitigate potential disruptions to our product supplies as a result of supply chain disruptions associated with such uncertainties. We currently expect to have an adequate supply of our products, packaging and freight through fiscal 2025.

However, the duration, magnitude and scope of any additional tariffs or restrictions on international trade are difficult to predict, including any related impacts to consumer demand, along with the extent (if any) to which we will be able to offset the impacts of such actions through our mitigation efforts.

We have positioned our brand to capitalize on growing consumer interest in natural, clean-label, traceable, ethical, great-tasting and nutritious foods. We believe there is substantial opportunity to grow our consumer base and increase the velocity at which households purchase our products. U.S. household penetration for the shell egg category is approximately 97%, while the household penetration for our shell eggs is approximately 9.9%. We intend to increase household penetration by continuing to invest significantly in sales and marketing to educate consumers about our brand, our values and the premium quality of our products. We believe these efforts have helped and will continue to help educate consumers on the attractive attributes of our products, generate further demand for our products and ultimately expand our consumer base. Our ability to continue to attract new consumers will depend, among other things, on the perceived value and quality of our products, the offerings of our competitors and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Our performance depends significantly on factors that may affect the level and pattern of consumer spending in the U.S. natural food market in which we operate. Such factors include consumer preference, consumer confidence, consumer income, consumer perception of the safety and quality of our products and shifts in the perceived value for our products relative to alternatives.

We believe that our ability to increase the number of customers that sell our products to consumers is an indicator of our market penetration and our future business opportunities. We define our customers as the entities that sell our products to consumers. With certain of our retail customers, like Whole Foods, we sell our products through distributors. We are not able to precisely attribute our net revenue to a specific retailer for products sold through such channels. We rely on third-party data to calculate the portion of retail sales attributable to such retailers, but this data is inherently imprecise because it is based on gross sales generated by our products sold at retailers, without accounting for price concessions, promotional activities or chargebacks in the ordinary course of business, and because it measures retail sales for only the portion of our retailers serviced through distributors. Based on this third-party data and internal analysis, Whole Foods accounted for approximately 20% and 21% of our retail sales for the 13-week periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

As of March 30, 2025, there were approximately 26,000 stores selling our products. We expect the retail channel to be our largest source of net revenue for the foreseeable future. By capturing greater shelf space, driving higher product velocities and increasing our SKU count, we believe there is meaningful runway for further growth with existing retail customers. Additionally, we believe there is significant opportunity to gain incremental stores from existing customers as well as by adding new retail customers. We also believe there is significant further long-term opportunity in additional distribution channels, including the convenience, drugstore, club, military and international markets. Our ability to execute this strategy will increase our opportunities for incremental sales to consumers, and we also believe this growth will allow for margin expansion. To accomplish these objectives, we intend to continue leveraging consumer awareness of and demand for our brand, offering targeted sales incentives to our customers and utilizing customer-specific marketing tactics. Our ability to grow within the retail channel will depend on a number of factors, such as our customers’ satisfaction with the sales, product velocities and profitability of our products.

Current wording

As of June 29, 2025, there were approximately more than 23,500 stores selling our products. Since our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2025, our third-party data provider revised its reporting methodology for number of stores selling our products. Due to such change in methodology, store count data reported previously may not be comparable to current data. According to the data provider, under this revised methodology, there were approximately 23,250 stores selling our products as of March 30, 2025, rather than the 26,000 store count disclosed in our previous Quarterly Report under the previous reporting methodology.
