Utz Brands, Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Utz Brands, Inc. ("UBI") and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 29, 2024. The balance sheet as of December 29, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 29, 2024. In the opinion of management, such financial information reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or for the full year. The consolidated interim financial statements, including the Company's significant accounting policies, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 29, 2024. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenues primarily consist of the sale of salty snack items to customers, including supermarkets, mass merchants, club stores, dollar and discount stores, convenience stores, independent grocery stores, drug stores, food service, vending, military and other channels. The Company sells its products in most regions of the United States primarily through its direct-store delivery ("DSD") network, direct-to-warehouse shipments and third-party distributors. These revenue contracts generally have a single performance obligation. Revenue, which includes shipping and handling charges billed to the customer, is reported net of variable consideration and consideration payable to customers, including applicable discounts, returns, allowances, trade promotion, consumer coupon redemption, unsaleable product and other costs, some of which are recorded in Selling and distribution in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as accounts receivables and require payment on a short-term basis and, therefore, the Company does not have any significant financing components.
The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the goods to customers. Control is transferred upon delivery of the goods to the customer. Shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs. Applicable shipping and handling costs are included in customer billing and are recorded as revenue as the products’ control is transferred to customers. The Company assesses the goods promised in customer purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good that is distinct.
The Company offers various forms of trade promotions, and the methodologies for determining these promotions are dependent on local customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to provisions based on actual occurrence or performance. The Company’s promotional activities are conducted either through retail trade or directly with consumers and include activities such as in-store displays and events, feature price discounts, consumer coupons and loyalty programs. The costs of these activities are recognized at the time the related revenue is recorded, which normally precedes the actual cash expenditure. The recognition of these costs therefore requires management judgment regarding the volume of promotional offers that will be redeemed by either the retail trade customer or consumer. These estimates are made using various techniques which will include the use of historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. The Company has reserves in place of $ 14.6 million as of June 29, 2025, which included adjustments taken by customers of $ 13.1 million that were awaiting final processing as of such date, and had reserves of $ 20.8 million as of December 29, 2024, which include adjustments taken by customers of $ 9.3 million that were awaiting final processing as of such date. Differences between estimated expense and actual redemptions are recognized as a change in management estimate as actual redemptions are incurred.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures , to improve financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to amend existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosures for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company's income tax disclosures.

10. CONTINGENCIES
Litigation Matters
While the Company is involved in litigation and other matters incidental to the conduct of its business, the results of such matters, in the opinion of management, are not likely to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Guarantees
The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Bank of America for the purchase of routes. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed that were issued by Bank of America was $ 63.9 million and $ 63.5 million at June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, which loans are accounted for as off balance sheet arrangements. As discussed in Note 6.
12
Notes Receivable , the Company also sold notes receivable on its books to Bank of America during fiscal years 2025 and 2024, which the Company partially guarantees. The outstanding balance of notes purchased by Bank of America at June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024 was $ 12.8 million and $ 11.7 million, respectively. Due to the structure of the transactions, the sales did not qualify for sale accounting treatment, and as such the Company records the notes payable obligation owed by the IOs to the financial institution on its Consolidated Balance Sheets; the corresponding notes receivable also remain in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees equates to 25 % of the outstanding loan balance on the first day of each calendar year plus 25 % of the amount of any new loans issued during such calendar year.
Additionally, the Company guarantees loans for the purchase of routes made by two other banks. The outstanding balance of these loans was $ 1.0 million and $ 1.5 million at June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, of which $ 0.0 million and $ 1.3 million was included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees equates to 25 % of the outstanding loan balance.
All of the above IO loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.
11. SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW INFORMATION
(in millions) Twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024

The Company presents the gain on the sale of disposals of property and equipment, and the gain on the sale of routes within (Loss) gain on sale of assets within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
12. INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Utz Brands Holdings. LLC, an affiliate of the Company (“UBH”), as well as any standalone income or loss that UBI generates. UBH is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and for most applicable state and local income tax purposes, and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, UBH taxable income or loss is passed through to its members, including UBI. Despite its partnership treatment, UBH is liable for income taxes in those states that do not recognize its pass-through status and for certain of its subsidiaries that are not taxed as pass-through entities. The Company has acquired various domestic entities taxed as corporations, which are now wholly owned by us or our subsidiaries. Where required or allowed, these subsidiaries also file and pay taxes as a consolidated group for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company anticipates this structure to remain in existence for the foreseeable future.
The Company recorded income tax benefit of $ 3.2 million and $ 3.8 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, respectively. Comparably, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $ 1.3 million and expense of $ 25.2 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 were ( 46.4 )% and ( 31.7 )%, respectively. Comparably, the effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 were ( 5.4 )% and 47.5 %, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because UBH, which is a partnership, is not taxed at the entity level, and is required to allocate some of its taxable results to the holders of noncontrolling interests ("Noncontrolling Interest Holders"), as well as state taxes and the fair value impact of warrant liabilities. The Company’s effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 are 62.2 % and 43.8 %, respectively before consideration of any discrete items. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, the effective tax rate was impacted by statutory state tax rate changes, which resulted in a discrete tax benefit of $ 0.3 million and expense of $ 0.8 million, respectively.
13
The Company regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) for which future realization is uncertain. The Company assessed the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether future taxable income would be generated to permit the use of existing DTAs. As of June 29, 2025, a significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the twelve-quarter cumulative loss before taxes. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future growth. The Company determined that there is uncertainty regarding the utilization of certain DTAs such as the investment in UBH, federal operating losses subject to annual limitations due to “change in ownership” provisions, and state net operating losses where the Company does not expect to continue to have nexus. Therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the DTAs for which it is more likely than not they will not be realized. The Company has DTAs related to its investment in UBH that are expected to be realized in the ordinary course of operations or generate future net operating losses for which a portion will have an indefinite carryforward period.
Additionally, the Company has deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) related to its investment in UBH that will not reverse in the ordinary course of business and will only reverse when UBH is sold or liquidated. The Company has no intention of disposing of or liquidating UBH and therefore has not considered the indefinite lived DTL as a source of income to offset other DTAs. In weighing positive and negative evidence, both objective and subjective, including its twelve-quarter cumulative loss, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its DTAs related to net operating losses and deductible book/tax differences and recorded a DTL primarily related to the book over tax basis in the investment in UBH that will not reverse in the ordinary course of business. The Company considered that an indefinite lived DTL may be considered as a source of taxable income for an indefinite lived DTA; however, given our indefinite lived DTL will only reverse upon sale or liquidation, the Company determined that it was more appropriate to record a valuation allowance against a portion of its DTAs. The amount of DTAs considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth.
As of June 29, 2025, tax years 2021 through 2025 remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the majority of the states where the Company has nexus, and tax years 2020 through 2025 remain open and subject to examination in selected states that have a four-year statute of limitations.
Upon audit, tax authorities may challenge all or part of a tax position. A tax position successfully challenged by a taxing authority could result in an adjustment to our provision for income taxes in the period in which a final determination is made. The Company did not maintain any unrecognized tax benefits as of June 29, 2025 or December 29, 2024.
See Note 14. Equity for a discussion on distribution requirements to UBH members regarding income taxes on their flow-through income.
Tax receivable agreement liability
Pursuant to an election under section 754 of the Code, the Company obtained an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH when it was deemed to purchase units of UBH from a third party then holding common and preferred interests of noncontrolling interests and purchased units of UBH from noncontrolling interests in our business combination in 2020. Following the 2020 business combination, the Noncontrolling Interest Holders have the option to exchange common limited liability company units of UBH ("Common Company Units") along with the forfeiture of a corresponding number of shares of Class V Common Stock for corresponding number of shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company intends to treat any such exchanges as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which is expected to further increase its share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH. The increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
The Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement in connection with our business combination in 2020 (the “Tax Receivable Agreement” or “TRA”), which provides for the payment by the Company to Noncontrolling Interest Holders of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits realized as a result of (i) increases in the share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH resulting from the business combination and any future exchanges by Noncontrolling Interest Holders of shares of Class V Common Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock; (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA; and (iii) tax amortization deductions attributable to the acquisition of Kennedy Endeavors and the election to treat the transaction as an asset deal for tax purposes. The rights of each party under the TRA other than the Company are assignable, subject to certain restrictions. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the timing and amount of taxable income generated by the Company each year, as well as the tax rate then applicable, among other factors.
14
As of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had a liability of $ 25.5 million and $ 24.4 million, respectively, related to its projected obligations under the TRA, which is reflected as current and non-current accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
13. SEGMENT DATA
The Company operates in one reportable segment: the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sale of snack food products. The Company defines reporting segments as components of an organization for which discrete financial information is available and operating results are evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM”) in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Characteristics of the organization which were relied upon in making the determination that the Company operates in one reportable segment include the similar nature of all of the products that the Company sells, the functional alignment of the Company’s organizational structure, and the reports that are regularly reviewed by the CODM for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM uses segment income/loss to evaluate income generated from the segment in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or alternatives such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends, and to monitor budget versus actual results.

14. EQUITY
In January 2025, the Noncontrolling Interest Holders exchanged 2,000,000 UBH units together with the surrender and cancellation of the same number of shares of Class V Common Stock for an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds as a result of this exchange.
15. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive share-based awards outstanding during the periods.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted income per share:
(in millions, except share data) Thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 Thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 Twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024

Weighted average Class V Common Stock not subject to earnings per share calculation 55,349,000 59,349,000 55,502,846 59,349,000
Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest $ ( 0.4 ) $ 5.6 $ ( 2.2 ) $ 12.0
The diluted earnings per share computation excludes the effect of certain Warrants and certain restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs") and stock options granted to directors and management that convert to Class A Common Stock upon vesting or being exercised, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from diluted income per share calculation are as follows:
Thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 Thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 Twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024
RSUs 382,588 81,751 331,538 396,959
PSUs 435,156 214,995 418,315 180,233
Stock options
649,930 — 633,007 —
16
Shares of the Company’s Class V Common Stock do not participate in earnings of the Company and, therefore, are not participating securities. The PSUs and RSUs were not considered participating securities despite the holders of these stock-based compensation awards being entitled to participate in dividends declared on Class A Common Stock, if and when declared, on a one -to-one per-share basis, because the dividends are only payable upon full vesting of the awards, and as such, the dividend is forfeitable. As of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Noncontrolling Interest Holders held all 55,349,000 and 57,349,000 shares of Class V Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively, and also held an equal number of units of UBH, which comprise the noncontrolling interest.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 4, 2025, the United States Congress passed budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA, which, among other regulatory updates, contains numerous federal tax provisions including modifications to the capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense, and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements.
