FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the Company’s press releases, in the Company's website-accessible conference calls with analysts, and investor presentations include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), about the plans, strategies, objectives, goals or expectations of SpartanNash Company and subsidiaries (“SpartanNash” or “the Company”). These forward-looking statements may be identifiable by words or phrases indicating that the Company or management "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "intends," or "estimates," or that a particular occurrence or event "may," "could," "should," "will" or "will likely" result, occur or be pursued or "continue" in the future, that the "outlook", "trend", "guidance" or "target" is toward a particular result or occurrence, that a development is an "opportunity," "priority," "strategy," "focus," that the Company is "positioned" for a particular result, or similarly stated expectations.

Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, SpartanNash’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which speak only as of the date made. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies may affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include the Company's ability to compete in an extremely competitive industry; the Company's dependence on certain major customers; the Company's ability to implement its growth strategy and transformation initiatives; changes in relationships with the Company’s vendor base and supply chain disruptions; vulnerability to decreases in the supply and increases in the price of raw materials and labor, manufacturing, distribution and other costs; macroeconomic uncertainty, including rising inflation, potential economic recession, and increasing interest rates; difficulty attracting and retaining well-qualified Associates and effectively managing increased labor costs; customers to whom the Company extends credit or for whom the Company guarantees loans or lease obligations may fail to repay the Company; not achieving the Company’s strategy of growth through acquisitions and encountering difficulties successfully integrating acquired businesses that may not realize the anticipated benefits; the Company's ability to manage its private brand program for U.S. military commissaries, including the termination of the program or not achieving the desired results; disruptions to the Company's information security network, including security breaches and cyber-attacks; changes in the geopolitical conditions, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict; instances of security threats, severe weather conditions and natural disasters; climate change and an increased focus by stakeholders on environmental sustainability and corporate responsibility; impacts to the Company’s business and reputation due to an increasing focus on environmental, social and governance matters; disruptions associated with disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; impairment charges for goodwill or other long-lived assets; the Company's ability to successfully manage leadership transitions; interest rate fluctuations; the Company's ability to service its debt and to comply with debt covenants; the Company’s level of indebtedness; changes in government regulations; changes in the military commissary system, including its supply chain, or in the level of governmental funding; product recalls and other product-related safety concerns; labor relations issues; cost increases related to multi-employer pension plans and other postretirement plans; and other risks and uncertainties listed under "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This section and the discussions contained in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in Part I, Item 2 “Critical Accounting Policies” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are intended to provide meaningful cautionary statements for purposes of the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This should not be construed as a complete list of all the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that could adversely affect the Company’s expected consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to SpartanNash or that SpartanNash currently believes are immaterial also may impair its business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements to reflect developments that occur, or information obtained after the date of this Quarterly Report. In addition, historical information should not be considered as an indicator of future performance.

SPARTANNASH COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of SpartanNash Company and its subsidiaries (“SpartanNash” or “the Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, contain all adjustments, including normal recurring items, necessary to present fairly the financial position of SpartanNash as of July 15, 2023, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements requires management to make estimates. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and expectations of future outcomes which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The unaudited information in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2023 and 2022 include the results of operations of the Company for the 12- and 28-week periods ended July 15, 2023 and July 16, 2022, respectively.

Segment Change

At the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, the Company combined the previous Food Distribution and Military operating segments into one operating segment: Wholesale. Accordingly, the Company's business now consists of two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail. Segment financial information for the comparative prior year periods within this quarterly report has been recast to reflect this update.

Note 2 – Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

As of July 15, 2023 and for the period then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting standards that had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Under its contracts with customers, the Company stands ready to deliver product upon receipt of a purchase order. Accordingly, the Company has no performance obligations under its contracts until its customers submit a purchase order. The Company does not receive pre-payment from its customers or enter into commitments to provide goods or services that have terms greater than one year. As the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of less than one year, the Company has applied the practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to omit disclosures regarding remaining performance obligations.

Revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods (for example, due to changes in estimated rebates and incentives impacting the transaction price) was not material in any period presented.

For volume-based arrangements, the Company estimates the amount of the advanced funds earned by the retailers based on the expected volume of purchases by the retailer and amortizes the advances as a reduction of the transaction price and revenue earned. These advances are not considered contract assets under ASC 606 as they are not generated through the transfer of goods or services to the retailers. These advances are included in Other assets, net within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

10

When the Company transfers goods or services to a customer, payment is due subject to normal terms and is not conditional on anything other than the passage of time. Typical payment terms range from "due upon receipt" to due within 30 days, depending on the customer. At contract inception, the Company expects that the period of time between the transfer of goods to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods will be less than one year, which is consistent with the Company’s standard payment terms. Accordingly, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. As a result, these amounts are recorded as receivables and not contract assets. The Company had no contract assets for any period presented.

The Company does not typically incur incremental costs of obtaining a contract that are contingent upon successful contract execution and would therefore be capitalized.

Note 4 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company has two reporting units, Wholesale and Retail. The carrying amount of goodwill recorded within the Wholesale reporting unit was $181.0 million and the value within the Retail reporting unit was $1.1 million as of both July 15, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company has indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not amortized, consisting primarily of indefinite-lived trade names and liquor licenses. The carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets was $67.8 million as of both July 15, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company reviews goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter of each year, and more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment is probable. Such circumstances have not arisen in the current fiscal year. Testing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment requires management to make significant estimates about the Company’s future performance, cash flows, and other assumptions that can be affected by potential changes in economic, industry or market conditions, business operations, competition, or the Company’s stock price and market capitalization.

Note 5 – Restructuring and Asset Impairment

The following table provides the activity of reserves for closed properties for the 28-week period ended July 15, 2023. Included in the liability are lease-related ancillary costs from the date of closure to the end of the remaining lease term, as well as related severance. Reserves for closed properties recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are included in “Other accrued expenses” in Current liabilities and “Other long-term liabilities” in Long-term liabilities based on the timing of when the obligations are expected to be paid. Reserves for severance are recorded in “Accrued payroll and benefits”.

(a) Asset impairment charges in the current year relate to two store closures within the Retail segment and impairment losses related to a distribution location that sustained significant storm damage within the Wholesale segment. In the prior year, asset impairment charges related to restructuring of the Retail segment's e-commerce delivery model.

(b) Gains on sale of assets in the current year primarily relate to the sale of a store within the Retail segment. Gains on sales of assets in the prior year relates to the sales of real property of previously closed locations within the Retail segment.

(c) Other costs in the current year primarily relate to Retail store closings. In the prior year, activity primarily relates to restructuring activity within the Wholesale segment and Retail store closings.

(d) Lease termination adjustments in the prior year relate to the gain recognized upon termination of a lease agreement.

(e) Changes in estimates primarily relate to revised estimates for turnover and other lease ancillary costs associated with previously closed locations.

Long-lived assets which are not recoverable are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as further described in Note 6. In the current year, assets with a book value of $7.4 million were measured at a fair value of $3.7 million, resulting in impairment charges of $3.7 million. In the prior year, long-lived assets with a book value of $4.1 million were measured at a fair value of $0.6 million, resulting in impairment charges of $3.5 million. The fair value of long-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows, including the expected proceeds from the sale of assets and expected insurance recoveries, discounted using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates future cash flows based on historical results of operations, external factors expected to impact future performance, experience and knowledge of the geographic area in which the assets are located, and when necessary, uses the support of real estate brokers.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. For discussion of the fair value measurements related to goodwill, and long- or indefinite-lived asset impairment charges, refer to Notes 4 and 5. At July 15, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the book value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs, were as follows:

| July 15, |  |  | December 31, |
(In thousands) | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Book value of debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Current maturities of long-term debt and finance lease liabilities | $ |  | 7,644 |  |  | $ |  | 6,789 |
Long-term debt and finance lease liabilities |  |  | 550,518 |  |  |  |  | 501,419 |
Total book value of debt instruments |  |  | 558,162 |  |  |  |  | 508,208 |
Fair value of debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs |  |  | 557,410 |  |  |  |  | 507,668 |
Deficit of fair value over book value | $ |  | (752 | ) |  | $ |  | (540 | )

The estimated fair value of debt is based on market quotes for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities (Level 2 inputs and valuation techniques).

The Company's interest rate swap agreement is considered a Level 2 instrument. The Company values the interest rate swap using standard models and observable market inputs including SOFR interest rates and discount rates, which are considered Level 2 inputs. The location and the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement in the condensed consolidated balance sheet is disclosed in Note 7.

Note 7 – Derivatives

Hedging of Interest Rate Risk

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to mitigate its exposure to changes in variable interest rates. The Company's interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge as of both the effective date, March 17, 2023, and as of July 15, 2023. The interest rate swap is reflected at its fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 for further information on the fair value of interest rate swap.

Details of the pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap contract as of July 15, 2023 are as follows:

Effective Date | Maturity Date | Notional Value (in millions) | Pay Fixed Rate | Receive Floating Rate | Floating Rate Reset Terms
March 17, 2023 | November 17, 2027 | $150 | 3.646% | One-Month CME Term SOFR | Monthly

The Company performed an initial quantitative assessment of hedge effectiveness using the change-in-variable-cash-flows method. Under this method, the Company assessed the effectiveness of the hedging relationship by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the variable leg of the interest rate swap with the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future interest cash flows on the variable-rate debt. The Company determined the interest rate swap to be highly effective. To assess for continued hedge effectiveness, the Company performs a retrospective and prospective qualitative assessment each quarter. The Company also monitors the credit risk of the counterparty on an ongoing basis. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap is initially reported in "Other comprehensive income" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to earnings in "Interest expense, net" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings when the hedged transactions affect earnings.

The location and the fair value of the interest rate swap in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 15, 2023 is as follows:

|  | Derivative Fair Value |
|  | July 15, |
(In thousands) | Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Location | 2023 |
Cash Flow Hedge: |  |  |  |

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is engaged from time-to-time in routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. The Company does not believe that these routine legal proceedings, taken as a whole, will have a material impact on its business or financial condition. While the ultimate effect of such actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that their outcome will not result in an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operating results or liquidity.

The Company has contributed and is required to continue making contributions to the Central States Southeast and Southwest Pension Fund (the “Central States Plan” or the “Plan”), a multi-employer pension plan, based on obligations arising from certain of its collective bargaining agreements. If the Company were to cease making such contributions and triggered a withdrawal from the Plan, it is possible that the Company would be obligated to pay a withdrawal liability to the Plan if the Plan is underfunded at the time of such withdrawal.

13

On March 10, 2021, the United States Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “Act”), which provides financial relief to certain failing multiemployer pension plans. On January 12, 2023, the Central States Plan received approximately $35.8 billion in Special Financial Assistance (“SFA”), inclusive of interest, which is designed to alleviate the risk of insolvency of the Plan.

Based on the most recent information available to the Company, management believes the value of assets held in trust to pay benefits covers the present value of actuarial accrued liabilities in the Central States Plan. Except with respect to the approved SFA, management is not aware of any significant change in funding levels in the Plan since December 31, 2022. Due to uncertainty regarding future factors that could trigger a withdrawal liability, as well as the absence of specific information regarding matters such as the Plan’s current financial situations, we are unable to determine with certainty the current amount of the Plan’s funding and/or SpartanNash’s current potential withdrawal liability exposure in the event of a future withdrawal from the Plan. Any adjustment for withdrawal liability would be recorded when it is probable that a liability exists and can be reasonably determined.

Note 9 – Associate Retirement Plans

During the 12- and 28-week periods ended July 15, 2023, the Company recognized net periodic postretirement benefit income of $0.6 million and costs of $1.5 million, respectively, related to the SpartanNash Retiree Medical Plan (“Retiree Medical Plan” or "Plan"). During the 12- and 28- week periods ended July 16, 2022 the Company recognized net periodic postretirement benefit expense of $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to the Retiree Medical Plan.

Effective June 30, 2022, the Company has amended the Retiree Medical Plan. In connection with the amendment, the Company will make lump sum cash payments to all active and retired participants in lieu of future monthly benefits and reimbursements previously offered under the Plan. As a result of the amendment effective June 30, 2022, the Plan obligation was remeasured, resulting in a reduction to the obligation of $6.6 million and a corresponding prior service credit in AOCI, which will be amortized to net periodic postretirement benefit income over the remaining period until the final payment on July 1, 2024. During the 12- and 28- week periods ended July 15, 2023, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $1.8 million in net periodic postretirement benefit income related to the amortization of the prior service credit from AOCI.

On July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2022, the Company made lump sum payments to retired participants totaling $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The payments constituted partial settlements of the Plan, which resulted in the recognition within net periodic postretirement expense of $0.3 million and $0.7 million on July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively, related to the net actuarial loss within AOCI. The remaining payment, which relates to active participants, is expected to be made on or about July 1, 2024.

The Company’s retirement programs also include defined contribution plans providing contributory benefits, as well as executive compensation plans for a select group of management personnel and/or highly compensated associates.

In the first quarter of the prior year, the Company realized a gain of $0.2 million related to a refund from the annuity provider associated with an ineligible participant previously included in the terminated SpartanNash Company Pension Plan. These amounts are included in “Other, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

Multi-Employer Plans

In addition to the plans listed above, the Company participates in the Central States Southeast and Southwest Pension Fund, the Michigan Conference of Teamsters and Ohio Conference of Teamsters Health and Welfare plans (collectively referred to as “multi-employer plans”), and other company-sponsored defined contribution plans for most associates covered by collective bargaining agreements.

With respect to the Company’s participation in the Central States Plan, expense is recognized as contributions are payable. The Company’s contributions during the 12- week periods ended July 15, 2023 and July 16, 2022 were $3.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The Company's contributions during the 28-week periods ended July 15, 2023 and July 16, 2022 were $7.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively. See Note 8 for further information regarding contingencies related to the Company’s participation in the Central States Plan.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 28.2% and 29.0% for the 12 weeks ended July 15, 2023 and July 16, 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 24.7% and 22.2% for the 28 weeks ended July 15, 2023 and July 16, 2022, respectively.

The difference from the federal statutory rate in the current year and prior year quarters was primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses, partially offset by benefits associated with federal tax credits. The difference from the federal statutory rate in the current year was primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses, partially offset by benefits associated with federal tax credits, discrete tax benefits due to a change in contingencies and discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation. The difference in the federal statutory rate in the prior year was primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses, partially offset by benefits associated with federal tax credits and discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation.

Note 12 – Earnings Per Share

Outstanding nonvested restricted stock awards under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. These awards are classified as participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Awards under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan do not contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are therefore not classified as participating securities. The dilutive impact of both the restricted stock awards and warrants are presented below, as applicable. The performance share units are not currently dilutive.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the information contained under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements,” which appears at the beginning of this report, and the information in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Overview

SpartanNash, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a food solutions company that delivers the ingredients for a better life. Its core businesses include distributing grocery products to a diverse group of independent and chain retailers, its corporate-owned retail stores, and U.S. military commissaries and exchanges; as well as operating a premier fresh produce distribution network and the Our Family® private label brand. SpartanNash serves customer locations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Europe, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Djibouti, Korea and Japan.

At the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, the Company combined the previous Food Distribution and Military operating segments into one operating segment: Wholesale. As a result, the Company now operates two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail. Segment financial information for the comparative prior year periods within this quarterly report has been recast to reflect this update.

The Company’s Wholesale segment provides a wide variety of nationally branded and private brand grocery products and perishable food products to independent retailers, national accounts, food service distributors, e-commerce providers, and the Company’s corporate owned retail store. The Company’s Wholesale segment also distributes grocery products to 160 military commissaries and over 400 exchanges worldwide. The Company is the exclusive supplier of private brand products to U.S. military commissaries, a partnership with DeCA which began in fiscal 2017.

As of the end of the second quarter, the Company’s Retail segment operated 144 corporate owned retail stores in the Midwest region primarily under the banners of Family Fare, Martin’s Super Markets and D&W Fresh Market. The Company also offered pharmacy services in 91 of its corporate owned retail stores (81 of the pharmacies are owned by the Company), operated three pharmacy locations not associated with corporate-owned retail locations and operated 36 fuel centers. The Company’s neighborhood market strategy distinguishes its corporate owned retail stores from supercenters and limited assortment stores.

All fiscal quarters are 12 weeks, except for the Company’s first quarter, which is 16 weeks and will generally include the Easter holiday. The fourth quarter includes the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and depending on the fiscal year end, may include the New Year’s holiday.

The majority of the Company’s revenues are not seasonal in nature. However, in some geographies, corporate retail stores and independent retail customers are dependent on tourism, and therefore can be affected by seasons. The Company's revenues may also be impacted by weather patterns.

2023 Second Quarter Highlights

Key financial and operational highlights for the second quarter include the following:

•
Net sales of $2.31 billion, an increase of 1.7%, compared to $2.27 billion in the prior year quarter.
•
Retail comparable store sales increased 3.9% compared to the prior year quarter.
•
Net earnings of $19.5 million, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year quarter.
•
Adjusted EBITDA of $66.1 million, compared to $61.8 million in the prior year quarter.
•
Cash generated from operating activities was $49.7 million during the first half of fiscal 2023 compared to $28.5 million in the first half of the prior year.
•
Returned $33.6 million to shareholders during the first half of fiscal 2023 through share repurchases and dividends.

The Company believes that certain known or anticipated trends may cause future results to vary from historical results. The Company believes certain initiatives tied to its long-term plan including the supply chain transformation, merchandising transformation, and refreshed go-to-market strategy will favorably impact future results. The Company anticipates that additional investments in capital expenditures, and increased borrowings from the Company's senior secured credit facility, will be necessary to support these and other programs. Offsetting the Company's expectations of favorable future results are macroeconomic headwinds including economic uncertainty associated with inflation, labor costs, and interest rates. The Company continues to be exposed to inflationary impacts to other general areas including utilities, insurance and fuel costs.

Net Sales – The following table presents net sales by segment and variances in net sales:

| 12 Weeks Ended |  |  | 28 Weeks Ended |
(In thousands) | July 15, 2023 |  |  | July 16, 2022 |  |  | Variance |  |  | July 15, 2023 |  |  | July 16, 2022 |  |  | Variance |
Wholesale | $ |  | 1,633,364 |  |  | $ |  | 1,601,485 |  |  | $ |  | 31,879 |  |  | $ |  | 3,719,048 |  |  | $ |  | 3,583,864 |  |  | $ |  | 135,184 |
Retail |  |  | 679,030 |  |  |  |  | 672,405 |  |  |  |  | 6,625 |  |  |  |  | 1,500,740 |  |  |  |  | 1,453,684 |  |  |  |  | 47,056 |
Total net sales | $ |  | 2,312,394 |  |  | $ |  | 2,273,890 |  |  | $ |  | 38,504 |  |  | $ |  | 5,219,788 |  |  | $ |  | 5,037,548 |  |  | $ |  | 182,240 |

Net sales for the quarter ended July 15, 2023 (the “second quarter”) increased $38.5 million, or 1.7%, to $2.31 billion from $2.27 billion in the quarter ended July 16, 2022 (the “prior year quarter”). Net sales for the year-to-date period ended July 15, 2023 (the "year-to-date period") increased $182.2 million, or 3.6%, to $5.22 billion from $5.04 billion in the year-to-date period ended July 16, 2022 (the "prior year-to-date-period"). The increases reflected sales growth in both the Wholesale and Retail segments, which were favorably impacted by inflation trends and partially offset by lower volumes.

Wholesale net sales increased $31.9 million, or 2.0% to $1.63 billion in the second quarter from $1.60 billion in the prior year quarter. Wholesale net sales for the year-to-date period increased $135.2 million, or 3.8%, to $3.72 billion from $3.58 billion in the prior year-to-date period. The increases were primarily due to the inflationary impact on pricing in the current quarter and current year-to-date periods. Overall case volumes for the segment were down in the current quarter and current year-to-date period compared to the prior year by 4.6% and 3.6%, respectively, which were led by marketplace demand changes from a certain national account.

Retail net sales increased $6.6 million, or 1.0%, to $679.0 million in the second quarter from $672.4 million in the prior year quarter. Net sales for the year-to-date period increased $47.1 million, or 3.2%, to $1.50 billion from $1.45 billion in the prior year-to-date period. Comparable store sales grew 3.9% and 4.7% for the current quarter and current year-to-date periods, respectively. The comparable store sales growth was due primarily to the inflationary impact on pricing, which included an offsetting 5.1% and 5.6% decline in volumes in the current quarter and current year-to-date periods, respectively. Additionally, lower fuel prices reduced reported net sales by 2.0% and 1.1% in the current quarter and current year-to-date periods, respectively. The Company defines a retail store as comparable when it is in operation for 14 accounting periods (a period equals four weeks), regardless of remodels, expansions, or relocated stores. Acquired stores are included in the comparable sales calculation 13 periods after the acquisition date. Sales are compared to the same store’s operations from the prior year period for purposes of calculation of comparable store sales. Fuel is excluded from the comparable sales calculation due to volatility in price. Comparable store sales is a widely used metric among retailers, which is useful to management and investors to assess performance. The Company’s definition of comparable store sales may differ from similarly titled measures at other companies.

Gross Profit – Gross profit represents net sales less cost of sales, which for all non-production operations includes purchase costs, in-bound freight, physical inventory adjustments, markdowns and promotional allowances and excludes warehousing costs, depreciation and other administrative expenses. The Company’s gross profit definition may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Vendor allowances that relate to the buying and merchandising activities consist primarily of promotional allowances, which are generally allowances on purchased quantities and, to a lesser extent, slotting allowances, which are billed to vendors for the Company’s merchandising costs, such as setting up warehouse infrastructure. Vendor allowances are recognized as a reduction in cost of sales when the product is sold. Lump sum payments received for multi-year contracts are amortized over the life of the contracts based on contractual terms. The Wholesale segment includes shipping and handling costs in the Selling, general and administrative section of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.

Gross profit decreased $1.9 million, or 0.5%, to $352.4 million in the second quarter from $354.2 million in the prior year quarter. As a percent of net sales, gross profit was 15.2% compared to 15.6% in the prior year quarter. Gross profit for the year-to-date period decreased $5.8 million, or 0.7% from $804.8 million in the prior year-to-date period to $799.0 million in the current year. As a percent of net sales, gross profit for the year-to-date period was 15.3% compared to 16.0% in the prior year-to-date period. The gross profit declines were driven by lower volumes while the gross profit rate decreases were driven by lower inflation-related price change benefits in the Wholesale segment compared to elevated levels in the prior year. The gross profit declines were partially offset by benefits realized from the merchandising transformation initiative and higher overall margin rates in the Retail segment. Last-in-first-out ("LIFO") expense decreased $13.2 million, or 58 basis points, compared to the prior year quarter and decreased $12.2 million, or 25 basis points, compared to the prior year-to-date period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of operating costs related to retail and supply chain operations, including salaries and wages, employee benefits, facility costs, shipping and handling, equipment rental, depreciation, and out-bound freight, in addition to corporate administrative expenses.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter decreased $20.1 million, or 5.9%, to $318.8 million from $338.9 million in the prior year quarter, representing 13.8% of net sales in the second quarter compared to 14.9% in the prior year quarter. SG&A expense for the year-to-date period decreased $24.1 million, or 3.2% to $737.0 million, from $761.0 in the prior year-to-date period, representing 14.1% in the current year-to-date period compared to 15.1% as a percentage of net sales in the prior year-to-date period. The decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a rate of sales were due primarily to a decline in incentive compensation expense compared to the prior year and a reduction in the supply chain expense rates as a result of efficiencies realized from the Company's supply chain transformation initiative.

Acquisition and Integration – Acquisition and integration expenses for the second quarters ended July 15, 2023, and July 16, 2022 were $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The year-to-date period and prior year-to-date period included charges of $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Current year activity is primarily within the Wholesale segment while the prior year expense is primarily related to an acquisition within the Retail segment.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment, net – Second quarter and prior year quarter results included a net gain of $2.3 million and net charges of $2.6 million, respectively. The year-to-date period and prior year-to-date period included charges of $1.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The current quarter gain primarily relates to the sale of a store location within the Retail segment, partially offset by other costs related to Retail store closings. The year-to-date charges primarily relate to two store closures within the Retail segment and impairment losses related to a distribution location that sustained significant storm damage within the Wholesale segment, partially offset by the sale of a store within the Retail segment. The prior year quarter and prior year-to-date amounts primarily consist of asset impairment charges related to the restructuring of the Retail segment's ecommerce delivery model, partially offset by a gain on sales of assets related to the sale of real property of previously closed locations in the Retail segment.

Operating Earnings – The following table presents operating earnings (loss) by segment and variances in operating earnings (loss).

| 12 Weeks Ended |  |  | 28 Weeks Ended |
(In thousands) | July 15, 2023 |  |  | July 16, 2022 |  |  | Variance |  |  | July 15, 2023 |  |  | July 16, 2022 |  |  | Variance |
Wholesale | $ |  | 21,542 |  |  | $ |  | 12,697 |  |  | $ |  | 8,845 |  |  | $ |  | 47,867 |  |  | $ |  | 40,819 |  |  | $ |  | 7,048 |
Retail |  |  | 14,244 |  |  |  |  | (368 | ) |  |  |  | 14,612 |  |  |  |  | 12,232 |  |  |  |  | (341 | ) |  |  |  | 12,573 |
Total operating earnings | $ |  | 35,786 |  |  | $ |  | 12,329 |  |  | $ |  | 23,457 |  |  | $ |  | 60,099 |  |  | $ |  | 40,478 |  |  | $ |  | 19,621 |

Operating earnings increased $23.5 million, or 190.3% to $35.8 million in the second quarter from $12.3 million in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the year-to-date period increased $19.6 million, or 48.5%, to $60.1 million from $40.5 million in the prior year-to-date period. The increases in operating earnings was due to the changes in net sales, gross profit and operating expenses discussed above.

20

Wholesale operating earnings increased $8.8 million, or 69.7%, to $21.5 million in the second quarter from $12.7 million in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the year-to-date period increased $7.0 million, or 17.3%, to $47.9 million from $40.8 million in the prior year-to-date period. The increases in operating earnings were due to improved leverage of operating expenses, including lower incentive compensation as well as efficiencies realized from the Company's supply chain transformation initiative, partially offset by lower gross profit from cycling prior year's inflation-related price change benefits and reduced volumes in the current year.

Retail operating earnings increased $14.6 million, to $14.2 million in the second quarter from a $0.4 million operating loss in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the year-to-date period increased $12.6 million, to $12.2 million from a $0.3 million operating loss in the prior year-to-date period. The increases in operating earnings were due to lower incentive compensation, a higher gross profit rate, and reduced asset impairment and restructuring charges, partially offset by reduced volume, continued investment in store wage rates, and reduced pharmacy margins.

Interest Expense – Interest expense increased $4.8 million, or 106.5%, to $9.3 million in the second quarter from $4.5 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense for the year-to-date period increased $12.2 million, or 140.3%, to $20.9 million from $8.7 million in the prior year-to-date period. The increases during the current quarter and current year-to-date period were driven by federal monetary policy tightening, resulting in a 350 basis point increase in the federal funds rate by the end of the second quarter compared to the end of the prior year quarter, and accounted for $3.9 million and $10.0 million of the increase in interest expense, respectively.

Income Taxes – The effective income tax rates were 28.2% and 29.0% for the second quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. For the year-to-date period and prior year-to-date period, the effective tax rates were 24.7% and 22.2%, respectively. The difference from the federal statutory rate in current year and prior year quarters were primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses, partially offset by benefits associated with federal tax credits. The difference from the federal statutory rate in current year was primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses, partially offset by benefits associated with federal tax credits, discrete tax benefits due to a change in contingencies and discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation. The difference in the federal statutory rate in the prior year was primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses, partially offset by benefits associated with federal tax credits and discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company also provides information regarding adjusted operating earnings, adjusted earnings from continuing operations, as well as per diluted share (“adjusted EPS”), net long-term debt, total capital, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”). These are non-GAAP financial measures, as defined below, and are used by management to allocate resources, assess performance against its peers and evaluate overall performance. The Company believes these measures provide useful information for both management and its investors. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide additional understanding of the trends and special circumstances that affect its business. These measures provide useful supplemental information that helps investors to establish a basis for expected performance and the ability to evaluate actual results against that expectation. The measures, when considered in connection with GAAP results, can be used to assess the overall performance of the Company as well as assess the Company’s performance against its peers. These measures are also used as a basis for certain compensation programs sponsored by the Company. In addition, securities analysts, fund managers and other shareholders and stakeholders that communicate with the Company request its financial results in these adjusted formats.

Current year adjusted operating earnings, adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA exclude, among other items, LIFO expense, organizational realignment, severance associated with cost reduction initiatives, a non-routine settlement related to a legal matter resulting from a previously closed operation that was resolved during the year and operating and non-operating costs associated with the postretirement plan amendment and settlement. Current year organizational realignment includes consulting costs associated with the Company's change in its go-to-market strategy as part of its long-term plan, which relates to the reorganization of certain functions. Costs related to the postretirement plan amendment and settlement include non-operating expenses associated with amortization of the prior service credit related to the amendment of the retiree medical plan, which are excluded from adjusted earnings from continuing operations. Postretirement plan amendment and settlement costs also include operating expenses related to payroll taxes which are adjusted out of all non-GAAP financial measures. Prior year adjusted operating earnings, adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA exclude, among other things, LIFO expense, costs related to shareholder activism, organizational realignment, operating and non-operating costs associated with the postretirement plan amendment and settlement, and severance associated with cost reduction initiatives. Costs related to shareholder activism include consulting, and other expenses incurred in relation to shareholder activism activities. Organizational realignment includes benefits for associates terminated as part of leadership transition plans, which do not meet the definition of reduction-in-force.

Each of these items are considered “non-operational” or “non-core” in nature.

21

Adjusted Operating Earnings

Adjusted operating earnings is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that the Company defines as operating earnings plus or minus adjustments for items that do not reflect the ongoing operating activities of the Company and costs associated with the closing of operational locations.

The Company believes that adjusted operating earnings provide a meaningful representation of its operating performance for the Company as a whole and for its operating segments. The Company considers adjusted operating earnings as an additional way to measure operating performance on an ongoing basis. Adjusted operating earnings is meant to reflect the ongoing operating performance of all of its distribution and retail operations; consequently, it excludes the impact of items that could be considered “non-operating” or “non-core” in nature and also excludes the contributions of activities classified as discontinued operations. Because adjusted operating earnings and adjusted operating earnings by segment are performance measures that management uses to allocate resources, assess performance against its peers and evaluate overall performance, the Company believes it provides useful information for both management and its investors. In addition, securities analysts, fund managers and other shareholders and stakeholders that communicate with the Company request its operating financial results in an adjusted operating earnings format.

Adjusted operating earnings is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, and other income statement data. The Company’s definition of adjusted operating earnings may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Following is a reconciliation of operating earnings to adjusted operating earnings for the 12 and 28 weeks ended July 15, 2023 and July 16, 2022.

Adjusted Earnings from Continuing Operations

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations, as well as per diluted share ("adjusted EPS"), is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that the Company defines as net earnings plus or minus adjustments for items that do not reflect the ongoing operating activities of the Company and costs associated with the closing of operational locations.

The Company believes that adjusted earnings from continuing operations provide a meaningful representation of its operating performance for the Company. The Company considers adjusted earnings from continuing operations as an additional way to measure operating performance on an ongoing basis. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations is meant to reflect the ongoing operating performance of all of its distribution and retail operations; consequently, it excludes the impact of items that could be considered “non-operating” or “non-core” in nature, and excludes the contributions of activities classified as discontinued operations. Because adjusted earnings from continuing operations is a performance measure that management uses to allocate resources, assess performance against its peers and evaluate overall performance, the Company believes it provides useful information for both management and its investors. In addition, securities analysts, fund managers and other shareholders and stakeholders that communicate with the Company request its operating financial results in adjusted earnings from continuing operations format.

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data. The Company’s definition of adjusted earnings from continuing operations may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that the Company defines as net earnings plus interest, discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash items including share-based payments (equity awards measured in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which include both stock-based compensation to employees and stock warrants issued to non-employees) and the LIFO provision, as well as adjustments for items that do not reflect the ongoing operating activities of the Company.

The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful representation of its operating performance for the Company and for its operating segments. The Company considers adjusted EBITDA as an additional way to measure operating performance on an ongoing basis. Adjusted EBITDA is meant to reflect the ongoing operating performance of all of its distribution and retail operations; consequently, it excludes the impact of items that could be considered “non-operating” or “non-core” in nature, and also excludes the contributions of activities classified as discontinued operations. Because adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment are performance measures that management uses to allocate resources, assess performance against its peers and evaluate overall performance, the Company believes it provides useful information for both management and its investors. In addition, securities analysts, fund managers and other shareholders and stakeholders that communicate with the Company request its operating financial results in adjusted EBITDA format.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data. The Company’s definitions of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $6.4 million in the current year compared to the prior year primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures in the current year in line with the Company's long-term plan, partially offset by an acquisition that occurred within the Retail segment in the prior year.

Capital expenditures were $60.8 million in the current year and cloud computing application development spend, which is included in operating activities, was $2.7 million, compared to capital expenditures of $46.4 million and cloud computing application development spend of $3.2 million in the prior year.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $37.5 million in the current year compared to the prior year, primarily due to decreased net borrowings on the senior credit facility in the current year and an increase in share repurchases in the current year.

Debt Management

Total debt, including finance lease liabilities, was $553.5 million and $503.6 million as of July 15, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in total debt was due to additional net borrowings on the senior credit facility to fund working capital changes, purchases of property, plant and equipment and share repurchases.

Liquidity

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and its senior secured credit facility, which includes Tranche A revolving loans, with a borrowing capacity of $1.09 billion, and Tranche A-1 revolving loans, with a borrowing capacity of $40 million. As of July 15, 2023, the senior secured credit facility had outstanding borrowings of $483.8 million. During the first quarter, the Company increased the borrowing capacity of Tranche A revolving loans by $115.0 million to $1.09 billion from $975.0 million through the addition of two new lenders. This expansion of borrowing capacity aligns with the Company's recent growth and provides flexibility to support the Company's strategic long-term plans, including both organic and inorganic investments.

Additional available borrowings under the Company’s credit facility are based on stipulated advance rates on eligible assets, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain excess availability of 10% of the borrowing base, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company had excess availability after the 10% covenant of $488.9 million at July 15, 2023. Payment of dividends and repurchases of outstanding shares are permitted, provided that certain levels of excess availability are maintained. The credit facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit, of which $17.7 million were outstanding as of July 15, 2023. The credit facility matures November 17, 2027 and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The Company believes that cash generated from operating activities and available borrowings under the credit facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, dividend payments, and debt service obligations for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that the business will continue to generate cash flow at or above current levels or that the Company will maintain its ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 1.62-to-1 at July 15, 2023 compared to 1.51-to-1 at December 31, 2022, and its investment in working capital was $414.8 million at July 15, 2023 compared to $361.4 million at December 31, 2022. The net long-term debt to total capital ratio was 0.41-to-1 at July 15, 2023 compared to 0.38-to-1 at December 31, 2022.

27

Net long-term debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as long-term debt and finance lease liabilities, plus current portion of long-term debt and finance lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. The ratio of net long-term debt to total capital is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by dividing net long-term debt, as defined previously, by total capital (net long-term debt plus total shareholders’ equity). The Company believes both management and its investors find the information useful because it reflects the amount of long-term debt obligations that are not covered by available cash and temporary investments. Total net long-term debt is not a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies.

For information on material cash requirements, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. At July 15, 2023, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s material cash requirements outside the ordinary course of business.

Cash Dividends

During the quarter ended July 15, 2023, the Company declared $7.5 million in dividends. A 2.4% increase in the quarterly dividend rate from $0.21 per share to $0.215 per share was approved by the Board of Directors and announced on March 1, 2023. Although the Company expects to continue to pay a quarterly cash dividend, adoption of a dividend policy does not commit the Board of Directors to declare future dividends. Each future dividend will be considered and declared by the Board of Directors at its discretion. Whether the Board of Directors continues to declare dividends depends on a number of factors, including the Company’s future financial condition, anticipated profitability and cash flows and compliance with the terms of its credit facilities.

Under the senior revolving credit facility, the Company is generally permitted to pay dividends in any fiscal year up to an amount such that all cash dividends, together with any cash distributions and share repurchases, do not exceed $35.0 million. Additionally, the Company is generally permitted to pay cash dividends and repurchase shares in excess of $35.0 million in any fiscal year so long as its Excess Availability, as defined in the senior revolving credit facility, is in excess of 15% of the Total Borrowing Base, as defined in the senior revolving credit facility, before and after giving effect to the repurchases and dividends.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has also made certain commercial commitments that extend beyond July 15, 2023. These commitments consist primarily of purchase commitments, standby letters of credit of $17.7 million as of July 15, 2023, and interest on long-term debt and finance lease liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Based on the Company’s ongoing review, the Company makes adjustments it considers appropriate under the facts and circumstances. This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company believes these accounting policies and others set forth in Item 7 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 should be reviewed as they are integral to understanding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the same critical accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk of SpartanNash from the information provided in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, with the exception of the interest rate swap entered into during the first quarter of 2023 described below.

As of July 15, 2023, the Company maintained an interest rate swap agreement with a maturity date of November 17, 2027 with an aggregate notional amount totaling $150 million. An interest rate swap is an agreement that effectively converts a portion of the variable interest payable on $150 million of the Company's outstanding debt to a fixed rate. The fixed interest rate for the interest rate swap is 3.646%. The variable rate leg of the interest rate swap is the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). As of July 15, 2023, the fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "Other long-term liabilities" for $2.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and "Accumulated other comprehensive income" for $0.9 million, net of tax.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of SpartanNash Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as currently defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed as of July 15, 2023 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of SpartanNash Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Corporate Controller. As of the Evaluation Date, SpartanNash Company’s management, including the CEO, CFO and Corporate Controller, concluded that SpartanNash’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the second quarter of 2023 there were no changes that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, SpartanNash’s internal control over financial reporting.
