Summary of the Company’s common stock.Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of Presentation

2.Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, with the exception of the July 1, 20173, 2021 consolidated balance sheet, which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017 (the “Form10-K”). 10-K. The financial statements include consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)(“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates used by management are related to the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventories, impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets, acquisition accounting, reserves for claims and recoveries under insurance programs, vendor rebates and other promotional incentives, bonus accruals, depreciation, amortization, determination of useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, leases, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in theForm 10-K. Certain footnote disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted herein pursuant to applicable rules and regulations for interim financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation

As a result of the Core-Mark acquisition on September 1, 2021, PFG now has operations in Canada. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s Canadian operations, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at period-end. Translation gains and losses are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Revenue and expenses from Canadian operations are translated using the monthly average exchange rates in effect during the period in which the transactions occur. The Company also recognizes gains or losses on foreign currency exchange transactions between its Canadian and U.S. operations, net of applicable income taxes, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company currently does not hedge Canadian foreign currency cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015,December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)2015-11,

Inventory("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 330)740): Simplifying the MeasurementAccounting for Income Taxes. The update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for intra-period tax allocations, the recognition of Inventory.deferred tax liabilities after a foreign subsidiary transitions to or from equity method accounting, and the methodology of calculating income taxes in an interim period with year-to-date losses. Additionally, the guidance provides additional clarification on other areas, including step-up of the tax basis of goodwill recorded as part of an acquisition and the treatment of franchise taxes that are partially based on income. This ASU requires an entity to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference shall be recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. The ASUpronouncement is effective for public companies prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU as of the beginning of fiscal 2018 and concluded that it does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the classification of certain specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of certain debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of certain insurance claims and distributions received from equity method investees. This ASU is

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period using the retrospective transition method. The Company elected to early adopt ASU2016-15 as of the beginning of fiscal 2018. Based on our review of the ASU, the Company concluded that it has historically classified the specified cash receipts and cash payments in accordance with the clarified guidance. This ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling thebeginning-of-period andend-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires a retrospective transition method for each period presented. The Company elected to early adopt ASU2016-18 as of the beginning of fiscal 2018. The statements of cash flows for the six months ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include restricted cash with cash when reconciling thebeginning-of-period andend-of-period total amounts.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which is performed by estimating the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. Instead, an entity will record a goodwill impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its estimated fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adoptASU 2017-04 as of the beginning of fiscal 2018. Upon adoption of the ASU, the Company concluded that it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will apply ASU2017-04 on a prospective basis when analyzing goodwill impairment.

Topic 606 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Companies may either use a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for2020, with early adoption of Topic 606. The Company will adopt the guidance in fiscal 2019 and currently plans to implement the new standard using the modified retrospective approach. However, our method is subject to change as we finalize our adoption approach for the new standard. The Company has conducted a preliminary assessment and anticipates that the timing of recognition of revenue to be substantially unchanged under the new standard. The amended guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures, which the Company believes will be significant to the consolidated financial statements.

Information about our undiscounted future lease payments and the timing of those payments is in Note 12. Leases in our Form10-K.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The pronouncement changes the impairment model for most financial assets, and will require the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Companies are required to apply the standard usingon a prospective basis, except for certain sections of the guidance which shall be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective approach,basis.

The Notes due 2029 are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by PFGC and all domestic direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PFGC (other than captive insurance subsidiaries and other excluded subsidiaries). The Notes due 2029 are not guaranteed by the Company.

Initially the Company expected to use the proceeds from the Notes due 2029 to finance the cash consideration payable in connection with the Core-Mark acquisition, to redeem the 5.500% Notes due 2024, and to pay the fees, expenses, and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Notes due 2029. However, since there was no requirement to hold the funds in escrow until the Core-Mark Acquisition closed, a portion of the net proceeds from the Notes due 2029 were used to pay down the outstanding balance of the Prior Credit Agreement on July 26, 2021. The Notes due 2024 were redeemed in full on July 27, 2021. The Company then funded the cash consideration for the Core-Mark Acquisition with borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement.

The Notes due 2029 were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes due 2029 mature on August 1, 2029, and bear interest at a rate of 4.250% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event or upon the sale of certain assets in which Performance Food Group, Company.Inc. does not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the Notes due 2029 will have the right to require Performance Food Group, Inc. to repurchase each holder’s Notes due 2029 at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change of control triggering event) or 100%(in the case of an asset sale) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem all or a part of the Notes due 2029 at any time prior to August 1, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2029 being redeemed plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, beginning on August 1, 2024, Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem all or a part of the Notes due 2029 at a redemption price equal to 102.125% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price decreases to 101.163% and 100% of the principal amount redeemed on August 1, 2025, and August 1, 2026, respectively. In addition, at any time prior to August 1, 2024, Performance Food Group, Inc. may redeem up to 40% of the Notes due 2029 from the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 104.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The ABL Facility and the indenture governing the Notes due 2029 contains covenants limiting, among other things, PFGC’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur or guarantee additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock; pay dividends and make other distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make certain investments; incur certain liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; create certain restrictions on the ability of PFGC’s restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to PFGC; designate restricted subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and transfer or sell certain assets.

The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through managementaggregate principal amount of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration5.500% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes due 2024”), pursuant to an indenture dated as of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and diesel fuel costs. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and payments related to the Company’s borrowings and diesel fuel purchases.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are both designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction occurs. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Since the Company has a substantial portion of its debt in variable-rate instruments, it accomplishes this objective with interest rate swaps. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.

May 17, 2016. As of December 30, 2017,described above, on July 26, 2021, Performance Food Group, Inc. had eightissued and sold $1.0 billion aggregate principal of its Notes due 2029 and used a portion of the proceeds to redeem the Notes due 2024 in full. A significant portion of this redemption was considered an extinguishment, resulting in a $3.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt within interest expense from the write-off of the pro-rata portion of the unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs related to the debt extinguishment. A portion of this redemption was considered a modification in accordance with FASB ASC 470-50, Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments, and as a result, $0.5 million of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discount for the Notes due 2024 was deferred as deferred financing costs of the Notes due 2029.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and recognizes a financing or operating lease liability and right-of-use asset in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for both operating and finance leases are recognized based on present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Since the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, swaps with a combined $650 million notional amount. The following table summarizes the outstanding Swap Agreements asCompany uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of December 30, 2017 (in millions):

Hedges of Forecasted Diesel Fuel Purchases

From time to time, Performance Food Group, Inc. enters into costless collar arrangements to manage its exposure to variability in cash flows expected to be paidlease payments. This rate was determined by using the yield curve based on the Company’s credit rating adjusted for its forecasted purchases of diesel fuel. As of December 30, 2017, Performance Food Group, Inc. was a party to two such arrangements,the Company’s specific debt profile and secured debt risk. Leases with an aggregate 4.5 million gallon original notional amount. The 4.5 million gallon forecasted purchasesinitial term of diesel fuel12 months or less are expected to be made between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018.

The fuel collar instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the derivative instruments are recorded as an asset or liability on the balance sheet at fair value and any changes in fair value are recorded in the period of change as unrealized gains or losses on fuel hedging instruments and included in Other, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

7.Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, outstanding checks in excess of deposits, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the relatively short maturities of those instruments. The derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. The fair value of long-term debt, which haslease expenses for these short-term leases are recognized on a carrying value of $1,358.7 million and $1,247.7 million, is $1,378.1 million and $1,258.3 million at December 30, 2017 and July 1, 2017, respectively, and is determined by reviewing current market pricing related to comparable debt issued atstraight-line basis over the time of the balance sheet date, and is considered a Level 2 measurement.

8.Income Taxes

The determination of the Company’s overall effective tax rate requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The effective tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in various United States federal and state jurisdictions. Tax law changes, increases and decreases in temporary and permanent differences between book and tax items, tax credits and the Company’s change in income in each jurisdiction all affect the overall effective tax rate. It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

On December 22, 2017, H.R.1, known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code including, but not limited to: reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; repealing the domestic production activity deduction, providing for bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of certain qualified property; and limiting other deductions.

The Company’s net deferred tax liability of $103.0 million as of July 1, 2017 was determined using the federal corporate tax rate of 35% prior to the passage of the Act. The Act reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. Consequently, we have recorded a $10.2 million decrease in deferred tax assets and a $47.6 million decrease in deferred tax liabilities with a corresponding net benefit to deferred income tax expense of $37.4 million for the three and six months ended December 30, 2017.

The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Act.lease term. The Company has not identified any itemsseveral lease agreements that contain lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance, taxes, and insurance, which are accounted for whichseparately. The difference between the income tax effects of the Act have not been substantially completed.operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities primarily relates to adjustments for deferred rent, favorable leases, and prepaid rent.

The Company’s effective tax rate was-128.3% for the three months ended December 30, 2017 and 40.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The Company’s effective tax rate was-43.1% for the six months ended December 30, 2017 and 39.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2016. As a result in the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35% under the Act, the Company has a blended statutory rate of 28% for the three and six months ended December 30, 2017. For the three and six months ended December 30, 2016, the statutory rate was 35%. Additionally, during the three months ended December 30, 2017, performance vesting criteria for certain stock-based compensation awards was met resulting in a significant permanent tax deduction difference. The impact to the provision for stock-based compensation and the impact of the reduction in tax rate under the Act are summarized as follows:

As of December 30, 2017 and July 1, 2017, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $28.4 million and $43.1 million, respectively, and deferred tax liabilities of $94.4 million and $146.1 million, respectively. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company records a liability for Uncertain Tax Positions in accordance with FASB ASC740-10-25,Income Taxes – General - Recognition. As of December 30, 2017 and July 1, 2017, the Company had approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. It is reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months because of statute of limitations expirations, that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

9.Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

The Company had outstanding contracts and purchase orders for capital projects and services totaling $10.1 million at December 30, 2017. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2017. Subsequent to December 30, 2017, the Company entered into an additional contract totaling $8.8 million.

Guarantees

Subsidiaries of the Company have entered into numerous operating and finance leases including leases of buildings,for various warehouses, office facilities, equipment, tractors, and trailers. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. Certain full-service fleet lease agreements include variable lease payments associated with usage, which are recorded and paid as incurred. When calculating lease liabilities, lease terms will include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Certain of the leases for tractors, trailers, and other vehicles and equipment provide for residual value guarantees to the lessors. Circumstances that would require the subsidiary to perform under the guarantees include either (1) default on the leases with the leased assets being sold for less than the specified residual values in the lease agreements, or (2) decisions not to purchase the assets at the end of the lease terms combined with the sale of the assets, with sales proceeds less than the residual value of the leased assets specified in the lease agreements. Residual value guarantees under these operating lease agreements typically range between 7%6% and 20%20% of the value of the leased assets at inception of the lease. These leases have original terms ranging from 45 to 87 years and expirationare set to expire at various dates ranging from 20182022 to 2025.2028. As of December 30, 2017,April 2, 2022, the undiscounted maximum amount of potential future payments for lease residual value guarantees totaled approximately $28.4$16.2 million, which would be mitigated by the fair value of the leased assets at lease expiration.

The assessment as to whether it is probable that subsidiariesfollowing table presents the location of the Company will be required to make payments underright-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the terms of the guarantees is based upon their actual and expected loss experience. Consistent with the requirements of FASB ASC460-10-50,Guarantees-Overall-Disclosure, the Company has recorded $0.2 million of the potential future guarantee payments on itsCompany's consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2017.April 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 (in millions), as well as the weighted-average lease term and discount rate for the Company's leases:

8.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, outstanding checks in excess of deposits, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the relatively short maturities of those instruments. The derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. The fair value of long-term debt, which has a carrying value of $3,721.1 million and $2,240.5 million, is $3,671.2 million and $2,346.2 million at April 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, and is determined by reviewing current market pricing related to comparable debt issued at the time of the balance sheet date, and is considered a Level 2 measurement.

9.
Income Taxes

The determination of the Company’s overall effective tax rate requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The effective tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in various federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax law changes, increases and decreases in temporary and permanent differences between book and tax items, tax credits, and the Company’s change in income in each jurisdiction all affect the overall effective tax rate. It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 31.3% for the three months ended April 2, 2022 and 37.1% for the three months ended March 27, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.4% for the nine months ended April 2, 2022 and 14.2% for the nine months ended March 27, 2021. The effective tax rate varies from the 21% statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, federal credits, and other permanent items. The excess tax benefit of exercised and vested stock awards is treated as a discrete item. The effective tax rates for periods ended April 2, 2022 differed from the prior year periods due to the increase of state taxes and non-deductible expenses as a percentage of book income and the decrease in deductible discrete items related to stock-based compensation as a percentage of book income.

As of April 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $264.1 million and $159.2 million, respectively, and deferred tax liabilities of $687.9 million and $299.6 million, respectively. As of April 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, the Company had established a valuation allowance of $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, net of federal benefit, against deferred tax assets related to certain net operating losses which are not likely to be realized due to limitations on utilization. The change in the deferred tax balances and the valuation allowance relates primarily to the fiscal 2022 acquisitions' deferred tax assets and deferred taxes established in purchase accounting. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company records a liability for Uncertain Tax Positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes – General – Recognition. As of April 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. The Company does not expect a material decrease in unrecognized tax benefits will occur in the next twelve months.

10.
Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

The Company had outstanding contracts and purchase orders of $168.8 million related to capital projects and services including purchases of compressed natural gas for its trucking fleet at April 2, 2022. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of April 2, 2022.

19


Guarantees

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require it to indemnify various parties against claims from third parties. These contracts primarily relate to: (i)certain real estate leases under which subsidiaries of the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities and other claims arising from their use of the applicable premises; (ii)certain agreements with the Company’s officers, directors, and employees under which the Companymay be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship; and (iii)customer agreements under which the Company may be required to indemnify customers for certain claims brought against them with respect to the supplied products.

Generally, a maximum obligation under these contracts is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts associated with these types of agreements are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been required to make payments under these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings that have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss arising from these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible to probable. When losses are probable and reasonably estimable, they have been accrued. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and, if the Company failed to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses were to exceed the Company’s current estimates of the range of potential losses, the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission LawsuitJUUL Labs, Inc. Marketing Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation. In October 2019, a Multidistrict Litigation action (“MDL”) was initiated in order to centralize litigation against JUUL Labs, Inc. (“JUUL”) and other parties in connection with JUUL’s e-cigarettes and related devices and components in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On March 11, 2020, counsel for plaintiffs and the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee filed a Master Complaint in the MDL ("master Complaint") naming, among several other entities and individuals including JUUL, Altria Group, Inc., Philip Morris USA, Inc., Altria Client Services LLC, Altria Group Distribution Company, Altria Enterprises LLC, certain members of management and/or individual investors in JUUL, various e-liquid manufacturers, and various retailers, including the Company’s subsidiaries Eby-Brown and Core-Mark, as defendants. The Master Complaint also named additional distributors of JUUL products (collectively with Eby-Brown and Core-Mark, the “Distributor Defendants”). In March 2009,The Master Complaint contains various state law claims and alleges that the Baltimore Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,Distributor Defendants: (i) failed to disclose JUUL’s nicotine contents or the “EEOC,” Field Office served usrisks associated; (ii) pushed a product designed for a youth market; (iii) engaged with company-wide (excluding, however, our VistarJUUL in planning and Roma Foodservice operations) subpoenas relatingmarketing its product in a manner designed to maximize the flow of JUUL products; (iv) met with JUUL management in San Francisco, California to further these business dealings; and (v) received incentives and business development funds for marketing and efficient sales. Individual plaintiffs may also file separate and abbreviated Short Form Complaints (“SFC”) that incorporate the allegations in the Master Complaint. JUUL, and Eby-Brown are parties to a Domestic Wholesale Distribution Agreement dated March 10, 2020 (the "Distribution Agreement"), and JUUL has agreed to defend and indemnify Eby-Brown under the terms of that agreement and is paying Eby-Brown’s outside counsel fees directly. In addition, Core-Mark and JUUL have entered into a Defense and Indemnity Agreement dated March 8, 2021 (the "Defense Agreement") pursuant to which JUUL has agreed to defend and indemnify Core-Mark, and JUUL is paying Core-Mark’s outside counsel fees directly.

On May 29, 2020, JUUL filed a motion to dismiss on the basis that the alleged violationsstate law claims are preempted by federal law and a motion to stay/dismiss the litigation based on the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) primary jurisdiction to regulate e-cigarette and related vaping products and pending FDA review of JUUL’s Pre-Market Tobacco Application (“PMTA”). On June 29, 2020, Eby-Brown and Core-Mark, along with the other Distributor Defendants, filed similar motions incorporating JUUL’s arguments. The court denied these motions on October 23, 2020.

The court has also selected the first round of bellwether cases. Bellwether trials are test cases generally intended to try a contested issue common to several plaintiffs in mass tort litigation. The results of these proceedings are used to shape the litigation process for the remaining cases and to aid the parties in assessing potential settlement values of the Equal Pay Actremaining claims. Here, the court authorized a pool of 24 bellwether plaintiffs, with plaintiffs selecting six cases, the combined defendants selecting six cases, and Title VIIthe court selecting 12 cases at random. The court and the parties have completed the initial bellwether selection process, and the first of these four bellwether trials has been set for June 21, 2022, with the remaining three trials set for the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2022. Eby-Brown and Core-Mark have been dismissed from each of the Civil Rights Act (“Title VII”), seeking certain information from January 1, 20042022 bellwether cases and will not be parties or participants to those trials. The Distributor Defendants and the retailers do, however, remain named defendants in various SFCs that were not selected as bellwether trial plaintiffs for 2022. The litigation of those claims is not scheduled to occur until after the 2022

bellwether trials conclude. The second round of bellwether cases will be chosen in May 2022, with trials proceeding for those cases in 2023. In the meantime, discovery related to the claims in the Master Complaint continues as to the Distributor Defendants.

On September 3, 2020, the Cherokee Nation filed a specified dateparallel lawsuit in Oklahoma state court against several entities including JUUL, e-liquid manufacturers, various retailers, and various distributors, including Eby-Brown and Core-Mark, alleging similar claims to the claims at issue in the MDL (the “Oklahoma Litigation”). The defendants in the Oklahoma Litigation attempted to transfer the case into the MDL, but a federal court in Oklahoma remanded the case to Oklahoma state court before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation effectuated the transfer of the MDL, which means the Oklahoma Litigation is no longer eligible for transfer to the MDL. Since then, parties agreed to stay the Oklahoma Litigation and proceed to mediation after the Oklahoma Supreme Court held that public nuisance claims cannot be brought in consumer products cases. JUUL attempted mediation with the Cherokee Nation in March 2022, which did not result in resolution. The parties now await the Cherokee Nation’s anticipated motion to lift the stay. If the stay is lifted, discovery will recommence, and the parties will litigate the various discovery disputes that were outstanding prior to the stay.

On September 10, 2021, Michael Lumpkins filed a parallel lawsuit in Illinois state court against several entities including JUUL, e-liquid manufacturers, various retailers, and various distributors, including the Company’s subsidiaries, Eby-Brown and Core-Mark, alleging similar claims to the claims at issue in the MDL (the “Illinois Litigation”). Because there is no federal jurisdiction for this case, it will proceed in Illinois state court. Plaintiff alleges as damages that his use of JUUL products caused a brain injury which was later exacerbated by medical negligence. The Court has entered a case management schedule, with a trial tentatively scheduled to take place in the first fiscalcalendar quarter of 2009. In August 2009,2024. Core-Mark has filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. Eby-Brown has filed a substantive motion to dismiss. Plaintiff has served discovery on Core-Mark and Eby-Brown in an effort to challenge both motions to dismiss and has opted to withdraw the EEOC moved to enforce the subpoenas in federal court in Maryland, and we opposed the motion. In February 2010, the court ruled that the subpoena related to the Equal Pay Act investigation was enforceable company-wide but on a narrower scope of data than the original subpoena sought (the court ruled that the subpoena was applicable to the transportation, logistics, and warehouse functions of our broadline distribution centers only and not to our PFG Customized distribution centers). We cooperated with the EEOC on the production of information. In September 2011, the EEOC notified us that the EEOC was terminating the investigation into alleged violationscurrent iteration of the Equal Pay Act. In determinations issuedcomplaint with plans to file an amended complaint in September 2012May 2022. The defense and indemnity of Eby-Brown and Core-Mark for the Illinois Litigation is indicated by the EEOC with respect to the charges on which the EEOC had based its company-wide investigation, the EEOC concluded that we engaged in a pattern of denying hiring and promotion to a class of female applicants and employees into certain positionsplain language within the transportation, logistics, and warehouse functions within our broadline division in violation of Title VII. In June 2013, the EEOC filed suit in federal court in Baltimore against us. The litigation concerns two issues: (1) whether we unlawfully engaged in an ongoing pattern and practice of failing to hire female applicants into operations positions; and (2) whether we unlawfully failed to promote one of the three individuals who filed charges with the EEOC because of her gender. The EEOC seeks the following relief in the lawsuit: (1) to permanently enjoin us from denying employment to female applicants because of their sex and denying promotions to female employees because of their sex; (2) a court order mandating that we institute and carry out policies, procedures, practices and programs which provide equal employment opportunities for females; (3) back pay with prejudgment interest and compensatory damages for a former female employee and an alleged class of aggrieved female applicants; (4) punitive damages; and (5) costs. The court bifurcated the litigation into two phases. In the first phase, the jury will decide whether we engaged in a gender-based pattern and practice of discriminationDistribution Agreement and the individual claims of one former employee. If the EEOC prevails on all counts in the first phase, no monetary relief would be awarded, except possibly for the single individual’s claims, which would be immaterial. The remaining individual claims would then be tried in the second phase. Defense Agreement.

Earnings Per Common Share

11.Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPSearnings per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potential common shares include outstanding stock-based compensation awards and expected issuable shares under the employee stock purchase plan. In computing diluted EPS,earnings per common share, the average closing stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased with the assumed proceeds from the exercise of stock options under the treasury stock method. NaN potential common shares were considered antidilutive for the three and nine months ended April 2, 2022. For the three months ended March 27, 2021, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share because the inclusion of potential common shares is antidilutive. Potential common shares of 0.7 million and 0.70.2 million for the three and sixnine months ended December 30, 2017, respectively,March 27, 2021, were not included in computing diluted earnings per common share because the effect would have been antidilutive. Potential common shares of 1.2 million and 1.0 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, were not included in computing diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.

13. Stock-Based Compensation

In connection with the Core-Mark acquisition, the Company assumed the outstanding stock-based compensation awards from Core-Mark’s 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan and 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan. On September 1, 2021, each outstanding time-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) held by a non-employee director of Core-Mark was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.44 shares of PFGC common stock (“Exchange Ratio”) and $23.875 in cash, without interest (“Per-Share Cash Amount”). Time-based RSUs held by Core-Mark employees were converted to PFG RSUs based on the prescribed ratio in the merger agreement. The ratio was calculated as the sum of the Exchange Ratio plus the quotient of the Per-Share Cash Amount divided by the volume weighted average sale price of PFGC common stock for the 10 full consecutive trading days ending on August 31, 2021 (“Stock Award Exchange Ratio”). Each performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”) of Core-Mark was converted into a PFG RSU based on the greater of the actual performance as of the acquisition date or the target performance level multiplied by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio. The pro-rata actual level of performance for the applicable performance metrics were greater than target, therefore, the PSUs were converted based on actual performance. The PFG RSUs granted as a result of the conversion are subject to the same terms and conditions, such as vesting schedule and termination related vesting provisions, as the Core-Mark awards were subject to prior to their conversion.

On September 1, 2021, the Company granted 614,056 RSUs with a grant date fair value of $49.55 per share. With the assistance of a specialist, the total $30.4 million grant date fair value was bifurcated with $9.2 million recognized as pre-combination vesting within the purchase price as consideration transferred and $21.2 million is post-combination expense to be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.80 years.

14. Segment Information

In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company changed its operating segments to reflect the manner in which the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business. Based on the Company’s organization structure and how the Company’s management reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, the Company now has three3 reportable segments, as defined by ASC 280Segment Reporting, related to disclosures about segmentssegments: Foodservice, Vistar, and Convenience.

The Foodservice segment distributes a broad line of an enterprise. The Performance Foodservice (“PFS”) segment marketsnational brands, customer brands, and distributesour proprietary-branded food and food-related products, or “Performance Brands.” Foodservice sells to independent restaurants, chainand multi-unit “Chain” restaurants and other institutional “food-away-from-home” locations. The PFG Customized segment principally servesinstitutions such as schools, healthcare facilities, business and industry locations, and retail establishments. Our Chain customers are multi-unit restaurants with five or more locations and include some of the most recognizable family and casual dining channel but also serves fine dining, and fast casual restaurant chains. TheOur Vistar segment distributesspecializes in distributing candy, snack, beverage,snacks, beverages, and other productsitems nationally to customers in the vending, office coffee services,service, theater, retail, hospitality, and other channels. Our Convenience channel distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, food and foodservice products, and other items to convenience stores across the United States and Canada. Intersegment sales represent sales between the segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Management evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on various operating and financial metrics, including total sales and EBITDA. For PFG Customized, EBITDA includes certain allocated corporate charges that are included in operating expenses. The allocated corporate charges are determined based on a percentage of total sales. This percentage is reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure that the segment is allocated a reasonable rate of corporate expenses based on their use of corporate services.

Corporate & All Other is comprised of corporate overhead and certain operations that are not considered separate reportable segments based on their size. This includes the operations of the Company’s internal logistics unit responsible for managing and allocating inbound logistics revenue and expense, as well asexpense. Beginning in the operations of certain recent acquisitions.

In the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2022, this also includes the Company reorganized itsoperating results from certain recent immaterial acquisitions.

Cigarette sales represented 26.9% and 25.8% of awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company or its affiliates. The terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2007 Option Plan were determined by the Board of Directors.

The Tranche II and Tranche III options and restricted stock granted under the 2007 Option Plan are subject to both time and performance vesting, including performance criteria based on the internal rate of return and sponsor cash inflows as outlined in the 2007 Option Plan.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, Wellspring sold all of their remaining interest in shares of the Company’s common stock. On December 7, 2017, the Company determined that the performance criteria for the Tranche II and III awards had been met and 2.1 million shares of restricted stock and 1.4 million options vested. In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recognized approximately $6.3 million of accelerated compensation expense in connection with the vesting of the Tranche II and III awards. Based on the performance achieved, total compensation expense for the Tranche II and III awards was $24.9 million. The excess tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operationsnet sales for the three and sixnine months ended December 30, 2017 was $15.4 million.April 2, 2022 compared to 13.9% and 14.4% for the three and nine months ended March 27, 2021, respectively. The Company’s significant suppliers include Altria Group, Inc. (parent company of Philip Morris USA, Inc.) and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, which, in the aggregate, represents approximately 20.3% of products purchased for the nine months ended April 2, 2022. Although cigarettes represent a significant portion of the Company’s total net sales and cost of goods sold, the majority of the Company's gross profit is generated from the sales of food and food-related products.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form10-Q(the “Form 10-Q”) 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017 (the “Form10-K”).10-K. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described in the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of the Form10-K and in the “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of our quarterly report on Form10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017. 10-K. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should carefully read “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this quarterly report on Form10-Q.

Our Company

We market and distribute approximately 150,000over 250,000 food and food-related products to customers across the United States and Canada from approximately 76150 distribution facilities to over 150,000300,000 customer locations in the “food-away-from-home” industry. We offer our customers a broad assortment of products including our proprietary-branded products, nationally-brandednationally branded products, and products bearing our customers’ brands. Our product assortment ranges from“center-of-the-plate” “center-of-the-plate” items (such as beef, pork, poultry, and seafood), frozen foods, and groceries to candy, snacks, and beverages. We also sell disposables, cleaning and kitchen supplies, and related products used by our customers.customers, as well as cigarettes and other tobacco products. In addition to the products we offer to our customers, we provide value-added services by allowing our customers to benefit from our industry knowledge, scale, and expertise in the areas of product selection and procurement, menu development, and operational strategy.

We haveIn the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company changed its operating segments to reflect the manner in which the business is managed. Based on the Company’s organization structure and how the Company’s management reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocation, the Company now has three reportable segments: Performance Foodservice, PFG Customized,Vistar, and Vistar.Convenience. Our Performance Foodservice segment distributes a broad line of national brands, customer brands, and our proprietary-branded food and food-related products, or “Performance Brands.” Performance Foodservice sells to independent or “Street,” and multi-unit or “Chain,”“Chain” restaurants and other institutions such as schools, healthcare facilities, and business and industry locations.locations, and retail establishments. Our PFG Customized segment has provided longstanding service toChain customers are multi-unit restaurants with five or more locations and include some of the most recognizable family and casual dining restaurant chains and recently expanded service into fast casual restaurant chains. Our Vistar segment specializes in distributing candy, snacks, beverages, and other items nationally to the vending, office coffee service, theater, retail, hospitality, and other channels. Our Convenience channel distributes candy, snacks, beverages, cigarettes, other tobacco products, food and foodservice products and other items to convenience stores across the United States and Canada. We believe that there are substantial synergies across our segments. Cross-segment synergies include procurement, operational best practices such as the use of new productivity technologies, and supply chain and network optimization, as well as shared corporate functions such as accounting, treasury, tax, legal, information systems, and human resources.

Recent Trends and Initiatives

Our case volume has grown in each quarter overOn September 1, 2021, Performance Food Group Company completed the comparable prior fiscal year quarter, starting in the second quarteracquisition of fiscal 2010 and continuing through the most recent quarter. We believe that we gained industry share during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 given that we have grown our sales more rapidly than the industry growth rate forecasted by Technomic, a research and consulting firm serving the food and food related industry. Our Net income increased 240.6% from the second quarter of fiscal 2017 to the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and increased 186.6% from the first six months of fiscal 2017 to the first six months of fiscal 2018. Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.2% from the second quarter of fiscal 2017 to the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and increased 15.4% from the first six months of fiscal 2017 to the first six months of fiscal 2018, driven primarily by case growth and improved profit per case. Case volume grew 4.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and 3.9% in the first six months of fiscal 2018 compared to the prior year periods. Gross margin dollars rose 9.7% and 9.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and the first six months of fiscal 2018, respectively, versus the prior year periods primarily asCore-Mark. As a result, the Company expanded its convenience business, which now includes operations in Canada. Refer to Note 5. Business Combinations for additional details regarding the acquisition of shifting our channel mix toward higher gross margin customers and shifting our product mix toward sales of Performance Brands. Our operating expenses, compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, increased 11.3% and 8.2%, respectively, as a result of increases in variable operational and selling expenses associated with the increase in case volume, as well as due to severalone-time expenses including accelerated stock-based compensation expense.Core-Mark.

Key Factors Affecting Our Business

We believe that ourshort-term performance has been, and is expected to continue to be, adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Our business, our industry and the U.S. economy continue to be adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. The Company continues to actively monitor the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business including related actions taken by government authorities.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, economic and operating conditions for our business improved significantly. As governmental restrictions are eased, consumers are returning to consuming food away from home, traveling, and attending events at entertainment venues. However, the Company and our industry may continue to face challenges as the recovery continues, such as availability of product supply, increased product and logistics costs, access to labor supply, lower disposable incomes, and the emergence of COVID-19 variants. The extent to which these challenges will affect our future financial position, liquidity, and results of operations remains uncertain.

Despite the near-term impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that our long-term performance is principally affected by the following key factors:

Changing demographic and macroeconomic trends. Until recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the share of consumer spending captured by the food-away-from-home industry has increased steadily for several decades. The share

25

Changing demographic and macroeconomic trends.The share of consumer spending captured by thefood-away-from-home industry increased steadily for several decades and paused during the recession that began in 2008. Following the recession, the share has again increased as a result of increasing employment, rising disposable income, increases in the number of restaurants, and favorable demographic trends, such as smaller household sizes, an increasing number of dual income households, and an aging population base that spends more per capita at foodservice establishments. The foodservice distribution industry is also sensitive to national and regional economic conditions, such as changes in consumer spending, changes in consumer confidence, and changes in the prices of certain goods.

Food distribution market structure.We are the third largest foodservice distributer by revenue in the United States behind Sysco and US Foods, which are both national broadline distributors. The balance of the market consists of a wide spectrum of companies ranging from businesses selling a single category of product (e.g., produce) to large regional broadline distributors with many distribution centers and thousands of products across all categories. We believe our scale enables us to invest in our Performance Brands, to benefit from economies of scale in purchasing and procurement, and to drive supply chain efficiencies that enhance our customers’ satisfaction and profitability. We believe that the relative growth of larger foodservice distributors will continue to outpace that of smaller, independent players in our industry.

Our ability to successfully execute our segment strategies and implement our initiatives. Our performance will continue to depend on our ability to successfully execute our segment strategies and to implement our current and future initiatives. The key strategies include focusing on independent sales and Performance Brands, pursuing new customers for both of our reportable segments, expansion of geographies, utilizing our infrastructure to gain further operating and purchasing efficiencies, and making strategic acquisitions.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key measures used by our management are discussed below. The percentages on the results presented below are calculated based on rounded numbers.

Net Sales

Net sales is equal to gross sales, plus excise taxes, minus sales returns; sales incentives that we offer to our customers, such as rebates and discounts that are offsets to gross sales; and certain other adjustments. Our net sales are driven by changes in case volumes, product inflation that is reflected in the pricing of our products, and mix of products sold.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to our net sales minus our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold primarily includes inventory costs (net of supplier consideration), inbound freight, and inbound freight.remittances of excise tax. Cost of goods sold generally changes as we incur higher or lower costs from our suppliers and as our customer and product mix changes.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Management measures operating performance based on our EBITDA, defined as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is subject to important limitations. Our definition of EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our performance. We use this measure to evaluate the performance of our segments and for business planning purposes. We present EBITDA in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede U.S. GAAP measures.

In addition, our 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 that 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 our credit agreement ABL Facility and indentureindentures (other than certain pro forma adjustments permitted under our credit agreement ABL Facility and indentureindentures governing the Notes due 2025, Notes due 2027, and Notes due 2029 relating to the Adjusted EBITDA contribution of acquired entities or businesses prior to the acquisition date). Under our credit agreement ABL Facility and indenture,indentures, our 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 ABL Facility and indenture)indentures). Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

26


Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is subject to important limitations. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties, including our lenders under the ABL Facility (as defined below under “-Liquidity and Capital Resources”) and holders of our Notes (as defined below under “-Liquiditydue 2025, Notes due 2027, and Capital Resources”),Notes due 2029 in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to ours. In addition, targets based on Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures we use to evaluate our management’s performance for purposes of determining their compensation under our incentive plans.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

exclude certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;

do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service our debt.

In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, we add back certainnon-cash,non-recurring, and other items as permitted or required by our credit agreementABL Facility and indenture.indentures. Adjusted EBITDA among other things:

does not includenon-cash stock-based employee compensation expense and certain othernon-cash charges; and

does not include cashacquisition, restructuring, andnon-cash restructuring, severance, and relocation other costs incurred to realize future cost savings and enhance our operations; andoperations.

does not reflect advisory fees paid.

We have included the calculations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

We borrow under our ABL Facilitycredit facility or pay it down regularly based on our cash flows from operating and investing activities. Our practice is to minimize interest expense while maintaining reasonable liquidity.

As market conditions warrant, we and our stockholders may from time to time depending upon market conditions, seek to repurchase our securities or loans in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Any such repurchases may be funded by incurring new debt, including additional borrowings under our ABL Facility.credit facility. In addition, depending on conditions in the credit and capital markets and other factors, we will, from time to time, consider other financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance our indebtedness, make investments or acquisitions or for other purposes. Any new debt may be secured debt.

Operating ActivitiesOur cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond relate to our long-term debt and associated interest payments, operating and finance leases, and purchase obligations. For information regarding the Company’s expected cash requirements related to long-term debt and operating and finance leases, see Note 6. Debt and Note 7.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), require public companies, including us, to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined in Rule13a-15(e) and Rule15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required or necessary disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. In accordance with Rule13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, were effective to accomplish their objectives at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

(1)During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company purchased 829,386 shares of the Company’s common stock in transactions unrelated to a publicly announced plan or program. These transactions consisted of acquisitions of shares of the Company’s common stock via share withholding for payroll tax obligations due from employees in connection with the delivery of shares of the Company’s common stock under our incentive plans.
(1)
During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company repurchased 36,198 shares of the Company’s common stock via share withholding for payroll tax obligations due from employees in connection with the delivery of shares of the Company’s common stock under our incentive plans.

(2)
On November 13, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $250 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended, discontinued at any time. Repurchases under this program depend upon market place conditions and other factors, including compliance with the covenants under the ABL Facility and the indentures governing the Notes due 2025, Notes due 2027, and Notes due 2029. The share repurchase program remains subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. On March 23, 2020, the Company discontinued further purchases under the plan and, therefore, no shares were repurchased subsequent to this date. As of April 2, 2022, approximately $235.7 million remained available for additional share repurchases.
