NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

 i 

(1) Significant Accounting Policies

 i 

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring deferrals and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure through the date of issuance of the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and there were no material subsequent events which require additional disclosure. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 / 

 i 

(2) Current Relevant Accounting Standards

 i 

The Company regularly monitors recently issued accounting standards and assesses their applicability and impact. The Company believes that there are no accounting standard updates that have or will have a material or significant impact on the Company’s accounting policies.

 / 

 i 

(3) Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities are all classified as available-for-sale within “Current Assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s marketable securities valued using Level 1 inputs include highly liquid equity securities, for which quoted market prices are available. The Company’s bond and commercial paper portfolio is valued using a combination of pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions, cash flow models with yield curves and other pricing models utilizing observable inputs, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

For Level 2 investment valuation, the Company utilizes standard pricing procedures of its investment advisory firm which includes various third-party pricing services. These procedures also require specific price monitoring practices as well as pricing review reports, valuation oversight and pricing challenge procedures to maintain the most accurate representation of investment fair market value.

The Company accrues interest on its bond and commercial paper portfolio throughout the life of each bond and commercial paper held. Dividends from the equity securities are recognized as received. Interest, dividends and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities are recognized in “Investment income (loss) and interest expense” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized investment gain of $ i 2.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023, which included an unrealized loss in equity securities of $ i 437 thousand. In the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2022, the Company recognized investment loss of $ i 261 thousand, which included an unrealized loss in equity securities of $ i 1.4 million. In the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized investment income of $ i 6.3 million, which included an unrealized loss in equity securities of $ i 815 thousand. In the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2022, the Company recognized investment income of $ i 1.4 million, which included an unrealized loss in equity securities of $1.6 million.

SERP Investments

The Company also maintains a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan for certain of its associates which allows them to defer income to future periods. Participants in the plans earn a return on their deferrals based on mutual fund investments. The Company chooses to invest in the underlying mutual fund investments to offset the liability associated with the non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Such investments are reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as “SERP investment,” are classified as trading securities and are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs with gains and losses included in “Investment income (loss) and interest expense” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized investment loss of $ i 774 thousand in the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023, and investment loss of $ i 1.2 million in the same period in 2022. The Company recognized investment income of $ i 1.4 million and investment loss of $ i 4.8 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, and September 24, 2022, respectively. The changes in the underlying liability to the associates are recorded in “Other income (expense).”

(7) Leases

As of September 30, 2023, the Company leased approximately  i 49% of its open store facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2036, with the remaining store facilities being owned. These leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals; however, several provide for minimum annual rentals plus variable lease costs related to real estate taxes and insurance as well as contingent rentals based on a percentage of annual sales or increases periodically based on inflation. These variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the operating lease right-to-use assets or lease liabilities and are charged to the related expense category included in “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” Most of the leases contain multiple renewal options, under which the Company may extend the lease terms from  i 5 to  i 20 years. Additionally, the Company has operating leases for certain transportation and other equipment.

The Company leases or subleases space to tenants in owned, vacated and open store facilities. Rental income is recorded when earned as a component of “Operating, general and administrative expenses.”

The following is a schedule of the lease costs included in “Operating, general and administrative expenses” for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, and September 24, 2022.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)

Two-Year Stacked Comparable Store Sales Analysis

Management is providing Comparable Store Sales Two-Year Stacked analysis, a non-GAAP measure, because management believes this metric is useful to investors and analysts. A Comparable Store Sales Two-Year Stacked analysis presents a comparison of results and trends over a longer period of time to demonstrate the effect of the novel coronavirus pandemic on the operating results of the Company. Information presented in the tables below is not intended for use as an alternative to any other measure of performance. It is not recommended that this table be considered a substitute for the Company’s operating results as reported in accordance with GAAP.

Year-over-year and sequential comparisons are the primary calculations used to analyze operating results, however, due to significant fluctuations caused by the novel coronavirus pandemic and inflationary indicators in the food retail industry, management believes it is necessary to provide a Two-Year Stacked Comparable Store Sales analysis. The following tables provide the two-year stacked comparable store sales, including and excluding fuel, for the periods ended September 30, 2023, and September 24, 2022, as well as periods ended September 24, 2022, and September 25, 2021, respectively. Comparable store sales increased 0.8 percent on an individual year-over-year basis and increased 8.7 percent on a two-year stacked basis for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023. Comparable store sales increased 2.5 percent on an individual year-over-year basis and increased 11.1 percent on a two-year stacked basis in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023.

When calculating the percentage change in comparable store sales, the Company defines a new store to be comparable after it has been in operation for five full fiscal quarters. Relocated stores and stores with expanded square footage are included in comparable store sales since these units are located in existing markets and are open during construction. Planned store dispositions are excluded from the calculation. The Company only includes retail food stores in the calculation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)

According to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ report, the Seasonally Adjusted Food-at-Home Consumer Price Index increased 0.5% and 2.8% for the thirteen week periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, respectively. The Seasonally Adjusted Food-at-Home Consumer Price Index increased 1.0% and 10.6% for thirty-nine week periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, respectively. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average price of gasoline in the Central Atlantic States decreased 11.0% or $0.48 per gallon in the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The average price of gasoline in the Central Atlantic States decreased 12.4% or $0.53 per gallon in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022. Even though the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ and the U.S. Department of Energy indices may be reflective of a trend, it will not necessarily be indicative of the Company’s actual results.

Total net sales increased 0.8% to $1.2 billion for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023, from $1.2 billion for the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2022. In the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, total net sales increased 2.8% to $3.5 billion from $3.4 billion. The increase in total net sales includes retail price inflation in grocery, pharmacy and fresh product categories. Comparable store sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 increased 0.8% including fuel and 1.1% excluding fuel. Comparable store sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 increased 2.5% including fuel and 3.1% excluding fuel.

Although the Company experienced retail inflation and deflation in various commodities for the periods presented, the Company anticipates overall product costs to increase given the recent inflationary indicators in the food retail industry. Management cannot accurately measure the full impact of inflation or deflation on retail pricing due to changes in the types of merchandise sold between periods, shifts in customer buying patterns and the fluctuation of competitive factors. Management remains confident in its ability to generate long-term sales growth in a highly competitive environment, but also understands some competitors have greater financial resources and could use these resources to take measures which could adversely affect the Company’s competitive position.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales consists of direct product costs (net of discounts and allowances), net advertising costs, distribution center and transportation costs, as well as manufacturing facility operations.

Gross profit on sales decreased 0.7% and 0.3% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. When compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2022, gross profit margin for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 decreased 0.4% and 0.8%, respectively. The Company experienced degradation in its gross profit margin as product costs increased in the fresh meats and pharmacy departments and lower margin departments, such as pharmacy, increased in the product mix.

Non-cash LIFO inventory valuation adjustments represent expense of $4.3 million in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2023 compared to expense of $11.8 million in the same period in 2022. Although the Company experienced cost inflation and deflation in various commodities for the periods presented, the Company anticipates overall product costs to increase given the recent inflationary indicators in the food retail industry.

Operating, General and Administrative Expenses

The majority of the operating, general and administrative expenses are driven by sales volume.

Employee expenses such as wages, employer paid taxes, health care benefits and retirement plans, comprise approximately 59.7% of the total “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” As a percent of sales, direct store labor increased 0.1% and decreased 0.1% in the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the same periods in 2022, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense charged to “Operating, general and administrative expenses” was $24.7 million, or 2.1% of net sales during the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023 compared to $23.7 million, or 2.1% of net sales during the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2022. During the first thirty-nine weeks of 2023 and 2022, depreciation and amortization expense charged to “Operating, general and administrative expenses” was $73.6 million, or 2.1% of net sales and $70.6 million, or 2.1% of net sales, respectively. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further information regarding the Company’s capital expenditure program.

A breakdown of the material increases (decreases) as a percent of sales in "Operating, general and administrative expenses" is as follows:

Overall, the operating, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales presented for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 have benefited in comparison with the 2022 percent of sales due to the increase in sales. Fixed expense and other expenses have increased in dollars as well as a percent of sales for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 mainly due to increased supply chain costs from third party service providers and decreased other income from fewer real estate sales and property insurance claims.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 27.1% and 22.9% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate, primarily due to the effect of state taxes, net of permanent differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary source of cash is cash flows generated from operations. In addition, the Company has access to a revolving credit agreement entered into on September 1, 2016, and amended on September 29, 2023, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement matures on October 1, 2027, and provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30.0 million with an additional discretionary amount available of $70.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the availability under the revolving credit agreement was $25.6 million, net of $4.4 million letters of credit. The letters of credit are maintained primarily to support performance, payment, deposit or surety obligations of the Company.

The Company’s investment portfolio consists of high-grade bonds and commercial paper with maturity dates between one and 30 years and four high yield, large capitalized public company equity securities. The portfolio totaled $219.7 million as of September 30, 2023. Management anticipates maintaining the investment portfolio but has the ability to liquidate if needed.

The Company’s capital expenditure program includes the construction of new superstores, the expansion and remodeling of existing units, the acquisition of sites for future expansion, new technology purchases and the continued upgrade of the Company’s distribution facilities and transportation fleet. Management currently plans to invest over $100 million in its capital expenditure program in 2023, including multiple carryover projects from 2022 that were delayed due to labor and supply chain disruptions.

The Company expects that cash generated from operations and cash available under the Credit Agreement will fund its working capital requirements, debt requirements, capital expenditure program, acquisitions and dividends. The Company has no other commitment of capital resources as of September 30, 2023, other than the lease commitments on its store facilities and transportation equipment under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2036.

The Board of Directors’ 2004 resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to one million shares of the Company’s common stock has a remaining balance of 752,468 shares.

Quarterly Cash Dividends

At its regular meeting held in October, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.34 per share, payable on November 20, 2023, to shareholders of record on November 6, 2023. The Company expects to continue paying regular cash dividends on a quarterly basis. However, the Board of Directors reconsiders the declaration of dividends quarterly. The Company pays these dividends at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the continuation of these payments and the amount of the dividends depends upon the results of operations, the financial condition of the Company and other factors which the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Operating

Cash flows from operating activities decreased $99.2 million in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2023 compared to the first thirty-nine weeks of 2022. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities is primarily due to less net income and settling working capital obligations in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022.

Investing

In the first thirty-nine weeks of 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, the purchase of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales, decreased $1.3 million and the purchases of marketable securities, net of proceeds from sales, increased by $53.9 million. Additionally, as a percent of sales, capital expenditures were 2.2% in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2023 and 2.5% in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2022. The decrease as a percent of sales in 2023 compared to 2022 is due to the increase in sales as well as a decrease in spend resulting from limited availability of raw materials and equipment to complete remodels, supply chain and information technology upgrades, and smaller store improvement projects. For the remainder of 2023, management anticipates maintaining the investment portfolio but has the ability to liquidate if needed.

Financing

The Company paid dividends of $27.4 million and $25.8 million in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
