Executive Summary (vs. year-ago, year-to-date results):
“The Company had a strong first quarter of fiscal 2024, with sales and FIFO EBITDA increasing compared to first quarter of fiscal 2023,” stated Paul Palmby, President and Chief Executive Officer of Seneca Foods. “Net earnings reflect the continued performance of the business but without the non-cash LIFO charge that has impacted reported numbers for the past couple of years. As inflation stabilizes and with the 2023 harvest season well underway with a good crop so far, we are very pleased with where we are.”

Note 2: | During the three months ended July 1, 2023, the Company incurred restructuring charges primarily due to equipment moves from ceasing production of green beans at a plant in the Northeast in the previous fiscal year.

Note 3: | The Company had net other operating income of $0.2 million during the three months ended July 1, 2023, which was driven primarily by the sale of a non-operational plant in the Midwest. During the three months ended July 2, 2022, the Company had net other operating income of $2.1 million, driven mostly by the gain on the sale of various fixed assets. |
Note 4: | The Company used the “two-class” method for basic earnings per share by dividing the earning attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. |
