BUSINESS In this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report” or “Report”), unless otherwise specified, references to “United Natural Foods”, “UNFI”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” mean United Natural Foods, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a Delaware corporation based in Providence, Rhode Island and Eden Prairie, Minnesota. We conduct our business through various subsidiaries. Since the formation of our predecessor in 1976, we have grown our business both organically and through acquisitions, which have expanded our distribution network, product selection and customer base. Our Background As a leading distributor of natural, organic, specialty, produce, and conventional grocery and non-food products, and provider of retailer services in the United States and Canada, we believe we are uniquely positioned to provide the broadest array of products and services to customers throughout North America. We offer more than 275,000 products consisting of national, regional and private label brands grouped into six product categories: grocery and general merchandise; produce; perishables and frozen foods; nutritional supplements and sports nutrition; bulk and food service products; and personal care items. Through our October 2018 acquisition of SUPERVALU INC. (“Supervalu”), we are transforming into North America’s premier wholesaler with 55 distribution centers and warehouses representing approximately 29 million square feet of warehouse space. We believe our total product assortment and service offerings are unmatched by our wholesale competitors. We plan to aggressively pursue new business opportunities to independent retailers who operate diverse formats, regional and national chains, as well as international customers with wide-ranging needs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we determined we no longer met the held for sale criterion for a probable sale to be completed within 12 months for the Cub Foods business and the majority of the remaining Shoppers locations. We reviewed our reportable segments and determined we were required to report Retail as a separate segment. Our business is classified into two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail; and also includes a manufacturing division and a branded product line division. Our Commitment to Social and Environmental Responsibility We are committed to being good stewards of our planet, our communities and our people, through tangible action. We continue to focus on reducing our environmental impact, conserving natural resources and promoting sustainability across our value chain and in our operations. We invest in the efficiency of our transportation fleet and warehouses, generate on-site solar power for operations use, and focus on diverting waste from landfills. In early 2020, UNFI joined the Climate Collaborative, solidifying commitments to energy efficiency, food waste reduction and sustainable transportation. We believe that freedom of food choice matters and we play a vital role in delivering safe, quality and nutritious food options to more tables across North America. We are also working to increase access to better food, particularly for people in low-income and rural communities, or vulnerable situations, through monetary and in-kind donations, and operating retail stores in underserved areas. Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the UNFI Foundation, provides grants to nonprofit organizations working to build better food systems and nurture everyday health. We also encourage our associates to make a difference by volunteering their time in their communities. The safety and well-being of our associates is a top priority. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have quickly and continuously adopted and added safety measures to protect our associates and the communities we serve. We are focused on fostering a culture of caring and safety; we are continuously striving toward zero injuries and accidents. Social and environmental responsibility is integral to our overall business strategy, and we believe these practices deliver significant value to our stakeholders, including our shareholders, associates, customers, suppliers and communities. 1 Our Strategic Priorities We remain focused on five strategic priorities that we believe will contribute to our future success: 1) Foster a People-Driven Culture. Embracing our core mission to transform the world of food and recognizing that our culture of safety and integrity is at the forefront of everything we do. 2) Financial Accountability. Delivering on our financial commitments, driving performance to achieve financial targets. We are focused on completing the integration of Supervalu into UNFI, realizing cost synergies, optimizing our distribution center network, driving cross-selling of products and services across our businesses and generating cash to pay down debt. 3) Execute on our Core Business. Completing our Thrive2 initiative, our project to drive integrated work streams and standardized operating procedures, which provide better experiences for our customers, associates and suppliers and allow us to realize synergy benefits from simplification, pursuing additional operational efficiencies, and delivering food solutions. 4) Focus on Growth.

    Dear Shareholder: This year, I am proud that SUPERVALU’s business operations delivered a standout year in fiscal 2004 marked by significant accomplishments and strong financial results. SUPERVALU continued to build momentum. We stayed the course on our business strategies and made substantial progress in our financial metrics. Unlike last year, which was clouded by macro-economic factors, fiscal 2004 was a year of changing industry dynamics. A long-time wholesale competitor declared bankruptcy; health care costs and pension expenses continued to increase at double-digit rates, which challenged union contract negotiations across the country; and moderate price inflation returned in some food categories. Today, we are witnessing transformation in the food retailing industry as companies embark on large-scale infrastructure initiatives to respond to more intense competition and drive sales improvements. It is truly an exciting time in our industry, and I believe SUPERVALU is well positioned to continue our success in this ever-changing environment. Our accomplishments in fiscal 2004 attest to our ability to adapt in a changing landscape while maintaining our long-term strategies. In fiscal 2004, we reported: ‰ Sales of $20.2 billion ‰ Net earnings of $280 million ‰ Diluted earnings per share of $2.07 ‰ Debt to capital ratio of 46.7 percent, the lowest in more than a decade ‰ Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), calculated on a 52-week basis, of 14.1 percent Even with the extra week in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003’s 52-week year, we showed good progress. The extra week contributed approximately $360 million in revenues and $0.07 in diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter.
