Kevin Hourican, chair and CEO of Sysco, has recently discussed the company’s proposed $29 billion acquisition of Jetro Restaurant Depot, a cash-and-carry wholesaler for restaurants. In interviews and earnings calls, Hourican stated that Sysco does not intend to raise prices at Restaurant Depot locations, arguing that doing so would harm the business and reduce revenue and profit. He described the deal as an opportunity to expand Restaurant Depot’s model to new geographies, create jobs, and improve affordability for customers, and expressed confidence that the acquisition will receive regulatory approval. Hourican also cited examples of potential synergies, such as using Restaurant Depot stores for emergency fill-in orders for delivery customers, and mentioned that The Cheesecake Factory has expressed interest in that capability. Hourican also addressed Sysco’s financial performance and outlook. He noted that the company reported a top- and bottom-line beat in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, with revenue up 4.7% to $22.1 billion, and guided to 9–11% earnings per share growth for fiscal 2027. He highlighted 3.3% local volume growth in the U.S. business as the strongest quarter in three years. Regarding the acquisition’s financing, Hourican said Sysco is confident in its ability to reduce debt quickly using cash flow from both businesses, and he projected that the combined company would see revenue grow 20%, EBITDA grow 45%, and free cash flow grow 55%.
