The filing also notes ongoing COVID-19 uncertainty, including the November 4, 2021 OSHA vaccine regulations, which management says could disrupt its workforce and operations. Approximately 60% of total debt bears floating interest rates, and a hypothetical 1% rate change would alter annual interest expense on floating-rate debt by approximately $33 million.

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Jul 3, 2021

    For the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2021, US Foods Holding Corp. reported net sales of $7,663 million, up 68.0% from $4,560 million, with total case volume up 53.5% and independent restaurant case volume up 79.1%, as eased COVID-19 restrictions drove demand recovery. Gross profit rose to $1,169 million (15.3% of net sales versus 14.7%), operating income was $124 million versus an operating loss of $59 million a year earlier, and net income was $55 million versus a net loss of $92 million. Adjusted EBITDA reached $332 million (4.3% of net sales) compared with $88 million (1.9%). LIFO expense of $97 million weighed on gross profit, and operating expenses rose on higher supply chain labor and distribution costs. For the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, net sales were $13,958 million (up 28.1%), net income was $31 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was $504 million. Operating cash flow was $250 million, and free cash flow was $143 million, down from $770 million and $639 million, respectively, in the prior-year period, which the company attributed mainly to working capital needs from the sales recovery. Total debt carrying value was $5,515 million as of July 3, 2021, versus $5,748 million at January 2, 2021, after the company issued $900 million of 4.75% Unsecured Senior Notes due 2029 and used the proceeds to redeem higher-cost notes and term loans, incurring a $23 million loss on extinguishment. The company stated it had approximately $2.4 billion in cash and available liquidity as of July 3, 2021.

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Apr 3, 2021

    US Foods Holding Corp. (USFD) reported results for the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2021 in its 10-Q filed May 10, 2021. Net sales were $6,295 million, down slightly from $6,339 million in the prior-year period, with total case volume decreasing 0.9% as COVID-19 continued to weigh on restaurant, hospitality and education customers. Operating income improved to $28 million from an operating loss of $126 million, helped mainly by a $185 million lower provision for doubtful accounts tied to better-than-anticipated collections of pre-COVID receivables. The company still posted a net loss of $24 million, or $(0.18) per share on a net loss available to common shareholders basis of $(39) million after $15 million of preferred dividends. Adjusted EBITDA was $172 million compared with $177 million a year earlier, and the Smart Foodservice acquisition contributed net sales of $261 million in the quarter. Cash generation improved meaningfully. Operating cash flow was $176 million versus a $62 million outflow in the prior year, and free cash flow was $130 million compared with $(141) million. Liquidity was approximately $2.6 billion as of April 3, 2021. During the quarter, USF issued $900 million of 4.75% Unsecured Senior Notes due 2029 and used the proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem its 5.875% Unsecured Senior Notes due 2024 and repay the 2020 Incremental Term Loan Facility, recording a $23 million loss on extinguishment of debt. Total debt was $5,738 million, and approximately 52% of total debt bore floating interest rates after considering interest rate swaps. The company expects total cash capital expenditures of $290 million to $305 million in fiscal 2021 and states that its liquidity should be adequate through the end of fiscal 2022. Management notes that overall demand remains below pre-COVID-19 levels and that the timing of a full recovery remains uncertain.

  18. 2020-Q3

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 26, 2020

    US Foods Holding Corp. reported a sharp decline in results for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2020, as COVID-19 reduced demand from restaurant, hospitality and education customers. Net sales were $5,848 million for the quarter, down $683 million, or 10.5%, from $6,531 million a year earlier, and $16,747 million for the 39 weeks, down $2,258 million, or 11.9%. The company posted a quarterly net loss available to common shareholders of $2 million (net income of $8 million before $10 million of Series A preferred dividends) and a 39-week net loss of $216 million. Operating income fell to $78 million for the quarter and was an operating loss of $107 million for the 39 weeks. Adjusted EBITDA was $209 million for the quarter, down 31.9%, and $474 million for the 39 weeks, down 44.8%. Liquidity was reinforced during 2020 through several financing actions: a $700 million incremental term loan used in part to fund the $973 million Smart Foodservice acquisition, $1.0 billion of 6.25% Secured Notes due 2025, the termination of the ABS Facility, a $390 million increase in ABL Facility commitments to $1,990 million, and a $500 million Series A Convertible Preferred Stock investment from KKR. Cash and cash equivalents rose to $1,019 million at September 26, 2020, from $90 million at December 28, 2019, while total debt carrying value was $5,787 million. Management stated it believes liquidity is sufficient through 2021 even if case volumes decline to April 2020 levels through mid-2021. A rating agency downgraded the company's credit ratings in September 2020. Management expects the pandemic to continue to have a significant adverse impact for the duration of the pandemic and, if recovery is slow, throughout substantial portions of that recovery. Total case volumes decreased 8.9% for the quarter and 11.4% for the 39 weeks, while independent restaurant case volume fell 6.8% and 13.7%, respectively. Investors should weigh the operating losses and reduced volumes against the improved cash position and the company's stated liquidity runway.

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 27, 2020

    US Foods Holding Corp. reported a sharp decline in results for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2020, as COVID-19 reduced restaurant, hospitality and education demand. Net sales fell $1,883 million, or 29.2%, to $4,560 million, and total case volume decreased 28.0%. Gross profit declined to $671 million (14.7% of net sales versus 17.7% a year earlier), and the company recorded an operating loss of $59 million compared with operating income of $194 million in the prior-year quarter. Net loss was $92 million, and Adjusted EBITDA fell to $88 million from $320 million. For the 26 weeks, net sales were $10,899 million and net loss was $224 million. Operating cash flow for the first half rose to $770 million from $394 million, largely from lower working capital needs, and free cash flow was $639 million. The company strengthened its liquidity during the quarter. It acquired Smart Foodservice for $973 million (net of cash acquired), funded partly by a $700 million incremental term loan and a $1.0 billion 6.25% Secured Notes offering due 2025. It repaid and terminated its $542 million ABS Facility, expanded the ABL Facility commitments to $1,990 million, and sold 500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to KKR for $500 million. Total debt was $6,214 million at quarter end, up from $4,736 million at year end, and cash and cash equivalents rose to $1,668 million from $90 million. Management states it believes liquidity is sufficient through 2021 even if case volumes remain at April 2020 levels through mid-2021. A rating agency downgraded the company's credit ratings in May 2020. For investors, the central issues are the depth of the volume decline and the trajectory of case volumes, the adequacy of liquidity under the stated scenario, the higher leverage and the credit rating downgrade, and the potential dilution and governance influence from KKR's preferred stake, which represents approximately 9.5% of common stock on an as-converted basis. Management notes that the duration and severity of the pandemic remain unclear.

  20. 2020-Q1

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 28, 2020

    US Foods Holding Corp.'s first-quarter 2020 10-Q (13 weeks ended March 28, 2020) shows a sharp deterioration tied to COVID-19. Net sales rose $308 million, or 5.1%, to $6,339 million, driven by the Food Group acquisition and inflation, partly offset by COVID-19's effect on case volume. However, the company posted an operating loss of $126 million and a net loss of $132 million (basic and diluted EPS of $(0.60)), compared with operating income of $131 million and net income of $71 million a year earlier. Operating expenses rose 29.4% to $1,192 million, largely due to a $170 million increase in the provision for doubtful accounts tied to COVID-19. Adjusted EBITDA fell $55 million, or 23.7%, to $177 million, and operating cash flow was negative at $(62) million, leaving free cash flow at $(141) million. Management stated that the impact will be much larger in the second quarter, with the first five weeks of the 13-week period ending June 28, 2020 showing approximately 50% decreases in both net sales and total case volumes versus the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents rose to $1,077 million at quarter-end, largely from $1.0 billion of borrowings under the ABS and ABL facilities. Total debt was $5,915 million as of March 28, 2020. The company also disclosed a rating agency downgrade and said it expects sufficient liquidity through 2021, even with volumes flat at current levels through mid-2021. Subsequent events are significant. US Foods agreed to acquire Smart Foodservice for $970 million in cash (closed April 24, 2020), financed with a $700 million term loan and cash on hand. It also issued $1.0 billion of 6.25% senior secured notes due 2025, entered a $500 million Series A Convertible Preferred Stock investment with KKR (expected to close in May 2020), and amended the ABL Facility to increase commitments to $1,990 million from $1,600 million.

  21. 2019-Q3

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 28, 2019

    US Foods Holding Corp. (USFD) reported results for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 28, 2019. Net sales rose 6.1% to $6,531 million for the quarter and 4.8% to $19,005 million for the 39 weeks, driven by organic case volume growth and year-over-year inflation in multiple product categories, including grocery, produce and beef. Independent restaurant case volume grew 6.3% in the quarter. Net income was $106 million for the quarter, down from $114 million a year earlier, and $293 million for the 39 weeks, down from $307 million. Operating income rose 5.0% to $188 million in the quarter, and Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.5% to $307 million. The most significant event in the period was the September 13, 2019 all-cash acquisition of the Food Group from Services Group of America for $1.8 billion, which expands the company's network in the West and Northwest. The purchase was financed with a new $1.5 billion incremental senior secured term loan and revolver borrowings. As a condition of FTC clearance, three Food Group distribution facilities were divested for $94 million at closing on October 11, 2019; those operations are reported as discontinued operations. Total debt rose to $4,924 million at September 28, 2019 from $3,457 million at December 29, 2018, and approximately 65% of debt was floating rate. Cash flow from operations improved to $559 million for the 39 weeks from $444 million, mainly because a $70 million pension contribution in 2018 did not recur. Free cash flow was $402 million versus $276 million a year earlier. The company also refinanced its ABL Facility in May 2019 and its ABS Facility in September 2019, and it reports being in compliance with all debt covenants. Management expects fiscal 2019 capital additions of $345 million to $355 million.

    US Foods Holding Corp. (USFD) reported net sales of $6,443 million for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2019, up $285 million, or 4.6%, from $6,158 million a year earlier, driven by a 1.7% increase in total case volume (independent restaurant case volume up 4.8%) and a 2.9% increase in the net sales rate per case. Operating income fell $12 million, or 5.8%, to $194 million, and net income declined to $116 million from $126 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose $20 million, or 6.7%, to $320 million, with the company citing higher wage and acquisition-related costs and depreciation as pressures on operating expenses, partially offset by expense control initiatives. For the 26 weeks, net sales rose $493 million, or 4.1%, to $12,474 million, while net income was $187 million versus $193 million. On the balance sheet, total debt carrying value was $3,205 million at June 29, 2019, compared with $3,457 million at December 29, 2018. On May 31, 2019, USF refinanced its asset based revolving credit facility into a new $1,700 million facility, of which $1,400 million was effective immediately and $300 million may become effective by November 30, 2019 upon consummation of the contemplated acquisition of Services Group of America's Food Group of Companies (SGA) for $1.8 billion in cash. Cash flow from operations was $394 million for the 26 weeks, compared with $311 million a year earlier, and the company reported $1.1 billion of restricted payment capacity under its covenants. The filing states that management concluded disclosure controls were effective as of June 29, 2019, and that the company was in compliance with all debt covenants. Approximately 47% of total debt was at a floating rate after considering interest rate swaps, and the company stated that a 1% change in the applicable rate would change interest expense on floating-rate debt by approximately $15 million per year.

  23. 2019-Q1

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 30, 2019

    US Foods Holding Corp. reported results for the 13-week fiscal first quarter ended March 30, 2019. Net sales rose $208 million, or 3.6%, to $6,031 million, driven by a 1.4% increase in total case volume (independent restaurant case volume up 5.5%) and a 2.2% increase in the net sales rate per case, which the filing attributes primarily to year-over-year inflation. Gross profit increased $60 million, or 6.0%, to $1,052 million, and gross margin rose to 17.4% of net sales from 17.0%, which the company attributed to margin expansion initiatives, favorable LIFO adjustments and lower inbound freight costs. Operating income increased $28 million, or 27.2%, to $131 million, while net income was $71 million compared with $67 million a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share were $0.32 versus $0.31. Operating expenses rose $32 million, or 3.6%, to $921 million, mainly from higher payroll and related costs and $11 million of acquisition-related costs tied to the pending SGA Food Group acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA increased $8 million, or 3.6%, to $232 million, and free cash flow was $93 million compared with $135 million a year earlier, as operating cash flow fell to $154 million from $192 million, mainly because of working capital benefits in the prior-year period. Total debt was $3,381 million at March 30, 2019, and the company reported $929 million of available ABL Facility capacity and $496 million of available ABS Facility capacity. The company stated it was in compliance with all debt covenants. The company's pending $1.8 billion cash acquisition of the SGA Food Group Companies, signed July 28, 2018, remains subject to customary conditions, including required regulatory approvals, and is supported by a $1.5 billion senior secured term loan commitment. Management said its fiscal 2019 outlook, set forth in the 2018 Annual Report, remains unchanged, and it expects fiscal 2019 capital additions of $335 million to $345 million.

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 29, 2018

    US Foods Holding Corp. reported results for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 29, 2018. Net sales were $6.15 billion for the quarter, down from $6.20 billion a year earlier, and $18.13 billion for the 39 weeks, essentially flat versus $18.15 billion. Case volume declined 0.8% in the quarter and 1.3% for the 39 weeks, reflecting select planned chain customer exits partially offset by independent restaurant growth. Gross profit rose to $1.11 billion in the quarter (18.0% of net sales versus 17.7%) and operating income fell $10 million to $179 million, while net income increased to $114.3 million from $95.6 million, aided by a lower income tax provision. For the 39 weeks, operating income increased $95 million, or 24.3%, to $487 million, and net income rose to $307.1 million from $187.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA reached $806 million for the 39 weeks, up from $768 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $444 million, compared with $506 million in the prior-year period, and free cash flow was $276 million versus $343 million. Total debt was $3.51 billion at quarter end, with about 42% at floating rates, and the company said it was in compliance with its debt covenants. A pending acquisition is a key item for investors: on July 28, 2018, USF agreed to acquire the SGA Food Group Companies for $1.8 billion in cash, subject to regulatory approvals, with a committed $1.5 billion incremental senior secured term loan. The company stated its fiscal 2018 outlook from its 2017 Annual Report remains unchanged, and it expects 2018 total capital additions of $340 million to $350 million.

    Nov 6, 2018
  25. 2018-Q2

    US Foods Holding Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2018

    US Foods Holding Corp. reported net sales of $6.16 billion for the 13-weeks ended June 30, 2018, flat versus the prior year period, and $11.98 billion for the 26-weeks, up $34 million, or 0.3%. Case volume declined 0.9% in the quarter and 1.6% year to date, reflecting select planned chain customer exits, partly offset by independent restaurant growth and acquisitions. Operating income rose to $205 million in the quarter (from $127 million) and net income to $126 million (from $65 million), helped by lower amortization expense, a higher gross profit rate, and LIFO benefits. Adjusted EBITDA was $300 million for the quarter, up $14 million, or approximately 4.9%. On the balance sheet, total debt was $3.60 billion at June 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents were $100 million, and shareholders' equity rose to $3.02 billion. Operating cash flow for the 26 weeks was $311 million, down from $368 million, mainly due to a $35 million incremental pension contribution, income tax payments and working capital changes. Capital expenditures were $117 million year to date, and the company stated its 2018 outlook was unchanged. Subsequent to quarter end, on July 28, 2018, USF agreed to acquire the Food Group Companies of Services Group of America, Inc. for $1.8 billion in cash, subject to regulatory approvals.

    US Foods Holding Corp. (USFD) reported results for the 13-weeks ended March 31, 2018 in this Form 10-Q. Net sales were $5,822.5 million, slightly up from $5,788.4 million in the prior-year period, with case volume declining 2.3% due to planned chain customer exits and lower education volume, partially offset by independent restaurant growth and acquisitions. Gross profit was $991.9 million, essentially flat, and operating income rose to $102.5 million from $75.8 million, primarily because distribution, selling and administrative costs fell $25.7 million, driven by a $27 million reduction in amortization of a customer relationship intangible. Net income was $67.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with $26.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, a year earlier. The company's effective tax rate was (7)%, reflecting a $19 million discrete tax benefit tied to an IRS consent to change a method of accounting. Cash flow from operations was $191.6 million, up from $121.6 million, and free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $135 million versus $52 million. Total debt was $3,630.5 million at March 31, 2018, with approximately 57% at fixed rates after interest rate swaps. The company stated it was in compliance with all debt covenants and that cash flow and available borrowings should be adequate for the next 12 months. Capital expenditures are expected to total $330 million to $340 million in 2018, and management said its fiscal 2018 outlook remains unchanged. The filing also notes that the Sponsors (KKR and CD&R) no longer hold any common stock following the December 2017 secondary offering, and that the company adopted ASC 606 with no significant impact on results.

    US Foods Holding Corp. reported net sales of $6.20 billion for the 13 weeks ended September 30, 2017, up $363 million, or 6.2%, from $5.84 billion a year earlier, with case volume up 2.0%. Operating income rose $75 million, or 65.2%, to $190 million, and net income was $96 million versus $133 million in the prior-year quarter, which benefited from a $78 million income tax benefit. For the 39 weeks, net sales were $18.15 billion (up 5.3%), operating income was $392 million (up 31.5%), and net income was $188 million compared with $133 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $268 million for the quarter ($267 million as reported in the table), rising to $768 million for the 39 weeks; free cash flow was $343 million year-to-date. The balance sheet shows total debt of $3.70 billion at September 30, 2017, down from $3.78 billion at December 31, 2016. Net cash provided by operating activities was $506 million for the 39 weeks, and the company made about $183 million of cash acquisitions across five broadline and specialty distributors. The company also disclosed that the Sponsors (CD&R and KKR) sold 127.4 million shares in follow-on offerings during 2017 and no longer hold a controlling interest. Each Sponsor's stake was reduced to about 9%, and the company received no proceeds from those sales. Management cited inflation-driven net sales rate growth, independent restaurant case growth, and LIFO adjustments as key drivers of margin trends. Gross margin was flat at 17.7% in the quarter but declined to 17.3% for the 39 weeks because of LIFO expense. The company expects a planned lump-sum pension settlement of about $100 million, paid in the fourth quarter, and expects 2017 capital additions of $310 million to $320 million.

    US Foods Holding Corp. (USFD) reported results for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 1, 2017 in this Form 10-Q filed August 9, 2017. Net sales rose to $6.16 billion for the quarter, up $352 million or 6.1%, and to $11.95 billion for the 26 weeks, up $547 million or 4.8%. Case volume grew 3.6% in the quarter and 4.0% for the half-year, with independent restaurant case growth of 4.7% and 4.3%, respectively. Net income was $65.5 million for the quarter versus a net loss of $13.4 million a year earlier, and $92.3 million for the 26 weeks versus a break-even result in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA reached $286 million for the quarter and $501 million for the half-year, and the filing notes gross profit margin fell to 17.1% due to LIFO charges from inflation. Balance sheet and liquidity: total debt was $3.73 billion at July 1, 2017, with $2.79 billion of floating-rate debt before swaps. The company reported $150 million of cash and $922 million of available ABL Facility capacity. Operating cash flow was $368 million for the 26 weeks, and free cash flow was $260 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, the company entered into interest rate swaps on $1.1 billion of its term loan and acquired The Thompson Company, Braunger Foods and Variety Foods, with aggregate annual sales of approximately $130 million. The company also disclosed plans to restructure or refinance its 2012 ABS Facility, which matures September 30, 2018, on or before September 30, 2017. Sponsor overhang remains a factor: CD&R and KKR had reduced their common stock interest to approximately 18% after follow-on offerings in January and May 2017, which generated no proceeds for the company. Management stated it has no current plans to pay future dividends.
