NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(1) Significant Accounting Policies
iBasis 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
iThe 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.

The Company is not able to speculate how the ensuing economy or unknown future related expenses will affect it after the governmental novel coronavirus pandemic measures have ended.

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 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 June 25, 2022, and June 26, 2021, as well as periods ended June 26, 2021, and June 27, 2020, respectively. Comparable store sales increased 8.4 percent on an individual year-over-year basis and increased 2.6 percent on a two-year stacked basis for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2022 following the increase of 24.1 percent for the same period in 2020. Comparable store sales increased 8.9 percent on an individual year-over-year basis and increased 6.5 percent on a two-year stacked basis in the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2022 following the increase of 18.5 percent for the same period in 2020.

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.

According to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ report, the Seasonally Adjusted Food-at-Home Consumer Price Index increased 3.5% and 1.6% for the thirteen week periods ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021, respectively. The Seasonally Adjusted Food-at-Home Consumer Price Index increased 8.2% and 3.5% for twenty-six week periods ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021, respectively. Even though the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ index rates may be reflective of a trend, it will not necessarily be indicative of the Company’s actual results. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average price of gasoline in the Central Atlantic States increased 50.3% or $1.55 per gallon in the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The average price of gasoline in the Central Atlantic States increased 45.0% or $1.32 per gallon in the first twenty-six weeks of 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021.
Total net sales increased 8.4% to $1.1 billion for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2022, from $1.0 billion for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021. In the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2022, total net sales increased 9.0% to $2.2 billion from $2.1 billion. The increase in total net sales includes retail price inflation in grocery, fuel and fresh product categories. Comparable store sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 increased 8.4% including fuel and 6.0% excluding fuel. Comparable store sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 increased 8.9% including fuel and 6.8% 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 increased 3.9% and 6.8% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. When compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, gross profit margin for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2022 decreased 1.1% and 0.5%, respectively. The Company experienced degradation in its gross profit margin as product costs increased and lower margin departments, such as pharmacy and fuel, increased in the product mix.
Non-cash LIFO inventory valuation adjustments represent expense of $4.9 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2022 compared to expense of $865 thousand in the same period in 2021. 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-related costs such as wages, employer paid taxes, health care benefits and retirement plans, comprise approximately 60.8% of the total “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” As a percent of sales, direct store labor decreased 0.2% and 0.3% in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense charged to “Operating, general and administrative expenses” was $23.5 million, or 2.1% of net sales during the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2022 compared to $23.8 million, or 2.3% of net sales during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021. During the first twenty-six weeks of 2022 and 2021, depreciation and amortization expense charged to “Operating, general and administrative expenses” was $46.8 million, or 2.1% of net sales and $47.0 million, or 2.3% of net sales, respectively. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further information regarding the Company’s capital expansion program.
A breakdown of the material increases (decreases) as a percent of sales in "Operating, general and administrative expenses" is as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | 13 Weeks Ended | | |||
(amounts in thousands) | | Increase | | Increase (Decrease) | | |
| (Decrease) | | as a % of sales | | ||
Employee expenses | | $ | 1,637 | | (0.9) | % |

Fixed expense (amortization, depreciation, insurance expenses, and occupancy costs) | | | 2,664 | | (0.2) | |
Utilities expense | | | 6,176 | | 0.2 | |
Overall, the operating, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales presented for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2022 have benefited in comparison with the 2021 percent of sales due to the increase in sales. Although direct store labor and fixed expenses have increased from a cost perspective, the increase in sales has caused a decrease in the percent of sales rate.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 26.1% and 26.5% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021, 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, 2021, with Wells Fargo Bank, NA (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement matures on September 1, 2024, 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 June 25, 2022, the availability under the revolving credit agreement was $25.3 million with $4.7 million of letters of credit outstanding. 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 10 years and three long-held high yield, large capitalized public company equity securities. The portfolio totaled $229.4 million as of June 25, 2022. Management anticipates maintaining the investment portfolio but has the ability to liquidate if needed.
The Company’s capital expansion 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 approximately $125 million in its capital expansion program in 2022. The Company is experiencing limited availability of raw materials and equipment to complete remodels, supply chain and information technology upgrades, and smaller store improvement projects.
The Company expects that cash generated from operations and cash available under the Credit Agreement will fund its working capital requirements, debt requirements, capital expansion program, acquisitions and dividends. The Company has no other commitment of capital resources as of June 25, 2022, 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 July, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share, payable on August 8, 2022, to shareholders of record on July 25, 2022. 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 $15.5 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2022 compared to the first twenty-six weeks of 2021. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities is primarily due to increased product costs in inventory, which is the result of the recent inflationary pressures in the food retail industry in the first twenty-six weeks of 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021.
Investing
In the first twenty-six weeks of 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, reinvestment in property and equipment purchases decreased $24.3 million and net changes in marketable securities increased $29.3 million. Additionally, as a percentage of sales, capital expansions were 2.4% in the first twenty-six weeks of 2022 and 3.8% in the first twenty-six weeks of 2021. The decrease as a percent of sales in 2022 compared to 2021 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 2022, management anticipates maintaining the investment portfolio but has the ability to liquidate if needed.
Financing
The Company paid dividends of $17.2 million and $16.7 million in the first twenty-six weeks of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
