Key financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 include the following (comparisons are to the same period in fiscal year 2026): • Sales increased 2.8%; U.S. Foodservice volume increased 2.6%; U.S. Foodservice local volume increased 2.7%; • Gross profit increased 3.8% to $4.1 billion; • Operating income decreased 10.4% to $717 million, and adjusted operating income increased 3.2% to $927 million; • Net earnings increased 10.5% to $526 million, and adjusted net earnings increased 4.2% to $574 million; • EBITDA increased 20.4% to $1.2 billion, and adjusted EBITDA increased 5.4% to $1.1 billion ; and • EPS increased 10.1% to $1.09, and adjusted EPS increased 3.5% to $1.19. “We are pleased to report a strong start to fiscal 2027. Our Q1 adjusted EPS performance was in-line with our expectations, fueled by positive volume growth, expanding gross margins, and disciplined expense control. We delivered profitable growth across the US and International segments despite continued softness in restaurant foot traffic, higher than expected fuel costs, and lower than expected U.S. food cost inflation. Sysco remains firmly focused on three priorities for the year: a) delivering with excellence for our customers, as well as our core Sysco financial commitments, b) improving our operating margins through AI-powered business transformation, and c) preparing for the anticipated closure of the Jetro Restaurant Depot transaction. I want to thank our entire team for their customer focus, the improvement in our business that they are delivering, and express how excited everyone at Sysco is for the year ahead,” said Kevin Hourican, Sysco’s Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. “Our teams delivered 2.7% local growth in our U.S. segment and grew adjusted operating income across our USFS and International segments. Our company specific initiatives kept us focused on the elements of performance within our control within a choppy operating environment. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our net cost savings targets enabled by AI technology which include our expectation for $100 million in savings included in our FY27 guidance, with benefits accelerating in the second half. We remain confident in delivering on our adjusted EPS growth guidance of 9%-11%, reflecting unchanged local volume growth assumptions of approximately 2.5%, while full year sales Adjusted financial results, including adjusted operating expense, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) and adjusted EBITDA, among others, are non- GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items, which primarily include acquisition-related costs, restructuring and severance costs, and transformational project costs.

Sysco Corporation and its Consolidated SubsidiariesNon-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)Impact of Certain Items The discussion of our results includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, that we believe provide important perspective with respect to underlying business trends. Other than EBITDA and free cash flow, any non-GAAP financial measures will be denoted as adjusted measures to remove (1) restructuring charges; (2) expenses associated with our various transformation initiatives; (3) severance charges; and (4) acquisition-related costs consisting of: (a) intangible amortization expense and (b) acquisition costs and due diligence costs related to our acquisitions. Adjustments provided herein for fiscal 2027 results of operations also remove amortization expense associated with debt issuance costs on a bridge loan facility and a gain on deal contingent rate lock transactions entered into to mitigate interest rate risk on permanent debt issued to finance the JRD Acquisition Transactions. No similar charges were applicable in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The results of our operations can be impacted due to changes in exchange rates applicable in converting local currencies to U.S. dollars. We measure our results on a constant currency basis. Constant currency operating results are calculated by translating current-period local currency operating results with the currency exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior-year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rate had not changed from the comparable prior-year period. Management believes that adjusting its operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, interest expense, other (income) expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to remove these Certain Items, presenting its results on a constant currency basis, provides an important perspective with respect to our underlying business trends and results. It provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that (1) is indicative of the performance of the company’s underlying operations and (2) facilitates comparisons on a year-over-year basis. Sysco has a history of growth through acquisitions and excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures the impact of acquisition-related intangible amortization, acquisition costs and due-diligence costs for those acquisitions. We believe this approach significantly enhances the comparability of Sysco’s results for fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026. Set forth on the following page is a reconciliation of sales, operating expenses, operating income, interest expense, other (income) expense, net earnings and diluted earnings per share to adjusted results for these measures for the periods presented. Individual components of diluted earnings per share may not be equal to the total presented when added due to rounding. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net earnings divided by diluted shares outstanding. The non-GAAP financial measures shown in the following tables should not be used as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measures in assessing the company’s financial performance for the periods presented. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. 11

Sysco Corporation and its Consolidated Subsidiaries Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited) Free Cash Flow (In Millions) Free cash flow represents net cash provided from operating activities less purchases of plant and equipment and includes proceeds from sales of plant and equipment. Sysco considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases and sales of buildings, fleet, equipment and technology, which may potentially be used to pay for, among other things, strategic uses of cash including dividend payments, share repurchases and acquisitions. However, free cash flow may not be available for discretionary expenditures, as it may be necessary that we use it to make mandatory debt service or other payments. Free cash flow should not be used as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure in assessing the company’s liquidity for the periods presented. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. In the table that follows, free cash flow for each period presented is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities. 13-Week PeriodEnded Sep. 26,2026 13-Week PeriodEnded Sep. 27,2025 13-Week PeriodChange in Dollars Net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) $ 278 $ 86 $ 192 Additions to plant and equipment (97) (160) 63 Proceeds from sales of plant and equipment 49 24 25 Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP) $ 230 $ (50) $ 280 16

Sysco Corporation and its Consolidated Subsidiaries Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited) Impact of Certain Items on Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) (Dollars in Millions) EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) plus (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense and benefit, (iii) depreciation and (iv) amortization. The net earnings (loss) component of our EBITDA calculation is impacted by Certain Items that we do not consider representative of our underlying performance. As a result, in the non-GAAP reconciliations below for each period presented, adjusted EBITDA is computed as EBITDA plus the impact of Certain Items, excluding certain items related to interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Sysco's management considers growth in this metric to be a measure of overall financial performance that provides useful information to management and investors about the profitability of the business, as it facilitates comparison of performance on a consistent basis from period to period by providing a measurement of recurring factors and trends affecting our business. Additionally, it is a commonly used component metric used to inform on capital structure decisions. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure in assessing the company’s financial performance for the periods presented. An analysis of any non- GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. In the tables that follow, adjusted EBITDA for each period presented is reconciled to net earnings. 13-Week PeriodEnded Sep. 26,2026 13-Week PeriodEnded Sep. 27,2025 Change in Dollars% Change Net earnings (GAAP) $ 526 $ 476 $ 50 10.5 % Interest (GAAP) 261 172 89 51.7 Income taxes (GAAP) 161 124 37 29.8 Depreciation and amortization (GAAP) 262 233 29 12.4 EBITDA (Non-GAAP) $ 1,210 $ 1,005 $ 205 20.4 % Certain Item adjustments: Impact of restructuring, transformational project,and other costs 98 54 44 81.5 Impact of acquisition-related costs 57 11 46 NM Impact of deal contingent rate lock transactions andother items associated with the planned acquisitionof Jetro Restaurant Depot (237) — (237) NM EBITDA adjusted for Certain Items (Non-GAAP) $ 1,128 $ 1,070 $ 58 5.4 % Other expense (income), net, as adjusted (Non-GAAP) 6 28 (22) (78.6) Depreciation and amortization, as adjusted (Non-GAAP) (207) (200) (7) (3.5) Operating income adjusted for Certain Items(Non-GAAP) $ 927 $ 898 $ 29 3.2 % Fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026 include charges related to restructuring and severance, as well as various transformation initiative costs, primarily consisting of supply chain transformation costs andchanges to our business technology strategy, excluding charges related to accelerated depreciation. Fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026 include acquisition and due diligence costs. Fiscal 2027 primarily includes a gain on deal contingent rate lock transactions related to the planned acquisition of Jetro Restaurant Depot. In arriving at adjusted EBITDA, Sysco does not exclude interest income of $7 million and $6 million or non-cash stock compensation expense of $28 million and $31 million in fiscal 2027 and fiscal2026, respectively. Fiscal 2027 represents $231 million in GAAP other expense (income), net less $237 million in income primarily from a gain on deal contingent rate lock transactions entered into to mitigate interest raterisk on permanent debt issued to finance the purchase of Jetro Restaurant Depot.

Sysco Corporation and its Consolidated Subsidiaries Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited) Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (In Millions) Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies. It is an important measure used by management to evaluate our access to liquidity, and we believe it is a representation of our financial strength. Our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated using a numerator of our debt minus cash and cash equivalents, divided by the sum of the most recent four quarters of Adjusted EBITDA. In the table that follows, we have provided the calculation of our debt and net debt as a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA. Sep. 26, 2026 Current maturities of long-term debt $ 960 Long-term debt 12,860 Total Debt (GAAP) 13,820 Cash & Cash Equivalents (3,171) Net Debt (Non-GAAP) $ 10,649 Net Earnings for the previous 12 months (GAAP) $ 1,806 Adjusted EBITDA for the previous 12 months (Non-GAAP) $ 4,445 Total Debt/Net Earnings Ratio (GAAP) 7.65 Total Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (Non-GAAP) 3.11 Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (Non-GAAP) 2.40 Note: Refer to non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this release.

Projected Adjusted EPS Guidance Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure; however, we cannot predict with certainty certain items that would be included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the relevant future periods. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation of projected adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort. However, we expect to calculate adjusted earnings per share for future periods in the same manner as the reconciliations provided for the historical periods herein. 20
