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, 2025 that was filed with the SEC on June 12, 2025.

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, 2025.

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. Prior to fiscal year 2026, the plant restructuring line item was separately presented on the condensed consolidated statements of net earnings and is now included in the other operating (income) expense, net line item.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — During the three months ended June 28, 2025, the restricted cash balance held in trust as collateral for the Company’s workers’ compensation insurance policy was released and transferred to cash and cash equivalents. 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).

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 when it becomes effective for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 annual reporting and is in the process of analyzing the impact on its 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. There were no material events or transactions that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

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):

The Company has contract liabilities in the form of deferred revenue representing payments received from certain of its co-pack customers in advance of completion of the Company's respective performance obligations. The balance is comprised of prepaid case and labeling and storage services which have been collected from bill and hold sales, as well as amounts invoiced in accordance with the terms of a co-pack agreement.

Diluted earnings per common share	$	2.14	$	1.80

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 June 28, 2025, June 29, 2024, and March 31, 2025, first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) based inventory costs exceeded LIFO based inventory costs, resulting in a LIFO reserve of $347.5 million, $321.9 million, and $359.3 million, respectively. In order to state inventories at LIFO, the Company recorded a decrease to cost of products sold of $11.8 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, 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.

During fiscal year 2025, 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. In connection with this transaction, the note payable was cancelled. The finance obligation has a maturity date of September 14, 2031 and a monthly payment of $0.3 million which is comprised of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 5.56%. As of June 28, 2025, the principal balance of the finance obligation was $19.4 million, of which $2.7 million is included within the current portion of long-term debt, finance and lease obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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 $450.0 million that is seasonally adjusted to a maximum of $400.0 million during the months of April through July (the “Revolver”).

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, the Company incurred $1.6 million of debt issuance costs which will be deferred over the term of the Revolver and amortized on a straight-line basis.

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 twelve months. Payment terms for vegetable produce are generally three months but may vary and range from approximately one to seven months. Therefore, the Company’s need to draw on the Revolver may fluctuate significantly throughout the year.

The interest rate benchmark for borrowings under the Revolver is based upon 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 June 28, 2025, the unused portion of the Revolver was $389.1 million. The Revolver has a five-year term and matures on December 24, 2029. Accordingly, the Revolver balance is included in long-term debt on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Revolver contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict, with specific exceptions, 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.

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

Term Loan A-1: The Term Loan Agreement provides for the continuation of a $100.00 million unsecured term loan with a maturity date of June 1, 2025 and fixed interest rate of 3.3012%. Quarterly principal payments are $1.0 million on Term Loan A-1. Upon maturity, the Company paid the Term Loan A-1 in full using available cash on hand.

Term Loan A-2: The Term Loan 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. 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, if at all.

On May 23, 2023, the Term Loan 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 Loan Term 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. 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 continued all aspects of Term Loan A-1, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement, through the maturity date of such loan. As of June 28, 2025, the interest rate on Amended Term Loan A-2 was 6.57%.

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 June 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants for its revolving credit facility and term loan agreement.

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 June 28, 2025, the Company had $0.6 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 finance 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 finance 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.

8.	Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.5% and 23.3% for the three months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate increased in the current quarter partially driven by the impact of lower federal credits and higher earnings before income taxes as compared to the prior year quarter which increased the effective rate by 0.4%. The prior year quarter also benefited from interest received on a federal income tax refund, which resulted in a 0.7% increase in the current quarter effective rate on a comparative basis. The effective tax rate was further increased in the current quarter by additional state tax filings and partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance related to the usage of state tax credits.

On July 4, 2025, the President of the United States signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, refundable income taxes, accounts payable, note payable, income taxes 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.

Utilizing the fair value hierarchy, the Company determines fair value of money market funds using Level 1 inputs of quoted prices in active markets. Fair value of commercial paper is determined by using Level 2 inputs of quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

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. Since quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets are not available (Level 1), the Company makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, which is Level 2.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt and finance obligation are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	As of:
	June 28,		June 29,		March 31,
	2025		2024		2025
Carrying value	$	293,908	$	572,065	$	369,878
Fair value	$	293,419	$	567,442	$	364,276

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.

Earnings (loss) before income taxes is utilized by the CODM to assess the profitability of the business. The CODM uses this information in making key operational decisions, including but not limited to, approval of annual budgets, expanding into new markets or product categories, pursuing business acquisitions or divestures, and initiating major capital expenditures. Analysis of current and historical trends of segment performance, including consideration of known favorable or unfavorable factors that contributed to the financial results for a given period, may also be performed as part of the process. The Company’s business strategies are prioritized and assessed to determine how resources should be allocated to achieve the initiatives and the associated impact on segment performance.

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.

Legal Proceedings, Other Contingencies, and Commitments

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is made a party to certain legal proceedings seeking monetary damages, including proceedings involving product liability claims, workers’ compensation along with other employee claims, tort and other general liability claims, for which it carries insurance, as well as patent infringement and related litigation. The Company is in a highly regulated industry and is also periodically involved in government actions for regulatory violations and other matters surrounding the manufacturing of its products, including, but not limited to, environmental, employee, and product safety issues. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company does not believe that an adverse decision in any of these legal proceedings would have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has posted a surety bond and a surety-backed letter of credit which serve as collateral for its workers’ compensation policy. The primary purpose of these instruments is to indemnify the beneficiary should the Company be unable to fulfill its obligations for claims asserted under the workers’ compensation policy. Both the surety bond and the surety-backed letter of credit are automatically renewed annually, unless the issuer gives cancellation notice in advance. As of June 28, 2025, the available undrawn amount of the surety bond and the surety-backed letter of credit was $4.0 million and $13.8 million, respectively. The Company is not aware of any outstanding claims made against either of these instruments.

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 conflict 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, 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.

Results of Operations

Net Sales:

The following table presents net sales by product category (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended

Total	$	297,458	$	304,727

Three Months Ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024

Net sales totaled $297.5 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025 as compared with $304.7 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024. The overall net sales decrease of $7.2 million, or 2.4%, was driven by lower sales volumes contributing a decrease of $13.6 million, partially offset by higher selling prices and the impact of product mix which contributed a favorable $6.4 million as compared to the prior year quarter.

Net sales of canned vegetables and frozen vegetables decreased by a combined $8.8 million over the prior year quarter. The categories experienced a decrease in sales volume equating to $14.2 million, which was partially offset by $5.4 million from higher pricing. Net sales in the fruit products category decreased $0.8 million largely driven by lower selling prices and product mix. The snack products category contributed a net sales increase of $0.7 million mainly due to higher sales volume. Lastly, net sales attributable to the other category increased $1.6 million 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.

Operating Income:

The following table presents components of operating and non-operating income as a percentage of net sales (percentages shown as absolute values):

	Three Months Ended
	June 28,			June 29,
	2025			2024
Gross margin		14.1	%		14.0	%
Selling, general, and administrative expense		6.3	%		5.7	%
Other operating income, net		0.0	%		0.1	%
Operating income		7.8	%		8.3	%
Other non-operating income		0.6	%		0.5	%
Interest expense, net		1.8	%		3.4	%
Income taxes		1.6	%		1.3	%

Three Months Ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024

Gross Margin: Gross margin for the three months ended June 28, 2025 was 14.1% as compared to 14.0% for the three months ended June 29, 2024. Gross margin was relatively flat when comparing the year-over-year quarterly periods because although the Company continues to experience elevated costs in fiscal year 2026, the current quarter benefited from a larger LIFO credit thereby reducing the cost of products sold. The Company’s LIFO credit for the three months ended June 28, 2025 was $11.8 million as compared to a LIFO credit of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024. Finished goods sold by the Company during the current quarter consisted of products produced during the preceding year seasonal pack, which have a higher cost on a per unit basis as compared to finished goods sold during the prior year quarter. Refer to the business trends section above and the material cash requirements section below for additional discussion of the factors impacting the respective seasonal pack.

Selling, General, and Administrative: Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 28, 2025 increased $1.3 million from the three months ended June 29, 2024. Selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 28, 2025, was 6.3% as compared with 5.7% for the prior year quarter. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales was mainly driven by the decrease in net sales and the fixed nature of certain expenses.

Other Operating Income, net: The Company had net other operating income of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025, which was driven primarily by the sale of various spare equipment. During the three months ended June 29, 2024, the Company had net other operating income of $0.2 million, which was driven primarily by the sale of a small portion of land in the Midwest.

Non-Operating (Income) Expense:

Other Non-Operating Income: Other non-operating income totaled $1.9 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, 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 1.8% for the three months ended June 28, 2025, as compared to 3.4% for the three months ended June 29, 2024. Interest expense decreased from $10.3 million in the prior year quarter to $5.4 million in the current quarter primarily driven by lower average borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility and a lower weighted average interest rate as compared to the prior year quarter.

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 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2025 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 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 fiscal year 2025, the Company experienced an easing of working capital needs driven by the factors previously mentioned. However, adverse weather conditions during the planting and harvesting seasons 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 lower than originally planned. This in turn resulted in a higher-cost seasonal pack on a per unit basis for fiscal year 2025; however, the overall costs from a cash requirements perspective are favorable as compared to the preceding fiscal years.

With fiscal year 2026 underway and the early stages of the Company’s seasonal pack commencing during the current quarter, the principal focus will be on working capital needs to fund the pack as it progresses and inventory levels are replenished from the prior year lower pack size.

The Company believes that its operations along with existing liquidity sources will satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. 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):

	Three Months Ended
	June 28, 2025			June 29, 2024
Cash provided by operating activities	$	53,696		$	50,332
Cash used in investing activities		(11,173	)		(13,377	)

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period		50,390			11,853
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period	$	12,072		$	12,975

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: For the three months ended June 28, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $53.7 million, which consisted of $38.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities, coupled with net earnings of $14.9 million and partially offset by non-cash charges of $0.1 million. The non-cash charges were mainly comprised of $11.1 million of depreciation and amortization and $0.9 million of non-cash lease expense, largely offset by a $11.8 million LIFO credit. The change in operating assets and liabilities was mainly impacted by inventories being a use of cash as the early stages of the Company’s seasonal pack commenced during the quarter.

For the three months ended June 29, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $50.3 million, which consisted of $28.3 million for operating assets and liabilities, coupled with net earnings of $12.7 million and non-cash charges of $9.3 million. The non-cash charges were largely driven by $10.8 million of depreciation and amortization and $1.6 million of non-cash lease expense, partially offset by a $2.9 million LIFO credit. The change in operating assets and liabilities was due to inventories contributing favorably as the strategic approach discussed above within the material cash requirements section resulted in lower working capital needs, especially for steel, during the prior year three-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 $11.2 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025, and consisted of cash used for capital expenditures of $11.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets totaling $0.1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $13.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024, and consisted of cash used for capital expenditures of $12.1 million and $1.7 million paid as deposits to vendors for a new can manufacturing line. Partially offsetting those amounts, the Company received proceeds from the sale of assets totaling $0.4 million.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $80.8 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025, driven primarily by payments of $85.4 million on its term loans and finance obligation. This included full payment of $81.0 million for the Term Loan A-1 upon maturity during the current quarter. The Company also used cash of $3.8 million to purchase treasury stock and made payments of $1.0 million on finance leases. Partially offsetting the cash outflows, the Company had net borrowings of $9.4 million on its revolving credit facility.

Net cash used in financing activities was $35.8 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024, driven primarily by a net paydown on the Company’s revolving credit facility of $28.0 million and term loan payments of $4.8 million during the quarter. Additionally, the Company used cash of $6.6 million to purchase treasury stock and made payments of $1.4 million on finance leases. Partially offsetting the payments was a $5.0 million increase in the note payable borrowings associated with the Company’s new can manufacturing line.

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 sweet 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 typically 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 season. In addition, the Company sells canned and frozen vegetables to a co-pack customer on a bill and hold basis during the pack cycle, which typically occurs in the second and third quarters. Given the seasonal nature of the Company’s sales, the accounts receivable balance typically reaches its highest point at the end of the second fiscal 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
	June 28,			June 29,
	2025			2024
Earnings before income taxes, as reported	$	19,711		$	16,501
LIFO credit		(11,798	)		(2,918	)
Adjusted earnings before income taxes		7,913			13,583
Income taxes (1)		1,900			3,125
Adjusted net earnings	$	6,013		$	10,458

(1)

For the three months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, income taxes on adjusted earnings before taxes were calculated using the income tax provision amounts of $4.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and applying the statutory tax rates of 24.8% and 24.5%, respectively, for each of the respective periods to the pre-tax LIFO credit.

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.
