Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION US Foods Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in these consolidated financial statements and notes as “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “US Foods.” US Foods Holding Corp. conducts all of its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary US Foods, Inc. (“USF”) and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s indebtedness, as further described in Note 9, Debt, is a direct obligation of USF and its subsidiaries. Business Description —The Company, through USF, operates in one business segment in which it markets, sells and distributes fresh, frozen and dry food and non-food products to foodservice customers throughout the United States (“U.S.”). These customers include independently owned single and multi-unit restaurants, regional concepts, national restaurant chains, hospitals, nursing homes, hotels and motels, country clubs, government and military organizations, colleges and universities and retail locations. Basis of Presentation —The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, with all periods ending on a Saturday. When a 53-week fiscal year occurs, the Company reports the additional week in the fiscal fourth quarter. Fiscal years 2023 and 2022 are both 52-week fiscal years. The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and notes prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures included in this Quarterly Report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2022 Annual Report. The consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be achieved for any other interim period or the full fiscal year.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 “Reference Rate Reform” (“Topic 848”) “Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848”, which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Topic 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The standard was effective upon issuance and the Company may apply the optional expedients and elections in Topic 848 prospectively through December 31, 2024. For the Company, the provisions of this ASU were effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition (Footnote -

Revenue Recognition (Footnote - Level 1)	3 Months Ended
	Apr. 01, 2023
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue recognition	REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied, which occurs when a customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from the distribution and sale of food and food-related products and recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss passes to the customer and the customer accepts the goods, which occurs at delivery. Customer sales incentives, such as volume-based rebates or discounts, are treated as a reduction of revenue at the time the revenue is recognized. Sales taxes invoiced to customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from net sales. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment costs and included in distribution, selling and administrative costs. The Company did not have any material outstanding performance obligations, contract liabilities or capitalized contract acquisition costs as of April 1, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Customer receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, less allowances in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company has certain customer contracts under which incentives are paid upfront to its customers. These payments have become industry practice and are not related to financing any customer’s business, nor are these payments associated with any distinct good or service to be received from any customer. These incentive payments are capitalized in prepaid expenses and other assets and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the life of the contract or as goods or services are transferred to the customer. The Company’s contract assets for these upfront payments were $31 million and $29 million included in prepaid expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and $32 million and $31 million included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The following table presents the disaggregation of revenue for each of the Company’s principal product categories: 13 Weeks Ended April 1, 2023 April 2, 2022 Meats and seafood $ 2,826 $ 2,950 Dry grocery products 1,551 1,333 Refrigerated and frozen grocery products 1,445 1,179 Dairy 935 761 Equipment, disposables and supplies 880 811 Beverage products 461 376 Produce 444 388 Total net sales $ 8,542 $ 7,798

Inventories

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventories	INVENTORIES The Company’s inventories, consisting mainly of food and other food-related products, are primarily considered finished goods. Inventory costs include the purchase price of the product, freight costs to deliver it to the Company’s distribution and retail facilities, and depreciation and labor related to processing facilities and equipment, and are net of certain cash or non-cash consideration received from vendors. The Company assesses the need for valuation allowances for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories by estimating the net recoverable value of such goods based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items, and overall economic conditions.The Company records inventories at the lower of cost or market primarily using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. For our LIFO based inventories, the base year values of beginning and ending inventories are determined using the inventory price index computation method. This “links” current costs to original costs in the base year when the Company adopted LIFO. LIFO reserves in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were $509 million and $489 million as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As a result of changes in LIFO reserves, cost of goods sold increased $20 million and $72 million for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively

Receivables [Abstract]
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTSThe Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of factors. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical experience, future expected losses, as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be written off, including bankruptcy, accounts referred to outside parties for collection, and accounts past due over specified periods. A summary of the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022 was as follows: April 1, 2023 April 2, 2022 Balance as of beginning of year $ 30 $ 33 Charged to costs and expenses, net 10 — Customer accounts written off—net of recoveries (8) — Balance as of end of period $ 32 $ 33

Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
Property and Equipment	PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 40 years. Property and equipment under financing leases and leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining terms of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets, if reasonably assured the Company will purchase the assets at the end of the lease terms. As of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, property and equipment-net included accumulated depreciation of $3,058 million and $2,981 million, respectively. Depreciation expense was $87 million and $78 million for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, respectively

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangibles	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES Goodwill includes the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of the tangible and other intangible net assets acquired. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, amortizable trade names, the brand names comprising the Company’s portfolio of exclusive brands, and trademarks. Brand names and trademarks are indefinite-lived intangible assets and, accordingly, are not subject to amortization, but are subject to impairment assessments as described below. Customer relationships and amortizable trade names are intangible assets with definite lives, and are carried at the acquired fair value less accumulated amortization. Customer relationships and amortizable trade names are amortized over their estimated useful lives (which range from approximately 3 to 15 years). Amortization expense was $11 million for both the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022. Goodwill and other intangibles—net consisted of the following: April 1, 2023 December 31, 2022 Goodwill $ 5,625 $ 5,625 Other intangibles—net Customer relationships—amortizable: Gross carrying amount $ 655 $ 655 Accumulated amortization (155) (144) Net carrying value 500 511 Trade names—amortizable: Gross carrying amount 4 4 Accumulated amortization (1) (1) Net carrying value 3 3 Brand names and trademarks—not amortizing 271 271 Total other intangibles—net $ 774 $ 785

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended
	Apr. 01, 2023
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP, under which fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The Company’s fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, fair value accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1—observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets • Level 2—observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data • Level 3—unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions Any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be recognized as of the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurs. There were no transfers between fair value levels in any of the periods presented below. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall, were as follows: April 1, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Money market funds $ 207 $ — $ — $ 207 December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Money market funds $ 139 $ — $ — $ 139 There were no significant assets or liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the periods presented above, except as further disclosed in Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Money Market Funds Money market funds include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three or fewer months. These funds are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are classified under Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company has in the past, and may in the future, use interest rate hedges, designated as cash flow hedges, to manage its exposure to interest rate movements in connection with its variable-rate debt. The Company had no outstanding interest rate hedge agreements as of either April 1, 2023 or December 31, 2022. See Note 18, Subsequent Events, for a description of the interest rate cap agreements entered into subsequent to April 1, 2023. Other Fair Value Measurements The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, vendor receivables, cash overdraft liability and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the Company’s total debt approximated $4.7 billion and $4.6 billion as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to its carrying value of $4.8 billion and $4.9 billion as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s 6.25% senior secured notes due April 15, 2025 (the “Secured Senior Notes due 2025”) was $1.0 billion as of both April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s 4.75% unsecured senior notes due February 15, 2029 (the “Unsecured Senior Notes due 2029”) was $0.8 billion as of both April 1, 2023 and December 31,

ABL Facility USF’s asset based senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) provides USF with loan commitments having a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2,300 million. The ABL Facility is scheduled to mature on December 7, 2027. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest, at USF’s periodic election, at a rate equal to the sum of an alternative base rate (“ABR”), as described in the ABL Facility, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50%, or the sum of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, based on USF’s excess availability under the ABL Facility, and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under the ABL Facility as of April 1, 2023 was 0.00% for ABR loans and 1.00% for SOFR loans. USF had no outstanding borrowings, and had outstanding letters of credit totaling $458 million, under the ABL Facility as of April 1, 2023. The outstanding letters of credit primarily relate to securing USF’s obligations with respect to its insurance program and certain real estate leases.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per share	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Earnings Per Share The Company computes EPS in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings per Share . Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities. The Company applies the treasury method to calculate the dilution impact of share-based awards—stock options, non-vested restricted shares with forfeitable dividend rights, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan deferrals. The Company applies the if-converted method to calculate the dilution impact of the Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), if dilutive in the period. For the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, share-based awards representing 1 million and 8 million underlying common shares, respectively, were not included in the computation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2022, Series A Preferred Stock representing 25 million of underlying common shares was not included in the computation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The Series A Preferred Stock shares were dilutive for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS: 13 Weeks Ended April 1, 2023 April 2, 2022 Numerator: Net income (loss) $ 82 $ (7) Less: Series A Preferred Stock Dividends (7) (9) Net income (loss) available to common shareholders $ 75 $ (16) Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding—basic 226 223 Effect of dilutive share-based awards 3 — Effect of dilutive underlying shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (1) 23 — Weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted 252 223 Net income per share Basic $ 0.33 $ (0.07) Diluted $ 0.32 $ (0.07) (1) Under the if-converted method, outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are converted to common shares for inclusion in the calculation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted. Once converted, there would be no preferred stock outstanding and therefore no Series A Preferred Stock dividend. As of April 1, 2023, the 23 million shares represent the weighted average impact on these shares during the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023.

Convertible Preferred Stock [Abstract]
Convertible Preferred Stock	CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK On May 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of an Investment Agreement with KKR Fresh Aggregator L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which agreement was joined on February 25, 2021 by permitted transferee KKR Fresh Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“KKR”), the Company issued and sold 500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, to KKR Fresh Aggregator L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million, or $1,000 per share (the “Issuance”). The Company used the net proceeds from the Issuance for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding a total of 371,044 and 532,281 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, respectively. The Series A Preferred Stock had a carrying value of $373 million and $534 million as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. On March 10, 2023, KKR converted 161,237 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 7,600,037 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock, each such share is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the sum of the liquidation preference for such share ($1,000) and the accrued and unpaid dividends with regard to such share divided, by (B) the applicable conversion price ($21.50, subject to certain adjustments). The issuance of the 7,600,037 shares of Common Stock was exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the Series A Preferred Stock was exchanged for Common Stock by an existing security holder and no commission or other remuneration was paid. On March 31, 2023, the Company paid cash dividends of $7 million on the remaining outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income taxes	INCOME TAXES The determination of the Company’s overall effective income tax rate requires the use of estimates. The effective income tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions based on enacted tax law, permanent differences between book and tax items, tax credits and the Company’s change in relative income in each jurisdiction. The Company estimated its annual effective income tax rate for the full fiscal year and applied the annual effective income tax rate to the results of the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, and then recognized the impact of discrete tax items for purposes of determining its year-to-date tax provision. For the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2023, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 23% differed from the 21% federal corporate income tax rate primarily as a result of state income taxes and the recognition of various discrete tax items. These discrete tax items included a tax benefit of $4 million, primarily related to excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation. For the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2022, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 51% differed from the 21% federal corporate income tax rate primarily as a result of state income taxes and the recognition of various discrete tax items. These discrete tax items included a tax benefit of $4 million, primarily related to excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation.

Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Commitments —The Company enters into purchase orders with vendors and other parties in the ordinary course of business and has a limited number of purchase contracts with certain vendors that require it to buy a predetermined volume of products. The Company had $1,845 million of purchase orders and purchase contract commitments as of April 1, 2023 to be purchased in the remainder of fiscal year 2023 and $50 million of information technology commitments through September 2025 that are not recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. To minimize fuel price risk, the Company enters into forward purchase commitments for a portion of its projected diesel fuel requirements. The Company had diesel fuel forward purchase commitments totaling $34 million through December 2023, as of April 1, 2023. Additionally, the Company had electricity forward purchase commitments totaling $6 million through June 2024, as of April 1, 2023. The Company does not measure its forward purchase commitments for fuel and electricity at fair value, as the amounts under contract meet the physical delivery criteria in the normal purchase exception. Legal Proceedings —The Company is subject to a number of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. These legal proceedings, whether pending, threatened or unasserted, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, may result in liabilities material to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has recognized provisions with respect to the proceedings, where appropriate, in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. It is possible that the Company could settle one or more of these proceedings or could be required to make expenditures, in excess of the established provisions, in amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Company, at present, believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
