Forward Guidance

PFG announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Core-Mark Holding Company, Inc. in a stock and cash transaction valued at $2.5 billion. The transaction is expected to close in late August or early September 2021.

  • Adds a complementary customer-centric operating model with consistent go-to-market selling cultures focused on customer service
  • Enhances attractive customer base and product offerings, building upon the company’s current foodservice focus within the convenience channel
  • Expected to be accretive to Adjusted Diluted EPS in the first full fiscal year following closing of the transaction, excluding expected cost synergies
  • Expected to generate approximately $40 million of annual net cost synergies, achieved by the third full year following the closing of the transaction

Challenges Ahead

  • The risk that, after the closing of the Proposed Core-Mark Acquisition, U.S antitrust authorities could continue to investigate the Proposed Core-Mark Acquisition and challenge the Proposed Core-Mark Acquisition
  • The possibility that certain conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Core-Mark Acquisition will not be satisfied or completed on a timely basis and accordingly the Proposed Core-Mark Acquisition may not be consummated on a timely basis or at all
  • Uncertainty as to the expected performance of the combined company following completion of the Proposed Core-Mark Acquisition
  • The possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from the Proposed Core-Mark Acquisition will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period
  • The risk that unexpected costs will be incurred in connection with the completion and/or integration of the Proposed Core-Mark Acquisition or that the integration of Core-Mark will be more difficult or time consuming than expected
