“In fiscal 2019 we continued to profitably grow our business while expanding our operating leverage for the fourth consecutive year. Full year organic Adjusted EBITDA growth of 6.2% was in line with our guidance for the year and we grew Adjusted Diluted EPS by almost 10%,” said Chairman and CEO Pietro Satriano. “Our Great Food. Made Easy. strategy continues to resonate with customers, with 56 new Scoop products launched during the year and continued enhancements to our value-added services platform. The integration of the Food Group is progressing as planned with a new leadership organization in place and the successful launch of our best selling Scoop products in our Northwest

markets now complete. We are confident in the future growth prospects for our business and our ability to achieve the 2020 guidance targets we have set for the year."
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2019 Results
Total case volume increased 12.3% from the prior year, of which 0.4% was organic growth. Independent restaurant case volume increased 11.9% from the prior year, of which 2.9% was organic growth. Net sales of $6.9 billion for the quarter increased 14.8% from the prior year, primarily due to the addition of the Food Group and year-over-year inflation in multiple product categories, including cheese, poultry and beef. The Food Group contributed $711 million to Net sales in the fourth quarter.
Gross profit of $1.2 billion increased $145 million, or 13.3%, from the prior year, primarily driven by the addition of the Food Group, margin expansion initiatives and an increase in organic case volume, which were partially offset by an unfavorable year-over-year change in the last-in, first-out (LIFO) reserve. Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 17.8%. Adjusted Gross profit was $1.2 billion, a 14.0% increase from the prior year, driven by the addition of Food Group, margin expansion initiatives and an increase in organic case volume. Adjusted Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 18.0%.
Operating expenses were $1.1 billion, an increase of 14.0% from the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the addition of Food Group, higher distribution costs and wages and higher acquisition-related costs, which were partially offset by the positive impact of expense control initiatives. Adjusted Operating expenses for the quarter were $913 million, a 14.1% increase from the prior year, primarily driven by the addition of the Food Group and higher distribution costs and wages.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $122 million, a $10 million decrease from the prior year.
Net income was $92 million, a decrease of $8 million from the prior year, primarily driven by higher Operating expenses and interest costs, which were partially offset by an increase in Gross profit, as discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA was $335 million, an increase of $38 million, or 12.8%, compared to the prior year. Organic Adjusted EBITDA was $317 million, an increase of $20 million, or 6.7%, compared to the prior year. Diluted EPS decreased 8.7% to $0.42 and Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 10.0% to $0.66.
Fiscal Year 2019 Results
Total case volume increased 4.6% from the prior year, of which 1.1% was organic growth. Independent restaurant case volume increased 7.1%, of which 4.4% was organic growth. Net sales of $25.9 billion increased 7.3% from the prior year, primarily due to the addition of the Food Group, an increase in organic case volume and year-over-year inflation in multiple product categories, including grocery, poultry, beef and produce. The Food Group contributed $843 million to Net sales in fiscal 2019.
Gross profit of $4.6 billion increased $281 million, or 6.5%, from the prior year, primarily driven by margin expansion initiatives, the addition of the Food Group and an increase in organic case volume, which were partially offset by an unfavorable year-over-year change in the LIFO reserve. Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 17.7%. Adjusted Gross profit was $4.6 billion, a 7.0% increase from the prior year, primarily driven by margin expansion initiatives, the addition of the Food Group and an increase in organic case volume. Adjusted Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales was 17.8%.
Operating expenses were $3.9 billion, an increase of 6.6% from the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the addition of the Food Group, higher distribution costs and wages and higher acquisition-related costs, which were partially offset by the positive impact of expense control initiatives. Adjusted Operating expenses were $3.4 billion, a 6.4% increase from the prior year, primarily driven by the addition of the Food Group and higher distribution costs and wages.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $511 million, a $15 million increase from the prior year.
2
Net income for fiscal year 2019 was $385 million, a decrease of $22 million from the prior year primarily driven by higher Operating expense, income taxes and interest which were partially offset by an increase in Gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,194 million, an increase of $91 million, or 8.3% compared to the prior year. Organic Adjusted EBITDA was $1,171 million, an increase of $68 million, or 6.2% compared to the prior year. Diluted EPS was $1.75 and Adjusted Diluted EPS was $2.38.
Cash Flow and Capital Transactions
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2019 was $760 million, an increase of $151 million from the prior year primarily driven by $70 million of prior year defined benefit pension plan contributions which did not reoccur in the current year, earnings growth and improved working capital performance. Cash capital expenditures for fiscal 2019 totaled $258 million, compared to $235 million in the prior year.
Net Debt at the end of fiscal 2019 was $4.6 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion versus the end of fiscal 2018. The ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 3.9x at the end of fiscal 2019, down from 4.2x at the end of the third quarter 2019 and up from 3.0x at the end of fiscal 2018 as a result of borrowing to finance the Food Group acquisition.
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2020
For fiscal year 2020, the company expects total case volume growth of 9-11%, Adjusted EBITDA growth of 12-15% and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.70-$2.80. The company expects cash capital expenditures of $325-$335 million, while fleet capital leases are expected to be approximately $80 million. Interest expense is expected to be $210-$220 million, Depreciation expense is expected to be $330-$340 million and our adjusted effective income tax rate is expected to be 25-26%.
The company also expects total organic case volume growth of 2-3% and organic Adjusted EBITDA growth of 6-8%.
The guidance provided above includes the expected impact of a 53rd week in fiscal year 2020 which is expected to add approximately 1% to case volume growth and Adjusted EBITDA growth.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures regarding our operational performance and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We use Adjusted Gross profit and Adjusted Operating expenses as supplemental measures to GAAP measures to focus on period-over-period changes in our business and believe this information is helpful to investors. Adjusted Gross profit is Gross profit adjusted to remove the impact of the LIFO inventory reserve adjustment. Adjusted Operating expenses are Operating expenses adjusted to exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance, as well other items specified in the agreements governing our indebtedness.
We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance because they exclude amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. EBITDA is Net income, plus Interest expense-net, Income tax provision (benefit), and Depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for (1) Restructuring costs and Tangible asset impairments; (2) Share-based compensation expense; (3) the non-cash impact of LIFO reserve adjustments; (4) Business transformation costs; and (5) other gains, losses or costs as specified in the agreements governing our indebtedness.
We use Net Debt as a supplemental measure to GAAP measures to review the liquidity of our operations. Net Debt is defined as total debt net of total Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash remaining on the balance sheet as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. We believe that Net Debt is a useful financial metric to assess our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments. Net Debt is not a measure of our liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Cash Flows Provided by Operations or Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities.
We believe that Adjusted Net income is a useful measure of operating performance for both management and investors because it excludes items that are not reflective of our core operating performance and provides an additional view of our operating performance including depreciation, interest expense-net, and Income tax provision (benefit) on a consistent basis from period to period. Adjusted Net income is Net income excluding such items as Restructuring benefits and costs, tangible asset impairments, Share-based compensation expense, the non-cash impacts of LIFO reserve adjustments, Business transformation costs (costs associated with the redesign of systems and processes), and other items, and adjusted for the tax effect of the exclusions and discrete tax items. Effective as of the third quarter fiscal 2019, we revised the definition of Adjusted Net income to also exclude the effect of intangible asset amortization expense. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform with the current year presentation. We believe that Adjusted Net income may be used by investors, analysts, and other interested parties to facilitate period-over-period comparisons and provides additional clarity as to how factors and trends impact our operating performance.
We use Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, which is calculated by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, Diluted Earnings per Share, by excluding the same items excluded in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to the extent that each such item was included in the applicable GAAP financial measure. We believe the presentation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to investors because the measurement excludes amounts that we do not consider part of our core operating results when assessing our performance. We also believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to investors because these metrics may be used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in our industry.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance as well as our performance relative to our competitors as they assist in highlighting trends, (b) to set internal sales targets and spending budgets, (c) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting, (d) to assess financial discipline over operational expenditures, and (e) as an important factor in determining variable compensation for management and employees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used in connection with certain covenants and restricted activities under the agreements governing our indebtedness. We also believe these and similar non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
We caution readers that our definitions of Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Diluted EPS may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures used by other companies. Definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the schedules attached to this press release. We have not, however, provided a reconciliation of our full fiscal 2019 Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Diluted EPS outlook because we are not able to accurately estimate all the adjustments on a forward-looking basis and such items could have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results as a result of their variability.

(1) | Consists primarily of severance and related costs and organizational realignment costs. |
(2) | Share-based compensation expense for expected vesting of stock awards and employee stock purchase plan. |
(3) | Represents the non-cash impact of LIFO reserve adjustments. |
(4) | Consists of settlement charges resulting from payments to settle benefit obligations with both former and current participants in our defined benefit pension plan. |
(5) | Consists primarily of costs related to significant process and systems redesign across multiple functions. |
(6) | Consists of income net of income taxes from discontinued operations. |
(7) | Includes Food Group acquisition-related costs of $17 million and $19 million for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. Also includes gains, losses or costs as specified under the agreements governing our indebtedness. |
(8) | Effective as of fiscal year 2019, we revised the definition of Adjusted net income to also exclude the effect of intangible asset amortization expense. Prior year amounts have been revised to conform with the current year presentation. |
(9) | Represents our income tax provision (benefit) adjusted for the tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted Net income and the removal of applicable discrete tax items. Applicable discrete tax items include changes in tax laws or rates, changes related to prior year unrecognized tax benefits, discrete changes in valuation allowances, and excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation. The tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted net income is computed using a corporate tax rate after considering the impact of permanent differences and valuation allowances. |
