Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
     On August 7, 2007, Performance Food Group Company, a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”), issued a press release announcing its earnings results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, 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 Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared on a GAAP basis, the Company is disclosing free cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006.
     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. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
