Performance Food Group Company (“PFG” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PFGC) today announced its fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2021 business results.

“We made consistent progress in fiscal 2021 despite the difficult operating environment,” said George Holm, PFG’s Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to the strong operating results to close out the fiscal year, we made significant headway integrating Reinhart and announced the intention to acquire Core-Mark, creating one of the largest food and convenience store delivery companies in the US.

“We are incredibly pleased with our fiscal fourth quarter results, particularly the momentum we achieved in our sales growth. The quarter saw record sales. Although the labor market remains challenging, we posted significant year-over-year increases in our gross profit and adjusted EBITDA. Our financial position also remains strong, including improvement in our working capital metrics and a strong liquidity and balance sheet position. We remain confident that our company is well positioned to succeed in the years ahead.”

Fourth-Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Summary

Total case volume increased 55.8% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. Total case volume included a 69.2% growth in independent cases and growth in Performance Brands cases. Excluding the extra week, case volume in the fourth quarter would have increased approximately 44.7%.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 61.1% to $9.3 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 fourth 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 company cost inflation was approximately 7.8%. Net sales for the extra week in fiscal 2021 were approximately $664.6 million.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 grew 66.8% to $1.1 billion compared to the prior year period. The gross profit increase was driven by the improvement of the economic conditions. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded $9.1 million of inventory write-offs, which represents a $19.7 million decrease over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily as a result of the lessening impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. Gross profit was negatively impacted by an increase in the last-in-first-out (“LIFO”) reserve of $27.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 11.5% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 11.1% for the prior year period. The Company estimates the increase in gross profit for the extra week in fiscal 2021 was approximately $76.1 million.

Operating expenses rose 13.9% to $985.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in personnel expenses, fuel expense, travel expenses, and annual bonus expense, partially offset by declines in professional fees and contingent consideration accretion expense compared to the prior year period. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a benefit of $15.5 million related to reserves for expected credit losses as compared to bad debt expense of $48.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company estimates operating expenses for the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 were approximately $70.4 million.

The fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 resulted in a net income of $31.4 million compared to net loss of $151.2 million in the prior year period. The improvement was primarily a result of the $306.2 million increase in operating profit discussed above, partially offset by a $123.5 million increase in income tax expense. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was approximately 28.5% compared to 42.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate for three months ended July 3, 2021 differed from the prior year period primarily due to state taxes, stock compensation, and discrete items as a percentage of book income, which is significantly higher than the book income for the prior year period.

EBITDA increased $307.8 million to $174.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period. For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA increased $207.1 million to $210.9 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the extra week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was approximately $15.0 million.

Diluted EPS was $0.23 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to diluted loss per share of $1.19 in the prior year period. Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.56 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to Adjusted Diluted loss per share of $0.86 in the prior year period.

Fiscal 2021 Financial Summary

Total case volume increased 15.4% in fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year. Excluding the 53^rd week in fiscal 2021, case volume increased 13.0% compared to the prior year. Total case volume included twelve months of Reinhart Foodservice, L.L.C. (“Reinhart”) sales and a 31.6% increase in independent cases. Excluding the impact of the Reinhart acquisition for the first half of fiscal 2021, organic case volume increased 2.7% in fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year.

Net sales for fiscal 2021 were $30.4 billion, an increase of 21.2% versus the prior year. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Reinhart, which includes an additional six months of sales for fiscal 2021, and the 53^rd week in fiscal year 2021, partially offset by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The acquisition of Reinhart contributed $6.0 billion to net sales for fiscal 2021 compared to $2.5 billion of net sales in the prior year. Net sales for the extra week in fiscal 2021 were approximately $664.6 million.

Gross profit for fiscal 2021 increased 22.9% to $3.5 billion compared to the prior year. The gross profit increase was led by the acquisition of Reinhart and the 53^rd week in fiscal 2021. The acquisition of Reinhart contributed an increase in gross profit of $501.4 million for fiscal 2021, compared to the prior year. Also, gross profit increased due to an increase in gross profit per case driven by case growth in Foodservice, particularly in the independent channel. Independent customers typically receive more services from us, cost more to serve, and pay a higher gross profit per case than other customers. The Company estimates the increase in gross profit for the extra week in fiscal 2021 was approximately $76.1 million.

Additionally, in fiscal 2021, the Company recorded $36.9 million of inventory write-offs, which is a $17.6 million decrease compared to fiscal 2020, primarily as a result of the recent improvement in economic conditions. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 11.6% for fiscal 2021 compared to 11.4% for the prior year.

Operating expenses increased 12.0% to $3.3 billion in fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Reinhart and the 53^rd week in fiscal 2021. Reinhart contributed an additional $315.6 million of operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020. The Company estimates operating expenses for the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 were approximately $70.4 million.

Excluding the impact of Reinhart and the 53^rd week in fiscal 2021, operating expenses decreased as a result of a decrease in contingent consideration accretion expense of $109.7 million, professional fees of $28.4 million, and insurance expense of $6.2 million. Additionally, in fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a benefit of $24.9 million related to reserves for expected credit losses as compared to bad debt expense of $78.0 million in fiscal 2020. These decreases in operating expenses were partially offset by a $78.6 million increase in annual bonus expense for fiscal 2021, along with increases in other personnel expenses and the increase in case volume and the resulting impact on variable operational and selling expenses in fiscal 2021 compared to the prior period.

The Company recorded net income of $40.7 million for fiscal 2021 compared to a net loss of $114.1 million for the prior year. The improvement in net income was primarily attributable to the $299.7 million increase in operating profit discussed above, partially offset by a $35.5 million increase in interest expense and a $122.1 million increase in income tax expense. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2021 was approximately 25.6% compared to 48.6% for fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2021 decreased from the prior year period primarily due to state taxes, stock compensation, and discrete items as a percentage of book income, which is significantly higher than the book income for fiscal 2020.

EBITDA increased 219.3% to $546.0 million in fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 54.2% to $625.3 million compared to the prior year.

Diluted EPS was $0.30 in fiscal 2021 compared to diluted loss per share of $1.01 for the prior year. Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 92.9% over the prior year to $1.35 in fiscal 2021.

Cash Flow, Capital Spending and Liquidity

As of July 3, 2021, our cash balance totaled $22.2 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 $409.6 million decrease in cash is primarily due to the early pay off, in full, of the $110.0 million, 364-day loan that was junior to the other obligations owed under the ABL Facility (“Additional Junior Term Loan”), payments related to recent acquisitions, investments in working capital, and payments under the ABL Facility. As of July 3, 2021, the Company had excess availability under the ABL Facility of $2.3 billion.

In fiscal 2021, PFG generated $64.6 million in cash flow from operating activities, a decrease of $559.0 million versus the prior year. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities was driven by larger investments in working capital and the payment of $117.3 million of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Eby-Brown Company LLC, partially offset by income tax refunds of $117.4 million received in fiscal 2021. For fiscal 2021, PFG invested $188.8 million in capital expenditures, an increase of $30.8 million versus the prior year period. In fiscal 2021, PFG delivered negative Free Cash Flow of $124.2 million² compared to positive Free Cash Flow of $465.6 million² in the prior year.

Fourth-Quarter Fiscal 2021 Segment Results

Foodservice

Fourth-quarter net sales for Foodservice increased 69.0% to $6.8 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, an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation, as well as the 53rd week in fiscal 2021. Securing new and expanded business with independent customers resulted in independent case growth of 69.2%. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, independent sales as a percentage of total segment sales were 37.8%. Net sales for the extra week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were approximately $484.3 million.

Fourth-quarter EBITDA for Foodservice increased 674.4% to $209.1 million compared to the prior year period. Gross profit increased 68.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in the gross profit per case, an increase in cases sold, and the gross profit from the extra week in fiscal 2021. Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased 35.0% compared to the prior year period as a result of an increase in case volume and the resulting impact on variable operational expenses, along with increases in annual bonus expense of $10.9 million, fuel expense of $15.0 million, and other personnel expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in reserves for expected credit losses for customer receivables. Foodservice recorded a benefit of $9.2 million related to reserves for expected credit losses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to bad debt expense of $41.1 million in the prior year period.

Vistar

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, net sales for Vistar increased 43.4% to $2.5 billion compared to the prior year period. This increase was driven by growth in cases sold as certain states began to ease COVID-19 restrictions, along with the 53^rd week in fiscal 2021. Net sales for the extra week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were approximately $180.2 million.

Fourth-quarter EBITDA for Vistar increased 123.8% to $26.2 million versus the prior year period. Gross profit increase of 62.5% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the prior year period was fueled by the improving economic environment and easing of COVID-19 restrictions along with the gross profit from the extra week in fiscal 2021. Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization declined 27.8% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily as a result of a reduction in contingent consideration expense. Additionally, Vistar recorded a benefit of $6.2 million related to reserves for expected credit losses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to bad debt expense of $6.9 million in the prior year period.

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information:

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, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow. 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, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, 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, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow, 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 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.

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.

PFG believes that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow 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.
