How to read a company earnings-call score.
Local volume growth accelerated to 3.3%, the strongest in three years, as Sysco announced the transformative $29.1 billion Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition while revenue grew 4.7% and international delivered its tenth consecutive double-digit profit growth. Adjusted EPS of $0.94 was in line with expectations as incentive compensation lapping created a significant headwind, and gross margin expansion accelerated on strategic sourcing and mix improvement. The $800 million share repurchase was suspended and the CFO departed ahead of the acquisition closing.
