Please refer to the tables in this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. |
Net sales increased 4.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by a nearly 2% increase in wholesale unit volumes, including the benefit of new business with existing and new customers, as well as inflation.
Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.0 billion, an increase of $8 million, or 0.8%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The gross profit rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 13.2% of net sales compared to 13.6% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in the gross profit rate was primarily driven by lower product margin rates and business mix partly offset through supplier programs and lower shrink.
Operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $1,015 million, or 12.9% of net sales, compared to $1,023 million, or 13.5% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of sales was driven by the benefits from cost saving initiatives and the leveraging impact of higher sales.
Interest expense, net for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $36 million compared to $35 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was a benefit of 16.7% on pre-tax loss compared to a benefit of 18.8% on pre-tax loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $21 million. Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $39 million.
Net loss per diluted share (EPS) was $(0.35) for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to net loss per diluted share of $(0.67) for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EPS was $0.16 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $(0.04) in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $134 million compared to $117 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Capital Allocation and Financing Overview
- Free Cash Flow ā During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, free cash flow was $(159) million compared to $(328) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 reflects net cash used in operating activities of $110 million less payments for capital expenditures of $49 million. Free cash flow in the quarter was lowered by the strategic reduction in the companyās accounts receivable monetization facility of $69 million.
- Leverage ā Total outstanding debt, net of cash, was $2.23 billion at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025, reflecting an increase of $164 million compared to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio was 4.2x as of November 2, 2024.
- Liquidity ā As of November 2, 2024, total liquidity was approximately $1.17 billion, consisting of approximately $37 million in cash, plus the unused capacity of approximately $1.14 billion under the Companyās asset-based lending facility.

The outlook provided above is for fiscal 2025 only. The outlook is forward-looking, is based on managementās current estimates and expectations and is subject to a number of risks, including many that are outside of management’s control. See cautionary Safe Harbor Statement below. |
(2) |
(Loss) earnings per share amounts as presented include rounding. |
(3) |
The Company uses an adjusted effective tax rate in calculating Adjusted EPS. The adjusted effective tax rate is calculated based on adjusted net (loss) income before tax. It also excludes the potential impact of changes to uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances, tax impacts related to the vesting of share-based compensation awards and discrete GAAP tax items which could impact the comparability of the operational effective tax rate. The Company believes using this adjusted effective tax rate provides better consistency across the interim reporting periods since each of these discrete items can cause volatility in the GAAP tax rate that is not indicative of the underlying ongoing operations of the Company. By providing this non-GAAP measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Companyās effective tax rate on ongoing operations. The outlook for Adjusted EPS reflects a tax rate of 26%. |
(4) |
The Company is unable to provide a full reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to the difficulty in predicting the amounts for certain adjustment items. |
(5) |
Reflects the sum of payments for capital expenditures and cloud technology implementation expenditures. The Company believes that providing this non-GAAP measure provides investors with better visibility to the Companyās total investment spend. |
(6) |
The components of capital and cloud implementation expenditures for fiscal 2025 will be primarily dependent on the nature of certain contracts to be executed. As such, the Company is unable to reconcile the outlook for free cash flow as well as capital and cloud implementation expenditures in fiscal 2025 to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. |

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements in this press release regarding the Companyās business that are not historical facts are āforward-looking statementsā that involve risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations and management estimates; actual results may differ materially. The risks and uncertainties which could impact these statements are described in the Companyās filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 3, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the āSECā) on October 1, 2024 and other filings the Company makes with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to, our dependence on principal customers; the relatively low margins of our business, which are sensitive to inflationary and deflationary pressures and intense competition, including as a result of the continuing consolidation of retailers and the growth of consumer choices for grocery and consumable purchases; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives; changes in relationships with our suppliers; our ability to operate, and rely on third parties to operate, reliable and secure technology systems; labor and other workforce shortages and challenges; the addition or loss of significant customers or material changes to our relationships with these customers; our ability to realize anticipated benefits of strategic transactions; our ability to continue to grow sales, including of our higher margin natural and organic foods and non-food products; our ability to maintain sufficient volume in our wholesale distribution and services businesses to support our operating infrastructure; our ability to access additional capital; increases in healthcare, pension and other costs under our single employer benefit plan and multiemployer benefit plans; the potential for additional asset impairment charges; our sensitivity to general economic conditions including inflation, changes in disposable income levels and consumer purchasing habits; our ability to timely and successfully deploy our warehouse management system throughout our distribution centers and our transportation management system across the Company and to achieve efficiencies and cost savings from these efforts; the potential for disruptions in our supply chain or our distribution capabilities from circumstances beyond our control, including due to lack of long-term contracts, severe weather, labor shortages or work stoppages or otherwise; moderated supplier promotional activity, including decreased forward buying opportunities; union-organizing activities that could cause labor relations difficulties and increased costs; our ability to maintain food quality and safety; and volatility in fuel costs. Any forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made. The Company is not undertaking to update any information in the foregoing reports until the effective date of its future reports required by applicable laws. Any estimates of future results of operations are based on a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the Companyās control and should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results will in fact occur. These estimates are subject to change and could differ materially from final reported results. The Company may from time to time update these publicly announced estimates, but it is not obligated to do so.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures: To supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (āGAAPā) basis, the Company has included in this press release the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per diluted common share (āAdjusted EPSā), adjusted effective tax rate, free cash flow, net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio and capital and cloud implementation expenditures. Adjusted EPS is a consolidated measure, which the Company reconciles by adding Net income attributable to UNFI plus the LIFO charge or benefit, Goodwill impairment benefits and charges, Restructuring, acquisition, and integration related expenses, gains and losses on sales of assets, certain legal charges and gains, surplus property depreciation and interest expense, losses on debt extinguishment, the impact of diluted shares when GAAP earnings is presented as a loss and non-GAAP earnings represent income, and the tax impact of adjustments and the adjusted effective tax rate, which tax impact is calculated using the adjusted effective tax rate, and certain other non-cash charges or items, as determined by management. The non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate excludes the potential impact of changes to various uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances, as well as tax impacts related to the vesting of share-based compensation awards. The non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure is a consolidated measure which the Company reconciles by adding Net (loss) income including noncontrolling interests, less Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, plus Non-operating income and expenses, including Net periodic benefit income, excluding service cost, Interest expense, net and Other (income) expense, net, plus (Benefit) provision for income taxes and Depreciation and amortization all calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus adjustments for Share-based compensation, non-cash LIFO charge or benefit, Restructuring, acquisition and integration related expenses, Goodwill impairment charges, Loss (gain) on sale of assets and other asset charges, certain legal charges and gains, and certain other non-cash charges or other items, as determined by management. The non-GAAP free cash flow measure is defined as net cash used in operating activities less payments for capital expenditures. The non-GAAP net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio is defined as the total carrying value of the Companyās outstanding short- and long-term debt and finance lease liabilities less net cash and cash equivalents, the sum of which is divided by the trailing four quarters Adjusted EBITDA. The non-GAAP capital and cloud implementation expenditures measure is defined as the sum of payments for capital expenditures and cloud technology implementation expenditures.
The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures and the calculation of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage are presented in the tables appearing below. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that presenting the non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS aids in making period-to-period comparisons, assessing the performance of the Companyās business and understanding the underlying operating performance and core business trends by excluding certain adjustments not expected to recur in the normal course of business or that are not meaningful indicators of actual and estimated operating performance. The inclusion of free cash flow assists investors in understanding the cash generating ability of the Company separate from cash generated by the sale of assets. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio is a commonly used metric that assists investors in understanding and evaluating the Companyās capital structure and changes to its capital structure over time. The Company believes that providing non-GAAP capital and cloud implementation expenditures provides investors with better visibility into the Company’s total investment expenditures. The components of capital and cloud implementation expenditures for fiscal 2025 will be primarily dependent on the nature of certain contracts to be executed. The Company currently expects to continue to exclude the items listed above from non-GAAP financial measures. Management utilizes and plans to utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to compare the Companyās operating performance during the 2025 fiscal year to the comparable periods in the 2024 fiscal year and to internally prepared projections. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies.
