1 This earnings release includes several metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA margin, that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

“Our second quarter results reflect consistent execution of our key initiatives, supported by strong operating performance,” added Dirk Locascio, CFO. “We expanded margins again this quarter through a combination of volume growth, gross profit gains and cost productivity improvements.

We remain confident in our ability to deliver sustained earnings growth and create long-term shareholder value.”
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Results
Total case volume increased 1.9% from the prior year driven by a 5.1% increase in independent restaurant case volume, a 3.5% increase in healthcare volume and a 4.4% increase in hospitality volume, partially offset by a 1.5% decrease in chain volume. Total organic case volume increased 1.7%, which includes 5.0% organic independent restaurant case volume growth. Net sales of $10.5 billion for the quarter increased 4.5% from the prior year, driven by case volume growth and food cost inflation of 2.3%.
Gross profit of $1.9 billion increased by $142 million, or 8.0%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume, improved cost of goods sold, and a $19 million favorable year-over-year LIFO adjustment. Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 18.2%. Adjusted Gross profit was $1.9 billion, an increase of $123 million, or 6.9% from the prior year. Adjusted Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 18.2%.
Operating expenses of $1.5 billion increased by $71 million, or 5.1%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume and higher distribution, selling and administrative costs, partially offset by actions to streamline administrative processes and costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of Net sales were 14.0%. Adjusted Operating expenses were $1.3 billion, an increase of $68 million, or 5.5% from the prior year. Adjusted Operating expenses as a percentage of Net sales were 12.5%.
Net income of $275 million, increased by $51 million, or 22.8%, from the prior year. Net income margin was 2.6%, an increase of 39 basis points compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $604 million, increased by $56 million, or 10.2%, from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.7%, an increase of 29 basis points compared to the prior year. Diluted EPS was $1.24; Adjusted Diluted EPS was $1.44.
Cash Flow and Debt
Cash flow provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 and 2025 was $725 million. Higher net income in the current period was offset by favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities in the prior comparative period. Cash capital expenditures for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 totaled $174 million, an increase of $13 million from the prior year, related to investments in information technology, property and equipment and construction of and improvements to distribution facilities.
Net Debt at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $5.2 billion. The ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 2.6x at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to 2.7x at the end of fiscal year 2025.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company repurchased 4.4 million shares of common stock for $374 million and for the first six months of fiscal year 2026 repurchased 5.8 million shares of common stock for approximately $500 million, inclusive of fees, commissions, and any related excise tax. The Company had $640 million in remaining funds authorized under the November 2025 share repurchase program.
Outlook for Fiscal Year 20262
The Company is reaffirming its Fiscal Year 2026 guidance provided on February 12, 2026 of:
•Net Sales growth of 4% to 6%
•Adjusted EBITDA growth of 9% to 13%

2 The Company is not providing a reconciliation of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of certain significant items, including restructuring activity and asset impairment charges, share-based compensation expenses, non-cash impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, losses on extinguishments of debt, business transformation costs, other gains and losses, business acquisition and integration related costs and divestiture costs and diluted earnings per share. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance periods. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, forecasted financial performance, statements about future results of operations and other statements which are not purely historical facts or that necessarily depend upon future events, including those under the heading “Outlook for Fiscal Year 2026.” 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 the 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 of the Company’s growth strategy, including our ability to identify suitable acquisition targets, consummate on favorable terms and successfully integrate 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.

All forward-looking statements included in this press release 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.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net Debt, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures regarding our operational performance and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We use Adjusted Gross profit and Adjusted Operating expenses as supplemental measures to GAAP measures to focus on period-over-period changes in our business and believe this information is helpful to investors. Adjusted Gross profit is Gross profit adjusted to remove the impact of the LIFO inventory reserve adjustments. Adjusted Operating expenses are Operating expenses adjusted to exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance.
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. EBITDA is Net income (loss), plus Interest expense-net, Income tax provision (benefit), and Depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for (1) Restructuring activity and asset impairment charges; (2) Share-based compensation expense; (3) the non-cash 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.
We use Net Debt as a supplemental measure to GAAP measures to review the liquidity of our operations. Net Debt is defined as total debt net of total Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash remaining on the balance sheet as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. We believe that Net Debt is a useful financial metric to assess our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments. Net Debt is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Cash Flows Provided by Operations or Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities.
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. Adjusted Net income is Net income (loss) excluding such items as restructuring activity and asset impairment charges, Share-based compensation expense, the non-cash impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, amortization expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, Business transformation costs and other items, and adjusted for the tax effect of the exclusions and discrete tax items. 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.
We use Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, which is calculated by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Diluted Earnings per Share, by excluding the same items excluded in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to the extent that each such item was included in the applicable GAAP financial measure. We believe the presentation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to investors because the measurement excludes amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. We also believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to investors because these metrics may be used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in our industry.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance as well as our performance relative to our competitors as they assist in highlighting trends, (b) to set internal sales targets and spending budgets, (c) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting, (d) to assess financial discipline over operational expenditures, and (e) 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 restricted activities 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.
We caution readers that our definitions of Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net Debt, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Diluted EPS may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures used by other companies. Definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the schedules attached to this press release.
