The severity,

Change in Accounting Principle
Effective

the
 
Company
 
adopted
 
ASU

Financial
 
Instruments
 
 
Credit
 
Losses
 
(Topic
 
326),
 
which
 
is
intended
 
to
 
improve
 
financial
 
reporting
 
by
 
requiring
 
more
 
timely
 
recording
 
of
 
credit
 
losses
 
on
 
loans
 
and
 
other
 
financial
instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations.
The guidance replaces the prior “incurred loss” approach with
an “expected
 
loss” model and
 
and requires
measurement of
 
all expected credit
 
credit losses for
 
for financial
assets held
 
at the
 
reporting date
based
 
on
 
historical
 
experience,
 
current
 
conditions,
 
and
 
reasonable
 
and
 
supportable
 
forecasts.
 
The
 
Company
 
adopted
 
the
guidance on
 
a modified

The

Immaterial Error Correction
Effective
on
May
30,
2021,
the
Company
acquired
the
remaining
50
%
membership
interest
in
Red
River
Valley
Egg
Farm,
LLC (“Red
River”), including
certain liabilities.
During the
Company’s
third quarter
of fiscal
2022, management
determined
that
it
had
not
properly
eliminated
select
intercompany
sales
and
cost
of
sales
transactions
between
Red
River
and
the
corresponding other
wholly-owned subsidiaries
of the
Company in
its first
and second
quarter 2022
Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income. The errors resulted in
an overstatement of Net Sales and Cost
of Sales of $
6.7
million in the first quarter
of
fiscal
2022
and
$
9.2
million
in
the
second
quarter
of
fiscal
2022.
There
was
0
impact
to
Operating
income
(loss),
Net
income (loss) or Net income (loss) per share.
We
evaluated
the
errors
quantitatively
and
qualitatively
in
accordance
with
Staff
Accounting
Bulletin
("SAB") No. 99 Materiality, and
SAB No. 108 Considering
the
Effects
of
Prior
Year
Misstatements
when
Quantifying
Misstatements
in
the
Current
Year
Financial
Statements, and
determined
that
the
related
impact
was not material
to
our
condensed consolidated
financial statements
for the
first or
second quarters
of fiscal
2022, but
that correcting
the cumulative
impact
of
the
errors
would
be
relevant
to
our
Condensed
Consolidated
Statements
of
Income
for
the third
quarter
ended February 26, 2022. Accordingly, we have reflected the correction of the immaterial errors as a reduction of Net Sales and
Cost of Sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the thirty-nine weeks ended February 26,
2022.

Note 4 - Fair Value
Measurements
The Company
 
is required
 
to categorize
 
both financial
 
and nonfinancial
 
assets and
 
liabilities based
 
on the
 
following fair
 
value
hierarchy. The
 
fair value
 
of an
 
asset is
 
the price
 
at which
 
the asset
 
could be
 
sold in
 
an orderly
 
transaction between
 
unrelated,
knowledgeable, and willing
parties able to engage in the
 
the transaction. A liability’s fair value
 
fair value is defined
as the amount that would
be
paid
 
to
transfer
 
the
liability
 
to
a
 
new
obligor
 
in
a
 
transaction
between
 
such
parties,
 
not
 
the
amount
 
that
would
 
be paid
 
to
settle the liability with the creditor.

either
directly or indirectly,
including:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Inputs derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market
data
Level 3
 
- Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are
supported by little or no market activity and that
are
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
The disclosures of fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities that are recorded
at cost are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
and accounts payable:
 
The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the
short maturity of these instruments.
Lease obligations:
 
The carrying value of the Company’s lease obligations
is at its present value which approximates fair value.

Note 7 – Credit Facility
On November
15, 2021,
we entered
into an
Amended and
Restated Credit
Agreement (the
“Credit Agreement”)
with a
five
-
year
term.
The
Credit
Agreement
amended
and
restated
the
Company’s
previously
existing
credit
agreement
dated
July
10,
2018.
The
Credit
Agreement
provides
for
an
increased
senior
secured
revolving
credit
facility
(the
“Credit
Facility”
or
“Revolver”),
in
an
initial
aggregate
principal
amount
of
up
to
$
250
million,
which
includes
a
$
15
million
sublimit
for
the
13
issuance
of
standby
letters
of
credit
and
a
$
15
million
sublimit
for
swingline
loans.
The
Credit
Facility
also
includes
an
accordion
feature
permitting,
with
the
consent
of
BMO
Harris
Bank
N.A.
(the
“Administrative
Agent”),
an
increase
in
the
Credit Facility in
the aggregate up
to $
200
million by
adding one or
more incremental senior
secured term loans
or increasing
one or more times
the revolving commitments under
the Revolver.
As of February 26,
2022,
0
amounts were borrowed under
the Credit Facility and $
4.1
million in standby letters of credit were issued under the Credit Facility.
The
interest
rate
in
connection
with
loans
made
under
the
Credit
Facility
is
based
on,
at
the
Company’s
election,
either
the
Eurodollar Rate
plus
the Applicable
Margin
or
the
Base Rate
plus
the Applicable
Margin.
The “Eurodollar
Rate” means
the
reserve adjusted rate
at which Eurodollar
deposits in the
London interbank market
for an interest
period of
one
,
two
,
three
,
six
or
twelve
months (as
selected by
the Company)
are quoted.
The “Base
Rate” means
a fluctuating
rate per
annum equal
to the
highest
of
(a)
the
federal
funds
rate
plus
0.50
%
per
annum,
(b)
the
prime
rate
of
interest
established
by
the
Administrative
Agent, and (c) the Eurodollar Rate for an interest period of
one
month plus
1
% per annum, subject to certain interest rate floors.
The
“Applicable
Margin”
means
0.00
%
to
0.75
%
per
annum
for
Base
Rate
Loans
and
1.00
%
to
1.75
%
per
annum
for
Eurodollar
Rate
Loans,
in
each
case
depending
upon
the
Total
Funded
Debt
to
Capitalization Ratio
for
the
Company
at
the
quarterly pricing date.
The Company will
pay a commitment
fee on the
unused portion of
the Credit Facility
payable quarterly
from
0.15
%
to
0.25
%
in
each
case
depending
upon
the
Total
Funded
Debt
to
Capitalization
Ratio
for
the
Company
at
the
quarterly pricing date. The Credit Agreement contains customary provisions regarding replacement of the Eurodollar Rate.
The
Credit Facility
is
guaranteed by
all the
current and
future wholly-owned
direct and
indirect domestic
subsidiaries of
the
Company (the “Guarantors”),
and is secured
by a first-priority
perfected security interest
in substantially all
of the Company’s
and
the
Guarantors’
accounts,
payment
intangibles,
instruments
(including
promissory
notes),
chattel
paper,
inventory
(including farm products) and deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent.
The Credit
Agreement for
the Credit
Facility contains
customary covenants,
including restrictions
on the
incurrence of
liens,
incurrence of additional
debt, sales of
assets and other
fundamental corporate changes
and investments. The
Credit Agreement
requires maintenance of
two financial covenants:
(i) a maximum
Total
Funded Debt to
Capitalization Ratio tested
quarterly of
no greater than
50
%; and (ii) a requirement to maintain Minimum Tangible
Net Worth
at all times of $
700
Million plus
50
% of
net
income
(if
net
income
is
positive)
less
permitted
restricted
payments
for
each
fiscal
quarter
after
November
27,
2021.
Additionally, the
Credit Agreement requires that Fred
R. Adams Jr.’s
spouse, natural children, sons-in-law or grandchildren,
or
any trust, guardianship,
conservatorship or custodianship for
the primary benefit of
any of the
foregoing, or any
family limited
partnership, similar limited liability company or other entity
that
100
% of the voting control of such
entity is held by any of the
foregoing, shall maintain at least
50
% of the Company's voting
stock. Failure to satisfy any
of these covenants will constitute
a
default under the terms of the Credit Agreement. Further, under
the terms of the Credit Agreement, payment of dividends under
the
Company's
current
dividend
policy
of
one-third
of
the
Company's
net
income
computed
in
accordance
with
GAAP
and
payment of other dividends or
repurchases by the Company of
its capital stock is allowed,
as long as after giving
effect to such
dividend payments
or repurchases
no default
has occurred
and is
continuing and
the sum
of cash
and cash
equivalents of
the
Company and its subsidiaries plus availability under the Credit Facility equals at least $
50
million.
The Credit
Agreement also
includes customary
events of
default and
customary remedies
upon the
occurrence of
an event
of
default, including acceleration of the amounts
due under the Credit Facility and
foreclosure of the collateral securing the
Credit
Facility.
At February 26, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenant requirements of the Credit Facility.

on August 26, 2021, the
court, by
docket entry, informed
the parties that the need to discuss issues was no longer
necessary and that a scheduled August 30, 2021,
status hearing was stricken. No trial schedule has yet been entered by the
court.
In addition,
 
on October
 
24, 2019,
 
the Company
 
entered into
 
a confidential
 
settlement agreement
 
with The
 
Kellogg Company
dismissing
 
all
 
claims
 
against
 
the
 
Company
 
for
 
an

The Company intends to
continue to defend the remaining
case with the Egg Products Plaintiffs
 
as vigorously as possible based
on
 
defenses

the
 
Company
 
believes
 
are

it is not

Specialty shell
 
eggs have

a significant

Retail
 
sales
 
of
 
shell
 
eggs
 
historically
 
have
 
been
 
highest
 
during
 
the
 
fall
 
and
 
winter
 
months
 
and
 
lowest
 
during
 
the
 
summer
months. Prices
 
for shell
 
eggs fluctuate
 
in response
 
to seasonal
 
demand factors
 
and a
 
natural increase
 
in egg
 
production during
the
 
spring
 
and
 
early
 
summer.
 
Historically,
 
shell
 
egg
 
prices
 
tend
 
to
 
increase
 
with
 
the
 
start
 
of
 
the

tend
 
to
 
be

prior

periods,
 
particularly
 
Thanksgiving,
 
Christmas
 
and
 
Easter.
 
Consequently,
 
and
 
all
 
other
 
things
 
being
equal, we would expect to
 
expect to experience
lower selling prices, sales volumes

We
are
closely
monitoring the
recently reported
outbreaks of
highly pathogenic
avian influenza
(“HPAI”).
According
to
the
U.S.
Centers for
Disease Control
and Prevention,
these detections
.
There
have been no positive tests for HPAI
at any Cal-Maine Foods’ owned or contracted production facility to date. As
of March 28,
2022, the USDA
division of Animal
and Plant Health
Inspection Service (“APHIS”),
reported that approximately
11.5 million
commercial layer
hens or
about 3.6%
of the
table egg
layer flock
based on
February 2022
reported layer
numbers, have
been
depopulated due to
HPAI.
Pullets impacted comprise
approximately 830,000, or
about 0.7 percent
of the February
2022 pullet
inventory. We
believe we have implemented and continue to maintain robust biosecurity programs across our
locations. We are
also working
closely with
federal, state
and local
government officials
and focused
industry groups to
mitigate the
risk of
this
and future outbreaks and effectively manage our response, if needed.
Our farm production costs
per dozen produced for
the third quarter of
fiscal 2022 increased 16.9%,
or $0.132, compared to
the
third quarter
of fiscal
2021. This
increase was
primarily due
to increased
prices for
feed ingredients.
For the
third quarter
of
fiscal 2022, the average
Chicago Board of Trade
(“CBOT”) daily market price
was $6.13 per
bushel for corn and
$412 per ton
for soybean meal, representing an increase of 23.5% and a decrease of 2.5%, respectively, compared to the average daily CBOT
prices for
the comparable
period in
the prior
year.
Other farm
production
costs for
the third
quarter of
fiscal 2022
increased
11.8% versus the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, driven by higher flock amortization and facility expense.

The project is designed
to include the construction of
two cage-free layer houses and one cage-free
pullet house with capacity for approximately 400,000

Shell egg net sales
-Third Quarter – Fiscal 2022 vs. Fiscal 2021
-
In
 
the
 
firstthird
 
quarter of
fiscal 2022,
conventional
egg
sales
increased
$77.4
million,
or
38.1%,
compared
to
the
third
quarter of fiscal
2021, primarily due
to the increase
in price for
conventional shell eggs,
partially offset
by a decrease
in volume
of conventional
eggs sold.
Changes in
price resulted
in a
$88.0 million
increase and
the change
in volume
resulted in a $10.6 million decrease in net sales, respectively.
-
We believe prices for conventional eggs were positively impacted by a better alignment of the conventional production
layer
hen
flock
and
customer
and
consumer
demand.
According
to
reports
from
the
USDA,
the
average
number
of
hens producing
white and
brown conventional
eggs for
February 2022
decreased 31.7
million, or
13.1%, versus
the
prior-year
comparable period.
USDA Agriculture
Marketing
Service reported
shell
eggs
broken for
foodservice and
further processing
increased 7.9% compared
to the
comparable prior-year
period. We
believe lower
conventional egg
prices in the prior-year period were primarily tied to a surplus of conventional eggs entering the retail channel from the
foodservice channel exceeding demand during this phase of the pandemic.
-
Conventional
egg
volume
sales
decreased
5.2%.
We
believe
many
consumers
have
evolved
their
preferences
to
purchase higher-priced specialty eggs for at-home meal preparation due to the perceived health and
welfare benefits of
specialty eggs, various state laws
mandating the sale of cage-free
and the public commitments by
most retailers to sell
more cage-free
products. Per
Information Resources,
Inc. (“IRI”),
Total

conventional white

decreased
13.7%
during

-
Specialty egg sales increased
$37.7 million, or 26.0%,
in the third quarter
of fiscal 2022 compared
to the third quarter
of
fiscal
2021,
primarily
due
to
a
24.1%
increase
in
the
volume
 
of
 
specialty
eggs
sold,
which
resulted
in
a
$35.0
million increase in
net sales. Per
IRI, Total
US – Multi
Outlet for the
latest 13 weeks
ended February 27,
2022, cage-
free eggs
dozens sold
(including free-range,
pasture-raised and
organic) increased
21.3%. We
believe this
increase in
26
demand is due
to California’s
cage-free mandate going
into-effect January
1, 2022,
as well
as more retailers’
shifting
to selling more cage-free products.
-
Our specialty egg
sales in
the third quarter
of fiscal
2022 versus
the prior-year
period benefitted from
our acquisition
of
the remaining
50% membership
interest in
Red River,
which helped
drive our
cage-free egg
sales. Our
cage-free
sales
also
benefitted
from
our
continued
investment
in
expanded
cage-free
capabilities
as
additional
cage-free
production capacity came online during the quarter. Cage-free egg sales for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal
2022 were 22.3%, 22.4% and 24.1% of our total net shell egg sales, respectively.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended February 26, 2022,
$20.8 million in net cash was provided by
operating activities, compared to
$14.7 million provided
by operating activities
for the comparable
period in fiscal
2021. This is
primarily due to
the higher egg
prices partially offset by increased costs of feed ingredients compared to the prior-year period.
We
continue to
invest in
our facilities,
with $49.2
million used
to purchase
property,
plant and

an effort
 
to achieve
 
a
smooth transition to meet their
 
meet their announced

We believe our
current cash balances, investments, cash flows from operations, and Revolving Credit Facility
will be sufficient
to fund our
current capital needs. As we monitor the demand for cage-free
 
eggs and our growth strategy described in Part I Item
I “Business – Growth Strategy” in our 2021 Annual Report,
there may be a need for long-term debt financing. We
believe withIndex
our strong balance sheet that we will have adequate access to capital markets if that need
arises.
