SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Quarterly Report") contains “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will” or “would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

our expectations regarding our revenue, expenses and other operating results;
our ability to acquire new customers and successfully retain existing customers;

VITAL FARMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Vital Farms, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) 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 sold under the trade names Vital Farms and RedHill Farms, primarily to retail and foodservice channels in the United States.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 26, 2023 and for the 13-week periods ended March 26, 2023 and March 27, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022 (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 our consolidated financial position as of March 26, 2023, consolidated results of operations for the 13-week periods ended March 26, 2023 and March 27, 2022, and consolidated cash flows for the 13-week periods ended March 26, 2023 and March 27, 2022. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature and certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 2022 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the audited annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the 13-week period ended March 26, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

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 26, 2023 and March 27, 2022 both contain operating results for 13 weeks. The fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 will include 53 weeks.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies and estimates used in preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022, and the notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report. Other than the adoption of the new accounting pronouncements and standards as further described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the 13-week period ended March 26, 2023, except for the following.

As of December 26, 2022, the Company has entered into derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy. Our business operations give rise to certain market risk exposures, mostly due to changes in commodity prices. We use derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to commodity price risk. Credit risks associated with derivative contracts are not significant, as the Company minimizes counterparty exposure by dealing with credit-worthy counterparties and collateralized insurers and by utilizing exchange traded instruments and insurance backed commodity settlement contracts. While the Company may be exposed to potential losses due to the credit risk of non-performance by these counterparties, losses are not anticipated. We do not hold derivative instruments for trading purposes. Additionally, the Company’s derivative contracts are short-term in duration, and do not make use of credit-risk-related contingent features.

Derivatives used to manage commodity price risk are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, the changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded as incurred within other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash flows related to derivative instruments are considered an investing activity of the Company. Cash settlements we receive represent realized gains on derivative instruments, while cash settlements we pay represent realized losses related to our commodity derivative instruments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

7


 

The new accounting pronouncements recently adopted by the Company are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022, and the notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report. Except as described below, there have been no new accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company during the 13-week period ended March 26, 2023.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance, ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02, ASU 2020-03 and ASU 2022-02 (collectively, “Topic 326”), to introduce a new impairment model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. Topic 326 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on December 26, 2022. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. There was no impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at adoption.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which intends to simplify the guidance by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and clarifying or amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 during fiscal year 2022 and there was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 25, 2022 or on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein.

For the 13-week periods ended March 26, 2023 and March 27, 2022, there were no proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities. During the 13-week period ended March 26, 2023, the unrealized losses in our U.S. corporate bond portfolio consist of losses on 81 diversified issuances with credit ratings ranging from BBB to AAA. As of March 26, 2023, there are no individual bonds with unrealized losses exceeding $73, and 59 issuances have been in a loss position greater than 12 months with aggregate unrealized losses of $1,198.

The decline in fair value has resulted primarily from rising interest rates over the last 12 months, and the Company does not believe there has been any significant decline in the creditworthiness of the issuers. The Company also does not believe it is likely that the bonds will be called early and it does not have current liquidity needs that would necessitate a sale of any material investments prior to maturity. Therefore, the Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses on the investment securities as of March 26, 2023.
