Report of Management on Internal Control
OverFinancial Reporting
The management of Sysco Corporation (“Sysco”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over  nancial reporting for the
company. Sysco’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of  nancial reporting and the preparation and
fair presentation of published  nancial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to  nancial statement preparation and presentation.
Sysco’s management assessed the effectiveness of Sysco’s internal control over  nancial reporting as of June 28, 2014. In making this assessment, it used
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992). Based
on this assessment, management concluded that, as of June 28, 2014, Sysco’s internal control over  nancial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Ernst & Young LLP has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of Sysco’s internal control over  nancial reporting as of June 28, 2014.
