Aramark Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Results
***
Full Year Adjusted EPS Increased 10% on a Comparable Basis to $1.57
Full Year Adjusted Operating Margin 6.2%, a 30 Basis Point Increase
Board of Directors Increases Quarterly Dividend 10%
2016 Adjusted EPS Expected $1.65 to $1.75

Philadelphia, PA, November 18, 2015 - Aramark (NYSE:ARMK), a global leader in food, facilities management, and uniforms, today reported strong fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2015 results which generated a 13% increase in full year adjusted net income. The company provided an initial outlook for fiscal 2016, and also announced approval by the Board of Directors of a 10% increase in the company’s regular quarterly dividend.

Calendar Shift
As previously disclosed, the company’s fiscal calendar timing resulted in a 53 week year in the fourth quarter of 2014. As a result, the fourth quarter of 2015 was negatively impacted by approximately one week less of both sales and adjusted operating income vs the prior year, or approximately 7% for the quarter and 2% for the year. The 53rd week is estimated to have increased 2014 fourth quarter and full-year adjusted EPS by $0.02. The calculation of organic sales growth adjusts for the 53rd week and all references to organic growth in this release are to a comparable 52 week basis. Adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS have not been adjusted for the 53rd week.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

2015 sales of $14.3 billion with organic growth of 2%. Organic sales were flat in Q4;
2015 adjusted operating income rose to $881 million, Q4 adjusted operating income rose to $239 million. 2015 and Q4 GAAP operating income of $628 million and $154 million, respectively;
2015 and Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $1.57 and $0.44, respectively. 2015 and Q4 GAAP earnings per share of $0.96 and $0.23, respectively;
Board of Directors increases regular quarterly dividend to 9.5 cents per share

“The power of our clear and focused strategy, combined with our relentless focus on operational excellence, delivered strong returns for our shareholders," said Eric J. Foss, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strategic transformation is squarely on track and we expect to continue driving meaningful shareholder value by focusing on growth, innovation, brand building and operational excellence to capture productivity and deliver great customer experiences.”

The company experienced solid retention rates, strong new client wins and underlying base business expansion in the quarter. As previously disclosed, a large client non-renewal along with non-recurring facilities revenue reported in the fourth quarter of 2014, which totaled about 5% of total company sales in the quarter, reduced North American organic sales. The Education business experienced a particularly strong quarter as new account wins on-boarded during the back-to-school season. FSS International’s organic growth remained strong driven by expansion in Emerging Markets, especially China. Organic sales growth in the Uniform and Career Apparel segment accelerated to 5% as incremental capacity continued to come on-line.

In the fourth quarter the company continued to drive solid productivity gains from food and labor initiatives, particularly in its FSS North America base locations. Consistent with the company’s previously disclosed expectations, the lapping of certain start-up accounts as well as the phasing of reinvestment spending were also contributors to operating income growth versus the prior year. FSS International’s results reflect continued strong revenue and productivity trends, particularly in the emerging markets. The Uniform & Career Apparel segment achieved strong underlying profit expansion driven by revenue and productivity improvement, however this was offset in the quarter by temporary start-up costs associated with capacity expansion.

FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS SUMMARY
Adjusted net income was $110 million or $0.44 per share, versus adjusted net income of $91 million or $0.37 per share in the fourth quarter of 2014. The calendar shift is estimated to have increased fourth quarter 2015 earnings per share by $0.02. On a GAAP basis, sales were $3.5 billion, operating income was $154 million, net income attributable to Aramark stockholders was $57 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.23. This compares to the fourth quarter of 2014 where on a GAAP basis, sales were $3.9 billion, operating income was $145 million, net income attributable to Aramark stockholders was $44 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.18. The significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the prior year period decreased sales by approximately $130 million, operating income by $8 million and net income by $4 million ($0.02 in earnings per share) in the quarter.

FISCAL 2015 RESULTS
Sales were $14.3 billion, versus $14.8 billion in 2014, with organic growth of 2%. The calculation of organic growth includes an adjustment for 2014’s 53rd week of approximately $258 million, or approximately 2%, and adjusts for adverse currency translation of $471 million. Adjusted operating income was $881 million, versus $852 million in





2014 (which includes approximately $14 million related to the 53rd week). Adjusted net income was $387 million or $1.57 per share, versus adjusted net income of $344 million (which includes an estimated $5 million related to the 53rd week) or $1.45 per share (which includes an estimated $0.02 related to the 53rd week) in 2014. On a GAAP basis, sales were $14.3 billion, operating income was $628 million, net income attributable to Aramark stockholders was $237 million and earnings per share were $0.96.

DIVIDEND INCREASE & DECLARATION
In recognition of the company’s improving growth and profitability, the company’s Board of Directors is increasing the regular quarterly dividend by 10%, to 9.5 cents per share of common stock. The first quarter fiscal 2016 dividend, at the increased rate, will be payable on December 19, 2015, to stockholders of record at the close of business November 30, 2015.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As of October 2, 2015 the company’s total debt was $5.3 billion, representing a reduction of $152 million versus the prior year. Total debt to adjusted EBITDA decreased to 4.15x, an approximate 25 basis point improvement versus 2014. Corporate liquidity remains strong, and at year-end the company had approximately $645 million available on its revolving credit facility. The company generated $178 million of free cash flow in fiscal 2015, an improvement of approximately $300 million versus the prior year, inclusive of approximately $45 million of voluntary pension contributions made during the fourth quarter of 2015.

2016 OUTLOOK
Based upon the current foreign exchange rates, currency translation is estimated to be a $0.03 per share headwind to adjusted EPS in 2016, primarily in the first half of the year. Therefore, 2016 adjusted EPS is currently expected to be within a range of $1.65 to $1.75 per share.

Selected Operational and Financial Metrics

Adjusted Sales (Organic)
Management believes that presentation of sales growth, adjusted to eliminate the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, the impact of currency translation and the estimated impact of the 53rd week, 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 attributable to Aramark stockholders 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.

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,” “have confidence,” “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; disruptions to or breaches of our information security systems or compromises of data; failure to maintain effective internal controls; 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 in the “Risk Factors,” -“ Legal Proceedings” and “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2014 as such factors may be updated from time to time in our other 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.
