(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts or as otherwise indicated)

Note 1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Vital Farms, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 6, 2013 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The Company packages, markets and distributes shell eggs, butter and other products. These products are principally sold under the name Vital Farms in addition to other trade names, primarily to retail and foodservice channels in the United States.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 29, 2026 and for the 13-week periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).

In the opinion of management, the included disclosures are adequate, and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 29, 2026, consolidated results of operations for the 13-week periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, and consolidated cash flows for the 13-week periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2025 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the note disclosures from the audited annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the 13-week period ended March 29, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 27, 2026.

Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December and contains either 52 or 53 weeks. In a 52-week fiscal year, each of the Company’s fiscal quarters consist of 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53-week fiscal year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. Therefore, the financial results of certain 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarters, will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated 13-week quarters. The fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 both contain operating results for 13 weeks.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following table summarizes the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities as of March 29, 2026:

The following table summarizes the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities as of December 28, 2025:

For the 13-week periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were$28,157 and$404, respectively.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s investments in available-for-sale securities as of March 29, 2026 by contractual maturity are as follows:

The following tables present the Company’s unrealized loss aging for available-for-sale securities by type and length of time the security was in a continuous unrealized loss position as of the periods presented:

As of March 29, 2026, there were three investments in the Company’s securities portfolio in an unrealized loss position, with credit ratings of A-1+. As of March 29, 2026, there were no individual treasury bills with unrealized losses exceeding$5, and no issuances have been in a loss position greater than 12 months.

The Company does not believe there has been any significant decline in the creditworthiness of the issuers and the Company does not have liquidity needs that would necessitate a sale of any material investments prior to maturity. Therefore, the Company hasnot recorded an allowance for credit losses on investment securities as of March 29, 2026.

The fair value and location of all investment securities are included in “Fair Value Measurements” in Note 5 below.

Note 4. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of commodity price volatility. Such instruments may include call options on commodity price contracts. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in other expense, net. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the aggregated outstanding notional amounts related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments for the periods presented:

For the 13-week periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, the pre-tax amount of commodity contract derivative losses recognized in other expense, net was$118 and$432, respectively.

The fair value and location of all outstanding derivative financial instruments are included in “Fair Value Measurements” in Note 5 below.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined below:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented:

During the 13-week period ended March 29, 2026, there wereno transfers between fair value measurement levels. For additional information on concentrations of credit risk for the Company’s financial instruments, refer to “Investment Securities” in Note 3 above.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments not included above, including cash, trade receivables, other non-trade receivables included in prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the aggregate commitments that accrues at either 0.20% or 0.375% per annum depending on the Company’s revolving credit exposure. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a participation fee on the account of each lender for each outstanding letter of credit at a rate equal to the applicable rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to term benchmark revolving loans.

The Credit Facility is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s assets, including certain intellectual property assets and investment securities. It requires the Company to maintain (i) a net leverage ratio of no greater than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to two increases up to 4.00 to 1.00 for a certain period following material acquisitions, and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.35 to 1.00. As a result of the limitations contained in the Credit Facility, certain of the net assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 29, 2026 are restricted in use.

Stock options generally vest ratably over three years from the date of grant, subject to the recipient’s continued service over such period, and expire 10 years from the date of grant. RSUs generally vest ratably over three years from the date of grant, subject to the recipient’s continued service over such period, and contain no other service or performance conditions. PSUs vest at the end of athree-year period based on the achievement of certain Company performance metrics and the recipient’s continued service over such period. The Company’s policy is to recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service or vesting period. For awards that are contingent upon performance metrics, the probability of achievement is taken into account in the calculation of the expense to be recognized and modified as needed. Forfeitures for stock options and restricted stock awards, including RSUs and PSUs, are recognized as they occur.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:

These PSUs vest at the end of a three-year period based upon the level of achievement of certain Company performance metrics and the recipient’s continued service over such period. The number of shares that can be earned will range from 0% to 200% of the granted PSUs, based upon the Company’s level of achievement of the stated performance metrics. The number of PSUs expected to vest and for which compensation cost has been recognized is based on the number of awards that the Company believes are probable to vest as of March 29, 2026.

The following table summarizes PSU activity since December 28, 2025:

The 2020 Incentive Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2021 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030, by an amount equal to 4% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors. As of March 29, 2026,14,976,215 shares were available for future grants of the Company’s common stock, which includes 1,791,885 shares of common stock that were automatically added to the available reserve on January 1, 2026.

Note 17. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax (benefit) rate for the 13-week periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 was approximately(18%) and 24%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax benefit for the 13-week period ended March 29, 2026 differs from the statutory rate due primarily to state taxes and the impact of compensation deduction limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). The Company’s effective tax rate for the 13-week period ended March 30, 2025 differs from the statutory rate due primarily to discrete tax benefits related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units.

For interim periods, the Company’s income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions, and other items. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to state income taxes and the impact of compensation deduction limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).

The Company excluded the following shares of common stock, outstanding at each period end, from the computation of dilutednet (loss) income per share attributable to Vital Farms, Inc. common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Note 19. Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

The amounts reclassified from AOCI for the periods presented below were as follows (in thousands):

The gross amount and related tax expense recorded in, and associated with, each component of other comprehensive (loss) income were as follows (in thousands):

Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification Agreements: In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its Board of Directors and its executive officers that require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. As of March 29, 2026, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnification agreements.

Litigation: The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies that are in the scope of ordinary and routine litigation incidental to its business, including those related to regulation, litigation, business transactions, employee-related matters and taxes, among others. When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, the likelihood of any loss or exposure is assessed. Based on these assessments and estimates, the Company may establish reserves, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from the Company’s assessments and estimates.

On March 27, 2026, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a putative class action complaint captioned Don Wilkerson et al. v. Vital Farms, Inc. et al. in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements about the Company’s business, operations and prospects in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b5-1 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Motions for lead plaintiff are due May 26, 2026. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. Given the uncertainty of the litigation, the stage of the case and legal standards that must be met for, among other things, class certification and success on the merits, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from the claim.

Although the Company maintains insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions and caps on amounts recoverable. Even if the Company believes a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute its entitlement to recovery for a variety of potential reasons, which may affect the timing and, if the insurers prevail, the amount of the Company’s recovery. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability for the loss. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible.

Note 23. Subsequent Events

In May 2026, the Company elected to wind down and discontinue its butter product offerings to focus on its core egg product categories, with such discontinuation expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2026. In connection with the discontinuation plan, the Company expects to incur butter inventory-related charges, costs, and write-downs, packaging write-downs, and other related discontinuation costs. The Company is not able to estimate the amount or range of amounts of such potential costs, including any amounts that will result in future cash expenditures at this time. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the wind down of the Company's butter business.
