Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 –Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and nine- month periods ended March 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2025. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

The Company’s quarterly results may experience seasonal fluctuations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, and its continued expansion into non-floral products, the Thanksgiving through Christmas holiday season, which falls within the Company’s second fiscal quarter, typically generates over 40% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. Due to the number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother's Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also have historically risen during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarters in comparison to its fiscal first quarter.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Net revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by discounts and estimates for credits and returns (calculated based upon previous experience and management’s evaluation). Service and outbound shipping charged to customers are recognized at the time the related merchandise revenues are recognized and are included in net revenues. Inbound and outbound shipping and delivery costs are included in cost of revenues. Net revenues exclude sales and other similar taxes collected from customers.

A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:

•E-commerce revenues - consumer products sold through our online and telephonic channels. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due prior to the date of shipment.

•Retail revenues - consumer products sold through our retail stores. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, at the point of sale, at which time payment is received.

•Wholesale revenues - products sold to our wholesale customers for subsequent resale. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Payment terms are typically 30 days from the date control over the product is transferred to the customer.

•BloomNet Services® - membership fees as well as other service offerings to florists. Membership and other subscription-based fees are recognized monthly as earned. Services revenues related to orders sent through the floral network are variable, based on either the number of orders or the value of orders, and are recognized in the period in which the orders are delivered. The contracts within BloomNet Services are typically month-to-month and, as a result, no consideration allocation is necessary across multiple reporting periods. Payment is typically due less than 30 days from the date the services were performed.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues are recorded when the Company has received consideration (i.e. advance payment) before satisfying its performance obligations. As such, customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to shipment or rendering of product or services. Deferred revenues primarily relate to e-commerce orders placed, but not shipped, prior to the end of the fiscal period, as well as for subscription programs, including our various food, wine, and plant-of-the-month clubs, and our Celebrations Passport® program.

Our total deferred revenue as of June 30, 2024 was $25.0 million (included in “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets), of which $1.9 million and $23.9 million was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended March 30, 2025, respectively. The deferred revenue balance as of March 30, 2025 was$29.9 million.

Interim Impairment Evaluation

The Company performs its annual assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles impairment during its fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist.

During the quarter ended March 30, 2025, the Company evaluated whether events or circumstances had changed such that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets were less than their carrying amounts. After consideration of current operating results, changes in macro-economic conditions, and a decline in the Company’s market capitalization, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred for its Consumer Floral & Gifts reporting unit. As such, the Company performed an impairment test of the reporting unit’s goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets as of March 30, 2025, and recorded a non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge of$138.2 million, comprised of $113.4 million related to goodwilland$24.8 million, attributable to the PersonalizationMall tradename (indefinite-lived intangible asset). The Company concluded that definite-lived and other long-lived assets of the reporting unit were not impaired.

In the prior fiscal year, during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as a result of a decline in the actual and projected revenue for the Company’s PersonalizationMall tradename, as well as a higher discount rate resulting from the higher interest rate environment, the Company determined that an impairment assessment was required for this tradename. This assessment resulted in the Company recording a non-cash impairment charge of $19.8 million to reduce the recorded carrying value of the PersonalizationMall tradename at that time.

Note 2 –Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) during the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

Note 3 –Acquisitions

Acquisition of Scharffen Berger®

On July 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of Scharffen Berger®, a chocolate manufacturing company, expanding the Company's product offerings in the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets Segment. The Company used cash on hand to fund the purchase.

The total consideration of $3.3 million was primarily allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date. During the quarter ended March 30, 2025, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation, and the consideration transferred was allocated to property, plant and equipment of $2.0 million, inventory of $1.3 million, and goodwill of $0.1 million (deductible for income tax purposes), partially offset by net liabilities of $0.1 million.

Scharffen Berger annual revenues and results of operations, based on its most recently available financial information, is deemed immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements and, as such, pro forma results of operations have not been presented.

Acquisition of Card Isle®

On April 3, 2024, the Company, within its BloomNet segment, completed its acquisition of certain assets of Card Isle®, an e-commerce greeting card company, expanding the Company’s presence in the greeting card category across all brands. The Company used cash on hand to fund the purchase.

The total consideration of $3.6 million was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date. During the quarter ended December 29, 2024, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation, and the consideration transferred was allocated to goodwill of $3.0 million (deductible for income tax purposes) and artist contracts of $0.6 million (5-year life).

Card Isle annual revenues and results of operations, based on its most recently available financial information, is deemed immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements and, as such, pro forma results of operations have not been presented.

Note 5 –Property, plant and equipment, net

The Company’s property, plant and equipment, net consists of the following:

Note 6 –Goodwill and other intangibles, net

The following table presents goodwill by segment and the related change in the net carrying amount:

The Company’s other intangible assets, net consist of the following:

Future estimated amortization expense is as follows: remainder of fiscal 2025 -$0.5 million, fiscal 2026 -$1.4 million, fiscal 2027 -$0.6 million, fiscal 2028 -$0.3 million, fiscal 2029 -$0.2 million and thereafter -$0.2 million.

The Company performs its annual assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles impairment during its fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist.

During the quarter ended March 30, 2025, the Company evaluated whether events or circumstances had changed such that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets were less than their carrying amounts. After consideration of current operating results, changes in macro-economic conditions, and a decline in the Company’s market capitalization, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred for its Consumer Floral & Gifts reporting unit as of March 30, 2025.

The Company performed its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of its Consumer Floral and Gifts reporting unit to its respective carrying value. The Company estimated the fair value of the Consumer Floral and Gifts reporting unit using an equal weighting of the income and market approaches, and a discount rate of 14.5%. The Company used industry accepted valuation models and set criteria that were reviewed and approved by various levels of management. Under the income approach, the Company used a discounted cash flow methodology that required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating income margins, working capital cash flow, perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates, among others. For the market approach, the Company used the guideline public company method. Under this method, the Company utilized information from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting units, to create valuation multiples that were applied to the operating performance of the reporting unit being tested, in order to obtain their respective fair values. The Company also reconciled the aggregate fair values of its reporting units to its current market capitalization.

The Company’s impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets encompassed calculating a fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and comparing that result to its carrying value. To determine fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company used an income approach, the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. Indefinite-lived intangible assets’ fair values require significant judgments in determining both the assets’ estimated cash flows as well as the appropriate discount and royalty rates applied to those cash flows to determine fair value.

The Company’s impairment test for definite-lived and other long-lived assets was performed through a recoverability test, comparing projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to its carrying value.

Based on the impairment assessment performed for the period ended March 30, 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $138.2 million, comprised of $113.4 million attributable to goodwill and $24.8 million attributable to the PersonalizationMall tradename within the same reporting unit. The Company concluded that definite-lived and other long-lived assets of the reporting unit were not impaired.

In the prior fiscal year, during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as a result of a decline in the actual and projected revenue for the Company’s PersonalizationMall tradename, as well as a higher discount rate resulting from the higher interest rate environment, the Company determined that an impairment assessment was required for this tradename. This assessment resulted in the Company recording a non-cash impairment charge of $19.8 million to reduce the recorded carrying value of the PersonalizationMall tradename to its estimated fair value at that time.

Additional Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Considerations

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Estimating the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets requires the Company to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include estimated future annual net cash flows, income tax considerations, discount rates, long-term growth rates, royalty rates, and other market factors. If current expectations of future growth rates and margins are not met, if market factors outside of our control change; such as discount rates, market capitalization, income tax rates, or inflation, or if management’s expectations or plans otherwise change, including updates to our long-term operating plans, then goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets might become impaired in the future.

As described above, goodwill for the Company’s Consumer Floral and Gifts reporting unit and the Company’s PersonalizationMall tradename were impaired during the quarter ended March 30, 2025 and were written down to their respective fair values resulting in zero excess fair value over carrying amount as of the impairment test date, resulting in a risk of future impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future.

Note 7 –Investments

Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value

Investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies, where the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for at cost, less impairment (assessed qualitatively at each reporting period), adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are included within “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s cost method invest ments was$2.4 million as of both March 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

Equity investments with a readily determinable fair value

The Company also holds certain trading securities associated with its Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC Plan”). These investments are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date and are included within the “Other assets” line item in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements).

Note 8 –Leases

The Company currently leases plants, warehouses, offices, store facilities, and equipment under various leases through fiscal 2036. Most lease agreements are of a long-term nature (over a year), although the Company does also enter into short-term leases, primarily for seasonal needs. Lease agreements may contain renewal options and rent escalation clauses and require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and operating expenses applicable to the leased properties. The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842.

At contract inception, the Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time, by assessing whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

At the lease commencement date, the Company determines if a lease should be classified as an operating or a finance lease (the Company currently has no finance leases) and recognizes a corresponding lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its consolidated balance sheet. The lease liability is initially and subsequently measured as the present value of the remaining fixed minimum rental payments (including base rent and fixed common area maintenance) using discount rates as of the commencement date. Variable payments (including most utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and variable common area maintenance) are expensed as incurred. Further, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting it to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less) and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets. The right-of-use asset is initially and subsequently measured at the carrying amount of the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, remaining balance of lease incentives received, unamortized initial direct costs, or impairment charges relating to the right-of-use asset. Right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment using the long-lived assets impairment guidance. The discount rate used to determine the present value of lease payments is the Company’s estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the Company generally cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease.

The Company recognizes expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As these leases expire, it can be expected that in the normal course of business they will be renewed or replaced. Renewal option periods are included in the measurement of lease liability, where the exercise is reasonably certain to occur. Key estimates and judgments in accounting for leases include how the Company determines: (1) lease payments, (2) lease term, and (3) the discount rate used in calculating the lease liability.

Additional information related to the Company's leases is as follows:

Maturities of lease liabilities in accordance with ASC 842 as of March 30, 2025 and reconciliation to the consolidated balance sheet are as follows (in thousands):

Note 9 –Accrued expenses

Accrued expenses consists of the following:

Note 10 –Long-term debt, net

The Company’s current and long-term debt, net consists of the following:

On June 27, 2023, the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Restated Credit Agreement”). The Third Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of August 20, 2020, the Second Amendment, dated as of November 8, 2021, and the Third Amendment, dated as of August 29, 2022). The Third Restated Credit Agreement, among other modifications: (i) increased the amount of the outstanding term loan (“Term Loan”) to $200 million, (ii) decreased the amount of the commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility to $225 million, subject to a seasonal reduction to an aggregate amount of $125 million for the period from January 1 to August 1, of each year, (iii) extended the maturity date of the outstanding Term Loan and the revolving credit facility to June 27, 2028, and (iv) increased the applicable interest rate margins for SOFR and base rate loans by 25 basis points.

On January 28, 2025, the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Third Restated Credit Agreement. The First Amendment amended the Third Restated Credit Agreement (the Third Restated Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the “Amended Third Restated Credit Agreement”) by, among other modifications, (i) revising the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to (x) provide that extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring cash expenses or losses may be added back to Consolidated Net Income in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, (y) clarify that expenses or losses in connection with the implementation or integration of operational systems, information technology or similar upgrades are deemed to constitute extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring expenses or losses, and (z) include an additional add-back to Consolidated EBITDA for the amount of any restructuring charge, accrual, reserve (and increases to existing reserves) or expense, (ii) clarifying the application of optional prepayments of Term Loans under the Amended Third Restated Credit Agreement toward scheduled principal payments of such Term Loans, and (iii) revising the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charges” to clarify that applicable scheduled principal payments of indebtedness are included in Consolidated Fixed Charges only to the extent not offset by the application of prepayments of such indebtedness.

On May 6, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Third Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment amended the Amended Third Restated Credit Agreement (the Amended Third Restated Credit Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) by, among other modifications, (i) replacing the financial covenants set forth therein with a minimum liquidity financial covenant until the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 27, 2026, (ii) decreasing the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and increasing the maximum leverage ratio, in each case, required to be maintained by the Company for the period consisting of the fiscal quarter ending December 27, 2026 through the fiscal quarter ending March 28, 2027 (the period from the Effective Date through March 28, 2027, during which the foregoing modifications are in effect, the “Applicable Period”), (iii) increasing the (x) applicable interest rate margins for SOFR and base rate loans to 350 basis points and (y) the applicable commitment fee in respect of undrawn commitments under the revolving credit facility to 50 basis points, in each case, during the period (such period, the “Affected Period”) from the Effective Date until the date the Company has (x) demonstrated compliance with the financial covenants as in effect under the Amended Third Restated Credit Agreement and (y) if applicable, elected to exit the Applicable Period, (iv) decreasing the amount of the commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility to $205.0 million, subject to a seasonal reduction to an aggregate amount of $125.0 million (or, during the Affected Period, $50.0 million) for the period from January 1 to July 1 of each year, and (v) imposing, during the Affected Period, additional conditions to borrowing under the revolving credit facility and additional prepayment obligations with respect to the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan.

For each borrowing under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Company may elect that such borrowing bear interest at an annual rate equal to either: (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying (other than during the Affected Period) based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, where the base rate is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the New York fed bank rate plus 0.5%, and (c) an adjusted SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1%, or (2) an adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin varying (other than during the Affected Period) based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The adjusted SOFR rate includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.1% for all interest periods.

The principal of the Term Loan is payable under the Existing Credit Agreement at a rate of$2.5 million for the first 7 quarterly installments beginning on September 29, 2023. During the three months ended December 29, 2024, the Company elected to optionally pay down $25.0 million against the outstanding Term Loan balance. This payment was applied toward the foregoing installment payments required to be made prior to the Effective Date in direct order of maturity. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the principal of the Term Loan will be subjectto a quarterly payment of$3.0 million, commencingon September 26, 2025, increasing to a quarterly payment of $6.0 million for the remaining 10 payments, with the remaining balance of$97.0 million due upon maturity on June 27, 2028. Future principal Term Loan payments under the Credit Agreement are as follows: $0.0 million – remainder of fiscal 2025, $21.0 million – fiscal 2026, $24.0 million – fiscal 2027, and $115.0 million – fiscal 2028.

The Existing Credit Agreement requires that, while any borrowings or commitments are outstanding, the Company comply with certain financial covenants and certain affirmative covenants and negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, make certain restricted payments and, during the Affected Period, hold cash deposits in accounts not maintained with lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement or their affiliates. The Company wasin compliance with these covenants as of March 30, 2025. The Existing Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Note 11 –Fair value measurements

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Although no trading market exists, the Company believes that the carrying amount of its debt approximates fair value due to its variable nature (these are level 2 investments). The Company’s investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment when an event or circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. The Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value (see table below). The Company’s non-financial assets, such as definite lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost and are assessed for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist, as required under the accounting standards.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance are described below:

The following table presents by level, within the fair value hierarchy, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(1)The Company has established a NQDC Plan for certain members of senior management. Deferred compensation plan assets are invested in mutual funds held in a “rabbi trust,” which is restricted for payment to participants of the NQDC Plan. Trading securities held in a rabbi trust are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date and are included in the “Other assets” line item, with the corresponding liability included in the “Other liabilities” line item in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 12 –Income taxes

The Company computed the interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective rate, adjusted for discrete items. This estimate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2025 was 9.4% and 5.9%, respectively, compared to 33.0% and 34.7% in the same periods of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to establishing a valuation allowance on certain federal and state deferred tax assets (including charitable contribution carryforwards) and the permanent portion of goodwill impairment charges. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2025 was also impacted by state income taxes and tax deficiencies (shortfalls) from stock-based compensation, partially offset by tax credits. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to impairment charges reducing the amount of income reflected in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Further impacting the Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 were tax deficiencies (shortfalls) from stock-based compensation, state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers available positive and negative evidence. Such evidence includes historical operating results, the existence of cumulative earnings and losses in the most recent fiscal years, taxable income in prior carryback year(s) if permitted under the tax law, the time period over which our temporary differences will reverse, the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies, and expectations for future pre-tax operating income. Estimating future taxable income is inherently uncertain and requires judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of this evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. During the quarter ended March 30, 2025, the Company completed a detailed analysis of future taxable income, focused on the scheduling of temporary differences that are expected to reverse in periods where the Company anticipates taxable income. Due to the goodwill and intangible impairment charge recorded during the quarter ended March 30, 2025, deferred tax liabilities were reduced to an amount whereby the lack of sufficient reversing taxable temporary differences is significant evidence considered by the Company in including a $24.9 million valuation allowance in its projected annual effective tax rate. At the time of the impairment, the Company was in a three-year cumulative loss position and had not identified any tax planning strategies to support the deferred tax asset realizability. Additionally, the impairment charge reduced previously available deferred tax liabilities that had supported the realization of deferred tax assets. In addition, the Company placed a specific valuation allowance of $3.4 million on its charitable contribution carryforward as a discrete item in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. As of March 30, 2025, the Company had valuation allowances of approximately $26.7 million, of which $20.5 million was recorded during the three months ended March 30, 2025, primarily related to net operating losses, charitable contributions, and deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not realizable. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had valuation allowances of $4.9 million primarily related to certain state and foreign net operating losses.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and various foreign countries. The Company’s fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 remain subject to U.S. federal examination. Due to nonconformity with the U.S. federal statute of limitations for assessment, certain states remain open from fiscal 2020. The Company's foreign income tax filings from fiscal 2018 are open for examination by its respective foreign tax authorities, mainly Canada and Brazil. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At March 30, 2025, the Company has an unrecognized tax benefit, including accrued interest and penalties, of approximately $3.4 million (included in "Other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheet), all of which if fully recognized would impact our effective tax rate. The Company believes that $0.4 million of unrecognized tax positions will be resolved over the next twelve months.
