Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Performance Food Group Company:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2007 and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PERFORMANCE FOOD GROUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | | Basis of Presentation |
|
| | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 are unaudited. The unaudited December 30, 2006 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. |
|
| | In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. References in this Form 10-Q to the 2007 and 2006 quarters and periods refer to the fiscal three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, note disclosures and other information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
|
2. | | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
| | Use of Estimates |
|
| | The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The most significant estimates used by management are related to the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, reserves for claims under self-insurance programs, vendor rebates and other promotional incentives, bonus accruals, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from the estimates. |
|
| | Inventories |
|
| | The Company’s inventories consist of food and non-food products. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. At June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, the Company’s inventory balances of $314.1 million and $308.9 million, respectively, consisted primarily of finished goods. Costs in inventory include the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver the product to the Company’s warehouses. The Company maintains reserves for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories. These reserves are based upon category, inventory age, specifically identified items and overall economic conditions. |
|
| | Revenue Recognition |
|
| | The Company recognizes sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the product has been delivered to the customer and there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. Sales returns are recorded as reductions of sales. |
6
| | Reclassifications |
|
| | Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. |
|
| | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
|
| | The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement will apply when other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The Company will adopt this pronouncement in its first quarter of fiscal 2008 and is still assessing the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
|
| | In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and is still assessing the impact SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
|
3. | | Discontinued Operations |
|
| | In 2005, the Company sold all of its stock in the subsidiaries that comprised its fresh-cut segment to Chiquita Brands International, Inc. (“Chiquita”); as such, all amounts pertaining to the Company’s former fresh-cut segment are presented as discontinued operations. Accordingly, unless otherwise noted, all amounts presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, including all note disclosures, contain only information related to the Company’s continuing operations. |
|
4. | | Earnings Per Common Share |
|
| | Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the quarter. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the quarter. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased with proceeds under the treasury stock method. |
|
| | A reconciliation of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2007 Quarter | | 2006 Quarter |
(In thousands, except per share | | | | | | | | | | Per-Share | | | | | | | | | | Per-Share |
amounts) | | Earnings | | Shares | | Amount | | Earnings | | Shares | | Amount |
|
Basic EPS – continuing operations | | $ | 13,081 | | | | 34,744 | | | $ | 0.38 | | | $ | 12,168 | | | | 34,191 | | | $ | 0.36 | |
Dilutive effect of equity awards | | | — | | | | 568 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 606 | | | | — | |
|
Diluted EPS – continuing operations | | $ | 13,081 | | | | 35,312 | | | $ | 0.37 | | | $ | 12,168 | | | | 34,797 | | | $ | 0.35 | |
|
Options to purchase approximately 0.9 million shares that were outstanding at June 30, 2007 were excluded from the computation of diluted shares because of their anti-dilutive effect on EPS for the 2007 quarter. The exercise price of these options ranged from $33.50 to $41.15. Options to purchase approximately 1.6 million shares that were outstanding at July 1, 2006 were excluded from the computation of diluted shares
7
because of their anti-dilutive effect on EPS for the 2006 quarter. The exercise prices of these options ranged from $31.25 to $41.15.

|
5. | | Stock Based Compensation |
|
| | Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in fiscal 2007 and 2006 includes: 1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted through December 31, 2005, but for which the requisite service period had not been completed as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and 2) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). |
|
| | Stock Option and Incentive Plans |
|
| | During the 2007 period, the Company granted approximately 225,000 stock appreciation rights under the Company’s 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”). The stock appreciation rights have a capped maximum appreciation amount and are settled in the Company’s common stock. The Company also awarded approximately 221,000 shares of restricted stock. All of the grants made in the 2007 period will generally vest four years from the date of grant. Approximately $0.6 million and $0.3 million of stock compensation expense was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings in the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.6 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, for stock options and stock appreciation rights and $1.2 million and $0.8 million in the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, and $2.1 million and $1.0 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, for restricted stock grants. The Company has not made any grants of other stock based awards under the 2003 Plan. |
|
| | Employee Stock Purchase Plan |
|
| | Purchases made on January 15, 2007 under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) totaled approximately 56,000 shares and the grant date fair value was estimated to be $4.32 per share. The purchase price is equal to 85% of the market price on the last day of the purchase period. Stock compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings was approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million in the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.7 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, for the Stock Purchase Plan. |
|
| | All Share-Based Compensation Plans |
|
| | The total share-based compensation cost recognized in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings in the 2007 and 2006 quarters was $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and $3.3 million and $2.3 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, which represents the expense associated with our stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan. At June 30, 2007, there was approximately $5.1 million total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights and $11.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares of restricted stock, which will be recognized over the remaining vesting periods. |

6. | | Adoption of FIN 48 |
|
| | The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), effective at the beginning of fiscal 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $0.5 million to its beginning retained earnings balance. As of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $5.6 million, of which $2.3 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate for continuing operations. |
|
| | It is the Company’s continuing practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Approximately $1.1 million and $0.8 million were accrued for interest related to uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively. |
|
| | As of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, substantially all federal, state and local and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2002. It is reasonably possible that a decrease of $1.9 million in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months due to statute of limitations expirations, filing of amended returns, and closing and/or settling of audits. Of this amount, up to $1.0 million could affect the effective tax rate of continuing operations. |
|
7. | | Receivables Facility |
|
| | In 2001, the Company entered into a receivables purchase facility (the “Receivables Facility”), under which PFG Receivables Corporation, a wholly owned, special-purpose subsidiary, sold an undivided interest in certain of the Company’s trade receivables. PFG Receivables Corporation was formed for the sole purpose of buying receivables generated by certain of the Company’s operating units and selling an undivided interest in those receivables to a financial institution. Under the Receivables Facility, certain of the Company’s operating units sell a portion of their accounts receivable to PFG Receivables Corporation, which in turn, subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell an undivided interest in these receivables to a financial institution. The Company’s operating units continue to service the receivables on behalf of the financial institution at estimated market rates. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a servicing asset or liability. During the 2007 quarter, the Company extended the term of the Receivables Facility through June 23, 2008. |
|
| | At June 30, 2007, securitized accounts receivable totaled $240.4 million, including $130.0 million sold to the financial institution and derecognized from the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Total securitized accounts receivable include the Company’s residual interest in accounts receivable (“Residual Interest”) of $110.4 million. At December 30, 2006, securitized accounts receivable totaled $250.8 million, including $130.0 million sold to the financial institution and derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet, and including Residual Interest of $120.8 million. The Residual Interest represents the Company’s retained interest in receivables held by PFG Receivables Corporation. The Residual Interest was measured using the estimated discounted cash flows of the underlying accounts receivable, based on estimated collections and a discount rate approximately equivalent to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The loss on the sale of the undivided interest in receivables of $1.9 million in both the 2007 and 2006 quarters and $3.7 million and $3.5 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, is included in other expense, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings and represents the Company’s cost of securitizing those receivables with the financial institution. At June 30, 2007, the rate under the Receivables Facility was 5.70% per annum. |
|
| | The key economic assumptions used to measure the Residual Interest at June 30, 2007 were a discount rate of 6.0% and an estimated life of approximately 1.5 months. At June 30, 2007, an immediate adverse change in the discount rate and estimated life of 10% and 20%, with other factors remaining constant, would reduce the fair value of the Residual Interest, with a corresponding increase in the loss on sale of receivables, but would not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. |

9. | | Share Repurchase and Retirement |
|
| | During the 2006 period, the Company completed purchases under its $100 million repurchase program announced in August 2005, resulting in the repurchase of 1.5 million additional shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $25.93 to $29.61, for a total purchase price of $39.6 million, including transaction costs. |
|
10. | | Commitments and Contingencies |
|
| | At June 30, 2007, the Company’s Broadline and Customized segments had outstanding commitments for capital projects totaling $33.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. |
|
| | The Company has entered into numerous operating leases, including leases of buildings, equipment, tractors and trailers. In certain of the Company’s leases of tractors, trailers and other vehicles and |
10
| | equipment, the Company has provided residual value guarantees to the lessors. Circumstances that would require the Company to perform under the guarantees include either (1) the Company’s default on the leases with the leased assets being sold for less than the specified residual values in the lease agreements, or (2) the Company’s decision not to purchase the assets at the end of the lease terms combined with the sale of the assets, with sale proceeds less than the residual value of the leased assets specified in the lease agreements. The Company’s residual value guarantees under these operating lease agreements typically range between 4% and 20% of the value of the leased assets at inception of the lease. These leases have original terms ranging from two to eight years and expiration dates ranging from 2007 to 2014. As of June 30, 2007, the undiscounted maximum amount of potential future payments under the Company’s guarantees totaled $7.4 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 the Company will be required to make payments under the terms of the guarantees is based upon the Company’s actual and expected loss experience. Consistent with the requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 45,Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees of Indebtness of Others (“FIN 45”), the Company has recorded $80,000 of the $7.4 million of potential future guarantee payments on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. |
|
11. | | Sale-leaseback transaction |
|
| | During the 2007 period, the Company entered into a substitution of collateral and sale-leaseback transaction involving one of its Broadline operating facilities and one of its former fresh-cut segment operating facilities. This transaction resulted in the Company being released from a guarantee of future lease payments on one of its former fresh-cut segment facilities that was sold to Chiquita. The Company’s Broadline operating facility was sold to a third party and leased back pursuant to a lease agreement with an initial term expiring in 2026. This transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $2.9 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 98,Accounting for Leases: Sale-Leaseback Transactions involving Real Estate,the gain will be amortized over the life of the lease as a reduction of lease expense. |
|
12. | | Industry Segment Information |
|
| | The Company has two operating segments included in its continuing operations: broadline foodservice distribution (“Broadline”) and customized foodservice distribution (“Customized”). As previously discussed in Note 3, the Company’s former fresh-cut segment is accounted for as a discontinued operation. Broadline markets and distributes more than 65,000 national and proprietary brand food and non-food products to a total of over 41,000 street and chain customers. Broadline consists of 19 distribution facilities that design their own product mix, distribution routes and delivery schedules to accommodate the needs of a large number of customers whose individual purchases vary in size. In addition, Broadline operates three locations that provide merchandising services to independent foodservice and non-foodservice distributors. Customized services casual and family dining chain restaurants. These customers generally prefer a distribution system that facilitates overall program management, menu and promotional roll-out changes, individualized customer service and tailored distribution routing. The Customized distribution network distributes nationwide and internationally from eight distribution facilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Unless this Form 10-Q indicates otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “Performance Food Group” as used in this Form 10-Q refer to Performance Food Group Company and its subsidiaries other than those making up our former fresh-cut segment. References in this Form 10-Q to the 2007 and 2006 quarters and periods refer to our fiscal three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.
In 2005, we sold all of our stock in the companies comprising our fresh-cut segment to Chiquita Brands International, Inc. In accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,it is accounted for as a discontinued operation. The following detailed discussion and analysis is representative of our continuing operations only.
Overview
Our net sales in the 2007 quarter increased 8.1% compared to the 2006 quarter and increased 6.1% in the 2007 period compared to the 2006 period. Inflation was approximately 4.8% in the 2007 quarter and 3.7% in the 2007 period. Sales in the 2007 quarter and period were impacted by increased street sales in our Broadline segment and increased sales to existing customers in our Customized segment. Sales in the 2007 period were also impacted by the exit of certain multi-unit accounts in the first quarter of 2006. Our gross margin percentage, which we define as gross profit as a percentage of sales, decreased in the 2007 quarter and period primarily due to the impact of inflation in our Broadline segment, partially offset by a more favorable sales mix as a result of growth in higher margin street sales, improvements related to our procurement initiatives in our Broadline segment and increased distribution fees in our Customized segment. While our operating expenses increased in both the 2007 quarter and period, primarily due to increased personnel and insurance costs, our operating expense ratio, which we define as operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, decreased primarily due to higher sales levels and improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by higher stock compensation costs.
Going forward, we will continue to be focused on managing the growth we are generating in our business, adding new capacity and driving operational improvements in each of our business segments. We continue to seek innovative means of servicing our customers to distinguish ourselves from others in the marketplace.

| | *Intersegment sales are sales between the segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. |
Consolidated.In the 2007 quarter, net sales increased $116.6 million, or 8.1%, to $1.6 billion. In the 2007 period, net sales increased $176.9 million, or 6.1%, to $3.1 billion. We estimated that inflation was approximately 4.8% in the 2007 quarter and 3.7% in the 2007 period. Both segments are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs.
Broadline.In the 2007 quarter, Broadline net sales increased $90.7 million, or 10.5%, to $954.3 million, compared to $863.6 million in the 2006 quarter. In the 2007 period, Broadline net sales increased $138.0 million, or 8.0%, to $1.9 billion, compared to $1.7 billion in the 2006 period. We estimated that food price inflation of approximately 7.1% and 6.1%, primarily in the dairy, meat and poultry product categories, contributed to the increase in Broadline’s net sales in the 2007 quarter and period, respectively. In the 2007 quarter and period, sales also increased due to increased street sales. In the 2007 period, sales growth was partially offset by decreased sales to certain multi-unit accounts as a result of our planned exit of that business during 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.
Broadline net sales represented 61.0% and 59.6% of our net sales in the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively. Broadline net sales represented 60.4% and 59.4% of our net sales in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively. The increase as a percentage of our net sales was primarily due to the increase in sales and the impact of inflation, as noted above.
Customized.In the 2007 quarter, Customized net sales increased $26.1 million, or 4.5%, to $610.8 million, compared to $584.6 million in the 2006 quarter. In the 2007 period, Customized net sales increased $39.2 million, or 3.3%, to $1.2 billion. The increase in the 2007 quarter and period was due to continued growth with existing customers. We estimated that food price inflation of approximately 1.2% contributed to our sales growth in the 2007 quarter. Inflation was nominal in the 2007 period. Customized net sales represented 39.0% and 40.4% of our net sales in the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively. Customized net sales represented 39.6% and 40.6% of our net sales in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively. The decrease in the 2007 quarter and period was due to the increase in Broadline sales, as discussed above.
We have recently added approximately $250 million in annualized new business in our Customized segment. We anticipate the rollout of this business to occur primarily in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Cost of goods sold
Consolidated.In the 2007 quarter, cost of goods sold increased $103.3 million, or 8.2%, to $1.4 billion. In the 2007 period, cost of goods sold increased $155.4 million, or 6.1%, to $2.7 billion. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales, or the cost of goods sold ratio, was 86.8% in the 2007 quarter and 87.0% in the 2007 period, compared to 86.7% in the 2006 quarter and 87.0% in the 2006 period. The increase in the cost of goods sold ratio in the 2007 quarter was primarily the result of inflation in our Broadline segment, partially offset by increased distribution revenue in our Customized segment.
Broadline. Our Broadline segment’s cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales in the 2007 quarter and period increased compared to the 2006 quarter and period due to inflation and product mix changes, partially offset by improvements made related to our procurement initiatives. While inflation negatively impacted our percentage margin for the quarter and period, our gross profit dollars were not as impacted by the significant inflation in dairy,
15
meat and poultry categories. This is due in large part to the customary pricing of multi-unit and center-of-the-plate product categories, both of which are generally priced on a fee per case or pound basis versus a percentage mark-up on cost.
Customized. Our Customized segment’s cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales in the 2007 quarter and period decreased compared to the 2006 quarter and period primarily due to increased distribution revenue.
Gross profit
In the 2007 quarter, gross profit increased $13.3 million, or 6.9%, to $206.5 million, compared to $193.2 million in the 2006 quarter. In the 2007 period, gross profit increased $21.5 million, or 5.6%, to $401.9 million, compared to $380.5 million in the 2006 period. Gross profit margin was 13.2% in the 2007 quarter and 13.0% in the 2007 period, compared to 13.3% in the 2006 quarter and 13.0% in the 2006 period. The decline in our gross profit margin in the 2007 quarter is primarily due to inflation; however, as noted above, even though inflation caused our gross profit margin to decline, our gross profit dollars were not impacted as much by inflation as our gross profit margin.
Operating expenses
Consolidated.In the 2007 quarter, operating expenses increased $11.8 million, or 6.9%, to $183.5 million, compared to $171.7 million in the 2006 quarter. In the 2007 period, operating expenses increased $17.8 million, or 5.1%, to $366.0 million, compared to $348.2 million in the 2006 period. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was 11.7% in the 2007 quarter and 11.8% in the 2007 period, compared to 11.9% in both the 2006 quarter and period. While our operating expenses increased in the 2007 quarter and period, primarily due to increased personnel and insurance costs in our Broadline and Customized segments, our operating expense ratio declined in the 2007 quarter and period as a result of higher sales and improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by increased stock compensation costs.
Broadline. Our Broadline segment’s operating expenses increased in the 2007 quarter and period from the 2006 quarter and period primarily due to increased personnel and insurance costs; however, the operating expense ratio declined in the 2007 quarter and period due to increased sales and improved operating efficiencies, primarily as a result of increased warehouse and transportation productivity.
Customized. Our Customized segment’s operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the 2007 quarter and period from the 2006 quarter and period primarily due to increased personnel and insurance costs.
Corporate. Our Corporate segment’s operating expenses increased in the 2007 quarter and period compared to the 2006 quarter and period primarily as a result of increased stock compensation expense.

Consolidated.In the 2007 quarter, operating profit increased $1.5 million, or 7.0%, to $23.0 million, compared to $21.5 million in the 2006 quarter. In the 2007 period, operating profit increased $3.6 million, or 11.3%, to $35.9 million, compared to $32.3 million in the 2006 period. Operating profit margin, defined as operating profit as a percentage of net sales, was 1.5% in the 2007 quarter and 1.2% in the 2007 period, compared to 1.5% in the 2006 quarter and 1.1% in the 2006 period. Consolidated operating profit in the 2007 quarter and period was positively impacted by improved operating efficiencies, the continued growth of higher margin street sales and procurement initiatives in our Broadline segment, partially offset by increased insurance costs in our Broadline and Customized segments and stock compensation in our Corporate segment.

Broadline. Our Broadline segment’s operating profit margin was 2.4% in the 2007 quarter and 1.8% in the 2007 period, compared to 2.4% in the 2006 quarter and 1.8% in the 2006 period. Operating profit margin in the 2007 quarter and period was positively impacted by procurement initiatives and improved operating efficiencies, offset by the impacts of inflation, primarily in the dairy, meat and poultry product categories.
Customized. Our Customized segment’s operating profit margin was 1.4% in both the 2007 quarter and period, compared to 1.3% in both the 2006 quarter and period. Operating profit margin in the 2007 quarter and period was positively impacted by increased distribution fees, partially offset by unfavorable trends in insurance costs and increased personnel costs.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net, was $1.5 million in the 2007 quarter and $3.1 million in the 2007 period, compared to $1.8 million in the 2006 quarter and $3.2 million in the 2006 period. Included in other expense, net, was interest expense of $0.5 million and $0.4 million in the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, and $1.1 million and $0.7 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively. The increase from the 2006 quarter and period was due to interest expense associated with a capital lease. Also included in other expense, net, was interest income of $0.9 million and $0.4 million in the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, and $1.7 million and $0.9 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively. The increase from the 2006 quarter and period was due to an increase in our cash balance available for investment. Other expense, net, also included losses on the sale of the undivided interest in receivables of $1.9 million in both the 2007 and 2006 quarters and $3.7 million and $3.5 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively. The increase from the 2006 period was due to higher interest rates on our receivables facility. The receivables facility is discussed below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $8.4 million in the 2007 quarter and $12.9 million in the 2007 period, compared to $7.6 million in the 2006 quarter and $11.2 million in the 2006 period. As a percentage of earnings before income taxes, the provision for income taxes was 39.2% in both the 2007 quarter and period, compared to 38.4% in the 2006 quarter and 38.6% in the 2006 period. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to the reduction of federal tax credits generated. We expect our effective tax rate for continuing operations to be approximately 39% for the 2007 full year, excluding potential recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits, which may occur as statutes of limitations expire. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Earnings from continuing operations
In the 2007 quarter, earnings from continuing operations increased $0.9 million, or 7.5%, to $13.1 million, compared to $12.2 million in the 2006 quarter and increased $2.1 million, or 11.8%, to $20.0 million in the 2007 period, compared to $17.8 million in the 2006 period. Earnings as a percentage of net sales were 0.8% in both the 2007 and 2006 quarter and 0.6% in both the 2007 and 2006 period.
Diluted net earnings per common share
Diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations, or EPS, is computed by dividing earnings from continuing operations available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. In the 2007 quarter, diluted EPS from continuing operations increased $0.02 to $0.37 from $0.35 in the 2006 quarter. In the 2007 period, diluted EPS from continuing operations increased $0.06 to $0.57 from $0.51 in the 2006 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations and growth primarily with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, the issuance of long-term debt, the sale of undivided interests in receivables sold under the Receivables Facility, operating leases, normal trade credit terms and the sale of our common stock. We have reduced our working capital needs by financing our inventory principally with accounts payable and outstanding checks in excess of deposits. We typically fund our acquisitions, and expect to fund future acquisitions, with our existing cash, additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the issuance of debt or equity securities.
17
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $115.5 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $40.4 million from December 30, 2006. The increase was due to cash provided by operating activities of $48.7 million and cash provided by financing activities of $0.9 million, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $5.9 million. Cash flows from discontinued operations used $3.3 million, consisting primarily of changes in discontinued assets and liabilities. Operating, investing and financing activities of our continuing operations are discussed below.
Operating activities of continuing operations
In the 2007 period, we generated cash from operating activities of $48.7 million, compared to $59.6 million in the 2006 period. In the 2007 period, net income plus depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense, in addition to an increase in accounts payable and a decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in inventories and other assets and a decrease in accrued expenses, were the main factors contributing to the cash provided by operating activities. In the 2006 period, net income plus depreciation and amortization, in addition to an increase in accrued expenses and income taxes and a decrease in accounts receivable and inventories, partially offset by an increase in our prepaid expenses and other current assets and a decrease in accounts payable, were the main factors contributing to the cash provided by operating activities.
Investing activities of continuing operations
During the 2007 period, we used $5.9 million in investing activities, compared to using $25.2 million in the 2006 period. Investing activities include the acquisition of businesses and additions to and disposals of property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures were $21.8 million in the 2007 period and $25.5 million in the 2006 period. In the 2007 period, capital expenditures totaled $16.3 million in our Broadline segment and $5.4 million in our Customized segment. During the 2007 period, we completed a substitution of collateral and sale-leaseback transaction involving one of our Broadline operating facilities and one of our former fresh-cut segment operating facilities, resulting in proceeds of approximately $15.7 million.
We continue to invest in information technology. As part of this initiative, we are implementing certain applications of an SAP software package, which we expect to be completed in 2008. We have specifically chosen the SAP financial and rebate income tracking applications, which will enable us to continue our initiative to centralize certain of our transactional accounting processes and will improve the overall efficiency of our financial reporting process. These applications will also help support our category management initiatives. We expect to make capital expenditures of approximately $13.5 million related to this SAP implementation throughout the remainder of 2007, which is included in our anticipated capital expenditure range for 2007 of $70 to $75 million.
Financing activities of continuing operations
During the 2007 period, we generated $0.9 million from financing activities, compared to using $41.4 million in the 2006 period. The change from the 2006 period was primarily due to our share repurchase program that was completed in the 2006 period (see Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details of our share repurchase and retirement program).
Checks in excess of deposits decreased by $3.9 million in the 2007 period and decreased by $7.2 million in the 2006 period. Checks in excess of deposits represent checks that we have written that are not yet cashed by the payee and in total exceed the current available cash balance at the respective bank. The decrease in checks in excess of deposits in the 2007 period was related to timing of cash payments. Our associates who exercised stock options and purchased our stock under the Stock Purchase Plan provided $5.6 million of proceeds in the 2007 period, compared to $5.0 million of proceeds in the 2006 period.
Our $400 million senior revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) expires in 2010 and bears interest at a floating rate equal to, at our election, the agent bank’s prime rate or a spread over LIBOR. This rate varies based upon our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. The Credit Facility has an annual commitment fee, ranging from 0.125% to 0.225% of the average daily unused portion of the total facility, based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. The Credit Facility also requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the credit agreement, and contains customary events of default. The Credit Facility allows for the
18
issuance of up to $100.0 million of standby letters of credit, which reduce borrowings available under the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2007, we had no borrowings outstanding, $48.1 million of letters of credit outstanding and $351.9 million available under the Credit Facility, subject to compliance with customary borrowing conditions.
We believe that our cash flows from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and the sale of undivided interests in receivables under the Receivables Facility, discussed below, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. However, we will likely require additional sources of financing to the extent that we make acquisitions.
Stock Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in fiscal 2007 and 2006 includes: 1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted through December 31, 2005, but for which the requisite service period had not been completed as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and 2) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.
The total share-based compensation cost recognized in operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings was $1.9 million and $1.5 million in the 2007 and 2006 quarters, respectively, and $3.3 million and $2.3 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, which represents the expense associated with our stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan. The income tax benefit recognized upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock awards in excess of the tax benefit related to the compensation cost incurred was $2.6 million and $1.5 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively. At June 30, 2007, there was $5.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights and $11.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares of restricted stock, which will be recognized over the remaining vesting periods.
Off Balance Sheet Activities
At June 30, 2007, securitized accounts receivable under our Receivables Facility, which expires on June 23, 2008, totaled $240.4 million, including $130.0 million sold to the financial institution and derecognized from our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Total securitized accounts receivable include our residual interest in the accounts receivable, referred to as the Residual Interest, of $110.4 million. The Residual Interest represents our retained interest in the receivables held by PFG Receivables Corporation. We measure the Residual Interest using the estimated discounted cash flows of the underlying accounts receivable, based on estimated collections and a discount rate approximately equivalent to our incremental borrowing rate. The loss on sale of undivided interest in receivables of $1.9 million in both the 2007 and 2006 quarters, and $3.7 million and $3.5 million in the 2007 and 2006 periods, respectively, was included in other expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings and represents our cost of securitizing those receivables with the financial institution. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our Receivables Facility. In addition, our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a discussion of why our Receivables Facility is considered off balance sheet financing and describes other activities, which may be defined as off balance sheet financing.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. In preparing our financial statements, management must often make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting periods. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex; consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates we use to prepare our financial statements. Management’s estimates are generally based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that we determine to be reasonable in light of the relevant facts and circumstances. We believe that our critical accounting estimates include goodwill and other intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for claims under
19
self-insurance programs, reserves for inventories, vendor rebates and other promotional incentives and income taxes. Our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K describes these critical accounting policies.
Our financial statements contain other items that require estimation, but are not as critical as those discussed above. These include our calculations for bonus accruals, depreciation and amortization. Changes in estimates and assumptions used in these and other items could have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of FIN 48
We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), effective December 31, 2006. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, we recorded a charge of approximately $0.5 million to our beginning retained earnings balance. As of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $5.6 million, of which $2.3 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate for continuing operations. For additional information regarding the adoption of FIN 48, see Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement will apply when other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. We will adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and are still assessing the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We will adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and are still assessing the impact SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements, which are based on assumptions and estimates and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of the words “anticipate,” “will,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “ seek,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “would,” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, our anticipated earnings, capital expenditures, contributions to our net sales by acquired companies, sales momentum, customer and product sales mix, expected efficiencies in our business and our ability to realize expected synergies from acquisitions. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, all as detailed from time to time in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materializes, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirely by the cautionary statements in this section and in our other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.
Our primary market risks are related to fluctuations in interest rates and changes in commodity prices. Our primary interest rate risk is from changing interest rates related to our outstanding debt. We manage this risk through a combination of fixed and floating rates on these obligations. As of June 30, 2007, our total debt of $9.6 million, including capital lease obligations of $9.0 million, consisted entirely of fixed rate debt. In addition, our Receivables Facility has a floating rate based upon a 30-day commercial paper rate and our revolving credit facility, which we currently have no outstanding borrowings on, is based on LIBOR. A 100 basis-point increase in market interest rates on all of our floating-rate debt and our Receivables Facility would result in a decrease in net earnings and cash flows of approximately $0.8 million per annum, holding other variables constant.
Significant commodity price fluctuations for certain commodities that we purchase could have a material impact on our results of operations. In an attempt to manage our commodity price risk, our Broadline segment enters into contracts to purchase pre-established quantities of products in the normal course of business. Commitments that we have entered into to purchase products in our Broadline segment as of December 30, 2006, are included in the table of contractual obligations in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financing Activities” in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In November 2003, certain of the former shareholders of PFG — Empire Seafood, a wholly owned subsidiary which we acquired in 2001, brought a lawsuit against us in the Circuit Court, Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Dade County, seeking unspecified damages and alleging breach of their employment and earnout agreements. Additionally, they seek to have their non-compete agreements declared invalid. We are vigorously defending ourselves and have asserted counterclaims against the former shareholders. Management currently believes that this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings and litigation currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.
