UNFI's Q4 sales drop $293M but boost adjusted EBITDA by $56M, signaling efficiency gains.

United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) reported a puzzling Q4 where conventional product sales fell by $293 million, yet this segment contributed $39 million to the company's $56 million increase in adjusted EBITDA. This was driven by planned optimization efforts that reduced sales volume but improved gross profit margins. The company projects fiscal 2027 guidance implying a valuation of about 5.6 times midpoint adjusted EBITDA and an 11% free-cash-flow yield. Despite challenges like thin margins, debt, and customer concentration, UNFI is rated a Buy with a $55 fair value target.
