Supplemental Presentation on UNFI’s Pending Supervalu Acquisition 1
Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains, and certain statements made by representatives of UNFI, and respective affiliates, from time to time may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. UNFI’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, UNFI’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the business combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the business combination and the timing of the completion of the business combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside UNFI’s and SUPERVALU’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement relating to the proposed business combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against UNFI or SUPERVALU in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the business combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of SUPERVALU or other conditions to closing in the merger agreement; (4) risks related to the financing of the transaction; (5) the risk that announcement and consummation of the business combination disrupts current plans and operations; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the business combination; and (8) other risks and uncertainties identified in UNFI’s and SUPERVALU’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). More information about other potential factors that could affect UNFI’s and SUPERVALU’s business and financial results is included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in UNFI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2017 and SUPERVALU’s Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 24, 2018, as amended, and any updates to those risk factors set forth in UNFI’s and SUPERVALU’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings, which have been filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. UNFI cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. UNFI does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, other than as required by applicable law. This presentation also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted diluted earnings per common share, adjusted estimated diluted earnings per common share, debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, adjusted net sales, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted estimated effective tax rate and free cash flow. The reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the appendix to this presentation. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. UNFI believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures aids in making period-to-period comparisons and is a meaningful indication of its estimated operating performance. UNFI's management utilizes and plans to utilize this non-GAAP financial information to compare UNFI's operating performance during certain fiscal periods to the comparable periods in the other fiscal years and, in certain cases, to internally prepared projections. 2
