[1] | For the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded $273.2 million within Net sales in its wholesale reportable segment attributable to discontinued operations inter-company product purchases from its Retail operating segment, which it expects will continue subsequent to the sale of certain retail banners.
[2] | For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recorded $227.1 million within Net sales in its wholesale reportable segment attributable to discontinued operations inter-company product purchases from its Retail operating segment, which it expects will continue subsequent to the sale of certain retail banners.
[3] | For fiscal 2020 year-to-date, the Company recorded $756.9 million within Net sales in its wholesale reportable segment attributable to discontinued operations inter-company product purchases from its Retail operating segment, which it expects will continue subsequent to the sale of certain retail banners.
[4] | For fiscal 2019 year-to-date, the Company recorded $505.5 million within Net sales in its wholesale reportable segment attributable to discontinued operations inter-company product purchases from its Retail operating segment, which it expects will continue subsequent to the sale of certain retail banners.
[5] | During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the presentation of net sales by customer channel was adjusted to reflect reclassification of customer types resulting from management’s determination that a customer serviced by both legacy Supervalu and UNFI should be classified as a Supermarket customer given that customer’s operations. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the presentation of net sales by customer channel was adjusted to reflect conventional military sales within Other instead of Independents based on management’s determination to better reflect the focus of its ongoing business and the definition of customer channels above. There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the reclassification of customer types. As a result of these adjustments, net sales to the Company’s Supermarkets channel for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and for fiscal 2019 year-to-date increased approximately $26 million and $77 million, respectively, compared to the previously reported amounts, while net sales to the Other channel for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and for fiscal 2019 year-to-date increased $96 million and $213 million, respectively, compared to previously reported amounts. Net sales to the Company’s Independents channel for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2019 year-to-date decreased $122 million and $290 million, respectively, compared to the previously reported amounts.
