FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our press releases and in our 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”). 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. Accounting estimates, such as those described under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, are inherently forward-looking. Our asset impairment, restructuring cost provisions and fair value measurements are estimates and actual costs may be more or less than these estimates and differences may be material. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the Quarterly Report, other report, release, presentation, or statement.
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 transition period ended December 28, 2013 (in particular, you should refer to the discussion of “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Transition Report on Form 10-K) and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
Our ability to achieve sales and earnings expectations; improve operating results; realize benefits of the merger with Nash-Finch Company (including realization of synergies); maintain or strengthen our retail-store performance; assimilate acquired distribution centers and stores; maintain or grow sales; respond successfully to competitors including remodels and new openings; maintain or improve gross margin; effectively address food cost or price inflation or deflation; maintain or improve customer and supplier relationships; realize expected synergies from other acquisition activity; realize expected benefits of restructuring; realize growth opportunities; maintain or expand our customer base; reduce operating costs; sell on favorable terms assets held for sale; generate cash; continue to meet the terms of our debt covenants; continue to pay dividends, and successfully implement and realize the expected benefits of the other programs, initiatives, systems, plans, priorities, strategies, objectives, goals or expectations described in this Quarterly Report, our other reports, our press releases and our public comments will be affected by changes in economic conditions generally or in the markets and geographic areas that we serve, adverse effects of the changing food and distribution industries, adverse changes in government funded consumer assistance programs, possible changes in the military commissary system, including those stemming from the redeployment of forces, congressional action, changes in funding levels, or the effects of mandated reductions in or sequestration of government expenditures, and other factors.
This section is intended to provide meaningful cautionary statements. This should not be construed as a complete list of all economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that could adversely affect our 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. We undertake no obligation to update or revise our 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
SpartanNash Company was formerly known as Spartan Stores, Inc. which began doing business under the assumed name of “SpartanNash Company,” upon completion of the merger with Nash-Finch Company (“Nash-Finch”) on November 19, 2013. The formal name change to SpartanNash Company was approved and became effective after the annual shareholders meeting on May 28, 2014. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) include the accounts of SpartanNash Company and its subsidiaries (“SpartanNash”). The operating results of Nash-Finch are included in the financial statements for the year-to-date and third quarter ended October 4, 2014 only. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In connection with the merger with Nash-Finch, effective November 19, 2013, the Board of Directors of SpartanNash determined to change the Company’s fiscal year end from the last Saturday in March to the Saturday nearest to December 31, beginning with the transition period ended December 28, 2013. Beginning with fiscal 2014 the Company’s interim quarters consist of 12 weeks, except for the first quarter which consists of 16 weeks. As a result of this change, in these financial statements, including the notes thereto, financial results for the current third quarter and year-to-date ended October 4, 2014 are for 12 and 40 weeks, respectively. In addition, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings include an unaudited 12-week period and 40-week period ended October 12, 2013 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the prior year include an unaudited 40-week period ended October 12, 2013. The prior year financial statements were recast to the new fiscal year format based upon the original fiscal period end dates. As a result, the period end date for the prior year financial statements differs with the current year by one week and the full prior fiscal year will consist of 51 weeks with the fourth quarter comprised of only 11 weeks. Fiscal year 2014 will consist of 53 weeks with the fourth quarter comprised of 13 weeks.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements, taken as a whole, contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of SpartanNash as of October 4, 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Note 2 Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU No. 2014-08 on its financial statements.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The new guidance contained in the ASU affects any reporting organization that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 30, 2017. Adoption is allowed by either the full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 Merger
On November 19, 2013, Spartan Stores, Inc. completed a merger with Nash-Finch, a food distribution company serving military commissaries and exchanges and independent grocery retailers as well as an operator of retail grocery stores.
The merger was accounted for under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” The related assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date.
8
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on November 19, 2013. During the measurement period, which will end on November 18, 2014, net adjustments of $7.0 million have been made to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. These adjustments are summarized in the table presented below. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2013 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect these adjustments made as of November 19, 2013 as required by the accounting guidance for business combinations. The valuation process is not complete and the final determination of the fair values may result in further adjustments to the values presented below:

During the second quarter ended July 12, 2014, management of the Company made revisions to the cash flow projections to correct the allocation between certain reporting units related to the valuation analysis completed in 2013. Management has concluded that the purchase accounting effect of the revisions is not material to the consolidated financial statements for any period presented. As a result of the revisions, property and equipment was decreased by $23.0 million, while intangible assets were increased by $19.3 million and goodwill was increased by $3.7 million.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $36.6 million was preliminarily recorded as goodwill in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and allocated to the Food Distribution segment. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Nash-Finch. No goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Intangible assets acquired are currently valued as follows:

The provision for severance includes $0.1 million related to a distribution center closing in the Food Distribution segment and $0.2 million related to store closings in the Retail segment. |
|
(c) |
Goodwill was reduced by $1.3 million as a result of certain of these changes in estimates as the initial charges for certain stores were established in the purchase price allocations for previous acquisitions. In addition, Restructuring charges were reduced by $0.1 million for the remainder of the changes in estimates. |
Included in the liability are lease obligations recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments, calculated using a risk-free interest rate, and related ancillary costs from the date of closure to the end of the remaining lease term, net of estimated sublease income.

Note 6 Fair Value Measurements
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. At October 4, 2014 and December 28, 2013 the estimated fair value and the book value of our debt instruments were as follows:

The estimated fair value of debt is based on market quotes for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities (level 2 valuation techniques).
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.
Long-lived assets with a book value of $0.9 million and $3.6 million in the 40 week periods ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, respectively, were measured at a fair value of $0.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy. Our accounting and finance team management, which report to the chief financial officer, determine our valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of our accounting and finance team management and are approved by the chief financial officer. Fair value of long-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows, discounted using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. SpartanNash estimates future cash flows based on experience and knowledge of the market in which the assets are located, and when necessary, uses real estate brokers. See Note 5 for discussion of long-lived asset impairment charges.
Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies
We are engaged from time-to-time in routine legal proceedings incidental to our business. We do not believe that these routine legal proceedings, taken as a whole, will have a material impact on our 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 a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operating results or liquidity of SpartanNash.
On or about July 24, 2013, a putative class action complaint (the “State Court Action”) was filed in the District Court for the Fourth Judicial District, State of Minnesota, County of Hennepin (the “State Court”), by a stockholder of Nash-Finch Company in connection with the pending merger with Spartan Stores, Inc. The State Court Action was styled Greenblatt v. Nash-Finch Co. et al., Case No. 27-cv-13-13710. That complaint was amended on August 28, 2013, after Spartan Stores filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission containing a preliminary version of the joint proxy statement/prospectus. On September 9, 2013, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the State Court Action. On or about September 19, 2013, a second putative class action complaint (the “Federal Court Action” and, together with the State Court Action, the “Putative Class Actions”) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the “Federal Court”), by a stockholder of Nash-Finch. The Federal Court Action was styled Benson v. Covington et al., Case No. 0:13-cv-02574.
12
The Putative Class Actions alleged that the directors of Nash-Finch breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, approving a merger that provided for inadequate consideration under circumstances involving certain alleged conflicts of interest; that the merger agreement included allegedly preclusive deal protection provisions; and that Nash-Finch and Spartan Stores allegedly aided and abetted the directors in breaching their duties to Nash-Finch’s stockholders. Both Putative Class Actions also alleged that the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus was false and misleading due to the omission of a variety of allegedly material information. The complaint in the Federal Court Action also asserted additional claims individually on behalf of the plaintiff under the federal securities laws. The Putative Class Actions sought, on behalf of their putative classes, various remedies, including enjoining the merger from being consummated in accordance with its agreed-upon terms, damages, and costs and disbursements relating to the lawsuit.
SpartanNash believed that these lawsuits were without merit; however, to eliminate the burden, expense and uncertainties inherent in such litigation, Nash-Finch and Spartan Stores agreed, as part of settlement discussions, to make certain supplemental disclosures in the joint proxy statement/prospectus requested by the Putative Class Actions in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus. On October 30, 2013, the defendants entered into the Memorandum of Understanding regarding the settlement of the Putative Class Actions. The Memorandum of Understanding outlined the terms of the parties’ agreement in principle to settle and release all claims which were or could have been asserted in the Putative Class Actions. In consideration for such settlement and release, Nash-Finch and Spartan Stores acknowledged that the supplemental disclosures in the joint proxy statement/prospectus were made in response to the Putative Class Actions. The Memorandum of Understanding contemplated that the parties will use their best efforts to agree upon, execute and present to the State Court for approval a stipulation of settlement within thirty days after the later of the date that the Merger is consummated or the date that plaintiffs and their counsel have confirmed the fairness, adequacy, and reasonableness of the settlement, and that upon execution of such stipulation, and as a condition to final approval of the settlement, the plaintiff in the Federal Action would withdraw the claims in and cause to be dismissed the Federal Action, with any individual claims being dismissed with prejudice. The Memorandum of Understanding provided that Nash-Finch would pay, on behalf of all defendants, the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses, subject to approval by the State Court, in an amount not to exceed $550,000. On February 11, 2014, the parties executed the Stipulation and Agreement Compromise, Settlement and Release (the “Stipulation of Settlement.”) to resolve, discharge and settle the Putative Class Actions. The Stipulation of Settlement was subject to customary conditions, including approval by the State Court, which will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of such settlement. On February 18, 2014, the Federal Court entered a final order dismissing the Federal Court Action with prejudice. On February 28, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, the plaintiffs in the State Court Action filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of class action settlement, conditional certification of class, and approval of notice to be furnished to the class. On March 7, 2014, the State Court entered an order preliminarily approving the Settlement Stipulation, subject to a hearing, scheduled for May 20, 2014. At the hearing on May 20, 2014, the Settlement Stipulation was approved. On July 21, 2014, the appeals period expired and the matter is now closed.
SpartanNash contributes to the Central States multi-employer pension plan based on obligations arising from its collective bargaining agreements in Bellefontaine, Ohio, Lima, Ohio, and Grand Rapids, Michigan covering its distribution center union associates. 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. SpartanNash currently contributes to the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund under the terms outlined in the “Primary Schedule” of Central States’ Rehabilitation Plan. This schedule requires varying increases in employer contributions over the previous year’s contribution. Increases are set within the collective bargaining agreement and vary by location.
Based on the most recent information available to SpartanNash, 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, although management anticipates that SpartanNash’s contributions to this plan will increase each year. Management is not aware of any significant change in funding levels since December 28, 2013. To reduce this underfunding, management expects meaningful 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.

The Company made contributions of $2.0 million and $1.1 million to the Super Foods Pension Plan during the 40 weeks and 12 weeks ended October 4, 2014, respectively, and expects to make contributions totaling $2.3 million for the fiscal year ending January 3, 2015. No contributions were made to the Cash Balance Pension Plan for the 40 weeks ended October 4, 2014, nor are any expected to be made for the fiscal year ending January 3, 2015.
As previously stated in Note 7, SpartanNash contributes to the Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund (“Fund”) (EIN 7456500) under the terms of the existing collective bargaining agreements and in the amounts set forth in the related collective bargaining agreements. SpartanNash employer contributions during the 39-week transition fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 totaled $6.8 million, which Fund administrators represent is less than 5% of total employer contributions to the Fund. SpartanNash’s employer contributions for the 40 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013 were $10.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

Note 9 Other Comprehensive Income or Loss
SpartanNash reports comprehensive income or loss in accordance with ASU 2012-13, “Comprehensive Income,” in the financial statements. Total comprehensive income is defined as all changes in shareholders’ equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders. Generally, for SpartanNash, total comprehensive income equals net earnings plus or minus adjustments for pension and other postretirement benefits.
While total comprehensive income is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of the balance sheet date. For SpartanNash, AOCI is the cumulative balance related to pension and other postretirement benefits.
During the 12 week periods ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was reclassified from AOCI to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, of which $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, increased selling, general and administrative expenses and $0.1 million reduced income taxes in each period. During the 40 week periods ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was reclassified from AOCI to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings, of which $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, increased selling, general and administrative expenses and $0.3 million reduced income taxes in each period.
Note 10 Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 39.0% and 34.5% for the 12 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, respectively. For the 40 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, the effective income tax rate was 37.6% and 37.3%, respectively. The differences from the Federal statutory rate in the current and prior year periods are due primarily to state income taxes, partially offset by the benefit resulting from the favorable settlement of unrecognized tax liabilities established in the prior year.
Note 11 Share-Based Compensation
SpartanNash has three shareholder-approved stock incentive plans that provide for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, and other stock-based awards to directors, officers and other key associates.
SpartanNash accounts for share-based compensation awards in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718 which requires that share-based payment transactions be accounted for using a fair value method and the related compensation cost recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. SpartanNash recognized share-based compensation expense (net of tax) of $0.6 million ($0.02 per diluted share) and $0.5 million ($0.02 per diluted share) for the 12 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, respectively, as a component of Operating expenses and Income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Share-based compensation expense (net of tax) was $3.7 million ($0.10 per diluted share) and $1.8 million ($0.8 per diluted share) for the 40 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, respectively.

Note 14 Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Non-cash financing activities include the issuance of restricted stock to employees and directors of $7.2 million and $3.8 million for the 40 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, respectively. Non-cash investing activities include capital expenditures included in accounts payable of $3.6 million and $1.9 million for the 40 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, respectively.
Note 15 Operating Segment Information
The allocation of intersegment profit and corporate level expenses to the reporting segments was historically performed for the legacy Spartan Stores operations and the legacy Nash-Finch Company operations using methodologies consistent with Spartan Stores’ and Nash-Finch Company’s respective historical practices. As previously disclosed, subsequent to the merger management commenced an evaluation of potential methodologies for allocating intersegment profit and corporate level expenses to the reporting segments to determine the most appropriate manner for the newly merged operations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, management completed this evaluation. The new allocation methodology was applied in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 and reflects the manner in which the business is now managed and how management allocates resources and assesses performance. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, results for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014 and all quarters in fiscal year 2013 have been revised to reflect the new allocation methodologies. There was no impact to consolidated financial results.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Overview
SpartanNash is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our business consists of three primary operating segments: Military, Food Distribution and Retail. We are a leading regional grocery distributor and grocery retailer, operating principally in the Midwest, and the largest distributor, by revenue, of grocery products to military commissaries and exchanges in the United States.
Our Military segment contracts with manufacturers to distribute a wide variety of grocery products to military commissaries and exchanges located in the United States, the District of Columbia, Europe, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Azores, Egypt and Bahrain. We have over 30 years of experience acting as a distributor to U.S. military commissaries and exchanges.
Our Food Distribution segment provides a wide variety of nationally branded and private label grocery products and perishable food products, including dry groceries, produce, dairy products, meat, deli, bakery, frozen food, seafood, floral products, general merchandise, pharmacy and health and beauty care from 13 distribution centers to approximately 2,100 independent retail locations and 165 corporate-owned retail stores located in 31 states, primarily in the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Southeast regions of the United States.
Our Retail segment operates 165 supermarkets in the Midwest and Great Lakes which operate primarily under the banners of Family Fare Supermarkets, No Frills, Bag ‘N Save, Family Fresh Markets, D&W Fresh Markets, Sun Mart and Econofoods. Our retail supermarkets typically offer dry groceries, produce, dairy products, meat, frozen food, seafood, floral products, general merchandise, beverages, tobacco products, health and beauty care products, delicatessen items and bakery goods. We offer pharmacy services in 79 of our supermarkets and we operate 30 fuel centers. Our retail supermarkets have a “neighborhood market” focus to distinguish them from supercenters and limited assortment stores.
Typically, all quarters are 12 weeks, except for our first quarter, which is 16 weeks and will generally include the Easter holiday. Our fourth quarter includes the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Fiscal 2014 will be comprised of 53 weeks. As a result, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 will consist of 13 weeks.

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.
21
The Company believes that adjusted operating earnings provide a meaningful representation of its operating performance for the Company. 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 its military, food 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 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 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, 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.
Following is an unaudited reconciliation of Operating earnings to adjusted operating earnings for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013.

Adjusted earnings from Continuing Operations
Adjusted earnings from continuing operations is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that we define 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.

Adjusted EBITDA
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that we define as net earnings from continuing operations plus depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash items including imputed interest, non-cash stock compensation, the LIFO provision, as well as adjustments for unusual items that do not reflect the ongoing operating activities of SpartanNash and costs associated with the closing of operational locations, interest expense and the provision for income taxes to the extent deducted in the computation of net earnings.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful representation of our operating performance for SpartanNash as a whole and for our operating segments. We consider 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 our military, food 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, we believe it provides useful information for our investors. In addition, securities analysts, fund managers and other shareholders and stakeholders that communicate with us request our operating financial results in adjusted EBITDA format.
Adjusted EBITDA 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. Our definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Following is a reconciliation of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013.

Net Sales – Net sales for the quarter ended October 4, 2014 (“third quarter”) increased $1,179.5 million, or 187.2 percent, from $630.1 million in the quarter ended October 12, 2013 (“prior year third quarter”) to $1,809.6 million. Net sales for the year-to-date period ended October 4, 2014 (“year-to-date”) increased $3,892.0 million, or 188.8 percent, from $2,061.5 million in the prior year-to-date period ended October 12, 2013 (“prior year-to-date”) to $5,953.5 million. The third quarter increase in net sales was primarily due to $1.2 billion in sales generated as a result of the merger with Nash-Finch and positive Retail comparable store sales, excluding fuel, of 0.4 percent, partially offset by decreased sales due to closed stores in the Retail segment. The increase in year-to-date net sales was primarily due to $3.9 billion in sales generated as a result of the merger with Nash-Finch, as well as an increase in Retail comparable store sales, excluding fuel, of 1.0 percent and net new business gains in the Food Distribution segment. The increase in year-to-date net sales was partially offset by decreased sales due to closed stores in the Retail segment.
Net sales for the third quarter and the year-to-date period in our Military segment were $523.6 million and $1,710.1 million, respectively.
Net sales for the third quarter in our Food Distribution segment, after intercompany eliminations, increased $494.1 million, or 182.9 percent, from $270.2 million in the prior year third quarter to $764.3 million. Net sales for the current year-to-date period in our Food Distribution segment, after intercompany eliminations, increased $1,624.4 million, or 184.8 percent, from $878.8 million in the prior year-to-date period to $2,503.2 million. The third quarter increase was primarily due to additional sales of $493.5 million resulting from the merger. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to additional sales of $1,614.6 million resulting from the merger, net new business of $6.6 million and a net increase in pharmacy sales of $6.3 million.
Net sales for the third quarter in our Retail segment increased $161.8 million, or 45.0 percent, from $359.9 million in the prior year third quarter to $521.7 million. Net sales for the year-to-date period increased $557.4 million, or 47.1 percent, from $1,182.7 million in the prior year-to-date period to $1,740.1 million. The third quarter increase was primarily due to sales of $179.2 million resulting from the merger and positive comparable store sales, excluding fuel, of 0.4 percent, partially offset by a decrease in sales of $19.5 million due to store closures. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to sales of $605.5 million resulting from the merger and a comparable store sales increase of 1.0 percent, partially offset by a decrease in sales of $56.1 million due to store closures. We define a retail store as comparable when it is in operation for 14 periods (a period is four weeks), and we include remodeled, expanded and relocated stores in comparable stores.
25
Gross Profit – Gross profit represents net sales less cost of sales, which include purchase costs, freight, physical inventory adjustments, markdowns and promotional allowances. Vendor allowances that relate to our 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 our merchandising costs, such as setting up warehouse infrastructure. Vendor allowances associated with product cost 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.
Gross profit for the third quarter increased $130.9 million, or 100.4 percent, from $130.5 million in the prior year third quarter to $261.4 million. As a percent of net sales, gross profit for the third quarter decreased to 14.4 percent from 20.7 percent. Gross profit for the year-to-date period increased $438.3 million, or 100.6 percent, from $435.6 million in the prior year-to-date period to $873.9 million. As a percent of net sales, gross profit for the year-to-date period decreased to 14.7 percent from 21.1 percent. The third quarter and year-to-date gross profit rate decreases were principally driven by sales mix due to the merger with Nash-Finch, the impact of higher LIFO expense and lower center store inflation. Excluding the gross profit resulting from the merger with Nash-Finch, third quarter gross profit decreased $4.2 million, or 3.2 percent, and as a rate to sales decreased to 20.6 percent from 20.7 percent. Excluding the gross profit resulting from the merger with Nash-Finch, year-to-date gross profit decreased $14.6 million, or 3.4 percent, and as a rate to sales decreased to 20.8 percent from 21.1 percent.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages, employee benefits, warehousing costs, store occupancy costs, shipping and handling, utilities, equipment rental, depreciation and other administrative costs.
SG&A expenses for the third quarter increased $114.2 million, or 100.7 percent, from $113.5 million in the prior year third quarter to $227.7 million. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses were 12.5 percent for the third quarter compared to 18.0 percent in the prior year third quarter. SG&A expenses for the year-to-date period increased $394.3 million, or 104.4 percent, from $377.7 million in the prior year-to-date period to $772.0 million. As a percent of net sales, SG&A expenses were 13.0 percent for the current year-to-date period compared to 18.3 percent in the prior year-to-date period. The dollar increase in the third quarter was due primarily to $121.8 million in expenses related to the Nash-Finch operations, partially offset by decreased store labor and SG&A expenses of $5.4 million due to store closures and a reduction of health care expenses of $2.0 million. The decrease as a percent of sales was primarily due to the merger with Nash-Finch and related synergies. Excluding the expenses related to Nash-Finch operations, SG&A expenses for the third quarter would have decreased $7.6 million, or 6.6 percent, from $113.5 million in the prior year third quarter to $105.9 million. As a percent of sales, SG&A expenses excluding the Nash-Finch operations would have been 17.3 percent for the third quarter compared to 18.0 percent in the prior year third quarter. The dollar increase in the year-to-date period was due primarily to $410.5 million in expenses related to the Nash-Finch operations, partially offset by decreased store labor and SG&A expenses of $14.7 million due to store closures and reduced health care expenses. The decrease as a percent of sales was primarily due to the merger with Nash-Finch and related synergies. Excluding the expenses related to Nash-Finch operations, SG&A expenses for the year-to-date period would have decreased $16.2 million, or 4.3 percent, from $377.7 million in the prior year-to-date period to $361.5 million. As a percent of sales, SG&A expenses excluding the Nash-Finch operations would have been 17.9 percent for the year-to-date period compared to 18.3 percent in the prior year-to-date period.
Merger Transaction and Integration – Merger transaction and integration expenses consist of expenses related to consummating the merger with Nash-Finch Company on November 19, 2013 and costs to integrate the operations of the two companies. Merger transaction and integration expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 70.2 percent, from $4.6 million to $1.4 million. For the year-to-date period, merger transaction and integration expenses increased $1.1 million, or 15.9%, from $7.0 million to $8.1 million.
Restructuring and Asset Impairment – The third quarter restructuring and asset impairment gain consisted primarily of gains on sales of assets related to closed stores, net of store closing costs. The current year-to-date restructuring and asset impairment gain consisted primarily of gains on the sales of assets related to certain closed stores and a favorable settlement on a lease termination of a previously closed store, partially offset by asset impairment charges for a retail store and restructuring charges related to the closure of a distribution center. Restructuring and asset impairment in the prior year-to-date period consisted of asset impairment charges related to an underperforming retail store.
Interest Expense – Interest expense increased $3.3 million, or 147.9 percent, from $2.2 million in the prior year third quarter to $5.5 million. For the year-to-date period, interest expense increased $10.2 million, or 124.3 percent, from $8.2 million to $18.4 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased borrowings from the amended and restated credit agreement that was entered into contemporaneously with the closing of the merger with Nash-Finch Company, partially offset by the redemption of the convertible senior notes in the prior year first quarter.
26
Debt Extinguishment – Debt extinguishment charges of $2.8 million were incurred in the prior year first quarter in connection with the redemption of $57.4 million of Convertible Senior Notes.
Income Taxes – The effective income tax rate was 39.0 percent and 34.5 percent for the 12 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, respectively. For the 40 weeks ended October 4, 2014 and October 12, 2013, the effective income tax rate was 37.6 percent and 37.3 percent, respectively. The difference from the Federal statutory rate in both the current and prior year periods was due primarily to state income taxes, partially offset by a benefit for the favorable settlement of an unrecognized tax liabilities established in the prior year.
Discontinued Operations
Certain of our retail and food distribution operations have been recorded as discontinued operations. Results of the discontinued operations are excluded from the accompanying notes to the financial statements for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased from the prior year-to-date period primarily due to the merger with Nash-Finch and by the timing of seasonal working capital requirements.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $24.6 million to $54.4 million during the current year-to-date period primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures resulting from the merger with Nash-Finch. Military, Food Distribution and Retail segments utilized 24.3 percent, 33.5 percent and 42.2 percent of capital expenditures, respectively.
Net cash used in financing activities in the current year-to-date period resulted primarily from net payments from the revolving credit facility of $42.9 million, the payment of dividends of $13.6 million, the repayment of other long term debt of $5.8 million and share repurchases of $2.5 million. Net cash used in financing activities in the prior year-to-date period consisted of the repurchase of the Convertible Senior Notes for $58.0 million, payment of dividends of $5.7 million and the repayment of other long term debt of $3.1 million, partially offset by net proceeds from the revolving credit facility of $37.1 million. The increase in dividends paid was due to an increase in shares outstanding due to the merger with Nash-Finch and a 33.3 percent increase in the quarterly dividend rate from $0.09 per share to $0.12 per share that was approved by the Board of Directors and announced on March 3, 2014. Although we expect 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 and repurchase shares depends on a number of factors, including our future financial condition, anticipated profitability and cash flows and compliance with the terms of our credit facilities. Our current maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations at October 4, 2014 are $7.3 million. Our ability to borrow additional funds is governed by the terms of our credit facilities.
Net cash used in discontinued operations contains the net cash flows of our discontinued operations and consists primarily of insurance run-off claims and facility maintenance expenditures.

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and our senior secured credit facility which has maximum available credit of $1.0 billion. As of October 4, 2014, our senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan had outstanding borrowings of $437.7 million; additional available borrowings under our $1.0 billion credit facility are based on stipulated advance rates on eligible assets, as defined in the credit agreement. The credit agreement requires that SpartanNash maintain excess availability of 10 percent of the borrowing base as such term is defined in the credit agreement. SpartanNash had excess availability after the 10 percent covenant of $372.6 million at October 4, 2014. 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 $11.5 million were outstanding as of October 4, 2014. The revolving credit facility matures November 2018, and is secured by substantially all of our assets. We believe 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 senior note debt redemption and debt service obligations for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our business will continue to generate cash flow at or above current levels or that we will maintain our ability to borrow under our credit facility.
Our current ratio increased to 1.77:1.00 at October 4, 2014 from 1.76:1.00 at December 28, 2013 and our investment in working capital increased to $421.7 million at October 4, 2014 from $398.2 million at December 28, 2013. Our net debt to total capital ratio decreased to 0.42:1.00 at October 4, 2014 versus 0.46:1.00 at December 28, 2013.
Total net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as long term debt and capital lease obligations plus current maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes 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.
Following is a reconciliation of long-term debt and capital lease obligations to total net long-term debt and capital lease obligations as of October 4, 2014 and December 28, 2013.

For information on contractual obligations, see our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the 39 week period ended December 28, 2013. At October 4, 2014, there have been no material changes to our significant contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business.
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges under the terms of tour Senior Notes, earnings consist of net earnings, as adjusted under the terms of the Senior Notes indenture, plus income tax expense, fixed charges and non-cash charges, less cash payments relating to non-cash charges added back to net earnings in prior periods. Fixed charges consist of interest cost, including capitalized interest, and amortization of debt issue costs. Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 9.50:1.00 for the four quarters ended October 4, 2014.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have also made certain commercial commitments that extend beyond October 4, 2014. These commitments consist primarily of standby letters of credit of $11.5 million as of October 4, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, long-lived assets, income taxes, self-insurance reserves, restructuring costs, retirement benefits, stock-based compensation and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Based on our ongoing review, we make adjustments we consider appropriate under the facts and circumstances. We have discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee. The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the same critical accounting policies discussed in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the 39 week period ended December 28, 2013.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. We are currently assessing the potential impact of ASU No. 2014-08 on our financial statements.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The new guidance contained in the ASU affects any reporting organization that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending December 30, 2017. Adoption is allowed by either the full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in market risk of SpartanNash from the information provided under Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk”, of the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of SpartanNash’s disclosure controls and procedures (as currently defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was performed as of October 4, 2014 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of SpartanNash’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”). SpartanNash’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 we file or submit 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 we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the third quarter there was no change in SpartanNash’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, SpartanNash’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The following table provides information regarding SpartanNash’s purchases of its own common stock during the 12 week period ended October 4, 2014. On May 17, 2011, the Board of Directors authorized a five-year share repurchase program for up to $50 million of the SpartanNash’s common stock. The approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the repurchase plan was $23.8 million as of October 4, 2014. All employee transactions are under associate stock compensation plans. These may include: (1) shares of SpartanNash common stock delivered in satisfaction of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations by holders of employee stock options who exercised options, and (2) shares submitted for cancellation to satisfy tax withholding obligations that occur upon the vesting of the restricted shares. The value of the shares delivered or withheld is determined by the applicable stock compensation plan.
