License Agreements
We have entered into license agreements that provide for royalty payments on net sales of licensed products as set forth in the agreements. These license agreements are within our branded segment. We incurred royalty expense (included in SG&A expenses) of $51 thousand and $2.2 million in each of the third quarters of fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively. Royalty expense for the nine-month periods ended July 1, 2017, and July 2, 2016, were approximately $2.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Our license agreements have been predominately associated with the Junkfood business, which was sold on March 31, 2017. See Note D—Sale of Junkfood for further information on this transaction.
