- 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 1, 2023 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.
- Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities— Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The update enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring the disclosure of the effect of those programs on an entity’s working capital, liquidity, and cash flows. The guidance requires disclosure of the key terms of supplier finance programs as well as the obligation amount outstanding as of the end of the period, a description of where the obligation is presented in the balance sheet and a rollforward of the obligations balance during the period, including the amount of obligations confirmed and the amount of obligations paid. The amendments in this update are to be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is applied prospectively. The Company determined that adoption of this update at the beginning of fiscal 2024 has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
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 payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The guidance requires that an acquiring entity in a business combination recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contract. The amendments in this update were adopted at the beginning of fiscal 2024 and will be applied prospectively to applicable business combinations. Historically, the contract assets and liabilities included in the Company’s business combinations have been limited to prepaid customer incentives that are immaterial in comparison to total assets acquired. The Company determined that adoption of this update has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The update expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. It further requires disclosure of the amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of both a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The guidance requires disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and how reported measures of segment profit or loss are used to assess performance and allocate resources. This pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to each period presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its future consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The update expands public entities’ income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring disaggregation of specific categories and reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold within the rate reconciliation, as well as disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its future consolidated financial statements.
- 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. Vistar specializes in distributing candy, snacks, beverages, and other items nationally to vending, office coffee service, theater, retail, hospitality, and other channels. The Convenience segment distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, food and foodservice related products, and other items to convenience stores across North America. 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 13. Segment Informationfor external revenue by reportable segment.
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$31.6 million and $32.5 million as of December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, respectively.
- Business Combinations
During the first six months of fiscal 2024, the Company paid cash of $308.1 million fortwo acquisitions. These acquisitions are reported in the Vistar and Corporate and All Other segments. During the first six months of fiscal 2023, the Company paid cash of $65.8 million forone acquisition which is reported in the Corporate and All Other segment. These acquisitions did not materially affect the Company's results of operations.

Credit Agreement
PFGC, Inc. (“PFGC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Performance Food Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFGC, are 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 “ABL Facility”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The ABL Facility has an aggregate principal amount available of $4.0 billion and matures September 17, 2026.
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 properties, and owned transportation equipment. The borrowing base is reduced quarterly by a cumulative fraction of the real properties 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 Company's ABL Facility:

| Average interest rate, excluding impact of interest rate swaps | 6.60% | 6.35% |
- 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. 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 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 2024 to 2032. As of December 30, 2023, the undiscounted maximum amount of potential future payments for lease residual value guarantees totaled approximately$12.0 million, which would be mitigated by the fair value of the leased assets at lease expiration.

As of December 30, 2023, the Company had additional operating and finance leases that had not yet commenced which total$882.1 million in future minimum lease payments. These leases relate primarily to build-to-suit warehouse leases which will replace existing distribution centers and will commence upon building completion with terms of 15 to 25 years. In addition, these leases include vehicle leases expected to commence in fiscal 2024 with lease terms of 2 to 10 years.
- 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 $3,502.0 million and $3,460.1 million, is $3,417.5 million and $3,338.2 million at December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, 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.
- 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 29.9% for the three months ended December 30, 2023 and 26.1% for thethree months ended December 31, 2022. The Company's effective tax rate was 27.6%for the six months ended December 30, 2023 and 26.2% for thesix months ended December 31, 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 rate for periods ended December 30, 2023 differed from the prior year periods primarily due to an increase in non-deductible expenses and state and foreign taxes as a percentage of income, partially offset by an increase in deductible discrete items related to stock-based compensation.
As of December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $192.8 million and $178.5 million, respectively, and deferred tax liabilities of$667.5 million and $624.7 million, respectively. As of December 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023, the Company had established a valuation allowance of $2.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, net of federal benefit, against deferred tax assets related to certain net operating losses and certain other 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 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.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
The Company had outstanding contracts and purchase orders of $320.4 million related to capital projects and services including purchases of compressed natural gas for its trucking fleet at December 30, 2023. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 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 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. Individual plaintiffs may also file separate and abbreviated Short Form Complaints 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 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”). 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 they notified the court of, among other things, the settlement JUUL reached with the plaintiffs. 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 has informed the parties that there are ten plaintiffs who named both Core-Mark and Eby-Brown as defendants who have opted out of the MDL Settlement. Those opt-out plaintiff cases are now in the early stages of discovery and no trial dates have been set. If any of the opt-out plaintiffs continue to litigate their claims apart from the MDL Settlement, the duty of JUUL to defend and indemnify Eby-Brown and Core-Mark remains, and the Company will vigorously defend itself.
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 has not yet entered a case management schedule. Eby-Brown and Core-Mark have filed a substantive motion to dismiss. 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. 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 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. 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 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.
- 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$11.7 million as of December 30, 2023 and$9.9 million as of July 1, 2023. For the three-month periods ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded purchases of$521.1 million and$467.1 million, respectively, through the purchasing alliance. For the six-month periods ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded purchases of$1,070.6 million and$965.6 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. No potential common shares were considered antidilutive for the three andsix months ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations is as follows:

- Segment Information
Based on the Company’s organizational structure and how the Company’s management reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, the Company hasthree 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 segment distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, food and foodservice related products, and other items to convenience stores across North America.
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. 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.
