Second-Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Summary

Total case volume increased 3.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period, including 6.6% independent case growth. Total organic case volume was flat in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period. Total organic case volume benefited from a 4.3% increase in organic independent cases, growth in Performance Brands cases, and broad-based growth across Vistar's channels, offset by declines in our Foodservice Chain business.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 grew 8.3% to $13.9 billion compared to the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation and channel mix. Overall product cost inflation continued to decline through the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and was approximately 10.3%.

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 grew 17.3% to $1.5 billion compared to the prior year period. The gross profit increase was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit per case driven by a favorable shift in the mix of cases sold and growth in the independent channel.

Operating expenses rose 11.0% to $1.4 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses were primarily due to increases in personnel expenses, primarily related to salaries and wages, commissions, annual bonus, and benefits, and fuel expense due to higher fuel prices.

 

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $62.7 million year-over-year to $71.1 million. The increase was primarily a result of the $86.2 million increase in operating profit, partially offset by a $22.1 million increase in income tax expense. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately 26.1% compared to 26.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 differed from the prior year period due to the relative size of stock-based compensation and other discrete permanent items as a percentage of book income.

For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA rose 28.1% to $308.8 million compared to the prior year period.

Diluted EPS increased $0.41 to $0.46 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period. Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 45.6% to $0.83 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period.

First-Half Fiscal 2023 Financial Summary

Total case volume increased 9.4% for the first half of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period, including 6.7% independent case growth. Total organic case volume was flat in the first half of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period. Total organic case volume benefited from a 4.4% increase in organic independent cases, growth in Performance Brands cases, and broad-based growth across Vistar's channels, offset by declines in our Foodservice Chain business.

Net sales for the first half of fiscal 2023 grew 23.2% to $28.6 billion compared to the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Core-Mark in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation. Overall product cost inflation for the Company was approximately 11.3%.

Gross profit for the first half of fiscal 2023 grew 27.0% to $3.1 billion compared to the prior year period. The gross profit increase was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit per case driven by the acquisition of Core-Mark, procurement related gains, and growth in the independent channel, partially offset by an increase in the last-in-first-out ("LIFO") reserve.

Operating expenses rose 18.3% to $2.7 billion in the first half of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Core-Mark, which contributed an incremental $192.8 million of operating expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to the four months of operating expenses in fiscal 2022. Operating expenses also increased as a result of increases in personnel expenses and fuel expense due to higher fuel prices, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Depreciation and amortization increased $29.2 million primarily as a result of prior year acquisitions.

 

Net income for the first half of fiscal 2023 increased $153.7 million year-over-year to $166.8 million. The increase was primarily a result of the $229.2 million increase in operating profit, partially offset by a $55.5 million increase in income tax expense and a $16.9 million increase in interest expense. The effective tax rate in the first half of fiscal 2023 was approximately 26.2% compared to 22.6% in the first half of fiscal 2022. The effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2023 differed from the prior year period due to the relative size of stock-based compensation and other discrete permanent items as a percentage of book income.

For the first half of fiscal 2023, Adjusted EBITDA rose 56.2% to $663.5 million compared to the prior year period.

 


 

Diluted EPS increased $0.98 to $1.07 per share in the first half of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period. Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 89.1% to $1.91 per share in the first half of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period.

Cash Flow and Capital Spending

 

In the first six months of 2023, PFG provided $424.5 million in cash flow from operating activities compared to $153.8 million of cash flow provided by operating activities in the prior year period. The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2023 was largely driven by higher operating income and improvements in working capital compared to the prior year period.

In the first six months of fiscal 2023, PFG invested $98.1 million in capital expenditures, an increase of $29.6 million versus the prior year period. In the first six months of fiscal 2023, PFG delivered free cash flow of $326.4 million compared to free cash flow of $85.3 million in the prior year.1

Second-Quarter Fiscal 2023 Segment Results

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company changed its measure of segment profit to Adjusted EBITDA as this is the metric reported to the Company's management for purposes of reviewing operating results and making decisions about allocating resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and excludes certain items that the Company does not consider part of its segments' core operating results, including stock-based compensation expense, changes in the LIFO reserve, acquisition, integration and reorganization expenses, and gains and losses related to fuel derivatives.

Foodservice

Second-quarter fiscal 2023 net sales for Foodservice increased 11.0% to $6.9 billion compared to the prior year period. This increase in net sales was driven by an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation and a prior year acquisition. Overall product cost inflation for Foodservice was approximately 9.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Securing new and expanding business with independent customers resulted in organic independent case growth of approximately 4.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period. For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, independent sales as a percentage of total segment sales were 38.3%.

Second-quarter fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA for Foodservice increased 27.9% to $214.2 million compared to the prior year period. Gross profit contributing to Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period driven by a favorable shift in the mix of cases sold to independent customers, including more Performance Brands products sold to our independent customers. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by expected decreases in procurement gains as the rate of inflation declines. Operating expenses impacting Foodservice's Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period as a result of a prior year acquisition, as well as an increase in personnel expenses and fuel expense as compared to the prior year period.

 

Vistar

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, net sales for Vistar increased 23.3% to $1.1 billion compared to the prior year period. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation and channel mix, as well as case volume growth.

Second-quarter fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA for Vistar increased 85.5% to $92.2 million versus the prior year period. The increase was the result of a 34.8% increase in gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period, partially offset by an 10.5% increase in operating expenses. The increase in gross profit was driven by a favorable shift in the mix of cases sold, procurement related gains, and growth in cases sold. Operating expenses impacting Vistar's Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily as a result of the increased case volume described above, and the resulting impact on variable operational and selling expenses. Operating expenses also increased as a result of increases in personnel expenses and fuel expense.

Convenience

Second-quarter fiscal 2023 net sales for Convenience increased 2.7% to $5.9 billion compared to the prior year period. Net sales related to cigarettes for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $3.6 billion, including $1.0 billion related to excise taxes, compared to net sales of cigarettes of $3.8 billion, including $1.1 billion of excise taxes, for the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to case growth in food and foodservice related products and an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation.

 


 

Second-quarter fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA for Convenience decreased 9.4% to $69.3 million compared to the prior year period. Gross profit contributing to Convenience's Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year period driven by a favorable shift in mix of products sold, partially offset by a decrease in procurement gains as a result of the timing of price increases and a decline in the rate of inflation. Operating expenses impacting Convenience's Adjusted EBITDA increased $27.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of increased personnel expenses primarily related to related to salaries and commissions, and fuel expense.

 

Fiscal 2023 & Long-Term Outlook

 

For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, PFG expects net sales to be in a range of $13.7 billion to $14.0 billion. For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, PFG expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $270 million to $290 million.

 

For the full fiscal year 2023, PFG continues to expect net sales to be in a range of $57 billion to $59 billion. For the full fiscal year of 2023, PFG now expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $1.27 billion to $1.35 billion compared to the prior expectation of $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion.

 

PFG reiterates its previously announced 3-year net sales and Adjusted EBITDA targets. The Company continues to expect to achieve annual net sales of $62 to $64 billion and Adjusted EBITDA between $1.5 and $1.7 billion in fiscal 2025.

 

PFG’s Adjusted EBITDA outlook excludes the impact of certain income and expense items that management believes are not part of underlying operations. These items may include, but are not limited to, loss on early extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges, certain tax items, and charges associated with non-recurring professional and legal fees associated with acquisitions. PFG’s management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these income and expense items on its reported net income, which could be significant, are difficult to predict, and may be highly variable. As a result, PFG does not provide a reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for its Adjusted EBITDA outlook. Please see the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of this release for a discussion of certain risks to PFG’s outlook.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release and the accompanying financial statement tables include several financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow. Such measures are not recognized terms under GAAP, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not indicative of net income as determined under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and other non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using these measures to evaluate PFG’s liquidity or financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because of varying methods of calculation.

PFG uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of its business on a consistent basis over time and for business planning purposes. 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. PFG believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of PFG’s performance. PFG believes this measure is a useful metric to assess PFG’s operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that PFG believes are not representative of PFG’s core business.

Management measures operating performance based on our 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 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 the PFG’s $4.0 billion secured credit facility (the "ABL Facility") and indentures governing its outstanding notes (other than certain pro forma adjustments permitted under our ABL Facility and indentures relating to the Adjusted EBITDA contribution of acquired entities or businesses prior to the acquisition date). Under our ABL Facility and indentures, PFG’s 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 the ABL Facility and indentures).

 

Management also uses Adjusted Diluted EPS, which is calculated by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure by excluding the same items excluded in PFG’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as well as amortization of intangible assets, to the extent that each such item was included in the applicable GAAP financial measure. For business combinations, the Company generally allocates a portion of the purchase price to intangible assets and such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. The amount of the allocation is based on estimates and assumptions made by management and is subject to amortization over the useful lives of the intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price from an acquisition allocated to intangible assets and the term of its related amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition, and thus the Company does not believe it is reflective of ongoing operations. Intangible asset amortization excluded from Adjusted Diluted EPS represents the entire amount recorded within the Company’s GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from Adjusted Diluted EPS. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from Adjusted Diluted EPS because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired, or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised.

 

Management also uses Free Cash Flow, which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (purchases of property, plant, and equipment). PFG also believes that the presentation of Free Cash Flow enhances an investor’s understanding of PFG’s ability to make strategic investments and manage debt levels.

 

PFG believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow is useful to investors because these metrics provide insight into underlying business trends and year-over-year results and are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in PFG’s industry.

 

The following tables include a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Segment Results

The Company has three reportable segments: Foodservice, Vistar, and Convenience. Management evaluates the performance of these segments based on various operating and financial metrics, including their respective sales growth and Adjusted EBITDA. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company changed its measure of segment profit to Adjusted EBITDA as this is the metric reported to the Company's chief operating decision maker for purposes of reviewing operating results and making decisions about allocating resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and excludes certain items that the Company does not consider part of its segments' core operating results, including stock-based compensation expense, changes in the LIFO reserve, acquisition, integration and reorganization expenses, and gains and losses related to fuel derivatives.

Corporate & All Other is comprised of corporate overhead and certain operations that are not considered separate reportable segments based on their size. This includes the operations of our internal logistics unit responsible for managing and allocating inbound logistics revenue and expense.

The presentation and amounts for the three and six months ended January 1, 2022 have been restated to reflect the change to the measure of segment profit to Adjusted EBITDA as described above.

The following tables set forth net sales and Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):
