FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made herein are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They include statements about our ability to capitalize on opportunities moving forward because of our strong operating cash flow and balance sheet, our ability to improve operational efficiency and lower our cost structure by further refining our distribution systems to reduce miles driven and energy used, expectations that the realignment of our broadline structure, combined with changes in our leadership, will enhance our go-to-market strategy, allow us to more effectively implement our business transformation, strengthen customer relationships, improve our approach to future acquisitions and further develop our leaders, and our expectations regarding initiatives that will drive further productivity and profitability improvements.

These statements are based on management’s current expectations and estimates; actual results may differ materially. Our ability to capitalize on opportunities moving forward because of our strong operating cash flow and balance sheet may be impacted by unexpected changes in the various inputs that make up our financial statements, including sales, operating expenses and capital requirements, and our capital and operational needs may change based on general economic conditions and future strategic decisions regarding the best overall use of our resources. Our ability to improve operational efficiency and lower our cost structure by further refining our distribution systems to reduce miles driven and energy used may be impacted by higher than expected costs and other unforeseen issues with implementation associated with the refinement of our distribution systems, and our ability to lower the related cost structure may be impacted by rising fuel prices, labor issues and governmental regulation. Expectations regarding the realignment of our broadline structure and changes in our leadership may be impacted by difficulties in restructuring, which may prove more costly in the near-term than expected, and the transitions within our leadership team may create near-term inefficiencies related to new reporting structures and teams within our company’s management. Certain initiatives that are expected to drive further productivity and profitability improvements may take longer than expected to achieve and such improvements may be impacted by general economic conditions and actions by our suppliers, customers and competitors that are beyond our control. For a discussion of additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see the “Risk Factors” section of Sysco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2010, which is included in this Annual Report.
