Sysco's annual report confirms full-year FY2026 results and, more importantly, lays out the financing architecture for its transformative $29.1 billion Jetro Restaurant Depot acquisition. The company has secured a $19 billion bridge loan facility (reduced from $22 billion after a $3 billion term loan), paid $126 million in upfront fees, and recorded a $54 million loss on deal-contingent rate locks. The 10-K also reveals a new $3 billion revolving credit facility with an EBITDA-to-interest covenant of 3.0x, suspension of share repurchases, and FY2027 guidance including 6-7% sales growth and approximately $100 million in cost savings. These details quantify the leverage and integration costs investors will bear as the deal moves toward an expected close in the third quarter of fiscal 2027.
