and
Raises Full Year EPS Guidance
***
Company Posts Continued Sales and Profit Growth Momentum

Philadelphia, August 11, 2014 - Aramark (NYSE:ARMK), the $14 billion global provider of award winning services in food, facilities management, and uniforms, today reported third quarter 2014 results with strong sales and profit growth and increased its earnings outlook for fiscal 2014.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Sales in the third quarter of $3.6 billion, with organic growth of 4%;
Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of $192.4 million up 10%, operating income of $141.3 million;
Adjusted earnings per share in the third quarter of $0.32, earnings per share of $0.19;
Sales year-to-date of $10.9 billion, with organic growth of 5%;
Adjusted operating income year-to-date of $649.7 million up 11%, operating income of $419.3 million;
2014 Adjusted Earnings per Share expectation increased to $1.45 - $1.50.


“I am pleased to report another quarter of strong business results achieved within a challenging consumer and economic environment,” said Eric J. Foss, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance reflects solid execution against a sound strategy and was broad-based across the segments and geographies of our portfolio. Based upon this strength and our overall business momentum, we are increasing our full-year 2014 earnings outlook.”

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Sales were $3.6 billion versus $3.5 billion in the third quarter of 2013, with organic growth of 4%. Adjusted operating income was $192.4 million versus $175.5 million in last year’s period, an increase of 10%.

Adjusted net income for the quarter was $77.8 million or $0.32 per share, versus adjusted net income of $59.4 million or $0.28 per share in the third quarter of 2013. The diluted share count in the third quarter was 243.7 million shares, up from 208.3 million shares in the same period last year, primarily as a result of the company’s initial public offering this past December.






On an as reported basis for the quarter, sales were $3.6 billion, operating income was $141.3 million, net income was $46.9 million and earnings per share were $0.19. Changes in currency rates from the prior year reduced sales and operating income in the quarter. A reconciliation of as reported financial measures to adjusted financial measures, including changes in currency translation rates is presented below. See “Non-GAAP Measures.”

THIRD QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS

Food and Support Services - North America
Sales in the Food and Support Services - North America segment were $2.5 billion, up 4% on an organic basis (up 3% on a reported basis) and adjusted operating income for the segment was up 10% (operating income up 31%). Sales growth in the Education, Healthcare and Sports, Leisure and Corrections sectors were particularly notable as new business wins continue to come online.

Food and Support Services - International
Sales in the Food and Support Services - International segment were $765.2 million, a 6% increase on an organic basis (up 5% on a reported basis) and adjusted operating income for the segment was up 22% (operating income up 28%). Growth in Europe showed continued improvement from the prior year and emerging markets continued to grow in the double digits during the third quarter. The company was proud to have served as the food service provider to 3 million fans at 12 different venues during the FIFA World Cup tournament in Brazil this quarter.

Uniform and Career Apparel
Sales in the Uniform and Career Apparel segment were $367.1 million, up 3% on an organic basis (up 3% on a reported basis) and adjusted operating income for the segment was up 8% (operating income up 32%). Profitability improvement in the segment was driven by ongoing sales growth and continuing merchandise and plant productivity initiatives.

Declaration of Dividend
On August 6, 2014, the company’s Board of Directors declared a 7.5 cent dividend per share of common stock, payable on September 9, 2014, to shareholders of record at the close of business August 19, 2014.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As of June 27, 2014, total debt was $5.7 billion, a reduction of approximately $525 million from the year prior. The company’s total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio has been reduced to 4.6x, from 5.3x in June 2013. Corporate liquidity remains strong, and as of quarter-end the company had $591.4 million of available borrowing capacity on its $770.0 million revolving credit facility.
  
OUTLOOK
The company has previously provided a multi-year annual framework that contemplates:

Organic Sales growth of 3% to 5% annually;
Adjusted Operating Income growth in the mid- to upper-single digits on a percentage basis, and;
Adjusted EPS growth in the low double digits on a percentage basis.

Based upon third quarter results, the company is raising its expected 53-week adjusted earnings per share range to $1.45 - $1.50 for fiscal 2014.

Selected Operational and Financial Metrics

Adjusted Sales (Organic)
Management believes that presentation of sales growth, adjusted to eliminate the effects of acquisitions and divestitures and the impact of currency translation, provides useful information to investors because it enhances comparability between the current year and prior year reporting periods. Elimination of the currency translation effect provides constant currency comparisons without the distortion of currency rate fluctuations.

Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related customer relationship intangible assets and depreciation of property and equipment resulting from the going-private transaction in 2007 (the "Transaction"); the impact of the change in fair value related to the gasoline and diesel agreements; severance and other charges; share-based compensation; the effects of acquisitions and divestitures and the impact of currency translation and other items impacting comparability.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted Operating Income further adjusted to exclude the impact of all other depreciation and amortization expense.

Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income represents net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of discontinued operations; the change in amortization of acquisition-related customer relationship intangible assets and depreciation of property and equipment resulting from the Transaction; the impact of changes in the fair value related to the gasoline and diesel agreements; severance and other charges; share-based compensation; the effects of acquisitions and divestitures and the impact of currency translation and other items impacting comparability, less the tax impact of these adjustments. Management believes that presentation of net income as adjusted is useful information to investors because we use such information when evaluating net income to better evaluate the underlying operating performance of the company.
We use Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income as supplemental measures of our operating profitability and to operate and control our cash operating costs to evaluate our performance. These financial metrics are not measurements of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. We believe the presentation of these metrics is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance. 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 U.S. GAAP. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to sales, operating income or net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, as presented by us, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect our current views as to future events and financial performance with respect to, without limitation, conditions in our industry, our operations, our economic performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business and growth strategy. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “outlook,” “aim,” “anticipate,” “are confident,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “see,” “look to” and other words and terms of similar meaning or the negative versions of such words.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include without limitation: unfavorable economic conditions; natural disasters, global calamities, sports strikes and other adverse incidents; the failure to retain current clients, renew existing client contracts and obtain new client contracts; a determination by clients to reduce their outsourcing or use of preferred vendors; competition in our industries; increased operating costs and obstacles to cost recovery due to the pricing and cancellation terms of our food and support services contracts; the inability to achieve cost savings through our cost reduction efforts; our expansion strategy; the failure to maintain food safety throughout our supply chain, food-borne illness concerns and claims of illness or injury; governmental regulations including those relating to food and beverages, the environment, wage and hour and government contracting; liability associated with noncompliance with applicable law or other governmental regulations; changes in, new interpretations of or changes in the enforcement of the government regulatory framework; currency risks and other risks associated with international operations, including Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K. Bribery Act and other anti-corruption law compliance; continued or further unionization of our workforce; liability resulting from our participation in multiemployer defined benefit pension plans; risks associated with suppliers from whom our products are sourced; disruptions to our relationship with, or to the business of, our primary distributor; the inability to hire and retain sufficient qualified personnel or increases in labor costs; healthcare reform legislation; the contract intensive nature of our business, which may lead to client disputes; seasonality; our leverage; the inability to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness; debt agreements that limit our flexibility in operating our business; potential conflicts of interest between certain of our controlling shareholders and us; and other factors set forth under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Business - Legal Proceedings” and “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections in our prospectus dated December 11, 2013, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act on December 12, 2013, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and which may be obtained by contacting Aramark’s investor relations department via its website www.aramark.com. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included herein or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by, or on behalf of, us. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, changes in our expectations, or otherwise, except as required by law.
