RICHMOND, Va. – November 4, 2026 – Performance Food Group Company (“PFG” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PFGC) today announced its first-quarter fiscal 2027 business results.

“We started fiscal 2027 with solid momentum, delivering strong first-quarter sales and profit growth,” said Scott McPherson, PFG’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Continued market share gains across our businesses drove strong case volume and revenue performance in the quarter. Our team’s execution on several key efficiency initiatives improved our profitability, driving gross margin expansion and double-digit Adjusted EBITDA and EPS growth in the quarter. We recognize the macroeconomic environment remains challenging, but I am confident in our ability to continue gaining market share, execute our strategic priorities and deliver strong results through the remainder of fiscal 2027.”

First-Quarter Fiscal 2027 Financial Summary

Total case volume increased 4.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the prior year period. Total organic case volume increased 2.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the prior year period, benefiting from a 5.5% increase in organic independent Foodservice cases, including growth in Performance Brands cases. Total independent Foodservice case volume increased 7.8%.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 grew 5.5% compared to the prior year period to $18.0 billion primarily driven by an increase in organic cases sold, incremental sales from recent acquisitions, and an increase in selling price per case as a result of inflation. Overall product cost inflation for the Company was approximately 3.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

(1) This earnings release includes several metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow, that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Please see “Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this release for the definitions of such non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 grew 8.5% compared to the prior year period to $2.2 billion primarily driven by vendor rebates and promotional incentives, a favorable shift in the mix of cases sold, including growth in the independent channel which generates higher gross profit due to additional services provided, as well as recent acquisitions.

Operating expenses rose 6.9% to $1.9 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the prior year period primarily driven by recent acquisitions, an increase in personnel expenses related to salaries, wages, commissions and benefits, and an increase in fuel expenses (excluding the impact of fuel surcharges in net sales) primarily due to higher fuel prices and miles driven as a result of new business, partially offset by realized gains related to fuel hedges. The increase in operating expenses was partially offset by decreases in professional fees and insurance expense primarily related to auto insurance and workers’ compensation.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 increased $35.9 million year-over-year to $129.5 million primarily driven by an increase in gross profit and decrease in interest expense, partially offset by increases in operating expenses and income tax expense. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was 25.2% compared to 23.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The effective tax rate differed from the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in deductible discrete items related to stock-based compensation and a decrease in federal tax credits net of valuation allowance established, partly offset by a decrease in non-deductible compensation and other non-deductible expenses and a decrease in foreign taxes as a percentage of income.
