REVENUE RECOGNITION

NOTE 3—REVENUE RECOGNITION

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company records revenue to five customer channels within Net sales, which are described below:

•Chains, which consists of customer accounts that typically have more than 10 operating stores and excludes stores included within the Supernatural and Other channels defined below;

•Independent retailers, which includes smaller size accounts, including single store and multiple store locations, and group purchasing entities that are not classified within Chains above or Other defined below;

•Supernatural, which consists of chain accounts that are national in scope and carry primarily natural products, and currently consists solely of one customer;

•Retail, which reflects the Company’s Retail segment, including Cub Foods and Shoppers stores; and

•Other, which includes international customers outside of Canada, foodservice, eCommerce, conventional military business and other sales.

The following tables detail the Company’s Net sales for the periods presented by customer channel for each of its segments. The Company does not record its revenues within its Wholesale reportable segment for financial reporting purposes by product group, and it is therefore impracticable for it to report them accordingly.

The Company serves customers in the United States and Canada, as well as customers located in other countries. However, all of the Company’s revenue is earned in the United States and Canada, and international distribution occurs through freight-forwarders. The Company does not have any performance obligations on international shipments subsequent to delivery to the domestic port.

(in millions)	April 29, 2023		July 30, 2022

On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with a third-party financial institution for the sale of certain customer accounts receivable up to a maximum outstanding amount of $300 million, without recourse, subject to eligibility criteria established by the financial institution. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, certain customer receivables are sold to the third-party financial institution on a revolving basis, subject to certain limitations. After these sales, the Company does not retain any interest in the receivables. The Company’s continuing involvement in transferred receivables is limited to servicing the receivables.

Accounts receivable that the Company is servicing on behalf of the financial institution, which would have otherwise been outstanding as of April 29, 2023, was approximately $286 million. Net proceeds received are included within net cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The loss on sale of receivables was $4 million and $9 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2023 year-to-date, respectively, and is recorded within Loss (gain) on sale of assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
