Summary

  • $10.53 billion in Q2 revenue and adjusted EPS of $1.44 both topped Wall Street forecasts, with sales rising 4.5% from a year earlier.
  • US Foods said the beat was driven by 1.9% volume growth, its strongest independent restaurant case growth since late 2023, and share gains in healthcare and hospitality.
  • Adjusted EBITDA reached $604 million, ahead of estimates, while operating margin held flat at 4.2% as Pronto delivery expansion and vendor management supported profitability and cash flow.
  • Management said it expects double-digit adjusted EPS growth ahead, backed by technology investment, AI and automation efforts, and a new sales compensation structure aimed at further market-share gains.
