United Natural Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “UNFI”) is a leading distributor of natural, organic, specialty, produce and conventional grocery and non-food products, and provider of support services to retailers. The Company sells its products primarily throughout the United States and Canada.

The Company’s fiscal years end on the Saturday closest to July 31 and contain either 52 or 53 weeks. Fiscal 2024 will contain 53 weeks with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 containing 14 weeks. References to the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 relate to the 13-week fiscal quarters ended October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally required in complete financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the Company’s opinion, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). There were no material changes in significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Report.

The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements certain immaterial amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on reported net income, cash flows, or total assets and liabilities.

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company’s banking arrangements allow it to fund outstanding checks when presented to the financial institution for payment. The Company funds all intraday bank balance overdrafts during the same business day. Checks outstanding in excess of bank balances create book overdrafts, which are recorded in Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as an operating activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of October 28, 2023 and July 29, 2023, the Company had net book overdrafts of $328 million and $308 million, respectively.

Substantially all of the Company’s inventories consist of finished goods. To value discrete inventory items at lower of cost or net realizable value before application of any last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) reserve, the Company utilizes the weighted average cost method, perpetual cost method, the retail inventory method and the replacement cost method. Allowances for vendor funds and cash discounts received from suppliers are recorded as a reduction to Inventories, net and subsequently within Cost of sales upon the sale of the related products. Inventory quantities are evaluated throughout each fiscal year based on physical counts in the Company’s distribution facilities and stores. Allowances for inventory shortages are recorded based on the results of these counts. The LIFO reserve was approximately $351 million and $344 million as of October 28, 2023 and July 29, 2023, respectively, which is recorded within Inventories, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The Company is in the process of reviewing the provisions of the amendments in this update but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in fiscal 2025, and the interim disclosure requirements will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of the amendments in this update and evaluating their impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company records revenue to five customer channels within Net sales, which are described below:

•Chains, which consists of customer accounts that typically have more than 10 operating stores and excludes stores included within the Supernatural and Other channels defined below;

•Independent retailers, which includes smaller size accounts including single store and multiple store locations, and group purchasing entities that are not classified within Chains above or Other defined below;

•Supernatural, which consists of chain accounts that are national in scope and carry primarily natural products, and currently consists solely of one customer;

•Retail, which reflects the Company’s Retail segment, including Cub® Foods and Shoppers® stores; and

•Other, which includes international customers outside of Canada, foodservice, eCommerce, conventional military business and other sales.

The following tables detail the Company’s Net sales for the periods presented by customer channel for each of its segments. The Company does not record its revenues within its Wholesale reportable segment for financial reporting purposes by product group, and it is therefore impracticable for it to report them accordingly.

(1)Eliminations primarily includes the net sales elimination of Wholesale to Retail sales and the elimination of sales from segments included within Other to Wholesale.

The Company serves customers in the United States and Canada, as well as customers located in other countries. However, all of the Company’s revenue is earned in the United States and Canada, and international distribution occurs through freight-forwarders. The Company does not have any performance obligations on international shipments subsequent to delivery to the domestic port.

Accounts and notes receivable are as follows:

During the prior year, the Company entered into an agreement to sell, on a revolving basis, certain customer accounts receivable to a third-party financial institution. Accounts receivable that the Company is servicing on behalf of the financial institution, which would have otherwise been outstanding as of October 28, 2023 and July 29, 2023, was approximately $326 million and $310 million, respectively. Net proceeds received are included within cash from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The loss on sale of receivables was $5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and is recorded within Loss (gain) on sale of assets and other asset charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would dispose of one of its corporate-owned office locations before the end of its previously estimated useful life. As a result, the Company conducted an impairment review and recorded a $21 million non-cash asset impairment charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The fair value utilized in the Company’s impairment review was determined based on the market approach. The impairment charge is recorded within Loss (gain) on sale of assets and other asset charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no asset impairment charges recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Changes in the carrying value of Goodwill by reportable segment that have goodwill consisted of the following:

(1)Wholesale amounts are net of accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $717 million as of July 29, 2023 and October 28, 2023.

(2)Other amounts are net of accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $10 million as of July 29, 2023 and October 28, 2023.

Identifiable intangible assets, net consisted of the following:

Amortization expense was $18 million for the first quarters of fiscal 2024 and 2023. The estimated future amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter on amortizing intangible assets existing as of October 28, 2023 is as shown below:

The following tables provide the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

The fair values of interest rate swap contracts are measured using Level 2 inputs. The interest rate swap contracts are valued using an income approach interest rate swap valuation model incorporating observable market inputs including interest rates, SOFR swap rates and credit default swap rates. As of October 28, 2023, a 100-basis point increase in forward SOFR interest rates would increase the fair value of the interest rate swaps by approximately $6 million; a 100-basis point decrease in forward SOFR interest rates would decrease the fair value of the interest rate swaps by approximately $6 million. Refer to Note 7—Derivatives for further information on interest rate swap contracts.

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued vacation, compensation and benefits, and other current assets and liabilities the fair values approximate carrying amounts due to their short maturities. The fair value of notes receivable is estimated by using a discounted cash flow approach prior to consideration for uncollectible amounts and is calculated by applying a market rate for similar instruments using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of debt is estimated based on market quotes, where available, or market values for similar instruments, using Level 2 and 3 inputs. In the table below, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt is net of original issue discounts and debt issuance costs.

The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts from time to time to mitigate its exposure to changes in market interest rates as part of its overall strategy to manage its debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of notional debt amounts subject to fixed and floating interest rates. Interest rate swap contracts are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The Company’s interest rate swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges as of October 28, 2023. Interest rate swap contracts are reflected at their fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 6—Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments for further information on the fair value of interest rate swap contracts.

Details of active swap contracts as of October 28, 2023, which are all pay fixed and receive floating, are as follows:

The Company performs an initial quantitative assessment of hedge effectiveness using the “Hypothetical Derivative Method” in the period in which the hedging transaction is entered. Under this method, the Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. In future reporting periods, the Company performs a qualitative analysis for quarterly prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness. The Company also monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis and noted that the counterparties are reputable financial institutions. The entire change in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in Other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income and subsequently reclassified to earnings in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged transactions affect earnings.

The location and amount of gains or losses recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for interest rate swap contracts for each of the periods, presented on a pre-tax basis, are as follows:

The Company’s long-term debt consisted of the following:

On October 22, 2020, the Company issued $500 million of unsecured 6.750% senior notes due October 15, 2028 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes, which are presented net of debt issuance costs of $6 million as of October 28, 2023 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that are borrowers under or that guarantee the ABL Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility (defined below).

The revolving credit agreement dated as of June 3, 2022 (the “ABL Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company (the “U.S. Borrower”) and UNFI Canada (the “Canadian Borrower” and, together with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), and the financial institutions that are parties thereto as lenders (collectively, the “ABL Lenders”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as administrative agent for the ABL Lenders, and the other parties thereto, provides for a secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”), of which up to $2,600 million is available to the Borrowers, including a U.S. Dollar equivalent of $100 million sublimit for borrowings in Canadian dollars. Under the ABL Loan Agreement, the Borrowers may, at their option, increase the aggregate amount of the ABL Credit Facility in an amount of up to $750 million without the consent of any ABL Lenders not participating in such increase, subject to certain customary conditions and applicable lenders committing to provide the increase in funding. There is no assurance that additional funding would be available.

The Borrowers’ obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by most of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The Borrowers’ obligations under the ABL Credit Facility and the Guarantors’ obligations under the related guarantees are secured by (i) a first-priority lien on certain accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets arising therefrom or related thereto of the Borrowers and Guarantors (including substantially all of their deposit accounts, collectively, the “ABL Assets”) and (ii) a second-priority lien on all of the Borrowers’ and Guarantors’ assets that do not constitute ABL Assets, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations.

Availability under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”), which is based on 90% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 90% of eligible credit card receivables, plus 90% to 92.5% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus 90% of eligible pharmacy receivables, plus certain availability related to pharmacy prescription files, after adjusting for customary reserves, but at no time shall exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments under the ABL Credit Facility (currently $2,600 million) or the Borrowing Base.

The assets included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets securing the outstanding obligations under the ABL Credit Facility on a first-priority basis were as follows:

As of October 28, 2023, the Borrowers’ Borrowing Base was $2,550 million, reflecting the advance rates described above and $101 million of reserves, which is below the $2,600 million limit of availability. This resulted in total availability of $2,550 million for loans and letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility. The Company’s unused credit under the ABL Credit Facility was as follows:

The applicable interest rates, unutilized commitment fees and letter of credit fees under the ABL Credit Facility are variable and are dependent upon the prior fiscal quarter’s daily Average Availability (as defined in the ABL Loan Agreement), and were as follows:

(1) The U.S. Borrower utilizes SOFR-based loans and the Canadian Borrower utilizes bankers’ acceptance rate-based loans.

The term loan agreement dated as of October 22, 2018 (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company and SUPERVALU INC. (“Supervalu” and, collectively with the Company, the “Term Borrowers”), the financial institutions that are parties thereto as lenders (collectively, the “Term Lenders”), Credit Suisse, as administrative agent for the Term Lenders, and the other parties thereto, provides for a $1,800 million senior secured first lien term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”). The net proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were used to finance the Supervalu acquisition and related transaction costs. Any amounts then outstanding will be payable in full on October 22, 2025.

The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by the Guarantors, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The Term Borrowers’ obligations under the Term Loan Facility and the Guarantors’ obligations under the related guarantees are secured by (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Term Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ assets other than the ABL Assets and (ii) a second-priority lien on substantially all of the Term Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ ABL Assets, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations, including an exception for owned real property with net book values of less than $10 million. As of October 28, 2023 and July 29, 2023, there was $612 million and $617 million, respectively, of owned real property pledged as collateral that was included in Property and equipment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company must prepay loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility no later than 130 days after the fiscal year end in an aggregate principal amount equal to a specified percentage (which percentage ranges from 0 to 75 percent depending on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year) of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), minus certain types of voluntary prepayments of indebtedness made during such fiscal year. The potential amount of prepayment from Excess Cash Flow in fiscal 2024 that may be required in fiscal 2025 is not reasonably estimable as

of October 28, 2023.

As of October 28, 2023, the Company had borrowings of $670 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, which are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets net of debt issuance costs of $7 million and an original issue discount on debt of $6 million. As of October 28, 2023, no amount of the Term Loan Facility was classified as current.

As of October 28, 2023, the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at rates that, at the Term Borrowers’ option, can be either: (i) a base rate plus a margin of 2.25% or (ii) a SOFR rate plus a margin of 3.25%, provided that the SOFR rate shall never be less than 0.0%.

Changes in Accumulated other comprehensive loss by component, net of tax, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were as follows:

Changes in Accumulated other comprehensive loss by component, net of tax, for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were as follows:

Items reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss had the following impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

As of October 28, 2023, the Company expects to reclassify $15 million related to unrealized derivative gains out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and primarily into Interest expense, net during the following twelve-month period.

As of October 28, 2023, there were 2.2 million shares available for issuance under the Second Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.

Net periodic benefit (income) cost and contributions to defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans consisted of the following:

No minimum pension contributions are required to be made to the SUPERVALU INC. Retirement Plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”) in fiscal 2024. The Company expects to contribute approximately $1 million to its other defined benefit pension plans and $1 million to its postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2024.

The Company contributed $13 million and $11 million in the first quarters of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively, to multiemployer pension plans, which contributions are included within Operating expenses.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was a benefit rate of 18.8% on pre-tax loss compared to an expense rate of 6.9% on pre-tax income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The change from the first quarter of fiscal 2023 is primarily driven by the reduction of discrete tax benefits related to employee stock award vestings in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. In addition, the first quarter of fiscal 2023 included a tax benefit from the release of reserves for unrecognized tax positions that did not recur in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The primary driver for the variation between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate for the first quarters of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 were discrete tax detriments and benefits, respectively, resulting from share award vestings.

(1)(Loss) earnings per share amounts are calculated using actual unrounded figures.

The Company has two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail. These reportable segments are two distinct businesses, each with a different customer base, marketing strategy and management structure. The Company organizes and operates the Wholesale reportable segment through three U.S geographic regions: East, Central and West, and Canada Wholesale, which is operated separately from the U.S. Wholesale business. The U.S. Wholesale and Canada Wholesale operating segments have similar products and services, customer channels, distribution methods and economic characteristics, and therefore have been aggregated into a single reportable segment. Reportable segments are reviewed on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a change in reportable segments has occurred.

The following table provides information by reportable segment, including Net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, with a reconciliation to (Loss) income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and payments for capital expenditures:
