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.

Point-in-time ledger

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 On May 2, 2025, the Company filed a Verified Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (the ""Complaint"") against defendants Wakefern and certain members of its senior management (""Wakefern Management,"" and together with Wakefern, the ""Defendants"") in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Middlesex County (the ""Chancery Court""). The matter was captioned Village Super Market, Inc., et al. v. Wakefern Food Corp., et al . In the Complaint, the Company sought to enjoin Wakefern's acquisition of Morton Williams Supermarkets (the ""Acquisition"") on the basis that the Acquisition violates Wakefern's governing documents, which the Company believes prohibits Wakefern from acquiring and operating a retail chain that competes directly with its members. It also challenged certain actions and inactions by the Defendants in connection with the Acquisition. Subsequently, the Company filed an amended complaint in the Chancery Court on September 19, 2025 (the ""First Amended Complaint"") to include additional claims concerning the Defendant's actions against the Company that occurred in August 2025. The Acquisition closed on or about October 1, 2025. On January 16, 2026, the Chancery Court denied Wakefern Management's motion to dismiss the claims asserted against them for breach of fiduciary duty. The Chancery Court also entered an Order granting the Company's motion to transfer the matter to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Div
