Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.    NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Lamb Weston”) is a leading global producer, distributor, and marketer of value-added frozen potato products and is headquartered in Eagle, Idaho. Beginning in fiscal 2024, in connection with our recent acquisitions and to align with our expanded global footprint, we began managing our operations in two reportable segments: North America and International. See Note 12, Segments, for additional information on our reportable segments.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements present the financial results of Lamb Weston and its consolidated subsidiaries for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 26, 2023 and November 27, 2022, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”).

These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements and consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The preparation of financial statements involves the use of estimates and accruals. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from those estimates. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for our full fiscal year, which ends the last Sunday in May.

These financial statements and related condensed notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), where we include additional information on our critical accounting estimates, policies, and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates. We filed the Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 25, 2023.

Certain amounts from prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) in response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, and align the ASC’s requirements with the SEC’s regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending May 25, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

8

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

There were no other accounting pronouncements recently issued that had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods presented:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	November 26,		November 27,		November 26,		November 27,
(in millions, except per share amounts)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Numerator:
Net income	$	215.0	$	103.1	$	449.8	$	335.0
Denominator:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		144.9		144.0		145.3		144.0
Add: Dilutive effect of employee incentive plans (a)		0.6		0.6		0.7		0.6
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		145.5		144.6		146.0		144.6
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	1.48	$	0.72	$	3.10	$	2.33
Diluted	$	1.48	$	0.71	$	3.08	$	2.32

(a) Potential dilutive shares of common stock under employee incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and performance awards. As of November 26, 2023, 0.7 million shares of stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would be antidilutive. As of November 27, 2022, 0.6 million shares of stock-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would be antidilutive.

3.    INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 26, 2023 and November 27, 2022 was as follows:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	November 26,		November 27,		November 26,		November 27,
(in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Income before income taxes and equity method earnings	$	276.5	$	247.2	$	569.1	$	378.2
Equity method investment earnings (loss)		4.7		(107.3)		16.8		67.3
Income tax expense		66.2		36.8		136.1		110.5
Effective tax rate (a)		23.5%		26.3%		23.2%		24.8%

(a) The effective income tax rate is calculated as the ratio of income tax expense to pre-tax income, inclusive of equity method investment earnings. The effective tax rate varies from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% principally due to the impact of U.S. state taxes, foreign taxes and currency, permanent differences, and discrete items.

Income Taxes Paid

Income taxes paid, net of refunds, were $101.1 million and $92.1 million during the twenty-six weeks ended November 26, 2023 and November 27, 2022, respectively.

(in millions)	2023		2023
Raw materials and packaging	$	337.2	$	145.7
Finished goods		732.0		708.3
Supplies and other		84.4		78.0
Inventories	$	1,153.6	$	932.0

5.    PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The components of property, plant and equipment were as follows:

	November 26,		May 28,
(in millions)	2023		2023
Land and land improvements	$	169.2	$	163.2
Buildings, machinery and equipment		3,915.0		3,576.6
Furniture, fixtures, office equipment and other		120.0		112.0
Construction in progress		972.5		832.0
Property, plant and equipment, at cost		5,176.7		4,683.8
Less accumulated depreciation		(2,003.1)		(1,875.8)
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	3,173.6	$	2,808.0

Depreciation expense was $66.5 million and $49.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 26, 2023 and November 27, 2022, respectively; and $132.4 million and $97.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 26, 2023 and November 27, 2022, respectively. At November 26, 2023 and May 28, 2023, purchases of property, plant and equipment included in accounts payable were $188.7 million and $82.6 million, respectively.
