These nuts are sold under our Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand and Southern Style Nuts brand names and under a variety of private brands. We also market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snack and trail mixes, nutrition bars, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under our brand names and under private brands. In addition, with our acquisition of the Just the Cheese brand, we have expanded our product offerings to include baked cheese snack products on a branded and private label basis. Our products are sold through three primary distribution channels, including food retailers in the consumer channel, commercial ingredient users and contract packaging 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. The balance sheet data as of June 30, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Note 2 – Acquisition of Just the Cheese Brand

On December 16, 2022, we completed the acquisition of certain assets (the “Acquisition”) of Specialty Cheese Company, Inc. The acquired assets are primarily related to the manufacturing and sale of baked cheese snack products, including those products sold under the Just the Cheese brand, all finished goods inventory and intangible assets. At the time of the closing of the Acquisition, the full purchase price of $3,500 was paid in cash and funded from our Credit Facility (as defined below). Just the Cheese is one of the nation’s leading baked cheese snacking brands and offers 100% real cheese snack bars and cheese crisps. The Acquisition will provide us with a product that expands our portfolio into new snacking categories and is anticipated to accelerate growth with our private brand and food service customers. The Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”.

The final purchase price allocation was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 which resulted in immaterial changes to fixed assets and customer relationships. The total purchase price of $3,500 has been allocated to the fair values of the assets acquired as follows:

The customer relationship assets represent the value of the long-term strategic relationship with significant customers who purchase Just the Cheese brand products. The brand name asset represents the value of the established Just the Cheese brand name.

Goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, arises from intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition and expected synergies from combining the operations related to the Just the Cheese brand with those of the Company. There were no material contingencies recognized or unrecognized associated with the Acquisition.

Due to the immaterial financial nature of the Acquisition, unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company (as if the Acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2023) will not be presented.

Since the Acquisition, we continue to operate in a single reportable operating segment that consists of selling various nut and nut-related products through three sales distribution channels.

Note 3 – 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 and trail mixes.

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.

Table of Contents

 

Variable Consideration

Some of our products are sold through specific incentive programs including, but not limited to, promotional allowances, volume and customer rebates, in-store display incentives and marketing allowances 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 and is 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. There was no contract asset balance for any periods presented. The Company generally does not have material deferred revenue or contract liability balances arising from transactions with customers.

Note 4 – Leases

Description of Leases

We lease equipment used in the transportation of goods in our warehouses, as well as a limited number of automobiles and a small warehouse near our Bainbridge, Georgia facility. Our leases generally do not contain non-lease components and do not contain any explicit guarantees of residual value. Our leases for warehouse transportation equipment generally require the equipment to be returned to the lessor in good working order.

Table of Contents

 

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. None of our 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 5.5 years.

It is our accounting policy to not apply lease recognition requirements to short term leases, which are 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.

The following table provides supplemental information related to operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities:

Lessor Accounting

We lease office space in our four-story office building located in Elgin, Illinois. As a lessor, we retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment property and 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 7 – Credit Facility

Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 5, 2020 provides for a $117,500 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property and fixtures.

At March 30, 2023, we had $85,485 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $27,825 and reduced availability as a result of $4,190 in outstanding letters of credit. As of March 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

Note 12 – 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 Company’s 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, which 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 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board 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:

The estimated fair value of our 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 14 – Garysburg, North Carolina Facility

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022 we sold the Garysburg property and remaining equipment located at the property to a third party for $4,000, subject to customary adjustments to reflect closing costs, which resulted in a $2,349 gain.

Note 15 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no recent accounting pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year.

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that have been issued and not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 2023 and fiscal 2022 are to the 52 week fiscal year ending June 29, 2023 and the 53 week fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
References herein to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 are to the quarters ended March 30, 2023 and March 24, 2022, respectively.
References herein to the first three quarters or first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 are to the thirty-nine weeks ended March 30, 2023 and March 24, 2022, respectively.

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.

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under our Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand and Southern Style Nuts brand names and under a variety of private brands. We also market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snack and trail mixes, nutrition bars, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under our brand names and under private brands. In addition, with our acquisition of the Just the Cheese brand, we have expanded our product offerings to include baked cheese snack products on a branded and private label basis. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredients and contract packaging distribution channels.

During fiscal 2022, we created a Long-Range Plan to define our future growth priorities. Our Long-Range Plan focuses on growing our non-branded business across key customers, as well as transforming Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Squirrel Brand into leading brands while increasing distribution and diversifying our portfolio into high growth snacking segments. We plan to execute on our Long-Range Plan by providing our non-branded customers with value-added solutions based on our extensive industry and consumer expertise with innovative products such as our newly developed product line of private brand nutrition bars which were introduced during the current third quarter. We will grow our branded business by reaching new consumers via product expansion and packaging innovation, expanding distribution across current and alternative channels, diversifying our product offerings and focusing on new ways for consumers to buy our products, including sales via e-commerce platforms. This Long-Range Plan also contemplates increasing our sales through product innovation and targeted, opportunistic acquisitions, such as the acquisition of the Just the Cheese brand completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

We will continue to focus our promotional and advertising activity to invest in our brands to achieve growth. We intend to execute an omnichannel approach to win in key categories including recipe nuts, snack nuts, trail mix and other snacking categories. We continue to see e-commerce growth across our branded portfolio and anticipate taking various actions with the goal of accelerating that growth across a variety of established and emerging platforms. We will continue to face the ongoing challenges specific to our business, such as food safety and regulatory issues and the maintenance and growth of our customer base for branded and private label products. See the information referenced in Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties.

We face a number of challenges in the future, which include the impacts of ongoing inflation in food and other input prices, rising interest rates that reduce economic growth, potential for economic downturn in the markets in which we operate and continued supply chain challenges. We have also experienced a tightening in the labor market for those employed at our production facilities, which has led to increased labor costs.

Inflation and Consumer Trends

We face changing industry trends as consumers' purchasing preferences evolve. Due to significant inflation, including higher commodity acquisition costs in fiscal 2022, we have seen higher selling prices at retail. With higher prices across our categories and the broader food market, and also due to any actual or potential economic downturn, consumers may purchase fewer snack products. We have seen this through the decline in the recipe and snack nut categories during the current fiscal year, as consumers shift their preferences to private brands or lower priced nuts or purchase snack products outside the nut and trail mix category. With the inflationary environment, we are also seeing signs of consumers shifting to more value-focused retailers, such as mass merchandising retailers, club stores and dollar stores, not all of which we distribute or sell to.

Supply Chain and Transportation

In recent quarters, we have faced challenges with shortages and cost increases for shipping pallets, packaging, imported ingredients, transportation and shipping availability. The conflict in Ukraine has further exacerbated supply chain disruptions, especially related to sunflower oil used in roasting nut products and sunflower lecithin used in many confectionery ingredients. Global supply is improving but is reliant on continued Ukraine shipments. We have been able to temporarily mitigate our risk for these ingredients by working with customers and suppliers to secure additional sourcing or reformulate products. Overall packaging costs appear to be leveling off but remain well above historical levels. In addition, we are seeing some relief in select ingredient categories with reformulations and substitutions, but lead-times remain long compared to historical lead-times.

We have also experienced supply chain issues related to a shortage in capacity in the transportation industry. This tightening in transportation capacity began to ease during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and has continued to ease into fiscal 2023 due to inflationary costs decreasing demand in the freight market. Although we have seen stabilization in truckload capacity and volume at U.S. ports and improvements with driver hiring, there are still warehouse and dock staff shortages and fuel and energy concerns due to continued unrest abroad coupled with persistent inflation. Fuel prices that were at record highs during spring and summer 2022 have begun to decrease, yet still remain volatile. While there are indicators of transportation cost improvement, and despite our mitigation of some of the transportation shortages and maintaining high service levels, we may continue to face an unpredictable transportation environment. There is no guarantee that our mitigation strategies will continue to be effective, that any transportation capacity easing will continue or that transportation prices will return to more normalized levels.

These shortages and related challenges have impacted our operations and resulted in increased expenses and manufacturing inefficiencies that have negatively impacted (and may continue to impact) our net income. We anticipate pricing relief in some of these areas in the coming quarters, if and as shortages decrease and supply chains normalize; however, we expect that some costs may remain elevated or unpredictable for a longer period of time, particularly as the conflict in Ukraine continues.

We are working, and will continue to work, with our vendors, customers and suppliers to source additional raw materials and packaging supplies and to remain flexible in obtaining the transportation and labor services we need. If these shortages and other supply chain issues continue to create a challenge in securing adequate supplies to fulfill customer orders, or we cannot obtain the transportation and labor services needed, such shortages and supply chain issues could have an unfavorable impact on net sales and our operations during the remainder of fiscal year 2023 and into fiscal 2024. Additionally, as costs increase due to these issues or due to overall inflationary pressures, there is an additional risk of not being able to pass (in part or in full) such potential cost increases onto our customers or in a timely manner. If we cannot align costs with prices for our products, our operating performance could be adversely impacted.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Our net sales of $238.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 9.1% from our net sales of $218.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Net sales for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 increased by $67.3 million, or 9.6%, to $765.5 million compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022.

Sales volume, measured as pounds sold to customers, increased 5.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Sales volume for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 increased 0.8% compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022.

Gross profit increased by $10.4 million, and our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 20.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 18.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross profit increased $13.5 million, and our gross profit margin was unchanged at 20.5% for both the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by $6.0 million, or 27.1%, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. As a percentage of net sales, total operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased to 11.7% from 10.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. For the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023, total operating expenses increased $7.8 million, and total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was unchanged at 11.5% compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022.

The total value of inventories on hand at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased $20.8 million, or 9.8%, in comparison to the total value of inventories on hand at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

We have seen acquisition costs for all major tree nuts decrease and acquisition costs for peanuts increase modestly in the 2022 crop year (which falls into our current 2023 fiscal year). We completed procurement of inshell walnuts during the first half of fiscal 2022, and the final total payments due to our walnut growers were determined in the current quarter. The final prices paid, and remaining to be paid to the walnut growers, were based upon current market prices and other factors, such as crop size and export demand. A large majority of payments to walnut growers were completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Remaining amounts to be paid to walnut growers as of March 30, 2023 are final and are not subject to revision. We increased our walnut grower liability by approximately $1.2 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as the final payments due to walnut growers are slightly more than the amounts estimated at the end of the second quarter. This increase is insignificant compared to our total inshell walnut procurement costs for the year, and the portion of the adjustment to cost of sales was immaterial to our results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Our net sales increased 9.1% to $238.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to net sales of $218.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in net sales was attributable to a 5.0% increase in sales volume, which is defined as pounds sold to customers, and a 3.9% increase in the weighted average sales price per pound. The increase in the weighted average selling price per pound was mainly due to the normalization of selling prices with tree nut acquisition costs, as well as higher commodity acquisition costs for peanuts and dried fruit. The increase in sales volume was primarily driven by increased sales of peanut butter.

For the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 our net sales were $765.5 million, an increase of $67.3 million, or 9.6%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2022. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to a 8.8% increase in the weighted average selling price per pound, and a 0.8% increase in sales volume. The increase in the weighted average selling price resulted from higher commodity acquisition costs for pecans, cashews, peanuts and dried fruit.

The following table summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

Sales of branded products were approximately 22% of total consumer sales during each of the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022. Fisher branded products were approximately 66% and 64% of branded sales during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively, with Orchard Valley Harvest branded products accounting for the majority of the remaining branded product sales.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased $11.5 million, or 6.6%, and sales volume increased 2.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The sales volume increase was mostly driven by an increase in private brand sales volume due to new private brand peanut butter business at a mass merchandising retailer and increased peanut butter distribution at a grocery store retailer. Also contributing to the increase was a 20.8% increase in sales volume of Orchard Valley Harvest products due to the timing of sales to a major customer in the non-food sector who delayed their orders from the previous quarter and increased promotional support at the same customer. These increases were substantially offset by lost private brand distribution at a grocery store retailer that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Sales volume of Fisher snack nuts decreased 16.7% due to decreased merchandising activity at a major customer and a seasonal rotation at a club store that did not repeat in the current quarter. Sales volume of Fisher recipe nuts increased 6.4% as a result of increased distribution at a mass merchandising retailer.

In the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023, net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased $49.3 million, or 8.9%, and sales volume decreased 0.3% compared to the same period of fiscal 2022. The sales volume decrease was driven by lost private brand distribution at the grocery store retailer cited in the quarterly comparison, which was largely offset by increased distribution at a mass merchandising retailer and at a grocery store retailer.

Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased 21.1% in dollars and 18.9% in sales volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in sales volume was due to a 30.5% increase in sales volume to foodservice customers due to increased peanut butter distribution at existing customers.

In the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023, net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased 11.5% in dollars and 3.9% in sales volume compared to the same period of fiscal 2022. The increase in sales volume was due to a 15.3% increase in sales volume to foodservice customers for the reason cited in the quarterly comparison and also due to the continued recovery in the restaurant industry from the impacts of COVID-19 restrictions. This increase was partially offset by lower sales of bulk products to other food manufacturers as a result of reduced consumption from softened consumer spending.

Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased 15.9% in dollars and 7.5% in sales volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase in sales volume was primarily due to increased peanut and cashew distribution by an existing major customer.

In the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023, net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased 14.5% in dollars and sales volume increased 4.2% compared to the same period of fiscal 2022. The increase in sales volume was primarily attributable to the reason cited in the quarterly comparison and business with a new customer.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $10.4 million, or 26.3%, to $49.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 20.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 18.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, as gross profit margins returned to more normalized levels. The prior comparable quarter gross profit margin was negatively impacted by higher than anticipated commodity acquisition costs and other inflationary cost increases. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to the reasons noted above and increased sales volume.

22


Table of Contents

 

Gross profit was $156.9 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to $143.4 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022 primarily due to a higher net sales base. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of sales, was unchanged at 20.5% for both the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by $6.0 million, or 27.1%, to $28.0 million. Operating expenses increased to 11.7% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 10.1% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Selling expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $18.1 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 16.2%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was driven primarily by a $2.3 million increase in compensation expense, primarily related to incentive compensation, a $0.4 million increase in consumer insight research and related consulting expenses, a $0.2 million increase in sales broker commission expense and a $0.2 million increase in sample expense related to a new product line launched in the current third quarter. These increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in freight expense due to a decrease in freight rates.

Administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $9.8 million compared to $6.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was due to a $2.8 million increase in compensation expense, primarily related to incentive compensation, and a $0.5 million decrease in miscellaneous income as a result of a one-time gain in the comparable quarter which did not reoccur in the current quarter.

Total operating expenses for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 increased by $7.8 million, or 9.7%, to $88.2 million. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was unchanged at 11.5% for both the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

Selling expenses for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 were $57.9 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 1.8%, from the amount recorded for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022. The increase was driven primarily by a $3.1 million increase in compensation expense, primarily related to incentive compensation, a $0.7 million increase in sales broker commission expense and a $0.4 million increase in sample expense for the same reason cited in the quarterly comparison. These increases were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in freight expense due to a decrease in freight rates and $1.7 million decrease in advertising, consumer insight research and related consulting expenses.

Administrative expenses for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 were $30.3 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 17.1%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in compensation expense, primarily related to incentive compensation, and a $0.6 million increase in audit and legal expenses primarily for Acquisition-related costs, which were partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in the loss on asset disposals.

The $2.3 million gain on sale of facility in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022 was the result of the sale of our Garysburg, North Carolina facility.

Income from Operations

Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations was $21.8 million, or 9.1% of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $17.4 million, or 8.0% of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations was $68.7 million, or 9.0% of net sales, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to $63.0 million, or 9.0% of net sales, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $0.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Interest expense was $1.8 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to $1.3 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022. The increase in interest expense for both the quarterly and year to date comparisons was due to higher weighted average interest rates.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.4 million for both the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022. Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $1.1 million for both the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.

Pension Expense (Excluding Service Costs)

Pension expense (excluding service costs) was $0.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Pension expense (excluding service costs) was $1.0 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to $1.9 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022. The decrease in pension expense (excluding service costs) for both the quarterly and year to date comparisons was primarily due to a decrease in the unrecognized net loss remaining to be amortized, which was a result of a large actuarial gain in the prior fiscal year.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $4.8 million, or 23.4% of income before income taxes (the “Effective Tax Rate”), for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $4.0 million, or 25.2% of income before income taxes, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the Effective Tax Rate for the quarterly comparison is primarily due to a decrease in state income tax expense. For the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023, income tax expense was $16.6 million, or 25.6% of income before income taxes, compared to $14.4 million, or 24.5% of income before income taxes, for the comparable period last year. The increase in the Effective Tax Rate for the current thirty-nine week period is mainly due to the favorable impact of $0.7 million of discrete tax benefits from share-based compensation recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 that did not reoccur in the current fiscal year.

Net Income

Net income was $15.7 million, or $1.36 per common share basic and $1.35 per common share diluted, for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $11.9 million, or $1.03 per common share basic and $1.02 per common share diluted, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net income was $48.2 million, or $4.16 per common share basic and $4.14 per common share diluted, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023, compared to net income of $44.4 million, or $3.85 per common share basic and $3.83 per common share diluted, for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, pursue our Long-Range Plan through growing our branded and private label programs, return cash to our stockholders through dividends, repay indebtedness and pay amounts owed under the Retirement Plan. Also, various uncertainties, including cost uncertainties, could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash are results of operations and availability under our Credit Facility. We anticipate that expected net cash flow generated from operations and amounts available pursuant to the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Our available credit under our Credit Facility has allowed us to devote more funds to promote our products, increase consumer insight capabilities and promotional efforts, reinvest in the Company through capital expenditures, develop new products, pay cash dividends, consummate strategic investments and business acquisitions, such as the Acquisition, and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Long-Range Plan.

Cash flows from operating activities have historically been driven by net income but are also significantly influenced by inventory requirements, which can change based upon fluctuations in both quantities and market prices of the various nuts and nut products we buy and sell. Current market trends in nut prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $72.4 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $12.6 million for the comparative period of fiscal 2022. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily due to a decreased use of working capital for inventory compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022 as a result of decreasing commodity acquisition costs.

Total inventories were $190.4 million at March 30, 2023, a decrease of $14.5 million, or 7.1%, from the inventory balance at June 30, 2022, and a decrease of $20.8 million, or 9.8%, from the inventory balance at March 24, 2022. The decrease in inventories at March 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022 was primarily due to lower commodity acquisition costs for all major tree nuts and lower quantities of work-in-process and finished goods on hand, which were partially offset by higher quantities of pecans, walnuts, cashews and other raw materials. The decrease in inventories at March 30, 2023 compared to March 24, 2022 was primarily due to lower commodity acquisition costs for all major tree nuts. This decrease was partially offset by higher acquisition costs for peanuts and other raw materials and higher quantities of other raw materials and cashews on hand.

Raw nut and dried fruit input stocks, some of which are classified as work-in-process, increased by 1.1 million pounds, or 1.8%, at March 30, 2023 compared to March 24, 2022 due to higher quantities of inshell walnuts and cashews on hand, partially offset by lower quantities of almonds and inshell pecans. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 24.1% compared to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily due to lower commodity acquisition costs for all major tree nuts.

Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities was $19.1 million during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to $6.5 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash used in investing activities was partially attributable to the $3.9 million of net proceeds received from the disposition of the Garysburg, North Carolina facility, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and the $3.2 million of cash proceeds resulting from the Sanfilippo family's exercise of their contractual purchase option and our resulting sale of certain life insurance policies to the Sanfilippo family, which occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Neither event reoccurred in the current fiscal year. The $3.5 million purchase price for the acquisition of the Just the Cheese brand also contributed to the increase in cash used for investing activities. Capital asset purchases were $15.6 million during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to $12.8 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022. We expect total capital expenditures for new equipment, facility upgrades, and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2023 to be approximately $20.0 to $23.0 million. Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and borrowings available under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements for planned capital expenditures.

Financing Activities Cash used in financing activities was $53.3 million during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to cash provided of $19.0 million for the same period last year. Net repayments under our Credit Facility were $12.6 million during the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2023 compared to net borrowings of $57.2 million for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2022. The decrease in credit facility borrowings was primarily due to decreasing commodity acquisition costs. Dividends paid in the first half of fiscal 2023 were approximately $3.0 million higher than dividends paid in the same period last year.

Real Estate Matters

In August 2008, we completed the consolidation of our Chicago-based facilities into our Elgin headquarters (“Elgin Site”). The Elgin Site includes both an office building and a warehouse. We are currently attempting to find additional tenants for the available space in the office building at the Elgin Site. Until additional tenant(s) are found, we will not receive the benefit of rental income associated with such space. Approximately 69% of the rentable area in the office building is currently vacant. Approximately 29% of the rentable area has not been built-out. There can be no assurance that we will be able to lease the unoccupied space and further capital expenditures will likely be necessary to lease the remaining space.

Financing Arrangements

On February 7, 2008, we entered into the Former Credit Agreement (as defined below) with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 million revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company providing us with term loans for an aggregate amount of $45.0 million (as amended, the “Mortgage Facility”).

On March 5, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated our Credit Agreement dated as of February 7, 2008 (the “Former Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $117.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the same borrowing capacity, interest rates and applicable margin as the Former Credit Agreement and extends the term of the Former Credit Agreement from July 7, 2021 to March 5, 2025.

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property, and fixtures and matures on March 5, 2025. The Mortgage Facility was secured by mortgages on essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois and Gustine, California, but such mortgages have been released in connection with the maturity and repayment of such facility as described below.

Credit Facility

At our election, borrowings under the Credit Facility currently accrue interest at either (i) a rate determined pursuant to the administrative agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the amount of loans which may be advanced under the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% or (ii) a rate based upon the London interbank offered rate plus an applicable margin based upon the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%.

At March 30, 2023, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 7.2%. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that, among other things, require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, acquisitions and certain sales of assets and limit annual cash dividends or distributions, transactions with affiliates, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loan availability under the borrowing base calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis, until loan availability equals or exceeds $25.0 million for three consecutive months. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders have the option to accelerate and demand immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenant or upon the occurrence of other defaults by us under the Credit Facility. As of March 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. At March 30, 2023, we had $85.5 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. If this entire amount were borrowed at March 30, 2023, we would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Facility

The Mortgage Facility was repaid in full in February 2023 and the related mortgages on our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois and Gustine, California have been released.

Selma Property

In September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties (the “Selma Properties”) to two related party partnerships for $14.3 million and are leasing them back. The selling price was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma Properties has a ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. In September 2015, we exercised two of the five-year renewal options which extended the lease term to September 2026. The lease extension also reduced the monthly lease payment on the Selma Properties, beginning in September 2016, to reflect then current market conditions. At the end of each five-year renewal option, the base monthly lease amounts are reassessed, and the monthly payments increased to $114 beginning in September 2021. One five-year renewal option remains. Also, we have an option to purchase the Selma Properties from the owner at 95% (100% in certain circumstances) of the then fair market value, but not less than the original $14.3 million purchase price. The provisions of the arrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting and the $14.3 million was recorded as a debt obligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. As of March 30, 2023, $7.9 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.
