This report contains numerous forward-looking statements within the meaning

and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
 
“Exchange Act”) relating to our shell egg business, including
 
estimated future production data, expected construction schedules,
 
projected construction costs, potential future supply of and demand
 
for our products, potential future corn and soybean price trends, potential
 
future impact on our business of inflation and rising interest rates,
 
potential future impact on our business of new legislation, rules
 
or policies, potential outcomes of legal proceedings, and other
 
projected operating data, including anticipated results of operations
 
and financial condition. Such forward-looking statements are
 
identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,”
 
“hopes,” “may,” “should,” “plans,” “projected,”
 
“contemplates,” “anticipates,” or similar words. Actual outcomes or results
 
could differ materially from those projected in the forward
 
-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s
 
current intent, belief, expectations, estimates, and projections regarding
 
the Company and its industry. These statements are
 
not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions,
 
and other factors that are difficult to predict and may
 
be beyond our control. The factors that could cause actual results to differ
 
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include,
 
among others, (i) the risk factors set forth in Part I Item 1A of the
 
2023 Annual Report, the risk
 
factors (if any) set forth in Part II Item 1A Risk Factors and
 
elsewhere in this report as well as those included in other reports we
 
file from time to time with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including
 
our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form
 
8-K), (ii) the risks and hazards inherent in the shell egg business (including
 
disease, pests, weather conditions, and potential for product recall),
 
including but not limited to the current outbreak of highly
 
pathogenic avian influenza (“HPAI”) affecting poultry in the
 
United States (“U.S.”), Canada and other countries that was first detected
 
in commercial flocks in the U.S. in February 2022, (iii) changes
 
in the demand for and market prices of shell eggs and feed costs, (iv)
 
our ability to predict and meet demand for cage-free and other
 
specialty eggs, (v) risks, changes, or obligations that could result from
 
our future acquisition of new flocks or businesses and risks or changes
 
that may cause conditions to completing a pending acquisition
 
not to be met, (vi) risks relating to increased costs and higher
 
and potentially further increases in, inflation and interest rates,
 
which began in response to market conditions caused in part by
 
the COVID-19 pandemic and which generally have been exacerbated
 
by the Russia-Ukraine War that began in February 2022, (vii) our ability
 
to retain existing customers, acquire new customers
 
and grow our product mix and (viii) adverse results in pending litigation
 
matters. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
 
on forward-looking statements because, while we believe the assumptions
 
on which the forward-looking statements are based are
 
reasonable, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements
 
will prove to be accurate. Further, forward-looking statements
 
included herein are only made as of the respective dates thereof,
 
or if no date is stated, as of the date hereof. Except as otherwise required
 
by law, we disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly
 
these forward-looking statements, whether because of new information,
future events, or otherwise. Notice Regarding Non‐GAAP Financial
 
Measures In addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, this presentation
 
contains and may refer to certain non‐GAAP financial
 
measures. These non‐GAAP financial measures are in addition to,
 
not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance
 
prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non‐GAAP financial measures
 
should not be considered replacements for, and should be read together
 
with, the most comparable GAAP financial measures.
 
Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures
 
and statements of why management believes these measures are useful
 
to investors are included herein if the reconciliation is not presented on

returns through cycle 1) Company filings 2) Dividends Payable:
 
We accrue dividends at the end of each quarter according to the Company’s
 
dividend policy adopted by its Board of Directors. The Company
 
pays a dividend to shareholders of its Common Stock and Class A Common
 
Stock on a quarterly basis for each quarter for which the Company
 
reports net income attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. computed
 
in accordance with GAAP in an amount equal to one-third (1/3) of such
 
quarterly income. Dividends are paid to shareholders of record
 
as of the 60th day following the last day of such quarter, except
 
for the fourth fiscal quarter. For the fourth quarter, the Company
 
pays dividends to shareholders of record on the 65th day after the
 
quarter end. Dividends are payable on the 15th day following the record
 
date. Following a quarter for which the Company does not report net income
 
attributable to Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., the Company will not pay
 
a dividend for a subsequent profitable quarter until the Company
 
is profitable on a cumulative basis computed from the date of the most recent
 
quarter for which a dividend was paid. The dividend policy
 
is subject to periodic review by the Board of Directors. Slide 29 – M&A
 
case study - Mahard Egg Farm in 2019 1) ROI is determined
 
by dividing cumulative net cash flows from acquisition through
 
FY 2023 by the total investment, encompassing the initial purchase
 
price and subsequent investments. Cash flows are based on actual sales
 
volumes and customer prices at Mahard locations, deducting production
 
costs, SG&A and delivery expenses. Tax savings from
 
depreciation are factored in, but synergies from the acquisition are
 
not included in the cash
flow calculation. 2) IRR is computed by discounting estimated
 
cash flows from acquisition to FY 2023. Cash flows include initial and
 
subsequent investments, actual volumes sold, and customer prices
 
from Mahard locations, minus production costs and SG&A expenses.
 
Tax savings from depreciation are considered, but synergies
 
from the acquisition are excluded from the cash flow calculation.
 
3) Payback Period calculated using cumulative, non-discounted
 
cash flows. Slide 30 – Scaling hard-cooked egg offerings, optimizing
 
throughput and category reach 1) As of Q1 2024, facility has the
 
capacity to produce approximately 615 thousand pounds of weekly
 
hard-cooked egg products. CAL-MAINE FOODS | INVESTOR PRESENTATION
