"We delivered solid results in the fourth quarter and closed fiscal 2024 with positive momentum as we continued to invest in our Customers for Life strategy," said Vivek Sankaran, CEO. "This strategy has firmly positioned the Company for its next chapter of growth and value creation for shareholders. As previously announced, I am retiring as of May 1, 2025, and am delighted that the Board of Directors has selected Susan Morris to succeed me as CEO. Under Susan's leadership, I have the utmost confidence that she and the entire team will continue to drive future growth and continue to elevate our role with our customers and our communities."
Susan Morris, COO and incoming CEO, said, "I am thrilled to be taking the helm of our Company during this transformational time in our Customers for Life strategy. None of this would be possible without the support of our 285,000 associates who work tirelessly to make it all happen." Morris added, “As we look forward to fiscal 2025 and beyond, we are excited about the investments we have made in our core business, including the growth opportunity inherent in our digital platforms working together to generate deeper engagement, increased digital inventory and acceleration of growth in the Albertsons Media Collective. While fiscal 2025 will be an investment year, beginning in fiscal 2026 we expect to drive growth consistent with our long-term algorithm of 2+% identical sales and Adjusted EBITDA growth higher than identical sales growth."

Fiscal 2025 Outlook
The Company is providing its fiscal 2025 outlook as follows:
-
Identical sales growth in the range of
1.5% to2.5% -
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of
to$3.8 billion , including approximately$3.9 billion related to the Company's 53rd week$65 million -
Adjusted net income per Class A common share in the range of

Capital expenditures in the range of

The Company is unable to provide a full reconciliation of the GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures (as defined below) used in the updated fiscal 2025 outlook without unreasonable effort because it is not possible to predict certain of the adjustment items with a reasonable degree of certainty. This information is dependent upon future events and may be outside of the Company's control and could have a significant impact on its GAAP financial results for fiscal 2025. The expected effective tax rate does not reflect potential future rate adjustments for the resolution of tax audits or potential changes in tax laws, which cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty.
Conference Call
The Company will hold a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, which will be hosted by Vivek Sankaran, CEO, Susan Morris, COO and incoming CEO, and Sharon McCollam, President & CFO. The call will be webcast and can be accessed at https://albertsonscompanies.com/investors/events-and-presentations.

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That Impact Our Operating Results and Trends
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The "forward-looking statements" include our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. They include statements relating to our future operating or financial performance which the Company believes to be reasonable at this time. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "may," "should," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future" and "intends" and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include:
- changes in macroeconomic conditions such as rates of food price inflation or deflation, fuel and commodity prices and uncertainty in international trade including recently announced and potential future tariffs;
- changes in consumer behavior and spending due to the impact of macroeconomic factors;
- changes in price of goods sold in our stores and cost of goods used in our food products due to change in various state and federal government regulations;
- our inability to execute on our standalone business and value-creating strategies following the termination of the merger agreement with Kroger due to prolonged uncertainties and restrictions on our business during the pendency of the merger;
-
litigation in connection with the previously pending merger and the termination of the merger agreement, resulting in ongoing costs, including damages that we may be required to pay in connection with the lawsuit against Kroger, or our inability to collect the
termination fee from Kroger, and negative reactions from the financial markets and our suppliers, customers, and associates as a result of the litigation;$600 million - our ability to recruit and retain qualified associates who are critical to the success of our Customers for Life strategy;
- failure to achieve productivity initiatives, unexpected changes in our objectives and plans, inability to implement our strategies, plans, programs and initiatives, or enter into strategic transactions, investments or partnerships in the future on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
- changes in wage rates and ability to negotiate acceptable contracts with labor unions;
- challenges with our supply chain;
- operational and financial effects resulting from cyber incidents at the Company or at a third party, including outages in the cloud environment and the effectiveness of business continuity plans during a ransomware or other cyber incident; and
- changes in tax rates, tax laws, and regulations that directly impact our business or our customers.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements and risk factors. Forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect our view only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In evaluating our financial results and forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties more fully described in the "Risk Factors" section or other sections in our reports filed with the SEC including the most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
Non-GAAP Measures and Identical Sales
Non-GAAP Measures. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per Class A common share and Net debt ratio (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are performance measures that provide supplemental information the Company believes is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate its ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside other GAAP measures such as net income, operating income, gross margin, and net income per Class A common share. These Non-GAAP Measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing the Company's ongoing core operating performance, and thereby provide useful measures to analysts and investors of its operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Other companies may have different definitions of Non-GAAP Measures and provide for different adjustments, and comparability to the Company's results of operations may be impacted by such differences. The Company also uses Adjusted EBITDA and Net debt ratio for board of director and bank compliance reporting. The Company's presentation of Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
Identical Sales. As used in this earnings release, the term "identical sales" includes stores operating during the same period in both the current fiscal year and the prior fiscal year, comparing sales on a daily basis. Direct to consumer digital sales are included in identical sales, and fuel sales are excluded from identical sales.
