NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Preparation and Presentation

Seneca Foods Corporation (the “Company”) is a leading provider of packaged fruits and vegetables with 26 facilities in eight states in support of its main operations. The Company’s product offerings include canned, frozen and jarred produce, and snack chips. The Company’s fruits and vegetables are sold nationwide by major grocery outlets, including supermarkets, mass merchandisers, limited assortment stores, club stores and dollar stores. The Company also sells its products to foodservice distributors, restaurant chains, industrial markets, other food processors, and export customers in approximately 55 countries, as well as federal, state and local governments for school and other food programs. Additionally, the Company packs canned and frozen vegetables under contract packing agreements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statement presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Due to the seasonal nature of the business, quarterly operating results and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the full year. All references to years are fiscal years ended or ending March 31 unless otherwise indicated. Certain percentage tables may not foot due to rounding.

In certain circumstances, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment to make certain estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. A summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 that was filed with the SEC on June 13, 2024.

Reclassifications — Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation within the condensed consolidated financial statements. There was no impact to any totals or subtotals previously reported on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the reclassifications. Beginning in fiscal year 2024, the restricted cash line item was separately presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the total amounts shown in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

	As of:
	December 28,		December 30,		March 31,
	2024		2023		2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,306	$	7,168	$	4,483
Restricted cash		7,605		7,251		7,370

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires detailed disclosures in the notes to financial statements disaggregating specific expense categories and certain other disclosures to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this pronouncement for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2027, and is in the process of analyzing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) related to income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this pronouncement for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025, and is in the process of analyzing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this pronouncement when it becomes effective for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 annual reporting. Other than the new disclosure requirements, the adoption will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either not applicable or were related to technical amendments or codification.

Subsequent Events — The Company has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure through the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. On February 3, 2025, the Company received approval from the City of Rochester, Minnesota for the sale of land to the city at a selling price of $5.0 million, net of applicable closing costs. The land has a carrying value of $0.6 million. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of the Company’s current fiscal year.

2.	Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition is completed for most customers at a point in time when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms, as the customer can direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset at this point in time. The Company does sell certain finished goods inventory for cash on a bill and hold basis. The terms of the bill and hold agreement(s) provide that title to the specified inventory is transferred to the customer(s) prior to shipment and the Company has the right to payment (prior to physical delivery) which results in recorded revenue as determined under the revenue recognition standard.

In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by product category groups (in thousands):

4.	Inventories

The Company uses the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of valuing inventory as it believes this method allows for better matching of current production cost to current revenue. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels, production pack yields, sales and the expected rate of inflation or deflation for the year. The interim LIFO calculations are subject to adjustment in the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

As of December 28, 2024, December 30, 2023, and March 31, 2024, first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) based inventory costs exceeded LIFO based inventory costs, resulting in a LIFO reserve of $347.8 million, $322.1 million, and $324.8 million, respectively. In order to state inventories at LIFO, the Company recorded an increase to cost of products sold of $10.9 million and $12.0 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively, and an increase to cost of products sold of $23.0 million and $19.6 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.

Debt

Note Payable and Finance Obligation — During fiscal year 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured note payable with an individual lender for an interim financing arrangement associated with deposits paid to vendors for the installation of a new can manufacturing line located at one of the Company’s plant facilities. The note payable had a variable interest rate based upon the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.80% with interest payable monthly.

Subsequent to the final installation of the can manufacturing line in September 2024, the Company took title and recorded an addition to property, plant and equipment of $21.3 million and a corresponding reduction of the vendor deposits which were recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. After taking title to the equipment, the Company and the lender entered into a financing agreement for the can manufacturing line which commenced in September 2024 and is recorded as a finance obligation in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The finance obligation has a maturity date of September 14, 2031. In connection with this transaction the note payable was cancelled.

Revolving Credit Facility — On December 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as agent for the various lenders of a senior revolving credit facility of up to $450 million that is seasonally adjusted to a maximum of $400 million during the months of April through July (the “Revolver”).

The Revolver is secured by substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories and contains borrowing base requirements as well as a financial covenant, if certain circumstances apply. The Company utilizes its Revolver for general corporate purposes, including seasonal working capital needs, to pay debt principal and interest obligations, and to fund capital expenditures and acquisitions. Seasonal working capital needs are affected by the growing cycles of the vegetables the Company packages. The majority of vegetable inventories are produced during the months of June through November and are then sold over the following year. Payment terms for vegetable produce are generally three months but may vary and range from approximately one to seven months. Accordingly, the Company’s need to draw on the Revolver may fluctuate significantly throughout the year.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Revolver contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends on the Company’s capital stock, make other restricted payments, including investments, transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, enter into consolidations or mergers, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The Revolver also requires the Company to meet a financial covenant related to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if (a) an event of default under the Agreement has occurred or (b) availability under the Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the commitments then in effect and (ii) $30.0 million.

The interest rate benchmark for borrowings under the Revolver is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Agreement. In order to maintain availability of funds under the revolving credit facility, the Company pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver. As of December 28, 2024, the unused portion of the Revolver was $400.8 million. The Revolver has a five-year term and matures on December 24, 2029. Accordingly, the Revolver balance is included in Long-Term Debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Agreement refinanced and replaced in its entirety the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 24, 2021, as amended from time to time, with Bank of America, N.A. as agent, issuing bank, and syndication agent, and BofA Securities, Inc. as lead arranger (the “2021 Agreement”). The Agreement maintains many of the key characteristics of the 2021 Agreement including the variable interest rate based on SOFR plus an applicable margin, type of collateral, borrowing base requirements and financial covenant calculation, if applicable.

In connection with the Revolver refinance, certain lenders exited the syndicate and were replaced by new syndicate members. The portion of the transaction in which certain lenders exited was accounted for as an extinguishment resulting in the write-off of an immaterial amount of unamortized deferred costs. The portion of the transaction comprised of lenders that remained in the syndicate was accounted for as a modification, resulting in the Company continuing to defer the remaining unamortized costs over the term of the Revolver. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $1.5 million of new debt issuance costs which will be deferred over the term of the Revolver and amortized on a straight-line basis. On the closing date, a repayment of $70.0 million was made to satisfy the outstanding revolving credit facility obligations immediately prior to the refinance transaction, and a corresponding Revolver borrowing of the same amount was drawn to fund the payment. The condensed consolidated statement of cash flows reflects the payment of debt issuance costs and the gross repayment and borrowing amounts for the Revolver within financing activities.

Term Loans — On May 28, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Guaranty Agreement with Farm Credit East, ACA that provides for a $100.0 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”). The amended and restated agreement has a maturity date of June 1, 2025 and converted the Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of 3.3012% until maturity rather than a variable interest rate in addition to requiring quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million, which commenced during fiscal year 2021. This agreement contains certain covenants, including maintaining a minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth.

On January 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Guaranty Agreement with Farm Credit East, ACA (the “Agreement”) which governs two term loans, as summarized below:

Term Loan A-1: The Agreement continues certain aspects of the $100.0 million term loan described above, namely Term Loan A-1 will continue to bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 3.3012%, mature on June 1, 2025, and remain unsecured. The Company’s historical practice is to hold term debt until maturity. The Company expects to maintain or have access to sufficient liquidity to retire or refinance long-term debt at maturity or otherwise, from operating cash flows, access to the capital markets, and its Revolver. The Company continuously evaluates opportunities to refinance its debt; however, any refinancing is subject to market conditions and other factors, including financing options that may be available to the Company from time to time, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully refinance any debt on commercially acceptable terms at all.

Term Loan A-2: The Agreement adds an additional term loan in the amount of $175.0 million that will mature on January 20, 2028, and is secured by a portion of the Company’s property, plant and equipment. Term Loan A-2 bears interest at a variable interest rate based upon SOFR plus an additional margin determined by the Company’s leverage ratio. Quarterly payments of principal outstanding on Term Loan A-2 in the amount of $1.5 million commenced on March 1, 2023.

On May 23, 2023, the Agreement was amended by the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Guaranty Agreement Amendment which amends, restates and replaces in its entirety Term Loan A-2 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides a single advance term facility in the principal amount of $125.0 million to be combined with the outstanding principal balance of $173.5 million on Term Loan A-2 into one single $298.5 million term loan (“Amended Term Loan A-2”). Amended Term Loan A-2 is secured by a portion of the Company’s property, plant and equipment and bears interest at a variable interest rate based upon SOFR plus an additional margin determined by the Company’s leverage ratio. The maturity date of Amended Term Loan A-2 is January 20, 2028. Quarterly payments of principal outstanding on Amended Term Loan A-2 in the amount of $3.75 million commenced on June 1, 2023. The Amendment continues all aspects of Term Loan A-1 as defined in the Agreement. As of December 28, 2024, the interest rate on Amended Term Loan A-2 was 6.59%.

The Amendment for Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2 (collectively, the “Term Loans”) contains restrictive covenants usual and customary for loans of its type, in addition to financial covenants including minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth which apply to both Terms Loans described above. In connection with the Amended Term Loan A-2, the Company incurred $1.1 million of financing costs which will be deferred and amortized over the life of the term loan.

As of December 28, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants for its revolving credit facility and term loan agreements.

Standby Letters of Credit — The Company has standby letters of credit for certain insurance-related requirements. The majority of the Company’s standby letters of credit are automatically renewed annually, unless the issuer gives cancellation notice in advance. On December 28, 2024, the Company had $7.0 million in outstanding standby letters of credit. These standby letters of credit are supported by the Company’s Revolver and reduce borrowings available under the Revolver.

7.	Leases

The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception of the agreement. Presently, the Company leases land, machinery and equipment under various operating and financing leases.

Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and lease obligations represent the net present value of the Company’s obligation to make payments arising from these leases. ROU assets and lease obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using the implicit lease interest rate or, when unknown, an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date or April 1, 2019 for leases that commenced prior to that date. ROU assets and lease obligations for the Company’s operating and financing leases are disclosed separately in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and the impact of these options are included in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease obligation only when the exercise of the option is at the Company’s sole discretion and it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company will not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases when it is impractical to separate the two. In addition, the Company may have certain leases that have variable payments based solely on output or usage of the leased asset. These variable operating lease assets are excluded from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet presentation and expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, or short-term leases, are not recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are expensed as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the fair values for financial instruments that are recorded at carrying value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value for long-term debt and finance obligation (classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) is determined by the quoted market prices for similar debt (comparable to the Company’s financial strength) or current rates offered to the Company for debt with the same maturities. The fair value and carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt and finance obligation are as follows (in thousands):

	As of:
	December 28,		December 30,		March 31,

Segment Information

The Company conducts its business almost entirely in food packaging with two reportable segments: Vegetable and Fruit/Snack. The reportable segments reflect how the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), allocates resources and evaluates performance, and how the Company's internal management financial reporting is structured. The Company's CODM evaluates the performance of these reportable segments with a focus on earnings (loss) before income taxes as the measure of segment profit or loss.

The Other category consists of the Company's non-food operations including revenue derived from the sale of cans, ends, seed, outside revenue from the Company's aircraft operations, and certain corporate items. These ancillary activities do not qualify as an operating segment and are not eligible for aggregation with one of the identified operating segments; therefore they are combined and presented within the “Other” category.

Segment information is provided on a FIFO basis which is consistent with how financial information is prepared internally and provided to the CODM. The LIFO impact on earnings (loss) before income taxes and total assets is shown separately for purposes of reconciling to the GAAP financial statement measure shown on the condensed consolidated statements of net earnings and condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Asset Acquisition

On November 8, 2023, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement and associated License Agreement with B&G Foods, Inc., (the “Seller”) to acquire certain assets from the Seller relating to its Green Giant® shelf-stable vegetable product line (the “transaction”). The acquired assets include inventory and an associated license which allows the Company to manufacture, market, distribute, and sell Green Giant® shelf-stable vegetable products within the United States in perpetuity. The purchase price was $55.2 million in cash and was funded from borrowings under the Company’s Revolver.

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired were concentrated in a singular asset, the acquired inventory, which was recorded at a value of $52.5 million. Additionally, a portion of the purchase price was used to settle preexisting liabilities of $2.7 million. The amount was comprised of $3.9 million of deferred revenue for which the associated performance obligation had not yet been performed by the Company for the Seller prior to the transaction date, offset by $1.2 million of accompanying deferred costs.

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

Seneca Foods Corporation is a leading provider of packaged fruits and vegetables, with facilities located throughout the United States. Our product offerings include canned, frozen and jarred produce, and snack chips that are sold under private label as well as national and regional brands that the Company owns or licenses, including Seneca®, Libby’s®, Green Giant®, Aunt Nellie’s®, Cherryman®, Green Valley® and READ®. Our products are sold nationwide by major grocery outlets, including supermarkets, mass merchandisers, limited assortment stores, club stores and dollar stores. We also sell products to foodservice distributors, restaurant chains, industrial markets, other food processors, export customers in approximately 55 countries and federal, state and local governments for school and other food programs. Additionally, the Company packs canned and frozen vegetables under contract packing agreements.

Business Trends

We purchase raw materials, including raw produce, steel, ingredients and packaging materials from growers, commodity processors, steel producers and packaging suppliers. Raw materials and other input costs, such as labor, fuel, utilities and transportation, are subject to fluctuations in price attributable to a number of factors. Fluctuations in commodity prices can lead to retail price volatility and can influence consumer and trade buying patterns. The cost of raw materials, fuel, labor, distribution and other costs related to our operations can increase from time to time significantly and unexpectedly, the impact of which could increase our cost of products sold and reduce our profitability.

We experienced material cost increases to various production inputs during the last several years due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, supply chain disruptions, steel supply and pricing, raw material shortages, labor shortages, and the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine. While we have no direct exposure to this foreign conflict, it had a negative impact on the global economy which increased certain of our input costs. While some of the factors mentioned above have started to ease and stabilize during the current nine-month interim period, our costs remain elevated as compared to historical levels.

We attempt to manage costs by locking in prices through short-term supply contracts, advance grower purchase agreements, and by implementing cost saving measures. We also attempt to offset rising input costs by raising sales prices to our customers. However, increases in the prices we charge our customers may lag behind rising input costs. Competitive pressures and pricing methodologies employed in the various sales channels in which we compete may also limit our ability to raise prices in response to rising costs. To the extent we are unable to avoid or offset any present or future cost increases, our operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Three Months Ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023

Net sales totaled $502.9 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024 as compared with $444.5 million for the three months ended December 30, 2023. The overall net sales increase of $58.4 million, or 13.1%, was driven by higher sales volumes contributing favorability of $70.1 million, offset by lower selling prices which had an unfavorable impact of $11.7 million as compared to the prior year three-month interim period.

Net sales of canned vegetables and frozen vegetables increased by a combined $53.0 million over the prior year quarter. The categories experienced favorable demand driving $66.3 million in higher sales volume, which was partially offset by $13.3 million contributed by lower pricing. Net sales in the fruit products category increased by $3.5 million driven by $2.4 million of increased sales volume and $1.1 million due to higher selling prices and product mix. The snack products category contributed a net sales increase of $1.2 million mainly due to increased sales volume. Lastly, net sales attributable to the other category contributed a nominal $0.7 million increase as compared to the prior year quarter for seed, cans and ends, and outside revenue from aircraft operations, which are ancillary to the Company’s main operations.

Table of Contents

Nine Months Ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023

Net sales totaled $1,233.0 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 as compared with $1,150.6 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023. The overall net sales increase of $82.4 million, or 7.2%, was mainly due to higher sales volumes contributing favorability of $87.3 million as compared to the prior year nine-month interim period. Partially offsetting that amount was net unfavorable sales of $4.9 million driven by a combination of reduced selling prices and the impact of product mix as compared to the prior year nine-month interim period.

Net sales of canned vegetables and frozen vegetables increased by a combined $78.3 million over the prior year nine-month interim period. Higher sales volume in these categories contributed $83.7 million of sales favorability, which was partially offset by $5.4 million driven by a combination of reduced selling prices and the impact of product mix. Fruit products increased over the prior year nine-month interim period by $5.1 million, comprised of $2.1 million of increased sales volume and $3.0 million of increased pricing. Net sales in the snack products category remained relatively consistent year-over-year with a slight increase of $0.8 million. The remaining net sales decrease of $1.8 million, driven by lower demand as compared to the prior year nine-month period, was contributed by non-food packaging sales related to the sale of seed, cans and ends, and outside revenue from aircraft operations, which are ancillary to the Company’s main operations.

Three Months Ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023

Gross Margin: Gross margin for the three months ended December 28, 2024 was 9.8% as compared to 12.2% for the three months ended December 30, 2023. The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended December 28, 2024 was mainly due to continued elevated costs, which outpaced the increase in net sales as compared to the three months ended December 30, 2023. Finished goods sold by the Company during the current three-month interim period consisted of products produced during either the preceding year or current year seasonal packs; both of which have a higher cost on a per unit basis as compared to the prior year three-month period. Refer to the business trends section above and the material cash requirements section below for additional discussion of the factors impacting the respective seasonal packs. The Company’s LIFO charge for the three months ended December 28, 2024 was $10.9 million as compared to a LIFO charge of $12.0 million for the three months ended December 30, 2023. The LIFO charge amounts have the impact of increasing cost of products sold.

Selling, General, and Administrative: Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended December 28, 2024 decreased $0.2 million from the three months ended December 30, 2023. Selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended December 28, 2024, was 4.5% as compared with 5.2% for the prior year quarter. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was mainly due to the increase in net sales and the fixed nature of certain expenses.

Restructuring: The Company incurred minimal restructuring charges during the three months ended December 28, 2024 and three months ended December 30, 2023, respectively. The amounts for both interim periods were primarily attributable to plants that were closed in previous periods.

Other Operating Expense, net: The Company had net other operating expense of $0.8 million during the three months ended December 28, 2024, primarily driven by $1.0 million for disposal of various spare equipment. During the three months ended December 30, 2023, the Company had net other operating expense of $0.4 million, which was driven primarily by $0.6 million of transition service fees incurred in connection with the asset acquisition that occurred during the quarter.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense:

Other Non-Operating Income: Other non-operating income totaled $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively, and is comprised of the non-service related pension amounts that are actuarially determined.

Interest Expense, net: Interest expense as a percentage of net sales was 1.6% for the three months ended December 28, 2024, as compared to 2.1% for the three months ended December 30, 2023. Interest expense decreased from $9.4 million in the prior year quarter to $7.8 million for the current quarter primarily driven by lower average borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility as compared to the prior year quarter.

Nine Months Ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023

Gross Margin: Gross margin for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 was 10.9% as compared to 14.6% for the nine months ended December 30, 2023. The decrease in gross margin for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 was primarily driven by continued elevated costs, which outpaced the increase in net sales as compared to the nine months ended December 30, 2023. Finished goods sold by the Company thus far in fiscal year 2025 consisted of products produced during either the preceding year or current year seasonal packs; both of which have a higher cost on a per unit basis as compared to the prior year nine-month interim period. Refer to the business trends section above and the material cash requirements section below for additional discussion of the factors impacting the respective seasonal packs. The Company’s LIFO charge for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 was $23.0 million as compared to a LIFO charge of $19.6 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023. The LIFO charge amounts have the impact of increasing cost of products sold.

Selling, General, and Administrative: Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 decreased $5.6 million from the nine months ended December 30, 2023. Selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended December 28, 2024, was 4.7% as compared with 5.5% for the prior year nine-month interim period. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was mainly due to the increase in net sales and the fixed nature of certain expenses.

Restructuring: The Company incurred minimal restructuring charges during the nine months ended December 28, 2024, mainly driven by equipment moves for the Northeast trucking fleet which ceased operations in the previous fiscal year. During the nine months ended December 30, 2023, the Company incurred minimal restructuring charges primarily due to equipment moves from plants that were closed in the previous fiscal year.

Other Operating Expense (Income), net: The Company had net other operating expense of $0.4 million during the nine months ended December 28, 2024, primarily driven by $1.0 million for disposal of various spare equipment which was offset by $0.2 million received for the sale of a small portion of land in the Midwest and $0.2 million received for miscellaneous equipment sales. During the nine months ended December 30, 2023, the Company had net other operating income of $1.2 million, which was driven primarily by $1.8 million from the sale of non-operational assets in the Pacific Northwest, offset by $0.6 million of transition service fees in connection with the asset acquisition that occurred during the nine-month period.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense:

Other Non-Operating Income: Other non-operating income totaled $4.3 million and $4.5 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023, respectively, and is comprised of the non-service related pension amounts that are actuarially determined.

Interest Expense, net: Interest expense as a percentage of net sales was 2.2% for the nine months ended December 28, 2024, as compared to 2.0% for the nine months ended December 30, 2023. Interest expense increased from $23.1 million in the prior year nine-month interim period to $27.2 million for the current nine-month interim period as a result of higher interest rates and increased average borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility as compared to the prior year nine-month interim period. Additionally, the nine months ended December 30, 2023 did not have Term Loan A-2 outstanding for the entire period which contributed to a lower interest expense amount for that prior year period.

Equivalent common shares are either common shares or, for convertible preferred shares, the number of common shares that the preferred shares are convertible into. See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for conversion details.

Material Cash Requirements: The Company’s primary liquidity requirements include debt service, capital expenditures and working capital needs. The Company may also seek strategic acquisitions to leverage existing capabilities and further build upon its existing business. Liquidity requirements are funded primarily through cash generated from operations and external sources of financing, including the revolving credit facility.

During the preceding fiscal years, working capital needs trended higher than previously experienced by the Company in part because of larger annual pack sizes needed to replenish the Company’s post-pandemic inventory levels to meet customer demand, and because of supply chain challenges and inflationary pressure in the steel industry which impacted can manufacturing operations. To successfully navigate the uncertainty driven by inflation and import tariffs, and a desire to diversify its steel supply, the Company employed a strategic approach during those fiscal years and increased steel coil purchases to better position itself for subsequent years. The higher cost of steel coil raw materials translated into an elevated container cost and ultimately resulted in an increased cost per unit for the associated finished good product. Working capital was likewise unfavorably impacted during the preceding fiscal years as the Company experienced material cost increases implemented by suppliers affecting various other production inputs aside from steel. These economic conditions contributed to higher cash outflows and an increased cost per unit for the associated finished good product.

From the standpoint of available inventory, the Company’s larger seasonal pack sizes in fiscal year 2024 driven by favorable growing conditions, coupled with lower fiscal year 2024 sales, resulted in higher inventory levels for finished goods as of the end of fiscal year 2024. These higher inventory levels provided the Company with additional availability of products leading into fiscal year 2025, resulting in a lower planned seasonal pack and the opportunity to normalize working capital trends, specifically surrounding inventory.

During the current fiscal year, the Company has experienced an easing of working capital needs driven by the factors previously mentioned. However, adverse weather conditions during the planting and harvesting seasons have had a notable impact, especially in the upper Midwest where the Company has its primary growing region. Challenging growing conditions and reduced crop yields resulted in a seasonal pack that is lower than originally planned. This in turn has resulted in a higher-cost seasonal pack on a per unit basis as of the nine months ended December 28, 2024; however, the overall costs from a cash requirements perspective are favorable as compared to the preceding fiscal years.

The Company believes that its operations along with existing liquidity sources will satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. This includes the Company’s expectation with respect to Term Loan A-1 that matures on June 1, 2025, that it will maintain or have access to sufficient liquidity to retire or refinance long-term debt at maturity or otherwise, using operating cash flows, access to the capital markets, and access to its revolving credit facility. The Company has borrowed funds and continues to believe that it has the ability to do so at reasonable interest rates, however additional borrowings would result in increased interest expense. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Summary of Cash Flows: The following table presents a summary of the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended
	December 28, 2024			December 30, 2023
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	243,600		$	(128,126	)
Cash used in investing activities		(28,878	)		(23,856	)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(213,664	)		154,145

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period		11,853			12,256
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period	$	12,911		$	14,419

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities: For the nine months ended December 28, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $243.6 million, which consisted of $142.8 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities, coupled with net earnings of $40.6 million and non-cash charges of $60.2 million. The non-cash charges were mainly comprised of $33.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $4.0 million of non-cash lease expense, and a $23.0 million LIFO charge. The change in operating assets and liabilities was favorably impacted by improved working capital needs during the nine-month period which covered the primary seasonal pack harvest months. The Company experienced a lower utilization of cash for inventories resulting from the higher inventory levels carried into the current fiscal year along with a reduced fiscal year 2025 seasonal pack due to adverse weather conditions. This is consistent with the factors discussed above within the material cash requirements section.

For the nine months ended December 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $128.1 million, which consisted of a use of cash of $249.4 million by operating assets and liabilities partially offset by net earnings of $65.6 million, adjusted by non-cash charges of $55.7 million. The non-cash charges were largely driven by $32.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $5.3 million of non-cash lease expense, and a $19.6 million LIFO charge. The change in operating assets and liabilities was due to inventories being a use of cash as the nine-month period covered the primary seasonal pack harvest months, in addition to material cost inflation affecting various production inputs. The increase in inventories was also impacted by finished goods acquired in the asset acquisition which occurred during the nine-month period.

The cash requirements of the business fluctuate significantly throughout the year to coincide with the seasonal growing cycles of vegetables. The majority of the inventories are produced during the packing months, from June through November, and are then sold over the following twelve months. Cash flow from operating activities is one of the Company’s main sources of liquidity, excluding usual seasonal working capital swings.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $28.9 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024, and consisted of cash used for capital expenditures of $26.7 million and $2.7 million paid as deposits to vendors for the installation of a new can manufacturing line. Offsetting those amounts, the Company received proceeds from the sale of assets totaling $0.5 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $23.8 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023, and consisted of cash used for capital expenditures of $31.8 million partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets totaling $8.0 million.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $213.7 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024, driven primarily by a net paydown on the Company’s revolving credit facility of $195.0 million. The Company also made payments totaling $14.9 million on its term loans and finance obligation during the nine-month period. Offsetting the outflows was a $12.4 million increase in note payable borrowings associated with the Company’s new can manufacturing line which was converted to a finance obligation during the nine-month period. Additionally, the Company used cash of $10.8 million to purchase treasury stock and made payments of $3.8 million on financing leases.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $154.1 million for the nine months ended December 30, 2023, driven primarily by a net increase in borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility of $77.5 million and receiving proceeds of $124.4 million from a new term loan during the nine-month period. The increases were partially offset by term loan payments of $14.3 million and $6.4 million of payments on financing leases. Additionally, the Company used cash of $27.1 million to purchase treasury stock.

Impact of Seasonality on Financial Position and Results of Operations:

The Company’s production cycle begins with planting in the spring followed by harvesting and packaging during the second and third fiscal quarters with sales spanning over the following twelve months. Minimal food packaging occurs in the Company's last fiscal quarter ending March 31, which is the optimal time for maintenance, repairs and equipment changes in its packaging plants. The supply of commodities, current pricing, and expected new crop quantity and quality affect the timing and amount of the Company’s sales and earnings. When the seasonal harvesting periods of the Company's major vegetables are newly completed, inventories for these packaged vegetables are at their highest levels. For peas, the peak inventory time is mid-summer and for corn and green beans, the Company's highest volume vegetables, the peak inventory is in mid-autumn. The seasonal nature of the Company’s production cycle results in inventory and accounts payable reaching their lowest point in mid-to-late first quarter prior to the new seasonal pack commencing. As the seasonal pack progresses, these components of working capital both increase until the pack is complete.

The Company’s fruit and vegetable sales exhibit seasonal increases in the third fiscal quarter due to increased retail demand during the holiday seasons. In addition, the Company sells canned and frozen vegetables to a co-pack customer on a bill and hold basis during the pack cycle, the majority of which typically occurs in the second and third quarters. The seasonal nature of the Company’s sales, particularly holiday driven retail sales, result in the accounts receivable balance reaching its highest point at the end of the second and third fiscal quarters, while typically being the lowest at the end of the first quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Adjusted net earnings, EBITDA, and FIFO EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are provided for informational purposes only. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with helpful information to evaluate financial performance, perform comparisons from period to period, and to compare results against the Company’s industry peers. A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of the Company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and related condensed consolidated statements of net earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows. The Company does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net earnings are calculated on a FIFO basis which excludes the impact from the application of LIFO. Set forth below is a reconciliation of reported net earnings before income taxes to adjusted net earnings (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 28,		December 30,		December 28,		December 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Earnings before income taxes, as reported	$	19,348	$	23,199	$	52,917	$	86,037
LIFO charge		10,919		12,027		22,978		19,643
Adjusted earnings before income taxes		30,267		35,226		75,895		105,680
Income taxes (1)		7,353		8,519		17,901		25,363
Adjusted net earnings	$	22,914	$	26,707	$	57,994	$	80,317

(1)

For the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, income taxes on adjusted earnings before taxes were calculated using the income tax provision amounts of $4.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively, and applying the statutory tax rates of 24.4% and 24.9%, respectively, for each of the respective periods to the pre-tax LIFO charge.

For the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, income taxes on adjusted earnings before taxes were calculated using the income tax provision amounts of $12.3 million and $20.5 million, respectively, and applying the statutory tax rates of 24.4% and 24.9%, respectively, for each of the respective periods to the pre-tax LIFO charge.

The Company believes EBITDA is often a useful measure of a Company’s operating performance because EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization, non-cash lease expense, and interest expense as well as the Company’s provision for income tax expense. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in the Company’s industry. FIFO EBITDA also excludes non-cash charges related to the LIFO inventory valuation method. The Company’s revolving credit facility and term loan agreements use FIFO EBITDA in the financial covenants thereunder.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of reported net earnings to EBITDA and FIFO EBITDA (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	December 28,			December 30,			December 28,			December 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Net earnings	$	14,659		$	17,675		$	40,623		$	65,565
Income taxes		4,689			5,524			12,294			20,472
Interest expense, net of interest income		7,841			9,388			27,199			23,146
Depreciation and amortization (1)		12,611			12,645			37,573			38,070
Interest amortization (2)		(177	)		(113	)		(408	)		(327	)
EBITDA		39,623			45,119			117,281			146,926
LIFO charge		10,919			12,027			22,978			19,643
FIFO EBITDA	$	50,542		$	57,146		$	140,259		$	166,569

	(1)	Includes non-cash lease expense consistent with financial covenant calculations.
	(2)	Reconciling item needed to exclude debt issuance cost amortization from the amount shown for interest expense.

Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they address future events, developments, and results and do not relate strictly to historical facts. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate, or imply future results, performance, or achievements, and may contain the words "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seeks," "should," "likely," "targets," "may," "can" and variations thereof and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. We believe important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:

	●	the effects of rising costs and availability of raw fruit and vegetables, steel, ingredients, packaging, other raw materials, distribution and labor;
	●	crude oil prices and their impact on distribution, packaging and energy costs;
	●	an overall labor shortage, ability to retain a sufficient seasonal workforce, lack of skilled labor, labor inflation or increased turnover impacting our ability to recruit and retain employees;

	●	the loss of significant customers or a substantial reduction in orders from these customers;
	●	effectiveness of our marketing and trade promotion programs;
	●	competition, changes in consumer preferences, demand for our products and local economic and market conditions;
	●	the impact of a pandemic on our business, suppliers, customers, consumers and employees;
	●	unanticipated expenses, including, without limitation, litigation or legal settlement expenses;
	●	product liability claims;
	●	the anticipated needs for, and the availability of, cash;
	●	the availability of financing;
	●	leverage and the ability to service and reduce debt;
	●	foreign currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations;
	●	the risks associated with the expansion of our business;
	●	the ability to successfully integrate acquisitions into our operations;
	●	our ability to protect information systems against, or effectively respond to, a cybersecurity incident or other disruption;
	●	other factors that affect the food industry generally, including:

	o	recalls if products become adulterated or misbranded, liability if product consumption causes injury, ingredient disclosure and labeling laws and regulations and the possibility that consumers could lose confidence in the safety and quality of certain food products;
	o	competitors’ pricing practices and promotional spending levels;
	o	fluctuations in the level of our customers’ inventories and credit and other business risks related to our customers operating in a challenging economic and competitive environment; and
	o	the risks associated with third-party suppliers, including the risk that any failure by one or more of our third-party suppliers to comply with food safety or other laws and regulations may disrupt our supply of raw materials or certain finished goods products or injure our reputation; and

●

changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, U.S., foreign and local governmental regulations, including health, environmental, and safety regulations.

Any of these factors, as well as such other factors as discussed in our other periodic filings with the SEC, could cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated results. The information provided in this Form 10-Q is based upon the facts and circumstances known as of the date of this report, and any forward-looking statements made by us in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after such date, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s exposure to market risk since March 31, 2024.
