NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Utz Brands, Inc. ("UBI" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, such financial information reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or for the full year. The consolidated interim financial statements, including our significant accounting policies, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Prior Period Revision - Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows – For the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, the Company disclosed the borrowings of lines of credit and repayments of lines of credit as separate line items within the financing activities section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company has corrected these line items for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 for comparability purposes and deems the change to that period to be immaterial.

Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenues primarily consist of the sale of salty snack items to customers, including supermarkets, mass merchants, club stores, dollar and discount stores, convenience stores, independent grocery stores, drug stores, food service, vending, military, and other channels. The Company sells its products in most regions of the United States primarily through its direct-store delivery ("DSD") network, direct to warehouse shipments, and third-party distributors. These revenue contracts generally have a single performance obligation. Revenue, which includes shipping and handling charges billed to the customer, is reported net of variable consideration and consideration payable to customers, including applicable discounts, returns, allowances, trade promotion, consumer coupon redemption, unsaleable product, and other costs, some of which are recorded in Selling and distribution. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as accounts receivables and require payment on a short-term basis and, therefore, the Company does not have any significant financing components.

The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the goods to customers. Control is transferred upon delivery of the goods to the customer. Shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs. Applicable shipping and handling are included in customer billing and are recorded as revenue as the products’ control is transferred to customers. The Company assesses the goods promised in customer purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good that is distinct.

The Company offers various forms of trade promotions and the methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on local customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to provisions based on actual occurrence or performance. The Company’s promotional activities are conducted either through the retail trade or directly with consumers and include activities such as in store displays and events, feature price discounts, consumer coupons, and loyalty programs. The costs of these activities are recognized at the time the related revenue is recorded, which normally precedes the actual cash expenditure. The recognition of these costs therefore requires management judgment regarding the volume of promotional offers that will be redeemed by either the retail trade customer or consumer. These estimates are made using various techniques including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. The Company has reserves in place of $18.2 million as of June 30, 2024, which include adjustments taken by customers of $8.9 million that are awaiting final processing and reserves of $17.4 million as of December 31, 2023, which include adjustments taken by customers of $6.2 million that are awaiting final processing.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to amend existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosures for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company's income tax disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. Among other changes, the amendments will require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

9.DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, PURCHASE COMMITMENTS, WARRANTS AND FAIR VALUE

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate exposure on its Term Loan B and its Real Estate Term Loan. The interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. See Note 8. Term Debt, Revolving Credit Facility, and Other Notes Payable.

In conjunction with Real Estate Term Loan pay downs during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 discussed within Note 8. Term Debt, Revolving Credit Facility, and Other Notes Payable and estimated future pay downs, the Company determined that $36.7 million of hedged forecasted transactions were not probable of occurring. As such, effective February 1, 2024, the Company de-designated its interest rate hedge accounting on its Real Estate Term Loan and re-designated a new interest hedging relationship totaling $47.0 million. As a result, the Company immediately reclassified $0.3 million of accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings which is reflected as a decrease to interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of June 30, 2024, $46.5 million and $36.3 million of the notional of the Company's interest rate swap is designated under interest rate hedge accounting and at fair value with mark-to-market adjustments recorded immediately in earnings, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, as a decrease to interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

As of and for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes to the hedge accounting related to Term Loan B.

Warrant Liabilities

As of each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 7,200,000 private placement warrants outstanding which are accounted for as derivative liabilities pursuant to ASC 815-40. A reconciliation of the changes in the warrant liability during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 is as follows:


(in thousands)
Fair value of warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2023	$	43,272
Loss on remeasurement of warrant liability	11,808
Fair value of warrant liabilities as of March 31, 2024	$	55,080
Gain on remeasurement of warrant liability	(12,888)
Fair value of warrant liabilities as of June 30, 2024	$	42,192

The Company has outstanding purchase commitments for specific quantities at fixed prices for certain key ingredients to economically hedge commodity input prices. These purchase commitments totaled $93.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and $66.7 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company accrues for losses on firm purchase commitments in a loss position at the end of each reporting period to the extent that there is an active observable market. The Company has recorded purchase commitment gains (losses) totaling $0.1 million and $2.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively, and $0.9 million and $(0.3) million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively.

10.CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Matters

The Company is involved in litigation and other matters incidental to the conduct of its business, the results of which, in the opinion of management, are not likely to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees

The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Bank of America for the purchase of routes. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed that were issued by Bank of America was $59.1 million and $52.8 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which are accounted for as an off balance sheet arrangement. As discussed in Note 6. Notes Receivable, the Company also sold notes receivable on its books to Bank of America during fiscal years 2023, and 2024, which the Company partially guarantees. The outstanding balance of notes purchased by Bank of America at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $12.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Due to the structure of the transactions, the sale did not qualify for sale accounting treatment, and as such the Company records the notes payable obligation owed by the IOs to the financial institution on its Consolidated Balance Sheets; the corresponding notes receivable also remained on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance on the first day of each calendar year plus 25% of the amount of any new loans issued during such calendar year.

Additionally, the Company guarantees loans for the purchase of routes made by two other banks. The outstanding balances of these loans were $2.2 million and $2.9 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, of which $1.8 million and $2.2 million was included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance.

All of the above IO loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.

11.SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW INFORMATION


(in thousands)	Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024		Twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023
Cash paid for interest	$	34,523	$	28,613

The Company presents the gain on the sale of disposals of property and equipment, and the gain on the sale of routes within gain on sale of assets within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

12.INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of UBH, as well as any standalone income or loss the Company generates. UBH is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and for most applicable state and local income tax purposes, and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, UBH taxable income or loss is passed through to its members, including the Company. Despite its partnership treatment, UBH is liable for income taxes in those states not recognizing its pass-through status and for certain of its subsidiaries not taxed as pass-through entities. The Company has acquired various domestic entities taxed as corporations, which are now wholly owned by us or our subsidiaries. Where required or allowed, these subsidiaries also file and pay tax as a consolidated group for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company anticipates this structure to remain in existence for the foreseeable future.

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $1.3 million and expense of $25.2 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Comparably, the Company recorded income tax benefit for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 of $0.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 were (5.4)% and 47.5%, respectively. Comparably, the effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 were 7.8% and 12.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of UBH, which is a partnership, is not taxed at the Company level, and is required to allocate some of its taxable results to the Continuing Members, as well as state taxes and the fair value impact of warrant liabilities. The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 are 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively before consideration of any discrete items. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, the effective tax rate was impacted by the sale of certain assets and brands to affiliates of Our Home™ and statutory state tax rate changes which resulted in a discrete tax (benefit) and expense of $(1.5) million and $25.1 million, respectively.

The Company regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets (“DTA's”) for which future realization is uncertain. The Company assessed the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether future taxable income would be generated to permit use of the existing DTA's. As of June 30, 2024, a significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the twelve-quarter cumulative loss before taxes. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future growth. The Company determined that there is uncertainty regarding the utilization of certain DTA's such as the investment in UBH, federal operating losses subject to annual limitations due to “change in ownership” provisions, and state net operating losses where the Company does not expect to continue to have nexus. Therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the DTA's for which it is more likely than not they will not be realized. The Company has DTA’s related to its investment in the partnership that are expected to be realized in the ordinary course of operations or generate future net operating losses for which a portion will have an indefinite carryforward period. Additionally, the Company has deferred tax liabilities (“DTL’s”) related to its investment in the partnership that will not reverse in the ordinary course of business and will only reverse when the partnership is sold or liquidated. The Company has no intention of disposing of or liquidating the partnership and therefore has not considered the indefinite lived DTL as a source of income to offset other DTA’s. In weighing positive and negative evidence, both objective and subjective, including its twelve-quarter cumulative loss, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its DTA’s related to net operating losses and deductible book/tax differences and recorded a DTL primarily related to the book over tax basis in the investment in the partnership that will not reverse in the ordinary course of business. The Company considered that an indefinite lived DTL may be considered as a source of taxable income for an indefinite lived DTA; however, given our indefinite lived DTL will only reverse upon sale or liquidation, the Company determined that it was more appropriate to record a valuation allowance against a portion of its DTA’s. The amount of DTA considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable

income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth.

As of June 30, 2024, tax years 2020 through 2024 remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the majority of the states where the Company has nexus, and tax years 2019 through 2024 remain open and subject to examination in selected states that have a four-year statute of limitations.

Upon audit, tax authorities may challenge all or part of a tax position. A tax position successfully challenged by a taxing authority could result in an adjustment to our provision for income taxes in the period in which a final determination is made. The Company did not maintain any unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Tax receivable agreement liability

Pursuant to an election under section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company obtained an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH when it was deemed to purchase UBH units from a third party then holding common and preferred interest of the Continuing Members and purchased UBH units from the Continuing Members per the Business Combination Agreement. The Continuing Members have the option to exchange UBH units along with the forfeiture of a corresponding number of Class V Common Stock of the Company for UBI common stock post-Business Combination. The Company intends to treat any such exchanges as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which is expected to further increase its share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH. The increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement in connection with the Business Combination (the “Tax Receivable Agreement” or "TRA") , which provides for the payment by the Company of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits realized as a result of (i) increases in the share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH resulting from the Business Combination and any future exchanges by the Continuing Members of UBH units for UBI common stock; (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA; and (iii) tax amortization deductions attributable to the acquisition of Kennedy and the election to treat the transaction as an asset deal for tax purposes (the "TRA Payments"). The rights of each party under the TRA other than the Company are assignable, subject to certain restrictions. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the timing and amount of taxable income generated by the Company each year, as well as the tax rate then applicable, among other factors.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a liability of $24.3 million and $24.3 million, respectively, related to its projected obligations under the TRA, which is reflected as current and non-current accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

13.INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding during the periods. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive share-based awards outstanding during the periods.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted income (loss) per share:


(in thousands, except share data)	Thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024		Thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023		Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024		Twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023

Diluted income (loss) per share	$	0.23	$	(0.05)	$	0.19	$	(0.16)
Class V Common Stock not subject to (income) loss per share calculation	59,349,000		59,349,000		59,349,000		59,349,000
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest	$	5,599	$	(4,429)	$	11,986	$	(9,784)

The diluted income (loss) per share computation excludes the effect of certain warrants, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), and stock options granted to directors and management which convert to Class A Common Stock upon vesting or being exercised, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from diluted income per share calculation are as follows:


	Thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024	Thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023	Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024	Twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023
Warrants	—	2,376,961	—	2,288,240
RSUs	—	268,153	—	195,431
PSUs	—	125,634	—	114,863
Stock options	—	7,009	—	4,233

Shares of the Company’s Class V Common Stock do not participate in income or losses of the Company and, therefore, are not participating securities. The PSUs and RSUs, were not considered participating securities despite the holders of these stock-based compensation awards being entitled to participate in dividends declared on Class A Common Stock, if and when declared, on a one-to-one per-share basis, because the dividends are only payable upon full vesting of the awards, and as such, the dividend is forfeitable. As of each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Continuing Members held all 59,349,000 shares of Class V Common Stock issued and outstanding and also held an equal number of common limited liability company units of UBH, which comprise the noncontrolling interest.

14.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Overview

Utz Brands Inc. (the “Company”) was founded in 1921 in Hanover, Pennsylvania and benefits from over 100 years of brand awareness and heritage in the salty snack industry. We are a leading United States manufacturer of branded salty snacks, producing a broad offering of salty snacks, including potato chips, tortilla chips, pretzels, cheese snacks, pork skins, pub/party mixes, and other snacks. Our iconic portfolio of authentic, craft, and “better-for-you” ("BFY") brands, includes Utz®, ON THE BORDER®, Zapp’s®, Golden Flake®, Boulder Canyon®, Hawaiian® Brand, and TORTIYAHS!®, among others, and enjoys strong household penetration in the United States, where our products can be found in approximately 49% of U.S. households as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, we operate 8 primary manufacturing facilities across the United States with a broad range of capabilities, and are distributed nationally to grocery, mass merchant, club, convenience, drug and other retailers through direct shipments, distributors, and approximately 2,350 direct-store delivery ("DSD") routes. We have historically expanded our geographic reach and product portfolio organically and through acquisitions. Based on 2023 retail sales, we are the second-largest producer of branded salty snacks in our core geographies where we have acquired strong regional brands and distribution capabilities in recent years.

Key Developments and Trends

Our management team monitors a number of developments and trends that could impact our revenue and profitability objectives.

Long-Term Demographics, Consumer Trends, and Demand – We participate in the attractive and growing $39 billion U.S. salty snacks category, within the broader approximately $129 billion market for U.S. snack foods as of June 30, 2024. For the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, U.S. retail sales for salty snacks based on Circana data increased by 0.2% versus the comparable prior year period. Our retail sales increased 1.1% over the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024. A 2024 study from Circana cites that 46% of consumers snack three or more times a day, down three points compared to a year ago but with no change versus five years ago Additionally, the salty snacks category has historically benefited from favorable competitive dynamics, including low private label penetration and category leaders competing primarily through marketing and innovation. We expect these consumer trends to continue to drive consistent retail sales growth for salty snacks for the foreseeable future.

Competition – The salty snack industry is highly competitive and includes many diverse participants. Our products primarily compete with other salty snacks but also compete more broadly for certain eating occasions with other snack foods. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the salty snack industry include taste, convenience, product variety, product quality, price, nutrition, consumer brand awareness, media and promotional activities, in-store merchandising execution, customer service, cost-efficient distribution, and access to retailer shelf space. We believe we compete effectively with respect to each of these factors.

Operating Costs – Our operating costs include raw materials, labor, manufacturing overhead, selling, distribution, and administrative expenses. We manage these expenses through annual cost saving and productivity initiatives, sourcing and hedging programs, pricing actions, refinancing and tax optimization. Additionally, we maintain ongoing efforts led by our transformation office, to expand our profitability, including implementing significant reductions to our operating cost structure in both supply chain and overhead costs.

Financing Costs and Exposure to Interest Rate Changes – As of June 30, 2024, we had $736.4 million in variable rate indebtedness, down from $851.5 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in variable rate debt is primarily due to a $141.0 million payment toward the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B and $17.7 million payment toward the outstanding balance of the loan by City National Bank which is secured by a majority of the real estate assets of our subsidiaries through September 2032 (the “Real Estate Term Loan”) made in connection with the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale (as defined below) and the Manufacturing Facilities Sale (as defined below) each as described in Note 2. Divestitures and Note 4. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net. As of June 30, 2024, our variable rate indebtedness is benchmarked to the Term SOFR Screen Rate ("SOFR”). As of June 30, 2024, we have existing interest rate swaps totaling $582.9 million of debt. Our interest rate hedge strategy has limited some of our exposure to changes in interest rates. We regularly evaluate our variable and fixed-rate debt. We continue to use low-cost, short- and long-term debt to finance our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures and other investments and dividends. Our weighted average interest rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was 5.8%, up from 5.7% during the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023. We have used interest rate swaps to manage part of our exposure to interest rate changes, which can drive cash flow variability related to our debt. Refer to Note 8. Term Debt, Revolving Credit Facility, and Other Notes Payable and Note 9. Derivative Financial Instruments, Purchase Commitments, Warrants and Fair Value to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this filing for additional information on debt, derivative and purchase commitment activity. The Company has experienced the effect of increased interest rates on the portion of its debt that is not hedged and, continued rising interest rates could negatively impact our net income.

Recent Developments and Significant Items Affecting Comparability

Divestitures

Trade Name Purchase

During the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid $9.2 million to purchase an indefinite life intangible for use of a third-party brand name. This intangible is included in indefinite life trade names. See Note 5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net.

Commodity Trends

We regularly monitor worldwide supply and commodity costs so that we can cost-effectively secure ingredients, packaging and fuel required for production. A number of external factors such as weather, which may be impacted in unanticipated ways due to climate change, commodity market conditions, inflationary conditions, and the effects of governmental, agricultural or other programs, may affect the cost and availability of raw materials and agricultural materials used in our products. We address commodity costs primarily through the use of buying-forward, which locks in pricing for key materials between three and 18 months in advance. Other methods include hedging, net pricing adjustments to cover longer term cost inflation, and manufacturing and overhead cost control. Our hedging techniques, such as forward contracts, limit the impact of fluctuations in the cost of our principal raw materials; however, we may not be able to fully hedge against commodity cost changes, where there is a limited ability to hedge, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. We experienced an increase in pricing in certain commodity trends that continued to rise throughout fiscal year 2022 and have since stabilized during fiscal year 2023 and into 2024. Commodity cost increases in commodity trends may adversely impact our net income. Additionally, the Company has experienced rising costs related to fuel and freight rates as well as rising labor costs which have negatively impacted profitability. Transportation costs have been on the rise since early in 2021 and may continue to rise which may also adversely impact net income. The Company looks to offset rising costs through increasing manufacturing and distribution efficiencies as well as through price increases to our customers, although it is unclear whether historic customer sales levels will be maintained at these higher prices. Due to competitive market conditions, planned trade or promotional incentives, or other factors, our pricing actions may also lag commodity cost changes.

While the costs of our principal raw materials fluctuate, we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available from numerous sources. Market factors including supply and demand may result in higher costs of sourcing those materials.

Independent Operator Conversions

Our DSD distribution is executed via Company-owned routes operated by route sales professionals ("RSP" or "RSPs"), and third-party routes managed by IOs. We have used the IO and RSP models for more than a decade. In fiscal year 2017, we embarked on a multi-year strategy to convert all company-owned RSP routes to the IO model. As of June 30, 2024, substantially all of our DSD routes are managed by IOs. The conversion process involves selling distribution rights of a defined route to an IO. As we convert a large number of routes in a year, there is a meaningful decrease in the selling, distribution and administrative costs that we previously incurred on RSPs and a corresponding increase in discounts paid to IOs to cover their costs to distribute our product. The net impact is a reduction in selling and distribution expenses and a decrease in net sales and gross profit. Conversions also impact our balance sheet resulting in an increase in cash proceeds to us as a result of selling the route to an IO, or by creating notes receivable related to the sale of the routes.

Thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 versus Thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023

Net sales

Net sales were $356.2 million and $362.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 decreased $6.7 million or 1.8% over the comparable period in 2023. The Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale contributed 3.3% to the year-over-year decrease in net sales for thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 as well as 0.7% decrease was attributable to changes in pricing and a 0.1% decrease related to the Company's shift to IOs. These decreases in net sales were partially offset by favorable volume/mix of 2.3%. IO discounts increased to $47.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 from $45.8 million for the corresponding thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023.

Sales are evaluated based on classification as Power and Foundation brands. Our Power Brands, which comprise 77% of our volume for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, are comprised of our iconic heritage Utz brand and iconic On The Border® brand; craft brands such as Zapp’s®, Golden Flake® Pork Skins, TORTIYAHS!, and Hawaiian®; BFY brands such as Boulder Canyon®; strong regional snacking brands such as Bachman®, Tim’s Cascade® Snacks, and "Dirty" Potato Chips®; and selected licensed brands such as TGI Fridays®. Our Foundation Brands, which comprise 23% of our volume for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, include strong regional snacking brands, such as Golden Flake® Chips and Cheese, and Snyder of Berlin®, as well as other partner and private label brands. For the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, Power brand volume increased by approximately 4%, while Foundation brand volume decreased by approximately 10% as compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023.

Excluding the impacts of increased IO discounts related to IO conversions and the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale, net sales increased 1.6% for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 versus the corresponding period in fiscal year 2023 driven by the favorable volume/mix discussed above driven by the Company's Power Brands.

Cost of goods sold and Gross profit

Gross profit was $124.8 million and $117.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. Our gross profit margin was 35.0% for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 versus 32.4% for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily driven by benefits from productivity and favorable sales volume/mix offset by lower pricing, supply chain cost inflation, and investments to support the Company’s productivity initiatives. Additionally, IO discounts increased to $47.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 from $45.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023.

Selling, distribution, and administrative expense

Selling, distribution, and administrative expenses were $104.6 million and $114.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively, resulting in an decrease of $9.9 million or 8.6% for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 over the corresponding period in fiscal year 2023. The decrease in expenses for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023 was primarily attributable to the $7.6 million of impairment expense and the $1.3 million of severance expense related to the closure of the manufacturing operation at the Birmingham, AL facility as discussed in Note 4. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net. During the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023, the Company also recognized a liability and related expense of $4.7 million related to a contract termination with a co-manufacturer, which is recorded in the administrative line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). This agreement was a continuation of the Company's response to shifting production from a manufacturing facility that was damaged by a natural disaster in 2021. This decrease was partially offset by increased marketing spend, higher distribution costs, and investments in capabilities.

Gain (loss) on sale of assets

Gain (loss) on sale of assets was $2.4 million and $(0.3) million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net was $1.6 million and $(11.9) million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. The increase of $13.6 million in other income for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in the gain on the remeasurement of warrant liability of $10.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and the decrease in interest expense of $4.8 million primarily related to the $141.0 million payment on our Term Loan B and $8.5 million payment on our Real Estate Term Loan during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, as well as the additional payment on our Real Estate Term Loan of $9.2 million during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024. This increase was partially offset by the loss on debt extinguishment of $1.3 million recognized during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024. See Note 8. Term Debt, Revolving Credit Facility, and Other Notes Payable for further discussion.

Income taxes

Income tax benefit was $1.3 million and $0.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively.

Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 versus twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023

Net sales were $702.7 million and $714.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 decreased $11.6 million or 1.6% over the comparable period in 2023. The Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale contributed 2.8% to the year-over-year decrease in net sales for twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and an additional 0.3% of the decrease was related to continued IO conversions and decrease of 0.1% related to pricing. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by favorable volume/mix of 1.6%. IO discounts increased to $92.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 from $88.0 million for the corresponding twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023.

Sales are evaluated based on classification as Power and Foundation brands. Our Power Brands, which comprise 76% of our volume for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, are comprised of our iconic heritage Utz brand and iconic On The Border® brand; craft brands such as Zapp’s®, Golden Flake® Pork Skins, TORTIYAHS!, and Hawaiian®; BFY brands such as Boulder Canyon®; strong regional snacking brands such as Bachman®, Tim’s Cascade® Snacks, and "Dirty" Potato Chips®; and selected licensed brands such as TGI Fridays®. Our Foundation Brands, which comprise 24% of our volume for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, include strong regional snacking brands, such as Golden Flake® Chips and Cheese, and Snyder of Berlin®, as well as other partner and private label brands. For the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, Power brand volume increased by approximately 4%, while Foundation brand volume decreased by approximately 13% as compared to twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023.

Excluding the impacts of increased IO discounts related to IO conversions and the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale, net sales increased 1.5% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 versus the corresponding period in fiscal year 2023 driven by the favorable volume/mix discussed above driven by the Company's Power Brands.

Cost of goods sold and Gross profit

Gross profit was $244.3 million and $221.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. Our gross profit margin was 34.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 versus 31.1% for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily driven by productivity and favorable sales volume/mix more than offset lower pricing, supply chain cost inflation, and investments to support the Company’s productivity initiatives. Additionally, IO discounts increased to $92.1 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 from $88.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023.

Selling, distribution, and administrative expense

Selling, distribution, and administrative expenses were $214.0 million and $220.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $6.5 million or 2.9% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 over the corresponding period in fiscal year 2023. The decrease in expenses for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023 was primarily attributable to $9.5 million related to the impairment of fixed assets, primarily related to the closure of the manufacturing operation at the Birmingham, AL facility during the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 as discussed in Note 4. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net.

The Company also recognized a liability and related expense of $4.7 million related to a contract termination with a co-manufacturer, which is recorded in the administrative line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023. This agreement was a continuation of the Company's response to shifting production from a manufacturing facility that was damaged by a natural disaster in 2021. This decrease was partially offset by an increased marketing spend, higher distribution costs, and investments in capabilities.

Gain (loss) on sale of assets

Gain (loss) on sale of assets was $1.9 million and $(0.8) million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net was $20.9 million and $(26.9) million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. The increase in other income of $47.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023 was primarily due to the gain on sale of business of $44.0 million relating to the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale which occurred on February 5, 2024. See Note 2. Divestitures for further discussion. and the decrease in interest expense of $5.4 million primarily related to the $141.0 million payment on our Term Loan B and $8.5 million payment on our Real Estate Term Loan during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 as well as the additional payment on our Real Estate Term Loan of $9.2 million during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024. This increase was partially offset by the loss on debt extinguishment of $1.3 million recognized during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024. See Note 8. Term Debt, Revolving Credit Facility, and Other Notes Payable for further discussion.

Income taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) was $25.2 million and $(3.3) million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. The increase in income tax expense for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 versus the corresponding period in fiscal year 2023 is primarily attributable to the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale which occurred on February 5, 2024. See Note 2. Divestitures for further discussion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identifies trends in our underlying operating results and provides additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate the business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our performance. We have detailed the non-GAAP adjustments that we make in our non-GAAP definitions below. The adjustments generally fall within the categories of non-cash items, acquisition, divestiture and integration costs and gains, business transformation initiatives, and financing-related costs. We believe the non-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have provided the reconciliations between the U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures below, and we also discuss our underlying U.S. GAAP results throughout this MD&A section.

Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When the definitions change, we will provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as Net Income before Interest, Income Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items, such as accruals for long-term incentive programs, hedging and purchase commitments adjustments, remeasurement of warrant liabilities, asset impairments, acquisition, divestiture and integration costs and gains, business transformation initiatives, and financing-related costs.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the key performance indicators we use in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial, operating, and planning decisions. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in the evaluation of our operating performance compared to other companies in the salty snack industry, as similar measures are commonly used by companies in this industry, however, we caution that other companies may use different definitions from us and such figures may not be directly comparable to our figures. We also report Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales as an additional measure for investors to evaluate our Adjusted EBITDA margins on Net Sales.

The following table provides a reconciliation from net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023:


(dollars in millions)	Thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024			Thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023			Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024			Twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023

(1)Interest Income from IO loans refers to Interest Income that we earn from IO notes receivable that have resulted from our initiatives to transition from RSP distribution to IO distribution ("Business Transformation Initiatives"). There is a notes payable recorded that mirrors most of the IO notes receivable, and the interest expense associated with the notes payable is part of the Interest Expense, Net adjustment.

(2)Certain Non-Cash Adjustments are comprised primarily of the following:

Incentive programs – The Company incurred $4.5 million and $3.4 million of share-based compensation expense, that was awarded to associates and directors, and compensation expense associated with the employee stock purchase plan (the "ESPP") and the omnibus equity incentive plan (the"OEIP") for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. The Company incurred $8.4 million and $8.1 million of share-based compensation expense, that was awarded to associates and directors, and compensation expense associated with the ESPP and the OEIP for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively.

Asset Impairments and Write-Offs — For the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023, the Company recorded an adjustment for an impairment of $7.6 million on fixed assets related to the Manufacturing Closure. During the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023, the Company recorded impairments totaling $9.6 million.

Purchase Commitments and Other Adjustments – We have purchase commitments for specific quantities at fixed prices for certain of our products’ key ingredients. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, this adjustment was made to remove the volatility of purchase commitments related to unrealized gains and losses. The adjustment related to Purchase Commitments and Other Adjustments, including cloud computing amortization was expense (income) of $0.4 million and $(2.5) million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. The adjustment related to Purchase Commitments and Other Adjustments, including cloud computing amortization was $0.5 million and $0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively.

(3)Adjustment for Acquisition, Divestiture and Integration Costs and (Gains) – Such expenses were $1.1 million and $3.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively; and $6.7 million and $8.3 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. Additionally, other acquisitions and integration costs (income) of $0.3 million were recorded for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2023 and $(0.9) million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 related to the change in the liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement entered into in connection with the consummation of the business combination by the Company (formerly Collier Creek Holdings) with Utz Brands Holdings, LLC (“UBH”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2020. Also included for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was a gain of $44.0 million related to the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale.

(4)Business Transformation Initiatives Adjustment – This adjustment is related to consultancy, professional, and legal fees incurred for specific initiatives and structural changes to the business that do not reflect the cost of normal business operations. In addition, gains and losses realized from the sale of distribution rights to IOs and the subsequent disposal of trucks, severance costs associated with the elimination of RSP positions, and enterprise resource planning system transition costs, fall into this category. The Company incurred such costs of $4.5 million and $5.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively, and $10.3 million and $13.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively. Additionally, the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 also includes expense of $4.7 million related to a contract termination. This agreement was a continuation of the Company's response to shifting production from a manufacturing facility that was damaged by a natural disaster in 2021.

(5)Financing-Related Costs – These costs include adjustments for various items related to raising debt and equity capital or debt extinguishment costs.

(6)Gains and losses – Such gains and losses related to the changes in the remeasurement of warrant liabilities are not expected to be settled in cash, and when exercised would result in a cash inflow to the Company with the Warrants converting to Class A Common Stock with the liability being extinguished and the fair value of the Warrants at the time of exercise being recorded as an increase to equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash

We believe that the cash provided by operating activities, our revolving credit facility, our term loans, and derivative financial instruments will continue to provide sufficient liquidity for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and future payments of our contractual, and tax obligations. We continually evaluate our financing strategy to meet our short- and longer-term capital needs. From time-to-time, we may dispose of assets or enter into other cash generating transactions, such as through a sale-leaseback, when we deem beneficial. To date, we have been successful in generating cash and raising financing as needed. However, if a serious economic or credit market crisis ensues or other adverse developments arise, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

Financing Arrangements

The primary objective of our financing strategy is to maintain a prudent capital structure that provides us flexibility to pursue our growth objectives. We use short-term debt as management determines is reasonable, principally to finance ongoing operations, including our seasonal requirements for working capital (generally accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses and other current assets, less accounts payable, accrued payroll, and other accrued liabilities), and a combination of equity and long-term debt to finance both our base working capital needs and our non-current assets.

Term Debt and Revolving Credit Facility

On April 17, 2024, the Company amended its Term Loan B to refinance in full all of the $630.0 million outstanding term loans and reduce the interest rate from the SOFR plus the applicable rate of 3.00% plus a credit spread adjustment to SOFR plus the applicable rate of 2.75%, as well as certain other changes. Other material terms of the Term Loan B, including the January 2028 maturity date, remain unchanged. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.3 million related to the refinancing of its Term Loan B in its Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024. On April 17, 2024, the Company amended its asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL facility") to reduce the rate from SOFR plus the applicable rate ranging from 1.50%-2.00% plus a credit spread adjustment to SOFR plus the applicable rate ranging from 1.50%-2.00%, as well as certain other changes. Other material terms of the ABL, including maturity date, remain unchanged.

ABL Facility

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $45.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was outstanding under the Company's ABL facility. Availability under the ABL facility is based on a monthly accounts receivable and inventory borrowing base certification, which is net of outstanding letters of credit and amounts borrowed. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $130.3 million and $158.4 million, respectively, was available for borrowing, net of letters of credit. Standby letters of credit in the amount of $10.3 million and $12.2 million have been issued as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The standby letters of credit are primarily issued for insurance purposes. Refer to Note 8. Term Debt, Revolving Credit Facility, and Other Notes Payable for more information.

Cash Requirements

Our expected future payments at June 30, 2024 primarily consisted of:

•Short-term cash requirements related primarily to funding operations (including expenditures for raw materials, labor, manufacturing and distribution, trade and promotions, advertising and marketing, benefit plan obligations and lease expenses) as well as periodic expenditures for acquisitions, stockholder returns (such as dividend payments), property, plant and equipment and any significant one-time non-operating items;

•Cash requirements related to Other Notes Payable and Capital Leases (Refer to Note 8. Term Debt, Revolving Credit Facility, and Other Notes Payable);

•Long-term cash requirements primarily relate to funding long-term debt repayments and related interest payment on long-term debt (Refer to Note 8. Term Debt, Revolving Credit Facility, and Other Notes Payable);

•Long-term cash requirements related to our current and deferred taxes; and

•Operating lease liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Purchase Commitments

The Company has outstanding purchase commitments for specific quantities at fixed prices for certain key ingredients to economically hedge commodity input prices. Refer to Note 9. Derivative Financial Instruments, Purchase Commitments, Warrants and Fair Value.

IO Guarantees Off Balance Sheet

The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Bank of America and two other banks for the purchase of routes, some of which was recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet and some of which were off-balance sheet arrangements. These loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default. Refer to Note 10. Contingencies.

Cash Flow

The following table presents net cash provided by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023.


(in thousands)	Twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024		Twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(169)	$	(4,315)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	140,940	$	(30,783)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(126,220)	$	35,825

Net cash used in operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was $0.2 million compared to $4.3 million twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023, with the difference largely driven by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other, partially offset by a decrease related to the timing of accounts receivable, net and prepaid expenses and other assets, which includes approximately $30 million impact from the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale and Manufacturing Facilities Sale.

Cash provided by investing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 was $140.9 million, primarily driven by proceeds from sale of business of $167.5 million, proceeds from sale of property and equipment primarily related to the sale of the manufacturing facilities in Birmingham, AL, Berlin, PA and Fitchburg, MA and proceeds from the sale of routes to IOs. These proceeds were partially offset by purchases of property and equipment, notes receivable and purchase of intangibles related to an indefinite life intangible for the use of a third party brand name. This compares to the cash used in investing activity of $30.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 primarily driven by purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $126.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by the pay down of debt utilizing the proceeds from the Good Health and R.W. Garcia Sale partially offset by borrowings on line of credit as well as payment of dividends and distribution to noncontrolling interest versus net cash provided by financing activities of $35.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023, which was primarily a result of a draw on the line of credit of $61.0 million partially offset by repayments on term debt and notes payable, payments of dividends and distribution to noncontrolling interest.

Debt Covenants

The Term Loan B and the ABL facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets and liabilities of UBH and its subsidiaries excluding the real estate assets secured by the Real Estate Term Loan, including equity interests in certain of UBH’s subsidiaries. The credit agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants as to operations and the financial condition of UBH and its subsidiaries. UBH and its subsidiaries were in compliance with its financial covenants as of June 30, 2024.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and of the preferential and other amounts, if any, to which the holders of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the Class A Common Stock as to distributions upon dissolution or liquidation or winding up shall be entitled, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (including Class A Common Stock which converted to Class A Common Stock from Class B Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.3(D) below on or prior to the date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (including if a Conversion Event occurred as a result of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up)) shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder. The holders of shares of (i) Class B Common Stock (other than to the extent such liquidation, dissolution or winding up constitutes a Conversion Event, in which case such Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert to Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.3(D) below and the holders of such resulting Class A Common Stock shall be treated as a holder of Class A Common Stock in accordance with this Section 4.3(C)) and (ii) Class V Common Stock, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) as such, shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(D) Conversion of Class B Common Stock. Immediately upon any Conversion Event applicable to any shares of Class B Common Stock, such shares of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without any further action on the part of the record holder thereof or any other person, convert into and become an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, which conversion shall be effective on the Conversion Date with respect to such shares of Class B Common Stock, and the holder of such share of Class B Common Stock shall become a record holder of Class A Common Stock as of such Conversion Date. Each outstanding stock certificate or book-entry credit, as applicable, that, immediately prior to such Conversion Event, represented one or more shares of Class B Common Stock shall, upon such Conversion Event, be automatically deemed to represent as of the Conversion Date an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, without the need for any surrender, exchange or registration thereof or any consent or notification. The Corporation, or any transfer agent of the Corporation, shall, upon the request on or after the Conversion Date of any holder whose shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted

LEGAL\71811101\1

into shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of a Conversion Event and upon surrender by such holder to the Corporation of the outstanding certificate(s) formerly representing such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock (if any), issue and deliver to such holder certificate(s) representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock were converted as a result of such Conversion Event (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are uncertificated, register such shares in book-entry form, reflecting that such holder is a record holder of Class A Common Stock as of the Conversion Date in respect of the relevant shares of Class B Common Stock.

(E) Cancellation of Class V Common Stock. In the event that any outstanding share of Class V Common Stock shall cease to be held directly or indirectly by a holder of a Common Unit (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the LLC, dated on or about the date hereof (the “LLC Agreement”), as set forth in the books and records of the LLC, such share shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class V Common Stock be transferred to the Corporation and cancelled for no consideration. The Corporation shall not issue additional shares of Class V Common Stock after the Closing Date other than in connection with the valid issuance of Common Units in accordance with the LLC Agreement or the vesting of any Restricted Common Units (as defined in the LLC Agreement) into Common Units upon the occurrence of an applicable Vesting Event (as defined in the LLC Agreement).

(F) Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock an amount equal to the number of then-outstanding Common Units subject to Exchange (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and then-outstanding Restricted Common Units plus the number of then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, in each case, from time to time. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class V Common Stock an amount equal to the number of then-outstanding Restricted Common Units, from time to time.

(G) Splits. If the Corporation at any time combines or subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amendment of this Certificate of Incorporation, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, the shares of Class B Common Stock and Class V Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately similarly combined or subdivided such that the ratio of shares of outstanding Class B Common Stock and Class V Common Stock, respectively, to shares of outstanding Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such subdivision shall be maintained immediately after such combination or subdivision; provided, that (i) such actions with respect to the Class V Common Stock shall be subject to Section 4.1(d) and the last sentence of Section 3.2 of the LLC Agreement and (ii) such actions with respect to the Class B Common Stock shall be subject to the last sentence of Section 1.5 of the Side Letter. Any adjustment described in this Section 4.3(G) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the combination or subdivision becomes effective.

Article V

Section 5.1. By-Laws. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the DGCL, the Board is expressly authorized to make, amend, alter, change, add to or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “By-Laws”) without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote of the stockholders, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required herein (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock), by the By-Laws or pursuant to applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any provision of Article I, Article II or Article IV of the By-Laws of the Corporation, or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith and, with respect to any other provision of the By-Laws of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend, repeal or

LEGAL\71811101\1

rescind, in whole or in part, any such provision of the By-Laws of the Corporation, or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith.

Article VI

Section 6.1. Board of Directors.

(A) Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Subject to the investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) dated on or about the date hereof, by and among the Corporation, the Sellers, the CCH Sponsor and the other parties party thereto, the total number of directors constituting the whole Board shall be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, the directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date, Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing Date. At each annual meeting following the Closing Date, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors remove, or shorten the term of, any incumbent director. Any such director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to their respective class in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement.

(B) Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and the rights granted pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, any newly-created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by the stockholders). Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

(C) Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission permitted by the By-Laws. Subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, any or all of the directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) may be removed only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Investor Rights Agreement, in case the Board or any one or more directors should be so removed, new directors may be elected pursuant to Section 6.1(B).

(D) Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) applicable thereto. Notwithstanding Section 6.1(A), the

LEGAL\71811101\1

number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to Section 6.1(A) hereof, and the total number of directors constituting the whole Board shall be automatically adjusted accordingly.

(E) Directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the By-Laws shall so provide.

Article VII

Section 7.1. Meetings of Stockholders. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of stock of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders unless such action is recommended or approved by all directors of the Corporation then in office; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Class V Common Stock , voting separately as a class, or, to the extent expressly permitted by the certificate of designations relating to one or more series of Preferred Stock, by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class or series having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by or at the direction of the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or as otherwise provided in the By-Laws.

Article VIII

Section 8.1. Limited Liability of Directors and Officers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer of the Corporation will have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, as applicable, shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Neither the amendment nor the repeal of this Article VIII shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation existing prior to such amendment or repeal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing Section 9.1(B) of Article IX, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

(5) “interested stockholder” means any person (other than the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) that (i) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, or (ii) is an Affiliate or associate of the Corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation at any time within the three year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder; and the Affiliates and associates of such person; but “interested stockholder” shall not include (x) any Stockholder Party, any Stockholder Party Direct Transferee, any Stockholder Party Indirect Transferee or any of their respective Affiliates or any “group,” or any member of any such group, to which such persons are a party under Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, provided that a majority of the aggregate shares of voting stock of the Corporation owned by such group immediately prior to the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder were owned (without giving effect to beneficial ownership attributed to such person pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) by one or more Stockholder Parties, Stockholder Party Direct Transferees, or Stockholder Party Indirect Transferees, or (y) any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% limitation set forth herein is the result of any action taken solely by the Corporation; provided, further, that in the case of clause (y) such person shall be an interested stockholder if thereafter such person acquires additional shares of voting stock of the Corporation, except as a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person.

Section 10.1. Competition and Corporate Opportunities.

(A) In recognition and anticipation that members of the Board who are not employees of the Corporation (“Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates and Affiliated Entities (each, as defined below) may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Article X are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.

(B) No Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates or Affiliated Entities (the Persons (as defined below) above being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (1) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section 10.1(C) of this Article X. Subject to Section 10.1(C) of this Article X, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest

LEGAL\71811101\1

extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person.

(C) The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director if such opportunity is expressly offered or presented to, or acquired or developed by, such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section 10.1(B) of this Article X shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

(D) In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article X, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation, (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy, or (iv) is one presented to any account for the benefit of a member of the Board or such member’s Affiliate over which such member of the Board has no direct or indirect influence or control, including, but not limited to, a blind trust.

(E) For purposes of this Article X, (i) “Affiliate” shall mean (a) in respect of a member of the Board, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such member of the Board (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation) and (b) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation; (ii) “Affiliated Entity” shall mean (x) any Person of which a Non-Employee Director serves as an officer, director, employee, agent or other representative (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (y) any direct or indirect partner, stockholder, member, manager or other representative of such Person or (z) any Affiliate of any of the foregoing; and (iii) “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, association or any other entity.

(F) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article X.

(G) Any alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article X shall require the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Neither the alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article X, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) inconsistent with this Article X, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article X in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article X, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition, repeal or adoption. This Article X shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws or applicable law.

Article XI

Section 11.1. Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

LEGAL\71811101\1

Article XII

Section 12.1. Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, or any claim for aiding and abetting such alleged breach, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation (a) arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended or restated) or the By-Laws or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Delaware Court of Chancery or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware shall, as to any action in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), to the fullest extent permitted by law, be solely and exclusively brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any claim (a) as to which the Delaware Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (b) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, or (c) arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as to which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XII will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “foreign action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”); and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XII.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Utz Brands, Inc. ("UBI" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, such financial information reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or for the full year. The consolidated interim financial statements, including our significant accounting policies, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior Period Revision - Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows – For the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, the Company disclosed the borrowings of lines of credit and repayments of lines of credit as separate line items within the financing activities section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company has corrected these line items for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 for comparability purposes and deems the change to that period to be immaterial. Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenues primarily consist of the sale of salty snack items to customers, including supermarkets, mass merchants, club stores, dollar and discount stores, convenience stores, independent grocery stores, drug stores, food service, vending, military, and other channels. The Company sells its products in most regions of the United States primarily through its direct-store delivery ("DSD") network, direct to warehouse shipments, and third-party distributors. These revenue contracts generally have a single performance obligation. Revenue, which includes shipping and handling charges billed to the customer, is reported net of variable consideration and consideration payable to customers, including applicable discounts, returns, allowances, trade promotion, consumer coupon redemption, unsaleable product, and other costs, some of which are recorded in Selling and distribution. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as accounts receivables and require payment on a short-term basis and, therefore, the Company does not have any significant financing components. The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the goods to customers. Control is transferred upon delivery of the goods to the customer. Shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs. Applicable shipping and handling are included in customer billing and are recorded as revenue as the products’ control is transferred to customers. The Company assesses the goods promised in customer purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good that is distinct. The Company offers various forms of trade promotions and the methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on local customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to provisions based on actual occurrence or performance. The Company’s promotional activities are conducted either through the retail trade or directly with consumers and include activities such as in store displays and events, feature price discounts, consumer coupons, and loyalty programs. The costs of these activities are recognized at the time the related revenue is recorded, which normally precedes the actual cash expenditure. The recognition of these costs therefore requires management judgment regarding the volume of promotional offers that will be redeemed by either the retail trade customer or consumer. These estimates are made using various techniques including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. The Company has reserves in place of $18.2 million as of June 30, 2024, which include adjustments taken by customers of $8.9 million that are awaiting final processing and reserves of $17.4 million as of December 31, 2023, which include adjustments taken by customers of $6.2 million that are awaiting final processing. Differences between estimated expense and actual redemptions are recognized as a change in management estimate as actual redemptions are incurred. Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to amend existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosures for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company's income tax disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. Among other changes, the amendments will require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

CONTINGENCIES	Jun. 30, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIES Litigation Matters The Company is involved in litigation and other matters incidental to the conduct of its business, the results of which, in the opinion of management, are not likely to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Guarantees The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Bank of America for the purchase of routes. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed that were issued by Bank of America was $59.1 million and $52.8 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which are accounted for as an off balance sheet arrangement. As discussed in Note 6. Notes Receivable, the Company also sold notes receivable on its books to Bank of America during fiscal years 2023, and 2024, which the Company partially guarantees. The outstanding balance of notes purchased by Bank of America at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $12.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Due to the structure of the transactions, the sale did not qualify for sale accounting treatment, and as such the Company records the notes payable obligation owed by the IOs to the financial institution on its Consolidated Balance Sheets; the corresponding notes receivable also remained on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance on the first day of each calendar year plus 25% of the amount of any new loans issued during such calendar year. Additionally, the Company guarantees loans for the purchase of routes made by two other banks. The outstanding balances of these loans were $2.2 million and $2.9 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, of which $1.8 million and $2.2 million was included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance. All of the above IO loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.

INCOME TAXES	6 Months Ended
INCOME TAXES	Jun. 30, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of UBH, as well as any standalone income or loss the Company generates. UBH is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and for most applicable state and local income tax purposes, and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, UBH taxable income or loss is passed through to its members, including the Company. Despite its partnership treatment, UBH is liable for income taxes in those states not recognizing its pass-through status and for certain of its subsidiaries not taxed as pass-through entities. The Company has acquired various domestic entities taxed as corporations, which are now wholly owned by us or our subsidiaries. Where required or allowed, these subsidiaries also file and pay tax as a consolidated group for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company anticipates this structure to remain in existence for the foreseeable future. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $1.3 million and expense of $25.2 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Comparably, the Company recorded income tax benefit for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 of $0.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 were (5.4)% and 47.5%, respectively. Comparably, the effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 were 7.8% and 12.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of UBH, which is a partnership, is not taxed at the Company level, and is required to allocate some of its taxable results to the Continuing Members, as well as state taxes and the fair value impact of warrant liabilities. The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 are 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively before consideration of any discrete items. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, the effective tax rate was impacted by the sale of certain assets and brands to affiliates of Our Home™ and statutory state tax rate changes which resulted in a discrete tax (benefit) and expense of $(1.5) million and $25.1 million, respectively. The Company regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets (“DTA's”) for which future realization is uncertain. The Company assessed the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether future taxable income would be generated to permit use of the existing DTA's. As of June 30, 2024, a significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the twelve-quarter cumulative loss before taxes. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future growth. The Company determined that there is uncertainty regarding the utilization of certain DTA's such as the investment in UBH, federal operating losses subject to annual limitations due to “change in ownership” provisions, and state net operating losses where the Company does not expect to continue to have nexus. Therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the DTA's for which it is more likely than not they will not be realized. The Company has DTA’s related to its investment in the partnership that are expected to be realized in the ordinary course of operations or generate future net operating losses for which a portion will have an indefinite carryforward period. Additionally, the Company has deferred tax liabilities (“DTL’s”) related to its investment in the partnership that will not reverse in the ordinary course of business and will only reverse when the partnership is sold or liquidated. The Company has no intention of disposing of or liquidating the partnership and therefore has not considered the indefinite lived DTL as a source of income to offset other DTA’s. In weighing positive and negative evidence, both objective and subjective, including its twelve-quarter cumulative loss, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its DTA’s related to net operating losses and deductible book/tax differences and recorded a DTL primarily related to the book over tax basis in the investment in the partnership that will not reverse in the ordinary course of business. The Company considered that an indefinite lived DTL may be considered as a source of taxable income for an indefinite lived DTA; however, given our indefinite lived DTL will only reverse upon sale or liquidation, the Company determined that it was more appropriate to record a valuation allowance against a portion of its DTA’s. The amount of DTA considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth. As of June 30, 2024, tax years 2020 through 2024 remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the majority of the states where the Company has nexus, and tax years 2019 through 2024 remain open and subject to examination in selected states that have a four-year statute of limitations. Upon audit, tax authorities may challenge all or part of a tax position. A tax position successfully challenged by a taxing authority could result in an adjustment to our provision for income taxes in the period in which a final determination is made. The Company did not maintain any unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Tax receivable agreement liability Pursuant to an election under section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company obtained an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH when it was deemed to purchase UBH units from a third party then holding common and preferred interest of the Continuing Members and purchased UBH units from the Continuing Members per the Business Combination Agreement. The Continuing Members have the option to exchange UBH units along with the forfeiture of a corresponding number of Class V Common Stock of the Company for UBI common stock post-Business Combination. The Company intends to treat any such exchanges as direct purchases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which is expected to further increase its share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH. The increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts the Company would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement in connection with the Business Combination (the “Tax Receivable Agreement” or "TRA") , which provides for the payment by the Company of 85% of the amount of any tax benefits realized as a result of (i) increases in the share of the tax basis in the net assets of UBH resulting from the Business Combination and any future exchanges by the Continuing Members of UBH units for UBI common stock; (ii) tax basis increases attributable to payments made under the TRA; and (iii) tax amortization deductions attributable to the acquisition of Kennedy and the election to treat the transaction as an asset deal for tax purposes (the "TRA Payments"). The rights of each party under the TRA other than the Company are assignable, subject to certain restrictions. The timing and amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the timing and amount of taxable income generated by the Company each year, as well as the tax rate then applicable, among other factors. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a liability of $24.3 million and $24.3 million, respectively, related to its projected obligations under the TRA, which is reflected as current and non-current accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Utz Brands, Inc. ("UBI" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, such financial information reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or for the full year. The consolidated interim financial statements, including our significant accounting policies, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Consolidation	All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Prior Period Revision	Prior Period Revision - Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows – For the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, the Company disclosed the borrowings of lines of credit and repayments of lines of credit as separate line items within the financing activities section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company has corrected these line items for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2023 for comparability purposes and deems the change to that period to be immaterial.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenues primarily consist of the sale of salty snack items to customers, including supermarkets, mass merchants, club stores, dollar and discount stores, convenience stores, independent grocery stores, drug stores, food service, vending, military, and other channels. The Company sells its products in most regions of the United States primarily through its direct-store delivery ("DSD") network, direct to warehouse shipments, and third-party distributors. These revenue contracts generally have a single performance obligation. Revenue, which includes shipping and handling charges billed to the customer, is reported net of variable consideration and consideration payable to customers, including applicable discounts, returns, allowances, trade promotion, consumer coupon redemption, unsaleable product, and other costs, some of which are recorded in Selling and distribution. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as accounts receivables and require payment on a short-term basis and, therefore, the Company does not have any significant financing components. The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the goods to customers. Control is transferred upon delivery of the goods to the customer. Shipping and/or handling costs that occur before the customer obtains control of the goods are deemed to be fulfillment activities and are accounted for as fulfillment costs. Applicable shipping and handling are included in customer billing and are recorded as revenue as the products’ control is transferred to customers. The Company assesses the goods promised in customer purchase orders and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer a good that is distinct. The Company offers various forms of trade promotions and the methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on local customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to provisions based on actual occurrence or performance. The Company’s promotional activities are conducted either through the retail trade or directly with consumers and include activities such as in store displays and events, feature price discounts, consumer coupons, and loyalty programs. The costs of these activities are recognized at the time the related revenue is recorded, which normally precedes the actual cash expenditure. The recognition of these costs therefore requires management judgment regarding the volume of promotional offers that will be redeemed by either the retail trade customer or consumer. These estimates are made using various techniques including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to amend existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosures for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company's income tax disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. Among other changes, the amendments will require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
