    Flagged areas: Earnings quality, Solvency & liquidity.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +14.1% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-28.

  • Operating margin improved

    Operating margin changed +1.3 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-28.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $468M.

    Why this surfaced

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

first-reported vs latest filing · periods since 2020-01-01 · 0 changed periods

No period on file has changed between its first report and the latest filing carrying it.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Commitments and contingencies · 4,789 characters as filed

"Commitments and Contingencies The Company is exposed to claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business and uses various methods to resolve these matters that are believed to best serve the interests of the Companys stakeholders. The Companys primary contingencies are associated with self-insurance obligations and litigation matters. Self-insurance liabilities require significant judgment and actual claim settlements and associated expenses may differ from the Companys current provisions for loss. The Company records an accrual for legal contingencies when it determines that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. However, predicting the outcomes of legal matters involves substantial uncertainties. While management currently believes that estimated liabilities recorded are reasonable and not material to the Company, differences in actual outcomes or changes in management's evaluation of estimated liabilities could arise that could be material to the Company's results of operations. Litigation Harvest Sherwood In February 2025, the Company terminated its agreement with Harvest Sherwood Food Distributors, Inc. (Harvest Sherwood) for the distribution of certain meat and seafood products to the Company due to, among other things, Harvest Sherwoods failure to pay the Companys vendors for these products. Subsequently, on February 24, 2025, Harvest Sherwood filed a complaint against the Co

Fair value · 1,724 characters as filed

Fair Value Measurements The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. The Company did not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2026 and December 28, 2025. The determination of fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets for purposes of the Companys goodwill or long-lived asset impairment evaluation is based upon Level 3 inputs. When necessary, the Company uses third party market data and market participant assumptions to derive the fair value of its asset groupings, which primarily include right-of-use lease assets and property and equipment.

Income taxes · 1,477 characters as filed

Income Taxes The Companys effective tax rate increased to 25.8% for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2026, compared to 25.6% for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a reduction in the benefit for share-based compensation in the current year and amended return true up in the prior year quarter partially offset by a decrease in non-deductible executive compensation. The income tax effect resulting from excess tax benefits of share-based payment awards was $0.4 million and $1.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively. The Companys effective tax rate increased to 24.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, compared to 22.9% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a reduction in the benefit for share-based compensation in the current year partially offset by a decrease in non-deductible executive compensation. The income tax effect resulting from excess tax benefits of share-based payment awards was $4.6 million and $14.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026 and June 29, 2025, respectively. The Company files income tax returns for federal purposes and in many states. The Companys tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time, generally three years, following the tax year to which those filings relate.

Segment reporting · 2,305 characters as filed

Segments The Company has one operating segment and, therefore, one reportable segment: healthy grocery stores. The Company derives all its revenues from the sale of products at its various store locations across the United States. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the chief executive officer. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The following table represents the significant expense and key metrics reviewed by the CODM: Thirteen weeks ended Twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 June 28, 2026 June 29, 2025 Net Sales $ 2,325,804 $ 2,220,602 $ 4,654,983 $ 4,457,038 Less: Cost of sales 1,425,156 1,358,002 2,837,059 2,708,075 Direct store expenses 596,556 552,027 1,167,151 1,086,824 Other segment items (1) 129,918 131,217 261,292 256,451 Interest expense/(income), net 68 (431) (61) (1,355) Income tax provision 44,911 46,084 96,623 93,314 Net income $ 129,195 $ 133,703 $ 292,919 $ 313,729 (1) Other segment items include non-store selling, general, and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, store closure costs, and other overhead expenses.

"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition The Companys performance obligations are satisfied upon the transfer of goods to the customer, which occurs at the point of sale, and payment from customers is also due at the time of sale. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a liability at the time of sale and recognized as sales when they are redeemed by the customer, and the performance obligation is satisfied by the Company. The Companys gift cards do not expire. Based on historical redemption rates, a small and relatively stable percentage of gift cards will never be redeemed, referred to as ""breakage."" Estimated breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual gift card redemptions and was not material in any period presented. The outstanding gift card liability balance is included within accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Beginning in July 2025, the Company implemented a customer loyalty program under which customers earn points on qualifying purchases. Points may be redeemed in future periods for rewards to be used for discounts on the Company's products. The loyalty points represent a material right to the customer and are accounted for as a separate performance obligation. At the time of purchase, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to a deferred loyalty liability based on the products' estimated standalone selling price, net of estimated breakage.

Stockholders' equity · 2,597 characters as filed

"Stockholders Equity Share Repurchases On August 13, 2025, the Company's board of directors (the ""Board"") authorized a new $1 billion share repurchase program for its common stock. The new authorization replaced the Company's then-existing share repurchase authorization of $600 million that was due to expire on May 22, 2027, of which $142.6 million remained available upon its replacement, and under which no further shares may be repurchased. The new repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date; however, the Board expects to periodically review the authorization to assess its continued appropriateness in light of the Company's capital allocation priorities, market conditions, alternative investment opportunities, and other factors. The following table outlines the common stock share repurchase programs authorized by the Board and the related repurchase activity and available authorization as of June 28, 2026: Effective date Expiration date Amount authorized Cost of repurchases Authorization available May 22, 2024 May 22, 2027 $ 600,000 $ 457,408 $ August 13, 2025 N/A $ 1,000,000 $ 373,994 $ 626,006 The shares under the Companys current repurchase program may be purchased on a discretionary basis from time to time, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
