36. Impact of Certain Items
3
6
The discussion of our results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, that we
believe provide important perspective with respect to underlying business trends. Other than EBITDA and free cash flow, any non-GAAP
financial measures will be denoted as adjusted measures to remove (1) restructuring charges; (2) expenses associated with our various
transformation initiatives; (3) severance charges; and (4) acquisition-related costs consisting of: (a) intangible amortization expense and (b)
acquisition costs and due diligence costs related to our acquisitions. Our results for fiscal 2023 were also impacted by adjustments to a
product return allowance pertaining to COVID-related personal protection equipment inventory, a pension settlement charge that resulted
from the purchase of a nonparticipating single premium group annuity contract that transferred defined benefit plan obligations to an
insurer, and a litigation financing agreement. Our results for fiscal 2022 were also impacted by a write-down of COVID-related personal
protection equipment inventory due to the reduction in the net realizable value of inventory, losses on the extinguishment of long-term debt
and an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions. Our results for fiscal 2021 were also impacted by losses on the sale of businesses.
Management believes that adjusting its results to remove these Certain Items provides an important perspective with respect to
our underlying business trends and results and provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that (1) is
indicative of the performance of the company’s underlying operations and (2) facilitates comparisons on a year-over-year basis.
Sysco has a history of growth through acquisitions and excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures the impact of acquisition-
related intangible amortization, acquisition costs and due-diligence costs for those acquisitions. We believe this approach significantly
enhances the comparability of Sysco’s results for fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022, and fiscal 2021.

40. Projected Adjusted EPS Guidance

Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure; however, we cannot predict with certainty certain items that
would be included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the relevant future periods. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot
provide a quantitative reconciliation of projected adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable
effort. However, we expect to calculate adjusted earnings per share for future periods in the same manner as we have historically.

EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) plus (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense and benefit, (iii) depreciation and (iv)
amortization. The net earnings (loss) component of our EBITDA calculation is impacted by Certain Items that we do not consider
representative of our underlying performance. As a result, in the non-GAAP reconciliations below for each period presented, adjusted EBITDA
is computed as EBITDA plus the impact of Certain Items, excluding certain items related to interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Sysco's management considers growth in this metric to be a measure of overall financial performance that provides useful
information to management and investors about the profitability of the business, as it facilitates comparison of performance on a consistent
basis from period to period by providing a measurement of recurring factors and trends affecting our business. Additionally, it is a commonly
used component metric used to inform on capital structure decisions. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for the most
comparable GAAP financial measure in assessing the company’s financial performance for the periods presented. An analysis of any non-
GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. In the table that follows, adjusted
EBITDA for each period presented is reconciled to net earnings.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided from operating activities less purchases of plant and equipment and includes proceeds from
sales of plant and equipment. Sysco considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors
about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases and sales of buildings, fleet, equipment and technology, which may
potentially be used to pay for, among other things, strategic uses of cash including dividend payments, share repurchases and acquisitions. However,
free cash flow may not be available for discretionary expenditures, as it may be necessary that we use it to make mandatory debt service or other
payments. Free cash flow should not be used as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure in assessing the company’s liquidity
for the periods presented. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with
GAAP. In the table that follows, free cash flow for each period presented is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities.
