Item 1A. Risk Factors
47 rewritten, 17 added, 13 removed, 265 unchanged
Public health crises, pandemics and epidemics could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of [removed: operations.][added: operations, and disrupt the operations of our business partners, suppliers and customers.]
[removed: While our operations have generally stabilized since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we] [added: We] cannot predict with certainty the extent to which our operations may be impacted in the future by [removed: any similar] [added: the] effects of [removed: a more severe variant of COVID-19 or other] public health crises, pandemics, or epidemics on us or on our business partners, suppliers and customers.
Fear of these or similar events may [removed: further] alter consumer confidence, behavior and spending patterns, and could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries (or globally), resulting in an economic downturn that could affect customers’ demand for our products.
In response to [removed: the outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic,] [added: public health crises,] governmental authorities in many countries in which we, our customers and our suppliers [removed: were] [added: are] present and [removed: operated, imposed] [added: operate, may impose] mandatory closures, [removed: sought] [added: seek] voluntary closures and [removed: imposed] [added: impose] restrictions on, or advisories with respect to, travel, business operations and public gatherings or interactions.
Among other matters, these actions [removed: required] [added: could require] or strongly [removed: urged] [added: urge] various venues where foodservice products [removed: were] [added: are] served, including restaurants, schools, hotels and cruise liners, to reduce or discontinue operations, which [added: could] adversely [removed: affected] [added: affect] demand in the foodservice industry, including demand for our products and services.
[added: The price] and [added: supply of fuel can fluctuate significantly based on international, political and] economic circumstances (such as the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation [removed: (Russia))] [added: (Russia) or military conflicts in the Middle East)] as well as other factors outside our control, such as actions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other oil and gas producers, regional production patterns, weather conditions and environmental [removed: concerns.]
Local or regional geopolitical events, such as Brexit and, civil unrest in France in 2023 related to socioeconomic issues, have negatively impacted our [removed: operations.][added: operations in the past.]
In addition, military conflicts, such as the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and [added: conflicts in] the [removed: Israel-Hamas War,] [added: Middle East,] or other geopolitical events, can negatively impact global demand.
Although our business has not been materially impacted to date by [removed: the] ongoing [removed: invasion of Ukraine by Russia or the Israel-Hamas War,] [added: military conflicts,] it is impossible to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our suppliers and customers, will be impacted in the short and long term, or the ways in which the conflict may impact our business.
These conditions include shortages of qualified labor for our suppliers, work slowdowns, work interruptions, strikes or other job actions by employees of suppliers, short-term weather conditions or more prolonged climate change, crop and other agricultural conditions, water shortages, transportation interruptions (such as shortages of ocean cargo containers), unavailability of fuel or increases in fuel costs, product recalls, competitive demands, civil insurrection or social unrest, terrorist attacks or international hostilities (such as [removed: the invasion of Ukraine by Russia] [added: ongoing military conflicts), changes in trade relations] and [removed: the Israel-Hamas War)] [added: policies, including tariffs, retaliatory tariffs] and [added: other trade barriers, and] natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or other human or animal disease outbreaks or other catastrophic events (including, but not limited to, foodborne illnesses).
Climate [removed: change, or] [added: change and other social and governance matters, as well as] the legal, regulatory or market measures being implemented to address [removed: climate change,] [added: such matters,] may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
time to time we establish and publicly announce goals and commitments related to [removed: corporate social responsibility] [added: sustainability] matters, including those related to reducing our impact on the environment.
Our current sustainability goals include to reduce our Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 27.5% by 2030 and [removed: strongly] [added: to continue to] encourage suppliers [removed: representing 67% of] [added: to reduce] Scope 3 emissions (focusing on purchased goods and services and upstream transportation [removed: suppliers) to set science-based targets by 2026.][added: suppliers).]
While we remain committed to being responsive to climate change and reducing our [removed: carbon] [added: greenhouse gas] footprint, there can be no assurance that our goals and strategic plans to achieve those goals will be successful, that the costs related to climate transition will not be higher than expected, that the necessary technological advancements will occur in the timeframe we expect, or at all, or that proposed regulation or deregulation related to climate change will not have a negative competitive impact, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our processes and controls for reporting climate-related information across our operations are evolving along with multiple disparate standards for identifying, measuring and reporting sustainability metrics, including disclosures that may be required by the SEC, European and other regulators, [added: such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in the European Union] and [added: the California Climate Accountability Package, and] such standards may change over time, which could result in significant revisions to our current goals, reported progress in achieving such goals, or our ability to achieve such goals in the future.
[removed: In addition,] [added: Any] adverse publicity about regulatory or legal action against us could damage our reputation and image, undermine our customers’ confidence in us and reduce short-term or long-term demand for our products and services, even if the regulatory or legal action is unfounded or not material to our operations.
We may not be able to retain or renew existing agreements, maintain relationships with any of our customers on acceptable terms, or at all, or collect amounts that insolvent [removed: customers might owe us.]
If our products are alleged to have caused [removed: injury or] [added: injury,] illness, or [added: death, or] to have failed to comply with governmental regulations, we may need to recall or withdraw our products and may experience product liability claims.
We, like any other foodservice distributor, [added: have been and] may [added: continue to] be subject to product recalls, including voluntary recalls or withdrawals, if the products we distribute [added: have been shown to or] are alleged to have caused [removed: injury or] [added: injury,] illness, [added: or death,] to have been mislabeled, misbranded, or adulterated or to otherwise have violated applicable governmental regulations.
Any [removed: future] product recall or [removed: withdrawal] [added: withdrawal, whether as a result of injury, illness or death or otherwise and] that results in substantial and unexpected expenditures, destruction of product inventory, damage to our reputation and/or lost sales due to the unavailability of the product for a period of time could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
[removed: We] [added: In the past we have, and in the future we may] also face the risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of products sold by Sysco [added: does cause or] is alleged to have caused [removed: injury] [added: injury, illness,] or [removed: illness.][added: death.]
[removed: We cannot be sure that consumption of] our products will not cause a health-related [removed: illness] [added: illness, injury or death] in the future or that we will not be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters.
Further, even if a product liability claim is [added: false, untrue,] unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused [removed: illness or] [added: illness,] injury [added: or death] could adversely affect our reputation with existing and potential customers and our corporate and brand image.
We generally seek contractual indemnification and insurance coverage from parties supplying our products, but this indemnification or insurance coverage is limited, as a practical matter, to [added: the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party and the insured limits of any insurance provided by suppliers.]
If we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification [removed: available,] [added: available (or if such indemnitor is unable to fulfill its indemnity obligations for whatever reason),] product liability relating to defective products [added: or claims] could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
[removed: out] [added: Proposed or recently enacted legal requirements, such as those requiring the phase-out] of certain ozone-depleting substances, and proposals for the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, may require us to upgrade or replace equipment, or may increase our transportation or other operating costs.
In the normal course of business, we and our third-party providers experience cybersecurity threats and incidents of varying degrees from time-to-time, including [removed: ransomware] [added: ransomware, ransom-related extortion,] and phishing attacks, as well as distributed denial of service attacks and the theft of data.
For example, [removed: as disclosed] in [removed: our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our third quarter of fiscal 2023, in] March 2023, Sysco became aware of a cybersecurity event perpetrated by a threat actor believed to have begun [removed: in January 2023.][added: earlier that year.]
[removed: Potential consequences of a future material cybersecurity incident include: business disruption; disruption to systems; theft, destruction, loss, corruption, misappropriation or unauthorized release of sensitive and/or confidential information or] intellectual property (including personal information in violation of one or more privacy laws); loss of revenue; reputational and brand damage; and potential liability, including litigation or other legal actions against us or the imposition by governmental authorities of penalties, fines, fees or liabilities, which, in turn, could cause us to incur significantly increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs and the loss of customers.
[added: We] have also outsourced several information technology support services and administrative functions to third-party service providers, including cloud-based service providers, and may outsource other functions in the future to achieve cost savings and efficiencies.
In addition, [added: through the use of social engineering,] cyber criminals are increasing their attacks on individual employees with business email compromise scams [added: and targeted phishing attacks] designed to trick victims into transferring sensitive data or funds, or steal credentials that compromise information systems.
Further, we anticipate continuing to devote significant resources to maintaining and upgrading our security measures generally, including those we employ [added: that are designed] to protect personal information against these cybersecurity threats.
[removed: Failure to] comply with data privacy laws can result in substantial fines or penalties, legal liability and / or reputational damage and litigation.
In the UK and Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (the [removed: GDPR), which came into effect in 2018,] [added: GDPR)] places stringent requirements on companies when handling personal [removed: data.][added: data and local regulatory guidance continues to evolve.]
[removed: Both] [added: Additionally, both] the GDPR and the [removed: CCPA] [added: California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the CCPA)] are continuously evolving and developing and may be interpreted and applied differently from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may create inconsistent or conflicting requirements.
For example, the California Privacy Rights Act (the [removed: CPRA), which was approved by California voters as a ballot initiative in November 2020,] [added: CPRA)] modifies the CCPA significantly, further enhancing and extending an individual’s rights over their personal data and the obligations placed on companies that handle this data.
Furthermore, [removed: since 2020,] [added: state-level momentum continues to increase as] numerous other U.S. states have enacted, or are considering more stringent privacy laws, which may impose varying standards and requirements on our data collection, use and processing activities.
As described in Note 12, “Debt and Other Financing Arrangements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, as of June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] we had approximately [removed: $12.0] [added: $13.3] billion of total indebtedness, which primarily includes our outstanding senior notes.
In fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] our total contributions to these plans were approximately [removed: $63] [added: $66] million.
Under federal law, significant underfunding experienced by a given plan generally results in [added: increased contribution obligations in the form of surcharges and supplemental contribution obligations.]

concerns.
In addition, recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on other countries, any retaliatory actions taken by such countries and general political uncertainty surrounding trade relations and policies could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition as well as consumer confidence and spending.
We also risk damage to our reputation if we fail to act responsibly in a number of other areas such as worker safety and welfare, human capital management, inclusion, environmental stewardship, support for local communities, and corporate governance and transparency.

On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued executive orders that the OECD Global Tax Deal has no force and effect in the U.S., and to investigate foreign countries’ compliance with tax treaties and to prepare a list of options for protective measures the U.S. should adopt in response.
Our analysis is ongoing as the OECD continues to release additional guidance, countries enact legislation, and the potential U.S. response.
To the extent additional legislative changes take place in the countries in which we operate, it is possible that these changes may yield an adverse impact on our effective tax rate, financial results.

For instance, in the UK, the adoption of the Data Use and Access Act may require more localized data storage facilities and could impact how we segregate personal data between markets.
There also continues to be a growing trend of other countries adopting similar laws which we will have to assess and understand in order to implement required changes.
Of the $13.3 billion of total indebtedness, $1.75 billion will mature within the next twelve months.
We expect to fund the repayment of this debt using a combination of cash flows from operations and the proceeds from issuances of commercial paper and long-term debt, however there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance this indebtedness on terms that are favorable to the company, or at all, due to market conditions, our operating performance, investor sentiment, and risks impacting financial institutions and the credit markets more broadly.
A failure to refinance such indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all, could adversely affect our business and liquidity position.
See the discussion under “Human Capital Resources” in Item 1, “Business” for additional information regarding our talent acquisition and talent management efforts in the context of these labor shortages.
For example, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic adversely impacted our business, results of operations and financial condition directly and disrupted the operations of our business partners, suppliers and customers.
The future outbreak of a public health crisis, pandemic, or epidemic could cause some governmental authorities to reintroduce similar restrictions in the future, which could adversely affect demand in the foodservice industry.

The following discussion and analysis of Sysco’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the fiscal years ended June [added: 28, 2025 and June] 29, 2024 [removed: and July 1, 2023] should be read as a supplement to our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes contained in Item 8 of this report, and in conjunction with the “Forward-looking Statements” section set forth in Part II and the “Risk Factors” section set forth in Item 1A of Part I.
All discussion of changes in our results of operations from fiscal [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] to fiscal [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] has been omitted from this Form 10-K, but may be found in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the year ended [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August [removed: 25, 2023.][added: 28, 2024.]

The Americas primarily consists of operations in Canada, Bahamas, [removed: Mexico,] Costa Rica and Panama, as well as our export operations that distribute to international customers.
We estimate that we serve about 17% of an approximately [removed: $360] [added: $370] billion annual foodservice market in the U.S. based on industry data obtained from Technomic, Inc. (Technomic) as of the end of calendar year [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
Technomic projects the market size to increase to approximately [removed: $370] [added: $382] billion by the end of calendar year [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
According to industry sources, the foodservice, or food-away-from-home, market represents approximately 56% of the total dollars spent on food purchases made at the consumer level in the U.S. as of the end of calendar year [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
Our fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] results were driven by sales growth [removed: that surpassed] [added: of 3.2% as compared to] fiscal [removed: 2023 levels by 3.3%.][added: 2024.]
[removed: Sales] [added: This] growth was driven by [removed: both] [added: inflation and] volume growth, partially from [removed: acquisitions, and inflation.][added: recent acquisitions.]
See below for a comparison of our fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] results to our fiscal [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] results, both including and excluding Certain Items (as defined below).
Below is a comparison of results from fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] to fiscal [removed: 2023:][added: 2024:]

The fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and fiscal [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] items discussed above are collectively referred to as “Certain Items.” The results of our operations can be impacted by changes in exchange rates applicable to converting from local currencies to U.S. dollars.
[removed: See “Liquidity and] Capital Resources” for discussions of GAAP metrics, including net cash provided by operating activities and our reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
We believe the food-away-from-home sector is a healthy long-term [added: growth] market, and Sysco is diversified and well positioned as a market leader in food service.
[removed: Within our International Foodservice segment, we] [added: We] experienced [removed: a 5.3% improvement] [added: growth] in local case volume [added: in our International Foodservice segment of approximately 4.0% in fiscal 2025, as] compared to fiscal [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
We experienced inflation at a rate of [removed: 1.6%] [added: 3.5%] and [removed: 1.5%] [added: 2.5%] in the fourth quarter and for fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] respectively, at the total enterprise level, primarily driven by inflation in the [removed: poultry] [added: dairy, poultry,] and meat categories.
We expect to grow our revenue and earnings in fiscal [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]
We expect the rate of inflation for fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] to be approximately 2%, which is consistent with recent trends experienced in fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
In total, we expect these factors to result in net sales growth across the enterprise of [removed: 4%] [added: 3%] to [removed: 5%.][added: 5% in fiscal 2026.]
We believe the advancements [removed: we are making] [added: that have been made] in our physical capabilities, and the investments [removed: we are making in improved] [added: made to improve] training, will result in continued supply chain productivity improvements and in lowered costs to serve our customers.
[removed: We plan] [added: Our strategy is] to grow our existing businesses, while cultivating new channels, new business lines and new capabilities.
This company’s results are included within [removed: the U.S.] [added: International] Foodservice Operations [removed: segment.][added: and were not material to our results in fiscal 2025.]
Our [removed: diverse] team [added: - diverse in perspectives, backgrounds, and life experiences -] delivers expertise and differentiated services designed to help our customers grow their businesses.
We will cultivate new channels, new segments, and new capabilities, organically and through strategic [removed: M&A,] [added: acquisitions,] while being stewards of our company and our planet for the long term.

Gross profit increased 2.5% as compared to fiscal 2024, primarily attributable to effective management of product cost inflation.
Operating income decreased 3.6% as compared to fiscal 2024, primarily due to a noncash goodwill impairment charge in our Guest Worldwide business.
Adjusted operating income increased 1.2% as compared to fiscal 2024.
◦decreased 3.6%, or $114 million, to $3.1 billion;
◦decreased 6.5%, or $127 million, to $1.8 billion;
Fiscal 2025 results of operations were also negatively impacted by a noncash goodwill impairment charge.
No similar charge was applicable in fiscal 2024.
See “Liquidity and
During fiscal 2025, Sysco was impacted by negative year-over-year foot traffic to restaurants.
Foot traffic trends improved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
We expect foot traffic in fiscal 2026 to be similar to foot traffic trends in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
The most significant factor affecting our sales and gross profit performance in fiscal 2025 was product cost inflation, as we experienced 2.5% inflation at the total enterprise level.
U.S. Foodservice experienced a 0.5% improvement in total case volume and a 1.4% decrease in local case volume as compared to fiscal 2024.
Gross margin decreased 13 basis points in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024, primarily as a result of a shift in our customer mix driven by national sales volumes outpacing local sales volumes and a decrease in Sysco brand penetration rates.
Gross margin increased 19 basis points in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily as a result of disciplined strategic sourcing efforts.
We also expect volume growth in fiscal 2026 as a result of improved sales consultant retention, increased sales consultant tenure, and from contributions from potential mergers and acquisitions.
Total operating expenses increased 4.2% during fiscal 2025, as compared to fiscal 2024, driven by business and sales headcount investments, cost inflation, as well as a noncash impairment charge on our Guest Worldwide business.
These increases were partially offset by lower incentive compensation as our operating results were lower than our target payout criteria.
Our Global Support Center expenses experienced a decrease of 5.7% in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024, primarily as a result of progress on our existing cost savings program.
In fiscal 2026, we expect to achieve target operating results thereby increasing our incentive compensation by approximately $100 million compared to fiscal 2025.
In fiscal 2026, we expect to achieve cost savings benefits as we leverage our unique scale advantages to expand strategic sourcing efforts to include a broader range of categories, more efficiently harness our global buying power, improve inbound freight logistics to minimize points across our network, and take actions to improve organizational optimization at our Global Support Center.
Goodwill Impairment
In our annual fiscal 2025 goodwill impairment assessment, we concluded that one reporting unit, Guest Worldwide, had a fair value that was less than book value due to its recent financial performance and downward revisions in its long-range financial outlook.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 we recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $92 million for a portion of the goodwill attributable to our Guest Worldwide reporting unit.
This charge is included within operating
expenses in the consolidated results of operations.
We do not anticipate to incur additional goodwill impairment charges in fiscal 2026.
Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 was 24.3% and is expected to be approximately 23.5% to 24.0% in fiscal 2026.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
The OBBBA includes various provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions.
Certain provisions will be effective for Sysco beginning in our fiscal 2026 tax year.
We are currently evaluating the future impact of these tax law changes on our financial statements.
Divestitures
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we sold our interest in our joint venture partnership in Mexico, which was a part of our International Foodservice Operations.
This operation was not significant to Sysco’s business, and the divestiture will facilitate our efforts to improve our return on invested capital position.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we acquired Campbells Prime Meat, a leading specialty meat business based in Scotland.
By combining the Campbells Prime Meat product offering with our broadline business, this acquisition provides a strategic opportunity to enable total team selling in this region.
We will utilize cost-out and efficiency improvements to mitigate the costs of our future investments.

We also made continued gains in overall market share in fiscal 2024.
We demonstrated continued positive operating leverage, with gross profit growing faster than operating expenses, and operating income growing faster than sales.
◦increased 5.4%, or $163 million, to $3.2 billion;
◦increased 10.5%, or $185 million, to $2.0 billion;
Our results for fiscal 2023 were also impacted by a pension settlement charge that resulted from the purchase of a
nonparticipating single premium group annuity contract that transferred defined benefit plan obligations to an insurer, adjustments to our bad debt reserve specific to aged receivables existing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, adjustments to a product return allowance related to COVID-related personal protection equipment inventory and a gain on a litigation financing agreement.
During fiscal 2024, Sysco continued to outperform the foodservice market and successfully grew its market share, despite the foodservice market experiencing negative year-over-year foot traffic to restaurants.
We expect negative foot traffic trends to continue into the first quarter of fiscal 2025, with modest industry traffic improvements in the second half of fiscal 2025.
The most significant factor affecting performance in fiscal 2024 was volume growth, as we experienced a 3.1% improvement in U.S. Foodservice case volume and a 1.1% improvement in local case volume within our U.S. segment in each instance as compared to fiscal 2023.
U.S. Foodservice case volume increased 3.5% and local case volume within our U.S. segment increased 0.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
Edward Don positively impacted our U.S. Foodservice volumes by 2.7% and local case volumes within our U.S. segment by 1.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
This growth enabled us to gain market share during fiscal 2024, as we grew more than 1.75 times the market, which exceeded our target of 1.5 times.
Product cost inflation has also been a driver of our sales and gross profit performance.
Gross margin decreased one basis point in the fourth quarter and increased 25 basis points for fiscal 2024, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, primarily driven by higher volumes, the effective management of inflation and progress from our strategic sourcing efforts in our U.S. and International segments.
Volume growth is expected to be in the low single-digits for fiscal 2025.
Total operating expenses increased 4.5% during fiscal 2024, as compared to fiscal 2023, driven by increased volumes and cost inflation.
We continued to experience supply chain productivity improvements and successfully managed operating expenses at our Global Support Center, which experienced an expense decrease of 7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
We expect to have continued improvement in our operating leverage in fiscal 2025, based on a continuation of the productivity improvements from fiscal 2024 across our supply chain, including sustained retention improvements, and lower Global Support Center expenses.
Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 was 23.8% and is expected to increase to approximately 25% in fiscal 2025 due to an increase in the global minimum tax rate, geographic mix, and increases in state tax rates.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired BIX Produce Company, a leading produce specialty distributor based in Minnesota.
This acquisition is expected to provide a strategic opportunity for specialty produce operations to expand its geographic footprint in an area of the country where it does not currently have operations.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired Edward Don, one of the largest kitchen equipment and supplies distributors, based in Chicago, Illinois.
Edward Don has a robust supply chain that is expected to enable cost effective distribution of restaurant equipment and supplies.
This acquisition further demonstrates our Recipe for Growth strategy of focusing on building strategic specialty platforms that help us better support restaurant and hospitality customers.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired Ready Chef, a fresh produce distributor in Ireland.
This company’s results are included within the International Foodservice Operations segment.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we acquired Jacmar Foodservice Distribution, a premier foodservice distribution provider based in California.
The results of our acquired companies in fiscal 2024 were not material to our results.
We will fund our journey through cost-out and efficiency improvements.

We [removed: will] also incur gains and losses within our shareholders’ equity due to the translation of our financial statements from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars.
Our income statement trends may be impacted by the translation of the income statements of our [removed: foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars.]
The exchange [removed: rates] [added: rate] used to translate our foreign sales into U.S. dollars positively affected sales by 0.3% in fiscal 2024 when compared to fiscal 2023.
The exchange [removed: rate] [added: rates] used to translate our foreign sales into U.S. dollars negatively affected sales by [removed: 1.3%] [added: less than 0.1%] in fiscal [removed: 2023] [added: 2025] when compared to fiscal [removed: 2022.][added: 2024.]
The impact on our operating income, net earnings and earnings per share was not material in fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] or fiscal [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
A 10% unfavorable change in the fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] weighted year-to-date exchange rate and the resulting impact on our financial statements would have negatively affected fiscal [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] sales by 1.6% and would not have materially affected our operating income, net earnings and earnings per share.
In fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] we entered into a cross-currency swap to hedge a portion of our net investment in [removed: Euro-denominated] [added: Canadian-denominated] foreign operations to reduce foreign currency risk associated with the investment in these operations.
Additionally, we periodically enter into agreements to hedge foreign currency risk associated with changes in spot [added: and forward] rates on foreign denominated [removed: debt instruments,] [added: balances,] which are designated as fair value hedges.
Gains or losses from fair value hedges impact the same category on the consolidated statements of income as the item being hedged, including the earnings impact of [removed: the] excluded components.
The price and availability of diesel fuel fluctuates due to changes in production, seasonality and other market factors [added: are] generally outside of our control.
Fuel costs related to outbound deliveries represented approximately 0.5% of sales during fiscal [removed: 2024, 0.6%] [added: 2025, 0.5%] of sales in fiscal [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] and [removed: 0.5%] [added: 0.6%] of sales in fiscal [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
As of June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] we had diesel fuel swaps with a total notional amount of approximately [removed: 61] [added: 77] million gallons through [removed: March 2026.][added: February 2027.]
These swaps are expected to lock in the price of approximately [removed: 80%] [added: 85%] of our bulk fuel purchases for fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] or 70% of our total projected fuel purchase needs for fiscal [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]
Using current, published quarterly market price projections for diesel and estimates of fuel consumption, a 10% unfavorable change in diesel prices from the market price would result in a potential increase of approximately [removed: $6] [added: $5] million in our fuel costs on our non-contracted volumes.
A 10% unfavorable change in the value of the investments held by our company-sponsored retirement plans at the plans’ fiscal year end (December 31, [removed: 2023)] [added: 2024)] would not have a material impact on our anticipated future contributions for fiscal [removed: 2025;] [added: 2026;] however, such an unfavorable change would increase our pension expense for fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] by $23 million and would reduce our shareholders’ equity on our balance sheet as of June [removed: 29, 2024] [added: 28, 2025] by [removed: $250] [added: $253] million.

Our purpose is “Connecting the World to Share Food and Care for One Another.” We provided products and related services to approximately 730,000 customer locations, including restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, lodging establishments and other foodservice customers during fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]

We estimate that sales to our customers in the food service management (FSM) sector, which include large customers that service cafeterias in institutions such as universities, hospitals, and sporting venues, accounted for 8% of sales in [added: both] fiscal [removed: 2024, as compared to 7% of sales in] [added: 2025 and] fiscal [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
We purchase from thousands of suppliers, both domestic and international, none of which individually accounted for more than 10% of our purchases for fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
The level of inventory on hand will vary by product depending on shelf-life, supplier order [removed: fulfillment lead times and customer demand.]
GSC team members possess experience and expertise in, among other areas, customer and vendor contract administration, [removed: accounting and] finance, [removed: treasury,] legal, information technology, [removed: payroll and employee benefits,] risk management and insurance, sales and marketing, merchandising, inbound logistics, human resources, [removed: strategy] and [removed: tax compliance services.][added: strategy.]
During fiscal [removed: 2024, 2023] [added: 2025, 2024] and [removed: 2022, $832] [added: 2023, $906] million, [removed: $793] [added: $832] million and [removed: $633] [added: $793] million, respectively, were invested in facilities, technology, equipment, delivery fleet and other capital asset enhancements.
During fiscal [removed: 2024, 2023] [added: 2025, 2024] and [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets, were [removed: $753] [added: $692] million, [removed: $751] [added: $753] million and [removed: $609] [added: $751] million, respectively.
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets, as a percentage of sales during fiscal [removed: 2024, 2023] [added: 2025, 2024] and [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] were [removed: 1.0%,] [added: 0.9%,] 1.0% and [removed: 0.9%,] [added: 1.0%,] respectively.
During the three years ended June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] capital expenditures were financed primarily by internally generated funds along with bank and other borrowings.
We expect our capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets, to [removed: continue to] approximate [removed: 1% of sales] [added: $700 million] in fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] and we expect to finance these capital expenditures from cash flows from operations and bank and other borrowings.
As of June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] we employed approximately [removed: 76,000] [added: 75,000] employees, including 51,000 U.S. employees and [removed: 25,000] [added: 24,000] employees outside the U.S., as compared to approximately [removed: 72,000] [added: 76,000] employees as of [removed: July 1, 2023.][added: June 29, 2024.]

Sysco’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial [removed: statements.][added: statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.]
Sysco’s management assessed the effectiveness of Sysco’s internal control over financial reporting as of June [removed: 29, 2024.][added: 28, 2025.]
In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework* *(2013).* Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] Sysco’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the company’s consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of Sysco’s internal control over financial reporting as of June [removed: 29, 2024.][added: 28, 2025.]
[removed: REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM][added: Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm]
We have audited Sysco Corporation and its [removed: Consolidated Subsidiaries’] [added: consolidated subsidiaries’] internal control over financial reporting as of June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria).
In our opinion, Sysco Corporation and its [removed: Consolidated Subsidiaries] [added: consolidated subsidiaries] (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated August [removed: 27, 2024,] [added: 21, 2025,] expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sysco Corporation and its [removed: Consolidated Subsidiaries] [added: consolidated subsidiaries] (the Company) as of June [removed: 29, 2024] [added: 28, 2025] and [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] the related consolidated results of operations, statements of comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June [removed: 29, 2024] [added: 28, 2025] and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June [removed: 29, 2024] [added: 28, 2025] and [removed: July 1, 2023,] [added: June 29, 2024,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated August [removed: 27, 2024] [added: 21, 2025] expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the [removed: consolidated] financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments.
| *Description of the Matter* | | | | | | At June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] the Company’s goodwill was [removed: $5.2 billion.] [added: $5,231 million.] As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested by the Company’s management for impairment at least [removed: annually] [added: annually,] unless there are indications of impairment at other points throughout the fiscal year. Auditing management’s impairment tests for goodwill is complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of the reporting units. In particular, the fair value estimates of two reporting units were more sensitive to changes in significant assumptions including changes in projected cash flows or weighted average cost of capital. These assumptions are sensitive to and affected by expected future market or economic conditions and company-specific qualitative factors. | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the [removed: design] [added: design,] and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment review process, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above. We also tested controls over management’s review of the data used in their valuation models. To test the estimated fair value of the two reporting units, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We compared projected cash flows to the Company’s historical cash flows and other available industry information. We involved our valuation specialists to assist in reviewing the valuation methodology and testing the weighted average cost of capital. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units that would result from changes in the assumptions. | | |

Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our annual fiscal 2025 assessment, we concluded that one reporting unit, Guest Worldwide, had a fair value less than book value due to its recent financial performance and downward revisions in its long-range financial outlook.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 we recorded a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $92 million for a portion of the goodwill attributable to our Guest Worldwide reporting unit.
This charge is included within operating expenses in the consolidated results of operations.

In September 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs, Subtopic 405-50, that requires entities to disclose in the annual financial statements the key terms of supplier finance programs they use in connection with the purchase of goods and services, along with information about their obligations under these programs, including a roll forward of those obligations.
Additionally, the guidance requires disclosure of the outstanding amount of the obligations as of the end of each interim period.
The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations.
The guidance requires retrospective application to all periods in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the roll forward requirement, which will be applied prospectively.
Sysco completed its assessment of the disclosures required under ASU 2022-04 and adopted the standard, with the exception of the roll forward requirement, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 on a retrospective basis.

During fiscal 2024, we paid cash of $1.2 billion for several acquisitions.
On November 27, 2023, Sysco consummated its acquisition of Edward Don (or the acquiree) through a merger between Edward Don and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sysco Corporation, in which Sysco acquired 100% of the members’ equity of the acquiree for cash consideration of $965 million.
Edward Don is a leading distributor of foodservice equipment, supplies and disposables and has a robust supply chain that is expected to enable cost effective distribution of restaurant equipment and supplies across the Sysco network.
The assets, liabilities and operating results of Edward Don are reflected in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic No. 805, Business Combinations, commencing from the acquisition date.
The purchase price was allocated based on the company’s preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including intangibles, and the excess was assigned to goodwill.
Goodwill of $362 million is attributed to the U.S. Foodservice Operations reportable segment and represents synergies and disposable, supply and foodservice equipment capabilities and offerings expected to benefit Sysco’s existing business.
In certain circumstances, purchase price allocations may be based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions.
Accordingly, allocations are subject to revision until Sysco receives final information and completes its analysis during the measurement period.
This includes finalizing the valuation of acquired tangible and intangible assets and related tax attributes.

Sysco’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June [removed: 29, 2024.][added: 28, 2025.]
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the [removed: Securities and Exchange Commission’s] [added: SEC’s] rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is [added: recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and] accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, Sysco’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter ended June [removed: 29, 2024,] [added: 28, 2025,] that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Sysco’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an audit report on our internal control over financial reporting, which appears in Item 8.
