*Fiscal 2021 includes a 53rd week.
1For reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP
measures, see the Appendix.
During fiscal 2022, Performance Food Group
(“PFG”) surpassed major milestones and
reinforced our position as one of the world’s
leading food and foodservice distribution
companies. Our organization successfully grew
despite macro-economic pressure, showing the
resiliency of our strategy. Our focus on meeting
the customer where they want allows us to
increase our market share in the U.S. restaurant
space and win new customer accounts across
a range of channels.
Our strategy is underpinned by a relentless
focus on expanding across North America
through both organic growth and strategic
transactions. We took a big step forward in this
journey by closing the Core-Mark transaction
during the fiscal first quarter of 2022. Since
the closing, we have made significant progress
integrating Core-Mark. We are encouraged
by their smooth transition into PFG’s family of
companies and the early business success.
By combining Core-Mark’s strength in the
convenience store (c-store) space with PFG’s
foodservice expertise, we have been able to
create a strong pipeline of c-store business
opportunities. This has translated into wins
across the c-store space and boosted our
sales and profit results. We remain confident
that the Core-Mark transaction is well on its
way to creating significant stockholder value
over the long-term.
In fiscal 2022 we also delivered on an important
milestone in our journey to become a leader
in the Environmental, Social and Governance
(“ESG”) space. During the fiscal year, PFG
published its second annual ESG report, which
established our company’s first set of ESG
goals. At PFG, we believe that being a leading
steward for the environment, our community,
and our organization will be part of what defines
our long-term success.
Our strategy and our dedicated associates led
to a successful business performance for PFG.
In fiscal 2022, we achieved total net sales of
$50.9 billion and exceeded the $1 billion mark
in Adjusted EBITDA for the first time in our
company’s history.
Our fiscal 2022 financial results include:
n Total case volume growth of 29%
n Net sales increased 67% to $50.9 billion
n Gross profit improved 49% to
$5.3 billion
n Net Income of $112.5 million
n Adjusted EBITDA increased 63% to
$1 billion1
n Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) of $0.74
The increase in net sales was primarily
attributable to the acquisition of Core-Mark
and growth in cases sold and an increase in
price per case as a result of inflation.
The gross profit increase was led by the
acquisition of Core-Mark, which contributed
gross profit of $846.5 million for fiscal 2022.
Also, gross profit increased due to an increase
in gross profit per case driven by inflation and
case growth in Foodservice, particularly in the
independent channel.
ACQUISITIONS AND INTEGRATIONS
PFG’s history as a disciplined and proven
acquirer has been an important element of our
growth strategy over the past several years.
Reinhart Foodservice is now fully integrated
within our Foodservice segment and has
contributed excellent results, and in many
areas Reinhart is now growing faster than our
legacy business. I am incredibly pleased with
the ongoing efforts across our organization to
make this important transaction the success
that it has become. Successful integration
of acquisitions has allowed our company to
augment our organic growth strategy to create
additional stockholder value.
The next opportunity for this value creation,
we believe, will come from the already-strong
and continuing contributions from the
Core-Mark acquisition. We look forward to
continued success with the Core-Mark team.
SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATING
THE MARKETPLACE
The past several years have certainly presented
unique challenges for our industry, customers
and associates. The past 12 months have
seen a disrupted supply chain, high food-cost
inflation and rising fuel prices. Throughout it all,
the dedication of PFG’s associates has allowed
our company to manage the challenges and
build a stronger, more resilient organization.
We believe this will serve us well for the years
ahead. I see a bright future for PFG and thank
our entire organization for making that possible.
Best regards,
George L. Holm

sections. All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-K, including statements concerning our
plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, our results of operations, financial position, our
business outlook, business trends and other information, and integration of our acquisition of Core-Mark Holding Company, Inc.

“projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “may,” “should” and variations of such words or similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon our
current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently
uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there
is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections
will result or be achieved, and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking
statements.
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 the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K. Such risks, uncertainties and
other important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others, the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth
under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Form 10-K ("Item 1A"), as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our

Item 1. Business
PART I
Performance Food Group Company (“we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” or “PFG”), through its subsidiaries, markets and
distributes more than 250,000 food and food-related products from 142 distribution centers to over 300,000 customer locations across
the United States. Our more than 35,000 employees serve a diverse mix of customers, from independent and chain restaurants to
schools, business and industry locations, hospitals, vending distributors, office coffee service distributors, retailers, convenience
stores, and theaters. We source our products from various suppliers and serve as an important partner to our suppliers by providing
them access to our broad customer base. 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.
On September 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Core-Mark. As a result, we expanded our convenience business, which
now includes operations in Canada. Refer to Note 4. Business Combinations within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements "("Item 8") for additional details regarding the acquisition of Core-Mark.
Our business, our industry and the U.S. economy are influenced by a number of general macroeconomic factors, including, but
not limited to, the recent rise in the rate of inflation and fuel prices, interest rates, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related
supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. We continue to actively monitor the impacts of the evolving macroeconomic and
geopolitical landscape on all aspects of our business. During fiscal 2022, economic and operating conditions for our business
improved significantly due to the declining adverse effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Company and our
industry may continue to face challenges as the recovery continues, such as availability of product supply, increased product and
logistics costs, access to labor supply, lower disposable incomes due to inflationary pressures and macroeconomic conditions, and the
emergence of COVID-19 variants. The extent to which these challenges will affect our future financial position, liquidity, and results
of operations remains uncertain. For further information on the risks posed to our business, please see Item 1A.
Our Segments
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.
Corporate & All Other is comprised of corporate overhead and certain operating segments 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.
Foodservice. Foodservice offers a “broad line” of products, including custom-cut meat and seafood, as well as products that are
specific to our customers’ menu requirements. Foodservice operates a network of 78 distribution centers, each of which is run by a
business team who understands the local markets and the needs of its particular customers and who is empowered to make decisions
on how best to serve them. This segment serves over 175,000 customer locations.
The Foodservice segment markets and distributes food and food-related products to independent restaurants, chain restaurants,
and other institutional “food-away-from-home” locations. Independent customers, predominantly include family dining, bar and grill,
pizza and Italian, and fast casual restaurants. We seek to increase the mix of our total sales to independent customers because they
typically use more value-added services, particularly in the areas of product selection and procurement, market trends, menu
development, and operational strategy and also use more of our proprietary-branded products (“Performance Brands”), which are our
highest margin products. As a result, independent customers generate higher gross profit per case that more than offsets the generally
higher supply chain costs that we incur in serving these customers. Chain customers are multi-unit restaurants with five or more
locations and include fine dining, family and casual dining, fast casual, and quick serve restaurants, as well as hotels, healthcare
facilities, and other multi-unit institutional customers. Our Foodservice segment’s chain customers include regional businesses
requiring short-haul routes as well as national businesses requiring long-haul routes, including many of the most recognizable family
and casual dining restaurant chains. Sales to chain customers are typically lower gross margin but have larger deliveries than those to
independent customers.
We offer our customers a broad product assortment that ranges from “center-of-the-plate” items (such as beef, pork, poultry, and
seafood), frozen foods, refrigerated products, and dry groceries to disposables, cleaning and kitchen supplies, and related products
used by our customers. In addition to the products we offer, we provide value-added services by enabling our customers to benefit
from our industry knowledge, scale, and expertise in the areas of product selection and procurement, menu development, and
operational strategy.

Our products consist of Performance Brands, as well as nationally branded products and products bearing our customers’
brands. Our Performance Brands typically generate higher gross profit per case than other brands. Nationally branded products are
attractive to chain, independent, and other customers seeking recognized national brands in their operations and complement sales of
our Performance Brand products. Some of our chain customers, particularly those with national distribution, develop exclusive stock
keeping units (“SKU”) specifications directly with suppliers and brand these SKUs. We purchase these SKUs directly from suppliers
and receive them into our distribution centers, where they are mixed with other SKUs and delivered to the chain customers’ locations.
Vistar. Vistar is a leading national distributor of candy, snacks, and beverages to vending and office coffee service distributors,
retailers, theaters, and hospitality providers. The segment provides national distribution of candy, snacks, beverages, and other items
to over 75,000 customer locations from our network of 25 Vistar distribution centers and 4 Merchant’s Marts locations.
Vending operators comprise Vistar’s largest channel, where we distribute a broad selection of vending machine products to the
operators’ depots, from which they distribute products and stock machines. Additionally, Vistar is a leading distributor of products to
theater chains as well as in the office coffee service channel. Vistar has successfully built upon our national platform to broaden the
channels we serve to include hospitality venues, concessionaires, airport gift shops, college bookstores, corrections facilities, and
impulse locations in various brick and mortar big box retailers nationwide. Merchant’s Marts are cash-and-carry operators where
customers generally pick up orders rather than having them delivered. Vistar’s scale in these channels enhances our ability to procure
a broad variety of products for our customers. Vistar distribution centers deliver to vending and office coffee service distributors and
directly to most theaters and some other locations. The distribution model also includes a “pick and pack” capability, which utilizes
third-party carriers and Vistar’s SKU variety to sell to customers whose order sizes are too small to be served effectively by our
delivery network. We believe these capabilities, in conjunction with the breadth of our inventory, are differentiating and allow us to
serve many distinct customer types.
Convenience. The Convenience segment is one of the largest foodservice and wholesaler consumer products distributors in the
convenience retail industry. Convenience offers a full range of products, marketing programs and technology solutions to
approximately 50,000 customer locations in the United States and Canada. The Convenience segment's customers include traditional
convenience stores, drug stores, mass merchants, grocery stores, liquor stores and other specialty and small format stores that carry
convenience products. Convenience's product offering includes cigarettes, other tobacco products, alternative nicotine products,
candy, snacks, food, including fresh products, groceries dairy, bread, beverages, general merchandise and health and beauty care
products. Convenience operates a network of 39 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada (excluding two distribution facilities it
operates as a third-party logistics provider). There are 35 distribution centers located in the U.S. and four located in Canada.
The Company had no customers that comprised more than 10% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2022 or fiscal 2021. For
fiscal 2020, one of the Company’s customers within the Convenience segment accounted for 10.2% of our total net sales.
Suppliers
We source our products from various suppliers and serve as an important partner to our suppliers by providing them access to
our broad customer base. Many of our suppliers provide products to each of our reportable segments, while others sell to only one
segment. Our supplier base consists principally of large corporations that sell their national brands, our Performance Brands, and
sometimes both. We also buy from smaller suppliers, particularly on a regional basis, and particularly those that specialize in produce
and other perishable commodities. Many of our suppliers provide sales material and sales call support for the products that we
purchase.
Pricing
Our pricing to customers is either set by contract with the customer or is priced at the time of order. If the price is by contract,
then it is either based on a percentage markup over cost or a fixed markup per unit, and the unit may be expressed either in cases or
pounds of product. If the pricing is set at time of order, the pricing is agreed to between our sales associate and the customer and is
typically based on a product cost that fluctuates weekly or more frequently.
If contracts are based on a fixed markup per unit or pound, then our customers bear the risk of cost fluctuations during the
contract life. In the case of a fixed markup percentage, we typically bear the risk of cost deflation or the benefit of cost inflation. If
pricing is set at the time of order, we have the current cost of goods in our inventory and typically pass cost increases or decreases to
our customers. We generally do not lock in or otherwise hedge commodity costs or other costs of goods sold except within certain
customer contracts where the customer bears the risk of cost fluctuation. We believe that our pricing mechanisms provide us with
significant insulation from fluctuations in the cost of goods that we sell. Our inventory turns, on average, every three-and-a-half
weeks, which further protects us from cost fluctuations.

We seek to minimize the effect of higher diesel fuel costs both by reducing fuel usage and by taking action to offset higher fuel
prices. We reduce usage by designing more efficient truck routes and by increasing miles per gallon through on-board computers that
monitor and adjust idling time and maximum speeds and through other technologies. We seek to manage fuel prices through diesel
fuel surcharges to our customers and through the use of costless collars. As of July 2, 2022, we had collars in place for approximately
24% of the gallons we expect to use over the 12 months following July 2, 2022.
Competition
The foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive. Certain of our competitors have greater financial and other
resources than we do. Furthermore, there are two large broadline distributors, Sysco, and US Foods, with national footprints. In
addition, there are numerous regional, local, and specialty distributors. These smaller distributors often align themselves with other
smaller distributors through purchasing cooperatives and marketing groups to enhance their geographic reach, private label offerings,
overall purchasing power, cost efficiencies, and to assemble delivery networks for national or multi-regional distribution. We often do
not have exclusive service agreements with our customers and our customers may switch to other distributors if those distributors can
offer lower prices, differentiated products, or customer service that is perceived to be superior. We believe that most purchasing
decisions in the foodservice business are based on the quality and price of the product and a distributor’s ability to fill orders
completely and accurately and to provide timely deliveries.
We believe we have a competitive advantage over regional and local broadline distributors through economies of scale in
purchasing and procurement, which allow us to offer a broad variety of products (including our proprietary Performance Brands) at
competitive prices to our customers. Our customers benefit from our ability to provide them with extensive geographic coverage as
they continue to grow. We believe we also benefit from supply chain efficiency, including a growing inbound logistics backhaul
network that uses our collective distribution network to deliver inbound products across business segments; best practices in
warehousing, transportation, and risk management; the ability to benefit from the scale of our purchases of items not for resale, such
as trucks, construction materials, insurance, banking relationships, healthcare, and material handling equipment; and the ability to
optimize our networks so that customers are served from the most efficient distribution centers, which minimizes the cost of delivery.
We believe these efficiencies and economies of scale provide opportunities for improvements in our operating margins when
combined with an incremental fixed-cost advantage.
Seasonality
Historically, the food-away-from-home and foodservice distribution industries are seasonal, with lower profit in the first and
third quarters of each calendar year. Consequently, we typically experience lower operating profit during our third fiscal quarter,
depending on the timing of acquisitions, if any. The acquisition of Core-Mark expanded the Company's convenience business which is
expected to result in first fiscal quarter profit higher than historical trends since this channel generally performs stronger in the spring
and summer months. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying impacts have resulted in a disruption to historic
seasonal trends in recent years and may continue to impact seasonal trends in future periods.
Trademarks and Trade Names
We have numerous perpetual trademarks and trade names that are of significant importance, including Core-Mark, West Creek,
Silver Source, Braveheart 100% Black Angus, Empire’s Treasure, Brilliance, Heritage Ovens, Village Garden, Guest House,
Piancone, Luigi’s, Ultimo, Corazo, Assoluti, Peak Fresh Produce, Roma, First Mark, and Nature’s Best Dairy. Although in the
aggregate these trademark and trade names are material to our results of operations, we believe the loss of a trademark or trade name
individually would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. The Company does not have any material patents or
licenses.
Human Capital Resources
One of our primary strategies is to attract, train, develop, and retain talented individuals who feel empowered to fully contribute
their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and innovative ideas to the success of the Company. We also recognize the importance of
keeping our associates safe and healthy, as well as giving them a voice and listening to their concerns and suggestions. Below, we
discuss our efforts to achieve these objectives.
Associates. As of July 2, 2022, our employee population (including employees of our consolidated subsidiaries) totaled
approximately 35,000 full-time and part-time employees in the U.S and Canada. Of that total, approximately 99% were employed on a
full-time basis, and approximately 66% were non-exempt, or paid on an hourly basis.
5

Compensation and Benefits. We believe our base wages and salaries, which we review annually, are fair and competitive with
the external labor markets in which our associates work. We offer incentive programs that provide cash bonus opportunities to
encourage and reward participants for the Company’s achievement of financial and other key performance metrics and strengthen the
connection between pay and performance. We also grant equity compensation awards that vest over time through our long-term
incentive plan to eligible associates to align such associates’ incentives with the Company’s long-term strategic objectives and the
interests of our stockholders.
We also offer competitive benefits to our associates, including paid vacation and holidays, family leave, disability insurance, life
insurance, healthcare, adoption assistance, tuition reimbursement, dependent care flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) plan with a
company match, and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Additionally, we offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that includes
professional support for associates to balance the stress of personal and professional demands at home, in the office, in distribution
centers and on the road.
Workforce Diversity. As a company we are committed to building an inclusive and equitable culture that embraces and
celebrates our associates’ diverse backgrounds and unique experiences. In fiscal 2022, we implemented a Diversity, Inclusion, and
Belonging (DI&B) framework that includes, among other things, a focus on clear leadership roles and accountability, new talent
acquisition practices, employee communities, and inclusive performance management. Our Vice President of DI&B also provides
regular updates to the Company's Board of Directors. With five out of 11 members of the Board representing gender and ethnic
diversity, our commitment to ensure workforce diversity is reflected at every level of the organization connects to our social
responsibility and business imperatives.
Learning and Development. We have an enterprise-wide learning and development strategy that has allowed us to build a
lifelong learning culture by focusing on attracting, retaining and preparing our workforce for success in current roles and developing
our future leaders. Using a blended approach of instructor-led and self-paced training, our associates are provided role-specific
training that is just-in-time, accessible and personalized. The learning journey for our associates starts with an onboarding experience
and continues with individual development opportunities. Our E3 Leadership Development program is designed to provide leadership
training opportunities for all levels of leadership, from entry level to executive, advancing leadership skills at every point of their
career. Through our Learning Management System (LMS), we deliver a variety of required and optional on-demand learning modules
that are linked to an associate’s role with the company, including those modules tied to safety and compliance, such as our Code of
Business Conduct. Additionally, our Foodservice segment continues to provide a sales training program that prepares our sales
associates for success and sets our sales leaders apart to promote long-term customer relationships and positive customer experiences.
We are focused on empowering associates with the right training at the right time, throughout their career journey.
Health, Safety and Wellness. The safety of our associates is paramount. Emphasis on training, safety awareness, behavioral
based work observation practices, telematics, and culture is the foundation in our continuous effort to reduce workplace injuries and
accidents. We continue to focus on the safety of our team members and the motoring public by identifying and addressing safety risks
through education, coaching, and process changes, and by seeking out new systems and technology to help us continue our journey in
keeping our associates safe and our company compliant.
Engagement. We work to build, measure, and enhance associate engagement through a variety of communications and
activities. We participate in, and celebrate, industry efforts such as the International Foodservice Distributors Association’s Truck
Driving Championship and Truck Driver Hall of Fame, highlight locally and internally/externally share significant achievements for
our warehouse associates, and honor the diversity of our associates, along with our customers and communities, by celebrating, among
other things, heritage months. Community support efforts such as Feeding American’s Hunger Action Month, promoting Truckers
Against Trafficking, and supporting American Red Cross disaster relief efforts also provide opportunities to engage our associates. In
response to the results of our first enterprise-wide engagement survey in 2020, we identified and delivered a number of initiatives to
strengthen the associate experience, including day one benefits, the E3 leadership training program, driver and selector career pathing
and enhanced communications channels.
Regulation
Our operations are subject to regulation by state and local health departments, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the
“USDA”), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), which generally impose standards for product quality and
sanitation and are responsible for the administration of bioterrorism legislation affecting the foodservice industry. These government
authorities regulate, among other things, the processing, packaging, storage, distribution, advertising, and labeling of our products. In
2010, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (the “FSMA”) was enacted. The FSMA requires that the FDA impose comprehensive,
prevention-based controls across the food supply chain, further regulates food products imported into the United States, and provides
the FDA with mandatory recall authority. The FSMA requires the FDA to undertake numerous rulemakings and to issue numerous
guidance documents, as well as reports, plans, standards, notices, and other tasks. As a result, implementation of the legislation is
ongoing and likely to take several years. Our seafood operations are also specifically regulated by federal and state laws, including
those administered by the National Marine Fisheries Service, established for the preservation of certain species of marine life,
6
6
including fish and shellfish. Our processing and distribution facilities must be registered with the FDA biennially and are subject to
periodic government agency inspections. State and/or federal authorities generally inspect our facilities at least annually. The Federal
Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, which specifies standards for the sale, shipment, inspection, and rejection of agricultural
products, governs our relationships with our fresh food suppliers with respect to the grading and commercial acceptance of product
shipments. We are also subject to regulation by state authorities for the accuracy of our weighing and measuring devices. Our
suppliers are also subject to similar regulatory requirements and oversight.
The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, administrative, civil, or
criminal penalties or fines, mandatory or voluntary product recalls, warning or untitled letters, cease and desist orders against
operations that are not in compliance, closure of facilities or operations, the loss, revocation, or modification of any existing licenses,
permits, registrations, or approvals, or the failure to obtain additional licenses, permits, registrations, or approvals in new jurisdictions
where we intend to do business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of
operations. These laws and regulations may change in the future and we may incur material costs in our efforts to comply with current
or future laws and regulations or in any required product recalls.
Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local laws and other requirements, including, employment practice
standards for workers set by the U.S. Department of Labor, and relating to the protection of the environment and the safety and health
of personnel and the public. These include requirements regarding the use, storage, and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and
petroleum products, including food processing wastes, the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, and worker safety and health
practices and procedures. In order to comply with environmental, health, and safety requirements, we may be required to spend money
to monitor, maintain, upgrade, or replace our equipment; plan for certain contingencies; acquire or maintain environmental permits;
file periodic reports with regulatory authorities; or investigate and clean up contamination. We operate and maintain vehicle fleets, and
some of our distribution centers have regulated underground and aboveground storage tanks for diesel fuel and other petroleum
products. Some jurisdictions in which we operate have laws that affect the composition and operation of our truck fleet, such as limits
on diesel emissions and engine idling. A number of our facilities have ammonia- or freon-based refrigeration systems, which could
cause injury or environmental damage if accidentally released, and many of our distribution centers have propane or battery powered
forklifts. Proposed or recently enacted legal requirements, such as those requiring the phase-out of certain ozone-depleting substances
and proposals for the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, may require us to upgrade or replace equipment, or may increase our
transportation or other operating costs. To date, our cost of compliance with environmental, health, and safety requirements has not
been material. The discovery of contamination for which we are responsible, any accidental release of regulated materials, the
enactment of new laws and regulations, or changes in how existing requirements are enforced could require us to incur additional
costs or subject us to unexpected liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results
of operations.
The Surface Transportation Board and the Federal Highway Administration regulate our trucking operations. In addition,
interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety requirements prescribed in the U.S. Department of Transportation and other
relevant federal and state agencies. Such matters as weight and dimension of equipment are also subject to federal and state
regulations. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements relating to our motor carrier
operations. Failure to comply with the applicable motor carrier regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our
operating permits.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
Periods of difficult economic conditions, a public health crisis, such as the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, other
macroeconomic events and heightened uncertainty in the financial markets affect consumer spending and confidence, which
can adversely affect our business.
The foodservice industry is sensitive to national and regional economic conditions. Our business could be negatively impacted by
reduced demand for our products related to unfavorable macroeconomic conditions triggered by developments beyond our control,
including geopolitical events, health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other events that trigger economic volatility on a
national or regional basis. In particular, deteriorating economic conditions and heightened uncertainty in the financial markets,
inflationary pressure, and supply chain disruptions, such as those the global economy is currently facing, negatively affect consumer
confidence and discretionary spending. In fiscal 2022, product cost inflation contributed to an increase in selling price per case and an
increase in net sales. However, sustained inflationary pressure and macroeconomic challenges could negatively affect consumer
discretionary spending decisions within our customers’ establishments, which could negatively impact our sales The extent of any such
effects on consumer spending depends in part on the magnitude and duration of such conditions, which cannot be predicted at this time.
Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had widespread, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society,
economies, financial markets, and business practices. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the
extent of its effect on our business, operations and financial performance will depend on future developments that remain uncertain and
cannot be predicted, including the duration of the outbreak, the emergence and spread of variants, the effectiveness and outreach of
vaccines, infection rates in areas where we operate, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States, changes to the regulatory
regimes under which we operate, the extent and effectiveness of actions taken in United States to contain and treat the disease and
whether the United States is required to move to complete lock-down status, and the impact on economic activity including the possibility
of recession or financial market instability.
To the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our business and financial results, it may also have
the effect of heightening many other risks described in this section, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business,
results of operations, and financial condition.
We rely on third-party suppliers, and our business may be affected by interruption of supplies or increases in product costs.
We obtain substantially all of our foodservice and related products from third-party suppliers. We typically do not have long-
term contracts with our suppliers. Although our purchasing volume can sometimes provide an advantage when dealing with suppliers,
suppliers may not provide the foodservice products and supplies needed by us in the quantities and at the prices requested. Our
suppliers may also be affected by higher costs to source or produce and transport food products, as well as by other related expenses
that they pass through to their customers, which could result in higher costs for the products they supply to us. Because we do not
control the actual production of most of the products we sell, we are also subject to material supply chain interruptions, delays caused
by interruption in production, and increases in product costs, including those resulting from product recalls or a need to find alternate
materials or suppliers, based on conditions outside our control. These conditions include labor shortages, work slowdowns, work
interruptions, strikes or other job actions by employees of suppliers, weather conditions or more prolonged climate change, crop
conditions, water shortages, transportation interruptions, unavailability of fuel or increases in fuel costs, competitive demands,
contamination with mold, bacteria or other contaminants, and natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including, the outbreak of
e. coli or similar food borne illnesses or bioterrorism in the United States. Additionally, our suppliers could be adversely impacted by
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If our suppliers’ employees are unable to work, whether because of illness, quarantine, limitations
on travel or other government restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, or if or suppliers experience labor shortages,
we could face shortages in the products we sell and our operations and sales could be adversely impacted by such future supply
interruptions. Our inability to obtain adequate supplies of foodservice and related products as a result of any of the foregoing factors or
otherwise could mean that we could not fulfill our obligations to our customers and, as a result, our customers may turn to other
distributors. Our inability to anticipate and react to changing food costs through our sourcing and purchasing practices in the future
could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We face risks relating to labor relations, labor costs, and the availability of qualified labor.
As of July 2, 2022, we had more than 35,000 employees of whom approximately 1,600 were members of local unions associated
with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters or other unions. Although our labor contract negotiations have in the past generally
taken place with the local union representatives, we may be subject to increased efforts to engage us in multi-unit bargaining that
could subject us to the risk of multi-location labor disputes or work stoppages that would place us at greater risk of being materially
adversely affected by labor disputes. In addition, labor organizing activities could result in additional employees becoming unionized,
8
8
which could result in higher labor costs. Although we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or work stoppages in recent
history, and we believe we have satisfactory relationships with our employees, including those who are union members, increased
unionization or a work stoppage because of our failure to renegotiate union contracts could have a material adverse effect on us.
We are subject to a wide range of labor costs. Because our labor costs are, as a percentage of net sales, higher than in many
other industries, we may be significantly harmed by labor cost increases. In addition, labor is a significant cost for many of our
customers in the U.S. food-away-from-home industry. Any increase in their labor costs, including any increases in costs as a result of
increases in minimum wage requirements, could reduce the profitability of our customers and reduce demand for our products.
We rely heavily on our employees, particularly warehouse workers and drivers, and any significant shortage of qualified labor
could significantly affect our business. Our recruiting and retention efforts and efforts to increase productivity may not be successful
and we could encounter a shortage of qualified labor in future periods. Any such shortage would decrease our ability to serve our
customers effectively. Such a shortage would also likely lead to higher wages for employees and a corresponding reduction in our
profitability. The current competitive labor market has impacted the Company’s ability to hire and retain qualified labor, particularly
warehouse workers and drivers, in certain geographies, resulting in an $81.2 million increase in temporary contract labor costs and
associated travel expenses for fiscal 2022. Additionally, if our employees are unable to work, whether because of illness, quarantine,
limitations on travel or other government restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we could face additional shortages
of qualified labor and higher labor costs.
Further, we continue to assess our healthcare benefit costs. Despite our efforts to control costs while still providing competitive
healthcare benefits to our associates, significant increases in healthcare costs continue to occur, and we can provide no assurance that
our cost containment efforts in this area will be effective. Our distributors and suppliers also may be affected by higher minimum
wage and benefit standards, which could result in higher costs for goods and services supplied to us. If we are unable to raise our
prices or cut other costs to cover this expense, such increases in expenses could materially reduce our operating profit.
Competition in our industry is intense, and we may not be able to compete successfully.
The foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive. Certain of our competitors have greater financial and other
resources than we do. Furthermore, there are two larger broadline distributors, Sysco and US Foods, with national footprints. In
addition, there are numerous regional, local, and specialty distributors. These smaller distributors often align themselves with other
smaller distributors through purchasing cooperatives and marketing groups to enhance their geographic reach, private label offerings,
overall purchasing power, cost efficiencies and to assemble delivery networks for national or multi-regional distribution. We often do
not have exclusive service agreements with our customers and our customers may switch to other distributors if those distributors can
offer lower prices, differentiated products, or customer service that is perceived to be superior. We believe that most purchasing
decisions in the foodservice business are based on the quality and price of the product and a distributor’s ability to fill orders
completely and accurately and provide timely deliveries. We cannot assure you that our current or potential, future competitors will
not provide products or services that are comparable or superior to those provided by us or adapt more quickly than we do to evolving
trends or changing market requirements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively against current
and potential, future competitors, and increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins, and loss of market
share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We operate in a low margin industry, which could increase the volatility of our results of operations.
Similar to other resale-based industries, the distribution industry is characterized by relatively low profit margins. These low
profit margins tend to increase the volatility of our reported net income since any decline in our net sales or increase in our costs that
is small relative to our total net sales or costs may have a large impact on our net income.
Volatile food costs may have a direct impact upon our profitability.
We make a significant portion of our sales at prices that are based on the cost of products we sell plus a percentage markup. As a
result, volatile food costs may have a direct impact upon our profitability. Our profit levels may be negatively affected during periods
of product cost deflation, even though our gross profit percentage may remain relatively constant or even increase. Prolonged periods
of product cost inflation also may have a negative impact on our profit margins and earnings to the extent such product cost increases
are not passed on to customers because of their resistance to higher prices. For example, the impact of current economic conditions
has resulted in inflation of 11.9% for fiscal 2022, which has had, and could continue to have, an impact our product costs and profit
margins. Furthermore, our business model requires us to maintain an inventory of products, and changes in price levels between the
time that we acquire inventory from our suppliers and the time we sell the inventory to our customers could lead to unexpected shifts
in demand for our products or could require us to sell inventory at lesser profit or a loss. In addition, product cost inflation may
negatively affect consumer discretionary spending decisions within our customers’ establishments, which could negatively impact our
sales. Our inability to quickly respond to inflationary and deflationary cost pressures could have a material adverse impact on our
business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Many of our customers are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us.
Many of our customers buy from us pursuant to individual purchase orders, and we often do not enter into long-term agreements
with these customers. Because such customers are not obligated to continue purchasing products from us, we cannot assure you that
the volume and/or number of our customers’ purchase orders will remain constant or increase or that we will be able to maintain our
existing customer base. Significant decreases in the volume and/or number of our customers’ purchase orders or our inability to retain
or grow our current customer base may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Group purchasing organizations may become more active in our industry and increase their efforts to add our customers as
members of these organizations.
Some of our customers, particularly our larger customers, purchase their products from us through group purchasing
organizations (“GPOs”) in an effort to lower the prices paid by these customers on their foodservice orders, and we have experienced
some pricing pressure from these purchasers. These GPOs have also made efforts to include smaller, independent restaurants. If these
GPOs are able to add a significant number of our customers as members, we may be forced to lower the prices we charge these
customers in order to retain their business, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Additionally, if we are unable or unwilling to lower the prices we charge for our products to a level that is satisfactory to the GPOs,
we may lose the business of those customers that are members of these organizations, which could have a material adverse impact on
our business, financial condition, or results of operations
Changes in consumer eating habits could reduce the demand for our products.
Changes in consumer eating habits (such as a decline in consuming food away from home, a decline in portion sizes, or a shift
in preferences toward restaurants that are not our customers) could reduce demand for our products, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, or results of operations. Consumer eating habits could be affected by a number of factors, including
changes in attitudes regarding diet and health or new information regarding the health effects of consuming certain foods. There is a
growing consumer preference for sustainable, organic and locally grown products, and a shift towards plant-based proteins and/or
animal proteins derived from animals that were humanely treated and antibiotic free. If consumer eating habits change significantly,
we may be required to modify or discontinue sales of certain items in our product portfolio, and we may experience higher costs
associated with the implementation of those changes. Changing consumer eating habits may reduce the frequency with which
consumers purchase meals outside of the home.
Additionally, changes in consumer eating habits may result in the enactment of laws and regulations that affect the ingredients
and nutritional content of our food products, or laws and regulations requiring us to disclose the nutritional content of our food
products. Compliance with these laws and regulations, as well as others regarding the ingredients and nutritional content of our food
products, may be costly and time-consuming. Our inability to effectively respond to changes in food away from home consumer
trends, consumer health perceptions or resulting new laws or regulations or to adapt our menu offerings to trends in eating habits could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Extreme weather conditions and natural disasters may interrupt our business or our customers’ businesses.
Many of our facilities and our customers’ facilities are located in areas that may be subject to extreme and occasionally
prolonged weather conditions, including hurricanes, blizzards, earthquakes, and extreme heat or cold. Such extreme weather
conditions, whether caused by global climate change or otherwise, may interrupt our operations and reduce the number of consumers
who visit our customers’ facilities in such areas. Furthermore, such extreme weather conditions may interrupt or impede access to our
customers’ facilities, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Fluctuations in fuel prices and other transportation costs could harm our business.
The high cost of fuel can negatively affect consumer confidence and discretionary spending and, as a result, reduce the
frequency and amount spent by consumers within our customers’ establishments for food away from home. The high price of fuel and
other transportation related costs, such as tolls, fuel taxes, and license and registration fees, can also increase the price we pay for
products as well as the costs incurred by us to deliver products to our customers. Furthermore, both the price and supply of fuel are
unpredictable and fluctuate based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil and
gas, actions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing
countries and regions, regional production patterns, and environmental concerns. These factors, if occurring over an extended period
of time, could have a material adverse effect on our sales, margins, operating expenses, or results of operations. For example, in fiscal
2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine had a significant impact on fuel supply and fuel prices. The United States experienced
significant increases in fuel prices and, as a result, the Company's fuel expense increased $90.9 million in fiscal 2022 compared to
fiscal 2021.
10
10
From time to time, we may enter into arrangements to manage our exposure to fuel costs. Such arrangements, however, may not
be effective and may result in us paying higher than market costs for a portion of our fuel. In addition, while we have been successful
in the past in implementing fuel surcharges to offset fuel cost increases, we may not be able to do so in the future.
In addition, compliance with current and future environmental laws and regulations relating to carbon emissions and the effects
of global warming can be expected to have a significant impact on our transportation costs, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
If one or more of our competitors implements a lower cost structure, they may be able to offer lower prices to customers and
we may be unable to adjust our cost structure in order to compete profitably.
Over the last several decades, the retail food industry has undergone significant change as companies such as Wal-Mart and
Costco have developed a lower cost structure to provide their customer base with an everyday low-cost product offering. As a large-
scale foodservice distributor, we have similar strategies to remain competitive in the marketplace by reducing our cost structure.
However, if one or more of our competitors in the foodservice distribution industry adopted an everyday low-price strategy, we would
potentially be pressured to lower prices to our customers and would need to achieve additional cost savings to offset these reductions.
We may be unable to change our cost structure and pricing practices rapidly enough to successfully compete in such an environment.
If we fail to increase our sales in the highest margin portions of our business, our profitability may suffer.
Distribution is a relatively low margin industry. The most profitable customers within the distribution industry are generally
independent customers. In addition, our most profitable products are our Performance Brands. We typically provide a higher level of
services to our independent customers and are able to earn a higher operating margin on sales to independent customers. Independent
customers are also more likely to purchase our Performance Brands. Our ability to continue to penetrate this key customer type is
critical to achieving increased operating profits. Changes in the buying practices of independent customers or decreases in our sales to
independent customers or a decrease in the sales of our Performance Brands could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, or results of operations.
Changes in pricing practices of our suppliers could negatively affect our profitability.
Distributors have traditionally generated a significant percentage of their gross margins from promotional allowances paid by
their suppliers. Promotional allowances are payments from suppliers based upon the efficiencies that the distributor provides to its
suppliers through purchasing scale and through marketing and merchandising expertise. Promotional allowances are a standard
practice among suppliers to distributors and represent a significant source of profitability for us and our competitors. Any change in
such practices that results in the reduction or elimination of promotional allowances could be disruptive to us and the industry as a
whole and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Our growth strategy may not achieve the anticipated results.
Our future success will depend on our ability to grow our business, including through increasing our independent sales,
expanding our Performance Brands, making strategic acquisitions, and achieving improved operating efficiencies as we continue to
expand and diversify our customer base. Our growth and innovation strategies require significant commitments of management
resources and capital investments and may not grow our net sales at the rate we expect or at all. As a result, we may not be able to
recover the costs incurred in developing our new projects and initiatives or to realize their intended or projected benefits, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operation.
We may not be able to realize benefits of acquisitions or successfully integrate the businesses we acquire.
From time to time, we acquire businesses that are intended to broaden our customer base, and/or increase our capabilities and
geographic reach. If we are unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully or to realize anticipated economic, operational, and
other benefits and synergies in a timely manner, our profitability could be adversely affected. Integration of an acquired business may
be more difficult when we acquire a business in a market in which we have limited expertise or with a company culture different from
ours. A significant expansion of our business and operations, in terms of geography or magnitude, could strain our administrative and
operational resources. Additionally, we may be unable to retain qualified management and other key personnel employed by acquired
companies and may fail to build a network of acquired companies in new markets. We could face significantly greater competition
from broadline foodservice distributors in these markets than we face in our existing markets.
11
11
We also regularly evaluate opportunities to acquire other companies. To the extent our future growth includes acquisitions, we
cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any necessary financing for such acquisitions, consummate such potential acquisitions
effectively, effectively and efficiently integrate any acquired entities, or successfully expand into new markets.
Our earnings may be reduced by amortization charges associated with any future acquisitions.
After we complete an acquisition, we must amortize any identifiable intangible assets associated with the acquired company
over future periods. We also must amortize any identifiable intangible assets that we acquire directly. Our amortization of these
amounts reduces our future earnings in the affected periods.
Our business is subject to significant governmental regulation, and costs or claims related to these requirements could
adversely affect our business.
Our operations are subject to regulation by state and local health departments, the USDA, and the FDA, which generally impose
standards for product quality and sanitation and are responsible for the administration of bioterrorism legislation affecting the
foodservice industry. These government authorities regulate, among other things, the processing, packaging, storage, distribution,
advertising, and labeling of our products. The FSMA requires that the FDA impose comprehensive, prevention-based controls across
the food supply, further regulates food products imported into the United States, and provides the FDA with mandatory recall
authority. Our seafood operations are also specifically regulated by federal and state laws, including those administered by the
National Marine Fisheries Service, established for the preservation of certain species of marine life, including fish and shellfish. Our
processing and distribution facilities must be registered with the FDA biennially and are subject to periodic government agency
inspections. State and/or federal authorities generally inspect our facilities at least annually. The Federal Perishable Agricultural
Commodities Act, which specifies standards for the sale, shipment, inspection, and rejection of agricultural products, governs our
relationships with our fresh food suppliers with respect to the grading and commercial acceptance of product shipments. We are also
subject to regulation by state authorities for the accuracy of our weighing and measuring devices. Additionally, the Surface
Transportation Board and the Federal Highway Administration regulate our trucking operations, and interstate motor carrier
operations are subject to safety requirements prescribed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and other relevant federal and state
agencies. Our suppliers are also subject to similar regulatory requirements and oversight. We have expanded the product lines of our
Vistar segment to include hemp-based CBD products authorized under the 2018 Farm Bill. Sales of certain hemp-based CBD products
are prohibited in some jurisdictions and the FDA and certain states and local governments may enact regulations that limit the
marketing and use of such products. In the event that the FDA or state and local governments impose regulations on CBD products,
we do not know what the impact would be on our products, and what costs, requirements, and possible prohibitions may be associated
with such regulations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in, among other things,
administrative, civil, or criminal penalties or fines; mandatory or voluntary product recalls; warning or untitled letters; cease and desist
orders against operations that are not in compliance; closure of facilities or operations; the loss, revocation, or modification of any
existing licenses, permits, registrations, or approvals; or the failure to obtain additional licenses, permits, registrations, or approvals in
new jurisdictions where we intend to do business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, or results of operations. These laws and regulations may change in the future and we may incur material costs in our efforts
to comply with current or future laws and regulations or in any required product recalls.
In addition, our operations are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations in many areas of our business,
such as, minimum wage, overtime, wage payment, wage and hour and employment discrimination, immigration, human health and
safety and relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air, soil, and
water; the management and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and wastes; employee exposure to hazards in the workplace; and
the investigation and remediation of contamination resulting from releases of petroleum products and other regulated materials. In the
course of our operations, we operate, maintain, and fuel fleet vehicles; store fuel in on-site above and underground storage tanks;
operate refrigeration systems; and use and dispose of hazardous substances and food wastes. We could incur substantial costs,
including fines or penalties and third-party claims for property damage or personal injury, as a result of any violations of
environmental or workplace safety laws and regulations or releases of regulated materials into the environment. In addition, we could
incur investigation, remediation, or other costs related to environmental conditions at our currently or formerly owned or operated
properties. Additionally, concern over climate change, including the impact of global warming, has led to significant U.S. and
international legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Increased regulation regarding greenhouse gas
emissions, especially diesel engine emissions, could impose substantial costs upon us. These costs include an increase in the cost of
the fuel and other energy we purchase, and capital costs associated with updating or replacing our vehicles prematurely.
Finally, we are subject to legislation, regulation and other matters regarding the marketing, distribution, sale, taxation and use of
cigarette, tobacco and alternative nicotine products. For example, various jurisdictions have adopted or are considering legislation and
regulations restricting displays and marketing of tobacco and alternative nicotine products, requiring the disclosure of ingredients used
in the manufacture of tobacco and alternative nicotine products, and imposing restrictions on public smoking and vaping. In addition,
12
12
the FDA has been empowered to regulate changes to nicotine yields and the chemicals and flavors used in tobacco and alternative
nicotine products (including cigars, pipe and e-cigarette products), require ingredient listings be displayed on tobacco and alternative
nicotine products, prohibit the use of certain terms which may attract youth or mislead users as to the risks involved with using
tobacco and alternative nicotine products, as well as limit or otherwise impact the marketing of tobacco and alternative nicotine
products by requiring additional labels or warnings that must be pre-approved by the FDA. Such legislation and related regulation are
likely to continue to adversely impact the market for tobacco and alternative nicotine products and, accordingly, our sales of such
products. Likewise, cigarettes and tobacco products are subject to substantial excise taxes. Significant increases in cigarette-related
taxes and/or fees have been proposed or enacted and are likely to continue to be proposed or enacted by various taxing jurisdictions
within the U.S. These tax increases negatively impact consumption and may cause a shift in sales from premium brands to discount
brands, illicit channels, or tobacco alternatives, such as electronic cigarettes, as smokers seek lower priced options. Furthermore,
taxing jurisdictions have the ability to change or rescind credit terms currently extended for the remittance of taxes that we collect on
their behalf. If these excise taxes are substantially increased, or credit terms are substantially reduced, it could have a negative impact
on our liquidity.
A significant portion of our sales volume is dependent upon the distribution of cigarettes and other tobacco products, sales of
which are generally declining.
Following the acquisitions of Eby-Brown Company LLC (“Eby-Brown”) and Core-Mark, a significant portion of our sales
volume depends upon the distribution of cigarettes and other tobacco products. Due to increases in the prices of cigarettes, restrictions
on cigarette manufacturers’ marketing and promotions, increases in cigarette regulation and excise taxes, health concerns, increased
pressure from anti-tobacco groups, the rise in popularity of tobacco alternatives, including electronic cigarettes and other alternative
nicotine products, and other factors, cigarette consumption in the United States has been declining gradually over the past few
decades. In many instances, tobacco alternatives, such as electronic cigarettes, are not subject to federal, state, and local excise taxes
like the sale of conventional cigarettes or other tobacco products. We expect consumption trends of legal cigarette products will
continue to be negatively impacted by the factors described above. If we are unable to sell other products to make up for these declines
in cigarette sales, our operating results may suffer.
If the products we distribute are alleged to cause injury or illness or fail to comply with governmental regulations, we may
need to recall our products and may experience product liability claims.
The products we distribute may be subject to product recalls, including voluntary recalls or withdrawals, if they are alleged to
cause injury or illness or if they are alleged to have been mislabeled, misbranded, or adulterated or to otherwise be in violation of
governmental regulations. We may also voluntarily recall or withdraw products that we consider not to meet our quality standards,
whether for taste, appearance, or otherwise, in order to protect our brand and reputation. If there is any future product withdrawal that
results in substantial and unexpected expenditures, destruction of product inventory, damage to our reputation, and lost sales because
of the unavailability of the product for a period of time, our business, financial condition, or results of operations may be materially
adversely affected.
We also may be subject to product liability claims if the consumption or use of our products is alleged to cause injury or illness.
While we carry product liability insurance, our insurance may not be adequate to cover all liabilities we may incur in connection with
product liability claims. For example, punitive damages may not be covered by insurance. In addition, we may not be able to continue
to maintain our existing insurance, to obtain comparable insurance at a reasonable cost, if at all, or to secure additional coverage,
which may result in future product liability claims being uninsured. If there is a product liability judgment against us or a settlement
agreement related to a product liability claim, our business, financial condition, or results of operations may be materially adversely
affected.
We may be subject to or affected by product liability claims relating to products we distribute.
We, like any other seller of food, may be exposed to product liability claims in the event that the use of products we sell causes
injury or illness. While we believe we have sufficient primary and excess umbrella liability insurance with respect to product liability
claims we cannot assure you that our limits are sufficient to cover all our liabilities or that we will be able to obtain replacement
insurance on comparable terms, and any replacement insurance or our current insurance may not continue to be available at a
reasonable cost, or, if available, may not be adequate to cover all of our liabilities. We generally seek contractual indemnification and
insurance coverage from parties supplying products to us, but this indemnification or insurance coverage is limited, as a practical
matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party and the insured limits of any insurance provided by suppliers. If we do not
have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification available, product liability relating to defective products could adversely affect
our profitability.
13
13
We rely heavily on technology in our business and any technology disruption or delay in implementing new technology could
adversely affect our business.
The foodservice distribution industry is transaction intensive. Our ability to control costs and to maximize profits, as well as to
serve customers effectively, depends on the reliability of our information technology systems and related data entry processes. We rely
on software and other technology systems, some of which are managed by third-party service providers, to manage significant aspects
of our business, including making purchases, processing orders, managing our warehouses, loading trucks in the most efficient
manner, and optimizing the use of storage space. The failure of our information technology systems to perform as we anticipate could
disrupt our business and could result in transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, and the loss of sales and customers, causing our
business and results of operations to suffer. In addition, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or
interruption from circumstances beyond our control, including fire, natural disasters, power outages, systems failures, security
breaches, cyber-attacks, and viruses. While we have invested and continue to invest in technology security initiatives and disaster
recovery plans, these measures cannot fully insulate us from technology disruption that could result in adverse effects on our
operations and profits.
Information technology systems evolve rapidly and in order to compete effectively we are required to integrate new
technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner. If competitors implement new technologies before we do, allowing such
competitors to provide lower priced or enhanced services of superior quality compared to those we provide, this could have an adverse
effect on our operations and profits.
A cyber security incident or other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with
customers.
We rely upon information technology networks and systems to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and to
manage or support virtually all of our business processes and activities. We also use mobile devices, social networking, and other
online activities to connect with our employees, suppliers, business partners, and customers. These uses give rise to cybersecurity
risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft, and inadvertent release of information. Our business involves the
storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including
customers’ and suppliers’ personal information, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us
and our business partners. We have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and other cyber incidents, and, to date,
interruption of our information technology networks and systems have been infrequent and have not had a material impact on our
operations. However, because cyber-attacks are increasingly sophisticated and more frequent, our preventative measures and incident
response efforts may not be entirely effective. Additionally, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a substantial portion of our
corporate employees continue to work remotely using smartphones, tablets, and other wireless devices, which may further heighten
these and other operational risks. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, release of sensitive and/or confidential information or
intellectual property, or interference with our information technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we
rely could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential
liability, and competitive disadvantage.
Adverse judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved in the normal course of our
business could reduce our profits or limit our ability to operate our business.
In the normal course of our business, we are involved in various legal proceedings. The outcome of these proceedings cannot be
predicted. If any of these proceedings were to be determined adversely to us or a settlement involving a payment of a material sum of
money were to occur, it could materially and adversely affect our profits or ability to operate our business. Additionally, we could
become the subject of future claims by third parties, including our employees; suppliers, customers, and other counterparties; our
investors; or regulators. Any significant adverse judgments or settlements would reduce our profits and could limit our ability to
operate our business. Further, we may incur costs related to claims for which we have appropriate third-party indemnity, but such third
parties may fail to fulfill their contractual obligations.
Adverse publicity about us, lack of confidence in our products or services, and other risks could negatively affect our
reputation and affect our business.
Maintaining a good reputation and public confidence in the safety of the products we distribute or services we provide is critical
to our business, particularly to selling our Performance Brands products. Anything that damages our reputation, or the public’s
confidence in our products, services, facilities, delivery fleet, operations, or employees, whether or not justified, including adverse
publicity about the quality, safety, or integrity of our products, could quickly affect our net sales and profits. Reports, whether true or
not, of food-borne illnesses or harmful bacteria (such as e. coli, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, hepatitis A, trichinosis, listeria, or
salmonella) and injuries caused by food tampering could also severely injure our reputation or negatively affect the public’s
confidence in our products. We may need to recall our products if they become adulterated. If patrons of our restaurant customers
14
14
become ill from food-borne illnesses, our customers could be forced to temporarily close restaurant locations and our sales would be
correspondingly decreased. In addition, instances of food-borne illnesses, food tampering, or other health concerns, such as flu
epidemics or other pandemics (including COVID-19), even those unrelated to the use of our products, or public concern regarding the
safety of our products, can result in negative publicity about the foodservice distribution industry and cause our sales to decrease
dramatically. In addition, a widespread health epidemic (such as COVID-19) or food-borne illness, whether or not related to the use of
our products, as well as terrorist events may cause consumers to avoid public gathering places, like restaurants, or otherwise change
their eating behaviors. Health concerns and negative publicity may harm our results of operations and damage the reputation of, or
result in a lack of acceptance of, our products or the brands that we carry or the services that we provide.
We have experienced losses because of the inability to collect accounts receivable in the past and could experience increases in
such losses in the future if our customers are unable to pay their debts to us when due.
Certain of our customers have from time to time experienced bankruptcy, insolvency, and/or an inability to pay their debts to us
as they come due. If our customers suffer significant financial difficulty, they may be unable to pay their debts to us timely or at all,
which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. It is possible that customers may contest their contractual
obligations to us under bankruptcy laws or otherwise. Significant customer bankruptcies could further adversely affect our net sales
and increase our operating expenses by requiring larger provisions for bad debt expense. In addition, even when our contracts with
these customers are not contested, if customers are unable to meet their obligations on a timely basis, it could adversely affect our
ability to collect receivables. Further, we may have to negotiate significant discounts and/or extended financing terms with these
customers in such a situation. If we are unable to collect upon our accounts receivable as they come due in an efficient and timely
manner, our business, financial condition, or results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
Insurance and claims expenses could significantly reduce our profitability.
Our future insurance and claims expenses might exceed historic levels, which could reduce our profitability. We maintain high-
deductible insurance programs covering portions of general and vehicle liability and workers’ compensation. The amount in excess of
the deductibles is insured by third-party insurance carriers, subject to certain limitations and exclusions. We also maintain self-funded
group medical insurance.
We reserve for anticipated losses and expenses and periodically evaluate and adjust our claims reserves to reflect our
experience. However, ultimate results may differ from our estimates, which could result in losses over our reserved amounts.
Although we believe our aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover reasonably expected claims costs, it is possible
that the amount of one or more claims could exceed our aggregate coverage limits. Insurance carriers have raised premiums for many
businesses in our industry, including ours, and our insurance and claims expense could continue to increase in the future. Our results
of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected if (1) total claims costs significantly exceed our
coverage limits, (2) we experience a claim in excess of our coverage limits, (3) our insurance carriers fail to pay on our insurance
claims, (4) we experience a claim for which coverage is not provided or (5) a large number of claims may cause our cost under our
deductibles to differ from historic averages.
Risks Related to the Integration of Core-Mark
We may be unable to successfully integrate the businesses and realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Core-Mark.
The success of the Core-Mark acquisition will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to successfully combine Core-Mark with
our business and realize the anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation and operational efficiencies, from the
combination. If we are unable to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits may not
be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected and the value of our common stock may be harmed.
15
15
The integration of Core-Mark with our existing business is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. We have not
previously completed a transaction comparable in size or scope to the Core-Mark acquisition. The integration of Core-Mark into our
business may result in material challenges, including, without limitation:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns and performance shortfalls as a result of the
devotion of management’s attention to the integration of Core-Mark;
managing a larger company;
the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process;
retaining existing business and operational relationships and attracting new business and operational relationships;
consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations;
coordinating geographically separate organizations;
unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications and other systems;
unanticipated changes in federal or state laws or regulations; and
unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the integration of Core-Mark.
Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in delays, increased costs, decreases in the
amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could materially affect our financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
We expect to incur substantial expenses related to the integration of Core-Mark.
We expect to incur substantial expenses in connection with the integration of Core-Mark’s business. There are a large number of
processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated, including purchasing, accounting and
finance, sales, payroll, pricing, revenue management, marketing and benefits. In addition, our and Core-Mark’s businesses will
continue to maintain a presence in Richmond, Virginia and Westlake, Texas, respectively. The substantial majority of these costs will
be facilities and systems consolidation costs. We may incur additional costs to maintain employee morale and to attract, motivate or
retain management personnel and other key employees. We will also incur costs related to formulating integration plans for the
combined business, and the execution of these plans may lead to additional unanticipated costs. These incremental merger-related
costs may exceed the savings the Company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative costs and the realization of other
efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, particularly in the near term and in the event there are material unanticipated
costs.
Our future results may be adversely impacted if we do not effectively manage our expanded operations.
Following the completion of the acquisition of Core-Mark, the size of our business is significantly larger than it was prior to the
acquisition. Our ability to successfully manage this expanded business will depend, in part, upon management’s ability to design and
implement strategic initiatives that address not only the integration of two independent stand-alone companies, but also the increased
scale and scope of the combined business with its associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that we will
be successful or that we will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings and other benefits currently anticipated from the
acquisition of Core-Mark.
Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness
Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to
react to changes in the economy or in our industry, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt, and
prevent us from meeting our obligations under our indebtedness.
As of July 2, 2022, we had $4,355.4 million of indebtedness, including finance lease obligations. In addition, we had $2,201.1
million of availability under the ABL Facility (as defined below under "- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Financing Activities in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K ("Item 7")") after giving effect to
$190.5 million of outstanding letters of credit and $104.4 million of lenders’ reserves under the ABL Facility.
16
16
Our high degree of leverage could have important consequences for us, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
requiring us to utilize a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to make payments on our indebtedness,
reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, development activity, and other
general corporate purposes;
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry, or competitive developments;
exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates to the extent our borrowings are at variable rates of interest;
making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with
the obligations of any of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in an
event of default under the agreements governing our indebtedness;
restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product development, debt
service requirements, acquisitions, and general corporate or other purposes; and
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or market conditions and placing us at a
competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less highly leveraged and who, therefore, may be able to
take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting.
A substantial portion of our indebtedness is floating rate debt. As interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on such
indebtedness increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash
available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. In addition, interest on the ABL Facility is calculated based
on LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) announced that it will no longer require banks to
submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration
(“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, announced that it will cease publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR tenors as of June 30, 2023, for
the most common tenors (overnight and one, three, six and twelve months). Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, IBA ceased
publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR tenors for less common tenors (one week and two months) as well as all tenors of non-U.S. dollar
LIBOR as of December 31, 2021. The ABL Facility provides for the use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a
replacement rate upon a LIBOR cessation event. SOFR is a relatively new reference rate and has a very limited history. The future
performance of SOFR cannot be predicted based on its limited historical performance. Since the initial publication of SOFR in April
2018, changes in SOFR have, on occasion, been more volatile than changes in other benchmark or market rates, such as U.S. dollar
LIBOR. Additionally, any successor rate to SOFR under the ABL Facility may not have the same characteristics as SOFR or LIBOR.
As a result, the consequences of the phase-out of LIBOR cannot be entirely predicted at this time.
We may elect to enter into interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to floating interest rates as described below under “—We
may utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on our
variable rate indebtedness and we will be exposed to risks related to counterparty creditworthiness or non-performance of
these instruments.” However, we may not maintain interest rate swaps with respect to all of our variable rate indebtedness, and any
swaps we enter into may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk.
Servicing our indebtedness will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many
factors, some of which are not within our control.
Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to
generate cash in the future. To a certain extent, this ability is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative,
regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt and to
meet our other commitments, we may need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, sell material assets or operations, or
raise additional debt or equity capital. We may not be able to affect any of these actions on a timely basis, on commercially reasonable
terms, or at all, and these actions may not be sufficient to meet our capital requirements. In addition, any refinancing of our
indebtedness could be at a higher interest rate, and the terms of our existing or future debt arrangements may restrict us from effecting
any of these alternatives. Our failure to make the required interest and principal payments on our indebtedness would result in an event
of default under the agreement governing such indebtedness, which may result in the acceleration of some or all of our outstanding
indebtedness.
17
17
Despite our high indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries will still be able to incur significant additional amounts of debt,
which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the agreements
governing our indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number
of significant qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, the amount of indebtedness that could be incurred in
compliance with these restrictions could be substantial.
The agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our
business.
The agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified
types of transactions. These covenants limit the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
incur, assume, or permit to exist additional indebtedness or guarantees;
incur liens;
make investments and loans;
pay dividends, make payments, or redeem or repurchase capital stock;
engage in mergers, liquidations, dissolutions, asset sales, and other dispositions (including sale leaseback transactions);
amend or otherwise alter terms of certain indebtedness;
enter into agreements limiting subsidiary distributions or containing negative pledge clauses;
engage in certain transactions with affiliates;
alter the business that we conduct;
change our fiscal year; and
engage in any activities other than permitted activities.
As a result of these restrictions, we are limited as to how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debt
or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of any future indebtedness
we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with these
covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.
A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under one or more of these agreements, including as a result of cross
default provisions, and, in the case of our ABL Facility, amounts due may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders
may be exercised, including rights with respect to the collateral securing the obligations.
We may utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates on our
variable rate indebtedness and we will be exposed to risks related to counterparty credit worthiness or non-performance of
these instruments.
We may enter into pay-fixed interest rate swaps to limit our exposure to changes in variable interest rates. Such instruments may
result in economic losses should interest rates decline to a point lower than our fixed rate commitments. We will be exposed to credit-
related losses, which could affect the results of operations in the event of fluctuations in the fair value of the interest rate swaps due to
a change in the credit worthiness or non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swaps.

Our Foodservice “broad-line” customers are generally located no more than 200 miles from one of our distribution facilities,
and national chain customers are generally located no more than 450 miles from one of our distribution facilities. Of the 78
Foodservice distribution centers, 10 have meat cutting operations that provide custom-cut meat products and two have seafood
processing operations that provide custom-cut and packed seafood to our customers and our other distribution centers. In addition to
the 25 distribution centers operated by Vistar, Vistar has four cash-and-carry Merchant’s Mart facilities. The Convenience segment
operates two additional facilities as a third-party logistics provider dedicated solely to supporting the logistics and management
requirements of one of our customers. These distribution facilities are located in Arizona and Texas.
Customer orders are typically assembled in our distribution facilities and then sorted, placed on pallets, and loaded onto trucks
and trailers in delivery sequence. Deliveries are generally made in large tractor-trailers that we usually lease. We use integrated
computer systems to design and track efficient route sequences for the delivery of our products.

Our properties also include a combined headquarters facility for our corporate offices and the Foodservice segment that is
located in Richmond, Virginia; a combined support service center and headquarters facility for Vistar that is located in Englewood,
Colorado; headquarters for Convenience located in Westlake, Texas; locations to support Other segment operations; and other support
service centers and corporate offices located in the United States.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
While it is impossible to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of any of these proceedings, lawsuits, and claims,
management believes that adequate provisions have been made or insurance secured for all currently pending proceedings so that the
ultimate outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 for disclosure of ongoing litigation.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market and Price Range of Common Stock
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PFGC.”
Approximate Number of Common Shareholders
At the close of business on August 10, 2022, there were approximately 1,483 holders of record of our shares of common stock.
This stockholder figure does not include a substantially greater number of holders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers
and other financial institutions.
Dividends
We have no current plans to pay dividends on our common stock. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by
covenants in the agreements governing our existing indebtedness and may be further limited by the agreements governing other
indebtedness we or our subsidiaries may incur in the future. See Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities. Any decision to declare and pay
dividends in the future will be made at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our
results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors that our Board of Directors may
deem relevant. Because we are a holding company, and have no direct operations, we will only be able to pay dividends from funds
we receive from our subsidiaries.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.

(1) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company purchased 14,199 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, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $250 million of the Company’s
outstanding common stock. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended, or
discontinued at any time. 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 (each as defined under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity
and Capital Resources—Financing Activities in Item 7). The share repurchase program remains subject to the discretion of the Board
of Directors. Although no shares have been repurchased subsequent to March 23, 2020, approximately $235.7 million remained
available for additional share repurchases as of July 2, 2022.

Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the
audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of
this Form 10-K. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that
reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in Item 1A. Actual
results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should carefully read “Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-K.
Our Company
We market and distribute over 250,000 food and food-related products to customers across the United States from
approximately 142 distribution facilities to over 300,000 customer locations in the “food-away-from-home” industry. We offer our
customers a broad assortment of products including our proprietary-branded products, nationally branded products, and products
bearing our customers’ brands. Our product assortment ranges from “center-of-the-plate” items (such as beef, pork, poultry, and
seafood), frozen foods, and groceries to candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, and other tobacco products. We also sell disposables,
cleaning and kitchen supplies, and related products used by our customers. 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 products and other items to convenience stores across the United States and Canada. 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.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to June 30th. This resulted in a 52-week year for fiscal 2022, a 53-week
year for fiscal 2021 and a 52-week year for fiscal 2020. References to “fiscal 2022” are to the 52-week period ended July 2, 2022,
references to “fiscal 2021” are to the 53-week period ended July 3, 2021, and references to “fiscal 2020” are to the 52-week period
ended June 27, 2020.
Key Factors Affecting Our Business
Our business, our industry and the U.S. economy are influenced by a number of general macroeconomic factors, including, but
not limited to, the recent rise in the rate of inflation and fuel prices, interest rates, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related
supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. We continue to actively monitor the impacts of the evolving macroeconomic and
geopolitical landscape on all aspects of our business. During fiscal 2022, economic and operating conditions for our business
improved significantly due to the declining adverse effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Company and our
industry may continue to face challenges as the recovery continues, such as availability of product supply, increased product and
logistics costs, access to labor supply, lower disposable incomes due to inflationary pressures and macroeconomic conditions, and the
emergence of COVID-19 variants. The extent to which these challenges will affect our future financial position, liquidity, and results
of operations remains uncertain.
We believe that our long-term performance is principally affected by the following key factors:
•
Changing demographic and macroeconomic trends. Until recently, due to 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
23
23
•
•
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 of
our reportable segments, expansion of geographies, utilizing our infrastructure to gain further 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; minus 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) and inbound freight. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (“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 Form 10-K,
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 our 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 and is subject to important limitations. 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,
24
24
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 important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or
as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
•
•
•
•
exclude certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to
be replaced in the future;
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
do 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 certain 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 below reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measure calculated
in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented.

Consolidated Results of Operations
Fiscal year ended July 2, 2022 compared to fiscal year ended July 3, 2021
Net Sales
Net sales growth is primarily 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 $20.5 billion, or
67.4%, in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021.
The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Core-Mark on September 1, 2021, which contributed
$14.5 billion of net sales in fiscal 2022. The increase in net sales was also driven by growth in cases sold, an increase in selling price
per case as a result of inflation, partially offset by the 53rd week in fiscal year 2021. Overall product cost inflation was approximately
11.9% for fiscal 2022. Net sales for the extra week in fiscal 2021 were approximately $664.6 million. Case volume increased 28.8% in
fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. Organic case volume increased 7.9% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. Excluding the
impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2021, organic case volume increased 10.3% in fiscal 2022 compared to the prior year.

Gross profit increased $1.7 billion, or 49.1%, in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily
driven by the acquisition of Core-Mark, partially offset by a $122.9 million increase in the LIFO reserve and the 53rd week in fiscal
2021. The acquisition of Core-Mark contributed gross profit of $846.5 million since the acquisition date. Also, gross profit increased
due to case growth in Foodservice and 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. The gross profit for the extra week in fiscal 2021 was approximately $76.1 million.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $1.6 billion, or 48.3%, for fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. The increase in operating
expenses was primarily driven by the acquisition of Core-Mark, partially offset by the 53rd week in fiscal 2021. Core-Mark contributed
an additional $761.8 million operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, 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 increase in personnel expenses. In fiscal 2022, the Company experienced a $81.2 million increase in
temporary contract labor costs, including travel expenses associated with contract workers, compared to the prior year period, as a
result of the labor market's impact on the Company's ability to hire and retain qualified labor. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the
Company's use of temporary contract labor normalized to a level consistent with historical usage. Operating expenses also experienced
an increase in fuel expense of $90.9 million due to higher fuel prices in fiscal 2022 compared to prior year. Additionally, the Company
had increases in workers' compensation and automobile insurance expense of $20.6 million, an increase in professional fees of $23.2
million due to recent acquisitions, and an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $18.6 million. The Company estimates
operating expenses for the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 was approximately $70.4 million.
Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets increased from $338.9 million in fiscal 2021 to $462.8 million in fiscal 2022,
an increase of 36.6%. Depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets increased as a result of the Core-Mark
acquisition and another recent acquisition, partially offset by the 53rd week in fiscal 2021. Total depreciation and amortization related
to the acquisition of Core-Mark was $109.7 million. Total depreciation and amortization related to the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 was
approximately $6.6 million.
Net Income
Net income was $112.5 million for fiscal 2022 compared to $40.7 million for fiscal 2021. This increase in net income was
attributable to the $126.7 million increase in operating profit and an increase in other income, partially offset by increases in interest
expense and income tax expense. The increase in other income primarily relates to realized and unrealized gains on fuel hedging
instruments. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average borrowings outstanding, partially offset
by a decrease in the average interest rate during fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021.
The Company reported income tax expense of $54.6 million for fiscal 2022 compared to $14.0 million for fiscal 2021. Our
effective tax rate in fiscal 2022 was 32.7% compared to 25.6% in fiscal 2021. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 differed from the
prior year due to the increase of non-deductible expenses as a percentage of book income. including $4.2 million of tax related to non-
deductible transaction costs incurred for acquisitions, and the decrease in deductible stock-based compensation as a percentage of
27
27
book income. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2021 was impacted by a benefit from a federal net operating loss carryback to tax years
with a statutory rate higher than the current statutory tax rate.
Fiscal year ended July 3, 2021 compared to fiscal year ended June 27, 2020
Net Sales
Net sales growth is primarily a function of 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 $5,312.6 million, or 21.2%, in fiscal 2021
compared to fiscal 2020. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Reinhart Foodservice, L.L.C.
(“Reinhart”) on December 31, 2019, along with the 53rd week in fiscal year 2021. Net sales for the extra week in fiscal 2021 were
approximately $664.6 million. The acquisition of Reinhart contributed $6,049.3 million of net sales in fiscal 2021, compared to
$2,525.0 million in fiscal 2020.
Case volume increased 15.4% in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2021, case

primarily driven by the acquisition of Reinhart and the 53rd week in fiscal 2021. The acquisition of Reinhart contributed an increase in
gross profit of $501.4 million for fiscal 2021, compared to the prior year. Also, gross profit increased due to an increase in the gross
profit per case driven by case growth in Foodservice, particularly 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. The Company estimates the
increase in gross profit for the extra week in fiscal 2021 was approximately $76.1 million.
Additionally, for fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a total of $36.9 million of inventory write-offs primarily as a result of the
impact of COVID-19 on our operations, compared to $54.5 million for fiscal 2020. This decrease was primarily a result of the recent
improvements in economic conditions. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 11.6% for fiscal 2021 compared to 11.4% for
fiscal 2020.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $356.3 million, or 12.0%, for fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. The increase in operating
expenses was primarily driven by the acquisition of Reinhart and the 53rd week in fiscal 2021. Reinhart contributed an additional
$315.6 million of operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020. The
Company estimates operating expenses for the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 was approximately $70.4 million.
Excluding the impact of Reinhart and the 53rd week in fiscal 2021, operating expenses decreased as a result of a decrease in
contingent consideration accretion expense of $109.7 million, professional fees of $28.4 million, and insurance expense of $6.2
million. Additionally, in fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a benefit of $24.9 million related to reserves related to expected credit
losses for customer receivables, as compared to bad debt expense of $78.0 million in the prior year. These decreases were partially
offset by a $78.6 million increase in bonus expense for fiscal 2021, along with increases in other personnel expenses and the increase
in case volume and the resulting impact on variable operational and selling expenses in fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets increased from $276.3 million in fiscal 2020 to $338.9 million in fiscal 2021,
an increase of 22.7%. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Reinhart. Total depreciation and amortization related
to the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 was approximately $6.6 million.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income was $40.7 million for fiscal 2021, as compared to a net loss of $114.1 million for fiscal 2020. This increase in net
income was attributable to the $299.7 million increase in operating profit, partially offset by increases in interest expense and income
tax expense. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average borrowings outstanding along with a
higher average interest rate during fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020.
The Company reported income tax expense of $14.0 million for fiscal 2021 compared to an income tax benefit of $108.1 million
for fiscal 2020. Our effective tax rate in fiscal 2021 was 25.6% compared to 48.6% in fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate for fiscal
2021 decreased from the prior year period primarily due to state taxes, stock compensation, and discrete items as a percentage of book
income, which is significantly higher than the book income for fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2020 was impacted by the
$46.3 million benefit from a federal net operating loss carryback to tax years with a statutory tax rate higher than the current statutory
tax rate.

2020 as a result of the increased case volume described above and approximately $5.1 million of operating expenses excluding
depreciation and amortization related to the 53rd week in fiscal 2021.
Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets recorded in this segment increased from $9.7 million in fiscal 2020 to $12.6 million
in fiscal 2021. The increase was the result of recent capital outlays for transportation and warehouse equipment and approximately
$0.4 million of depreciation and amortization for the 53rd week in fiscal 2021.
Segment Results—Corporate & All Other
Fiscal year ended July 2, 2022 compared to fiscal year ended July 3, 2021
Net Sales
Net sales for Corporate & All Other increased $97.9 million from fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in logistics services provided to our other segments for increased case volume, partially offset by
approximately $9.2 million of net sales for the 53rd week in fiscal 2021.
EBITDA
EBITDA for Corporate & All Other was a negative $272.4 million for fiscal 2022 compared to a negative $206.6 million for
fiscal 2021. This decline in EBITDA was primarily driven by increases in personnel expenses, an increase in stock-based
compensation expense of $18.6 million, and an increase of $22.6 million in professional and legal fees related primarily to
acquisitions in fiscal 2022. These operating expense increases were partially offset by the extra week in fiscal 2021. The Company
estimates that operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization were approximately $5.0 million in the 53rd week of fiscal
2021.
Depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets recorded in this segment decreased from $30.1 million in
fiscal 2021 to $24.5 million in fiscal 2022 as a result of accelerated depreciation for abandoned information technology projects in the
prior year and the extra week in fiscal 2021. Total depreciation and amortization related to the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 was
approximately $0.5 million for Corporate & All Other.
Fiscal year ended July 3, 2021 compared to fiscal year ended June 27, 2020
Net Sales
Net sales for Corporate & All Other increased $82.8 million from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in logistics services provided to our other segments for increased case volume due to the acquisition of
Reinhart, sales contributions from other recent immaterial acquisitions, and approximately $9.2 million of net sales for the 53rd week
in fiscal 2021.
EBITDA
EBITDA for Corporate & All Other was a negative $206.6 million for fiscal 2021 compared to a negative $203.8 million for
fiscal 2020. This decline in EBITDA was primarily driven by the additional corporate operating expenses, excluding depreciation and
amortization, of $2.5 million associated with the acquisition of Reinhart, as well as the additional week in fiscal 2021. Additionally,
operating expenses increased as a result of an increase in annual bonus expense of $17.3 million and an increase in insurance expense
of $8.1 million fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $29.0 million in fiscal
2021 for professional and legal fees related primarily to acquisitions in fiscal 2020. The Company estimates that operating expenses
excluding depreciation and amortization were approximately $5.0 million in the 53rd week of fiscal 2021.
Depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets recorded in this segment was $30.1 million in fiscal 2021
compared to $28.6 million for fiscal 2020. Total depreciation and amortization related to the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 was
approximately $0.5 million for Corporate & All Other.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations and growth primarily with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit
facility (currently our ABL 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.
33
33
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 8. Debt and Note 12. Leases, respectively, within the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. As of July 2, 2022, the Company had total purchase obligations of $163.9
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 July 2, 2022, the Company had commitments of $101.8 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 ABL Facility to fulfill these commitments. Amounts due under these agreements were not included in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2022.
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 to meet our anticipated cash
requirements over the next 12 months and beyond, to maintain sufficient liquidity for normal operating purposes, and to fund capital
expenditures.
At July 2, 2022, our cash balance totaled $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, at July 3, 2021.
Operating Activities
Fiscal year ended July 2, 2022 compared to fiscal year ended July 3, 2021
During fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, our operating activities provided cash flow of $276.5 million and $64.6 million,
respectively. The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 was largely driven by
higher operating income and the prior year payment of $117.3 million of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Eby-
Brown, partially offset by net income tax refunds of $117.4 million in fiscal 2021 and investments in working capital in fiscal 2022.
Toward the end of fiscal 2022, the Company made advanced purchases of $220.3 million of tobacco related inventory to take
advantage of preferred pricing and as a result of one of the Company's cigarette suppliers shutting down for a system conversion.
Fiscal year ended July 3, 2021 compared to fiscal year ended June 27, 2020
During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, our operating activities provided cash flow of $64.6 million and $623.6 million,
respectively. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020 was largely driven by
larger investments in net working capital and the payment of $117.3 million of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of
Eby-Brown, partially offset by net income tax refunds of $117.4 million received during fiscal 2021.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities totaled $1,861.5 million in fiscal 2022 compared to $199.8 million in fiscal 2021 and $2,146.0
million in fiscal 2020. These investments consisted primarily of net cash paid for recent acquisitions of $1,650.5 million, $18.1
million, and $1,989.0 million for fiscal year 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, along with capital purchases of property, plant, and
equipment of $215.5 million, $188.8 million, and $158.0 million for fiscal years 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. In fiscal 2022,
purchases of property, plant, and equipment primarily consisted of outlays for information technology, warehouse equipment,
warehouse expansions and improvements, and transportation equipment. The following table presents the capital purchases of
property, plant, and equipment by segment. Capital expenditures for fiscal year ended July 3, 2021 and fiscal year ended June 27,
2020 have been restated to reflect the segment changes discussed above.

of the Notes due 2025, $828.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, and $110.0 million in borrowings under the
Additional Junior Term Loan, partially offset by $259.0 million in net payments under our Prior Credit Agreement.
The following describes our financing arrangements as of July 2, 2022:
Credit Agreement: PFGC, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“PFGC”), was a party to the Fourth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated December 30, 2019 (as previously amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Prior Credit
Agreement had an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion under the revolving loan facility and was scheduled to mature on
December 30, 2024. The $110.0 million Additional Junior Term Loan was paid of early and in full in fiscal 2021.
On September 17, 2021, PFGC and Performance Food Group, Inc. entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the “ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the
other lenders party thereto, which amended the Prior Credit Agreement. The ABL Facility, among other things, (i) increased the
aggregate principal amount available under the revolving loan facility from $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion, (ii) extended the stated
maturity date from December 30, 2024 to September 17, 2026, and (iii) included an alternative reference rate, which provides
mechanisms for the use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a replacement rate upon a LIBOR cessation event.
Performance Food Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFGC, 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
greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such date plus 0.5%, (ii) the Prime Rate on such day, or (iii) one month LIBOR plus
1.0%) plus a spread, or (b) LIBOR plus a spread. The ABL Facility also provides for an unused commitment fee rate of 0.25% per
annum.

The ABL Facility contains covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio if
excess availability falls below the greater of (i) $320.0 million and (ii) 10% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the revolving
credit facility amount for five consecutive business days. The ABL Facility also contains customary restrictive covenants that include,
but are not limited to, restrictions on the loan parties’ and their subsidiaries abilities to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends,
create liens, make investments or specified payments, and dispose of assets. The ABL Facility provides for customary events of
default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness. If an event of default occurs and is continuing,
amounts due under the ABL Facility may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders may be exercised, including rights
with respect to the collateral securing the obligations under such agreement.

of our debt agreements and may fluctuate from period to period, which fluctuations may be material. Our restricted payment capacity
under other debt instruments to which the Company is subject may be materially higher than the foregoing estimate.
As of July 2, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the ABL Facility and the indentures
governing the Notes due 2025, the Notes due 2027, and the Notes due 2029.
Total Assets by Segment
Total assets by segment discussed below exclude intercompany receivables between segments and amounts as of July 3, 2021
have been restated to reflect the changes to our reportable segments that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Total assets for Foodservice increased $663.6 million from $5,791.7 million as of July 3, 2021 to $6,455.3 million as of July 2,
2022. During this period, this segment increased its inventory, property, plant, and equipment, accounts receivable, and goodwill
primarily due to a recent acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in intangible assets.
Total assets for Vistar increased $84.0 million from $1,049.7 million as of July 3, 2021 to $1,133.7 million as of July 2, 2022.
During this period, Vistar increased its inventory and accounts receivable.
Total assets for Convenience increased $3,729.7 million from $681.9 million as of July 3, 2021 to $4,411.6 million as of July 2,
2022. During this period, this segment increased its inventory, goodwill, accounts receivable, intangible assets, property, plant and
equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets as a result of the Core-Mark acquisition.
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, and
goodwill and other intangible assets.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are primarily comprised of trade receivables from customers in the ordinary course of business, are
recorded at the invoiced amount, and primarily do not bear interest. Receivables are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful
accounts on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable based on a
combination of factors. We regularly analyze our significant customer accounts, and when we become aware of a specific customer’s
inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as a bankruptcy filing or a deterioration in the customer’s operating results or
financial position, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount we reasonably believe is
collectible. We also record reserves for bad debt for other customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the
receivables are past due, macroeconomic considerations, and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers
change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.
Inventory Valuation
Our inventories consist primarily of food and non-food products. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market
using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and last-in, first-out ("LIFO") using the link chain technique of the dollar value method.
38
38
FIFO was used for approximately 57% of total inventories at July 2, 2022. We adjust our inventory balances for slow-moving, excess,
and obsolete inventories. These adjustments are based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items, and
overall economic conditions.
Insurance Programs
We maintain high-deductible insurance programs covering portions of general and vehicle liability and workers’ compensation.
The amounts in excess of the deductibles are insured by third-party insurance carriers, subject to certain limitations and exclusions.
We also maintain self-funded group medical insurance. We accrue our estimated liability for these deductibles, including an estimate
for incurred but not reported claims, based on known claims and past claims history. The estimated short-term portion of these
accruals is included in Accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets, while the estimated long-term portion of the accruals is
included in Other long-term liabilities. The provisions for insurance claims include estimates of the frequency and timing of claims
occurrence, as well as the ultimate amounts to be paid. These insurance programs are managed by a third party, and the deductibles for
general and vehicle liability and workers compensation are primarily collateralized by letters of credit and restricted cash.
Income Taxes
We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10, Income
Taxes—Overall, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their reported amounts. Future tax benefits, including net operating loss carryforwards, are recognized to the extent that
realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Uncertain tax positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light
of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax audits, developments in case law, and closing of statutes of limitations.
Such adjustments are reflected in the tax provision as appropriate. Income tax calculations are based on the tax laws enacted as of the
date of the financial statements.
Vendor Rebates and Other Promotional Incentives
We participate in various rebate and promotional incentives with our suppliers, either unilaterally or in combination with
purchasing cooperatives and other procurement partners, that consist primarily of volume and growth rebates, annual and multi-year
incentives, and promotional programs. Consideration received under these incentives is generally recorded as a reduction of cost of
goods sold. However, in certain limited circumstances the consideration is recorded as a reduction of costs incurred by us.
Consideration received may be in the form of cash and/or invoice deductions. Changes in the estimated amount of incentives to be
received are treated as changes in estimates and are recognized in the period of change.
Consideration received for volume and growth rebates, annual incentives, and multi-year incentives are recorded as a reduction
of cost of goods sold. We systematically and rationally allocate the consideration for these incentives to each of the underlying
transactions that results in progress by the Company toward earning the incentives. If the incentives are not probable and reasonably
estimable, we record the incentives as the underlying objectives or milestones are achieved. We record annual and multi-year
incentives when earned, generally over the agreement period. We use current and historical purchasing data, forecasted purchasing
volumes, and other factors in estimating whether the underlying objectives or milestones will be achieved. Consideration received to
promote and sell the supplier’s products is typically a reimbursement of marketing costs incurred by the Company and is recorded as a
reduction of our operating expenses. If the amount of consideration received from the suppliers exceeds our marketing costs, any
excess is recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold.
Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets
We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. Our financial statements reflect the operations
of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of
cost of an acquired entity over the amounts specifically assigned to those tangible net assets acquired in a business combination. Other
identifiable intangible assets typically include customer relationships, trade names, technology, non-compete agreements, and
favorable lease assets. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangibles with definite lives are amortized
on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which generally range from two to eleven years. Annually, or when certain triggering
events occur, the Company assesses the useful lives of its intangibles with definite lives. Certain assumptions, estimates, and
judgments are used in determining the fair value of net assets acquired, including goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as
determining the allocation of goodwill to the reporting units. Accordingly, we may obtain the assistance of third-party valuation
specialists for significant tangible and intangible assets. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on
future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but are inherently uncertain. Significant estimates and
assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of
39
39
future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), economic barriers to entry, a brand’s relative market position,
and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur, which
could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions.
We are required to test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually or more often if
circumstances indicate. Indicators of goodwill impairment include, but are not limited to, significant declines in the markets and
industries that buy our products, changes in the estimated future cash flows of its reporting units, changes in capital markets, and
changes in its market capitalization.
We apply the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Testing
Goodwill for Impairment,” which provides entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “step
zero”) to determine whether further quantitative analysis for impairment of goodwill is necessary. In performing step zero for our
goodwill impairment test, we are required to make assumptions and judgments, including but not limited to the following: the
evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as related to our business, industry and market trends, and the overall future financial
performance of our reporting units and future opportunities in the markets in which they operate. If impairment indicators are present
after performing step zero, we would perform a quantitative impairment analysis to estimate the fair value of goodwill.
During fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, we performed the step zero analysis for our goodwill impairment test. As a result of our step
zero analysis, no further quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021. There were no
impairments of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 8 for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption and expected
effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
All of our market sensitive instruments are entered into for purposes other than trading.
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 July 2, 2022, our subsidiary, Performance Food Group, Inc., had two interest rate swaps with a combined value of $400.0
million notional amount that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. See Note 9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 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 is 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 $7.7
million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
Based on the fair values of these interest rate swaps as of July 2, 2022, a hypothetical 100 bps decrease in LIBOR would result
in a loss of $8.1 million and a hypothetical 100 bps increase in LIBOR would result in a gain of $8.0 million within accumulated other
comprehensive income.
Assuming an average daily balance on our ABL Facility of approximately $1.6 billion, approximately $388.6 million of our
outstanding long-term debt is fixed through interest rate swap agreements over the next 12 months and approximately $1.2 billion
represents variable-rate debt. A hypothetical 100 bps increase in LIBOR on our variable-rate debt would lead to an increase of
approximately $12.2 million in annual interest expense.

Fuel Price Risk
We seek to minimize the effect of higher diesel fuel costs both by reducing fuel usage and by taking action to offset higher fuel
prices. We reduce usage by designing more efficient truck routes and by increasing miles per gallon through on-board computers that
monitor and adjust idling time and maximum speeds and through other technologies. In our Foodservice and Vistar segments, we seek
to manage fuel prices through diesel fuel surcharges to our customers and through the use of costless collars or swap arrangements.
As of July 2, 2022, we had collars in place for approximately 24% of the gallons we expect to use over the twelve months
following July 2, 2022. Subsequent to July 2, 2022, we entered into additional collars that increased the collars in place to
approximately 30% of the gallons we expect to use over the twelve months following July 2, 2022. These collars are recorded at fair
value as either an asset or liability on the balance sheet. Any changes in fair value are recorded in the period of the change as
unrealized gains or losses on fuel hedging instruments. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in expected diesel fuel prices would
result in an immaterial gain or loss for these derivative instruments.
Our fuel purchases occur at market prices. Using published market price projections for diesel and estimates of fuel
consumption, a 10% hypothetical increase in diesel prices from the market price would result in a potential increase of approximately
$34.3 million in fuel costs included in Operating expenses. As discussed above, this increase in fuel costs would be partially offset by
fuel surcharges passed through to our customers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Performance Food Group Company
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of July 2, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended July 2, 2022, of the Company and our report dated
August 19, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect
on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Performance Food Group Company
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries (the
"Company") as of July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for the fiscal years ended July 2, 2022, July 3, 2021, and June 27, 2020, and the related notes and
the schedule listed in the Index at Item 8 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years ended July 2, 2022, July 3, 2021, and June 27, 2020 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control
— Integrated Framework (2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report
dated August 19, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of
critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or
disclosures to which it relates.
Vendor Rebates and Other Promotional Incentives – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company receives various rebate and promotional incentives from its suppliers, which include volume and growth rebates, annual
and multi-year incentives, and promotional programs. Consideration received for incentives that contain volume and growth rebates
and annual and multi-year incentives are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The Company systematically and rationally
allocates the consideration for these incentives to each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by the Company toward
earning the incentives. If the incentives are not probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records the incentives as the
underlying objectives or milestones are achieved. The Company records annual and multi-year incentives when earned, generally over
the agreement period, as stipulated in individual contracts. The Company uses current and historical purchasing data, forecasted
purchasing volumes, and other factors in estimating whether the underlying objectives or milestones will be achieved.
Auditing vendor rebates and other promotional incentives involved especially challenging judgment due to the volume of individual
transactions, complexities in complying with the terms of the vendor agreements and the estimates involved, which increased the
extent of audit effort required.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to vendor rebates and other promotional incentives included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of the controls over vendor rebates and other promotional incentives, including controls over
the completeness and accuracy of the programs and related purchasing data.
44
44
• We selected a sample of recorded vendor incentives and (1) confirmed the incentive amount and the terms of the executed
agreement directly with the vendor and (2) recalculated the incentive amount using the terms of the executed vendor
agreement.
• We obtained an understanding of the types of vendor rebates and other promotional incentives the Company receives, and
the Company's accounting policies related to these incentives. Based on that understanding, we developed an independent
estimate for each type of incentive and compared our estimate to the amount recorded by management.
• We selected a sample of upward and downward adjustments made throughout the year for previously recorded vendor
rebates and other promotional incentives to assess management’s initial estimates. For the selected adjustments we
assessed the size and nature of adjustments, compared the balance to prior years to evaluate historical consistency and
considered the direction of the adjustments to evaluate management bias.
• We performed a monthly margin analysis whereby we compared margins generated in prior periods to identify anomalies
in margin. We investigated significant variances from the same periods in prior years.

PERFORMANCE FOOD GROUP COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Summary of Business Activities
Business Overview
Performance Food Group Company (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, markets and distributes primarily national and
company-branded food and food-related products to customer locations across the United States and Canada. 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.
On September 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Core-Mark Holding Company, Inc ("Core-Mark"). As a
result, the Company expanded its convenience business, which now includes operations in Canada. Refer to Note 4. Business
Combinations for additional details regarding the acquisition of Core-Mark.
Fiscal Years
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to June 30th. This resulted in a 52-week year for fiscal 2022, a 53-week
year for fiscal 2021 and a 52-week year for fiscal 2020. References to “fiscal 2022” are to the 52-week period ended July 2, 2022,
references to “fiscal 2021” are to the 53-week period ended July 3, 2021, and references to “fiscal 2020” are to the 52-week period
ended June 27, 2020.
Share Repurchase Program
On November 13, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) authorized a share repurchase
program for up to $250 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The share repurchase program does not have an
expiration date and may be amended, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The share repurchase program remains subject to the
discretion of the Board of Directors. During the fiscal year ended June 27, 2020, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired
0.3 million shares of common stock, for a total of $5.0 million. As of July 2, 2022, approximately $235.7 million remained available
for additional share repurchases.
Equity Issuances
On November 20, 2019, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement related to the issuance and sale of 11,638,000
shares of its common stock on a forward sale basis. On December 30, 2019, the Company settled the forward sale agreement for net
proceeds of $490.6 million, comprised of an aggregate offering price of $514.9 million less $18.0 million of underwriting discounts
and commissions and $6.3 million of direct offering expenses. The net proceeds from this offering were used to finance the cash
consideration payable in connection with the acquisition of Reinhart.
On April 16, 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement related to the issuance and sale of 15,525,000 shares of
its common stock. On April 20, 2020, the Company settled the sale agreement for net proceeds of $337.5 million, comprised of an
aggregate offering price of $349.3 million less $11.3 million of underwriting discounts and commissions and $0.5 million of direct
offering expenses. The net proceeds from this offering were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America 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
52
52
accruals, depreciation, amortization, determination of useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, and income taxes. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
Our business, our industry and the U.S. economy are influenced by a number of general macroeconomic factors, including, but
not limited to, the recent rise in the rate of inflation and fuel prices, interest rates, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related
supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. We continue to actively monitor the impacts of the evolving macroeconomic and
geopolitical landscape on all aspects of our business. During fiscal 2022, economic and operating conditions for our business
improved significantly due to the declining adverse effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Company and our
industry may continue to face challenges as the recovery continues, such as availability of product supply, increased product and
logistics costs, access to labor supply, lower disposable incomes due to inflationary pressures and macroeconomic conditions, and the
emergence of COVID-19 variants. The extent to which these challenges will affect our future financial position, liquidity, and results
of operations remains uncertain.
Cash
The Company maintains its cash primarily in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At
times, the Company’s cash balance may be in amounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limits.
Restricted Cash
The Company is required by its insurers to collateralize a part of the deductibles for its workers’ compensation and liability
claims. The Company has chosen to satisfy these collateral requirements primarily by depositing funds in trusts or by issuing letters of
credit. All amounts in restricted cash at July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 represent funds deposited in insurance trusts, and $7.1 million
and $11.1 million, respectively, represent Level 1 fair value measurements.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are comprised of trade receivables from customers in the ordinary course of business, are recorded at the
invoiced amount, and primarily do not bear interest. Accounts receivable also includes other receivables primarily related to various
rebate and promotional incentives with the Company’s suppliers. Receivables are recorded net of the allowance for credit losses on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on a
combination of factors. The Company regularly analyzes its significant customer accounts, and when it becomes aware of a specific
customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, such as bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s
operating results or financial position, the Company records a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the
amount it reasonably believes is collectible. The Company also records reserves for bad debt for other customers based on a variety of
factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, macroeconomic considerations, and historical experience. If
circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further
adjusted. The Company recorded $9.0 million in provision in fiscal 2022, a benefit of $23.8 million in fiscal 2021, and $80.0 million
in provision for expected credit losses for fiscal 2020.
Inventories
The Company’s inventories consist primarily of food and non-food products. The Company values inventories at the lower of
cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and last-in, first-out ("LIFO") using the link chain technique of the dollar
value method. At July 2, 2022, the Company’s inventory balance of $3,428.6 million consists primarily of finished goods, $1,954.4
million of which was valued at FIFO. As of July 2, 2022, $1,474.2 million of the inventory balance was valued at LIFO. At July 2,
2022 and July 3, 2021, the LIFO balance sheet reserves were $173.5 million and $50.7 million, respectively. Costs in inventory
include the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver the product to the Company’s warehouses and are net of
certain consideration received from vendors in the amount of $101.8 million and $50.9 million as of July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021,
respectively. The Company adjusts its inventory balances for slow-moving, excess, and obsolete inventories. These adjustments are
based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items, and overall economic conditions. As of July 2, 2022 and
July 3, 2021, the Company had adjusted its inventories by approximately $26.4 million and $19.7 million, respectively.
53
53
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, including finance lease assets,
is calculated primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to 39 years,
and is included primarily in operating expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.
Certain internal and external costs related to the development of internal use software are capitalized within property, plant, and
equipment during the application development stage.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
The difference between the net book value of the asset and proceeds from disposition is recognized as a gain or loss. Routine
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while costs of betterments and renewals are capitalized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company, including intangible assets with definite lives, are tested for recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of
evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset or asset group to the
projected, undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset or asset group. Based on the Company’s
assessments, no impairment losses were recorded in fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021, or fiscal 2020.
Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company’s financial
statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the completion of the acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible
assets represent the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts specifically assigned to those tangible net assets acquired in
a business combination. Other identifiable intangible assets typically include customer relationships, trade names, technology, non-
compete agreements, and favorable lease assets. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangibles with
definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which generally range from two to twelve years. Annually,
or when certain triggering events occur, the Company assesses the useful lives of its intangibles with definite lives. Certain
assumptions, estimates, and judgments are used in determining the fair value of net assets acquired, including goodwill and other
intangible assets, as well as determining the allocation of goodwill to the reporting units. Accordingly, the Company may obtain the
assistance of third-party valuation specialists for the valuation of significant tangible and intangible assets. The fair value estimates are
based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management but that are
inherently uncertain. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace
participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability), economic
barriers to entry, a brand’s relative market position, and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Unanticipated market or
macroeconomic events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of the estimates and assumptions. Refer
to Note 4. Business Combinations for further discussion of the goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the Company's
acquisitions.
The Company is required to test goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, or more
often if circumstances indicate. Indicators of goodwill impairment include, but are not limited to, significant declines in the markets
and industries that buy the Company’s products, changes in the estimated future cash flows of its reporting units, changes in capital
markets, and changes in its market capitalization. For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company’s policy is to
assess impairment at the end of each fiscal year.
The Company applies the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2011-08 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which provides entities with an option to perform a
qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “step zero”) to determine whether further quantitative analysis for impairment of
goodwill is necessary. In performing step zero for the Company’s goodwill impairment test, the Company is required to make
assumptions and judgments including but not limited to the following: the evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as related to the
Company’s business, industry and market trends, and the overall future financial performance of its reporting units and future
opportunities in the markets in which they operate. If impairment indicators are present after performing step zero, the Company
would perform a quantitative impairment analysis to estimate the fair value of goodwill.
During fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021, and fiscal 2020 the Company performed the step zero analysis for its goodwill impairment test.
As a result of the Company’s step zero analysis, no further quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary for fiscal 2022, fiscal
54
54
2021, and fiscal 2020. There were no impairments of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives for fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021, or
fiscal 2020.
Insurance Program
The Company maintains high-deductible insurance programs covering portions of general and vehicle liability and workers’
compensation. The amounts in excess of the deductibles are fully insured by third-party insurance carriers and subject to certain
limitations and exclusions. The Company also maintains self-funded group medical insurance. The Company accrues its estimated
liability for these deductibles, including an estimate for incurred but not reported claims, based on known claims and past claims
history. The estimated short-term portion of these accruals is included in Accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance
sheets, while the estimated long-term portion of the accruals is included in Other long-term liabilities. The provisions for insurance
claims include estimates of the frequency and timing of claims occurrence, as well as the ultimate amounts to be paid. These insurance
programs are managed by a third party, and the deductibles for general and vehicle liability and workers compensation are primarily
collateralized by letters of credit and restricted cash.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“OCI”)
Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in equity during each period except for those resulting from net
income (loss) and investments by or distributions to shareholders. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists primarily of gains or
losses from derivative financial instruments that are designated in a hedging relationship and foreign currency translation from Core-
Mark's Canadian operations. For derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument
is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings during the same period or periods during
which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Revenue Recognition
The Company markets and distributes primarily national and Company-branded food and food-related products to customer
locations across the United States and Canada. 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 food-service products, and other items to convenience stores
across the United States and Canada. 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 19. Segment Information for external revenue
by reportable segment.
The Company assesses the products and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance
obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a product or service (or a bundle of products or services) that is distinct. The
Company determined that fulfilling and delivering customer orders constitutes a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized
at the point in time when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and the customer has obtained control of the products.
The Company determined that the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at
the time the products are delivered to the customer’s requested destination. The Company considers control to have transferred upon
delivery because the Company has a present right to payment at this time, the customer has legal title to the products, the Company
has transferred physical possession of the assets, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products.
The transaction price recognized is the invoiced price, adjusted for any incentives, such as rebates and discounts granted to the
customer. The Company estimates expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. We adjust our estimate of revenue at
the earlier of when the amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. The Company
determined it is responsible for collecting and remitting state and local excise taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products and
presents billed excise taxes as part of revenue. Net sales include amounts related to state and local excise taxes which totaled $3.7
billion, $1.2 billion, and $1.1 billion for fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021, and fiscal 2020, respectively. The Company has made a policy
election to exclude sales tax from the transaction price. The Company does not have any material significant payment terms as
payment is received shortly after the point of sale.
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
55
55
life of the customer relationship on a straight-line basis. The Company’s contract asset for these incentives totaled $26.4 million and
$19.9 million as of July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
The Company recognizes substantially all of its revenue on a gross basis as a principal. When assessing whether the Company is
acting as a principal or an agent, the Company considered the indicators that an entity controls the specified good or service before it
is transferred to the customer detailed in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-55-39. The Company believes it
earns substantially all revenue as a principal from the sale of products because the Company is responsible for the fulfillment and
acceptability of products purchased. Additionally, the Company holds the general inventory risk for the products, as it takes title to the
products before the products are ordered by customers and maintains products in inventory.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes amounts paid to manufacturers for products sold, the cost of transportation necessary to bring the
products to the Company’s facilities, plus depreciation related to processing facilities and equipment. The Company determined it is
responsible for remitting state and local excise taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products and presents remittances of excise taxes
as part of cost of goods sold. Additionally, federal excise taxes are levied on manufacturers who pass these taxes on to the Company
as a portion of the product costs. As a result, federal excise taxes are not a component of the Company’s excise taxes, but are reflected
in the cost of inventory until products are sold.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses include warehouse, delivery, occupancy, insurance, depreciation, amortization, salaries and wages, and
employee benefits expenses.
Vendor Rebates and Other Promotional Incentives
The Company participates in various rebate and promotional incentives with its suppliers, primarily including volume and
growth rebates, annual and multi-year incentives, and promotional programs. Consideration received under these incentives is
generally recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. However, as described below, in certain limited circumstances the
consideration is recorded as a reduction of operating expenses incurred by the Company. Consideration received may be in the form of
cash and/or invoice deductions. Changes in the estimated amount of incentives to be received are treated as changes in estimates and
are recognized in the period of change.
Consideration received for incentives that contain volume and growth rebates and annual and multi-year incentives are recorded
as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The Company systematically and rationally allocates the consideration for these incentives to
each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by the Company toward earning the incentives. If the incentives are not
probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records the incentives as the underlying objectives or milestones are achieved. The
Company records annual and multi-year incentives when earned, generally over the agreement period. The Company uses current and
historical purchasing data, forecasted purchasing volumes, and other factors in estimating whether the underlying objectives or
milestones will be achieved. Consideration received to promote and sell the supplier’s products is typically a reimbursement of
marketing costs incurred by the Company and is recorded as a reduction of the Company’s operating expenses. If the amount of
consideration received from the suppliers exceeds the Company’s marketing costs, any excess is recorded as a reduction of cost of
goods sold.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales. Estimated shipping and handling costs incurred by the
Company of $2,253.2 million, $1,450.7 million, and $1,197.7 million are recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statement
of operations for fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021, and fiscal 2020, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company participates in the Performance Food Group Company 2007 Management Option Plan (the “2007 Option Plan”),
the Performance Food Group Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Incentive Plan”), the Core-Mark 2010 Long-Term
Incentive Plan, and the Core-Mark 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and follows the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC
718-10-25, Compensation—Stock Compensation—Overall—Recognition. This guidance requires that all stock-based compensation be
recognized as an expense in the financial statements. The Company recognizes expense for its stock-based compensation based on the
fair value of the awards that are granted. The Company estimates the fair value of service-based options using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The fair values of service-based restricted stock, restricted stock with performance conditions and restricted stock units
56
56
are based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of options and restricted stock with
market conditions using a Monte Carlo simulation. Compensation cost is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. For
those options and restricted stock that have a performance condition, compensation expense is based upon the number of option or
shares, as applicable, expected to vest after assessing the probability that the performance criteria will be met. The Company has made
a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur.
Compensation expense related to our employee stock purchase plan, which allows eligible employees to purchase our common
stock at a 15% discount, represents the difference between the fair market value as of the purchase date and the employee purchase
price.
Income Taxes
The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes—Overall, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of
accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Future tax benefits, including net
operating loss carryforwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Uncertain tax
positions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, including progress of tax
audits, developments in case law, and closings of statutes of limitations. Such adjustments are reflected in the tax provision as
appropriate. Income tax calculations are made based on the tax laws enacted as of the date of the financial statements.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
As required by FASB ASC 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging—Hedging—General, the Company records all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative,
whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the
hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. The Company primarily uses derivative contracts
to manage the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows. A portion of these derivatives is designated and qualify as cash
flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging
instrument with the recognition of the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may
enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not
apply, or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting under FASB ASC 815-20. In the event that the Company does not apply
the provisions of hedge accounting, the derivative instruments are recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheets
at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and included in Other expense in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations. See Note 9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for additional information on the
Company’s use of derivative instruments.
The Company discloses derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-50, Derivatives
and Hedging—Overall—Disclosure. FASB ASC 815-10-50 sets forth the disclosure requirements with the intent to provide users of
financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB ASC 815-20, and (c) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB ASC 815-10-50 requires qualitative
disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses
on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting guidance establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are
as follows:
•
•
•
Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly for
substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data, which include management’s own assumption
about the risk assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are evaluated in accordance with this hierarchy.
57
57
Contingent Liabilities
The Company records a liability related to contingencies when a loss is considered to be probable and a reasonable estimate of
the loss can be made. This estimate would include legal fees, if applicable.
Foreign Currency Translation
As a result of the Core-Mark acquisition on September 1, 2021, the Company 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.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.
The update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for intra-period tax allocations, the recognition
of deferred tax liabilities after a foreign subsidiary transitions to or from equity method accounting, and the methodology of
calculating income taxes in an interim period with year-to-date losses. Additionally, the guidance provides additional clarification on
other areas, including step-up of the tax basis of goodwill recorded as part of an acquisition and the treatment of franchise taxes that
are partially based on income. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020,
with early adoption permitted. Companies are required to apply the standard on a prospective basis, except for certain sections of the
guidance which shall be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted this new ASU in the first
quarter of fiscal 2022 and concluded that adoption of this update does not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
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 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. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to business
combinations occurring on or after the effective date. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities
about Government Assistance. The update increases the transparency in financial reporting of government assistance by requiring the
disclosure of the types of transactions, an entity’s accounting for the transactions and the effect of those transactions on an entity’s
financial statements. This pronouncement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption
permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either prospectively to all applicable transactions at the date of initial
application and as new transactions occur or retrospectively to all applicable transactions. The Company has substantially completed
its analysis of the impact of adopting this ASU and determined that the adoption of this update will not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The $1.1 billion cash portion of the acquisition was financed using borrowings from the Prior Credit Agreement (as defined in
Note 8. Debt). The Core-Mark acquisition strengthens the Company’s business diversification and expands its presence in the
convenience store channel. The Core-Mark acquisition is reported in the Convenience segment.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date of September 1,
2021. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for
the Core-Mark acquisition:

Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, trade names, and technology with useful lives of 11 years, 5 years,
and 5 years, respectively, and a total weighted-average useful life of 9.3 years. The excess of the estimated fair value of assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed over consideration paid was recorded as $863.2 million of goodwill on the acquisition date. The
goodwill reflects the value to the Company associated with the expansion of geographic reach and scale of our distribution footprint
and enhancements to the Company’s customer base.

The net sales and net loss related to Core-Mark recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal
year ended July 2, 2022, since the acquisition date of September 1, 2021 are $14.5 billion and $17.6 million, respectively. The net loss
related to Core-Mark since the acquisition date was driven by purchase accounting and LIFO inventory reserve adjustments.

includes $54.7 million, after-tax, of acquisition costs assuming the acquisition had occurred on June 28, 2020. The recurring pro-
forma adjustments include estimates of interest expense for the Company's 4.250% Senior Notes due 2029 ("Notes due 2029") and
estimates of depreciation and amortization associated with fair value adjustments for property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets acquired
These unaudited pro-forma results do not necessarily represent financial results that would have been achieved had the
acquisition actually occurred on June 28, 2020 or future consolidated results of operations of the Company.
Reinhart Acquisition
On December 30, 2019, the Company acquired Reinhart from Reyes Holdings, L.L.C. in a transaction valued at $2.0 billion, or
approximately $1.7 billion net of an estimated tax benefit to the Company of approximately $265 million. The $2.0 billion purchase
price was financed with $464.7 million of borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement, net proceeds of $1,033.7 million from the
issuance of the Company's Senior Notes due 2027, and net proceeds of $490.6 million from an offering of shares of the Company’s
common stock. The Reinhart acquisition expanded the Company’s broadline presence by enhancing its distribution footprint in key
geographies, and the Company believes it will help achieve its long-term growth goals. The Reinhart acquisition is reported in the
Foodservice segment. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company paid a total of $67.3 million related to the final net working
capital acquired, which is reflected as a financing activity cash outflow in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal year
ended July 3, 2021.

6. Concentration of Sales and Credit Risk
The Company had no customers that comprised more than 10% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2022 or fiscal 2021. For
fiscal 2020, one of the Company’s customers within the Convenience segment accounted for a significant portion of the Company’s
consolidated net sales. At June 27, 2020, net sales from this customer represented approximately 10.2% of consolidated net sales of
$25,086.3 million. At July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, the Company had no customers that comprised more than 10% of
61
61
consolidated accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for which details are disclosed in the
accounts receivable portion of Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates—Accounts Receivable.
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts
receivable. The Company’s customer base includes a large number of individual restaurants, national and regional chain restaurants,
and franchises and other institutional customers. The credit risk associated with accounts receivable is minimized by the Company’s
large customer base and ongoing monitoring of customer creditworthiness.

Credit Agreement
PFGC, Inc. (“PFGC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was a party to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated December 30, 2019 (as previously amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Prior Credit Agreement had an
aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion under the revolving loan facility and was scheduled to mature on December 30, 2024. The
incremental $110.0 million, 364-day maturity loan that was junior to the other obligations owed under the Prior Credit Agreement
("Additional Junior Term Loan") was paid off early and in full on February 5, 2021.
62
62
On September 17, 2021, PFGC and Performance Food Group, Inc. entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the “ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the
other lenders party thereto, which amended the Prior Credit Agreement. The ABL Facility, among other things, (i) increases the
aggregate principal amount available under the revolving loan facility from $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion, (ii) extended the stated
maturity date from December 30, 2024 to September 17, 2026, and (iii) included an alternative reference rate, which provides
mechanisms for the use of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a replacement rate upon a LIBOR cessation event.
Performance Food Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFGC, 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
greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such date plus 0.5%, (ii) the Prime Rate on such day, or (iii) one month LIBOR plus
1.0%) plus a spread, or (b) LIBOR plus a spread. The ABL Facility also provides for an unused commitment fee rate of 0.25% per
annum.
The following table summarizes outstanding borrowings, availability, and the average interest rate under the ABL Facility:

The ABL Facility contains covenants requiring the maintenance of a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio if
excess availability falls below the greater of (i) $320.0 million and (ii) 10% of the lesser of the borrowing base and the revolving
credit facility amount for five consecutive business days. The ABL Facility also contains customary restrictive covenants that include,
but are not limited to, restrictions on the loan parties' and their subsidiaries' abilities to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends,
create liens, make investments or specified payments, and dispose of assets. The ABL Facility provides for customary events of
default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness. If an event of default occurs and is continuing,
amounts due under the ABL Facility may be accelerated and the rights and remedies of the lenders may be exercised, including rights
with respect to the collateral securing the obligations under such agreement.
Senior Notes due 2024
On May 17, 2016, Performance Food Group, Inc. issued and sold $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.500%
Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes due 2024”). As described below, on July 26, 2021, Performance Food Group, Inc. issued and sold
$1.0 billion aggregate principal of its Notes due 2029 and used a portion of the proceeds to redeem the Notes due 2024 in full. A
significant portion of this redemption was considered an extinguishment, resulting in 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.
Senior Notes due 2025
On April 24, 2020, Performance Food Group, Inc. issued and sold $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.875%
Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes due 2025”). The Notes due 2025 are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis
by PFGC and all domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PFGC (other than captive insurance subsidiaries and other
excluded subsidiaries). The Notes due 2025 are not guaranteed by the Company.
The proceeds from the Notes due 2025 were used for working capital and general corporate purposes and to pay the fees,
expenses, and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Notes due 2025.
63
63
The Notes due 2025 were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes due 2025 mature on May 1, 2025, and bear interest at a
rate of 6.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event or upon the sale of certain assets in which Performance Food
Group, Inc. does not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the Notes due 2025 will have the right to require Performance Food
Group, Inc. to repurchase each holder’s Notes due 2025 at a price equal to 101% (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. Performance Food Group, Inc. may
redeem all or a part of the Notes due 2025 at any time prior to May 1, 2023 at a redemption price equal to 103.438% of the principal
amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price decreases to 101.719% and 100% of the principal amount
redeemed on May 1, 2023, and May 1, 2024, respectively.
The indenture governing the Notes due 2025 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 2025 also contain customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the principal of and accrued
interest on the Notes due 2025 to become or be declared due and payable.
Senior Notes due 2027
On September 27, 2019, PFG Escrow Corporation (the “Escrow Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFGC, issued and sold
$1,060.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.500% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes due 2027”). The Notes due 2027 are
jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by PFGC and all domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries
of PFGC (other than captive insurance subsidiaries and other excluded subsidiaries). The Notes due 2027 are not guaranteed by the
Company.
The proceeds from the Notes due 2027 along with an offering of shares of the Company’s common stock and borrowings under
the Prior Credit Agreement, were used to fund the cash consideration for the Reinhart acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.
The Notes due 2027 were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes due 2027 mature on October 15, 2027 and bear interest
at a rate of 5.500% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event or upon the sale of certain assets in which Performance Food
Group, Inc. does not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the Notes due 2027 will have the right to require Performance Food
Group, Inc. to repurchase each holder’s Notes due 2027 at a price equal to 101% (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. Performance Food Group, Inc. may
redeem all or a part of the Notes due 2027 at any time prior to October 15, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes due 2027 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 October 15, 2022, Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem all or a part of
the Notes due 2027 at a redemption price equal to 102.750% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The
redemption price decreases to 101.375% and 100% of the principal amount redeemed on October 15, 2023, and October 15, 2024,
respectively. In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2022, Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem up to 40% of the Notes
due 2027 from the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest.
The indenture governing the Notes due 2027 contains covenants limiting, among other things, PFGC’s and its restricted

the Senior Notes due 2024, and to pay the fees, expenses, and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Notes due 2029.
The Notes due 2029 were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes due 2029 mature on August 1, 2029, and bear interest
at a rate of 4.250% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event or upon the sale of certain assets in which Performance Food
Group, Inc. does not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the Notes due 2029 will have the right to require Performance Food
Group, Inc. to repurchase each holder’s Notes due 2029 at a price equal to 101% (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. Performance Food Group, Inc. may
redeem all or a part of 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.
The ABL Facility and the indentures governing the Notes due 2025, the Notes due 2027, and the Notes due 2029 contain
customary restrictive covenants under which all of the net assets of PFGC and its subsidiaries were restricted from distribution to
Performance Food Group Company, except for approximately $1,632.5 million of restricted payment capacity available under such
debt agreements, as of July 2, 2022. Such minimum estimated restricted payment capacity is calculated based on the most restrictive
of our debt agreements and may fluctuate from period to period, which fluctuations may be material. Our restricted payment capacity
under other debt instruments to which the Company is subject may be materially higher than the foregoing estimate.

9. 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 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.
65
65
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
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 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 counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the
underlying notional amount. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.
As of July 2, 2022, Performance Food Group, Inc. had two interest rate swaps with a combined $400.0 million notional amount.
The following table summarizes the outstanding Swap Agreements as of July 2, 2022 (in millions):

As hedged interest payments are made on the Company’s debt, amounts are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) to Interest expense. During the twelve months ending July 1, 2023, the Company estimates that gains of approximately
$7.7 million will be reclassified to interest expense.
Hedges of Forecasted Diesel Fuel Purchases
From time to time, Performance Food Group, Inc. enters into costless collar or swap arrangements to manage its exposure to
variability in cash flows expected to be paid for its forecasted purchases of diesel fuel. As of July 2, 2022, Performance Food Group,
Inc. was a party to five such arrangements, with an aggregate 18.9 million-gallon original notional amount for forecasted purchases of
diesel fuel expected to be made between July 3, 2022 and December 31, 2023. Subsequent to July 2, 2022, the Company entered into
two additional arrangements with an aggregate 7.6 million gallon notional for forecasted purchases of diesel fuel expected to be made
between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023.
The fuel collar and swap instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the derivative instruments are recorded
as an asset or liability on the balance sheet at fair value and any changes in fair value are recorded in the period of change as
unrealized gains or losses on fuel hedging instruments and included in Other, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of
operations. For the fiscal years ended July 2, 2022, July 3, 2021, and June 27, 2020 the Company recognized a gain of $10.5 million, a
gain of $8.4 million and a loss of $4.7 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of fuel collar and swap instruments
along with $10.2 million of income, $2.0 million of expense, and $1.8 million of expense, respectively, related to cash settlements.

The Company does not currently have a payable or receivable related to cash collateral for its derivatives, and therefore it has
not established an accounting policy for offsetting the fair value of its derivatives against such balances. The table below presents the
fair value of the derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the balance sheet as of July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021:

All of the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to a master netting arrangement with the respective counterparties that
provide for the net settlement of all derivative contracts in the event of default or upon the occurrence of certain termination events.
Upon exercise of termination rights by the non-defaulting party (i) all transactions are terminated, (ii) all transactions are valued and
the positive value or “in the money” transactions are netted against the negative value or “out of the money” transactions, and (iii) the
only remaining payment obligation is of one of the parties to pay the netted termination amount.
The Company has elected to present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the balance sheet on a gross basis for periods
ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021. The tables below present the derivative assets and liability balance, before and after the effects of

The derivative instruments are the only assets or liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The fuel collars
are exchange-traded commodities and their fair value is derived from valuation models based on certain assumptions regarding market
conditions, some of which may be unobservable. Based on the lack of significance of these unobservable inputs, the Company has
concluded that these instruments represent Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap
agreements are determined using a valuation model with several inputs and assumptions, some of which may be unobservable. A
specific unobservable input used by the Company in determining the fair value of its interest rate swaps is an estimation of both the
unsecured borrowing spread to LIBOR for the Company as well as that of the derivative counterparties. Based on the lack of
significance of this estimated spread component to the overall value of the Company’s interest rate swaps, the Company has
concluded that these swaps represent Level 2 on the hierarchy.
Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that provide that if the Company either defaults or is
capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, the Company can also be declared in default on its derivative
obligations.
As of July 2, 2022, the aggregate fair value amount of all derivative instruments that contain contingent features were in a net
asset position.

Insurance Program Liabilities
The Company maintains high-deductible insurance programs covering portions of general and vehicle liability, workers’
compensation, and group medical insurance. The amounts in excess of the deductibles are fully insured by third-party insurance
carriers, subject to certain limitations. A summary of the activity in all types of deductible liabilities appears below:

11. 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 $3,908.8
million and $2,240.5million, is $3,704.6 million and $2,346.2 million at July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, 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.
12. 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 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
68
68
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 less than 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
expiration dates ranging from 2022 to 2028. As of July 2, 2022, the undiscounted maximum amount of potential future payments for
lease residual value guarantees totaled approximately $14.5 million, which would be mitigated by the fair value of the leased assets at
lease expiration.

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.
Income tax expense (benefit) for fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 consisted of the following:

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), which provides relief to taxpayers
affected by COVID-19, was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures
designed to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19. In fiscal years 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $2.1
million and $46.3 million, respectively, related to the carry-back of the fiscal year 2020 net operating loss to tax years with a statutory
rate of 35% compared to the current statutory rate of 21%.
Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of

Net deferred tax liabilities increased by $272.6 million primarily related to fair value and other adjustments made in purchase
accounting. We have taken current and future expirations into consideration when evaluating the need for valuation allowances against
deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. State net operating loss carry-forwards generally expire in fiscal years 2023 through 2042.
Certain state net operating losses generated in fiscal year 2021 and after have an indefinite carry-forward period. For the fiscal years
ending July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 the Company established a valuation allowance of $2.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively,
net of federal tax benefit, against deferred tax assets related to certain net operating loss and state tax credit carry-forwards which are
not likely to be realized due to limitations on utilization.
The Company records a liability for Uncertain Tax Positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes—
General—Recognition. Included in the balances as of July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, is $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of
unrecognized tax benefits that could affect the effective tax rate for continuing operations. The balance in unrecognized tax benefits
relates primarily to state tax issues and non-deductible expenses. The Company does not anticipate that changes in the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months will have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
As of July 2, 2022, substantially all federal, state and local, and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years prior
to fiscal year 2014. The Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit with respect to the loss for fiscal year ended June 27, 2020 and
the carryback to the prior 5 tax years. The audit was ongoing at the end of the fiscal year.
It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million was accrued for interest related to uncertain tax positions as of July 2, 2022 and July 3,
2021, respectively. Less than $0.1 million was recognized in interest expense for fiscal 2022 and net interest income of approximately
$0.3 million was recognized in interest expense for fiscal 2021.
14. Retirement Plans
Employee Savings Plans
The Company sponsors the Performance Food Group Employee Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Eligible U.S and Canadian
employees participating in the 401(k) Plan may elect to contribute between 1% and 50% of their qualified compensation, up to a
maximum dollar amount as specified by the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code in the U.S. or Income Tax Act in Canada, as
applicable. The Company matched 100% of the first 3.5% of the employee contributions, resulting in matching contributions of $42.3
million for fiscal 2022, $36.4 million for fiscal 2021, and $30.9 million for fiscal 2020.
Core-Mark maintained defined-contribution plans in the U.S., subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and in
Canada, subject to the Income Tax Act. Eligible U.S. and Canadian employees could elect to contribute, on a tax-deferred basis, from
0% to 75% of their qualified compensation, up to a maximum dollar amount as specified by the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code or Income Tax Act. Core-Mark matched 50% of U.S. and Canada employee contributions up to 6% of base salary for a total
maximum company contribution of 3%. For fiscal 2022, Core-Mark made matching contributions of $4.2 million to this plan.
Beginning in May 2022, Core-Mark employees transitioned to the Company’s 401(k) Plan.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
The Company had outstanding contracts and purchase orders of $163.9 million related to capital projects and services including
purchases of compressed natural gas for its trucking fleet at July 2, 2022. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2022.
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
72
72
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 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 November 7, 2022, after having been postponed. The remaining three trials initially set for
2022 have been delayed until 2023. Eby-Brown and Core-Mark have been dismissed from each of the bellwether cases initially set for
2022 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 are currently scheduled to begin in
September 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. JUUL attempted mediation with the Cherokee Nation
73
73
in March 2022, which did not result in resolution. The Cherokee Nation has yet to file a motion to lift the stay. If the stay is lifted,
discovery will recommence, and the parties will litigate the various discovery disputes that were outstanding prior to the stay.
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 entered a case management schedule, with a trial tentatively scheduled to take place in the first
calendar quarter of 2024. Eby-Brown has filed a substantive motion to dismiss. Core-Mark has filed a motion to dismiss for lack of
personal jurisdiction. Eby-Brown and Core-Mark are in the process of responding to written discovery plaintiff has served in an effort
to oppose both motions 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.
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 PMTA that warrant additional review. Accordingly, the FDA entered an administrative stay of the MDO. 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 it in 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.
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.
16. 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 $8.7 million as of July 2, 2022, and $6.0 million as of July 3, 2021. For fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021, and fiscal
2020, the Company recorded purchases of $1,858.4 million, $1,300.2 million, and $925.2 million, respectively, through the
purchasing alliance.
17. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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. For fiscal
2020 diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share because the inclusion of potential common shares is
antidilutive.

18. Stock-based Compensation
Performance Food Group Company provides compensation benefits to employees and non-employee directors under share-
based payment arrangements. These arrangements are designed to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by
providing employees and non-employee directors who are or will be involved in the Company’s growth with an opportunity to acquire
an ownership interest in the Company, thereby encouraging them to contribute to and participate in the success of the Company.
In fiscal 2020 the Company approved an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) which provides eligible employees the
opportunity to acquire shares of common stock, at a 15% discount on the fair market value as of the date of purchase, through periodic
payroll deductions. The ESPP is considered compensatory for federal income tax purposes. The Company recorded $3.7 million, $2.6
million, and $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021, and fiscal 2020, respectively, attributable
to the ESPP.
The Performance Food Group Company 2007 Management Option Plan
The 2007 Option Plan allowed for the granting of awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of the
Company or its affiliates in the form of nonqualified options. The terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2007 Option Plan
were determined by the Board of Directors. The contractual term of the options is ten years. The Company no longer grants awards
from this plan and no options were granted from the 2007 Option Plan in fiscal 2022, 2021 or 2020. Each of the employee awards
under the 2007 Option Plan was divided into three equal portions. Tranche I options were subject to time vesting. Tranche II and
Tranche III options were subject to both time and performance vesting, including performance criteria as outlined in the 2007 Option
Plan.
The following table summarizes the stock option activity for fiscal 2022 under the 2007 Option Plan.

The Performance Food Group Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan
In July 2015, the Company approved the 2015 Incentive Plan. The 2015 Incentive Plan allows for the granting of awards to
current employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company. The terms and conditions of awards granted under
the 2015 Option Plan are determined by the Board of Directors. There are 8,850,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance
75
75
under the 2015 Incentive Plan, including non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
shares (time-based and performance-based), restricted stock units, and other equity based or cash-based awards. As of July 2, 2022,
there are 4,306,117 shares available for grant under the 2015 Incentive Plan. The contractual term of options granted under the 2015
Incentive Plan is ten years.
Shares of time-based restricted stock granted in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 vest ratably over the requisite service
period. Additionally, in fiscal 2021, one-time grants of shares of time-based restricted stock, which vest at the end of a three year
period, were issued. No stock options were granted from the 2015 Incentive Plan in fiscal 2022, fiscal 2021 or fiscal 2020.
Performance-based restricted shares granted in fiscal 2020 vest upon the achievement of a specified Return on Invested Capital
(“ROIC”), a performance condition, and a specified Relative Total Shareholder Return (“Relative TSR”), a market condition, at the
end of a three year performance period. Actual shares earned range from 0% to 200% of the initial grant, depending upon performance
relative to the ROIC and Relative TSR goals. For performance-based restricted shares granted in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, the
ROIC measure was removed and the vesting of the shares earned will be based solely on Relative TSR. Restricted stock units and
deferred stock units granted to non-employee directors vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next
regularly scheduled annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company.
The fair values of time-based restricted shares, restricted shares with a performance condition, restricted stock units, and
deferred stock units were based on the Company’s closing stock price as of the date of grant.
The Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert, estimated the fair value of performance-based restricted
shares with a Relative TSR market condition granted in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021, and fiscal 2022 using a Monte Carlo simulation with
the following weighted-average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is based on a zero-coupon risk-free interest rate derived from the Treasury Constant Maturities yield
curve at the time of grant for the expected term. The Company assumed a dividend yield of zero percent when valuing the grants
under the 2015 Incentive Plan because the Company announced that it does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock.
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company for the expected term. The expected term represents the period
of time from the date of grant to the end of the three-year performance period.
The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Company’s 2015 Incentive Plan was $27.6 million for
fiscal 2022, $22.8 million for fiscal 2021, and $16.4 million for fiscal 2020, and it is included within operating expenses in the
consolidated statement of operations. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations was $7.4
million in fiscal 2022, $6.1 million in fiscal 2021, and $4.4 million in fiscal 2020. Total unrecognized compensation cost for all
awards under the 2015 Incentive Plan is $38.4 million as of July 2, 2022. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-
average period of 1.7 years.

The Core-Mark 2010 and 2019 Long Term Incentive Plans
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 Company 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 Company 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 Company common stock for the ten 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
Company 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 Company 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. 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.
The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Core-Mark 2010 and 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plans was
$12.7 million for fiscal 2022 and it is included within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The total
income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations was $3.4 million in fiscal 2022. Total unrecognized
compensation cost for all awards under the 2010 and 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plans is $6.5 million as of July 2, 2022. This cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

19. 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 three reportable
segments: Foodservice, Vistar, and Convenience.
The Foodservice segment markets and distributes food and food-related products to independent restaurants, chain restaurants,
and other institutional “food-away-from-home” locations. Foodservice offers a “broad line” of products, including custom-cut meat
and seafood, as well as products that are specific to our customers’ menu requirements. The Vistar segment distributes candy, snacks,
beverages, and other products to customers in the vending, office coffee services, theater, retail, hospitality, and other channels. The
Convenience segment distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, food and foodservice products, and
other items to convenience stores across the United States and Canada. Corporate & All Other is comprised of corporate overhead and
certain operating segments 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.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
and Estimates. Management evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on various operating and financial metrics,
including total sales and EBITDA, defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization.
The presentation and amounts for the fiscal years ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020 and as of July 3, 2021 have been
restated to reflect the segment changes described above.

Cigarette sales represented 25.9%, 13.9%, and 14.9% of net sales for the years ended July 2, 2022, July 3, 2021, and June 27,
2020, respectively. The Company’s significant suppliers include Altria Group, Inc. (parent company of Philip Morris USA Inc.) and
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, which, in the aggregate, represents approximately 20.7% of products purchased for the year ended
July 2, 2022. Although cigarettes represent a significant portion of the Company’s total net sales and cost of goods sold, the majority
of the Company's gross profit is generated from the sales of food and food-related products.

Notes to Condensed Parent Company Only Financial Statements
1. Description of Performance Food Group Company
Performance Food Group Company (the “Parent”) was incorporated in Delaware on July 23, 2002, to effect the purchase of all
the outstanding equity interests of PFGC, Inc. (“PFGC”). The Parent has no significant operations or significant assets or liabilities
other than its investment in PFGC. Accordingly, the Parent is dependent upon distributions from PFGC to fund its obligations.
However, under the terms of PFGC’s various debt agreements, PFGC’s ability to pay dividends or lend to the Parent is restricted,
except that PFGC may pay specified amounts to the Parent to fund the payment of the Parent’s franchise and excise taxes and other
fees, taxes, and expenses required to maintain its corporate existence.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements (parent company only) include the accounts of the Parent and its investment
in PFGC, Inc. accounted for in accordance with the equity method, and do not present the financial statements of the Parent and its
subsidiary on a consolidated basis. These parent company only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Performance Food Group Company consolidated financial statements. The Parent is included in the consolidated federal and certain
unitary, consolidated and combined state income tax returns with its subsidiaries. The Parent’s tax balances reflect its share of such
filings.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. 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-K, 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-K, were effective.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management, with the participation of the Company’s
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria established
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”).
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that:
i.
ii.
iii.
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of our assets;
provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and our board of directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore,
even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on our assessment, under the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO,
management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2022.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2022, has been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, which appears in Item 8.

84
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 July 2, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

DEAR STOCKHOLDER
During fiscal 2022, Performance Food Group
The increase in net sales was primarily
(“PFG”) surpassed major milestones and
attributable to the acquisition of Core-Mark
reinforced our position as one of the world’s
and growth in cases sold and an increase in
leading food and foodservice distribution
price per case as a result of inflation.
“ THROUGHOUT IT ALL, THE
DEDICATION OF PFG’S ASSOCIATES
HAS ALLOWED OUR COMPANY
Our strategy is underpinned by a relentless
focus on expanding across North America
through both organic growth and strategic
transactions. We took a big step forward in this

RESILIENT ORGANIZATION… I SEE
A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR PFG AND
THANK OUR ENTIRE ORGANIZATION
FOR MAKING THAT POSSIBLE.”
companies. Our organization successfully grew
despite macro-economic pressure, showing the
resiliency of our strategy. Our focus on meeting
the customer where they want allows us to
increase our market share in the U.S. restaurant
space and win new customer accounts across
a range of channels.
the closing, we have made significant progress
integrating Core-Mark. We are encouraged
by their smooth transition into PFG’s family of
companies and the early business success.
By combining Core-Mark’s strength in the
convenience store (c-store) space with PFG’s
foodservice expertise, we have been able to
create a strong pipeline of c-store business
opportunities. This has translated into wins
across the c-store space and boosted our
sales and profit results. We remain confident
that the Core-Mark transaction is well on its
way to creating significant stockholder value
over the long-term.
In fiscal 2022 we also delivered on an important
milestone in our journey to become a leader
in the Environmental, Social and Governance
(“ESG”) space. During the fiscal year, PFG
published its second annual ESG report, which
established our company’s first set of ESG
goals. At PFG, we believe that being a leading
steward for the environment, our community,
and our organization will be part of what defines
our long-term success.
Our strategy and our dedicated associates led
to a successful business performance for PFG.
In fiscal 2022, we achieved total net sales of
$50.9 billion and exceeded the $1 billion mark
in Adjusted EBITDA for the first time in our
company’s history.
The gross profit increase was led by the
acquisition of Core-Mark, which contributed
gross profit of $846.5 million for fiscal 2022.
Also, gross profit increased due to an increase
in gross profit per case driven by inflation and
case growth in Foodservice, particularly in the
independent channel.
ACQUISITIONS AND INTEGRATIONS
PFG’s history as a disciplined and proven
acquirer has been an important element of our
growth strategy over the past several years.
Reinhart Foodservice is now fully integrated
within our Foodservice segment and has
contributed excellent results, and in many
areas Reinhart is now growing faster than our
legacy business. I am incredibly pleased with
the ongoing efforts across our organization to
make this important transaction the success
that it has become. Successful integration
of acquisitions has allowed our company to
augment our organic growth strategy to create
additional stockholder value.
The next opportunity for this value creation,
we believe, will come from the already-strong
and continuing contributions from the
Core-Mark acquisition. We look forward to
continued success with the Core-Mark team.
SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATING
THE MARKETPLACE
The past several years have certainly presented
unique challenges for our industry, customers
and associates. The past 12 months have
seen a disrupted supply chain, high food-cost
inflation and rising fuel prices. Throughout it all,
the dedication of PFG’s associates has allowed
our company to manage the challenges and
build a stronger, more resilient organization.
We believe this will serve us well for the years
ahead. I see a bright future for PFG and thank
our entire organization for making that possible.
Best regards,
Our fiscal 2022 financial results include:
n Total case volume growth of 29%
n Net sales increased 67% to $50.9 billion
George L. Holm
n Gross profit improved 49% to
$5.3 billion
n Net Income of $112.5 million
n Adjusted EBITDA increased 63% to
$1 billion1
