U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs, and potential related actions by other countries are outside of our control and may affect our results of operations. Recently, the United States announced tariffs on imports from a broad range of countries which we anticipate will cause inflationary pressures, possible retaliatory tariffs and higher costs on certain of our raw materials and packaging imported from the affected countries.

Risks Relating to Pandemics, Epidemics, or Other Disease Outbreaks Pandemics, epidemics, or other disease outbreaks could significantly change consumption patterns for our products. These changes could force us to rapidly adapt to those new patterns, and, if we do not, our business could be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, pandemics, epidemics or other disease outbreaks may depress or otherwise impact demand for our products because quarantines may inhibit consumption or as the result of other factors.consumption. Restrictions on public gatherings or interactions may also limit the opportunity for our customers and consumers to purchase our products, especially in certain of our sales channels, such as food service. Any economic downturn caused by any pandemic, epidemic, or other disease outbreak may also cause substantial changes in consumer behavior and our supply chain operations, some of which may materially affect our operations and results of operations.

Added

Federal or state actions targeting specific food ingredients (including bans or phase-outs of certain dyes, preservatives or processing aids) – or actions that incentivize removal of those ingredients – could require us to reformulate existing products, incur higher ingredient or manufacturing costs, reduce shelf life, or change product functionality and taste. These changes could result in lost sales, customer dissatisfaction, increased recall risk or material expenses. Further, new rules requiring front-of-pack nutrition labels, warnings, or expanded ingredient disclosures may require redesign of packaging, increase unit costs, and influence consumer purchase decisions. These requirements may restrict certain claims we make and could lead to product delisting or store exclusion in some channels.

Added

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by changes in consumer behavior arising from the increased use of prescription weight-loss therapies, including GLP-1 and related drugs. These therapies can suppress appetite and change food preferences and consumption patterns, which could reduce demand for food categories we sell. This reduction in demand could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects.

Risks Relating to Gerald B. Shreiber

Removed

Gerald B. Shreiber is the founder and a Director of the Company. He is currently beneficial owner of approximately 20% of its outstanding common stock, held in a trust for his benefit. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides Mr. Shreiber with certain special voting rights with respect to any matters to be voted on by the Board of Directors. As a result, as of the date of this Report, Mr. Shreiber is entitled to cast six (6) votes on all matters upon which the Board of Directors is entitled to vote.

Risks Associated with our Identified Material Weakness in our Internal Control over Financial Reporting As described in Part II, Item 9A – Controls and Procedures, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to ineffective information technology general controls (ITGCs), including certain controls over logical access and change management. As a result, certain business process controls that are dependent on the ineffective ITGCs, or rely on the data produced from systems impacted by the ineffective ITGCs, were also deemed ineffective. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.

Removed

We are in the process of developing and implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness. If our remediation efforts are insufficient or if additional material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to revise or restate our financial results, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, restrict our ability to access the capital markets, require us to expend significant resources to correct the material weakness, subject us to fines, penalties or judgments, harm our reputation, adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, or otherwise cause a decline in investor confidence.

Added

In fiscal year 2025, we encountered significant headwinds associated with certain cost inputs, most notably, rising cocoa costs. Record high cocoa costs were fueled by supply deficits, led by significant production declines among the largest producers. Despite an anticipated supply recovery, cocoa market prices continued to remain volatile, and touched record highs in fiscal 2025. These rising costs pressured margins, primarily during the first half of our fiscal year, as they outweighed pricing actions up to that point in time.

Added

While overall packaging and raw material inflation, inclusive of the cocoa market, appears to be moderating for fiscal 2026, uncertainty within the supply chain surrounding impacts from the U.S. government’s tariffs on imports could be a potential headwind for the Company in fiscal 2026. Tariffs may increase the cost of certain raw materials and packaging that we use in our business, and our financial performance may be adversely impacted if we are unable to pass on the cost increases in the form of price increases to our customers. Additionally, the ultimate impact of tariffs may be difficult to predict as tariff rates and duration remain uncertain, which can make our planning process more challenging.

Reworded

To help combat these potential headwinds, we strategically lookcontinue to improve ourpursue operational efficiencies and margins,improvements, as well as expand our growth opportunities across our various channels and customers. Some recent examples of implementing these strategies include:

Added

The above-referenced Project Apollo is expected to generate at least $20 million of run-rate operating income for the initiatives that are expected to be implemented by fiscal 2026. The initial focus of the project is the consolidation and optimization of our manufacturing network. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we announced the closure of two manufacturing facilities, our plant in Holly Ridge, North Carolina, and our plant in Atlanta, Georgia. In October 2025, we subsequently announced the closure of a third manufacturing facility, our plant in Colton, California. Production from these facilities will either be consolidated into various other facilities across our network, or it will be discontinued as part of our ongoing sales portfolio optimization. This consolidation was enabled by the investments we have made in our plants to modernize and expand capacity for our core products, as well as our investments made to build out our three regional distribution centers. In connection with the closing of our three facilities, we recorded plant closure costs of approximately $24 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which primarily related to non-cash write-downs and write-offs related to inventory and to property, plant and equipment, as well as severance and benefit costs. We expect to continue to incur non-recurring costs related to this optimization of our manufacturing network into fiscal 2026.

Added

In addition to plant consolidation, as part of the first phase of Project Apollo, we are expecting to optimally reposition production within our network, which we are expecting to generate additional freight savings in fiscal 2026 and beyond, and to streamline our corporate functions, which is expected to generate general and administrative expense savings in fiscal 2026 and beyond.

Fiscal Year 2024 (52 weeks)2025 Compared to Fiscal Year 2023 (53 weeks)2024

Added

Net sales increased by $8.5 million, or 1%, to $1,583.2 million in fiscal 2025, with the increase led by sales growth in our foodservice segment, somewhat offset by a decrease in our retail supermarket segment.

Removed

Net sales increased by $15.9 million, or 1%, to $1,574.8 million in fiscal 2024. Despite the headwind of the comparative extra week in fiscal 2023, organic sales growth was driven by growth across all three of the Company’s business segments. The organic sales growth was largely driven by improved marketing, new customers, and additional product placement.

Added

Gross profit decreased by $16.3 million, or 3%, to $469.8 million in fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 29.7% in fiscal 2025 from 30.9% in fiscal 2024. This decrease primarily reflected the negative margin impacts from comparatively rising raw material costs and other inflationary pressures that had outweighed pricing actions through the first half of our fiscal year. Additionally, the loss of some limited time offer churro volumes from prior year, the impact of mix and foreign exchange related headwinds in our frozen beverages segment, and mix changes within our bakery business negatively impacted current period gross profit when compared to prior year.

Removed

Gross profit increased by $16.3 million, or 4%, to $486.1 million in fiscal 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 30.9% in fiscal 2024 from 30.1% in fiscal 2023. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was driven by enhanced production efficiencies and a better product mix, along with the continued stabilization of inflationary pressures. The cost of key ingredients including flour, oils, cheese and dairy, mixes and eggs either declined, or remained materially flat, though some increases were seen in certain ingredients, with the largest being cocoa, and to a lesser extent, sugar/sweeteners, and meats. The increases in cocoa negatively impact margins on certain products, the largest being baked goods.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and Frozen Beverages reviews monthly detailed operating income statements and sales reports in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment. Sales and operating income are the key variables monitored by the Chief Operating Decision Maker and management when determining each segment’ssegment and the Company’s financial condition and operating performance. In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews and evaluates depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment.

Added

To align with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker currently reviews the monthly detailed operating income statements, we have reclassified certain corporate expenses that are not allocated to our three reportable segments.

Our products are generally sold for discretionary consumption. Our results are impacted by macroeconomic and demographic trends and changes in consumer behavior. The U.S. economy has experienced economic volatility and uncertainty in recent years, which has had, and we expect might continue to have, an impact on consumer behavior. Consumer spending may continue to be impacted by levels of discretionary income and the impact of that on the consumer’s decisions makingdecision-making around their purchases. In addition, inflation continues to impact our business and fluctuating raw material input costs may continue to impact the cost of our products.

Tariffs and elevated fuel and freight costs may increase the cost of certain raw materials and packaging that we use in our business, as well as increase our distribution costs, and our financial performance may be adversely impacted if we are unable to pass on the cost increases in the form of price increases to our customers. Additionally, the ultimate impact of tariffs may be difficult to predict as tariff rates and duration remain uncertain, which can make our planning process more challenging.
