NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS July 1, 2023 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BlueLinx Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). We derived the condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 1, 2023, from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 21, 2023. In the opinion of our management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of our statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, our balance sheets at July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our statements of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, and our statements of cash flows for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022. We have condensed or omitted certain notes and other information from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report. Therefore, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. The results for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year ending December 30, 2023, or any other interim period. We operate on a 5-4-4 fiscal calendar. Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 of that fiscal year and may comprise 53 weeks in certain years. Our 2023 fiscal year contains 52 weeks and ends on December 30, 2023. Fiscal 2022 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 31, 2022. Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions, which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation For the six months ended July 2, 2022, we have reclassified certain items within the presentation of our statement of cash flows to align with our statement of cash flows presentation for the six months ended July 1, 2023. Our reclassifications are limited to the operating activities section and include presenting pension contributions, which were previously presented within the change of other assets and liabilities, as an individual item within changes in operating assets and liabilities. These reclassifications, we believe, provide an enhanced level of transparency with regards to the presentation of our statement of cash flows. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Credit Impairment Losses. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).” This ASU sets forth a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial instruments or other assets (e.g., trade receivables), held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model, is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity's portfolio. The Company adopted this standard on a modified retrospective basis in the first quarter of 2022 and the implementation did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The standard provides temporary guidance to ease the 5 potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform primarily resulting from the discontinuation of the publication of certain tenors of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on December 31, 2021, with complete elimination of the publication of the LIBOR by June 30, 2023. The amendments in this ASU are elective and apply to all entities that have contracts referencing the LIBOR. The Company’s revolving credit agreement, as further discussed in Note 6, Long-Term Debt , to these condensed consolidated financial statements, was amended on June 27, 2023, to replace references to LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for determining interest payable on current and future borrowings. The guidance in this ASU provides a practical expedient which simplifies accounting analyses under current U.S. GAAP for contract modifications if the change is directly related to a change from the LIBOR to a new interest rate index. The Company adopted this standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2022. The implementation did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or to any key terms of our revolving credit agreement other than the discontinuation of the LIBOR. 2. Business Combinations On October 3, 2022, we acquired all the outstanding stock of Vandermeer Forest Products, Inc. (“Vandermeer”), a premier wholesale distributor of building products, for preliminary total consideration of $ 69.3 million. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition date fair values. The acquisition accounting, including fair value estimations, is subject to change as we finalize all assessments of the assets and liabilities that were acquired on the acquisition date. The primary area of the preliminary acquisition accounting that is not yet finalized relates to settlement of the holdback liability. As of the date of the acquisition, the holdback liability was $ 6.3 million. During the first fiscal quarter of 2023, $ 0.3 million of the holdback liability was returned to the Company for adjustments related to final cash and working capital balances, reducing preliminary total consideration from $ 69.3 million to $ 69.0 million. The remaining holdback liability of $ 6.0 million is scheduled to be settled approximately 18 months after the acquisition date. 3. Inventories Our inventories consist almost entirely of finished goods inventory, with an immaterial amount of work-in-process inventory. The cost of all inventories is determined by the moving average cost method. We have included all material charges directly incurred in bringing inventory to its existing condition and location. We evaluate our inventory value at the end of each quarter to ensure that inventory, when viewed by category, is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which also considers items that may be considered damaged, excess, and obsolete inventory. As of July 1, 2023, we assessed the carrying value of our inventory and determined it was presented at the lower of cost or net realizable value and that a reserve was not necessary. As of December 31, 2022, we recorded a lower of cost or net realizable value reserve of $ 2.6 million as a result of the decrease in the value of our structural lumber and panel inventory related to the decline in wood-based commodity prices as of the end of the period. 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets In connection with our past merger and acquisition activity, we acquired certain intangible assets. As of July 1, 2023, our intangible assets consist of goodwill and other intangible assets including customer relationships, noncompete agreements, and trade names. Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets (including customer relationships, noncompete agreements, and trade names) acquired, and liabilities assumed, under acquisition accounting for business combinations. As of July 1, 2023, goodwill was $ 55.4 million. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but must be tested for impairment at least annually. This test requires us to assign goodwill to a reporting unit and to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. We evaluate goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. In addition, we will evaluate the carrying value for impairment between annual impairment tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Such events and indicators may include, without limitation, significant declines in the 6 industries in which our products are used, significant changes in capital market conditions, and significant changes in our market capitalization. No such indicators were present during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The following table provides information related to the carrying amount of our goodwill: Total Carrying Amount (In thousands) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 55,372 Acquisitions — Balance at April 1, 2023 $ 55,372 Acquisitions — Balance at July 1, 2023 $ 55,372 Definite-Lived Intangible Assets The gross carrying amounts, accumulated amortization, and net carrying amounts of our definite-lived intangible assets at July 1, 2023 were as follows: Intangible Asset Weighted Average Remaining Useful Lives (Years) Gross Carrying Amounts Accumulated Amortization (1) Net Carrying Amounts (In thousands) Customer relationships 9 $ 48,500 $ ( 17,004 ) $ 31,496 Noncompete agreements 4 8,954 ( 8,359 ) 595 Trade names 2 7,826 ( 7,076 ) 750 Total $ 65,280 $ ( 32,439 ) $ 32,841 (1) Intangible assets except customer relationships are amortized on straight line basis. Certain of our customer relationships are amortized on a double declining balance method and certain others are amortized on a straight line basis. Amortization Expense Amortization expense for our definite-lived intangible assets was $ 1.0 million and $ 2.1 million for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2023, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2022, amortization expense was $ 0.6 million and $ 1.7 million, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets for the remaining portion of 2023 and the next five fiscal years is as follows: Fiscal Year Estimated Amortization (In thousands) 2023 $ 2,066 2024 3,930 2025 3,765 2026 3,471 2027 3,340 2028 3,340 7 5. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) Contract with the customer has been identified; (2) Performance obligations in the contract have been identified; (3) Transaction price has been determined; (4) Transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) When (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Contracts with our customers are generally in the form of standard terms and conditions of sale. From time to time, we may enter into specific contracts, which may affect delivery terms. Performance obligations in our contracts generally consist solely of delivery of goods. For all sales channel types, consisting of warehouse, direct, and reload sales, we typically satisfy our performance obligations upon shipment. Our customer payment terms are typical for our industry, and may vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not deemed to be significant by us. For certain sales channels and/or products, our standard terms of payment may be as early as ten days. In addition, we provide inventory to certain customers through pre-arranged agreements on a consignment basis. Customer consigned inventory is maintained and stored by certain customers; however, ownership and risk of loss remain with us. All revenues recognized are net of trade allowances (i.e., rebates), cash discounts, and sales returns. Cash discounts and sales returns are estimated using historical experience. Trade allowances are based on the estimated obligations and historical experience. Adjustments to earnings resulting from revisions to estimates on discounts and returns have been insignificant for each of the reported periods. Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. We believe that there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration. The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by revenue source. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.

Warehouse sales are delivered from our warehouses. Reload sales are similar to warehouse sales but are shipped from warehouses, most of which are operated by third-parties, where we store owned products to enhance our operating efficiencies. This channel is employed primarily to service strategic customers that would be less economical to service from our warehouses, and to distribute large volumes of imported products from port facilities. Direct sales are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer without our taking physical possession of the inventory and, as a result, typically generate lower margins than our warehouse and reload distribution channels. This distribution channel requires the lowest amount of committed capital and fixed costs. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.

Long-Term Debt As of July 1, 2023, and December 31, 2022, long-term debt consisted of the following: July 1, 2023 December 31, 2022 (In thousands) Senior secured notes (1) $ 300,000 $ 300,000 Revolving credit facility (2) — — Finance lease obligations (3) 271,188 273,075 571,188 573,075 Unamortized debt issuance costs ( 3,651 ) ( 4,057 ) Unamortized bond discount costs ( 3,265 ) ( 3,519 ) 564,272 565,499 Less: current maturities of long-term debt 8,238 7,089 Long-term debt, net of current maturities $ 556,034 $ 558,410 (1) As of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our long-term debt was comprised of $ 300.0 million of senior secured notes issued in October 2021. These notes are presented under the long-term debt caption of our condensed consolidated balance sheets at $ 293.1 million and $ 292.4 million at July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This presentation is net of their discount of $ 3.3 million and $ 3.5 million and the combined carrying value of our debt issuance costs of $ 3.7 million and $ 4.1 million at July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our senior secured notes are presented in this table at their face value. (2) The average effective interest rate for our revolving credit facility was zero percent for the quarters ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022. (3) Refer to Note 9, Leases , for interest rates associated with finance lease obligations. Senior Secured Notes In October 2021, we completed a private offering of $ 300.0 million of our six percent senior secured notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), and in connection therewith we entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with the guarantors party thereto and Truist Bank, as trustee and collateral agent. The 2029 Notes were issued to investors at 98.625 percent of their principal amount and will mature on November 15, 2029. The majority of net proceeds from the offering of the 2029 Notes were used to repay borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below. As of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of our 2029 Notes was approximately $ 274.0 million and $ 283.6 million, respectively, which are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Our valuation technique is based primarily on observable market prices in less active markets. Revolving Credit Facility Our revolving credit facility, entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and certain other financial institutions party thereto, provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving loan and letter of credit facility of up to $ 350.0 million. Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets (other than real property), including inventories, accounts receivable, and proceeds from those items. On June 27, 2023, we entered in to a third amendment to the credit facility to, among other things, replace the interest rate based on LIBOR applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement with an interest rate based on the SOFR and a customary spread adjustment (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Our Revolving Credit Facility includes available interest rate options and was previously based on LIBOR, which was discontinued as an available rate option after June 30, 2023. Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) Adjusted Term SOFR (calculated as SOFR plus 0.1 %) plus a margin ranging from 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, with the margin determined based upon average excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for loans based on SOFR, or (ii) the Agent’s base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent, with the margin based upon average excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for loans based on the base rate. 9 Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility are subject to availability under the Borrowing Base (as that term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Borrowers are required to repay revolving loans thereunder to the extent that such revolving loans exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect. Our Revolving Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part from time to time without penalty or premium, but including all breakage costs incurred by any lender thereunder. As of July 1, 2023, we had zero outstanding borrowings and excess availability, including cash in qualified accounts, of $ 764.8 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had zero outstanding borrowings and excess availability, including cash in qualified accounts, of $ 645.4 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. Available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility was $ 346.5 million on July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Our average effective interest rate under the Revolving Credit Facility was zero percent for the quarters ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022. Our Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial and other covenants, and our right to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility is conditioned upon, among other things, our compliance with these covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants under our Revolving Credit Facility as of July 1, 2023. Finance Lease Obligations Our finance lease liabilities consist of leases related to equipment and vehicles, and real estate, with the majority of those finance leases related to real estate. For more information on our finance lease obligations, refer to Note 9, Leases . 7. Net Periodic Pension Cost (Benefit) The following table shows the components of our net periodic pension cost (benefit): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Pension-related items July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 (In thousands) (In thousands) Service cost (1) $ — $ — $ — $ — Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 1,105 606 2,209 1,212 Expected return on plan assets ( 813 ) ( 1,177 ) ( 1,625 ) ( 2,354 ) Amortization of unrecognized gain 302 209 604 418 Net periodic pension cost (benefit) $ 594 $ ( 362 ) $ 1,188 $ ( 724 ) (1) Service cost is not a part of our net periodic pension benefit as our pension plan is frozen for all participants. The net periodic pension cost (benefit) is included in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, we continued our previously announced plan to terminate the BlueLinx Corporation Hourly Retirement Plan (the “plan”) and transfer the management and delivery of continuing benefits associated with the plan to a highly rated and qualified insurance company with pension termination experience. The process for terminating a pension plan involves several regulatory steps and approvals, and typically takes 12 to 18 months to complete. We estimate the plan termination will be completed during fiscal 2023. 8. Stock Compensation During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, we incurred stock compensation expense of $ 1.9 million and $ 6.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, we incurred stock compensation expense of $ 1.8 million and $ 3.9 million, respectively. The increase in our stock compensation expense for the six-month period ended July 1, 2023 is primarily attributable to the acceleration of unrecognized compensation cost in conjunction with our announced leadership transition. As of July 1, 2023, we have accrued $ 0.9 million for tax withholding obligations of our employees upon vesting of restricted stock unit awards. This has been presented as a non-cash transaction in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. 10 9. Leases We have operating and finance leases for certain of our distribution facilities, office space, land, mobile fleet, and equipment. Many of our leases are non-cancelable and typically have a defined initial lease term, and some provide options to renew at our election for specified periods of time. The majority of our leases have remaining lease terms of one to 15 years, some of which include one or more options to extend the leases for five years . Our leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals. Certain of our leases include provisions for escalating rent based on, among other things, contractually defined increases and/or changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The known changes to lease payments are included in the lease liability at lease commencement. Unknown changes related to CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. In addition, a subset of our vehicle lease cost is considered variable. Some of our leases require us to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses associated with the leased assets. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and assess lease classification as either operating or finance at lease inception or modification. Operating lease right-of use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are presented separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in property and equipment and the finance lease obligations are presented separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When a lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. We have also made the accounting policy election to not separate lease components from non-lease components related to our mobile fleet asset class. Finance Lease Liabilities Our finance lease liabilities consist of leases related to equipment and vehicles, and real estate. As noted in the table below, a majority of our finance leases, formally known as capital leases, relate to real estate. The following table presents our assets and liabilities related to our leases as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022: Lease assets and liabilities July 1, 2023 December 31, 2022 (In thousands) Assets Classification Operating lease right-of-use assets Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 43,601 $ 45,717 Finance lease right-of-use assets (1) Property and equipment, net 130,804 132,748 Total lease right-of-use assets $ 174,405 $ 178,465 Liabilities Current portion Operating lease liabilities Operating lease liabilities - short term $ 7,085 $ 7,432 Finance lease liabilities Finance lease liabilities - short term 8,238 7,089 Non-current portion Operating lease liabilities Operating lease liabilities - long term 37,853 40,011 Finance lease liabilities Finance lease liabilities - long term 262,950 265,986 Total lease liabilities $ 316,126 $ 320,518 (1) Finance lease right-of-use assets are presented net of accumulated amortization of $ 94.3 million and $ 90.1 million as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 11 The components of lease expense were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Components of lease expense July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 (In thousands) (In thousands) Operating lease cost: Operating lease cost $ 3,116 $ 2,578 $ 6,034 $ 5,095 Sublease income ( 835 ) ( 676 ) ( 1,413 ) ( 1,328 ) Total operating lease costs $ 2,281 $ 1,902 $ 4,621 $ 3,767 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 4,693 $ 4,890 $ 6,782 $ 8,600 Interest on lease liabilities 6,037 6,120 12,081 12,280 Total finance lease costs $ 10,730 $ 11,010 $ 18,863 $ 20,880 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Cash flow information July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 (In thousands) (In thousands) Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 3,133 $ 2,623 $ 6,591 $ 5,151 Operating cash flows from finance leases 6,037 6,120 12,081 12,280 Financing cash flows from finance leases $ 2,133 $ 1,011 $ 4,266 $ 4,733 Non-cash supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Non-cash information July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 (In thousands) (In thousands) Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations Operating leases $ — $ 591 $ — $ 1,127 Finance leases $ 3,400 $ 2,313 $ 3,400 $ 2,313 12 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: Balance sheet information July 1, 2023 December 31, 2022 (In thousands) Finance leases Property and equipment $ 225,134 $ 222,839 Accumulated depreciation ( 94,330 ) ( 90,091 ) Property and equipment, net $ 130,804 $ 132,748 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years) Operating leases 9.19 9.21 Finance leases 13.50 13.97 Weighted Average Discount Rate Operating leases 8.67 % 8.54 % Finance leases 8.90 % 8.87 % The major categories of our finance lease liabilities as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows: Category July 1, 2023 December 31, 2022 (In thousands) Equipment and vehicles $ 27,743 $ 29,300 Real estate 243,445 243,775 Total finance leases $ 271,188 $ 273,075 Under the short-term lease exception provided within ASC 842, we do not record a lease liability or right-of-use asset for any leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at commencement. Below is a summary of undiscounted finance and operating lease liabilities that have initial terms in excess of one year as of July 1, 2023. The table also includes a reconciliation of the future undiscounted cash flows to the present value of the finance and operating lease liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, including options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised.

Commitments and Contingencies Environmental and Legal Matters From time to time, we are involved in various proceedings incidental to our businesses, and we are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which we operate. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty, based on presently available information management believes that adequate reserves have been established for probable losses with respect thereto and receivables have been 13 recorded for expected receipts from settlements. Management further believes that, while the ultimate outcome of one or more of these matters could be material to our operating results in any given quarter, it will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, our results of operations, or our cash flows. Collective Bargaining Agreements As of July 1, 2023, we employed approximately 2,000 associates and less than one percent of our associates are employed on a part-time basis. Approximately 19 percent of our associates are represented by various local labor unions with terms and conditions of employment governed by collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”). Two CBAs covering approximately five percent of our associates are up for renewal in the remainder of fiscal 2023, which we expect to renegotiate before their renewal dates. 11. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income includes both net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income results from items deferred from recognition into our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is separately presented on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as part of stockholders’ equity. The changes in balances for each component of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the six months ended July 1, 2023, were as follows: Defined benefit pension plan, net of tax Other, net of tax Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss December 31, 2022, beginning balance $ ( 32,675 ) $ 1,263 $ ( 31,412 ) Other comprehensive income, net of tax 464 ( 22 ) 442 July 1, 2023, ending balance, net of tax $ ( 32,211 ) $ 1,241 $ ( 30,970 ) 12. Income Taxes Effective Tax Rate Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 were 24.0 percent and 23.1 percent, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 were 25.1 percent and 25.1 percent, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 were impacted by state taxes as well as the permanent addback of certain nondeductible expenses, including meals and entertainment and executive compensation, offset by a benefit from the vesting of restricted stock units, which occurred during each period. For additional information about our income taxes, see Note 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. 13. Income Per Share We calculate basic income per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We calculate diluted income per share using the treasury stock method, by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards, including restricted stock units. 14 The reconciliation of basic net income and diluted net income per common share for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 July 1, 2023 July 2, 2022 (In thousands, except per share data) (In thousands, except per share data) Net income $ 24,466 $ 71,272 $ 42,278 $ 204,681 Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic 9,040 9,324 9,034 9,522 Dilutive effect of share-based awards 17 196 16 188 Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted 9,057 9,520 9,050 9,710 Basic income per share $ 2.70 $ 7.64 $ 4.67 $ 21.49 Diluted income per share $ 2.70 $ 7.48 $ 4.67 $ 21.07 Approximately 49,000 and 21,000 weighted-average share-based awards were excluded from the computation of earnings per share assuming dilution during the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively, as the awards would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. Approximately 40,000 and 13,000 weighted-average share-based awards were excluded from the computation of earnings per share assuming dilution during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively, as the awards would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. 15
