Commenting on the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 results, Sherman Miller, president and chief executive

officer of Cal-Maine Foods, stated, "Our results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 marked a strong finish

to a challenging, but successful year of transformation for Cal-Maine Foods. We continued to advance our

growth strategy in a dynamic market environment, maintained a strong focus on safely, efficiently and

sustainably managing our operations, added production capacity to meet customer demand and stayed

disciplined in our investments.

"Following the end of the fourth quarter, we closed the acquisition of Echo Lake Foods, which aligns

with our strategy to diversify our product portfolio by expanding our prepared foods offerings. We are

excited about the new market opportunities that Echo Lake Foods provides for Cal-Maine Foods, our

customers and our shareholders, and we look forward to continuing to work together on a successful

integration," added Miller.

#### Key Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2025 Financial Drivers
Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $1.1 billion compared with $640.8 million for

the same period last year. Net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025

was $342.5 million, or $7.04 per diluted share, compared with $113.2 million, or $2.32 per diluted share,

for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The higher net sales were primarily driven by an increase in the net

average selling price of shell eggs and also reflected higher volumes sold. The higher market prices were a

direct result of the reduced supply of shell eggs across the industry due to outbreaks of highly pathogenic

avian influenza ("HPAI") during a period of high demand for eggs and egg products around the Easter

holiday.

Net sales for fiscal 2025 were $4.3 billion compared with $2.3 billion for fiscal 2024. Net income

attributable to Cal-Maine Foods for fiscal 2025 was $1.2 billion, or $24.95 per diluted share, compared to

$277.9 million, or $5.69 per diluted share. The increase in sales revenue was primarily due to an increase

in the net average selling price of eggs as well as an increase in the dozens sold reflecting both organic and

inorganic expansion.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the net average selling price per dozen was $3.305 compared

with $2.133 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The net average selling price generally reflects a blend of

higher market-based prices for most conventional eggs with lower negotiated-price arrangements for

specialty eggs, based on long-standing pricing frameworks with customers that the Company has honored

throughout the various cycles that characterize the egg industry.

Overall demand for shell eggs was strong during the fourth fiscal quarter, which included the busy

Easter holiday season. The Company sold 311.4 million dozen shell eggs, representing a 9.0% increase,

including the contribution from acquisitions, compared with 285.6 million dozens for the fourth quarter of

fiscal 2024. Sales of conventional eggs totaled 189.6 million dozens, compared with 180.5 million dozens

for the prior-year period, an increase of 5.0%. Specialty egg volumes also increased by 16.0% to a record

121.8 million dozens sold for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with 105.0 million dozens sold for

the prior-year period.

Fourth quarter farm production costs per dozen remained relatively flat compared to the prior-year

period as the Company benefited from more favorable commodity pricing for key feed ingredients that were

offset with higher facility costs. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, feed costs per dozen were down 2.2%

compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Costs for outside egg purchases increased significantly

quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to higher shell egg prices.

Max Bowman, vice president and chief financial officer of Cal-Maine Foods, commented, "Our

financial results reflect Cal-Maine Foods' ability to respond to the challenges of a dynamic market. Our

strategic focus on both organic growth and adding production capacity through acquisitions allowed us to

meet customer demand with favorable results. As always, we remain focused on optimizing the aspects of

our business in which we have operating control and managing efficiently and safely regardless of the

market environment."

0.550 #### HPAI Comments
Outbreaks of HPAI have continued to occur in U.S. poultry flocks. In calendar year 2024, 40.2

million commercial layer hens and pullets were depopulated due to HPAI, and in calendar year 2025, an

additional 39.0 million commercial layer hens and pullets have been depopulated through May. HPAI is

currently widespread in the wild bird population worldwide and no farm is immune from HPAI. The extent

of possible future outbreaks in commercial laying hens, with heightened risk during migration seasons,

cannot be predicted. The widely reported spread of HPAI in dairy cattle increases risks to Cal-Maine Foods'

operations and those of other egg producers. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention, the human health risk to the U.S. public from the HPAI virus is considered to be low. Also,

according to the USDA, HPAI cannot be transmitted through safely handled and properly cooked eggs.

There is no known risk related to HPAI associated with eggs that are currently in the market and no eggs

have been recalled due to HPAI.

#### Dividend Payment and Share Repurchases
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Cal-Maine Foods will pay a cash dividend of approximately

$2.35 per share to holders of its Common Stock. The dividend is payable on August 19, 2025, to holders of

record on August 4, 2025. The final amount paid per share will be based on the number of outstanding

shares on the record date.

Pursuant to Cal-Maine Foods' variable dividend policy, for each quarter in which the Company

reports net income, the Company pays a cash dividend to shareholders in an amount equal to one-third of

such quarterly net income. Following a quarter in which the Company does not report net income, the

Company will not pay a dividend with respect to that quarter or for a subsequent profitable quarter until

the Company is profitable on a cumulative basis computed from the date of the most recent quarter for

which a dividend was paid.

On February 25, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new share

repurchase program that authorizes the Company, in management's discretion, to repurchase shares of

Cal-Maine Foods' Common Stock from time to time up to an aggregate purchase price of $500 million.

During the fourth quarter fiscal 2025, the Company repurchased approximately $50 million of its Common

Stock, or 551,876 shares, from the Company's founder's family members, leaving approximately $450

-MORE-

million remaining under the share repurchase program. The Company expects to opportunistically

repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, subject to market conditions and other factors.

#### Looking Ahead
Miller added, "Cal-Maine Foods has continued to be resilient through a period of unprecedented

challenges for our industry. We are extremely proud of our teams across our operations who have remained

focused on managing our operations in a responsible manner while navigating the ongoing risks associated

with HPAI. Our consistent ability to meet the demands of our customers is a testament to our ability to

execute our strategy regardless of market conditions. As a leader in our industry, we are mindful of our

critical role in providing an affordable, high-value protein option to support the nation's food supply. We

believe we have a proven operating model and the operational scale that allows us to continue to expand

our shell egg production capacity and product mix, both organically and through strategic acquisitions.

With the addition of Echo Lake Foods, we have a significant opportunity to continue to pursue additional

growth in our prepared foods portfolio, which we expect will diversify our product offering, leverage our

existing distribution channels and expand our reach in retail, quick service restaurants, and other food

service customers.

"Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, we believe Cal-Maine Foods is well-positioned to continue delivering

on our growth and returns strategy with our leading production capability, fully integrated operations,

expanding product portfolio, broad distribution reach and commitment to financial discipline. Above all,

we remain committed to Cal-Maine Foods' unwavering mission to be the most sustainable producer and

reliable supplier of consistent, high quality fresh shell eggs, egg products and prepared foods in the country.

We look forward to the year ahead for Cal-Maine Foods as we pursue the opportunities before us and deliver

value to all our stakeholders."
