Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Results Total case volume increased 0.9% from the prior year driven by a 2.7% increase in independent restaurant case volume, a 4.9% increase in healthcare volume and a 2.4% increase in hospitality volume, partially offset by a 4.0% decrease in chain volume. Total organic case volume increased 0.5%, which includes 2.3% organic independent restaurant case volume growth. Net sales of $10.1 billion for the quarter increased 3.8% from the prior year, driven by case volume growth and food cost inflation of 2.5%. Gross profit of $1.8 billion increased by $71 million, or 4.2%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume, improved cost of goods sold and inventory management, partially offset by an unfavorable year-over-year LIFO adjustment.

Adjusted Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 17.8%. Operating expenses of $1.4 billion increased by $52 million, or 3.8%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume and higher distribution, selling and administrative costs, partially offset by continued distribution productivity improvement as well as actions to streamline administrative processes and costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.9%. Adjusted Operating expenses were $1.2 billion, an increase of $31 million, or 2.6% from the prior year. Adjusted Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 12.3%. Net income of $224 million, increased by $26 million, or 13.1%, from the prior year. Net income margin was 2.2%, an increase of 18 basis points compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $548 million, increased by $59 million, or 12.1%, from the prior year.

Net Debt at the end of the second quarter fiscal year 2025 was $4.8 billion. The ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 2.6x at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to 2.8x at the end of fiscal year 2024. On May 7, 2025, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $1 billion.

Please refer to the 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures' and 'Non-GAAP Reconciliation' sections of this press release for the definitions and reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. 2 The Company is not providing a reconciliation of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of certain significant items, including restructuring activity and asset impairment charges, share-based compensation expenses, non-cash impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, losses on extinguishments of debt, business transformation costs, other gains and losses, business acquisition and integration related costs and divestiture costs and diluted earnings per share. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance periods. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. Expand Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this press release which are not historical in nature, including those under the heading 'Outlook for Fiscal Year 2025,' are 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements often include words such as 'believe,' 'expect,' 'project,' 'anticipate,' 'intend,' 'plan,' 'outlook,' 'estimate,' 'target,' 'seek,' 'will,' 'may,' 'would,' 'should,' 'could,' 'forecast,' 'mission,' 'strive,' 'more,' 'goal,' or similar expressions (although not all forward-looking statements may contain such words) and are based upon various assumptions and our experience in the industry, as well as historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments. However, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results and there are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including, among others: economic factors affecting consumer confidence and discretionary spending and reducing the consumption of food prepared away from home; cost inflation/deflation and commodity volatility; competition; reliance on third party suppliers and interruption of product supply or increases in product costs; changes in our relationships with customers and group purchasing organizations; our ability to increase or maintain the highest margin portions of our business; achievement of expected benefits from cost savings initiatives; increases in fuel costs; changes in consumer eating habits; cost and pricing structures; the impact of climate change or related legal, regulatory or market measures; impairment charges for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets; the impact of governmental regulations; product recalls and product liability claims; our reputation in the industry; labor relations and increased labor costs and continued access to qualified and diverse labor; indebtedness and restrictions under agreements governing our indebtedness; interest rate increases; disruption of existing technologies and implementation of new technologies; cybersecurity incidents and other technology disruptions; risks associated with intellectual property, including potential infringement; effective consummation of pending acquisitions and effective integration of acquired businesses; potential costs associated with shareholder activism; changes in tax laws and regulations and resolution of tax disputes; certain provisions in our governing documents; health and safety risks to our associates and related losses; adverse judgments or settlements resulting from litigation; extreme weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events; and management of retirement benefits and pension obligations. For a detailed discussion of these risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expressed in any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled 'Risk Factors' in US Foods' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') on February 13, 2025. Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed from time to time in current, quarterly and annual reports filed by the Company with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's website at Additionally, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment; new risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks nor identify all uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release and are based on information and estimates available to us at this time. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ('GAAP'). However, Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net Debt, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures regarding our operational performance and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use Adjusted Gross profit and Adjusted Operating expenses as supplemental measures to GAAP measures to focus on period-over-period changes in our business and believe this information is helpful to investors. Adjusted Gross profit is Gross profit adjusted to remove the impact of the LIFO inventory reserve adjustments. Adjusted Operating expenses are Operating expenses adjusted to exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. EBITDA is Net income (loss), plus Interest expense-net, Income tax provision (benefit), and Depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for (1) Restructuring activity and asset impairment charges; (2) Share-based compensation expense; (3) the non-cash impact of LIFO reserve adjustments; (4) loss on extinguishment of debt; (5) Business transformation costs; and (6) other gains, losses or costs as specified in the agreements governing our indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales. We use Net Debt as a supplemental measure to GAAP measures to review the liquidity of our operations. Net Debt is defined as total debt net of total Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash remaining on the balance sheet as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. We believe that Net Debt is a useful financial metric to assess our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments. Net Debt is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Cash Flows Provided by Operations or Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities. We believe that Adjusted Net income is a useful measure of operating performance for both management and investors because it excludes items that are not reflective of our core operating performance and provides an additional view of our operating performance including depreciation, interest expense, and Income taxes on a consistent basis from period to period. Adjusted Net income is Net income (loss) excluding such items as restructuring activity and asset impairment charges, Share-based compensation expense, the non-cash impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, amortization expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, Business transformation costs and other items, and adjusted for the tax effect of the exclusions and discrete tax items. We believe that Adjusted Net income may be used by investors, analysts, and other interested parties to facilitate period-over-period comparisons and provides additional clarity as to how factors and trends impact our operating performance. We use Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, which is calculated by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Diluted Earnings per Share, by excluding the same items excluded in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to the extent that each such item was included in the applicable GAAP financial measure. We believe the presentation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to investors because the measurement excludes amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. We also believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to investors because these metrics may be used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in our industry. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance as well as our performance relative to our competitors as they assist in highlighting trends, (b) to set internal sales targets and spending budgets, (c) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting, (d) to assess financial discipline over operational expenditures, and (e) as an important factor in determining variable compensation for management and employees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used in connection with certain covenants and restricted activities under the agreements governing our indebtedness. We also believe these and similar non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We caution readers that our definitions of Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net Debt, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Diluted EPS may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures used by other companies. Definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the schedules attached to this press release.

Performance Food Group (PFGC) Targeted for Acquisition by US Foods
Performance Food Group Company (NYSE:PFGC) is one of the best alternative meat stocks to invest in according to analysts. On July 11, shares of US Foods Holding (USFD) surged to an all-time high following reports that the company was considering a potential acquisition of Performance Food Group (PFGC). The report detailed that the talks for a potential acquisition (or combination) remain private and nonbinding, with no guarantee that a deal will materialize. A filled shopping cart with popular food and beverage items. If completed, the merger would create the largest foodservice distributor in the US, with combined annual revenues of roughly $100 billion. This would surpass the current market leader, Sysco (NYSE:SYY), which reported approximately $64 billion in sales in 2024. The combined entity would hold approximately 18% of the $371 billion US food distribution market, becoming the number one player in the segment. US Foods aims to strengthen its position in the independent restaurant channel and other higher-margin markets through acquisitions. Performance Food's strengths include independent pizzerias, convenience stores, and candy/snacks areas, where US Foods is weaker. The merger would create scale and potential efficiencies, though analysts warn it could pressure US Foods' EBITDA margins in the short term.

US Foods (USFD) hit a new 52-week high of $84.44 on July 17. The stock has a 100% technical 'Buy' signal via Barchart and consistent price appreciation. USFD shares are up nearly 58% over the past year. Analyst sentiment is mostly bullish, but some advisory services are cautious, citing potential overvaluation. Today's Featured Stock: Valued at $19.4 billion, US Foods (USFD) is a foodservice distributor. The company serves independent and multi-unit restaurants, healthcare and hospitality entities, and government and educational institutions. What I'm Watching: I found today's Chart of the Day by using Barchart's powerful screening functions. I sorted for stocks with the highest technical buy signals, superior current momentum in both strength and direction, and a Trend Seeker 'buy' signal. I then used Barchart's Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. USFD checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on May 5, the stock has gained 22.4%.

Analyst and Investor Sentiment on US Foods: I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying, but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock, it's hard to make money swimming against the tide. It looks like Wall Street analysts are bullish, but some major advisory sites aren't. The Wall Street analysts tracked by Barchart issued 13 'Strong Buy,' one 'Moderate Buy,' and one 'Hold' opinion on the stock. Value Line gives the company its highest rating based on the fact it's continuing to take market share from its competitors. CFRA's MarketScope rates the stock a 'Sell' on its projections of slowing growth in the restaurant industry. Morningstar thinks the stock is 15% overvalued. 7,950 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha, which rates the stock a 'Buy.' The Bottom Line: US Foods currently has momentum and is hitting new highs. I caution that USFD is volatile and speculative — use strict risk management and stop-loss strategies.

Additional disclosure: The Barchart of the Day highlights stocks that are experiencing exceptional current price appreciation. They are not intended to be buy recommendations as these stocks are extremely volatile and speculative. Should you decide to add one of these stocks to your investment portfolio it is highly suggested you follow a predetermined diversification and moving stop loss discipline that is consistent with your personal investment risk tolerance.
