INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Members of
Reyes Holdings, L.L.C. and Lone Oak Realty LLC:

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Reinhart Foodservice Business (Carve-Out of Certain Operations of Reyes Holdings, L.L.C. and Lone Oak Realty LLC) (collectively, the “Business”), which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related combined statements of earnings, comprehensive income, members’ capital, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Business’ preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Business’ internal control.
 
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.


Opinion
 
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Reinhart Foodservice Business as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REINHART FOODSERVICE BUSINESS
(CARVE-OUT OF CERTAIN OPERATIONS OF REYES
HOLDINGS, L.L.C. AND LONE OAK REALTY LLC)

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

  1.
BUSINESS
 
Reinhart Foodservice, L.L.C. (Reinhart), a Delaware limited liability company, is a broadline distributor of items consisting primarily of food, paper and related products to restaurants, schools, healthcare, government and other institutions in the mid-western, mid-eastern and eastern sections of the United States (U.S.). Reinhart is a wholly owned subsidiary of Reyes Holdings, L.L.C. (Reyes). Reinhart owns the following limited liabilities companies: Mississippi Valley Freight, LLC, Reinhart Louisiana Holdings, L.L.C., Reinhart Foodservice Louisiana, L.L.C. and Reinhart Transportation, LLC.

Lone Oak Realty LLC (Lone Oak, and collectively with Reyes, “Members”) owns commercial real estate in the continental U.S. through a series of wholly owned subsidiaries and leases those properties to subsidiaries of Reyes.

Reinhart leases certain of its facilities from subsidiaries of Lone Oak, including Lone Oak – Bowling Green, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Cincinnati, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Coal Township, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Detroit, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Essex, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Harahan, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Kansas City, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Mt. Pleasant, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Oak Creek, L.L.C., Lone Elm – Omaha, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Rogers, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Shreveport, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Shawano, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Springfield, L.L.C., Lone Oak – Suffolk, L.L.C. and Lone Oak – Taunton, L.L.C., collectively the “Lone Oak Reinhart Subsidiaries.”

The accompanying carve-out combined financial statements include the historical accounts of the Reinhart foodservice business of Reyes and the historical accounts of the Lone Oak Reinhart Subsidiaries within Lone Oak related to the Reinhart foodservice business, collectively referred to as the “Reinhart Foodservice Business or the Business.”

Fiscal Year—Reyes’ fiscal year consists of twelve months ending on December 31, but certain of its businesses, including Reinhart, use fiscal years consisting of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday in December closest to December 31. The Reinhart fiscal years reported consist of 52 weeks in the year ended December 29, 2018 and 52 weeks in the year ended December 30, 2017.

Basis of Presentation—Stand-alone financial statements have not been historically prepared for the Business. The carve-out combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented on a stand-alone basis.

The Business is comprised of certain Reyes and Lone Oak wholly owned legal entities and certain components of other legal entities in which the Reinhart Foodservice Business operates in conjunction with other Reyes and Lone Oak businesses. For the shared entities in which discrete financial information was not available, allocation methodologies were applied to certain accounts to attribute and allocate amounts to the Business as discussed further in Note 8—Relationship with Members and Related Entities.

- 8 -

For the purposes of the accompanying stand-alone carve-out combined financial statements, the Business has been defined as the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses that are attributable to the Business’ operations including: distinct distribution facilities and the associated costs of those facilities, transportation vehicles and their costs which are dedicated to the aforementioned facilities, inventories, the dedicated workforce (e.g., facilities employees, sales force, product category management and back office), customer relationships specific to the Business and the receivables and revenues associated with those sales, direct vendor relationships and the payables and costs associated with those costs, and intellectual property specific to the Business (e.g., brands and trademarks) and the cost to maintain that intellectual property.

The results of operations also include allocations of (i) costs for administrative functions and services performed on behalf of the Business by centralized corporate functions within Reyes; and (ii) Reyes’ general corporate expenses. See Note 8—Relationship with Members and Related Entities for a description of the allocation methodologies employed.

All charges and allocations of costs for facilities, functions, and services performed by Reyes have been deemed paid by the Business to Reyes in the period in which the cost was recorded in the combined statements of earnings. All of the allocations and estimates in the combined financial statements are based on assumptions that management of Reyes and the Business believe are reasonable. However, the combined financial statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Business in the future or if the Business had been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Business had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, such as the division of shared services in legal, finance, human resources, information systems, supply chain, tax, treasury, capital deployment, and marketing, among others. The Business believes that the combined financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Business.

  2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Combination—In preparing the combined financial statements all significant intercompany accounts and transactions within the Business have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are net of allowances of $6,145 and $6,568 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Other receivables primarily include amounts due from suppliers and result from promotional activities and sales allowance participation.

- 9 -

Inventories—Inventories, consisting of product for resale, are valued at the lower of cost or market. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, substantially all of the Business’ inventory was valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

If the first-in, first-out method had been used for the Business’ inventory, inventories would have been $34,860 and $35,313 higher as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Business liquidated certain LIFO inventories that were carried at higher costs prevailing in prior years, which decreased net earnings by approximately $151 and $301, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment—Depreciation is computed, generally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Amounts for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major expenditures for improvements which are expected to increase the useful life of an item are capitalized to the appropriate asset accounts. Gains and losses on sales of property and equipment are credited or charged to income. The estimated useful lives for the assets are as follows:

Buildings and improvements
3–40 years
Transportation equipment
5–10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
3–10 years
Computer equipment and software
3–8 years
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill and intangible assets primarily result from business acquisitions. The Business’ primary intangible assets are customer relationships and trademarks. Customer relationships and certain trademark intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 7-18 years using the straight-line method. Certain trademarks are not amortized because they have indefinite useful lives.

Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate long-lived assets described below. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in an operating company’s forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and operating margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts. The Business did not recognize any intangible impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017.
 
- 10 -

The Business records the excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired as goodwill. The Business reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value may be below its carrying value. If the fair value of is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss, if any, is recorded for the difference between the implied fair value and carrying value of goodwill. The Business calculates the fair value considering an income approach which calculates the fair value using a discounted net cash flow model. Internally forecasted future cash flows, which the Business believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate). The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, and considers whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the company’s forecasted performance. The Business did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Insurance Accruals—Reyes retains selected levels of property and casualty risks, primarily related to employee health care, workers’ compensation claims, and other casualty losses. Many of these potential losses are covered under conventional insurance programs with third party carriers having high deductible limits. As a result, Reyes accrues liabilities for incurred but not reported losses related to these retained risks which are calculated based upon loss development factors that consider a number of elements, including claims history and expected trends. The Business participates in Reyes sponsored insurance plans. These combined financial statements include the liabilities and expenses related to these insurance plans allocated to the Business using both specifically identifiable costs and shared costs based on certain cost sharing metrics. Self-insurance liabilities included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, are $46,074 and $45,779, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of—The Business reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to not be recoverable, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the discounted net cash flows of the assets. There was no long-lived asset impairment during 2018 and 2017.

Income Taxes—The Business accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes. The entities within the Business are treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the members are responsible for United States federal and substantially all state income tax liabilities arising out of the operations.

Revenue Recognition—The Business recognizes revenue at the time products are delivered and distribution services are provided to the customer.

In accordance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, the Business records sales allowances provided to its customers as a reduction of net sales and consideration received from suppliers as a reduction to cost of sales.

Financial Instruments—Financial instruments measured at carrying value consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. Investments held related to the deferred compensation plan assets are recorded at fair value and are included in the accompanying combined balance sheets as a component of other assets. Fair value for all other financial instruments is considered to be carrying value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

- 11 -

The Business uses diesel fuel swap agreements to manage its exposure to changes in diesel fuel costs. Proceeds or payments on these agreements are recorded as adjustments to fuel cost in delivery expenses in the accompanying combined statements of earnings. The Business elected to use hedge accounting for certain of these swap agreements. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the notional amount outstanding on the fuel swap agreements accounted for as cash flow hedges was 16,909,000 and 10,206,000 gallons, respectively.

The Business uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates for its floating rate debt. These interest rate swaps qualify as cash flow hedges. The interest rate differential received on the swaps was $172 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and differential paid on the swaps was $592 for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and was recognized in the combined statements of earnings as a decrease and an increase in interest expense, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the notional principal amount outstanding on the interest rate swaps was $78,891, and $82,429, respectively.

In accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the fair value of the derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges is recorded in the accompanying combined balance sheets as a component of accrued expenses in 2018 and prepaid expenses and other current assets in 2017, and in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of members’ capital. The gain (loss) on the hedged item is reported in the combined statements of earnings on the same line as the hedged item. During 2018 and 2017, there was no ineffectiveness.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Business adjusted its derivative financial instruments to fair value, which resulted in a decrease of $9,434 and an increase of $3,462, respectively, to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for those instruments where hedge accounting was elected.

Fair Value Measurements—ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level I, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level II, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level III, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

- 12 -

The Business uses the market approach to value its financial assets and liabilities, and there were no changes in valuation techniques during the year ended December 31, 2018. The following table presents information about the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Comprehensive Income—The Business reports comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. ASC Topic 220 requires companies to report all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and distributions to owners, in a financial statement for the period in which they are recognized. The Business has chosen to disclose comprehensive income, which encompasses net earnings and derivative instrument gains and losses, as part of the combined statements of comprehensive income. The accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 consists of a loss of $4,668 and a gain of $4,766 on derivative instruments adjustments, respectively.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements—In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendment removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Business early adopted this new guidance and there is not a material impact on the combined financial statements.
- 13 -

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The ASU supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. The ASU requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 for non-public companies. The Business is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on the combined financial statements, however the impact is expected to be material.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The ASU requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Business is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on the combined financial statements.

Subsequent Events—In July 2019, Performance Food Group Company entered into an agreement with Reyes and Lone Oak to acquire the membership interests of Reinhart and the Lone Oak Reinhart Subsidiaries.

The Business has evaluated subsequent events through August 27, 2019. There were no other subsequent events that require recognition of disclosure.

Management is of the opinion that the outcome of such litigation will not have material adverse effect on the Business’ financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
