Summary of Business Activities

Business Overview

The Company serves both of the major customer types in the restaurant industry: (i) independent customers, and (ii) multi-unit, or “Chain” customers, which include some of the most recognizable family and casual dining restaurant chains, as well as schools, business and industry locations, healthcare facilities, and retail establishments. The Company also specializes in distributing candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, health and beauty care products and other items ~~within the United States and Canada~~ to vending distributors, big box retailers, theaters, convenience stores, drug stores, grocery stores, travel providers, and hospitality providers.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, with the exception of the July ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 consolidated balance sheet, which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. 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.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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, bonus accruals, depreciation, amortization, determination of useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, leases, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K. Certain footnote disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted herein pursuant to applicable rules and regulations for interim financial statements.

~~Foreign Currency Translation~~

As a result of the Core-Mark acquisition on September 1, 2021, PFG now has operations in Canada. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s Canadian operations, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, 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 Canadian operations are translated using the monthly average exchange rates in effect during the period in which the transactions occur. The Company also recognizes gains or losses on foreign currency exchange transactions between its Canadian and U.S. operations, net of applicable income taxes, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company currently does not hedge Canadian foreign currency cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The update improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with

customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payments terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer.

The Company’s contract asset for these incentives totaled $~~24.5~~31.2 million and $~~19.9~~26.4 million as of April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, ~~and July 3, 2021,~~ respectively.

~~Initially~~The First Amendment, among other things, transitioned the ~~Company expected~~benchmark interest rate for the Amended ABL Facility from LIBOR to ~~use~~ the ~~proceeds from the Notes due 2029 to finance the cash consideration payable in connection with the Core-Mark acquisition, to redeem the~~ ~~5.500% Notes due~~ ~~2024~~, and to pay the fees, expenses, and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Notes due 2029. However, since there was no requirement to hold the funds in escrow until the Core-Mark Acquisition closed,term secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”). As a ~~portion~~result of the net proceeds from the Notes due 2029 were used to pay down the outstanding balance of the Prior Credit Agreement on July 26, 2021. The Notes due 2024 were redeemed in full on July 27, 2021. The Company then funded the cash consideration for the Core-Mark Acquisition withFirst Amendment, borrowings under the ~~Prior Credit Agreement.~~

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 ~~arrears.~~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.

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

~~Upon~~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 ~~occurrence~~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 ~~change~~counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of ~~control triggering event or upon~~ the ~~sale~~agreements without exchange of ~~certain assets in which~~the underlying notional amount. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.

On March 20, 2023, Performance Food Group, Inc. ~~does not apply~~entered into an interest rate swap with Capital One, National Association ("Capital One, N.A.") for a $100.0 million notional amount effective from December 16, 2024 and expiring on December 15, 2027. The Company receives floating monthly interest payments based on the ~~proceeds as required, the holders~~greater of ~~the Notes due 2029 will have the right~~one month SOFR CME term or 0.00% and pays a fixed rate of 3.14% to ~~require~~Capital One, N.A.

As of April 1, 2023, Performance Food Group, Inc. ~~to repurchase each holder’s Notes due 2029 at~~had three interest rate swaps with a ~~price equal to~~ combined $~~101~~500.0% million notional amount. The following table summarizes the outstanding swap agreements as of April 1, 2023 (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.~~millions):


Effective Date	Maturity Date	Notional Amount		Fixed Rate Swapped
August 9, 2021	April 9, 2023	$	50.0		2.93	%
April 15, 2021	December 15, 2024	$	350.0		0.84	%
December 16, 2024	December 15, 2027	$	100.0		3.14	%

On April 10, 2023, Performance Food Group, Inc. ~~may redeem all or a part of~~entered into an amended interest rate swap with Capital One, N.A. for the ~~Notes due 2029 at any time prior to August 1, 2024, at a redemption price equal to~~ ~~100~~% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2029 being redeemed plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, beginning on August 1, 2024, Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem all or a 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. In addition, at any time prior to August 1, 2024, Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem up to~~ 40~~% of the Notes due 2029 from the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to~~ ~~104.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.~~

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 2024~~

~~On May 17, 2016, Performance Food Group, Inc. issued and sold~~ $350.0 million ~~aggregate principal~~notional amount ~~of its~~effective from ~~5.500% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes due~~ ~~2024”), pursuant to an indenture dated as of May~~April 17, ~~2016. As described above, on July 26, 2021, Performance Food Group, Inc. issued and sold $1.0~~ ~~billion aggregate principal of its Notes due~~ ~~2029~~2023 and ~~used~~expiring on December 16, 2024. The Company receives floating

monthly interest payments based on the greater of one-month SOFR CME term or a ~~portion~~negative 0.10% and pays a fixed rate of 0.77% to Capital One, N.A. Prior to April 17, 2023, the ~~proceeds~~Company was receiving interest payments based on one-month LIBOR term and paid a fixed rate of 0.84% to ~~redeem the Notes due 2024 in full. A significant portion of this redemption was considered an extinguishment, resulting in a $~~Capital One, N.A.~~3.2~~

million loss on extinguishment of debt within interest expense from the write-off of the pro-rata portion of the unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs related to the debt extinguishment. A portion of this redemption was considered a modification in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50, ~~Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments, and as a result, $0.5~~ ~~million of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discount for the Notes due 2024 was deferred as deferred financing costs of the Notes due 2029.~~

7.8.

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 present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ~~Since~~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 was 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 20 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 7 years and are set to expire at various dates ranging from ~~2022~~2023 to 2028. As of April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, the undiscounted maximum amount of potential future payments for lease residual value guarantees totaled approximately $~~16.2~~11.1 million, which would be mitigated by the fair value of the leased assets at lease expiration.

The following table presents the location of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of April ~~2, 2022~~1, 2023 and July ~~3, 2021~~2, 2022 (in millions), as well as the weighted-average lease term and discount rate for the Company's leases:

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 $~~3,721.1~~3,532.4 million and $~~2,240.5~~3,908.8 million, is $~~3,671.2~~3,445.9 million and $~~2,346.2~~3,704.6 million at April ~~2, 2022~~1, 2023 and July ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, 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.

9.10.

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.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.1% for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and 31.3% for the three months ended April 2, ~~2022 and~~2022. The Company's effective tax rate was ~~37.1~~26.9% for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 27, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate was~~April 1, 2023 and 28.4% for the nine months ended April 2, ~~2022 and~~ ~~14.2% for the nine months ended March 27, 2021.~~2022. The effective tax rate varies from the 21% statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, federal credits, and other permanent items. The excess tax benefit of exercised and vested stock awards is treated as a discrete item. The effective tax rates for periods ended April ~~2, 2022~~1, 2023, differed from the prior year periods primarily due to ~~the increase of~~a decrease in non-deductible expenses and state ~~taxes and non-deductible expenses~~income tax expense as a percentage of book income, ~~and the~~partially offset by a decrease in deductible discrete items related to stock-based ~~compensation as a percentage of book income.~~compensation.

As of April ~~2, 2022~~1, 2023 and July ~~3, 2021,~~2, 2022, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $~~264.1~~202.2 million and $~~159.2~~204.9 million, respectively, and deferred tax liabilities of $~~687.9~~633.1 million and $~~299.6~~629.2 million, respectively. As of both April 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, ~~and July 3, 2021,~~ the Company had established a valuation allowance of $~~1.3~~2.6 million, ~~and $0.7~~ ~~million, respectively,~~ net of federal benefit, against deferred tax assets related to certain net operating losses which are not likely to be realized due to limitations on utilization. The ~~change in the deferred tax balances and the valuation allowance relates primarily to the fiscal 2022 acquisitions' deferred tax assets and deferred taxes established in purchase accounting. The~~ Company believes that it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized.

~~The Company records a liability for Uncertain Tax Positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-25,~~ ~~Income Taxes – General – Recognition. As of April 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.3~~

~~million and $0.3~~ ~~million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. The Company does not expect a material decrease in unrecognized tax benefits will occur in the next twelve months.~~

Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

The Company had outstanding contracts and purchase orders of $~~168.8~~142.3 million related to capital projects and services including purchases of compressed natural gas for its trucking fleet at April ~~2, 2022.~~1, 2023. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of April ~~2, 2022.~~

1, 2023.

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 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~~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 and 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. Individual plaintiffs may also file separate and abbreviated Short Form Complaints (“SFC”) that incorporate the allegations in the Master Complaint. 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 May 29, 2020, JUUL filed a motion to dismiss on the basis that the alleged state law claims are preempted by federal law and a motion to stay/dismiss the litigation based on the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) primary jurisdiction to regulate e-cigarette and related vaping products and pending FDA review of JUUL’s Pre-Market Tobacco Application (“PMTA”). On June 29, 2020, Eby-Brown and Core-Mark, along with the other Distributor Defendants, filed similar motions incorporating JUUL’s arguments. The court denied these motions on October 23, 2020.

The court has also selected the first round of bellwether cases. Bellwether trials are test cases generally intended to try a contested issue common to several plaintiffs in mass tort litigation. The results of these proceedings are used to shape the litigation process for the remaining cases and to aid the parties in assessing potential settlement values of the remaining claims. Here, the court authorized a pool of 24 bellwether plaintiffs, with plaintiffs selecting six cases, the combined defendants selecting six cases, and the court selecting 12 cases at random. The court and the parties have completed the initial bellwether selection process, and the first of these four bellwether trials has been set for June 21, 2022, with the remaining three trials set for the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2022. Eby-Brown and Core-Mark have been dismissed from each of the 2022 bellwether cases and will not be parties or participants to those trials. The Distributor Defendants and the retailers do, however, remain named defendants in various SFCs that were not selected as bellwether trial plaintiffs for 2022. The litigation of those claims is not scheduled to occur until after the 2022

bellwether trials conclude. The second round of bellwether cases will be chosen in May 2022, with trials proceeding for those cases in 2023. In the meantime, discovery related to the claims in the Master Complaint continues as to the Distributor Defendants.

On September 3, 2020, the Cherokee Nation filed a parallel lawsuit in Oklahoma 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 “Oklahoma Litigation”). The defendants in the Oklahoma Litigation attempted to transfer the case into the MDL, but a federal court in Oklahoma remanded the case to Oklahoma state court before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation effectuated the transfer of the MDL, which means the Oklahoma Litigation is no longer eligible for transfer to the MDL. Since then, parties agreed to stay the Oklahoma Litigation and proceed to mediation after the Oklahoma Supreme Court held that public nuisance claims cannot be brought in consumer products cases. On October 25, 2022, JUUL ~~attempted mediation~~notified the Company

that JUUL had reached a settlement agreement that will resolve the Oklahoma Litigation. On November 9, 2022, an order was entered dismissing the Oklahoma litigation, with prejudice, pursuant to the settlement.

On December 6, 2022, JUUL announced that it had reached settlements with the ~~Cherokee Nation~~plaintiffs in ~~March 2022,~~the MDL and related cases that had been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for Northern District of California (the “MDL Settlement”). On January 18, 2023, the parties who were set to participate in the first round of bellwether trials in the MDL submitted a joint status filing with the court in which ~~did~~they notified the court of, among other things, the settlement JUUL reached with the plaintiffs (the “Joint Status Filing”). 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; however, the release applicable to the Distributor Defendants, as well as certain other defendants, will not take effect until after JUUL makes the first settlement payment required in the settlement agreement to a settlement trust account. That payment is due forty-five days after final approval of the MDL Settlement is entered by the court, which has not yet occurred as of the date of this report. As a result ~~in resolution. The parties now await~~of the ~~Cherokee Nation’s anticipated~~MDL Settlement, all scheduling order dates (e.g., discovery and motion ~~to lift the stay. If the stay is lifted, discovery will recommence,~~deadlines and the ~~parties will litigate~~bellwether trial dates) in the ~~various discovery disputes that were outstanding prior~~MDL have been stayed with respect to ~~the stay.~~Eby-Brown and Core-Mark.

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 ~~the Company’s subsidiaries,~~ 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 ~~which~~that was later exacerbated by medical negligence. The ~~Court~~court has entered a case management schedule, with a trial tentatively scheduled to take place in the first calendar quarter of 2024. Eby-Brown and Core-Mark ~~has filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. Eby-Brown has~~have filed a substantive motion to dismiss. ~~Plaintiff has served discovery on Core-Mark and Eby-Brown~~The parties are engaged in ~~an effort to challenge both motions to dismiss and has opted to withdraw the current iteration of the complaint with plans to file an amended complaint in May 2022.~~discovery. The defense and indemnity of Eby-Brown and Core-Mark for the Illinois Litigation is ~~indicated~~covered by ~~the plain language within~~ the Distribution Agreement and the Defense ~~Agreement.~~Agreement, respectively. At this time, JUUL has not indicated that the Illinois Litigation is included under the MDL Settlement. If the Illinois Litigation is not resolved pursuant to the MDL Settlement or otherwise, the Company will continue to vigorously defend itself.

On June 23, 2022, the 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. If the FDA ultimately decides to maintain or re-issue the MDOs, the administrative stay will remain in place for an additional thirty days to provide JUUL the opportunity to seek further judicial relief. JUUL and the FDA filed a joint motion with the court of appeals to hold the petition for review in abeyance on July 6, 2022, which the court of appeals granted on July 7, 2022.

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 itJUUL in any case that falls outside of the MDL ~~the Oklahoma litigation, the Illinois litigation, or any subsequent litigation which may occur related to the individual SFCs. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself.~~Settlement.

Tax Liabilities

The Company is subject to customary audits by authorities in the jurisdictions where it conducts business, ~~in the United States and Canada,~~ which may result in assessments of additional taxes.

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 $~~8.0~~10.0 million as of April ~~2, 2022~~1, 2023 and $~~6.0~~8.7 million as of July ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022. For the three-month periods ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, ~~and March 27, 2021,~~ the Company recorded purchases of $~~441.8~~491.3 million and $~~296.5~~441.8 million, respectively, through the purchasing alliance. ~~During~~For the nine-month periods ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, ~~and March 27, 2021,~~ the Company recorded purchases of $~~1,342.6~~1,456.9 million and $~~804.6~~1,342.6 million, respectively, through the purchasing alliance.

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. ~~NaN~~ potential common shares were considered antidilutive for the three and nine months ended April 2, 2022. For the three months ended March 27, 2021, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share because the inclusion of potential common shares is antidilutive. Potential common shares of ~~0.2~~0.1 million for the nine months ended ~~March 27, 2021,~~April 1, 2023 were not included in computing diluted earnings per common share because the effect would have been antidilutive.

21No

potential common shares were considered antidilutive for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and the three and nine months ended April 2, 2022.

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

~~13. Stock-Based Compensation~~

In connection with the Core-Mark acquisition, the Company assumed the outstanding stock-based compensation awards from Core-Mark’s 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan and 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan. On September 1, 2021, each outstanding time-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) held by a non-employee director of Core-Mark was cancelled and converted into the right to receive ~~0.44~~ ~~shares of PFGC common stock (“Exchange Ratio”) and $23.875~~ in cash, without interest (“Per-Share Cash Amount”). Time-based RSUs held by Core-Mark employees were converted to PFG RSUs based on the prescribed ratio in the merger agreement. The ratio was calculated as the sum of the Exchange Ratio plus the quotient of the Per-Share Cash Amount divided by the volume weighted average sale price of PFGC common stock for the 10 full consecutive trading days ending on August 31, 2021 (“Stock Award Exchange Ratio”). Each performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) of Core-Mark was converted into a PFG RSU based on the greater of the actual performance as of the acquisition date or the target performance level multiplied by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio. The pro-rata actual level of performance for the applicable performance metrics were greater than target, therefore, the PSUs were converted based on actual performance. The PFG RSUs granted as a result of the conversion are subject to the same terms and conditions, such as vesting schedule and termination related vesting provisions, as the Core-Mark awards were subject to prior to their conversion.

~~On September 1, 2021, the Company granted~~ ~~614,056~~ ~~RSUs with a grant date fair value of $49.55~~ ~~per share. With the assistance of a specialist, the total $30.4~~ ~~million grant date fair value was bifurcated with $9.2~~ ~~million recognized as pre-combination vesting within the purchase price as consideration transferred and $21.2~~ ~~million is post-combination expense to be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of~~ ~~1.80~~ ~~years.~~

14. Segment Information

~~In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company changed its operating segments to reflect the manner in which the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business.~~ Based on the Company’s organization structure and how the Company’s management reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, the Company ~~now~~ has 3three reportable segments: Foodservice, Vistar, and Convenience.

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 Vistar segment specializes in distributing candy, snacks, beverages, and other items nationally to vending, office coffee service, theater, retail, hospitality, and other channels. Our Convenience ~~channel~~segment distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, food and foodservice related products, and other items to convenience stores across ~~the United States and Canada.~~North America. Intersegment sales represent sales between the segments, which are eliminated in consolidation.

Management evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on various operating and financial metrics, including total sales and Adjusted EBITDA. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company changed its measure of segment profit to Adjusted EBITDA as this is the metric reported to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for purposes of reviewing operating results and making decisions about allocating resources. In addition, targets based on Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures used to evaluate management’s performance for purposes of determining their compensation under the Company’s incentive plans. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, 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.

Corporate & All Other is comprised of corporate overhead and certain operations that are not considered separate reportable segments based on their size. This includes the operations of the Company’s internal logistics unit responsible for managing and allocating inbound logistics revenue and expense. ~~Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, this also includes the operating results from certain recent immaterial acquisitions.~~ Corporate & All Other may also include capital expenditures for certain information technology projects that are transferred to the segments once placed in service.

The presentation and amounts for the three and nine months ended ~~March 27, 2021 and as of July 3, 2021~~April 2, 2022 have been restated to reflect the change to the measure of segment ~~changes~~profit to Adjusted EBITDA described above.

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 tobacco 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.

~~In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company changed its operating segments to reflect the manner in which the business is managed.~~ Based on the Company’s organization structure and how the Company’s management reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, the Company ~~now~~ has three reportable segments: Foodservice, Vistar, and Convenience. 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 Vistar segment specializes in distributing candy, snacks, beverages, and other items nationally to vending, office coffee service, theater, retail, hospitality, and other channels. Our Convenience channel distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, food and foodservice related products and other items to convenience stores across ~~the United States and Canada.~~North America. We believe that there are substantial synergies across our segments. Cross-segment synergies include 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 September 1, 2021, Performance Food Group Company completed the acquisition of Core-Mark. ~~As a result, the Company expanded its convenience business, which now includes operations in Canada.~~ Refer to Note 5. Business Combinations of the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional details regarding the acquisition of Core-Mark.

Key Factors Affecting Our Business

~~We believe that our~~ ~~short-term performance has been, and is expected to continue to be, adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.~~

Our business,, our industry and the U.S. economy ~~continue~~are influenced by a number of general macroeconomic factors, including, but not limited to, ~~be adversely affected by~~changes in the ~~ongoing COVID-19 pandemic~~rate of inflation and ~~related~~fuel prices, interest rates, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and ~~labor shortages. The Company continues~~the effects of health epidemics and pandemics. We continue to actively monitor the impacts of the ~~ongoing COVID-19 pandemic~~evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape on all aspects of our ~~business including related actions taken by government authorities.~~

During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, economic and operating conditions for our business improved significantly. As governmental restrictions are eased, consumers are returning to consuming food away from home, traveling, and attending events at entertainment venues. However, thebusiness. The Company and our industry may ~~continue to~~ face challenges ~~as the recovery continues, such as availability of~~related to product and fleet supply, increased product and logistics costs, access to labor supply, and lower disposable incomes due to inflationary pressures and ~~the emergence of COVID-19 variants.~~macroeconomic conditions. The extent to which these challenges will affect our future financial position, liquidity, and results of operations remains uncertain.

~~Despite the near-term impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we~~We believe that our long-term performance is principally affected by the following key factors:

•

Changing demographic and macroeconomic trends. ~~Until recently, due to~~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. The foodservice distribution industry is also sensitive to national and regional economic conditions, such as changes in consumer spending, changes in consumer confidence, and changes in the prices of certain goods.

•

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 ~~both~~each of our reportable segments, expansion of geographies, utilizing our infrastructure to gain further selling, 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.

Net Sales

Net sales is equal to gross sales, plus excise taxes, minus sales returns; 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, and mix of products sold.

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), inbound freight, and remittances of excise tax. Cost of goods sold generally changes as we incur higher or lower costs from our suppliers and as our customer and product mix changes.

~~EBITDA and~~ Adjusted EBITDA

Management measures operating performance based on our EBITDA, defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP and is subject to important limitations. Our definition of EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our performance. We use this measure to evaluate the performance of our segments and for business planning purposes. We present EBITDA in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede GAAP measures.

~~In addition, our management uses~~ 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 not consider part of our core operating results. Such adjustments include certain unusual, non-cash, non-recurring, cost reduction, and 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 2025, Notes due 2027, and Notes due 2029 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 defined under GAAP, is not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with 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 2025, Notes due 2027, and Notes due 2029 in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. ~~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.~~

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

•

~~exclude~~excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

•

dodoes not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;

•

dodoes not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

•

dodoes 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 other non-cash charges; and

•

does not include acquisition, restructuring, and other costs incurred to realize future cost savings and enhance our operations.

We have included the ~~calculations~~calculation of ~~EBITDA and~~ Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Three and nine months ended April ~~2, 2022~~1, 2023 compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 27, 2021~~April 2, 2022

Net Sales

Net sales growth is a function of acquisitions, case growth, pricing (which is primarily based on product inflation/deflation), and a changing mix of customers, channels, and product categories sold.

Net sales increased ~~$5.9 billion,~~$692.3 million, or ~~81.6%~~5.3%, ~~for~~from the third quarter of fiscal 2022 ~~compared~~ to the third quarter of fiscal ~~2021 and increased $15.2 billion, or 72.1%, for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021.~~

The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Core-Mark on September 1, 2021, which contributed $4,149.6 million of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, and $9,948.9 million of net sales since the acquisition date. The increase in net sales was also driven by growth in cases sold2023 due to ~~the declining effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the restaurant industry, and~~ an increase in selling price per case as a result of ~~inflation. Overall product cost~~ inflation ~~was approximately 13.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022~~ and ~~11.2%~~channel mix and growth in cases sold. Net sales increased $6.1 billion, or 16.8%, for the first nine months of fiscal ~~2022.~~2023 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as a result of the acquisition of Core-Mark in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and an increase in selling price per case due to inflation and channel mix. The overall rate of product cost inflation has continued to decline through the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and was approximately 7.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and 10.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023. Total case volume increased ~~35.3%~~3.1% and ~~34.0%~~7.3%, including 8.3% and 7.2% of independent case growth, in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal ~~2022,~~2023, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal ~~2021.Organic~~2022. Total organic case volume increased ~~8.3%~~3.1% and ~~13.9%~~1.5% in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal ~~2022, respectively,~~2023 compared to the ~~same periods of fiscal 2021.~~prior year periods.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased ~~$512.9~~$166.3 million, or ~~61.6%~~12.4%, for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2022~~2023 compared to the third quarter of fiscal ~~2021~~2022. The increase in gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily driven by a favorable shift in the mix of cases sold and growth in the independent channel. Gross profit increased ~~$1.3 billion,~~$819.9 million, or ~~53.2%~~21.8%, for the first nine months of fiscal ~~2022~~2023 compared to the first nine months of fiscal ~~2021.~~2022. The increase in gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was primarily driven by the acquisition of ~~Core-Mark. The~~ Core-Mark ~~acquisition contributed gross profit of $243.1 million~~ in the ~~third~~first quarter of fiscal 2022, ~~and $577.4 million since~~a favorable shift in the ~~acquisition date, which includes $8.8 million~~mix of ~~amortization of the step up in fair value of inventory acquired. Also, gross profit increased due to case~~cases sold, procurement related gains, and growth in ~~Foodservice and~~the independent channel, partially offset by an increase in the gross profit per case driven by 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.LIFO reserve.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased ~~$467.7~~$66.1 million, or ~~57.8%~~5.2%, for the third quarter of fiscal ~~2022~~2023 compared to the third quarter of fiscal ~~2021 and increased $1.3 billion, or 53.6%, for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021.~~2022. The increase in operating expenses ~~for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2022~~ was primarily driven by the acquisition of Core-Mark. Core-Mark contributed $216.6 million of operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and $512.0 million of operating expenses since the acquisition date. Operating expenses also increased as a result of an increase in case volume and the resulting impact on variable operational ~~and selling~~ expenses, ~~as well as an~~a $54.4 million increase in personnel ~~expenses. The increases~~expense primarily related to salaries and wages, commissions, and benefits

and an $8.1 million increase in ~~personnel~~repairs and maintenance expense ~~includes increases of $16.0 million~~primarily related to transportation equipment and ~~$102.3 million in temporary contract labor costs, including travel expense associated with the contract workers,~~cloud-based information technology services for the third quarter ~~and~~of fiscal 2023 as compared to the prior year period. Included in the third quarter fiscal 2023 operating expenses is a $10.8 million gain on the sale of a Vistar warehouse facility.

Operating expenses increased $490.5 million, or 13.7%, for the first nine months of fiscal ~~2022, respectively,~~2023 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The increase in operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was primarily driven by the acquisition of Core-Mark, as well as increases in personnel expense, fuel expense, and repairs and maintenance expense. Operating expenses include an incremental $215.1 million for Core-Mark in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to seven months of operating expenses for Core-Mark in fiscal 2022.

Segment Results

~~In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the~~The Company changed its operating segments to reflect the manner in which the business is managed. Based on the Company’s organization structure and how the Company’s management reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, the Company now has three reportable segments: Foodservice, Vistar, and Convenience. Management evaluates the performance of these segments based on various operating and financial metrics, including their respective sales growth and Adjusted EBITDA. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company changed its measure of segment profit to Adjusted EBITDA as this is the metric reported to management for purposes of reviewing operating results and making decisions about allocating resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, 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. See Note 14. Segment Information of the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Corporate & All Other is comprised of unallocated corporate overhead and certain operations that are not considered separate reportable segments based on their size. This includes the operations of our internal logistics unit responsible for managing and allocating inbound logistics revenue and expense. ~~Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, this also includes the operating results from certain recent immaterial acquisitions.~~

The presentation and amounts for the three and nine months ended ~~March 27, 2021~~April 2, 2022 have been restated to reflect the change to the measure of segment ~~changes~~profit to Adjusted EBITDA described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations and growth primarily with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, operating and finance leases, and normal trade credit terms. We have typically funded our acquisitions with additional borrowings under our credit facility. Our working capital and borrowing levels are subject to seasonal fluctuations, typically with the lowest borrowing levels in the third and fourth fiscal quarters and the highest borrowing levels occurring in the first and second fiscal quarters. 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 credit facility. In addition, depending on conditions in the credit and capital markets and other factors, 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.

Our 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 6. Debt and Note 7.8. Leases, respectively, of the consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements in this Form 10-Q. As of April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, the Company had total purchase obligations of ~~$168.8~~$142.3 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. As of April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, the Company had commitments of ~~$108.5~~$88.3 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 Amended ABL Facility to fulfill these commitments. Amounts due under these agreements were not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of April ~~2, 2022.~~1, 2023.

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 both to meet our anticipated cash requirements over at least the next 12 months and to maintain sufficient liquidity for normal operating purposes and to fund capital expenditures.

As of April ~~2, 2022,~~1, 2023, our cash balance totaled ~~$20.8~~$15.4 million, including restricted cash of $7.2 million, as compared to a cash balance totaling $18.7 million, including restricted cash of $7.1 million, as ~~compared to a cash balance totaling $22.2 million, including restricted cash of $11.1 million, as~~ of July ~~3, 2021.~~

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, leases, and goodwill and other intangible assets, which are described in the Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our market risks consist of interest rate risk and fuel price risk. ~~There~~Other than the transition from LIBOR to SOFR for the benchmark interest rate for the Amended ABL Facility and interest rate swaps discussed below, there have been no material changes to our market risks since July ~~3, 2021.~~2, 2022. For a discussion on our exposure to market risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks” in the Form 10-K.

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.

As of April 1, 2023, our subsidiary, Performance Food Group, Inc., had three interest rate swaps with a combined value of $500.0 million notional amount that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. On March 20, 2023, Performance Food Group, Inc. entered into a $100.0 million notional interest rate swap in which the floating rate is based on SOFR. Additionally, on April 20, 2023, Performance Food Group, Inc. entered into an amended interest rate swap for the $350.0 million notional amount effective April 17, 2023 to update the floating rate to be based on SOFR versus LIBOR. See Note 7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities of the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q 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 related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as hedged interest payments are made on our debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that gains of approximately $13.3 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

Based on the fair values of these interest rate swaps as of April 1, 2023, a hypothetical 100 bps decrease in SOFR would result in a loss of $7.5 million and a hypothetical 100 bps increase in SOFR would result in a gain of $7.3 million within accumulated other comprehensive income.

On April 17, 2023, PFGC and Performance Food Group, Inc. entered into the First Amendment to the ABL Facility. The First Amendment transitioned the benchmark interest rate for the Amended ABL Facility from LIBOR to SOFR. See Note 6. Debt of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Amended ABL Facility.

Assuming an average daily balance on our Amended ABL Facility of approximately $1.2 billion, approximately $351.1 million of our outstanding long-term debt is fixed through interest rate swap agreements over the next 12 months and approximately $876.7 million represents variable-rate debt. A hypothetical 100 bps increase in SOFR on our variable-rate debt would lead to an increase of approximately $8.8 million in annual interest expense.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Regulations under the 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-Q, 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-Q, were effective to accomplish their objectives at a reasonable assurance level.

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 April ~~2, 2022~~1, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Refer to Note ~~10.~~11. Commitments and Contingencies ~~within Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements~~ of the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q for disclosure of ongoing litigation.

During the third quarter of fiscal ~~2022,~~2023, the Company repurchased ~~36,198~~58,990 shares of the Company’s common stock via share withholding for payroll tax obligations due from employees in connection with the delivery of shares of the Company’s common stock under our incentive plans.

(2)

On November ~~13, 2018,~~16, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program for up to ~~$250~~$300 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. This authorization replaced the previously authorized $250 million share repurchase program. The new share repurchase program ~~does not have~~has an expiration date of November 16, 2026 and may be amended, suspended, or discontinued at any ~~time.~~time at the Company’s discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws. Repurchases under this program depend upon market place conditions and other factors, including compliance with the covenants under the ABL Facility and the indentures governing the Notes due 2025, Notes due 2027, and Notes due 2029. The share repurchase program remains subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors.
