In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company reported a net loss. In periods in which the Company recognizes a net loss, the Company excludes the impact of outstanding stock awards from the diluted loss per share calculation, as its inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

As of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, there were 39,543 and 56,261 outstanding stock options, respectively, with exercise prices that exceeded the average market price of common stock during the respective periods. As such, these options were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.
