BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Sysco distributes food and related products to restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, lodging establishments and other foodservice customers. Our primary operations are located in North America and Europe. Under the accounting provisions related to disclosures about segments of an enterprise, we have aggregated certain operating segments into three reportable segments. “Other” financial information is attributable to our other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative disclosure thresholds.

•U.S. Foodservice Operations – primarily includes U.S. Broadline operations, which distribute a full line of food products, including custom-cut meat, seafood, specialty produce, specialty Italian, specialty imports and a wide variety of non-food products;

•International Foodservice Operations – includes operations in the Americas (primarily outside of the U.S. and Europe, which distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of non-food products. The Americas primarily consists of operations in Canada, Bahamas, Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama, as well as our operations that distribute to international customers. Our European operations primarily consist of operations in the U.K., France, Ireland and Sweden;

•SYGMA – our U.S. customized distribution operations serving quick-service chain restaurant customer locations; and

•Other – primarily our hotel supply operations, Guest Worldwide.

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those disclosed by Sysco for its consolidated financial statements. Our Global Support Center generally includes all expenses of the corporate office and Sysco’s shared service operations. These also include all U.S. share-based compensation costs.

The following tables set forth certain financial information for Sysco’s reportable business segments.
