Sysco Q1 profit jumps 17.2% but misses estimates

Sysco Corp. (SYY) reported a 17.2% jump in earnings for the first quarter helped by lower income taxes as well as higher sales from the US Foodservice segment. However, the results missed analysts’ expectations. Following this, the stock fell over 9% in the early trade.

Net income climbed 17.2% to $431 million and earnings jumped 17.4% to $0.81 per share. Non-GAAP earnings soared 22.4% to $0.91 per share.

Sales rose 3.9% to $15.2 billion helped by a 5.6% growth in the US Foodservice Operations sales. Sales from International Foodservice Operations rose 0.6% as foreign exchange negatively impacted sales by 0.4%. Sales from Sygma declined 1.2% while other sales increased 6.2%.
