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

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,

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 and

year-to-date periods

ended on November 30, 2024 and December 2, 2023 included

and

26 weeks

, respectively.

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 is

adjusted

for

amortization of

premiums and

accretion of

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,

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

November 30,

2024 and

June 1,

2024, reserves

for credit

losses were

767

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 not required.

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

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 to

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

the

product

our

customers,

which

generally

occurs

upon

shipment

delivery

customer

based

terms

the

sale.

Costs

paid

third

party

brokers

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

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

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.

acquired in a business combination. Significant estimates in

intangible

assets

but

to,

the

amount

and

timing

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

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.

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

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:

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

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. On

November 6, 2024, the

court entered a final

judgement against the Company and

other

defendants,

jointly

and

severally,

totaling

43.6

million

after

trebling.

December

2024,

the

Company

filed

renewed

motion for judgment as a matter of law or for a new trial, and a motion to alter or amend the judgment.

On December 13, 2024,

the

court

and

entered

requiring the

defendants to

post security

during post-judgment

proceedings and

appeal, and

stayed proceedings

to enforce

the

judgment until the disposition of the post-judgment motions and ultimate appeals. On

December 17, 2024, the Company posted

a bond

in the

approximate amount

of $

23.9

million, representing

a portion

of the

total bond

required to

preserve the

right to

appeal the trial court’s

decision. Another defendant posted a

bond for the remaining amount,

State of Oklahoma Watershed Pollution Litigation

On June

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

and

Simmons Foods,

The

State of

Oklahoma claims

that

While management believes there

possible to estimate the

amount of monetary exposure,

if any,

to the Company due

to a range

including the

following,

among others:

uncertainties inherent

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

and

uncertainty

regarding

what

our

proportionate

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

with certainty,

management, upon the

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

For the

second quarter

and first

two quarters

of fiscal

2025, we

recorded a

gross profit

of $356.0

million and

$603.3 million,

respectively,

compared to $91.1

million and $136.6

million, respectively,

for the same

periods of fiscal

2024, primarily driven

by an

increase in

the net

average selling

price of

shell eggs,

primarily conventional

egg prices,

as well

as an

increase in

total

dozens

sold,

primarily

specialty

dozens

sold.

Our

results

were

also

positively

impacted

lower

feed

costs

and

our

recent

acquisitions discussed above, partially offset by an increase in the volume and price of outside egg purchases.

Our net

average selling price

per dozen for

the second quarter

of fiscal 2025

was $2.740 compared

to $1.730 in

the prior-year

period. Conventional egg

prices per dozen

were $2.943

compared to $1.458

for the prior-year

period, and specialty

egg prices

per

dozen

were

$2.387

compared

$2.277

for

the

prior-year

period.

Egg

prices

the

second

quarter

fiscal

2025

were

elevated compared to the prior-year

period primarily due to the resurgence

of HPAI

outbreaks, which decreased supply,

among

other

factors.

According

the USDA,

the

monthly average

size of

the

layer hen

flock

from

September through

November

(which most closely aligns with our second fiscal quarter) 2024 was approximately 310.7 million hens, which was a decrease of

9.7 million layers, or 3.0%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The daily average price for the Urner Barry southeast

Our farm production

costs per dozen

produced for the

second quarter of

fiscal 2025 decreased

8.5%, or $0.08

compared to the

prior year period, primarily due to lower feed costs. Feed costs

per dozen produced decreased 12.8%, or $0.07, compared to the

second quarter of

fiscal 2024, primarily

due to lower

feed ingredient prices.

For information about

historical corn and

soybean

meal prices,

see Part

I Item

I of

our 2024

Annual Report.

Our egg

purchases and

other cost

of sales

increased $126.4

quarter-over-quarter, primarily

due to higher

shell egg prices as

increase in dozens purchased

Farm Production

Second Quarter – Fiscal 2025 vs. Fiscal 2024

Feed costs per dozen produced decreased 12.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the second quarter of

fiscal 2024. This decrease

was primarily due to

lower prices for corn

and soybean meal, our

primary feed ingredients.

The decrease

in feed

cost per

dozen resulted

in a

decrease in

cost of

sales of

$20.5 million

for the

second quarter

fiscal 2025 compared to the prior period quarter.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the average Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”) daily market price was $4.17 per

bushel

corn

and

$311

per

ton

soybean

meal,

representing

decreases

13.0%

and

25.3%,

respectively,

compared to the average CBOT daily market prices for the second 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.

Twenty-six weeks – Fiscal 2025 vs. Fiscal 2024

Feed costs

per dozen

produced decreased

15.1% in

the twenty-six

weeks ended

November 30,

2024 compared

to the

same period of fiscal 2024,

primarily due to lower feed

ingredient prices. The decrease in

feed cost per dozen resulted

in a decrease in cost of sales of $48.3 million compared to the prior year period.

For the

year-to-date period,

the average

CBOT daily

market price

was $4.10

per bushel

of corn

and $326

per ton

soybean meal, representing decreases of

18.8% and 22.4%, respectively,

compared to the average CBOT

daily market

prices for the comparable period in the prior year.

Index

Other farm production costs decreased due to lower flock amortization, for the reasons described above.

Processing, packaging, and warehouse

Second Quarter – Fiscal 2025 vs. Fiscal 2024

Processing, packaging,

and warehouse

costs increased

16.6% compared

to the

second quarter

of fiscal

2024 due

to a

9.7% increase in the volume of processed dozens as well as an increase in costs of packaging materials.

Twenty-six weeks – Fiscal 2025 vs. Fiscal 2024

Processing,

packaging,

and

warehouse

costs

increased

14.3%

compared

2025,

primarily

well

Egg purchases and other cost of sales

Second 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 58.6% compared to second quarter of fiscal 2024, as well as due to an increase of 80.3% in dozens

purchased.

Dozens

purchased

increased

due

purchasing

eggs

our

customers

during

the

higher

seasonal demand cycle while the nation experienced lower supply due to HPAI.

Twenty-six weeks – 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

64.7% compared

to fiscal

2024, as

well as

an increase

of 73.8%

in dozens

Gross profit for the

twenty-six weeks ended November 30,

2024 was $603.3 million compared

to $136.6

million for

the same

period of

2024. The

increase was

primarily due

to higher

net average

as well

as lower

feed

ingredient prices,

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

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2024, $240.2 million in

net cash was provided by operating activities, compared

$73.7

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,

increased

volume

sales

and

decrease

feed

ingredient

costs

compared

the

prior-year

period,

partially

offset

the

increase

volume

and

price

outside egg purchases.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For

the

twenty-six

weeks

ended

November

30,

2024,

$247.4

million

was

used

investing

activities,

primarily

due

the

acquisition

assets

ISE,

and

purchases

property,

plant

and

equipment.

This

compares

$32.8

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 $426.5

million in

the twenty-six

weeks

ended November

30, 2024

and purchases

investment securities were

$501.6 million during

the period. Sales

and maturities of

investment securities were

$196.1 million

in the prior year period while purchases of investment securities were $43.6 million during the period. The increase

in sales and

maturities of

investment securities

is primarily

due to

the maturities

of short-term

investments during

the first

two quarters

Index

fiscal 2025. Purchases of

property, plant

and equipment were $65.6

million and $65.8 million

in the first

two quarters of

fiscal

2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily reflecting progress on our construction projects.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

paid dividends of $87.8 million for

the twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 2024

compared to $37.3 million in the

same

prior-year period.

As of

November 30,

2024, cash

decreased $97.6

million since

June 1,

2024, compared

to an

increase of

$69.0 million

during

the same period of fiscal 2024. The decrease is primarily due to the acquisition of assets of ISE during fiscal 2025.

Credit Facility

November

15,

2021,

entered

into

credit

agreement

that

provides

for

senior

secured

revolving

credit

facility

(the

“Credit Facility”),

in an

initial aggregate

principal amount

of up

to $250

million with

a five-year

term. As

of November

30,

2024, no amounts were borrowed under the Credit Facility.

We have

$4.7 million in outstanding standby letters of credit issued

under our Credit Facility for the benefit of certain insurance companies. Refer to Part II Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial

Statements

and

Supplementary

Data,

Note

Credit

Facility

included

our

2024

Annual

Report

for

further

information

regarding our long-term debt.

Dividends

accordance

with

our

variable

dividend

policy,

will

pay

cash

dividend

totaling

approximately

$73.0

million,

approximately

$1.489

per

share,

holders

our

Common

Stock

and

Class

Common

with

respect

our

second

quarter of fiscal

2025. The amount

paid per share

will vary based

on the number

of outstanding shares

on the record

date. The

dividend is payable on February 13, 2025 to holders of record on January 29, 2025.

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 to

monitor the

increasing demand

for cage-free

eggs and

engage with

our

customers

efforts

to achieve

a smooth

transition toward

their announced

timelines for

cage-free egg

sales. The

following table

presents

material construction projects approved as of November 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Project(s) Type

Completion

The table reflects approximately $60 million in new capital projects added since the end of first quarter 2025. These projects

include the addition of five new cage-free layer houses and two pullet houses across our locations in Florida, Georgia, Utah and

Texas. We

expect the projects to be completed with additional production capacity for approximately 1.1 million cage-free

layer hens and 250 thousand pullets by late summer 2025. We are also investing $15 million to expand our egg products

processing facility in Blackshear, Georgia to add extended shelf-life liquid eggs products.

We expect the processing plant and hatchery that we acquired in fourth quarter 2024 and repurposed for use in shell egg

production to be online in our next fiscal quarter. We

have been working with local contract growers and have commitments

that would result in approximately 1.2 million additional free-range hens by fall 2025.

Index

We believe our current cash balances, investments, projected cash flows from operations, and available borrowings under our

Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditure cash needs for at least the next 12 months and to fund our

capital commitments currently in place thereafter.

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 and year-to-date periods ended on November 30, 2024 and December 2, 2023 included 13 and 26 weeks , respectively. 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 November 30, 2024 and June 1, 2024, reserves for credit losses were $ 767 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.

Acquisitions [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Note 2 - Acquisitions Acquisition of ISE America, Inc. Assets 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. Other Acquisitions Effective November 30, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 9.23 % interest in our majority-owned subsidiary, MeadowCreek Foods LLC.

Fair Value Measurements	Nov. 30, 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 November 30, 2024 and June 1, 2024 (in thousands): November 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Balance Assets Municipal bonds $ — $ 13,705 $ — $ 13,705 Commercial paper — 71,148 — 71,148 Corporate bonds — 301,820 — 301,820 Certificates of deposits — 5,607 — 5,607 US government and agency obligations — 151,402 — 151,402 Asset backed securities — 647 — 647 Treasury bills — 112,558 — 112,558 Total assets measured at fair value $ — $ 656,887 $ — $ 656,887 Liabilities Contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 13,000 $ 13,000 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ — $ 13,000 $ 13,000 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 Fassio Egg Farms, Inc. (“Fassio”) 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. Fassio Contingent Consideration Balance, June 1, 2024 $ 6,500 Fair value adjustments 6,500 Balance, November 30, 2024 $ 13,000 Adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

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. On November 30, 2024, the State filed an amended petition, primarily to address a procedural deficiency that required the State to generally plead it was seeking monetary relief over $ 1.0 million including restitution, civil penalties, attorney’s fees and costs. 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. On November 6, 2024, the court entered a final judgement against the Company and other defendants, jointly and severally, totaling $ 43.6 million after trebling. On December 4, 2024, the Company filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law or for a new trial, and a motion to alter or amend the judgment. On December 13, 2024, the court granted defendants’ November 20, 2024 motion to stay enforcement of the judgment and entered an agreed order requiring the defendants to post security during post-judgment proceedings and appeal, and stayed proceedings to enforce the judgment until the disposition of the post-judgment motions and ultimate appeals. On December 17, 2024, the Company posted a bond in the approximate amount of $ 23.9 million, representing a portion of the total bond required to preserve the right to appeal the trial court’s decision. Another defendant posted a bond for the remaining amount, The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the claims asserted by the Egg Products Plaintiffs. If the jury’s decision is ultimately upheld, the Company would be jointly and severally liable with other defendants for treble damages, or $ 43.6 million, subject to credit for certain settlements with previous settling defendants, plus the Egg Product Plaintiffs’ reasonable attorneys’ fees. 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. Although less than the bond posted by the Company, 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 and may also be revised in whole or in part in the future to the extent we are successful in further proceedings in the litigation. 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 November 5, 2024 the court denied defendants’ September 20, 2024 motion to certify an interlocutory appeal. The evidentiary hearing proceeded as scheduled and concluded on December 17, 2024. The court directed the parties to present their proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law and supporting briefs by January 30, 2025. 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 and year-to-date periods ended on November 30, 2024 and December 2, 2023 included 13 and 26 weeks , respectively.
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 November 30, 2024 and June 1, 2024, reserves for credit losses were $ 767 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)	Nov. 30, 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.
