Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in compliance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements and the related notes are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Oil-Dri Corporation of America and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. Except as otherwise indicated herein or as the context otherwise requires, references to "Oil-Dri," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" refer to Oil-Dri Corporation of America and its subsidiaries.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and reclassifications which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the statements contained herein. Operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2025, are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026.
Stock Split
On October 9, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors (our "Board") approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend. Stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 20, 2024 received a distribution of one additional share of Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock"), for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder and one additional share of Class B Stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Class B Stock"), for each share of Class B Stock held by such stockholder as of the record date. The additional shares were distributed on January 3, 2025, and our Common Stock began trading on a post-split basis on January 6, 2025.
The stock split did not affect the par value of the Common Stock or Class B Stock, however, in order to implement the stock split, we amended our Certificate of Incorporation on December 11, 2024 to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 15 million to 30 million. Proportionate adjustments were made to the number of shares that remain available for issuance pursuant to the Amended and Restated Oil-Dri Corporation of America 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2006 Plan"), as well as to the outstanding awards under the 2006 Plan.
Unless noted, all Common Stock and Class B Stock share and per share amounts contained in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the stock split. The impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity herein was an increase of $0.8 million to Common Stock and Class B Stock, with an offsetting decrease in Additional Paid-In-Capital, which has been retroactively adjusted as if the stock split had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The change in treasury shares reflects the stock split on shares held by wholly owned subsidiaries which are presented as treasury shares on a consolidated basis.
Management Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosures. Estimates and assumptions about future events cannot be made with certainty. All of our estimates and assumptions are revised periodically. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies, which are summarized in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, have not materially changed. The following is a description of certain of our significant accounting policies:

Trade Receivables. We recognize trade receivables when control of finished products is transferred to our customers. We record an allowance for credit losses based on our expectations and a periodic review of our accounts receivable, including a review of the overall aging of accounts, consideration of customer credit risk, and analysis of facts and circumstances about specific accounts. A customer account is determined to be uncollectible when it is probable that a loss will be incurred after we have completed our internal collection procedures, including termination of shipments, direct customer contact and formal demand of payment. We retain outside collection agencies to facilitate our collection efforts. Past due status is determined based on contractual terms and customer payment history. We also include an allowance for expected cash discounts to be taken by our customers. Accounts receivable was $66.5 million, $69.4 million, and $62.2 million as of October 31, 2025, July 31, 2025, and July 31, 2024, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment includes depreciable assets such as building, machinery, equipment, furniture, vehicles, and capitalized spare parts. These assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life or increase functionality of the applicable assets are expensed as incurred. Interest expense may also be capitalized for assets that require a period of time to prepare them for their intended use.

These assets are carried at cost on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are reviewed for possible impairment on an annual basis or when circumstances indicate that an asset may become impaired. We take into consideration idle and underutilized equipment and review business plans for possible impairment. When impairment is indicated, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair market value.
The composition of property, plant and equipment is as follows (in thousands):

Gross property, plant and equipment$359,217 $356,079 
Accumulated depreciation and amortization(210,537)(206,375)
Total Property, Plant and Equipment, Net$148,680 $149,704 


Land, Mining Property and Mineral Rights. We surface mine sorbent minerals on property that we either own or lease as part of our overall operations. A significant part of our overall mining cost is incurred during the process of removing the overburden (non-usable material) from the mine site, thus exposing the sorbent material used in a majority of our production processes. These stripping costs are treated as a variable inventory production cost and are included in cost of goods sold in the period they are incurred. We defer and amortize the pre-production overburden removal costs during the development phase associated with opening a new mine.

Additionally, it is our policy to capitalize the purchase cost of land and mineral rights, including associated legal, survey and real estate fees. The costs of obtaining mineral rights, including legal fees and drilling expenses, are also capitalized. Pre-production development costs on new mines and any prepaid royalties that may be offset against future royalties due upon extraction of the minerals are also capitalized. All exploration related costs are expensed as incurred.

Reclamation. We perform ongoing reclamation activities during the normal course of our overburden removal. As overburden is removed from a mine site, it is hauled to previously mined sites and is used to refill older sites. This process allows us to continuously reclaim older mine sites and dispose of overburden simultaneously, therefore minimizing the costs associated with the reclamation process.

On an annual basis we evaluate our potential reclamation liability in accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. The reclamation assets are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective mines. The reclamation liabilities are increased based on a yearly accretion charge over the estimated useful lives of the respective mines.
Leases. ASC 842, Leases, provides that a contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset and, accordingly, a lease liability and a related right-of-use ("ROU") asset is recognized at the commencement date on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As provided in ASC 842, we have elected not to apply these measurements and recognition requirements to short-term leases (i.e., leases with a term of 12 months or less). Short-term leases will not be recorded as ROU assets or lease liabilities on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the related lease payments will be recognized in net earnings on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases other than short-term leases, the lease liability is equal to the present value of unpaid lease payments over the remaining lease term. The lease term may reflect options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such options will be exercised. To determine the present value of the lease liability, we use an incremental borrowing rate, which is defined as the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow (on a collateralized basis over a similar term) an amount equal to the lease payments in similar economic environments. The ROU asset is based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for certain costs such as initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments and lease incentives received. Both operating and finance lease ROU assets are reviewed for impairment, consistent with other long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. After a ROU asset is impaired, any remaining balance of the ROU asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life. After the lease commencement date, we evaluate lease modifications, if any, that could result in a change in the accounting for leases.

Certain of our leases provide for variable lease payments that vary due to changes in facts and circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or rate (e.g., the Consumer Price Index) are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability and the ROU asset. Variable lease payments that are not known at the commencement date and are determinable based on the performance or use of the underlying asset, are expensed as incurred. Our variable lease payments primarily include common area maintenance charges based on the percentage of the total square footage leased and the usage of assets, such as photocopiers.

Some of our contracts may contain lease components as well as non-lease components, such as an agreement to purchase services. As allowed under ASC 842, we have elected not to separate the lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes, and we will not allocate the contract consideration to these components. This policy was applied to all existing leases upon adoption of ASC 842 and will be applied to new leases on an ongoing basis.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with customers are satisfied. Our performance obligation generally consists of the promise to sell finished products to wholesalers, distributors, retailers or consumers and our obligations have an original duration of one year or less. Control of the finished products are transferred upon shipment to, or receipt at, customers' locations, as determined by the specific terms of the orders. We have completed our performance obligation when control is transferred, and we recognize revenue accordingly. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from net sales. Sales returns are not material nor are warranties or any related obligations.

We have an unconditional right to consideration under the payment terms specified in the contracts upon completion of the
performance obligation. We may require certain customers to provide payment in advance of product shipment. We recorded a
liability for these advance payments of $0.5 million as of October 31, 2025, and $0.3 million as of July 31, 2025. This liability is reported in Other within Accrued Expenses on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. There was $0.3 million revenue recognized during the three months ended October 31, 2025, that was included in the liability for advance payments at the beginning of the period.

We routinely commit to one-time or ongoing trade promotion programs directly with consumers, such as coupon programs, and also with customers, such as volume discounts, cooperative marketing and other arrangements. We estimate and accrue the expected costs of these programs. These costs are considered variable consideration under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and are netted against sales when revenue is recorded. The accruals are based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing obligations on products sold as of the balance sheet date. To estimate these accruals, we rely on our historical experience of trade spending patterns and that of the industry, current trends and forecasted data.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") include salaries, wages and benefits associated with staff outside the manufacturing and distribution functions, all marketing related costs, any miscellaneous trade spending expenses not required to be included in net sales, research and development costs, depreciation and amortization related to assets outside the manufacturing and distribution process, and all other non-manufacturing and non-distribution expenses.
Other Current and Noncurrent Liabilities. Other liabilities include the accruals for general expenses not yet paid, cash collected not yet vouchered, legal reserves, postretirement health benefit obligations, and reclamation liability accrual. Current liabilities are due to be paid within the next 12 months. Other noncurrent liabilities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet include $6.0 million and $5.9 million for the reclamation liability as of October 31, 2025, and July 31, 2025, respectively, and $1.6 million for the postretirement health benefit as of October 31, 2025, and July 31, 2025.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"). These amendments primarily require enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. In addition, ASU No. 2023-07 also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. These amendments are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Refer to Note 10 - Operating Segments of this Form 10-Q for the enhanced disclosures added as a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-07.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." These amendments primarily require enhanced disclosures and disaggregation of income tax information by jurisdiction in the annual income tax reconciliation and quantitative disclosures regarding income taxes paid. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). The pronouncement expands the disclosure requirements for expenses, specifically by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU 2025-05"), which provides a practical expedient that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged when developing forecasts for estimating expected credit losses. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose that it has elected to use the practical expedient and the election should be applied prospectively. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"), which provides clarification and improvements to the accounting for internal-use software costs under ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. The guidance includes amendments related to capitalization of implementation costs, subsequent measurement, and related presentation and disclosure requirements. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.
