Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except
as
set
forth below,
there
have
been
no
changes
in
the
risk
factors
previously
disclosed in
the
Annual
Report. The following risk factors
should be read in conjunction with
the risk factors set forth in the 2025
Our shell eggs, egg products and prepared foods
offerings are susceptible to contamination, and we may be required to,
or we may voluntarily, recall contaminated products.
We
sell
food products
for human
consumption,
including shell
eggs,
egg products
and prepared
foods,
which involves
food
safety risks such as:
food
contamination
caused
by
disease-producing
organisms
or
pathogens,
such
as
Listeria
monocytogenes
,
Salmonella
Enteritidis
,
and
pathogenic
E
Coli
.,
contamination
caused
by
introduction
of
pathogens
as
a
result of
improper handling by
customers or consumers (over
which we
have no
control) or by
operational errors by
suppliers or co-manufacturers
or in our facilities;
mislabeling, including with respect to food allergens;
food spoilage;
nutritional and health-related concerns;
and
product tampering.
Shipment of contaminated, mislabeled,
spoiled or otherwise deficient products, even
if inadvertent, could result in a violation of
law and lead to increased risk of exposure to product liability claims, product recall or withdrawal
and scrutiny by federal, state
and
local
regulatory
agencies.
We
have
little,
if
any,
control
over
proper
handling
once
the
product
has
been
shipped
or
delivered.
In
addition,
purchased
from
other
producers
could
contain
contaminants,
or
be
spoiled,
mislabeled
or
otherwise deficient that
might be
inadvertently redistributed or sold
by us.
This has
occurred in the
past and may
occur in the
future. As
such, we
might decide
or be
required to
recall or
withdraw a
product if
we, our
customers or
regulators believe
it
poses
a potential
health risk.
Any shipment
of deficient
product or
any action
taken in
response, such
as a
product recall
or
withdraw,
could
result
in
a
loss
of
consumer
confidence in
our
adversely
affect
our
reputation
with
and
and
have
a
adverse
effect
on
our
business,
results
of
and
condition.
We
currently maintain
insurance with
respect to
certain of
these risks,
including product
liability
insurance, business
interruption
insurance, product recall insurance and general
liability insurance, but
in many cases such
insurance is expensive and difficult
to obtain, and no assurance can be given that such
insurance can be maintained in the future on acceptable terms or in sufficient
amounts to protect us against losses due
to any such events, or at all.
Our business is highly competitive.
The production and sale of
fresh shell eggs, which accounted for 94.3%
to 95.3% of our
net sales in our
last three fiscal years,
is intensely competitive. We
compete with a large number
of competitors that
may prove to be
more successful than we are
in
producing, marketing and selling shell eggs.
We cannot provide assurance that we will be able
to compete successfully with any
or all
of these companies.
Increased competition could result in
price reductions, greater cyclicality,
reduced margins and
loss
of market share, which would negatively
affect our business, results of operations, and
financial condition.
In
addition,
our
growth
strategy
includes expansion
of
our
product
offerings
prepared foods.
The
prepared
foods
business is intensely competitive and includes competition from other prepared food companies and other suppliers of prepared
and
convenience foods,
restaurants, grocery
stores
and
convenience stores,
many
of
which
have
more
experience
operating prepared and
convenience foods
businesses. In
response to
these competitive
pressures, we may
have to
reduce the
prices of
our products,
or increase or reallocate
our spending
on marketing, advertising
and promotional activity.
Competitive
pressures may also restrict our ability to increase
prices, including in response to commodity and
other input cost increases. Our
profits could decrease if either a
reduction in prices or increase in
costs without comparable increase in price is
not offset with
Index
increased sales volume. Alternatively,
if we do not
reduce our prices or
increase our prices,
as applicable, and our competitors
seek advantage through pricing or
promotional changes, our revenues
and market share could be
adversely affected.
