December 31, 2024 calculation

Quick ratio = (Cash + Short-term investments + Receivables) ÷ Total current liabilities
= ($10,700K + $—K + $2,691,900K) ÷ $4,127,400K
= 0.65

Performance Food Group Co's quick ratio has shown significant fluctuations over the past few years. The quick ratio measures the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets.

From December 2019 to September 2021, the quick ratio remained very low, indicating a potential liquidity issue for the company during that period. However, from June 2022 onwards, there was a substantial improvement in the quick ratio, reaching above 0.65 consistently, which suggests a strengthening liquidity position for Performance Food Group Co.

The quick ratio exceeding 1 indicates that the company has more than enough liquid assets to cover its short-term liabilities. While Performance Food Group Co's quick ratio has improved significantly in recent quarters, investors and stakeholders should continue to monitor this ratio to ensure that the company maintains a healthy liquidity position in the future.
