27 FY23 Form 10-K Restatement Summary The FY23 Annual Report on Form 10-K filing contains the restatement of previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended May 29, 2022 (“FY22”) and May 30, 2021 (“FY21”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended May 29, 2022 filed with the SEC, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ending August 30, 2020, November 29, 2020, February 28, 2021, August 29, 2021, November 28, 2021, February 27, 2022, August 28, 2022, November 27, 2022 and February 26, 2023 included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC (collectively, the “Prior Financial Statements”). The restatements correct errors involving the calculation of capitalized interest, valuation of inventories, and certain other adjustments related to previously divested businesses reflected in the Prior Financial Statements. In addition, the Company has adjusted certain other items that were previously identified and concluded as immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to the Prior Financial Statements. The more significant restatement adjustments to the Lifecore segment financial statements contained in the Prior Financial Statements, are described as follows: • The Company restated inventories and cost of sales to write down inventories to their net realizable value as well as recording reserves for excess and obsolete inventories in FY22 and FY21 which reduced inventories and increased cost of sales during those periods. • The Company restated property and equipment and interest expense to record capitalized interest on assets under construction in FY22 and FY21 which increased property and equipment and reduced interest expense during those periods. • The Company restated the Lifecore segment revenues and cost of sales in FY21 to gross up revenues and cost of sales for certain performance obligations the Company acted as a principal in the arrangements. • The Company recorded an accounts receivable reserve for a specific customer in FY21 and FY22 resulting in a decrease to accounts receivables and an increase to selling, general, and administrative expenses. • The Company restated FY21 opening retained earnings to account for the cumulative effect of the above restatements. The more significant restatement adjustments to the Company’s former Curation Foods segment financial statements are described as follows: • The Company restated FY21 opening retained earnings related to its former Curation Foods businesses non-current other receivables that were not collectable prior to the fiscal year periods presented in the consolidated FY23 financial statements. • The Company restated the presentation of certain operating costs and expenses of continuing operations and discontinued operations affecting FY22 and FY21.
