Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “our Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, JBSS Real Estate, LLC, JBSS Ventures, LLC and Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd. Our fiscal year ends on the final Thursday of June each year, and typically consists of fifty-two weeks (four thirteen-week quarters). Additional information on the comparability of the periods presented is as follows:

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts and tree nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest and Sunshine Country brand names. We also market and distribute, and in most cases manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. Our products are sold through the major distribution channels to significant buyers of nuts, including food retailers, commercial ingredient users, contract packaging customers and international customers.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements fairly present the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods.

The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The balance sheet data as of June 27, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, these unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2013.

Note 2 – Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market which approximates actual cost. Raw materials and supplies include costs of nut and nut related products. Work-in-process and finished goods include labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Inventories consist of the following:

Note 3 – Intangible Assets

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following:

Customer relationships and the non-compete agreement relate wholly to the Orchard Valley Harvest (“OVH”) acquisition completed in 2010. Customer relationships are being amortized on a straight line basis over seven years. The non-compete agreement is being amortized based upon the expected pattern of cash flow annual benefit over a five year period. The brand names consist primarily of the Fisher brand name, which we acquired in a 1995 acquisition. The Fisher brand name became fully amortized in fiscal 2011. The remaining brand name relates to the OVH acquisition and is being amortized on a straight line basis over five years.

Note 4 – Primary Financing Facilities

On February 7, 2008, we entered into a Credit Agreement with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117,500 revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility and subsequently amended the Credit Agreement in March 2010, July 2011, October 2011, January 2013 and December 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). At December 26, 2013, we had $88,996 of available credit under the Credit Facility which reflects borrowings of $24,554 and reduced availability as a result of $3,950 in outstanding letters of credit. As of December 26, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility if the entire available amount were borrowed.

Table of Contents

Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the “Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36,000 (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9,000 (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45,000 (the “Mortgage Facility”). As of December 26, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We have classified $20,200 under Tranche A and $5,050 under Tranche B as long-term debt at December 26, 2013, which represents scheduled principal payments due beyond twelve months. As of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, amounts outstanding under Tranche B are no longer classified entirely as short-term debt since the Mortgage Lender waived its option to use the proceeds from the sale of the Old Elgin Site (as defined below) to reduce the amount outstanding under Tranche B. See Note 11- Sale of Real Property below for additional details.

Note 5 – Income Taxes

At the beginning of fiscal year 2014, we had gross state tax net operating losses of approximately $5,040 that will expire between 2017 and 2030 if not utilized.

As of December 26, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties were not material. There were no material changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the first half of fiscal 2014. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

We file income tax returns with federal and state tax authorities within the United States of America. Our federal tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2011 and later. Our Illinois tax returns are currently under audit for fiscal 2011 and 2012. Our Illinois tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2009 and 2010. Our California tax returns are open for audit for fiscal 2008 and later. No other tax jurisdictions are material to us.

Note 6 – Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock (i) were exercised or converted into Common Stock or (ii) resulted in the issuance of Common Stock. The following table presents the reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the first half of fiscal 2014:

For the twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2013 the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $393 and the total cash received was $373. The change in non-vested stock option activity was insignificant during the first half of fiscal 2014.

The following is a summary of restricted stock unit activity for the first half of fiscal 2014:

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to employees and non-employee outside directors vest over a three-year and one-year period, respectively. At December 26, 2013 there are 44,098 RSUs outstanding that are vested but deferred. The non-vested RSUs will vest over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes compensation cost charged to earnings for all equity compensation plans for the periods presented:

As of December 26, 2013, there was $2,204 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested, share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Note 8 – Special Cash Dividend

On October 29, 2013, our Board of Directors, after considering the financial position of our Company and other factors, declared a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock of the Company (the “Special Dividend”). The Special Dividend was paid on December 5, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2013. The ex-dividend date was the close of business on November 19, 2013. The Company obtained the appropriate consent from the Bank Lenders in order to declare and pay this Special Dividend. The total amount of cash paid to stockholders under the Special Dividend was $16,599.

Note 9 – Retirement Plan

On August 2, 2007, our Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee approved a restated Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for certain of our executive officers and key employees, effective as of August 25, 2005. The purpose of the SERP is to provide an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation benefit upon retirement, disability or death to certain executive officers and key employees. The monthly benefit is based upon each individual’s earnings and his or her number of years of service. Administrative expenses include the following net periodic benefit costs:

Note 10 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The table below sets forth the changes to accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) for the twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2013. These changes are all related to our defined benefit pension plan.

The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the quarter and twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2013 were as follows:

Note 11 – Sale of Real Property

On December 26, 2013, we completed the sale of land and a building that was originally purchased for our facility consolidation project (the “Old Elgin Site”). The sales price was $8,000 and resulted in a gain of $1,037, net of $604 income tax expense, for the quarter and twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2013.

Note 12 – Distribution Channel and Product Type Sales Mix

We operate in a single reportable segment through which we sell various nut and nut related products through multiple distribution channels.

The following summarizes net sales by distribution channel:

The following summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

For all periods presented, the largest component of the “Other” product type is trail and snack mixes which include nut products.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

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

Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

The carrying values of cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values at each balance sheet date because of the short-term maturities and nature of these balances.

The carrying value of our revolving credit facility borrowings approximates fair value at each balance sheet date because interest rates on this instrument approximate current market rates (Level 2 criteria), the short-term maturity and nature of this balance. In addition, there has been no significant change in our inherent credit risk.

The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimate of our long term debt, including current maturities:

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using a market approach based upon Level 2 observable inputs, which estimates fair value based on interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality or broker quotes. In addition, there have been no significant changes in the underlying assets securing our long-term debt.

Note 15 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The update requires presentation by the respective line items of net income, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, information about significant amounts required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The update only affects the presentation of comprehensive income and does not impact what is included in comprehensive income, and therefore the adoption of this update did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

As used herein, unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “our Company” collectively refer to John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, JBSS Real Estate, LLC, JBSS Ventures, LLC and Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd. Our Company’s Credit Facility and Mortgage Facility, as defined below, are sometimes collectively referred to as “our financing arrangements.”

We are one of the leading processors and distributors of peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds and other nuts in the United States. These nuts are sold under a variety of private brands and under the Fisher, Orchard Valley Harvest, and Sunshine Country brand names. We also market and distribute, and in most cases manufacture or process, a diverse product line of food and snack products, including peanut butter, almond butter, candy and confections, snacks and trail mixes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, corn snacks, sesame sticks and other sesame snack products under private brands and brand names. We distribute our products in the consumer, commercial ingredients, contract packaging and export distribution channels.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 we updated our strategic plan (the “Strategic Plan”), the goal of which is to drive profitable growth. Our long-term goals include:

We continue to execute this strategy during fiscal 2014. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014 we were recognized as a top supplier to one of our largest commercial ingredient food service customers. During the second half of fiscal 2013 we were recognized as the “supplier of the year” by two significant customers, one of which is our largest. We continue to develop our Fisher brand business in China by improving our distributor network and progressing towards activating Sanfilippo (Shanghai) Trading Co. Ltd to support our long-term business strategy.

We face a number of challenges in the future. Specific challenges, among others, include: high tree nut commodity costs (due to the continued high demand for pecans and walnuts in China) and intensified competition for market share from both private brand and name brand nut products. We will continue to focus on seeking profitable business opportunities to further utilize our additional production capacity at our primary manufacturing, processing and distribution facility located in Elgin, Illinois (the “Elgin Site”). We expect to maintain our recent level of promotional and advertising activity of our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands, and to develop new products for all product lines. We will continue to face the ongoing challenges specific to our business such as food safety and regulatory issues and the maintenance and growth of our customer base. See the information referenced in Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” of this report for additional information about our risks, challenges and uncertainties.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Our net sales of $225.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 4.4% from our net sales of $215.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Net sales for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 increased by $8.7 million, or 2.2%, to $401.8 million from net sales of $393.1 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013.

Sales volume, measured as pounds sold to customers, increased 7.1 million pounds, or 12.0% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Sales volume increased 14.1 million pounds, or 12.9%, compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013.

Gross profit increased by $0.3 million and our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 16.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 17.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross profit decreased by $0.9 million and our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 16.5% from 17.1% for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased by $1.7 million, or 7.6%, to 9.1% of net sales from 10.3% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. For the first half of fiscal 2014, total operating expenses decreased by $1.4 million to 9.3% of net sales compared to 9.9% of net sales for the first half of fiscal 2013. Operating expenses during the second quarter and twenty-six weeks ended December 26, 2013 were favorably impacted by a $1.6 million pretax gain from the sale of the Old Elgin Site. Also, as a result of the sale of the Old Elgin Site, we reclassified $5.1 million of our Tranche B debt to long-term debt which represents payments due beyond twelve months.

The total value of inventories on hand at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased by $19.5 million, or 11.6%, in comparison to the total value of inventories on hand at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

We continue to expect that acquisition costs for domestic tree nuts will increase in the 2013 crop year (which falls into our current 2014 fiscal year). We have completed procurement of inshell walnuts during the first half of fiscal 2014. During the third quarter we will determine the final prices to be paid to the walnut growers based upon current market prices and other factors. We have estimated the liability to our walnut growers and our walnut inventory costs using currently available information. Any difference between our estimated liability and the actual final liability will be determined during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and will be recognized in our financial results at that time.

We have experienced peanut market price increases during the 2013 crop year due to decreased planted acreage.

Our Board of Directors, after considering the financial position of our Company and other factors, declared a special cash dividend on October 29, 2013. The special cash dividend of $1.50 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Common stock of the Company was paid on December 5, 2013. We paid a total of $16.6 million to our stockholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Our net sales increased to $225.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to net sales of $215.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 while sales volume, which is defined as pounds sold to customers, increased by 12.0%. The favorable impact upon net sales from the increase in sales volume was offset partially by lower selling prices for all major nut types except almonds. Consistent with the first quarter of fiscal 2014, selling prices decreased mainly in pecan and peanut products in response to lower acquisition costs. Sales volume increased in all four distribution channels led by a significant increase in sales volume in the consumer channel.

16

Table of Contents

Our net sales increased by $8.7 million, or 2.2%, for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to a 12.9% increase in sales volume. As was the case in the quarterly comparison, the increase in net sales from the increase in sales volume was offset in part by lower selling prices for all major nut types except almonds.

The following table shows a comparison of net sales by distribution channel (dollars in thousands):

The following summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

Net sales in the consumer distribution channel increased by 1.5% in dollars and 14.1% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Private brand consumer sales volume increased 13.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due primarily to increased sales of snack nut and trail mix products at two significant customers. Fisher recipe nut sales volume increased 28.5% due primarily to increased merchandising activity at a major customer which occurred as a result of significantly lower pecan prices compared to pecan prices that existed in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Fisher snack nut sales volume declined 14.3% in the quarterly comparison as a result of reduced distribution of inshell peanuts at a major Fisher snack nut customer due to competitive pricing pressure. We anticipate regaining this distribution starting in the third quarter.

In the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014, net sales in the consumer distribution channel decreased by 3.6% in dollars, but increased 8.3% in sales volume compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The increase in sales volume in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 was offset by a decrease in average selling price. Private brand consumer sales volume increased by 9.5% in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 due to the reasons discussed above. Fisher brand recipe nut sales volume increased by 17.5% in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013 due primarily to the favorable impact of lower selling prices at a major customer. Fisher brand snack nut sales volume decreased 19.1% for the reasons discussed above.

17

Table of Contents

Net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased by 5.8% in dollars, and increased 5.4% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. In the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014, net sales in the commercial ingredients distribution channel increased by 10.6% in dollars and 16.7% in sales volume compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The sales volume increase, for both the quarterly and twenty-six week periods, was primarily due to increased sales of almond products as a result of distribution gains achieved with a major existing customer and higher pecan sales as a result of significantly lower pecan prices compared to pecan prices that existed in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 15.7% in dollars and 17.0% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. In the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014, net sales in the contract packaging distribution channel increased by 20.4% in dollars and 30.5% in sales volume compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013. The sales volume increase, for both the quarterly and twenty-six week periods, was due primarily to new product launches and increased promotional activity implemented by a major existing contract packaging customer.

Net sales in the export distribution channel increased by 14.2% in dollars and 3.6% in sales volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily because of the timing of inshell walnut sales. Most of the inshell walnut export shipments in the prior year were delayed into the third quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a late harvest that year. Net sales in the export distribution channel in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 were relatively unchanged, increasing by 0.5% in dollars but decreasing 2.4% in sales volume compared to the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by $0.3 million, or 0.7%, to $36.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 16.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 17.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross profit decreased by $0.9 million, or 1.4%, to $66.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2014 from $67.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013. Our gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 16.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to 17.1% for the first six months of fiscal 2013. The decline in gross profit margin in both the quarterly comparison and year to date comparison was attributable mainly to decreased selling prices for private brand snack and trail mix products from competitive pricing pressure. The decline in gross profit margin in both the quarterly and year to date comparisons was offset in part by manufacturing efficiency improvements achieved during the first two quarters of the fiscal 2014.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased by $1.7 million to $20.6 million. Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased to 9.1% of net sales from 10.3% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in operating expense is primarily due to a $1.6 million pretax gain on the sale of the Old Elgin Site which represented 0.7% of net sales for the quarter.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 were $15.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 3.8%, from the amount recorded for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in selling expenses was due primarily to a $0.7 million increase in freight expense due to increased sales volume during the quarter ended December 26, 2013.

Administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 were $7.0 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 8.0%, from the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due primarily to a $0.6 million decrease in incentive compensation expense.

Total operating expenses for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 decreased by $1.4 million to $37.6 million due primarily to the $1.6 million pretax gain on the sale of the Old Elgin Site which represented 0.4% of net sales for the first half of fiscal 2014. Operating expenses for the first half of fiscal 2014 decreased to 9.4% of net sales from 9.9% of net sales for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013.

18

Table of Contents

Selling expenses for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 were relatively unchanged at $25.1 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.1%, from the amount recorded for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013.

Administrative expenses for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 were $14.2 million which is consistent with the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013. Changes in administrative expense include a decrease in compensation related expenses of $0.5 million in the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 due primarily to a decrease in incentive compensation expense compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The impact of this decrease was offset by $0.6 million of asset disposals and other gains that occurred in the prior year that did not recur this year.

Income from Operations

Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations increased to $16.4 million, or 7.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from $14.4 million, or 6.7% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Due to the factors discussed above, income from operations increased to $28.7 million, or 7.2% of net sales, for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 from $28.3 million, or 7.2% of net sales, for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $1.1 million for the second quarter of both fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. Interest expense decreased 8.6% to $2.1 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The decrease in interest expense, for the twenty-six week period, was due primarily to lower average borrowing levels.

Rental and Miscellaneous Expense, Net

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $0.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net rental and miscellaneous expense was $1.3 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to $0.8 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013. The increase in both the quarterly and twenty-six week periods was primarily due to increased maintenance expense on the exterior of the office building. This maintenance project is approximately 16% complete and we expect the project to conclude in fiscal 2015.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $5.3 million, or 36.5% of income before income taxes, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $4.7 million, or 36.3% of income before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2013. For the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014, income tax expense was $9.3 million, or 36.6% of income before income taxes, compared to $9.3 million, or 37.0% of income before income taxes for the comparable period last year.

Net Income

Net income was $9.2 million, or $0.84 per common share (basic) and $0.83 per common share (diluted), for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $8.3 million, or $0.77 per common share (basic) and $0.76 per common share (diluted), for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net income was $16.0 million, or $1.46 per common share (basic) and $1.44 per common share (diluted), for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014, compared to net income of $15.8 million, or $1.46 per common share (basic) and $1.45 per common share (diluted), for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The primary uses of cash are to fund our current operations, fulfill contractual obligations, pursue our Strategic Plan and repay indebtedness. Also, various uncertainties could result in additional uses of cash. The primary sources of cash are results of operations and availability under our Credit Agreement, dated February 7, 2008 and subsequently amended in March 2010, July 2011, October 2011, January 2013 and December 2013 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), that provides a revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. We anticipate that expected net cash flow generated from operations and amounts available pursuant to the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Increases in our available credit under our Credit Facility, due to our improved financial performance in the past, have allowed us to consummate business acquisitions, devote more funds to promote our products, (especially our Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest brands), pay a special cash dividend in December 2013 and December 2012, and explore other growth strategies outlined in our Strategic Plan, which includes expansion into existing markets and international markets such as China.

Cash flows from operating activities have historically been driven by net income but are also significantly influenced by inventory requirements, which can change based upon fluctuations in both quantities and market prices of the various nuts and nut products we buy and sell. Current market trends in nut prices and crop estimates also impact nut procurement.

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.6 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to $56.6 million for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013. This decrease was primarily due to increased use of working capital for accounts receivable and inventory. Our nut commodity purchases were $20.9 million higher during the first half of fiscal 2014 than the first half of fiscal 2013, primarily due to the procurement of larger quantities of almonds at higher prices and increasing walnut commodity costs.

Net accounts receivable were $56.9 million at December 26, 2013, an increase of $7.4 million, or 14.9%, from the balance at June 27, 2013, and an increase of $10.9 million, or 23.7%, from the balance at December 27, 2012. The increase in net accounts receivable from June 27, 2013 to December 26, 2013 is due primarily to higher dollar sales in December 2013 compared to June 2013. The increase in net accounts receivable from December 27, 2012 to December 26, 2013 is due primarily to higher dollar sales in December 2013 compared to December 2012.

Accounts receivable allowances were $3.9 million, $2.6 million and $4.9 million at December 26, 2013, June 27, 2013 and December 27, 2012, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable allowances at December 26, 2013 compared to June 27, 2013 is generally due to higher sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in accounts receivable allowances at December 26, 2013 compared to and December 27, 2012 is generally due to the timing of customer deductions.

Total inventories were $187.6 million at December 26, 2013, an increase of $28.9 million, or 18.2%, from the inventory balance at June 27, 2013, and an increase of $19.5 million, or 11.6%, from the inventory balance at December 27, 2012. The increase at December 26, 2013 compared to June 27, 2013 was primarily driven by the receipt of the current year crop of inshell walnuts and pecans. The increase at December 26, 2013 compared to December 27, 2012 is due mainly to higher acquisition costs for walnuts, almonds and pecans.

Raw nut input stocks decreased by 5.1 million pounds or 7.7% at December 26, 2013 compared to December 27, 2012. The decrease was attributable mainly to decreased quantities of pecans and peanuts. The weighted average cost per pound of raw nut input stocks on hand at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014 increased by 16.2% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 mainly driven by higher acquisition costs for walnuts, almonds and pecans.

Investing Activities Cash provided by investing activities was $1.6 million during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to cash used in investing activities of $4.3 million for the same period last year. We spent $6.2 million on capital expenditures in the first half of fiscal 2014 compared to $5.2 million during the first half of fiscal 2013. Cash spent on fiscal 2014 capital expenditures was fully offset by the $7.8 million net proceeds from the sale assets at the Old Elgin Site which occurred at the end of the second quarter. We expect total capital expenditures for new equipment and upgrades, facility maintenance and food safety enhancements for fiscal 2014 to

20

be approximately $13.5 million. Absent any material acquisitions or other significant investments, we believe that cash on hand, combined with cash provided by operations and borrowings available under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements for planned capital expenditures.

Financing Activities Cash used in financing activities was $22.3 million during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to $39.5 million for the same period last year. We paid $16.6 million in dividends during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. We repaid $1.7 million of long-term debt during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014, which was largely all related to the Mortgage Facility (as defined below). The net decrease in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility was $7.3 million during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2014 compared to $40.2 million during the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2013. The increase in short-term borrowings under our Credit Facility occurred primarily as a result of significantly higher acquisition costs for tree nuts purchased from domestic growers during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to acquisition costs for these commodities purchased from growers during the prior fiscal year’s second quarter. Also driving the increase in short-term borrowings is additional borrowings of approximately $5.7 million due to a larger dividend paid this fiscal year compared to last.

Real Estate Matters

In August 2008, we completed the consolidation of our Chicago-based facilities into the Elgin Site. As part of the facility consolidation project, on April 15, 2005, we closed on the $48.0 million purchase of the Elgin Site. The Elgin Site includes both an office building and a warehouse, and affords us increased production capacity, such that we are currently able to offer our services to existing and new customers on an expanded basis.

We are currently attempting to find additional tenants for the available space in the office building at the Elgin Site. Until replacement tenant(s) are found, we will not receive the benefit of rental income associated with such space. Approximately 74% of the office building is currently vacant. There can be no assurance that we will be able to lease the unoccupied space and further capital expenditures may be necessary to lease the remaining space, including the space previously rented by the seller of the Elgin Site.

On March 28, 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary JBSS Properties, LLC, acquired title by quitclaim deed to the Old Elgin Site for our facility consolidation project and also entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the City of Elgin (the “City”). In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, JBSS Properties, LLC transferred all of its property and agreements to JBSS Real Estate, LLC. Under the terms of the Agreement, the City assigned to us its remaining rights and obligations under a development agreement entered into by and among the Company, certain related party partnerships, and the City (the “Development Agreement”). During the second quarter of fiscal 2014 we sold the assets at the Old Elgin Site. We had incurred $6.8 million of gross costs under the Development Agreement, and had carrying values of $6.2 million at June 27, 2013 and December 27, 2012. These costs were recorded as “Assets held for sale” at June 27, 2013 and “Rental investment property” at December 27, 2012.

Financing Arrangements

On February 7, 2008, we entered into the Credit Facility with a bank group (the “Bank Lenders”) providing a $117.5 million revolving loan commitment and letter of credit subfacility. Also on February 7, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with an insurance company (the “Mortgage Lender”) providing us with two term loans, one in the amount of $36.0 million (“Tranche A”) and the other in the amount of $9.0 million (“Tranche B”), for an aggregate amount of $45.0 million (the “Mortgage Facility”).

The Credit Facility, as amended, is secured by substantially all our assets other than real property and fixtures. The Mortgage Facility is secured by mortgages on essentially all of our owned real property located in Elgin, Illinois, Gustine, California and Garysburg, North Carolina (the “Encumbered Properties”).

Credit Facility

The Credit Facility, as amended, matures on July 15, 2016. At our election, borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at either (i) a rate determined pursuant to the administrative agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the amount of loans which may be advanced under the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% or (ii) a rate based upon the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin based upon the borrowing base calculation, ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%.

The portion of the borrowing base calculation under the Credit Facility based upon machinery and equipment decreased by $1.5 million per year for the first five years to coincide with amortization of the machinery and equipment collateral. At December 26, 2013, the weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was 2.82%. The terms of the Credit Facility contain covenants that, among other things, require us to restrict investments, indebtedness, capital expenditures, acquisitions and certain sales of assets, cash dividends, transactions with affiliates, redemptions of capital stock and prepayment of indebtedness (if such prepayment, among other things, is of a subordinate debt). If loan availability under the borrowing base calculation falls below $25.0 million, we will be required to maintain a specified fixed charge coverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis, until loan availability equals or exceeds $25.0 million for three consecutive months. All cash received from customers is required to be applied against the Credit Facility. The Bank Lenders have the option to accelerate and demand immediate repayment of our obligations under the Credit Facility in the event of default on the payments required under the Credit Facility, a change in control in the ownership of the Company, non-compliance with the financial covenants or upon the occurrence of other defaults by us under the Credit Facility (including a default under the Mortgage Facility). As of December 26, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility and we currently expect to be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Credit Facility for the foreseeable future. At December 26, 2013, we had $89.0 million of available credit under the Credit Facility. We would still be in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility if this entire amount were borrowed.

Mortgage Facility

We are subject to interest rate resets for each of Tranche A and Tranche B. Specifically, on March 1, 2018 (the “Tranche A Reset Date”) and March 1, 2014 and every two years thereafter (each, a “Tranche B Reset Date”), the Mortgage Lender may reset the interest rates for each of Tranche A and Tranche B, respectively, in its sole and absolute discretion. If the reset interest rate for either Tranche A or Tranche B is unacceptable to us and we (i) do not have sufficient funds to repay amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, or (ii) are unable to refinance amounts due with respect to Tranche A or Tranche B on the Tranche A Reset Date or Tranche B Reset Date, in each case, as applicable, on terms more favorable than the reset interest rates, then, depending on the extent of the changes in the reset interest rates, our interest expense could increase materially.

The Mortgage Facility matures on March 1, 2023. Tranche A under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.63% per annum, payable monthly. As mentioned above, such interest rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on the Tranche A Reset Date. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $0.2 million commenced on June 1, 2008. Tranche B under the Mortgage Facility accrues interest, as reset on March 1, 2012, at a floating rate of the greater of (i) one month LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum or (ii) 5.00%, payable monthly (the “Floating Rate”). The margin on such Floating Rate may be reset by the Mortgage Lender on each Tranche B Reset Date; provided, however, that the Mortgage Lender may also change the underlying index on each Tranche B Reset Date occurring on or after March 1, 2016. Monthly principal payments in the amount of $0.1 million commenced on June 1, 2008. We do not currently anticipate that any change in the Floating Rate or the underlying index will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The terms of the Mortgage Facility contain covenants that require us to maintain a specified net worth of $110.0 million and maintain the Encumbered Properties. The Mortgage Facility was secured, in part, by the Old Elgin Site, that was sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. We obtained the consent of the Mortgage Lender prior to the sale of the Old Elgin Site. The Mortgage Lender is entitled to require immediate repayment of our obligations under the Mortgage Facility in the event we default in the payments required under the Mortgage Facility, non-compliance with the covenants or upon the occurrence of certain other defaults by us under the Mortgage Facility. As of December 26, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Mortgage Facility. We currently believe that we will be in compliance with the financial covenant in the Mortgage Facility for the foreseeable future and

therefore $20.2 million of Tranche A and $5.1 million of Tranche B has been classified as long-term debt which represents scheduled principal payments that are due at least twelve months beyond December 26, 2013. Prior to the sale of the assets at Old Elgin Site, all amounts outstanding under Tranche B were classified as short-term debt since the Mortgage Lender had the option, which was waived, to use proceeds of any sale of the real estate to reduce the amount outstanding under Tranche B.

Selma Property

In September 2006, we sold our Selma, Texas properties (the “Selma Properties”) to two related party partnerships for $14.3 million and are leasing them back. The selling price was determined by an independent appraiser to be the fair market value which also approximated our carrying value. The lease for the Selma Properties has a ten-year term at a fair market value rent with three five-year renewal options. Also, we currently have an option to purchase the Selma Properties from the partnerships at 95% (100% in certain circumstances) of the then fair market value, but not less than the original $14.3 million purchase price. The provisions of the arrangement are not eligible for sale-leaseback accounting and the $14.3 million was recorded as a debt obligation. No gain or loss was recorded on the Selma Properties transaction. As of December 26, 2013, $12.4 million of the debt obligation was outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The update requires presentation by the respective line items of net income, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, information about significant amounts required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in their entirety. For amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The update only affects the presentation of comprehensive income and does not impact what is included in comprehensive income, and therefore the adoption of this update did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
