Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business United Natural Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “UNFI”) is a leading distributor of natural, organic, specialty, produce and conventional grocery and non-food products, and provider of support services to retailers. The Company sells its products primarily throughout 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 the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 relate to the 13-week fiscal quarters ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024, respectively. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally required in complete financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the Company’s opinion, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 2, 2025 (the “Annual Report”). There were no material changes in significant accounting policies from those described in the Annual Report. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements certain immaterial amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on reported net loss, net cash flows, or total assets and liabilities. Cybersecurity Incident As previously disclosed, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company became aware of unauthorized activity on certain information technology systems. The Company promptly activated its incident response plan and implemented containment measures, including proactively taking certain systems offline (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company recognized $14 million of incremental costs and charges related to the Cybersecurity Incident, of which $13 million is included in Gross profit and $1 million is included in Operating expenses in the Condensed 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, and intends to continue to submit, claims to its insurers for reimbursement of costs, expenses, and losses stemming from the Cybersecurity Incident and expects that the full claim and settlement process will extend throughout fiscal 2026. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company received $10 million in cybersecurity insurance proceeds related to the Cybersecurity Incident the Company experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which was recognized as a reduction to Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses. 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as an operating activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of November 1, 2025 and August 2, 2025, the Company had net book overdrafts of $328 million and $267 million, respectively. 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. The LIFO reserve was $354 million and $349 million as of November 1, 2025 and August 2, 2025, respectively, which is recorded within Inventories, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
