SpartanNash 2025 Q2 Earnings Sharp Earnings Drop Amid Revenue Growth

SpartanNash reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 14, 2025. The company delivered modest revenue growth but saw a significant decline in profitability, with earnings falling more than 40% year over year. SpartanNash did not issue updated financial guidance, citing the pending C&S Wholesale Grocers acquisition as a limiting factor.

SpartanNash’s total revenue increased by 1.8% to $2.27 billion in Q2 2025, driven by growth in both the wholesale and retail segments. The wholesale division reported $1.51 billion in revenue, forming the backbone of the company’s earnings, while the retail segment contributed $762.86 million, demonstrating continued demand for SpartanNash’s retail offerings.

SpartanNash’s earnings per share (EPS) declined 47.1% to $0.18 in the quarter, a sharp fall from $0.34 in the same period last year. Meanwhile, net income fell to $6.19 million, a 46.1% drop from $11.49 million in 2024 Q2. The significant earnings contraction indicates operational or cost challenges despite the modest topline increase.

The stock price of SpartanNash has shown minimal movement in recent periods. It edged down 0.19% during the latest trading day, 0.11% during the most recent full trading week, and edged up 0.08% month-to-date.

A historical post-earnings price action review revealed that buying SpartanNash shares after a revenue increase quarter-over-quarter and holding for 30 days resulted in a -7.97% return over the past three years. This underperformed the benchmark return of 46.48%, delivering an excess return of -54.45%. The strategy displayed a compound annual growth rate of -2.82% and a maximum drawdown of 0.00%, indicating no growth and a risk of total loss.

SpartanNash President and CEO Tony Sarsam emphasized the company’s strong profitability from cost savings and margin expansion, noting performance ahead of expectations. Sarsam highlighted the team’s execution of the strategic plan and expressed confidence in maximizing shareholder value. The CEO also reiterated that the pending C&S Wholesale Grocers transaction remains a top priority, with the expectation of delivering greater value to grocery stores and shoppers nationwide upon its closure in late 2025.

The company indicated it will not provide financial guidance for fiscal 2025, citing that the pending C&S transaction precludes the need for an earnings call or outlook. The transaction is expected to close in late 2025, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
