Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(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 2027 and fiscal 2026 are to the fiscal year ending June 24, 2027 and the fiscal year ended June 25, 2026, respectively.
References herein to the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026 are to the quarters ended September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2025, respectively.
We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. We also manufacture and distribute a portfolio of snack and nutrition bars (“bars”), and market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of other food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snack and trail mixes, granola, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products. We primarily sell our products under a variety of private brand names, as well as under our Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand and Southern Style Nuts brand names. Our products are sold through three core distribution channels, including food retailers in the consumer channel, commercial ingredient users and contract manufacturing 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. Certain prior period disclosures have been expanded to conform to the current period presentation. The balance sheet data as of June 25, 2026 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2026.
Note 2 – 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, trail mixes and bars.
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 consisting of promotional allowances, volume and customer rebates, in-store display incentives and marketing allowances, among others, 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. A contract asset balance of $278 was reported for the quarter ended September 25, 2025. There wasno other contract balance during the other 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:
| For the Quarter Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| Distribution Channel | September 24,2026 | September 25,2025 |
| Consumer | $232,437 | $242,085 |
| Commercial Ingredients | 30,989 | 31,209 |
| Contract Manufacturing | 24,710 | 25,389 |
| Total | $288,136 | $298,683 |
Note 3 – Leases
We lease warehouse space, equipment used in the transportation of goods in our warehouses, a limited number of automobiles and semi-trailers and a small office space. Our leases generally do not contain any explicit guarantees of residual value. Additionally, our leases generally do not contain non-lease components, with the exception of the Huntley facility. 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. For our Huntley warehouse leases, we have extension options that were not considered reasonably certain of exercise at lease commencement. Accordingly, these optional renewal periods were excluded from the determination of the lease term and were not included in the measurement of the related operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. None of our other 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 9.8 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.

Lessor Accounting
We lease office space in our four-story office building located in Elgin, IL. As a lessor, we retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment property. 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.

Note 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization consist of the following:
| September 24,2026 | June 25,2026 | September 25,2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer relationships | $— | $21,350 | $21,350 |
| Brand names | 16,990 | 17,070 | 17,070 |
| Product formulas | 850 | 850 | 850 |
| Non-compete agreement | — | 300 | 300 |
| 17,840 | 39,570 | 39,570 | |
| Less accumulated amortization: | |||
| Customer relationships | $— | (21,350) | (21,265) |
| Brand names | (14,185) | (14,093) | (13,569) |
| Product formulas | (480) | (440) | (323) |
| Non-compete agreement | — | (300) | (297) |
| (14,665) | (36,183) | (35,454) | |
| Net intangible assets | $3,175 | $3,387 | $4,116 |
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company determined certain fully amortized Brand Names and Non-Compete Agreements are no longer in use, and certain fully amortized Customer Relationships have been incorporated with existing customers. The assets pertained to various acquisitions including Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand and Just the Cheese. As such, approximately $21,730 of these assets were derecognized in the current quarter. No gain or loss was recognized and the derecognition had no impact on net intangibles assets, net income, equity or cash flows. The derecognition reduced gross intangible assets and accumulated amortization by equal amounts.
Total amortization expense related to intangible assets, which is classified in “administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, was $212 for the quarter ended September 24, 2026. Amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2027 is expected to be approximately $635 and expected amortization expense the next five fiscal years is as follows:
| Fiscal Year Ending | |
|---|---|
| June 29, 2028 | $677 |
| June 28, 2029 | 496 |
| June 27, 2030 | 400 |
| June 26, 2031 | 400 |
| June 24, 2032 | 400 |
Our gross goodwill balance was $20,516 and accumulated impairment loss of $8,766 resulted in net goodwill of $11,750 as of September 24, 2026. The net goodwill is predominantly from the Squirrel Brand acquisition. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the last two fiscal years.
Note 6 – Credit Facility
Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 5, 2020, as amended most recently on June 16, 2025, provides for a $150,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and has a maturity date of September 29, 2028. The Credit Facility is secured by our accounts receivable and inventory.
At September 24, 2026, we had $88,260 of available credit under the Credit Facility reflecting borrowings of $56,035 and reduced availability as a result of $5,705 in outstanding letters of credit. As of September 24, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
Note 7 – Equipment Loan
On June 16, 2025, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which allows the Company to finance up to $50,000 for the purchase of equipment to further expand our production capabilities, increase our efficiency and further enhance our product offerings to our customers (the “Equipment Loan”). The Equipment Loan is provided under a master loan agreement and related equipment schedules and is secured under a Security Agreement that provides for a first priority lien on all equipment and a second priority lien on our accounts receivable and inventory. The Company will be required to make sixty equal monthly payments comprised of principal and interest starting upon equipment acceptance and distribution of the final loan proceeds, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of fiscal 2027. The fixed interest rate (Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.49%) will be calculated at that point in time as well. The Equipment Loan contains a graded prepayment penalty if the loan is paid off within 36 months of commencement. The Company is making monthly interest-only payments of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.60% prior to the delivery and acceptance of the equipment and distribution of the final loan proceeds, which is being capitalized as part of the equipment acquisition cost.
As of September 24, 2026 and June 25, 2026 there was$44,257 of the debt obligation under the Equipment Loan outstanding and as of September 25, 2025, there was $26,176 of the debt obligation outstanding. Interest capitalized during the quarters ending September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2025 was $590, and $344, respectively. As of September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2025, purchases of property, plant and equipment included in accounts payable totaled $15,990 and $4,082, respectively.
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:
| For the Quarter Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| September 24,2026 | September 25,2025 | |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic | 11,716,965 | 11,671,187 |
| Effect of dilutive securities: | ||
| RSUs and PSUs | 119,813 | 76,013 |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted | 11,836,778 | 11,747,200 |
There were no anti-dilutive awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for any periods presented.
Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans
During the quarter ended September 24, 2026 there was no significant restricted stock unit (“RSU”) activity.
The following is a summary of Performance Stock Unit (“PSU”) activity for the first quarter of fiscal 2027:
| Performance Stock Units (a) | Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at June 25, 2026 | 29,295 | $68.45 |
| Granted | — | $— |
| Performance Adjustment (b) | 7,376 | $57.24 |
| Vested | — | $— |
| Forfeited (c) | (7,241) | $82.99 |
| Outstanding at September 24, 2026 | 29,430 | $62.06 |
(a)
The PSUs are presented based on achieving target performance. The PSUs vest approximately three years from the grant date, with the number of shares earned (ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award) depending on the extent to which we achieve certain performance metrics. Based on current expectations and performance against these metrics, we expect 19,875 PSUs to be earned and thus vest at the end of the applicable vesting periods. The final number of shares that will eventually be earned and vest (if any) has not yet been determined as of September 24, 2026.
(b)
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the results of the fiscal 2026 PSU awards were certified by the Company's Compensation and Human Resources Committee at 159% of the performance target. The performance adjustment reflects the number of awards achieved above target. The earned PSU awards remain subject to continued service through the vesting date.
(c)
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the results of the fiscal 2024 PSU awards were certified. The minimum performance threshold was not achieved, and the related PSU awards were forfeited during the period.
Compensation expense attributable to stock-based compensation during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026 was $1,081 and $854, respectively. As of September 24, 2026, there was $4,315 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested
RSUs and PSUs granted under our stock-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.
Note 10–Retirement Plan
The Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) is an unfunded, non-qualified benefit 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:
| For the Quarter Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| September 24,2026 | September 25,2025 | |
| Service cost | $151 | $141 |
| Interest cost | 413 | 389 |
| Net periodic benefit cost | $564 | $530 |
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 – 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 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 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 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) 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:
| Level 1 | – | Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. |
|---|---|---|
| Level 2 | – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. |
| Level 3 | – | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available. |
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:
| September 24,2026 | June 25,2026 | September 25,2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying value of current and long-term debt: | $49,612 | $49,813 | $32,345 |
| Fair value of current and long-term debt: | 48,616 | 48,955 | 31,936 |
The estimated fair value of our current and 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 13 – Segment Reporting
As of September 24, 2026, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is comprised of the chief executive officer and chief operating officer who review financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. As such, we operate in a single reporting unit and operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut related products and bars through three distribution channels, almost entirely within the United States. A description of how the Company derives revenues is included in Note 2–“Revenue Recognition”.
The CODM uses consolidated net income as the measure of segment profit or loss to make key operating decisions, monitor budget versus actual results and allocate resources. The CODM compares net income to prior year to assess year-over-year growth of the Company and compares net income to budget to evaluate how the Company is performing against internal expectations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as total assets. Depreciation, amortization and purchases of property, plant and equipment are reported at the consolidated level on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM are those presented on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. These significant expenses include cost of sales, selling expenses and administrative expenses. Other segment items include interest expense, net rental and miscellaneous expense, pension expense and income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Depreciation expense was $6,771 for the quarter ended September 24, 2026 and $6,842 for the quarter ended September 25, 2025.
Note 14 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following recent accounting pronouncements have not yet been adopted:
In November 2024, the FASB issued (and revised in January 2025) ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01: Income Statement - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This update requires entities to disaggregate income statement expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, which will be applicable in our fiscal 2028 10-K. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
