Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The

unaudited

condensed

consolidated

financial

statements

Cal-Maine

Foods,

Inc.

and

its

subsidiaries

(the

“Company,”

“we,” “us,” “our”)

have been prepared

in accordance with

the instructions to

Form 10-Q and

Article 10 of

Regulation S-X and

accordance

with generally

accepted

accounting

principles in

the

United

States of

America

(“GAAP”)

for

interim

financial

reporting and

should be

read in

conjunction with

our Annual

Report on

Form 10-K

for the fiscal

year ended

June 1,

2024 (the

“2024

Annual

Report”).

These

statements

reflect

all

adjustments

that

are,

the

opinion

management,

necessary

fair

statement of the results for

the interim periods presented

and, in the opinion of

management, consist of adjustments

of a normal

recurring nature.

Operating results for

the interim periods

are not necessarily

indicative of operating

results for the

entire fiscal

year.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s

fiscal year ends on

the Saturday closest to

May 31. Each of

the three-month periods

ended on August 31, 2024

and September 2, 2023 included

13 weeks

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the

consolidated financial statements in

conformity with GAAP requires management

to make estimates and

assumptions

that affect

the amounts

reported in

the consolidated

financial statements

and accompanying

notes. Actual

results

could differ from those estimates.

Investment Securities

Available-for-Sale

The Company

has determined

that its

debt securities

are available-for-sale

investments. We

classify these

securities as

current

because the

amounts invested

are available

for current

operations. Available

-for-sale

securities are

carried at

fair value,

based

on quoted market prices

as of the balance sheet

date, with unrealized gains

and losses recorded in other

comprehensive income.

The

amortized

cost

debt

securities

adjusted

for

amortization

premiums

and

accretion

discounts

maturity

and

recorded in interest

income. The Company regularly

evaluates changes to the

rating of its debt

securities by credit agencies

and

economic conditions

to assess and

record any

expected credit

losses through

allowance for

credit losses,

limited to

the amount

that fair value was less than the amortized cost basis.

The cost

basis for

realized gains

and losses

on available-for-sale

securities is

determined by

the specific

identification method.

Gains

and

losses

are

recognized

other

income

(expenses)

Other,

net

the

Company’s

Condensed

Consolidated

Statements of Income. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale

are recorded in interest income.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables

are stated at

their carrying

values, which

include a reserve

for credit losses.

As of August

31, 2024

and June

2024,

reserves

for

credit

losses

were

716

thousand

and

490

thousand,

respectively.

The

Company

extends

credit

customers based on

an evaluation of each

customer’s financial condition

and credit history.

Collateral is generally

Dividends Payable

accrue dividends at

the end of

each quarter according

to the Company’s

dividend policy adopted

by its Board

of Directors.

The Company

pays a dividend

to shareholders

of its Common

Stock and

Class A Common

Stock on

a quarterly

basis for each

quarter for

which the

Company reports

net income

attributable to

Cal-Maine Foods,

Inc. computed

in accordance

with GAAP

in an amount

equal to one-third

(1/3) of such

quarterly income. Dividends

are paid to

shareholders of record

as of the 60th

day

following the

last day

of such quarter,

except for

the fourth fiscal

quarter.

For the

fourth quarter,

the Company

pays dividends

to shareholders of record on the 65th day after the

quarter end. Dividends are payable on the 15th day following

the record date.

Index

Following a quarter for which the Company does not report net income

attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., the Company will

not pay a dividend

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.

The dividend policy is subject to

periodic review by the Board of

Directors.

Revenue Recognition

The

Company

recognizes

revenue

through

sale of

its products

customers

through

retail, foodservice

and

other

distribution

channels.

The

majority

the

Company’s

revenue

derived

from

agreements

contracts

with

customers

based

upon

the

customer

ordering

its

products

with

single

performance

obligation

delivering

the

product.

The

Company

believes

the

performance

obligation

met

upon

delivery

and

acceptance

product

customers,

which

generally

occurs

upon

shipment

customer

based

terms

the

sale.

Costs

paid

third

party

brokers

agreements

are

expensed as the Company’s

agreements are generally less than one year.

Revenues are

recognized in

an amount

that reflects

the net

consideration we

expect to

receive in

exchange for

delivery of

the

products.

The

Company

periodically

offers

sales

incentives

other

programs

such

rebates,

discounts,

coupons,

volume-

based incentives,

guaranteed sales and

other programs.

The Company

records an estimated

allowance for costs

associated with

these programs, which

is recorded as a

reduction in revenue at

the time of sale

using historical trends

and projected redemption

rates

each

program.

The

Company

regularly

reviews

these

estimates

and

any

difference

between

the

estimated

costs

and

actual realization of these programs would be recognized the subsequent

period.

Business Combinations

The Company applies the acquisition

method of accounting, which

requires that once control is obtained,

all the assets acquired

and liabilities assumed,

including amounts

attributable to noncontrolling

interests, are recorded

at their respective

fair values at

the date of acquisition. We

determine the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities

internally,

which requires estimates and

the

use

various

valuation

techniques.

When

market

value

readily

available,

our

internal

valuation

methodology

considers the remaining estimated life of the assets acquired and what

management believes is the market value for those assets.

assets

cash

flows,

of identifiable assets and

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 transaction. A liability’s

fair value is defined

as the amount that would

paid

transfer

the

liability

new

obligor

transaction

between

such

parties,

not

the

amount

that

would

be paid

settle the liability with the creditor.

•

Level 1

- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

•

Level 2

- Inputs

other than

quoted

prices included

in Level

1 that

are observable

for the

asset or

liability,

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

excessive

exorbitant

prices

during

the

COVID-19

state

emergency

and

made

permanent

injunctions

against

the

Company

and

WCF

prevent

further

alleged

Kraft Foods Global, Inc. et al. v.

United Egg Producers, Inc. et al.

As previously

reported, on

September 25,

2008, the

Company

was named

as one

of several

defendants

in numerous

antitrust

cases involving

the United

States shell

egg

industry.

The Company

settled all

of these

cases, except

for

the claims

of certain

plaintiffs who sought substantial

damages allegedly arising from

the purchase of egg products (as

opposed to shell eggs). These

remaining plaintiffs

are Kraft Food

Global, Inc.,

General Mills, Inc.,

and Nestle USA,

Inc. (the

“Egg Products

Plaintiffs”) and,

until a subsequent settlement was reached as described below,

The Kellogg Company.

On September

13, 2019,

the case

with the

Egg Products

Plaintiffs was

remanded from

particular,

the

Egg

Products

Plaintiffs

attacked

certain features of

the United Egg

Producers animal-welfare guidelines

and program used by

the Company and

many other egg

producers.

On October 24, 2019,

the Company entered into

a confidential settlement agreement

with The Kellogg Company

dismissing all

claims against the

Company for an

amount that did

not have a

material impact on

the Company’s

financial condition or

results

of operations.

On November

11,

2019, a

stipulation

for dismissal

was filed

with the

court, and

on March

28, 2022,

the court

dismissed the Company with prejudice.

The trial of this case began

on October 17, 2023. On December

1, 2023, the jury returned a decision

awarding the Egg Products

Plaintiffs

17.8

million

in damages.

If the

jury’s

decision

is ultimately

upheld,

the defendants

would

be jointly

liable

for

decision is

not

our second fiscal quarter of 2024, we recorded an accrued expense

19.6

based on

the outcome

of those discussions.

Our accrual may

also be revised

in whole or

in part in

the future to

the extent we

are successful in

further

proceedings in the

litigation.

On November 29, 2023,

the defendants, including

the Company,

filed a motion for

judgment as a

matter of

law in

their favor,

known as

a directed

verdict, notwithstanding

the jury’s

decision. The

court denied

this motion

September

30, 2024.

The Company

is evaluating

intends to

continue

to vigorously

potential

associated with injunctive

relief or other penalties

based on a decision

in a case tried over

14 years ago based

on environmental

conditions that existed at the

time, the lack of guidance from

the court as to what might

be considered appropriate remedies,

the

ongoing litigation with the State

of Oklahoma, and uncertainty regarding

what our proportionate share of any

remedy would be,

although we believe that our share compared to the other defendants is small.

Other Matters

In addition to

the above, the Company

is involved in

various other claims

and litigation incidental

to its business. Although

the

outcome of

these matters

cannot be

determined with

certainty,

management, upon

the advice

of counsel,

is of

the opinion

that

the final outcome should not have a material effect on the Company’s

consolidated results of operations or financial position.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

For the first quarter of

fiscal 2025, we recorded a gross

profit of $247.2 million, compared

to $45.4 million, for the

same period

of fiscal 2024,

primarily driven by an increase in the net average selling price

of shell eggs as well as an increase in total dozens

sold. In the first

quarter of fiscal 2025,

we sold a record

amount of total shell eggs

and specialty shell eggs,

reflecting favorable

demand for

shell eggs during

most of the

quarter.

Our results were

also positively

impacted by

lower feed costs

and our recent

acquisitions discussed above.

Our

net

average

selling

price

per

dozen

for

the

first

quarter

fiscal

2025

was

$2.392

compared

$1.589

the

prior-year

period. Conventional

egg prices

per dozen

were $2.424

compared to

$1.241 for

the prior-year

period, and

specialty egg

prices

per dozen were $2.335

compared to $2.278 for the

prior-year period. Egg

prices in the first quarter

of fiscal 2025 were elevated

compared

to the

prior-year

period

primarily

due

the resurgence

HPAI

outbreaks,

which

decreased

supply,

among

other

factors.

According

USDA,

the

monthly

average

size

the

layer

hen

flock

from

June

through

August

(which

most

closely aligns with

our first fiscal quarter)

2024 was approximately

305 million hens,

which was a decrease

of 9 million layers

or 2.9%,

compared to

the same

period in

the prior

year.

Our farm

production costs

per dozen

of fiscal

2025 decreased

First Quarter – Fiscal 2025

vs. Fiscal 2024

In the

of fiscal

2025,

conventional

increased

$259.5 million,

or 115.2%,

compared to

the first

quarter

fiscal

2024,

primarily

due

95.3%

increase

the

prices

for

conventional

eggs,

which

resulted

$236.6 million increase in

net sales, and a 10.2%

increase in the volume of

conventional eggs sold, which resulted

in a

$22.9

million

increase

net

sales.

Results

for

the

first

2025

were

impacted

our

recent

acquisitions discussed above.

Specialty egg sales increased $48.1 million, or

23.0%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared

to the first quarter of

fiscal 2024, primarily

due to an 20.1%

increase in the volume

of specialty eggs

sold, which resulted in

a $41.9 million

increase in

net sales

and a

2.5% increase

in prices

for specialty

in net

sales.

Demand

volume benefited

as we sold

20.1% more

the first quarter

of fiscal 2025

versus the prior-

year period. Additionally,

demand continues to be impacted by

cage-free requirements becoming effective

Farm Production

First Quarter – Fiscal 2025

vs. Fiscal 2024

Feed costs per dozen produced decreased 17.3% in the first quarter

of fiscal 2025

compared to the first quarter of fiscal

2024. This

decrease was

primarily due

to lower

prices for

corn and

soybean meal,

our primary

feed ingredients.

The

decrease

feed

cost

per

dozen

resulted

decrease

cost

sales of

$27.5

million

for

the

first

quarter

fiscal

2025

compared to the prior period quarter.

For the

first quarter

of fiscal

2025, the

average Chicago

Board of

Trade

(“CBOT”) daily

market price

was $4.03

per

bushel

for

corn

and

$340

per

ton

soybean

meal,

representing

decreases

24.0%

and

19.5%,

respectively,

compared to the average CBOT daily market prices for the first quarter

of fiscal 2024.

Other farm

production costs decreased

primarily due

to lower flock

amortization. Feed

costs reached their

peak in the

second quarter

of fiscal

2023 and

have since

trended downward.

Lower costs

result in

lower capitalized

values of

the

flocks during the grow out phase, which reduced amortization cost over time.

ratio

implying

the

near

term;

however, as long

as outside factors remain uncertain

(including weather patterns and

global supply chain disruptions), volatility

could remain.

Processing, packaging, and warehouse

First Quarter – Fiscal 2025

vs. Fiscal 2024

Processing, packaging, and warehouse costs increased 12.0

compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024

due to a 7.5%

increase in the volume of processed dozens as well as an increase in costs of packaging

materials.

Index

Egg purchases and other (including change in inventory)

First Quarter – Fiscal 2025

vs. Fiscal 2024

Costs in

this category

increased primarily

due to

higher shell

egg prices

as the

average cost

per dozen

of outside

egg

purchases

increased

71.5%

compared

first

quarter

fiscal

2024,

well

increase

67.5%

dozens

purchased due to the loss of

production caused by the HPAI

outbreaks

at our facilities in Kansas and Texas

in the third

and fourth quarters of fiscal 2024.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 31.5% for the first quarter

of fiscal 2025 compared to 9.9% for the same period of

fiscal 2024.

The increase was

primarily due to

higher net average

selling price as

well as lower

feed ingredient prices,

partially

offset by the increase in volume and price of outside egg purchases

Index

For the

first quarter

of fiscal

2025,

we earned

$9.9 million

of interest

income compared

to $7.5

million for

the same

period of

fiscal 2024,

primarily due to higher average

cash and cash equivalents and

investment securities available-for-sale balances

and

yields.

The

Company

recorded

interest

expense

$160

thousand

and

$142

thousand

for the

first

2024 and September 2, 2023, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

For the

first quarter

of fiscal

2025, our

pre-tax income

was $198.0

million, compared

to $733

thousand for

the first

quarter of

fiscal 2024.

Income tax

expense of

$48.4 million

was recorded

for first

quarter 2025

with an

effective

tax rate

of 24.4%.

For

first quarter 2024,

income tax expense

was $322 thousand

with an effective

tax rate of

43.9%. The higher

effective tax

rate for

first quarter

of fiscal

2024 is

primarily

due to

the loss

attributable

to our

noncontrolling interest.

Taxable

income for

the

first

quarter

of fiscal

2024

was $1.2

million

and

excludes

the

loss attributable

noncontrolling

interest

$515

thousand,

which

represents an effective tax rate of 25.7%.

Items causing

our effective

tax rate

to differ

from the

federal statutory

income tax

rate of

21% are

state income

taxes, certain

federal tax

credits and

certain items included

in income or

loss for financial

reporting purposes that

are not included

in taxable

income or

loss for income

tax purposes, including

tax exempt interest

income, certain

nondeductible expenses,

and net income

or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE

TO CAL-MAINE FOODS, INC.

Net income

attributable to

Cal-Maine Foods,

Inc. for

the first quarter

per diluted common

share, compared to

net income attributable

2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

RESOURCES

Working

Capital and Current Ratio

Our working capital was $1.0 billion

at both August 31, 2024 and June 1, 2024.

The calculation of working capital is defined

current

assets

less

current

liabilities.

Our

current

ratio

was

4.1

August

31,

2024,

compared

with

5.5

June

2024.

The

current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For

the thirteen

weeks

ended August

31, 2024,

$117.5

million

in net

cash

was

provided by

operating

activities,

compared

$23.7

million

provided

operating

activities

for

the

comparable

period

fiscal

2024.

The

increase

cash

flow

from

operating activities

resulted primarily

from higher

net average

selling prices

per dozen

as well

as a

decrease in

feed ingredient

costs compared to the prior-year period.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the thirteen

weeks ended August

31, 2024,

$135.9 million

was used in

investing activities, primarily

due to the

acquisition

assets

ISE,

and

purchases

property,

plant

and

equipment.

This

compares

$80.9

million

provided

investing

activities in

the same

period of

fiscal 2024,

primarily due

to sales and

maturities of

investment securities.

Sales and

maturities

of investment

securities were

$209.7 million

in first

quarter of

fiscal 2025

and purchases

of investment

securities were

$202.2

million during the period. Sales and maturities of investment

securities were $135.8 million in the first quarter fiscal

2024

while

purchases

investment

securities

were

$28.3

million

during

the

period.

The

increase

sales

and

maturities

investment

securities is primarily due

to the maturities of short-term

investments during first quarter 2025.

Purchases of property,

plant and

equipment were

$35.8 million

and $26.7

million in the

first quarters

of fiscal

2025 and

2024, respectively,

primarily reflecting

progress on our construction projects.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

paid dividends of $37.8

million for the thirteen

weeks ended August 31,

2024 compared to $37.0

million in the same

prior-

year period.

Index

As of

August 31,

2024,

cash decreased

$56.2 million

since June

1, 2024,

compared to

an increase

of $67.5

million during

the

same period

of fiscal

2024.

The decrease

is primarily

due

to the

acquisition

of assets

ISE during

the first

quarter of

fiscal

2025.

no long-term

debt outstanding

at August

31, 2024

Material Cash Requirements

Material cash

requirements for

operating activities

primarily consist

of feed

ingredients, processing,

packaging and

warehouse

costs, employee related

costs, and other

general operating expenses,

which we expect

to be paid

from our cash

from operations

and cash and

investment securities on

hand for at

least the next

12 months. While

volatile egg prices

and feed ingredient

costs,

among

other

things,

make

long-term

predictions

difficult,

have

substantial

liquid

assets

and

availability

under

our

Credit

Facility to fund future operating requirements.

Our material

cash requirements

for capital

expenditures consist

primarily of

our construction

projects to increase

our cage-free

production

capacity.

continue

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Aug. 31, 2024
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 1, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”). These statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and, in the opinion of management, consist of adjustments of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire fiscal year. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to May 31. Each of the three-month periods ended on August 31, 2024 and September 2, 2023 included 13 weeks . Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment Securities Available-for-Sale The Company has determined that its debt securities are available-for-sale investments. We classify these securities as current because the amounts invested are available for current operations. Available -for-sale securities are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity and is recorded in interest income. The Company regularly evaluates changes to the rating of its debt securities by credit agencies and economic conditions to assess and record any expected credit losses through allowance for credit losses, limited to the amount that fair value was less than the amortized cost basis. The cost basis for realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities is determined by the specific identification method. Gains and losses are recognized in other income (expenses) as Other, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded in interest income. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are stated at their carrying values, which include a reserve for credit losses. As of August 31, 2024 and June 1, 2024, reserves for credit losses were $ 716 thousand and $ 490 thousand, respectively. The Company extends credit to customers based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and credit history. Collateral is generally not required. The Company minimizes exposure to counter party credit risk through credit analysis and approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. In determining our reserve for credit losses, receivables are assigned an expected loss based on historical loss information adjusted as needed for economic and other forward-looking factors. Dividends Payable We accrue dividends at the end of each quarter according to the Company’s dividend policy adopted by its Board of Directors. The Company pays a dividend to shareholders of its Common Stock and Class A Common Stock on a quarterly basis for each quarter for which the Company reports net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. computed in accordance with GAAP in an amount equal to one-third (1/3) of such quarterly income. Dividends are paid to shareholders of record as of the 60th day following the last day of such quarter, except for the fourth fiscal quarter. For the fourth quarter, the Company pays dividends to shareholders of record on the 65th day after the quarter end. Dividends are payable on the 15th day following the record date. Following a quarter for which the Company does not report net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., the Company will not pay a dividend 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. The dividend policy is subject to periodic review by the Board of Directors. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue through sale of its products to customers through retail, foodservice and other distribution channels. The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from agreements or contracts with customers based upon the customer ordering its products with a single performance obligation of delivering the product. The Company believes the performance obligation is met upon delivery and acceptance of the product by our customers, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery to a customer based on terms of the sale. Costs paid to third party brokers to obtain agreements are expensed as the Company’s agreements are generally less than one year. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration we expect to receive in exchange for delivery of the products. The Company periodically offers sales incentives or other programs such as rebates, discounts, coupons, volume- based incentives, guaranteed sales and other programs. The Company records an estimated allowance for costs associated with these programs, which is recorded as a reduction in revenue at the time of sale using historical trends and projected redemption rates of each program. The Company regularly reviews these estimates and any difference between the estimated costs and actual realization of these programs would be recognized the subsequent period. Business Combinations The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. We determine the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities internally, which requires estimates and the use of various valuation techniques. When a market value is not readily available, our internal valuation methodology considers the remaining estimated life of the assets acquired and what management believes is the market value for those assets. We typically use the income method approach for intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates and useful lives. The excess of the purchase price over fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Loss Contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed. The Company expenses the costs of litigation as they are incurred. New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisition	Note 2 - Acquisition Effective June 28, 2024 , the Company acquired substantially all of the commercial shell egg production, processing and egg products breaking facilities of ISE America, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“ISE”). The assets acquired included commercial shell egg production and processing facilities with a capacity at the time of acquisition of approximately 4.7 million laying hens, including 1.0 million cage-free, and 1.2 million pullets, feed mills, approximately 4,000 acres of land, inventories and an egg products breaking facility. The acquired assets also include an extensive customer distribution network across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, and production operations in Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware and South Carolina. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination. Pending the finalization of the Company’s valuation, the following table summarizes the consideration paid for the ISE assets and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date (in thousands): Cash consideration paid $ 111,521 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed Inventories $ 20,547 Property, plant and equipment 90,572 Intangible assets 710 Liabilities assumed (308) Total identifiable net assets $ 111,521 Inventories consisted primarily of flock, feed ingredients, packaging, and egg inventory. Flock inventory was valued at carrying value as management believes that its carrying value best approximates its fair value. Feed ingredients, packaging and egg inventory were all valued based on market prices as of June 28, 2024. Property, plant and equipment were valued utilizing the cost approach which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the assets and subtracting any depreciation resulting from physical deterioration and/or functional or economic obsolescence. Intangible assets consisted primarily of customer lists acquired. Customers lists were valued using the income method approach.

Fair Value Measurements	Aug. 31, 2024
Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	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 transaction. A liability’s 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. • Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 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. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2024 and June 1, 2024 (in thousands): August 31, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Balance Assets Municipal bonds $ — $ 4,265 $ — $ 4,265 Commercial paper — 86,703 — 86,703 Corporate bonds — 288,930 — 288,930 Certificates of deposits — 5,097 — 5,097 US government and agency obligations — 148,392 — 148,392 Asset backed securities — 2,869 — 2,869 Treasury bills — 35,667 — 35,667 Total assets measured at fair value $ — $ 571,923 $ — $ 571,923 Liabilities Contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 6,500 $ 6,500 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ — $ 6,500 $ 6,500 June 1, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Balance Assets Municipal bonds $ — $ 4,059 $ — $ 4,059 Commercial paper — 137,735 — 137,735 Corporate bonds — 232,592 — 232,592 Certificates of deposits — 3,491 — 3,491 US government and agency obligations — 154,269 — 154,269 Asset backed securities — 3,124 — 3,124 Treasury bills — 39,229 — 39,229 Total assets measured at fair value $ — $ 574,499 $ — $ 574,499 Liabilities Contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 6,500 $ 6,500 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ — $ 6,500 $ 6,500 Investment securities – available-for-sale classified as Level 2 consist of securities with maturities of three months or longer when purchased. We classified these securities as current because amounts invested are readily available for current operations. Observable inputs for these securities are yields, credit risks, default rates, and volatility. Contingent consideration classified as Level 3 consists of the potential obligation to pay an earnout to the sellers of Fassio Egg Farms, Inc. contingent on the acquired business meeting certain return on profitability milestones over a three-year period, commencing on the date of the acquisition in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions and unobservable inputs that require significant judgement used in the estimate include weighted average cost of capital, egg prices, projected revenue and expenses over which the contingent considered is measured , and the probability assessments with respect to the likelihood of achieving the forecasted projections.

Commitments and Contingencies	Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies LEGAL PROCEEDINGS State of Texas v. Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. d/b/a Wharton; and Wharton County Foods, LLC On April 23, 2020, the Company and its subsidiary Wharton County Foods, LLC (“WCF”) were named as defendants in State of Texas v. Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. d/b/a Wharton; and Wharton County Foods, LLC, Cause No. 2020-25427, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas. The State of Texas (the “State”) asserted claims based on the Company’s and WCF’s alleged violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices—Consumer Protection Act, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §§ 17.41-17.63 (“DTPA”). The State claimed that the Company and WCF offered shell eggs at excessive or exorbitant prices during the COVID-19 state of emergency and made misleading statements about shell egg prices. The State sought temporary and permanent injunctions against the Company and WCF to prevent further alleged violations of the DTPA, along with over $ 100,000 in damages. On August 13, 2020, the court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the State’s original petition with prejudice. On September 11, 2020, the State filed a notice of appeal, which was assigned to the Texas Court of Appeals for the First District. On August 16, 2022, the appeals court reversed and remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings. On October 31, 2022, the Company and WCF appealed the First District Court’s decision to the Supreme Court of Texas. On September 29, 2023, the Supreme Court of Texas denied the Company’s Petition for Review and remanded to the trial court for further proceedings. The district court entered a pre-trial order scheduling pre-trial proceedings and tentatively setting a trial date for August 11, 2025. Management believes the risk of material loss related to this matter to be remote. Kraft Foods Global, Inc. et al. v. United Egg Producers, Inc. et al. As previously reported, on September 25, 2008, the Company was named as one of several defendants in numerous antitrust cases involving the United States shell egg industry. The Company settled all of these cases, except for the claims of certain plaintiffs who sought substantial damages allegedly arising from the purchase of egg products (as opposed to shell eggs). These remaining plaintiffs are Kraft Food Global, Inc., General Mills, Inc., and Nestle USA, Inc. (the “Egg Products Plaintiffs”) and, until a subsequent settlement was reached as described below, The Kellogg Company. On September 13, 2019, the case with the Egg Products Plaintiffs was remanded from a multi-district litigation proceeding in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, In re Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2002, to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Kraft Foods Global, Inc. et al. v. United Egg Producers, Inc. et al., Case No. 1:11-cv-8808, for trial. The Egg Products Plaintiffs alleged that the Company and other defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15. U.S.C. § 1, by agreeing to limit the production of eggs and thereby illegally to raise the prices that plaintiffs paid for processed egg products. In particular, the Egg Products Plaintiffs attacked certain features of the United Egg Producers animal-welfare guidelines and program used by the Company and many other egg producers. On October 24, 2019, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with The Kellogg Company dismissing all claims against the Company for an amount that did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. On November 11, 2019, a stipulation for dismissal was filed with the court, and on March 28, 2022, the court dismissed the Company with prejudice. The trial of this case began on October 17, 2023. On December 1, 2023, the jury returned a decision awarding the Egg Products Plaintiffs $ 17.8 million in damages. If the jury’s decision is ultimately upheld, the defendants would be jointly and severally liable for treble damages, or $ 53.3 million, subject to credit for the Kellogg settlement described above and certain other settlements with previous settling defendants, plus the Egg Product Plaintiffs’ reasonable attorneys’ fees. This decision is not final and remains subject to appeals by the parties. During our second fiscal quarter of 2024, we recorded an accrued expense of $ 19.6 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and classified as other noncurrent liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accrual represents our estimate of the Company’s proportional share of the reasonably possible ultimate damages award, excluding the Egg Product Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees that we believe would be approximately offset by the credits noted above. We have entered into a judgment allocation and joint defense agreement with the other major producer defendant remaining in the case, and are in discussions with other defendants regarding their contributions. Our accrual may change in the future based on the outcome of those discussions. Our accrual may also be revised in whole or in part in the future to the extent we are successful in further proceedings in the litigation. On November 29, 2023, the defendants, including the Company, filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law in their favor, known as a directed verdict, notwithstanding the jury’s decision. The court denied this motion on September 30, 2024. The Company is evaluating the court’s September 30, 2024 order and intends to continue to vigorously defend the claims asserted by the Egg Products Plaintiffs. State of Oklahoma Watershed Pollution Litigation On June 18, 2005, the State of Oklahoma filed suit, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, against Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. and Tyson Foods, Inc., Cobb-Vantress, Inc., Cargill, Inc., George’s, Inc., Peterson Farms, Inc. and Simmons Foods, Inc., and certain of their affiliates. The State of Oklahoma claims that through the disposal of chicken litter the defendants polluted the Illinois River Watershed. This watershed provides water to eastern Oklahoma. The complaint sought injunctive relief and monetary damages, but the claim for monetary damages was dismissed by the court. Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. discontinued operations in the watershed in or around 2005. Since the litigation began, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. purchased 100 % of the membership interests of Benton County Foods, LLC, which is an ongoing commercial shell egg operation within the Illinois River Watershed. Benton County Foods, LLC is not a defendant in the litigation. We also have a number of small contract producers that operate in the area. The non-jury trial in the case began in September 2009 and concluded in February 2010. On January 18, 2023, the court entered findings of fact and conclusions of law in favor of the State of Oklahoma, but no penalties were assessed. The court found the defendants liable for state law nuisance, federal common law nuisance, and state law trespass. The court also found the producers vicariously liable for the actions of their contract producers. The court directed the parties to confer in attempt to reach agreement on appropriate remedies. On June 12, 2023, the court ordered the parties to mediate before retired Tenth Circuit Chief Judge Deanell Reece Tacha, but the mediation was unsuccessful. On June 26, 2024, the district court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. On September 13, 2024, a status hearing was held and the court scheduled an evidentiary hearing for December 3, 2024, to determine whether any legal remedy is available based on the now 14 year old record and changed circumstances of the Illinois River watershed. On September 20, 2024, the defendants filed motions to certify an interlocutory appeal and stay further proceedings pending appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The court has not ruled on these motions. While management believes there is a reasonable possibility of a material loss from the case, at the present time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of monetary exposure, if any, to the Company due to a range of factors, including the following, among others: uncertainties inherent in any assessment of potential costs associated with injunctive relief or other penalties based on a decision in a case tried over 14 years ago based on environmental conditions that existed at the time, the lack of guidance from the court as to what might be considered appropriate remedies, the ongoing litigation with the State of Oklahoma, and uncertainty regarding what our proportionate share of any remedy would be, although we believe that our share compared to the other defendants is small. Other Matters In addition to the above, the Company is involved in various other claims and litigation incidental to its business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined with certainty, management, upon the advice of counsel, is of the opinion that the final outcome should not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 1, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”). These statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and, in the opinion of management, consist of adjustments of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire fiscal year.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to May 31. Each of the three-month periods ended on August 31, 2024 and September 2, 2023 included 13 weeks .
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale	Investment Securities Available-for-Sale The Company has determined that its debt securities are available-for-sale investments. We classify these securities as current because the amounts invested are available for current operations. Available -for-sale securities are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity and is recorded in interest income. The Company regularly evaluates changes to the rating of its debt securities by credit agencies and economic conditions to assess and record any expected credit losses through allowance for credit losses, limited to the amount that fair value was less than the amortized cost basis. The cost basis for realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities is determined by the specific identification method. Gains and losses are recognized in other income (expenses) as Other, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded in interest income.
Trade Receivables	Trade Receivables Trade receivables are stated at their carrying values, which include a reserve for credit losses. As of August 31, 2024 and June 1, 2024, reserves for credit losses were $ 716 thousand and $ 490 thousand, respectively. The Company extends credit to customers based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and credit history. Collateral is generally not required. The Company minimizes exposure to counter party credit risk through credit analysis and approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures. In determining our reserve for credit losses, receivables are assigned an expected loss based on historical loss information adjusted as needed for economic and other forward-looking factors.
Dividends Payable	Dividends Payable We accrue dividends at the end of each quarter according to the Company’s dividend policy adopted by its Board of Directors. The Company pays a dividend to shareholders of its Common Stock and Class A Common Stock on a quarterly basis for each quarter for which the Company reports net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. computed in accordance with GAAP in an amount equal to one-third (1/3) of such quarterly income. Dividends are paid to shareholders of record as of the 60th day following the last day of such quarter, except for the fourth fiscal quarter. For the fourth quarter, the Company pays dividends to shareholders of record on the 65th day after the quarter end. Dividends are payable on the 15th day following the record date. Following a quarter for which the Company does not report net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., the Company will not pay a dividend 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. The dividend policy is subject to periodic review by the Board of Directors.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue through sale of its products to customers through retail, foodservice and other distribution channels. The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from agreements or contracts with customers based upon the customer ordering its products with a single performance obligation of delivering the product. The Company believes the performance obligation is met upon delivery and acceptance of the product by our customers, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery to a customer based on terms of the sale. Costs paid to third party brokers to obtain agreements are expensed as the Company’s agreements are generally less than one year. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration we expect to receive in exchange for delivery of the products. The Company periodically offers sales incentives or other programs such as rebates, discounts, coupons, volume- based incentives, guaranteed sales and other programs. The Company records an estimated allowance for costs associated with these programs, which is recorded as a reduction in revenue at the time of sale using historical trends and projected redemption rates of each program. The Company regularly reviews these estimates and any difference between the estimated costs and actual realization of these programs would be recognized the subsequent period.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. We determine the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities internally, which requires estimates and the use of various valuation techniques. When a market value is not readily available, our internal valuation methodology considers the remaining estimated life of the assets acquired and what management believes is the market value for those assets. We typically use the income method approach for intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates and useful lives. The excess of the purchase price over fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.
Loss Contingencies	Loss Contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed. The Company expenses the costs of litigation as they are incurred.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies	New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements (Policy)	Aug. 31, 2024
Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	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 transaction. A liability’s 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. • Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 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.
