Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements as of June 28, 2025, and for

the fiscal year then ended, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both

contained in our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K, as well as the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and notes to the

consolidated financial statements (unaudited) contained in this report.

Highlights

Our third quarter of fiscal 2026 results included sales growth of 4.7% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025,

primarily driven by volume improvements across our business. Sales increased in our U.S. Foodservice Operations,

International Foodservice Operations, and SYGMA segments. Our gross profit increased 6.5% compared to the third quarter of

fiscal 2025, due to our strategic sourcing efforts, favorable changes in customer mix, and the effective management of product

cost inflation. Operating income decreased 9.1% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025, due to higher incentive

compensation, increased restructuring and transformational project costs, and higher acquisition and due diligence costs. We

consider restructuring and transformational project costs and acquisition and due diligence costs to be “Certain Item” expenses

(as defined below). Excluding Certain Item expenses, adjusted operating income decreased 0.6% as compared to the third

quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to higher incentive compensation. Our net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2026

decreased 15.2% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Excluding Certain Item expenses, adjusted net earnings

decreased by 3.6% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025. See below for a comparison of our fiscal 2026 results to our

fiscal 2025 results, both including and excluding Certain Items.

Comparisons of results from the third quarter of fiscal 2026 to the third quarter of fiscal 2025 are presented below:

  • Sales:

◦increased 4.7%, or $921 million, to $20.5 billion;

  • Operating income:

◦decreased 9.1%, or $62 million, to $619 million;

◦adjusted operating income decreased 0.6%, or $5 million, to $768 million;

  • Net earnings:

◦decreased 15.2%, or $61 million, to $340 million;

◦adjusted net earnings decreased 3.6%, or $17 million, to $452 million;

  • Basic earnings per share:

◦decreased 13.4%, or $0.11, to $0.71 per share;

  • Diluted earnings per share:

◦decreased 13.4% or $0.11, to $0.71 per share;

◦adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 2.1%, or $0.02, to $0.94 per share;

  • EBITDA:

◦decreased 5.1%, or $46 million, to $864 million; and

◦adjusted EBITDA increased 0.1%, or $1 million, to $970 million.

Comparisons of results from the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2026 to the first 39 weeks of fiscal 2025 are presented below:

  • Sales:

◦increased 3.6%, or $2.2 billion, to $62.4 billion;

  • Operating income:

◦decreased 4.0%, or $88 million, to $2.1 billion;

◦adjusted operating income increased 1.9%, or $46 million, to $2.5 billion;

  • Net earnings:

◦decreased 7.0%, or $91 million, to $1.2 billion;

◦adjusted net earnings increased 1.0%, or $14 million, to $1.5 billion;

  • Basic earnings per share:

◦decreased 4.9%, or $0.13, to $2.52 per share;

  • Diluted earnings per share:

◦decreased 4.9% , or $0.13 to $2.51 per share;

◦adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 3.4%, or $0.10, to $3.08 per share;

  • EBITDA:

◦decreased 3.0%, or $85 million, to $2.8 billion; and

◦adjusted EBITDA increased 1.2%, or $36 million, to $3.0 billion.

The discussion of our results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted

EBITDA, that we believe provide important perspective with respect to underlying business trends. Other than EBITDA and

free cash flow, any non-GAAP financial measures will be denoted as adjusted measures to remove: (1) restructuring charges;

(2) expenses associated with our various transformation initiatives; (3) severance charges; and (4) acquisition-related costs

consisting of (a) intangible amortization expense and (b) acquisition costs and due diligence costs related to our acquisitions.

Adjustments provided herein for fiscal 2026 results of operations also remove the impact of a charge associated with a legal

matter. No similar charge was applicable in fiscal 2025.

The fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 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. We

measure our results on a constant currency basis.

Trends

Economic and Industry Trends

Foot traffic to restaurants experienced a decrease of 1.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Our U.S. Foodservice

Operations local case growth trends experienced a sequential improvement of 210 basis points compared to the second quarter

of fiscal 2026, despite the industry’s foot traffic performance. The macroeconomic environment was similar in the third quarter

of fiscal 2026 as compared to the previous quarter, which has continued to adversely impact consumer sentiment. Despite the

current macroeconomic landscape, we expect to grow our sales in fiscal 2026. We believe the food-away-from-home sector is a

healthy, long-term growth market, and Sysco is diversified and well positioned as a market leader in food service.

Sales and Gross Profit Trends

Sales increased 4.7% and 3.6% in the third quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal 2026, respectively, as compared to the

third quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal 2025. Our sales and gross profit performance are influenced by multiple factors,

including price, volume, inflation, customer mix and product mix. We experienced a 2.3% and 1.0% increase in U.S.

Foodservice Operations case volume in the third quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal 2026, respectively, as compared to the third

quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal 2025. Our volume growth trends were attributable to local case volume increasing 3.3% and

1.4% in the third quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal 2026, respectively, as compared to the third quarter and first 39 weeks of

fiscal 2025. Our local case volumes have improved due to improved sales colleague retention and incremental sales colleague

productivity improvements. National case volume increased 1.4% and 0.9% in the third quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal

2026, respectively, as compared to the third quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal 2025. Our volume reflects our broadline and

specialty businesses. Beginning in fiscal 2026, we are now including volumes from our specialty meat business for all periods

presented. We expect continued local volume growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 of at least 2.5% due to continued sales

consultant productivity improvements. In addition, we expect national case volume growth in the fourth quarter due to the

strength of our non-restaurant business and the onboarding of new national restaurant customers.

We experienced inflation at a rate of 2.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, at the total enterprise level, primarily

driven by inflation in the dairy, meat, and seafood categories. We continue to address inflation by successfully managing

through cost increases in a timely manner. Gross margin increased 31 and 20 basis points in the third quarter and first 39 weeks

of fiscal 2026, respectively, as compared to the third quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal 2025, primarily due to benefits from

our strategic sourcing initiatives, stronger volume performance from local customers and improving mix from Sysco Brand

penetration rates, and the effective management of product cost inflation.

Operating Expense Trends

Total operating expenses were $3.2 billion and $9.4 billion in the third quarter and first 39 weeks of fiscal 2026, a

10.1% and 6.9% increase compared to the third quarter and first 39 weeks of fisca

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our market risks consist of interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, fuel price risk and investment risk.

For a discussion on our exposure to market risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market

Risks” in our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our market risks since June 28, 2025, except

for the addition of interest rate risk as a result of the Proposed Transaction. See Note 15 “Subsequent Events” for more

information on the terms of the Proposed Transaction. We have executed cash-settled deal contingent rate lock transactions to

mitigate interest rate risk on $6.3 billion of future permanent debt that could potentially be issued to finance the purchase of

JRD. As these interest rate lock transactions are contingent upon whether the transaction is successfully consummated, we have

not elected to apply hedge accounting at this time and any unrealized gains or losses will be recognized in Other income and

expense within our statement of consolidated results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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 March 28, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as

defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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 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. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide

only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-

benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Sysco’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to

provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as

of March 28, 2026, 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) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2026, that have materially affected,

or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Environmental Matters

Item 10. 3 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental proceedings in which a governmental

authority is a party to and when such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that Sysco’s management reasonably

believes will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to recent SEC amendments to this Item, Sysco has chosen a reporting

threshold for such proceedings of $1 million. Applying this threshold, there are no material environmental matters to disclose

for this reporting period.

From time to time, we may be party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We do not

believe there are any pending legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the

company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as provided below, there were no material changes from the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our fiscal

2025 Form 10-K.

Risks Related to the Proposed Transaction

The Proposed Transaction is subject to conditions, some or all of which may not be satisfied or completed on a

timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Proposed Transaction in a timely manner or at all could have adverse effects

on the company.

The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the expiration or

termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, some of which are not in

our control. The failure to satisfy the required conditions could delay the completion of the Proposed Transaction for a

significant period of time or prevent it from occurring at all. A failure to complete the Proposed Transaction would mean that

we will not realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, including our proposed expansion into the cash & carry channel.

Without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Proposed Transaction, the Company will be subject to a number

of risks, including the following:

  • the market price of our common stock could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market

assumption that the Proposed Transaction will be completed;

  • we could owe a termination fee of $1.164 billion under certain circumstances;

  • we may experience negative publicity, which could have an adverse effect on our ongoing operations, including

on our ability to retain and attract employees and those with whom we do business, such as customers, suppliers

and business partners;

  • we have committed and will continue to commit time and resources to matters relating to the Proposed

Transaction that could otherwise have been devoted to ongoing business operations and pursuing other beneficial

opportunities for the company;

  • we will still be required to pay significant fees and expenses relating to financing arrangements, which may

include investment banking fees and commissions, professional fees and other costs and expenses;

  • we will be required to pay costs relating to the Proposed Transaction, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory

and printing fees, whether or not the Proposed Transaction is completed; and

  • we may commit significant time and resources to defending against litigation related to any failure to complete the

Proposed Transaction or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against the company to perform our

obligations pursuant to the transaction agreement.

In addition, one or more conditions in the transaction agreement may not be satisfied on a timely manner. A delay in

completing the Proposed Transaction could cause us to realize some or all of the expected benefits later than we otherwise

expect if the Proposed Transaction is successfully completed within the anticipated timeframe, which could result in additional

transaction costs or in other negative effects associated with uncertainty about completion of the Proposed Transaction. Any of

the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to business uncertainties while the Proposed Transaction is pending.

While the Proposed Transaction is pending, uncertainty about the effect of the Proposed Transaction on employees,

clients, customers, suppliers and vendors may have an adverse effect on our ongoing business operations. These uncertainties

may impair our ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain business relationships; result in the loss of suppliers,

customers and other business partners or in the termination of existing contracts or relationships; and divert our management’s

attention from our business as we work to take all steps necessary to close the Proposed Transaction. Any of these could have a

material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

$5.0 billion of the company’s common stock, in which the program will remain available until fully utilized.
