    Grew Adjusted EBITDA 9.3% to $389 Million and Adjusted EPS 25.9% to $0.68

    Reaffirms Full Year Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS Guidance

    Announces New $1 Billion Share Repurchase Program

    Reduced Net Leverage to 2.7x

    US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE:USFD), one of the largest foodservice distributors in the United States, today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

    First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights

    • Total case volume increased 1.1%; independent restaurant case volume increased 2.5%
    • Net sales increased 4.5% to $9.4 billion
    • Gross profit increased 8.0% to $1.6 billion
    • Net income increased 40.2% to $115 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.3% to $389 million
    • Diluted EPS increased 48.5% to $0.49; Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 25.9% to $0.68

    "During the first quarter we outperformed the industry and again delivered strong profitability, with Adjusted EBITDA growing 9% and Adjusted Diluted EPS increasing 26%, despite the challenging operating environment and weather-related headwinds. Our results speak to the strength of our customer value proposition and relentless execution of our strategy," said Dave Flitman, CEO. "We are delivering consistent share gains with our target customer types, including our 16th consecutive quarter of growth with independent restaurants and 18th consecutive quarter of growth with healthcare."

    Flitman added, "Our focused strategy, combined with our ability to drive improved profitability through controlling what we can control, highlight the resilience of our business model and our ability to adjust to any macro environment. I thank our associates for their hard work and dedication supporting our customers and executing our strategy. Despite near-term macro uncertainty, I remain confident that we will deliver on our 2025 guidance of 8% to 12% Adjusted EBITDA growth and 17% to 23% Adjusted Diluted EPS growth."

    "We again delivered operating leverage improvement, as Adjusted Gross Profit grew faster than Adjusted Operating Expenses, which was driven by our self-help initiatives," added Dirk Locascio, CFO. "We remain focused on effective execution of our initiatives aimed at expanding margins, delivering strong earnings growth and generating substantial cash flow, which drives our confidence in achieving our long-range plan."

    "I am also excited to announce that our Board authorized a new $1 billion share repurchase program, which demonstrates our commitment to return capital to shareholders. Enabled by our strong cash flow and capital structure, we expect to return to more meaningful share repurchases in the second quarter and the balance of the year."

    First Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Results

    Total case volume increased 1.1% from the prior year driven by a 2.5% increase in independent restaurant case volume, a 6.1% increase in healthcare volume and a 3.6% increase in hospitality volume, partially offset by a 4.3% decrease in chain volume. Total organic case volume increased 0.1%, which includes 1.3% organic independent restaurant case volume growth. Net sales of $9.4 billion for the quarter increased 4.5% from the prior year, driven by case volume growth and food cost inflation of 3.0%.

    Gross profit of $1.6 billion increased by $119 million, or 8.0%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume, improved cost of goods sold, pricing optimization and a favorable year-over-year LIFO adjustment. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 17.3%. Adjusted Gross profit was $1.6 billion, an increase of $79 million, or 5.1% from the prior year. Adjusted Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 17.3%.

    Operating expenses of $1.4 billion increased by $60 million, or 4.5%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume and higher distribution, selling and administrative costs, partially offset by continued distribution productivity improvement as well as actions to streamline administrative processes and costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 14.9%. Adjusted Operating expenses were $1.2 billion, an increase of $46 million, or 3.9% from the prior year. Adjusted Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.2%.

    Net income of $115 million, increased by $33 million, or 40.2%, from the prior year. Net income margin was 1.2%, an increase of 31 basis points compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $389 million, increased by $33 million, or 9.3%, from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 4.2%, an increase of 18 basis points compared to the prior year. Diluted EPS was $0.49; Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.68.

    Cash Flow and Debt

    Cash flow provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2025 was $391 million, an increase of $252 million from the prior year due to changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash capital expenditures for the first three months of fiscal year 2025 totaled $84 million, a decrease of $3 million from the prior year, related to investments in information technology, property and equipment and maintenance of distribution facilities.

    Net Debt at the end of the first quarter fiscal year 2025 was $4.7 billion. The ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 2.7x at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to 2.8x at the end of fiscal year 2024.

    During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company repurchased 328,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23 million. The Company had approximately $52 million in remaining funds authorized under its existing $1 billion share repurchase program as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

    On May 7, 2025, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $1 billion.

    M&A Update

    During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company acquired Jake's Finer Foods, a broadline distributor located in Houston, Texas for a purchase price of $92 million. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand and closed on January 10, 2025.

    ____________________

    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 activity and asset impairment charges, share-based compensation expenses, non-cash impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, losses on extinguishments of debt, business transformation costs, other gains and losses, business acquisition and integration related costs and divestiture costs and diluted earnings per share. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance periods. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Statements in this press release which are not historical in nature, including those under the heading "Outlook for Fiscal Year 2025," are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "project," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "outlook," "estimate," "target," "seek," "will," "may," "would," "should," "could," "forecast," "mission," "strive," "more," "goal," or similar expressions (although not all forward-looking statements may contain such words) and are based upon various assumptions and our experience in the industry, as well as historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments. However, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results and there are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including, among others: economic factors affecting consumer confidence and discretionary spending and reducing the consumption of food prepared away from home; cost inflation/deflation and commodity volatility; competition; reliance on third party suppliers and interruption of product supply or increases in product costs; changes in our relationships with customers and group purchasing organizations; our ability to increase or maintain the highest margin portions of our business; achievement of expected benefits from cost savings initiatives; increases in fuel costs; changes in consumer eating habits; cost and pricing structures; the impact of climate change or related legal, regulatory or market measures; impairment charges for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets; the impact of governmental regulations; product recalls and product liability claims; our reputation in the industry; labor relations and increased labor costs and continued access to qualified and diverse labor; indebtedness and restrictions under agreements governing our indebtedness; interest rate increases; disruption of existing technologies and implementation of new technologies; cybersecurity incidents and other technology disruptions; risks associated with intellectual property, including potential infringement; effective consummation of pending acquisitions and effective integration of acquired businesses; potential costs associated with shareholder activism; changes in tax laws and regulations and resolution of tax disputes; certain provisions in our governing documents; health and safety risks to our associates and related losses; adverse judgments or settlements resulting from litigation; extreme weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events; and management of retirement benefits and pension obligations.

    For a detailed discussion of these risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expressed in any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in US Foods' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 13, 2025. Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed from time to time in current, quarterly and annual reports filed by the Company with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's website at 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, Net Debt, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures regarding our operational performance and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    NM - Not Meaningful

    (1)

    Consists primarily of 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)

    Transformational costs represent non-recurring expenses prior to formal launch of strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to the Company. These costs generally relate to third party consulting and non-capitalizable technology. For the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2025, business transformation costs related to projects associated with information technology infrastructure initiatives and related workforce efficiencies. For the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2024, business transformation costs related to projects associated with information technology infrastructure initiatives and related workforce efficiencies.

    (5)

    Includes: (i) aggregate acquisition, integration related costs and divestiture costs of $13 million and $3 million for the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, 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, when the Company has Net loss (GAAP), weighted-average diluted shares outstanding (GAAP) is used.
