NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except where noted and per share data)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or “Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, JBSS Ventures, LLC. Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of
fifty-two
weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

| • |  | References herein to fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 are to the fiscal year ending June 24, 2021 and the fiscal year ended June 25, 2020, respectively.

| • |  | References herein to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 are to the quarters ended December 24, 2020 and December 26, 2019, respectively.

| • |  | References herein to the first half or first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 are to the twenty-six weeks ended December 24, 2020 and December 26, 2019, respectively.

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds, and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the
Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest,
Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts
and
Sunshine Country
brand names. We also market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. Our products are sold through three primary distribution channels to significant buyers of nuts, including food retailers in the consumer channel, commercial ingredient users and contract packaging customers.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements fairly present the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The balance sheet data as of June 25, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2020.
Note 2 – Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For each customer contract, a five-step process is followed in which we identify the contract, identify performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
When Performance Obligations Are Satisfied
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligations are primarily for the delivery of raw and processed recipe and snack nuts, nut butters and trail mixes.

Table of Contents
Our customer contracts do not include more than one performance obligation. If a contract were to contain more than one performance obligation, we are required to allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for each distinct good is generally determined by directly observable data.
Revenue recognition is generally completed at a point in time when product control is transferred to the customer. For virtually all of our revenues, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms, as the customer can then direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset at that point in time. Therefore the timing of our revenue recognition requires little judgment.
Variable Consideration
Some of our products are sold through specific incentive programs consisting of promotional allowances, volume and customer rebates,
in-store
display incentives and marketing allowances, among others, to consumer and some commercial ingredient customers. The ultimate cost of these programs is dependent on certain factors such as actual purchase volumes or customer activities and is dependent on significant management estimate and judgment. The Company accounts for these programs as variable consideration and recognizes a reduction in revenue (and a corresponding reduction in the transaction price) in the same period as the underlying program based upon the terms of the specific arrangements.
Trade promotions, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances, merchandising funds and consumer coupons, are also offered through various programs to customers and consumers. A provision for estimated trade promotions is recorded as a reduction of revenue (and a reduction in the transaction price) in the same period when the sale is recognized. Revenues are also recorded net of expected customer deductions which are provided for based upon past experiences. Evaluating these estimates requires management judgment.
We generally use the most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We believe there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration and trade promotions at least quarterly based on the terms of the agreements and historical experience. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe, therefore, no additional constraint on the variable consideration is required.
Contract Balances
Contract assets or liabilities result from transactions with revenue recorded over time. If the measure of remaining rights exceeds the measure of the remaining performance obligations the Company records a contract asset. Conversely, if the measure of the remaining performance obligations exceeds the measure of the remaining rights, the Company records a contract liability. There was no contract asset balance for any periods presented. The Company generally does not have material deferred revenue or contract liability balances arising from transactions with customers.
Disaggregation of Revenue
Revenue disaggregated by sales channel is as follows:

|  | For the Quarter Ended |  |  | For the Twenty-six Weeks Ended |
Distribution Channel |  | December 24, 2020 |  |  | December 26, 2019 |  |  | December 24, 2020 |  |  | December 26, 2019 |

We lease equipment used in the transportation of goods in our warehouses, as well as a limited number of automobiles and a small warehouse near our Bainbridge, Georgia facility. Our leases generally do not contain
non-lease
components and do not contain any explicit guarantees of residual value. Our leases for warehouse transportation equipment generally require the equipment to be returned to the lessor in good working order.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and analyze the lease to determine if it is operating or finance. Operating lease
right-of-use
assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease
right-of-use
assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental collateralized borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Implicit rates are used when readily determinable. None of our leases currently contain options to extend the term. In the event of an option to extend the term of a lease, the lease term used in measuring the liability would include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. Our leases have remaining terms of up to 5.5 years.
It is our accounting policy to not apply lease recognition requirements to short term leases, defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As such, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have also made the policy election to not separate lease and
non-lease
components for all leases.
The following table provides supplemental information related to operating lease
right-of-use
assets and liabilities:

At December 24, 2020, the Company has one additional operating lease of approximately $83 that has not yet commenced and therefore is not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and tables above. The lease is scheduled
to
commence in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 with an initial lease term of 5 years.
Lessor Accounting
We lease office space in our four-story office building located in Elgin, Illinois. As a lessor, we retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment property and under Topic 842 we continue to account for all of our leases as operating leases. Lease agreements may include options to renew. We accrue fixed lease income on a
straight-line
basis over the terms of the leases. There is generally no variable lease consideration and an immaterial amount of
non-lease
components such as recurring utility and storage fees. Leases between related parties are immaterial.
Leasing revenue is as follows:

weeks ended December 24, 2020.
Note 6 – Credit Facility
Our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 5, 2020 provides for a $117,500 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property and fixtures.
At December 24, 2020, we had $105,146 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $9,169 and reduced availability as a result of $3,185 in outstanding letters of credit. As of December 24, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility and Mortgage Facility (as defined below).

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
We are currently a party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While management presently believes that the ultimate outcomes of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially affect our Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur. Unfavorable outcomes could include substantial monetary damages in excess of any appropriate accruals, which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1 |  | –   Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 |  | –   Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3 |  | –   Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available.

The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values at each balance sheet date because of the short-term maturities and nature of these balances.
The carrying value of our revolving credit facility borrowings approximates fair value at each balance sheet date because interest rates on this instrument approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria), and because of the short-term maturity and nature of this balance. In addition, there has been no significant change in our inherent credit risk.
The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our current and long-term debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs:

|  | December 24, 2020 |  |  | June 25, 2020 |  |  | December 26, 2019 |
Carrying value of long-term debt: |  | $ | 16,627 |  |  | $ | 20,059 |  |  | $ | 23,767 |
Fair value of long-term debt: |  |  | 17,180 |  |  |  | 20,186 |  |  |  | 24,164 |

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using a market approach based upon Level 2 observable inputs, which estimates fair value based on interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality or broker quotes. In addition, there have been no significant changes in the underlying assets securing our long-term debt.
Note 13 – Related Party Transaction
In connection with the acquisition of the Squirrel Brand business in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we incurred $11,500 of unsecured debt pursuant to a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the principal owner and seller of the Squirrel Brand business, who was subsequently appointed as an executive officer of the Company and was considered a related party. Late in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the employment of this executive officer with the Company ceased. He is no longer considered a related party, and therefore the outstanding balance on the Promissory Note is not reflected as related party debt on our Consolidated Balance Sheet for any periods presented. There was no related party interest paid to this former executive officer during the
twenty-six
weeks ended December 24, 2020, and interest paid while the former executive officer was a related party was $57 and $127 for the quarter and
twenty-six
weeks ended December 26, 2019, respectively.
Note 14 – Garysburg, North Carolina Facility
On October 7, 2019 we experienced a fire at our peanut processing facility located in Garysburg, North Carolina. The fire occurred in our roasting room where all of the roasting equipment was destroyed. The fire also damaged some equipment in our packaging room and a portion of the roof. During fiscal 2020, the building and roof were repaired and brought back to their original condition.
After evaluating our options with regard to our peanut production operations, the Company currently plans to cease all operations permanently at the Garysburg facility. We completed shelling of the 2019 peanut crop during the
16

Table of Contents
second quarter of this fiscal year and the facility will continue to be used to store and ship inshell peanuts through the remainder of fiscal 2021. We also expect to spend the remainder of the 2021 fiscal year cleaning and preparing the facility for sale or other utilization in our operations. Employee separation and related closure costs were immaterial for all periods presented.
We have adequate property damage and business interruption insurance in respect to this event, subject to applicable deductibles. Insurance claims have been filed under our property damage and business interruption policies. Insurance proceeds totaling
$2,934
were received from the insurance carrier in fiscal 2020, and a receivable of
$2,523
for the estimated final payment was recorded in the current second quarter. Insurance proceeds received for damage to capital equipment are recorded as investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when received.
Note 15 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following recent accounting pronouncements have been adopted in the current fiscal year:
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU
No. 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
”. The amendments in this Update align 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 (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). ASU
No. 2018-15
was adopted using the prospective method in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2018-14
“
Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic
715-20):
Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
”. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this Update remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU
No. 2018-14
was adopted on a retrospective basis to all periods presented in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and had no impact on our quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2017-04
“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”.
The amendments in this Update eliminate the need for entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination, commonly referred to as “Step 2”. Under this amendment, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. ASU
No. 2017-04
was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-13
“
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
”. The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU
No. 2016-13
was adopted using a modified retrospective transition method in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that have been issued and not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 16 – Subsequent Event
On January 27, 2021
, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $2.50 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock of the Company (the “January 2021 Dividends”). The January 2021 Dividends will be paid on March 16, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 26, 2021.

Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of
fifty-two
weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

| • |  | References herein to fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 are to the fiscal year ending June 24, 2021 and the fiscal year ended June 25, 2020, respectively.

| • |  | References herein to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 are to the quarters ended December 24, 2020 and December 26, 2019, respectively.

| • |  | References herein to the first half or first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 are to the twenty-six weeks ended December 24, 2020 and December 26, 2019, respectively.

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” or “Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary, JBSS Ventures, LLC. Our Company’s Credit Facility and Mortgage Facility, as defined below, are sometimes collectively referred to as “our financing arrangements.”
We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the
Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest,
Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts
and
Sunshine Country
brand names. We also market and distribute, and in most cases, manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, snack bites, sunflower kernels, dried fruit, corn snacks, chickpea snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredients and contract packaging distribution channels.
The Company’s long-term objective to drive profitable growth, as identified in our Strategic Plan, includes continuing to grow
Fisher,
Orchard Valley Harvest, Squirrel Brand
and
Southern Style Nuts
into leading brands and providing integrated nut solutions to grow
non-branded
business across key customers. We plan to execute on our Strategic Plan to grow our branded business by reaching new consumers via product and pack innovation, expanding distribution across current and alternative channels and focusing on new ways to buy, with an emphasis on increasing our sales via
e-commerce
platforms and retailers. In addition, we intend to invest in our people and facilities in order to research, develop, market and sell new product offerings for our branded business and private brand partners in fiscal 2021.
We face a number of challenges in the future which include, among others, decreasing commodity acquisition costs, as well as intensified competition on pricing and for market share from both private brand and name brand nut products. Our
Fisher
recipe nut sales have been negatively impacted due to this increased competition for market share. We also face changing industry trends as consumer preferences shift to shopping in smaller store formats like grocery and online. As restaurant closures and other
out-of-home
dining limitations continue due to the impact of
COVID-19,
consumers are also doing more snacking and cooking and baking at home. While these developments have had a positive impact on certain aspects of our consumer business, they have had a negative impact on our foodservice business.
We will continue to focus on seeking profitable business opportunities to maximize the utilization of our production capacity at our primary manufacturing, processing and distribution facility located in Elgin, Illinois. We expect to redirect our promotional and advertising activity with respect to our brands to focus on more digital and
e-commerce
platforms to match consumer behavior. We continue to see strong
e-commerce
performance across our
Orchard Valley Harvest
and
Fisher
recipe brands and expect that there will be additional opportunities to connect these brands to consumers’ desires for more functional snacking and baking and cooking ideas, respectively. We will continue to face the ongoing challenges specific to our business, such as food safety and regulatory compliance and the maintenance and growth of our customer base for branded and private label products. See the information referenced in Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties.

COVID-19
Impacts
We will continue to face challenges in our fiscal 2021 as result of the
COVID-19
pandemic and the uncertainty of future local, state and federal restrictions aimed to mitigate and control the pandemic. As many of these restrictions were loosened near the conclusion of our fiscal 2020, we saw a gradual (albeit limited) increase in demand from our foodservice, restaurant, convenience store and
non-essential
retail customers. However, as conditions surrounding the pandemic deteriorated during the fall and winter of calendar 2020 and into calendar 2021, consumers were and continue to be limited in their ability to purchase meals outside their homes, and therefore, demand continued to be suppressed from our foodservice, restaurant, convenience store and
non-essential
retail customers. Although demand has been suppressed from our foodservice customers, the chart below indicates that the rate of decline is recovering from its low point in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, and we believe that as the
COVID-19
vaccine becomes more widely distributed and accepted by the public, and restrictions are again loosened, sales volume with our foodservice, restaurant, convenience store and
non-essential
retail customers will continue to improve and we expect to eventually return to
pre-pandemic
levels.
Also, in the first half of fiscal 2021, we have seen signs of a shortage in capacity in the transportation industry, which our transportation service providers believe is due to driver concerns related to the impacts of
COVID-19.
Compounding this driver shortage is an increase in demand driven by additional spending on consumer goods. This tightening in transportation capacity is expected to continue through the third quarter of fiscal 2021, has led to increased transportation costs and may lead to potential disruptions in service to our customers and from our suppliers.
The Company’s
COVID-19
crisis team, which was created in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, continues to meet on a regular basis to discuss risks faced by the Company and mitigation strategies. We continue to follow recommendations made by state and federal regulators and health agencies to ensure the safety and health of our employees as those recommendations change and evolve. We have implemented (among other things) a temporary work from home option for the majority of our office employees, staggered shifts and breaks, installed partitions on production lines and office space where social distancing could not be consistently maintained and installed thermal scanners to measure temperature for all employees upon arrival. We update and enhance these measures as new guidance is provided. In addition, we have extended personal time off for those who are in self quarantine or ill.
We have worked closely with our domestic and global suppliers to source and maintain a consistent supply of raw materials, ingredients and packaging. To date, none of our manufacturing facilities have been significantly impacted by this pandemic. We have contingency plans in place to help reduce the negative impact if one or more of our manufacturing facilities encounters a partial or full shut down.

We have seen acquisition costs for all major tree nuts decrease in the 2020 crop year (which falls into our current 2021 fiscal year). We completed procurement of inshell walnuts during the first half of fiscal 2021. During the third quarter, we will determine the final prices to be paid to the walnut growers based upon current market prices and other factors such as crop size and export demand. We have estimated the liability to our walnut growers and our walnut inventory costs using currently available information. Any difference between our estimated liability and the actual final liability will be determined during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and will be recognized in our financial results at that time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
Our net sales decreased 5.2% to $233.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to net sales of $246.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to lower selling prices for tree nuts, which were due to lower commodity acquisition costs. The decline in net sales from lower selling prices was partially offset by a 1.8% increase in sales volume, which is defined as pounds sold to customers.
For the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 our net sales were $443.8 million, a decrease of $20.4 million, or 4.4%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2020. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to lower selling prices resulting primarily for the same reasons cited in the quarterly comparison. A 0.7% decrease in sales volume also contributed to the overall decline in net sales.
The following table summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

(1) | Sales of branded products were approximately 27% and 31% of total consumer sales during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. Fisher branded products were approximately 70% and 71% of branded sales during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively, with branded produce products accounting for majority of the remaining branded product sales.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased $3.9 million, or 2.1%, and sales volume increased 9.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The sales volume increase was driven by increased sales of private brand peanuts, trail mixes and snack mixes, as consumer preferences have shifted to lower priced products due to current economic conditions. Sales volume for
Fisher
snack nuts increased 30.2%, primarily as a result of increased promotional activity. Sales volume of
Fisher
recipe nuts decreased 18.4% as a result of lost distribution at some customers, which was offset in part by increased sales with an Internet retailer. Sales volume
of
Orchard Valley Harvest
products decreased 13.0% due to reduced foot traffic at a major customer in the
non-food
sector as a result of
COVID-19,
reduced promotional activity and lost distribution at some customers. Sales volume of
Southern Style Nuts
decreased 4.2% due to a reduction in merchandising and promotional activity, which was offset in part by distribution gains with new customers.
In the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021, net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased $13.6 million, or 3.9%, and sales volume increased 7.0% compared to the same period of fiscal 2020. The sales volume increase occurred for the same reason cited in the quarterly comparison.
Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel decreased by 40.0% in dollars and 23.6% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The decline in sales volume was due to a 29.4% decrease in sales volume in our foodservice business. The sales volume decline in our foodservice business resulted from a decline in air travel and nationwide restrictions on indoor restaurant dining and closures of restaurants, all of which were attributable to
COVID-19.
In the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021, net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel decreased by 39.1% in dollars and 25.6% in sales volume compared to the same period of fiscal 2020. The decline in sales volume was due to a 35.5% decrease in sales volume in our foodservice business, which occurred for the same reasons cited in the quarterly comparison.
Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel decreased by 12.8% in dollars and 14.1% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The decline in sales volume was primarily attributable to the unfavorable impact of lower convenience store foot traffic on one customer’s business as a result of
COVID-19.
In the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021, net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel decreased by 12.9% in dollars and 13.2% in sales volume compared to the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2020. The decline in sales volume occurred for the same reason cited in the quarterly comparison, as well as the loss of peanut butter business with another customer due to a temporary peanut supply shortage that existed in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by $2.8 million, or 5.6%, to $52.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 22.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 20.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increases in gross profit and gross profit margin were mainly attributable to lower commodity acquisition costs for tree nuts and the sales volume increase discussed above.

Table of Contents
Gross profit was $92.1 million for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 compared to $92.2 million for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2020. Our gross profit margin increased to 20.8% for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 compared to 19.9% for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2020. The increase in gross profit margin in the year to date comparison was primarily attributable to lower commodity acquisition costs for tree nuts.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.0%, to $25.0 million. Operating expenses increased to 10.7% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 10.4% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
Selling expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $17.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 9.9%, from the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was driven primarily by a $1.0 million increase in advertising expense primarily related to online advertising for our branded products and a $0.7 million increase in freight expense due to higher rates and an increase in sales pounds shipped.
Administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $7.3 million compared to $9.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.3 million gain on the estimated final insurance settlement related to the fire that occurred in our Garysburg, North Carolina facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
Total operating expenses for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 decreased by $3.2 million, or 6.7%, to $45.5 million. Operating expenses decreased to 10.2% of net sales for the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to 10.5% of net sales for the first half of fiscal 2020.
Selling expenses for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 were $29.8 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 1.4%, from the amount recorded for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2020. The decrease was driven primarily by a $0.5 million decrease in payroll related and incentive compensation expense and a $0.3 million decrease in travel expense due to
COVID-19
travel restrictions. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in freight expense for the same reasons discussed in the quarterly comparison.
Administrative expenses for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 were $15.7 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 15.2%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2020. The decrease was primarily due to $2.5 million gain on asset disposals, mainly resulting from the insurance settlement discussed above, combined with a $0.3 million decrease in consulting expense.
Income from Operations
Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations was $27.8 million, or 11.9% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $24.5 million, or 9.9% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations was $46.7 million, or 10.5% of net sales, for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 compared to $43.5 million, or 9.4% of net sales, for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2020.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $0.4 million for both the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020. Interest expense for the first two quarters of fiscal 2021 was $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million for the first two quarters of fiscal 2020. The decrease in interest expense in the year to date comparison resulted from lower weighted average interest rates from the reduction of long-term debt and was largely offset by higher average short-term debt levels.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net
Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.8 million for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 compared to $0.7 million for the first

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
The primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, pursue our Strategic Plan through growing our branded and private label nut programs and repay indebtedness. Also, various uncertainties could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash are results of operations and availability under our Credit Facility. We anticipate that expected net cash flow generated from operations and amounts available pursuant to the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Our available credit under our Credit Facility has allowed us to devote more funds to promote our branded products, consummate strategic business acquisitions such as the fiscal 2018 acquisition of the Squirrel Brand business, reinvest in the Company through capital expenditures, develop new products, pay cash dividends and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Strategic Plan.
Cash flows from operating activities have historically been driven by net income but are also significantly influenced by inventory requirements, which can change based upon fluctuations in both quantities and market prices of the various nuts and nut products we buy and sell. Current market trends in nut prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.
The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the first half of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively (dollars in thousands):

|  | December 24, 2020 |  |  | December 26, 2019 |  |  | $ Change |

Table of Contents
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $61.9 million for the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 compared to $54.3 million for the comparative period of fiscal 2020. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily due to a decreased use of working capital for inventory compared to the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2020.
Total inventories were $155.4 million at December 24, 2020, a decrease of $16.7 million, or 9.7%, from the inventory balance at June 25, 2020, and a decrease of $17.0 million, or 9.8%, from the inventory balance at December 26, 2019. The decrease in inventory at December 24, 2020 compared to June 25, 2020 was primarily due to lower commodity acquisition costs for all major tree nuts and lower quantities of peanuts and pecans on hand, which was partially offset by greater quantities of walnuts on hand. The decrease in inventories at December 24, 2020 compared to December 26, 2019 was primarily due lower commodity acquisition costs for all major tree nuts and lower quantities of peanuts on hand.
Raw nut and dried fruit input stocks, some of which are classified as work in process, decreased by 14.2 million pounds, or 19.4%, at December 24, 2020 compared to December 26, 2019 due to lower quantities of peanuts on hand. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 4.6% compared to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020 primarily due to lower commodity acquisition costs for all major tree nuts, which was partially offset by a shift in product mix from lower priced peanuts to higher priced walnuts and pecans.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $10.7 million during the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 compared to $6.1 million for the same period last year. We expect total capital expenditures for new equipment, facility upgrades, and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2021 to be approximately $23.0 million. The projected increase in capital expenditures from our previous expenditure level is due to a strategic investment for a new product line. Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and borrowings available under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements for planned capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $51.0 million during the first
twenty-six
weeks of fiscal 2021 compared to $48.3 million for the same period last year. Dividends paid in the first half of fiscal 2021 were approximately $28.6 million lower than dividends paid in the same period last year. Net repayments under our Credit Facility were $17.8 million during the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to net short-term borrowings of $13.5 million for the first half of fiscal 2020.
Real Estate Matters
In August 2008, we completed the consolidation of our Chicago-based facilities into the Elgin Site. The Elgin Site includes both an office building and a warehouse. We are currently attempting to find additional tenants for the available space in the office building at the Elgin Site. Until additional tenant(s) are found, we will not receive the benefit of rental income associated with such space. Approximately 67% of the rentable area in the office building is currently vacant. Approximately 29% of the rentable area has not been
built-out.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to lease the unoccupied space and further capital expenditures will likely be necessary to lease the remaining space.
Financing Arrangements
On February 7, 2008, we entered into the Former Credit Agreement (as defined below) with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 million revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the “Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36.0 million (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9.0 million (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45.0 million (the “Mortgage Facility”).
On March 5, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated our Credit Agreement dated as of February 7, 2008 (the “Former Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $117.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the same borrowing capacity, interest rates and applicable margin as the Former Credit Agreement and extends the term of the Former Credit Agreement from July 7, 2021 to March 5, 2025.
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets other than machinery and equipment, real property, and fixtures and matures on March 5, 2025. The Mortgage Facility is secured by mortgages on essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois, Gustine, California and Garysburg, North Carolina (the “Encumbered Properties”).

Credit Facility
At our election, borrowings under the Credit Facility currently accrue interest at either (i) a rate determined pursuant to the administrative agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the amount of loans which may be advanced under the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% (“Base Rate”) or (ii) a rate based upon the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin based upon the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%.
At December 24, 2020, the interest rate for the Credit Facility was at the Base Rate of 3.5%. There were no borrowings under LIBOR contracts due to the low debt against the Credit Facility and projected positive cash flow for January. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that, among other things, require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, acquisitions and certain sales of assets and limit annual cash dividends or distributions, transactions with affiliates, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loan availability under the borrowing base calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis, until loan availability equals or exceeds $25.0 million for three consecutive months. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders have the option to accelerate and demand immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company,
non-compliance
with the financial covenant or upon the occurrence of other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of December 24, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. At December 24, 2020, we had $105.1 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. If this entire amount were borrowed at December 24, 2020, we would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.
Mortgage Facility
The Mortgage Facility matures on March 1, 2023. On March 1, 2018 the interest rate on the Mortgage Facility was fixed at 4.25% per annum. Monthly principal payments on the Mortgage Facility in the amount of $0.3 million commenced on June 1, 2008.
The terms of the Mortgage Facility contain covenants that require us to maintain a specified net worth of $110.0 million and maintain the Encumbered Properties. The Mortgage Lender is entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Mortgage Facility in the event we default in the payments required under the Mortgage Facility,
non-compliance
with the covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Mortgage Facility. As of December 24, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility and a total principal amount of $7.4 million was outstanding.
Selma Property
In September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties (the “Selma Properties”) to two related party partnerships for $14.3 million and are leasing them back. The selling price was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma Properties has a
ten-year
term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. In September 2015, we exercised two of the five-year renewal options which extended the lease term to September 2026. The lease extension also reduced the monthly lease payment on the Selma Properties, beginning in September 2016, to reflect then current market conditions. One five-year renewal option remains. Also, we have an option to purchase the Selma Properties from the owner at 95% (100% in certain circumstances) of the then fair market value, but not less than the original $14.3 million purchase price. The provisions of the arrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting and the $14.3 million was recorded as a debt obligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. As of December 24, 2020, $9.2 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.
Squirrel Brand Seller-Financed Note
In November 2017 we completed the Squirrel Brand acquisition. The acquisition was financed by a combination of cash (drawn under the Credit Facility) and a three-year seller-financed note for $11.5 million (“Promissory Note”). As of December 24, 2020, the Promissory Note was repaid in full.
