Includes payments on floating rate debt based on rates as of June 29, 2024, assuming amount remains unchanged until maturity, and payments on fixed rate debt based on maturity dates. Fixed rate debt is inclusive of certain debt in which we pay a fixed interest rate on as of June 29, 2024, which will convert to floating rate debt at a later date.

The total carrying value of our debt was $12.0 billion as of June 29, 2024 and $10.4 billion as of July 1, 2023. The increase in the carrying value of our debt from the prior year was due to new issuances of senior notes, new commercial paper issuances and new leases in support of plant and equipment.

Sysco has a long-term revolving credit facility that includes aggregate commitments of the lenders thereunder of $3.0 billion, with an option to increase such commitments to $4.0 billion. The facility includes a covenant requiring Sysco to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0 over four consecutive fiscal quarters. The facility expires on April 29, 2027. As of June 29, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

Sysco has a U.S commercial paper program allowing the company to issue short-term unsecured notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3.0 billion. Any outstanding amounts are classified within long-term debt, as the program is supported by the long-term revolving credit facility. As of June 29, 2024, there were $200 million in commercial paper issuances outstanding under this program. On October 17, 2023, we entered into a new commercial paper dealer agreement in Europe for a commercial paper program with borrowings not to exceed €250 million. As of June 29, 2024, there were no commercial paper issuances outstanding under this program.

On November 17, 2023, Sysco issued senior notes (the Notes) totaling $1.0 billion to facilitate our acquisition of Edward Don and our share repurchases. Details of the Notes are as follows:

Maturity DatePar Value

January 17, 2034 (the 2034 Notes)500 6.00 99.037 

The Notes initially are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Sysco’s direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries that guarantee Sysco’s other senior notes issued under the indenture governing the Notes or any of Sysco’s other indebtedness. Interest on the Notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on July 17 and January 17, beginning July 17, 2024. At Sysco’s option, any or all of the Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity. If Sysco elects to redeem (i) the 2029 Notes before the date that is one month prior to the maturity date, or (ii) the 2034 Notes before the date that is three months prior to the maturity date, Sysco will pay an amount equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such senior notes matured on the applicable date described above. If Sysco elects to redeem a series of Notes on or after the applicable date described in the preceding sentence, Sysco will pay an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. Sysco will pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed to the redemption date.

As of June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, letters of credit outstanding were $271 million and $268 million, respectively.
