PART I

Item 1. Business

Performance Food Group Company, through its subsidiaries, markets and distributes more than 250,000 food and food-related products to customers across North America, from our 155 distribution centers to over 300,000 customer locations in the food-away-from-home industry. Our approximately 43,000 employees serve a diverse mix of customers, from independent and chain restaurants to schools, business and industry locations, hospitals, vending distributors, office coffee service distributors, retailers, convenience stores, and theaters. We source our products from various suppliers and serve as an important partner to our suppliers by providing them access to our broad customer base. In addition to the products we offer to our customers, we provide value-added services by allowing our customers to benefit from our industry knowledge, scale, and expertise in the areas of product selection and procurement, menu development, and operational strategy.

On October 8, 2024, the Company acquired Cheney Bros., Inc. (“Cheney Brothers”), expanding our Foodservice operations in the Southeastern portion of the United States. Refer to Note 4. Business Combinations within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements (“Item 8”) for additional details regarding the acquisition of Cheney Brothers.

Our Segments

The Company regularly monitors for changes in facts and circumstances that would necessitate changes in its determination of operating segments. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company updated its operating segments to reflect the manner in which the business is managed. Based on changes to the Company’s organizational structure and how operating results are reviewed and decisions about resource allocations are made, certain operations and administrative and corporate costs previously reported in Corporate & All Other are now included in the Foodservice segment. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company also renamed the segment formerly known as “Vistar,” which, going forward, has been referred to as “Specialty.” There were no changes to the operations reported within the Specialty (formerly Vistar) segment.

The Company continues to have three reportable segments: Foodservice, Convenience, and Specialty. Corporate & All Other is comprised of corporate overhead and certain operating segments that are not considered separate reportable segments based on their size.

Foodservice. Foodservice offers a broad line of products, including custom-cut meat and seafood, as well as products that are specific to our customers’ menu requirements. Foodservice operates a network of 89 distribution centers, each of which is run by a business team who understands the local markets and the particular needs of its customers and who is empowered to make decisions on how best to serve them.

The Foodservice segment markets and distributes food and food-related products to independent restaurants, chain restaurants, and other institutional food-away-from-home locations. Independent customers predominantly include family dining, bar and grill, pizza and Italian, Hispanic, and fast casual restaurants. We seek to increase the mix of our total sales to independent customers because they typically use more value-added services, particularly in the areas of product selection and procurement, market trends, menu development, and operational strategy and also use more of our proprietary-branded products (“Performance Brands”), which are our higher margin products. As a result, independent customers generate higher gross profit per case that more than offsets the generally higher supply chain costs that we incur in serving these customers. Chain customers are multi-unit restaurants with five or more locations and include fine dining, family and casual dining, fast casual, and quick-serve restaurants, as well as hotels, healthcare facilities, and other multi-unit institutional customers. Our Foodservice segment’s chain customers include regional businesses requiring short-haul routes as well as national businesses requiring long-haul routes, including many of the most recognizable family and casual dining restaurant chains. Sales to chain customers are typically lower gross margin but have larger deliveries than those to independent customers.

We offer our customers a broad product assortment that ranges from “center-of-the-plate” items (such as beef, pork, poultry, and seafood), frozen foods, refrigerated products, and dry groceries to disposables, cleaning and kitchen supplies, and related products used by our customers. In addition to the products we offer, we provide value-added services by enabling our customers to benefit from our industry knowledge, scale, and expertise in the areas of product selection and procurement, menu development, and operational strategy.

Our products consist of Performance Brands, as well as nationally branded products and products bearing our customers’ brands. Our Performance Brands typically generate higher gross profit per case than other brands. Nationally branded products are attractive to chain, independent, and other customers seeking recognized national brands in their operations and complement sales of our Performance Brand products. Some of our chain customers, particularly those with national distribution, develop exclusive stock keeping units (“SKU”) specifications directly with suppliers and brand these SKUs. We purchase these SKUs directly from suppliers and receive them into our distribution centers, where they are mixed with other SKUs and delivered to the chain customers’ locations.

3


 

Convenience. The Convenience segment is one of the largest wholesale consumer products and foodservice distributors in the convenience retail industry. Convenience offers a full range of products, marketing programs and technology solutions to customer locations including traditional convenience stores, drug stores, mass merchants, grocery stores, liquor stores and other specialty and small format stores that carry convenience products in the United States and Canada. Convenience's product offering includes cigarettes and other nicotine products, candy, snacks, food, including fresh products, groceries, dairy, bread, beverages, general merchandise and health and beauty care products. Convenience operates a network of 39 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada (excluding two distribution facilities it operates as a third-party logistics provider). There are 35 distribution centers located in the U.S. and four located in Canada.

Specialty. Specialty (formerly Vistar) is a leading national distributor of candy, snacks, beverages, and other food items operating a network of 27 Specialty distribution centers.

Specialty has successfully built upon our national platform to broaden the channels we serve. Specialty distribution centers deliver to vending and office coffee service distributors as well as direct to customer locations including theaters and retail locations. The distribution model also includes “pick and pack” capabilities utilizing small parcel third-party carriers to deliver direct to consumers for our supplier partners and to our customers whose order sizes are too small to be served effectively by our truck network. We believe these capabilities, in conjunction with the breadth of our inventory, are differentiating and allow us to serve many distinct customer types. Specialty's scale in the channels it serves enhances our ability to procure a broad variety of products for our customers.

The Company had no customers that comprised more than 10% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, or fiscal 2023.

Suppliers

We source our products from various suppliers and serve as an important partner to our suppliers by providing them access to our broad customer base. Many of our suppliers provide products to each of our reportable segments, while others sell to only one segment. Our supplier base consists principally of large corporations that sell their national brands, our Performance Brands, and sometimes both. We also buy from smaller suppliers, particularly on a regional basis, and particularly those that specialize in produce and other perishable commodities. Many of our suppliers provide sales material and sales call support for the products that we purchase.

Pricing

Our pricing to customers is either set by contract with the customer or is priced at the time of order. If the price is by contract, it is either based on a percentage markup over cost or a fixed markup per unit, and the unit may be expressed either in cases or pounds of product. If the pricing is set at time of order, the pricing is agreed to between our sales associate and the customer and is typically based on a product cost that fluctuates weekly or more frequently.

If contracts are based on a fixed markup per unit or pound, our customers bear the risk of cost fluctuations during the contract life. In the case of a fixed markup percentage, we typically bear the risk of cost deflation or the benefit of cost inflation. If pricing is set at the time of order, we have the current cost of goods in our inventory and typically pass cost increases or decreases to our customers. We generally do not lock in or otherwise hedge commodity costs or other costs of goods sold except within certain customer contracts based on a fixed markup per unit or pound where the customer bears the risk of cost fluctuation. We believe that our pricing mechanisms provide us with significant insulation from fluctuations in the cost of goods that we sell. Our inventory turns, on average, every three-and-a-half weeks, which further protects us from cost fluctuations.

We seek to minimize the effect of higher diesel fuel costs both by reducing fuel usage and by taking action to offset higher fuel prices. We reduce usage by designing more efficient truck routes and by increasing miles per gallon through on-board computers that monitor and adjust idling time and maximum speeds and through other technologies. We seek to manage fuel prices through diesel fuel surcharges to our customers and through the use of costless collars. As of June 28, 2025, we had collars in place for approximately 15% of the gallons we expect to use over the 12 months following June 28, 2025.

Competition

The foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive, with numerous national, regional, local, and specialty distributors. Certain of our competitors may have greater scale and financial and other resources than we do in certain markets. Smaller distributors often align themselves with other smaller distributors through purchasing cooperatives and marketing groups to enhance their geographic reach, private label offerings, overall purchasing power, cost efficiencies, and to assemble delivery networks for national or multi-regional distribution. We often do not have exclusive service agreements with our customers, and our customers may switch to other distributors if those distributors can offer lower prices, differentiated products, or customer service that is perceived to be superior. We believe that most purchasing decisions in the foodservice business are based on the quality and price of the product and a distributor’s ability to fill orders completely and accurately and to provide timely deliveries.

We believe we have a competitive advantage through economies of scale in purchasing and procurement, which allow us to offer a broad variety of products (including our proprietary Performance Brands) at competitive prices to our customers. Our customers benefit from our ability to provide them with extensive geographic coverage as they continue to grow. We believe we also benefit from supply chain efficiency, including a growing inbound logistics backhaul network that uses our collective distribution network to deliver inbound products across business segments; best practices in warehousing, transportation, and risk management; the ability to benefit from the scale of our purchases of items and services not for resale, such as trucks, construction materials, insurance, banking relationships, healthcare, and material handling equipment; and the ability to optimize our networks so that customers are served from the most efficient distribution centers, which minimizes the cost of delivery. We believe these efficiencies and economies of scale provide opportunities for improvements in our operating margins.

Seasonality

Historically, the food-away-from-home and foodservice distribution industries are seasonal, with lower profit in the first quarter of each calendar year. Consequently, we may experience lower operating profit during our third fiscal quarter, depending on the timing of acquisitions, if any.

Trademarks and Trade Names

We have numerous perpetual trademarks and trade names that are of significant importance, including Performance Food Group®, Performance Foodservice®, Core-Mark®, and VistarSM. We also have registered or applied for trademark protections for our Performance Brands. These trademarks and the Performance Brands on which they are used are widely recognized within the foodservice industry. Although in the aggregate these trademark and trade names are material to our results of operations, we believe the loss of a trademark or trade name individually would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We do not have any material patents or licenses.

Human Capital Resources

Our people are the driving force behind everything we do. Our focus is on attracting, developing, and retaining talented people who bring a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We are committed to creating an environment where every associate feels they belong and can meaningfully contribute to our shared success. Just as important, we prioritize the safety, health, and well-being of our associates.

Associates. As of June 28, 2025, our team included approximately 43,000 associates across North America, including those in our consolidated subsidiaries. Approximately 99% of our associates were employed on a full-time basis, and approximately 70% were non-exempt, or paid on an hourly basis. Our workforce spans a wide range of functions, from warehouse operations and delivery drivers to corporate teams and frontline customer support, each playing a vital role in serving our customers and communities.

Talent Acquisition. Attracting top talent is essential to delivering on our commitments to customers, communities, and shareholders. Our talent acquisition strategy focuses on attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining individuals whose skills, experiences, and values align with our business goals and culture.

Compensation and Benefits. We believe that fair, competitive compensation is fundamental to attracting and retaining top talent. Our compensation approach combines base pay aligned with external market data and performance-based incentive programs. Eligible associates can participate in short-term incentive plans, including cash bonuses tied to the company’s financial performance and other key priorities. For long-term growth, we offer equity awards to eligible associates, designed to foster ownership, reward sustained contributions, and align our shared interests with those of our stockholders.

Beyond pay, we offer a comprehensive suite of benefits to support the well-being of our associates and their families. These benefits include time off through paid vacation, sick days, holidays, and personal time, as well as family leave; insurance offerings such as disability insurance, life insurance and healthcare; and financial benefits such as a 401(k) plan with a company match, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, adoption assistance, education assistance, a scholarship program for children of associates, flexible spending accounts, and health savings accounts. Additionally, we offer an Employee Assistance Program that provides professional support for associates and their family members to balance the stress of personal and professional demands at home, in the office, in distribution centers and on the road. In addition to compensation and benefits, we offer associate recognition programs to foster a culture of appreciation and reinforce the behaviors that drive our success.

People and Culture. As one of the nation's leading foodservice distributors, we are committed to creating a workplace where our associates feel valued and can thrive. As part of this commitment, we embrace key workplace culture strategies such as:

Promote a sense of community and connection to engage our workforce.
Invest in attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining the best talent to reflect our customers and the communities they serve.

This work is championed by our senior leadership team and supported through programs such as our associate resource groups. These associate-led communities, which are open to all associates, create spaces for connection, cultural awareness, professional development, and engagement.

Learning and Organizational Development. We believe in investing in our people at every stage of their careers. Our enterprise-wide learning strategy is designed to help associates succeed in their current roles while preparing them for future growth.

It starts with a thoughtful onboarding experience and continues with ongoing development opportunities. By reviewing strategic needs, compliance training requirements, and associate engagement survey data, we create and implement comprehensive training programs. This approach strives to deliver the right broad-based learning and development opportunities at the right time to support both organizational and associate growth. We use a blend of instructor-led sessions and self-paced online learning to provide role-specific training that is accessible when and where it is needed.

Our leadership development program is designed to provide training opportunities for all levels of leadership, from entry level to executive, and equip them with the skills to lead effectively, drive innovation, and inspire high performance.

Our Learning Management System delivers a wide range of on-demand courses tailored to an associate's role, including compliance training, leadership development, and safety modules. Additionally, our segments offer specialized training aligned with both operational needs and the broader company strategy.

Health, Safety and Wellness. Keeping our associates safe and healthy is a responsibility we take seriously. We embed safety into every part of our business through robust training, safety awareness programs, behavioral observation practices, and the use of telematics and other technologies.

We continuously look for ways to improve by identifying and addressing risks, making process improvements, and adopting new tools and systems. Our approach includes proactive coaching, education, and a commitment to fostering a safety-first culture, whether our associates are working in warehouses, driving on the road, or serving customers in other roles.

Engagement. We believe engaged associates are the foundation of a strong company. We work to build, measure, and enhance associate engagement through a variety of communications and activities. In response to associate feedback, we have introduced numerous initiatives to strengthen the associate experience, including enhanced onboarding with day-one benefits, expanded education assistance, new leadership training programs, clearer career pathways, and better communication tools.

We also create opportunities for connection and celebration, including recognizing heritage or history months, participating in industry events such as the Truck Driving Championship and Truck Driver Hall of Fame, or supporting professional growth through partnerships such as the Women's Foodservice Forum, International Foodservice Distributors Association, and Women in Trucking.

Regulation

Our operations are subject to the applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules, and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate or conduct business. These laws, rules, and regulations may change in the future and we may incur material costs in our efforts to comply with current or future laws, rules, and regulations or in any required product recalls. Although we may incur additional material compliance-related costs in the future, to date, compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations has not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Product Safety, Regulatory and Legal Matters- Our business is subject to significant governmental regulation, and costs or claims for non-compliance related to these requirements could adversely affect our business.

Food Safety. Our operations are subject to various laws and regulations relating to, among other things, the manufacturing, processing, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising, and labeling of our products, including regulation by state and local health departments, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), which generally impose standards for product quality and sanitation and are responsible for the administration of bioterrorism legislation affecting the foodservice industry. The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (the “FSMA”) imposes comprehensive, prevention-based controls across the food supply chain, further regulates food products imported into the United States, and provides the FDA with mandatory recall authority. The FDA has finalized FSMA regulations for implementation, which have significantly expanded our food safety requirements. We have established and continue to maintain comprehensive, prevention-based controls across the food supply chain that are both verified and validated, as required by the FDA regulations implementing FSMA. Our seafood operations are also specifically regulated by federal and state laws, including those administered by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, established for the preservation of certain species of marine life, including fish and shellfish. Our distribution and certain manufacturing facilities must be registered with the FDA and are subject to periodic government agency inspections by federal and/or state authorities. The Federal Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, which specifies standards for the sale, shipment, inspection, and rejection of agricultural products, governs our relationships with our fresh produce suppliers with respect to the grading and commercial acceptance of product shipments. We are also subject to regulation by state authorities for the accuracy of our weighing and measuring devices. Our suppliers are also subject to similar regulatory requirements and oversight.

6


 

Our customers include several departments of the U.S. federal government, as well as certain state and local governmental entities. These customer relationships subject us to additional regulations applicable to government contractors.

Labor and Employment. Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local laws and other requirements, including employment practice standards for workers set by the U.S. Department of Labor. We are also subject to the National Labor Relations Act, which governs the process for collective bargaining between employers and employees and protects the rights of both employers and employees in the workplace; the Fair Labor Standards Act, which establishes minimum wages and overtime standards, among other requirements; various laws that prohibit discrimination in employment based on non-merit categories, including but not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other laws relating to accessibility. Our workers’ compensation programs are subject to regulation by the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Environmental. Our operations are also subject to a broad range of federal, state, and local laws and other requirements relating to the protection of the environment and the safety and health of personnel and the public. These include requirements regarding the use, storage, and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and petroleum products, including food processing wastes, the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, and worker safety and health practices and procedures. We operate and maintain vehicle fleets, and some of our distribution centers have regulated underground and aboveground storage tanks for diesel fuel and other petroleum products. Some jurisdictions in which we operate have laws that affect the composition and operation of our truck fleet, such as limits on diesel emissions and engine idling. A number of our facilities have ammonia- or freon-based refrigeration systems, which could cause injury or environmental damage if accidentally released, and many of our distribution centers have propane or battery powered forklifts.

Transportation. The Surface Transportation Board and the Federal Highway Administration regulate our trucking operations. In addition, interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety requirements prescribed in the U.S. Department of Transportation and other relevant federal and state agencies. We must comply with the safety and fitness regulations promulgated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, including those relating to drug and alcohol testing and hours of service. Such matters as weight and dimension of equipment are also subject to federal and state regulations.

Trade. For the purchase of products produced, harvested or manufactured outside of the U.S., and for shipment of products to customers located outside of the U.S., we are subject to applicable customs laws regarding the import and export of various products.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

Periods of difficult economic conditions, a public health crisis, other macroeconomic or geopolitical events and heightened uncertainty in the financial markets may affect consumer spending and confidence, which can adversely affect our business.

The foodservice industry is sensitive to national, regional and international economic conditions. Our business could be negatively impacted by reduced demand for our products related to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions triggered by developments beyond our control, including geopolitical events, trade policies (including tariff increases), health crises (including pandemics and epidemics), and other events that trigger economic volatility. In particular, deteriorating economic conditions and heightened uncertainty in the financial markets, inflationary pressure, an uncertain political environment, tariff increases, and supply chain disruptions have in the past and may in the future negatively affect consumer confidence and discretionary spending. In fiscal 2025, product cost inflation contributed to an increase in selling price per case and an increase in net sales. However, sustained inflationary pressure and macroeconomic

7


 

challenges could negatively affect consumer discretionary spending decisions within our customers’ establishments, which could negatively impact our sales. Such conditions and high levels of uncertainty make it difficult to predict when, or if, a recession may occur.

We rely on third-party suppliers, and our business may be affected by interruption of supplies or increases in product costs.

We obtain substantially all of our foodservice and related products from third-party suppliers. We typically do not have long-term contracts with our suppliers. Although our purchasing volume can sometimes provide an advantage when dealing with suppliers, suppliers may not provide the foodservice products and supplies needed by us in the quantities and timeframe and at the prices requested. Our suppliers may also be affected by higher costs to source or produce and transport food products, as well as by other related expenses that they pass through to their customers, which could result in higher costs for the products they supply to us. Because we do not control the actual production of most of the products we sell, we are also subject to supply chain interruptions, delays caused by interruption in production, and increases in product costs, including those resulting from product recalls or a need to find alternate materials or suppliers, based on conditions outside our control. These conditions include labor shortages, work slowdowns, work interruptions, strikes or other job actions by employees of suppliers, government shutdowns, weather conditions, crop conditions, product or raw material scarcity, water shortages, transportation interruptions, unavailability of fuel or increases in fuel costs, competitive demands, contamination with mold, bacteria or other contaminants, pandemics, natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including the outbreak of e. coli or similar food borne illnesses or acts of terrorism, international hostilities, civil insurrection, and social unrest. Our inability to obtain adequate supplies of foodservice and related products as a result of any of the foregoing factors or otherwise could mean that we may not be able to fulfill our obligations to our customers and, as a result, our customers may turn to other distributors. Our inability to anticipate and react to changing food costs through our sourcing and purchasing practices in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Competition in our industry is intense, and we may not be able to compete successfully.

The foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive, with numerous regional, local, and specialty distributors. Certain of our competitors may have greater scale, financial and other resources than we do in certain markets. Smaller distributors often align themselves with other smaller distributors through purchasing cooperatives and marketing groups to enhance their geographic reach, private label offerings, overall purchasing power, and cost efficiencies and to assemble delivery networks for national or multi-regional distribution. We often do not have exclusive service agreements with our customers, and our customers may switch to other distributors if those distributors can offer lower prices, differentiated products, or customer service that is perceived to be superior. Such changes may occur particularly during periods of economic uncertainty, including uncertainty due to significant inflation. We believe that most purchasing decisions in the foodservice business are based on the quality and price of the product and a distributor’s ability to fill orders completely and accurately and provide timely deliveries. Our current or potential future competitors may be able to provide products or services that are comparable or superior to those provided by us or adapt more quickly than we do to evolving trends or changing market requirements. Further, although we have strategies to remain competitive in the marketplace by reducing our cost structure, if one or more of our competitors in the foodservice distribution industry adopted a lower cost structure, we would potentially be pressured to lower prices to our customers and would need to achieve cost savings to offset these reductions. Accordingly, we may be unable to compete effectively against current and potential future competitors, and increased competition may result in price reductions or other concessions, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We operate in a low margin industry, which could increase the volatility of our results of operations.

Similar to other resale-based industries, the distribution industry is characterized by relatively low profit margins. These low profit margins tend to increase the volatility of our reported net income since any decline in our net sales or increase in our costs that is small relative to our total net sales or costs could have a material impact on our net income.

Volatile food costs may have a direct impact upon our profitability.

We make a significant portion of our sales at prices that are based on the cost of products we sell plus a percentage markup. As a result, volatile food costs may have a direct impact upon our profitability. Our sales and profit levels may be negatively affected during periods of product cost deflation, even though our gross profit percentage may remain relatively constant or even increase. Prolonged periods of product cost inflation also may have a negative impact on our profit margins and earnings to the extent such product cost increases are not passed on to customers because of their resistance to higher prices. For example, we experienced inflation of 4.7% for fiscal 2025, which increased our product costs. Furthermore, our business model requires us to maintain an inventory of products, and changes in price levels between the time that we acquire inventory from our suppliers and the time we sell the inventory to our customers could lead to unexpected shifts in demand for our products or could require us to sell inventory at lesser profit or a loss. In addition, product cost inflation may negatively affect consumer discretionary spending decisions within our customers’ establishments, which could negatively impact our sales. Our inability to quickly respond to inflationary and deflationary cost pressures could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Many of our customers are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us.

Many of our customers buy from us pursuant to individual purchase orders, and we often do not enter into long-term agreements with these customers. Because such customers are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us, the volume or number of our customers’ purchase orders may not remain constant or increase, and we may be unable to maintain our existing customer base. Significant decreases in the volume or number of our customers’ purchase orders or our inability to retain or grow our current customer base could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Group purchasing organizations may become more active in our industry and increase their efforts to add our customers as members of these organizations.

Some of our customers, particularly our larger customers, purchase their products from us through group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) in an effort to lower the prices paid by these customers on their foodservice orders, and we have in the past experienced some pricing pressure from these purchasers. These GPOs have also made efforts to include smaller, independent restaurants. If these GPOs are able to add a significant number of our customers as members, we may be forced to lower the prices we charge these customers in order to retain their business, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Additionally, if we are unable or unwilling to lower the prices we charge for our products to a level that is satisfactory to the GPOs, we may lose the business of those customers that are members of these organizations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Changes in consumer eating habits could reduce the demand for our products and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Changes in consumer eating habits (such as a decline in consuming food away from home, a decline in portion sizes, or a shift in preferences toward restaurants that are not our customers) could reduce demand for our products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Consumer eating habits can be affected by a number of factors, including changes in attitudes regarding diet and health, new information regarding the health effects of consuming certain foods or ingredients, or the impact of weight loss drugs. If consumer eating habits change significantly, we may be required to modify or discontinue sales of certain items in our product portfolio, and we may experience higher costs associated with the implementation of those changes. Changing consumer eating habits may also reduce the frequency with which consumers purchase meals outside of the home.

Additionally, changes in consumer eating habits may result in the enactment of laws and regulations that affect the ingredients and nutritional content of our food products, or laws and regulations requiring us to make additional disclosures regarding the ingredients and nutritional content of our food products. Moreover, compliance with these laws and regulations, as well as others, may be costly and time-consuming. Our inability to effectively respond to changes in food away from home consumer trends, consumer health perceptions or resulting new laws or regulations, or to adapt our menu offerings to trends in eating habits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Extreme weather conditions and natural disasters may interrupt our business or our customers’ or suppliers’ businesses.

Many of our facilities and our customers’ or suppliers’ facilities are located in areas that may be subject to extreme and occasionally prolonged weather conditions, including hurricanes, blizzards, earthquakes, and extreme heat or cold. Such extreme weather conditions could interrupt our operations. Furthermore, such extreme weather conditions may disrupt critical infrastructure and interrupt or impede access to our facilities or our customers’ or vendors’ facilities, reduce the number of consumers who visit our customers’ facilities in such areas, interrupt our suppliers’ production or shipments or increase our suppliers’ product costs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Fluctuations in fuel prices and other transportation costs could harm our business.

The high cost of fuel can negatively affect consumer confidence and discretionary spending and, as a result, reduce the frequency and amount spent by consumers within our customers’ establishments for food away from home. The high price of fuel and other transportation related costs, such as tolls, fuel taxes, and license and registration fees, can also increase the price we pay for products as well as the costs incurred by us to deliver products to our customers. Furthermore, both the price and supply of fuel are unpredictable and fluctuate based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments (such as the war in the Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East), supply and demand for oil and gas, actions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing countries and regions, regional production patterns, and environmental concerns. These factors, if occurring over an extended period of time, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

From time to time, we may enter into arrangements to manage our exposure to fuel costs. Such arrangements, however, may not be effective and may result in us paying higher than market costs for a portion of our fuel. In addition, the use of such arrangements may expose us to the risk that our counterparties fail to perform their obligations, which could result in financial losses. Furthermore,

9


 

while we have been successful in the past in implementing fuel surcharges to offset fuel cost increases, we may not be able to do so in the future.

In addition, compliance with current and future environmental laws and regulations relating to carbon emissions and the effects of global climate change can be expected to have a significant impact on our transportation costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

If we fail to increase our sales in the highest margin portions of our business, our profitability may suffer.

Distribution is a relatively low margin industry. The most profitable customers within the distribution industry are generally independent customers. In addition, our most profitable products are our Performance Brands. We typically provide a higher level of services to our independent customers and are able to earn a higher operating margin on sales to independent customers. Independent customers are also more likely to purchase our Performance Brands. Our ability to continue to penetrate this key customer type is critical to achieving increased operating profits. Changes in the buying practices of independent customers or decreases in our sales to independent customers or a decrease in the sales of our Performance Brands could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Changes in pricing practices of our suppliers could negatively affect our profitability.

Distributors have traditionally generated a significant percentage of their gross margins from promotional allowances paid by their suppliers. Promotional allowances are payments from suppliers based upon the efficiencies that the distributor provides to its suppliers through purchasing scale and through marketing and merchandising expertise. Promotional allowances are a standard practice among suppliers to distributors and represent a significant source of profitability for us and our competitors. Any change in such practices that results in the reduction or elimination of promotional allowances could be disruptive to us and the industry as a whole and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our growth and innovation strategies may not achieve the anticipated results.

Our success depends on our ability to grow our business, including through increasing our independent and organic sales, expanding our Performance Brands, making strategic acquisitions, and achieving improved operating efficiencies as we continue to expand and diversify our customer base. Our growth and innovation strategies require significant commitments of management resources and capital investments and may not grow our net sales at the rate we expect or at all. As a result, we may not be able to recover the costs incurred in developing our new projects and initiatives or to realize their intended or projected benefits, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Additionally, the market for acquisition targets in the foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive, which could make it more difficult to find appropriate strategic acquisition opportunities and impact our ability to grow our business.

We may not be able to realize benefits of acquisitions or successfully integrate the businesses we acquire [and we may incur significant costs related to the integration of acquired businesses].

Our growth strategy includes growth through strategic acquisitions. If we are unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully or to realize anticipated economic, operational, and other benefits and synergies in a timely manner, our profitability could be adversely affected. Integration of an acquired business may be more difficult when we acquire a business in a market in which we have limited expertise or with a company culture different from ours. A significant expansion of our business and operations, in terms of geography or magnitude, could strain our administrative and operational resources. Additionally, we may be unable to retain qualified management and other key personnel employed by acquired companies and may fail to build a network of acquired companies in new markets. We could also face significantly greater competition from broadline foodservice distributors in these markets than we face in our existing markets.

We regularly evaluate opportunities to acquire other companies. To the extent our future growth includes acquisitions, we may not be able to obtain the necessary financing for such acquisitions, consummate such potential acquisitions effectively, effectively and efficiently integrate any acquired entities, or successfully expand into new markets.

In connection with our acquisition of businesses in the future, if any, we may decide to consolidate the operations of any acquired business with our existing operations or make other changes with respect to the acquired business, which could result in special charges or expenses. Our results of operations also may be adversely affected by expenses we incur in making acquisitions, by amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets with definite lives and by additional depreciation attributable to acquired assets. Moreover, in connection with contemplated or completed acquisitions, we may incur related asset impairment charges that reduce our profitability.

A significant portion of our sales volume is dependent upon the distribution of cigarettes and other tobacco products, sales of which are generally declining.

10


 

A significant portion of our sales volume depends upon the distribution of cigarettes and other tobacco products. Due to restrictions on cigarette manufacturers’ marketing and promotions, decreases in social acceptance of cigarettes, increases in cigarette regulation and excise taxes, health concerns, increased pressure from anti-tobacco groups, the rise in popularity of tobacco alternatives, including legal and illicit e-vapor products, oral nicotine pouches, and other alternative nicotine products, increases in the prices of cigarettes, and other factors, cigarette consumption in the United States has been declining over the past few decades. In many instances, tobacco alternatives, such as e-vapor products, are not subject to federal, state, and local excise taxes like the sale of conventional cigarettes or other tobacco products. We expect consumption trends of legal cigarette products will continue to be negatively impacted by the factors described above. If we are unable to sell other products to make up for these declines in cigarette sales, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Adverse publicity about us, lack of confidence in our products or services, and other risks could negatively affect our reputation and our business.

Maintaining a good reputation and public confidence in the safety of the products we distribute or services we provide is critical to our business, particularly to selling our Performance Brands products. Anything that damages our reputation, or the public’s confidence in our products, services, facilities, delivery fleet, operations, or employees, whether or not justified, including adverse publicity about the quality, safety, or integrity of our products, could negatively affect our net sales and profits. Reports, whether true or not, of food-borne illnesses or harmful bacteria (such as e. coli, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, hepatitis A, trichinosis, listeria, or salmonella) and injuries caused by food tampering could also severely injure our reputation or negatively affect the public’s confidence in our products. We may need to recall our products if they become adulterated. If patrons of our restaurant customers become ill from food-borne illnesses, our customers could be forced to temporarily close restaurant locations and our sales would be correspondingly decreased. In addition, instances of food-borne illnesses, food tampering, or other health concerns, such epidemics and pandemics, even those unrelated to the use of our products, or public concern regarding the safety of our products, can result in negative publicity about the foodservice distribution industry and cause our sales to decrease dramatically. Health concerns and negative publicity could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations and damage the reputation of, or result in a lack of acceptance of, our products or the brands that we carry or the services that we provide.

Moreover, the growing use of social and digital media by consumers has greatly increased the speed and extent that information or misinformation and opinions can be shared. Negative posts or comments about us, our brands, or our products on social or digital media could significantly damage our brands and reputation, regardless of its accuracy or the reputability of its source, including as a result of fictitious media content (such as content produced by generative AI or bad actors). Additionally, negative reaction to our marketing and advertising, including our social media content, could result in damage to our brands and reputation.

We have experienced losses because of the inability to collect accounts receivable in the past and could experience increases in such losses in the future if our customers are unable to pay their debts to us when due.

Certain of our customers have from time to time experienced bankruptcy, insolvency, or an inability to pay their debts to us as they come due. If our customers suffer significant financial difficulty, they may be unable to pay their debts to us timely or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. It is possible that customers may contest their contractual obligations to us under bankruptcy laws or otherwise. Significant customer bankruptcies could further adversely affect our net sales and increase our operating expenses by requiring larger provisions for bad debt expense. In addition, even when our contracts with these customers are not contested, if customers are unable to meet their obligations on a timely basis, it could adversely affect our ability to collect receivables. Further, we may have to negotiate significant discounts or extended financing terms with these customers in such a situation. If we are unable to collect upon our accounts receivable as they come due in an efficient and timely manner, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Insurance and claims expenses could significantly reduce our profitability.

Our future insurance and claims expenses might exceed historic levels, which could reduce our profitability. We maintain high-deductible insurance programs covering portions of general and vehicle liability and workers’ compensation. The amount in excess of the deductibles is insured by third-party insurance carriers, subject to certain limitations and exclusions. We also maintain self-funded group medical insurance.

We reserve for anticipated losses and expenses and periodically evaluate and adjust our claims reserves to reflect our experience. However, ultimate results may differ from our estimates, which could result in losses over our reserved amounts.

Although we believe our aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover reasonably expected claims costs, including claims related to incidents within our operations and vehicle and driver related claims, it is possible that the amount of one or more claims could exceed our aggregate coverage limits. Additionally, insurance carriers have raised premiums on certain lines of coverage for many businesses in our industry, including ours. For example, we experienced a $28.0 million increase in insurance expense in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, primarily related to vehicle liability and workers’ compensation. Our insurance and claims expense could continue to increase in the future. Our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely

11


 

affected if (1) total claims costs significantly exceed our coverage limits, (2) we experience a claim in excess of our coverage limits, (3) our insurance carriers fail to pay on our insurance claims, (4) we experience a claim for which coverage is not provided, (5) a large number of claims may cause our cost under our deductibles to differ from historic averages or (6) insurance carriers continue to significantly raise premiums in the industry and for our business.

Activist shareholders or potential bidders could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of our business strategy, and impact our stock price.

Publicly traded companies are increasingly subject to campaigns by activist shareholders advocating corporate actions such as operational, governance or management changes, sales of assets or entire segments, or business combination transactions. Activist shareholders could seek to engage in proxy solicitations, advance shareholder proposals, or otherwise attempt to assert influence on our board of directors and management. Additionally, we could be the target of an unsolicited bid by an activist, strategic buyer, or competitor. An unsolicited bid could also adversely impact our ability to recruit and retain employees and our ability to enter into agreements with potential business partners. Such events could result in substantial costs and divert management's and our board's attention and resources and cause fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals or prospects of our business. On August 7, 2025, the Chief Executive Officer of US Foods Holding Corp. issued public statements indicating interest in information sharing with us to explore regulatory considerations and potential synergies related to a potential business combination.

Risks Relating to Technology and Information Security

A cybersecurity incident or other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.

We rely upon information technology networks and systems to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support substantially all of our business processes and activities. We also use mobile devices, social networking, and other online activities to connect with our employees, suppliers, business partners, and customers.

These uses give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breaches, espionage, system disruption, theft, and inadvertent release of information. Our business involves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive or confidential information and intellectual property, including customers’ and suppliers’ personal information, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. We have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and prevent or mitigate other cybersecurity incidents. However, we and our third-party providers experience cybersecurity incidents of varying degrees from time-to-time, including ransomware and phishing attacks, as well as distributed denial of service attacks, social engineering attacks and the theft of data. To date, interruption of our information technology networks and systems and unauthorized access to or theft of data have been infrequent and have not had a material impact on our operations. However, because cyber-attacks are increasingly sophisticated and more frequent, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirely effective. In addition, cyber criminals are increasing their attacks on individual employees with business email compromise scams designed to trick victims into transferring sensitive data or funds, or steal credentials that compromise information systems. Moreover, as AI continues to evolve, malicious actors could use AI to enhance the sophistication and coordination of their attacks, which could pose significant challenges to our security defense. These and other operational risks may also be heightened due to a portion of our employees, and the employees of our customers, suppliers and business partners, working remotely or using personal devices due to challenges associated with managing remote computing assets and security vulnerabilities that are present in many non-corporate and home networks. There can be no assurance that our operations will not be materially adversely impacted in the future, and there is a risk that we may incur significant costs in protecting against or remediating cyberattacks or other cyber incidents, especially if the amount of insurance coverage we maintain is not sufficient to cover claims or liabilities relating to an incident. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, release of sensitive or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with our information technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, including our third-party service providers, suppliers, and customers, could result in business disruption, a disruption in our supply chain, or reduced customer orders, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of data and other privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability, and remediation costs, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Further, as we pursue our strategy to grow through acquisitions and to pursue new initiatives that improve our operations and cost structure, we are also expanding our information technologies, resulting in a larger technological presence and corresponding exposure to cybersecurity risk. Acquisition targets may have less mature information technology systems and/or less sophisticated measures in place to detect and prevent cybersecurity breaches or incidents, which could expose us to increased cybersecurity risk during the acquisition integration process until we improve their maturity or integrate them into our information technology standards.

12


 

Any failure to adequately assess, identify, and mitigate cybersecurity risks associated with acquisitions and new initiatives could increase our susceptibility to such risks.

We rely heavily on technology in our business, and any technology disruption or delay in implementing new technology could adversely affect our business.

The foodservice distribution industry is transaction intensive. Our ability to control costs and to maximize profits, as well as to serve customers effectively and efficiently, depends on the reliability of our information technology systems and related data entry processes. We rely on software and other technology systems, some of which are managed by third-party service providers, to manage significant aspects of our business, including making purchases, processing orders, managing our warehouses, loading trucks in the most efficient manner, and optimizing the use of storage space. Our reliance on such networks and systems has increased due to a portion of our employees, and the employees of our customers, suppliers and business partners, working remotely or using personal devices.

The failure of our information technology systems, including those managed by third-party service providers, to perform as we anticipate could disrupt our business and could result in transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, increased costs, and the loss of sales and customers, causing our business and results of operations to suffer. In addition, our information technology systems, including those managed by third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond our control, including fire, natural disasters, power outages, systems failures, security breaches, cyber-attacks, viruses, theft and inadvertent release of information. While we have invested and continue to invest in technology security initiatives and disaster recovery plans, these measures cannot fully insulate us from technology disruptions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Information technology systems evolve rapidly, and in order to compete effectively we are required to integrate new technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner. For example, we may incorporate AI solutions into our platform, offerings, services and features, and these applications may become important in our operations over time. Any failure to implement new technologies in a timely and cost- effective manner, or if competitors implement new technologies before we do, including AI, allowing such competitors to provide lower priced or enhanced services of superior quality compared to those we provide, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

As we integrate AI technologies into our processes, these technologies may present business, compliance, security, and reputational risks.

We have and are continuing to incorporate AI, including machine learning, into certain of our operations, such as sales, support and supply chain operations, and may in the future incorporate AI into more of our operations, with the intent to enhance their operation and effectiveness. Flaws, breaches or malfunctions in these systems could lead to operational disruptions, data loss, or erroneous decision-making, impacting our operations, financial condition and reputation. Legal challenges may arise, including or as a result of cybersecurity incidents, non-compliance with data protection regulations, and lack of transparency relating to the use of AI. The legal and regulatory landscape and industry standards surrounding AI technologies is rapidly evolving and remains uncertain, and compliance may impose significant operational costs and may limit our ability to develop, deploy or use AI technologies. Furthermore, the rapid evolution and increasing deployment of AI systems could both intensify our cybersecurity risks, such as data breaches and unauthorized access, and introduce new risks, leading to financial losses, legal liabilities, and reputational damage.

Risks Relating to Product Safety, Regulatory and Legal Matters

Our business is subject to significant governmental regulation, and costs or claims for non-compliance related to these requirements could adversely affect our business.

Food Safety: Our operations are subject to regulation by state and local health departments, the USDA, and the FDA, which generally impose standards for product quality and sanitation and are responsible for the administration of bioterrorism legislation affecting the foodservice industry. These government authorities regulate, among other things, the processing, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising, and labeling of our products. The FSMA imposes comprehensive, prevention-based controls across the food supply industry, further regulates food products imported into the United States, and provides the FDA with mandatory recall authority. Our seafood operations are also specifically regulated by federal and state laws, including those administered by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, established for the preservation of certain species of marine life, including fish and shellfish. Our distribution and certain manufacturing facilities must be registered with the FDA and are subject to periodic government agency inspections by federal and/or state authorities. The Federal Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, which specifies standards for the sale, shipment, inspection, and rejection of agricultural products, governs our relationships with our fresh produce suppliers with respect to the grading and commercial acceptance of product shipments. We are also subject to regulation by state authorities for the accuracy of our weighing and measuring devices. Additionally, the Surface Transportation Board and the Federal Highway Administration regulate our trucking operations, and interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety requirements prescribed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and other relevant federal and state

13


 

agencies. Our suppliers are also subject to similar regulatory requirements and oversight. We have expanded the product lines of our Specialty segment to include hemp-based CBD products authorized under the 2018 Farm Bill. Sales of certain hemp-based CBD products are prohibited in some jurisdictions and the FDA and certain states and local governments may enact regulations that limit the marketing and use of such products. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, administrative, civil, or criminal penalties or fines; mandatory or voluntary product recalls; warning or untitled letters; cease and desist orders against operations that are not in compliance; closure of facilities or operations; the loss, revocation, or modification of any existing licenses, permits, registrations, or approvals; or the failure to obtain additional licenses, permits, registrations, or approvals in new jurisdictions where we intend to do business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Labor and Workplace Safety: In addition, our operations are subject to various federal, state, provincial, regional and local laws and regulations in many areas of our business, such as, minimum wage, overtime, wage payment, wage and hour and employment discrimination, harassment, immigration, human health and safety and relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air, soil, and water; the management and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and wastes; employee exposure to hazards in the workplace; and the investigation and remediation of contamination resulting from releases of petroleum products and other regulated materials. In the course of our operations, we operate, maintain, and fuel fleet vehicles; store fuel in on-site above and underground storage tanks; operate refrigeration systems; and use and dispose of hazardous substances and food wastes. We could incur substantial costs, including fines or penalties and third-party claims for property damage or personal injury, as a result of any violations of environmental or workplace safety laws and regulations or releases of regulated materials into the environment. In addition, we could incur investigation, remediation, or other costs related to environmental conditions at our currently or formerly owned or operated properties.

Cigarette, Tobacco and Alternative Nicotine Products: Finally, we are subject to and/or impacted by legislation, regulation and other matters regarding the marketing, distribution, sale, taxation and use of cigarette, tobacco and alternative nicotine products. For example, various jurisdictions have adopted or are considering legislation and regulations restricting displays and marketing of tobacco and alternative nicotine products, requiring the disclosure of ingredients used in the manufacture of tobacco and alternative nicotine products, and imposing restrictions on public smoking and vaping. In addition, the FDA has been empowered to regulate changes to nicotine yields and the chemicals and flavors used in tobacco and alternative nicotine products (including cigars, pipe and vapor products), require ingredient listings be displayed on tobacco and alternative nicotine products, prohibit the use of certain terms that may attract youth or mislead users as to the risks involved with using tobacco and alternative nicotine products, as well as limit or otherwise impact the marketing of tobacco and alternative nicotine products by requiring additional labels or warnings that must be pre-approved by the FDA. Such legislation and related regulation are likely to continue to adversely impact the market for tobacco and alternative nicotine products and, accordingly, our sales of such products. Likewise, cigarettes and tobacco products are subject to substantial excise taxes. Significant increases in cigarette-related taxes or fees have been proposed or enacted and are likely to continue to be proposed or enacted by various taxing jurisdictions within the U.S. These tax increases negatively impact consumption and may cause a shift in sales from premium brands to discount brands, illicit channels, or tobacco alternatives, such as e-vapor products, as smokers seek lower priced options. Furthermore, taxing jurisdictions have the ability to change or rescind credit terms currently extended for the remittance of taxes that we collect on their behalf. If these excise taxes are substantially increased, or credit terms are substantially reduced, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Data Privacy: There are new and emerging data privacy laws, as well as frequent updates and changes to existing data privacy laws, in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Given the complexity of these laws and the requirements they place on businesses regarding the collection, storage, handling, use, disclosure, transfer and security of personal data, it is important for us to understand their impact and respond accordingly. Failure to comply with data privacy laws can result in substantial fines or penalties, legal liability and reputational damage. Several U.S. states have enacted (and additional U.S. states are considering enacting) stringent consumer privacy laws, which may impose varying standards and requirements on our data collection, use and processing activities. Continued state by state introduction of privacy laws can be expected to lead to significantly greater complexity in our compliance requirements, which could result in complaints from data subjects or action from regulators. If we do not provide sufficient resources to be able to respond, adapt and implement the necessary requirements to respond to the various forthcoming changes, which could include federal data privacy requirements, our reputation could be adversely impacted and we could face exposure to fines levied by regulators, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Climate change, or the legal, regulatory, or market measures being implemented to address climate change, could have an adverse impact on our business.

The effects of climate change may create financial and operational risks to our business, both directly and indirectly. There is an increased focus around the world by regulatory and legislative bodies at all levels towards policies relating to climate change and the impact of global warming, including the regulation of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, energy usage, and sustainability efforts. Increased compliance costs and expenses due to these policies, as well as additional legal or regulatory requirements regarding climate change, including those designed to reduce or mitigate the effects of carbon dioxide and other GHG emissions on the environment, particularly diesel engine emissions, may cause disruptions in, or an increase in the costs associated with, the running of our business,

14


 

particularly with regard to our distribution and supply chain operations. These costs include an increase in the cost of the fuel and other energy we purchase, and capital costs associated with updating or replacing our vehicles prematurely. Moreover, compliance with any such legal or regulatory requirements may require that we implement changes to our business operations and strategy, which would require us to devote substantial time and attention to these matters and cause us to incur additional costs. We may not be able to accurately predict, prepare for, and respond to new kinds of technological innovations with respect to electric vehicles and other technologies that minimize emissions. Laws related to climate change, including those enacted to try to reduce GHG emissions, could also directly or indirectly affect our suppliers, who could increase the prices of the products that we buy from them to recover the costs they incur related to such laws. The effects of climate change, and legal or regulatory initiatives to address climate change, could have a long-term material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

In addition, from time to time we establish and publicly announce goals and commitments related to corporate social responsibility matters, including those related to reducing our impact on the environment. For example, in 2024, we established goals for the reduction of GHG emissions, which include a target of reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2034 from a 2021 base year. Additionally, in 2025, we established a goal to engage with our suppliers representing 40% of our spend to set Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions targets by 2034 that are in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C emissions reduction goal. Our ability to meet these and other related goals depends in part on significant technological advancements with respect to the development and availability of reliable, affordable, and sustainable alternative solutions, including electric and other alternative fuel vehicles as well as alternative energy sources, which may not be developed or be available to us in the timeframe needed to achieve these goals. Our ability to meet these and other related goals also depends on the climate-related efforts and performance of our suppliers. In addition, we may determine that it is in our best interests to prioritize other business, social, governance, or sustainable investments over the achievement of our current goals based on economic, regulatory or social factors, business strategy, or other factors. If we do not meet our publicly stated goals, then we may experience a negative reaction from the media, stockholders, activists, and other interested stakeholders, and any perception that we have failed to act responsibly regarding climate change, whether or not valid, could result in adverse publicity or legal challenges and negatively affect our business and reputation. While we remain committed to being responsive to climate change and reducing our GHG emissions, there can be no assurance that our goals and strategic plans to achieve those goals will be successful, that the costs incurred will not be higher than expected, that the necessary technological advancements will occur in the timeframe we expect, or at all, or that proposed regulation or deregulation related to climate change will not have a negative competitive impact, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

If the products we distribute are alleged to cause injury or illness or fail to comply with governmental regulations, we may need to recall our products.

The products we distribute may be subject to product recalls, including voluntary recalls or withdrawals, if they are alleged to cause injury or illness (including food-borne illness such as e. coli, bovine spongiform, encephalopathy, hepatitis A, trichinosis, listeria, or salmonella) or if they are alleged to have been mislabeled, misbranded, or adulterated or to otherwise be in violation of governmental regulations. We may also voluntarily recall or withdraw products that we consider not to meet our quality standards, whether for taste, appearance, or otherwise, in order to protect our brand and reputation. If there is any future product withdrawal that results in substantial and unexpected expenditures, destruction of product inventory, damage to our reputation, or lost sales because of the unavailability of the product for a period of time, our business, financial condition, or results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

We may be subject to or affected by product liability claims relating to products we distribute.

We may be exposed to product liability claims in the event that the use of the products we sell is alleged to cause injury or illness. While we believe we have sufficient primary and excess umbrella liability insurance with respect to product liability claims, we cannot assure you that our limits are sufficient to cover all our liabilities. For example, punitive damages may not be covered by insurance. In addition, we may not be able to continue to maintain our existing insurance or obtain replacement insurance on comparable terms, and any replacement insurance or our current insurance may not continue to be available at a reasonable cost, or, if available, may not be adequate to cover all of our liabilities. We generally seek contractual indemnification and insurance coverage from parties supplying products to us, but this indemnification or insurance coverage is limited, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party and the insured limits of any insurance provided by suppliers. If we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification available, the liability relating to defective products could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Adverse judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved in the normal course of our business could reduce our profits or limit our ability to operate our business.

In the normal course of our business, we are involved in various legal proceedings. The outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted. If any of these proceedings were to be determined adversely to us or a settlement involving a payment of a material sum of money were to occur, it could materially adversely affect our profits or ability to operate our business. Additionally, we could become

15


 

the subject of future claims by third parties, including our employees; suppliers, customers, and other counterparties; our investors; or regulators. Any significant adverse judgments or settlements could reduce our profits and could limit our ability to operate our business or adversely affect our reputation. Further, we may incur costs related to claims for which we have appropriate third-party indemnity, but such third parties may fail to fulfill their contractual obligations.

Risks Relating to Human Capital Management

We face risks relating to labor relations, labor costs, and the availability of qualified labor.

As of June 28, 2025, we had approximately [43,000] employees of whom approximately [2,400] were members of local unions associated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters or other unions. Although our labor contract negotiations have in the past generally taken place with the local union representatives, we may be subject to increased efforts to engage us in multi-unit bargaining that could subject us to the risk of multi-location labor disputes or work stoppages that would place us at greater risk of being materially adversely affected by labor disputes. In addition, labor organizing activities could result in additional employees becoming unionized, which could result in higher labor costs. Although we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or work stoppages in recent history, and we believe we have satisfactory relationships with our employees, including those who are union members, increased unionization or a work stoppage because of our inability to renegotiate union contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, potential changes in labor legislation and case law could result in current non-union portions of our workforce, including warehouse and delivery personnel, being subjected to greater organized labor influence. If additional portions of our workforce became subject to collective bargaining agreements, this could result in increased costs of doing business as we would become subject to mandatory, binding arbitration or labor scheduling, elevated labor costs, and standards, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

We are subject to a wide range of labor costs. Because our labor costs are, as a percentage of net sales, higher than in many other industries, we may be significantly harmed by labor cost increases. In addition, labor is a significant cost for many of our customers in the U.S. food-away-from-home industry. Any increase in their labor costs, including any increases in costs as a result of increases in minimum wage requirements, wage inflation or increased overtime payments as a result of labor shortages, work slowdowns, work interruptions, strikes, or other job actions by employees of customers could reduce the profitability of our customers and reduce demand for our products.

We rely heavily on our employees, particularly warehouse workers and drivers, and any significant shortage of qualified labor could significantly affect our business. Our recruiting and retention efforts and efforts to increase productivity may not be successful, and we could encounter a shortage of qualified labor in future periods. Any such shortage would decrease our ability to serve our customers effectively. Such a shortage could also likely lead to higher wages for employees and a corresponding reduction in our profitability. Any prolonged labor shortage or period of high employee turnover could have an adverse impact on our productivity and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, we continue to assess our healthcare benefit costs. Despite our efforts to control costs while still providing competitive healthcare benefits to our associates, significant increases in healthcare costs continue to occur, and we can provide no assurance that our cost containment efforts in this area will be effective. Our suppliers also may be affected by higher minimum wage and benefit standards, wage inflation or increased overtime payments as a result of labor shortages, work slowdowns, work interruptions, strikes, or other actions by their employees, which could result in higher costs for goods and services supplied to us. If we are unable to raise our prices or cut other costs to cover this expense, such increases in expenses could materially reduce our operating profit.

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness

Our future financial and operating flexibility could be adversely affected by our level of indebtedness.

As of June 28, 2025, we had $6,990.6 million of indebtedness, including finance lease obligations. In addition, we had $2,473.6 million of availability under the ABL Facility (as defined below under “—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities” in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K) after giving effect to $171.4 million of outstanding letters of credit and $106.0 million of lenders’ reserves under the ABL Facility.

Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences for us, including:

requiring us to utilize a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to make payments on our indebtedness, reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development activity, share repurchases and other general corporate purposes;
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry, or competitive developments;
exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates to the extent our borrowings are at variable rates of interest or our interest rate hedges are ineffective;

16


 

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an event of default under the agreements governing our indebtedness;
restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, debt service requirements, acquisitions, and general corporate or other purposes; and
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who may be less leveraged and who, therefore, may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting.

A substantial portion of our indebtedness is floating rate debt. As interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on such indebtedness increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease.

We may elect to enter into interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to floating interest rates as described below under “—We utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on our variable rate indebtedness and we are be exposed to risks related to counterparty creditworthiness or non-performance of these instruments.” However, we may not maintain interest rate swaps with respect to all of our variable rate indebtedness, and any swaps we enter into may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk.

Our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness depends on many factors, some of which are not within our control.

Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. To a certain extent, this ability is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt, we may need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, sell material assets or operations, or raise additional debt or equity capital. We may not be able to affect any of these actions on a timely basis, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and these actions may not be sufficient to meet our debt service requirements. In addition, any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at a higher interest rate, and the terms of our existing or future debt arrangements may restrict us from effecting any of these alternatives. Our failure to make the required interest and principal payments on our indebtedness would result in an event of default under the agreement governing such indebtedness, which may result in the acceleration of some or all of our outstanding indebtedness.

Despite our level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may still incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our level of indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the agreements governing our indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial.

The agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

The agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:

incur, assume, or permit to exist additional indebtedness or guarantees;
incur liens;
make investments and loans;
pay dividends, make payments, or redeem or repurchase capital stock;
engage in mergers, liquidations, dissolutions, asset sales, and other dispositions (including sale leaseback transactions);
amend or otherwise alter terms of certain indebtedness;
enter into agreements limiting subsidiary distributions or containing negative pledge clauses;
engage in certain transactions with affiliates;

17


 

alter the business that we conduct;
change our fiscal year; and
engage in any activities other than permitted activities.

As a result of these restrictions, we are limited as to how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders or amend the covenants.

A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under one or more of these agreements, including as a result of cross default provisions, and, in the case of our ABL Facility, amounts due may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders may be exercised, including rights with respect to the collateral securing the obligations.

We utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on our variable rate indebtedness, and we are exposed to risks related to counterparty credit worthiness or non-performance of these instruments.

We enter into pay-fixed interest rate swaps to limit our exposure to changes in variable interest rates. Such instruments may result in economic losses should interest rates decline to a point lower than our fixed rate commitments. We are also exposed to credit-related losses, which could affect the results of operations in the event of fluctuations in the fair value of the interest rate swaps due to a change in the credit worthiness or non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swaps.

Risks Relating to the Cheney Brothers Acquisition

We may be unable to effectively and efficiently execute our integration plan, and the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Cheney Brothers Acquisition may not be realized or may not be realized within the expected timeframe.

Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Cheney Brothers Acquisition is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether Cheney Brothers, can be integrated with our business in an efficient and effective manner. If we are unable to achieve our integration objectives within the anticipated timeframe, or at all, the expected benefits, including synergies, cost savings and operational efficiencies, may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected and the value of our common stock may be adversely affected. Additionally, as a result of the Cheney Brothers Acquisition, rating agencies may take negative actions against our credit ratings, which may increase our financing costs, including in connection with the financing of the Cheney Brothers Acquisition.

The integration of Cheney Brothers with our existing business will be a complex, costly and time-consuming process that may involve material challenges, including, without limitation:

unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications and other systems;
maintaining employee morale and attracting, motivating and retaining management personnel and other key employees;
the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process;
consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations;
coordinating geographically separate organizations;
unanticipated changes in federal or state laws or regulations; and
unforeseen expenses or delays.

Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, as well as our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Cheney Brothers Acquisition.

Risk Management and Strategy

We rely upon information technology networks and systems to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to manage or support virtually all of our business processes and activities. We also use mobile devices, social networking, and other online activities to connect with our employees, suppliers, business partners, and customers. Accordingly, we maintain a comprehensive Information Security Program, anchored in a multi-tiered, defense-in-depth strategy designed to identify and mitigate risks from cybersecurity threats. We believe that our Information Security Program aligns with industry frameworks and assesses security trends, and facilitates identification and reduction of vulnerabilities. Our cybersecurity strategy considers existing risks to our company and those that we are likely to encounter based on our industry, company profile, and business objectives. Consideration of risks from cybersecurity threats is a key component of our overall enterprise risk management strategy.

We have implemented a risk management program to identify and track information risks, including cybersecurity threats, from many different sources, including third parties, technology projects, acquisitions, risk assessments, technical assessments, and internal/external audits, and assess them based on severity. Our annual information technology general control testing, which is conducted in connection with our internal control over financial reporting review process, and periodic reviews of risks and controls related to cybersecurity threats that may impact financial reporting control objectives also serve to identify and track information risks. Additionally, we partner with independent third-party service providers to regularly perform cybersecurity assessments, such as network and application penetration testing.

To emphasize the importance of cybersecurity awareness, advise of cybersecurity threats, and provide examples of how to mitigate such threats in their use of PFG systems, we also maintain an information security training program that combines several forms of training, including routine phishing exercises, across our workforce.

We acknowledge the potential cybersecurity risks inherent in our relationships with third parties. Accordingly, PFG has implemented a third-party risk management program to identify and oversee such risks. Our third-party risk assessment framework evaluates the cybersecurity practices and controls of third parties. Activities undertaken in relation to third parties may include due diligence inquiries, reviewing security policies and program capabilities, reviewing security certifications and results of independent audits. Review and establishment of contractual requirements is performed in accordance with the level of risk presented by a third party.

We maintain a regularly revised Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan and Cybersecurity Incident Notification Policy, which provide protocols for evaluating and responding to cybersecurity incidents, including escalation of information to senior leadership, including the Board of Directors, as appropriate, and meeting external reporting obligations. We periodically perform tabletop exercises where we perform walkthroughs of cybersecurity incident situations to test our response plans. To date, we have not experienced any cybersecurity incidents that materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, but future incidents cannot be predicted. See “Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors” for additional information regarding cybersecurity-related risks that could impact our business.

Governance

Our Board of Directors executes its cybersecurity risk oversight function as a whole and by delegating responsibility to the Technology and Cybersecurity Committee of our Board of Directors, which oversees our management of risks relating to information technology security and our cybersecurity policies, controls and procedures. The Audit and Finance Committee of our Board of Directors oversees our enterprise risk management program as a whole and risk management regarding major financial risk exposure, including the potential financial impact of cybersecurity incidents. The Technology and Cybersecurity Committee receives quarterly presentations and reports on cybersecurity and information security risks from management, including our Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) and Vice President, Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”). These presentations and reports address a broad range of topics, including progress of security initiatives, strategy, key performance indicators, cybersecurity risks, and notable cybersecurity incidents. In addition, the Technology and Cybersecurity Committee and the Board of Directors receive briefings from time to time from outside experts for an independent view on cybersecurity risks and emerging cybersecurity threats, including best practices and current trends in cybersecurity.

Our CIO’s experience includes over 25 years of experience in information technology leadership roles, including ProBuild Holdings, the nation’s largest supplier of building materials; Gates Corporation, a manufacturer/distributor of automotive parts; and Nupremis Inc., a start-up that provided hosting and managed services. We also have a dedicated CISO, whose team is responsible for management of PFG’s Information Security Program, policies, compliance with internal/external mandates, strategy, security incident planning and response. Our CISO reports to our CIO and has more than 20 years of cybersecurity, technology assurance and controls experience, including 18 years as a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and 13 years at PFG in information security and compliance. Our CISO joined PFG following several years of experience working in information security consulting, including Big 4 Accounting and Assurance, as well as working in industries including banking and finance.

Our Foodservice “broad-line” customers are generally located no more than 200 miles from one of our distribution facilities, and national chain customers are generally located no more than 450 miles from one of our distribution facilities. Of the 89 Foodservice distribution centers, 11 have meat cutting operations that provide custom-cut meat products and two have seafood processing operations that provide custom-cut and packed seafood to our customers and our other distribution centers. The Convenience segment operates two additional facilities as a third-party logistics provider dedicated solely to supporting the logistics and management requirements of one of our customers. These distribution facilities are located in Arizona and Texas.

20


 

Customer orders are typically assembled in our distribution facilities and then sorted, placed on pallets, and loaded onto trucks and trailers in delivery sequence. Deliveries are generally made in large tractor-trailers that we usually lease. We use integrated computer systems to design and track efficient route sequences for the delivery of our products.

Our properties also include a combined headquarters facility for our corporate offices and the Foodservice segment that is located in Richmond, Virginia; a combined support service center and headquarters facility for Specialty that is located in Englewood, Colorado; a headquarters facility for Convenience located in Westlake, Texas; locations to support other segment operations; and other support service centers and corporate offices located in North America.

We are a party to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

While it is impossible to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of any of these proceedings, lawsuits, and claims, management believes that adequate provisions have been made or insurance secured for all currently pending proceedings so that the ultimate outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 for disclosure of ongoing litigation.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market and Price Range of Common Stock

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PFGC.”

Approximate Number of Common Shareholders

At the close of business on August 6, 2025, there were approximately 1,260 holders of record of our shares of common stock. This stockholder figure does not include a substantially greater number of holders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers and other financial institutions.

Dividends

We have no current plans to pay dividends on our common stock. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by the covenants in the agreements governing our existing indebtedness and may be further limited by the agreements governing other indebtedness we or our subsidiaries may incur in the future. See Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. Because we are a holding company, and have no direct operations, we will only be able to pay dividends from funds we receive from our subsidiaries.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (“Item 8”) of this Form 10-K. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should carefully read “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-K.

The following includes a comparison of our consolidated results of operations, our segment results and financial position for fiscal years 2025 and 2024. For a comparison of our consolidated results of operations, segment results and financial position for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, see Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2024, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024, which remains materially consistent with the recast prior period results disclosed herein reflecting the updates made to our reportable segments in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 discussed below.

Our Company

We market and distribute over 250,000 food and food-related products to customers across the United States from approximately 155 distribution facilities to over 300,000 customer locations in the food-away-from-home industry. We offer our customers a broad assortment of products including our proprietary-branded products, nationally branded products, and products bearing our customers’ brands. Our product assortment ranges from “center-of-the-plate” items (such as beef, pork, poultry, and seafood), frozen foods, and groceries to candy, snacks, and beverages. We also sell disposables, cleaning and kitchen supplies, and related products used by our customers, as well as cigarettes and other nicotine products. In addition to the products we offer to our customers, we provide value-added services by allowing our customers to benefit from our industry knowledge, scale, and expertise in the areas of product selection and procurement, menu development, and operational strategy.

Based on the Company’s organizational structure and how the Company’s management reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, the Company has three reportable segments: Foodservice, Convenience, and Specialty. Our Foodservice segment distributes a broad line of national brands, customer brands, and our proprietary-branded food and food-related products, or “Performance Brands.” Foodservice sells to independent and multi-unit chain restaurants and other institutions such as schools, healthcare facilities, business and industry locations, and retail establishments. Our chain customers are multi-unit restaurants with five or more locations and include some of the most recognizable family and casual dining restaurant chains. Our Convenience segment distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other nicotine products, food and foodservice related products and other items to convenience stores across North America. Our Specialty segment distributes candy, snacks, beverages, and other food items nationally to vending, office coffee service, theater, retail, and other channels and utilizes third-party carriers to deliver direct to consumers for our supplier partners and to our customers whose order sizes are too small to be served effectively by our truck network. We believe our diverse segments provide substantial opportunities for cross-segment collaboration to better serve our customers, including business development, procurement, operational best practices such as the use of new productivity technologies, and supply chain and network optimization, as well as shared corporate functions such as accounting, treasury, tax, legal, information systems, and human resources.

On October 8, 2024, the Company acquired Cheney Bros., Inc. (“Cheney Brothers”), expanding our Foodservice operations in the Southeastern portion of the United States. Refer to Note 4. Business Combinations within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 for additional details regarding the acquisition of Cheney Brothers.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to June 30th. This resulted in a 52-week year for fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023. References to “fiscal 2025” are to the 52-week period ended June 28, 2025, references to “fiscal 2024” are to the 52-week period ended June 29, 2024, and references to “fiscal 2023” are to the 52-week period ended July 1, 2023.

Key Factors Affecting Our Business

Our business, our industry and the economy are influenced by a number of general macroeconomic factors, including, but not limited to, reduced demand for our products related to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions triggered by developments beyond our control, including geopolitical dynamics and other events that trigger economic volatility or negatively affect consumer confidence and discretionary spending. We continue to actively monitor the impacts of the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape, including rapidly evolving tariff and global trade policies, on all aspects of our business. The Company and our industry may face challenges related to uncertain economic conditions and heightened uncertainty in the financial markets, inflationary pressure, an uncertain political environment, supply chain disruptions, and lower disposable incomes due to macroeconomic conditions. Although rapidly evolving tariff and global trade policies caused increased uncertainty in the second half of fiscal 2025, we saw little impact to our results in fiscal 2025. However, the extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting future impact on general economic conditions and our future financial position, liquidity, and results of operations remains uncertain. Sustained macroeconomic

24


 

challenges, whether due to tariffs or otherwise, could negatively affect consumer discretionary spending decisions within our customers’ establishments, which could negatively impact our sales and profitability.

We believe that our performance is principally affected by the following key factors:

Changing demographic and macroeconomic trends. Excluding the peak years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the share of consumer spending captured by the food-away-from-home industry has increased steadily for several decades. The share increases in periods of increasing employment, rising disposable income, increases in the number of restaurants, and favorable demographic trends, such as smaller household sizes, an increasing number of dual income households, and an aging population base that spends more per capita at foodservice establishments and is adversely impacted when these factors move in the opposite direction. The foodservice distribution industry is also sensitive to national and regional economic conditions, such as changes in consumer spending, changes in consumer confidence, changes in the rate of inflation and fuel prices, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages.
Food distribution market structure. The food distribution market consists of a wide spectrum of companies ranging from businesses selling a single category of product (e.g., produce) to large national and regional broadline distributors with many distribution centers and thousands of products across all categories. We believe our scale enables us to invest in our Performance Brands, to benefit from economies of scale in purchasing and procurement, and to drive supply chain efficiencies that enhance our customers’ satisfaction and profitability. We believe that the relative growth of larger foodservice distributors will continue to outpace that of smaller, independent players in our industry.
Our ability to successfully execute our segment strategies and implement our initiatives. Our performance will continue to depend on our ability to successfully execute our segment strategies and to implement our current and future initiatives. The key strategies include focusing on independent sales and Performance Brands, pursuing new customers for our three reportable segments, expansion of geographies, utilizing our infrastructure to gain further operating and purchasing efficiencies, and making strategic acquisitions.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key measures used by our management are discussed below. The percentages on the results presented below are calculated based on rounded numbers.

Case Growth

Case volume represents the volume of products sold to customers during a given period of time. Case growth is calculated by dividing the increase (decrease) in the case volumes sold year-over-year by the number of cases sold in the prior year. We define a case as the lowest level of packaged products as received from our suppliers, with one case containing several individually packaged units of the same product. Where individual packaged units are sold separately, case volume is calculated using the case equivalent quantity sold. Case growth provides useful information to management and investors in evaluating sales performance and as an indicator of gross margin performance. In our assessment of sales performance, management utilizes total case growth, as well as organic case growth, which excludes acquisition-related growth until the acquired business has been reflected in our results of operations for at least 12 months. While overall case growth reflects a key component of sales growth, case growth by customer type provides additional context around gross profit performance. Management also reviews case volume growth by customer type, with distinction between Foodservice independent and chain customers, as this provides a measure of gross profit performance due to the pricing strategies and product mix differences associated with each customer type.

Net Sales

Net sales is equal to gross sales, plus excise taxes, minus sales returns; minus sales incentives that we offer to our customers, such as rebates and discounts that are offsets to gross sales; and certain other adjustments. Our net sales are driven by changes in case volumes, product inflation that is reflected in the pricing of our products, mix of products sold, and acquisitions.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to our net sales minus our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold primarily includes inventory costs (net of supplier consideration) and inbound freight. Cost of goods sold generally changes as we incur higher or lower costs from our suppliers and as our customer and product mix changes.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management measures operating performance based on our Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income and franchise taxes, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain items that we do

25


 

not consider part of our core operating results. Such adjustments include certain unusual, non-cash, non-recurring, cost reduction, or other adjustment items permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our ABL Facility and indentures (other than certain pro forma adjustments permitted under our ABL Facility and indentures governing the Notes due 2027, Notes due 2029, and Notes due 2032 relating to the Adjusted EBITDA contribution of acquired entities or businesses prior to the acquisition date). Under our ABL Facility and indentures, our ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments, and making restricted payments is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the ABL Facility and indentures). Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with , or required by, GAAP and is subject to important limitations. We use this measure to evaluate the performance of our business on a consistent basis over time and for business planning purposes. In addition, targets based on Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures we use to evaluate our management’s performance for purposes of determining their compensation under our incentive plans. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties, including our lenders under the ABL Facility and holders of our Notes due 2027, Notes due 2029, and Notes due 2032, in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours.

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;
does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service our debt.

In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we add back certain non-cash, non-recurring, and other items as permitted or required by our ABL Facility and indentures. Adjusted EBITDA among other things:

does not include non-cash stock-based employee compensation expense and certain other non-cash charges;
does not include acquisition, restructuring, and other costs incurred to realize future cost savings and enhance our operations; and
does not include items outside of the ordinary course of the Company's operations and not indicative of ongoing performance.

We have included below reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Fiscal year ended June 28, 2025 compared to fiscal year ended June 29, 2024

Net Sales

Net sales growth is primarily a function of acquisitions, case growth, pricing, including product inflation/deflation, and a changing mix of customers, channels, and product categories sold. Net sales increased $5.0 billion, or 8.6%, in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024.

The increase in net sales was driven by recent acquisitions, including the Cheney Brothers Acquisition, an increase in cases sold, including a favorable shift in mix of cases sold, and an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation. Total case volume increased 8.5% during fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. Total organic case volume increased 2.1% in fiscal 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year. Total organic case volume benefited from a 4.6% increase in organic independent cases sold during fiscal 2025, including growth in Performance Brands cases and growth in cases sold to Foodservice's chain business. The overall rate of product cost inflation was approximately 4.7% for fiscal 2025.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $839.5 million, or 12.8%, in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by recent acquisitions, including the Cheney Brothers Acquisition, cost of goods sold optimization through procurement efficiencies, as well as a favorable shift in the mix of cases sold, including growth in the independent channel. Independent customers typically receive more services from us, cost more to serve, and pay a higher gross profit per case than other customers.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $849.6 million, or 14.8%, for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by recent acquisitions, including the Cheney Brothers Acquisition, a $191.4 million increase in personnel expenses primarily related to wages and salaries, commissions, and benefits, a $53.5 million increase in depreciation expense mainly driven by an increase in transportation equipment under finance leases, a $34.3 million increase in professional fees and outside services primarily related to recent acquisitions, and a $28.0 million increase in insurance expense primarily related to workers’ compensation and vehicle liability compared to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a $31.9 million decrease in fuel expenses primarily due to lower fuel prices for fiscal 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year.

Net Income

Net income decreased $95.7 million, or 22.0%, for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 driven by an increase in depreciation and amortization and interest expense primarily related to recent acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense and gross profit contributions from recent acquisitions. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in the average borrowings, including finance lease obligations, during fiscal 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year.

The Company reported income tax expense of $118.6 million for fiscal 2025 compared to $160.9 million for fiscal 2024. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 was 25.8% compared to 27.0% for the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate differed from the prior year primarily due to an increase in benefit from stock-based compensation and an increase in income tax credits net of valuation allowance established, partially offset by an increase in non-deductible expenses and an increase in state taxes as a percentage of income.

Segment Results

In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company updated its operating segments to reflect the manner in which the business is managed. The Company continues to have three reportable segments: Foodservice, Convenience, and Specialty (formerly Vistar). Management evaluates the performance of these segments based on various operating and financial metrics, including their respective sales growth, and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is the Company’s GAAP measure of segment profit. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excludes certain items that the Company does not consider part of its segments’ core operating results, including stock-based compensation expense, changes in the LIFO reserve, acquisition, integration and reorganization expenses, and gains and losses related to fuel derivatives. The presentation and amounts for the fiscal years ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 have been recast to reflect these segment changes. See Note 19. Segment Information of the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K.

Corporate & All Other is comprised of unallocated corporate overhead and certain operations that are not considered separate reportable segments based on their size.

The increase in net sales was driven primarily by growth in the vending channel and an acquisition in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Total organic case volume growth for Specialty for fiscal 2025 was 1.4%, as growth in the vending, office coffee service, and value channels was partially offset by declines in theater cases sold compared to the prior fiscal year.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for Specialty increased $7.6 million, or 2.2%, from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2025 as a result of an increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Gross profit contributing to Specialty’s Adjusted EBITDA increased $32.6 million, or 3.8%, in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, primarily driven by an acquisition in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, procurement-related cost improvements, and inventory holding gains. Operating expenses impacting Specialty’s Adjusted EBITDA increased $25.4 million, or 5.0%, for fiscal 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year primarily driven by $18.1 million of expenses related to an acquisition in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, $4.7 million in variable operational expenses as a result of a shift in channel mix, and a $4.4 million increase in occupancy costs primarily associated with building expansions, partially offset by a $3.3 million reduction in lease expense as the segment has transitioned to finance leases for fleet equipment and a $2.9 million decrease in fuel expense compared to the prior fiscal year.

Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets recorded in this segment increased from $49.9 million in fiscal 2024 to $54.6 million in fiscal 2025 due primarily to an acquisition in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations and growth primarily with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our ABL Facility, operating and finance leases, and normal trade credit terms. We have typically funded our acquisitions with additional borrowings under our ABL Facility or with the net proceeds from the issuances of senior notes. Our borrowing levels are subject to seasonal fluctuations, as well as procurement and acquisition activities. We borrow under our credit facility or pay it down regularly based on our cash flows from operating and investing activities. Our practice is to minimize interest expense while maintaining reasonable liquidity.

As market conditions warrant, we may from time to time seek to repurchase our securities or loans in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Any such repurchases may be funded by incurring new debt, including additional borrowings under our ABL Facility. In addition, depending on conditions in the credit and capital markets and other factors,

30


 

we will, from time to time, consider other financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance our indebtedness, make investments or acquisitions or for other purposes. Any new debt may be secured debt.

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to changes in interest rates for borrowings under our ABL Facility. To add stability to interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate movements, we enter into interest rate swap agreements. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments. As of June 28, 2025, $150.0 million of the outstanding ABL Facility balance is currently hedged under interest rate swaps, which results in 68% of our total debt outstanding, including finance lease obligations, being fixed-rate debt.

In November 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $300 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Under this share repurchase program, during the fiscal year ended June 28, 2025, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 0.8 million shares of common stock, for a total cost of $57.6 million or an average cost of $75.53 per share. During the fiscal year ended June 29, 2024, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 1.3 million shares of common stock, for a total cost of $78.1 million or an average cost of $58.83 per share. During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2023, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 0.2 million shares of common stock, for a total cost of $11.2 million or an average cost of $56.06 per share.

On May 27, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program for up to $500 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. This authorization replaces the previously authorized $300 million share repurchase program. The new share repurchase program has an expiration date of May 27, 2029. Repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at management’s discretion from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The share repurchase program may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Board’s discretion, and does not commit the Company to repurchase any specified number of shares of its common stock. The actual timing, number and value of the shares to be purchased under the program will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the performance of the Company’s stock price, general market and other conditions, applicable legal requirements and compliance with the terms of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. As of June 28, 2025, $500 million remained available for additional share repurchases under the program.

Our contractual cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond relate to our long-term debt and associated interest payments, operating and finance leases, and purchase obligations. For information regarding the Company’s expected cash requirements related to long-term debt and operating and finance leases, see Note 8. Debt and Note 12. Leases, respectively, within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. As of June 28, 2025, the Company had total purchase obligations of $276.8 million, which includes agreements for purchases related to capital projects and services in the normal course of business, for which all significant terms have been confirmed, as well as a minimum amount due for various Company meetings and conferences. Purchase obligations also include amounts committed to various capital projects in process or scheduled to be completed in the coming fiscal years. Included in the total purchase obligations above are commitments of $170.9 million for capital projects related to warehouse expansion and improvements and warehouse equipment. The Company anticipates using cash flows from operations or borrowings under the ABL Facility to fulfill these commitments. Amounts due under these agreements were not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2025.

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

We believe that our cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond, to maintain sufficient liquidity for normal operating purposes, and to fund capital expenditures.

At June 28, 2025, our cash balance totaled $86.7 million, including restricted cash of $8.2 million, as compared to a cash balance totaling $27.7 million, including restricted cash of $7.7 million, at June 29, 2024.

Operating Activities

Fiscal year ended June 28, 2025 compared to fiscal year ended June 29, 2024

During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, our operating activities provided cash flow of $1,210.1 million and $1,163.0 million, respectively. The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 was largely driven by higher cash-based operating income, partially offset by changes in the timing of advanced purchases of inventory.

Investing Activities

Fiscal year ended June 28, 2025 compared to fiscal year ended June 29, 2024

Cash used in investing activities totaled $3,089.0 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $682.7 million in fiscal 2024. These investments consisted primarily of net cash paid for recent acquisitions of $2,596.4 million and $307.7 million for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively, along with capital purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $506.0 million and $395.6 million for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. In fiscal 2025, purchases of property, plant, and equipment primarily consisted of outlays for warehouse improvements and expansions, warehouse equipment, transportation equipment, and information technology. The following table presents the capital purchases of property, plant, and equipment by segment.

Financing Activities

During fiscal 2025, our financing activities provided cash flow of $1,937.9 million, which consisted primarily of $1,194.2 million in net borrowings under our ABL Facility and $1.0 billion in cash received from the issuance and sales of the Notes due 2032, partially offset by $188.0 million in payments under finance lease obligations and $57.6 million in repurchases of common stock.

During fiscal 2024, our financing activities used cash flow of $472.6 million, which consisted primarily of $275.0 million in cash used for the repayment of the Notes due 2025, $122.2 million in payments under finance lease obligations, and $78.1 million in repurchases of common stock.

The Company's financing arrangements as of June 28, 2025 are described in Note 8. Debt within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. As of June 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the ABL Facility and the indentures governing the Notes due 2027, the Notes due 2029, and the Notes due 2032.

Total Assets by Segment

Total assets by segment discussed below exclude intercompany receivables between segments.

Total assets for Foodservice increased $4,218.7 million from $7,052.4 million as of June 29, 2024 to $11,271.1 million as of June 28, 2025, primarily due to recent acquisitions within the segment as well as an increase in property, plant, and equipment under finance leases.

Total assets for Convenience increased $195.9 million from $4,080.9 million as of June 29, 2024 to $4,276.8 million as of June 28, 2025. During this time period, the segment increased its inventory due to advanced purchases to take advantage of preferred pricing, as well as a recent acquisition, increased its property, plant, and equipment through additional transportation equipment under finance leases, and increased its cash and accounts receivable. The increases in assets year-over-year were partially offset by a decrease in intangible assets due to normal amortization and a decrease in prepaid expenses related to cigarette inventory.

Total assets for Specialty increased $67.8 million from $1,519.1 million as of June 29, 2024 to $1,586.9 million as of June 28, 2025. During this time period, the segment increased its inventory due to advanced purchases to take advantage of preferred pricing, increased its accounts receivable, and increased its property, plant, and equipment through additional transportation equipment under finance leases. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in intangible assets due to normal amortization.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are most important to portraying our financial position and results of operations. These policies require our most subjective or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates include those that pertain to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory valuation, insurance programs, income taxes, vendor rebates and promotional incentives, and acquisitions, goodwill and other intangible assets.

32


 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are comprised of trade receivables from customers in the ordinary course of business, are recorded at the invoiced amount, adjusted for any discounts granted to customers, and primarily do not bear interest. Accounts receivable also includes other receivables primarily related to various rebate and promotional incentives with our suppliers. Receivables are recorded net of the allowance for credit losses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. We regularly analyze our significant customer accounts, and when we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount we reasonably believe is collectible. We also record reserves for bad debt for other customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, macroeconomic considerations, and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.

Inventory Valuation

Our inventories consist primarily of food and non-food products. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, weighted average cost method, and last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. For its LIFO based inventory, the Company utilizes the link chain technique of the dollar value method. FIFO was used for approximately 55.6%, LIFO was used for approximately 38.2%, and weighted average costing was used for approximately 6.2% of total inventories at June 28, 2025. We adjust our inventory balances for slow-moving, excess, and obsolete inventories. These adjustments are based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items, and overall economic conditions.

Insurance Programs

We maintain high-deductible insurance programs covering portions of general and vehicle liability and workers’ compensation. The amounts in excess of self-insured levels are fully insured by third-party insurance carriers, subject to certain limitations and exclusions. We also maintain self-funded group medical insurance. We accrue our estimated liability for these deductibles, including an estimate, calculated with the assistance of third party actuaries, for incurred but not reported claims, based on known claims and past claims history. The estimated short-term portion of these accruals is included in Accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets, while the estimated long-term portion of the accruals is included in Other long-term liabilities. The provisions for insurance claims include estimates of the frequency and timing of claims occurrence, as well as the ultimate amounts to be paid. These insurance programs are managed by a third party, and the deductibles for general and vehicle liability and workers compensation are primarily collateralized by letters of credit, restricted cash, and cash held by the insurance carrier that offsets the insurance accruals.

Income Taxes

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, Income Taxes—Overall, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The Company takes current and future expirations into consideration when evaluating the need for valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Future tax benefits, including net operating loss carryforwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction of income tax expense. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law, and expirations of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the tax provision as appropriate. Income tax calculations are based on the tax laws enacted as of the date of the financial statements.

Vendor Rebates and Other Promotional Incentives

We participate in various rebate and promotional incentives with our suppliers, either unilaterally or in combination with purchasing cooperatives and other procurement partners, that consist primarily of volume and growth rebates, annual and multi-year incentives, and promotional programs. Consideration received under these incentives is generally recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. However, as described below, in certain limited circumstances the consideration is recorded as a reduction of operating expenses incurred by us. Consideration received may be in the form of cash and/or invoice deductions. Changes in the estimated amount of incentives to be received are treated as changes in estimates and are recognized in the period of change.

Consideration received for incentives that contain volume and growth rebates, annual incentives, and multi-year incentives are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. We rationally allocate the consideration for these incentives to each underlying transaction that results in progress by the Company toward earning the incentives. If the incentives are not probable and reasonably estimable, we record the incentives as the underlying objectives or milestones are achieved. We record annual and multi-year

33


 

incentives when earned, generally over the agreement period. We use current and historical purchasing data, forecasted purchasing volumes, and other factors in estimating whether the underlying objectives or milestones will be achieved. Consideration received to promote and sell the supplier’s products is typically a reimbursement of marketing costs incurred by the Company and is recorded as a reduction of our operating expenses. If the amount of consideration received from the suppliers exceeds our marketing costs, any excess is recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets

We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. Our financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts specifically assigned to those tangible net assets acquired in a business combination. Other identifiable intangible assets typically include customer relationships, trade names, technology, non-compete agreements, and favorable lease assets. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangibles with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which generally range from two to twelve years. Annually, or when certain triggering events occur, the Company assesses the useful lives of its intangibles with definite lives. The gross cost and accumulated amortization of intangible assets are removed when the recorded amounts are fully amortized and the asset is no longer in use or the contract has expired. Amortization expense is recognized in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Certain assumptions, estimates, and judgments are used in determining the fair value of net assets acquired, including goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as determining the allocation of goodwill to the reporting units. Accordingly, we may obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists for the valuation of significant tangible and intangible assets. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but that are inherently uncertain. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), economic barriers to entry, a brand’s relative market position, and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.

We are required to test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually or more often if circumstances indicate. Indicators of goodwill impairment include, but are not limited to, significant declines in the markets, industries, and customers that buy our products, changes in the estimated future cash flows of its reporting units, changes in capital markets, and changes in its market capitalization.

We perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “step zero”) to determine whether further quantitative analysis for impairment of goodwill is necessary. In performing step zero for our goodwill impairment test, we are required to make assumptions and judgments, including but not limited to: the evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as related to our business, industry and market trends, and the overall future financial performance of our reporting units and future opportunities in the markets in which they operate. If impairment indicators are present after performing step zero, we would perform a quantitative impairment analysis to estimate the fair value of goodwill.

During fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, we performed the step zero analysis for our goodwill impairment test and no further quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary for our reporting units within our reportable segments. Based on our assessment, there were no impairments recorded in fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024. There was an immaterial impairment of goodwill related to reporting units within the Corporate & All Other segment for fiscal 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption and expected effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

All of our market sensitive instruments are entered into for purposes other than trading. Our market risks consist of interest rate risk and fuel price risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to changes in interest rates for borrowings under our ABL Facility. Although we hedge a portion of our interest rate risk through interest rate swaps, any borrowings under our ABL Facility in excess of the notional amount of the swaps will be subject to variable interest rates.

34


 

As of June 28, 2025, our subsidiary, Performance Food Group, Inc., had two interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $150.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. See Note 9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 for further discussion of these interest rate swaps.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations as hedged interest payments are made on our debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that gains of approximately $0.8 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

Based on the fair values of these interest rate swaps as of June 28, 2025, a hypothetical 100 bps decrease in SOFR would result in a loss of $3.4 million and a hypothetical 100 bps increase in SOFR would result in a gain of $3.3 million within accumulated other comprehensive income.

Assuming an average daily balance on our ABL Facility of approximately $2.4 billion, approximately $150.0 million of our outstanding long-term debt is fixed through interest rate swap agreements over the next 12 months and approximately $2.2 billion represents variable-rate debt. A hypothetical 100 bps increase in SOFR on our variable-rate debt would lead to an increase of approximately $22.1 million in annual interest expense.

Fuel Price Risk

We seek to minimize the effect of higher diesel fuel costs both by reducing fuel usage and by taking action to offset higher fuel prices. We reduce usage by designing more efficient truck routes and by increasing miles per gallon through on-board computers that monitor and adjust idling time and maximum speeds and through other technologies. We seek to manage fuel prices through diesel fuel surcharges to our customers and through the use of costless collars or swap arrangements.

As of June 28, 2025, we had collars in place for approximately 15% of the gallons we expect to use over the twelve months following June 28, 2025. Any changes in fair value are recorded in the period of the change as unrealized gains or losses on fuel hedging instruments within other, net on the consolidated statements of operations. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in expected diesel fuel prices would result in an immaterial gain or loss for these derivative instruments.

Our fuel purchases occur at market prices. Using published market price projections for diesel and estimates of fuel consumption, a 10% hypothetical increase in diesel prices from the market price would result in a potential increase of approximately $26.3 million in fuel costs included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. As discussed above, this increase in fuel costs would be partially offset by fuel surcharges passed through to our customers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Performance Food Group Company

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 28, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 28, 2025, of the Company and our report dated August 13, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

As described in Management's Annual report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Cheney Brothers, which was acquired on October 8, 2024, and whose financial statements constitute 15% of total assets, 4% of net sales, and (3.3)% of net income of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 28, 2025. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Cheney Brothers.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Performance Food Group Company

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the period ended June 28, 2025, June 29, 2024, and July 1, 2023, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 8 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the fiscal years ended June 28, 2025, June 29, 2024, and July 1, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 13, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Vendor Rebates and Other Promotional Incentives – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company receives various rebate and promotional incentives from its suppliers, which include volume and growth rebates, annual and multi-year incentives, and promotional programs. Consideration received for incentives that contain volume and growth rebates and annual and multi-year incentives are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The Company systematically and rationally allocates the consideration for these incentives to each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by the Company towards earning the incentives. If the incentives are not probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records the incentives as the underlying objectives or milestones are achieved. The Company records annual and multi-year incentives when earned, generally over the agreement period as stipulated in individual contracts. The Company uses current and historical purchasing data, forecasted purchasing volumes, and other factors in estimating whether the underlying objectives or milestones will be achieved.

Auditing vendor rebates and other promotional incentives involved especially challenging judgment due to the volume of individual transactions, complexities in complying with the terms of the vendor agreements and the estimates involved, which increased the extent of audit effort required.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to vendor rebates and other promotional incentives included the following, among others:

We tested the effectiveness of the controls over vendor rebates and other promotional incentives, including controls over the completeness and accuracy of the programs and related purchasing data.

38


 

We selected a sample of recorded vendor receivables and (1) sent confirmations directly to vendors to confirm the incentive amount and the terms of the executed agreement (2) tested for subsequent cash collections (3) recalculated the incentive amount using the terms of the executed vendor agreement and (4) tested adjustments to vendor incentives to assess management’s initial estimate.
We obtained an understanding of the types of vendor rebates and other promotional incentives the Company receives, and the Company’s accounting policies related to these incentives. Based on that understanding, we performed substantive analytical procedures by developing an independent estimate for each type of incentive and compared our estimate to the amount recorded by management as a reduction of cost of goods sold.
We performed a monthly margin analysis whereby we compared margins generated in prior periods to identify anomalies in margin. We investigated significant variances from the same periods in prior years.

The new share repurchase program has an expiration date of May 27, 2029 and may be amended, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws. As of June 28, 2025, $500 million remained available for share repurchases.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements include consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates used by management are related to the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventories, impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets, acquisition accounting, reserves for claims and recoveries under insurance programs, vendor rebates and other promotional incentives, depreciation, amortization, determination of useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

Our business, our industry and the economy are influenced by a number of general macroeconomic factors, including, but not limited to, reduced demand for our products related to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions triggered by developments beyond our control, including geopolitical dynamics and other events that trigger economic volatility or negatively affect consumer confidence and discretionary spending. We continue to actively monitor the impacts of the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape, including rapidly evolving tariff and global trade policies, on all aspects of our business. The Company and our industry may face challenges related to uncertain economic conditions and heightened uncertainty in the financial markets, inflationary pressure, an uncertain political environment, supply chain disruptions, and lower disposable incomes due to macroeconomic conditions. Although rapidly evolving tariff and global trade policies caused increased uncertainty in the second half of fiscal 2025, we saw little impact to our results in fiscal 2025. However, the extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting future impact on general economic conditions and our future financial position, liquidity, and results of operations remains uncertain. Sustained macroeconomic challenges, whether due to tariffs or otherwise, could negatively affect consumer discretionary spending decisions within our customers’ establishments, which could negatively impact our sales and profitability.

Cash

The Company maintains its cash primarily in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At times, the Company’s cash balance may be in amounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limits. Outstanding checks in excess of deposits are book overdrafts that result in a credit cash balance in the general ledger and are then reinstated as accounts payable. Changes in accounts payable, including checks in excess of deposits, are presented in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows.

Restricted Cash

The Company is required by its insurers to collateralize a part of the deductibles for its workers’ compensation and liability claims. The Company has chosen to satisfy these collateral requirements primarily by depositing funds in trusts or by issuing letters of credit. The restricted cash balances of $8.2 million and $7.7 million as of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, respectively, represent funds deposited in insurance trusts which are considered Level 1 fair value measurements on the fair value hierarchy.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are comprised of trade receivables from customers in the ordinary course of business, are recorded at the invoiced amount, adjusted for any discounts granted to customers, and primarily do not bear interest. Accounts receivable also includes other receivables primarily related to various rebate and promotional incentives with the Company’s suppliers. Receivables are recorded net of the allowance for credit losses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The Company regularly analyzes its significant customer accounts, and when it becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, such as bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, the Company records a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount it reasonably believes is collectible. The Company also records reserves for bad debt for other customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, macroeconomic considerations, and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted. The Company recorded $22.7 million in provision in fiscal 2025, $19.8 million in provision in fiscal 2024, and $6.0 million in provision in fiscal 2023 related to reserves for expected credit losses.

Inventories

The Company’s inventories consist primarily of food and non-food products. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, weighted average cost method, and last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. For its LIFO based inventory the Company utilizes the link chain technique of the dollar value method. At June 28, 2025, the Company’s inventory balance of $3,887.7 million consisted primarily of finished goods, $2,163.4 million of which was valued at FIFO, $1,483.3 million valued at LIFO, and $241.0 million valued at weighted average cost. At June 29, 2024, the Company’s inventory balance of $3,314.7 million consisted of $2,164.4 million valued at FIFO and $1,150.3 million valued at LIFO. At June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the LIFO balance sheet reserves were $363.0 million and $275.0 million, respectively. Costs in inventory include the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver the product to the Company’s warehouses and are net of certain consideration received from vendors in the amount of $112.1 million and $97.6 million as of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, respectively. The Company adjusts its inventory balances for slow-moving, excess, and obsolete inventories. These adjustments are based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items, and overall economic conditions. As of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the Company had adjusted its inventories by approximately $18.0 million and $16.5 million, respectively.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Cost includes the price paid to acquire or construct the assets, required installation costs, applicable interest charges capitalized during the construction period, and any expenditure that substantially adds to the value or substantially extends the useful life of an existing asset. Additionally, the Company capitalizes qualified costs related to software obtained or developed for internal use as a component of property, plant, and equipment. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company begins depreciation and amortization (“depreciation”) for property, plant, and equipment when an asset is both in the location and condition for its intended use.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, including finance lease assets, is calculated primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to 39 years, and is included primarily in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Annually, or when certain triggering events occur, the Company assesses the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment. Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset or asset group to the projected, undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset or asset group. Based on the Company’s assessments, immaterial losses related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment were recorded in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, and no impairment losses related to property, plant, and equipment were recorded in fiscal 2023.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. The difference between the net book value of the asset and proceeds from disposition is recognized as a gain or loss.

Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company’s financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts specifically assigned to those tangible net assets acquired in a business combination. Other intangible assets typically include customer relationships, trade names, technology, non-compete agreements, and favorable lease assets. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangibles with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which generally range from two to twelve years. Annually, or when certain triggering events occur, the Company assesses the useful lives of its intangibles with definite lives. The gross cost and accumulated amortization of intangible assets are removed when the recorded amounts are fully amortized and the asset is no longer in use or the contract has expired. Amortization expense is recognized in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Certain assumptions, estimates, and judgments are used in determining the fair value of net assets acquired, including goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as determining the allocation of goodwill to the reporting units. Accordingly, the Company may obtain the assistance of third-party valuation specialists for the valuation of significant tangible and intangible assets. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but that are inherently uncertain. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), economic barriers to entry, a brand’s relative market position, and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions. Refer to Note 4. Business Combinations for further discussion of the goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the Company’s acquisitions.

The Company is required to test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, or more often if circumstances indicate. Indicators of goodwill impairment include, but are not limited to, significant declines in the markets, industries, and customers that buy the Company’s products, changes in the estimated future cash flows of its reporting units, changes in capital markets, and changes in its market capitalization. For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company’s policy is to assess impairment at the end of each fiscal year.

The Company performs a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “step zero”) to determine whether further quantitative analysis for impairment of goodwill is necessary. In performing step zero for the Company’s goodwill impairment test, the Company is required to make assumptions and judgments including but not limited to the following: the evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as related to the Company’s business, industry and market trends, and the overall future financial performance of its reporting units and future opportunities in the markets in which they operate. If impairment indicators are present after performing step zero, the Company would perform a quantitative impairment analysis to estimate the fair value of goodwill.

During fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, the Company performed the step zero analysis for its goodwill impairment test and, based on this analysis, determined that no further quantitative impairment test was necessary for the Company’s reporting units

48


 

within its reportable segments. Based on the Company’s assessment, there were no impairments recorded in fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024. There was an immaterial impairment of goodwill related to reporting units within the Corporate & All Other segment in fiscal 2023.

Insurance Program

The Company maintains high-deductible insurance programs covering portions of general and vehicle liability and workers’ compensation. The amounts in excess of self-insured levels are fully insured by third-party insurance carriers, subject to certain limitations and exclusions. The Company also maintains self-funded group medical insurance. The Company accrues its estimated liability for these deductibles, including an estimate for incurred but not reported claims, based on known claims and past claims history. The estimated short-term portion of these accruals is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, while the estimated long-term portion of the accruals is included in other long-term liabilities. The provisions for insurance claims include estimates of the frequency and timing of claims occurrence, as well as the ultimate amounts to be paid. These insurance programs are managed by a third party, and the deductibles for general and vehicle liability and workers compensation are primarily collateralized by letters of credit, restricted cash, and cash held by the insurance carrier that offsets the insurance accruals.

Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income (“OCI”)

Other comprehensive (loss) income is defined as all changes in equity during each period except for those resulting from net income (loss) and investments by or distributions to shareholders. Other comprehensive (loss) income consists primarily of gains or losses from derivative financial instruments that are designated in a hedging relationship and foreign currency translation from foreign operations. For derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings during the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Revenue Recognition

The Company markets and distributes primarily national and Company-branded food and food-related products to customer locations across North America. The Foodservice segment primarily services restaurants and supplies a broad line of products to its customers, including the Company’s Performance Brands and custom-cut meats and seafood, as well as products that are specific to each customer’s menu requirements. The Convenience segment primarily distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes and other nicotine products, food and food-service products, and other items to convenience stores. Specialty primarily specializes in distributing candy, snacks, beverages, and other food items nationally to vending and office coffee service distributors as well as direct to customer locations including theater and retail locations. The Company disaggregates revenue by customer type and product offerings and determined that disaggregating revenue at the segment level achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Refer to Note 19. Segment Information for external revenue by reportable segment.

The Company assesses the products and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a product or service (or a bundle of products or services) that is distinct. The Company determined that fulfilling and delivering customer orders constitutes a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and the customer has obtained control of the products. The Company determined that the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the time the products are delivered to the customer’s requested destination. The Company considers control to have transferred upon delivery because the Company has a present right to payment at this time, the customer has legal title to the products, the Company has transferred physical possession of the assets, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products.

The transaction price recognized is the invoiced price, adjusted for any incentives, such as rebates and discounts granted to the customer. The Company estimates expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company determined it is responsible for collecting and remitting state and local excise taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products and presents billed excise taxes as part of revenue. Net sales include amounts related to state and local excise taxes which totaled $3.4 billion, $3.6 billion, and $3.9 billion for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively. The Company has made a policy election to exclude sales tax from the transaction price. The Company does not have any significant payment terms as payment is received shortly after the point of sale.

The Company has customer contracts in which incentives are paid upfront to certain customers. These payments have become industry practice and are not related to financing the customer’s business, nor are they associated with any distinct good or service to be received from the customer. These incentive payments are capitalized and amortized over the life of the contract or the expected life of the customer relationship on a straight-line basis. The Company’s contract asset for these incentives totaled $67.0 million and $55.4 million as of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, respectively.

The Company recognizes substantially all of its revenue on a gross basis as a principal. When assessing whether the Company is acting as a principal or an agent, the Company considered the indicators that an entity controls the specified good or service before it

49


 

is transferred to the customer detailed in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-55-39. The Company believes it earns substantially all revenue as a principal from the sale of products because the Company is responsible for the fulfillment and acceptability of products purchased. Additionally, the Company holds the general inventory risk for the products, as it takes title to the products before the products are ordered by customers and maintains products in inventory.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes amounts paid to suppliers and manufacturers for products sold, the cost of transportation necessary to bring the products to the Company’s facilities, plus depreciation related to processing facilities and equipment. The Company determined it is responsible for remitting state and local excise taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products and presents remittances of excise taxes as part of cost of goods sold. Additionally, federal excise taxes are levied on manufacturers who pass these taxes on to the Company as a portion of the product costs. As a result, federal excise taxes are not a component of the Company’s excise taxes, but are reflected in the cost of inventory until products are sold.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include warehouse, delivery, occupancy, insurance, depreciation, amortization, salaries and wages, employee benefits expenses, and other miscellaneous operating expenses.

Vendor Rebates and Other Promotional Incentives

The Company participates in various rebate and promotional incentives with its suppliers, either unilaterally or in combination with purchasing cooperatives and other procurement partners, that consist primarily of volume and growth rebates, annual and multi-year incentives, and promotional programs. Consideration received under these incentives is generally recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. However, as described below, in certain limited circumstances the consideration is recorded as a reduction of operating expenses incurred by the Company. Consideration received may be in the form of cash and/or invoice deductions. Changes in the estimated amount of incentives to be received are treated as changes in estimates and are recognized in the period of change.

Consideration received for incentives that contain volume and growth rebates, annual incentives, and multi-year incentives are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The Company rationally allocates the consideration for these incentives to each underlying transaction that results in progress by the Company toward earning the incentives. If the incentives are not probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records the incentives as the underlying objectives or milestones are achieved. The Company records annual and multi-year incentives when earned, generally over the agreement period. The Company uses current and historical purchasing data, forecasted purchasing volumes, and other factors in estimating whether the underlying objectives or milestones will be achieved. Consideration received to promote and sell the supplier’s products is typically a reimbursement of marketing costs incurred by the Company and is recorded as a reduction of the Company’s operating expenses. If the amount of consideration received from the suppliers exceeds the Company’s marketing costs, any excess is recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs, which include costs related to the selection of products and delivery to customers, are recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $2,867.1 million, $2,582.2 million, and $2,502.8 million for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation plans consist of the Performance Food Group Company 2007 Management Option Plan (the “2007 Option Plan”), the Performance Food Group Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Incentive Plan”), and the Performance Food Group Company 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Incentive Plan”). The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10-25, Compensation—Stock Compensation—Overall—Recognition which requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements. The Company recognizes expense for its stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards that are granted. The Company estimates the fair value of service-based options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of service-based restricted stock, restricted stock with performance conditions and restricted stock units are based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of options and restricted stock with market conditions using a Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation cost is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. For those options and restricted stock that have a performance condition, compensation expense is based upon the number of options or shares, as applicable, expected to vest after assessing the probability that the performance criteria will be met. The Company has made a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Compensation expense related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, which allows eligible employees to purchase our common stock at a 15% discount, represents the purchase discount plus the fair value of the lookback provision. The fair value of the lookback provision is determined on the first day of the offering period using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

50


 

Income Taxes

The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes—Overall, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The Company takes current and future expirations into consideration when evaluating the need for valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Future tax benefits, including net operating loss carryforwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction of income tax expense. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law, and expirations of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the tax provision as appropriate. Income tax calculations are based on the tax laws enacted as of the date of the financial statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As required by FASB ASC 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging—Hedging—General, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. The Company primarily uses derivative contracts to manage the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows. A portion of these derivatives is designated and qualifies as cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting under FASB ASC 815-20. In the event that the Company does not apply the provisions of hedge accounting, the derivative instruments are recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and included in Other expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. See Note 9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for additional information on the Company’s use of derivative instruments.

The Company discloses derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-50, Derivatives and Hedging—Overall—Disclosure. FASB ASC 815-10-50 sets forth the disclosure requirements with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB ASC 815-20, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB ASC 815-10-50 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data, which include management’s own assumption about the risk assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are evaluated in accordance with this hierarchy.

Contingent Liabilities

The Company records a liability related to contingencies when a loss is considered to be probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. This estimate would include legal settlements, if applicable.

51


 

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at period-end. Translation gains and losses are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Revenue and expenses from foreign operations are translated using the monthly average exchange rates in effect during the period in which the transactions occur. The Company recognizes gains or losses on foreign currency exchange transactions in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company currently does not hedge foreign currency cash flows.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.

As of June 28, 2025, the deferred consideration payable to the seller was $29.4 million. The cash consideration portion of the purchase price was financed with borrowings under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility.

The net sales and net loss related to Cheney Brothers recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2025, since the acquisition date of October 8, 2024 are $2.7 billion and $11.2 million, respectively. The net loss related to Cheney Brothers since the acquisition date was driven by depreciation and amortization of purchase accounting adjustments.

The following table summarizes the unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial information of the Company as if the acquisition had occurred on July 2, 2023.

6. Concentration of Sales and Credit Risk

The Company had no customers that comprised more than 10% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, or fiscal 2023. At June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, the Company had no customers that comprised more than 10% of consolidated accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for which details are disclosed in the accounts receivable portion of Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates—Accounts Receivable.

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company’s customer base includes a large number of individual restaurants, national and regional chain restaurants, vending distributors, theaters, retailers, and national, regional, and independent convenience stores. The credit risk associated with accounts receivable is minimized by the Company’s large and diverse customer base and ongoing monitoring of customer creditworthiness.

Credit Agreement

PFGC, Inc. (“PFGC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Performance Food Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFGC, were parties to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated September 17, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated April 17, 2023 (as amended, the "Prior Credit Agreement”). The Prior Credit Agreement had an aggregate principal amount available of $4.0 billion and was scheduled to mature on September 17, 2026.

55


 

On September 9, 2024, PFGC and Performance Food Group, Inc. entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "ABL Facility"), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administration Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other lenders party thereto, which amends and restates the Prior Credit Agreement. The ABL Facility, among other things, (i) increases the total revolving commitments from $4.0 billion under the Prior Credit Agreement to $5.0 billion under the ABL Facility and (ii) extends the stated maturity date from September 17, 2026, under the Prior Credit Agreement to September 9, 2029, under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility also provides for up to $1.0 billion of uncommitted incremental facilities.

Performance Food Group, Inc. is the lead borrower under the ABL Facility, which is jointly and severally guaranteed by, and secured by the majority of the assets of, PFGC and all material domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PFGC (other than the captive insurance subsidiary and other excluded subsidiaries). Availability for loans and letters of credit under the ABL Facility is governed by a borrowing base, determined by the application of specified advance rates against eligible assets, including trade accounts receivable, inventory, owned real property, and owned transportation equipment. The borrowing base is reduced quarterly by a cumulative fraction of the real property and transportation equipment values. Advances on accounts receivable and inventory are subject to change based on periodic commercial finance examinations and appraisals, and the real property and transportation equipment values included in the borrowing base are subject to change based on periodic appraisals. Audits and appraisals are conducted at the direction of the administrative agent for the benefit and on behalf of all lenders.

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest, at Performance Food Group, Inc.’s option, at (a) the Base Rate (defined as the greatest of (i) a floor rate of 0.00%, (ii) the federal funds rate in effect on such date plus 0.5%, (iii) the prime rate on such day, or (iv) one month Term SOFR plus 1.0%) plus a spread or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus a spread. The ABL Facility also provides for an unused commitment fee at a rate of 0.250% per annum.

The following table summarizes outstanding borrowings, availability, and the average interest rate under the Prior Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility, as applicable:

The ABL Facility contains covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio if Alternate Availability (as defined in the ABL Facility) falls below the greater of (i) $375.0 million and (ii) 10% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the sum of (a) the aggregate commitments plus (b) any outstanding term loans for five consecutive business days. The ABL Facility also contains customary restrictive covenants that include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the loan parties' and their subsidiaries' abilities to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens, make investments, make prepayments, redemptions, or defeasances prior to the maturity of certain restricted debt and dispose of assets. The ABL Facility provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, amounts due under the ABL Facility may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders may be exercised, including rights with respect to the collateral securing the obligations under such agreement.

Senior Notes due 2025

On April 24, 2020, Performance Food Group, Inc. issued and sold $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "Notes due 2025"). On April 19, 2024, Performance Food Group, Inc. elected to exercise its right to redeem all of its outstanding Notes due 2025. Performance Food Group, Inc. redeemed the Notes due 2025 on May 1, 2024 (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes due 2025, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the indenture governing the Notes due 2025.

Senior Notes due 2027

On September 27, 2019, PFG Escrow Corporation (which subsequently merged with and into Performance Food Group, Inc.), issued and sold $1,060.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes due 2027”). The Notes due 2027 are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by PFGC and all domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PFGC (other than captive insurance subsidiaries and other excluded subsidiaries). The Notes due 2027 are not guaranteed by the Company.

The proceeds from the Notes due 2027, along with an offering of shares of the Company’s common stock and borrowings under a prior credit agreement, were used to fund the cash consideration for the acquisition of Reinhart Foodservice, L.L.C. and to pay related fees and expenses.

56


 

The Notes due 2027 were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes due 2027 mature on October 15, 2027 and bear interest at a rate of 5.500% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event or upon the sale of certain assets in which Performance Food Group, Inc. does not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the Notes due 2027 will have the right to require Performance Food Group, Inc. to repurchase each holder’s Notes due 2027 at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change of control triggering event) or 100% (in the case of an asset sale) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem all or part of the Notes due 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture governing the Notes due 2027 contains covenants limiting, among other things, PFGC’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock; pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments; incur certain liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; create certain restrictions on the ability of PFGC’s restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to PFGC; designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and transfer or sell certain assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The Notes due 2027 also contain customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes due 2027 to become or be declared due and payable.

Senior Notes due 2029

On July 26, 2021, Performance Food Group, Inc. issued and sold $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "Notes due 2029"). The Notes due 2029 are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by PFGC and all domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PFGC (other than captive insurance subsidiaries and other excluded subsidiaries). The Notes due 2029 are not guaranteed by the Company.

The proceeds from the Notes due 2029 were used to pay down the outstanding balance of a prior credit agreement, to redeem the 5.500% Senior Notes due 2024, and to pay the fees, expenses, and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Notes due 2029.

The Notes due 2029 were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes due 2029 mature on August 1, 2029, and bear interest at a rate of 4.250% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event or upon the sale of certain assets in which Performance Food Group, Inc. does not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the Notes due 2029 will have the right to require Performance Food Group, Inc. to repurchase each holder’s Notes due 2029 at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change of control triggering event) or 100% (in the case of an asset sale) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem all or part of the Notes due 2029 at a redemption price equal to 102.125% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price decreases to 101.163% and 100% of the principal amount redeemed on August 1, 2025, and August 1, 2026, respectively.

The indenture governing the Notes due 2029 contains covenants limiting, among other things, PFGC’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock; pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments; incur certain liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; create certain restrictions on the ability of PFGC’s restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to PFGC; designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and transfer or sell certain assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The Notes due 2029 also contain customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes due 2029 to become or be declared due and payable.

Senior Notes due 2032

On September 12, 2024, Performance Food Group, Inc. issued and sold $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 6.125% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes due 2032”). The Notes due 2032 are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by PFGC and all domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PFGC (other than captive insurance subsidiaries and other excluded subsidiaries). The Notes due 2032 are not guaranteed by the Company.

The Company intended to use the proceeds from the Notes due 2032, together with borrowings under the ABL Facility, to finance the cash consideration in connection with the Cheney Brothers Acquisition and to pay the fees, expenses, and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Notes due 2032. However, since there was no requirement to hold the funds in escrow until the Cheney Brothers Acquisition closed, the net proceeds for the Notes due 2032 were initially used to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance of the ABL Facility. The Company subsequently funded the cash consideration for the Cheney Brothers Acquisition with borrowings under the ABL Facility.

57


 

The Notes due 2032 were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes due 2032 mature on September 15, 2032, and bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event or upon the sale of certain assets in which Performance Food Group, Inc. does not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the Notes due 2032 will have the right to require Performance Food Group, Inc. to repurchase each holder’s Notes due 2032 at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change of control triggering event) or 100% (in the case of an asset sale) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem all or a part of the Notes due 2032 at any time prior to September 15, 2027, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2032 being redeemed plus a make-whole premium as defined in the indenture governing the Notes due 2032 and accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, beginning on September 15, 2027, Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem all or a part of the Notes due 2032 at a redemption price equal to 103.063% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price decreases to 101.531% and 100% of the principal amount redeemed on September 15, 2028, and September 15, 2029, respectively. In addition, at any time prior to September 15, 2027, Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem up to 40% of the Notes due 2032 from the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture governing the Notes due 2032 contains covenants limiting, among other things, PFGC’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock; pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments; incur certain liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; create certain restrictions on the ability of PFGC’s restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to PFGC; designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and transfer or sell certain assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. The Notes due 2032 also contain customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes due 2032 to become or be declared due and payable.

The ABL Facility and the indentures governing the Notes due 2027, the Notes due 2029, and the Notes due 2032 contain customary restrictive covenants under which all of the net assets of PFGC and its subsidiaries were restricted from distribution to Performance Food Group Company, except for approximately $1,745.0 million of restricted payment capacity available under such debt agreements, as of June 28, 2025. Such minimum estimated restricted payment capacity is calculated based on the most restrictive of our debt agreements and may fluctuate from period to period, which fluctuations may be material. Our restricted payment capacity under other debt instruments to which the Company is subject may be materially higher than the foregoing estimate.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and diesel fuel costs. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and payments related to the Company’s borrowings and diesel fuel purchases.

The entire change in the fair value of derivatives that are both designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction occurs.

58


 

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Since the Company has a substantial portion of its debt in variable-rate instruments, it accomplishes this objective with interest rate swaps. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.

As of June 28, 2025, Performance Food Group, Inc. had two interest rate swaps with a combined $150.0 million notional amount. The following table summarizes the outstanding swap agreements as of June 28, 2025 (in millions):

As hedged interest payments are made on the Company’s debt, amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that gains of approximately $0.8 million will be reclassified to interest expense.

Hedges of Forecasted Diesel Fuel Purchases

From time to time, the Company enters into costless collar or swap arrangements to manage its exposure to variability in cash flows expected to be paid for its forecasted purchases of diesel fuel. As of June 28, 2025, Performance Food Group, Inc. was a party to six such arrangements, with an aggregate 22.7 million-gallon original notional amount of which an aggregate 11.4 million gallon notional was remaining. The remaining 11.4 million gallon forecasted purchases of diesel fuel are expected to be made between June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

The fuel collar and swap instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the derivative instruments are recorded as an asset or liability on the balance sheet at fair value and any changes in fair value are recorded in the period of change as unrealized gains or losses on fuel hedging instruments and included in other, net on the consolidated statement of operations. For the fiscal years ended June 28, 2025, June 29, 2024, and July 1, 2023 the Company recognized a gain of $0.5 million, a gain of $3.7 million, and a loss of $18.3 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of fuel collar and swap instruments along with $0.7 million of expense, $1.9 million of expense, and $12.6 million of income, respectively, related to cash settlements.

The Company does not currently have a payable or receivable related to cash collateral for its derivatives, and therefore it has not established an accounting policy for offsetting the fair value of its derivatives against such balances. The table below presents the fair value of the derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the balance sheet as of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024:

All of the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to a master netting arrangement with the respective counterparties that provide for the net settlement of all derivative contracts in the event of default or upon the occurrence of certain termination events. Upon exercise of termination rights by the non-defaulting party (i) all transactions are terminated, (ii) all transactions are valued and the positive value or “in the money” transactions are netted against the negative value or “out of the money” transactions, and (iii) the only remaining payment obligation is of one of the parties to pay the netted termination amount.

The Company has elected to present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the balance sheet on a gross basis for periods ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024. The tables below present the derivative assets and liability balance, before and after the effects of offsetting, as of June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024:

The derivative instruments are the only assets or liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The fuel collars represent Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy because they are not actively traded and are valued using pricing models that utilize observable market inputs including commodity prices. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements are determined using a valuation model with several inputs and assumptions, some of which may be unobservable. A specific unobservable input used by the Company in determining the fair value of its interest rate swaps is an estimation of both the unsecured borrowing spread to SOFR for the Company as well as that of the derivative counterparties. Based on the lack of significance of this estimated spread component to the overall value of the Company’s interest rate swaps, the Company has concluded that these swaps represent Level 2 on the hierarchy.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that provide that if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, the Company can also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

10. Insurance Program Liabilities

The Company maintains high-deductible insurance programs covering portions of general and vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, and group medical insurance. The amounts in excess of self-insured levels are fully insured by third-party insurance carriers, subject to certain limitations.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, outstanding checks in excess of deposits, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the relatively short maturities of those instruments. The derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. The fair value of long-term debt, which has a carrying value of $5,388.8 million and $3,198.5 million, is $5,399.7 million and $3,104.5 million at June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, respectively, and is determined by reviewing current market pricing related to comparable debt issued at the time of the balance sheet date, and is considered a Level 2 measurement.

12. Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and recognizes a financing or operating lease liability and right-of-use asset in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. When the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. This rate is determined by using the yield curve based on the Company’s credit rating adjusted for the Company’s specific debt profile and secured debt risk. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The lease expenses for these short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has several lease agreements that contain lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance, taxes, and insurance, which are accounted for separately. The difference between the operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities primarily relates to adjustments for deferred rent, favorable leases, and prepaid rent.

Subsidiaries of the Company have entered into numerous operating and finance leases for various warehouses, office facilities, equipment, tractors, and trailers. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 25 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. Certain full-service fleet lease agreements include variable lease payments associated with usage, which are recorded and paid as incurred. When calculating lease liabilities, lease terms will include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Certain of the leases for tractors, trailers, and other vehicles and equipment provide for residual value guarantees to the lessors. Circumstances that would require the subsidiary to perform under the guarantees include either (1) default on the leases with the leased assets being sold for less than the specified residual values in the lease agreements, or (2) decisions not to purchase the assets at the end of the lease terms combined with the sale of the assets, with sales proceeds less than the residual value of the leased assets specified in the lease agreements. Residual value guarantees under these operating lease agreements typically range between 6% and 20% of the value of the leased assets at inception of the lease. These leases have original terms ranging from 5 to 10 years and are set to expire at various dates ranging from 2025 to 2032. As of June 28, 2025, the undiscounted maximum amount of potential future payments for lease residual value guarantees totaled approximately $7.5 million, which would be mitigated by the fair value of the leased assets at lease expiration.

These leases relate primarily to a warehouse lease which will commence upon building completion with a term of 10 years. In addition, these leases include vehicle leases expected to commence in fiscal 2026 with lease terms of 6 to 10 years.

13. Income Taxes

The determination of the Company’s overall effective tax rate requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The effective tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in various federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax law changes, increases and decreases in temporary and permanent differences between book and tax items, tax credits, and the Company’s change in income in each jurisdiction all affect the overall effective tax rate. It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Income tax expense for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 consisted of the following:

As of June 28, 2025, substantially all federal, state and local, and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years prior to fiscal year 2021.

We intend to indefinitely reinvest income of our foreign operations and, as a result, no material accruals have been made with respect to the tax effects of unremitted earnings from these reinvested foreign earnings, including impacts of outside basis differences and withholding taxes.

Since the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") announced the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ("Framework") in 2021, a number of countries have begun to enact legislation to implement the OECD international tax framework, including the Pillar Two minimum tax regime. To mitigate the administrative burden for Multinational Enterprises in complying with the OECD Global Anti-Base Erosion rules during the initial years of implementation, the OECD developed the temporary “Transitional Country-by-Country Safe Harbor” ("Safe Harbor"). This transitional Safe Harbor applies for fiscal years beginning on or before December 31, 2026, but not including a fiscal year that ends after June 30, 2028. Under the Safe Harbor, the top-up tax for such jurisdiction is deemed to be zero, provided that at least one of the Safe Harbor tests is met for the jurisdiction. Of the regions in which we operate, Canada has implemented Pillar Two framework effective January 1, 2024. The Company is not subject to Pillar Two minimum tax in fiscal 2025 under the Safe Harbor rules.

On July 4, 2025, the President of the United States signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”). The Act includes changes to U.S. tax law that will be applicable to the Company in fiscal 2026. The Act makes permanent key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including bonus depreciation, expensing of domestic research costs and limitation of business interest expense. ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the Act, and the results of such evaluations will be reflected in the Company’s form 10-Q for the period ending September 27, 2025.

14. Retirement Plans

Employee Savings Plans

The Company sponsors the Performance Food Group Employee Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Eligible U.S. and Canadian employees participating in the 401(k) Plan may elect to contribute between 1% and 50% of their qualified compensation, up to a maximum dollar amount as specified by the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code in the U.S. or Income Tax Act in Canada, as applicable. The Company matched 100% of the first 3.5% of the employee contributions, resulting in matching contributions of $58.1 million for fiscal 2025, $52.7 million for fiscal 2024, and $52.0 million for fiscal 2023.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

The Company had outstanding contracts and purchase orders of $276.8 million related to capital projects and services including purchases of compressed natural gas for its trucking fleet at June 28, 2025. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2025.

Guarantees

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require it to indemnify various parties against claims from third parties. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) certain real estate leases under which subsidiaries of the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities and other claims arising from their use of the applicable premises; (ii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers, directors, and employees under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship; and (iii) customer agreements under which the Company may be required to indemnify customers for certain claims brought against them with respect to the supplied products. Generally, a maximum obligation under these contracts is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts associated with these types of agreements are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been required to make payments under these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss arising from these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible to probable. When losses are probable and reasonably estimable, they have been accrued. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position or

65


 

results of operations of the Company. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and, if the Company failed to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses were to exceed the Company’s current estimates of the range of potential losses, the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

JUUL Labs, Inc. Marketing Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation. In October 2019, a Multidistrict Litigation action (“MDL”) was initiated in order to centralize litigation against JUUL Labs, Inc. (“JUUL”) and other parties in connection with JUUL’s e-cigarettes and related devices and components in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On March 11, 2020, counsel for plaintiffs and the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee filed a Master Complaint in the MDL ("Master Complaint") naming, among several other entities and individuals including JUUL, Altria Group, Inc., Philip Morris USA, Inc., Altria Client Services LLC, Altria Group Distribution Company, Altria Enterprises LLC, certain members of management and/or individual investors in JUUL, various e-liquid manufacturers, and various retailers, including the Company’s subsidiaries Eby-Brown Company LLC (“Eby-Brown”) and Core-Mark Holding Company, Inc. (“Core-Mark”), as defendants. The Master Complaint also named additional distributors of JUUL products (collectively with Eby-Brown and Core-Mark, the “Distributor Defendants”). The Master Complaint contains various state law claims and alleges that the Distributor Defendants: (i) failed to disclose JUUL’s nicotine contents or the risks associated; (ii) pushed a product designed for a youth market; (iii) engaged with JUUL in planning and marketing its product in a manner designed to maximize the flow of JUUL products; (iv) met with JUUL management in San Francisco, California to further these business dealings; and (v) received incentives and business development funds for marketing and efficient sales. JUUL and Eby-Brown are parties to a Domestic Wholesale Distribution Agreement dated March 10, 2020 (the "Distribution Agreement"), and JUUL has agreed to defend and indemnify Eby-Brown under the terms of that agreement and is paying Eby-Brown’s outside counsel fees directly. In addition, Core-Mark and JUUL have entered into a Defense and Indemnity Agreement dated March 8, 2021 (the "Defense Agreement") pursuant to which JUUL has agreed to defend and indemnify Core-Mark, and JUUL is paying Core-Mark’s outside counsel fees directly.

On December 6, 2022, JUUL announced that it had reached settlements with the plaintiffs in the MDL and related cases that had been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for Northern District of California (the “MDL Settlement”). Per the settlement agreement, the MDL Settlement encompasses the various personal injury, consumer class action, government entity, and Native American tribe claims made against JUUL and includes, among others, all of the Distributor Defendants (including Core-Mark and Eby-Brown) as released parties. The release applicable to the Distributor Defendants, as well as certain other defendants, took effect when JUUL made the first settlement payment on October 27, 2023. The MDL Settlement Master informed the parties that there are ten plaintiffs who opted out of the MDL Settlement; however, those opt-out plaintiffs have amended their individual complaints and have removed Eby-Brown and Core-Mark as defendants in their individual cases.

On September 10, 2021, Michael Lumpkins filed a parallel lawsuit in Illinois state court against several entities, including JUUL, e-liquid manufacturers, various retailers, and various distributors, including Eby-Brown and Core-Mark, alleging similar claims to the claims at issue in the MDL (the “Illinois Litigation”). Because there is no federal jurisdiction for this case, it will proceed in Illinois state court. Plaintiff alleges as damages that his use of JUUL products caused a brain injury that was later exacerbated by medical negligence. The court denied Eby-Brown and Core-Mark’s motion to dismiss, and the case has moved into the discovery phase. The trial date has been set for October 6, 2025. The defense and indemnity of Eby-Brown and Core-Mark for the Illinois Litigation is covered by the Distribution Agreement and the Defense Agreement, respectively. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself.

On June 23, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) announced it had issued marketing denial orders (“MDOs”) to JUUL for all of its products currently marketed and sold in the U.S. According to the FDA, the MDOs banned the distribution and sale of all JUUL products domestically. That same day, JUUL filed a petition for review of the MDOs with the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. On June 24, 2022, the court of appeals stayed the MDOs and issued a briefing schedule in the case. Thereafter, JUUL informed the FDA that per applicable regulations it would submit a request for supervisory review of the MDOs to the FDA. In response, the FDA notified JUUL that upon further review of the briefing JUUL made to the court of appeals, the FDA determined there are scientific issues unique to JUUL’s Pre-Market Tobacco Application (“PMTA”) that warrant additional review. Accordingly, the FDA entered an administrative stay of the MDOs. On July 17, 2025, the FDA announced that it was authorizing the marketing and sale of certain JUUL products.

At this time, the Company is unable to predict whether the FDA will approve JUUL’s PMTA or re-issue the MDOs, nor is the Company able to estimate any potential loss or range of loss in the event of an adverse finding against JUUL in any case that falls outside of the MDL Settlement.

Tax Liabilities

The Company is subject to customary audits by authorities in the jurisdictions where it conducts business in the United States and foreign countries, which may result in assessments of additional taxes. These additional taxes are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable.

16. Related-Party Transactions

The Company participates in, and has an equity method investment in, a purchasing alliance that was formed to obtain better pricing, to expand product options, to reduce internal costs, and to achieve greater inventory turnover. The Company’s investment in the purchasing alliance was $13.3 million as of June 28, 2025, and $11.8 million as of June 29, 2024. For fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, the Company recorded purchases of $2,539.9 million, $2,193.7 million, and $2,006.2 million, respectively, through the purchasing alliance.

17. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potential common shares include outstanding stock-based compensation awards and expected issuable shares under the employee stock purchase plan. In computing diluted earnings per common share, the average closing stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased with the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method. Potential common shares of 0.1 million for both the fiscal years ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 were not included in computing diluted earnings per common share because the effect would have been antidilutive. No potential common shares were considered antidilutive for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2023.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations is as follows:

18. Stock-based Compensation

The Company provides compensation benefits to employees and non-employee directors under share-based payment arrangements. These arrangements are designed to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing employees and non-employee directors who are or will be involved in the Company’s growth with an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company, thereby encouraging them to contribute to and participate in the success of the Company.

The Company also provides an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) which allows eligible employees the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock, at a 15% discount on the fair market value as of the date of purchase through periodic payroll deductions. The ESPP is considered compensatory for federal income tax purposes. Under the ESPP, there are 5,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and reserved and, as of June 28, 2025, there are 2,676,201 shares available for purchase. The Company recorded $7.3 million, $4.5 million, and $4.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2023, respectively, attributable to the ESPP.

The Performance Food Group Company 2007 Management Option Plan

The 2007 Option Plan allowed for the granting of awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company or its affiliates in the form of nonqualified options. The terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2007 Option Plan were determined by the Board of Directors. The contractual term of the options is ten years. The Company no longer grants awards from this plan. Each of the employee awards under the 2007 Option Plan were divided into three equal portions. Tranche I options were subject to time vesting, and Tranche II and Tranche III options were subject to both time and performance vesting based on performance criteria outlined in the 2007 Option Plan.

The Performance Food Group Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The 2015 Incentive Plan allowed for the granting of awards to current employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company. The terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2015 Option Plan were determined by the Board of Directors. The contractual term of options granted under the 2015 Incentive Plan is ten years. In November 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the 2024 Incentive Plan, and subsequent grants were issued from the 2024 Incentive Plan. The Company no longer grants awards from the 2015 Incentive Plan.

Shares of time-based restricted stock granted in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 vest ratably over three years from the date of the grant. No stock options were granted from the 2015 Incentive Plan in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023. Performance-based restricted shares granted vest upon the achievement of a specified Relative Total Shareholder Return (“Relative TSR”), a market condition, at the end of a three-year performance period. Actual shares earned range from 0% to 200% of the initial grant, depending upon performance relative to the Relative TSR goal. Restricted stock units and deferred stock units granted to non-employee directors vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next regularly scheduled annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company.

The fair values of time-based restricted shares, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units were based on the Company’s closing stock price as of the date of grant.

The Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert, estimated the fair value of performance-based restricted shares with a Relative TSR market condition granted in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is based on a zero-coupon risk-free interest rate derived from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield curve at the time of grant for the expected term. The Company assumed a dividend yield of zero percent when valuing the grants under the 2015 Incentive Plan because the Company does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company for the expected term. The expected term represents the period of time from the date of grant to the end of the three-year performance period.

The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Company’s 2015 Incentive Plan was $40.2 million for fiscal 2025, $36.0 million for fiscal 2024, and $34.4 million for fiscal 2023, and it is included within operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations was $11.3 million in fiscal 2025, $9.7 million in fiscal 2024, and $9.3 million in fiscal 2023. Total unrecognized compensation cost for all awards under the 2015 Incentive Plan is $44.8 million as of June 28, 2025. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

The Performance Food Group Company 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan

In November 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the 2024 Incentive Plan. The 2024 Incentive Plan allows for the granting of awards to current employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company. The terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2024 Option Plan are determined by the Board of Directors. Under this plan, the aggregate number of common stock that shall be available for awards is 6,926,217 shares, which includes 4,200,000 additional shares authorized under the 2024 Plan and the shares that remained available for future grants under the 2015 Incentive Plan. As of June 28, 2025, there were 6,910,924 shares available for grant under the 2024 Incentive Plan.

Shares of time-based restricted stock granted in fiscal 2025 vest ratably over three years from the date of the grant. No stock options or performance-based restricted shares were granted from the 2024 Incentive Plan in fiscal 2025.

The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Company’s 2024 Incentive Plan was $0.2 million for fiscal 2025, and it is included within operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations was less than $0.1 million in fiscal 2025. Total unrecognized compensation cost for all awards under the 2024 Incentive Plan is $1.1 million as of June 28, 2025. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

19. Segment Information

The Company regularly monitors for changes in facts and circumstances that would necessitate changes in its determination of operating segments. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company updated its operating segments to reflect the manner in which the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business. Based on changes to the Company’s organizational structure and how the CODM reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, certain operations and administrative and

69


 

corporate costs previously reported in Corporate & All Other are now included in the Foodservice segment. The Company continues to have three reportable segments: Foodservice, Convenience, and Specialty (formerly Vistar). The presentation and amounts as of June 29, 2024 and for the fiscal years ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 have been recast to reflect these segment changes.

The Foodservice segment distributes a broad line of national brands, customer brands, and our proprietary-branded food and food-related products, or “Performance Brands.” Foodservice sells to independent and multi-unit chain restaurants and other institutions such as schools, healthcare facilities, business and industry locations, and retail establishments. Our chain customers are multi-unit restaurants with five or more locations and include some of the most recognizable family and casual dining restaurant chains. Our Convenience segment distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, food and foodservice related products, and other items to convenience stores across North America. Our Specialty segment, previously referred to as Vistar, specializes in distributing candy, snacks, beverages, and other food items nationally to vending, office coffee service, theater, retail, hospitality, and other channels.

Corporate & All Other is comprised of corporate overhead and certain operations that are not considered separate reportable segments based on their size. Corporate & All Other may also include capital expenditures for certain information technology projects that are transferred to the segments once placed in service.

Intersegment sales represent sales between the segments which are eliminated in consolidation.

The Companys CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, utilizes total sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is the Company’s GAAP measure of segment profit, to evaluate each operating segment’s financial performance and make decisions about resource allocation. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and excludes certain items that the Company does not consider part of its segments core operating results, including stock-based compensation expense, changes in the LIFO reserve, acquisition, integration and reorganization expenses, and gains and losses related to fuel derivatives. The CODM reviews budget-to-actual and year-over-year variances for net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA each month when assessing segment performance and making decisions about allocating resources to the segments.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting - Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280) for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2025 and applied the provisions on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Adoption of this standard resulted in additional disclosure of the significant expenses in the respective segments. The Company’s significant segment expenses, Segment Cost of Goods Sold and Segment Operating Expense, are significant to the segment, regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to our CODM, and included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the segment expenses presented below exclude the same items that are excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA.

Although cigarettes represent a significant portion of the Company’s total net sales and cost of goods sold, the majority of the Company’s gross profit is generated from the sales of food and food-related products.

Notes to Condensed Parent Company Only Financial Statements

1. Description of Performance Food Group Company

Performance Food Group Company (the “Parent”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 23, 2002, to effect the purchase of all the outstanding equity interests of PFGC, Inc. (“PFGC”). The Parent has no significant operations or significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in PFGC. Accordingly, the Parent is dependent upon distributions from PFGC to fund its obligations. However, under the terms of PFGC’s various debt agreements, PFGC’s ability to pay dividends or lend to the Parent is restricted, except that PFGC may pay specified amounts to the Parent to fund the payment of the Parent’s franchise and excise taxes and other fees, taxes, and expenses required to maintain its corporate existence.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements (parent company only) include the accounts of the Parent and its investment in PFGC, Inc. accounted for in accordance with the equity method, and do not present the financial statements of the Parent and its subsidiary on a consolidated basis. These parent company only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Performance Food Group Company consolidated financial statements. The Parent is included in the consolidated federal and certain unitary, consolidated and combined state income tax returns with its subsidiaries. The Parent’s tax balances reflect its share of such filings.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), require public companies, including us, to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required or necessary disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

i.
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
ii.
provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our board of directors; and
iii.
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on our assessment, under the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2025. Management has excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Cheney Bros., Inc. (“Cheney Brothers”), which was acquired on October 8, 2024. Cheney Brothers constitutes 15.0% of total assets 4.2% of net sales, and (3.3)% of net income reported in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 28, 2025.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2025, excluding Cheney Brothers, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, which appears in Item 8.

77


 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As permitted by applicable SEC guidance, the scope of our evaluation regarding changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025 excluded internal control over financial reporting for Cheney Brothers, which was acquired on October 8, 2024.

Item 9B. Other Information

During the three months ended June 28, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections

Not applicable.
