Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On February 27, 2007, Performance Food Group Company, a Tennessee corporation (the Company),
issued a press release announcing its earnings results for the three and twelve months ended
December 30, 2006, the text of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The press release furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 contains certain non-GAAP financial
measures as defined by Regulation G of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. To supplement the Companys consolidated financial statements prepared on a GAAP
basis, the Company is disclosing non-GAAP EPS from continuing
operations and non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations, in each case excluding stock
compensation expense for the three and twelve months ended December 30, 2006 and free cash flow for
the three and twelve months ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP
financial measures presented in the press release are not measurements determined in accordance
with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP financial measures, as
presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period
comparisons and are meaningful indications of its operating performance. The Company included
non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations and non-GAAP earnings from
continuing operations, in each case excluding stock compensation expense for the three and
twelve months ended December 30, 2006, because it believes that
these measures more clearly reflect
the Companys operating performance for the 2006 fourth quarter and full year when stock
compensation expense related to stock option awards and the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan
was required to be expensed as compared to the same periods in 2005 when these items were not
required to be expensed. Non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations and
non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations, in each case also exclude stock compensation
expense associated with awards of restricted stock, which the Company believes provides investors
with additional information to evaluate the Companys ongoing operational performance.
Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the
Companys ability to generate cash without external financings. Management uses free cash flow to
help gauge the resources available for strategic opportunities such as making acquisitions,
investing in the business and strengthening the Companys balance sheet, and uses this measure in
making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for budget planning purposes. Free
cash flow does not, however, take into account the Companys debt service requirements and other
non-discretionary expenditures and therefore is not necessarily indicative of amounts of cash that
may be available for discretionary uses. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and
not in lieu of, cash flow from operations, net earnings and other measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 22, 2007, the Compensation Committee (the Committee) of the Board of
Directors of the Company approved the Performance Food Group Company 2007 Cash Incentive Plan (the
Cash Incentive Plan) which is intended to provide incentives to members of management, including
the Companys named executive officers, in the form of cash incentive payments for achieving
certain performance goals established by the Committee. The performance awards will be based on
achievement of established earnings per diluted share, or in some
cases earnings before interest and taxes, goals as well as other criteria specific to
the individual for the 2007 fiscal year. Actual awards can
range from zero to 120% of a participants base salary with the following maximum percentages
established for the following executive officers:
|
|
|
Name |
|
Percentage Target |
Steven L. Spinner |
|
120% |
John D. Austin |
|
100% |
Thomas Hoffman |
|
120% |
Joseph J. Paterak, Jr. |
|
116% |
Charlotte L. Perkins |
|
75% |
In addition, the Cash Incentive Plan provides for the possibility of cash incentive payments
for performance over a performance period that is longer than the 2007 fiscal year. While the
Committee has not yet established any performance goals for the two-year performance period ending
January 3, 2009, the Company expects that the Committee will establish such goals during the first
quarter of 2007 and that such goals will be based on the Companys operating performance as well as
other criteria specific to the individual for the two-year performance period ending January 3,
2009. The Company anticipates that if the Committee establishes performance goals for the two year
period ending January 3, 2009, that actual awards for that
period may range from zero to an
additional 25% of a participants base salary with the maximum
percentages for the following executive officers expected to be set at
the following levels:
|
|
|
Name |
|
Percentage Target |
Steven L. Spinner |
|
25% |
John D. Austin |
|
25% |
Thomas Hoffman |
|
25% |
Joseph J. Paterak, Jr. |
|
25% |
Charlotte L. Perkins |
|
25% |
The Committee will administer and make all determinations under the Cash Incentive Plan.
