Performance Food Group Company to Participate in Investor Meetings; Reaffirms Fiscal 2023 Outlook

Performance Food Group Company (PFG) (NYSE: PFGC) management will participate in investor meetings over the next two weeks. Ahead of those meetings, PFG is reaffirming the financial outlook disclosed in its 4Q22 earnings report.

Fiscal 2023 Outlook

For the fiscal first quarter of 2023, PFG continues to expect net sales to be in a range of $14.2 billion to $14.5 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $280 million to $300 million.

For the fiscal second quarter of 2023, PFG continues to expect net sales to be in a range of $13.5 billion to $13.8 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $245 million to $265 million.

For the full fiscal year 2023, PFG continues to expect net sales to be in a range of $56 billion to $58 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $1.15 billion to $1.25 billion.

PFG’s Adjusted EBITDA outlook excludes the impact of certain income and expense items that management believes are not part of underlying operations. These items may include, but are not limited to, loss on early extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges, certain tax items, and charges associated with non-recurring professional and legal fees associated with acquisitions. PFG’s management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these income and expense items on its reported net income, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. As a result, PFG does not provide a reconciliation to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for its Adjusted EBITDA outlook. Please see the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of this release for a discussion of certain risks to PFG’s outlook.
