Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Albertsons Companies, LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 25, 2017 is derived from the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2017, which should be read in conjunction with these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and which are included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 No. 333-218138) Reorganization: Significant Accounting Policies Restricted cash: Inventories, net: The Company uses either item-cost or the retail inventory method to value discrete inventory items at lower of cost or market before application of any last-in, first-out year-end Goodwill: During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, there was a sustained decline in the market multiples of publicly traded peer companies. In addition, during the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2017, the Company revised its short-term operating plan. As a result, the Company determined that an interim review of its recoverability of goodwill was necessary. Consequently, during the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $142.3 million, substantially all within the Acme reporting unit relating to the November 2015 acquisition of stores from The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Inc., due to changes in the estimate of its long-term future financial performance to reflect lower expectations for growth in revenue and earnings than previously estimated. The goodwill impairment loss was based on a quantitative analysis using a combination of a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a guideline public company comparative analysis (market approach). The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill balances (in millions): December 2, February 25, Balance at beginning of period $ 1,167.8 $ 1,131.1 Acquisitions 157.8 36.7 Impairment (142.3 ) — Balance at end of period $ 1,183.3 $ 1,167.8 Income taxes : non-cash non-cash In addition to the Reorganization, on December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which enacts significant changes to U.S. income tax and related laws. Among other things, the Act reduces the top U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, and makes changes to certain other business-related exclusions, deductions and credits. Because a change in tax law is accounted for in the period of enactment, the effect of the Act will be recorded in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter. The Company is currently analyzing the accounting implications of the Act; however, based on a preliminary review, the Company expects to recognize a material non-cash Segments The following table represents sales revenue by type of similar product (dollars in millions): 40 weeks ended December 2, 2017 December 3, 2016 Amount % of Total Amount % of Total Non-perishables $ 20,278.6 44.3 % $ 20,823.7 45.5 % Perishables (2) 18,783.6 40.9 % 18,400.4 40.1 % Pharmacy 3,858.2 8.4 % 3,959.0 8.6 % Fuel 2,399.3 5.2 % 2,076.9 4.5 % Other (3) 571.2 1.2 % 601.6 1.3 % Net sales and other revenue $ 45,890.9 100.0 % $ 45,861.6 100.0 % (1) Consists primarily of general merchandise, grocery and frozen foods.

The Company is composed of retail food businesses and in-store pharmacies with operations primarily located throughout the United States under the banners Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Carrs Quality Centers, Haggen, United Supermarkets, Market Street, Amigos, United Express, Sav-On, Jewel-Osco, Acme, Shaw’s and Star Market. The Company also owns and operates GroceryWorks.com Operating Company, LLC, an online grocery channel, doing business under the names Safeway.com and Vons.com. The Company also has a 49% ownership in Casa Ley, S.A. de C.V. (“Casa Ley”), which operates 230 food and general merchandise stores in Western Mexico. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of AB Acquisition LLC (“AB Acquisition”), and has no separate assets or liabilities other than its investments in its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s business operations are conducted through its operating subsidiaries. The Company’s parent, AB Acquisition, is owned by a consortium of investors led by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”). On January 30, 2015, the Company acquired Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 6, 2014, as amended April 7, 2014 and June 13, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), under which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Safeway (the “Safeway acquisition”). Safeway operated 1,325 supermarkets under the banners Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb and Carrs Quality Centers. Basis of Presentation The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented. The Company’s investment in Casa Ley is recorded using the equity method. Significant Accounting Policies Fiscal year: Use of estimates: Cash and cash equivalents: During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company corrected the classification of certain book overdrafts resulting in an increase of $139.2 million in Cash and cash equivalents and Accounts payable. This correction in classification also resulted in an increase of $139.2 million in Net cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 52 weeks ended February 25, 2017. The Company has determined that the error in classification related to prior annual or interim periods is not material. Restricted cash: Receivables, net: Inventories, net: As of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, approximately 87.4% and 86.6%, respectively, of the Company’s inventories were valued under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. The Company primarily uses the item-cost or the retail inventory method to determine inventory cost before application of any LIFO adjustment. Under the item-cost method, the most recent purchase cost is used to determine the cost of inventory before the application of any LIFO adjustment. Under the retail inventory method, inventory cost is determined, before the application of any LIFO adjustment, by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to various categories of similar items to the retail value of those items. Replacement or current cost was higher than the carrying amount of inventories valued using LIFO by $114.1 million and $122.0 million as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, respectively. Liquidations of LIFO layers during the three years reported did not have a material effect on the results of operations. Cost for the remaining inventories, which represents perishable and fuel inventories, was determined using the most recent purchase cost, which approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Perishables are counted every four weeks and are carried at the last purchased cost which approximates FIFO cost. Fuel inventories are carried at the last purchased cost, which approximates FIFO cost. The Company records inventory shortages based on actual physical counts at its facilities and also provides allowances for inventory shortages for the period between the last physical count and the balance sheet date. Property and equipment, net: Assets under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the future minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset and are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life. Interest capitalized on property under construction was immaterial for all periods presented. Impairment of long-lived assets: Lease exit costs: Intangible assets, net: Business combination measurements: The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined using market, income and cost approaches from the perspective of a market participant. The fair value measurements can be based on significant inputs that are not readily observable in the market. The market approach indicates value for a subject asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets. The market approach used includes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable assets, as well as pricing guides and other sources. The income approach indicates value for a subject asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. Projected cash flows are discounted at a required market rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money. The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility, was used, as appropriate, for certain assets for which the market and income approaches could not be applied due to the nature of the asset. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the asset, adjusted for obsolescence, whether physical, functional or economic. Goodwill: Company-Owned life insurance policies (“COLI”): Interest rate risk management: Energy contracts: Self-Insurance liabilities: Stop-loss The Company has deposits with its insurers to fund workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability claims payments. The Company had $14.9 million and $12.0 million of deposits for its workers’ compensation and automobile liability claims as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, respectively, included in Other assets. The Company has reinsurance receivables of $26.0 million and $39.3 million recorded within Receivables, net and $50.0 million and $52.4 million recorded within Other assets as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, respectively. The self-insurance liabilities and related reinsurance receivables are recorded gross. Changes in self-insurance liabilities consisted of the following (in millions): Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Beginning balance $ 1,320.8 $ 1,445.3 Expense 281.7 293.7 Claim payments (279.6 ) (268.0 ) Other reductions(1) (58.0 ) (150.2 ) Ending balance 1,264.9 1,320.8 Less current portion (293.3 ) (308.7 ) Long-term portion $ 971.6 $ 1,012.1 (1) Primarily reflects the systematic adjustments to the fair value of assumed self-insurance liabilities from acquisitions and actuarial adjustments for claims experience. Deferred rents: straight-line Deferred gains on leases: In addition, deferred gains have been recorded in connection with several sale-leaseback transactions and are recognized over the lives of the leases. The current portion of deferred gains related to sale-leaseback transactions was $44.7 million and $12.5 million as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, respectively, recorded in Other current liabilities, with the long-term portion of $194.7 million and $170.3 million as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, respectively, recorded in Other long-term liabilities. Amortization of deferred gains related to sale-leaseback transactions was $37.0 million, $12.7 million and $13.4 million in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was recorded as a reduction in rent expense. Benefit plans and Multiemployer plans: The Company recognizes a liability for the under-funded status of the defined benefit plans as a component of Other long-term liabilities. Actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits are recorded within Other comprehensive income (loss). The determination of the Company’s obligation and related expense for its sponsored pensions and other post-retirement benefits is dependent, in part, on management’s selection of certain actuarial assumptions in calculating these amounts. These assumptions include, among other things, the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Most union employees participate in multiemployer retirement plans under collective bargaining agreements, unless the collective bargaining agreement provides for participation in plans sponsored by the Company. Pension expense for the multiemployer plans is recognized as contributions are funded. See Note 11—Employee benefit plans and collective bargaining agreements for additional information. Revenue recognition: Cost of sales and vendor allowances: The Company receives vendor allowances or rebates (“Vendor Allowances”) for a variety of merchandising initiatives and buying activities. The terms of the Company’s Vendor Allowances arrangements vary in length but are primarily expected to be completed within a quarter. The Company records Vendor Allowances as a reduction of Cost of sales when the associated products are sold. Vendor Allowances that have been earned as a result of completing the required performance under terms of the underlying agreements but for which the product has not yet been sold are recognized as reductions of inventory. The reduction of inventory for these Vendor Allowances was $72.2 million and $117.9 million as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, respectively. Advertising costs are included in Cost of sales and are expensed in the period the advertising occurs. Cooperative advertising funds are recorded as a reduction of Cost of sales when the advertising occurs. Advertising costs were $502.4 million, $475.8 million and $239.9 million, net of cooperative advertising allowances of $71.9 million, $36.2 million and $16.9 million for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Selling and administrative expenses: Equity-based compensation: Employee awards are recorded under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation Equity-based compensation issued Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees Income taxes: Deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established where management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company reviews tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns to determine whether and to what extent a tax benefit can be recognized. The Company evaluates its positions taken and establishes liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions. The Company reviews these liabilities as facts and circumstances change and adjusts accordingly. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of Income tax expense. The Company is contractually indemnified by SuperValu for any tax liability of NAI arising from tax years prior to the NAI acquisition. The Company is also contractually obligated to pay SuperValu any tax benefit it receives in a tax year after the NAI acquisition as a result of an indemnification payment made by SuperValu. An indemnification asset and liability, where necessary, has been recorded to reflect this arrangement.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	NOTE 4—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The accounting guidance for fair value established a framework for measuring fair value and established a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability at the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The CVR obligation is estimated using the income approach of a discounted cash flow model with a weighted average cost of capital of 9.8%, and a guideline company method resulting in adjusted total invested capital. As of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, the estimated fair value of the CVR obligations were $281.0 million and $269.9 million, respectively. The above inputs used for determining the fair value of the CVR obligations are Level 3 fair value measurements. Changes in the fair value of the CVR obligations can result from changes to the discount rates, as well as the Mexican peso relative to the US Dollar in the case of the Casa Ley CVR.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	NOTE 5 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Interest Rate Risk Management The Company is exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swaps (“Cash Flow Hedges”). The Company’s risk management objective and strategy with respect to interest rate swaps is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on a portion of its outstanding debt. The Company is meeting its objective by hedging the risk of changes in its cash flows (interest payments) attributable to changes in the London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”), the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged (the “hedged risk”), on an amount of the Company’s debt principal equal to the then-outstanding swap notional amount. Cash Flow Interest Rate Swaps For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments, the Company reports the effective portion of the gain or loss as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss) until the interest payments being hedged are recorded as Interest expense, net, at which time the amounts in Other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified as an adjustment to Interest expense, net. Gains or losses on any ineffective portion of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships are recorded in the period in which they occur as a component of Other expense (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company has entered into several swaps with maturity dates in 2019 and 2021 to hedge against variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on a portion of the Company’s outstanding variable rate term debt. The aggregate notional amounts of all swaps as of both December 2, 2017 and February 25, 2017 were $3,968.6 million, of which $3,910.6 million are designated as Cash Flow Hedges as defined by GAAP. The undesignated portion of the Company’s interest rate swaps is attributable to principal payments expected to be made through the loan’s maturity. As of December 2, 2017 and February 25, 2017, the fair value of the cash flow interest rate swap liability was $50.5 million and $99.2 million, respectively, and is included in Other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is meeting its objective by hedging the risk of changes in its cash flows (interest payments) attributable to changes in the London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”), the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged (the “hedged risk”), on an amount of the Company’s debt principal equal to the then-outstanding swap notional amount. Cash Flow Interest Rate Swaps For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments, the Company reports the effective portion of the gain or loss as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss) until the interest payments being hedged are recorded as Interest expense, net, at which time the amounts in Other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified as an adjustment to Interest expense, net. Gains or losses on any ineffective portion of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships are recorded in the period in which they occur as a component of Other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company entered into several swaps with maturity dates in 2019 and 2021 to hedge against variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on a portion of the Company’s outstanding variable rate term debt. The aggregate notional amount of all swaps as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, were $3,968.6 million and $4,820.2 million, of which $3,910.6 million and $4,762.2 million are designated as Cash Flow Hedges, respectively, as defined by GAAP. The undesignated portion of the Company’s interest rate swaps is attributable to principal payments expected to be made through the loan’s maturity. Deal-Contingent Swap During fiscal 2014, the Company entered into a deal-contingent interest rate swap (“Deal-Contingent Swap”) used to hedge against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on anticipated variable rate debt issuances in connection with the Safeway acquisition. In accordance with the swap agreement, the Company receives a floating rate of interest and pays a fixed rate of interest for the life of the contract. The aggregate notional amount of the Deal Contingent Swap as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016 was $2,300.6 million and $2,548.2 million, respectively. At the close of the Safeway acquisition, the Company designated it as a cash flow hedge. The fair value of the swap liability on the designation date was $96.1 million with changes in fair value recorded through earnings for the period prior to the designation date. This charge is included in Other (income) expense in the fiscal 2014 Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, the fair value of the cash flow interest rate swap liability was $99.2 million and $171.2 million, respectively, and was recorded in Other current liabilities. Contemporaneously with the refinancing of the Albertsons Term Loans on December 23, 2016, (as described in Note 8—Long term debt), the Company amended each of its existing interest rate swaps to reduce the floor on LIBOR from 100 basis points to 75 basis points. As a result, the Company dedesignated its original cash flow hedges and redesignated the amended swaps prospectively. Losses of $23.9 million, net of tax, deferred into OCI as of the dedesignation date, which are associated with the original cash flow hedges, will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the hedges. Activity related to the Company’s derivative instruments designated as Cash Flow Hedges consisted of the following (in millions): Amount of income (loss) Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Location of income (loss) Designated interest rate swaps $ 39.4 $ (46.9 ) Other comprehensive Activity related to the Company’s derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments consisted of the following (in millions): Amount of income (loss) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Location of income (loss) recognized from derivatives Undesignated and ineffective portion of interest rate swaps $ 0.8 $ (2.9 ) Other (income) expense

There are no restrictions on the Company’s ability to receive distributions from its subsidiaries to fund interest and principal payments due under the ABL Facility, the Albertsons Term Loans and the Company’s senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). Each of the ABL Facility, Albertsons Term Loans and the Senior Unsecured Notes restrict the ability of the Company to pay dividends and distribute property to AB Acquisition. As a result, all of the Company’s consolidated net assets are effectively restricted with respect to their ability to be transferred to AB Acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ABL Facility, Albertsons Term Loans and the Senior Unsecured Notes each contain customary exceptions for certain dividends and distributions, including the ability to make cumulative distributions under the Albertsons Term Loans and Senior Unsecured Notes of up to the greater of $1.0 billion or 4% of the Company’s total assets (which is measured at the time of such distribution) and the ability to make distributions if certain payment conditions are satisfied under the ABL Facility. During the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2017, the Company utilized the foregoing exception in connection with the Distribution (as defined herein). The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and provisions as of and for the 40 weeks ended December 2, 2017. Term Loans On June 16, 2017, the Company repaid $250.0 million of the existing term loans. In connection with the repayment, the Company wrote off $7.6 million of deferred financing costs and original issue discount. In addition, on June 27, 2017, the Company entered into a repricing amendment to the term loan agreement which established three new term loan tranches. The new tranches consist of $3,013.6 million of a new Term B-4 B-5 B-6 B-4 B-5 B-6 NAI Notes During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company repurchased NAI Notes with a par value of $141.0 million and a book value of $123.9 million for $118.9 million plus accrued interest of $3.2 million (“NAI Notes Repurchase”). In connection with the NAI Notes Repurchase, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $5.0 million. Asset-Based Loan Facility As of December 2, 2017 and February 25, 2017, there were no loans outstanding under the Company’s ABL Facility, and letters of credit (“LOC”) issued under the LOC sub-facility Capitalized Lease Obligations The Company’s capitalized lease obligations were $873.4 million and $954.0 million as of December 2, 2017 and February 25, 2017, respectively. Current maturities of capitalized lease obligations were $99.3 million and $114.7 million and long-term maturities were $774.1 million and $839.3 million, as of December 2, 2017 and February 25, 2017, respectively.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	NOTE 7—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Pension Plans On May 15, 2016, the Company, through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Collington Services, LLC (“Collington”) from C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“C&S”) for nominal cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities, primarily related to employee compensation and benefits of the workforce acquired. Prior to the acquisition, C&S, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Collington, managed and operated the Company’s distribution center located in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. By purchasing the equity of Collington, the Company settled a pre-existing The Company also contributes to various multiemployer pension plans based on obligations arising from most of its collective bargaining agreements. These plans provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The Company recognizes expense in connection with these plans as contributions are funded. Other Post-Retirement Benefits In connection with the Collington transaction, the Company negotiated with the respective unions a new unfunded post-retirement obligation with a projected benefit obligation of approximately $15.5 million, recorded through Other comprehensive income (loss) as prior service cost during the first quarter of 2016. The following tables provide the components of net pension and post-retirement expense (in millions): 40 weeks ended Pension Other post-retirement benefits December 2, December 3, December 2, December 3, Estimated return on plan assets $ (92.0 ) $ (92.1 ) $ — $ — Service cost 38.3 37.7 0.8 0.2 Interest cost 67.9 64.3 0.7 0.6 Amortization of prior service cost 0.1 — 2.8 1.7 Amortization of unrecognized loss 0.3 — — — Collington acquisition — 78.9 — — Net expense $ 14.6 $ 88.8 $ 4.3 $ 2.5 The Company contributed $19.8 million and $9.5 million to its defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement benefit plans during the 40 weeks ended December 2, 2017 and December 3, 2016, respectively. For the remainder of fiscal 2017, the Company currently anticipates contributing an additional $2.1 million to these plans. Defined Contribution Plans and Supplemental Retirement Plans Many of the Company’s employees are eligible to contribute a percentage of their compensation to defined contribution plans (“401(k) Plans”). Participants in the 401(k) Plans may become eligible to receive a profit-sharing allocation in the form of a discretionary Company contribution based on employee compensation. In addition, the Company may also provide matching contributions based on the amount of eligible compensation contributed by the employee. All Company contributions to the 401(k) Plans are made at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Managers. For the 40 weeks ended December 2, 2017 and December 3, 2016, total contributions expensed were $32.6 million and $30.6 million, respectively.	NOTE 11—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS Pension Plans The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (the “Shaw’s Plan”) covering union employees under the Shaw’s banner. The Company also sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (the “Safeway Plan”) for substantially all of its employees under the Safeway banners not participating in multiemployer pension plans. Effective April 1, 2015, the Company implemented a soft freeze of the Safeway Plan. A soft freeze means that all existing employees as of March 31, 2015 currently participating will remain in the Safeway Plan but any new eligible employees hired after that date will no longer be part of the Safeway Plan but instead will be offered retirement benefits under an enhanced 401(k) program. The Company also sponsors a frozen plan covering certain employees under the United banners and a Retirement Restoration Plan that provides death benefits and supplemental income payments for certain senior executives after retirement. The Retirement Restoration Plan is unfunded. On May 15, 2016, the Company, through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Collington Services, LLC (“Collington”) from C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“C&S”) for nominal cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities, primarily related to employee compensation and benefits of the workforce acquired. Prior to the acquisition, C&S, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Collington, managed and operated the Company’s distribution center located in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. By purchasing the equity of Collington, the Company settled a pre-existing reimbursement arrangement under the previous supply agreement relating to the pension plan in which Collington employees participate. Consequently, the Company, through its newly acquired subsidiary, Collington, assumed primary liability for the Collington employees participating in the pension plan. Prior to the acquisition of Collington, the pension plan was a multiple employer plan, with Safeway and C&S being the respective employers. The Safeway portion of the plan was accounted for as a multiemployer plan, with the C&S portion being accounted for by the Company through the previous supply agreement. Also, contemporaneously with the acquisition of Collington, the Company negotiated a new supply agreement with C&S and negotiated concessions directly from the unions representing the Collington employees at the distribution center. The acquisition of Collington resulted in a charge of approximately $78.9 million to net pension expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Upon the assumption of the C&S portion of the pension plan through the equity acquisition, the multiple-employer pension plan will be accounted for as a single employer plan. The plan assets were commingled with the assets in the Safeway Plan under a master trust arrangement prior to this transaction and on December 30, 2016 this plan and the Safeway Plan were formally merged. Other Post-Retirement Benefits In addition to the Company’s pension plans, the Company provides post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits to certain employees. Retirees share a portion of the cost of the post-retirement medical plans. The Company pays all the cost of the life insurance plans. The plans are unfunded. Additionally, in connection with the Collington transaction, the Company negotiated with the respective unions a new unfunded post-retirement obligation with a projected benefit obligation of approximately $15.5 million, recorded through Other comprehensive income (loss) as prior service cost during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. As of February 27, 2016, the Company changed the method used to estimate the service and interest rate components of net periodic benefit cost for its defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans. Historically, the service and interest rate components were estimated using a single weighted average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning on the period. The Company has elected to use a full yield curve approach in the estimation of service and interest cost components of net pension and other post-retirement benefit plan expense by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the projected benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The Company made this change to improve the correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding yield curve spot rates and to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs. This change does not affect the measurement and calculation of the Company’s total benefit obligations. The Company has accounted for this change as a change in estimate that is inseparable from a change in accounting principle and accounted for it prospectively beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. This change did not have a material impact on the Company’s fiscal 2016 net pension expense. The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the retirement plans’ benefit obligation and fair value of assets over the two-year period ended February 25, 2017 and a statement of funded status as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016 (in millions): Pension Other Post-Retirement February 25, February 27, February 25, February 27, Change in projected benefit obligation: Beginning balance $ 2,431.8 $ 2,724.8 $ 16.7 $ 19.0 Collington acquisition 222.3 — 15.5 — Service cost 49.3 56.7 0.2 — Interest cost 87.6 104.0 0.9 0.6 Actuarial loss (gain) 22.1 (173.3 ) — (1.3 ) Plan participant contributions — — 0.7 0.9 Benefit payments (200.1 ) (280.4 ) (2.8 ) (2.5 ) Ending balance $ 2,613.0 $ 2,431.8 $ 31.2 $ 16.7 Change in fair value of plan assets: Beginning balance $ 1,717.5 $ 2,144.1 $ — $ — Collington acquisition 143.4 — — Actual return on plan assets 264.6 (152.0 ) — — Employer contributions 9.4 5.8 2.1 1.6 Plan participant contributions — — 0.7 0.9 Benefit payments (200.1 ) (280.4 ) (2.8 ) (2.5 ) Ending balance $ 1,934.8 $ 1,717.5 $ — $ — Components of net amount recognized in financial position: Other current liabilities $ (6.0 ) $ (5.7 ) $ (1.8 ) $ (1.8 ) Other long-term liabilities (672.2 ) (708.6 ) (29.4 ) (14.9 ) Funded status $ (678.2 ) $ (714.3 ) $ (31.2 ) $ (16.7 ) Amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of the following (in millions): Pension Other Post-Retirement Benefits Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Net actuarial gain $ (142.8 ) $ (24.6 ) $ (1.6 ) $ (1.6 ) Prior service cost 0.4 0.3 13.0 — $ (142.4 ) $ (24.3 ) $ 11.4 $ (1.6 ) Information for the Company’s pension plans, all of which have an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, is shown below (in millions): February 25, 2017 February 27, 2016 Projected benefit obligation $ 2,613.0 $ 2,431.8 Accumulated benefit obligation 2,572.0 2,368.9 Fair value of plan assets 1,934.8 1,717.5 The following table provides the components of net expense for the retirement plans and other changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) (in millions): Pension Other Post-Retirement Benefits Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Components of net expense: Estimated return on plan assets $ (123.9 ) $ (143.2 ) $ — $ — Service cost 49.3 56.7 0.2 — Interest cost 87.6 104.0 0.9 0.6 Amortization of prior service cost — — 2.5 — Amortization of net actuarial gain — 0.1 — — Collington acquisition 78.9 — — — Settlement gain — (4.1 ) — — Net expense 91.9 13.5 3.6 0.6 Changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss): Net actuarial (gain) loss (118.5 ) 121.5 — (1.3 ) Recognition of net actuarial gain — 4.0 — — Prior service cost 0.2 0.3 15.5 — Recognition of prior service cost — — (2.5 ) — Total recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) (118.3 ) 125.8 13.0 (1.3 ) Total net expense and changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss) $ (26.4 ) $ 139.3 $ 16.6 $ (0.7 ) Prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants. When the accumulation of actuarial gains and losses exceeds 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets, the excess is amortized over the average remaining service period of active participants. No significant prior service costs or estimated net actuarial gain or loss is expected to be amortized from Other comprehensive income (loss) into periodic benefit cost during fiscal 2017. Assumptions The weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine year-end projected benefit obligations for pension plans were as follows: February 25, 2017 February 27, 2016 Discount rate 4.21 % 4.25 % Rate of compensation increase 2.88 % 3.31 % The weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit costs for pension plans were as follows: February 25, 2017 February 27, 2016 Discount rate 4.25 % 3.92 % Expected return on plan assets: 6.96 % 6.96 % On February 27, 2016, the Company adopted the new MP-2015 projection scale to the RP-2014 mortality table to be applied on a generational basis for calculating the Company’s 2015 year-end benefit plan obligations. The tables assume an improvement in life expectancy in the future but at a slower rate than the MP-2014 projection scale to the RP-2014 mortality table used for calculating the Company’s 2014 year-end benefit plan obligations and 2015 expense. Similarly, on February 25, 2017, the Company adopted the new MP-2016 projection scale which assumes an improvement in life expectancy at a slower rate than the MP-2015 projection scale. The change to the mortality table projection scale results in a decrease to the Company’s current year benefit obligation and future expenses. The Company has adopted and implemented an investment policy for the defined benefit pension plans that incorporates a strategic long-term asset allocation mix designed to meet the Company’s long-term pension requirements. This asset allocation policy is reviewed annually and, on a regular basis, actual allocations are rebalanced to the prevailing targets. The following table summarizes actual allocations for the Safeway Plan which had $1.7 billion in plan assets as of February 25, 2017: Plan Assets Asset category Target February 25, 2017 February 27, 2016 Equity 65 % 63.1 % 60.5 % Fixed income 35 % 36.2 % 39.4 % Cash and other — 0.7 % 0.1 % Total 100 % 100.0 % 100.0 % The following table summarizes the actual allocations for the Shaw’s Plan which had approximately $227 million in plan assets as of February 25, 2017: Plan Assets Asset category Target February 25, 2017 February 27, 2016 Equity 65 % 66.7 % 62.9 % Fixed income 35 % 33.3 % 37.1 % Cash and other — — % — % Total 100 % 100.0 % 100.0 % The target market value of equity securities for the United Plan is 50% of plan assets. If the equity percentage exceeds 60% or drops below 40%, the asset allocation is adjusted to target. The following table summarizes the actual allocations for the United Plan which had approximately $50 million in plan assets as of February 25, 2017: Plan Assets Asset category Target February 25, 2017 February 27, 2016 Equity 50 % 51.0 % 56.1 % Fixed income 50 % 31.0 % 34.5 % Cash and other — 18.0 % 9.4 % Total 100 % 100.0 % 100.0 % The investment policy also emphasizes the following key objectives: (1) maintaining a diversified portfolio among asset classes and investment styles; (2) maintaining an acceptable level of risk in pursuit of long-term economic benefit; (3) maximizing the opportunity for value-added returns from active investment management while establishing investment guidelines and monitoring procedures for each investment manager to ensure the characteristics of the portfolio are consistent with the original investment mandate; and (4) maintaining adequate controls over administrative costs. Expected return on pension plan assets is based on historical experience of the Company’s portfolios and the review of projected returns by asset class on broad, publicly traded equity and fixed-income indices, as well as target asset allocation. The Company’s target asset allocation mix is designed to meet the Company’s long-term pension requirements.

Contributions In fiscal 2016 and 2015, the Company contributed $11.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, to its pension and post-retirement plans. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company contributed $260.0 million to the Safeway Plan under a settlement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in connection with the Safeway acquisition closing. The Company expects to contribute approximately $21.9 million to its pension and post-retirement plans in fiscal 2017. The Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan is to contribute the minimum contribution required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and other applicable laws as determined by the Company’s external actuarial consultant. At the Company’s discretion, additional funds may be contributed to the defined benefit pension plans. The Company will recognize contributions in accordance with applicable regulations, with consideration given to recognition for the earliest plan year permitted. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service as appropriate, are expected to be paid (in millions): Pension Benefits Other Benefits 2017 $ 149.8 $ 1.8 2018 164.4 1.8 2019 165.7 1.7 2020 167.7 1.6 2021 168.7 1.5 2022 – 2026 840.9 5.9 Multiemployer Pension Plans The Company contributes to various multiemployer pension plans. These multiemployer plans generally provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The benefits are paid from assets held in trust for that purpose. Plan trustees typically are responsible for determining the level of benefits to be provided to participants as well as the investment of the assets and plan administration. Expense is recognized in connection with these plans as contributions are funded. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from the risks associated with single-employer plans in the following respects: • Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. • If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. • If the Company chooses to stop participating in some multiemployer plans, or makes market exits or store closures or otherwise has participation in the plan fall below certain levels, the Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. The Company records the actuarially determined estimated liability at an undiscounted amount. The Company’s participation in these plans is outlined in the table below. The EIN-Pension Plan Number column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number, if applicable. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act zone status (“PPA”) available for fiscal 2016 and 2015 is for the plan’s year ending at December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively. The zone status is based on information received from the plans and is certified by each plan’s actuary. The FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) is either pending or has been implemented by the plan trustees. Certain plans have been aggregated in the Other funds line in the following table, as the contributions to each of these plans are not individually material. None of the Company’s collective bargaining agreements require that a minimum contribution be made to these plans. As a part of the Safeway acquisition, the Company assumed withdrawal liabilities related to Safeway’s previous closure of its Dominick’s division. The respective pension plans have asserted that the Company may become obligated to pay an estimated maximum withdrawal liability of approximately $510.0 million if one of the pension plans, the UFCW & Employers Midwest Pension Fund (the “UFCW Midwest Plan”), were to experience a mass withdrawal. A mass withdrawal would require monthly installment payments to be made by the Company in perpetuity. The Company’s installment payments would be limited to 20 years if the Company is not part of, or the UFCW Midwest Plan does not experience, a mass withdrawal. Upon the Safeway acquisition, the Company recorded a $221.8 million multiemployer pension withdrawal liability related to Safeway’s withdrawal from these plans, a difference of $288.2 million from the maximum withdrawal liability. The Company’s current estimate of the withdrawal liability is based on the fact that a mass withdrawal from the UFCW Midwest Plan has not occurred and the Company’s management’s belief that a mass withdrawal liability is remote. The Company is also disputing in arbitration certain factors used to determine the allocation of the unfunded vested benefits and therefore the annual pension payment installments due to the UFCW Midwest Plan. The Company’s estimated liability reflects the Company’s best estimate of the probable outcome of this arbitration. Based on the current facts and circumstances, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the estimated liability could change from the amount currently recorded as a result of the arbitration, but because the Company’s management believes that a mass withdrawal from the UFCW Midwest Plan is remote, it believes the payment of the maximum liability of approximately $510.0 million is also remote. The amount of the withdrawal liability recorded as of February 25, 2017 with respect to the Dominick’s division was $180.1 million, primarily reflecting minimum required payments made subsequent to the date of consummation of the Safeway acquisition The number of employees covered by the Company’s multiemployer plans increased significantly from February 28, 2015 to February 27, 2016 affecting the year-to-year comparability of the contributions. The increase in employees covered is a direct result of the Safeway acquisition.

These categories are based upon the funding ratio of the plan assets to plan liabilities. In general, Green Zone plans have a funding ratio greater than 80%, Yellow Zone plans have a funding ratio between 65—79%, and Red Zone plans have a funding ratio less than 65%. (2) The information for this fund was obtained from the Form 5500 filed for the plan’s year-end at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. (3) Sound Retirement Trust information includes former Washington Meat Industry Pension Trust due to merger into Sound Retirement Trust, effective June 30, 2014. The information for this fund was obtained from the Form 5500 filed for the plan’s year-end at September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. (4) The information for this fund was obtained from the Form 5500 filed for the plan’s year-end at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014. (5) Under the PPA, a surcharge may be imposed when employers make contributions under a collective bargaining agreement that is not in compliance with a rehabilitation plan. As of February 25, 2017, the collective bargaining agreements under which the Company was making contributions were in compliance with rehabilitation plans adopted by the applicable pension fund. (6) These columns represent the number of most significant collective bargaining agreements aggregated by common expiration dates for each of the Company’s pension funds listed above. Collective Bargaining Agreements As of February 25, 2017, the Company had approximately 273,000 employees, of which approximately 170,000 were covered by collective bargaining agreements. During fiscal 2016, collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 82,000 employees were renegotiated. During fiscal 2017, 103 collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 10,000 employees are scheduled to expire. Multiemployer Health and Welfare Plans The Company makes contributions to multiemployer health and welfare plans in amounts set forth in the related collective bargaining agreements. These plans provide medical, dental, pharmacy, vision, and other ancillary benefits to active employees and retirees as determined by the trustees of each plan. The vast majority of the Company’s contributions covers active employees and as such, may not constitute contributions to a postretirement benefit plan. However, the Company is unable to separate contribution amounts to postretirement benefit plans from contribution amounts paid to active plans. Total contributions to multiemployer health and welfare plans were $1,158.6 million, $1,100.7 million and $316.2 million for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Defined Contribution Plans and Supplemental Retirement Plans Many of the Company’s employees are eligible to contribute a percentage of their compensation to defined contribution plans (“401(k) Plans”). Participants in the 401(k) Plans may become eligible to receive a profit-sharing allocation in the form of a discretionary Company contribution based on employee compensation. In addition, the Company may also provide matching contributions based

RELATED PARTIES AND OTHER RELATIONSHIPS	NOTE 8—RELATED PARTIES AND OTHER RELATIONSHIPS Contractual Agreements with SuperValu On October 17, 2017, the Company exercised its right to terminate the Transition Services Agreements (“TSAs”) with SUPERVALU INC. (“SuperValu”). The Company’s TSAs will terminate during the third quarter of fiscal 2018, subject to certain exceptions. Summary of SuperValu activity Activities with SuperValu that are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss consisted of the following (in millions): 40 weeks ended December 2, December 3, Supply agreements included in Cost of sales $ 1,287.9 $ 1,353.9 Selling and administrative expenses 96.5 123.9 Total $ 1,384.4 $ 1,477.8 Equity-Based Incentive Plans Certain employees of the Company participate in equity-based incentive plans that are maintained by the Company’s parent. Awards under the plans vest over a service period, or upon a combination of both a service period and achievement of certain performance-based thresholds. For the 40 weeks ended December 2, 2017 and December 3, 2016, equity-based compensation expense was $24.6 million and $34.2 million, respectively. During the 40 weeks ended December 2, 2017, achievement of the 2017 performance threshold was not deemed to be probable, therefore there was no equity-based compensation expense recognized during fiscal 2017 related to the unvested 2017 performance-based awards. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $5.0 million and $7.2 million related to equity-based compensation for the 40 weeks ended December 2, 2017 and December 3, 2016, respectively. As of December 2, 2017, there was $45.9 million of unrecognized costs related to awards granted under the equity-based incentive plans that the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. On June 30, 2017, the Company’s parent, made a cash distribution of $250.0 million to its members (the “Distribution”). In connection with the Distribution, the AB Acquisition members’ agreement was amended such that holders of the Investor incentive units, Series 1 incentive units and Series 2 incentive units would participate in the Distribution. As a result of the amendment, equity-based compensation expense recognized for the 40 weeks ended December 2, 2017 includes $2.4 million of additional expense.	NOTE 12—RELATED PARTIES Transition Services Agreement with SuperValu The Consolidated Financial Statements include expenses for certain support functions provided by SuperValu through Transition Services Agreements (“TSA”) including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, warehouse and distribution, human resources, communications, processing and handling cardholder data, and procurement of goods. Fees are calculated on a per-store and distribution center basis of fixed and variable costs for services. The Company also paid a transition fee of $60.0 million that was amortized on a straight line basis over the original 30-month life of the agreement. On April 16, 2015, the Company entered into a letter agreement regarding the TSA with SuperValu (the “TSA Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which SuperValu will provide services to the Company as needed to transition and wind down the TSA and the services SuperValu provides under the TSA. In exchange for these transition and wind down services, the agreement calls for eight payments of $6.25 million every six months for aggregate fees of $50.0 million. These payments are separate from and incremental to the fixed and variable fees the Company pays to SuperValu under the TSA. The parties also agreed to negotiate in good faith if either the costs associated with the transition and wind down services are materially higher (i.e. 5.0% or more) than anticipated, or SuperValu is not performing in all material respects the transition and wind down services as needed to support the Company’s transition and wind down activities. On May 28, 2015, the Company reached an agreement with SuperValu to resolve certain matters. As part of the agreement, SuperValu paid the Company $34.5 million. The Company recorded the payment as a deferred liability and is amortizing it as a reduction of expense over four years. On September 9, 2016, the Company exercised its right to renew the term of the TSA with SuperValu for an additional year. The original TSA had an initial term expiring on September 21, 2015 and included 10 options for additional one-year renewals with notice given to SuperValu at least 12 months prior to the expiration of the then current term. The renewal extends the TSA through September 21, 2018. Summary of SuperValu activity Related party activities with SuperValu that are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss consisted of the following (in millions): Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Fiscal 2014 Supply agreements included in Cost of sales $ 1,749.1 $ 1,496.6 $ 1,359.4 Selling and administrative expenses 157.1 190.6 215.2 Total $ 1,906.2 $ 1,687.2 $ 1,574.6 Trademark Cross-Licensing Agreements In conjunction with the NAI acquisition, the Company entered into separate trademark cross-licensing agreements with SuperValu. These cross-licensing agreements include a limited royalty-free license to certain proprietary rights (e.g., trademarks, trade names, trade dress, service marks, banners, etc.) among and between the entities. The term of the trademark cross-licensing agreement is consistent with the term of the TSA. Cerberus and AB Acquisition In connection with the Safeway acquisition, the original management agreement with Cerberus was terminated, and the remaining annual management fees of $9.0 million were paid by the Company. A new management agreement with Cerberus and the consortium of investors commenced on January 30, 2015, requiring an annual management fee of $13.8 million, beginning January 30, 2015. The agreement term is four years. Certain employees of the Company participate in equity-based incentive plans of its parent, AB Acquisition. Awards under the plans vest over a service period, achievement of certain performance and related thresholds, or a combination of both. Employee compensation expense recognized by the Company related to these plans was $53.3 million, $97.8 million and $152.5 million during fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. On January 30, 2015, the Company’s parent, AB Acquisition issued fully vested, non-forfeitable incentive units to certain nonemployee Members for acquisition and transaction services related to the Safeway acquisition. As a result, the Company recognized $191.6 million of equity-based compensation expense to non-employees during fiscal 2014. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $11.1 million and $12.5 million related to equity-based compensation in fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. No tax benefit was recognized for equity-based compensation for fiscal 2014. As of February 25, 2017 there was $64.5 million of unrecognized costs related to awards granted by AB Acquisition that the Company expects to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Some of these suits purport or may be determined to be class actions and/or seek substantial damages. It is the opinion of the Company’s management that although the amount of liability with respect to certain of the matters described herein cannot be ascertained at this time, any resulting liability of these and other matters, including any punitive damages, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition. The Company continually evaluates its exposure to loss contingencies arising from pending or threatened litigation and believes it has made provisions where the loss contingency can be reasonably estimated and an adverse outcome is probable. Nonetheless, assessing and predicting the outcomes of these matters involves substantial uncertainties. Management currently believes that the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss for the Company’s exposure in excess of the amount accrued is expected to be immaterial to the Company.

NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Guarantees California Department of Industrial Relations Lease Guarantees : In connection with FTC-mandated divestitures, the Company assigned leases with respect to 93 store properties to Haggen. On September 8, 2015, Haggen commenced a case under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and on October 19, 2015, Haggen secured Bankruptcy Court approval of bidding procedures for the sale of 130 stores that the Company sold to it (including 72 leased stores and 12 ground leased stores). Haggen held an auction for those stores in November 2015. After participating in the auction, having additional negotiations with Haggen, and receiving FTC and state attorneys general clearance, and bankruptcy court approval, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company acquired 19 assigned leases from Haggen for an aggregate purchase price of $10.7 million. Also during the auction, there were 38 assigned leases acquired by and assigned to other retailers and four assigned store leases acquired by the landlord. Two store leases were re-negotiated by Haggen prior to its bankruptcy, and one store lease was re-negotiated by Haggen during bankruptcy, thus eliminating the Company’s contingent liability with respect to these three leases. Haggen has rejected, in its bankruptcy case, 11 store leases for which the Company has contingent lease liability. As a result of the rejections, the Company has recorded a loss of $32.2 million for this contingent liability, of which $30.6 million was recorded during fiscal 2015 and $1.6 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Haggen secured Bankruptcy Court approval of bidding procedures for the sale of its 33 “core stores” on December 4, 2015. After receipt of FTC and Washington state attorney general clearance, the Company submitted a proposal to acquire 29 of the Haggen core stores. Haggen determined that the Company’s offer was the highest and best bid and declared the Company the sole qualifying bidder in a notice filed with the Bankruptcy Court on March 11, 2016. On March 29, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered the order approving the sale of the 29 core stores to the Company for the aggregate purchase price of approximately $113.8 million, including inventory, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the applicable asset purchase agreement. The acquisition closed in June 2016. The 29 stores acquired include six assigned store leases and two assigned ground leases. The Company could also be responsible for Haggen’s obligations under the remaining 10 ground leases the Company assigned to it. However, these leases were assigned to a Haggen entity that is not a debtor in the bankruptcy case. The Company believes this Haggen entity has divested itself of the majority of these ground leases through third-party sales. The Company does not know whether Haggen or, for certain ground leases the applicable acquiring entity, will default on these ground lease obligations. The Company also does not know what defenses may be available, including any loss mitigation obligations of the landlords under the terms of the ground leases or applicable law. As a result, the Company is currently unable to estimate its losses with respect to any potential contingent liability with respect to these ground leases. With respect to other leases the Company has assigned to third parties (including the leases Haggen had acquired but assigned to third parties), because of the wide dispersion among third parties and the variety of remedies available, the Company believes that if an assignee became insolvent, it would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. No liability has been recorded for assigned leases in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet related to these contingent obligations. The Company also provides guarantees, indemnifications and assurances to others in the ordinary course of its business. Legal Contingencies Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including suits charging violations of certain wage and hour or civil rights laws, are pending against the Company. Some of these suits purport or have been determined to be class actions and/or seek substantial damages. Any damages that may be awarded in antitrust cases will be automatically trebled. The Company continually evaluates its exposure to loss contingencies arising from pending or threatened litigation and believes it has made provisions where the loss contingency can be reasonably estimated and an adverse outcome is probable. Nonetheless, assessing and predicting the outcomes of these matters involves substantial uncertainties. Management currently believes that the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss for the Company’s exposure in excess of the amount accrued is expected to be immaterial to the Company. It remains possible that despite management’s current belief, material differences in actual outcomes or changes in management’s evaluation or predictions could arise that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Haggen, et al : On September 1, 2015, Haggen commenced a lawsuit against Albertson’s LLC and Albertson’s Holdings LLC in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging claims for violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, attempted monopolization under the Sherman Act, breach of contract, indemnification, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets under the Uniform Trade Secrets Acts, conversion and violation of the Washington Consumer Protection Act (the “District Court Action”) and alleged that its damages may exceed $1.0 billion. On September 8, 2015, Haggen filed a petition for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and the State Court Action was stayed due to Haggen’s bankruptcy case. Also as a result of the bankruptcy case, the Company recorded an allowance of $41.1 million against the amount owed by Haggen for the purchased inventory during the second quarter ended September 12, 2015. On September 17, 2015, the Company received a letter from the legal counsel of another purchaser of a small number of the Company’s FTC-mandated divested stores, alleging claims similar to those presented in Haggen’s lawsuit, which the Company believes are without merit. On January 21, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with (i) Haggen and its debtor and non-debtor affiliates, (ii) the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in Haggen’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case (the “Creditors’ Committee”), (iii) Comvest Partners and its affiliates and (iv) Cerberus Capital Management, pursuant to which the Company resolved the disputes in the State Court Action and the District Court Action (together, the “Haggen Litigations”). The settlement agreement provides for the dismissal with prejudice of the Haggen Litigations in exchange for (a) a cash payment by the Company of $5.75 million to a creditor trust to be formed by the Creditors’ Committee, (b) an agreement that the Company will have an allowed unsecured claim against Haggen in its bankruptcy case of $8.25 million, which the Company will transfer to the creditor trust, and (c) an exchange of releases of any and all claims among the settling parties. The settlement agreement was approved by an order of the Bankruptcy Court administering the Haggen bankruptcy case on February 16, 2016, and the order became final on March 2, 2016. Subsequently, the State Court Action was dismissed with prejudice on March 7, 2016, the District Court Action was dismissed with prejudice on March 8, 2016, and the Company paid $5.75 million to the creditor trust on March 11, 2016. The $5.75 million was recorded as a loss in fiscal 2015 and is incremental to the losses of $41.1 million related to the purchased inventory in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and $32.2 million related to the Company’s contingent lease liability for the rejected Haggen leases. Appraisal of Safeway Inc . : In re Appraisal of Safeway Inc. Security Breach: On August 5, 2016, the Company was notified that MasterCard had asserted its initial assessment for incremental counterfeit fraud losses and non-ordinary course expenses (such as card reissuance costs) as well as its case management assessment. The Company believes it is probable that other payment card networks will make claims against the Company. If other payment card networks assert claims against the Company, the Company currently intends to dispute those claims and assert available defenses. At the present time, the Company believes that it is probable that the Company will incur a loss in connection with the claims or potential claims from the payment card networks. On December 5, 2016, the Company was further notified that MasterCard has asserted its final assessment of approximately $6.0 million, which the Company paid on December 9, 2016; however the Company disputes the MasterCard assessment and, on March 10, 2017, filed a lawsuit against MasterCard seeking recovery of the assessment. The Company has recorded an estimated liability for probable losses that it expects to incur in connection with the claims or potential claims to be made by the payment card networks. The estimated liability is based on information currently available to the Company and may change as new information becomes available or if other payment card networks assert claims against the Company. The Company will continue to evaluate information as it becomes available and will record an estimate of additional losses, if any, when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Currently, the potential range of any loss above the Company’s currently recorded amount cannot be reasonably estimated given no claims have been asserted to date by the payment card networks, other than MasterCard, and because significant factual and legal issues remain unresolved. On October 20, 2015, the Company agreed with one of its third party payment administrators to provide a $15.0 million LOC to cover any claims from the payment card networks and to maintain a minimum level of card processing until the potential claims from the payment card networks are resolved. As a result of the criminal intrusions, two class action complaints were filed against the Company by consumers and are currently pending, Mertz v. SuperValu Inc. et al Rocke v. SuperValu Inc. et al. On October 6, 2015, the Company received a letter from the Office of Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania stating that the Illinois and Pennsylvania Attorneys General Offices are leading a multi-state group that includes the Attorneys General for 14 other states requesting specified information concerning the two data breach incidents. The multi-state group has not made a monetary demand, and the Company is unable to estimate the possibility of or reasonable range of loss, if any. The Company has cooperated with the investigation. In January 2017, one of the Company’s insurance carriers denied its claim for cyber insurance coverage for losses resulting from the intrusions based on, among other things, the insurer’s conclusion that the intrusion began prior to the start date for coverage under the cyber insurance policy. The Company responded to the insurer’s denial disagreeing with the conclusion and reserving its rights. The Company’s claims with other of its insurance carriers remain outstanding. Drug Enforcement Administration : Office of Inspector General : Terraza/Lorenz: Civil Investigative Demand: Rodman: Rodman v. Safeway Inc. Other Commitments In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various supply contracts to purchase products for resale and purchase and service contracts for fixed asset and information technology commitments. These contracts typically include volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations.

The gain on the sale of these distribution centers of $97.4 million will be amortized over the 36-month lease period. Divestitures On December 19, 2014, in connection with the pending Safeway acquisition, the Company, together with Safeway, announced that they had entered into agreements to sell 111 Albertsons and 57 Safeway stores across eight states to four separate buyers. Divestiture of these stores was required by the FTC as a condition of closing the Safeway acquisition and was contingent upon the completion of the Safeway acquisition. The aggregate sales price of these stores was $327.5 million plus the book value of inventory. The proceeds from the sale were used to pay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s then-existing term loan facility and asset-based revolving credit facility per the respective terms of the credit facilities. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss on the Albertsons stores of $233.4 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale, net of the impairment loss. No gain or loss was recorded for the Safeway stores as the related assets and liabilities were recorded for purchase accounting at fair value less the cost to sell. The divestiture of these stores commenced upon completion of the Safeway acquisition and closed in the first fiscal quarter of 2015 in accordance with the asset purchase agreements. Revenue and income before taxes associated with the divested Albertsons stores for fiscal 2015 were $298.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively. Revenue and income before taxes associated with the divested Safeway stores for fiscal 2015 were $145.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Revenue and income before taxes associated with the divested Albertsons stores included in the Company’s fiscal 2014 results were $2,070.1 million and $25.9 million, respectively.

There are no restrictions on the Company’s ability to receive distributions from its subsidiaries to fund interest and principal payments due under the ABL Facility, the Albertsons Term Loans (as defined below) and the Senior Unsecured Notes (as described below). Each of the ABL Facility, Albertsons Term Loans and the Senior Unsecured Notes restrict the ability of the Company to pay dividends and distribute property to the Company’s parent, AB Acquisition LLC. As a result, all of the Company’s consolidated net assets are effectively restricted with respect to their ability to be transferred to AB Acquisition LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ABL Facility, Albertsons Term Loans and the Senior Unsecured Notes each contain customary exceptions for certain dividends and distributions, including the ability to make cumulative distributions under the Albertsons Term Loans and Senior Unsecured Notes of up to the greater of $1.0 billion or 4% of the Company’s total assets (which is measured at the time of such distribution) and the ability to make distributions if certain payment conditions are satisfied under the ABL Facility. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and provisions as of and for the fiscal year ended February 25, 2017. Albertsons Term Loans As of February 28, 2015, the Company’s term loans under the Albertsons term loan agreement (the “Albertsons Term Loans”) totaled $6,296.0 million, excluding debt discounts and deferred financing costs. The Albertsons Term Loans consisted of a Term B-2 Loan of $1,437.0 million with an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 4.375%, a Term B-3 Loan of $950.0 million with an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 4.0%, a Term B-4 Loan of $3,609.0 million with an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 4.5%, and a Term B-4-1 Loan of $300.0 million with an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 4.5%. On December 21, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Albertsons Term Loans to borrow an additional $1,145.0 million of Albertsons Term B-5 Loan. The borrowings were used to replace the NAI Senior Secured Term Loan principal of $1,141.5 million and pay related interest and fees. The Term B-5 Loan had an original maturity date of December 21, 2022 and had an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 4.5%. In connection with the term loan amendment, the Company increased the applicable margin of the Albertsons Term B-2 and B-3 Loans by 12.5 basis points.

The Company wrote off $15.0 million of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts in connection with the Term B-3 Loan paydown. On June 22, 2016, the Company amended the agreement governing the Albertsons Term Loans in which three new term loan tranches were established and certain provisions of such agreement were amended. The tranches consisted of $3,280.0 million of a 2016-1 Term B-4 Loan, $1,145.0 million of a 2016-1 Term B-5 Loan and $2,100.0 million of a Term B-6 Loan (collectively, the “June 2016 Term Loans”). The proceeds from the issuance of the June 2016 Term Loans, together with $300.0 million of borrowings under the ABL Facility, were used to repay the then-existing Albertsons Term Loans and related interest and fees (collectively, the “June 2016 Term Loan Refinancing”). The June 2016 Term Loan Refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification. In connection with the June 2016 Term Loan Refinancing the Company expensed $27.6 million of financing costs and also wrote off $12.8 million of deferred financing costs associated with the original Albertsons Term Loans. The 2016-1 Term B-4 Loan had an original maturity date of August 25, 2021, and had an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 3.5%. The 2016-1 Term B-5 Loan had an original maturity date of December 21, 2022, and had an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 3.75%. The Term B-6 Loan had an original maturity date of June 22, 2023, and had an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 3.75%.

The Company wrote off $9.2 million of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts in connection with the Term B-6 Loan paydown. On December 23, 2016, the Company amended the agreement governing the Albertsons Term Loans in which three new term loan tranches were established and certain provisions of such agreement were amended. The new tranches consisted of $3,271.8 million of a new 2016-2 Term B-4 Loan, $1,142.1 million of a new 2016-2 Term B-5 Loan and $1,600.0 million of a new 2016-1 Term B-6 Loan (collectively, the “New Term Loans”). The proceeds from the issuance of the New Term Loans were used to repay the then-existing Albertsons Term Loans and related interest and fees (collectively, the “December 2016 Term Loan Refinancing”). The December 2016 Term Loan Refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification. In connection with the December 2016 Term Loan Refinancing the Company expensed $7.9 million of financing costs and also wrote off $14.0 million of deferred financing costs associated with the original Albertsons Term Loans. The new 2016-2 Term B-4 Loan matures on August 25, 2021, and has an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus 3.0%. The new 2016-2 Term B-5 Loan matures on December 21, 2022, and has an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus 3.25%. The new 2016-1 Term B-6 Loan matures on June 22, 2023, and has an interest rate of LIBOR, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus 3.25%. The Albertsons Term Loan facilities are guaranteed by Albertsons existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that are not borrowers, subject to certain exceptions. The Albertsons Term Loan facilities are secured by, subject to certain exceptions, (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and guarantors (other than accounts receivable, inventory and related assets of the proceeds thereof (the “Albertsons ABL priority collateral”)) and (ii) a second-priority lien on substantially all of the Albertsons ABL priority collateral. NAI Senior Secured Term Loan On November 10, 2015, the Company increased the borrowings under the NAI senior secured term loan facility (the “NAI Senior Secured Term Loan”) by approximately $300.0 million to fund the A&P Transaction. The NAI Senior Secured Term Loan had a rate of 3.75% plus LIBOR, subject to a 1% floor. As disclosed in “Albertsons Term Loans”, on December 21, 2015, the Company replaced the NAI Senior Secured Term Loan with the additional $1,145.0 million borrowing under the Albertsons Term Loan. Asset-Based Loan Facilities On December 21, 2015, the existing ABL Facility was amended and restated in connection with the issuance of a new ABL facility issued through the Company’s newly formed wholly owned subsidiary Albertsons Companies, LLC. The new ABL Facility, among other things, provides for a $4,000.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The new ABL Facility has an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% and matures on December 21, 2020. The new ABL Facility also provides for a new letters of credit (“LOC”) sub-facility As noted above, borrowings under the ABL Facility increased $300.0 million on June 22, 2016 in connection with the Term Loan Refinancing. On August 9, 2016, $470.0 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes was used to repay the ABL Facility. As of February 25, 2017, the ABL Facility had no outstanding borrowings and the ABL LOC sub-facility had $622.3 million letters of credit outstanding. Borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility as of February 27, 2016 consisted of loans of $311.0 million and letters of credit issued under the LOC sub-facility of $616.2 million. The ABL Facility is guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that are not borrowers, subject to certain exceptions. The ABL Facility is secured by, subject to certain exceptions, (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all of the ABL Facility priority collateral and (ii) a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets (other than real property). The ABL Facility contains no financial covenant unless and until (a) excess availability is less than (i) 10.0% of the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the then-current borrowing base at any time or is (ii) $250.0 million at any time or (b) an event of default is continuing. If any of such events occur, the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 from the date such triggering event occurs until such event of default is cured or waived and/or the 30th day that all such triggers under clause (a) no longer exist.

On the basis of this evaluation, as of February 25, 2017, a valuation allowance of $387.6 million has been recorded for the portion of the deferred tax asset that is not more likely than not to be realized. The Company will continue to evaluate the need to adjust the valuation allowance. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if the Company continues to incur losses in the future. The Company currently has federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $378.7 million and $2,761.8 million, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2017 and continue through the fiscal year ending February 2037. As of February 25, 2017, the Company had federal and state credit carryforwards of $11.2 million and $57.2 million, respectively, the majority of which will expire in 2023.

Of the $231.3 million that could impact tax expense, the Company has recorded $8.0 million of indemnification assets that would offset any future recognition. As of February 25, 2017, the Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for the fiscal years prior to 2012 and in most states, is no longer subject to state income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2007. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company recognized expense (benefit) related to interest and penalties, net of settlement adjustments, of $4.5 million, $2.4 million and $(1.2) million for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In fiscal 2016, the Company adopted the IRS safe harbor rule for taxpayers operating retail establishments for determining whether expenditures paid or incurred to remodel or refresh a qualified building are deductible. As a result of adopting this safe harbor, the Company reduced $70.1 million of uncertain tax benefit in fiscal 2016, and there was no impact on the tax provision due to an offsetting deferred adjustment. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the reserve for uncertain tax positions may be reduced by approximately $110.0 million in the next twelve months resulting from a request for change in accounting method, and the anticipated resolution of other uncertainties.

Inventories, net	Inventories, net: The Company uses either item-cost or the retail inventory method to value discrete inventory items at lower of cost or market before application of any last-in, first-out year-end	Inventories, net: As of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, approximately 87.4% and 86.6%, respectively, of the Company’s inventories were valued under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. The Company primarily uses the item-cost or the retail inventory method to determine inventory cost before application of any LIFO adjustment. Under the item-cost method, the most recent purchase cost is used to determine the cost of inventory before the application of any LIFO adjustment. Under the retail inventory method, inventory cost is determined, before the application of any LIFO adjustment, by applying a cost-to-retail ratio to various categories of similar items to the retail value of those items. Replacement or current cost was higher than the carrying amount of inventories valued using LIFO by $114.1 million and $122.0 million as of February 25, 2017 and February 27, 2016, respectively. Liquidations of LIFO layers during the three years reported did not have a material effect on the results of operations. Cost for the remaining inventories, which represents perishable and fuel inventories, was determined using the most recent purchase cost, which approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Perishables are counted every four weeks and are carried at the last purchased cost which approximates FIFO cost. Fuel inventories are carried at the last purchased cost, which approximates FIFO cost. The Company records inventory shortages based on actual physical counts at its facilities and also provides allowances for inventory shortages for the period between the last physical count and the balance sheet date.
Goodwill	Goodwill: During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, there was a sustained decline in the market multiples of publicly traded peer companies. In addition, during the 12 weeks ended September 9, 2017, the Company revised its short-term operating plan. As a result, the Company determined that an interim review of its recoverability of goodwill was necessary. Consequently, during the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $142.3 million, substantially all within the Acme reporting unit relating to the November 2015 acquisition of stores from The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Inc., due to changes in the estimate of its long-term future financial performance to reflect lower expectations for growth in revenue and earnings than previously estimated. The goodwill impairment loss was based on a quantitative analysis using a combination of a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a guideline public company comparative analysis (market approach). The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill balances (in millions): December 2, February 25, Balance at beginning of period $ 1,167.8 $ 1,131.1 Acquisitions 157.8 36.7 Impairment (142.3 ) — Balance at end of period $ 1,183.3 $ 1,167.8	Goodwill:
Income taxes	Income taxes : non-cash non-cash In addition to the Reorganization, on December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which enacts significant changes to U.S. income tax and related laws. Among other things, the Act reduces the top U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, and makes changes to certain other business-related exclusions, deductions and credits. Because a change in tax law is accounted for in the period of enactment, the effect of the Act will be recorded in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter. The Company is currently analyzing the accounting implications of the Act; however, based on a preliminary review, the Company expects to recognize a material non-cash	Income taxes: Deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established where management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company reviews tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns to determine whether and to what extent a tax benefit can be recognized. The Company evaluates its positions taken and establishes liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions. The Company reviews these liabilities as facts and circumstances change and adjusts accordingly. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of Income tax expense. The Company is contractually indemnified by SuperValu for any tax liability of NAI arising from tax years prior to the NAI acquisition. The Company is also contractually obligated to pay SuperValu any tax benefit it receives in a tax year after the NAI acquisition as a result of an indemnification payment made by SuperValu. An indemnification asset and liability, where necessary, has been recorded to reflect this arrangement.

Business combination measurements		Business combination measurements: The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined using market, income and cost approaches from the perspective of a market participant. The fair value measurements can be based on significant inputs that are not readily observable in the market. The market approach indicates value for a subject asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets. The market approach used includes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable assets, as well as pricing guides and other sources. The income approach indicates value for a subject asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. Projected cash flows are discounted at a required market rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money. The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility, was used, as appropriate, for certain assets for which the market and income approaches could not be applied due to the nature of the asset. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the asset, adjusted for obsolescence, whether physical, functional or economic.

Benefit plans and Multiemployer plans		Benefit plans and Multiemployer plans: The Company recognizes a liability for the under-funded status of the defined benefit plans as a component of Other long-term liabilities. Actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits are recorded within Other comprehensive income (loss). The determination of the Company’s obligation and related expense for its sponsored pensions and other post-retirement benefits is dependent, in part, on management’s selection of certain actuarial assumptions in calculating these amounts. These assumptions include, among other things, the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Most union employees participate in multiemployer retirement plans under collective bargaining agreements, unless the collective bargaining agreement provides for participation in plans sponsored by the Company.
