Performance Food Group Company to Participate in 2023 ICR Conference; Reports Preliminary Fiscal Second Quarter of 2023 Financial Results; Increases Fiscal 2023 Adjusted EBITDA Outlook

Performance Food Group Company (PFG) (NYSE: PFGC) is participating in the 2023 ICR Conference today, as previously announced. Ahead of the conference, PFG is announcing preliminary fiscal second quarter of 2023 financial results and is increasing its financial outlook for the full fiscal year 2023.

PFG will webcast its fireside chat live today, January 9, 2023, at 12:30 p.m. ET. The live webcast will be available in listen-only mode on investors.pfgc.com.

Preliminary Fiscal Second Quarter of 2023 Financial Results

For the fiscal second quarter of 2023, PFG expects: net sales to be approximately $13.9 billion; and Adjusted EBITDA1 to be at least $290 million compared to its previously announced expectation for a range of $260 million to $280 million.

Full Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook

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 2023, PFG now expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $1.25 billion to $1.35 billion compared to the prior expectation for a range of $1.23 billion to $1.33 billion.

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, non-cash items, 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.

________________________

1 This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. PFG uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of its business on a consistent basis over time and believes this measure is a useful metric to assess core operating performance. Please see the “Full Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook” and “Preliminary Financial Data” sections of this release for further discussion on Adjusted EBITDA.

Preliminary Financial Data

The preliminary financial results disclosed in this release are PFG’s preliminary estimates of certain financial results for the fiscal second quarter of 2023, which are based on currently available information. PFG has not yet finalized its results for this period and its consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 are not currently available. The Company’s actual results remain subject to the completion of the quarter-end closing process, which includes review by management and PFG’s board of directors, including the audit committee. While carrying out such procedures, PFG may identify items that require it to make adjustments to the preliminary estimates of its results set forth therein. As a result, PFG’s actual results could be different from those set forth therein and the differences could be material. Therefore, a reader should not place undue reliance on these preliminary estimates of PFG’s results, which may differ from PFG’s actual reported results. The preliminary estimates of PFG’s results included herein have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, PFG’s management. PFG’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or compiled such preliminary estimates of PFG’s results. Accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP expresses no opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The preliminary estimates of certain financial results presented herein do not represent a comprehensive statement of PFG’s financial results and should not be considered as final or as a substitute for the information to be filed with the SEC in PFG’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 once it becomes available.

Consistent with historical treatment, PFG’s estimate with respect to Adjusted EBITDA 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, non-cash items, restructuring charges, certain tax items, and charges associated with non-recurring professional and legal fees associated with acquisitions. In addition, for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, PFG’s management has not yet completed its closing procedures and cannot estimate the impact of certain of these income and expense items on its net income, which could be significant, and may be highly variable. As a result, PFG does not provide a reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for its estimate of Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022.
