The total carrying value of our debt was $13.5 billion as of June 27, 2026 and $13.3 billion as of June 28, 2025. The increase in the carrying value of our debt from the prior year was due to the issuance of the Notes (as defined below), partially offset by a senior note that matured in October 2025 and repayments of borrowings issued under our European commercial paper program. In July 2026, Sysco repaid $1.0 billion of matured senior notes that were classified within current maturities of long-term debt as of June 27, 2026.

Sysco is expected to finance the cash portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of JRD with a combination of new senior unsecured notes, hybrid debt, cash on hand and equity or equity-linked securities. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, Sysco executed a commitment letter for a $22 billion senior unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility that, to the extent necessary, will be used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price and pay related fees and expenses. Subsequent to the execution of the commitment letter for the bridge loan facility, Sysco entered into a $3 billion senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility, comprised of a $1.25 billion 364-day tranche and a $1.75 billion 2-year tranche, reducing the bridge loan facility commitments from $22 billion to $19 billion. Fees paid upfront for the bridge facility as of August 4, 2026 total $126 million and will be amortized to interest expense within our statement of consolidated results of operations over the expected life of the bridge facility unless it is terminated at an earlier date. This bridge facility added approximately $30 million of interest expense in fiscal 2026 and is expected to add approximately $96 million of interest expense in fiscal 2027.

On April 16, 2026, Sysco entered into a new long-term revolving credit facility, which replaces Sysco’s existing $3.0 billion senior revolving credit facility that was originally entered into on September 5, 2025. The aggregate commitments of the lenders under the new revolving credit agreement are $3.0 billion, and such commitments will increase to $4.0 billion after the acquisition of JRD is complete. The new revolving credit agreement has an option to increase such commitments to $5.0 billion. The new facility includes a covenant requiring Sysco to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0 over four consecutive fiscal quarters, which is consistent with our previous revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility expires on April 16, 2031. As of June 27, 2026, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility.

Sysco has a commercial paper program allowing the company to issue short-term unsecured notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3.0 billion. Any outstanding amounts are classified within long-term debt, as the program is supported by the long-term revolving credit facility noted above. As of June 27, 2026, there were no commercial paper issuances outstanding under this program in the U.S. In December 2025, Sysco entered into an agreement to increase the maximum allowable principal amount of the commercial paper issuances in Europe, with borrowings not to exceed €750 million. As of June 27, 2026, there were no commercial paper issuances outstanding in Europe.

On February 13, 2026, Sysco issued senior notes (the Notes) totaling $1.25 billion. Details of the Notes are as follows:

Maturity DatePar Value
(in millions)
Coupon RatePricing
(percentage of par)
July 25, 2031 (the 2031 Notes)$600 4.40 %99.997 %
March 25, 2036 (the 2036 Notes)650 4.95 99.637 

The Notes initially are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Sysco’s direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries that guarantee Sysco’s other senior notes issued under the indenture governing the Notes or any of Sysco’s other indebtedness. Subsidiaries acquired or created in the future may or may not become guarantors, but any domestic subsidiary that guarantees our other senior notes or our other indebtedness must also guarantee the Notes. Interest on the 2031 Notes will be paid semi-
annually in arrears on January 25 and July 25, beginning on July 25, 2026. Interest on the 2036 Notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on March 25 and September 25, beginning on September 25, 2026. The 2031 Notes will mature on July 25, 2031, and the 2036 Notes will mature on March 25, 2036. At Sysco’s option, any or all of the Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity. If we elect to redeem (i) the 2031 Notes before the date that is one month prior to the maturity date, or (ii) the 2036 Notes before the date that is three months prior to the maturity date, Sysco will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of the applicable series to be redeemed plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption and (2) a “make-whole” amount calculated by reference to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes of the applicable series to be redeemed discounted to the date of redemption. If we elect to redeem a series of Notes on or after the applicable date described in the preceding sentence, Sysco will pay a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.

As of June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, letters of credit outstanding were $293 million and $306 million, respectively.
