1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the company, without audit, with
the exception of the July 2, 2011 consolidated balance sheet which was taken from the audited
financial statements included in the companys Fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
financial statements include consolidated balance sheets, consolidated results of operations,
consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for all
periods presented have been made.
Prior year amounts within the consolidated results of operations have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation as it relates to the classification of certain items in
cost of sales and operating expenses within these statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto included in the companys Fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As discussed
in footnote 12, Syscos management changed the way it evaluates the performance of its operating
segment results beginning in fiscal 2012. As a result, fiscal 2011 information within Note 12,
Note 13 and Note 14 has been revised to show the new basis of operating segment results. As a
result of the new segment performance basis of reporting and the change in income statement
presentation noted above, Sysco intends to revise applicable sections of Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data included in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
July 2, 2011. These revised sections will be filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K on the same day
this Form 10-Q is filed.
A review of the financial information herein has been made by Ernst & Young LLP, independent
auditors, in accordance with established professional standards and procedures for such a review.
A report from Ernst & Young LLP concerning their review is included as Exhibit 15.1 to this Form
10-Q.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Testing Goodwill for Impairment
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for
Impairment. This update amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350,
IntangiblesGoodwill and Other to allow entities an option to first assess qualitative factors
to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.
Under that option, an entity no longer would be required to calculate the fair value of a
reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more
likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this
update are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Sysco is currently evaluating the
impact this update may have on its goodwill impairment testing.
Disclosures About an Employers Participation in a Multiemployer Plan
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2011-09, Disclosures about an
Employers Participation in a Multiemployer Plan. This update amends ASC 715-80,
CompensationRetirement BenefitsMultiemployer Plans to require additional disclosures about an
employers participation in a multiemployer pension plan including additional information about the
plans, the level of an employers participation in the plans and the financial health of
significant plans. This update does not change the accounting for multiemployer pension plans. The
amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011. Sysco is
currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its annual disclosures.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. an
exit price). The accounting guidance includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
are as follows:
|
|
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term
of the asset or liability; and |
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which include managements own
assumption about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability, including assumptions about risk. |
Syscos policy is to invest in only high-quality investments. Cash equivalents primarily
include time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high-quality money market funds
and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted
cash consists of investments in high-quality money market funds.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities
measured at fair value.
|
|
Time deposits, certificates of deposit and commercial paper included in cash equivalents
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These are included within cash
equivalents as a Level 2 measurement in the tables below. |
|
|
|
Money market funds are valued at the closing price reported by the fund sponsor from an
actively traded exchange. These are included within cash equivalents and restricted cash as
Level 1 measurements in the tables below. |
|
|
|
The interest rate swap agreements, discussed further in Note 4, Derivative Financial
Instruments, are valued using a swap valuation model that utilizes an income approach using
observable market inputs including interest rates, LIBOR swap rates and credit default swap
rates. These are included as a Level 2 measurement in the tables below. |
The following tables present the companys assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis as of October 1, 2011, July 2, 2011 and October 2, 2010:

The carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their respective
fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of Syscos total
debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issue or on the current
rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value of total
debt approximated $3,015.6 million, $2,919.4 million and $2,853.9 million as of October 1, 2011,
July 2, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively. The carrying value of total debt was $2,596.7
million, $2,668.5 million and $2,494.5 million as of October 1, 2011, July 2, 2011 and October 2,
2010, respectively.
4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Sysco manages its debt portfolio to achieve an overall desired position of fixed and floating
rates and may employ interest rate swaps from time to time to achieve this position. The company
does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
In fiscal 2010, the company entered into two interest rate swap agreements that effectively
converted $250.0 million of fixed rate debt maturing in fiscal 2013 and $200.0 million of fixed
rate debt maturing in fiscal 2014 to floating rate debt. These transactions were entered into with
the goal of reducing overall borrowing cost and increasing floating interest rate exposure. These
transactions were designated as fair value hedges since the swaps hedge against the changes in fair
value of fixed rate debt resulting from changes in interest rates.
The location and the fair value of derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheet as
of October 1, 2011, July 2, 2011 and October 2, 2010 are as follows:

Hedge ineffectiveness represents the difference between the changes in the fair value of the
derivative instruments and the changes in fair value of the fixed rate debt attributable to changes
in the benchmark interest rate. Hedge ineffectiveness is recorded directly in earnings within
interest expense and was immaterial for the 13-week periods ended October 1, 2011 and October 2,
2010. The interest rate swaps do not contain credit-risk-related contingent features.
5. DEBT
As of October 1, 2011, Sysco had uncommitted bank lines of credit which provided for unsecured
borrowings for working capital of up to $95.0 million, of which $5.4 million was outstanding.
On June 30, 2011, a Canadian subsidiary of Sysco entered into a short-term demand loan
facility for the purpose of facilitating a distribution from the Canadian subsidiary to Sysco, and
Sysco concurrently entered into an agreement with the bank to guarantee the loan. As of July 2,
2011, the amount outstanding under the facility was $182.0 million. The interest rate under the
facility was 2.0% and payable on the due date. The loan was repaid in full on July 4, 2011.
Sysco and one of its subsidiaries, Sysco International, ULC, have a revolving credit facility
supporting the companys U.S. and Canadian commercial paper programs. The facility in the amount
of $1,000.0 million expires on November 4, 2012, but is subject to extension.
As of October 1, 2011, commercial paper issuances outstanding were $108.0 million and were
classified as long-term debt since the companys commercial paper programs are supported by the
long-term revolving credit facility described above. During the 13-week period ended October 1,
2011, aggregate commercial paper issuances and short-term bank borrowings ranged from zero to
approximately $401.8 million.

Syscos contributions to its company-sponsored defined benefit plans were $5.7 million and
$5.0 million during the 13-week periods ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, respectively.
The company made contributions of $140.0 million to its company-sponsored qualified pension
plan (Retirement Plan) in fiscal 2011 that would normally have been made in fiscal 2012. Additional
contributions to the Retirement Plan are not currently anticipated in fiscal 2012; however,
management will evaluate the funding position at the end of fiscal 2012 and select the timing for a
contribution at that time. The companys contributions to the Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan (SERP) and other post-retirement plans are made in the amounts needed to fund current year
benefit payments. The estimated fiscal 2012 contributions to fund benefit payments for the SERP and
other post-retirement plans are $23.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.
8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Sysco provides compensation benefits to employees and non-employee directors under several
share-based payment arrangements including various employee stock incentive plans, the Employees
Stock Purchase Plan, and various non-employee director plans.
Stock Incentive Plans
There were no share-based award grants to employees or non-employee directors during the first
quarter of fiscal 2012.
Employees Stock Purchase Plan
Plan participants purchased 377,730 shares of Sysco common stock under the Sysco Employees
Stock Purchase Plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
The weighted average fair value per share of employee stock purchase rights issued pursuant to
the Employees Stock Purchase Plan was $4.68 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The fair
value of the stock purchase rights is estimated as the difference between the stock price and the
employee purchase price.
All Share-Based Payment Arrangements
The total share-based compensation cost that has been recognized in results of operations was
$9.8 million and $10.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively.
As of October 1, 2011, there was $52.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.50 years.

9. INCOME TAXES
Internal Revenue Service Settlement
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Sysco reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) in connection with its audits of the companys 2003 through 2006 federal income tax
returns. As a result of the settlement, Sysco agreed to cease paying U.S. federal taxes related
to its affiliate Baugh Supply Chain Cooperative (BSCC) on a deferred basis and pay the amounts that
were recorded within deferred taxes related to BSCC over a three-year period as follows:

|

|
|

|
As noted in the table above, payments related to the settlement were $212.0 million in fiscal
2011, none of which had been paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Amounts to be paid in
fiscal 2012 will occur in connection with Syscos quarterly tax payments, two of which fall in the
second quarter, one in the third quarter and one in the fourth quarter. The company believes it has
access to sufficient cash on hand, cash flow from operations and current access to capital to make
payments on all of the amounts noted above.
Syscos deferred taxes were impacted by the timing of these installment payments. Sysco
reclassified amounts due within one year from deferred taxes to accrued income taxes at the
beginning of each year in which settlement payments were to be made.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of October 1, 2011, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $72.9 million and the
gross amount of accrued interest liabilities was $34.5 million. It is reasonably possible that the
amount of the unrecognized tax benefits with respect to certain of the companys unrecognized tax
positions will increase or decrease in the next twelve months either because Sysco prevails on
positions that were being challenged upon audit or because the company agrees to their
disallowance. Items that may cause changes to unrecognized tax benefits primarily include the
consideration of various filing requirements in numerous states and the allocation of income and
expense between tax jurisdictions. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably
possible change cannot be made.
Effective Tax Rates
The effective tax rate of 36.90% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was favorably impacted
by a decrease in a tax provision for a foreign tax liability of approximately $3.6 million
resulting from changes in exchange rates. Lower foreign statutory tax rates also had the impact of
reducing the effective tax rate.
The effective tax rate of 37.28% for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was favorably impacted
by the adjustment of the carrying values of the companys corporate-owned life insurance policies
to their cash surrender values. The gain of $13.5 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal
2011 was non-taxable for income tax purposes, and had the impact of decreasing income tax expense
for the period by $5.2 million.
Other
The determination of the companys provision for income taxes requires significant judgment,
the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The companys
provision for income taxes reflects a combination of income earned and taxed in the various U.S.
federal and state, as well as foreign, jurisdictions. Jurisdictional tax law changes, increases or
decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, accruals or adjustments of accruals
for tax contingencies or
valuation allowances, and the companys change in the mix of earnings from these taxing
jurisdictions all affect the overall effective tax rate.

10. ACQUISITIONS
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, in the aggregate, the company paid cash of $36.1
million for acquisitions made during fiscal 2012. Acquisitions in the first quarter of fiscal 2012
were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
Certain acquisitions involve contingent consideration typically payable over periods up to
five years only in the event that certain operating results are attained or certain outstanding
contingencies are resolved. As of October 1, 2011, aggregate contingent consideration amounts
outstanding relating to acquisitions was $64.5 million, of which $46.0 million could result in the
recording of additional goodwill.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Sysco is engaged in various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully
adjudicated. Management does not believe these proceedings will have a material adverse effect
upon the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the company. However, the
final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if the company failed to
prevail in one or more of these legal matters, the companys consolidated financial position or
results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
Sysco contributes to several multiemployer defined benefit pension plans based on obligations
arising under collective bargaining agreements covering union-represented employees. Sysco does
not directly manage these multiemployer plans, which are generally managed by boards of trustees,
half of whom are appointed by the unions and the other half by other employers contributing to the
plan. Based upon the information available from plan administrators, management believes that
several of these multiemployer plans are underfunded. In addition, pension-related legislation
requires underfunded pension plans to improve their funding ratios within prescribed intervals
based on the level of their underfunding. As a result, Sysco expects its contributions to these
plans to increase in the future.
Under current law regarding multiemployer defined benefit plans, a plans termination, Syscos
voluntary withdrawal, or the mass withdrawal of all contributing employers from any underfunded
multiemployer defined benefit plan would require Sysco to make payments to the plan for Syscos
proportionate share of the multiemployer plans unfunded vested liabilities. Generally, Sysco does
not have the greatest share of liability among the participants in any of the plans in which it
participates. Based on the information available from plan administrators, which has valuation
dates ranging from January 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, Sysco estimates its share of withdrawal
liability on most of the multiemployer plans in which it participates could have been as much as
$210.0 million as of October 1, 2011, based on a voluntary withdrawal. This estimate excludes
plans for which Sysco has recorded withdrawal liabilities. The majority of the plans Sysco
participates in have a valuation date of calendar year-end. As such, the majority of the estimated
withdrawal liability results from plans for which the valuation date was December 31, 2009;
therefore, the companys estimated liability reflects the condition of the financial markets as of
that date. Due to the lack of current information, management believes Syscos current share of
the withdrawal liability could materially differ from this estimate. In addition, if a
multiemployer defined benefit plan fails to satisfy certain minimum funding requirements, the IRS
may impose a nondeductible excise tax of 5% on the amount of the accumulated funding deficiency for
those employers contributing to the fund.
As of October 1, 2011, Sysco had approximately $46.9 million in liabilities recorded related
to certain multiemployer defined benefit plans for which Syscos voluntary withdrawal had already
occurred. Recorded withdrawal liabilities are estimated at the time of withdrawal based on the
most recently available valuation and participant data for the respective plans; amounts are
adjusted in the period of payment to reflect any changes to these estimates. If any of these plans
were to undergo a mass withdrawal, as defined by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, within a
two year time frame from the point of our withdrawal, Sysco could have additional liability. The
company does not currently believe any mass withdrawals are probable to occur in the applicable two
year time frame relating to the plans from which Sysco has voluntarily withdrawn.
Fuel Commitments
Sysco routinely enters into forward purchase commitments for a portion of its projected diesel
fuel requirements. As of October 1, 2011, outstanding forward diesel fuel purchase commitments
totaled approximately $91.7 million at a fixed price through September 2012.
11
12. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The company has aggregated its operating companies into a number of segments, of which only
Broadline and SYGMA are reportable segments as defined in the accounting literature related to
disclosures about segments of an enterprise. The Broadline reportable segment is an aggregation of
the companys United States, Canadian and European Broadline segments. Broadline operating
companies distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of non-food products to their
customers. SYGMA operating companies distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of
non-food products to certain chain restaurant customer locations. Other financial information is
attributable to the companys other operating segments, including the companys specialty produce
and lodging industry segments and a company that distributes to international customers. The
accounting policies for the segments are the same as those disclosed by Sysco for its consolidated
financial statements. Intersegment sales represent specialty produce products distributed by the
Broadline and SYGMA operating companies.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, operating segment results no longer include
certain centrally incurred costs for corporate overhead and shared services due to a change in how
management evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments. Previously, these
centrally incurred costs were charged to the segments based upon the relative level of service used
by each operating segment. Management now evaluates the performance of each of our operating
segments based on its respective operating income results, which excludes the allocation of certain
centrally incurred costs. This results in higher operating income at an operating segment level
and higher corporate expenses. Segment reporting for the comparable prior year period has been
revised to conform to the new basis of determining segment operating income without the allocation
of certain centrally incurred costs. Corporate expenses generally include all expenses of the
corporate office and Syscos shared service center. These also include all share-based
compensation costs and expenses related to the companys Business Transformation Project.
In addition, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the companys custom-cut meat
operations were reorganized to function as part of the United States Broadline segment. As a
result, the custom-cut meat operations are included in the Broadline reportable segment in the
segment reporting presented below. Previously, these operations were an independent segment and
were presented with the Other financial information relating to non-reportable segments. Segment
reporting for the comparable prior year period has been revised to conform to the new
classification of the custom-cut meat operations as part of the Broadline reportable segment.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements as of
July 2, 2011, and the fiscal year then ended, and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, both contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended July 2, 2011. As discussed in footnotes 1 and 12 within Part I, Item 1 Financial
Statements, we had a change in income statement presentation and Syscos management changed the way
it evaluates the performance of its operating segment results. As a result, Sysco intends to
recast applicable sections of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in the companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2011. These recast sections will be
filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K on the same day this Form 10-Q is filed.
Our discussion below of our results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we
believe better represent our underlying operating performance. Any non-GAAP financial measure will
be denoted as an adjusted measure and excludes the impact of our Business Transformation Project
and corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) policies. More information on the rationale of
the use of these measures and reconciliations to GAAP numbers can be found in Non-GAAP
Reconciliations.
Overview
Sysco distributes food and related products to restaurants, healthcare and educational
facilities, lodging establishments and other foodservice customers. Our primary operations are
located throughout the United States, Canada and Ireland and include broadline companies (which
include our custom-cut meat operations), specialty produce companies, hotel supply operations,
SYGMA (our chain restaurant distribution subsidiary) and a company that distributes to
international customers.
We consider our primary market to be the foodservice market in the United States and Canada
and estimate that we serve about 17% of this approximately $220 billion annual market. According
to industry sources, the foodservice, or food-away-from-home, market represents approximately 47%
of the total dollars spent on food purchases made at the consumer level in the United States.
General economic conditions and consumer confidence can affect the frequency of purchases and
amounts spent by consumers for food-away-from-home and, in turn, can impact our customers and our
sales. We believe the current general economic conditions, including pressure on consumer
disposable income, have contributed to a decline in the foodservice market. Historically, we have
grown at a faster rate than the overall industry and believe we have continued to grow our market
share in this fragmented industry.
Highlights
An uncertain economic environment in the United States, combined with rising product cost
inflation and softening consumer sentiment, contributed to a challenging business environment in
the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Despite these challenges, we achieved growth in operating income,
net earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Comparisons of results from the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to the first quarter of fiscal
2011:
|
|
Sales increased 8.6% to $10.6 billion primarily due to increased prices due to inflation. |
|
|
|
Operating income increased 0.6%, or $3.1 million, to $509.3 million, primarily driven by
the increase in sales and effective management of our cost structure. Gross profit dollars
increased 5.5%, or $101.5 million, but declined as a percentage of sales primarily due to the
impact of significant inflation in certain product categories. Operating expenses increased
7.3%, or $98.4 million, primarily due to increased pay-related expense, an increase in
expenses related to our Business Transformation Project, an increase in fuel costs and an
unfavorable year-over-year comparison on the amounts recorded to adjust the carrying value of
COLI policies to their cash surrender values. Adjusted operating expenses increased 5.3%, or
$70.1 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted operating income increased
6.1%, or $31.2 million. Overall, our operating income increase was primarily driven by
increasing gross profit dollars more than operating expenses. |
20
|
|
Net earnings increased 1.2% to $302.7 million primarily due to the increase in operating
income and a decrease in the effective tax rate. Adjusted net earnings increased 8.8%. |
|
|
|
Basic and diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $0.51, which
matched last years first quarter results. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.55 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and $0.51 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, or an increase
of 7.8%. |

Trends and Strategy
Trends
General economic conditions and consumer confidence can affect the frequency of purchases
and amounts spent by consumers for food-away-from-home and, in turn, can impact our customers and
our sales. We believe the current general economic conditions, including pressure on consumer
disposable income, have contributed to a slow rate of recovery in the foodservice market.
In addition, we have experienced increasing levels of product cost inflation this quarter
compared to fiscal 2011. While we are generally able to pass on modest levels of inflation to our
customers, we were unable to fully pass through these higher levels of product cost inflation with
the same gross margin without negatively impacting our customers business and therefore our
business. While we cannot predict whether inflation will continue at current levels, periods of
high inflation, either overall or in certain product categories, can have a negative impact on us
and our customers, as high food costs can reduce consumer spending in the food-away-from-home
market, and may negatively impact our sales, gross profit, operating income and earnings.
We have also experienced higher operating costs this fiscal year from increased pay-related
expense due to increased gross profit dollars and case volumes, as well as higher fuel costs. We
believe pay-related expense could continue to increase if gross profit dollars and case volumes
increase, as a portion of these costs is variable in nature. Fuel costs are expected to increase
in fiscal 2012 as a result of anticipated higher fuel prices. Our Business Transformation Project
is a key part of our strategy to control costs and grow our market share over the long-term. We
believe expenses related to the project will increase in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011 as
we prepare for the deployment of the project to our operating companies and increase our headcount
in our shared services center. Pension costs will decrease in fiscal 2012 primarily due to higher
returns on assets of Syscos company-sponsored qualified pension plan (Retirement Plan) obtained in
fiscal 2011.
Strategy
We are focused on optimizing our core broadline business in the U.S. and Canada, while
continuing to explore appropriate opportunities to profitably grow our market share and create
shareholder value through adjacent and international businesses. Day-to-day, our business
decisions are driven by our mission to market and deliver great products to our customers with
exceptional service, with the aspirational vision of becoming each of our customers most valued
and trusted business partner. We have identified five strategies to help us achieve our mission
and vision:
|
|
|
Profoundly enrich the experience of doing business with Sysco |
|
|
|
|
Continuously improve productivity in all areas of our business |
|
|
|
|
Expand our portfolio of products and services by initiating a customer-centric
innovation program |
|
|
|
|
Explore, assess and pursue new businesses and markets, and |
|
|
|
|
Develop and effectively integrate a comprehensive, enterprise-wide talent management
process. |
Business Transformation Project
In fiscal 2011, we began testing our underlying systems and processes of our Business
Transformation Project through a pilot implementation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we
took additional time to improve the underlying information technology systems processes with our
pilot company prior to larger scale deployment. These activities are continuing in fiscal 2012
including a second pilot implementation. Until we reach the point where the underlying system
functions as intended, our deployment timeline is still being determined. Although we expect the investment in the
Business Transformation Project to
21
provide meaningful benefits to the company over the long-term,
the costs will exceed the benefits during the testing and deployment stages of implementation,
including fiscal 2012.
Expenses related to the Business Transformation Project were $37.0 million in first quarter of
fiscal 2012 or $0.04 per share and $21.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 or $0.02 per
share. Provided the improvements expected in the underlying systems are obtained in the first half
of fiscal 2012, we anticipate the software will be ready for its intended use in the second half of
fiscal 2012, which will result in reduced capitalization as compared to fiscal 2011 and increased
expense from both software amortization and deployment costs. We will also incur increased costs
from the ramp up of our shared services center, continuing costs for additional phases of our
Business Transformation Project and information technology support costs. Some of these increased
costs will be partially offset by benefits obtained from the project, primarily in reduced
headcount; however the costs will exceed the benefits in fiscal 2012. We expect our project
expenses related to the Business Transformation Project for fiscal 2012 to be approximately $250
million to $275 million.

Sales
Sales were 8.6% higher in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 than in the comparable period of
the prior year. Product cost inflation, and the resulting increase in selling prices, impacted
sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Changes in product costs, an internal measure of
inflation or deflation, were estimated as inflation of 7.3% during the first quarter of fiscal
2012, as compared to inflation of 3.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Case volumes
improved approximately 2.0% including acquisitions within the last 12 months, or approximately 1.0%
excluding these acquisitions. Sales from acquisitions within the last 12 months favorably impacted
sales by 0.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The exchange rates used to translate our
foreign sales into U.S. dollars positively impacted sales by 0.7% in the first quarter of fiscal
2012 compared to the first quarter fiscal 2011.
Operating Income
Cost of sales primarily includes our product costs, net of vendor consideration, and includes
in-bound freight. Operating expenses include the costs of facilities, product handling, delivery,
selling and general and administrative activities. Fuel surcharges are reflected within sales and
gross profit; fuel costs are reflected within operating expenses.
Operating income increased 0.6%, or $3.1 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from the
first quarter of fiscal 2011 to $509.3 million. This increase in operating income was primarily
driven by increasing gross profit dollars more than operating expenses. Gross profit dollars
increased 5.5%, or $101.5 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from the first quarter of
fiscal 2011, while operating expenses increased 7.3%, or $98.4 million, in the first quarter of
fiscal 2012. Contributing to the increase in operating expenses were increased expenses related to
our Business Transformation Project and reduced gains incurred on our adjustments to the carrying
value of COLI policies to their cash surrender values. Adjusted operating expenses increased 5.3%,
or $70.1 million, from the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted operating income increased 6.1%,
or $31.2 million.
Gross profit dollars increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the first
quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to increased sales. Gross margin, which is gross profit as a
percentage of sales, was 18.40% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decline of 53 basis points
from the gross margin of 18.93% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. This decline in gross margin
was primarily the result of product cost inflation. Syscos product cost inflation was estimated
to be 7.3% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Based on our product sales mix for the first
quarter of fiscal 2012, we were most impacted by higher levels of inflation in the dairy, meat and
canned and dry product categories. While we are generally able to pass through modest levels of
inflation to our customers, we were unable to fully pass through these higher levels of product
cost inflation with the same
23
gross margin in these product categories without negatively impacting
our customers business and therefore our business.
While we cannot predict whether inflation will continue at these levels, prolonged periods of
high inflation, either overall or in certain product categories, can have a negative impact on us
and our customers, as high food costs can reduce consumer spending in the food-away-from-home
market, and may negatively impact our sales, gross profit and earnings.
Gross profit dollars for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 also increased as a result of higher
fuel surcharges. Fuel surcharges were approximately $18.0 million higher in the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 than in the comparable prior year period due to higher fuel prices incurred during the
first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the application of fuel surcharges to a broader customer base in
the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Operating expenses for the first quarter fiscal 2012 were higher than in the comparable prior
year period primarily due to increased pay-related expense, increased expenses related to our
Business Transformation Project, increased fuel costs and an unfavorable year-over-year comparison
on the amounts recorded to adjust the carrying value of COLI policies to their cash surrender
values.
Pay-related expenses, excluding labor costs associated with our Business Transformation
Project, increased by $39.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 over the comparable prior
year period. The increase was primarily due to increased gross profit dollars and case volumes,
which resulted in increased sales compensation. Portions of our pay-related expense are variable
in nature and are expected to increase when gross profit dollars and case volumes increase. Also
contributing to the increase were delivery personnel costs, higher provisions for current year
management incentive bonuses, pay-related expenses from acquired companies and changes in the
exchange rates used to translate our foreign results into U.S. dollars.
Expenses related to our Business Transformation Project, inclusive of pay-related expense,
were $37.0 million in first quarter of fiscal 2012 and $21.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2011, representing an increase of $15.5 million. The increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2012
resulted from increased project spending including the increased pay-related expenses and
facility-related expenses due to the ramp up of our shared services center. Provided the
improvements expected in the underlying systems are obtained in the first half of fiscal 2012, we
anticipate the software will be ready for its intended use in the second half of fiscal 2012, which
will result in increased expense from both software amortization and deployment costs. We will
also incur increased costs from the ramp up of our shared services center, continuing costs for
additional phases of our Business Transformation Project and information technology support costs.
We believe our expenses related to the Business Transformation Project in fiscal 2012 will be
approximately $145 million to $170 million greater than the expense incurred in fiscal 2011.
Syscos fuel costs increased by $14.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 over the
comparable prior year period primarily due to increased contracted and market diesel prices. Our
costs per gallon increased 22.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 over the first quarter of
fiscal 2011. Our activities to mitigate fuel costs include reducing miles driven by our trucks
through improved routing techniques, improving fleet utilization by adjusting idling time and
maximum speeds and using fuel surcharges. We routinely enter into forward purchase commitments for
a portion of our projected monthly diesel fuel requirements with a goal of mitigating a portion of
the volatility in fuel prices.
Our fuel commitments will result in either additional fuel costs or avoided fuel costs based
on the comparison of the prices on the fixed price contracts and market prices for the respective
periods. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the forward purchase commitments resulted in an
estimated $7.7 million of avoided fuel costs as the fixed price contracts were generally lower than
market prices for the contracted volumes. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the forward purchase
commitments resulted in an estimated $1.9 million of avoided fuel costs as the fixed price
contracts were generally lower than market prices for the contracted volumes.
As of October 1, 2011, we had forward diesel fuel commitments totaling approximately $92
million through September 2012. These contracts will lock in the price of approximately 30% to 35%
of our fuel purchase needs for the contracted periods at prices lower than the current market price
for diesel for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and near the current market price for diesel for
the second half of the fiscal year. Assuming that fuel prices do not rise significantly over
recent levels during fiscal 2012, fuel costs exclusive of any amounts recovered through fuel
surcharges are expected to increase by approximately $25 million to $35 million as compared to
fiscal 2011. Our estimate is based upon current, published quarterly market price projections for
diesel, the cost committed to in our forward fuel purchase agreements currently in place for fiscal
2012 and estimates of fuel consumption. Actual fuel costs could vary from our estimates if any of
these assumptions change, in particular if future fuel prices vary significantly from our current
estimates. We continue to evaluate all opportunities to offset potential increases in fuel
expense, including the use of fuel surcharges and overall expense management. Based on our
24
current projections, we anticipate that the increase in fuel surcharges will offset the
majority of our projected fuel cost increase in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011.
We adjust the carrying values of our COLI policies to their cash surrender values on an
ongoing basis. The cash surrender values of these policies are largely based on the values of
underlying investments, which through fiscal 2011 included publicly traded securities. As a
result, the cash surrender values of these policies fluctuated with changes in the market value of
such securities. The changes in the financial markets resulted in gains for these policies of
$13.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Near the end of fiscal 2011, we reallocated all
of our policies into low-risk, fixed-income securities to reduce earnings volatility and therefore
our adjustments for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were not significant. While we expect a year
over year impact from COLI adjustments during the remaining quarters of fiscal 2012 as compared to
the comparable periods of fiscal 2011, we do not expect a significant impact on fiscal 2012s
operating income, net earnings and earnings per share from these policies.
Net company-sponsored pension costs in first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $6.8 million lower
than the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in fiscal 2012 was due primarily to higher
returns on assets of Syscos Retirement Plan obtained in fiscal 2011.
Net Earnings
Net earnings increased 1.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from the comparable period of
the prior year due primarily to the impact of changes in income taxes, as well as the factors
discussed above. Adjusted net earnings increased 8.8%.
The effective tax rate of 36.90% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was favorably impacted
by a decrease in a tax provision for a foreign tax liability of approximately $3.6 million
resulting from changes in exchange rates. Lower foreign statutory tax rates also had the impact of
reducing the effective tax rate.
The effective tax rate of 37.28% for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was favorably impacted
by the adjustment of the carrying values of our COLI policies to their cash surrender values. The
gain of $13.5 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was non-taxable for income tax
purposes, and had the impact of decreasing income tax expense for the period by $5.2 million.
Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share remained unchanged in the first quarter of fiscal 2012
from the comparable period of the prior year at $0.51 per share. Net earnings increased 1.2%,
however average shares and diluted shares outstanding increased over the first quarter of fiscal
2011 primarily due to option exercises that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.55 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and $0.51 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2011, representing an increase of 7.8%.
Non-GAAP Reconciliations
Syscos results of operations are impacted by costs from our multi-year Business
Transformation Project. Additionally, near the end of fiscal 2011, we reallocated all of our
investments in our COLI policies into low-risk, fixed-income securities and therefore we do not
expect significant volatility in operating expenses, operating income, net earnings and diluted
earnings per share in future periods related to these policies. We experienced significant gains
in these policies during fiscal 2011. We do not expect a significant impact on fiscal 2012s
operating income, net earnings and diluted earnings per share in future periods from these
policies. Management believes that adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, net
earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove the impact of the Business Transformation Project
expenses and COLI gains provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results
and provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is
indicative of the performance of the companys underlying operations and facilitates comparison on
a year-over year basis. The company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial
results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These financial measures should
not be used as a substitute in assessing the companys results of operations for the 13-week
periods ending October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure
should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. As a result, in the
table below, the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011
are adjusted to remove expenses related to the Business Transformation Project and gains recorded
on the adjustments to the carrying value of COLI
25
policies. Set forth below is a reconciliation of actual operating expenses, operating income,
net earnings and diluted earnings per share to adjusted results for these measures for the periods
presented:

Segment Results
We have aggregated our operating companies into a number of segments, of which only Broadline
and SYGMA are reportable segments as defined in the accounting literature related to disclosures
about segments of an enterprise. The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those
disclosed by Sysco for its consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales represent
specialty produce products distributed by the Broadline and SYGMA operating companies.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, operating segment results no longer include
certain centrally incurred costs for corporate overhead and shared services due to a change in how
management evaluates the performance of each of the operating segments. Previously, these
centrally incurred costs were charged to the segments based upon the relative level of service used
by each operating segment. Management now evaluates the performance of each of our operating
segments based on its respective operating income results, which excludes the allocation of certain
centrally incurred costs. This results in higher operating income at an operating segment level
and higher corporate expenses. Segment reporting for the comparable prior year period has been
revised to conform to the new basis of determining segment operating income without the allocation
of certain centrally incurred costs. Corporate expenses generally include all expenses of the
corporate office and Syscos shared service center. These also include all share-based
compensation costs and expenses related to the companys Business Transformation Project.
In addition, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the companys custom-cut meat
operations were reorganized to function as part of the United States Broadline segment. As a
result, the custom-cut meat operations are included in the Broadline reportable segment in the
segment reporting presented below. Previously, these operations were an independent segment and
were presented with the Other financial information relating to non-reportable segments. Segment
reporting for the comparable prior year period has been revised to conform to the new
classification of the custom-cut meat operations as part of the Broadline reportable segment.
The following table sets forth the operating income of each of our reportable segments and the
other segment expressed as a percentage of each segments sales for each period reported and should
be read in conjunction with Note 12, Business Segment Information:

Broadline Segment
Broadline operating companies distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of
non-food products to both traditional and chain restaurant customers and also provides custom-cut
meat operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Broadline operating results represented
approximately 81.8% of Syscos overall sales and 94.0% of the aggregated operating income of
Syscos segments, which excludes corporate expenses and consolidated adjustments.
Sales
Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were 8.9% greater than the comparable prior year
period. Product cost inflation and the resulting increase in selling prices, combined with case
volume improvement, contributed to the increase in sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Changes in product costs, an internal measure of inflation or deflation, were estimated as
inflation of 7.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Non-comparable acquisitions contributed
0.8% to the overall sales comparison for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The changes in the
exchange rates used to translate our foreign sales into U.S. dollars positively impacted sales by
0.8% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Operating Income
Operating income increased by 5.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 over the comparable
prior year period. This increase was driven by increasing gross profit dollars more than operating
expenses.
Gross profit dollars increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to increased
sales; however, gross profit dollars increased at a lower rate than sales. Based on Broadlines
product sales mix for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we were most impacted by higher levels of
inflation in the dairy, meat and canned and dry product categories. While we are generally able to
pass through modest levels of inflation to our customers, we were unable to fully pass through
these higher levels of product cost inflation with the same gross margin in these product
categories without negatively impacting our customers business and therefore our business. While
we cannot predict whether inflation will continue at these levels, prolonged periods of high
inflation, either overall or in certain product categories, can have a negative impact on our
customers, as high food costs can reduce consumer spending in the food-away-from-home market, and
may negatively impact the Broadline segments sales, gross profit and earnings.
Gross profit dollars for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 also increased as a result of higher
fuel surcharges. Fuel surcharges were approximately $14.9 million higher in the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 than the comparable prior year period due to the application of fuel surcharges to a
broader customer base in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 due to higher fuel prices incurred during
this period as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
The expense increases in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were driven largely by an increase
in pay-related expenses and fuel costs. The increase in pay-related expenses was due to an
increase in gross profit dollars and case volume, impacting sales personnel costs. Portions of our
pay-related expense are variable in nature and are expected to increase when gross profit
28
dollars and case volumes increase. Also contributing to the increase were delivery personnel costs, higher
provisions for current year management incentive bonuses, pay-related expenses from acquired
companies and changes in the exchange rates
used to translate our foreign results into U.S. dollars. Fuel costs were $9.0 million higher
in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 than the comparable prior year period. Assuming that fuel
prices do not rise significantly over recent levels during fiscal 2012, fuel costs for fiscal 2012
not including any amounts recovered through fuel surcharges, are expected to increase by
approximately $15 million to $25 million as compared to fiscal 2011. Our estimate is based upon
current, published quarterly market price projections for diesel, the cost committed to in our
forward fuel purchase agreements currently in place for fiscal 2012 and estimates of fuel
consumption. Actual fuel costs could vary from our estimates if any of these assumptions change,
in particular if future fuel prices vary significantly from our current estimates. We continue to
evaluate all opportunities to offset potential increases in fuel expense, including the use of fuel
surcharges and overall expense management.
SYGMA Segment
SYGMA operating companies distribute a full line of food products and a wide variety of
non-food products to certain chain restaurant customer locations.
Sales
Sales were 4.9% greater in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 than the comparable prior year
period. The increase in sales was primarily due to product cost inflation and the resulting
increase in selling prices.
Operating Income
Operating income increased by 4.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 over the comparable
prior year period primarily due to increased sales. Gross profit increased in the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 due to increased sales and an increase of approximately $3.2 million in the fuel
surcharges charged to customers in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from the comparable prior year
period due to higher fuel prices in fiscal 2012. Operating expenses increased in the first quarter
of fiscal 2012 largely due to increased delivery and warehouse personnel payroll costs as well as
increased fuel cost. Fuel costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $4.4 million greater than
the comparable prior year period.
Other Segment
Other financial information is attributable to our other operating segments, including our
specialty produce and lodging industry products and a company that distributes to international
customers. These operating segments are discussed on an aggregate basis as they do not represent
reportable segments under segment accounting literature.
Operating income increased 16.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 over the comparable
prior year period. The increase in operating income was caused primarily by increased sales and
favorable expense management in the specialty produce and lodging industry products segments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Syscos strategic objectives require continuing investment and our financial resources include
cash provided by operations and access to capital from financial markets. Our operations
historically have produced significant cash flow. Cash generated from operations is generally
allocated to working capital requirements; investments in facilities, systems, fleet, other
equipment and technology; acquisitions compatible with our overall growth strategy; and cash
dividends. Any remaining cash generated from operations may be invested in high-quality,
short-term instruments or applied toward the cost of the share repurchase program. As a part of
our ongoing strategic analysis, we regularly evaluate business opportunities, including potential
acquisitions and sales of assets and businesses, and our overall capital structure. Any
transactions resulting from these evaluations may materially impact our liquidity, borrowing
capacity, leverage ratios and capital availability.
Our liquidity and capital resources can be influenced by economic trends and conditions
primarily due to their impact on our cash flows from operations. Weak economic conditions and low
levels of consumer confidence and the resulting pressure on consumer disposable income can lower
our sales growth and potentially our cash flows from operations. While these factors were present
in fiscal 2012 to date and fiscal 2011, they had only a modest impact on our cash flows from
operations in these periods due in large part to our working capital management. We do not believe
current economic conditions will significantly impact our cash flows from operations in fiscal
2012, as we can respond to reduced consumer demand, if it were to occur, by
29
lowering our working capital requirements. Additionally, approximately one-third of our customers are not impacted by
general economic conditions to the same extent as restaurants and other food retailers. These
customers include hospitals,
nursing homes, schools and colleges. Product cost inflation can potentially lower our gross
profit and cash flow from operations if we are unable to pass through all of the increased product
costs with the same gross margin to our customers. This occurred in fiscal 2012 to date and fiscal
2011, as we were able to pass some, but not all, of our product cost increases on to our customers;
however, we believe our mechanisms to manage product cost inflation, some of which are contractual,
are sufficient to limit the impact on our cash flows from operations.
We believe that our cash flows from operations, the availability of additional capital under
our existing commercial paper programs and bank lines of credit and our ability to access capital
from financial markets, including issuances of debt securities, either privately or under our shelf
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will be sufficient
to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months and beyond, while maintaining
sufficient liquidity for normal operating purposes. We believe that we will continue to be able to
effectively access the commercial paper market and long-term capital markets, if necessary.
Operating Activities
We generated $255.3 million in cash flow from operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2012,
as compared to $226.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Cash flow from operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal
2011 was primarily generated by net earnings and non-cash depreciation and amortization expense and
an increase in accrued income taxes. These increases were partially offset in both periods by
changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, an increase in accounts receivable balances, an
increase in inventory balances and a decrease in accrued expenses.
The increases in accounts receivable balances for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal
2011 were primarily due to the increase in sales in the first quarter as well as a seasonal change
in volume and customer mix. Due to normal seasonal patterns, sales to multi-unit customers and
school districts represented a larger percentage of our sales at the end of each first quarter as
compared to the end of each prior fiscal year. Payment terms for these types of customers are
traditionally longer than average. The increase in inventory balances for the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the increase in sales in the quarter. The change
in accounts payable balances for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was not significant. The
increase in accounts payable balances for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the
growth in inventory discussed above. In addition, accounts payable balances are impacted by many
factors, including changes in product mix, cash discount terms and changes in payment terms with
vendors.
Cash flow from operations was negatively impacted by decreases in accrued expenses of $40.9
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and $124.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2011. The decreases in both periods were primarily due to the payment of the respective prior year
annual incentive bonuses, partially offset by accruals for current year compensation incentives. A
decrease in accrued interest also contributed to the overall decrease for both the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of 2011. Partially offsetting these decreases in the first
quarter of fiscal 2012 is an increase in current multi-employer withdrawal liability, reclassified
from other long-term liabilities due to the estimated timing of payment in fiscal 2012.
Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was positively impacted by an
increase in accrued income taxes of $444.9 million, partially offset by changes in deferred tax
assets and liabilities of $290.7 million. Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of
fiscal 2011 was positively impacted by an increase in accrued income taxes of $342.1 million,
partially offset by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities of $198.9 million. There were
no payments related to the IRS settlement in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2011. The
changes in both the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 were impacted by the current tax
provision and prior year extension payments. Total cash taxes paid were $21.9 million and $35.2
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Other long-term liabilities increased $10.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2012
primarily as a result of net company sponsored pension costs exceeding contributions to our
company-sponsored pension plans during the period. Partially offsetting this increase was a
reduction in long-term multi-employer withdrawal liability, reclassified to accrued expenses due to
the estimated timing of payment in fiscal 2012. Other long-term liabilities increased $47.0
million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily as a result of net company sponsored
pension costs exceeding contributions to our company-sponsored pension plans during the period.
30
We recorded net company-sponsored pension costs of $39.8 million and $46.6 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively. Our contributions to our
company-sponsored defined benefit plans were $5.7 million and $5.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we made a $140.0
million contribution to our Retirement Plan that would normally have been made in fiscal 2012.
Additional contributions to our Retirement Plan are not currently anticipated in fiscal 2012;
however, we will evaluate our funding position at the end of fiscal 2012 and select the timing for
a contribution at that time.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures in both the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal
2011 primarily included facility replacements and expansions, fleet replacements and investments
in technology including $45.2 million and $52.7 million for our Business Transformation Project,
respectively.
We expect total capital expenditures in fiscal 2012 to be in the range of $700 million to $750
million. Fiscal 2012 expenditures will include facility, fleet and other equipment replacements and
expansions; new facility construction, including fold-out facilities; and investments in technology
including our Business Transformation Project. Our estimate has been reduced from the estimates
provided in our Fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K due to a change in the timing of the
construction of our third regional distribution center. Given current macroeconomic conditions, we
continue to evaluate the appropriate time at which to begin construction.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we paid cash of $36.1 million for operations
acquired.
Financing Activities
Shares repurchased during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were 4,920,000 shares at a cost of
$133.4 million, as compared to 4,000,000 shares at a cost of $116.7 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2011. An additional 2,270,000 shares were repurchased at a cost of $59.9 million through
October 29, 2011, resulting in a remaining authorization by our Board of Directors to repurchase up
to 6,196,600 shares, based on the trades made through that date.
Dividends paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $153.8 million, or $0.26 per share, as
compared to $146.9 million, or $0.25 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. In August
2011, we declared our regular quarterly dividend for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 of $0.26 per
share, which was paid in October 2011.
We have uncommitted bank lines of credit, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working
capital of up to $95.0 million, of which $5.4 million was outstanding as of October 1, 2011. There
were no such borrowings outstanding as of October 29, 2011.
On June 30, 2011, a Canadian subsidiary of Sysco entered into a short-term demand loan
facility for the purpose of facilitating a distribution from the Canadian subsidiary to Sysco, and
Sysco concurrently entered into an agreement with the bank to guarantee the loan. The amount
borrowed was $182.0 million and was repaid in full on July 4, 2011.
Sysco and one of our subsidiaries, Sysco International, ULC, have a revolving credit facility
supporting our U.S. and Canadian commercial paper programs. The facility, in the amount of $1.0
billion, expires on November 4, 2012, but is subject to extension.
There were $108.0 million of commercial paper issuances outstanding as of October 1, 2011. As
of October 29, 2011, there were $351.0 million of commercial paper issuances outstanding. During
the 13-week period ended October 1, 2011, aggregate commercial paper issuances and short-term bank
borrowings ranged from zero to approximately $401.8 million. During the first quarter of fiscal
2012 and 2011, our aggregate commercial paper issuances and short-term bank borrowings had a
weighted average interest rate of 0.18% and 0.23%, respectively.
Included in current maturities of long-term debt as October 1, 2011 are the 6.10% senior notes
totaling $200.0 million, which mature in June 2012. These notes were issued by Sysco
International, Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sysco now known as Sysco International, ULC. It
is our intention to fund the repayment of these notes at maturity through issuances of commercial
paper, senior notes or a combination thereof.

Other Considerations
Multiemployer Pension Plans
As discussed in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, we contribute to several
multiemployer defined benefit pension plans based on obligations arising under collective
bargaining agreements covering union-represented employees.
Under current law regarding multiemployer defined benefit plans, a plans termination, our
voluntary withdrawal or the mass withdrawal of all contributing employers from any underfunded
multiemployer defined benefit plan would require us to make payments to the plan for our
proportionate share of the multiemployer plans unfunded vested liabilities. Generally, Sysco does
not have the greatest share of liability among the participants in any of the plans in which we
participate. Based on the information available from plan administrators, which has valuation
dates ranging from January 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, we estimate our share of withdrawal
liability on most of the multiemployer plans in which we participate could have been as much as
$210.0 million as of October 1, 2011 based on a voluntary withdrawal. This estimate excludes plans
for which Sysco has recorded withdrawal liabilities. The majority of the plans we participate in
have a valuation date of calendar year-end. As such, the majority of our estimated withdrawal
liability results from plans for which the valuation date was December 31, 2009; therefore, our
estimated liability reflects condition of the financial markets as of that date. Due to the lack
of current information, we believe our current share of the withdrawal liability could materially
differ from this estimate. In addition, if a multiemployer defined benefit plan fails to satisfy
certain minimum funding requirements, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may impose a
non-deductible excise tax of 5% on the amount of the accumulated funding deficiency for those
employers contributing to the fund.
From time to time, we may voluntarily withdraw from multiemployer pension plans to minimize or
limit our future exposure to these plans. As of October 1, 2011, we had approximately $46.9
million in liabilities recorded related to certain multiemployer defined benefit plans for which
our voluntary withdrawal had already occurred. Recorded withdrawal liabilities are estimated at
the time of withdrawal based on the most recently available valuation and participant data for the
respective plans; amounts are adjusted up to the period of payment to reflect any changes to these
estimates. If any of these plans were to undergo a mass withdrawal, as defined by the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation, within a two year time frame from the point of our withdrawal, we
could have additional liability. We do not currently believe any mass withdrawals are probable to
occur in the applicable two year time frame relating to the plans from which we have voluntarily
withdrawn.
Required contributions to multiemployer plans could increase in the future as these plans
strive to improve their funding levels. In addition, the Pension Protection Act, enacted in August
2006, requires underfunded pension plans to improve their funding ratios within prescribed
intervals based on the level of their underfunding. We believe that any unforeseen requirements to
pay such increased contributions, withdrawal liability and excise taxes would be funded through
cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity or a combination of these items.
BSCC Cooperative Structure
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Sysco reached a settlement with the IRS in connection
with its audits of our 2003 through 2006 federal income tax returns. As a result of the
settlement, we agreed to cease paying U.S. federal taxes related to our affiliate Baugh Supply
Chain Cooperative (BSCC) on a deferred basis and pay the amounts that were recorded within deferred
taxes related to BSCC over a three-year period as follows:

|
Fiscal 2011 |
|
|

|
Fiscal 2012 |
|
|

|
As noted in the table above, payments related to the settlement were $212.0 million in fiscal
2011, none of which had been paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Amounts to be paid in
fiscal 2012 will occur in connection with Syscos quarterly tax payments, two of which fall in the
second quarter, one in the third quarter and one in the fourth quarter. The company believes it has
access to sufficient cash on hand, cash flow from operations and current access to capital to make
payments on all of the amounts noted above.

Contractual Obligations
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2011 contains a table that
summarizes our obligations and commitments to make contractual future cash payments as of July 2,
2011. Since July 2, 2011, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal
of our financial position and results of operations. These policies require our most subjective or
complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain. Syscos most critical accounting policies and estimates include those that
pertain to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, self-insurance programs, pension plans,
income taxes, vendor consideration, accounting for business combinations and share-based
compensation, which are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
July 2, 2011.

|
|
|
the risk that we may not be able to compensate for increases in fuel costs; |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Syscos leverage and debt risks, capital and borrowing needs and changes in interest
rates; |

|
|
|
our dependence on technology and the reliability of our technology network; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that other sponsors of our multiemployer pension plans will withdraw or become
insolvent; |
|
|
|
|
that the IRS may impose an excise tax on the unfunded portion of our multiemployer
pension plans or that the Pension Protection Act could require that we make additional
pension contributions; |
|
|
|
|
the impact of financial market changes on the assets held by our company-sponsored
Retirement Plan and by the multiemployer pension plans in which we participate; |
|
|
|
|
labor issues, including the renegotiation of union contracts and shortage of qualified
labor; and |
|
|
|
|
the risk that the anti-takeover benefits provided by our preferred stock may not be
viewed as beneficial to stockholders. |
For a more detailed discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from those
contained in the forward-looking statements, see the risk factors discussion contained in Item 1A
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2011.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our market risks consist of interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, fuel
price risk and investment risk. For a discussion on our exposure to market risk, see Part II, Item
7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2011. There have been no significant changes to our market risks
since July 2, 2011 except as noted below.
Interest Rate Risk
At October 1, 2011, we had $108.0 million of commercial paper issuances outstanding. Total
debt as of October 1, 2011 was $2.6 billion, of which approximately 77% was at fixed rates of
interest, including the impact of our interest rate swap agreements.
In fiscal 2010, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted
$250 million of fixed rate debt maturing in fiscal 2013 (the fiscal 2013 swap) and $200 million of
fixed rate debt maturing in fiscal 2014 (the fiscal 2014 swap) to floating rate debt. These
transactions were entered into with the goal of reducing overall borrowing cost. The major risks
from interest rate derivatives include changes in interest rates affecting the fair value of such
instruments, potential increases in interest expense due to market increases in floating interest
rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties in such transactions. These transactions were
designated as fair value hedges since the swaps hedge against the changes in fair value of fixed
rate debt resulting from changes in interest rates.
As of October 1, 2011, the fiscal 2013 swap was recognized as an asset within the consolidated
balance sheet at fair value within other assets of $5.2 million. The fixed interest rate on the
hedged debt is 4.2% and the floating interest rate on the swap is three-month LIBOR which resets
quarterly. As of October 1, 2011, the fiscal 2014 swap was recognized as an asset within the
consolidated balance sheet at fair value within other assets of $8.1 million. The fixed interest
rate on the hedged debt is 4.6% and the floating interest rate on the swap is three-month LIBOR
which resets quarterly.
Fuel Price Risk
Due to the nature of our distribution business, we are exposed to potential volatility in fuel
prices. The price and availability of diesel fuel fluctuates due to changes in production,
seasonality and other market factors generally outside of our control. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, fuel costs related to outbound deliveries represented approximately
0.7%, and 0.6% of sales, respectively.
We routinely enter into forward purchase commitments for a portion of our projected monthly
diesel fuel requirements. As of October 1, 2011, we had forward diesel fuel commitments totaling
approximately $92 million through September 2012. These contracts will lock in the price of
approximately 30% to 35% of our fuel purchase needs for the contracted periods at
34
prices lower than the current market price for diesel for second quarter of fiscal 2012 and near the current market
price for diesel for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Syscos management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 1,
2011. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. Management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Syscos
disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving
their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October
1, 2011, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date,
Syscos disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2011 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
