Reports Q1 revenue $874.488M, consensus $833.25M. "First quarter 2024 business activity displayed typical seasonal cadence as revenue trends coming out of January increased steadily into February and March. Our business units, international and domestic, delivered strong new customer and placement growth during the first quarter and aggregate price inflation continued to trend in the low single digit range", said Christopher Pappas, Chairman and Chief Executive of the Company. "I would like to thank all our Chefs' Warehouse teams, from sales and operations to all the supporting functions, for delivering a great start to 2024. As we head into the second quarter and the rest of the year, I would also like to recognize our customer and supplier partners for their support and confidence in our people, diversity and quality of products, and our high-touch, flexible distribution platform."
