1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements of SunOpta Inc. (the "Company" or "SunOpta") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the quarter and two quarters ended June 27, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending January 2, 2021 or for any other period. The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2019. 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 fiscal year ended December 28, 2019.

As described in note 14, in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company changed its segment reporting to reflect changes to its operating structure. All segment information presented in these consolidated financial statements for the quarter and two quarters ended June 29, 2019 has been restated to reflect the new segment reporting structure.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year of the Company consists of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2020 is a 53-week period ending on January 2, 2021, with quarterly periods ending on March 28, June 27 and September 26, 2020. Fiscal year 2019 was a 52-week period ending on December 28, 2019, with quarterly periods ending on March 30, June 29 and September 28, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which requires the immediate recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for most financial assets. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 under the modified retrospective approach and applied the new guidance to its short-term accounts receivable. The adoption of this new guidance did not result in the recognition of additional allowances for credit losses. The Company closely monitors receivable balances and estimates the allowance for credit losses based on historical collection experience, and account aging analysis and trends. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance each reporting period, considering individual customer account reviews, write-offs recorded in the period, sales forecasts and trends, and current and expected economic conditions.

2. Revenue

The Company procures, processes and sells organic and non-GMO ingredients, and processes and packages plant-based and fruit-based foods and beverages. The Company's customers include retailers, foodservice operators, branded food companies and food manufacturers.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents for each of the fair value hierarchies, the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019:

|  | June 27, 2020 |

Not designated as hedging instruments |  | (73 | ) |  | — |  |  | (73 | ) |  | — |

(1) Commodity futures contracts

As at June 27, 2020, outstanding contracts comprised exchange-traded commodity futures for cocoa and coffee, which are used as part of the Company's risk management strategy and represent economic hedges to limit risk related to fluctuations in the price of these commodities. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Exchange-traded futures are fair valued based on unadjusted quotes for identical assets priced in active markets and are classified as level 1. Gains and losses on changes in the fair value of these contracts are included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statement of operations. For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the Company recognized a gain of $0.4 million (June 29, 2019 - gain of $0.4 million), and for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, the Company recognized a loss of $0.2 million (June 29, 2019 - gain of $0.3 million), related to changes in the fair value of these contracts. On the consolidated balance sheets, unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively.

As at June 27, 2020, the Company had net open futures contracts to sell 2,160 metric tons ("MT") of cocoa (December 28, 2019 - to sell 3,210 MT) and to purchase 85 MT of coffee (December 28, 2019 - to sell 306 MT).

(2) Foreign forward currency contracts

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For any open forward foreign exchange contracts at period end, the contract rate is compared to the forward rate, and a gain or loss is recorded. These contracts are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs used in making the fair value determination are derived from and are corroborated by observable market data. These contracts typically represent economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments; however, certain of these contracts may be designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

SunOpta Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the quarters and two quarters ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 (Unaudited) (All tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

As at June 27, 2020, the Company had open forward foreign exchange contracts to sell euros to buy U.S. dollars with a notional value of €18.2 million ($20.4 million), to sell British pounds to buy euros with a notional value of £0.4 million (€0.5 million), and to sell Swiss francs to buy U.S. dollars with a notional value of CHF 3.8 million ($4.0 million). As these contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, gains and losses on changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are included in foreign exchange loss or gain on the consolidated statement of operations. For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the Company recognized a loss of $0.2 million (June 29, 2019 - loss of $0.4 million), and for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, the Company recognized a gain of $0.0 million (June 29, 2019 - loss of $0.4 million), related to changes in the fair value of these open contracts. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in accounts receivable and accounts payable, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

In April 2020, the Company entered into a combination of foreign currency put and call option contracts (a zero-cost collar) to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in the Mexican peso related to purchases of fruit inventory from Mexico through the remainder of 2020. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts was $21.5 million at inception, which reduces to zero over the course of 2020, with contracts in the notional amount of $11.5 million remaining open as at June 27, 2020. The collar has a ceiling rate of 25.23 Mexican pesos to the U.S. dollar and a floor rate of 23.50 Mexican pesos to the U.S. dollar. If the spot rate is between these two rates on the date of maturity of each of the contracts, then the Company does not recognize any gain or loss under these contracts. If the spot rate goes below the floor rate of the collar, the Company will recognize a foreign exchange gain, and if the spot rate goes above the ceiling rate of the collar, the Company will recognize a foreign exchange loss. For the quarter and two quarters ended June 27, 2020, the Company did not recognize any amount of unrealized gain or loss on the open contracts.

(1) Global Credit Facility

On February 11, 2016, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, subject to borrowing base capacity (the "Global Credit Facility"). The Global Credit Facility is used to support the working capital and general corporate needs of the Company's global operations, in addition to funding future strategic initiatives. The Global Credit Facility also includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and provides for borrowings on same-day notice, including in the form of swingline loans. On January 28, 2020, the credit agreement was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the Global Credit Facility to March 31, 2022.

Individual borrowings under the Global Credit Facility have terms of six months or less and bear interest based on various reference rates plus an applicable margin. The margin ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% with respect to base rate and prime rate borrowings and from 1.25% to 1.75% for eurocurrency rate and bankers' acceptance rate borrowings. In connection with the amendment of the credit agreement on January 28, 2020, the applicable margin rate on any loans under the Global Credit Facility (including the U.S. Subfacility, as described below) is increased by an additional 0.50% while the Company's total leverage ratio exceeds a specific threshold.

On September 19, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the Global Credit Facility to add a $15.0 million U.S. asset-based credit subfacility (the "U.S. Subfacility"). On October 22, 2018, the Global Credit Facility was further amended to increase the commitment under the U.S. Subfacility to $20.0 million. Commencing on March 31, 2019, quarterly amortization payments on the aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Subfacility are equal to $3.33 million, and these payments may be funded through borrowings under the revolving facilities of the Global Credit Facility. Borrowings repaid under the U.S. Subfacility may not be borrowed again. As at June 27, 2020, $3.33 million remained drawn on the U.S. Subfacility, which was repaid on June 30, 2020. Borrowings under the U.S. Subfacility bear interest based on various reference rates plus a margin based on average borrowing availability for the preceding fiscal quarter, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% with respect to base rate and prime rate borrowings and from 3.00% to 3.50% for eurocurrency rate and bankers' acceptance rate borrowings.

As at June 27, 2020, the weighted-average interest rate on all borrowings under the Global Credit Facility was 2.95%.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the quarters and two quarters ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019
(Unaudited)
(All tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

Obligations under the Global Credit Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, such obligations are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The Global Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company's ability to create liens on assets; sell assets and enter into sale and leaseback transactions; pay dividends, prepay junior lien and unsecured indebtedness and make other restricted payments; incur additional indebtedness and make guarantees; make investments, loans or advances, including acquisitions; and engage in mergers or consolidations. The foregoing covenants are subject to certain threshold amounts and exceptions as set forth in the credit agreement.

(2) Bulgarian credit facility

Borrowings under this €6.0 million revolving credit facility are used to cover the working capital needs of the Bulgarian operations of The Organic Corporation B.V. ("TOC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and are secured by the accounts receivable and inventories of the Bulgarian operations and fully guaranteed by TOC. Interest accrues under the facility based on EURIBOR plus a margin of 2.75%. The maturity date for this annual facility has been extended to August 31, 2020.

(3) Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

On October 20, 2016, the Company's subsidiary, SunOpta Foods Inc. ("SunOpta Foods"), issued $231.0 million of 9.5% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 (the "Notes"). As at June 27, 2020, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes was $223.5 million, reflecting the redemption of $7.5 million principal amount by SunOpta Foods in October 2017. Debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction against the principal amount of the Notes and are being amortized over the six-year term of the Notes. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 at a rate of 9.5% per annum. The Notes will mature on October 9, 2022. Giving effect to the amortization of debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the Notes is approximately 10.4% per annum.

At any time after October 9, 2019, SunOpta Foods may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 104.750% from October 9, 2019 through October 8, 2020, 102.375% from October 9, 2020 through October 8, 2021 and at par thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of redemption. Certain additional redemption rights were applicable prior to October 9, 2019. In the event of a change of control, SunOpta Foods will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at 101.000% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The Notes are secured by second-priority liens on substantially all of the assets that secure the credit facilities provided under the Global Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Notes are senior secured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with SunOpta Foods' existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt. The Notes are effectively subordinated to debt under the Global Credit Facility and any future indebtedness secured on a first-priority basis. The Notes are initially guaranteed on a senior secured second-priority basis by the Company and each of its subsidiaries (other than SunOpta Foods) that guarantees indebtedness under the Global Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions.

The Notes are subject to covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability to (i) incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends and make certain types of investments and other restricted payments; (iii) create liens; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; (v) sell assets; and (vi) create restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans or advances or transfer assets to the Company, SunOpta Foods or any guarantor of the Notes. The foregoing covenants are subject to certain threshold amounts and exceptions as set forth in the indenture governing the Notes. In addition, the indenture provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include nonpayment, breach of covenants in the indenture, certain payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, a failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on, if any, all the Notes to be due and payable.

As at June 27, 2020, the related finance leases had not commenced, and no amount of right-of-use assets, or lease liabilities, were recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

8. Preferred Stock

Series A Preferred Stock

On October 7, 2016, the Company and SunOpta Foods entered into a subscription agreement (the "Series A Subscription Agreement") with Oaktree Organics, L.P. and Oaktree Huntington Investment Fund II, L.P. (collectively, "Oaktree"). Pursuant to the Series A Subscription Agreement, SunOpta Foods issued an aggregate of 85,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Oaktree for consideration in the amount of $85.0 million. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $6.0 million, which reduced the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock is being accreted through charges to accumulated deficit over the period preceding October 7, 2021. For the quarter and two quarters ended June 27, 2020, these accretion charges amounted to $0.3 million (June 29, 2019 - $0.3 million) and $0.7 million (June 29, 2019 - $0.6 million), respectively.

In connection with the Series A Subscription Agreement, the Company agreed to, among other things (i) ensure SunOpta Foods has sufficient funds to pay its obligations under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) grant each holder of Series A Preferred Stock the right to exchange the Series A Preferred Stock for shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Shares"). The Series A Preferred Stock is non-participating with the Common Shares in dividends and undistributed earnings of the Company.

The Series A Preferred Stock had an initial stated value and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, as adjusted for non-cash dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). Cumulative preferred dividends accrue daily on the Series A Preferred Stock at an annualized rate of 8.0% of the Series A Liquidation Preference prior to October 5, 2025, and 12.5% of the liquidation preference thereafter (subject to an increase of 1.0% per quarter, up to a maximum rate of 5.0% per quarter on the occurrence of certain events of non-compliance). Prior to October 5, 2025, SunOpta Foods may pay dividends in cash or elect, in lieu of paying cash, to add the amount that would have been paid to the Series A Liquidation Preference. After October 5, 2025, the failure to pay dividends in cash will be an event of non-compliance. For quarterly periods prior to the first quarter of 2020, dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock were paid in cash by SunOpta Foods. For the first quarter of 2020, SunOpta Foods elected to declare dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock to be paid in kind and, as a result, the aggregate Series A Liquidation Preference increased by $1.7 million to $86.7 million. For the second quarter of 2020, the Company accrued unpaid dividends of $1.7 million on the Series A Preferred Stock, which were recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as at June 27, 2020.

At any time, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may exchange their shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into the number of Common Shares equal to, per share of Series A Preferred Stock, the quotient of the Series A Liquidation Preference divided by the Series A exchange price (such price, the "Series A Exchange Price" and such quotients, the "Series A Exchange Rate"). The Series A Exchange Price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, including a weighted-average adjustment for issuances of Common Shares below the Series A Exchange Price, provided that the Series A Exchange Price may not be lower than $7.00 (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). On April 24, 2020, in connection with the issuance of Series B-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series B Subscription Agreement (see below), the Series A Exchange Price was reduced from $7.50 to $7.00. As at June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the aggregate shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding were exchangeable into 12,385,714 and 11,333,333 Common Shares, respectively.

SunOpta Foods may cause the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to exchange all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a number of Common Shares equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding multiplied by the Series A Exchange Rate if (i) fewer than 10% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on October 7, 2016 remain outstanding, or (ii) on or after October 7, 2019, the average volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares during the then preceding 20 trading day period is greater than 200% of the Series A Exchange Price then in effect. At any time on or after October 7, 2021, SunOpta Foods may redeem all of the Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share equal to the value of the Series A Liquidation Preference at such time, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

In connection with the Series A Subscription Agreement, the Company issued 11,333,333 Special Shares, Series 1 to Oaktree, which entitles Oaktree to one vote per Special Share, Series 1 on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Shares, together as a single class, subject to certain exceptions. Additional Special Shares, Series 1 will be issued, or existing Special Shares, Series 1 will be redeemed, as necessary to ensure that the aggregate number of Special Shares, Series 1 outstanding is equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding from time to time multiplied by the Series A Exchange Rate in effect at such time. As at June 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, 12,385,714 and 11,333,333 Special Shares, Series 1 were issued and outstanding.

The Special Shares, Series 1 are not transferable, and the voting rights associated with the Special Shares, Series 1 will terminate upon the transfer of the Series A Preferred Stock to a third party, other than a controlled affiliate of Oaktree. Oaktree is entitled to designate up to two nominees for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and have the right to designate one individual to attend meetings of the Board as a non-voting observer, subject to Oaktree maintaining certain levels of beneficial ownership of Common Shares on an as-exchanged basis. For so long as Oaktree beneficially owns or controls at least 50% of the Series A Preferred Stock issued on October 7, 2016, including any corresponding Common Shares into which such Series A Preferred Stock are exchanged, Oaktree will be entitled to (i) participation rights with respect to future equity offerings of the Company, and (ii) governance rights, including the right to approve certain actions proposed to be taken by the Company and its subsidiaries.

Series B Preferred Stock

On April 15, 2020, the Company and SunOpta Foods entered into a subscription agreement (the "Series B Subscription Agreement") with Oaktree and Engaged Capital, LLC, Engaged Capital Flagship Master Fund, LP and Engaged Capital Co-Invest IV-A, LP (collectively, "Engaged"), which contemplated the issuance by SunOpta Foods of shares of exchangeable, voting Series B-1 Preferred Stock and exchangeable, voting Series B-2 Preferred Stock (together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the "Series B Preferred Stock"). The Series B Preferred Stock ranks on par with the Series A Preferred Stock.

On April 24, 2020, pursuant to the Series B Subscription Agreement, SunOpta Foods issued 15,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock to each of Oaktree and Engaged for aggregate consideration of $30.0 million and 30,000 shares total. In connection with the issuance of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $3.2 million, which reduced the carrying value of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock. The carrying value of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock is being accreted through charges to accumulated deficit over the period preceding April 24, 2025. For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, this accretion charge amounted to $0.1 million

The Series B-1 Preferred Stock has an initial stated value and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, as adjusted for non-cash dividends declared on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the "Series B-1 Liquidation Preference"). Cumulative preferred dividends accrue daily on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock at an annualized rate of 8.0% of the Series B-1 Liquidation Preference prior to September 30, 2029, and 10.0% of the liquidation preference thereafter (subject to an increase of 1.0% per quarter, up to a maximum rate of 5.0% per quarter on the occurrence of certain events of non-compliance). Prior to September 30, 2029, SunOpta Foods may pay dividends in cash or elect, in lieu of paying cash, to add the amount that would have been paid to the Series B-1 Liquidation Preference. The failure to pay dividends in cash for any quarter ending after September 30, 2029 will be an event of non-compliance. For the second quarter of 2020, the Company accrued unpaid dividends of $0.4 million on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, which were recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as at June 27, 2020.

SunOpta Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the quarters and two quarters ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 (Unaudited) (All tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

At any time, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock may be exchanged, in whole or in part, into the number of Common Shares equal to, per share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the quotient of the Series B Liquidation Preference divided by $2.50 (such price, the "Series B-1 Exchange Price" and such quotient, the "Series B-1 Exchange Rate"). As at June 27, 2020, the aggregate shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock outstanding were exchangeable into 12,000,000 Common Shares. The Series B-1 Exchange Price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, including a weighted-average adjustment for issuances of Common Shares below the Series B-1 Exchange Price, provided that the Series B-1 Exchange Price may not be lower than $2.00 (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances).

SunOpta Foods may cause the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock to exchange all of their shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock into a number of Common Shares equal to the number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock outstanding multiplied by the Series B-1 Exchange Rate if (i) fewer than 10% of the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock issued on April 24, 2020 remain outstanding, or (ii) on or after April 24, 2023, the average volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares during the then preceding 20 trading day period is greater than 200% of the Series B-1 Exchange Price then in effect.

At any time, if a holder of Series B Preferred Stock elects to exchange, or SunOpta Foods causes an exchange of Series B Preferred Stock, the number of Common Shares delivered to each applicable holder may not cause such holder's beneficial ownership to exceed 19.99% of the Common Shares that would be outstanding immediately following such exchange (the "Series B Exchange Cap").

At any time on or after April 24, 2025, SunOpta Foods may redeem all of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock for an amount per share equal to the value of the Series B-1 Liquidation Preference at such time, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

Oaktree and Engaged will be entitled to vote the Series B Preferred Stock with the Common Shares on an as-exchanged basis, subject to a permanent 19.99% voting cap. As a result of the voting cap, each of Oaktree and Engaged will only be able to vote its Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that, when taken together with any other voting securities each investor controls, such votes do not exceed 19.99% of the votes eligible to be cast by all security holders of the Company. On April 24, 2020, the Company designated Special Shares, Series 2 to serve as the mechanism for attaching exchanged voting to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Special Shares, Series 2 entitle the holder thereof to one vote per Special Share, Series 2 on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Shares, voting together as a single class, subject to certain exceptions. The Special Shares, Series 2 are not transferrable and the voting rights associated with the Special Shares, Series 2 will terminate upon the transfer of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to a third party, other than an affiliate of Oaktree or Engaged, as applicable. On April 24, 2020, 6,000,000 Special Shares, Series 2 were issued to Engaged, equal to the number of Common Shares issuable to Engaged on the exchange of all of the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock held by it, and no Special Shares, Series 2 were issued to Oaktree, as Oaktree was subject to the Series B Exchange Cap.

Under the terms of the Series B Subscription Agreement, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to require each of Oaktree and Engaged to purchase its proportionate share of up to 15,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration of up to $30.0 million, and up to 30,000 shares total, by giving notice to Oaktree and Engaged on or before July 15, 2020. The exchange price for the Series B-2 Preferred Stock would initially have been that amount which was equal to a 30% premium to the 15-day volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares determined as at the date of notice, provided that such exchange price could not be less than $2.00 or greater than $3.50 per underlying Common Share. The Company elected not to exercise this option, and no shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock have been issued.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

Short-Term Incentive Plan

On April 12, 2020, the Company issued 773,875 Common Shares, net of 368,938 Common Shares withheld for taxes, in connection with the vesting of outstanding performance share units ("PSUs") previously granted to certain employees under the Company's 2019 Short-Term Incentive Plan.

On April 22, 2020, the Company granted a total of 1,827,435 PSUs to certain employees of the Company under its 2020 Short-Term Incentive Plan. The vesting of these PSUs is subject to the Company achieving a predetermined measure of adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2020 and subject to each employee's continued employment with the Company through April 22, 2021 (the requisite service period). The weighted-average grant-date fair value of each of these PSUs was estimated to be $2.52 based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the date of grant. Each reporting period, the number of PSUs that are expected to vest is redetermined and the aggregate grant-date fair value of the redetermined number of PSUs is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period less amounts previously recognized. For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the Company recognized compensation expense of $0.8 million related to the number of these PSUs expected to vest, and the remaining compensation cost related to these PSUs not yet recognized as an expense was determined to be $3.8 million as at June 27, 2020.

SunOpta Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the quarters and two quarters ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 (Unaudited) (All tabular amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2020, on June 30, 2020, the Company granted an additional total of 876,181 PSUs to certain other employees of the Company under the 2020 Short-Term Incentive Plan. The vesting date and conditions of these PSUs are on the same basis as the PSUs above granted on April 22, 2020. The aggregate grant-date fair value of these PSUs was estimated to be $4.1 million based on a closing price of $4.70 for the Common Shares on the date of grant. The compensation cost related to these PSUs will be recognized over the requisite service period through April 22, 2021, based on the number of PSUs that are expected to vest.

(1) For the quarter and two quarters ended June 27, 2020, stock options and restricted stock units to purchase or receive 753,645 and 876,593 Common Shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect of reducing the loss per share, and for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, stock options and restricted stock units to purchase or receive 187,516 Common Shares were likewise excluded. In addition, for the quarter and two quarters ended June 27, 2020, stock options to purchase 2,629,179 (June 29, 2019 - 3,176,284) and 3,079,418 (June 29, 2019 - 3,176,284) Common Shares, respectively, were anti-dilutive because the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price.

(2) For the quarter and two quarters ended June 27, 2020, it was more dilutive to assume the Series B Preferred Stock was not converted into Common Shares and, therefore, the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation was not adjusted to add back the dividends and accretion on the Series B Preferred Stock and the denominator was not adjusted to include 12,000,000 Common Shares issuable on an if-converted basis as at June 27, 2020.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Product Recall

On November 20, 2017, Treehouse Foods, Inc., several of its related entities, and its insurer filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, titled TreeHouse Foods, Inc. et al. ("TreeHouse") v. SunOpta Grains and Food, Inc. The Company was served with the Summons and Complaint on January 24, 2018. After the Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint on April 23, 2018, and a second Amended Complaint on October 12, 2018. The plaintiffs alleged economic damages resulting from the Company's 2016 voluntary recall of certain roasted sunflower kernel products due to the potential for listeria monocytogenes contamination. The plaintiffs brought claims for breach of contract, express and implied warranties and product guarantees, negligence, strict liability, negligent misrepresentation, and indemnity seeking $16.2 million in damages. There are no allegations of personal injury. On March 29, 2019, the court dismissed the plaintiffs' claims for negligence, strict liability, negligent misrepresentation, and common law indemnity. On May 31, 2020, the court granted summary judgment to SunOpta on TreeHouse's claims for breach of contract and breach of product guarantees, but denied summary judgment on TreeHouse's claims for breach of express and implied warranties. On the remaining claims, the court limited TreeHouse's damages to the purchase price of the product SunOpta sold to TreeHouse. The Company is vigorously defending itself against the remaining contract and warranty-based claims. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this claim, nor can it estimate the amount of loss, or range of loss, if any, that may result from this claim.

Other Claims

In addition, various claims and potential claims arising in the normal course of business are pending against the Company. It is the opinion of management that these claims or potential claims are without merit and the amount of potential liability, if any, to the Company is not determinable. Management believes the final determination of these claims or potential claims will not materially affect the financial position or results of the Company.

14. Segmented Information

Effective the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company implemented changes to its organization and leadership structure to align with the operational and strategic objectives established by the Company's CEO. As a result, the Company established two new segments - a Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment and a Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment - based on the synergistic nature of the underlying principal product ingredients. In addition, the Company realigned the Global Ingredients segment to combine its international organic ingredients operations and its co-manufactured premium juice program, based on shared raw material sourcing. Each segment has dedicated management, sales, marketing, plant operations, product development and business support teams, with full accountability to the CEO.

With these changes, the composition of the Company's three operating segments is as follows:

- Global Ingredients includes the sourcing and sale of organic and non-GMO ingredients, including fruits, vegetables, oils, fats, coffee, nuts, dried fruits, sugars, liquid sweeteners, seeds, grains, rice and pulses, and the processing of value-added ingredients including cocoa liquor, butter and powder, sunflower kernel, oil and cakes, sesame seeds, and avocado oil. In addition, it includes third-party co-manufacturing arrangements to produce consumer-packaged premium juice products (including private label orange juices, lemonades, and functional waters), utilizing internally-sourced raw materials. It also included the operations of the soy and corn business that was sold in 2019.

- Plant-Based Foods and Beverages includes plant-based beverages and liquid and dry ingredients (utilizing almond, soy, coconut, oat, hemp, and other bases), as well as broths, teas and nutritional beverages. In addition, it includes packaged dry- and oil-roasted inshell sunflower and sunflower kernels, as well as corn-, soy- and legume-based roasted snacks, and the processing and sale of raw sunflower inshell and kernel for food and feed applications.

- Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages includes individually quick frozen ("IQF") fruit for retail (including strawberries, blueberries, mango, pineapple, blends, and other berries), IQF and bulk frozen fruit for foodservice (including purées, fruit cups and smoothies), and custom fruit preparations for industrial use. In addition, it includes fruit snacks, including bars, twists, ropes and bite-sized varieties.

Corporate Services provides a variety of management, financial, information technology, treasury and administration services to each of the Company's operating segments.

When reviewing the operating results of the Company's operating segments, management uses segment revenues from external customers and segment operating income/loss to assess performance and allocate resources. Segment operating income/loss excludes other income/expense items. In addition, interest expense and income taxes are not allocated to the operating segments.

Overview

We are a leading global company focused on the manufacture of plant-based and fruit-based foods and beverage products for sale to retail, foodservice and branded food customers. In addition, our global ingredient sourcing and production platform makes us one of the leading suppliers of organic and non-GMO ingredients to the food industry.

Effective the fourth quarter of 2019, we changed our segment reporting to reflect changes to our operating structure. As a result, we established two new segments - a Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment and a Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment - based on the synergistic nature of the underlying principal product ingredients. In addition, we realigned the Global Ingredients segment to combine our international organic ingredients operations and our co-manufactured premium juice program, based on shared raw material sourcing. With these changes, the following is a summary of the principal activities and products that comprise each of our three operating segments:

- Global Ingredients - We sell organic and non-GMO ingredients sourced from over 60 origins around the world. Our portfolio includes fruits, vegetables, oils, fats, coffee, nuts, dried fruits, sugars, liquid sweeteners, seeds, grains, rice and pulses. In addition, utilizing our own production facilities, we process value-added ingredients including cocoa liquor, butter and powder, sunflower kernel, oil and cakes, sesame seeds, and avocado oil. We also engage with third-party co-manufacturers to produce consumer-packaged premium juice products (including private label orange juices, lemonades, and functional waters), utilizing internally-sourced raw materials.

SUNOPTA INC. | 30 | June 27, 2020 10-Q

- Plant-Based Foods and Beverages - We offer a full line of plant-based beverages and liquid and dry ingredients (utilizing almond, soy, coconut, oat, hemp, and other bases), as well as broths, teas and nutritional beverages. In addition, we package dry- and oil-roasted inshell sunflower and sunflower kernels, as well as corn-, soy- and legume-based roasted snacks, and we process and sell raw sunflower inshell and kernel for food and feed applications.

- Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages - We offer individually quick frozen ("IQF") fruit for retail (including strawberries, blueberries, mango, pineapple, blends, and other berries), IQF and bulk frozen fruit for foodservice (including purées, fruit cups and smoothies), and custom fruit preparations for industrial use. In addition, we offer fruit snacks, including bars, twists, ropes and bite-sized varieties.

The segment information presented in this MD&A for the quarter and two quarters ended June 29, 2019 has been restated to conform with the preceding changes to our operating structure.

Update on Impact of COVID-19

We continue to actively address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global operations. We began to experience impacts to our business and results late in the first quarter of 2020, and these impacts continued through the second quarter of 2020. As a result, we saw significant shifts in the mix of our business, resulting in lower demand for our food and beverage products from the foodservice channel due to the full or partial closure of many foodservice outlets, and an increase in demand from retail customers as consumers increased their at-home food and beverage consumption. We saw a return towards normalized levels towards the end of the second quarter of 2020, as more foodservice outlets reopened and consumers adapted to the evolving environment; however, we cannot be certain that this trend will continue due to uncertain scope and duration of the pandemic.

To date, we have not experienced any material interruptions in our plant operations due to employee absences, or to our supply chains. Our facilities have largely been exempt from government closure orders where applicable. In the second quarter of 2020, we incurred approximately $1.4 million of incremental costs related to COVID-19, in order to provide wage premiums and personal protective equipment for our plant employees, and to implement additional cleaning and disinfecting protocols at our facilities.

During the first two quarters of 2020, we experienced increased volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, including a more than 20% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in March 2020. In April 2020, we entered into a combination of foreign currency put and call option contracts (a zero-cost collar) to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in the Mexican peso on fruit inventory purchases and operating costs in Mexico through the remainder of 2020.

To date, COVID-19 has not had a significant impact on our liquidity, cash flows or capital resources.

Overall, based on information available to us as of the date of this report, we believe that we will continue to be able to deliver our products to our customers on a timely basis, while meeting our financial obligations. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or its ultimate impact on the global economy and our business.

Acquisition of Sanmark B.V.

On April 1, 2019, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Sanmark B.V. ("Sanmark") for $3.3 million, net of cash acquired, which was financed through existing credit facilities. Sanmark is a sourcing and trading business focused on organic oils for the food, pharmacy, and cosmetic industries, generating most of its sales in the European and Asia-Pacific markets. The operations of Sanmark have been integrated into our organic ingredients operations based in the Netherlands, and the results of operations of Sanmark have been included in Global Ingredients since the date of acquisition.

Sale of Soy and Corn Business

On February 22, 2019, our subsidiary, SunOpta Grains and Foods Inc., completed the sale of our specialty and organic soy and corn business to Pipeline Foods, LLC for $66.5 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of $45.4 million recognized in the first two quarters of 2019. The soy and corn business engaged in seed and grain conditioning and corn milling and formed part of Global Ingredients. For the period ended February 22, 2019, the soy and corn business generated revenues and gross profit of $10.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and reported an operating loss of $0.2 million (excluding management fees charged by Corporate Services). The net proceeds from this transaction were initially used to repay borrowings and increase availability under our Global Credit Facility (as described below under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

(1) When assessing the financial performance of our operating segments, we use an internal measure of operating income/loss that excludes other income/expense items and goodwill impairments determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is the basis on which management, including the CEO, assesses the underlying performance of our operating segments.

We believe that disclosing this non-GAAP measure assists investors in comparing financial performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are not indicative of our operating performance. However, the non-GAAP measure of operating income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of segment operating income/loss to earnings/loss before the following, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

We believe that investors' understanding of our financial performance is enhanced by disclosing the specific items that we exclude from segment operating income/loss. However, any measure of operating income/loss excluding any or all of these items is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for operating income/loss prepared under U.S. GAAP. These items are presented solely to allow investors to more fully understand how we assess financial performance.

(2) When assessing our financial performance, we use an internal measure of earnings attributable to common shareholders determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP that excludes specific items recognized in other income/expense, impairment losses on goodwill and long-lived assets, and other unusual items that are identified and evaluated on an individual basis, which due to their nature or size, we would not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. We believe that the identification of these excluded items enhances the analysis of our financial performance of our business when comparing those operating results between periods, as we do not consider these items to be reflective of normal business operations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted earnings/loss from net earnings/loss, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. In addition, in recognition of the sale of the soy and corn business (as described above under the heading "Sale of Soy and Corn Business"), we have prepared this table in a columnar format to present the effect of the disposal of this business on our consolidated results for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. We believe this presentation assists investors in assessing the results of the operations we have disposed of and the effect of those operations on our financial performance.

(b) Reflects costs related to the expansion of our plant-based extraction capabilities at our Alexandria, Minnesota, facility, which were recorded in cost of goods sold.

(c) Other income includes the reversal of previously accrued costs related to the withdrawal of certain consumer-packaged products. These costs were recognized in other expense in 2016.

(d) Reflects the tax effect of the preceding adjustments to earnings and reflects an overall estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 30% for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 (June 29, 2019 - 27%) on adjusted earnings/loss before tax.

(e) Reflects employee retention and relocation costs of $0.8 million, and professional fees of $0.2 million recorded in SG&A expenses; and employee termination costs of $0.7 million recorded in other expense.

(f) Reflects costs related to the expansion of our Allentown, Pennsylvania, plant-based beverage facility, which were recorded in cost of goods sold.

(g) Reflects legal fees incurred in connection with the sale of the soy and corn business, which were recorded in other expense.

(h) Reflects costs to transition premium juice production activities to new contract manufacturers, which were recorded in cost of goods sold.

(i) Other includes a gain related to a project cancellation, partially offset by losses on the disposal of assets, and business development costs, which were recorded in other income/expense.

We believe that investors' understanding of our financial performance is enhanced by disclosing the specific items that we exclude to compute adjusted earnings/loss. However, adjusted earnings/loss is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for earnings prepared under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted earnings/loss is presented solely to allow investors to more fully understand how we assess our financial performance.

(3) We use a measure of adjusted EBITDA when assessing the performance of our operations, which we believe is useful to investors' understanding of our operating profitability because it excludes non-operating expenses, such as interest and income taxes, and non-cash expenses, such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairment charges, as well as other unusual items that affect the comparability of operating performance. We also use this measure to review and assess our progress under the Value Creation Plan and to assess operating performance in connection with our employee incentive programs. In addition, we are subject to certain restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness based on availability and metrics that include in their calculation a measure of EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as segment operating income/loss plus depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation, and excluding other unusual items as identified in the determination of adjusted earnings (refer above to footnote (2)). The following table presents a reconciliation of segment operating income/loss and adjusted EBITDA from net earnings/loss, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. In addition, as described above under footnote (2), we have prepared this table in a columnar format to present the effect of the disposal of the soy and corn business on our consolidated results for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. We believe this presentation assists investors in assessing the results of the operations we have disposed of and the effect of those operations on our financial performance.

(d) Reflects costs to transition premium juice production activities to new contract manufacturers, which were recorded in cost of goods sold.

Although we use adjusted EBITDA as a measure to assess the performance of our business and for the other purposes set forth above, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results of operations as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

- adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness;

- adjusted EBITDA does not include the recovery/payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of our operations;

- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

- adjusted EBITDA does not include non-cash stock-based compensation, which is an important component of our total compensation program for employees and directors.

Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing adjusted EBITDA in isolation, and specifically by using other U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP measures, such as revenues, gross profit, segment operating income, earnings and adjusted earnings to measure our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to our results of operations or cash flows from operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

(4) In order to evaluate our results of operations, we use certain non-GAAP measures that we believe enhance an investor's ability to derive meaningful period-over-period comparisons and trends from our results of operations. In particular, we evaluate our revenues on a basis that excludes the effects of fluctuations in commodity pricing and foreign exchange rates. In addition, we exclude specific items from our reported results that due to their nature or size, we do not expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. These items are identified above under footnote (2), and in the discussion of our results of operations below. These non-GAAP measures are presented solely to allow investors to more fully assess our results of operations and should not be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for, an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

SUNOPTA INC. | 36 | June 27, 2020 10-Q

Revenues for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 increased by 6.1% to $310.9 million from $293.0 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. Excluding the impact on revenues of changes in commodity-related pricing (an increase in revenues of $1.8 million), partially offset by changes in foreign exchange rates (a decrease in revenues of $0.8 million), revenues increased by 5.8% in the second quarter of 2020, compared with the second quarter of 2019. Revenues increased on an adjusted basis across all segments of the business, reflecting the expansion of plant-based beverage and broth offerings for retail customers, growth in plant-based ingredient extraction volumes, higher volumes of organic ingredients and premium juice products, and increased retail volumes and sales pricing for frozen fruit, partially offset by lower volumes of plant-based beverage, frozen fruit and fruit ingredient products sold into the foodservice channel, and lower sales of fruit snacks related to the timing of customer promotions.

Gross profit increased $12.4 million, or 45.2%, to $39.7 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared with $27.3 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 was 12.8% compared to 9.3% for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, an increase of 350 basis points. Gross profit and gross profit percentage increased across all segments of the business, reflecting higher sales and production volumes of plant-based beverages, broths and plant-based ingredients, and improved plant utilization and productivity-driven cost savings in the Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment, together with increased sales pricing and volumes, and a favorable mix of higher-margin retail sales of frozen fruit, and lower processing costs for frozen fruit within the Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment, and increased pricing spreads and productivity improvements for certain organic ingredients and premium juice products in the Global Ingredients segment, partially offset by lower production and plant utilization for fruit ingredients and fruit snacks in the Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment.

For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, we realized total segment operating income of $8.8 million, compared with a total segment operating loss of $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. The $11.4 million increase in total segment operating income reflected higher gross profit, as described above, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in SG&A expenses mainly due to higher employee-related variable compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by the benefit from headcount reductions and other cost savings measures taken in 2019, together with lower travel and marketing costs, and stock-based compensation expense.

Further details on revenue, gross profit and segment operating income/loss variances are provided below under "Segmented Operations Information."

Other income for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, of $0.3 million, mainly reflected the reversal of costs that remained accrued related to the withdrawal of certain consumer-packaged products in 2016. Other expense for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, of $0.4 million, reflected employee termination costs related to the Value Creation Plan and costs associated with the sale of the soy and corn business, offset by a gain related to a project cancellation.

Net interest expense decreased by $0.4 million to $7.9 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared with $8.3 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. Interest expense included the amortization of debt issuance costs of $1.1 million and $0.7 million in the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The period-over-period decrease in net interest expense reflected lower average borrowings and weighted-average interest rates under our line of credit facilities.

We recognized a provision of income tax of $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared with a recovery of income taxes of $2.3 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019.

On a consolidated basis, we realized a loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.6 million (diluted loss per share of $0.02) for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared with a loss attributable to common shareholders of $11.1 million (diluted loss per share of $0.13) for the quarter ended June 29, 2019.

For the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the adjusted loss was $1.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted loss of $9.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA of $20.5 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 more than doubled adjusted EBITDA of $10.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See footnotes (2) and (3) to the table above for a reconciliation of adjusted earnings/loss and adjusted EBITDA from net earnings/loss, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

Global Ingredients contributed $126.5 million in revenues for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to $120.9 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, an increase of $5.7 million, or 4.7%. Excluding the impact on revenues of commodity-related pricing and foreign exchange rate movements (a decrease in revenues of $2.7 million), Global Ingredients revenues increased approximately 6.9%. The table below explains the increase in reported revenues:

Global Ingredients Revenue Changes |
Revenues for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $120,892
| Increased sales volumes of organic ingredients including cocoa (reflecting increased production volumes of cocoa ingredients), oils (including increased production volumes of sunflower oil), and fruit (due to growth in new business), partially offset by lower volumes of coffee (due to COVID-19-related impacts on foodservice customers) and animal feed (due to the exit from underperforming bulk grain categories) | 4,480
| Higher sales volumes and pricing for premium juice products | 3,915
| Decreased commodity pricing for organic ingredients | (1,921)
| Unfavorable foreign exchange impact on euro-denominated sales due to a stronger U.S. dollar period-over-period | (823)
Revenues for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $126,543

Gross profit in Global Ingredients increased by $4.4 million to $16.4 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to $12.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, and the gross profit percentage increased by 3.0% to 13.0%. The increase in gross profit percentage reflected increased pricing spreads, higher-margin product mix within certain categories, and manufacturing efficiencies for certain organic ingredients, together with a favorable cocoa commodity hedging result, and higher sales pricing and lower bottling costs for premium juice products. The table below explains the increase in gross profit:

Global Ingredients Gross Profit Changes |
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $12,077
| Increased volumes of cocoa, oils and fruit, higher pricing spreads on fruit and nuts, and favorable mix of higher-margin specialty versus bulk oil and high-protein versus bulk animal feed sales, together with increased production volumes and manufacturing efficiencies in our cocoa and sunflower operations, and cocoa commodity hedging gains ($1.8 million), partially offset by lower volumes and pricing for coffee and lower-margin sales to reduce positions in older fruit inventories | 2,905
| Higher sales volumes and pricing, and lower bottling costs for premium juice products | 1,451
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $16,433

Operating income in Global Ingredients increased by $4.3 million, or 119.2%, to $8.0 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. The table below explains the increase in operating income:

SUNOPTA INC. | 38 | June 27, 2020 10-Q

| Increase in gross profit, as explained above | 4,356
| Decrease in corporate cost allocations | 311
| Lower spending associated with travel and marketing activities, together with a favorable foreign exchange impact on euro-denominated SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher employee-related variable compensation | 205
| Decrease in mark-to-market gains related to forward currency contracts ($0.4 million), together with net foreign exchange losses on the revaluation of U.S. dollar-denominated receivable and payable balances | (501)
Operating income for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $8,038

Looking forward, we believe Global Ingredients is positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the growing organic and non-GMO food categories. We intend to invest in ingredient categories where we have strong positions, including cocoa, oil and coffee, while continuing to rationalize certain underperforming categories, such as bulk animal feed. During the second half of 2020, we could potentially experience increased demand for organic ingredients from food manufacturers in North America, as those manufacturers replenish retail inventories that were depleted due to the consumer response to COVID-19, which may be offset by weaker market conditions expected for organic ingredients in Europe. In addition, we expect consumer demand for premium juice products to remain strong in the second half of 2020; however, coffee volumes are expected to remain soft, due to government restrictions on the reopening of many foodservice outlets. The statements in this paragraph are forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements" above. Several factors could adversely impact our ability to meet these forward-looking expectations, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and availability of raw materials, potential competitive pressures, and general economic and political conditions globally and in the markets in which we do business, along with the other factors described above under "Forward-Looking Statements."

Excluding the impact on revenues of changes in sunflower commodity-related pricing (an increase in revenues of $1.9 million), Plant-Based Foods and Beverages revenues increased approximately 9.6%. The table below explains the increase in reported revenues:

Plant-Based Foods and Beverages Revenue Changes |
Revenues for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $81,940
| Higher retail sales volumes of plant-based beverages and everyday broth offerings, including output from additional aseptic processing capacity that came on-line in the third quarter of 2019, as well as increased demand for plant-based ingredients, partially offset by reduced sales volumes of plant-based beverage products to foodservice customers | 7,864
| Increased commodity pricing for sunflower | 1,941
| Lower volumes of sunflower inshell and kernel, mostly offset by higher volumes of birdfeed and roasted snacks | (40)
Revenues for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $91,705

Gross profit in Plant-Based Foods and Beverages increased by $4.6 million to $16.7 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to $12.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, and the gross profit percentage increased by 3.4% to 18.2%. The increase in the gross profit percentage reflected strong production volumes, improved plant utilization and productivity-driven cost savings within our plant-based beverage and ingredient extraction operations, and improved margin performance within our sunflower and roasting operations. The table below explains the increase in gross profit:

Plant-Based Foods and Beverages Gross Profit Changes |
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $12,114
| Higher sales volumes, plant utilization and productivity improvements within our plant-based beverage and ingredient extraction operations, partially offset by wage premiums and higher cleaning costs attributable to COVID-19 (approximately $0.5 million) | 4,529
| Higher sales volumes of birdfeed and roasted snacks, and increased plant utilization within our sunflower and roasting operations, partially offset by COVID-19-related costs (approximately $0.1 million) | 88
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $16,731

Operating income in Plant-Based Foods and Beverages increased by $6.0 million to $10.5 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to $4.5 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. The table below explains the increase in operating income:

Plant-Based Foods and Beverages Operating Income Changes |
Operating income for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $4,496
| Increase in gross profit, as explained above | 4,617
| Lower employee compensation costs due to headcount reductions, together with credit recoveries and reduced travel costs, partially offset by higher product development spending | 697
| Decrease in corporate cost allocations | 674
Operating income for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $10,484

Looking forward we believe the markets targeted by our Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment have long-term growth potential; however, COVID-19 may cause significant demand volatility within our plant-based beverage operations for the duration of the pandemic. In the second quarter of 2020, we experienced a significant decline in orders from many foodservice customers, offset by strong retail demand to meet higher at-home consumption. We could potentially experience a return toward normalized levels in the second half of 2020, as more foodservice outlets re-open and consumers adapt to the evolving environment; however, we cannot be certain of this trend due to uncertain scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the impacts of COVID-19, we expect to see significant year-over-year growth in revenues and gross profit from our plant-based beverage and ingredient operations in 2020, including the benefit from a full-year output from two new aseptic processing lines that were commissioned at our Allentown, Pennsylvania, plant-based beverage facility in the third quarter of 2019. In addition, we believe we are on-track to execute several major capital projects in 2020 to further increase our aseptic processing capacity and expand our ingredient extraction capabilities. The statements in this paragraph are forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements" above. Several factors could adversely impact our ability to meet these forward-looking expectations, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, customer actions, consumer behaviours, competitive pressures, unexpected delays in executing on our capital projects, and general economic and political conditions in North America, along with the other factors described above under "Forward-Looking Statements."

Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages contributed $92.7 million in revenues for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to $90.2 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, an increase of $2.5 million, or 2.8%. Excluding the impact on revenues of changes in raw fruit commodity-related pricing (an increase in revenues of $1.8 million), Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages revenues increased approximately 0.8%. The table below explains the increase in reported revenues:

Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages Revenue Changes |
Revenues for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $90,172
| Increased volumes and sales pricing for frozen fruit into the retail channel, partially offset by lower demand for frozen fruit and fruit preparations from foodservice customers | 2,495
| Increase in commodity pricing for raw fruit | 1,808
| Lower sales volumes of fruit snack products due to the timing of customer promotions | (1,779)
Revenues for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $92,696

Gross profit in Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages more than doubled to $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to $3.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, and the gross profit percentage increased by 3.5% to 7.0%. The increase in the gross profit percentage reflected increased sales pricing and a favorable mix of higher-margin retail sales of frozen fruit. In addition, automation and productivity initiatives in our frozen fruit manufacturing facilities have generated higher yields and throughput, while allowing these facilities to operate with fewer seasonal workers. These factors were partially offset by lower production volumes and plant utilization within our fruit ingredient and fruit snacks operations. The table below explains the increase in gross profit:

Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages Gross Profit Changes |
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $3,136
| Impact of higher sales volumes and pricing for frozen fruit, including a favorable mix of higher-margin retail versus foodservice sales, together with lower processing costs for frozen fruit, partially offset by lower sales volumes and plant utilization for fruit ingredients, together with wage premiums and higher cleaning costs attributable to COVID-19 (approximately $0.6 million) | 4,392
| Lower sales volumes for fruit snacks, together with lower production volumes, plant utilization and COVID-19-related costs (approximately $0.1 million) | (1,000)
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $6,528

Operating loss in Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages decreased by $4.0 million to $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2019. The table below explains the decrease in operating loss:

Operating loss for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $(5,960)
| Increase in gross profit, as explained above | 3,392
| Decrease in corporate cost allocations | 737
| Impact of reserves for credit losses due to weaker economic conditions and increased employee compensation related to new management hires, partially offset by a favorable foreign exchange impact on Mexican peso-denominated SG&A expenses, together with realized gains from hedging activities | (185)
Operating loss for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $(2,016)

Looking forward we expect sequential margin improvement in the Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment in the second half of 2020, as we realize the full effect of pricing actions on frozen fruit taken in 2019, together with expected labor cost savings in 2020 from new plant automation initiatives and improved cost of processing the 2020 strawberry crop compared to 2019. We expect to see continued strong demand for frozen fruit from retail customers in the second half of 2020; however, in the second quarter of 2020, we began to experience a shortfall in frozen strawberry supply from growers in California, due to more of the crop being directed to meet fresh market demand, which is putting upward pressure on strawberry commodity pricing. This supply shortfall may continue until the next crop cycle, which could negatively impact our revenues in the second half of 2020 and into the first half of 2021, due to a potential need to reduce volumes to certain existing customers and inability to benefit from spot opportunities with new customers. The supply shortfall could also negatively impact gross margins during these periods, to the extent we are unable to recover the higher input costs through increased sales pricing to customers. The statements in this paragraph are forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements" above. Several factors could adversely impact our ability to meet these forward-looking expectations, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, availability and commodity pricing for fruit, customer actions, consumer behaviours, competitive pressures, and general economic and political conditions in North America, along with the other factors described above under "Forward-Looking Statements."

Corporate Services Operating Loss Changes |
Operating loss for the quarter ended June 29, 2019 | $(4,740)
| Higher employee-related variable compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by the impact of headcount reductions and reduced travel costs, together with favorable foreign exchange impact on Canadian dollar-denominated SG&A expenses | (2,334)
| Decrease in corporate cost allocations to SunOpta operating segments, as a result of lower corporate headcount and overhead costs | (1,722)
| Lower stock-based compensation costs related to a prior three-year incentive plan, as awards granted under the plan to certain employees in the second quarter of 2017 became fully amortized | 631
| Lower non-structural third-party professional fees and employee retention costs associated with the Value Creation Plan | 491
Operating loss for the quarter ended June 27, 2020 | $(7,674)

Corporate cost allocations mainly consist of salaries of corporate personnel who directly support the operating segments, as well as costs related to the enterprise resource management system. These expenses are allocated to the operating segments based on (1) specific identification of allocable costs that represent a service provided to each segment and (2) a proportionate distribution of costs based on a weighting of factors such as revenue contribution and the number of people employed within each segment.

We believe that investors' understanding of our financial performance is enhanced by disclosing the specific items that we exclude from segment operating income. However, any measure of operating income excluding any or all of these items is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for operating income prepared under U.S. GAAP. These items are presented solely to allow investors to more fully understand how we assess financial performance.

Revenues for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020 increased by 8.1% to $646.9 million from $598.3 million for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. Excluding the impact on revenues of the sale of the soy and corn business and the acquisition of Sanmark (a net decrease in revenues of $7.3 million) and changes in foreign exchange rates (a decrease in revenues of $2.0 million), partially offset by changes in commodity-related pricing (an increase in revenues of $1.7 million), revenues increased by 9.5% in the first two quarters of 2020, compared with the first two quarters of 2019. Revenues increased on an adjusted basis across all segments of the business, reflecting the expansion of plant-based beverage and broth offerings for retail customers, growth in plant-based ingredient extraction volumes, higher volumes of organic ingredients and premium juice products, and increased retail volumes and sales pricing for frozen fruit, partially offset by lower volumes of plant-based beverage, frozen fruit and fruit ingredient products sold into the foodservice channel.

Gross profit increased $27.9 million, or 50.2%, to $83.4 million for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, compared with $55.5 million for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020 was 12.9% compared to 9.3% for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019, an increase of 360 basis points. Gross profit and gross profit percentage increased across all segments of the business, reflecting higher sales and production volumes of plant-based beverages, broths and plant-based ingredients, and improved plant utilization and productivity-driven cost savings in the Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment, together with increased sales pricing and volumes, and a favorable mix of higher-margin retail sales of frozen fruit, and lower processing costs within the Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment, and increased pricing spreads and productivity improvements for certain organic ingredients and premium juice products in the Global Ingredients segment, partially offset by lower production and plant utilization for fruit ingredients and fruit snacks in the Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment.
For the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, we realized total segment operating income of $20.3 million, compared with a total segment operating loss of $2.2 million for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. The $22.5 million increase in total segment operating income reflected higher gross profit, as described above, partially offset by a year-over-year unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $3.5 million within our Mexican frozen fruit and European organic ingredient operations, due to declines in the Mexican peso and euro relative to the U.S. dollar, together with a $2.0 million increase in SG&A expenses mainly due to higher employee-related variable compensation and benefit costs, and reserves for credit losses due to a weaker economic outlook, partially offset by the benefit from headcount reductions and other cost savings measures taken in 2019, together with lower travel and marketing costs.
Further details on revenue, gross profit and segment operating income/loss variances are provided below under "Segmented Operations Information."
Other income for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, of $1.6 million, mainly reflected a $2.3 million gain on the settlement of a remaining earn-out obligation that arose from our acquisition of Citrusource in 2015, partially offset by employee termination and facility closure costs related to the Value Creation Plan. Other income for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019, of $43.1 million, mainly reflected the pre-tax gain on sale of the soy and corn business of $45.4 million.
Net interest expense decreased by $0.8 million to $16.2 million for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, compared with $17.0 million for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. Interest expense included the amortization of debt issuance costs of $2.0 million and $1.3 million in the first two quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in net interest expense reflected lower average borrowings and weighted-average interest rates under our line of credit facilities, together with interest income received on a tax refund in the first quarter of 2020.
We recognized a provision of income tax of $1.6 million for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, compared with a recovery of income taxes of $7.2 million for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. The effective tax rate was 27.7% in the first two quarters of 2020, compared with 28.2% in the first two quarters of 2019.
On a consolidated basis, we realized a loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.3 million (diluted loss per share of $0.00) for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, compared with earnings attributable to common shareholders of $12.6 million (diluted earnings per share of $0.14) for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019, which was inclusive of the gain on the sale of the soy and corn business.
For the two quarters ended June 27, 2020, the adjusted loss was $0.4 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted loss of $16.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. Excluding the results of the disposed soy and corn operations, the adjusted loss was $16.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA of $44.8 million for the two quarters ended June 27, 2020 more than doubled adjusted EBITDA of $21.0 million for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. Excluding disposed operations, adjusted EBITDA was $21.2 million for the two quarters ended June 29, 2019. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See footnotes (2) and (3) to the table above for a reconciliation of adjusted earnings/loss and adjusted EBITDA from net earnings/loss, which we consider to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

Corporate cost allocations mainly consist of salaries of corporate personnel who directly support the operating segments, as well as costs related to the enterprise resource management system. These expenses are allocated to the operating segments based on (1) specific identification of allocable costs that represent a service provided to each segment and (2) a proportionate distribution of costs based on a weighting of factors such as revenue contribution and the number of people employed within each segment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have the following sources from which we can fund our operating cash requirements:

• Existing cash and cash equivalents;
• Available operating lines of credit;
• Cash flows generated from operating activities, including working capital efficiency efforts;

SUNOPTA INC. | 52 | June 27, 2020 10-Q

• Cash flows generated from the exercise, if any, of stock options during the year;
• Potential additional long-term financing, including leasing arrangements and the issuance of debt and/or equity securities; and
• Potential sales of businesses or assets.
On February 11, 2016, we entered a five-year credit agreement for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $350 million, subject to borrowing base capacity (the "Global Credit Facility"). On January 28, 2020, the credit agreement was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the Global Credit Facility to March 31, 2022. The Global Credit Facility supports the working capital and general corporate needs of our global operations, in addition to funding strategic initiatives. The applicable margin in the Global Credit Facility ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% with respect to base rate and prime rate borrowings and from 1.25% to 1.75% for eurocurrency rate and bankers' acceptance rate borrowings. In addition, in connection with the amendment of the credit agreement on January 28, 2020, the applicable margin rate on any loans under the Global Credit Facility is increased by an additional 0.50% while our total leverage ratio exceeds a specific threshold. Based on outstanding borrowings under the Global Credit Facility (as described below), the 50 basis-point increase in the margin rate will increase interest expense and reduce cash flows by approximately $1.1 million on an annualized basis.
On September 19, 2017 and October 22, 2018, the Global Credit Facility was amended to add an additional $20 million U.S. asset-based credit subfacility (the "U.S. Subfacility"), which was fully drawn as of October 22, 2018. Commencing on March 31, 2019, quarterly amortization payments on the aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Subfacility are equal to $3.33 million, and these payments may be funded through borrowings under the revolving facilities of the Global Credit Facility. Borrowings repaid under the U.S. Subfacility may not be borrowed again. As at June 27, 2020, $3.33 million remained drawn on the U.S. Subfacility, which was repaid on June 30, 2020. The applicable margin for the U.S. Subfacility is set quarterly based on average borrowing availability for the preceding fiscal quarter ranges from 2.00% to 2.50% with respect to base rate and prime rate borrowings and from 3.00% to 3.50% for eurocurrency rate and bankers' acceptance rate borrowings.
As at June 27, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of $202.3 million (December 28, 2019 - $241.7 million) and available borrowing capacity of approximately $61 million (December 28, 2019 - $43 million) under the Global Credit Facility. For more information on the Global Credit Facility, see note 7(1) to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
As at June 27, 2020, we had borrowings of $2.6 million (€2.3 million) outstanding under a $6.6 million (€6.0 million) revolving credit facility used to fund the activities of our Bulgarian sunflower processing operations. The maturity date of this annual facility has been temporarily extended from April 30, 2020 to August 31, 2020 due to COVID-19 conditions. Our intention is to complete the renewal of this facility until April 30, 2021. For more information on the Bulgarian credit facility, see note 7(2) to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
On October 20, 2016, SunOpta Foods issued $231.0 million of 9.5% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due October 9, 2022 (the "Notes"). As at June 27, 2020, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes was $223.5 million. For more information on the Notes, see note 7(3) to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
On October 7, 2016, SunOpta Foods issued 85,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") for $85.0 million. The Series A Preferred Stock had an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and is currently exchangeable into shares of our common stock at an exchange price of $7.00 per share. Cumulative preferred dividends accrue daily on the Series A Preferred Stock at an annualized rate of 8.0% of the liquidation preference prior to October 5, 2025, which presently equates to quarterly dividend distributions of approximately $1.7 million, and 12.5% of the liquidation preference thereafter. Prior to October 5, 2025, SunOpta Foods may pay dividends in cash or elect, in lieu of paying cash, to pay in kind by adding the amount that would have been paid to the liquidation preference. For quarterly periods prior to the first quarter of 2020, dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock were paid in cash by SunOpta Foods. For the first quarter of 2020, SunOpta Foods elected to declare dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock to be paid in kind and, as a result, the aggregate liquidation preference increased by $1.7 million to $86.7 million. For more information on the Series A Preferred Stock, see note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.

SUNOPTA INC. | 53 | June 27, 2020 10-Q

On April 24, 2020, SunOpta Foods issued 30,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the "Series B-1 Preferred Stock") for $30.0 million. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and is exchangeable into shares of our common stock at an exchange price of $2.50 per share. Cumulative preferred dividends accrue daily on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock at an annualized rate of 8.0% of the liquidation preference prior to September 30, 2029, which presently equates to quarterly dividend distributions of approximately $0.6 million, and 10.0% of the liquidation preference thereafter. Prior to September 30, 2029, SunOpta Foods may pay dividends on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock in cash or in kind. We intend to use the proceeds from the issuance of Series B-1 Preferred Stock to provide for incremental liquidity given the general economic uncertainty due to COVID-19, and to invest in our plant-based food and beverage business through capital projects to expand capacity. In addition, we had the option, but not the obligation, to require that each of the investors in the Series B-1 Preferred Stock purchase its proportionate share of up to 15,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration of up to $30.0 million, and up to 30,000 shares total, by giving notice to the investors on or before July 15, 2020. We elected not to exercise this option, and no shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock have been issued. For more information on the Series B Preferred Stock, see note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
On April 10, 2020, we entered into a master lease agreement that provides up to $20 million of equipment financing to support the expansion of our plant-based ingredient extraction capabilities at our Alexandria, Minnesota, facility. On June 18, 2020, we entered into another master lease agreement that provides up to $15 million of equipment financing to support the expansion of our plant-based beverage processing and packaging capabilities at our facilities in Modesto, California and Allentown, Pennsylvania. We currently expect each of these expansion projects to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020.
In order to finance significant acquisitions, if any, that may arise in the future, we may need additional sources of cash that we could attempt to obtain through a combination of additional bank or subordinated financing, a private or public offering of debt or equity securities, or the issuance of common stock as consideration in an acquisition. There can be no assurance that these types of financing would be available at all or, if so, on terms that are acceptable to us.
In the event that we require additional liquidity due to market conditions, unexpected actions by our lenders, changes to our growth strategy, reduced earnings, or other factors, our ability to obtain any additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, could be limited. In order to reduce our indebtedness and improve our position to obtain additional financing, we may explore the sale of selected businesses or assets from time to time.
Cash Flows

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019

Net cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 to $1.6 million as at June 27, 2020, compared with $2.7 million as at March 28, 2020.
Cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with cash used of $31.7 million in the second quarter of 2019, an increase in cash provided of $34.3 million, which reflected a period-over-period increase in operating results, before changes in working capital, of $14.7 million, together with a reduction in working capital of $19.6 million. The reduction in working capital reflected a decrease in accounts receivables mainly due to a sequential decline in sales to foodservice customers from the first quarter of 2020.
Cash used in investing activities related to capital expenditures was $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease in cash used of $3.0 million, which reflected the additional use of leasing arrangements to support certain major capital projects in the second quarter of 2020. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2020 included the expansion of our plant-based beverage processing and ingredient extraction capabilities, and the addition of new automation at our frozen fruit processing facilities.
Cash provided by financing activities was $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared with $41.0 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease in cash provided of $38.4 million. Net borrowings under our line of credit facilities decreased $21.3 million in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $26.8 million, together with our improved operating performance, partially offset by higher seasonal working capital needs related to the timing of fruit purchases, and capital expenditures. The $43.4 million increase in net borrowings under the line of credit facilities in the second quarter of 2019 reflected funds for working capital and capital expenditures.

First Two Quarters of 2020 Compared to First Two Quarters of 2019
Net cash and cash equivalents increased $0.1 million in the first two quarters of 2020 to $1.6 million as at June 27, 2020, compared with $1.5 million as at December 28, 2019.
Cash provided by operating activities was $37.4 million in the first two quarters of 2020, compared with cash used of $30.7 million in the first two quarters of 2019, an increase in cash provided of $68.1 million, which reflected a year-over-year increase in operating results, before changes in working capital, of $32.6 million, together with a reduction in working capital of $35.4 million. The year-over-year change in working capital reflected lower inventories of frozen fruit (due to higher sales volumes of frozen fruit, combined with a decline in the frozen strawberry supply from California) and ingredients (due to reduction in bulk animal feed and cocoa positions), together with the receipt of a $5.7 million income tax refund in the first quarter of 2020.
Cash used in investing activities related to capital expenditures was $16.1 million in the first two quarters of 2020 (reflecting spending on the projects identified above for the second quarter), compared with $17.3 million in the first two quarters of 2019, a decrease in cash used of $1.3 million, which reflected the additional use of leasing arrangements to support certain major capital projects. Net proceeds from the sale of the soy and corn business were $64.7 million in the first two quarters of 2019.
Cash used in financing activities was $21.3 million in the first two quarters of 2020, compared with cash used of $14.1 million in the first two quarters of 2019, an increase in cash used of $7.2 million. Net borrowings under our line of credit facilities decreased $41.0 million in the first two quarters of 2020, reflecting our improved operating performance and net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock, together with lower working capital, partially offset by capital expenditures. The $11.3 million decrease in net borrowings under the line of credit facilities in the first two quarters of 2019 reflected the initial application of the net proceeds from the soy and corn business, partially offset by higher working capital and capital expenditures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are currently no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in our contractual obligations since December 28, 2019.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related revenues and expenses, and disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and assumptions made require us to exercise our judgment and are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We continually evaluate the information that forms the basis of our estimates and assumptions as our business and the business environment generally changes.
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates disclosed under the heading "Critical Accounting Estimates" in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of the Form 10-K. For a discussion of new accounting standards, see note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 27, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 27, 2020. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 27, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Certain risks associated with our operations are discussed in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the previously reported risk factors as of the date of this quarterly report.

Risks Related to Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted worldwide economic conditions and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results

Our business and financial results may be negatively impacted by the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including causing significant volatility in customer demand for our products, changes in consumer behaviour and preference, disruptions in our supply chain operations, disruptions to our business expansion plans, limitations on our employees' ability to work and travel, significant changes in the economic conditions in markets in which we operate and related currency and commodity volatility, and pressure on our liquidity. In addition, while we have not experienced any material interruptions in our plant operations to date, and our facilities have largely been exempt from government closure orders where applicable, it is possible during the pandemic that we could experience employee absences that cause interruptions in our plant operations, and we may not be exempt from future government closure orders depending on the specific circumstances. Despite our efforts to manage these impacts, they also depend on factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. As a result, we cannot reasonably estimate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results, but the impact could be material and last for an extended period.
