BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (referred to herein as “Pilgrim’s,” “PPC,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar terms) is one of the largest chicken producers in the world, with operations in the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Mexico, France, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. Pilgrim’s products are sold to foodservice, retail and frozen entrée customers. The Company’s primary distribution is through retailers, foodservice distributors and restaurants throughout the countries listed above. Additionally, the Company exports chicken and pork products to over 110 countries. Our fresh products consist of refrigerated whole or cut-up chicken, selected chicken parts that are either marinated or non-marinated, primary pork cuts, added value pork, and pork ribs. The Company’s prepared products include fully cooked, ready-to-cook and individually frozen chicken parts, strips, nuggets and patties, processed sausages, bacon, smoked meat, gammon joints, pre-packed meats, sandwich and deli counter meats and meatballs. The Company’s other products include plant-based protein offerings, ready-to-eat meals, multi-protein frozen foods, vegetarian foods and desserts. The Company also provides direct-to-consumer meals and hot food to-go solutions in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland. We operate feed mills, hatcheries, processing plants and distribution centers in the U.S., the U.K., Mexico, France, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. As of June 30, 2024, Pilgrim’s had approximately 62,400 employees and had the capacity to process approximately 41.3 million birds per 5-day work week. Approximately 4,400 contract growers supply chicken for the Company’s operations. As of June 30, 2024, PPC had the capacity to process approximately 42,750 pigs per 5-day work week and 215 contract growers supply pigs for the Company’s U.K. operations. As of June 30, 2024, JBS S.A., through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “JBS”), beneficially owned 82.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments unless otherwise disclosed) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 29, 2024. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company operates on the basis of a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday falling on or before December 31. Any reference we make to a particular year (for example, 2024) in the notes to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements applies to our fiscal year and not the calendar year. The six months ended June 30, 2024 represents the period from January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024. The six months ended June 25, 2023 represents the period from December 26, 2022 through June 25, 2023. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. We eliminate all significant affiliate accounts and transactions upon consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP using management’s best estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and judgments. Significant estimates made by the Company include the allowance for credit losses, reserves related to inventory obsolescence or valuation, useful lives of long-lived assets, goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, insurance accruals, valuation of pension and other postretirement benefits obligations, income tax accruals, certain derivative positions, certain litigation reserves and valuations of acquired businesses. The functional currency of the Company’s U.S. operations and certain holding-company subsidiaries in Luxembourg, the U.K., Malta and the Republic of Ireland is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of its U.K. operations is the British pound. The functional currency of the Company’s operations in France, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland is the euro. The Company has determined that there was a significant change in economic factors that necessitated a reassessment of the appropriate functional currency of the Mexico reportable segment. The primary economic factors driving the change include 1) the recent sustained, historical strengthening of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and against other global currencies without a correlated impact on the average product sales prices of our Mexico operations and 2) a shift in the proportional volume of spend we have that is denominated in Mexican peso in relation to spend that is denominated in U.S. dollar. As a result of this reassessment, on April 1, 2024, the Company changed the functional currency of its Mexico operations from U.S. dollar to the Mexican peso. The change in the functional currency was accounted for on April 1, 2024, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For foreign currency-denominated entities, including the Company’s Mexico operations after April 1, 2024, translation from local currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are remeasured using average exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from translation of these financial records are reflected as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the Company’s Mexico operations prior to April 1, 2024, remeasurement from the Mexican peso to U.S. dollars was performed for monetary assets and liabilities using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. Remeasurement was performed for non-monetary assets using the historical exchange rate in effect on the date of each asset’s acquisition. Income and expense accounts were remeasured using average exchange rates for the period. Net adjustments that resulted from remeasurement of the financial records, as well as foreign currency transaction gains and losses, are reflected in Foreign currency transaction losses (gains) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents The Company is required to maintain cash balances with brokers as collateral for exchange-traded futures contracts. These balances are classified as restricted cash as they are not available for use by the Company to fund daily operations. The balance of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents may also include investments in U.S. Treasury Bills that qualify as restricted cash equivalents, as required by the brokers, to offset the obligation to return cash collateral. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total of the same amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
|  | June 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
|  | (In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,317,087 |  |  | $ | 697,748 |
Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents |  | 17,039 |  |  | 33,475 |
Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows |  | $ | 1,334,126 |  |  | $ | 731,223 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted as of June 30, 2024 In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires additional disclosures for reportable segments. The guidance requires disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker along with additional measures of segment profit that are regularly used by the chief operating decision maker in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The provisions of the new guidance will be effective for years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company plans to adopt this guidance for the annual reporting period of the current fiscal year and is still assessing the impacts on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional disclosures for income taxes to enhance transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance requires additional disclosures for the tabular rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and the disaggregation of domestic, federal and state, and foreign components within income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. The provisions of the new guidance will be effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company plans to adopt this guidance as it becomes effective and is assessing the impacts on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
