Performance Food Group Company (“PFG” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PFGC) today announced its third-quarter and first-nine months fiscal 2021 business results.

“Our Company’s strong momentum and recovery has continued into calendar 2021,” said George Holm, PFG’s Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, “and I am extremely pleased with the progress we have made as many markets reopen for business. As we expected, the pace of rebuilding our workforce accelerated to support sales trend improvement. We believe that these expenses put us in a solid position to maintain our top-line performance through the rest of fiscal 2021 and into fiscal 2022. Despite a strong January and February in the year ago period, our businesses experienced independent cases growth of 6.3% in the quarter and a 2.9% increase in net sales compared to the prior year. Reflecting on everything that has occurred over the past 12 months, this is truly a wonderful accomplishment.”

This earnings release includes several metrics, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Please see “Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this release for the definitions of such non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Third-Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Summary

Total case volume decreased 4.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. Total case volume included a 6.3% increase in independent cases and growth in Performance Brands cases.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 grew 2.9% to $7.2 billion compared to the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the effects of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which had a more significant impact in the third quarter of the prior year. The increase in net sales also reflects an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation and mix. Overall food cost inflation was approximately 3.5%.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 grew 3.1% to $832.7 million compared to the prior year period. The gross profit increase was led by the improvement of the current economic environment surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19. For the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a total of $8.9 million of inventory write-offs, which is a $5.5 million decrease from the third quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily as a result of the lessening impact of COVID-19 on our operations. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 11.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 11.5% for the prior year period.

Operating expenses declined 1.9% to $809.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. The decline in operating expenses was primarily due to reductions in personnel expenses, fuel expense, insurance expense, travel expenses, professional fees, and contingent consideration accretion expense compared to the prior year period. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a benefit of $6.0 million related to reserves for expected credit losses as compared to bad debt expense of $21.3 million for the third quarter of 2020. These decreases in operating expenses were partially offset by an increase in annual bonus expense. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded expense of $29.6 million related to annual bonus expense as compared to a benefit of $32.4 million in the prior year period.

The third quarter of fiscal 2021 resulted in a net loss of $7.6 million compared to a net loss of $40.2 million in the prior year period. The improvement was primarily a result of the $40.8 million increase in operating profit discussed above, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in interest expense and a $15.8 million decrease in income tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was approximately 37.1% compared to 33.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate for three months ended March 27, 2021 differed from the prior year period due to the increase of state taxes and non-deductible expenses as a percentage of book income.

EBITDA increased 43.0% to $105.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA fell 7.6% to $121.2 million compared to the prior year period.

Diluted loss per share was $0.06 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to diluted loss per share of $0.35 per share in the prior year period. Adjusted Diluted EPS decreased 67.2% to $0.19 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period.

First-Nine Months Fiscal 2021 Financial Summary

Total case volume increased 3.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. Total case volume included nine months of Reinhart Foodservice, L.L.C. (“Reinhart”) sales and a 19.4% increase in independent cases. Excluding the impact of the Reinhart acquisition, case volume declined 13.4% and independent case volume declined 1.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period.

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was $21.1 billion, an increase of 9.2% versus the comparable prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Reinhart which includes an additional six months of sales for fiscal 2021, partially offset by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The acquisition of Reinhart contributed $4.2 billion to net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to $1.4 billion of net sales for the prior year period.

Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 increased 10.3% to $2.5 billion compared to the prior year period. The gross profit increase was led by the acquisition of Reinhart, which includes an increase in gross profit of $399.3 million for the first nine months for fiscal 2021, along with an increase in gross profit per case. For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a total of $27.8 million of inventory write-offs, which is a $2.1 million increase from the first nine months of fiscal 2020 primarily as a result of the economic conditions related to COVID-19 on our operations. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 11.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to 11.5% for the prior year period.

Operating expenses increased 11.2% to $2.3 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Reinhart. Excluding the impact of Reinhart operating expenses, the Company decreased its operating expenses related to personnel expenses, fuel expense, insurance expense, travel expenses, professional fees, and contingent consideration accretion expense compared to the prior year period. Additionally, in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a benefit of $9.4 million related to reserves for expected credit losses as compared to bad debt expense of $29.8 million for the first nine months of 2020. These decreases in operating expenses were partially offset by an increase in annual bonus expense. In the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded expense of $78.0 million related to annual bonus expense as compared to expense of $6.1 million in the prior year period.

Net income decreased 74.9% to $9.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. The decline in net income was primarily attributable to the $6.5 million decrease in operating profit discussed above, along with a $35.1 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in income tax expense. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was approximately 14.2% compared to 7.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

EBITDA increased 22.1% to $371.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of fiscal 2021 Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.2% to $414.4 million compared to the prior year period.

Diluted EPS decreased 79.4% to $0.07 per share in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. Adjusted Diluted EPS decreased 54.3% to $0.79 per share in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period.

Cash Flow and Capital Spending

As of March 27, 2021, our cash balance totaled $112.6 million, including restricted cash of $11.1 million, as compared to a cash balance totaling $431.8 million, including restricted cash of $11.1 million, as of June 27, 2020. The $319.2 million decrease in cash is primarily due to payments under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 31, 2019 (the “ABL Facility”) and the early pay off, in full, of the $110.0 million, 364-day maturity loan that was junior to the other obligations owed under the ABL Facility (“Additional Junior Term Loan”).

In the first nine months of fiscal 2021, PFG generated $173.1 million in cash flow from operating activities compared to $17.6 million of cash flow provided by operating activities in the prior year period. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was largely driven by improvements in working capital and income tax refunds of $117.8 million received during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, partially offset by the payment of $117.3 million of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Eby-Brown Company LLC. For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, PFG invested $118.9 million in capital expenditures, an increase of $17.8 million versus the prior year period. In the first nine months of fiscal 2021, PFG delivered free cash flow of $54.2 million1, an increase of approximately $137.7 million versus the negative free cash flow of $83.5 million during the prior year period. Excluding the $213.7 million impact of the outstanding checks in excess of deposits offset to cash, operating cash flow less capital expenditures, or free cash flow, would have been approximately $130.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

Third-Quarter Fiscal 2021 Segment Results

Foodservice

Third-quarter net sales for Foodservice increased 4.8% to $5.2 billion compared to the prior year period. Net sales growth was driven by growth in cases sold as certain states began to ease COVID-19 restrictions, as well as an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation. Securing new and expanded business with independent customers resulted in independent case growth of 6.3%. For the third quarter of fiscal 2021, independent sales as a percentage of total segment sales was 33.9%.

Third-quarter EBITDA for Foodservice increased 50.8% to $138.3 million compared to the prior year period. Gross profit increased 8.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in the gross profit per case, as well as an increase in cases sold. Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased 0.5% compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in the annual bonus expense. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, Foodservice recorded expense of $15.2 million related to annual bonus expense compared to a benefit of $19.3 million for the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by decreases in personnel expense, fuel expense, and insurance expense. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, Foodservice recorded a benefit of $5.5 million related to reserves for expected credit losses compared to bad debt expense of $15.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Vistar

For the third quarter of fiscal 2021, net sales for Vistar decreased 1.8% to $2.0 billion compared to the prior year period. This decrease was driven primarily by the continued economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Third-quarter EBITDA for Vistar declined 58.7% to $16.8 million versus the prior year period. Gross profit decline of 13.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period was fueled by the current economic environment due to COVID-19. Operating expense decreased 1.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily as a result of the decrease in sales volume, decreases in personnel and fuel expenses, and a reduction in contingent consideration accretion expenses as compared to the prior year period. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, Vistar recorded a benefit of $0.5 million related to reserves for expected credit losses compared to bad debt expense of $5.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020. These declines were partially offset by an increase in annual bonus expense. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, Vistar recorded expense of $6.7 million related to annual bonus expense as compared to a benefit of $6.7 million in the prior year period.

Fiscal 2021 Outlook

For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021, PFG expects net sales to be at least $8.2 billion and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be at least $185 million. This outlook includes the impact of a 53rd week, which occurs in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021.

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

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Management measures operating performance based on PFG’s EBITDA, defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

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

In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income and franchise taxes, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain items we do not consider part of our core operating results. Such adjustments include certain unusual, non-cash, non-recurring, cost reduction and other adjustment items permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the PFG’s credit agreement and indenture (other than certain pro forma adjustments permitted under our credit agreement and indenture relating to the Adjusted EBITDA contribution of acquired entities or businesses prior to the acquisition date). Under PFG’s credit agreement and indenture, PFG’s ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments, and making restricted payments is tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement and indenture).

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

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

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

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