CEO Perspective

“US Foods delivered strong results in the third quarter as we continue to execute on the three pillars of our long-range plan, which we introduced earlier this year,” said Andrew Iacobucci, Interim CEO. “Our performance reflects sustained positive momentum, as we drove profitable market share in key customer types and effectively managed gross profit and operating expenses. Our nearly 21% adjusted EBITDA growth underscores our confidence in achieving the high end of our prior adjusted outlook for the year and reflects the progress we are making on our long-range plan. Finally, further highlighting confidence in our future, our Board has authorized a $500 million share repurchase program, which we see as highly accretive to shareholder value at our current share price.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

Net income available to common shareholders was $100 million, an improvement of $45 million compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $351 million, an increase of $60 million or 20.6%, compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 3.9%, an increase of 20 basis points compared to the prior year. Diluted EPS was $0.43; Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.60.

Net sales were $8.9 billion for the quarter, an increase of 13.0% from the prior year, driven by food cost inflation of 12% compared to the same quarter a year ago. Total case volume increased 0.7% from the prior year driven by a 2.9% increase in independent restaurant case volume, a 19.7% increase in hospitality volume and a 2.7% increase in healthcare volume, offset by a 6.8% decrease in chain volume. Year-over-year total case growth for the third quarter was negatively impacted approximately 2.0% by the planned mid-2021 exit of the lower margin grocery retail business the Company temporarily added during the pandemic and the strategic exit of a small number of lower margin chain restaurant and education customers.

Gross profit was $1.5 billion, an increase of 17.6% from the prior year. Key drivers included optimized pricing, increased freight income from improved inbound logistics, cost of goods sold optimization and food cost inflation in multiple product categories. The Company’s LIFO method of inventory costing resulted in an expense of $6 million in 2022 compared to expense of $32 million in 2021 due to inflation in multiple product categories including grocery, disposables and pork. Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 16.4%. Adjusted Gross profit was $1.5 billion, a 15.2% increase from the prior year. Adjusted Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 16.4% and adjusted Gross profit per case continued at strong levels due to the aforementioned factors.

Total operating expenses of $1.2 billion increased by $140 million, or 12.7% from the prior year. Operating expenses increased primarily driven by higher distribution costs, reflecting higher labor costs as a result of increased turnover and higher than normal wage inflation. These increases were partially offset by cost savings initiatives outlined in the long-range plan including: (1) further routing improvements, (2) completion of new warehouse selection technology implementation, and (3) the rollout of new warehouse process enhancements. Operating expenses as a percent of Net sales were 14.0%. Adjusted Operating expenses for the quarter were $1.1 billion, an increase of $132 million or 13.4% from the prior year due to the aforementioned factors. Adjusted Operating expenses as a percent of Net sales were 12.6%.

Nine Month Fiscal 2022 Results

Net income available to common shareholders was $145 million, an improvement of $83 million compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $960 million, an increase of $165 million or 20.8%, compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 3.8%, an increase of 20 basis points compared to the prior year, reflecting the operating leverage from Adjusted Gross profit increasing greater than Adjusted Operating expenses. Diluted EPS was $0.64; Adjusted Diluted EPS was $1.59.

Net sales were $25.5 billion for the first nine months of 2022, an increase of 16.9% from the prior year, driven by food cost inflation of 15% compared to the first nine months a year ago. Total case volume increased 1.3% from the prior year driven by a 3.8% increase in independent restaurant volume, a 35.5% increase in hospitality volume and a 1.9% increase in healthcare volume, partially offset by a 6.2% decrease in chain volume. Year-over-year total case growth for the first nine months was negatively impacted by approximately 3.5% by the planned mid-2021 exit of the lower margin grocery retail business the Company temporarily added during the pandemic and the strategic exit of a small number of lower margin chain restaurant and education customers.

Gross profit was $4.0 billion, an increase of 18.3% from the prior year. Key drivers included an increase in total case volume, optimized pricing, increased freight income from improved inbound logistics, cost of goods sold optimization and food cost inflation in multiple product categories. The increase in Gross profit was partially offset by an unfavorable year-over-year LIFO adjustment. Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 15.8%. Adjusted Gross profit was $4.2 billion, a 17.3% increase from the prior year. Adjusted Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 16.4% and adjusted Gross profit per case was strong due to the aforementioned factors.

Total operating expenses of $3.6 billion increased $514 million, or 16.4% from the prior year. Operating expenses increased primarily due to greater volume and higher distribution costs, reflecting higher labor costs as a result of increased turnover and higher than normal wage inflation. These increases were partially offset by cost savings initiatives outlined in the long-range plan including: (1) further routing improvements, (2) completion of new warehouse selection technology implementation, and (3) the rollout of new warehouse process enhancements. Operating expenses as a percent of Net sales were 14.3%. Adjusted Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2022 were $3.2 billion, an increase of $450 million or 16.1% from the prior year due to the aforementioned factors. Adjusted Operating expenses as a percent of Net sales were 12.7%.

Cash Flow and Debt

Cash flow provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $613 million, an increase of $93 million from the prior year. Cash capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 totaled $201 million, an increase of $28 million from the prior year period due to investments in information technology, new construction and expansion of distribution facilities and property and equipment for fleet replacement.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company used cash-on-hand to make a $100 million voluntary prepayment on the 2021 Incremental Term Loan Facility. Subsequent to quarter-end, a $100 million voluntary prepayment was made on the 2019 Incremental Term Loan Facility in October 2022.

Net Debt at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.6 billion. The ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 3.7x at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to 4.6x at the end of fiscal 2021 and 4.8x at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $500 million of its outstanding common stock. The size and timing of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, general business and market conditions and other factors. Under the share repurchase program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 20221

The Company is updating its 2022 guidance to:

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $1.28-$1.30 billion
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.10-$2.20
  • Interest expense of $250-$255 million
  • Cash capital expenditures of $270-$280 million with fleet capital leases to be an additional ~$125 million
  • Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage of approximately 3.5x by end of fiscal year 2022

_______________________________

1 The Company is not providing a reconciliation of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of certain significant items, including restructuring costs and asset impairment charges, share-based compensation expenses, non-cash impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, losses on extinguishments of debt, business transformation costs, other gains and losses, business acquisition and integration related costs and diluted earnings per share. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance periods. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release which are not historical in nature, including those under the heading “Share Repurchase Program” and “Outlook for Fiscal Year 2022” and about the anticipated size and timing of our share repurchases and the anticipated impact thereof on our financial performance and liquidity are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “target,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecast,” “mission,” “strive,” “more,” “goal,” or similar expressions (although not all forward-looking statements may contain such words) and are based upon various assumptions and our experience in the industry, as well as historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments. However, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results and there are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including, among others: economic factors affecting consumer confidence and discretionary spending and reducing the consumption of food prepared away from home; cost inflation/deflation and volatile commodity costs; increases in food and fuel costs; competition; reliance on third party suppliers and interruption of product supply or increases in product costs; changes in our relationships with customers and group purchasing organizations; our ability to increase or maintain the highest margin portions of our business; achievement of expected benefits from cost savings initiatives; changes in consumer eating habits; cost and pricing structures; the extent and duration of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us; environmental, health and safety and other governmental regulation, including actions taken by national, state and local governments to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, such as travel restrictions or bans, social distancing requirements, and required closures of non-essential businesses; impairment charges for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets; product recalls and product liability claims; our reputation in the industry; indebtedness and restrictions under agreements governing our indebtedness; interest rate increases; the replacement of London Interbank Offered Rate with an alternative reference rate; labor relations and increased labor costs and continued access to qualified and diverse labor; risks associated with intellectual property, including potential infringement; disruption of existing technologies and implementation of new technologies; cybersecurity incidents and other technology disruptions; effective integration of acquired businesses; changes in tax laws and regulations and resolution of tax disputes; costs and risks associated with current and changing government laws and regulations; adverse judgments or settlements resulting from litigation; extreme weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events, including pandemics and the rapid spread of contagious illnesses; and management of retirement benefits and pension obligations.

For a detailed discussion of these risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those anticipated or expressed in any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 17, 2022. Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed from time to time in current, quarterly and annual reports filed by the Company with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additionally, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment; new risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks nor identify all uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release and are based on information and estimates available to us at this time. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP financial measures regarding our operational performance and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We use Adjusted Gross profit and Adjusted Operating expenses as supplemental measures to GAAP measures to focus on period-over-period changes in our business and believe this information is helpful to investors. Adjusted Gross profit is Gross profit adjusted to remove the impact of the LIFO inventory reserve adjustments. Adjusted Operating expenses are Operating expenses adjusted to exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance.

We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. EBITDA is Net income, plus Interest expense-net, Income tax provision, and Depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for (1) Restructuring costs and asset impairment charges; (2) Share-based compensation expense; (3) the non-cash impact of LIFO reserve adjustments; (4) loss on extinguishment of debt; (5) Business transformation costs; and (6) other gains, losses or costs as specified in the agreements governing our indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales.

We use Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio as supplemental measures to GAAP measures to review the liquidity of our operations. Net Debt is defined as total debt net of total Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash remaining on the balance sheet as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. Net Leverage Ratio represents Net Debt divided by Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio are useful financial metrics to assess our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments. Net Debt is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Cash Flows Provided by Operations or Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities.

We believe that Adjusted Net income is a useful measure of operating performance for both management and investors because it excludes items that are not reflective of our core operating performance and provides an additional view of our operating performance including depreciation, interest expense, and Income taxes on a consistent basis from period to period. Adjusted Net income is Net income excluding such items as restructuring costs and asset impairment charges, Share-based compensation expense, the non-cash impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, loss on extinguishment of debt, Business transformation costs and other items, and adjusted for the tax effect of the exclusions and discrete tax items. We believe that Adjusted Net income may be used by investors, analysts, and other interested parties to facilitate period-over-period comparisons and provides additional clarity as to how factors and trends impact our operating performance.

We use Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, which is calculated by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Diluted Earnings per Share, by excluding the same items excluded in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to the extent that each such item was included in the applicable GAAP financial measure. We believe the presentation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to investors because the measurement excludes amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. We also believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to investors because these metrics may be used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in our industry.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance as well as our performance relative to our competitors as they assist in highlighting trends, (b) to set internal sales targets and spending budgets, (c) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting, (d) to assess financial discipline over operational expenditures, and (e) as an important factor in determining variable compensation for management and employees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used in connection with certain covenants and restricted activities under the agreements governing our indebtedness. We also believe these and similar non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

We caution readers that our definitions of Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures used by other companies. Definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the schedules attached to this press release.

NM - Not Meaningful

(1)

Consists primarily of non-CEO severance and related costs, organizational realignment costs and asset impairment charges.

(2)

Share-based compensation expense for expected vesting of stock awards and employee stock purchase plan.

(3)

Represents the impact of LIFO reserve adjustments.

(4)

Consists primarily of costs related to significant process and systems redesign across multiple functions.

(5)

Includes: (i) aggregate acquisition and integration related costs of $6 million and $4 million for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, respectively; and (ii) other gains, losses or costs that we are permitted to addback for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA under certain agreements governing our indebtedness.

(6)

Represents our income tax provision adjusted for the tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted net income and the removal of applicable discrete tax items. Applicable discrete tax items include changes in tax laws or rates, changes related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits, discrete changes in valuation allowances, and excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation. The tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted net income is computed using a statutory tax rate after taking into account the impact of permanent differences and valuation allowances.

(7)

Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated as Adjusted net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding (Non-GAAP).

(8)

For purposes of the Adjusted Diluted EPS calculation (Non-GAAP), when the Company has net income (GAAP), weighted average diluted shares outstanding (Non-GAAP) is used and assumes conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, and, when the Company has net loss (GAAP) and assumed conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock would be antidilutive, weighted-average diluted shares outstanding (GAAP) is used.
