FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made herein are forward-looking
statements under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. They include statements about
expected future performance, the impact and
expected benefits of strategic initiatives, including
our category management initiative, plans regarding
expansion and acquisitions, and the implementation
timeline for certain initiatives.
These statements are based on management’s current
expectations and estimates; actual results may dier
materially. The success of Sysco’s strategic initiatives
and any plans regarding expansion or acquisitions
could be aected by conditions in the economy and
the industry and internal factors such as the ability
to control expenses, including fuel costs. Our ability
to meet our long-term strategic objectives depends
largely on the success of our Business Transformation
Project, which may not be successfully implemented
and may not provide the anticipated benefits. The
expected costs of our Business Transformation Project
may be greater than currently expected because we
may encounter the need for changes in design or revi-
sions of the project calendar and budget. We may be
adversely aected if we experience operating problems,
scheduling delays, cost overages or limitations on the
extent of the business transformation during the ERP
implementation and deployment process, and changes
may not prove to be cost eective or result in the cost
savings and other benefits that we anticipate. We
have temporarily halted the deployment of certain
components of our ERP system as we have identified
areas of improvement. We may experience further
delays, cost overages and/or operating problems as
we address these areas of improvement or when we
deploy the complete system on a larger scale. Future
deployments are dependent upon the success of
current eorts and plans are subject to change at any
time. Other aspects of our business transformation
initiatives, including our category management initia-
tive, may fail to provide the expected benefits in a
timely fashion, if at all. Sysco’s ability to achieve antici-
pated future results could be aected by competitive
price pressures, availability of supplies, work stoppages,
success or failure of our strategic initiatives, successful
integration of acquired companies, conditions in the
economy and the industry, and internal factors such as
the ability to control expenses.
For a discussion of additional risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to dier from those
contained in the forward-looking statements, see
Sysco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended June 29, 2013, which is included in this
Annual Report.
