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 2026 and 2025 relate to the 13-week fiscal quarters ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively. References to fiscal 2026 and 2025 year-to-date relate to the 26-week fiscal periods ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, 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 2, 2025 (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 income (loss), net cash flows, or total assets and liabilities.
Cybersecurity Incident
As previously disclosed, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company became aware of unauthorized activity on certain information technology systems. The Company promptly activated its incident response plan and implemented containment measures, including proactively taking certain systems offline (the “Cybersecurity Incident”).

Table of Contents
The Company recognized $ 7 million of incremental costs and charges related to the Cybersecurity Incident in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, of which $ 6 million is included in Gross profit and $ 1 million is included in Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized $ 21 million of incremental costs and charges related to the Cybersecurity Incident in fiscal 2026 year-to-date, of which $ 19 million is included in Gross profit and $ 2 million is included in Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company maintains insurance coverage to limit its exposure to losses such as those related to the Cybersecurity Incident. The Company has submitted, and intends to continue to submit, claims to its insurers for reimbursement of costs, expenses, and losses stemming from the Cybersecurity Incident and expects that the full claim and settlement process will extend throughout fiscal 2026. The Company received insurance proceeds of $ 10 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and $ 20 million in fiscal 2026 year-to-date, related to the Cybersecurity Incident the Company experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which were recognized as a reduction to Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, on February 20, 2026, the Company received an incremental $ 10 million in cybersecurity insurance proceeds. The timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses.
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 January 31, 2026 and August 2, 2025, the Company had net book overdrafts of $ 287 million and $ 267 million, respectively.
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 $ 359 million and $ 349 million as of January 31, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively, which is recorded within Inventories, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 continues to evaluate the impact of adopting the amendments in this update on its consolidated financial statements. Other than the new annual disclosure requirements, the ASU is not expected to have a significant 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.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software .

The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update can be applied retrospectively, prospectively, or on a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments in this update on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements . ASU 2025-11 clarifies interim disclosure requirements and provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures. The amendments also incorporate a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose material events that occur after the end of the last annual reporting period. The Company is required to adopt the amendments in this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3—REVENUE RECOGNITION
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.
The Company disaggregates revenue by business division based on product and service offerings and determined that disaggregating revenue at the segment level achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Refer to Note 14—Business Segments for Net sales by reportable segment.

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 January 31, 2026, a 100-basis point increase in forward SOFR interest rates would increase the fair value of the interest rate swaps by approximately $ 9 million; a 100-basis point decrease in forward SOFR interest rates would decrease the fair value of the interest rate swaps by approximately $ 9 million. Refer to Note 8—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 8—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 January 31, 2026. Interest rate swap contracts are reflected at their fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 7—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 subsequent reporting periods, the Company performs a qualitative analysis for quarterly prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness. The Company also monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis and noted that the counterparties are reputable financial institutions. The entire change in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in Other comprehensive income (loss) (outside of earnings) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged transactions affect earnings.

Term Loan Facility
The term loan agreement dated as of October 22, 2018 (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”) provides for a senior secured first lien term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an initial principal amount of $ 500 million, 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 January 31, 2026 and August 2, 2025, there was $ 617 million and $ 642 million, respectively, of owned real property pledged as collateral that was included in Property and equipment, net and Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of January 31, 2026, the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at rates that, at the Company’s 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 %.
On December 8, 2025, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $ 9 million on the Term Loan Facility funded with proceeds from the sale of the Bismarck, North Dakota distribution center. In connection with this prepayment, the Company incurred an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment which was recorded within Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
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.
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) January 31, 2026
Applicable margin for revolver base rate loans 0.00 % - 0.25 %

(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).

Table of Contents
As of January 31, 2026, the borrowing base was $ 2,330 million, reflecting the advance rates described above and $ 110 million of reserves, which is below the $ 2,730 million limit of availability. This resulted in total availability of $ 2,330 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) January 31, 2026
Total availability for ABL loans and letters of credit $ 2,330

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.
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, on February 26, 2026, the Company redeemed $ 115 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. The redemption was funded with incremental borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility. In connection with this redemption, the Company expects to incur an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment, which will be recorded within Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Following the redemption, $ 385 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes remain outstanding.

Contributions
No cash 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 2026. 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 2026. Contributions for the second quarters and year-to-date fiscal 2026 and 2025 were de minimis.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
The Company contributed $ 11 million and $ 12 million in the second quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $ 23 million and $ 25 million in fiscal 2026 and 2025 year-to-date, respectively, to multiemployer pension plans, which contributions are included within Operating expenses.
NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was an expense rate of 13.0 % on pre-tax income compared to a benefit rate of 60.0 % on pre-tax loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The change from the second quarter of fiscal 2025 is primarily driven by the increase in pre-tax income during the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The primary drivers for the variation between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate were discrete tax benefits resulting from employee stock award vestings.

Table of Contents
The effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 year-to-date was a benefit rate of 14.3 % on pre-tax income compared to a benefit rate of 24.1 % on pre-tax loss for fiscal 2025 year-to-date. The change from fiscal 2025 year-to-date is primarily driven by the increase in pre-tax income, discrete tax benefits from favorable tax audit settlements and employee stock award vestings during fiscal 2026, as well as the tax credit benefit of a solar array placed in service during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The primary drivers for the variation between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate were favorable audit settlements, discrete tax benefits resulting from employee stock award vestings and the solar tax credit benefit.

NOTE 14—BUSINESS SEGMENTS
As disclosed in the Annual Report, the Company updated its segment reporting structure effective for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to reflect organizational changes and align with how the business is now operated and managed. The Company has three reportable segments: Natural, Conventional and Retail. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the new reportable operating segments. Reportable segments are reviewed on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a change in reportable segments has occurred.
The Natural reportable segment is engaged in 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. The Conventional reportable segment is engaged in the wholesale distribution of conventional grocery and non-food products and services and includes the Company’s portfolio of conventional owned brands. The Retail reportable segment derives revenues from the sale of groceries and other products at the Company’s grocery and liquor stores operating under the Cub® Foods and Shoppers® banners. Intersegment sales represent sales between the segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment transactions are generally recorded at amounts that approximate market value.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM uses segment Adjusted EBITDA as the measure of segment profitability to assess the performance and core business trends of each segment through regular review of financial information, and when making decisions about the allocation of resources to each segment. The Company’s CODM uses segment Adjusted EBITDA primarily as a part of the annual budget and forecasting process. Segment Adjusted EBITDA includes revenues and costs attributable to each of the respective business segments and certain allocated corporate expenses, based on the segment’s estimated consumption of corporately managed resources.
Unallocated corporate overhead includes a portion of centrally-managed corporate functions, which include, but are not limited to, corporate legal operations, investor relations, treasury, certain enterprise-wide information technology and other corporate operating expenses that are not integral to segment performance. Unallocated corporate overhead excludes items such as restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses and share-based compensation. These items are excluded from the definition of Adjusted EBITDA and are added back to reconcile segment Adjusted EBITDA to Income (loss) before income taxes.
18
Table of Contents
The Company does not report total assets by segment for internal or external reporting purposes as the Company’s CODM does not assess performance or allocate resources based on segment assets. Additionally, the Company does not record its revenues within its Natural nor Conventional reportable segments for financial reporting purposes by product group, and it is therefore impracticable for it to report them accordingly.
The following tables provide financial information for each reportable segment, along with a reconciliation to Income (loss) before income taxes:

NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities
The Company has outstanding guarantees related to certain lease obligations of various retailers as of January 31, 2026. These guarantees were generally made to support the business growth of wholesale customers. The guarantees are generally for the entire terms of the leases with remaining terms that range from less than one year to ten 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 January 31, 2026, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company would be required to make in the event of default of all guarantees was $ 9 million ($ 8 million on a discounted basis). Based on the indemnification agreements, personal guarantees and results of the reviews of performance risk, as of January 31, 2026, 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 January 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $ 513 million of non-cancelable future purchase obligations, most of which will be paid and utilized in the ordinary course within one year.

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. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company reached an agreement to settle these cases for $ 23.4 million and has executed the settlement agreements. The Company has recorded a liability related to these agreements within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which the Company expects to pay in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The settlement notice and administration process is ongoing.
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. The trial date is set for February 18, 2027. 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. On April 1, 2025, the relators filed a motion asking the District Court to alter or amend the judgment to enter judgment for relators on penalties and a new trial on damages. The Company filed its response in opposition to the motion on April 29, 2025. On October 31, 2025, the Court denied the relators’ motions. On November 26, 2025, the relators filed a notice of appeal with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the Company filed its cross appeal on December 5, 2025. The parties are engaged in briefing the 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 the Company’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. On March 7, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification and the Company filed its response on June 13, 2025. The parties are waiting for the court to schedule a hearing or rule on the motion for class certification. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.
On February 6, 2026, a shareholder filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit against the Company as a nominal defendant and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company as defendants. In Raye Stapleton v. J. Alexander Miller Douglas, et. al. pending in Delaware Chancery Court, the plaintiffs allege that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing, approving and/or acquiescing in the making of materially false and/or misleading statements and failing to disclose material facts about the Company’s business, operations and prospects based primarily on the same alleged conduct underlying the securities class action described above.
The Company is named in a putative class action lawsuit that was filed on November 3, 2024. The case is captioned NYSM Organics LLC v. United Natural Foods, Inc., and is pending in the Rhode Island Superior Court. In the Amended Complaint, which was filed on December 30, 2024, the plaintiff alleges that the Company took prompt-pay discounts improperly. The Amended Complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, and violation of the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act. In an order dated June 5, 2025, the Court dismissed the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act claim. The Company filed its answer to the Amended Complaint on June 16, 2025.

Table of Contents
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. Additionally, costs could result from claims from customers or suppliers related to the Cybersecurity Incident. 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 January 31, 2026, amounts accrued for these legal proceedings not quantified above are not material, individually or in the aggregate.
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.
