Utz Brands Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
Raises Organic Net Sales Growth Guidance and Advances Supply Chain Transformation

Hanover, PA – July 31, 2025 – Utz Brands, Inc. (NYSE: UTZ) (“Utz” or the “Company”), a leading U.S. manufacturer of branded Salty Snacks and a small-cap value Staples equity, today reported financial results for the Company’s second fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2025.

2Q’25 Summary(1)
Net Sales increased 2.9% to $366.7 million
Total Organic Net Sales increased 2.9%; Branded Salty Snacks increased 5.4%
Gross Profit Margin decline of 40bps
Adjusted Gross Profit Margin expansion of 220bps
Net Income decreased 60.2% to $10.1 million
Adjusted Net Income decreased 14.2% to $23.6 million
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2.0% to $48.7 million
Diluted Earnings Per Share decreased 47.8% to $0.12
Adjusted Earnings Per Share decreased 10.5% to $0.17

(1) All comparisons for the second quarter of 2025 are to the second quarter of 2024 (ended June 30, 2024).
“I am pleased with our strong performance in the second quarter, with Organic Net Sales growth of nearly 3%(1). Our Branded Salty Snacks portfolio is accelerating, with 5.4% growth in the quarter(1). We gained value and volume shares in both our Core and Expansion Geographies(3). Our proactive approach to cost management and operational excellence has enabled us to achieve significant Adjusted Gross Profit Margin expansion,” said Howard Friedman, Chief Executive Officer of Utz.

Mr. Friedman continued, “We’re encouraged by our summer sales performance thus far, as we successfully capitalize on seasonal demand and snacking occasions. Our strong performance illustrates our ability to deliver growth independent of the category in a rational competitive environment. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2025, we expect our strong productivity cost savings will continue to provide us with the flexibility to invest in our brands, while expanding profit margins. With geographic expansion driving much of our growth strategy, we remain on track to deliver solid results in 2025 and continue to create long-term shareholder value.”

“We are raising our 2025 Organic Net Sales outlook to reflect stronger revenue trends through the first half and our confidence in the growth drivers ahead,” said Bill Kelley, EVP and Chief Financial Officer of Utz. “We now expect Organic Net Sales growth of 2.5% or better, driven by our advantaged portfolio of brands and expansion geographies. We are also tightening our Adjusted EBITDA range to 7% to 10% growth, reflecting our confidence in the significant productivity programs ramping in the second half. We are lowering our Adjusted Earnings Per Share guidance to 7 to 10% growth due to higher interest and depreciation & amortization linked to our accelerated capex investments. We believe these strategic investments in our manufacturing network and automation capabilities will position us for sustained Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and continued geographic expansion in 2026 and beyond.”


Second Quarter 2025 Results

Second quarter Net Sales increased 2.9% to $366.7 million compared to $356.2 million in the prior year period. Organic Net Sales also increased 2.9% year-over-year, driven by a favorable volume/mix contribution of 3.9%, or 3.1% excluding





a 0.8 percentage point benefit from bonus packs in April. This was partially offset by lower net price realization of (1.0)%, which included a (0.8) percentage point impact from bonus packs and other net price impacts of (0.2) percentage points. The net impact on second quarter sales from bonus packs was neutral. Branded Salty Snacks Organic Net Sales(3) (representing 88% of total Net Sales) increased 5.4% led by our Power Four Brands, offset by an 11.8% decline in Non-Branded & Non-Salty Snacks Organic Net Sales(3), primarily due to Partner Brands and Dips & Salsas.

For the 13-week period ended June 29, 2025, the Company’s Branded Salty Snacks Retail Sales increased 3.3% versus the prior year period compared to a 1.5% decline for the Salty Snack category overall(3). The Company’s Retail Volumes increased by 4.3% compared to a 1.5% decline for the Salty Snack category, and the Company drove volume share gains in both its Core and Expansion geographies(2)(3) . The Company’s Power Four Brands of Utz®, On The Border®, Zapp’s® and Boulder Canyon® Retail Sales increased by 5.7%.

Gross Profit Margin of 34.6% declined 40bps compared to 35.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin of 39.8% expanded 220bps compared to 37.6% in the prior year period. The increase was driven by productivity savings, which more than offset increased investments to support capacity expansion and growth.

Selling, Distribution, and Administrative Expenses (“SD&A Expenses”) were $119.5 million, or 32.6% of Net Sales, compared to $104.6 million, or 29.4% of Net Sales, in the prior year period. Adjusted SD&A Expenses were $97.3 million, or 26.5% of Net Sales, compared to $84.5 million, or 23.7% of Net Sales, in the prior year period. The increase as a percentage of Net Sales was primarily due to adding capabilities, selling, and delivery costs to support the Company’s geographic expansion and growth initiatives.

The Company reported Net Income of $10.1 million compared to Net Income of $25.4 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Net Income in the quarter decreased 14.2% to $23.6 million compared to $27.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Earnings Per Share decreased 10.5% to $0.17 compared to $0.19 in the prior year period. The Adjusted Earnings Per Share decline in the second quarter was the result of higher SD&A expenses, higher depreciation and amortization, and higher interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2.0% to $48.7 million, or 13.3% as a percentage of Net Sales, compared to $49.7 million, or 14.0% as a percentage of Net Sales, in the prior year period. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by increased SD&A expenses, which more than offset the positive impact of Adjusted Gross Profit Margin expansion.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

As of June 29, 2025
Total liquidity of $170.9 million, consisting of cash on hand of $54.6 million and $116.3 million available under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
Net debt of $826.3 million resulting in a Net Leverage Ratio of 4.1x based on trailing twelve months Normalized Adjusted EBITDA of $200.9 million.

For the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025
Cash flow used in operations was $3.9 million, which reflects the seasonal use of working capital.
Capital expenditures were $65.7 million, and dividends and distributions paid were $20.1 million.

Supply Chain Transformation Plan Update

As part of Utz's ongoing supply chain transformation, the Company is announcing the strategic decision to consolidate its manufacturing footprint from eight primary(1) plants to seven, with the closure of its Grand Rapids, Michigan manufacturing facility. This decision is a key component of the Company’s long-term strategic roadmap, and is expected





to generate cost savings during the second half of 2025. These savings are part of Utz’s previously communicated target of approximately 6% productivity savings as a percentage of Adjusted COGS in fiscal year 2025.

This transition is planned to begin in August and be completed by early 2026. The consolidation should enable the Company to allocate more volume to its larger, more efficient facilities, while driving fixed cost leverage and enhanced automation capabilities across its remaining network. In addition to the expected cost savings, the Company expects the optimized footprint to support its ongoing geographic expansion.

“The decision is a reflection of our commitment to operational excellence and ongoing transformation,” said Friedman. “While these types of decisions are never easy, they are necessary steps to streamline our operations and strengthen our supply chain for the long-term. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of our Grand Rapids team and are committed to supporting them through this transition.”

All impacted associates will be encouraged to apply for opportunities at other Utz facilities, and provided transition assistance including on-site job fairs and severance pay if they cannot relocate.

(1) Excludes Plant 1 in Hanover given limited production.

Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook

The Company is updating its 2025 fiscal year outlook to reflect stronger top-line trends and higher Adjusted EBITDA. The company is lowering expected Adjusted EPS growth due to higher capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense. The Company now expects:

Organic Net Sales growth of 2.5% or better, compared to the prior expectation of low-single digits. We expect Organic Net Sales growth will be led by Branded Salty Snacks growth, particularly the Power Four Brands, and less decline in Non-Branded & Non-Salty Snacks;

Adjusted EBITDA growth of 7% to 10%, compared to the prior expectation of 6% to 10%. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion of approximately 100bps, which is consistent with the Company’s previously provided guidance. We expect Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion will be led by Adjusted Gross Profit Margin expansion fueled by strong productivity cost savings and improved product mix; and

Adjusted Earnings Per Share growth of 7% to 10%, compared to the prior expectation of 10% to 15%, due to higher interest expense and depreciation and amortization linked to accelerated capital expenditures related to the Company’s network optimization and facility consolidation efforts.

Key assumptions for the Company’s fiscal 2025 outlook include:

An effective tax rate (normalized GAAP basis tax expense, which excludes one-time items) in the range of 17% to 19%, consistent with the Company’s previously provided expectation;
Interest Expense of approximately $46 million, compared to the prior expectation of $43 million;
Capital Expenditures are now expected to be approximately $100 million, the high end of the previously provided range of $90 to $100 million, with the majority focused on building increased supply chain network capabilities and delivering accelerated productivity savings; and
Net Leverage Ratio approaching 3x at year-end fiscal 2025.






Quantitative reconciliations are not available for the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures used herein without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain items which are excluded from Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Leverage Ratio, normalized GAAP basis tax expense, excluding one-time items, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, respectively. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Utz uses non-GAAP financial information and believes it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results and identify trends in our underlying operating results, and it provides additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate the business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounted principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may exclude items that are significant to understanding and assessing financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations, earnings per share or other measures of profitability, liquidity, or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP measures reported, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The Company’s calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company to date when considered with both the GAAP results and the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, and that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors in the evaluation of our operating performance compared to other companies in the Salty Snack industry, as similar measures are commonly used by the companies in this industry. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of management judgment about which items of expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When the definitions change, we will provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.

Utz uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in its financial communications, and in the future could use others:
Organic Net Sales
Adjusted Gross Profit
Adjusted Gross Profit as % of Net Sales (Adjusted Gross Profit Margin)
Adjusted Selling, Distribution, and Administrative Expense
Adjusted Selling, Distribution, and Administrative Expense as % of Net Sales (Adjusted Selling, Distribution, and Administrative Expense Margin)
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted Earnings Before Taxes
EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA as % of Net Sales (Adjusted EBITDA Margin)
Normalized Adjusted EBITDA
Effective Normalized Tax Rate
Net Leverage Ratio
Adjusted COGS

Organic Net Sales is defined as Net Sales excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and independent operator (“IO”) route conversions that took place after 1Q’2024.






Adjusted Gross Profit represents Gross Profit excluding Depreciation and Amortization expense, a non-cash item. In addition, Adjusted Gross Profit excludes the impact of costs that fall within the categories of non-cash adjustments and/or other cash adjustment items such as those related to stock-based compensation, hedging and purchase commitments adjustments, asset impairments, acquisition and integration costs, business transformation initiatives, and financing-related costs. Adjusted Gross Profit is one of the key performance indicators that our management uses to evaluate operating performance. We also report Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of Net Sales as an additional measure for investors to evaluate our Adjusted Gross Profit Margin.

Adjusted Selling, Distribution, and Administrative Expense is defined as all Selling, Distribution, and Administrative expense excluding Depreciation and Amortization expense, a non-cash item. In addition, Adjusted Selling, Distribution, and Administrative Expense excludes the impact of costs that fall within the categories of non-cash adjustments and/or other cash adjustment items such as those related to stock-based compensation, hedging and purchase commitments adjustments, asset impairments, acquisition and integration costs, business transformation initiatives, and financing-related costs. We also report Adjusted Selling, Distribution, and Administrative Expense as a percentage of Net Sales as an additional measure for investors to evaluate our Adjusted Selling, Distribution, and Administrative Margin.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net Income excluding Depreciation and Amortization expense, a non-cash item, related to fair value adjustments on property, plant, and equipment, and definite-lived intangibles relating to business combinations recorded in prior periods. In addition, Adjusted Net Income excludes deferred financing fees, interest income, and expense relating to IO loans and certain non-cash adjustments and/or other cash adjustment items such as those related to stock-based compensation, hedging, and purchase commitments adjustments, asset impairments, acquisition and integration costs, business transformation initiatives, remeasurement of warrant liabilities and financing-related costs. Lastly, Adjusted Net Income normalizes the income tax provision to account for the above-mentioned adjustments.

Adjusted Earnings Before Taxes is defined as Adjusted Net Income before normalized GAAP basis tax expense.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for each period on a fully diluted basis, assuming the private placement warrants are net settled and the shares of Class V Common Stock of the Company are converted to Class A Common Stock.

EBITDA is defined as Net Income Before Interest, Income Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash adjustments and/or other cash adjustment items, such as stock-based compensation, hedging and purchase commitments adjustments, asset impairments, acquisition and integration costs, business transformation initiatives, and financing-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the key performance indicators we use in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial, operating, and planning decisions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to the users of this release because the financial information contained in the release can be used in the evaluation of Utz’s operating performance compared to other companies in the Salty Snack industry, as similar measures are commonly used by companies in this industry. In this release, we also provide Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales as an additional measure for readers to evaluate our Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Normalized Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to pre-acquisition Adjusted EBITDA for certain acquisitions and dispositions from time to time.

Effective Normalized Tax Rate is defined as normalized GAAP basis tax expense, which excludes one-time items, divided by Adjusted Earnings before Taxes.

Net Leverage Ratio is defined as trailing twelve month Normalized Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Debt. Net Debt is defined as Gross Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents.

(1)Interest Income (IO loans) refers to interest income that we earn from IO notes receivable that has resulted from our initiatives to transition from RSP distribution to IO distribution ("Business Transformation Initiatives"). There is a notes payable recorded that mirrors most of the IO notes receivable, and the interest expense associated with the notes payable is part of the Interest Expense, Net adjustment.
(2)Certain Non-Cash Adjustments are comprised primarily of the following:
Incentive programs – The Company incurred $2.7 million and $4.5 million of share-based compensation expense for awards to employees and directors, and compensation expense associated with the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "OEIP") for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company incurred $6.2 million and $8.4 million of share-based compensation expense for awards to employees and directors, and compensation expense associated with the OEIP for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Loss on impairment - The Company recorded an impairment charge of $.0.6 million during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025.
Purchase commitments and other adjustments – We have purchase commitments for specific quantities at fixed prices for certain of our products’ key ingredients. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, this adjustment was made to remove the volatility of purchase commitment related unrealized gains and losses. The adjustment related to purchase commitments and other adjustments, including cloud computing amortization, was expense of $2.1 million and $0.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The adjustment





related to purchase commitments and other adjustments, including cloud computing amortization, was expense of $4.3 million and $0.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
(3)Acquisitions, Divestitures and Investments – This is comprised of consulting, transaction services, and legal fees incurred for acquisitions and certain potential acquisitions, in addition to expenses associated with integrating recent acquisitions. Such expenses were $8.6 million and $1.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively; and $16.0 million and $6.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Also included in the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 was expense of $1.0 million related to the change in the liability association with a Tax Receivable Agreement. Also included for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was a gain of $44.0 million related to the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale.
(4)Business Transformation Initiatives – This adjustment is related to consultancy, professional and legal fees incurred for specific initiatives and structural changes to the business that do not reflect the cost of normal business operations. In addition, gains and losses realized from the sale of distribution rights to IOs and the subsequent disposal of trucks, severance costs associated with the elimination of RSP positions, and enterprise resource planning system transition costs fall into this category. The Company incurred such costs of $7.1 million and $4.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively; and $14.5 million and $10.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
(5)Financing-Related Costs – These costs include adjustments for various items related to raising debt and equity capital or debt extinguishment costs.
(6)Gains on Remeasurement of Warrant Liability - These liabilities are not expected to be settled in cash, and when exercised would result in a cash inflow to the Company with the warrants converting to Class A Common Stock with the liability being extinguished and the fair value of the warrants at the time of exercise being recorded as an increase to equity.

Industry Information Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this presentation or made orally during this presentation concerning the Company’s industry, competitive position and the markets in which it operates is based on information from independent research organizations, other third-party sources and management estimates. Management estimates are derived from publicly available information released by independent industry analysts and other third-party sources, as well as data from the Company’s internal research, and are based on assumptions made by the Company upon reviewing such data, and the Company’s experience in, and knowledge of, such industry and markets, which the Company believes to be reasonable. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of the future performance of the industry in which the Company operates, and the Company’s future performance are necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by the Company.

Projected Financial Information This presentation contains financial forecasts, which were prepared in good faith by the Company on a basis believed to be reasonable. Such financial forecasts have not been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purposes of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, they have not expressed an opinion nor provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside of the Company’s control, as discussed under Forward-Looking Statements above. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with GAAP including, but not limited to, Organic Net Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted SD&A, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted COGS, and Net Leverage Ratio, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations, earnings per share or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of these historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the appendix to this presentation. We believe (i) these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company to date; and (ii) the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in comparing financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. In addition, quantitative reconciliations are not available for the forward-looking GAAP financial measures used in this presentation without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain items which are excluded from Net Organic Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and Net Leverage Ratio, respectively. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future financial results.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Reported Financial Measures 32 (1) Interest Income (IO loans) refers to interest income that we earn from IO notes receivable that has resulted from our initiatives to transition from RSP distribution to IO distribution ("Business Transformation Initiatives"). There is a notes payable recorded that mirrors most of the IO notes receivable, and the interest expense associated with the notes payable is part of the Interest Expense, Net adjustment. (2) Certain Non-Cash Adjustments are comprised primarily of the following: Incentive programs – The Company incurred $2.7 million and $4.5 million of share-based compensation expense for awards to employees and directors, and compensation expense associated with the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "OEIP") for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company incurred $6.2 million and $8.4 million of share-based compensation expense for awards to employees and directors, and compensation expense associated with the OEIP for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Loss on impairment - The Company recorded an impairment charge of $.0.6 million during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025. Purchase commitments and other adjustments – We have purchase commitments for specific quantities at fixed prices for certain of our products’ key ingredients. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, this adjustment was made to remove the volatility of purchase commitment related unrealized gains and losses. The adjustment related to purchase commitments and other adjustments, including cloud computing amortization, was expense of $2.1 million and $0.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The adjustment related to purchase commitments and other adjustments, including cloud computing amortization, was expense of $4.3 million and $0.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. (3) Acquisitions, Divestitures and Investments – This is comprised of consulting, transaction services, and legal fees incurred for acquisitions and certain potential acquisitions, in addition to expenses associated with integrating recent acquisitions. Such expenses were $8.6 million and $1.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively; and $16.0 million and $6.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Also included in the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 was expense of $1.0 million related to the change in the liability association with a Tax Receivable Agreement. Also included for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was a gain of $44.0 million related to the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale. (4) Business Transformation Initiatives – This adjustment is related to consultancy, professional and legal fees incurred for specific initiatives and structural changes to the business that do not reflect the cost of normal business operations. In addition, gains and losses realized from the sale of distribution rights to IOs and the subsequent disposal of trucks, severance costs associated with the elimination of RSP positions, and enterprise resource planning system transition costs fall into this category. The Company incurred such costs of $7.1 million and $4.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively; and $14.5 million and $10.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. (5) Financing-Related Costs – These costs include adjustments for various items related to raising debt and equity capital or debt extinguishment costs. (6) Gains and Losses on Remeasurement of Warrant Liabilities - These liabilities are not expected to be settled in cash, and when exercised would result in a cash inflow to the Company with the warrants converting to Class A Common Stock with the liability being extinguished and the fair value of the warrants at the time of exercise being recorded as an increase to equity.
