We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 1, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended August 1, 2026, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 1, 2026 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 48 Table of Contents Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Sufficiency of audit evidence over inventory quantities As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company held $1,946 million of inventory, net as of August 1, 2026, the majority of which was located across 46 distribution centers and warehouses. The Company’s processes to track and determine consolidated inventory rely on various perpetual inventory systems which involve the interaction of information technology (IT) systems. We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained related to the quantities of inventory located at distribution centers and warehouses as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence over the related quantities of inventory required challenging auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed, including determining the number of locations visited and the need to involve IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge due to the interaction of IT systems that track physical inventory quantities by location. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over quantities of inventory located at distribution centers and warehouses by evaluating: • The homogeneity of the locations • The historical inventory locations we have visited and results of prior physical counts • The Company’s inventory cycle count program, including compliance with the cycle count program requirements, the monitoring of the cycle counts, and the related results. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s inventory process, including controls over the Company’s determination of the quantities of inventory located at distribution centers and warehouses. We involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in testing certain IT application controls, as well as certain controls related to access to programs and data, program changes, and computer operations that support the Company's perpetual inventory systems. We tested the existence and completeness of inventory by counting inventory quantities located at distribution centers and warehouses on a sample basis through location visits during the year to evaluate the Company's perpetual inventory records. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained over quantities of inventory located at distribution centers and warehouses by assessing the results of procedures performed. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1993.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business United Natural Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “UNFI,” or “our”) is a leading grocery wholesaler and support services provider to retailers in 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 fiscal 2026, fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, or 2026, 2025 and 2024, as presented in tabular disclosure, relate to the 52-week, 52-week and 53-week fiscal periods ended August 1, 2026, August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, respectively. Fiscal 2024 contained 53 weeks with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 containing 14 weeks. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 Consolidated Financial Statements certain immaterial amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year 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 June 2025, the Company experienced a cybersecurity incident. During fiscal 2026, the Company recognized $ 24 million of incremental costs and charges related to the cybersecurity incident, of which $ 20 million is included in Gross profit and $ 4 million is included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During fiscal 2025, the Company recognized $ 26 million of costs and charges related to the cybersecurity incident, of which $ 15 million is included in Gross profit and $ 11 million is included in Operating expenses in the 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 claims to its insurers for reimbursement of costs, expenses, and losses stemming from the June 2025 cybersecurity incident. The Company received insurance proceeds of $ 50 million during fiscal 2026 related to this cybersecurity incident, which were recognized as a reduction to Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The timing of recognizing insurance recoveries has differed from the timing of recognizing the associated costs and expenses and when associated losses were incurred. 55 Table of Contents Net Sales Our Net sales consist primarily of product sales of natural, organic, specialty and conventional food 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 the Company to customers for shipping and handling and fuel surcharges. Vendor incentives do not reduce sales in circumstances where the vendor tenders the incentive to the customer, when the incentive is not a direct reimbursement from a vendor, when the incentive is not influenced by or negotiated in conjunction with any other incentive arrangements and when the incentive is not subject to an agency relationship with the vendor, whether expressed or implied. The Company recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for goods or services when its performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of those promised goods or services to its customers. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 defines a five-step process to recognize revenue that requires judgment and estimates, including identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognizing revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenues from wholesale product sales are recognized when control is transferred, which typically happens upon delivery, depending on the contract terms with the customer. Typically, shipping and customer receipt of wholesale products occur on the same business day. Discounts and allowances provided to customers are recognized as a reduction in Net sales as control of the products is transferred to customers. The Company recognizes freight revenue related to transportation of its products when control of the product is transferred, which is typically upon delivery. Revenues from Retail product sales are recognized at the point of sale upon customer check-out. Advertising income earned from our franchisees that participate in our Retail advertising program is recognized as Net sales. The Company recognizes loyalty program expense in the form of fuel rewards as a reduction of Net sales. Sales tax is excluded from Net sales. Limited rights of return exist with our customers due to the nature of the products we sell. Refer to Note 3—Revenue Recognition for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies. Cost of Sales Cost of sales consist primarily of amounts paid to suppliers for product sold, plus transportation costs necessary to bring the product to, or move product between, the Company’s distribution centers and retail stores, partially offset by consideration received from suppliers in connection with the purchase, transportation or promotion of the suppliers’ products. Retail store advertising expenses are components of Cost of sales and are expensed as incurred. The Company receives allowances and credits from vendors for buying activities, such as volume incentives, promotional allowances directed by the Company to customers, cash discounts and new product introductions (collectively referred to as “vendor funds”). The Company recognizes vendor funds for merchandising activities as a reduction of Cost of sales when the related products are sold, unless it has been determined that a discrete identifiable benefit has been provided to the vendor, in which case the related amounts are recognized within Net sales. Vendor funds that have been earned as a result of completing the required performance under the terms of the underlying agreements but for which the product has not yet been sold are recognized as a reduction to the cost of inventory. When payments or rebates can be reasonably estimated and it is probable that the specified target will be met, the payment or rebate is accrued. However, when attaining the target is not probable, the payment or rebate is recognized only when and if the target is achieved. Any upfront payments received for multi-period contracts are generally deferred and amortized over the life of the contracts. The majority of the vendor funds contracts have terms of two years or less. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in Net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are recorded in Cost of sales, whereas shipping and handling costs for receiving, selecting, quality assurance, and outbound transportation are recorded in Operating expenses. Outbound shipping and handling costs, including allocated employee benefit expenses that are recorded in Operating expenses, totaled $ 1,619 million, $ 1,686 million and $ 1,674 million for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 56 Table of Contents 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, contract exit-related costs, share-based compensation acceleration charges and acquisition and integration related expenses, when applicable. Integration related expenses, when incurred, can include certain professional consulting expenses and incremental expenses related to combining facilities required to optimize our distribution network as a result of acquisitions. Loss (Gain) on Sale of Assets and Other Asset Charges Loss (gain) on sale of assets and other asset charges primarily includes (gains) losses on sales of assets, losses on sales of financial assets, and asset impairments. In fiscal 2026, the Company recorded non-cash asset impairment charges related to decisions to close certain retail store locations and discontinue operations at certain distribution centers, warehouses or offsite storage facilities. Additionally, in fiscal 2026, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of a surplus distribution center. In fiscal 2025, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to its Allentown, Pennsylvania, distribution center. In fiscal 2024, the Company recorded impairment charges related to one of its corporate-owned office locations, certain leased and owned distribution centers and certain retail store locations. Refer to Note 5—Property and Equipment, Net and Note 11—Leases for additional information on impairment charges and gains on sales of long-lived assets and Note 3—Revenue Recognition for additional information on losses on sales of financial assets. 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. 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, the Company had net book overdrafts of $ 228 million and $ 267 million, respectively. Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable, net primarily consist of trade receivables from customers and net receivable balances from suppliers. In determining the adequacy of the allowances, management analyzes customer creditworthiness, aging of receivables, payment terms, the value of the collateral, customer financial statements, historical collection experience and other economic and industry factors. In instances where a reserve has been recorded for a particular customer, future sales to the customer are conducted using either cash-on-delivery terms, or the account is closely monitored so that as agreed upon payments are received and then orders are released; a failure to pay results in held or canceled orders. 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. 57 Table of Contents During fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, inventory quantities in certain LIFO layers were reduced. These reductions resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 purchases, the effect of which decreased Cost of sales by approximately $ 37 million in fiscal 2026, $ 28 million in fiscal 2025 and $ 15 million in fiscal 2024. As of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, approximately $ 1.7 billion and $ 1.8 billion, respectively, of inventory was valued under the LIFO method, before the application of a LIFO reserve, and primarily included grocery, frozen food and general merchandise products, with the remaining inventory valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) and weighted average cost methods and primarily included meat, dairy and deli products. The LIFO reserve was $ 368 million and $ 349 million as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively, which is recorded within Inventories, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Property and Equipment, Net and Amortizing Intangible Assets Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Property and equipment under finance leases and leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining term of the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Applicable interest charges incurred during the construction of new facilities are capitalized as one of the elements of cost and are amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives if certain criteria are met. Refer to Note 5—Property and Equipment, Net for additional information. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company groups long-lived assets with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. Cash flows expected to be generated by the related assets are estimated over the assets’ useful lives based on updated projections. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable, the potential impairment is measured based on a fair value discounted cash flow model or a market approach method. Refer to Note 5—Property and Equipment, Net and Note 6—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net for additional information regarding the Company’s long-lived asset impairment reviews and other information. Cloud Computing Arrangements The Company enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements for internal use that are accounted for as service contracts. The capitalized implementation costs associated with these cloud computing arrangements are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related cash flows are included within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Once a cloud computing arrangement is ready for its intended use, the capitalized implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related hosting agreement, including renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, and expensed in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as the associated hosting fees. The net book value of these capitalized implementation costs was $ 76 million and $ 52 million as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively. Amortization expense was $ 10 million, $ 8 million and $ 4 million for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A deferred tax asset is recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records liabilities to address uncertain tax positions we have taken in previously filed tax returns or that we expect to take in a future tax return. The determination for required liabilities is based upon an analysis of each individual tax position, taking into consideration whether it is more likely than not that our tax position, based on technical merits, will be sustained upon examination. For those positions for which we conclude it is more likely than not it will be sustained, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The difference between the amount recognized and the total tax position is recorded as a liability. The ultimate resolution of these tax positions may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded. 58 Table of Contents The Company allocates tax expense among specific financial statement components using a “with-or-without” approach. Under this approach, the Company first determines the total tax expense or benefit (current and deferred) for the period. The Company then calculates the tax effect of pretax income. The residual tax expense is allocated on a proportional basis to other financial statement components (i.e. other comprehensive income). Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the acquisition date at their respective estimated fair values. Goodwill represents the excess acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is assigned to the reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination that generated the goodwill. Goodwill reporting units exist at one level below the operating segment level unless they are determined to be economically similar, and are evaluated for events or changes in circumstances indicating a goodwill reporting unit has changed. Relative fair value allocations are performed when components of an aggregated goodwill reporting unit become separate reporting units or move from one reporting unit to another. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter and more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that the value of the reporting unit may be impaired. The Company performs qualitative assessments of Goodwill for impairment. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than the carrying value, or the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment would be performed. When a quantitative assessment is required, the Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units by using the market approach, applying a multiple of earnings based on guidelines for publicly traded companies, and/or the income approach, discounting projected future cash flows based on management’s expectations of the current and future operating environment for each reporting unit. Refer to Note 6—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net for additional information regarding the Company’s goodwill impairment reviews and other information. Indefinite-lived intangible assets include the Tony’s Fine Foods tradename. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter and more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate that the value of the asset may be impaired. When a quantitative assessment is required, the Company estimates the fair value for intangible assets utilizing the income approach, which discounts the projected future net cash flow using an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risks associated with such projected future cash flow. Refer to Note 6—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net for additional information regarding the Company’s intangible assets impairment reviews and other information. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the following years: Customer relationships 10 - 20 years Trademarks and tradenames 2 - 10 years Favorable operating leases 2 - 8 years Pharmacy prescription files 7 years Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized on a non-recurring basis, are recognized or disclosed at fair value on at least an annual basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. 59 Table of Contents ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 Inputs—Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data. • Level 3 Inputs—One or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and that reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, and significant management judgment or estimation. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable and certain Accrued expenses and Other assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Share-Based Compensation Share-based compensation consists of time-based restricted share units and performance-based restricted share units. Share-based compensation expense is measured by the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The Company recognizes Share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual grants. Forfeitures are recognized as reductions to Share-based compensation when they occur. The grant date closing price per share of the Company’s stock is used to determine the fair value of restricted share units. The Company classifies certain restricted share unit awards that can or will be settled in cash as liability awards. The fair value of liability-classified awards is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and adjustments resulting from remeasurement are recognized in earnings over the requisite service period. The Company’s executive officers and members of senior management have been granted performance units which vest, when and if earned, in accordance with the terms of the related performance unit award agreements. The Company recognizes Share-based compensation expense based on the target number of shares of common stock and the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and subsequently adjusts expense based on actual and forecasted performance compared to planned targets. Share-based compensation expense is recognized within Operating expenses for ongoing employees and in certain instances is recorded within Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses when an employee is notified of termination and their awards become accelerated. Refer to Note 12—Share-Based Awards for additional information. Benefit Plans The Company recognizes the funded status of its Company-sponsored defined benefit plans in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and gains or losses and prior service costs or credits not yet recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company measures its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan obligations as of the nearest calendar month end. The Company records Net periodic benefit income or expense related to interest cost, expected return on plan assets and the amortization of actuarial gains and losses, excluding service costs, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within Net periodic benefit income, excluding service cost. Service costs are recorded in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company sponsors pension and other postretirement plans in various forms covering participants who meet eligibility requirements. The determination of the Company’s obligation and related income or expense for Company-sponsored pension and other postretirement benefits is dependent, in part, on management’s selection of certain actuarial assumptions used in calculating these amounts. These assumptions include, among other things, the discount rate, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the rates of increase in healthcare costs. These assumptions are disclosed in Note 13—Benefit Plans. Actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods. The Company contributes to various multiemployer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements, primarily defined benefit pension plans. Pension expense for these plans is recognized as contributions are funded. In addition, the Company provides postretirement health and welfare benefits for certain groups of union and non-union employees. See Note 13—Benefit Plans for additional information on participation in multiemployer plans. 60 Table of Contents Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adding the dilutive potential common shares to the weighted average number of common shares that were outstanding during the period. For purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation, outstanding stock options, restricted share units and performance-based share awards, if applicable, are considered common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method. Treasury Stock The Company records the repurchase of shares of common stock at cost based on the settlement date of the transaction. These shares are classified as Treasury stock, which is a reduction to Stockholders’ equity. Treasury stock is included in authorized and issued shares but excluded from outstanding shares. On September 3, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program for up to $ 200 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2026 Repurchase Program”). Upon approval of the 2026 Repurchase Program, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the repurchase program authorized in September 2022, which provided for the repurchase of up to $ 200 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2022 Repurchase Program”). Under the 2022 Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 1,245,357 shares of its common stock at an average price of $ 40.15 per share, for a total cost of $ 50 million in fiscal 2026. The Company did no t repurchase any shares of its common stock in fiscal 2025 or 2024. As of August 1, 2026, the Company had $ 88 million remaining authorized under the 2022 Repurchase Program. Refer to Note 9—Long-Term Debt for information on the Company’s credit facilities’ limitations on its ability to repurchase shares of common stock above certain levels unless certain conditions and financial tests are met. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in Stockholders’ equity during the reporting period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) is calculated as Net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests, plus or minus adjustments for foreign currency translation related to the translation of UNFI Canada, Inc. (“UNFI Canada”) from the functional currency of Canadian dollars to U.S. dollar reporting currency, changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges, net of tax, and changes in defined pension and other postretirement benefit plan obligations, net of tax, less comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Accumulated other comprehensive loss represents the cumulative balance of Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, as of the end of the reporting period and relates to foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gains or losses on cash flow hedges, net of tax and changes in defined pension and other postretirement benefit plan obligations, net of tax. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, fuel costs, and with the operation of UNFI Canada, foreign currency exchange rates. All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value based on quoted market prices or estimates, and are recorded in either current or noncurrent assets or liabilities based on their maturity. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in comprehensive income (loss) or net earnings, based on whether the instrument is designated and effective as a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified to earnings in the period the hedged item affects earnings. If the hedged relationship ceases to exist, any associated amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified to earnings at that time. The Company measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis. Self-Insurance Liabilities The Company is primarily self-insured for workers’ compensation, general and automobile liability insurance. It is the Company’s policy to record the self-insured portion of workers’ compensation, general and automobile liabilities based upon actuarial methods to estimate the future cost of claims and related expenses that have been reported but not settled, and that have been incurred but not yet reported, discounted at a risk-free interest rate. The present value of such claims was calculated using a discount rate of 4.0 % and 3.8 % as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively. 61 Table of Contents Changes in the Company’s self-insurance liabilities consisted of the following: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 Beginning balance $ 100 $ 89 $ 97 Expense 58 66 57 Claim payments ( 58 ) ( 65 ) ( 56 ) Reclassifications 6 10 ( 9 ) Ending balance $ 106 $ 100 $ 89 The current portion of the self-insurance liability was $ 38 million and $ 31 million as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively, and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The long-term portions were $ 68 million and $ 69 million as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively, and are included in Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The self-insurance liabilities as of the end of the fiscal year are net of discounts of $ 10 million and $ 9 million as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively. Amounts due from insurance companies were $ 21 million and $ 25 million as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively, and are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets. Leases At the inception or modification of a contract, the Company determines whether a lease exists and classifies its leases as an operating or finance lease at commencement. Subsequent to commencement, lease classification is only reassessed upon a change to the expected lease term or contract modification. Finance and operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset as lessee for the lease term, and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments, net of incentives, over the lease term. Incremental borrowing rates are estimated based on the Company’s borrowing rate as of the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments, when the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Incremental borrowing rates are determined by using the yield curve based on the Company’s credit rating adjusted for the Company’s specific debt profile and secured debt risk. The lease asset also reflects any prepaid rent, initial direct costs incurred and lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms include optional extension periods when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For certain classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected to not separate fixed lease components from the fixed nonlease components. The Company recognizes contractual obligations and receipts on a gross basis, such that the related lease obligation to the landlord is presented separately from the sublease created by the lease assignment to the assignee. As a result, the Company continues to recognize on its Consolidated Balance Sheets the operating lease assets and liabilities, and finance lease assets and obligations, for assigned leases. The Company records operating lease expense and income using the straight-line method within Operating expenses, and lease income on a straight-line method for leases with its customers within Net sales. Finance lease expense is recognized as amortization expense within Operating expenses, and interest expense within Interest expense, net. For operating leases with step rent provisions whereby the rental payments increase over the life of the lease, and for leases with rent-free periods, the Company recognizes expense and income on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, based on the total minimum lease payments to be made or lease receipts expected to be received. The Company is generally obligated for property tax, insurance and maintenance expenses related to leased properties, which often represent variable lease expenses. For contractual obligations on properties where the Company remains the primary obligor upon assignment of the lease and does not obtain a release from landlords or retain the equity interests in the legal entities with the related rent contracts, the Company continues to recognize rent expense and rent income within Operating expenses. Operating and finance lease assets are reviewed for impairment based on an ongoing review of circumstances that indicate the assets may no longer be recoverable, such as closures of retail stores, distribution centers and other properties that are no longer being utilized in current operations, and other factors. The Company calculates operating and finance lease impairments using a discount rate to calculate the present value of estimated subtenant rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property. Lease impairment charges for properties no longer used in operations are recorded as a component of Loss (gain) on sale of assets and other asset charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 62 Table of Contents The calculation of lease impairment charges requires significant judgments and estimates, including estimated subtenant rentals, discount rates and future cash flows based on the Company’s experience and knowledge of the market in which the property is located, previous efforts to dispose of similar assets and the assessment of existing market conditions. Impairments are recognized as a reduction of the carrying value of the right of use asset and finance lease assets. Refer to Note 11—Leases for additional information. For transactions in which an owned property is sold and leased back from the buyer, the Company recognizes a sale, and lease accounting is applied if the Company has transferred control of the property to the buyer. For such transactions, the Company removes the transferred assets from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and a gain or loss on the sale is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the fair value of the transaction as of the transaction date. If control of the underlying asset is not transferred, the Company does not recognize an asset sale and recognizes a financing lease liability for consideration received. NOTE 2—RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 on a retrospective basis, which resulted in additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 14—Income Taxes for additional information. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 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 . ASU 2025-06 removes all references to project stages, defines the threshold to begin capitalizing costs, and clarifies the disclosure requirements of capitalized software costs. 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 reviewing the provisions of the amendments in this update and evaluating their impact on the Company’s 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. 63 Table of Contents NOTE 3—REVENUE RECOGNITION Product sales The Company enters into wholesale customer distribution agreements that provide terms and conditions of our order fulfillment. The Company’s distribution agreements often specify levels of required minimum purchases in order to earn certain rebates or incentives. Certain contracts include rebates and other forms of variable consideration, including consideration payable to the customer up-front, over time or at the end of a contract term. Many of the Company’s contracts with customers outline various other promises to be performed in conjunction with the sale of product. The Company determined that these promises provided are immaterial within the overall context of the respective contract, and as such has not allocated the transaction price to these obligations. In transactions for goods or services where the Company engages third parties to participate in its order fulfillment process, it evaluates whether it is the principal or an agent in the transaction. The Company’s analysis considers whether it controls the goods or services before they are transferred to its customer, including an evaluation of whether the Company has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from, the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. Agent transactions primarily reflect circumstances where the Company is not involved in order fulfillment or where it is involved in the order fulfillment but is not contractually obligated to purchase the related goods or services from vendors, and instead extends wholesale customers credit by paying vendor trade accounts payable and does not control products prior to their sale. Under ASC 606, if the Company determines that it is acting in an agent capacity, transactions are recorded on a net basis. If the Company determines that it is acting in a principal capacity, transactions are recorded on a gross basis. The Company also evaluates vendor sales incentives to determine whether they reduce the transaction price with its customers. The Company’s analysis considers which party tenders the incentive, whether the incentive reflects a direct reimbursement from a vendor, whether the incentive is influenced by or negotiated in conjunction with any other incentive arrangements and whether the incentive is subject to an agency relationship with the vendor, whether expressed or implied. Typically, when vendor incentives are offered directly by vendors to the Company’s customers, require the achievement of vendor-specified requirements to be earned by customers, and are not negotiated by the Company or in conjunction with any other incentive agreement whereby the Company does not control the direction or earning of these incentives, then Net sales are not reduced as part of the Company’s determination of the transaction price. In circumstances where the vendors provide the Company consideration to promote the sale of their goods and the Company determines the specific performance requirements for its customers to earn these incentives, Net sales and Cost of sales are reduced for these customer incentives as part of the determination of the transaction price. Certain customer agreements provide for the right to license one or more of the Company’s tradenames, such as FESTIVAL FOODS®, SENTRY®, COUNTY MARKET®, FOODLAND®, and SUPERVALU®. In addition, the Company enters into franchise agreements to separately charge its customers, who the Company also sells wholesale products to, for the right to use its CUB® tradename. The Company typically does not separately charge for the right to license its tradenames. The Company believes that these tradenames are capable of being distinct, but are not distinct within the context of the contracts with its customers. Accordingly, the Company does not separately recognize revenue related to tradenames utilized by its customers. Through June 2026, the Company entered into distribution agreements with manufacturers to provide wholesale supplies to the Defense Commissary Agency (“DeCA”) and other government agency locations. Under these arrangements, DeCA contracted with manufacturers to obtain grocery products for the commissary system and the Company was authorized by manufacturers to distribute products to the commissaries. The Company supplied product from its inventory, delivered it to the DeCA designated location and billed the manufacturer for the product price plus a drayage fee, after which the manufacturer billed DeCA under the terms of its master contract. For these arrangements, the Company determined that it controlled the goods before transfer to the customer, and as such acted as the principal in the transaction. Accordingly, revenue was recognized on a gross basis when control of the product passed to the DeCA designated location. The Company no longer enters into these arrangements. 64 Table of Contents Customer incentives The Company provides incentives to its wholesale customers in various forms established under the applicable agreement, including advances, payments over time that are earned by achieving specified purchasing thresholds, and upon the passage of time. The Company typically records customer advances within Other long-term assets and Prepaid expenses and other current assets and typically recognizes customer incentive payments that are based on expected purchases over the term of the agreement as a reduction to Net sales. To the extent that the transaction price for product sales includes variable consideration, such as certain of these customer incentives, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price primarily by utilizing the expected value method. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the agreement will not occur. The Company believes that there will not be significant changes to its estimates of variable consideration, as the uncertainty will be resolved within a relatively short time and there is a significant amount of historical data that is used in the estimation of the amount of variable consideration to be received. Therefore, the Company has not constrained its estimates of variable consideration. Customer incentive assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances exist for which the Company no longer expects to recover the applicable customer incentives. Professional services and equipment sales Separate from the services provided in conjunction with the sale of products described above, many of the Company’s agreements with customers also include distinct professional services and other promises to customers, in addition to the sale of the product itself, such as retail store support, advertising, store layout and design services, merchandising support, couponing, eCommerce, network and data hosting solutions, training and certifications classes, and administrative back-office solutions. These professional services may contain a single performance obligation for each respective service, in which case such services revenues are recognized when delivered. Revenues from professional services are less than 1 % of total Net sales. Wholesale equipment sales are recorded as direct sales to customers when control is transferred, which is typically upon delivery, consistent with the recognition of product sales. Disaggregation of Revenues 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 16—Business Segments for Net sales by reportable segment. Sales to one customer in the Natural segment, which includes customers under common control, accounted for approximately 28 %, 25 % and 23 % of the Company’s net sales for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were no other customers that individually generated 10% or more of the Company’s net sales during those periods. 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. Contract Balances The Company typically does not incur costs that are required to be capitalized in connection with obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company typically does not have any performance obligations to deliver products under its contracts until its customers submit a purchase order, as it stands ready to deliver product upon receipt of a purchase order under contracts with its customers. These performance obligations are generally satisfied within a very short period of time. Therefore, the Company has utilized the practical expedient that provides an exemption from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. The Company does not typically receive pre-payments from its customers. 65 Table of Contents Customer payments are due when control of goods or services are transferred to the customer and are typically not conditional on anything other than payment terms, which typically are less than 30 days. Since no significant financing components exist between the period of time the Company transfers goods or services to the customer and when it receives payment for those goods or services, the Company generally does not adjust the transaction price to recognize a financing component. Customer incentives are not considered contract assets as they are not generated through the transfer of goods or services to the customers. No material contract asset or liability exists for any period reported within these Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounts and Notes Receivable Balances Accounts and notes receivable are as follows: (in millions) August 1, 2026 August 2, 2025 Customer accounts receivable $ 889 $ 1,062 Allowance for uncollectible receivables ( 38 ) ( 37 ) Other receivables, net 70 68 Accounts receivable, net $ 921 $ 1,093 Notes receivable, net, included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 2 $ 2 Long-term notes receivable, net, included within Other long-term assets $ 13 $ 7 The allowance for uncollectible receivables, and estimated variable consideration allowed for as sales concessions consists of the following: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 Balance at beginning of year $ 37 $ 21 $ 17 Provision for losses in Operating expenses 18 14 9 Reductions (increases) to Net sales 11 14 ( 2 ) Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 28 ) ( 12 ) ( 3 ) Balance at end of year $ 38 $ 37 $ 21 In fiscal 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell, on a revolving basis, certain customer accounts receivable to a third-party financial institution. After these sales, the Company does not retain any interest in the receivables. The Company’s continuing involvement in transferred receivables is limited to servicing the receivables. As of the end of fiscal 2026, the agreement allows for the Company to sell up to a maximum amount of $ 500 million of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable that the Company is servicing on behalf of the financial institution, which would have otherwise been outstanding as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, was approximately $ 385 million and $ 380 million, respectively. Net proceeds received are included within cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The loss on sale of receivables was $ 17 million and $ 19 million for fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, respectively, and is recorded within Loss (gain) on sale of assets and other asset charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. NOTE 4—RESTRUCTURING, ACQUISITION AND INTEGRATION RELATED EXPENSES The Company’s restructuring initiatives include optimization of its distribution center network, cost structure and retail footprint. The Company is unable to estimate the total amount of costs expected to be incurred in connection with the restructuring activities given their nature, including the consideration of multiple scenarios for the disposal of non-operating real estate. The Company did not incur any acquisition or integration related expenses in any of the periods presented. Restructuring expenses were as follows: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 Severance and other labor-related costs 24 30 30 Closed property charges and costs, net 28 11 6 Contract termination charges and costs $ — $ 53 $ — Total Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses $ 52 $ 94 $ 36 66 Table of Contents Severance and Other Labor-Related Costs Restructuring costs for fiscal 2026 primarily include costs associated with certain employee severance and other employee separation costs related to the Company’s strategic initiatives focused on optimizing our cost structure and better aligning corporate resources, strategic retail store closures and distribution network optimization and adjustments to previously recorded multiemployer pension plan withdrawal liabilities.

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

On June 18, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Fifth Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement that, among other changes, repriced the Term Loan Facility, reducing the applicable margin over SOFR from 4.75 % to 4.00 %. The Company incurred an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment, which was recorded within Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. Under the Term Loan Agreement, the Company may, at its option, increase the amount of the Term Loan Facility or add one or more additional tranches of term loans or revolving credit commitments, without the consent of any lenders not participating in such additional borrowings, up to an aggregate amount of $ 702 million plus additional amounts based on satisfaction of certain leverage ratio tests, subject to certain customary conditions and applicable lenders committing to provide the additional funding. There can be no assurance that additional funding would be available. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by most of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, 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.

The terms of each stock-based award are determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee at the time of grant and in accordance with the Company’s equity grant and settlement policy. As of August 1, 2026, the Company had 2.1 million shares authorized and available for grant under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. Share-Based Compensation Expense The following table presents information regarding share-based compensation expenses and the related tax impacts: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 Restricted share unit awards (1) $ 41 $ 33 $ 33 Performance-based share awards 20 10 4 Share-based compensation expense recorded in Operating expenses 61 43 37 Income tax benefit ( 17 ) ( 12 ) ( 10 ) Share-based compensation expense, net of tax $ 44 $ 31 $ 27 Share-based compensation expense recorded in Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses $ — $ — $ 2 Income tax benefit — — ( 1 ) Share-based compensation expense recorded in Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses, net of tax $ — $ — $ 1 (1) Includes liability-classified awards of $ 14 million and equity-classified awards of $ 27 million for fiscal 2026, and liability-classified awards of $ 6 million and equity-classified awards of $ 27 million for fiscal 2025. Amounts recorded in fiscal 2024 are derived entirely from equity-classified awards. Vesting requirements for awards are at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee thereof. Time-based vesting RSUs issued to employees typically vest in three equal annual installments. Time-based vesting RSUs issued to non-employee directors have a minimum one-year vesting period. PSUs typically have a three-year cliff vest, subject to achievement of the performance objectives. As of August 1, 2026, there was $ 97 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based compensation arrangements (including RSUs and PSUs). This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs are determined based on the number of units granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. RSUs include liability-classified awards granted during fiscal 2025, that can or will be settled in cash. Liability-classified awards are remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The Company had liabilities for cash-settled share-based compensation awards of $ 14 million as of August 1, 2026, of which the entire amount was classified as current. The Company had liabilities for cash-settled share-based compensation awards of $ 6 million as of August 2, 2025, of which the entire amount was classified as current. Cash paid to settle liability-classified awards was $ 10 million, $ 0 million and $ 0 million for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 79 Table of Contents The following summary presents information regarding RSUs and PSUs: Equity-Classified Liability-Classified Number of Shares (in millions) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Number of Shares (in millions) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding at July 29, 2023 3.2 $ 32.11 — $ — Granted 3.7 15.99 — — Vested ( 1.5 ) 14.56 — — Forfeited/Canceled ( 0.8 ) 10.42 — Outstanding at August 3, 2024 4.6 22.66 — — Granted 1.2 26.26 0.9 26.18 Vested ( 1.6 ) 23.70 — 26.59 Forfeited/Canceled ( 0.5 ) 20.02 ( 0.1 ) 27.32 Outstanding at August 2, 2025 3.7 21.83 0.8 27.01 Granted 1.8 33.43 — 40.04 Vested ( 1.4 ) 30.44 ( 0.3 ) 34.36 Forfeited/Canceled ( 0.3 ) 39.69 ( 0.1 ) 37.59 Outstanding at August 1, 2026 3.8 $ 26.26 0.4 $ 45.30 (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 Intrinsic value of restricted share units vested $ 59 $ 37 $ 22 Performance-Based Share Unit Awards During fiscal 2026, the Company granted 0.5 million equity-classified PSUs, included in the granted number in the above table, to its executives and other senior leaders (subject to the issuance of up to 0.5 million additional shares if the Company’s performance exceeds specified targeted levels) with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $ 34.86 .

Based on performance through the performance period ended August 1, 2026, 1.2 million shares underlying PSUs have been earned and will be issued in fiscal 2027. 80 Table of Contents NOTE 13—BENEFIT PLANS The Company’s employees who participate are covered by various contributory and non-contributory pension, 401(k) plans, and other health and welfare benefits. The Company’s primary defined benefit pension plans are the SUPERVALU INC. Retirement Plan and certain supplemental executive retirement plans. All of these plans are closed to new participants. Service crediting in the SUPERVALU INC. Retirement Plan ended for all participants as of December 31, 2007, and pay increases were reflected in the amount of benefits accrued in this plan until December 31, 2012. Approximately 56 % of the 11,341 union employees participate in multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under collective bargaining agreements. The remaining either participate in plans sponsored by the Company or are not currently eligible to participate in a retirement plan. In addition to sponsoring both defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, the Company provides healthcare and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees under postretirement benefit plans. The Company also provides certain health and welfare benefits, including short-term and long-term disability benefits, to inactive disabled employees prior to retirement. The terms of the postretirement benefit plans vary based on employment history, age and date of retirement. For many retirees, the Company provides a fixed dollar contribution and retirees pay contributions to fund the remaining cost. Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans For the defined benefit pension plans, the accumulated benefit obligation is equal to the projected benefit obligation. The benefit obligation, fair value of plan assets and funded status of our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans consisted of the following: 2026 2025 (in millions) Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits Changes in Benefit Obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 1,418 $ 10 $ 1,505 $ 11 Actuarial gain ( 42 ) ( 1 ) ( 50 ) ( 1 ) Benefits paid ( 108 ) ( 1 ) ( 107 ) ( 1 ) Interest cost 67 1 70 1 Benefit obligation at end of year 1,335 9 1,418 10 Changes in Plan Assets Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 1,476 — 1,534 — Actual return on plan assets 45 — 48 — Benefits paid ( 108 ) ( 1 ) ( 107 ) ( 1 ) Employer contributions 1 1 1 1 Fair value of plan assets at end of year 1,414 — 1,476 — Funded (unfunded) status at end of year $ 79 $ ( 9 ) $ 58 $ ( 10 ) The actuarial gain on projected pension benefit obligations in fiscal 2026 was primarily the result of a 44 -basis point increase in the discount rate on the SUPERVALU INC. Retirement Plan. The actuarial gain on projected pension benefit obligations in fiscal 2025 was primarily the result of a 28 -basis point increase in the discount rate on the SUPERVALU INC. Retirement Plan . 81 Table of Contents The funded status of our pension benefits contains plans with individually funded and underfunded statuses. Our other postretirement benefits consist of one plan as shown above. The following table provides the funded status of individual projected pension benefit plan obligations and the fair value of plan assets for these plans: (in millions) SUPERVALU INC.

These assumptions are weighted by the actual or target allocation to each underlying asset class represented in the pension plan master trust. The Company also assesses the expected long-term return on plan assets assumption by comparison to long-term historical performance on an asset class basis to ensure the assumption is reasonable. Long-term trends are also evaluated relative to market factors such as inflation, interest rates, and fiscal and monetary policies in order to assess the capital market assumptions. The Company reviews and selects the discount rate to be used in connection with measuring its pension and other postretirement benefit obligations annually. In determining the discount rate, the Company uses the yield on corporate bonds (rated AA or better) that coincides with the cash flows of the plans’ estimated benefit payouts. The model uses a yield curve approach to discount each cash flow of the liability stream at an interest rate specifically applicable to the timing of each respective cash flow. The model totals the present values of all cash flows and calculates the equivalent weighted average discount rate by imputing the singular interest rate that equates the total present value with the stream of future cash flows. This resulting weighted average discount rate is then used in evaluating the final discount rate to be used. For those retirees whose health plans provide for variable employer contributions, the assumed healthcare cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation before age 65 was 8.10 % as of August 1, 2026. The assumed healthcare cost trend rate for retirees before age 65 will decrease each year through fiscal 2035, until it reaches the ultimate trend rate of 4.50 %. For those retirees whose health plans provide for variable employer contributions, the assumed healthcare cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation after age 65 was 6.40 % as of August 1, 2026. Pension Plan Assets Pension plan assets are held in a master trust and invested in separately managed accounts and commingled investment vehicles holding fixed income securities, domestic equity securities, private equity securities, international equity securities and real estate securities. The Company employs a liability hedging approach, targeting a level of risk commensurate with keeping pace with the long-term cost of funding plan liabilities. Risk is managed through diversification across asset classes, multiple investment manager portfolios and both general and portfolio-specific investment guidelines. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of the plan liabilities, plan funded status and the Company’s financial condition. This asset allocation policy mix is reviewed annually and actual versus target allocations are monitored regularly and rebalanced on an as-needed basis. Plan assets are invested using a combination of active and passive investment strategies. Passive, or “indexed” strategies, attempt to mimic rather than exceed the investment performance of a market benchmark. The plan’s active investment strategies employ multiple investment management firms. Managers within each asset class cover a range of investment styles and approaches and are combined in a way that controls for capitalization, and style biases (equities) and interest rate exposures (fixed income) versus benchmark indices. Monitoring activities to evaluate performance against targets and measure investment risk take place on an ongoing basis through annual liability measurements, periodic asset/liability studies and quarterly investment portfolio reviews. 83 Table of Contents The asset allocation targets and the actual allocation of pension plan assets are as follows: Asset Category Target 2026 2025 Fixed income 85.0 % 84.8 % 84.9 % Domestic equity 6.9 % 5.2 % 6.9 % Private equity 2.0 % 2.0 % 2.5 % International equity 4.1 % 6.5 % 4.1 % Real estate 2.0 % 1.5 % 1.6 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments measured at fair value: Common stock - Valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded. Common collective trusts - Investments in common/collective trust funds are stated at net asset value (“NAV”) as determined by the issuer of the common/collective trust funds and is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. The majority of the common/collective trust funds have a readily determinable fair value and are classified as Level 2. Other investments in common/collective trust funds determine NAV on a less frequent basis and/or have redemption restrictions. For these investments, NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. Corporate bonds - Valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. When quoted prices are not available for identical or similar bonds, the fair value is based upon an industry valuation model, which maximizes observable inputs. Government securities - Certain government securities are valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or other observable market inputs, including benchmark yields and matrix pricing methodologies. Mortgage backed securities - Valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. When quoted prices are not available for identical or similar securities, the fair value is based upon an industry valuation model, which maximizes observable inputs. Private equity and real estate partnerships - Valued based on NAV provided by the investment manager, updated for any subsequent partnership interests’ cash flows or expected changes in fair value. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. Other - Consists primarily of U.S. Treasury securities valued at the closing price reported in active markets for identical securities, options, futures, and money market investments priced at $1 per unit. The valuation methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement. 84 Table of Contents The fair value of assets held in the master trust for defined benefit pension plans as of August 1, 2026, by asset category, consisted of the following: (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Measured at NAV as a Practical Expedient Total Common stock $ 49 $ — $ — $ — $ 49 Common collective trusts — 513 — — 513 Corporate bonds — 557 — — 557 Government securities — 130 — — 130 Mortgage-backed securities — 25 — — 25 Private equity and real estate partnerships — — — 52 52 Other 86 2 — — 88 Total plan assets at fair value $ 135 $ 1,227 $ — $ 52 $ 1,414 The fair value of assets held in the master trust for defined benefit pension plans as of August 2, 2025, by asset category, consisted of the following: (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Measured at NAV as a Practical Expedient Total Common stock $ 49 $ — $ — $ — $ 49 Common collective trusts — 523 — — 523 Corporate bonds — 573 — — 573 Government securities — 148 — — 148 Mortgage-backed securities — 25 — — 25 Private equity and real estate partnerships — — — 60 60 Other 94 4 — — 98 Total plan assets at fair value $ 143 $ 1,273 $ — $ 60 $ 1,476 Contributions No cash pension contributions were required to be made to the SUPERVALU INC. Retirement Plan under the minimum funding requirements of 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 2027. The Company funds its defined benefit pension plans based on the minimum contribution required under the Internal Revenue Code, ERISA, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and other applicable laws, as determined by our external actuarial consultant, and additional contributions made at its discretion. The Company 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. The Company assesses the relative attractiveness of the use of cash 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 the ability to achieve exemption from participant notices of underfunding. 85 Table of Contents Estimated Future Benefit Payments The estimated future benefit payments to be made from our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, which reflect expected future service, are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits 2027 $ 115 $ 1 2028 115 1 2029 115 1 2030 114 1 2031 113 1 Years 2032-2036 539 4 Defined Contribution Plan The Company sponsors a defined contribution and profit sharing plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees may contribute a portion of their eligible compensation to the plan on a pre-tax or after-tax Roth basis. The Company matches a portion of certain employee contributions by contributing cash into the investment options selected by the employees. The total amount contributed by the Company to the plan is determined by plan provisions or at the Company’s discretion. Total employer contribution expenses for this plan were $ 29 million, $ 31 million and $ 30 million for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Post-Employment Benefits The Company recognizes an obligation for benefits provided to former or inactive employees. The Company is self-insured for certain disability plan programs, which comprise the primary benefits paid to inactive employees prior to retirement. As of August 1, 2026 there was $ 3 million of Accrued compensation and benefits and $ 1 million of Other long-term liabilities recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of August 2, 2025 there was $ 3 million of Accrued compensation and benefits and $ 1 million of Other long-term liabilities. Multiemployer Pension Plans The Company contributes 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 are typically 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 the unions that are parties to the relevant collective bargaining agreements. Expense is recognized in connection with these plans as contributions are funded, in accordance with GAAP. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from the risks associated with single-employer plans in the following respects: • Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer are held in trust and may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. • If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. • If the Company chose to stop participating in some multiemployer plans, or to make market exits or closures or otherwise have participation in the plan drop below certain levels, it may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. 86 Table of Contents The Company’s participation in these plans is outlined in the table below. The EIN-Pension Plan Number column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number, if applicable. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act (“PPA”) zone status relates to the plans’ most recent fiscal year-end for which information is available. The zone status is based on information that we received from the plan or that the plan otherwise makes available and is annually certified by each plan’s actuary. Among other factors, deep red zone status or critical and declining plans are generally less than 65 % funded and are projected to become insolvent within 15 to 20 years, red zone status plans are generally less than 65 % funded and are considered in critical status, yellow zone status plans are less than 80 % funded and are considered in endangered or seriously endangered status, and green zone plans are at least 80 % funded. The FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented column indicates plans for which a funding improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) is either pending or has been implemented by the trustees of each plan. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) established the Special Financial Assistance (“SFA”) Program to permit financially troubled multiemployer plans to apply to receive a cash payment intended to keep plans solvent and able to pay benefits through 2051. As of August 1, 2026, three plans to which the Company contributes have received SFA. Certain plans have been aggregated in the All Other Multiemployer Pension Plans line in the following table, as the contributions to each of these plans are not individually material. The collective bargaining agreements specify the contribution rates per unit to these plans and do not specify a minimum dollar amount. At the date the financial statements were issued, Form 5500 for these plans were generally not available for the plan years ending in 2025.

(2) These collective bargaining agreements have been extended. As of August 1, 2026, accrued multiemployer pension plan withdrawal liabilities included in Other long-term liabilities and Accrued compensation and benefits were $ 68 million and $ 6 million, respectively, for 14 multiemployer plans. As of August 2, 2025 amounts included in Other long-term liabilities and Accrued compensation and benefits were $ 61 million and $ 6 million, respectively. Payments associated with these liabilities are required to be made over varying time periods, but principally over the next 20 years. Multiemployer Benefit Plans Other than Pensions The Company also makes contributions to multiemployer health and welfare plans in amounts set forth in the related collective bargaining agreements. These plans provide medical, dental, pharmacy, vision and other ancillary benefits to active employees and retirees as determined by the trustees of each plan. The vast majority of the Company’s contributions benefit active employees and as such, may not constitute contributions to a postretirement benefit plan. With respect to most multiemployer health and welfare plans to which the Company contributes, contribution amounts to postretirement benefit plans are not able to be separated from contribution amounts paid to benefit active employees. The Company contributed $ 104 million, $ 90 million and $ 88 million in fiscal 2026, fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively, to multiemployer health and welfare plans. If healthcare provisions within these plans cannot be renegotiated in a manner that reduces the prospective healthcare cost as we intend, our Operating expenses could increase in the future. Collective Bargaining Agreements As of August 1, 2026, we had 23,431 full and part-time employees, 11,341 of whom were covered by 64 collective bargaining agreements, including existing agreements under negotiation. During fiscal 2026, eight collective bargaining agreements covering 1,956 employees were renegotiated, including five collective bargaining covering 1,244 employees that have tentative agreements in place, pending ratification. During fiscal 2026, four collective bargaining agreements covering 853 employees expired without their terms being renegotiated. Extensions are in place, and negotiations are expected to continue with the bargaining units representing the employees subject to those agreements. Additionally, seven new collective bargaining agreements covering 1,328 employees were negotiated. During fiscal 2027, 24 collective bargaining agreements covering 2,424 employees are scheduled to expire. 88 Table of Contents NOTE 14—INCOME TAXES Income Tax Expense (Benefit) The domestic and foreign components of income (loss) before income taxes were as follows: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 U.S. operations $ 90 $ ( 163 ) $ ( 145 ) Foreign operations 12 9 8 Total $ 102 $ ( 154 ) $ ( 137 ) The income tax expense (benefit) was allocated as follows: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 Income tax expense (benefit) $ 18 $ ( 39 ) $ ( 27 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) 2 2 ( 6 ) Total $ 20 $ ( 37 ) $ ( 33 ) Total income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 Current: U.S. Federal $ ( 14 ) $ 11 $ 15 State and Local 2 3 5 Foreign 3 3 2 Total current ( 9 ) 17 22 Deferred: U.S. Federal 17 ( 42 ) ( 41 ) State and Local 10 ( 14 ) ( 8 ) Foreign — — — Total deferred 27 ( 56 ) ( 49 ) Total $ 18 $ ( 39 ) $ ( 27 ) As a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-09, certain items in the effective tax rate reconciliation have been reclassified between categories to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on any individual line items or the overall effective income tax rate. The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the U.S. federal income tax rate to the Company’s income tax provision for the fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024 is as follows: 2026 2025 2024 (in millions, except percentages) Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent U.S. federal statutory income tax rate $ 22 21.0 % $ ( 32 ) 21.0 % $ ( 29 ) 21.0 % State and local income tax, net of federal income tax effect (1) 10 9.9 ( 8 ) 4.9 ( 4 ) 2.9 Tax credits (2) ( 10 ) ( 9.3 ) ( 4 ) 2.5 ( 4 ) 2.5 Changes in valuation allowances — — 5 ( 3.4 ) 2 ( 1.9 ) Nontaxable or nondeductible items: Compensation related items (3) ( 3 ) ( 2.6 ) 2 ( 1.8 ) 5 ( 3.3 ) Changes in unrecognized tax benefits ( 6 ) ( 6.3 ) — — — — Other adjustments (4) 5 4.9 ( 2 ) 2.1 3 ( 1.5 ) Effective income tax rate $ 18 17.6 % $ ( 39 ) 25.3 % $ ( 27 ) 19.7 % (1) For fiscal 2026, state taxes in Virginia, California, and Pennsylvania contributed to the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category. For fiscal 2025, state taxes in California, Maryland and Minnesota contributed to the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category. For fiscal 2024, state taxes in California and Minnesota contributed to the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category. 89 Table of Contents (2) Reflects all tax credits reportable as general business credits and includes investment, research and development, and employment tax credits. (3) This category includes the impact of share-based compensation as well as other nontaxable and nondeductible compensation items. (4) Foreign tax effects on the effective rate are included in Other adjustments due to immateriality for all periods presented and relate to Canada. Cash Payments (Refunds) for Income Taxes, Net Total cash payments, net of refunds received, for income taxes consisted of the following: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 U.S. Federal $ — $ — $ ( 1 ) State and Local: California 2 * ( 2 ) Illinois * 1 ( 9 ) Maryland ( 1 ) * * Minnesota 1 ( 4 ) * New York * 1 * Pennsylvania * 1 ( 3 ) Virginia — * ( 1 ) Other state and local (1) 3 1 1 Foreign (2) 2 4 1 Total $ 7 $ 4 $ ( 14 ) * The amount of income taxes paid during the year does not meet the 5% disaggregation threshold.

For fiscal 2025, income taxes paid to the following jurisdictions meet the 5% disaggregation threshold but are included in Other state and local taxes due to rounding: Florida, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York City, and Texas. (2) Foreign cash taxes relate to Canada for all periods presented. Uncertain Tax Positions A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: (in millions) 2026 2025 2024 Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of period $ 8 $ 7 $ 11 Unrecognized tax benefits added during the period — 2 1 Decreases in unrecognized tax benefits due to statute expiration ( 1 ) — ( 3 ) Decreases in unrecognized tax benefits from a prior period ( 5 ) — — Decreases in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements — ( 1 ) ( 2 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at end of period $ 2 $ 8 $ 7 In addition, the Company has no thing paid on deposit to any governmental agencies to cover the above liability. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. For fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, total accrued interest and penalties was $ 1 million, $ 2 million and $ 2 million, respectively. The Company is currently under examination in several taxing jurisdictions and remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for the respective taxing jurisdiction or an agreement is reached between the taxing jurisdiction and the Company. As of August 1, 2026, the Company is no longer subject to comprehensive federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2021 and in most states is no longer subject to state income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2021. 90 Table of Contents Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the net deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025 are presented below: (in millions) August 1, 2026 August 2, 2025 Deferred tax assets: Compensation and benefits related $ 28 $ 33 Accounts receivable, principally due to allowances for uncollectible accounts 9 9 Accrued expenses 26 39 Capitalized research and development 47 56 Net operating loss carryforwards 18 18 Other tax carryforwards 123 107 Foreign tax credits 1 1 Intangible assets 28 37 Lease liabilities 387 414 Interest rate swap agreements — 1 Other deferred tax assets 7 3 Total gross deferred tax assets 674 718 Less valuation allowance ( 20 ) ( 17 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 654 $ 701 Deferred tax liabilities: Plant and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation $ 119 $ 126 Inventories 22 25 Lease right of use assets 353 388 Interest rate swap agreements 2 — Total deferred tax liabilities 496 539 Net deferred tax assets $ 158 $ 162 Tax Credits and Valuation Allowances At August 1, 2026, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $ 674 million. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. In making this evaluation, the Company considers the statutory recovery periods for the assets, along with available sources of future taxable income, including reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies, history of taxable income, and projections of future income. The Company gives more significance to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the existence of deferred tax liabilities that are forecast to generate taxable income within the relevant carryover periods, and a history of earnings. A valuation allowance is provided when the Company concludes, based on all available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized during the applicable recovery period. The Company has reviewed these factors in evaluating the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. As of August 1, 2026, the Company anticipates sufficient future taxable income to realize all of its deferred tax assets within the applicable recovery periods with the exception of certain foreign tax credits, charitable contribution carryovers and state net operating losses. Accordingly, the Company has established valuation allowances against that portion of its charitable contribution carryovers, state net operating losses and foreign tax credits that, in the Company’s judgment, are not likely to be realized within the applicable recovery periods. At August 1, 2026, the Company had gross disallowed charitable contribution carryforwards of approximately $ 97 million that are available for carryforward over five years. As of August 1, 2026, the Company anticipates sufficient future taxable income to utilize $ 58 million of these gross charitable contribution carryovers within the applicable five-year carryforward periods. The Company has established a valuation allowance against the gross $ 39 million of charitable contribution carryovers that, in the Company’s judgment, are not likely to be realized within the applicable recovery period. 91 Table of Contents The retained earnings of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary were subject to deemed U.S. repatriation and taxation during fiscal 2017 pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and existing foreign tax credits were utilized to offset the resulting liability. We have established a deferred tax asset for the remaining U.S. foreign tax credits of $ 1 million. Such credits are offset by a valuation allowance. NOTE 15—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted number of shares used in computing earnings (loss) per share: (in millions, except per share data) 2026 2025 2024 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 60.7 60.2 59.3 Net effect of dilutive stock awards based upon the treasury stock method 2.1 — — Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 62.8 60.2 59.3 Basic earnings (loss) per share (1) $ 1.39 $ ( 1.95 ) $ ( 1.89 ) Diluted earnings (loss) per share (1) $ 1.34 $ ( 1.95 ) $ ( 1.89 ) Anti-dilutive share-based awards excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share — 3.1 2.1 (1) Earnings (loss) per share amounts are calculated using actual unrounded figures. NOTE 16—BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company has three reportable segments: Natural, Conventional and Retail. 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 food 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 food 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, certain enterprise-wide information technology, finance and accounting, corporate legal operations, corporate affairs, human resources, investor relations, treasury, 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. 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. 92 Table of Contents The significant expense categories and amounts presented below align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM, and exclude the same items that are excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA. The following tables provide financial information for each reportable segment, along with a reconciliation to Income (loss) before income taxes: 2026 (in millions) Natural Conventional Retail Total

outstanding guarantees related to certain lease obligations of various retailers as of August 1, 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 eight 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 August 1, 2026, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company would be required to make in the event of default of all guarantees was $ 14 million ($ 11 million on a discounted basis). Based on the indemnification agreements, personal guarantees and results of the reviews of performance risk, as of August 1, 2026, the Company has recorded a de minimis total estimated loss in the 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 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 August 1, 2026, the Company had approximately $ 787 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. The Company has executed the settlement agreements, and all amounts owed related to the settlement have been paid as of August 1, 2026. The settlement notice and administration process is ongoing. 96 Table of Contents 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 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.

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. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company reached an agreement to settle this case for $ 39 million, which will be funded directly by the Company’s insurers to the settlement administrator, and is in the process of finalizing the settlement agreement. The Company has recorded a liability related to this agreement within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and an offsetting receivable for insurance recoveries within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. 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 June 2025 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 August 1, 2026, amounts accrued for these legal proceedings and other loss contingencies 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. 98 Table of Contents ITEM 9.
