We have seen acquisition costs for most major nut types, except for walnuts and peanuts, increase in the 2025 crop year (which falls into our current 2026 fiscal year). We completed procurement of inshell walnuts during the first half of fiscal 2026. During the third quarter, 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 third quarter of fiscal 2026 and will be recognized in our financial results at that time.
