FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in the Company’s press releases and in the Company’s website-accessible conference calls with analysts and investor presentations include “forward-looking statements” about the plans, strategies, objectives, goals or expectations of SpartanNash Company and subsidiaries (“SpartanNash” or “the Company”). These forward-looking statements are identifiable by words or phrases indicating that SpartanNash or management “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” or “estimates,” or that a particular occurrence or event “will,” “may,” “could,” “should” or “will likely” result, occur or be pursued or “continue” in the future, that the “outlook” or “trend” 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.

In addition to other risks and uncertainties described in connection with 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 28, 2019 and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), there are many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, general business conditions, changes in overall economic conditions that impact consumer spending, the Company’s ability to integrate acquired assets, the impact of competition and other factors which are often beyond the control of the Company, and other risks listed in the “Risk Factors” discussions in Items 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial.

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 28, 2019 and in Item 1A “Risk Factors” and 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.

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 28, 2019.

 

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 11, 2020, 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, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the uncertainty of the magnitude and duration of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates. 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 2020 and 2019 include the results of operations of the Company for the 12- and 28-week periods ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019, respectively.

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

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard requires entities to use a forward-looking “expected loss” model that replaces the previous “incurred loss” model, which generally results in the earlier recognition of credit losses.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted this standard through the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the fiscal year. As a result of the adoption, the Company has established revised processes and controls to estimate expected losses for trade and other receivables in accordance with the new standard. The Company’s process for estimating losses for trade and other receivables includes an evaluation of both historical collection experience and expectations for current credit risks based on several customer and environmental factors.

The adoption of the standard resulted in a transition adjustment to beginning of the year retained earnings of $2.2 million (gross of the deferred tax impact of $0.6 million). The transition adjustment relates to incremental trade and notes receivable allowances due to the earlier recognition of expected losses under the new standard of $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Changes in the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows:

The Company has evaluated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in performing its quarterly evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. While the duration and impact of these affects is uncertain, the Company did not deem it necessary to record incremental allowances for doubtful accounts as no additional credit exposures were identified.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that are no longer considered to be cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may advance funds to certain independent retailers which are earned by the retailers primarily through achieving specified purchase volume requirements, as outlined in their supply agreements with the Company, or in limited instances, for remaining a SpartanNash customer for a specified time period. These advances must be repaid if the purchase volume requirements are not met or if the retailer no longer remains a customer for the specified time period. 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. Realizability of the advances, or collectability in event of default, is not assured and is dependent on the financial condition of the customer, economic and industry factors and the quality of the underlying collateral. No reserves related to the realizability or collectability of customer advances were necessary as of July 11, 2020. 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 “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Other assets, net” on the Company’s balance sheets.

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 30 days, depending on the type of customer and relationship. 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 under ASC 606 to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. As such, 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 Acquisitions

On December 31, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Martin’s Super Markets, Inc. (“Martin’s”) for $86.7 million, net of $7.8 million of cash acquired. Acquired assets consist primarily of property and equipment of $55.0 million, intangible assets of $23.9 million, and working capital. Intangible assets are primarily composed of an indefinite-lived trade name of $20.6 million and pharmacy customer prescription lists of $3.1 million which are amortized over seven years. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date based on preliminary estimates, which were subsequently finalized during the fourth quarter of 2019. No goodwill was recorded related to the acquisition. The Company incurred $1.2 million of merger/acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition in the prior year-to-date period. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from the Company’s Credit Agreement.

Martin’s operates supermarkets in Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan. Martin’s was an independent retailer and customer of the Company’s Food Distribution segment prior to the acquisition.

Note 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company has three reporting units; however, no goodwill exists within the Retail or Military reporting units. The carrying amount of goodwill recorded within the Food Distribution reporting unit was $181.0 million as of July 11, 2020 and December 28, 2019.

 

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 a risk of impairment. 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.

The Company has indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not amortized, consisting primarily of indefinite-lived trade names and licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages. The carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets was $76.3 million as of July 11, 2020 and December 28, 2019.

(a)  Asset impairment charges in the current year were incurred primarily in the Food Distribution segment and relate to the exit of the Fresh Cut business and the sale of certain equipment assets of the previously closed Fresh Kitchen facility, which totaled $9.9 million. These impairments were partially offset by recoveries of $0.3 million related to the re-opening of a previously impaired distribution center. In the prior year, charges primarily relate to the repositioning of the Fresh Production operations within the Food Distribution segment.

(b)  The charge on the customer advance relates to an advance to an independent retailer customer which was not fully recoverable.

(c)  Gain on sales of assets in the prior year primarily relates to the sale of a previously closed distribution center in the Food Distribution segment.

(d)  Severance in the current year was related to the exit of the Fresh Cut business.

(e)  Other costs primarily relate to the Fresh Cut and store closings in the current year, and a Food Distribution warehouse and store closings in the prior year.

(f)  Changes in estimates primarily relate to revised estimates for turnover and other lease ancillary costs associated with previously closed locations, due to deterioration of the condition of certain properties.   

Long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. In connection primarily with the Company’s exit of the Fresh Cut operations and planned sales of certain Fresh Kitchen equipment assets in the current year, long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets were tested for recoverability. Long-lived assets with a book value of $32.7 million were measured at a fair value of $22.8 million, resulting in impairment charges of $9.9 million in 2020. Assets with a book value of $0.3 million were measured at a fair value of $0.2 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.1 million in 2019. 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, 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 real estate brokers.

12


In the second quarter of 2019 the Company announced a plan to reposition the Caito Fresh Production operations and to close the Fresh Kitchen. As a result of this plan, the Company evaluated the related indefinite-lived trade name and long-lived assets for potential impairment. The indefinite-lived trade name with a book value of $35.5 million was measured at a fair value of $21.5 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $14.0 million. During this test, the Company concluded the long-lived assets were not impaired. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, and as needed if an indicator of potential impairment exists. Indefinite lived intangible assets are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as further described in Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements. Fair value of indefinite-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows, 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 and, in the case of indefinite-lived trade name assets, estimated royalty rates. The Company has evaluated assets held for sale as of July 11, 2020 and concluded that the Fresh Kitchen facility meets the requirements for held for sale classification. Assets classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet are valued at the expected net proceeds and are evaluated each quarter, resulting in the impairment of equipment described in the section above.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 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. See Note 6 for discussion of the fair value measurements related to long- or indefinite-lived asset impairment charges. At July 11, 2020 and December 28, 2019 the book value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs, were as follows:

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 contributes to the Central States Southeast and Southwest Pension Fund (“Central States Plan” or “the Plan”), a multi-employer pension plan, based on obligations arising from its collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”) in Bellefontaine, Ohio, Lima, Ohio, and Grand Rapids, Michigan covering its supply chain associates at those locations. This Plan provides retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The benefits are paid from assets held in trust for that purpose. Trustees are appointed by contributing employers and unions; however, SpartanNash is not a trustee. The trustees typically are responsible for determining the level of benefits to be provided to participants, as well as for such matters as the investment of the assets and the administration of the plan. The Company currently contributes to the Central States Plan under the terms outlined in the “Primary Schedule” of Central States’ Rehabilitation Plan or those outlined in the “Default Schedule.” Both the Primary and Default schedules require varying increases in employer contributions over the previous year’s contribution. Increases are set within the CBAs and vary by location. The Plan continues to be in red zone status, and according to the Pension Protection Act (“PPA”), is considered to be in “critical and declining” zone status. Among other factors, plans in the “critical and declining” zone are generally less than 65% funded and are projected to become insolvent within the next 15 years (or 20 years depending on the ratio of active-to-inactive participants). Based on the most recent information available to the Company, management believes that the present value of actuarial accrued liabilities in this multi-employer plan significantly exceeds the value of the assets held in trust to pay benefits. Because SpartanNash is one of a number of employers contributing to this plan, it is difficult to ascertain what the exact amount of the underfunding would be. Management is not aware of any significant change in funding levels since December 28, 2019. To reduce this underfunding, management expects increases in expense as a result of required incremental multi-employer pension plan contributions in future years. Any adjustment for withdrawal liability will 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 11, 2020, the Company recognized net periodic postretirement benefit costs of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the SpartanNash Retiree Medical Plan (“Retiree Medical Plan”). The Company also realized a gain of $1.0 million in the 28-week period ended July 11, 2020 related to a refund from the annuity provider associated with the final reconciliation of participant data of the terminated SpartanNash Company Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”). In addition to the other remaining assets in the pension trust, these funds will be used to satisfy obligations associated with other qualified retirement programs. During the 12- and 28-week periods ended July 13, 2019, the Company recognized net periodic pension expense of $8.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively, related to the Pension Plan and net periodic postretirement benefit costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the Retiree Medical Plan. Substantially all of these amounts are included in Postretirement benefit expense (income) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company expects to make total contributions of approximately $0.5 million in 2020 to the Retiree Medical Plan and has made $0.2 million in the year-to-date period. 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.

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 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019 were $3.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Company’s contributions during the 28-week periods ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019 were $8.1 million and $8.2 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 6.3% and 30.3% for the 12 weeks ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 4.3% and -72.5% for the 28 weeks ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019, respectively. The difference from the federal statutory rate in the current year was primarily the result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, and related tax planning, as well as federal tax credits, partially offset by state taxes and stock-based compensation. In the prior year, the difference from the federal statutory rate was primarily due to significant discrete book losses and impairments with corresponding tax effects which occurred during the quarter and changed the year-to-date tax rate.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation to provide economic stimulus and support businesses and individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, referred to as the CARES Act. In connection with initial analysis of the impact of the CARES Act, the Company recorded a net discrete income tax benefit of $4.3 million during the first quarter of 2020, associated with the additional deductibility of certain expenses combined with provisions which enable companies to carry back tax losses to years prior to the

14


enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”), where the federal statutory income tax rate was 35%. Further analysis of the timing of the deduction of certain expenses, which may also be carried back to years prior to Tax Reform, resulted in recording an additional discrete income tax benefit of $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Note 11 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company previously sponsored a shareholder-approved stock incentive plan (the “2015 Plan”) that provided for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, and other stock-based and stock-related awards to directors, officers and other key associates. On May 20, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved a new stock incentive plan (“the 2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance share units, dividend equivalent rights, and other stock-based and stock-related awards to directors, employees, or contractors of the Company, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The 2020 Plan provides for 1,635,000 newly reserved shares plus 736,578 shares previously available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized and included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and related tax impacts were as follows:

Note 12 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Outstanding nonvested restricted stock awards under the 2015 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 Plan do not contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are therefore not classified as participating securities. The dilutive impact of these awards is presented below, as applicable. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations:

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019, except for the following risk factor which should be considered in conjunction with those previously disclosed:

Disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could have an adverse impact on the Company's operations and financial results.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020 the President of the United States declared a national emergency relating to the disease. In addition to the President’s declaration, state and local authorities recommended social distancing and imposed quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. While these measures were designed to protect the overall public health, they had material adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies and has resulted in the United States entering a period of recession.

While the Company is an essential business and has seen significant increases in sales volume during the pandemic, its business may be negatively impacted by the several factors associated with the disease outbreak and the related effects on the retail grocery and wholesale distribution industries. These impacts may include:

 

Increased costs due to significant increases in customer traffic and demand for grocery products, and the corresponding inability to meet demand with the existing workforce or other assets;

 

Failure of third parties on which the Company relies, including its customers, suppliers, contractors, commercial banks and other business partners to meet their obligations to the Company, which may be caused by their own financial or operational challenges;

 

Supply chain risks due to significantly increased demand, including the availability of warehouse and transportation personnel and service providers or the inability to procure adequate quantities of certain goods;

 

Reduced workforce or temporary store and distribution center closures associated with the presence of COVID-19 infections among the Company’s associates; or

 

Inability to accurately forecast financial results due to the uncertainty associated with the short- and long-term effects on the U.S. economy, consumer behavior and the unknown duration of social distancing, quarantine or isolation measures or the lasting effects that may result after such mandates have been removed.

 

Increased and accelerated competition from alternative channels, including e-commerce retailers, due to a change in consumer behavior and continued social distancing. 

Any of the foregoing factors, or other effects of the pandemic that are not currently foreseeable, may materially increase costs, negatively impact sales and damage the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and its liquidity position. The significance and duration of any such impacts are not possible to predict due to the overall uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 28, 2019.

Overview

SpartanNash, headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a leading multi-regional grocery distributor and grocery retailer whose core businesses include distributing grocery products to a diverse group of independent and chain retailers, its corporate owned retail stores, military commissaries and exchanges in the United States, as well as operating a premier fresh produce distribution network. The Company operates three reportable business segments: Food Distribution, Retail and Military. The Company serves customers in all 50 states.

The Company’s Food Distribution segment provides a wide variety of nationally branded and private brand grocery products and perishable food products to independent grocers, the Company’s corporate owned retail stores, national retailers, food service distributors, and other customers. The Food Distribution segment primarily conducts business in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States.

18


As of the end of the second quarter, the Company’s Retail segment operated 155 corporate owned retail stores in the Midwest region primarily under the banners of Family Fare, Martin’s Super Markets, VG’s Grocery, D&W Fresh Market and Dan’s Supermarket. The Company also offered pharmacy services in 97 of its corporate owned retail stores and operated 37 fuel centers. The retail stores have a “neighborhood market” focus to distinguish them from supercenters and limited assortment stores. The Company’s Customer First strategy is focused on meeting changing customer needs and preferences through a data-based decision-making process, while also increasing customer satisfaction through quality service and convenience.

The Company’s Military segment contracts with manufacturers to distribute a wide variety of grocery products primarily to military commissaries and exchanges located in the United States, the District of Columbia, Europe, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Bahrain, Djibouti and Egypt. The Company distributes grocery products to 160 military commissaries and over 400 exchanges and, together with its third-party partner, Coastal Pacific Food Distributors, represents the only delivery solution to service the Defense Commissary Agency (“DeCA”) worldwide. The Company is the exclusive worldwide supplier of private brand products to U.S. military commissaries and is continuing to partner with DeCA in the rollout of private brand products to military commissaries, which began during the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

All fiscal quarters are 12 weeks, except for the Company’s first quarter, which is 16 weeks and will generally include the Easter holiday. Fiscal 2020 will contain 53 weeks; therefore, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 will contain 13 weeks. The fourth quarter includes the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and depending on the fiscal year end, may include the New Year’s holiday.

In certain geographic areas, the Company’s sales and operating performance may vary with seasonality. Many stores are dependent on tourism and therefore, are most affected by seasons and weather patterns, including, but not limited to, the amount and timing of snowfall during the winter months and the range of temperature during the summer months. Travel restrictions and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also impact the performance of these stores.

2020 Second Quarter Highlights

The Company’s top priority continues to be the well-being and safety of its family of associates, customers and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. SpartanNash is incredibly proud of its family of associates for their dedication to serve local customers and communities during this unprecedented time of need and respond to the dramatic increase in demand for food, pharmacy, household and personal care products. Collaboration across the organization and the strength and resiliency of its people drove execution in a dynamic operating environment as SpartanNash supported the surge in consumer demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic, also resulting in improved profitability in the second quarter.

Key financial and operational highlights for the quarter and fiscal year-to-date include the following:

 

Net sales growth of 9.4% to $2.18 billion from $2.00 billion in the prior year quarter, representing the seventeenth consecutive quarter of growth.

 

Retail comparable store sales of 17.1% in the second quarter were positive for the fourth consecutive quarter, representing a continuation of trends driven by impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the quarter, the Company experienced growth in eCommerce of greater than 300% and realized growth of over 24% in private label sales, trends that continued from the first quarter, subsequent to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Food Distribution segment sales growth was 16.5% for the quarter due to increased demand associated with the impact of COVID-19 as well as sales growth with existing customers.

 

Operating earnings were $34.0 million in the second quarter, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting the significant increase in demand associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The Company generated cash from operating activities of $198.2 million for the year-to-date period, leading to a reduction in net long-term debt of $141.3 million. These reductions, combined with increased profitability, resulted in an improvement in net long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA from 3.7x at the end of 2019 to 2.5x at the end of the second quarter of 2020, calculated on a trailing thirteen period basis.

 

The Company recently made the decision to exit the Caito Fresh Cut operations. Wind down of the operations began in March 2020 and was complete as of the end of the first quarter. The Company incurred $10.6 million in asset impairment charges, severance costs and operating losses during the wind down period.

 

During the first quarter the Company executed cost saving initiatives, which included a voluntary early retirement program, as well as a reduction-in-force. These actions are expected to result in longer-term cost savings, however resulted in $5.2 million in incremental expense in the year-to-date period.

 

19


For the 53-week fiscal year ending January 2, 2021, the Company continues to expect to benefit from higher consumer food-at-home consumption related to the effects of COVID-19, however, the duration and magnitude of the impact remain uncertain. Given this uncertainty, the Company is unable to fully estimate the impact COVID-19 will have on sales for the remainder of 2020, although it believes sales will materially exceed its initial 2020 guidance. The Company is updating its annual outlook, from what was previously provided on May 27, 2020, to reflect actual year-to-date financial results, as well as expectations for the remainder of the fiscal year related to earnings trends. Specifically, these updates include incremental adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations for the COVID-19 impact experienced to-date, as well as an estimate for the remainder of fiscal 2020.

Net sales for the quarter ended July 11, 2020 (the “second quarter”) increased $188.2 million, or 9.4%, to $2.18 billion from $2.00 billion in the quarter ended July 13, 2019 (the “prior year quarter”). Net sales for the year-to-date period ended July 11, 2020 (the “year-to-date period”) increased $502.3 million, or 11.1%, to $5.04 billion from $4.54 billion in the year-to-date period ended July 13, 2019 (the “prior year-to-date period”). The increases were driven primarily by incremental sales related to consumer behavior associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in the first quarter, as well as growth with existing customers in the Food Distribution segment.

Food Distribution net sales increased $154.5 million, or 16.5%, to $1.09 billion in the second quarter from $0.94 billion in the prior year quarter. Net sales for the year-to-date period increased $354.7 million, or 16.9%, to $2.46 billion in the year-to-date period from $2.10 billion in the prior year-to-date period. The increases were due to incremental volume associated with increased consumer demand related to COVID-19, as well as sales growth with existing customers.

20


Retail net sales increased $61.3 million, or 10.8%, to $631.3 million in the second quarter from $570.0 million in the prior year quarter. Net sales for the year-to-date period increased $142.1 million, or 11.2%, from $1.27 billion in the prior year-to-date period to $1.41 billion. The increases in net sales were primarily due to incremental sales volume associated with increased consumer demand related to COVID-19, as discussed above. Comparable store sales were 17.1% for the quarter and 16.3% for the year-to-date period and were partially offset by the impact of lower fuel prices and gallons sold, as well as store closures. 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. 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.

Military net sales decreased $27.6 million, or 5.6%, to $463.0 million in the second quarter from $490.6 million in the prior year quarter. Net sales for the year-to-date period increased $5.4 million, or 0.5%, from $1.16 billion in the prior year-to-date period to $1.17 billion. For the quarter, growth in export sales was more than offset by the impact of domestic base access and commissary shopping restrictions related to COVID-19 precautions. The increase for the year-to-date period was due to increased volume resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic primarily during the first quarter, partially offset by the impact of commissary and base closures during the second quarter and lower comparable sales at Defense Commissary Agency (“DeCA”) operated locations prior to the onset of the pandemic.

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. For the Company’s food processing operations, cost of sales includes direct product and production costs, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving costs, utilities, depreciation, and other indirect production costs and excludes out-bound freight 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 distribution segments include shipping and handling costs in the Selling, general and administrative section of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Gross profit increased $49.4 million, or 17.1%, to $338.4 million in the second quarter from $289.0 million in the prior year quarter. As a percent of net sales, gross profit was 15.5% compared to 14.5% in the prior year quarter. Gross profit for the year-to-date period increased $95.2 million, or 14.3%, from $666.7 million in the prior year-to-date period to $761.9 million in the current year. As a percent of net sales, gross profit for the year-to-date period was 15.1% compared to 14.7% in the prior year-to-date period. The second quarter change in gross profit rate was driven by the increase in Retail segment sales in proportion to total Company sales, which traditionally generate higher margin rates, as well as a reduced rate of inventory shrink in the Retail segment. The year-to-date improvement was driven by the increase in the proportion of Retail segment sales, as well as improved margin rates in the Retail and Military segments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages, employee benefits, facility costs, shipping and handling, equipment rental, depreciation (to the extent not included in cost of sales), out-bound freight and other administrative expenses.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter increased $34.2 million, or 12.9%, to $300.7 million in the second quarter from $266.5 million in the prior year quarter, representing 13.8% of net sales in the second quarter compared to 13.4% in the prior year quarter. SG&A expenses for the year-to-date period increased $65.1 million, or 10.4%, from $626.9 million in the prior year-to-date period to $692.0 million, and decreased from 13.8% as a percentage of net sales in the prior year-to-date period to 13.7% in the current year-to-date period. The increase in expenses as a rate of sales compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to increases in incentive compensation due to improved overall Company performance as well as increases in supply chain expenses as a rate to sales, partially offset by increased leverage of expenses from higher sales volume, particularly store labor and certain fixed costs. The decrease in expenses as a rate of sales for the year-to-date period was primarily due to improved operating leverage related to store labor and other operating expenses, as well as lower healthcare costs, partially offset by incremental incentive compensation expense, including incremental pay for frontline associates, and severance costs associated with cost-saving initiatives.

Merger/Acquisition and Integration – Prior year quarter results included $0.6 million of merger/acquisition and integration expenses. The prior year-to-date period included $1.4 million of merger/acquisition and integration expenses. These expenses are mainly associated with the acquisition and integration of Martin’s Supermarkets.

21


Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairment – Second quarter and prior year quarter results included charges of $3.7 million and $14.6 million, respectively, of restructuring and asset impairment activity. The year-to-date period and the prior year-to-date period included charges of $13.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of restructuring and asset impairment activity. The current year activity consists primarily of asset impairment charges and severance costs related to the restructuring of the Company’s Fresh Production business, as well as store closing charges. The prior year quarter and prior year-to-date amounts consist primarily of asset impairment charges associated with the decision to exit the Fresh Kitchen operations. The prior year-to-date charges are partially offset by gains on the sale of a previously closed distribution center.

Operating earnings increased $26.6 million, or 360.9% to $34.0 million in the second quarter from $7.4 million in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the year-to-date period increased $26.4 million, or 89.3%, to $56.0 million from $29.6 million in the prior year-to-date period. The second quarter increase was primarily a result of increased sales volume, as well as improved margin rates and lower restructuring charges, partially offset by incentive compensation and a higher supply chain expenses as a rate to sales. The year-to-date period increase was primarily due to increased sales volume partially offset by higher incentive compensation and restructuring charges.

Food Distribution operating earnings increased $14.1 million, or 5,197.4%, to $14.4 million in the second quarter from $0.3 million in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the year-to-date period increased $0.9 million, or 3.8%, to $25.8 million from $24.9 million in the prior year-to-date period. The second quarter increase was due to asset impairment charges associated with changes to the Fresh Production business in the prior year quarter, a current year quarter increase in sales volume associated with the impacts of COVID-19, as well as cycling prior year operational losses in the Fresh Production business, partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense and higher supply chain expenses as a rate to sales. For the year-to-date period the increase in sales volume and cycling of prior year operational losses in the Fresh Production business was offset by higher incentive compensation and asset impairment expenses.

Retail operating earnings increased $15.8 million, or 181.0% to $24.5 million in the second quarter from $8.7 million in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the year-to-date period increased $29.2 million, or 371.1%, to $37.1 million from $7.9 million in the prior year-to-date period. The increases in operating earnings were primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume, improvements in labor and margin rates, including inventory shrink, and lower healthcare costs, partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense and compensation for frontline workers.

Military operating loss increased $3.3 million, or 205.1% to $4.9 million in the second quarter from $1.6 million in the prior year quarter. Operating loss for the year-to-date period increased $3.7 million, or 118.2%, to $6.9 million from $3.2 million in the prior year-to-date period. The increases were primarily attributable to increases in the rate of supply chain expenses, including additional compensation for frontline workers and additional sanitation measures, partially offset by improved margin rates.

Interest Expense – Interest expense decreased $5.1 million, or 58.0%, to $3.7 million in the second quarter from $8.7 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense for the year-to-date period decreased $9.3 million, or 45.1% from $20.6 million in the prior year-to-date period to $11.3 million. The decreases in interest expense were due to rate decreases executed by the Federal Reserve during 2019 as well as during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and decreases in the average debt balance.

Income Taxes – The effective income tax rates were 6.3% and 30.3% for the second quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. For the year-to-date period and prior year-to-date period, the effective income tax rates were 4.3% and -72.5%, respectively. The difference from the federal statutory rate in the current year primarily resulted from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, and related tax planning, as well as federal tax credits, partially offset by state taxes and stock-based compensation. In the prior year, the difference from the federal statutory rate was primarily due to significant discrete book losses and impairments with corresponding tax effects which occurred during the quarter and changed the year-to-date tax rate.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation to provide economic stimulus and support businesses and individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, referred to as the CARES Act. In connection with initial analysis of the impact of the CARES Act, the Company recorded a net discrete income tax benefit of $4.3 million during the first quarter of 2020, associated with the additional deductibility of certain expenses combined with provisions which enable companies to carry back tax losses to years prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”), when the federal statutory income tax rate was 35%. Further analysis of the timing of the deduction of certain expenses, which may also be carried back to years prior to Tax Reform, resulted in recording an additional discrete income tax benefit of $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.

22


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, 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 “Fresh Cut operating losses” subsequent to the decision to exit these operations during the first quarter, severance associated with cost reduction initiatives , and fees paid to a third-party advisory firm associated with Project One Team, the Company’s initiative to drive growth while increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Pension termination income related to a refund from the annuity provider associated with the final reconciliation of participant data is excluded from adjusted earnings from continuing operations. These items are considered “non-operational” or “non-core” in nature. Prior year adjusted operating earnings, adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA exclude costs associated with organizational realignment, which include significant changes to the Company’s management team. Also excluded are the fees paid to a third-party advisory firm associated with Project One Team, the Company’s initiative to drive growth while increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Pension termination costs, primarily related to non-operating settlement expense associated with the distribution of pension assets, are excluded from adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and to a lesser extent adjusted operating earnings.

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 adjusted operating earnings format.

Adjusted operating earnings is not a measure of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data. The Company’s definition of adjusted operating earnings may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted Earnings from Continuing Operations

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that the Company defines as earnings from continuing operations 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Following is a reconciliation of earnings (loss) from continuing operations to adjusted earnings from continuing operations for the 12 and 28 weeks ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019.

(a)

The income tax effect on adjustments is computed by applying the effective tax rate, before discrete tax items, to the total adjustments for the period.

 

(b)

Represents tax impacts attributable to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, and related tax planning, primarily related to additional deductions and the utilization of net operating loss carryback.

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 deferred (stock) compensation, the LIFO provision, as well as 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 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased during the current year-to-date period from the prior year-to-date period by approximately $94.4 million primarily due to reductions in working capital and improved profitability.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $80.8 million in the current year compared to the prior year primarily due to the acquisition of Martin’s in the prior year.

Capital expenditures were $30.6 million in the current year and cloud computing application development spend, which is included in operating activities, was $5.0 million, compared to capital expenditures of $31.8 million in the prior year. The Company expects full fiscal year 2020 capital expenditures and cloud computing application development spend to range from $80.0 million to $90.0 million. The Food Distribution, Retail and Military segments utilized 37.2%, 49.6% and 13.2% of capital expenditures, respectively, in the current year.

Net cash used in financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities increased $166.2 million in the current year compared to the prior year primarily due to payment of debt balances in the current year, which were funded from cash provided by operating activities, as well as borrowings to fund the Martin’s acquisition in the prior year.

Debt Management

Total debt, including finance lease liabilities, was $557.7 million and $688.6 million as of July 11, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. The decrease in total debt was due to increased payments from cash provided by operating activities.

Liquidity

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and its senior secured credit facility. As of July 11, 2020, the senior secured credit facility had outstanding borrowings of $513.1 million. 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 $333.0 million at July 11, 2020. 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 $14.2 million were outstanding as of July 11, 2020. The credit facility matures December 18, 2023 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 1.56-to-1 at July 11, 2020 compared to 1.76-to-1 at December 28, 2019, and its investment in working capital was $381.3 million at July 11, 2020 compared to $431.5 million at December 28, 2019. Net debt to total capital ratio was 0.42-to-1 at July 11, 2020 compared to 0.49-to-1 at December 28, 2019.

Net long-term debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as long-term debt and finance lease liabilities, plus current maturities of long-term debt and finance lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. The ratio of net debt to capital is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by dividing net debt, as defined previously, by total capital (net 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 debt is not a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies.

Following is a reconciliation of “Long-term debt and finance lease liabilities” to Net long-term debt as of July 11, 2020 and December 28, 2019.

For information on contractual obligations, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019. At July 11, 2020, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business.

Cash Dividends

During the quarter ended July 11, 2020, the Company declared $6.9 million in dividends and declared $13.9 million for the year-to-date period. A 1.3% increase in the quarterly dividend rate from $0.19 per share to $0.1925 per share was approved by the Board of Directors and announced on February 27, 2020. 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 10% 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 11, 2020. These commitments consist primarily of purchase commitments (as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019), standby letters of credit of $11.7 million as of July 11, 2020, 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 28, 2019 should be reviewed as they are integral to the 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 28, 2019.

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 28, 2019.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was performed as of July 11, 2020 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of SpartanNash Company’s management, including its Interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”). As of the Evaluation Date, SpartanNash Company’s management, including the CEO, CFO and CAO, 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 officers as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the second quarter of 2020 there were no changes in SpartanNash’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, SpartanNash’s internal control over financial reporting. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the Company’s associates began working from home during the first quarter of 2020. Management has taken measures to ensure that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting remained effective and were not materially affected.

This Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the date specified in the individual grant summary, by and between SpartanNash Company, a Michigan corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “SpartanNash”) and the person specified in the individual grant summary, a non‑employee Director of SpartanNash (the “Director” or “you”).

 

SpartanNash has adopted the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which permits the grant of an award of Shares of Restricted Stock.  Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

Vesting Dates:Cumulative Shares Vested:
May 26, 2021100%

Except as provided in Section 3 below, Unvested Restricted Stock shall be cancelled and forfeited if, at any time within the Restricted Period, your service on the Board terminates for any reason.

EXHIBIT 10.1

b.In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), if this Award Agreement is not assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change in Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board, then the Shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately become fully vested and delivered to you.  If this Award Agreement is assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change in Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board, and if on or after the effective date of the Change in Control, your service with the Board ends (either by resignation or removal under circumstances other than for Cause, as defined in the Plan), the Shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately become fully vested and delivered to you.

 

4.Miscellaneous.

 

a.You shall have the right to vote the Shares of Restricted Stock.  During the Restricted Period, you will accrue dividend equivalent amounts equal in value to the dividends you would have received in the absence of any Restrictions.  The dividend equivalents, and any other non‑cash dividends or distributions paid, with respect to a given Share of unvested Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same Restrictions as those relating to that Share of Restricted Stock granted under this Agreement.  After the Restricted Period ends with respect to that Share of Restricted Stock, you will receive cash equal to the value of the dividend equivalents that were accrued with respect to that Share, and you will have all shareholder rights, including the right to transfer the Share, subject to such conditions as SpartanNash may reasonably specify to ensure compliance with federal and state securities laws.

 

b.Shares of Restricted Stock issued hereunder shall at all times remain subject to any SpartanNash recoupment or recovery policy, as well as any policy on hedging and pledging, as such policies may be amended from time to time.

 

c.Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by appropriate entry on the books of SpartanNash or a duly authorized transfer agent of SpartanNash (without a paper certificate).

 

d.Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall (i) be deemed to give you a right to remain a Director of SpartanNash, (ii) restrict the right of SpartanNash to discharge you, with or without cause, or (iii) be deemed to be a written contract of employment or service.

 

e.SpartanNash, in its sole discretion, may decide to deliver any documents related to the Restricted Stock or other awards granted to you under the Plan by electronic means.  You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on‑line or electronic system established and maintained by SpartanNash or a third party designated by SpartanNash.  The third-party administrator may send user ID, password and trading PIN information to new participants directly via regular mail.

g.This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Michigan without regard to the application of any choice-of-law rules that would result in the application of another state’s laws.  In any action brought by SpartanNash under or relating to this Agreement, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts in, at the election of SpartanNash, (i) the State of Michigan and (ii) any state and county in which SpartanNash contends that you have breached this Agreement.  In any action brought by you under or relating to this Agreement, SpartanNash consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts of the State of Michigan, County of Kent.

e.In order to provide SpartanNash with the opportunity to claim the benefit of any income tax deduction which may be available to it and in order to comply with all applicable laws or regulations, SpartanNash may take such actions as it deems appropriate to ensure that, if necessary, all required federal, state, local or foreign payroll, employment, income or other withholding taxes are withheld or collected from you (“Tax‑Related Items”).  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, such withholding shall be accomplished by withholding of Shares that would otherwise be released upon vesting having a Fair Market Value equal to the Tax‑Related Items.

EXHIBIT 10.2

You agree that the restrictions above are necessary to ensure the protection and continuity of the business and goodwill of SpartanNash, and that the restrictions are reasonable as to geography, duration and scope.

4.Other Terms and Conditions

a.Coordination with Other Agreements. This document, together with the 2020 SpartanNash Stock Incentive Plan and any award letter issued thereunder, sets forth the entire agreement between you and SpartanNash with respect to its subject matter, and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, representations, proposals, agreements and understandings of every kind and nature between you and SpartanNash with respect to its subject matter; except that, this Agreement does not impair, diminish, restrict or waive any other restrictive covenant, nondisclosure obligation or confidentiality obligation you have to SpartanNash under any other agreement, policy, plan or program of SpartanNash, all of which remain in effect and constitute separate, enforceable obligations.  You and SpartanNash represent that, in executing this Agreement, you and SpartanNash have not relied upon any representations or statements made, other than those set forth in this document, with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Agreement.

b.Severability; “Blue Penciling”.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, then any such provision will be construed by limiting and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law and then so enforced.  If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.  A determination in any jurisdiction that this Agreement, in whole or in part, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable will not in any way affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

c.Waiver.  SpartanNash’s failure to enforce any term, provision or covenant of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver.  Waiver by SpartanNash of any breach or default by you or any other person will not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default.

d.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon SpartanNash, any successor organization which shall succeed to SpartanNash by acquisition, merger, consolidation or operation of law, or by acquisition of assets of SpartanNash and any assigns of SpartanNash.  You may not assign your obligations under this Agreement.

e.Modification; Amendment.  This Agreement may not be changed orally, but may be changed only in a writing signed by you and an officer of SpartanNash holding the title of Senior Vice President or any more senior position.

f.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Michigan without regard to the application of any choice‑of‑law rules that would result in the application of another state’s laws.  In any action brought by SpartanNash under or relating to this Agreement, you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts in, at the election of SpartanNash, (i) the State of Michigan and (ii) any state and county in which SpartanNash contends that you have breached this Agreement.  In any action brought by you under or relating to this Agreement, SpartanNash consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts of the State of Michigan, County of Kent.

EXHIBIT 10.2

g.Relief.  In addition, you agree that SpartanNash would suffer irreparable harm if you were to breach, or threaten to breach, your agreements in Section 3 above and that SpartanNash would by reason of such breach, or threatened breach, be entitled to injunctive relief in an appropriate court, without the need to post any bond, and you consent to the entry of injunctive relief prohibiting you from breaching your agreements in Section 3 above.  You also agree that SpartanNash may claim and recover money damages in addition to injunctive relief.  Furthermore, in the event you were to breach, or threaten to breach, any of your agreements in Section 3 above, all Shares of the Restricted Stock subject to the Restrictions will be forfeited.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

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 28, 2019.

 

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 11, 2020, 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, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the uncertainty of the magnitude and duration of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates. 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 2020 and 2019 include the results of operations of the Company for the 12- and 28-week periods ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019, respectively.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]  
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard requires entities to use a forward-looking “expected loss” model that replaces the previous “incurred loss” model, which generally results in the earlier recognition of credit losses.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted this standard through the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the fiscal year. As a result of the adoption, the Company has established revised processes and controls to estimate expected losses for trade and other receivables in accordance with the new standard. The Company’s process for estimating losses for trade and other receivables includes an evaluation of both historical collection experience and expectations for current credit risks based on several customer and environmental factors.

The adoption of the standard resulted in a transition adjustment to beginning of the year retained earnings of $2.2 million (gross of the deferred tax impact of $0.6 million). The transition adjustment relates to incremental trade and notes receivable allowances due to the earlier recognition of expected losses under the new standard of $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Changes in the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows:

The Company has evaluated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in performing its quarterly evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. While the duration and impact of these affects is uncertain, the Company did not deem it necessary to record incremental allowances for doubtful accounts as no additional credit exposures were identified.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that are no longer considered to be cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may advance funds to certain independent retailers which are earned by the retailers primarily through achieving specified purchase volume requirements, as outlined in their supply agreements with the Company, or in limited instances, for remaining a SpartanNash customer for a specified time period. These advances must be repaid if the purchase volume requirements are not met or if the retailer no longer remains a customer for the specified time period. 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. Realizability of the advances, or collectability in event of default, is not assured and is dependent on the financial condition of the customer, economic and industry factors and the quality of the underlying collateral. No reserves related to the realizability or collectability of customer advances were necessary as of July 11, 2020. 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 “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Other assets, net” on the Company’s balance sheets.

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 30 days, depending on the type of customer and relationship. 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 under ASC 606 to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. As such, 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.

Acquisitions

Note 4 Acquisitions

On December 31, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Martin’s Super Markets, Inc. (“Martin’s”) for $86.7 million, net of $7.8 million of cash acquired. Acquired assets consist primarily of property and equipment of $55.0 million, intangible assets of $23.9 million, and working capital. Intangible assets are primarily composed of an indefinite-lived trade name of $20.6 million and pharmacy customer prescription lists of $3.1 million which are amortized over seven years. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date based on preliminary estimates, which were subsequently finalized during the fourth quarter of 2019. No goodwill was recorded related to the acquisition. The Company incurred $1.2 million of merger/acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition in the prior year-to-date period. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from the Company’s Credit Agreement.

Martin’s operates supermarkets in Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan. Martin’s was an independent retailer and customer of the Company’s Food Distribution segment prior to the acquisition.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Note 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company has three reporting units; however, no goodwill exists within the Retail or Military reporting units. The carrying amount of goodwill recorded within the Food Distribution reporting unit was $181.0 million as of July 11, 2020 and December 28, 2019.

 

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 a risk of impairment. 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.

The Company has indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not amortized, consisting primarily of indefinite-lived trade names and licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages. The carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets was $76.3 million as of July 11, 2020 and December 28, 2019.

(a)  Asset impairment charges in the current year were incurred primarily in the Food Distribution segment and relate to the exit of the Fresh Cut business and the sale of certain equipment assets of the previously closed Fresh Kitchen facility, which totaled $9.9 million. These impairments were partially offset by recoveries of $0.3 million related to the re-opening of a previously impaired distribution center. In the prior year, charges primarily relate to the repositioning of the Fresh Production operations within the Food Distribution segment.

(b)  The charge on the customer advance relates to an advance to an independent retailer customer which was not fully recoverable.

(c)  Gain on sales of assets in the prior year primarily relates to the sale of a previously closed distribution center in the Food Distribution segment.

(d)  Severance in the current year was related to the exit of the Fresh Cut business.

(e)  Other costs primarily relate to the Fresh Cut and store closings in the current year, and a Food Distribution warehouse and store closings in the prior year.

(f)  Changes in estimates primarily relate to revised estimates for turnover and other lease ancillary costs associated with previously closed locations, due to deterioration of the condition of certain properties.   

Long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. In connection primarily with the Company’s exit of the Fresh Cut operations and planned sales of certain Fresh Kitchen equipment assets in the current year, long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets were tested for recoverability. Long-lived assets with a book value of $32.7 million were measured at a fair value of $22.8 million, resulting in impairment charges of $9.9 million in 2020. Assets with a book value of $0.3 million were measured at a fair value of $0.2 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.1 million in 2019. 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, 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 real estate brokers.

In the second quarter of 2019 the Company announced a plan to reposition the Caito Fresh Production operations and to close the Fresh Kitchen. As a result of this plan, the Company evaluated the related indefinite-lived trade name and long-lived assets for potential impairment. The indefinite-lived trade name with a book value of $35.5 million was measured at a fair value of $21.5 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $14.0 million. During this test, the Company concluded the long-lived assets were not impaired. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, and as needed if an indicator of potential impairment exists. Indefinite lived intangible assets are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as further described in Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements. Fair value of indefinite-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows, 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 and, in the case of indefinite-lived trade name assets, estimated royalty rates. The Company has evaluated assets held for sale as of July 11, 2020 and concluded that the Fresh Kitchen facility meets the requirements for held for sale classification. Assets classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet are valued at the expected net proceeds and are evaluated each quarter, resulting in the impairment of equipment described in the section above.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 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. See Note 6 for discussion of the fair value measurements related to long- or indefinite-lived asset impairment charges. At July 11, 2020 and December 28, 2019 the book value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs, were as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies

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 contributes to the Central States Southeast and Southwest Pension Fund (“Central States Plan” or “the Plan”), a multi-employer pension plan, based on obligations arising from its collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”) in Bellefontaine, Ohio, Lima, Ohio, and Grand Rapids, Michigan covering its supply chain associates at those locations. This Plan provides retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The benefits are paid from assets held in trust for that purpose. Trustees are appointed by contributing employers and unions; however, SpartanNash is not a trustee. The trustees typically are responsible for determining the level of benefits to be provided to participants, as well as for such matters as the investment of the assets and the administration of the plan. The Company currently contributes to the Central States Plan under the terms outlined in the “Primary Schedule” of Central States’ Rehabilitation Plan or those outlined in the “Default Schedule.” Both the Primary and Default schedules require varying increases in employer contributions over the previous year’s contribution. Increases are set within the CBAs and vary by location. The Plan continues to be in red zone status, and according to the Pension Protection Act (“PPA”), is considered to be in “critical and declining” zone status. Among other factors, plans in the “critical and declining” zone are generally less than 65% funded and are projected to become insolvent within the next 15 years (or 20 years depending on the ratio of active-to-inactive participants). Based on the most recent information available to the Company, management believes that the present value of actuarial accrued liabilities in this multi-employer plan significantly exceeds the value of the assets held in trust to pay benefits. Because SpartanNash is one of a number of employers contributing to this plan, it is difficult to ascertain what the exact amount of the underfunding would be. Management is not aware of any significant change in funding levels since December 28, 2019. To reduce this underfunding, management expects increases in expense as a result of required incremental multi-employer pension plan contributions in future years. Any adjustment for withdrawal liability will 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 11, 2020, the Company recognized net periodic postretirement benefit costs of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the SpartanNash Retiree Medical Plan (“Retiree Medical Plan”). The Company also realized a gain of $1.0 million in the 28-week period ended July 11, 2020 related to a refund from the annuity provider associated with the final reconciliation of participant data of the terminated SpartanNash Company Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”). In addition to the other remaining assets in the pension trust, these funds will be used to satisfy obligations associated with other qualified retirement programs. During the 12- and 28-week periods ended July 13, 2019, the Company recognized net periodic pension expense of $8.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively, related to the Pension Plan and net periodic postretirement benefit costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the Retiree Medical Plan. Substantially all of these amounts are included in Postretirement benefit expense (income) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company expects to make total contributions of approximately $0.5 million in 2020 to the Retiree Medical Plan and has made $0.2 million in the year-to-date period. 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.

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 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019 were $3.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Company’s contributions during the 28-week periods ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019 were $8.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. See Note 8 for further information regarding contingencies related to the Company’s participation in the Central States Plan.

Income Taxes

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 6.3% and 30.3% for the 12 weeks ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 4.3% and -72.5% for the 28 weeks ended July 11, 2020 and July 13, 2019, respectively. The difference from the federal statutory rate in the current year was primarily the result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, and related tax planning, as well as federal tax credits, partially offset by state taxes and stock-based compensation. In the prior year, the difference from the federal statutory rate was primarily due to significant discrete book losses and impairments with corresponding tax effects which occurred during the quarter and changed the year-to-date tax rate.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation to provide economic stimulus and support businesses and individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, referred to as the CARES Act. In connection with initial analysis of the impact of the CARES Act, the Company recorded a net discrete income tax benefit of $4.3 million during the first quarter of 2020, associated with the additional deductibility of certain expenses combined with provisions which enable companies to carry back tax losses to years prior to the

enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”), where the federal statutory income tax rate was 35%. Further analysis of the timing of the deduction of certain expenses, which may also be carried back to years prior to Tax Reform, resulted in recording an additional discrete income tax benefit of $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Stock-Based Compensation

Note 11 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company previously sponsored a shareholder-approved stock incentive plan (the “2015 Plan”) that provided for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, and other stock-based and stock-related awards to directors, officers and other key associates. On May 20, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved a new stock incentive plan (“the 2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance share units, dividend equivalent rights, and other stock-based and stock-related awards to directors, employees, or contractors of the Company, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The 2020 Plan provides for 1,635,000 newly reserved shares plus 736,578 shares previously available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

Outstanding nonvested restricted stock awards under the 2015 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 Plan do not contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are therefore not classified as participating securities. The dilutive impact of these awards is presented below, as applicable. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard requires entities to use a forward-looking “expected loss” model that replaces the previous “incurred loss” model, which generally results in the earlier recognition of credit losses.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted this standard through the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the fiscal year. As a result of the adoption, the Company has established revised processes and controls to estimate expected losses for trade and other receivables in accordance with the new standard. The Company’s process for estimating losses for trade and other receivables includes an evaluation of both historical collection experience and expectations for current credit risks based on several customer and environmental factors.

The adoption of the standard resulted in a transition adjustment to beginning of the year retained earnings of $2.2 million (gross of the deferred tax impact of $0.6 million). The transition adjustment relates to incremental trade and notes receivable allowances due to the earlier recognition of expected losses under the new standard of $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Changes in the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows:

The Company has evaluated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in performing its quarterly evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. While the duration and impact of these affects is uncertain, the Company did not deem it necessary to record incremental allowances for doubtful accounts as no additional credit exposures were identified.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that are no longer considered to be cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

(a)  Asset impairment charges in the current year were incurred primarily in the Food Distribution segment and relate to the exit of the Fresh Cut business and the sale of certain equipment assets of the previously closed Fresh Kitchen facility, which totaled $9.9 million. These impairments were partially offset by recoveries of $0.3 million related to the re-opening of a previously impaired distribution center. In the prior year, charges primarily relate to the repositioning of the Fresh Production operations within the Food Distribution segment.

(b)  The charge on the customer advance relates to an advance to an independent retailer customer which was not fully recoverable.

(c)  Gain on sales of assets in the prior year primarily relates to the sale of a previously closed distribution center in the Food Distribution segment.

(d)  Severance in the current year was related to the exit of the Fresh Cut business.

(e)  Other costs primarily relate to the Fresh Cut and store closings in the current year, and a Food Distribution warehouse and store closings in the prior year.

(f)  Changes in estimates primarily relate to revised estimates for turnover and other lease ancillary costs associated with previously closed locations, due to deterioration of the condition of certain properties.
