Analysts polled by FactSet expect adjusted earnings of $3.31 a share on sales of $31.95 billion.

The company said it has started onboarding additional business from new and existing customers that it expects to grow revenue in fiscal 2027 after its cycles larger optimization actions.

United Natural Foods' fourth-quarter profit was $35 million, or 57 cents a share, compared with a loss of $87 million, or $1.43 a share, a year earlier.

Adjusted earnings per share were 69 cents, compared with analyst estimates of 61 cents, according to FactSet.
