**John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Results**

***Higher Net Sales Drove a Diluted EPS Increase of 59% to $1.59 per Share*** 

**Elgin, IL, October 29, 2025 -- John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBSS)** (the "Company") today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 first quarter ended September 25, 2025.

**<u>First Quarter Summary</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Net sales increased $22.5 million, or 8.1%, to $298.7 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Sales volume decreased 0.6 million pounds, or 0.7%, to 90.5 million pounds

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Gross profit increased 16.2% to $54.1 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Diluted EPS increased 59% to $1.59 per share

**<u>CEO Commentary</u>**

"We began the fiscal year with strong momentum, continuing to execute our Long-Range Plan with discipline and focus. In this quarter, we delivered a 59% improvement in diluted earnings per share, underscoring the strength of our strategy, improvements in our commercial ingredients and contract manufacturing businesses and our relentless focus on generating operational efficiencies throughout our business. We have seen directional improvement in sales volume over the past three quarters, signaling progress in stabilizing our overall demand. These results were achieved in a challenging snack food environment, as consumer behavior continues to evolve in response to broader macroeconomic shifts. Our achievements reflect the hard work and commitment of our employees, whose contributions remain vital to our continued success," stated Jeffrey T. Sanfilippo, Chief Executive Officer.

**<u>First Quarter Results</u>**

**<u>Net Sales</u>**

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 increased by $22.5 million, or 8.1%, to $298.7 million. This increase was primarily driven by an 8.9% increase in the weighted average selling price per pound, which was partially offset by a 0.7% decline in sales volume (pounds sold to customers). The increase in the weighted average selling price per pound was largely attributable to significantly higher commodity acquisition costs for all major tree nuts. Sales volume decreased for all major product types, except for peanuts, walnuts, and pecans, all of which experienced volume growth in the quarter.

**<u>Sales</u> <u>Volume</u>** 

***Consumer Distribution Channel* -*5.1%*** 

This sales volume decrease was primarily driven by a 3.2% reduction in private brand sales volume, with approximately half of the decrease due to the discontinuation of peanut butter at a mass merchandiser. The remaining private brand sales volume decrease was nearly evenly split between nut and trail mix and bars. Nut and trail mix sales volume was negatively impacted by higher retail prices and reduced promotional activity, which was partially offset by new business and expanded distribution at three existing customers. Bar sales volume declined due to a strategic reduction in sales to one grocery retailer and lost distribution to another, which was partially offset by growth at a mass merchandiser and at a current customer. On the branded side, lost distribution of *Orchard Valley Harvest* at a major customer in the non-food sector also contributed to the overall decline in the consumer distribution channel.

------

***Commercial Ingredients Distribution Channel* +*12.8%*** 

This sales volume increase was mainly driven by new business with two customers, higher peanut butter volume at existing food service customers and increased sales of peanut crushing stock to peanut oil processors.

***Contract Manufacturing Distribution Channel +18.4%***

This sales volume increase was driven by increased granola sales volume processed and increased snack nut sales to another customer added during the second quarter of the prior year. These increases were partially offset by lower peanut and peanut butter sales volume to a major customer.

**<u>Gross Profit</u>**

Gross profit increased $7.6 million to $54.1 million and gross profit margin increased to 18.1% of net sales from 16.9% of net sales in the prior year's first quarter. This improvement was primarily driven by higher net sales during the quarter, with selling prices more closely aligned with commodity acquisition costs compared to the first quarter of the prior year. Additionally, the prior year first quarter included a one-time price concession to a bar customer that did not recur this quarter.

**<u>Operating Expenses, net</u>**

Total operating expenses decreased $2.5 million in the quarterly comparison, primarily driven by lower marketing and insights spending, reduced third-party warehouse costs, lower third-party recruitment expenses and decreased freight costs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation expense. As a percentage of net sales, total operating expenses decreased to 9.1% from 10.7% in the prior comparable quarter, driven by the factors noted above and a higher net sales base.

**<u>Inventory</u>**

The value of total inventories on hand at the end of the current first quarter increased $40.2 million, or 20.6%. The increase was driven by higher commodity acquisition costs across all major tree nuts as well as greater on-hand quantities of finished goods due to lower-than-forecasted back-to-school demand for bars and preparation for anticipated holiday seasonal demand. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut and dried fruit input stock on hand increased 24.8% year over year mainly due to higher acquisition costs for all major tree nuts.

In closing, Mr. Sanfilippo commented, "As we look ahead, we will continue to build on the momentum we have generated in this quarter by staying focused on three key priorities: growing our sales volume, delivering best-in-class service and value to our customers, and driving ongoing improvements in profitability. These efforts are foundational to our strategy and will enable us to deliver long-term value to our shareholders. While the current quarter's EPS results were strong, sustaining this quarter's level of EPS improvement for the remainder of the 2026 fiscal year may be challenging due to an uncertain macroeconomic environment and current trends in the snack food market. That said, we remain confident in our direction and committed to building on our progress."
