Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company," "we," "us," "our") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Therefore, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 1, 2019. These statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and, in the opinion of management, consist of adjustments of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire fiscal year.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year-end is on the Saturday nearest May 31. Each of the three-month periods and year-to-date periods ended on November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018 included 13 and 26 weeks, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement and classifies it as an operating lease or finance lease. We recognize the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term as a right-of-use (ROU) asset on our balance sheet. A lease liability is recorded to represent our obligation to make lease payments over the term of the lease. These assets and liabilities are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in Finance lease right-of-use asset, Operating lease right-of-use asset, Current portion of finance lease obligation, Current portion of operating lease obligation, Long-term finance lease obligation, and Long-term operating lease obligation.
The Company records ROU assets and lease obligations based on the discounted future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease. When the rate implicit in the lease is not easily determinable, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate the present value of the future lease payments. The Company elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease obligations for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Nature of Leases
The company leases certain office spaces, trucks, processing machines, and equipment to support our operations under cancelable and non-cancelable contracts.
Corporate and Field Offices
We lease office space for administrative employees at some of our farms. These contracts are typically structured with initial non-cancelable terms of three to ten years. To the extent our corporate and field office contracts include
6

Index 
renewal options, we evaluate whether we are reasonably certain to exercise those options on a contract by contract basis based on expected future office space needs.
Trucks
We assumed several non-cancelable operating leases for trucks from a prior acquisition. The initial terms on these leases ranged from five to seven years. We do not intend to exercise renewal options beyond the initial term.
Processing machines and other equipment
We lease a processing machine through a finance lease arrangement assumed in an acquisition. The lease contains a purchase option at the end of the term that we intend to exercise. The company leases various pieces of equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, and other items in support of operations. These leases are cancelable and non-cancelable with terms ranging from one month to five years.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The purpose of the standard is to improve transparency and comparability related to the accounting and reporting of leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a ROU model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.
The effective date for the new standard, for the Company, was June 2, 2019 and the Company adopted the new standard on that date. The Company elected a modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either its effective date or the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. We used June 2, 2019 as the date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. Because the Company chose the first option, the Company has not recast its comparative period financial statements.  In connection with adopting the new standard, the Company reclassified its presentation of finance lease obligations and property in the financial statements for all periods presented.
The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected practical expedients which permit us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.
The new standard provides practical expedients for an entity’s initial and ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. For the leases that qualify, we do not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.
Implementation of the new standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements. See Note 6 for additional information.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications were made to the fiscal 2019 financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2020 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on income

Note 2 - Acquisition

Effective on October 20, 2019, the Company acquired certain assets of Mahard Egg Farm (Mahard), relating to its commercial shell egg production, processing, distribution and sales for $45.5 million. Upon satisfaction of certain post-closing covenants, an additional $1 million dollars will be paid to the seller. The acquired assets include facilities with current capacity for approximately 3.9 million laying hens and permitted capacity for up to 8.0 million laying hens, a feed mill, pullet raising facilities and related production facilities located in Chillicothe, Texas, and Nebo, Oklahoma, and a distribution warehouse located in Gordonville, Texas. Mahard owned equity interests in the Company's majority owned subsidiary, Texas Egg Products, LLC (TEP). As a result of the acquisition, the Company now owns 93.2% of TEP. The acquired operations of Mahard are included in the accompanying financial statements as of October 20, 2019. Acquisition related costs incurred during the period were immaterial to the financial statements.

Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to categorize both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy.  The fair value of an asset is the price at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated, knowledgeable, and willing parties able to engage in the transaction. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor in a transaction between such parties, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

The disclosures of fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at cost are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Long-term debt: The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt is at its stated value.  We have not elected to carry our long-term debt at fair value.  Fair values for debt are based on quoted market prices or published forward interest rate curves, which are level 2 inputs. The fair value and carrying value of the Company’s borrowings under its long-term debt were as follows (in thousands):

Note 7 - Accrued Dividends Payable and Dividends per Common Share

We accrue dividends at the end of each quarter according to the Company’s dividend policy adopted by its Board of Directors. The Company pays a dividend to shareholders of its Common Stock and Class A Common Stock on a quarterly basis for each quarter for which the Company reports net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. computed in accordance with GAAP in an amount equal to one-third (1/3) of such quarterly income. Dividends are paid to shareholders of record as of the 60th day following the last day of such quarter, except for the fourth fiscal quarter.  For the fourth quarter, the Company pays dividends to shareholders of record on the 65th day after the quarter end. Dividends are payable on the 15th day following the record date. Following a quarter for which the Company does not report net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., the Company will not pay a dividend for a subsequent profitable quarter until the Company is profitable on a cumulative basis computed from the date of the last quarter for which a dividend was paid. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the amount of cumulative losses to be recovered before payment of a dividend was $75.6 million.

On our condensed consolidated statement of operations, we determine dividends per common share in accordance with the computation in the following table (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 9 - Revenue Recognition

Satisfaction of Performance Obligation
The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts with customers based on the customer placing an order for products. Pricing for the most part is determined when the Company and the customer agree upon the specific order, which establishes the contract for that order.
15

Index 
Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the goods.  Our shell eggs are sold at prices related to Urner Barry Spot Egg Market Quotations, negotiated prices or formulas related to our costs of production. The Company’s sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation. We recognize revenue upon satisfaction of the performance obligation with the customer which typically occurs within days of the Company and the customer agreeing upon the order.
Returns and Refunds
Some of our contracts include a guaranteed sale clause, pursuant to which we credit the customer’s account for product that the customer is unable to sell before expiration.  The Company records an estimate of returns and refunds by using historical return data and comparing to current period sales and accounts receivable.  The allowance is recorded as a reduction in sales with a corresponding reduction in trade accounts receivable.

Contract Costs
The Company can incur costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The amortization period of these costs is less than one year; therefore, they are expensed as incurred.
Contract Balances
The Company receives payment from customers based on specified terms that are generally less than 30 days from delivery. There are rarely contract assets or liabilities related to performance under the contract.

Note 10 - Stock Based Compensation

Total stock based compensation expense was for $1.8 million both of the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018.

Unrecognized compensation expense as a result of non-vested shares of the 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan at November 30, 2019 of $4.2 million will be recorded over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.  Refer to Note 10 of our June 1, 2019 audited financial statements for further information on our stock compensation plans.

Note 11 - Net Income (Loss) per Common Share  

Basic net loss per share was calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effects of options and restricted stock.  Due to the net loss in the thirteen weeks ended and twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019, restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The computations of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to the Company are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 12 - Commitment and Contingencies

Financial Instruments

The Company maintained standby letters of credit (LOC) totaling $4.2 million at November 30, 2019 that were issued under our Revolving Credit Facility.  The outstanding LOCs are for the benefit of certain insurance companies, and are not recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

Egg Antitrust Litigation

On September 25, 2008, the Company was named as one of several defendants in numerous antitrust cases involving the United States shell egg industry. The cases were consolidated into In re: Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, No. 2:08-md-02002-GP, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
17

Index 
Pennsylvania (the “District Court”), in three groups of cases - the “Direct Purchaser Putative Class Action”, the “Indirect Purchaser Putative Class Action” and the “Non-Class Cases.” As previously reported, the Company settled all of the Direct Purchaser Putative Class Action cases and the Indirect Purchaser Putative Class Action cases, and all Non-Class cases except for the claims of certain plaintiffs who sought substantial damages allegedly arising from the purchase of egg products (as opposed to shell eggs). In addition, as previously reported, the Company settled all claims brought by one of these plaintiffs, Conopco, Inc., and the Court entered a final judgment dismissing Conopco’s claims against the Company on November 21, 2018. On October 24, 2019, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with The Kellogg Company dismissing all claims against the Company for an amount that does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. On November 11, 2019, a stipulation for dismissal was filed with the court, but the court has not yet entered a judgment on the filing. The remaining plaintiffs are Kraft Food Global, Inc., General Mills, Inc., and Nestle USA, Inc. (“Egg Products Plaintiffs”). The Egg Products Plaintiffs seek treble damages and injunctive relief under the Sherman Act and are attacking certain features of the UEP animal-welfare guidelines and program used by the Company and many other egg producers. On July 2, 2019 the Egg Products Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand, and on September 13, 2019 the case was remanded to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Kraft Foods Global, Inc. et al v. United Egg Producers, Inc. et al, No. 1:11-cv-08808 (DP), where it was initially filed, for trial. The Illinois court has not issued a case management order or any other directive.

The Company intends to continue to defend the remaining case as vigorously as possible based on defenses which the Company believes are meritorious and provable. While management believes that the likelihood of a material adverse outcome in the overall egg antitrust litigation has been significantly reduced as a result of the settlements and rulings described above, there is still a reasonable possibility of a material adverse outcome in the remaining egg antitrust litigation. At the present time, however, it is not possible to estimate the amount of monetary exposure, if any, to the Company because of this remaining case. Adjustments, if any, which might result from the resolution of these remaining legal matters, have not been reflected in the financial statements.

Other Matters

In addition to the above, the Company is involved in various other claims and litigation incidental to its business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined with certainty, management, upon the advice of counsel, is of the opinion that the final outcome should not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

This report contains numerous forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) relating to our shell egg business, including estimated future production data, expected construction schedules, projected construction costs, potential future supply of and demand for our products, potential future corn and soybean price trends, potential future impact on our business of new legislation, rules or policies, potential outcomes of legal proceedings, and other projected operating data, including anticipated results of operations and financial condition.  Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “should,” “plans,” “projected,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” or similar words.  Actual outcomes or results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current intent, belief, expectations, estimates, and projections regarding the Company and its industry.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that are difficult to predict and may be beyond our control.  The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include, among others, (i) the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2019, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, (ii) the risks and hazards inherent in the shell egg business (including disease, pests, weather conditions, and potential for product recall), (iii) changes in the demand for and market prices of shell eggs and feed costs, (iv) our ability to predict and meet demand for cage-free and other specialty eggs, (v) risks, changes, or obligations that could result from our future acquisition of new flocks or businesses and risks or changes that may cause conditions to completing a pending acquisition not to be met, and (vi) adverse results in pending litigation matters.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because, while we believe the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate.  Further, forward-looking statements included herein are only made as of the respective dates thereof, or if no date is stated, as of the date hereof.  Except as otherwise required by law, we disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.

OVERVIEW

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is primarily engaged in the production, grading, packaging, marketing, and distribution of fresh shell eggs.  Our fiscal year end is the Saturday closest to May 31.
 
Our operations are fully integrated.  At our facilities we hatch chicks, grow and maintain flocks of pullets (young female chickens, under 18 weeks of age), layers (mature female chickens) and breeders (male and female birds used to produce fertile eggs to hatch for egg production flocks), manufacture feed, and produce, process, and distribute shell eggs. We are the largest producer and marketer of shell eggs in the United States (“U.S.”).  We market the majority of our shell eggs in the southwestern, southeastern, mid-western, and mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S.  We market shell eggs through an extensive distribution network to a diverse group of customers, including national and regional grocery store chains, club stores, foodservice distributors, and egg product consumers.    

The Company has one operating segment, which is the production, grading, packaging, marketing and distribution of shell eggs.  The majority of our customers rely on us to provide most of their shell egg needs, including specialty and non-specialty eggs. Specialty eggs represent a broad range of products.  We classify nutritionally enhanced, cage free, organic and brown eggs as specialty products for accounting and reporting purposes. We classify all other shell eggs as non-specialty products.  While we report separate sales information for these types of eggs, there are a number of cost factors which are not specifically available for non-specialty or specialty eggs due to the nature of egg production. We manage our operations and allocate resources to these types of eggs on a consolidated basis based on the demands of our customers.
 
19

Index 
Our operating results are directly tied to egg prices, which are highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and are outside of our control. For example, the Urner-Barry Southeastern Regional Large Egg Market Price per dozen eggs (“UB southeastern large index”) for our fiscal years 2016-2019 ranged from a low of $0.58 in fiscal year 2016 to a high of $3.00 in fiscal year 2018.  The shell egg industry has traditionally been subject to periods of high profitability followed by periods of significant loss. In the past, during periods of high profitability, shell egg producers tended to increase the number of layers in production with a resulting increase in the supply of shell eggs, which generally caused a drop in shell egg prices until supply and demand returned to balance.  As a result, our financial results from year to year may vary significantly.   Shorter term, retail sales of shell eggs historically have been greatest during the fall and winter months and lowest during the summer months.  Prices for shell eggs fluctuate in response to seasonal factors and a natural increase in shell egg production in the spring and early summer.  Historically, shell egg prices have increased with the start of the school year and are highest prior to holiday periods, particularly Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.  Consequently, we generally experience lower sales and net income in our first and fourth fiscal quarters. Because of the seasonal and quarterly fluctuations, comparisons of our sales and operating results between different quarters within a single fiscal year are not necessarily meaningful comparisons.  

For the second quarter, the average UB southeastern large index price was down 12.7% compared with the prior-year period. At the same time our net average selling price for all shell eggs for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 was down 11.5% to $1.160 compared with $1.311 for the corresponding period of fiscal 2019. According to market research firm IRI as of December 15, 2019, non-specialty egg dozens are up 2.9% while specialty egg dozens are down 2.5% through the calendar year. An oversupply of eggs has negatively affected the price of non-specialty eggs and demand for specialty eggs was negatively impacted by the low non-specialty egg prices. Hen numbers as reported by the USDA Chickens and Eggs report as of December 23, 2019 are 340.5 million, which is 4.6 more million hens than a year ago, and continues to contribute to an oversupply of eggs. These hen numbers continue to trend upwards, which could continue to negatively affect average market prices for future periods.

We are one of the largest producers and marketers of value-added specialty shell eggs in the U.S. Specialty shell eggs have been a significant and growing portion of the market. In recent years, a significant number of large restaurant chains, food service companies and grocery chains, including our largest customers, announced goals to transition to a cage-free egg supply chain by specified future dates. We are working with our customers to achieve smooth progress in meeting their goals.

Additionally, several states have now passed or proposed minimum space and/or cage-free requirements. Specifically, California passed Proposition 12 in November 2018, which provides for minimum space requirements per hen beginning in 2020 and mandates all eggs or egg products sold in California must be cage-free by 2022. Subsequently, Washington and Oregon have passed laws requiring cage-free hen housing by 2024, and Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Michigan have similar laws defining space requirements or other restrictions on cages. While our direct sales into these states have not been material, these laws will affect sourcing, production and pricing of eggs (conventional as well as specialty) not only within these states, but also in other areas of the country.

Our growth strategy is focused on remaining a low-cost provider of shell eggs located near our customers. In light of the increased demand for cage-free eggs, we intend to continue to closely evaluate the need to expand through selective acquisitions that will expand our shell egg production capabilities in key locations and markets, as well as focused expansion and conversion of our existing farms, based on a timeline to meet our customers’ needs.

On March 29, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a major expansion of the cage-free capacity at the Company’s Delta, Utah facility. This expansion includes new facilities for 2.0 million cage-free hens, pullets and a processing plant, as well as renovation of existing capacity for cage-free hens. Final completion of these additions and renovations is expected by early 2022 and will add approximately 3.4 million cage-free hens.

We continue to invest in cage-free production with our approved expansion projects across our portfolio. See the table under “Capital Resources and Liquidity” later in this section for further information on projects in-progress.

Index 
For the thirteen weeks ended and November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, we produced approximately 89% and 85% of the total number of shell eggs we sold, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, approximately 9% of such production was provided by contract producers who utilize their facilities in the production of shell eggs by layers owned by us. We own the shell eggs produced under these arrangements.

Our cost of production is materially affected by feed costs.  Feed costs averaged 56.1% and 57.3% of our total farm egg production cost for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, respectively. Changes in market prices for corn and soybean meal, the primary ingredients in the feed we use, result in changes in our cost of goods sold.   The cost of feed ingredients, which are commodities, are subject to factors over which we have little or no control such as volatile price changes caused by weather, size of harvest, transportation, storage costs, demand, and the agricultural and energy policies of the U.S. and foreign governments. Based on the USDA’s current yield and harvest estimates for corn and soybean crops, we expect to have an adequate supply of both grains in fiscal 2020. However, ongoing uncertainties and geopolitical issues surrounding trade agreements and international tariffs could create more price volatility in the coming year.

NET SALES

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 were $311.5 million, a decrease of $44.5 million, or 12.5%, compared to net sales of $356.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to an 11.5% decrease in egg selling prices.

Net shell egg sales of $303.7 million and $345.0 million made up approximately 97.5% and 96.9% of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, respectively.  Dozens sold for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 were 261.0 million, a 0.5% decrease from 262.3 million dozen for the same period of fiscal 2019. The total volume decrease for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 accounted for a $1.4 million decrease in net sales. 
21

Index 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we lost a portion of our sales of non-specialty eggs to a major customer in the Southeast region, representing 4.6 percent of total shell egg dozens and 6.1 percent of non-specialty egg dozens for fiscal 2019. This did not materially affect sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. However, we expect our new capacity additions and our previously disclosed plans to decommission some older, less efficient facilities will help optimize our operations, improve our sales mix, and better align our production and sales within the region.

We expect our recent acquisition of Mahard effective October 20, 2019 will have a positive impact on our non-specialty shell egg volumes and continue growth of our customer base. Furthermore, the acquisition has opened up opportunities for streamlining aspects of our operations which will reduce costs and create efficiencies as we integrate Mahard into our operations.

The net average selling price per dozen of shell eggs was $1.160 for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019, compared to $1.311 for the thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2018. The 11.5% decrease in average selling price accounted for a $39.6 million decrease in net sales.     

Egg products accounted for 2.5% and 3.1% of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, respectively. These revenues were $7.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019, compared to $11.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 1, 2018, primarily due to lower prices.

Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 were $552.7 million, a decrease of $143.9 million, or 20.7%, compared to net sales of $696.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended December 1, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a 20.6% decrease in egg selling prices.

Net shell egg sales of $537.7 million and $673.5 million made up approximately 97.3% and 96.7% of net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, respectively.  Dozens sold for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 were 515.5 million, a 0.6% increase from 512.3 million dozen for the same period of fiscal 2019. The volume increase accounted for a $3.2 million increase in net sales. 

The net average selling price per dozen of shell eggs was $1.039 for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019, compared to $1.309 for the twenty-six weeks ended December 1, 2018. The 20.6% decrease in average selling price accounted for a $138.3 million decrease in net sales.     

Egg products accounted for 2.7% and 3.3% of net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, respectively. These revenues were $15.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019, compared to $23.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended December 1, 2018, primarily due to lower prices.

Non-specialty shell eggs include all shell egg sales not specifically identified as specialty or co-pack specialty shell egg sales.   This market is characterized generally by an inelasticity of demand. Small increases or decreases in production or demand can have a large positive or adverse effect on selling prices.  Comparing thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, non-specialty egg dozens sold increased 1.2% and the average selling price decreased 14.6% to $0.937 from $1.097. Comparing the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, non-specialty shell egg dozens sold increased 2.6% and the the average selling price decreased 29.2% to $0.782 from $1.104.

Specialty shell eggs, which include nutritionally enhanced, cage-free, organic, and brown eggs continue to make up a large portion of our total shell egg revenue and dozens sold.  Specialty egg retail prices are less cyclical than non-specialty shell egg prices and are generally higher due to consumer willingness to pay for the perceived benefits from these products.  For the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018, specialty shell egg dozens sold decreased 5.7%, and the average selling price decreased 4.1% to $1.878 from $1.958. Specialty egg volumes were affected by the significant price differential between non-specialty and specialty eggs. For the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019, specialty shell egg dozens sold decreased 5.4% and the average selling price decreased 2.8% to $1.871 from $1.924 compared to the same period of fiscal 2019.

Co-pack specialty shell eggs are sold primarily through co-pack arrangements, a common practice in the industry whereby production and processing of certain products is outsourced to another producer.  Co-pack specialty shell eggs sold during the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018 were 3.2 million and 3.4

million dozen, respectively, which represented 1.2% and 1.3% of total dozens sold for those periods. Co-pack specialty shell eggs sold during the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 and December 1, 2018 were 6.3 million and 6.6 million dozen, respectively, which represented 1.3% and 1.3% of total dozens sold for those periods.

The shell egg sales classified as “Other” represent sales of hard cooked eggs, hatching eggs, and other miscellaneous products, which are included with our shell egg operations. 

Egg products are shell eggs that are broken and sold in liquid, frozen, or dried form.  Our egg products are sold through our wholly-owned subsidiary American Egg Products, LLC (“AEP”) and our majority owned subsidiary Texas Egg Products, LLC (“TEP”).

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales consists of costs directly related to production, processing and packing of shell eggs, purchases of shell eggs from outside producers, processing and packing of liquid and frozen egg products, and other non-egg costs.  Farm production costs are those costs incurred at the egg production facility, including feed, facility, hen amortization, and other related farm production costs.

The following table presents the key variables affecting cost of sales (in thousands, except cost per dozen data).

Cost of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $282.1 million, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 1.2%, from $285.5 million for the same period of fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in the volume of outside egg purchases as well as a slight decrease in the cost of these purchases. Farm production costs for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019 was $169.7 million, compared to $160.2 million for the comparable period of fiscal 2019, an increase of $9.5 million, which is primarily due to an increase in production volume and in production costs other than feed costs. Dozens produced increased by 3.8% compared to the same period of fiscal 2019. Feed cost per dozen for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019, was $0.416, compared to $0.415 per dozen for the comparable period of fiscal 2019, an increase of 0.2%. Other farm production cost per dozen produced increased 5.2% to $0.325 for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2019, compared to $0.309 for the same period of last year. The majority of the increase was accelerated amortization expense associated with selling flocks early due to market conditions, and higher labor costs.

Index 
Cost of sales for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 was $544.4 million, a decrease of $24.5 million, or 4.3%, from $569.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in both volume and cost of outside egg purchases. Farm production costs for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 was $327.3 million, compared to $311.1 million for the comparable period of fiscal 2019, an increase of $16.3 million, which is primarily due to increased production volume and in production costs other than feed costs. Dozens produced increased by 3.1% compared to the same period of fiscal 2019. Feed cost per dozen for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019, was $0.413, compared to $0.414 per dozen for the comparable period of fiscal 2019, a decrease of 0.2%. Other farm production cost per dozen produced increased 6.1% to $0.332 for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019, compared to $0.313 for the same period of last year. The majority of the increase was accelerated amortization expense associated with selling flocks early due to market conditions, and higher labor costs.

Included in cost of sales for the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019 is a non-cash impairment loss on fixed assets of $2.9 million related to decommissioning some of our older, less efficient production facilities as we continue to invest in new facilities to meet the increasing demand for specialty eggs and reduce production costs.

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $29.4 million compared to $70.5 million for the same period of fiscal 2019. For the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2019, gross profit decreased to $8.3 million gross profit from $127.7 million for the same period of fiscal 2019. This decrease for both periods, was primarily due to the significant drop in market prices, which we believe reflects the current unfavorable supply and demand balance.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general, and administrative expenses include costs of marketing, distribution, accounting, and corporate overhead.  The following table presents an analysis of our selling, general, and administrative expenses (in thousands).

Payroll, taxes and benefits increased $886 thousand, or 9.5%, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to improved performance of the index fund utilized for the deferred compensation plan, as the participants are credited with investment earnings of the fund. This increased expense is offset by the unrealized gain on the investment in the fund recorded in other income. Increased employee medical insurance expense also contributed to the increase.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our working capital at November 30, 2019 was $346.0 million, compared to $492.8 million at June 1, 2019. The calculation of working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities. Our current ratio was 4.36 at November 30, 2019, compared with 7.58 at June 1, 2019.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we retired all outstanding long-term debt. As such there is no long-term debt at November 30, 2019, including current maturities, compared to $1.3 million at June 1, 2019. On July 10, 2018, we entered into a $100.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“the Revolving Credit Facility”). As of November 30, 2019, no amounts were borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by all the current and future wholly-owned direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the Company, and is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ accounts receivable, payment intangibles, instruments (including promissory notes), chattel paper, inventory (including farm products) and deposit accounts maintained with the administrative agent. The credit agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of liens, incurrence of additional debt, sales of assets and other fundamental corporate changes and investments. The credit agreement requires maintenance of two financial covenants (i) a minimum working capital ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and (ii) an annual limit on capital expenditures of $100.0 million. Additionally, the credit agreement requires that Fred R. Adams Jr., his spouse, natural children, sons-in-law or grandchildren, or any trust, guardianship, conservatorship or custodianship for the primary benefit of any of the foregoing, or any family limited partnership, similar limited liability company or other entity that 100% of the voting control of such entity is held by any of the foregoing, shall maintain at least 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Company. Failure to satisfy any of these covenants will constitute a default under the terms of the credit agreement. In addition, under the terms of the credit agreement, dividends are restricted to the Company’s current dividend policy of one-third of the

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, our fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, our fiscal 2020. The application of the guidance requires various transition methods depending on the specific amendment. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units’ fair value. The guidance is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, our fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017, and the prospective transition method should be applied. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This standard will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, our fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The application of the guidance requires various transition methods depending on the specific amendment and the prospective transition method should be applied. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Index 
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20) Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance removes disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial and adds new, as well as clarifies certain other, disclosure requirements. This standard will be effective in fiscal years after December 15, 2020, our fiscal 2021, with the option to early adopt at any time prior to the effective date, and it will require adoption on a retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES    

We suggest our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 1, 2019 (“2019 Annual Report”), and as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in such 2019 Annual Report and this Quarterly Report. Except for the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our 2019 Annual report. In addition, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies identified in our 2019 Annual Report.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

Our primary exposure to market risk arises from changes in the prices of eggs, corn and soybean meal, which are commodities subject to significant price fluctuations due to market conditions that are largely beyond our control. We are focused on growing our specialty shell egg business because the selling prices of specialty shell eggs are generally not as volatile as non-specialty shell egg prices. The following table outlines the impact of price changes for corn and soybean meal on feed cost per dozen:


Feed ingredientApproximate change in feed ingredient costApproximate impact on feed costs per dozenApproximate dollar impact on farm production cost for the 2019 fiscal year
Corn$0.28 change in the average market price per bushel$0.01  $8,767,050  
Soybean Meal$27 change in the average market price per ton$0.01  $8,767,050  

We generally do not enter into long-term contracts to purchase corn and soybean meal or hedge against increases in the price of corn and soybean meal.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Refer to the discussion of certain legal proceedings involving the Company and/or its subsidiaries in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended August 31, 2019, under Part II, Item 1: Legal Proceedings, and Part I Item 1, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11: Commitment and Contingencies; and to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 1, 2019, Part I Item 3: Legal Proceedings, and Part II Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 12: Contingencies, which discussions are incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

Our business and results of operations are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. The following risk factors update and refine previously disclosed risk factors from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 1, 2019. Our risk factors may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. They should be considered carefully, in addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 1, 2019, including under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in making any investment decisions with respect to our securities. Additional risks or uncertainties that are not currently known to us, that we currently deem to be immaterial or that could apply to any company could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Pressure from animal rights groups regarding the treatment of animals may subject us to additional costs to conform our practices to comply with developing standards or subject us to marketing costs to defend challenges to our current practices and protect our image with our customers. In particular, changes in customer preferences and new legislation have accelerated an increase in demand for cage-free eggs, which increases uncertainty in our business and increases our costs.

We and many of our customers face pressure from animal rights groups, such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the Humane Society of the United States, to require all companies that supply food products to operate their business in a manner that treats animals in conformity with certain standards developed or approved by these animal rights groups. The standards change over time, but typically require minimum cage space for hens, among other requirements, and some of these groups have had successful legislative efforts to ban any form of caged

housing in various states. In addition, in recent years, many large restaurant chains, food service companies and grocery chains, including our largest customers, announced goals to transition to a cage-free egg supply chain by specified future dates.

Several states have now passed minimum space and/or cage-free requirements for hens. For example, California passed Proposition 12 in November 2018, which provides for minimum space requirements per hen beginning in 2020 and mandates all eggs or egg products sold in California must be cage-free by 2022. Subsequently, Washington and Oregon have passed laws requiring cage-free hen housing by 2024. Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Michigan have passed laws establishing minimum space requirements for hens, which are being phased in over time. These laws affect sourcing, production and pricing of eggs (both conventional as well as specialty eggs) not only within these states but also in other areas of the country.

In response to the increase in demand for cage-free eggs, we have increased capital expenditures to expand or convert our existing facilities based on a timeline designed to meet our customers’ current and anticipated needs. In addition, the ongoing production of cage-free eggs is more costly than the production of conventional eggs. Changing our infrastructure and operating procedures to conform to the new customer demands and new laws has resulted and will continue to result in additional costs, including capital and operating cost increases. We may not be able to pass on these costs to our customers. Our customers typically do not commit to long-term purchases of specific quantities or type of eggs with us, and as a result, we cannot predict with any certainty which types of eggs they will require us to supply in future periods. Accordingly, we may over-estimate future demand for cage-free eggs, which could increase our costs unnecessarily, or we may under-estimate future demand for cage free eggs, which could harm us competitively. We are also enhancing our focus on cage-free capacity when considering acquisition opportunities, as discussed in more detail below.

Our growth strategy subjects us to various risks.

We plan to continue to pursue a growth strategy that includes acquisitions of other companies engaged in the production and sale of shell eggs. We consider many factors when evaluating an acquisition opportunity, including location relevant to our existing and potential customers, market share, and any costs we deem necessary to improve production at the acquired facilities and integrate them into our operations. We intend to continue to expand through selective acquisitions while monitoring the market demand for cage-free eggs and expending capital resources necessary to construct and convert farms to cage-free when necessary to meet our customers' needs and timeline.

Acquisitions require capital resources and can divert management’s attention from our existing business. Acquisitions also entail an inherent risk that we could become subject to contingent or other liabilities, including liabilities arising from events or conduct prior to our acquisition of a business that were unknown to us at the time of acquisition. We could incur significantly greater expenditures in integrating an acquired business than we anticipated at the time of its purchase. We may over-estimate or under-estimate the demand for cage-free eggs, which could cause our acquisition strategy to be less-than-optimal for our future growth and profitability.

We cannot assure you that we:

• will identify suitable acquisition candidates;
• can consummate acquisitions on acceptable terms;
• can successfully integrate an acquired business into our operations; or
• can successfully manage the operations of an acquired business.

No assurance can be given that companies we acquire in the future will contribute positively to our results of operations or financial condition. In addition, federal antitrust laws require regulatory approval of acquisitions that exceed certain threshold levels of significance.

The consideration we pay in connection with any acquisition affects our financial results. If we pay cash, we could be required to use a portion of our available cash to consummate the acquisition. To the extent we issue shares of our Common Stock, existing stockholders may be diluted. In addition, acquisitions may result in the incurrence of debt.
