NOTE 3—REVENUE RECOGNITION

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company records revenue to five customer channels within Net sales, which are described below:

•Chains, which consists of customer accounts that typically have more than 10 operating stores and excludes stores included within the Supernatural and Other channels defined below;
•Independent retailers, which includes smaller size accounts, including single store and multiple store locations, and group purchasing entities that are not classified within Chains above or Other discussed below;
•Supernatural, which consists of chain accounts that are national in scope and carry primarily natural products, and currently consists solely of one customer;
•Retail, which reflects the Company’s Retail segment, including Cub Foods and Shoppers stores, and
•Other, which includes international customers outside of Canada, foodservice, eCommerce, conventional military business and other sales.
The following tables detail the Company’s Net sales for the periods presented by customer channel for each of its segments. The Company does not record its revenues within its Wholesale reportable segment for financial reporting purposes by product group, and it is therefore impracticable for it to report them accordingly.

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.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with a third-party financial institution for the sale of certain accounts receivable up to $300 million, subject to eligibility criteria established by the financial institution. The Company initially sold $253 million of accounts receivable under this agreement without recourse, in exchange for cash less a discount, as specified in the agreement. After the initial sale, the Company does not retain any interest in the receivables. The Company’s continuing involvement in transferred receivables is limited to servicing the receivables. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, certain receivables are sold to the third-party financial institution on a revolving basis, subject to certain limitations.
