Strategic execution and financial performance
Disciplined execution of network optimization and lean initiatives led to 23% EBITDA growth in Q2 and over $240 million in free cash flow, reducing leverage to 2.7x.
Sales declined 2.6% due to network optimization, but normalized growth was 2.5%, aligning with the low single-digit (LSD) sales growth target through 2028.
Upgraded financial targets include $700 million EBITDA by 2026, $800 million by 2028, and annual free cash flow of $300–$330 million.
Deleveraging targets are set at 2.3x by end of 2026 and 2x by end of 2027, with capital allocation focused on flexibility and growth.
Network optimization resulted in opening two new automated centers and closing five, improving efficiency and profitability.
Market focus and growth strategy
Refined addressable market to $90 billion, focusing on natural, organic, specialty, and multicultural segments, moving away from less differentiated areas.
Growth is led by natural products, with conventional and differentiating retailers also contributing.
Private label penetration in natural/organic is a key opportunity, with recent expansion of 50 new private brands.
Value-added services and professional services are high-margin growth areas, with increasing customer adoption.
Retail operations (Cub) serve as a testbed for new initiatives and differentiation, with new leadership focused on revitalization.
Operational efficiency and technology
Lean Daily Management is deployed in 36 distribution centers, driving 6–7% productivity gains and improved safety and fill rates.
RELEX AI-based inventory management is being rolled out, improving procurement, inventory, and free cash flow; full deployment expected by end of FY 2026.
Warehouse automation is implemented in seven centers, with new builds and retrofits supporting growth and efficiency.
Technology and AI are seen as accelerators for process improvement, with ongoing business case development for broader deployment.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
