STORM DAMAGE CHARGE

The Company recorded a charge of $46 and $1,098, respectively, for storm damage in the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended September 1, 2024.

On May 19, 2024, the Company’s manufacturing facilities in Newton, Kansas were damaged by a strong storm which transited the area. None of the Company’s manufacturing lines or equipment were damaged by the storm. Although the building structures were secure, the roofs on all three buildings in the Company’s Newton, Kansas campus were damaged and required significant repairs. Also, multiple specialty HVAC units were damaged or destroyed. These specialty HVAC units are necessary to control the temperature and humidity in certain manufacturing areas, quality laboratories and R&D laboratories, which is required by certain specifications and certifications the Company is subject to. The Company’s production lines were returned to full production within two weeks of the storm.

The Company did not lose any sales for the 2025 fiscal year; however, $1.8 million of sales originally planned to be delivered could not be delivered before the end of the first quarter ended June 2, 2024 due to storm related delays.

The Company paid its employees for the days immediately following the storm despite many not being able to work while others worked on the clean-up of the storm damage to the facilities. The Company incurred $78 of payroll and related costs for lost production time and employees working on clean-up.

The charge recorded by the Company in fiscal 2025 included an asset damage charge, emergency services by outside contractors, rental of temporary HVAC units and the cost of employee downtime or time spent on the clean-up of the storm damage to the facilities. There were no such charges in fiscal 2026.
