Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about future results of operations, growth opportunities, operational improvements, strategies and other statements which are not purely historical facts or that necessarily depend upon future events. These statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “target,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecast,” “mission,” “strive,” “more,” “goal,” or similar expressions (although not all forward-looking statements may contain such words). These statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including, among others:

• Changes in consumer eating habits, including economic factors affecting consumer confidence and discretionary spending and impact of advancements in pharmaceutical therapies, which may reduce the consumption of food prepared away from home;
• cost inflation/deflation and commodity volatility, including increases in fuel costs;
• geopolitical developments and supply chain disruptions;
• competition;
• reliance on third-party suppliers and interruption of product supply or increases in product costs;
• changes in our relationships with customers and group purchasing organizations;
• our ability to increase or maintain the highest margin portions of our business and achieve the expected benefits from cost savings initiatives;
• the impact of climate change or related regulatory or market measures;
• the impact of governmental regulations related to our operations, including product safety;
• product recalls and product liability claims;
• our reputation in the industry;
• labor relations, increased labor costs and continued access to qualified labor;
• the level of interest rates and availability of indebtedness and restrictions under agreements governing our indebtedness;
• disruption of existing technologies and implementation of new technologies, including artificial intelligence;
• cybersecurity incidents and other technology disruptions;
• effective execution on the Company’s growth strategy, including acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses;
• risks to the health and safety of our associates and others;
• adverse judgments or settlements resulting from litigation;
• extreme weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events; and
• the timing and scope of future repurchases by US Foods of its common stock.
More information on these risks and other potential factors that could affect the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price set forth in Item 1A of Part I, “Risk Factors,” and Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 filed February 12, 2026, as may be updated in the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on information available to us on the date hereof. For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by law, the Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement.

US FOODS HOLDING CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Amounts in tables in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

1.     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 year 2026 is scheduled to be a 53-week fiscal year and 2025 was a 52-week fiscal year.
The consolidated unaudited 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 (the “2025 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.
2.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“Subtopic 326”) “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. This update provides a practical expedient for all entities to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The standard updates will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2025-05 at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and applied them prospectively. The provisions of this new guidance do not materially affect our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—“Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
5



In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (“Subtopic 350-40”) “Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”, which amends the accounting guidance on the timing of capitalization of internally-developed software costs by removing references to software development stages, and provides guidance on how to determine when it is probable that a project will be completed and a software will be used to perform the function intended. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard updates may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3.    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 March 28, 2026 or December 27, 2025. Customer receivables, which are included in accounts receivable, less allowances, in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $2.2 billion and $2.0 billion as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, 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 $70 million and $63 million included in prepaid expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, respectively, and $83 million and $74 million included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, respectively.
The following table presents the disaggregation of revenue for each of the Company’s principal product categories:

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions

Jake’s Finer Foods Acquisition—On January 10, 2025, the Company acquired Jake’s Finer Foods, a broadline distributor in Texas, for a purchase price of $92 million subject to holdbacks and adjustments (less the amount of cash received). The acquisition was funded with cash on hand and allows US Foods to further expand its reach into key markets in south Texas. The Jake’s Finer Foods acquisition, reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of acquisition, did not materially affect the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company recorded goodwill of $4 million and intangible assets of $5 million for this acquisition. The goodwill recognized from the Jake’s Finer Foods acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Jake’s Finer Foods is integrated into the Company’s foodservice distribution network.

6





Divestitures

Freshway Divestiture—During the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Freshway business for net proceeds of approximately $38 million. The Freshway business processes, repacks, and distributes fresh fruit and vegetables in the eastern half of the U.S. The Company recognized an immaterial loss included within distribution, selling and administrative costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The sale of the Freshway business did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and, therefore, did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.
5.    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 $650 million and $613 million as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, respectively. As a result of changes in LIFO reserves, cost of goods increased $38 million and $5 million for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.
6.    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 March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, property and equipment-net included accumulated depreciation of $3,467 million and $3,406 million, respectively. Depreciation expense was $105 million and $98 million for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.
7.    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, noncompete agreements, 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, noncompete agreements and amortizable trade names are intangible assets with definite lives, and are carried at the acquired fair value less accumulated amortization. Customer relationships, noncompete agreements, and amortizable trade names are amortized over their estimated useful lives (which range from 3 to 15 years). Amortization expense was $14 million for both the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.

The Company assesses for impairment of intangible assets with definite lives only if events occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, or more frequently if events occur that indicate an asset may be impaired. For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company’s policy is to assess for impairment as of the beginning of each fiscal third quarter. No impairments were recognized for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.
8.    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.
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
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. In April 2023, the Company entered into two, two-year interest rate cap agreements, which matured on April 30, 2025, with a total notional amount of $450 million. On April 10, 2025, the Company entered into a one-year interest rate cap agreement, which matured on April 30, 2026, with a total notional amount of $450 million (“2025 April interest rate cap”). In June 2025, the Company entered into another one-year interest rate cap agreement, effective April 30, 2026, which will mature on April 30, 2027, with a notional amount of $450 million (“2025 June interest rate cap”). The 2025 April interest rate cap and the 2025 June interest rate cap hedges effectively cap the interest rate on approximately 34% of the current principal amount of the Term Loan Facilities. The Company’s maximum exposure to
8



the variable component of the interest rate on the Term Loan Facilities will be 5% on the notional amount covered by the 2025 April interest rate cap and the 2025 June interest rate cap. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2 assets. As of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s derivative assets was immaterial for both periods.
The Company records its interest rate caps within other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, based on projections of cash flows and future interest rates. The determination of fair value includes the consideration of any credit valuation adjustments necessary, giving consideration to the creditworthiness of the respective counterparties or the Company, as appropriate.
The effective portion of gains and losses on the interest rate caps are initially recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax to interest expense within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects income. There was no ineffectiveness attributable to the Company’s interest rate caps during the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates an immaterial amount will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to income.
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 $5.2 billion as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025, compared to its carrying value of $5.2 billion as of March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025.
The fair value of the Company’s senior notes is based upon their quoted market prices on the respective dates and are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of all of the Company’s individual senior note issuances approximates carrying value. The fair value of the balance of the Company’s debt is primarily classified under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with fair value estimated based upon a combination of the cash outflows expected under these debt facilities, interest rates that are currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms, and estimates of the Company’s overall credit risk.

ABL Facility
The Company’s asset based senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) provides the Company with loan commitments having a maximum aggregate principal amount of $2,300 million. The ABL Facility is scheduled to mature on December 7, 2027.

The Company had outstanding borrowings totaling $388 million, and had outstanding letters of credit totaling $315 million, under the ABL Facility as of March 28, 2026. The outstanding letters of credit primarily relate to securing USF’s obligations with respect to certain real estate leases. There was available capacity of $1,597 million under the ABL Facility as of March 28, 2026.
Term Loan Facilities
The Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2016 (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), provides the Company with an incremental senior secured term loan borrowed in October 2024 (the “2024 Incremental Term Loan Facility”), an incremental senior secured term loan borrowed in November 2021 (the “2021 Incremental Term Loan Facility”) and the right to request additional incremental senior secured term loan commitments.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s periodic election, Term SOFR or ABR, as described in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, plus the following margin:

USF’s maximum exposure to the variable component of the interest rate on the Term Loan Facilities is 5% on the notional amount covered by the interest rate caps described above. Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement may be voluntarily prepaid without penalty or premium, other than customary breakage costs related to prepayments of SOFR-based borrowings. The Term Loan Credit Agreement may require mandatory repayments if certain assets are sold.
Senior Notes
Each of the Company’s outstanding senior notes are redeemable, at USF’s option, in whole or in part, at a price multiplied by the remaining principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the applicable redemption date. The senior notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that provide guarantees under the Company’s senior secured term loan credit facilities.
As of March 28, 2026, the Term Loan Facility, ABL Facility and certain variable rate finance leases, which were approximately 34% of the Company’s total debt, bore interest at a floating rate.
Debt Covenants
The agreements governing our indebtedness contain customary covenants. These include, among other things, covenants that may restrict our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, pay dividends, or engage in mergers or consolidations. The Company had approximately $2.9 billion of restricted payment capacity under these covenants, and approximately $1.4 billion of its net assets were restricted after taking into consideration the net deferred tax assets and intercompany balances that eliminate in consolidation as of March 28, 2026.
10.    RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company sponsors various retirement plans for eligible employees, and provides certain postretirement health and welfare benefits to eligible retirees and their dependents.
Certain employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) plan. The Company made employer matching contributions to the 401(k) plan of $23 million and $22 million for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.
The Company is also required to contribute to various multiemployer pension plans under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover certain of its union-represented employees. The Company’s contributions to these plans were $17 million and $16 million for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.
The Company does not expect to make any material contributions to its defined benefit pension plan in fiscal year 2026.

11.    STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes EPS in accordance 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 applied 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. For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, share-based awards representing 2 million underlying common shares were not included in the computation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2025, there were less than 1 million anti-dilutive shares excluded from the dilutive share-based calculation.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

Share Repurchase Programs and Accelerated Share Repurchase
On May 7, 2025, the Board of Directors approved, and on May 8, 2025, the Company publicly announced, a share repurchase program (the “May 2025 Share Repurchase Program”) under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of its outstanding common stock. On November 24, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC to repurchase an aggregate of $250 million of the Company’s common stock under the May 2025 Share Repurchase Program. Additionally, on November 24, 2025, the Board of Directors approved, and the Company publicly announced, a new share repurchase program (the “November 2025 Share Repurchase Program”) under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of its outstanding common stock. In the fourth quarter of 2025, under the ASR Agreement, the Company funded $250 million and received a $200 million initial delivery of approximately 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock based on a volume weighted average price of $77.41 per share, inclusive of the 1% excise tax. The ASR Agreement concluded in the first fiscal quarter of 2026 and 530,300 additional shares were delivered. In total, under the ASR Agreement, the Company paid $250 million to repurchase approximately 3.1 million shares of US Foods common stock at a volume-weighted average price of $80.42 per share, inclusive of the 1% excise tax.
As of December 27, 2025, there were approximately $90 million in remaining funds authorized under the May 2025 Share Repurchase Program and $1 billion in remaining funds authorized under the November 2025 Share Repurchase Program.
As of March 28, 2026, there were approximately $14 million in remaining funds authorized under the May 2025 Share Repurchase Program and $1 billion in remaining funds authorized under the November 2025 Share Repurchase Program.
For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $125 million under the May 2025 Share Repurchase Program ($50 million of which was funded in the fourth quarter of 2025 pursuant to the ASR Agreement, as described above), inclusive of fees, commissions, and any related excise tax.

The size and timing of any future repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, general business and market conditions as well as other factors. Under each of the May 2025 Share Repurchase Program and the November 2025 Share Repurchase Program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The May 2025 Share Repurchase Program and the November 2025 Share Repurchase Program do not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of shares, and the repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. The repurchase authorizations do not have expiration dates.
12.    CHANGES IN ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
As of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the accumulated other comprehensive income balance included $47 million and $42 million, respectively, of amounts related to retirement obligations.
As of both March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate caps net of tax included within accumulated other comprehensive income is $1 million.
Given the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income components noted above, the change in accumulated other comprehensive income between comparative periods March 29, 2025 and March 28, 2026 is immaterial.
Included in the retirement benefit obligations balance for both March 28, 2026 and December 27, 2025 is $43 million of tax effects, $44 million of which represents tax effects on items within accumulated other comprehensive income related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and the presence of a valuation allowance in certain historical periods. The Company expects the tax effects to remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the Company’s retirement plan ceases to exist.
13.    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 March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, and then recognized the impact of discrete tax items for purposes of determining its year-to-date tax provision.
For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 18% 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 expense of $4 million related to an unrecognized tax benefit due to tax positions taken in prior years and a tax benefit of $15 million, primarily related to excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation.
For the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2025, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 22% 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 $6 million, primarily related to excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation.
14. 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 $865 million of purchase orders and purchase contract commitments as of March 28, 2026 to be purchased in the remainder of fiscal year 2026 and $105 million of information technology commitments through 2028 that are not recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company has entered into various minimum volume purchase agreements at various pricing terms. Minimum amounts committed to as of March 28, 2026 totaled approximately $868 million. Minimum amounts committed to by year are as follows:

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 $27 million through December 2026, as of March 28, 2026. Additionally, the Company had electricity forward purchase commitments totaling $2 million through July 2027, as of March 28, 2026. 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.
Surety Bonds—As of March 28, 2026, the Company had approximately $377 million of surety bonds that were not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The surety bonds are primarily used as security against certain insurance program contractual commitments in the normal course of business.
15.    BUSINESS INFORMATION
Single Operating Segment Reporting
The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company markets, sells, and distributes fresh, frozen and dry food and non-food products to foodservice customers throughout the U.S. The Company uses a centralized management structure, and its strategies and initiatives are implemented and executed consistently across the organization. The Company uses shared resources for sales, procurement, and general and administrative activities across each of its distribution facilities and operations. The Company’s distribution facilities form a single network to reach its customers; it is common for a single customer to make purchases from several different distribution facilities. Capital projects, whether for cost savings or generating incremental revenue, are evaluated based on estimated economic returns to the organization as a whole.
The Company’s consolidated results represent the results of its one operating segment based on how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), views the business for purposes of evaluating performance and making operating decisions.
The CODM utilizes the U.S. GAAP measurement of consolidated net income to assess financial performance and allocate resources. This financial metric is used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as allocation of budget between net sales, cost of goods sold, distribution costs and selling and administrative costs. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as total consolidated assets. In addition, the measure of capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The following table presents selected financial information with respect to the Company’s single operating segment for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollar amounts in tables presented in millions, unless otherwise noted)
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the 2025 Annual Report. The following discussion and analysis contain certain financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and liquidity. Information regarding reconciliations of and the rationale for these measures is discussed under “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below. Results of operations for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 are compared to the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2025, unless specifically noted otherwise.
Overview
At US Foods, we strive to inspire and empower chefs and foodservice operators to bring great food experiences to consumers. This mission is supported by our strategy of WE HELP YOU MAKE IT®. Our Promise brings three key elements to the forefront for our customers; (1) more quality products, like our large and diverse portfolio of Exclusive Brands that is based on consistency, freshness and innovation, (2) more tools, centering on our MOXē® business platform, and lastly, (3) more deliveries, with options for on-time deliveries enabled by our traditional broadline services and our flexible and convenient Pronto® program. We operate as one business with standardized business processes, shared systems infrastructure, and an organizational model that optimizes national scale with local execution, allowing us to manage our business as a single operating segment. We have centralized activities where scale matters and our local field structure focuses on customer-facing activities.
We supply approximately 250,000 customer locations nationwide. These customer locations include independent restaurants, chain restaurants, healthcare, hospitality, government and education customers. We provide fresh, frozen, and dry food products, as well as non-food items, sourced from thousands of suppliers. Over 4,000 sales associates manage customer relationships at local, regional, and national levels. Our sales associates are supported by sophisticated marketing and category management capabilities, as well as world-class chefs, business development managers and others that help us to provide more comprehensive service to our customers. Our relationship with our customers is further strengthened by our industry-leading MOXē® digital platform that makes it easy for our customers to manage their orders and inventories, while also providing valuable support for their business. Our extensive network of over 70 distribution facilities and fleet of over 6,500 trucks, along with over 90 cash and carry locations, allow us to operate efficiently and provide high levels of customer service. This operating model allows us to leverage our nationwide scale and footprint while executing locally.
Operating Metrics
Case growth—Case growth, by customer type (e.g., independent restaurants) is reported as of a point in time. Customers periodically are reclassified, based on changes in size or other characteristics, and when those changes occur, the respective customer’s historical volume is included within the new classification.
Organic growth—Organic growth includes growth from operating businesses that have been reflected in our results of operations for at least 12 months.
Highlights
For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, compared to the same period a year ago, total case volume increased 1.4%, driven by a 4.6% increase in independent restaurant case volume, a 3.7% increase in healthcare volume and a 5.0% increase in hospitality volume, partially offset by a 2.3% decrease in chain volume.
For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, compared to the same period a year ago, total organic case volume increased 1.1%, which includes 4.4% organic independent restaurant case volume growth for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026.
Net sales increased $259 million, or 2.8%, for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, driven by case volume growth and food cost inflation of 1.0% for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026.
Gross profit increased $39 million, or 2.4%, to $1,653 million for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026. For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, the increase was primarily a result of an increase in total case volume and improved cost of goods sold, partially offset by an unfavorable year-over-year LIFO adjustment. Gross profit was negatively impacted by LIFO expense of $38 million for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026. Gross profit was negatively impacted by LIFO expense of $5 million for the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2025. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 17.2% and 17.3% for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, and March 29, 2025, respectively.
Total operating expenses increased $47 million, or 3.4%, to $1,437 million for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026. For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, the increase was primarily a result of an increase in total case volume and higher distribution, selling and administrative costs, partially offset by continued distribution productivity improvement as well as actions to streamline administrative processes and costs. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 15.0% and 14.9% for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.

(1)    EBITDA is defined as net income, plus interest expense—net, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for: (1) restructuring activity and asset impairment charges; (2) share-based compensation expense; (3) the impact of LIFO reserve adjustments; (4) loss on extinguishment of debt; (5) business transformation costs; and (6) other gains, losses, or costs as specified in the agreements governing our indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by total net sales. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income excluding the items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA listed above and further adjusted for the tax effect of the exclusions and discrete tax items. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income as presented are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are not measurements of our performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. For additional information, see the discussion under the caption “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below.
(2)    Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows provided by operating activities and proceeds from sales of property and equipment less cash capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow as presented is a supplemental measure of our liquidity that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. It is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows provided by operating activities or any other liquidity measures derived in accordance with GAAP. For additional information, see the discussion under the caption “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” below.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
We provide EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow as supplemental measures to GAAP financial measures regarding our operating performance and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures, as defined above, exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance.
We believe that Adjusted Net Income is a useful measure of operating performance for both management and investors because it excludes items that are not reflective of our core operating performance and provides an additional view of our operating performance including depreciation, interest expense and income taxes on a consistent basis from period to period. We believe that Adjusted Net Income may be used by investors, analysts and other interested parties to facilitate period-over-period comparisons and provides additional clarity as to how factors and trends impact our operating performance.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (1) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance as well as our performance relative to our competitors as they assist in highlighting trends, (2) to set internal sales targets and spending budgets, (3) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting, (4) to assess financial discipline over operational expenditures, and (5) as an important factor in determining variable compensation for management and employees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used in connection with certain covenants and activity restrictions under the agreements governing our indebtedness. We also believe these and similar non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income are not measurements of our performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
We use Free Cash Flow as a supplemental measure to GAAP financial measures regarding the liquidity of our operations. We measure Free Cash Flow as cash flows provided by operating activities and proceeds from sales of property and equipment less cash capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a useful financial metric to assess our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows provided by operating activities or any other liquidity measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
We caution readers that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Free Cash Flow may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies. Not all companies and analysts calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income or Free Cash Flow in the same manner. We compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by presenting the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.

(5)    Includes: (i) aggregate acquisition, integration related costs and divestiture costs of $1 million and $13 million for the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively; and (ii) other gains, losses or costs that we are permitted to addback for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA under certain agreements governing our indebtedness.
(6)    Represents our income tax provision adjusted for the tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted Net Income and the removal of applicable discrete tax items. Applicable discrete tax items include changes in tax laws or rates, changes related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits, discrete changes in valuation allowances, and excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation. The tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted Net Income is computed using a statutory tax rate after taking into account the impact of permanent differences and valuation allowances.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $259 million or 2.8%, to $9,610 million in 2026, driven by case volume growth and food cost inflation of 1.0%. Total case volume increased 1.4% driven by a 4.6% increase in independent restaurant case volume, a 3.7% increase in healthcare volume and a 5.0% increase in hospitality volume, partially offset by a 2.3% decrease in chain volume. Total organic case volume increased 1.1% and organic independent restaurant case volume increased 4.4%. Organic broadline cases of private brands represented approximately 34% of total cases in 2026 and 2025.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $39 million, or 2.4%, to $1,653 million in 2026, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume and improved cost of goods sold, partially offset by a $33 million unfavorable year-over-year LIFO adjustment. Our LIFO method of inventory costing resulted in an expense of $38 million in 2026 compared to $5 million expense in 2025, driven by inflation and an increase in inventory values in multiple categories. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 17.2% in 2026, compared to 17.3% in 2025.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, comprised of distribution, selling and administrative costs, increased $47 million, or 3.4%, to $1,437 million in 2026. Operating expenses increased primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume and higher distribution, selling and administrative costs, partially offset by continued distribution productivity improvement as well as actions to streamline administrative processes and costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 15.0% in 2026, compared to 14.9% in 2025.
Operating Income
Our operating income was $216 million in 2026, compared to operating income of $224 million in 2025. The decrease in operating income was due to the factors discussed in the relevant sections above.
Other Income—Net
Other income—net includes components of net periodic pension benefit credits, exclusive of the service cost component associated with our defined benefit and other postretirement plans. We recognized other income—net of $1 million in 2026 and $1 million in 2025.
Interest Expense—Net
Interest expense—net decreased $2 million to $75 million in 2026 primarily due to lower borrowings under the ABL Facility revolver and lower interest rates for our variable rate debt.

Income Taxes

For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 18% 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 expense of $4 million related to an increase in an unrecognized tax benefit due to tax positions taken in prior years and a tax benefit of $15 million, primarily related to excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation. For the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2025, the Company’s effective income tax rate of 22% 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 $6 million, primarily related to excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation.
Net Income
Our net income was $116 million in 2026, compared to a net income of $115 million in 2025. The improvement in net income was due to the relevant factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our ongoing operations and strategic objectives require working capital and continuing capital investment. Our primary sources of liquidity include cash provided by operations, as well as access to capital from bank borrowings and other types of debt and financing arrangements. As of March 28, 2026, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion in cash and available liquidity.

As economic conditions permit, we will consider opportunities to repurchase, refinance or otherwise reduce our debt obligations on favorable terms. Any potential debt reduction or refinancing could require significant use of our available liquidity and capital resources.
The agreements governing our indebtedness contain customary covenants. These include, among other things, covenants that may restrict our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on our assets, pay dividends, or engage in mergers or consolidations. The Company had approximately $2.9 billion of restricted payment capacity under these covenants and approximately $1.4 billion of its net assets were restricted after taking into consideration the net deferred tax assets and intercompany balances that eliminate in consolidation as of March 28, 2026.
We believe that the combination of cash generated from operations, together with borrowing capacity under the agreements governing our indebtedness and other financing arrangements, will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs, and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.

Every quarter, we review rating agency changes for all of the lenders that have a continuing obligation to provide us with funding. We are not aware of any facts that indicate our lenders will not be able to comply with the contractual terms of their agreements with us. We continue to monitor the credit markets generally and the strength of our lender counterparties.
From time to time, we may repurchase or otherwise retire our debt and take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our leverage. These actions may include open market repurchases, negotiated repurchases, and other retirements of outstanding debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired, if any, will depend on market conditions, our debt trading levels, our cash position, and other considerations. Any potential debt reduction or other debt retirement could require significant use of our other available liquidity and capital resources.
See Note 9, Debt, in our consolidated financial statements, for a further description of our indebtedness.

Retirement Plans
See Note 10, Retirement Plans, in our consolidated financial statements for a description of our retirement plans.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had $315 million of letters of credit outstanding primarily securing the Company’s obligations with respect to certain real estate leases, under the ABL Facility as of March 28, 2026.
We held approximately $377 million of surety bonds, as of March 28, 2026 and $362 million as of December 27, 2025, primarily in favor of certain commercial insurers to secure obligations with respect to our insurance programs. In certain cases, surety bonds may be used as an alternative to letters of credit.
Except as disclosed above, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that currently have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have prepared the financial information in this Quarterly Report in accordance with GAAP. Preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires us 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 revenues and expenses during these reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Part II, Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2025 Annual Report includes a summary of the critical accounting policies we believe are the most important to aid in understanding our financial results. There have been no changes to those critical accounting policies that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, or expenses during the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2026.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, in our consolidated financial statements.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and overall economic conditions. Our market risks include interest rate risk and fuel price risk. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Our debt exposes us to risk of fluctuations in interest rates. Floating rate debt, where the interest rate fluctuates periodically, exposes us to short-term changes in market interest rates. Fixed rate debt, where the interest rate is fixed over the life of the instrument, exposes us to changes in market interest rates reflected in the fair value of the debt and to the risk that we may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at higher rates. We manage our debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating rates and may employ interest rate hedges as a tool to achieve that position. We may, in the future, enter into additional interest rate hedges, the risks of which include changes in the interest rates affecting the fair value of such instruments, potential increases in interest expense due to market increases in floating interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties.
In April 2023, the Company entered into two, two-year rate cap agreements, which matured on April 30, 2025 with a total notional amount of $450 million. In April 2025, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with a total notional amount of $450 million that matured on April 30, 2026. In June 2025, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement effective April 30, 2026 with a total notional amount of $450 million that will mature on April 30, 2027.
21



Through April 30, 2027, the Company has interest rate caps in place that cap the Company’s maximum exposure to the variable component of the interest rate on $450 million of the Term Loan Facilities at 5%, thereby effectively capping the interest rate on approximately 34% of the current outstanding balance of the Term Loan Facilities.
As of March 28, 2026, the Term Loan Facility, ABL Facility and certain variable rate finance leases, which were approximately 34% of the Company’s total debt, bore interest at a floating rate. A hypothetical 1% change in the applicable rate would cause the interest expense on our floating rate debt to change by approximately $19 million per year (see Note 9, Debt, in our consolidated financial statements).
Fuel Price Risk
We are also exposed to risk due to fluctuations in the price and availability of diesel fuel. We require significant quantities of diesel fuel for our vehicle fleet, and the price and supply of diesel fuel are unpredictable and fluctuate based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil and gas, regional production patterns, weather conditions and environmental concerns. Increases in the cost of diesel fuel can negatively affect consumer confidence and discretionary spending and increase the prices we pay for products, and the costs we incur to deliver products to our customers.
Fuel costs related to outbound deliveries approximated $174 million during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025. Our activities to minimize fuel cost risk include route optimization, improving fleet utilization, growing our fleet of electric vehicles and assessing fuel surcharges. We also enter into forward purchase commitments for a portion of our projected diesel fuel requirements. As of March 28, 2026, we had diesel fuel forward purchase commitments totaling $27 million, which lock approximately 32% of our projected diesel fuel needs through December 2026. Using current published market price projections for diesel and estimated fuel consumption needs, a hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in diesel prices from the market price could result in approximately $12 million in additional fuel cost on uncommitted volumes through December 2026.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that this information is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of 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 Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 28, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
