UNITED NATURAL FOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Business

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.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal years end on the Saturday closest to July 31 and contain either 52 or 53 weeks. References to the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 relate to the 13-week fiscal quarters ended February 1, 2025 and January 27, 2024, respectively. References to fiscal 2025 and 2024 year-to-date relate to the 26-week fiscal periods ended February 1, 2025 and January 27, 2024, respectively.

Basis of Presentation

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 August 3, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). There were no material changes in significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

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.

Reclassifications

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 loss, net cash flows, or total assets and liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024, the Company had net book overdrafts of $284 million and $243 million, respectively.

9


Inventories, Net

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 centers and stores. Allowances for inventory shortages are recorded based on the results of these counts. The LIFO reserve was $361 million and $351 million as of February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively, which is recorded within Inventories, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 2—RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 provisions of the amendments in this update will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of enhanced disclosure requirements on the notes to the consolidated financial statements and expects to provide expanded segment disclosures under the new guidance.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments also require disclosure on an annual basis of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes as well as the amount of income taxes paid by individual jurisdiction. In addition, the amendments require disclosures of disaggregated pretax income and income tax expense and remove the requirement to disclose certain items that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis but can also be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of the amendments in this update and evaluating their impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure on an annual and interim basis, in the notes to the financial statements, of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in fiscal 2028, and the interim disclosure requirements will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis but can also be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of the amendments in this update and evaluating their impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3—REVENUE RECOGNITION

Disaggregation of Revenues

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company announced that it is realigning its commercial wholesale organization into two product-centered business divisions to enhance service to its customers and suppliers with commercial teams providing a more customized product and service-centered experience. These two divisions are Conventional Grocery Products and Natural, Organic, Specialty & Fresh Products. Each commercial division will have focused sales teams aligned to the unique product and service needs of its retail customers. The Company updated its presentation of disaggregated revenue to align with how management evaluates its top-line commercial and financial performance. Prior period disaggregation of revenue amounts have been recast to conform with the Company’s current period presentation. The Company continues to effect the changes necessary to complete the divisional realignment.

The Company disaggregates revenue into the following three categories based on product and service offerings:

•Natural, which primarily reflects the wholesale distribution of natural, organic and specialty grocery and non-food products and services and includes the Company’s portfolio of natural owned brands and natural and organic snack food manufacturing business;
•Conventional, which primarily reflects the wholesale distribution of conventional grocery and non-food products and services and includes the Company’s portfolio of conventional owned brands; and
•Retail, which reflects the Company’s grocery and liquor stores operating under the Cub® Foods and Shoppers® banners that sell products directly to consumers.

11


The following tables detail the Company’s Net sales for the periods presented by the aforementioned categories 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.

There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result.

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.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

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, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) swap rates and credit default swap rates. As of February 1, 2025, a 100-basis point increase in forward SOFR interest rates would increase the fair value of the interest rate swaps by approximately $12 million; a 100-basis point decrease in forward SOFR interest rates would decrease the fair value of the interest rate swaps by approximately $13 million. Refer to Note 7—Derivatives for further information on interest rate swap contracts.

Fair Value Estimates

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.

NOTE 7—DERIVATIVES

Management of Interest Rate Risk

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 February 1, 2025. 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.

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 (loss) income (outside of earnings) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss 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:

(3) Face value before debt issuance costs of $5 million and $5 million, respectively.
Term Loan Facility

The term loan agreement dated as of October 22, 2018 (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”) provides for a $500 million senior secured first lien term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”), which is scheduled to mature on May 1, 2031, with a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the maturity of the Senior Notes (defined below), in the event that at least $100 million in principal amount outstanding of such Senior Notes remains outstanding on such date.

The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by most of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The Term Loan Facility is secured by (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all assets other than the ABL Assets (defined below) and (ii) a second-priority lien on substantially all of the ABL Assets, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations, including an exception for owned real property (other than distribution centers) with net book values of less than or equal to $10 million. As of February 1, 2025 and August 3, 2024, there was $660 million and $686 million, respectively, of owned real property pledged as collateral that was included in Property and equipment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of February 1, 2025, 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 3.75% or (ii) a SOFR rate plus a margin of 4.75%, provided that the SOFR rate shall never be less than 0.0%.

ABL Credit Facility

The revolving credit agreement dated as of June 3, 2022 (as amended, the “ABL Loan Agreement”) provides for a secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) with an aggregate principal amount available of up to $2,730 million, including Revolver Loans (as defined in the ABL Loan Agreement) of up to $2,600 million and a First In, Last Out (“FILO”) tranche of incremental ABL loans of $130 million (the “ABL FILO Loan”). The ABL Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on June 3, 2027.

17


Revolver Loans and ABL FILO Loans under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at rates that, at the Company’s option, can be either at a base rate or Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins 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:
Range of Facility Rates and Fees (per annum) February 1, 2025

(1) The Company utilizes SOFR-based loans and UNFI Canada utilizes bankers’ acceptance rate-based loans.

The ABL Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Guarantors, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The ABL Credit Facility is secured by (i) a first-priority lien on certain accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets (collectively, the “ABL Assets”) and (ii) a second-priority lien on all other 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 consisting of specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable, credit card receivables, inventory, pharmacy receivables and pharmacy prescription files, after adjusting for customary reserves, but at no time shall exceed the aggregate commitments plus the outstanding ABL FILO Loans under the ABL Credit Facility (currently $2,730 million).

As of February 1, 2025, the borrowing base was $2,545 million, reflecting the advance rates described above and $108 million of reserves, which is below the $2,730 million limit of availability. This resulted in total availability of $2,545 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:
(in millions) February 1, 2025
Total availability for ABL loans and letters of credit $ 2,545 
ABL loans outstanding 1,100 
Letters of credit outstanding 177 
Unused credit $ 1,268 

Senior Notes

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 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.

Contributions

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 2025. 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 2025. Contributions for the second quarters and year-to-date fiscal 2025 and 2024 were de minimis.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

The Company contributed $12 million and $13 million in the second quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $25 million and $26 million in fiscal 2025 and 2024 year-to-date, respectively, to multiemployer pension plans, which contributions are included within Operating expenses.

NOTE 11—INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was a benefit rate of 60.0% on pre-tax loss compared to a benefit rate of 26.3% on pre-tax loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The change from the second quarter of fiscal 2024 is primarily driven by a reduction in pre-tax loss combined with discrete tax benefits resulting from share award vestings in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The primary drivers for the variation between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate were state net operating loss valuation allowances and discrete tax benefits resulting from share award vestings for the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 year-to-date was a benefit rate of 24.1% on pre-tax loss compared to a benefit rate of 20.9% on pre-tax loss for fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The change from fiscal 2024 year-to-date is primarily driven by a reduction in pre-tax loss for fiscal 2025 year-to-date and a decrease in discrete tax expenses resulting from share award vestings through the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The primary drivers for the variation between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate were state net operating loss valuation allowances and discrete tax benefits resulting from share award vestings for fiscal 2025 year-to-date.

NOTE 13—BUSINESS SEGMENTS

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.

NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities

The Company has outstanding guarantees related to certain leases, fixture financing loans and other debt obligations of various retailers as of February 1, 2025. These guarantees were generally made to support the business growth of wholesale customers. The guarantees are generally for the entire terms of the leases, fixture financing loans or other debt obligations with remaining terms that range from less than one year to eleven years, with a weighted average remaining term of approximately five years. For each guarantee issued, if the wholesale customer or other third-party defaults on a payment, the Company would be required to make payments under its guarantee. Generally, the guarantees are secured by indemnification agreements or personal guarantees. The Company reviews performance risk related to its guarantee obligations based on internal measures of credit performance. As of February 1, 2025, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company would be required to make in the event of default of all guarantees was $10 million ($9 million on a discounted basis). Based on the indemnification agreements, personal guarantees and results of the reviews of performance risk, as of February 1, 2025, the Company has recorded a de minimis total estimated loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters in the ordinary course of business, which indemnities may be secured by operation of law or otherwise. These agreements primarily relate to the Company’s commercial contracts, service agreements, contracts entered into for the purchase and sale of stock or assets, operating leases and other real estate contracts, financial agreements, agreements to provide services to the Company and agreements to indemnify officers, directors and employees in the performance of their work. While the Company’s aggregate indemnification obligations could result in a material liability, the Company is not aware of any matters that are expected to result in a material liability. The Company has recorded the de minimis fair value of these guarantees and contingent obligations, when applicable, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other Contractual Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into supply contracts to purchase products for resale and service contracts for fixed asset and information technology systems. These contracts typically include either volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations. As of February 1, 2025, the Company had approximately $419 million of non-cancelable future purchase obligations, most of which will be paid and utilized in the ordinary course within one year.

As of February 1, 2025, commitments for future undiscounted minimum lease payments on leases signed but not yet commenced were not material. A lease agreement for a distribution center in Sarasota, Florida commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 resulting in the recognition of a $118 million right-of-use asset and operating lease liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is one of dozens of companies that have been named in various lawsuits alleging that drug manufacturers, retailers and distributors contributed to the national opioid epidemic. Currently, UNFI, primarily through its subsidiary, Advantage Logistics, is named in approximately 40 suits pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio where thousands of cases have been consolidated as Multi-District Litigation (“MDL”). In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 10, 2013, between New Albertson’s Inc. (“New Albertson’s”) and the Company (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), the Company believes that New Albertson’s has an obligation to defend and indemnify UNFI in a majority of the cases. New Albertson’s originally agreed to do so under a reservation of rights, however, New Albertson’s is disputing its obligation to do so. In one of the MDL cases, MDL No. 2804 filed by The Blackfeet Tribe of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, all defendants were ordered to Answer the Complaint, which UNFI did on July 26, 2019. To date, no discovery has been conducted against UNFI in any of the actions. On October 7, 2022, the MDL Court issued an order directing the Company and numerous other non-litigating defendants to submit by November 1, 2022, a list of opioid cases where the Company is named and opioid dispensing and distribution data. The Company produced the data in compliance with the order. On March 8, 2023, the Company received a subpoena from the Consumer Protection Division of the Maryland Attorney General’s Office seeking records related to the distribution and dispensing of opioids. On May 19, 2023, the Company provided an initial production in response to the subpoena and is waiting for further direction from the Maryland Attorney General on additional documents requested. At an April 24, 2024 status conference, the MDL Court directed that the plaintiffs and non-litigating defendants, which includes the Company, determine whether the cases will be dismissed, litigated or mediated. At the status conference on June 10, 2024, the Company indicated it is open to exploring mediation. The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

On January 21, 2021, various health plans filed a complaint in Minnesota state court against the Company, Albertson’s Companies, LLC (“Albertson’s”) and Safeway, Inc. alleging the defendants committed fraud by improperly reporting inflated prices for prescription drugs for members of health plans. The Plaintiffs assert six causes of action against the defendants: common law fraud, fraudulent nondisclosure, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, violation of the Minnesota Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act and violation of the Minnesota Prevention of Consumer Fraud Act. The plaintiffs allege that between 2006 and 2016, Supervalu overcharged the health plans by not providing the health plans, as part of usual and customary prices, the benefit of discounts given to customers purchasing prescription medication who requested that Supervalu match competitor prices. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages. Similar to the above case, for the majority of the relevant period Supervalu and Albertson’s operated as a combined company. In March 2013, Supervalu divested Albertson’s and pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Albertson’s is responsible for any claims regarding its pharmacies. On February 19, 2021, Albertson’s and Safeway removed the case to Minnesota Federal District Court, and on March 22, 2021, plaintiffs filed a motion to remand to state court. On February 26, 2021, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. The hearing on the remand motion and motions to dismiss occurred on May 20, 2021. On September 21, 2021, the Federal District Court remanded the case to Minnesota state court and did not rule on the motion to dismiss, which was refiled in state court. On February 1, 2022, the state court denied the motion to dismiss. On November 27, 2023, the court held a scheduling conference and thereafter entered a scheduling order setting various discovery and expert deadlines. The trial date is set for March 9, 2026. The Company believes these claims are without merit and is vigorously defending this matter.

UNFI is currently subject to a qui tam action alleging violations of the False Claims Act (“FCA”). In United States ex rel. Schutte and Yarberry v. Supervalu, New Albertson’s, Inc., et al, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, the relators allege that defendants overcharged government healthcare programs by not providing the government, as a part of usual and customary prices, the benefit of discounts given to customers purchasing prescription medication who requested that defendants match competitor prices. The complaint was originally filed under seal and amended on November 30, 2015. The government previously investigated the relators’ allegations and declined to intervene. Violations of the FCA are subject to treble damages and penalties of up to a specified dollar amount per false claim. The relators elected to pursue the case on their own and have alleged FCA damages against Supervalu and New Albertson’s in excess of $100 million, not including trebling and statutory penalties. For the majority of the relevant period Supervalu and New Albertson’s operated as a combined company. In March 2013, Supervalu divested New Albertson’s (and related assets) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Based on the claims that are currently pending and the Stock Purchase Agreement, Supervalu’s share of a potential award (at the currently claimed value by the relators) would be approximately $24 million, not including trebling and statutory penalties. Both sides moved for summary judgment. On August 5, 2019, the Court granted one of the relators’ summary judgment motions finding that the defendants’ lower matched prices are the usual and customary prices and that Medicare Part D and Medicaid were entitled to those prices. On July 2, 2020, the Court granted the defendants’ summary judgment motion and denied the relators’ motion, dismissing the case. On July 9, 2020, the relators filed a notice of appeal with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. On August 12, 2021, the Seventh Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision granting summary judgment in defendants’ favor. On June 1, 2023, the Supreme Court reversed and vacated the lower court’s judgment and remanded the case to the Seventh Circuit for further proceedings. On July 27, 2023, the Seventh Circuit vacated the summary judgment order and remanded the case to the District Court. On August 22, 2023, the District Court set the trial date for April 29, 2024. On October 11, 2023, each of the Company and the relators filed a motion for summary judgment. On February 16, 2024, the defendants filed a motion to reconsider the Court’s August 5, 2019 partial grant of summary judgment to the relators and to continue the trial date. On February 27, 2024, the Court granted the defendants’ motion for a trial date continuance and vacated the April 29, 2024 trial date. On April 26, 2024, the Court denied the defendants’ motion to reconsider the partial grant of summary judgment. On May 20, 2024, the District Court heard oral argument on the pending motions for summary judgment and on September 30, 2024, the Court denied both parties’ motions for summary judgment on scienter and granted relators’ motion for summary judgment on materiality. On March 4, 2025, after a three-week jury trial, the jury found in favor of the Company determining that the Company has no liability. Once the Court enters judgment, the relators have twenty-eight days to file post-trial motions or thirty days to appeal.

The Company, J. Alexander Miller Douglas, John Howard and Chris Testa are named in a putative securities class action that was originally filed on March 29, 2023. In Dan Sills, et al. v. United Natural Foods, Inc., et al., pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the plaintiffs allege that defendants violated federal securities laws by making materially false and/or misleading statements and failing to disclose material facts about UNFI’s business, operations and prospects. The defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss on December 21, 2023, and on September 13, 2024, the court issued an opinion granting in part and denying in part the motion. On October 28, 2024, the Company answered the complaint denying the allegations. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.

From time to time, the Company receives notice of claims or potential claims or becomes involved in litigation, alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration, or other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business, including investigations and claims regarding employment law, including wage and hour (including class actions); pension plans; labor union disputes, including unfair labor practices, such as claims for back-pay in the context of labor contract negotiations and other matters; supplier, customer and service provider contract terms and claims, including matters related to supplier or customer insolvency or general inability to pay obligations as they become due; product liability claims, including those where the supplier may be insolvent and customers or consumers are seeking recovery against the Company; real estate and environmental matters, including claims in connection with its ownership and lease of a substantial amount of real property, both retail and warehouse properties; and antitrust. Other than as described above, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which its property is subject.

Predicting the outcomes of claims and litigation and estimating related costs and exposures involves substantial uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes, costs and exposures to vary materially from current expectations. Management regularly monitors the Company’s exposure to the loss contingencies associated with these matters and may from time to time change its predictions with respect to outcomes and estimates with respect to related costs and exposures. Management has made provisions where it believes the loss contingency is probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of February 1, 2025, no material accrued obligations, individually or in the aggregate, have been recorded for these legal proceedings.

25


Although management believes it has made appropriate assessments of potential and contingent loss in each of these cases based on current facts and circumstances, and application of prevailing legal principles, there can be no assurance that material differences in actual outcomes from management’s current assessments, costs and exposures relative to current predictions and estimates, or material changes in such predictions or estimates will not occur. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. In some cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” “should,” “will” and “would,” or similar words. Statements that contain these words and other statements that are forward-looking in nature should be read carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or of financial positions or state other “forward-looking” information.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent uncertainty and may ultimately prove to be incorrect. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or actual operating results. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to:

•our dependence on principal customers;
•the relatively low margins of our business, which are sensitive to inflationary and deflationary pressures and intense competition, including as a result of the continuing consolidation of retailers and the growth of consumer choices for grocery and consumable purchases;
•our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives;
•changes in relationships with our suppliers;
•our ability to operate, and rely on third parties to operate, reliable and secure technology systems;
•labor and other workforce shortages and challenges;
•the addition or loss of significant customers or material changes to our relationships with these customers;
•our ability to realize anticipated benefits of strategic transactions;
•our ability to continue to grow sales, including of our higher margin natural and organic foods and non-food products;
•our ability to maintain sufficient volume in our wholesale distribution and services businesses to support our operating infrastructure;
•our ability to access additional capital;
•increases in healthcare, pension and other costs under our single employer benefit plan and multiemployer benefit plans;
•the potential for additional asset impairment charges;
•our sensitivity to general economic conditions including inflation, changes in disposable income levels and consumer purchasing habits;
•our ability to timely and successfully deploy our warehouse management system throughout our distribution centers and our transportation management system across the Company and to achieve efficiencies and cost savings from these efforts;
•the potential for disruptions in our supply chain or our distribution capabilities from circumstances beyond our control, including due to lack of long-term contracts, severe weather, labor shortages or work stoppages or otherwise;
•moderated supplier promotional activity, including decreased forward buying opportunities;
•union-organizing activities that could cause labor relations difficulties and increased costs;
•our ability to maintain food quality and safety; and
•volatility in fuel costs.

You should carefully review the risks described under “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 3, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), as well as any other cautionary language in this Quarterly Report, as the occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect, which may be material, on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the information contained under the caption “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and the information in the Annual Report.

Business Overview

UNFI is a leading distributor of grocery and non-food products, and support services provider to retailers in the United States and Canada. We believe we are uniquely positioned to provide the broadest array of products and services to customers throughout North America. Our diversified customer base includes over 30,000 customer locations ranging from some of the largest grocers in the country to smaller independents as well. We offer approximately 250,000 products consisting of national, regional and private label brands grouped into the following main product categories: grocery and general merchandise; perishables; frozen foods; wellness and personal care items; and bulk and foodservice products. We believe we are North America’s premier grocery wholesaler with 53 distribution centers and warehouses representing approximately 31 million square feet of warehouse space. We are a coast-to-coast distributor with customers in all 50 states as well as all ten provinces in Canada, making us a desirable partner for retailers and consumer product manufacturers. We believe our total product assortment and service offerings are unmatched by our wholesale competitors. We plan to continue to pursue new business opportunities with independent retailers that operate diverse formats, regional and national chains, as well as international customers with wide-ranging needs. Our business is classified into two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail; and also includes a manufacturing division and a branded product line division.

We have introduced and are executing against a new strategy and three-year financial objectives that seek to add value to our customers and suppliers through our portfolio of products, services, programs and insights while improving our efficiency and cash flow. To accomplish the latter, we are focused on controllable variables in four key areas: intensifying and expanding our network optimization; reducing annual capital spending; optimizing our cost structure; and reducing our net working capital position.

The Company is in the process of realigning its commercial wholesale organization into two product-centered divisions that are expected to enhance service to its customers and suppliers. These two divisions are Conventional Grocery Products and Natural, Organic, Specialty & Fresh Products. Each division will have focused sales teams aligned to the unique product and service needs of its customers and will be supported by dedicated functional experts in merchandising, operations, procurement and supplier services. In addition, capability centers of excellence in areas such as supply chain, professional and digital services, and private brands will work across the divisions to help create customized programs to help customers and suppliers accelerate their growth strategies.

We expect to continue to use available capital to re-invest in our business and are committed to improving our free cash flow and financial leverage while reducing outstanding debt.

We believe we can optimize our performance and profitability through our improvement efforts, which we expect will improve our cost structure, increase sales of products and services, and position us to provide tailored, data-driven solutions to help our customers run their businesses more efficiently and contribute to customer acquisitions.

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business

Our results are impacted by macroeconomic and demographic trends, changes in the food distribution market structure and changes in consumer behavior. We believe food-at-home expenditures as a percentage of total food expenditures are subject to these trends, including changes in consumer behaviors in response to social and economic trends, such as levels of disposable income and the health of the economy in which our customers and our stores operate.

The U.S. economy has experienced economic volatility in recent years, which has had, and we expect may continue to have, an impact on consumer confidence and behavior. Consumer spending may continue to be impacted by levels of discretionary income and consumers trading down to a less expensive mix of products for grocery items or buying fewer items. In addition, inflation continues to affect our business, and fluctuating commodity and labor input costs may continue to impact the prices of products we procure from manufacturers. We believe our product mix, which ranges from high-quality natural and organic products to national and local conventional brands, including cost conscious private label brands, positions us to serve a broad cross section of North American retailers and end customers, and may lessen the impact of any further shifts in consumer and industry trends in grocery product mix.
28



We are also impacted by changes in food distribution trends affecting our Wholesale customers, such as direct store deliveries and other methods of distribution. Our Wholesale customers manage their businesses independently and operate in a competitive environment.

Wholesale Distribution Network Optimization

We are working to optimize our distribution center network to better and more efficiently service customers and suppliers. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we consolidated the volume of two distribution centers into other facilities in the Central region. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we announced the closure of a third distribution center in the Central region, which was completed subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. We expect to achieve cost savings as a result of these efforts through streamlining operations and delivering efficiencies, including incurring lower operating and shrink expenses, while also improving product assortment and overall customer experience.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we began operating a new distribution center in Manchester, Pennsylvania, which has approximately 1.3 million square feet, optimizes volume from other nearby distribution centers in the East region and primarily distributes natural products. This distribution center is expected to be automated later in fiscal 2025. Also in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we began the development of a new distribution center in Sarasota, Florida, which has approximately 1.0 million square feet. We recognized a $118 million right-of-use asset and operating lease liability for this distribution center in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

We plan to continue to evaluate our distribution center network to further optimize performance and expect to incur incremental expenses related to any future network realignment, expansion or improvements, including network optimization and automation initiatives. We are working to both minimize future costs and obtain new business to further improve the efficiency of our distribution network.

Retail Operations

We currently operate 75 grocery stores, including 53 Cub Foods stores and 22 Shoppers stores. In addition, we supply another 26 Cub Foods stores operated by our Wholesale customers through franchise and minority equity ownership arrangements. We operate 80 pharmacies primarily within the stores we operate and the stores of our franchisees. In addition, we operate 23 “Cub Wine and Spirit” and “Cub Liquor” stores.

We plan to continue to invest in our Retail segment in areas such as customer-facing merchandising initiatives, physical facilities, technology and operational tools. Cub Foods and Shoppers anticipate continued investment in improving the customer and associate experience through express remodels focused on customer facing elements.

Impact of Product Cost Changes

We experienced a mix of inflation and deflation across product categories during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. In the aggregate across our businesses, including the mix of products, management estimates our businesses experienced product cost inflation of approximately two percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Cost inflation and deflation estimates are based on individual like items sold during the periods being compared. Our pricing to our customers is determined at the time of sale, primarily based on the then prevailing vendor listed base cost, and includes discounts we offer to our customers. Changes in merchandising, customer buying habits and competitive pressures create inherent difficulties in measuring the impact of inflation and deflation on Net sales and Gross profit.

Generally, in an inflationary environment as a wholesaler, rising vendor costs result in higher Net sales driven by higher vendor prices when other variables such as quantities sold, mix of units sold and vendor promotions are constant. Under the last-in, first out (“LIFO”) method of inventory accounting, product cost increases are recognized within Cost of sales based on expected year-end inventory quantities and costs, which generally has the effect of decreasing Gross profit and the carrying value of inventory during periods of inflation. We continued to experience fewer and less significant vendor product cost increases in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, which negatively impacted our gross profit rate when comparing to the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Composition of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Business Performance Assessment

Net Sales

Our Net sales consist primarily of product sales of natural, organic, specialty, produce, and conventional grocery and non-food products, adjusted for customer volume discounts, vendor incentives when applicable, returns and allowances, and professional services revenue. Net sales also include amounts charged by us to customers for shipping and handling and fuel surcharges.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

The principal components of our Cost of sales include the amounts paid to suppliers for product sold, plus transportation costs necessary to bring the product to, or move product between, our distribution centers and retail stores, partially offset by consideration received from suppliers in connection with the purchase, transportation or promotion of the suppliers’ products.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include distribution expenses of warehousing, delivery, purchasing, receiving, selecting, and outbound transportation expenses, and selling and administrative expenses. These expenses include salaries and wages, employee benefits, occupancy, insurance, depreciation and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense.

Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Related Expenses

Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses reflect expenses resulting from restructuring activities, including severance costs, facility closure costs, share-based compensation acceleration charges and acquisition and integration related expenses. Integration related expenses include certain professional consulting expenses and incremental expenses related to combining facilities required to optimize our distribution network as a result of acquisitions.

Loss on Sale of Assets and Other Asset Charges

Loss on sale of assets and other asset charges primarily includes losses (gains) on sales of assets, losses on sales of financial assets, and asset impairments.

Net Periodic Benefit Income, Excluding Service Cost

Net periodic benefit income, excluding service cost reflects the recognition of expected returns on benefit plan assets and interest costs on plan liabilities.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net includes primarily interest expense on long-term debt, net of capitalized interest, loss on debt extinguishment, interest expense on finance lease obligations, amortization of financing costs and discounts, and interest income.

Adjusted EBITDA

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In addition to the GAAP results, we consider certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of our business and understand underlying operating performance and core business trends, which we use to facilitate operating performance comparisons of our business on a consistent basis over time. Adjusted EBITDA is provided as a supplement to our results of operations and related analysis, and should not be considered superior to, a substitute for or an alternative to, any financial measure of performance prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items because they are non-cash items or items that do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance.

30


We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it provides additional information regarding factors and trends affecting our business, which are used in the business planning process to understand expected operating performance, to evaluate results against those expectations, and because of its importance as a measure of underlying operating performance, as the primary compensation performance measure under certain compensation programs and plans. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is reflective of factors that affect our underlying operating performance and facilitate operating performance comparisons of our business on a consistent basis over time. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. Certain adjustments to our GAAP financial measures reflected below exclude items that may be considered recurring in nature and may be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. These measurements and items may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should be reviewed in conjunction with our results reported in accordance with GAAP in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

There are significant limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure including, but not limited to, it not reflecting the cost of cash expenditures for capital assets or certain other contractual commitments, finance lease obligation and debt service expenses, income taxes and any impacts from changes in working capital.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as a consolidated measure which we reconcile by adding Net (loss) income including noncontrolling interests, less Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, plus Non-operating income and expenses, including Net periodic benefit income, excluding service cost, Interest expense, net and Other (income) expense, net, plus (Benefit) provision for income taxes and Depreciation and amortization all calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus adjustments for Share-based compensation, non-cash LIFO charge or benefit, Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses, Goodwill impairment charges, Loss (gain) on sale of assets and other asset charges, certain legal charges and gains, and certain other non-cash charges or other items, as determined by management.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we announced that we are realigning our commercial wholesale organization as discussed in Executive Overview - Business Overview section above. We updated our presentation of disaggregated revenue to align with how management evaluates our top-line commercial and financial performance. Prior period disaggregation of revenue amounts have been recast to conform with our current period presentation. The following table sets forth Net sales by category for the periods indicated.

Second Quarter

Our Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased approximately 4.9% from the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in Net sales was primarily driven by an increase in Natural unit volumes, including new business with existing and new customers, as well as inflation.

32


Retail Net sales decreased primarily due to a 0.4% decrease in identical store sales from lower volume, and store closures.

Year-to-Date

Our Net sales for fiscal 2025 year-to-date increased approximately 4.6% from fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The increase in Net sales was primarily driven by an increase in Natural unit volumes, including new business with existing and new customers, as well as inflation.

Retail Net sales decreased primarily due to a 0.9% decrease in identical store sales from lower volume, and store closures.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Our Gross profit increased $37 million, or 3.6%, to $1,072 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, from $1,035 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Our Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales decreased to 13.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 13.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The LIFO charge was $3 million and $6 million in the second quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. Excluding the non-cash LIFO charge, gross profit rate was 13.2% of Net sales and 13.4% of Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in gross profit rate, excluding the LIFO charge, was primarily driven by lower product margin rates and customer and product mix, which were partially offset through supplier programs, the benefit of lower shrink expense and a higher retail gross margin rate.

Our Gross profit increased $45 million, or 2.2%, to $2,110 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date, from $2,065 million for fiscal 2024 year-to-date. Our Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales decreased to 13.2% for fiscal 2025 year-to-date compared to 13.5% for fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The LIFO charge was $10 million and $13 million for fiscal 2025 and 2024 year-to-date, respectively. Excluding the non-cash LIFO charge, gross profit rate was 13.2% of Net sales and 13.6% of Net sales for fiscal 2025 and 2024 year-to-date, respectively. The decrease in gross profit rate, excluding the LIFO charge, was primarily driven by lower product margin rates and customer and product mix, which were partially offset through supplier programs and the benefit of lower shrink expense.

Operating expenses increased $21 million, or 2.1%, to $1,031 million, or 12.6% of Net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $1,010 million, or 13.0% of Net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in Operating expenses as a percentage of Net sales was primarily driven by the leveraging impact of higher sales and the benefits from cost saving initiatives.

Operating expenses increased $13 million, or 0.6%, to $2,046 million, or 12.8% of Net sales, for fiscal 2025 year-to-date compared to $2,033 million, or 13.3% of Net sales, for fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The decrease in Operating expenses as a percentage of Net sales was primarily driven by benefits from cost saving initiatives and the leveraging impact of higher sales.

Restructuring, Acquisition and Integration Related Expenses

Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses increased $5 million to $9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher costs associated with certain employee severance and other employee separation costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses increased $13 million to $21 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date, compared to $8 million for fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The increase was primarily driven by higher costs associated with certain employee severance and other employee separation costs in fiscal 2025 year-to-date.

Loss on Sale of Assets and Other Asset Charges

Loss on sale of assets and other asset charges was $5 million for the second quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024. The second quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024 primarily included losses on the sales of receivables under the accounts receivable monetization program.

Loss on sale of assets and other asset charges decreased $13 million to $11 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date, from $24 million for fiscal 2024 year-to-date. Fiscal 2024 year-to-date primarily included a $21 million asset impairment charge related to one of our corporate-owned office locations. Fiscal 2025 and 2024 year-to-date included losses on the sales of receivables under the accounts receivable monetization program.

Operating Income

Reflecting the factors described above, Operating income increased $11 million to $27 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to Operating income of $16 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in Operating income was primarily driven by an increase in Gross profit, partially offset by an increase in Operating expenses and Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, each as described above.

Reflecting the factors described above, Operating income increased $32 million to $32 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date, compared to Operating income of $0 million for fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The increase in Operating income was primarily driven by an increase in Gross profit and a decrease in Loss on sale of asset and other asset charges, partially offset by an increase in Operating expenses and Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses in fiscal 2025 year-to-date, each as described above.

The decrease in interest expense, net, in fiscal 2025 year-to-date compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date was primarily driven by lower outstanding debt balances.

Benefit for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was a benefit rate of 60.0% on pre-tax loss compared to a benefit rate of 26.3% on pre-tax loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The change from the second quarter of fiscal 2024 is primarily driven by a reduction in pre-tax loss combined with discrete tax benefits resulting from share award vestings in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 year-to-date was a benefit rate of 24.1% on pre-tax loss compared to a benefit rate of 20.9% on pre-tax loss for fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The change from fiscal 2024 year-to-date is primarily driven by a reduction in pre-tax loss for fiscal 2025 year-to-date and a decrease in discrete tax expenses resulting from share award vestings through the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Net Loss Attributable to United Natural Foods, Inc.

Reflecting the factors described in more detail above, Net loss attributable to United Natural Foods, Inc. was $3 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to Net loss attributable to United Natural Foods, Inc. of $15 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Reflecting the factors described in more detail above, Net loss attributable to United Natural Foods, Inc. was $24 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2025 year-to-date, compared to Net loss attributable to United Natural Foods, Inc. of $54 million, or $0.92 per diluted common share, for fiscal 2024 year-to-date.

Net Sales

Second Quarter

Wholesale’s Net sales increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily due to a 3% increase in unit volumes, including new business with existing and new customers, as well as inflation, as discussed in Results of Operations - Net Sales section above.

Retail’s Net sales decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily due to a 0.4% decrease in identical store sales from lower volume, and store closures.

Lower eliminations of Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were primarily due to a decrease in Wholesale to Retail sales, which are eliminated upon consolidation.

Year-to-Date

Wholesale’s Net sales increased for fiscal 2025 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date primarily due to an increase in unit volumes, including new business with existing and new customers, as well as inflation, as discussed in Results of Operations - Net Sales section above.

Retail’s Net sales decreased for fiscal 2025 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date primarily due to a 0.9% decrease in identical store sales from lower volume, and store closures.

Lower eliminations of Net sales for fiscal 2025 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date were primarily due to a decrease in Wholesale to Retail sales, which are eliminated upon consolidation.

35


Adjusted EBITDA

Second Quarter

Wholesale’s Adjusted EBITDA increased $18 million, or 15.3%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was driven by gross profit growth excluding the LIFO charge, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Wholesale’s Gross profit excluding the LIFO charge for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $36 million and gross profit rate decreased approximately 11 basis points driven primarily by lower product margin rates and customer and product mix, which were partially offset through supplier programs and the benefit of lower shrink expense. Wholesale’s Operating expense increased $18 million, which excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments as outlined in Note 13—Business Segments. Wholesale’s operating expense rate decreased 28 basis points primarily due to benefits from cost saving initiatives and the leveraging impact of higher sales.

Retail’s Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million, or 25.0%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by a decline in gross profit primarily due to lower sales volume, which was partially offset by the benefit of lower shrink expense which favorably impacted margin rate. Retail’s Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 13—Business Segments.

Year-to-Date

Wholesale’s Adjusted EBITDA increased $32 million, or 13.6%, for fiscal 2025 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The increase was driven by gross profit growth excluding the LIFO charge, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Wholesale’s Gross profit excluding the LIFO charge for fiscal 2025 year-to-date increased $46 million and gross profit rate increased approximately 24 basis points driven primarily by supplier programs and the benefit of lower shrink expense, which were partially offset by lower product margin rates and customer and product mix. Wholesale’s Operating expense increased $14 million, which excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and other adjustments as outlined in Note 13—Business Segments. Wholesale’s operating expense rate decreased 38 basis points primarily due to benefits from cost saving initiatives and the leveraging impact of higher sales.

Retail’s Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1 million, or 14.3%, for fiscal 2025 year-to-date as compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date. The decrease was driven primarily by a decline in gross profit primarily due to lower sales volume, which was largely offset by lower operating expenses from operating efficiencies. Retail’s Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, LIFO charge and other adjustments as outlined in Note 13—Business Segments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Highlights

•Total liquidity as of February 1, 2025 was $1,312 million and consisted of the following:
◦$1,268 million of unused credit under our asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”), which increased $33 million from $1,235 million as of August 3, 2024, primarily due to an increase in the borrowing base and a reduction of net borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility; and
◦$44 million of cash and cash equivalents, which increased $4 million from $40 million as of August 3, 2024.
•Total debt decreased $14 million to $2,071 million as of February 1, 2025 from $2,085 million as of August 3, 2024, primarily related to a reduction in net borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility due to net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by payments for capital expenditures.
•Working capital increased $50 million to $1,087 million as of February 1, 2025 from $1,037 million as of August 3, 2024, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventory levels, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable related to inventories.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We expect to continue to replenish operating assets and pay down debt obligations with internally generated funds. A significant reduction in operating earnings or the incurrence of operating losses could have a negative impact on our operating cash flow, which may limit our ability to pay down our outstanding indebtedness as planned. Our credit facilities are secured by a substantial portion of our total assets. We expect to be able to fund debt maturities and finance lease liabilities through fiscal 2025 with internally generated funds and borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility.

36


Our primary sources of liquidity are from internally generated funds and from borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. We believe our short-term and long-term financing abilities are adequate as a supplement to internally generated cash flows to satisfy debt obligations and fund capital expenditures as opportunities arise. Our continued access to short-term and long-term financing through credit markets depends on numerous factors, including the condition of the credit markets and our results of operations, cash flows, financial position and credit ratings.

Primary uses of cash include debt service, capital expenditures, working capital maintenance depending on seasonality and other fluctuations, investments in cloud technologies and income tax payments. We typically finance working capital needs with cash provided from operating activities and short-term borrowings. Inventories are managed primarily through demand forecasting and replenishing depleted inventories.

We currently do not pay a dividend on our common stock. In addition, we are limited in the aggregate amount of dividends that we may pay under the terms of our senior secured first lien term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”), ABL Credit Facility and our $500 million of unsecured 6.750% senior notes due October 15, 2028 (the “Senior Notes”). Subject to certain limitations contained in our debt agreements and as market conditions warrant, we may from time to time refinance indebtedness that we have incurred, including through the incurrence or repayment of loans under existing or new credit facilities or the issuance or repayment of debt securities. Proceeds from the sale of any properties mortgaged and encumbered under our Term Loan Facility are required to be used to make additional Term Loan Facility payments or to be reinvested in the business.

Long-Term Debt

During fiscal 2025 year-to-date, we reduced borrowings by a net $13 million under the ABL Credit Facility. Refer to Note 8—Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion of the provisions of our credit facilities and certain long-term debt agreements and additional information.

Our term loan agreement dated as of October 22, 2018 (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”) and our Senior Notes do not include any financial maintenance covenants. Our revolving credit agreement dated as of June 3, 2022 (as amended, the “ABL Loan Agreement”) subjects us to a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 calculated at the end of each of our fiscal quarters on a rolling four quarter basis, if the adjusted aggregate availability is ever less than the greater of (i) $220 million, or $210 million if no ABL FILO Loans are then outstanding at such time, and (ii) 10% of the aggregate borrowing base. We have not been subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the ABL Loan Agreement, including through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Term Loan Agreement, Senior Notes and ABL Loan Agreement contain certain operational and informational covenants customary for debt securities of these types that limit our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur debt, declare or pay dividends or make other distributions to our stockholders, transfer or sell assets, create liens on our assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets on a consolidated basis. We were in compliance with all such covenants for all periods presented. If we fail to comply with any of these covenants, we may be in default under the applicable debt agreement, and all amounts due thereunder may become immediately due and payable. The potential amount of prepayment under the Term Loan Facility from Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) in fiscal 2025 that may be required in fiscal 2026 is not reasonably estimable as of February 1, 2025.

Derivatives and Hedging Activity

We enter into interest rate swap contracts from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in market interest rates as part of our strategy to manage our 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.

As of February 1, 2025, we had an aggregate of $750 million of floating rate notional debt subject to active interest rate swap contracts, which effectively fix the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) component of our floating interest payments through pay fixed and receive floating interest rate swap agreements. These fixed rates range from 2.475% to 4.130%, with maturities between October 2025 and June 2028. The fair values of these interest rate derivatives represent a total net asset of $5 million as of February 1, 2025, and are subject to volatility based on changes in market interest rates.

From time to time, we enter into fixed price fuel supply agreements and foreign currency hedges. As of February 1, 2025, we had fixed price fuel contracts and foreign currency forward agreements outstanding. Gains and losses and the outstanding assets and liabilities from these arrangements are insignificant.

Payments for Capital Expenditures and Cloud Technology Implementation Expenditures

Our capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 year-to-date were $103 million compared to $141 million for fiscal 2024 year-to-date, a decrease of $38 million. Our capital spending for fiscal 2025 and 2024 year-to-date principally included supply chain and information technology expenditures, including investments in growth initiatives and maintenance expenditures. Cloud technology implementation expenditures, which are included in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $5 million for fiscal 2025 year-to-date compared to $17 million for fiscal 2024 year-to-date.

Fiscal 2025 capital and cloud implementation spending is expected to be approximately $300 million and include projects that automate, optimize and expand our distribution network, as well as our technology platform investments. The components of capital and cloud implementation expenditures for fiscal 2025 will be primarily dependent on the nature of certain contracts to be executed. We expect to finance fiscal 2025 capital and cloud implementation expenditures requirements with cash generated from operations and borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility. Future investments may be financed through long-term debt or borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility and cash from operations.

Cash Flow Information

The following summarizes our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
26-Week Period Ended
(in millions) February 1, 2025 January 27, 2024 Change

Cash and cash equivalents, at end of period $ 44  $ 34  $ 10 

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2025 year-to-date compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date was primarily due to lower levels of cash utilized in net working capital.

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities in fiscal 2025 year-to-date compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date was primarily due to lower payments for capital expenditures in fiscal 2025 year-to-date.

The increase in net cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2025 year-to-date compared to fiscal 2024 year-to-date was primarily due to an increase in net repayments of borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility resulting from the increase in net cash provided by operating activities and the decrease in net cash used in investing activities, as described above.

Other Obligations and Commitments

Our principal contractual obligations and commitments consist of obligations under our long-term debt, interest on long-term debt, operating and finance leases, purchase obligations, self-insurance liabilities and multiemployer plan withdrawal liabilities.

Except as otherwise disclosed in Note 14—Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Note 8—Long-Term Debt, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since the end of fiscal 2024. Refer to Item 7 of the Annual Report for additional information regarding our contractual obligations.

38


Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Obligations

In fiscal 2025, 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”). An insignificant amount of contributions are expected to be made to other defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2025. We fund our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan based on the minimum contribution required under ERISA, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and other applicable laws and additional contributions made at our discretion. We may accelerate contributions or undertake contributions in excess of the minimum requirements from time to time subject to the availability of cash in excess of operating and financing needs or other factors as may be applicable. We assess the relative attractiveness of the use of cash to accelerate contributions considering such factors as expected return on assets, discount rates, cost of debt, reducing or eliminating required Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation variable rate premiums or in order to achieve exemption from participant notices of underfunding.

Off-Balance Sheet Multiemployer Pension Arrangements

We contribute to various multiemployer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements, primarily defined benefit pension plans. These multiemployer plans generally provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The benefits are paid from assets held in trust for that purpose. Plan trustees typically are responsible for determining the level of benefits to be provided to participants as well as the investment of the assets and plan administration. Trustees are appointed in equal number by employers and unions that are parties to the relevant collective bargaining agreements. Based on the assessment of the most recent information available from the multiemployer plans, we believe that most of the plans to which we contribute are underfunded. We are only one of a number of employers contributing to these plans and the underfunding is not a direct obligation or liability to us.

Our contributions can fluctuate from year to year due to store closures, employer participation within the respective plans and reductions in headcount. Our contributions to these plans could increase in the near term. However, the amount of any increase or decrease in contributions will depend on a variety of factors, including the results of our collective bargaining efforts, investment returns on the assets held in the plans, actions taken by the trustees who manage the plans and requirements under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act and Section 412(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. Furthermore, if we were to significantly reduce contributions, exit certain markets or otherwise cease making contributions to these plans, we could trigger a partial or complete withdrawal that could require us to record a withdrawal liability obligation and make withdrawal liability payments to the fund. Expense is recognized in connection with these plans as contributions are funded, in accordance with GAAP. We made contributions to these plans and recognized expense of $47 million in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2025, we expect to contribute approximately $51 million to multiemployer plans, subject to the outcome of collective bargaining and capital market conditions. We expect required cash payments to fund multiemployer pension plans from which we have withdrawn to be insignificant in any one fiscal year, which would exclude any payments that may be agreed to on a lump sum basis to satisfy existing withdrawal liabilities. Any future withdrawal liability would be recorded when it is probable that a liability exists and can be reasonably estimated, in accordance with GAAP. Any triggered withdrawal obligation could result in a material charge and payment obligations that would be required to be made over an extended period of time.

We also make contributions to multiemployer health and welfare plans in amounts set forth in the related collective bargaining agreements. A small minority of collective bargaining agreements contain reserve requirements that may trigger unanticipated contributions resulting in increased healthcare expenses. If these healthcare provisions cannot be renegotiated in a manner that reduces the prospective healthcare cost as we intend, our Operating expenses could increase in the future.

Refer to Note 13—Benefit Plans in Part II, Item 8 of the Annual Report for additional information regarding the plans in which we participate.

Share Repurchases

In September 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program for up to $200 million of our common stock over a term of four years (the “2022 Repurchase Program”). We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in fiscal 2025 year-to-date. As of February 1, 2025, we had $138 million remaining authorized under the 2022 Repurchase Program.

We will manage the timing of any repurchases of our common stock in response to market conditions and other relevant factors, including any limitations on our ability to make repurchases under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility and Senior Notes. We may implement the 2022 Repurchase Program pursuant to a plan or plans meeting the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to the description of critical accounting estimates included in Item 7 of our Annual Report.

Seasonality
 
Overall product sales are fairly balanced throughout the year, although demand for certain products of a seasonal nature may be influenced by holidays, changes in seasons or other annual events. Our working capital needs are generally greater during the months of and leading up to high sales periods, such as the buildup in inventory leading to the calendar year-end holidays. Our inventory, accounts payable and accounts receivable levels may be impacted by macroeconomic impacts and changes in food-at-home purchasing rates. These effects can result in normal operating fluctuations in working capital balances, which in turn can result in changes to cash flow from operations that are not necessarily indicative of long-term operating trends.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Our exposure to market risk results primarily from fluctuations in interest rates on our borrowings and our interest rate swap agreements, and price increases in diesel fuel. Except as described in Note 7—Derivatives and Note 8—Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated herein, there have been no other material changes to our exposure to market risks from those disclosed in our Annual Report.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)     Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
(b)    Changes in internal controls. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Other than as set forth in Note 14—Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which our property is subject.

40


Any repurchases are intended to be made in accordance with applicable securities laws from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. With respect to open market purchases, we may use a plan or plans meeting the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which allows us to repurchase shares during periods when we otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods. We manage the timing of any repurchases in response to market conditions and other relevant factors, including any limitations on our ability to make repurchases under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility and Senior Notes.

Dividends. We are limited in the aggregate amount of dividends that we may pay under the terms of our Term Loan Facility, ABL Credit Facility and Senior Notes.

Item 5. Other Information

On December 19, 2024, Danielle Benedict, our Chief Human Resources Officer, entered into a 10b5-1 sales plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The plan provides for the potential sale, on the dates and at the prices set forth in the plan, of up to 11,655 shares of common stock.

2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

[time vesting for employees]


This Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) effective as of [ ] __, 20__ (the “Grant Date”), between United Natural Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) and __________________ (the “Participant”), evidences an Award denominated in Restricted Share Units to the Participant under the United Natural Foods, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”). Except in the preceding sentence and where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include the Company and all present and future Subsidiaries. All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

1.Definitions.

(a)    “Participant,” solely for the purpose of this Agreement, means the employee designated above.

(b)    “Restricted Share Unit” means a right to receive a payment in the form of any one Share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.

(c)    “Vesting Period” means the period beginning on [ ] and ending on [ ].

2.    Grant of Restricted Share Units.  In consideration of services to be rendered by the Participant to the Company, the Company hereby grants to the Participant [______] Restricted Share Units, on the terms and conditions and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan. This grant is conditional upon the Participant signing a counterpart of this Agreement and delivering such signed counterpart to the Company within sixty (60) days of this Agreement, including by electronic means if provided by the Company pursuant to Section 18.

3.    Vesting & Effect of Separation from Service.

(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, if the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date, the Restricted Share Units will vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Vesting Date                Restricted Share Units

[Vesting date]        [Number or % of shares that vest on the vesting date]

[Vesting date]        [Number or % of shares that vest on the vesting date]

[Vesting date]        [Number or % of shares that vest on the vesting date]




(b)    Retirement: In the event the Participant has a Separation from Service on account of Retirement and signs and does not revoke a release of claims in the form and manner prescribed by the Company, the Participant shall continue to vest through the Vesting Period in the following number of Restricted Share Units. If the Separation from Service on account of Retirement occurs in the 365-day period beginning on the Grant Date (the “Grant Year”), the Pro-Rated Number of Restricted Share Units will continue to vest through the Vesting Period. The “Pro-Rated Number” shall be the product of (i) the total number of Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement and (ii) the quotient of (A) the number of days beginning with the Grant Date and ending on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service as a result of Retirement and (B) 365, the number of days in the Grant Year. If the Separation from Service on account of Retirement occurs before the end of the Vesting Period but after the Grant Year, all of the then-unvested Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement will continue to vest through the Vesting Period. If the Release Finalization Date falls after any vesting date in Section 3(a), the applicable Restricted Share Units will vest as of the Release Finalization Date; provided, however, that if the period for the Participant to consider and/or revoke a release of claims spans two calendar years, then the settlement/payment of the applicable Shares will in all cases occur in the second calendar year. The rights of the Participant in the event of Retirement with respect to any then-unvested Restricted Share Units shall become non-forfeitable only at such time as the Shares issuable in settlement of such Restricted Share Units would have been issued pursuant to Section 4 hereof had the Participant continued to be employed through the end of the Vesting Period.

(c)    Death and Disability: In the event that the Participant dies or has a Separation from Service on account of Disability at any time after grant, all of the then-unvested Restricted Share Units shall fully vest on the date of the Separation from Service.

(d)    Change in Control: In the event the Participant has a Separation from Service and such Separation from Service is not for Cause, or the Participant’s Separation from Service is for Good Reason, in either case within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control (and before the Restricted Share Units otherwise have become vested under Section 3(a), (b) or (c)), the Participant shall vest in all of the Restricted Share Units granted under Section 2 of this Agreement and the Participant’s rights to such Restricted Share Units shall become non-forfeitable as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. In the event that this Award is not assumed by the Acquiror in connection with a Change in Control, all of the Restricted Share Units shall vest immediately prior to the Change in Control and shall settle immediately following the Change in Control (notwithstanding the longer period of time for settlement provided in Section 4 below). In the event that settlement of the Restricted Share Units at the time described above would result in the imposition of tax on the Participant (if the Participant is eligible for Retirement) pursuant to the operation of Code Section 409A (as defined below), such settlement shall take place on the earliest date upon which settlement may be made without resulting in the imposition of such tax.

(e)    Separation from Service without Cause: If the Participant has a Separation from Service without Cause (as defined in the Plan), then:

(i) any unvested Restricted Share Units that were scheduled to vest within 365 days from the date of separation and were granted more than 365 days preceding the date of separation, shall vest effective as of the Release Finalization Date;

(ii) the Separation Pro-Rated Number of Restricted Share Units that were scheduled to vest within 365 days from the date of separation, and were granted less than 365 days prior to the date of separation, shall vest effective as of the Release Finalization Date; and


2



(iii) any remaining Restricted Share Units not vesting as provided above shall be forfeited effective as of the date of Separation from Service without Cause.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting, payment, and settlement of any Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall be subject to the satisfaction of any conditions required for payout of the Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. In no event shall the accelerated vesting pursuant to this Section 3(e) accelerate the settlement of any Restricted Share Units if such Restricted Share Units are otherwise subject to Section 409A of the Code.

The “Separation Pro-Rated Number” shall be the product of (A) the total number of Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement less than 365 days prior to the date of Separation from Service without Cause and (B) the quotient of (1) the number of days from the Grant Date to the date of Separation from Service without Cause and (2) 365.

(f)    Except as provided in Section 3(b),(c), (d) or (e) above or as otherwise provided in any written agreement by and between the Company and the Participant, if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs for any reason prior to the expiration of the Vesting Period, all then-unvested Restricted Share Units shall be canceled immediately and shall not be payable to the Participant.

4.    Settlement and Payment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Restricted Share Units that have become vested in accordance with the vesting schedule pursuant to Section 3 shall be paid and settled as of the “Settlement Date” which is the date that is as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date determined under Section 3 and no later than March 15th of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the vesting date occurs. However, if the Participant is eligible for Retirement at any point during the Vesting Period or if any portion of the award is otherwise subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Settlement Date shall be the date that is as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date set forth in Section 3, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which such vesting date occurs, unless the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs on account of Retirement and the period for the Participant to consider and/or revoke a release of claims spans two calendar years, in which case the Settlement Date shall in all cases occur in the second calendar year. The Company shall issue to the Participant one Share for each Restricted Share Unit that has become vested. The payment of the Shares shall be made to the Participant (or the Participant’s assignee or beneficiary if permitted by the Plan or the Committee) in accordance with the Company’s grant and award policy and may be made as a book entry confirmation or through the issuance of a certificate evidencing such Shares.

5.    Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be issued upon the vesting of the Restricted Share Units (including, without limitation, voting rights and any rights to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such Shares) unless and until the Shares have been issued to the Participant. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.

6. Withholding. The Company’s obligation to make payment and settlement of vested Restricted Share Units shall be subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding obligations or withholding taxes, including any employer minimum statutory withholding (“Withholding Taxes”), and the Participant shall pay the amount of any such Withholding Taxes to the Company as set forth in this Section 6. The Participant may satisfy his or her obligation to pay the Withholding Taxes by (i) having the Company withhold Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant pursuant to payment and settlement of vested Restricted Share Units; or (ii) delivering, actually or by attestation, to the Company Shares already owned by the Participant; provided that the amount of such Shares withheld or Shares delivered (with the value of such Shares being based on the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the vesting date determined pursuant to Section 3) shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum amount of Withholding Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from compensation or other amounts owing to the Participant an amount not to exceed the Withholding Taxes.

7.    Covenants. As a condition to the receipt of the Award, the Participant hereby agrees to be subject to the restrictive covenants as set forth in Appendix A (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement” or “RCA”). The Award shall be forfeited in the event of noncompliance with the Restrictive Covenant Agreement. The Participant expressly agrees that all payments and benefits due the Participant under this Agreement shall be subject to the Participant’s compliance with the provisions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
8.    No Guarantee of Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

9.    Amendment. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, this Agreement and the Restricted Share Units, prospectively or retroactively in time (and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code with regard to awards subject thereto); provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary of the Restricted Share Units shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant, holder or beneficiary; and provided further that no consent of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary shall be required for any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination to the extent necessary to conform this Agreement to mandatory provisions of applicable federal or state laws, regulations or rulings, including but not limited to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code necessary to avoid tax penalties to the Participant. The Committee is authorized to make equitable and proportionate adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, this Agreement and the Restricted Share Units as set forth in the Plan.

10.    Determinations by the Committee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or this Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons.

11.    Provisions of the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan with this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. This Agreement, read together with the Plan, represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Company and the Participant, and shall supersede any prior agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the matters contained herein. This Agreement, and any payment of Shares in settlement of the Restricted Share Units, shall be subject to any policy of the Company regarding the recoupment or clawback of compensation as in effect at the date of this Agreement or hereafter adopted by the Board.

12. Nontransferability of Restricted Share Units. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Restricted Share Units and this Agreement shall not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Restricted Share Units otherwise than as permitted by the Plan and this Agreement shall, at the election of the Company, be null and void. Transfer of the Restricted Share Units for value is not permitted under the Plan or this Agreement.

14.    Waiver. The waiver by the Company of any provision of this Agreement at any time or for any purpose shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of the same or any other provision of this Agreement at any subsequent time or for any other purpose.

(b)    Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if the Participant is deemed on the date of Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then any payment due under this Agreement that is considered “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code payable on account of a Participant’s Separation from Service shall not be made until the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of such Separation from Service of the Participant, and (B) the date of the Participant’s death (the “Delay Period”) to the extent required under Code Section 409A.

2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE-BASED VESTING
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

[cliff-vesting for employees]


This Performance-Based Vesting Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) effective as of [ ] __, 20__, (the “Grant Date”) between United Natural Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) and __________________ (the “Participant”), evidences a Performance Award denominated in Restricted Share Units to the Participant under the United Natural Foods, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”). Except in the preceding sentence and where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include the Company and all present and future Subsidiaries. All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

1.Definitions.

(a)    “Participant,” solely for the purpose of this Agreement, means the employee designated above.

(b)    “Performance Criteria” means the performance targets related to one or more performance goals set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

(c)    “Performance Period” means the period beginning on [ ] and ending on [ ].

(d)    “Restricted Share Unit” means a right to receive a payment in the form of any one Share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, following the successful attainment of the Performance Criteria to the satisfaction of the Committee.

2.    Grant of Restricted Share Units.  In consideration of services to be rendered by the Participant to the Company, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, [______] Restricted Share Units (the “Target Amount”). The Target Amount shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan. This grant is conditional upon the Participant signing a counterpart of this Agreement and delivering such signed counterpart to the Company within sixty (60) days of this Agreement, including by electronic means if provided by the Company pursuant to Section 18.

3.    Vesting & Effect of Separation from Service.

(a) Performance Criteria: Exhibit A hereto identifies the Performance Criteria and the levels of performance that must be achieved in order to receive payment of Shares at the percentage of the Target Amount specified in Exhibit A, based on achievement of the Performance Criteria, as determined in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan. The percentage of the Target Amount based on actual achievement of the Performance Criteria as of the last day of the Performance Period is referred to herein as the “Earned Amount.” Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, if the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company throughout the Performance Period, the Participant will vest in the Earned Amount, and any amount in excess of the Earned Amount will be forfeited. Prior to the issuance of any Shares in settlement of any Restricted Share Units, the Committee shall determine and certify in writing (which may be set forth in the minutes of a meeting of the Committee) the extent to which the Performance Criteria and all other material terms of this Agreement have been met. In making such determination, the Committee shall have the right to adjust the number of Shares payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant in its sole discretion to the assessment of individual or corporate performance.




(b)    Retirement, Death, or Disability: In the event the Participant has a Separation from Service on account of:

(i)Retirement, and the Participant signs and does not revoke a release of claims in the form and manner prescribed by the Company, the following number of Restricted Share Units will vest at the end of the Performance Period (or the Release Finalization Date, if later). If the Separation from Service on account of Retirement occurs in the 365-day period beginning on the Grant Date (the “Grant Year”), the Pro-Rated Number of Restricted Share Units will vest at the end of the Performance Period. The “Pro-Rated Number” shall be the product of (i) the Earned Amount that the Participant would have earned if he or she did not have a Separation from Service on account of Retirement and (ii) the quotient of (A) the number of days beginning with the first day of the Performance Period and ending on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service as a result of Retirement and (B) 365, the number of days in the Grant Year (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no additional Restricted Share Units in which the Participant may have been entitled to vest in accordance with the Performance Criteria shall vest). If the Separation from Service on account of Retirement occurs before the end of the Performance Period but after the Grant Year, then, at the conclusion of the Performance Period, the Participant will vest in the Earned Amount that the Participant would have earned had had his or her employment continued through the end of the Performance Period.

(ii)Death or Disability, then at the conclusion of the Performance Period the Participant (or the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries in the event of the Participant’s death) will vest in the Earned Amount that the Participant would have earned had his or her employment continued through the end of the Performance Period.

(iii)The rights of the Participant (or the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries in the event of Participant’s death) in any event described in this Section 3(b) shall become non-forfeitable only at such time as the Shares issuable in settlement of such Restricted Share Units would have been issued pursuant to Section 4 hereof had the Participant continued to be employed through the end of the Performance Period.

(c) Change in Control: In the event this Award is assumed in connection with a Change in Control, the Committee shall make such adjustments to the Performance Criteria as are necessary to equitably account for the Change in Control. In the event the Participant has a Separation from Service and such Separation from Service is not for Cause, or the Participant’s Separation from Service is for Good Reason, in either case within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control (and before the Restricted Share Units otherwise have become vested under Section 3(a) or (b)), the Participant shall vest in the Restricted Share Units at the Target Amount granted under Section 2 of this Agreement and the Participant’s rights to such vested amount of Restricted Share Units shall become non-forfeitable as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. In the event that this Award is not assumed by the Acquiror in connection with a Change in Control, all of the Restricted Share Units shall vest immediately prior to the Change in Control and shall settle immediately following the Change in Control (notwithstanding the longer period of time for settlement provided in Section 4 below). .

2




(d)    Separation from Service without Cause: If the Participant has a Separation from Service without Cause (as defined in the Plan), then:

(i) the PSU Separation Pro-Rated Number of performance-based Restricted Share Units shall continue to vest, on the same terms that such performance-based Restricted Share Units would have vested had the Participant remained an employee, but without the requirement of continued employment provided, however, that if the vesting date under such terms is earlier than the Release Finalization Date, the performance-based Restricted Share Units shall vest effective as of the Release Finalization Date; and
(ii) any remaining performance-based Restricted Share Units not vesting as provided above shall be forfeited effective as of the date of Separation from Service without Cause.
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting and payout of any performance-based Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be subject to the satisfaction of any conditions required for payout of the performance-based Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. In no event shall the vesting treatment pursuant to this Section 3(d) accelerate the settlement of any Restricted Share Units if such Restricted Share Units are otherwise subject to Section 409A of the Code.

The “PSU Separation Pro-Rated Number” for performance-based Restricted Share Units shall be the product of (A) the total number of performance-based Restricted Share Units and (B) the quotient of (1) the number of days beginning on the first day of the Performance Period and ending on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service without Cause, and (2) the total number of days in the Performance Period (for example 1,095 days for a three-year performance period).

(e)    Except as provided in Section 3(b), (c), or (d) above or as otherwise provided in any written agreement by and between the Company and the Participant, if the Participant has a Separation from Service for any reason prior to the expiration of the Performance Period, all then-unvested Restricted Share Units shall be canceled immediately and shall not be payable to the Participant.

(f)    In case of any conflict between the terms of this Section 3 and any written employment agreement between the Company and the Participant, the terms of such written employment agreement shall control.

4.    Settlement and Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Restricted Share Units that have become vested with respect to the Performance Period pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement shall be paid and settled as of the “Settlement Date” which is the date that is as soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination of performance described in Section 3(a). The payment of the Shares shall be made to the Participant (or the Participant’s assignee or beneficiary if permitted by the Plan or the Committee) in accordance with the Company’s grant and award policy no later than March 15th of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends and may be made as a book-entry confirmation or through the issuance of a certificate evidencing such Shares.

5. Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be issued upon the vesting of the Restricted Share Units (including, without limitation, voting rights and any rights to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such Shares) unless and until the Shares have been issued to the Participant. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.

3




6.    Withholding. The Company’s obligation to make payment and settlement of vested Restricted Share Units shall be subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding obligations or withholding taxes, including any employer minimum statutory withholding (“Withholding Taxes”), and the Participant shall pay the amount of any such Withholding Taxes to the Company as set forth in this Section 6. The Participant may satisfy his or her obligation to pay the Withholding Taxes by (i) having the Company withhold Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant pursuant to payment and settlement of vested Restricted Share Units; or (ii) delivering, actually or by attestation, to the Company Shares already owned by the Participant; provided that the amount of such Shares withheld or Shares delivered (with the value of such Shares being based on the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the vesting date determined pursuant to Section 3) shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum amount of Withholding Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from compensation or other amounts owing to the Participant an amount not to exceed the Withholding Taxes.

7.    Covenants. As a condition to the receipt of the Award, the Participant hereby agrees to be subject to the restrictive covenants as set forth in Appendix A (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement” or “RCA”). The Award shall be forfeited in the event of noncompliance with the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
The Participant expressly agrees that all payments and benefits due the Participant under this Agreement shall be subject to the Participant’s compliance with the provisions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
8.    No Guarantee of Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

9.    Amendment. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, this Agreement and the Restricted Share Units, prospectively or retroactively in time (and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code with regard to awards subject thereto); provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary of the Restricted Share Units shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant, holder or beneficiary; and provided further that no consent of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary shall be required for any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination to the extent necessary to conform this Agreement to mandatory provisions of applicable federal or state laws, regulations or rulings, including but not limited to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code necessary to avoid tax penalties to the Participant. The Committee is authorized to make equitable and proportionate adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, this Agreement and the Restricted Share Units as set forth in the Plan.

10.    Determinations by the Committee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or this Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons.

11.    Provisions of the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan with this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. This Agreement, read together with the Plan, represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Company and the Participant, and shall supersede any prior agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the matters contained herein. This Agreement, and any payment of Shares in settlement of the Restricted Share Units, shall be subject to any policy of the Company regarding the recoupment or clawback of compensation as in effect at the date of this Agreement or hereafter adopted by the Board.

UNITED NATURAL FOODS, INC.

2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

[time vesting for Chief Executive Officer]


This Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) effective as of _________ (the “Grant Date”), between United Natural Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) and ____________ (the “Participant”), evidences an Award denominated in Restricted Share Units to the Participant under the United Natural Foods, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”). Except in the preceding sentence and where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include the Company and all present and future Subsidiaries. All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

1.Definitions.

(a)“Participant,” solely for the purpose of this Agreement, means the employee designated above.

(b)    “Restricted Share Unit” means a right to receive a payment in the form of any one Share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.

(c)    “Vesting Period” means the period beginning on ____________ and ending on ____________.

2.    Grant of Restricted Share Units.  In consideration of services to be rendered by the Participant to the Company, the Company hereby grants to the Participant ____________ Restricted Share Units, on the terms and conditions and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan. This grant is conditional upon the Participant signing a counterpart of this Agreement and delivering such signed counterpart to the Company within sixty (60) days of this Agreement, including by electronic means if provided by the Company pursuant to Section 18

3.    Vesting & Effect of Separation from Service.

(a)    Generally: Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, if the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date, the Restricted Share Units will vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Vesting Date                Restricted Share Units

[Vesting date]        [Number or % of shares that vest on the vesting date]

[Vesting date]        [Number or % of shares that vest on the vesting date]

[Vesting date]        [Number or % of shares that vest on the vesting date]




(b)    Retirement: In the event the Participant has a Separation from Service on account of Retirement (as defined below) and signs and does not revoke a release of claims in the form and manner prescribed by the Company, the Participant shall continue to vest through the Vesting Period in the following number of Restricted Share Units. If the Separation from Service on account of Retirement occurs in the 365-day period beginning on the Grant Date (the “Grant Year”), the Pro-Rated Number of Restricted Share Units will continue to vest through the Vesting Period. The “Pro-Rated Number” shall be the product of (i) the total number of Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement and (ii) the quotient of (A) the number of days beginning with the Grant Date and ending on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service as a result of Retirement and (B) 365, the number of days in the Grant Year. If the Separation from Service on account of Retirement occurs before the end of the Vesting Period but after the Grant Year, all of the then-unvested Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement will continue to vest through the Vesting Period. If the Release Finalization Date falls after any vesting date in Section 3(a), the applicable Restricted Share Units will vest as of the Release Finalization Date; provided, however, that if the period for the Participant to consider and/or revoke a release of claims spans two calendar years, then the settlement/payment of the applicable Shares will in all cases occur in the second calendar year. The rights of the Participant in the event of Retirement with respect to any then-unvested Restricted Share Units shall become non-forfeitable only at such time as the Shares issuable in settlement of such Restricted Share Units would have been issued pursuant to Section 4 hereof had the Participant continued to be employed through the end of the Vesting Period. For purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding the provisions of the Plan, “Retirement” means the Participant’s retirement from employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on or after the date on which both of the following have occurred: (i) the Participant has attained 59 years of age and (ii) the Participant has provided six (6) years of service to the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Years of service will be calculated as full years since the Participant’s most recent “hire date” or “rehire date,” which shall mean the applicable date on file for the Participant in the Company’s human resources books and records, determined in the Company’s sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, “Retirement” does not include the Participant’s Separation from Service for Cause.

(c)    Death and Disability: In the event that the Participant has a Separation from Service on account of death or Disability at any time after the Grant Date, all of the then-unvested Restricted Share Units shall fully vest on the date of the Separation from Service.

(d)    Change in Control: In the event the Participant has a Separation from Service and such Separation from Service is not for Cause, or the Participant’s Separation from Service is for Good Reason, in either case within twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control (and before the Restricted Share Units otherwise have become vested under Section 3(a), (b) or (c)), the Participant shall vest in all of the Restricted Share Units granted under Section 2 of this Agreement and the Participant’s rights to such Restricted Share Units shall become non-forfeitable as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. In the event that this Award is not assumed by the Acquiror in connection with a Change in Control, all of the Restricted Share Units shall vest immediately prior to the Change in Control and shall settle upon or immediately following the Change in Control (notwithstanding the longer period of time for settlement provided in Section 4 below). In the event that settlement of the Restricted Share Units at the time described above would result in the imposition of tax on the Participant (if the Participant is eligible for Retirement) pursuant to the operation of Code Section 409A (as defined below), such settlement shall take place on the earliest date upon which settlement may be made without resulting in the imposition of such tax.

(e)    Separation from Service without Cause: If the Participant has a Separation from Service without Cause (as defined in the Plan), then:


2



(i) any unvested Restricted Share Units that were scheduled to vest within 365 days from the date of separation and were granted more than 365 days preceding the date of separation, shall vest effective as of the Release Finalization Date;

(ii) the Separation Pro-Rated Number of Restricted Share Units that were scheduled to vest within 365 days from the date of separation, and were granted less than 365 days prior to the date of separation, shall vest effective as of the Release Finalization Date; and

(iii) any remaining Restricted Share Units not vesting as provided above shall be forfeited effective as of the date of Separation from Service without Cause.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting, payment, and settlement of any Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall be subject to the satisfaction of any conditions required for payout of the Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. In no event shall the accelerated vesting pursuant to this Section 3(e) accelerate the settlement of any Restricted Share Units if such Restricted Share Units are otherwise subject to Section 409A of the Code.

The “Separation Pro-Rated Number” shall be the product of (A) the total number of Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement less than 365 days prior to the date of Separation from Service without Cause and (B) the quotient of (1) the number of days from the Grant Date to the date of Separation from Service without Cause and (2) 365.

(f)    Other Termination: Except as provided in Section 3(b),(c), (d) or (e) above or as otherwise provided in any written agreement by and between the Company and the Participant, if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs for any reason prior to the expiration of the Vesting Period, all then-unvested Restricted Share Units shall be canceled immediately and shall not be payable to the Participant.

(g)    Effect of Separate Written Agreement, Including Severance Agreement and/or Change in Control Agreement: In case of any conflict between the terms of this Section 3 and any written agreement, including any severance agreement and/or change in control agreement, between the Company and the Participant, the terms of such written agreement shall control to the extent applicable.

4.    Settlement and Payment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Restricted Share Units that have become vested in accordance with the vesting schedule pursuant to Section 3 shall be paid and settled as of the “Settlement Date” which is the date that is as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date determined under Section 3 and no later than March 15th of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the vesting date occurs. However, if the Participant is eligible for Retirement at any point during the Vesting Period or if any portion of the award is otherwise subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Settlement Date shall be the date that is as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date set forth in Section 3, but in no event later than December 31 of the calendar year in which such vesting date occurs, unless the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs on account of Retirement and the period for the Participant to consider and/or revoke a release of claims spans two calendar years, in which case the Settlement Date shall in all cases occur in the second calendar year. The Company shall issue to the Participant one Share for each Restricted Share Unit which has become vested with respect to the vesting schedule pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement. The payment of the Shares shall be made to the Participant (or the Participant’s assignee or beneficiary if permitted by the Plan or the Committee) in accordance with the Company’s grant and award policy and may be made as a book-entry confirmation or through the issuance of a certificate evidencing such Shares.


3



5.    Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be issued upon the vesting of the Restricted Share Units (including, without limitation, voting rights and any rights to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such Shares) unless and until the Shares have been issued to the Participant. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.

6.    Withholding. The Company’s obligation to make payment and settlement of vested Restricted Share Units shall be subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding obligations or withholding taxes, including any employer minimum statutory withholding (“Withholding Taxes”), and the Participant shall pay the amount of any such Withholding Taxes to the Company as set forth in this Section 6. The Participant may satisfy his or her obligation to pay the Withholding Taxes by (i) having the Company withhold Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant pursuant to payment and settlement of vested Restricted Share Units; or (ii) delivering, actually or by attestation, to the Company Shares already owned by the Participant; provided that the amount of such Shares withheld or Shares delivered (with the value of such Shares being based on the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the vesting date determined pursuant to Section 3) shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum amount of Withholding Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from compensation or other amounts owing to the Participant an amount not to exceed the Withholding Taxes.

7.    Covenants. As a condition to the receipt of the Award, the Participant hereby agrees to be subject to the restrictive covenants as set forth in Appendix A (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement” or “RCA”). The Award shall be forfeited in the event of noncompliance with the Restrictive Covenant Agreement. The Participant expressly agrees that all payments and benefits due the Participant under this Agreement shall be subject to the Participant’s compliance with the provisions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

8.    No Guarantee of Employment.  Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause.

9.    Amendment. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, this Agreement and the Restricted Share Units, prospectively or retroactively in time (and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code with regard to awards subject thereto); provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary of the Restricted Share Units shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant, holder or beneficiary; and provided further that no consent of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary shall be required for any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination to the extent necessary to conform this Agreement to mandatory provisions of applicable federal or state laws, regulations or rulings, including but not limited to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code necessary to avoid tax penalties to the Participant. The Committee is authorized to make equitable and proportionate adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, this Agreement and the Restricted Share Units as set forth in the Plan.

10.    Determinations by the Committee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or this Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons.

2020 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE-BASED VESTING
RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

[cliff-vesting for Chief Executive Officer]


This Performance-Based Vesting Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) effective as of __________, 20__, (the “Grant Date”) between United Natural Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) and __________________ (the “Participant”), evidences a Performance Award denominated in Restricted Share Units to the Participant under the United Natural Foods, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”). Except in the preceding sentence and where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include the Company and all present and future Subsidiaries. All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

1.Definitions.

(a)    “Participant,” solely for the purpose of this Agreement, means the employee designated above.

(b)    “Performance Criteria” means the performance targets related to one or more performance goals set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

(c)    “Performance Period” means the period beginning on [ ] and ending on [ ].

(d)    “Restricted Share Unit” means a right to receive a payment in the form of any one Share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, following the successful attainment of the Performance Criteria to the satisfaction of the Committee.

2.    Grant of Restricted Share Units.  In consideration of services to be rendered by the Participant to the Company, the Company hereby grants to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, [______] Restricted Share Units (the “Target Amount”). The Target Amount shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan. This grant is conditional upon the Participant signing a counterpart of this Agreement and delivering such signed counterpart to the Company within sixty (60) days of this Agreement, including by electronic means if provided by the Company pursuant to Section 18.

3.    Vesting & Effect of Separation from Service.




(a) Performance Criteria: Exhibit A hereto identifies the Performance Criteria and the levels of performance that must be achieved in order to receive payment of Shares at the percentage of the Target Amount specified in Exhibit A, based on achievement of the Performance Criteria, as determined in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan. The percentage of the Target Amount based on actual achievement of the Performance Criteria as of the last day of the Performance Period is referred to herein as the “Earned Amount.” Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, if the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company throughout the Performance Period, the Participant will vest in the Earned Amount, and any amount in excess of the Earned Amount will be forfeited. Prior to the issuance of any Shares in settlement of any Restricted Share Units, the Committee shall determine and certify in writing (which may be set forth in the minutes of a meeting of the Committee) the extent to which the Performance Criteria and all other material terms of this Agreement have been met. In making such determination, the Committee shall have the right to adjust the number of Shares payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant in its sole discretion to the assessment of individual or corporate performance.

(b)    Retirement, Death, or Disability: In the event the Participant has a Separation from Service on account of

(i)Retirement, and the Participant signs and does not revoke a release of claims in the form and manner prescribed by the Company, the following number of Restricted Share Units will vest at the end of the Performance Period (or the Release Finalization Date, if later). If the Separation from Service on account of Retirement occurs in the 365-day period beginning on the Grant Date (the “Grant Year”), the Pro-Rated Number of Restricted Share Units will vest at the end of the Performance Period. The “Pro-Rated Number” shall be the product of (i) the Earned Amount that the Participant would have earned if he or she did not have a Separation from Service on account of Retirement and (ii) the quotient of (A) the number of days beginning with the first day of the Performance Period and ending on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service as a result of Retirement and (B) 365, the number of days in the Grant Year (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no additional Restricted Share Units in which the Participant may have been entitled to vest in accordance with the Performance Criteria shall vest). If the Separation from Service on account of Retirement occurs before the end of the Performance Period but after the Grant Year, then, at the conclusion of the Performance Period, the Participant will vest in the Earned Amount that the Participant would have earned had had his or her employment continued through the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding the provisions of the Plan, “Retirement” means the Participant’s retirement from employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on or after the date on which both of the following have occurred: (i) the Participant has attained 59 years of age and (ii) the Participant has provided six (6) years of service to the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Years of service will be calculated as full years since the Participant’s most recent “hire date” or “rehire date,” which shall mean the applicable date on file for the Participant in the Company’s human resources books and records, determined in the Company’s sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, “Retirement” does not include the Participant’s Separation from Service for Cause.

(ii)Death or Disability, then at the conclusion of the Performance Period, the Participant (or the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries in the event of the Participant’s death) will vest in the Earned Amount that the Participant would have earned had his or her employment continued through the end of the Performance Period.

(iii)The rights of the Participant (or the Participant’s estate or beneficiaries in the event of Participant’s death) in any event described in this Section 3(b) shall become non-forfeitable only at such time as the Shares issuable in settlement of such Restricted Share Units would have been issued pursuant to Section 4 hereof had the Participant continued to be employed through the end of the Performance Period.

2




(c)    Change in Control: In the event this Award is assumed in connection with a Change in Control, the Committee shall make such adjustments to the Performance Criteria as are necessary to equitably account for the Change in Control. In the event the Participant has a Separation from Service and such Separation from Service is not for Cause, or the Participant’s Separation from Service is for Good Reason, in either case within twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control (and before the Restricted Share Units otherwise have become vested under Section 3(a) or (b)), the Participant shall vest in the Restricted Share Units at the Target Amount granted under Section 2 of this Agreement and the Participant’s rights to such vested amount of Restricted Share Units shall become non-forfeitable as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. In the event that this Award is not assumed by the Acquiror in connection with a Change in Control, all of the Restricted Share Units shall vest immediately prior to the Change in Control and shall settle immediately following the Change in Control (notwithstanding the longer period of time for settlement provided in Section 4 below).

(d)    Separation from Service without Cause: If the Participant has a Separation from Service without Cause (as defined in the Plan), then:

(i) the PSU Separation Pro-Rated Number of performance-based Restricted Share Units shall continue to vest, on the same terms that such performance-based Restricted Share Units would have vested had the Participant remained an employee, but without the requirement of continued employment provided, however, that if the vesting date under such terms is earlier than the Release Finalization Date, the performance-based Restricted Share Units shall vest effective as of the Release Finalization Date; and
(ii) any remaining performance-based Restricted Share Units not vesting as provided above shall be forfeited effective as of the date of Separation from Service without Cause.
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting and payout of any performance-based Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be subject to the satisfaction of any conditions required for payout of the performance-based Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan. In no event shall the vesting treatment pursuant to this Section 3(d) accelerate the settlement of any Restricted Share Units if such Restricted Share Units are otherwise subject to Section 409A of the Code.

The “PSU Separation Pro-Rated Number” for performance-based Restricted Share Units shall be the product of (A) the total number of performance-based Restricted Share Units and (B) the quotient of (1) the number of days beginning on the first day of the Performance Period and ending on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service without Cause, and (2) the total number of days in the Performance Period (for example 1,095 days for a three-year performance period).

(e)    Except as provided in Section 3(b), (c), or (d) above or as otherwise provided in any written agreement by and between the Company and the Participant, if the Participant has a Separation from Service for any reason prior to the expiration of the Performance Period, all then-unvested Restricted Share Units shall be canceled immediately and shall not be payable to the Participant.

(f)    In case of any conflict between the terms of this Section 3 and any written employment agreement between the Company and the Participant, the terms of such written employment agreement shall control.

4. Settlement and Payment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Restricted Share Units that have become vested with respect to the Performance Period pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement shall be paid and settled as of the “Settlement Date” which is the date that is as soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination of performance described in Section 3(a). The payment of the Shares shall be made to the Participant (or the Participant’s assignee or beneficiary if permitted by the Plan or the Committee) in accordance with the Company’s grant and award policy no later than March 15th of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends and may be made as a book-entry confirmation or through the issuance of a certificate evidencing such Shares.

5.    Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares which may be issued upon the vesting of the Restricted Share Units (including, without limitation, voting rights and any rights to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such Shares) unless and until the Shares have been issued to the Participant. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.

6.    Withholding. The Company’s obligation to make payment and settlement of vested Restricted Share Units shall be subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local and foreign withholding obligations or withholding taxes, including any employer minimum statutory withholding (“Withholding Taxes”), and the Participant shall pay the amount of any such Withholding Taxes to the Company as set forth in this Section 6. The Participant may satisfy his or her obligation to pay the Withholding Taxes by (i) having the Company withhold Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant pursuant to payment and settlement of vested Restricted Share Units; or (ii) delivering, actually or by attestation, to the Company Shares already owned by the Participant; provided that the amount of such Shares withheld or Shares delivered (with the value of such Shares being based on the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the vesting date determined pursuant to Section 3) shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum amount of Withholding Taxes. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from compensation or other amounts owing to the Participant an amount not to exceed the Withholding Taxes.

7.    Covenants. As a condition to the receipt of the Award, the Participant hereby agrees to be subject to the restrictive covenants as set forth in Appendix A (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement” or “RCA”).

The Participant expressly agrees that all payments and benefits due the Participant under this Agreement shall be subject to the Participant’s compliance with the provisions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

9. Amendment. Subject to the restrictions contained in the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, this Agreement and the Restricted Share Units, prospectively or retroactively in time (and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code with regard to awards subject thereto); provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary of the Restricted Share Units shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant, holder or beneficiary; and provided further that no consent of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary shall be required for any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination to the extent necessary to conform this Agreement to mandatory provisions of applicable federal or state laws, regulations or rulings, including but not limited to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code necessary to avoid tax penalties to the Participant.

10.    Determinations by the Committee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or this Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons.

11.    Provisions of the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan with this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. This Agreement, read together with the Plan, represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Company and the Participant, and shall supersede any prior agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the matters contained herein. This Agreement, and any payment of Shares in settlement of the Restricted Share Units, shall be subject to any policy of the Company regarding the recoupment or clawback of compensation as in effect at the date of this Agreement or hereafter adopted by the Board.

12.    Nontransferability of Restricted Share Units.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Restricted Share Units and this Agreement shall not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant.

14.    Waiver. The waiver by the Company of any provision of this Agreement at any time or for any purpose shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of the same or any other provision of this Agreement at any subsequent time or for any other purpose.

15.    Section 409A.

(a)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Share Units granted under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be either exempt from or in compliance therewith. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Participant by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.

(b) Notwithstanding any other payment schedule provided herein to the contrary, if the Participant is deemed on the date of Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then any payment due under this Agreement that is considered “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code payable on account of a Participant’s Separation from Service shall not be made until the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of such Separation from Service of the Participant, and (B) the date of the Participant’s death (the “Delay Period”) to the extent required under Code Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 15(b) shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum in accordance with the Agreement.

5




(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, any payment due under this Agreement within a period following the Participant’s Separation from Service, death, Disability, Retirement or other event, shall be made on a date during such period as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

16.    Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement, except for the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles. The validity, construction and effect of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall be determined in accordance with Section 9 of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

17.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any successor to the Company or assignee of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the Participant's legal representative. All obligations imposed upon the Participant and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant's heirs, executors, administrator and successors.

18.    Electronic Communication. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any document related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third-party designated by the Company.
