In 2020, there was a peak in the financial leverage ratio at 3.84, indicating a higher level of debt utilization compared to the surrounding years.

Overall, the downward trend in the financial leverage ratio from 2019 to 2023 indicates that Performance Food Group Co has been gradually reducing its financial risk and increasing its financial stability by either reducing debt levels or increasing equity in its capital structure.
