On Monday,
Sysco CorporationSYY reported third quarter 2014 results.
Sysco's president and CEO Bill DeLaney commented, “Third quarter sales growth was modest due to the impact of severe weather and lower levels of inflation compared to the prior year. However, March sales and gross profit year-over-year trends were significantly stronger compared to January and February as demand rebounded with improved weather and locally-managed sales strengthened. In addition, while we experienced cost pressure in our delivery area, continued progress in implementing our Business Transformation initiatives drove lower year-over-year operating expense per case in our Broadline segment.”
