3. Revenue Recognition

Revenue from transactions with external customers for each of the Company’s products would be impracticable to disclose and management does not view its business by product line. The following is a summary of revenue disaggregated by geographic area and brands:

Charges related to credit losses on accounts receivable from transactions with external customers were immaterial and $0.1 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, respectively. Charges related to credit losses on accounts receivable from transactions with external customers were $(0.6) million and $0.1 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025, respectively. As of both February 28, 2026, and August 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable were $0.9 million.

Tableof Contents

4. Goodwill and Intangibles

As of February 28, 2026, and August 30, 2025, Goodwill in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $590.0 million. As a result of the sustained decline in the Company’s share price, declines in the Company’s market capitalization, and updated future revenue projections assessed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company identified a triggering event indicating that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. The Company conducted a quantitative interim goodwill assessment as of the last day of its second quarter, February 28, 2026, utilizing a weighted combination of the discounted cash flow method under the income approach and the guideline public company method under the market approach to estimate the fair value of the equity of the Company. Based on testing, the fair value was greater than its carrying value, resulting in no impairment charges related to goodwill during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, or since the inception of the Company.

Intangible assets, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consists of the following:

Changes in Intangible assets, net during the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, were primarily related to the impairment of both the OWYN and Atkins brands and trademarks indefinite-lived intangible assets, and recurring amortization expense. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $3.9 million and $7.8 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $3.7 million and $7.5 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. There were no impairment charges related to its finite-lived intangible assets during the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, and March 1, 2025.

As a result of the declines of net sales and future revenue projections assessed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company identified a triggering event indicating that it was more likely than not that the fair value of both the OWYN and Atkins brands and trademarks indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their respective carrying amounts. The Company conducted a quantitative assessment as of the last day of its second quarter, February 28, 2026, utilizing an income approach to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets. Based on testing, the respective assets carrying values exceeded their fair values, resulting in a loss on impairment of $187.0 million for OWYN and $62.0 million for Atkins during the thirteen weeks ended February 28, 2026. There were no impairment charges related to the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets during the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025.

We believe the estimates and assumptions utilized in our impairment assessments are reasonable and are comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. However, actual events and results could differ substantially from those utilized in our initial valuations. Significant declines of future revenue projections or changes of other assumptions used in estimating fair values versus those utilized at the time of the initial valuations could result in impairment charges that could materially affect the consolidated financial statements.

Estimated future amortization for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter is as follows:

5. Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit

On July 7, 2017, the Company (through certain of its subsidiaries) entered into a credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement at that time provided for (i) a term facility of $200.0 million (“Term Facility”) with a seven-year maturity and (ii) a revolving credit facility of up to $75.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a five-year maturity. Substantially concurrent with the consummation of the business combination which formed the Company between Conyers Park Acquisition Corp. and NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc. on July 7, 2017, the full $200.0 million of the Term Facility (the “Term Loan”) was drawn.

On November 7, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $460.0 million. The Term Facility together with the incremental borrowing make up the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Incremental Facility Amendment). The Incremental Facility Amendment was executed to partially finance the acquisition of Quest Nutrition, LLC on November 7, 2019. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the Incremental Facility Amendment.

Effective as of December 16, 2021, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Extension Amendment provided for an extension of the stated maturity date of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) from July 7, 2022, to the earlier of (i) 91 days prior to the then-effective maturity date of the Initial Term Loans and (ii) December 16, 2026.

On January 21, 2022, the Company entered into the “2022 Repricing Amendment” to the Credit Agreement. The 2022 Repricing Amendment, among other things, (i) reduced the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of the 2022 Repricing Amendment, (ii) reset the prepayment premium for the existing Initial Term Loans to apply to Repricing Transactions (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that occur within six months after the effective date of the 2022 Repricing Amendment, and (iii) implemented SOFR and related replacement provisions for LIBOR.

On April 25, 2023, the Company entered into the “2023 Repricing Amendment” to the Credit Agreement. The 2023 Repricing Amendment, (i) reduced the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to April 25, 2023, and (ii) provided for an extension of the maturity date of the Initial Term Loans from July 7, 2024, to March 17, 2027.

On June 13, 2024, the Company entered into a sixth amendment (the “2024 Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $250.0 million. The terms of the incremental borrowing are the same as the terms of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility. The 2024 Incremental Facility Amendment was executed to partially finance the OWYN Acquisition. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the 2024 Incremental Facility Amendment.

On January 31, 2025, the Company entered into a seventh amendment (the “2025 Repricing Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to reduce the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of the 2025 Repricing Amendment.

On November 19, 2025, the Company entered into an eighth amendment (the “2026 Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $150.0 million and provided for an extension of the maturity date from March 17, 2027 to March 17, 2030. The 2026 Incremental Facility Amendment also provided for an extension of the stated maturity date of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) from December 16, 2026, to the earlier of (i) 91 days prior to the then-effective maturity date of the Term Facility and (ii) December 16, 2029. The terms of the incremental borrowing are substantially the same as the terms of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility. No amounts of the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the 2026 Incremental Facility Amendment.

Tableof Contents

Effective as of the 2026 Incremental Facility Amendment, the interest rate per annum for the Initial Term Loans is based on either:

i.A base rate equaling the higher of (a) the “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% plus (x) 1.00% margin for the Term Loan or (y) 1.00% margin for the Revolving Credit Facility; or

ii.SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus (x) 2.00% margin for the Term Loan or (y) 2.00% margin for the Revolving Credit Facility.

In connection with the closing of the 2026 Incremental Facility Amendment, the Company expensed $2.7 million of non-deferrable third-party costs through General and administrative within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and capitalized $2.6 million of upfront lender fees (original issue discount) and third-party financing costs.

The Simply Good Foods Company is not a borrower under the Credit Agreement and has not provided a guarantee of the Credit Agreement. Simply Good Foods USA, Inc., is the administrative borrower and certain other subsidiary holding companies are co-borrowers under the Credit Agreement. Each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that are not a named borrower under the Credit Agreement has provided a guarantee on a secured basis. As security for the payment or performance of the debt under the Credit Agreement, the borrowers and the guarantors have pledged certain equity interests in their respective subsidiaries and granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their domestic assets. All guarantors other than Quest Nutrition, LLC and Only What You Need, Inc. are holding companies with no assets other than their investments in their respective subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur and/or undertake asset sales and other dispositions, liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions and investments, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations and other fundamental changes, payment of dividends and other distributions to equity and warrant holders, and prepayments of material subordinated debt, in each case, subject to customary exceptions materially consistent with credit facilities of such type and size. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum total net leverage ratio equal to or less than 6.00:1.00 contingent on credit extensions in excess of 30% of the total amount of commitments available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the credit facilities may result in an event of default. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of February 28, 2026, and August 30, 2025, respectively.

Long-term debt consists of the following:

The Company is not required to make principal payments on the Term Facility over the twelve months following the period ended February 28, 2026. The outstanding balance of the Term Facility is due upon its maturity in March 2030.

As of February 28, 2026, the Company had letters of credit in the amount of $0.8 million outstanding. These letters of credit offset against the $75.0 million availability of the Revolving Credit Facility and exist to support two of the Company’s leased buildings. No amounts were drawn against these letters of credit as of February 28, 2026.

The Company utilizes market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. The Company carries debt at historical cost and discloses fair value. As of February 28, 2026, and August 30, 2025, the book value of the Company’s debt approximated fair value. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan is valued based on observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is used:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

Tableof Contents

Components of the balance sheet such as accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, and others approximate fair value as of February 28, 2026.

7. Income Taxes

The tax expense and the effective tax rate resulting from operations were as follows:

The effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026 was 4.5% higher than the effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025, which was primarily due to the absence of excess tax benefits from stock option exercises recognized in the prior-year period and a tax benefit related to the wind-down of operations at the Company’s legacy Canadian subsidiary.

8. Leases

The Company generally leases office space and distribution centers in the United States through operating lease agreements. As of February 28, 2026, the Company had no finance lease agreements. Our leases have remaining lease terms up to 7 years and most include an option to renew for additional terms.

The Company’s lease costs recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations consist of the following:

The right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities related to operating are as follows:

Future maturities of lease liabilities as of February 28, 2026, were as follows:

The weighted-average remaining lease terms and weighted-average discount rates for operating leases were as follows:

Supplemental and other information related to operating leases was as follows:

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is a party to certain litigation and claims that are considered normal to the operations of the business. From time to time, the Company has been and may again become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently a party to any litigation that it believes to be material, and the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that its management believes could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.

Other

The Company enters into endorsement contracts with certain celebrity figures and social media influencers to promote and endorse the Quest, Atkins, and OWYN brands and product lines. These contracts contain endorsement fees, which are expensed ratably over the life of the contract, and performance fees, that are recognized at the time of achievement. Based on the terms of contracts in place and achievement of performance conditions as of February 28, 2026, the Company will be required to make payments of $0.1 million over the next year.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company adopted a stock repurchase program in November 2018. On January 6, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a $200.0 million repurchase authorization under its stock repurchase program (the “Current Authorization”). Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Company and does not have an expiration date.

During the thirteen weeks ended February 28, 2026, the Company repurchased 4,606,990 shares of common stock at an average price of $19.21 per share, inclusive of commissions and exclusive of accrued excise tax. During the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, the Company repurchased 9,590,504 shares of common stock at an average price of $19.62 per share, inclusive of commissions and exclusive of accrued excise tax. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 requires a 1% excise tax on the net amount of share repurchases. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. As of February 28, 2026, approximately $182.5 million remained available under the Current Authorization.

11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive securities, including the Company’s (i) employee stock options and (ii) non-vested restricted stock units and performance stock units (collectively, the “Stock Units”).

In periods in which the Company has a net loss, diluted loss per share is based on the basis of basic weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding as the effect of including common stock equivalents outstanding would be anti-dilutive. As the Company was in a net loss position for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, 0.2 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and non-vested Stock Units, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted earnings per share:

Diluted earnings per share calculations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended February 28, 2026, excluded 2.4 million and 1.7 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and non-vested Stock Units, respectively, that would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share calculations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended March 1, 2025, excluded 0.4 million and 0.7 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and non-vested Stock Units, respectively, that would have been anti-dilutive.

12. Omnibus Incentive Plan

Stock-based compensation includes stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock unit awards, and stock appreciation rights, which are awarded to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation expense is included within General and administrative expense, which is the same financial statement caption where recipient’s other compensation is reported.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $4.5 million and $4.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended February 28, 2026, and March 1, 2025, respectively, and $7.6 million and $8.8 million during the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, and March 1, 2025, respectively. The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026 are inclusive of the recognition of $1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense in connection with the separation of the Company’s prior President and Chief Executive Officer in January 2026.

In January 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved The Simply Good Foods Company Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which replaced the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to assist the Company to attract, retain, and motivate officers and employees of, consultants to, and non-employee directors providing services to, the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business by providing these participating individuals with a proprietary interest in the Company’s performance.

President and Chief Executive Officer Stock Inducement Award

In connection with the hiring of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer on January 19, 2026, the Board of Directors granted a stock option exercisable for the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $20.93 per share (the “CEO Stock Option Inducement Award”). This stock option is considered an inducement grant pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) whereby the underlying shares were authorized outside of the Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan in connection with the commencement of the new President and Chief Executive Officer’s employment. The CEO Stock Option Inducement Grant has a term that expires on January 19, 2034, and vests in three substantially equal installments on the anniversary of the grant date beginning January 19, 2027. The fair value of the Inducement Grant was $7.38 per share and was computed using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes stock option activity, inclusive of the CEO Stock Option Inducement Award, for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026:

As of February 28, 2026, the Company had $14.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. During the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, and March 1, 2025, the Company received $1.1 million and $10.1 million in cash from stock option exercises, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026:

As of February 28, 2026, the Company had $15.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Performance Stock Units

During the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, the Board of Directors granted performance stock units under the Company’s Incentive Plan and Prior Plan. The number of shares issuable as a result of grants of performance stock units is determined based on market-based criteria, performance-based criteria, or a combination of market-based criteria and performance-based criteria. The number of shares may be increased or decreased based on the results of these metrics in accordance with the terms established at the date of grant.

For market-based criteria awards, the Company’s relative total shareholder return, or relative TSR, is measured for the Company and each company in the Russell 3000 Food & Beverage index using the immediately preceding 30-day average share price at the beginning and end of the applicable three-year performance period. The percentile rank of the Company’s TSR relative to that of the peer group determines the percent of the target award earned, ranging between 0% and 200%. The related compensation expense is recognized ratably over the term regardless of whether or not the market condition is satisfied, provided the requisite service is rendered. These units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.

For Company financial performance-based criteria awards, we estimate the probability that the Company’s internally established performance criteria will be achieved at each reporting period and adjust compensation expense accordingly. The performance metrics achieved determines the percent of the target award earned, ranging between 0% and 200%. These units are valued using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

For market-based criteria and Company financial performance-based criteria awards, the Company’s TSR within the peer group and the performance metrics achieved determines the percent of the target award earned, ranging between 0% and 275%. We estimate the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved at each reporting period and adjust compensation expense accordingly. Should the performance-based criteria not be probable of being achieved, the compensation expense for the value of the award incorporating the market-based criteria is recognized ratably over the term, provided the requisite service is rendered. These units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.

The following table summarizes performance stock unit activity for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026:

Performance stock units are generally granted to employees as a part of the annual grant in November of the associated fiscal year, although the Board of Directors reserves the right to administer mid-year grants from time to time as they see fit. The fair value of each performance stock unit grant with a market-based TSR component is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte-Carlo simulation based on the following assumptions presented below which are associated with each year’s annual grant:

As of February 28, 2026, the Company had $5.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance stock units that will be recognized over an expected weighted average period of 2.2 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) permit the holder to participate in the appreciation of the Company’s common stock price and are awarded to non-employee consultants of the Company. The SARs settle in shares of its common stock once the applicable vesting criteria have been met. The SARs outstanding as of February 28, 2026, cliff vested two years from the date of grant and must be exercised within five years from the date of grant.

The following table summarizes SARs activity for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026:

The SARs outstanding as of the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, are liability-classified; therefore, the related stock-based compensation expense is based on the vesting provisions and the fair value of the awards.

13. Segment Information

The Company has completed its efforts to fully integrate its operations and organizational structure after the OWYN Acquisition. As of February 28, 2026, the Company determined its operations are organized into one consolidated operating segment and reportable segment, represented by the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Previously, as of March 1, 2025, the Company’s operations were organized into two operating segments, Quest and Atkins, and OWYN, which were aggregated into one reportable segment due to similar financial, economic and operating characteristics.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CODM regularly reviews consolidated segment performance including net sales, significant expenses, net income, Adjusted EBITDA, budget to actual variance analysis, as well as other key metrics. The CODM uses net income as the measure of profitability to assess segment performance and allocate resources. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The following table summarizes our segment net sales, significant expenses, and net income for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended February 28, 2026, and March 1, 2025:

14. Restructuring and Other

For the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, the Company incurred $4.5 million of costs for restructuring activities which have been included within General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Changes to the restructuring liability during twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026 were as follows:

The Company has also announced certain future restructuring activities in conjunction with the implementation of the Company’s modified organization design and actions to streamline its operations, which will create a more efficient organization that will continue to support and build its business. These restructuring plans primarily include workforce reductions, changes in management structure, actions to streamline its operations and other cost savings initiatives. While early in the process, the Company expects to incur approximately $15.0 million, including the $4.5 million referenced above, in restructuring and other costs, which are to be paid throughout fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027.

In connection with the restructuring activities the Company recorded incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million in connection with the separation of the Company’s prior President and Chief Executive Officer in January 2026. Refer to Note 12, Omnibus Incentive Plan, of our Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information.

The one-time termination benefits and employee severance costs to be incurred in relation to these restructuring activities are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and ASC Topic 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Post employment Benefits, respectively. The Company recognizes a liability and the related expense for these restructuring costs when the liability is incurred and can be measured. Restructuring accruals are based upon management estimates at the time and can change depending upon changes in facts and circumstances subsequent to the date the original liability was recorded.

Overview

The Simply Good Foods Company, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, is a consumer packaged food and beverage company with ambitious goals to raise the bar on what food can be with trusted brands and innovative nutritious snacking products. Within our portfolio of trusted brands (Quest, Atkins, and OWYN), we offer a wide variety of nutritional snacks and beverages, including high protein chips, bars, ready-to-drink (RTD) shakes, and powders, and low sugar, low carb sweets and baked goods. We are a leader of the nutritious snacking movement, poised to expand our healthy lifestyle platform through innovation-driven organic growth and external investment opportunities.

Our nutritious snacking platform consists of brands that specialize in providing products for consumers that follow certain nutritional philosophies and health-and-wellness trends: Quest for consumers seeking a variety of protein-rich foods and beverages that also limit sugars and simple carbohydrates, Atkins for those following a low-carbohydrate lifestyle or seeking to manage weight or blood sugar levels, and OWYN for consumers seeking protein-rich beverages that are plant-based and tested for the top nine allergens that also limit sugars and simple carbohydrates. We distribute our products in major retail channels, primarily in North America, including grocery, club, and mass merchandise, and through e-commerce, convenience, specialty, and other channels. Our portfolio of nutritious snacking brands gives us a strong platform with which to introduce new products, expand distribution, and attract new consumers to our products.

The Simply Good Foods Company (“Simply Good Foods”) was formed in March 2017 to acquire NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc. (“Atkins”), which was completed in July 2017. As part of Simply Good Foods’ strategy to become an industry-leading snacking platform, we acquired Quest Nutrition, LLC (“Quest”) in November 2019 and we acquired Only What You Need, Inc. in June 2024. We refer to the acquisition of Quest Nutrition, LLC as the “Quest Acquisition” and the acquisition of Only What You Need, Inc. as the “OWYN Acquisition”.

Business Trends

During the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, our results of operations were primarily driven by continued distribution-related declines for Atkins and recent velocity-related declines for OWYN, which were partially offset by Quest volume-driven growth. In recent periods, retail distribution for the Atkins brand has been under pressure. The Atkins brand has had, and continues to have, a large retail presence on-shelf, which is being reduced in the current fiscal year and could be reduced in future periods. In response, during the current fiscal year, we are taking actions to bolster the highest performing Atkins products and simultaneously working with retailers to replace lower performing Atkins products with higher performing products. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, OWYN experienced poor velocities, including on newly expanded distribution, which will result in distribution-related declines in the current fiscal year and could continue to be reduced in future periods. In response, the Company is taking actions to increase consumer demand to restore velocities and growth for the brand.

year, with productivity a modest offset in the quarter. Margins are expected to remain under pressure until the Company realizes the benefits expected from recently implemented pricing actions, productivity initiatives and other mitigating actions, which are expected to build as the fiscal year progresses. We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties such as consumer and economic uncertainty, key ingredient inflation, supply chain challenges, and the effects of tariffs, which may have adverse effects on net sales and profitability. We are continuing to evaluate these factors and our ability to potentially offset all or a portion of cost increases through pricing actions and cost savings efforts. Economic pressures on customers and consumers, including the challenges of high inflation and the effects of tariffs, may negatively affect our net sales and profitability in the future.

The ongoing conflict in Iran and geopolitical tensions in the region could lead to significant disruption of global energy supplies and increases in global energy prices, adversely affect global supply chains, heighten inflationary pressures on our input costs and supply chain, and adversely affect consumer spending patterns. We are continuing to evaluate the evolving macroeconomic environment, however at this time we do not expect these factors to result in a material negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Intangible Assets

As a result of the declines of net sales and future revenue projections assessed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company identified a triggering event indicating that it was more likely than not that the fair value of both the OWYN and Atkins brands and trademarks indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their respective carrying amounts. The Company conducted a quantitative assessment as of the last day of its second quarter, February 28, 2026, utilizing an income approach to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets. Based on testing, the respective assets carrying values exceeded their fair values, resulting in a loss on impairment of $187.0 million for OWYN and $62.0 million for Atkins during the thirteen weeks ended February 28, 2026. There were no impairment charges related to the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets during the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025.

We believe the estimates and assumptions utilized in our impairment assessments are reasonable and are comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. However, actual events and results could differ substantially from those utilized in our initial valuations. Significant declines of future revenue projections or changes of other assumptions used in estimating fair values versus those utilized at the time of the initial valuations could result in impairment charges that could materially affect the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 4, Goodwill and Intangibles, of our Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information regarding the Company’s impairment assessments.

Restructuring and Other

For the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, the Company incurred $4.5 million of costs for restructuring activities which have been included within General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of February 28, 2026, the outstanding restructuring liability was $1.1 million. Refer to Note 14, Restructuring and Other, of our Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information regarding restructuring and other activities.

The Company has also announced certain future restructuring activities in conjunction with the implementation of the Company’s modified organization design and actions to streamline its operations, which will create a more efficient organization that will continue to support and build its business. These restructuring plans primarily include workforce reductions, changes in management structure, actions to streamline its operations and other cost savings initiatives. While early in the process, the Company expects to incur approximately $15.0 million, including the $4.5 million referenced above, in restructuring and other costs, which are to be paid throughout fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027.

In connection with the restructuring activities, the Company recorded incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million in connection with the separation of the Company’s prior President and Chief Executive Officer in January 2026. Refer to Note 12, Omnibus Incentive Plan, of our Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information.

We expect to continue building on our existing capabilities and strengthening the position of our brands in the marketplace, and will continue to invest in our business and improve our operating efficiencies.

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a number of key performance indicators used by management and typically used by our competitors, including the non-GAAP measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. See “Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income for each applicable period.

For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, see “Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” below.

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as alternatives to net income as an indicator of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP). The Company defines EBITDA as net income or loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude the following items: loss on impairment, stock-based compensation expense, business transaction costs, purchase price accounting inventory step-up, integration expenses, term loan transaction fees, restructuring, and other non-core expenses. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when used in conjunction with net income, are useful to provide additional information to investors. Management of the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement net income because these measures reflect operating results of the on-going operations, eliminate items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s underlying operating performance, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics the Company’s management uses in its financial and operational decision making. The Company also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in the non-GAAP calculation.

The following unaudited table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income, for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, and March 1, 2025:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have historically funded our operations with cash flow from operations and, when needed, with borrowings under our Credit Agreement (as defined below). Our principal uses of cash have been working capital, debt service, repurchases of our common stock, and acquisition opportunities.

We had $107.4 million in cash as of February 28, 2026. We believe our sources of liquidity and capital will be sufficient to finance our continued operations, growth strategy and additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next twelve months. As circumstances warrant, we may issue debt and/or equity securities from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. We make no assurance that we can issue and sell such securities on acceptable terms or at all.

Our material future cash requirements from contractual and other obligations relate primarily to our principal and interest payments for our Term Facility, as defined and discussed below, and our operating leases. Refer to Note 5, Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit, and Note 8, Leases, of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for additional information related to the expected timing and amount of payments related to our contractual and other obligations.

Debt and Credit Facilities

On July 7, 2017, the Company (through certain of its subsidiaries) entered into a credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement at that time provided for (i) a term facility of $200.0 million (“Term Facility”) with a seven-year maturity and (ii) a revolving credit facility of up to $75.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a five-year maturity. Substantially concurrent with the consummation of the business combination which formed the Company between Conyers Park Acquisition Corp. and NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc. on July 7, 2017, the full $200.0 million of the Term Facility (the “Term Loan”) was drawn.

On November 7, 2019, we entered into a second amendment (the “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $460.0 million. The Term Facility together with the incremental borrowing make up the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Incremental Facility Amendment). The Incremental Facility Amendment was executed to partially finance the acquisition of Quest Nutrition, LLC on November 7, 2019. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the Incremental Facility Amendment.

Effective as of December 16, 2021, we entered into a third amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Extension Amendment provided for an extension of the stated maturity date of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) from July 7, 2022, to the earlier of (i) 91 days prior to the then-effective maturity date of the Initial Term Loans and (ii) December 16, 2026.

On January 21, 2022, we entered into the “2022 Repricing Amendment” to the Credit Agreement. The 2022 Repricing Amendment, among other things, (i) reduced the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of the 2022 Repricing Amendment, (ii) reset the prepayment premium for the existing Initial Term Loans to apply to Repricing Transactions (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that occur within six months after the effective date of the 2022 Repricing Amendment, and (iii) implemented SOFR and related replacement provisions for LIBOR.

On April 25, 2023, the Company entered into the “2023 Repricing Amendment” to the Credit Agreement. The 2023 Repricing Amendment, (i) reduced the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to April 25, 2023, and (ii) provided for an extension of the maturity date of the Initial Term Loans from July 7, 2024, to March 17, 2027.

On June 13, 2024, the Company entered into a sixth amendment (the “2024 Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $250.0 million. The terms of the incremental borrowing are the same as the terms of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility. The 2024 Incremental Facility Amendment was executed to partially finance the OWYN Acquisition. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the 2024 Incremental Facility Amendment.

On January 31, 2025, the Company entered into a seventh amendment (the “2025 Repricing Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to reduce the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of the 2025 Repricing Amendment.

On November 19, 2025, the Company entered into an eighth amendment (the “2026 Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $150.0 million and provided for an extension of the maturity date from March 17, 2027 to March 17, 2030. The 2026 Incremental Facility Amendment also provided for an extension of the stated maturity date of the

Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) from December 16, 2026, to the earlier of (i) 91 days prior to the then-effective maturity date of the Term Facility and (ii) December 16, 2029. The terms of the incremental borrowing are substantially the same as the terms of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility. No amounts of the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the 2026 Incremental Facility Amendment.

Effective as of the 2026 Incremental Facility Amendment, the interest rate per annum for the Initial Term Loans is based on either:

i.A base rate equaling the higher of (a) the “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% plus (x) 1.00% margin for the Term Loan or (y) 1.00% margin for the Revolving Credit Facility; or

ii.SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus (x) 2.00% margin for the Term Loan or (y) 2.00% margin for the Revolving Credit Facility.

In connection with the closing of the 2026 Incremental Facility Amendment, the Company expensed $2.7 million of non-deferrable third-party costs through General and administrative within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and capitalized $2.6 million of upfront lender fees (original issue discount) and third-party financing costs.

The Simply Good Foods Company is not a borrower under the Credit Agreement and has not provided a guarantee of the Credit Agreement. Simply Good Foods USA, Inc., is the administrative borrower and certain other subsidiary holding companies are co-borrowers under the Credit Agreement. Each of our domestic subsidiaries that is not a named borrower under the Credit Agreement has provided a guarantee on a secured basis. As security for the payment or performance of the debt under the Credit Agreement, the borrowers and the guarantors have pledged certain equity interests in their respective subsidiaries and granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their domestic assets. All guarantors other than Quest Nutrition, LLC and Only What You Need, Inc. are holding companies with no assets other than their investments in their respective subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur and/or undertake asset sales and other dispositions, liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions and investments, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations and other fundamental changes, payment of dividends and other distributions to equity and warrant holders, and prepayments of material subordinated debt, in each case, subject to customary exceptions materially consistent with credit facilities of such type and size. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum total net leverage ratio equal to or less than 6.00:1.00 contingent on credit extensions in excess of 30% of the total amount of commitments available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the credit facilities may result in an event of default. We were in compliance with all covenants as of February 28, 2026, and August 30, 2025, respectively.

As of February 28, 2026, the outstanding balance of the Term Facility was $400.0 million. We are not required to make principal payments on the Term Facility over the twelve months following the period ended February 28, 2026. The outstanding balance of the Term Facility is due upon its maturity in March 2030. As of February 28, 2026, there were no amounts drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company adopted a stock repurchase program in November 2018. On January 6, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a $200.0 million repurchase authorization under its stock repurchase program (the “Current Authorization”). Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Company and does not have an expiration date.

During the thirteen weeks ended February 28, 2026, the Company repurchased 4,606,990 shares of common stock at an average price of $19.21 per share, inclusive of commissions and exclusive of accrued excise tax. During the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, the Company repurchased 9,590,504 shares of common stock at an average price of $19.62 per share, inclusive of commissions and exclusive of accrued excise tax. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 requires a 1% excise tax on the net amount of share repurchases. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. As of February 28, 2026, approximately $182.5 million remained available under the Current Authorization.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the major sources and uses of cash for each of the periods set forth below (in thousands):

Operating activities. Our net cash provided by operating activities decreased $5.1 million to $58.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, compared to $63.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in working capital for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, as compared to the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. Changes in working capital, comprised of changes in accounts receivable, net, inventories, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued interest, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other assets and liabilities, were driven by the timing of payments and receipts, which provided cash of $23.0 million in the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, compared to $41.6 million of cash used in the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025, a difference of $18.5 million. Loss from operations was $175.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, as compared to income from operations of $109.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. The decrease was driven by higher operating expenses, primarily the loss on impairment. Additionally, cash paid for interest was $9.8 million in the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, which was a decrease of $3.7 million as compared to the $13.5 million paid for interest in the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025.

Investing activities. Our net cash used in investing activities was $7.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, compared to an immaterial amount for the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. Our net cash used in investing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, was primarily comprised of $7.6 million of purchases of property and equipment. The immaterial amount of net cash used in investing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025, was primarily comprised of $0.8 million of purchases of property and equipment and $0.9 million of investments in intangible and other assets, and was offset by $1.7 million of cash proceeds received from escrow related to net working capital adjustments related to the OWYN Acquisition.

Financing activities. Our net cash used in financing activities was $41.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, compared to $92.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. Net cash used in financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026, primarily consisted of $188.2 million in repurchases of common stock, inclusive of commissions and exclusive of accrued excise tax, and $2.0 million in tax payments related to the issuance of restricted stock units and performance stock units, partially offset by $150.0 million in proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and $1.1 million of cash proceeds received from option exercises. Net cash used in financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025, primarily consisted of $100.0 million in principal payments on the Term Facility, and $2.5 million in tax payments related to issuance of restricted stock units and performance stock units, partially offset by $10.1 million of cash proceeds received from option exercises.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes in our market risk exposure during the thirteen-week period ended February 28, 2026. For a discussion of our market risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures.

Management, including the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of February 28, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
