THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Consolidated revenue was $4.6 billion in the third quarter, a 6% increase year-over-year, driven by growth in both net new business and base business, and the favorable effect of currency translation of approximately $21 million. Organic revenue growth, which excludes the effect of currency translation, was higher by more than 5% compared to the same year-ago period. The growth in revenue more than offset the prior year portfolio exits in Facilities and fewer events at arenas, primarily from the timing of concerts, within the FSS United States segment. This was the final quarter where revenue in the prior year included the aforementioned portfolio exits, which are now behind the Company.

Difference between Change (%) and Organic Revenue Change (%) reflected the impact of currency translation
  • FSS United States revenue growth was led by 1) Business & Industry from higher participation rates, new client wins, and expanded micro-market and vending services; 2) Education from increased volume in meal plans and additional operating days from a calendar shift within Collegiate Hospitality; and 3) Sports, Leisure, & Corrections from new business wins as well as higher per cap spending in Major League Baseball stadiums—which more than offset the items referenced above. Revenue and organic revenue growth would have been more than 2% higher if not for these items.
  • FSS International revenue growth was broad-based across nearly all countries, primarily from ongoing base business growth and net new business performance—with the U.K., Chile, Canada, and Spain driving the increase. Revenue on a GAAP basis benefited from the favorable effect of currency translation.

Operating Income increased 13% year-over-year to $183 million, and AOI grew 19%1 to $230 million, representing an operating income margin increase of 20 basis points and an AOI margin increase of 60 basis points1 compared to the prior year. Profitability growth was due to Aramark’s higher revenue levels, expanded supply chain capabilities, and disciplined above-unit cost management. The effect of currency translation increased operating income by approximately $1 million.

Year-over-year profitability and margin expansion for the Company resulted from the following segment performance:

  • FSS United States increased due to higher base business volume, disciplined above-unit cost management, and AI-driven supply chain productivity, which provided additional sourcing spend visibility and contributed to enhanced purchasing decisions at the client site level. Profitability growth was led by the Education and Business & Industry sectors.
  • FSS International experienced higher base business volume and strengthened supply chain economics from revenue growth, which more than offset labor expenses from additional observed holidays in the quarter, including in China, as well as the prior year period benefiting from the Men’s European Football Championships in Germany.

    Operating Income also included severance charges that were excluded from AOI related to restructuring initiatives.
  • Corporate expenses decreased from lower share-based compensation expense.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter was $77 million and free cash flow was a use of cash of $34 million, in line with the quarterly seasonal cadence of the business. Aramark believes the typical seasonality of the business will generate a large cash inflow in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by Collegiate Hospitality and Sports & Entertainment, resulting in higher Net cash provided by operating activities and Free Cash Flow.

In the third quarter, the Company proactively repaid approximately $62 million of Term Loan B due June 2030 and repurchased approximately $31 million of its common stock. Since the authorization of Aramark's share repurchase program in November 2024, the Company has repurchased nearly 4 million of its shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $140 million. At quarter-end, Aramark had over $1.4 billion in cash availability.

The Company's capital allocation commitment remains to strategically invest in the business to drive and propel growth; repay debt on an ongoing basis, with leverage expected to reach around 3.0x by the end of fiscal 2025 and even lower thereafter; pay quarterly dividends; and utilize excess cash generation to opportunistically repurchase Aramark stock.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION
Aramark's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of 10.5 cents per share of common stock, as announced on July 23, 2025. The dividend will be payable on August 20, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2025.

BUSINESS UPDATE
Aramark is gaining strong business momentum from prominent new client wins, expanded base business volume, and client retention rates currently exceeding 97% across both FSS US and International. Based on the Net New Business performance through the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, Aramark believes it is on pace to achieve the high end of its 4% to 5% target—with the ability to potentially surpass it. Revenue performance in the fourth quarter is expected to benefit from ongoing base business expansion and net new business across all sectors in the FSS United States segment and every geography in the FSS International segment.

The Company projects ongoing profitability growth from the consistent execution of its key operating levers, including supply chain capabilities, operational cost management, and the maturity of new business. Aramark is effectively managing the current macro-environment and believes its business model is well positioned from any heightened volatility.

OUTLOOK
The Company provides its expectations for organic revenue growth, Adjusted Operating Income growth (constant currency), Adjusted Earnings per Share growth (constant currency), and Net Debt to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA ("Leverage Ratio") on a non-GAAP basis, and does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for the effect of currency translation. The fiscal 2025 outlook reflects management's current assumptions regarding numerous evolving factors that are difficult to accurately predict, including those discussed in the Risk Factors set forth in the Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company continues to anticipate its full-year performance for fiscal 2025 as reflected below, based on the expected timing of commencing operations from new business, including certain large clients.

Selected Operational and Financial Metrics

Adjusted Revenue (Organic)

Adjusted Revenue (Organic) represents revenue adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation.

Adjusted Operating Income

Adjusted Operating Income represents operating income adjusted to eliminate the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; severance and other charges; spin-off related charges and other items impacting comparability.

Adjusted Operating Income (Constant Currency)

Adjusted Operating Income (Constant Currency) represents Adjusted Operating Income adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income represents net income attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; severance and other charges; spin-off related charges; the effect of debt repayments and refinancings on interest expense, net, and other items impacting comparability, less the tax impact of these adjustments. The tax effect for Adjusted Net Income for our United States earnings is calculated using a blended United States federal and state tax rate. The tax effect for Adjusted Net Income in jurisdictions outside the United States is calculated at the local country tax rate.

Adjusted Net Income (Constant Currency)

Adjusted Net Income (Constant Currency) represents Adjusted Net Income adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Adjusted EPS (Constant Currency)

Adjusted EPS (Constant Currency) represents Adjusted EPS adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation.

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA represents net income from continuing operations attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted for interest expense, net; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization and certain other items as defined in our debt agreements required in calculating covenant ratios and debt compliance. We also use Net Debt for our ratio to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as total long-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow represents net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less net purchases of property and equipment and other. Management believes that the presentation of free cash flow provides useful information to investors because it represents a measure of cash flow available for distribution among all the security holders of the Company.

We use Adjusted Revenue (Organic), Adjusted Operating Income (including on a constant currency basis), Adjusted Net Income (including on a constant currency basis), Adjusted EPS (including on a constant currency basis), Covenant Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow as supplemental measures of our operating profitability and to control our cash operating costs. We believe these financial measures are useful to investors because they enable better comparisons of our historical results and allow our investors to evaluate our performance based on the same metrics that we use to evaluate our performance and trends in our results. These financial metrics are not measurements of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Our presentation of these metrics has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share or net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Revenue (Organic), Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow as presented by us may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations.

Explanatory Notes to the Non-GAAP Schedules

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets - adjustments to eliminate the impact of amortization expense recognized on acquisition-related intangible assets.
Severance and Other Charges - adjustments to eliminate severance expenses in the applicable period ($12.7 million for both the third quarter and year-to-date 2025 and $6.2 million for year-to-date 2024).
Spin-off Related Charges - adjustments to eliminate charges related to the Company's prior year spin-off of the Uniform segment, including accounting and legal related expenses, third party advisory costs and other costs. Adjustment also eliminates charitable contribution expense for the contribution of Vestis shares to a donor advised fund in order to fund charitable contributions ($8.8 million for year-to-date 2024).
Gains, Losses and Settlements impacting comparability - adjustments to eliminate certain transactions that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance, primarily for expense for contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisition earn outs ($11.1 million for year-to-date 2025 and $0.5 million for year-to-date 2024), charges related to hyperinflation in Argentina ($1.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, $3.0 million for year-to-date 2025, $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $5.2 million for year-to-date 2024), legal charges related to an anti-trust review ($1.1 million for both the third quarter and year-to-date 2025) and non-cash charges related to the impairment of a trade name ($3.3 million for both the third quarter and year-to-date 2024).
Effect of Debt Repayments and Refinancings on Interest Expense, net - adjustments to eliminate expenses associated with the repayment of borrowings and refinancings by the Company in the applicable period such as charges related to the payment of a call premium ($23.9 million for year-to-date 2024), non-cash charges for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts ($2.5 million for year-to-date 2025 and $9.1 million for year-to-date 2024) and the payment of third party costs ($5.8 million for year-to-date 2025 and $0.4 million for year-to-date 2024).
Tax Impact of Adjustments to Adjusted Net Income - adjustments to eliminate the net tax impact of the adjustments to Adjusted Net Income calculated based on a blended United States federal and state tax rate for United States adjustments and the local country tax rate for adjustments in jurisdictions outside the United States. Adjustment also eliminates the tax related impact of the Company's prior year spin-off of the Uniform segment, including a valuation allowance recorded based on the Company's ability to utilize foreign tax credits ($7.1 million charge for year-to-date 2024), non-deductible transaction costs ($3.6 million charge for year-to-date 2025 and $2.6 million charge for year-to-date 2024) and the restatement of the Company's deferred tax position ($1.9 million benefit for year-to-date 2024). Additionally, the adjustment reverses the release of a valuation allowance recorded at a foreign subsidiary ($3.1 million benefit for the third quarter of 2025 and $11.6 million benefit for year-to-date 2025) and eliminates the impact of the state tax treatment related to the sale of a minority interest ($4.4 million charge for year-to-date 2025).
Effect of Currency Translation - adjustments to eliminate the impact that fluctuations in currency translation rates had on the comparative results by presenting the periods on a constant currency basis. Assumes constant foreign currency exchange rates based on the rates in effect for the prior year period being used in translation for the comparable current year period.
