Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Aramark (the "Company") is a leading global provider of food, facilities and uniform services to education, healthcare, business & industry and sports, leisure & corrections clients. The Company's core market is the United States, which is supplemented by an additional 18-country footprint. The Company operates its business in three reportable segments that share many of the same operating characteristics: Food and Support Services United States ("FSS United States"), Food and Support Services International ("FSS International") and Uniform and Career Apparel ("Uniform"). See Note 12 for further discussion over the FSS United States reporting segment reclassification and name change.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 22, 2017. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 29, 2017 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company's business activities and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

New Accounting Standards Updates

Adopted Standards

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and simplify the application of hedge accounting. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the guidance in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, using the modified retrospective method as if the Company had adopted the standard as of the beginning of fiscal 2018. The guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill as part of the impairment test. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company will apply the guidance during its annual impairment test or earlier if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates potential impairment exists.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to address the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance)

In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification regarding guidance related to the financial instrument standard. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which allows for the reclassification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In September 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to provide additional implementation guidance with respect to the revenue recognition standard and the leases recognition standard. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the determination of the customer of the operation services in a service concession arrangement. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard in conjunction with the revenue recognition standard, as described below. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In February 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the accounting guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the definition of a business. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In October 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to recognize the income tax consequences of certain intercompany assets transfers at the transaction date. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to account for expected credit losses on financial instruments including trade receivables. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and to disclose key information about lease arrangements. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of reviewing its lease arrangements in order to determine the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Based on the assessment to date, the Company expects adoption of this standard to result in a material increase in lease-related assets and liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, but does not expect it to have a significant impact in its Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Under this guidance, equity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, are to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue from contracts with customers which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, but to permit entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose (i.e., the original effective date). The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In connection with the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company has completed its comprehensive contract review project, including contracts relating to its recent acquisitions, and its evaluation of the standard's impact on the timing and presentation of various financial aspects of its contractual arrangements. The Company is in the process of finalizing the documentation of the conclusions reached. Based on this assessment, the Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on the timing of revenue recognition or net income. The largest impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements will result from an increase in revenue within the Uniform segment for the reclassification of certain fees currently recognized as a reduction to “Cost of services provided” and employee commissions being capitalized and amortized over the expected customer relationship period. The Company has identified and is in the process of implementing appropriate changes to business processes, controls and systems to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The Company plans to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective transition method, resulting in the recognition of a cumulative translation adjustment in retained earnings as of September 29, 2018.

Acquisitions

ACQUISITIONS:

AmeriPride Services, Inc. ("AmeriPride") Acquisition

On January 19, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of AmeriPride, a uniform and linen rental and supply company in the U.S. and Canada, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("AmeriPride Merger Agreement") dated as of October 13, 2017, by and among the Company, AmeriPride, Timberwolf Acquisition Corporation, and Bruce M. Steiner, in his capacity as Stockholder Representative. Upon completion of the acquisition, AmeriPride became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its results will be included in the Company's Uniform segment. The total consideration paid for AmeriPride was $995.4 million, partially offset by $84.9 million of cash acquired. In order to finance the AmeriPride acquisition, the Company entered into a long-term financing agreement (see Note 5). During the nine month period ended June 29, 2018, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $12.7 million, included in "Selling and general corporate expenses," and $5.2 million of commitment fees, included in "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Consideration

The Company has accounted for the AmeriPride acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company has preliminarily allocated the purchase price for the transaction based upon the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase price upon finalization of the valuation for property and equipment and intangible assets. Any adjustments to the preliminary fair values will be made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments may have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position. For tax purposes, this acquisition is a taxable transaction.

Recognition and Measurement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value

The following tables summarize the preliminary fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):



Current assets	$	237,538
Noncurrent assets	960,035
Total assets	$	1,197,573

Current liabilities	$	135,427
Noncurrent liabilities	66,718
Total liabilities	$	202,145

Intangible Assets

The following table identifies the Company’s preliminary allocations of purchase price to the intangible assets acquired by category:



	Estimated Fair Value (in millions)		Weighted- Average Estimated Useful Life (in years)
Customer relationship assets	$	297.0	15
Trade names		24.0	3	to indefinite
Total intangible assets	$	321.0

The estimated fair value of the customer relationship assets was determined using the “multi-period excess earnings method” which considers the present value of net cash flows expected to be generated by the customer relationships, excluding any cash flows related to contributory assets. The estimated fair value of the two trade names acquired were determined using the “relief-from-royalty method” which considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that are expected to be avoided as a result of the trademarks being owned.

Goodwill

The Company recorded approximately $363.2 million of goodwill in connection with its preliminary purchase price allocation relating to the AmeriPride acquisition, all of which was recognized in the Uniform reporting segment. Factors that contributed to the Company’s preliminary recognition of goodwill include the Company’s intent to expand and complement its existing uniform business and to enhance its customer service experience, in addition to the anticipated synergies the Company expects to generate from the acquisition. Goodwill related to the AmeriPride acquisition may be revised upon final determination of the purchase price allocation.

Avendra, LLC ("Avendra") Acquisition

On December 11, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Avendra, a hospitality procurement services provider in North America, which included the merger of Capital Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Avendra, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Avendra Merger Agreement") dated as of October 13, 2017, by and among Aramark Services, Inc. (“ASI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Avendra, Capital Merger Sub, LLC, and Marriott International, Inc., in its capacity as Holder Representative. Avendra continued as the surviving entity of the merger and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company whose financial results are included within the FSS United States reporting segment from December 11, 2017. The total consideration paid for Avendra was $1,386.4 million, partially offset by $87.3 million of cash and restricted investments acquired. In order to finance the Avendra acquisition, the Company entered into a long-term financing agreement (see Note 5). During the nine month period ended June 29, 2018, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $11.5 million, included in "Selling and general corporate expenses," and $6.7 million of commitment fees, included in "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Consideration

The Company has accounted for the Avendra acquisition as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company has preliminarily allocated the purchase price for the transaction based upon the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase price upon finalization of management's review of the final purchase price allocations. These adjustments may have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position. For tax purposes, this acquisition is a taxable transaction.

Recognition and Measurement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed at Fair Value

The following tables summarize the preliminary fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):



Current assets	$	157,675
Noncurrent assets	1,343,035
Total assets	$	1,500,710

Current liabilities	$	108,384
Noncurrent liabilities	5,949
Total liabilities	$	114,333

Intangible Assets

The following table identifies the Company’s preliminary allocations of purchase price to the intangible assets acquired by category:

The estimated fair value of the customer relationship assets was determined using the “multi-period excess earnings method” which considers the present value of net cash flows expected to be generated by the customer relationships, excluding any cash flows related to contributory assets. The estimated fair value of the trade name was determined using the “relief-from-royalty method” which considers the discounted estimated royalty payments that are expected to be avoided as a result of the trademarks being owned.

Goodwill

The Company recorded approximately $528.0 million of goodwill in connection with its preliminary purchase price allocation relating to the Avendra acquisition, all of which was recognized in the FSS United States reporting segment. Factors that contributed to the Company’s preliminary recognition of goodwill include the Company’s intent to expand its buying scale through Avendra’s procurement capabilities and to expand its customer base outside of its traditional industries, in addition to the anticipated synergies the Company expects to generate from the acquisition. Goodwill related to the Avendra acquisition may be revised upon final determination of the purchase price allocation.

Combined Sales and Earnings for AmeriPride and Avendra

Included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018 were combined sales from AmeriPride and Avendra of approximately $184.7 million and $338.0 million, respectively, related to these entities. Combined net income for the results of AmeriPride and Avendra was $12.6 million for the three months ended June 29, 2018, which excludes the impact of the increased interest expense incurred from the financing of the acquisitions.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations for AmeriPride and Avendra

The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018 for the Company, assuming the closing of both acquisitions occurred on October 1, 2016:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to an impairment test that the Company conducts annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows.

Changes in total goodwill during the nine months ended June 29, 2018 follow (in thousands):



Segment	September 29, 2017		Acquisitions		Translation			June 29, 2018
FSS United States	$	3,493,756	$	532,201	$	—		$	4,025,957

	$	4,715,511	$	905,713	$	(14,990	)	$	5,606,234

During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, $173.3 million of goodwill related to certain Canadian businesses was reclassified out of the FSS United States segment and into the FSS International segment (see Note 12), which is reflected in the opening balance as of September 29, 2017. Goodwill related to the acquisitions made during the nine months ended June 29, 2018 may be revised upon final determination of the purchase price allocation (see Note 2).

Other intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

During the nine months ended June 29, 2018, the Company acquired customer relationship assets and trade names with preliminary values of approximately $887.0 million and $246.0 million, respectively. Customer relationship assets are being amortized principally on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, 5 to 24 years, with a weighted average life of approximately 15 years. The Aramark and a majority of the other trade names are indefinite lived intangible assets and are not amortizable but are evaluated for impairment at least annually. Other intangible asset values related to the acquisitions made during the nine months ended June 29, 2018 may be revised upon final determination of the purchase price allocation (see Note 2).

Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the nine months ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was approximately $82.3 million and $66.3 million, respectively.

Term Loan B due 2024 and Yen Term Loan due 2022

On May 24, 2018, ASI, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into Amendment No. 5 ("Amendment No. 5") to the Credit Agreement dated March 28, 2017 (as supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and last amended by Incremental Amendment No. 4 on May 11, 2018, Incremental Amendment No. 3 on February 28, 2018, Incremental Amendment No. 2 on December 11, 2017 and Incremental Amendment No. 1 on September 20, 2017, which replaced the existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally dated January 26, 2007 and last amended and restated on February 24, 2014 (the "Previous Credit Agreement"). Amendment No. 5 changed the applicable interest rate on the outstanding borrowings related to the U.S. dollar denominated Term Loan B due 2024 ("U.S. Term Loan B due 2024"). As a result of the amendment, the applicable margin on the U.S. Term Loan due 2024 was changed from 2.00% for borrowings based on the LIBOR rate to 1.75% and from 1.00% for borrowings based on the base rate to 0.75%. There were no other material changes to the terms of the U.S. Term Loan B due 2024.

On May 11, 2018, ASI entered into Incremental Amendment No. 4 ("Incremental Amendment No. 4") to the Credit Agreement. Incremental Amendment No. 4 changed the applicable interest rate on the outstanding borrowings related to the Yen denominated Term Loan due 2022 ("Yen Term Loan due 2022"). As a result of the amendment, the applicable margin on the Yen Term Loan due 2022 was changed from 1.75% to 1.50%. All other terms related to the Yen Term Loan due 2022 remained unchanged.

Canadian Term Loan A-1 due 2023

On February 28, 2018, ASI entered into Incremental Amendment No. 3 (“Incremental Amendment No. 3”) to the Credit Agreement. Incremental Amendment No. 3 provides for an incremental, senior secured credit facility under the Credit Agreement comprised of a Canadian dollar denominated term loan made to Aramark Canada Limited ("ACL"), a company organized under the laws of Canada and an indirect subsidiary of ASI in an amount equal to CAD200 million (approximately $146.6 million as of June 29, 2018) due on February 28, 2023 (the "Canadian Term Loan A-1 due 2023").

The net proceeds from the Canadian Term Loan A-1 due 2023 were used to pay down certain borrowings on the revolving credit facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the consummation of Incremental Amendment No. 3.

The Canadian Term Loan A-1 due 2023 bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a Bank Act of Canada rate determined by reference to offered rates for bankers' acceptances, increased by 0.10% depending on the lender party or (b) a base rate or Canadian base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate of the administrative agent and (2) the Bank Act of Canada rate plus 1.00% plus an applicable margin set initially at 1.75% for borrowings based on the Bank Act of Canada rate and 0.75% for borrowings based on the Canadian base rate, in each case, subject to a reduction of 0.125% per each decline of 0.50 to 1.00 in the Company's consolidated leverage ratio from 4.75 to 1.00. Accordingly, the applicable margin spread for the Canadian Term Loan A-1 due 2023 is 1.25% to 1.75% (as of June 29, 2018 - 1.75%) with respect to Bank Act of Canada borrowings, subject to a floor of 0.00%, and 0.25% to 0.75% (as of June 29, 2018 - 0.75%) with respect to Canadian base rate borrowings, subject to a floor of 0.00%.

The Canadian Term Loan A-1 requires the payment of installments in quarterly principal amounts of CAD2.5 million from March 31, 2018 through December 31, 2019, CAD3.75 million from March 31, 2020 through December 31, 2020, CAD5.0 million from March 31, 2021 through December 31, 2021, CAD7.5 million from March 31, 2022 through December 31, 2022, and CAD115.0 million at maturity. The Canadian Term Loan A-1 is subject to substantially similar terms currently relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s existing term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

5.000% Senior Notes due 2028

On January 18, 2018, ASI issued $1,150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due February 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). The net proceeds from the 2028 Notes were used to finance the AmeriPride acquisition, to pay down certain borrowings under the revolving credit facility and to pay fees related to the transaction. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately $14.2 million directly attributable to the 2028 Notes, which are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The 2028 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 18, 2018 (the "2028 Notes Indenture"), entered into by and among ASI, the Company and certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors, and the U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2028 Notes were issued at par.

The 2028 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ASI. The 2028 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the Issuer's existing and future senior indebtedness and will rank senior in right of payment to the Issuer's future subordinated indebtedness. The 2028 Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of ASI. The guarantees of the 2028 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the senior obligations of such guarantor. The 2028 Notes are effectively subordinated to all of ASI's existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of ASI's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2028 Notes. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2018.

At any time prior to February 1, 2023, ASI has the option to redeem all or a part of the 2028 Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such 2028 Notes plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of redemption. Prior to February 1, 2021, ASI has the option to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of all 2028 Notes at a purchase price equal to 105% of the principal amount of such 2028 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, provided that at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes originally issued remain outstanding immediately after the purchase.

The 2028 Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting ASI's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; create certain liens; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; limit the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make payments to ASI; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of ASI's and its restricted subsidiaries assets; and designate ASI's subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2028 Notes Indenture also provides for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the applicable series of 2028 Notes to become or to be declared due and payable. Further, a failure to pay any obligations under the 2028 Notes Indenture as they become due or any event causing amounts to become due prior to their stated maturity could result in a cross-default and potential acceleration of the Company’s other outstanding debt obligations.

U.S. Term Loan B due 2025

On December 11, 2017, ASI entered into Incremental Amendment No. 2 (“Incremental Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement. Incremental Amendment No. 2 provides for an incremental senior secured credit facility under the Credit Agreement comprised of a U.S. dollar denominated term loan made to ASI in an amount equal to $1,785.0 million, due on March 11, 2025. On June 12, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment No. 6") to the Credit Agreement, which changed the applicable interest rate on the outstanding U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 borrowings (see below for further discussion). There were no other material changes to the terms of the U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 as a result of Amendment No. 6.

The net proceeds from the U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 were used to finance the Avendra acquisition and, together with approximately $200.0 million of proceeds from a borrowing made under the Credit Agreement’s revolving credit facility, to repay the $633.8 million of principal outstanding on the U.S. Term Loan A under the Credit Agreement, along with accrued interest and certain fees and related expenses. The Company recorded $5.7 million of charges to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended June 29, 2018 for the write-off of debt issuance costs.

The Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately $8.9 million directly attributable to the U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 under the Credit Agreement, which are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 30, 2018.

The U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in U.S. dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the LIBOR rate plus 1.00% plus an applicable margin set initially at 2.00% for borrowings based on the LIBOR rate and 1.00% for borrowings based on the base rate, in each case, subject to a reduction of 0.25% upon compliance by the Company with a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. As a result of Amendment No. 6, the applicable margin was changed from 2.00% for borrowings based on the eurocurrency (LIBOR) rate to 1.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.00%, and from 1.00% for borrowings based on the base rate to 0.75%, subject to a minimum base rate of 0.00%.

The Company is required to make quarterly principal repayments on the U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 in quarterly amounts of 1.00% per annum of the funded total principal amount and is subject to substantially similar terms relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s existing U.S. Term Loan B due 2024 outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Future Maturities

At June 29, 2018, annual maturities on long-term borrowings maturing between fiscal years 2018 and 2022 and thereafter (excluding the $60.5 million reduction to long-term borrowings from debt issuance costs and the increase of $13.0 million from the premium on the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes")) are as follows (in thousands):

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into contractual derivative arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations, foreign currency exposures and exposure to fluctuating gasoline and diesel fuel prices. Derivative instruments utilized during the period include interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and gasoline and diesel fuel agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each quarter. The counterparties to the Company's contractual derivative agreements are all major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company has approximately $2.7 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of June 29, 2018, which fixes the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings through the first quarter of fiscal 2023. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company entered into approximately $1.6 billion notional amount of interest rate swap agreements to hedge the cash flow risk of variability in interest payments on variable rate borrowings. In addition, interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $450.0 million matured during the nine months of fiscal 2018, respectively.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. As of June 29, 2018 and September 29, 2017, approximately $31.8 million and ($6.8) million of unrealized net of tax gains (losses) related to the interest rate swaps were included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," respectively.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

The Company entered into a series of pay fixed/receive floating gasoline and diesel fuel agreements based on the Department of Energy weekly retail on-highway index in order to limit its exposure to price fluctuations for gasoline and diesel fuel. As of June 29, 2018, the Company has contracts for approximately 10.5 million gallons outstanding through fiscal 2019. The Company does not record its gasoline and diesel fuel agreements as hedges for accounting purposes. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts was a gain of approximately $0.1 million and a gain of approximately $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018, respectively. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts was a loss of approximately $2.6 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The change in fair value for unsettled contracts is included in "Selling and general corporate expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. When the contracts settle, the gain or loss is recorded to"Costs of services provided" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of June 29, 2018, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €40.0 million and £6.0 million to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on short-term intercompany loans to certain international subsidiaries. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in income as the contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, substantially offsetting currency transaction gains and losses on the short-term intercompany loans.

Income Taxes	Jun. 29, 2018
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES: On December 22, 2017, “H.R.1,” commonly referred to as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Tax Legislation”) was signed into U.S. law. The Tax Legislation, which was effective on January 1, 2018, significantly revises the U.S. tax code by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% and implementing a territorial tax system that includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Though certain key aspects of the new law are effective January 1, 2018 and have an immediate accounting impact, other significant provisions are not effective or may not result in accounting implications for the Company until fiscal year-end September 28, 2018 or after. The impact of the corporate income tax rate change is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending September 28, 2018. The legislation requires the Company to use a blended rate for its fiscal 2018 tax year by applying a prorated percentage of days before and after the January 1, 2018 effective date. As a result, the Company's 2018 annual statutory rate has been reduced to 24.5%. As a result of the enactment of the Tax Legislation, the Company was required to recognize the effect of the corporate income tax rate change on its deferred tax assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the period in which the legislation was enacted. The Company recorded a provisional tax benefit from corporate income tax rate change and certain other adjustments, which resulted in a noncash benefit to the provision for income taxes of approximately $207.5 million, which was recorded to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. A corresponding reduction to the Company's deferred income tax liability was also recorded to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This was the Company’s provisional estimate and will be subject to adjustment as the computations are finalized. The Tax Legislation also requires the Company to pay a one-time transition tax on unremitted earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company recorded a provisional estimate of the tax expense of approximately $2.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the one time transition tax, net of foreign tax credits. As a result of the Tax Legislation, the Company re-assessed the ability to recover its $21.2 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards. Based on currently available information, the Company believes it will not generate sufficient foreign source income in the carryforward period to utilize these credits. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $21.2 million against its foreign tax credit carryforward during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, as a provisional estimate. The Tax Legislation contains additional international provisions which may impact the Company prospectively, including the tax on “Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income” (“GILTI”). The Company is currently unable to provide a reasonable provisional estimate as to whether additional deferred tax assets and liabilities should be recognized for basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years, pending clarification of interpretive issues and the availability of the necessary information to develop a reasonable estimate. Accordingly, the Company has yet to determine whether GILTI tax should be recorded as a period expense or measured as a deferred tax asset or liability. However, the Company does not believe the impact will be material. As the result of the one-time transition tax on unremitted foreign earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the shift from a worldwide system of taxation to a participation exemption system, the Company generally will not incur additional U.S. tax liability on the distribution of unremitted foreign earnings. However, other items continue to trigger additional tax expense for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded, including Section 986(c) currency gain/loss, foreign withholding taxes and state taxes. As a result, the Company has performed a preliminary assessment of its indefinite reinvestment position, pending further analysis and expected guidance around newly enacted legislation of U.S. taxation of foreign multinational companies, including the transition tax, GILTI and the potential tax liabilities attributable to repatriation under the Tax Legislation. Accordingly, the provisional estimate of undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liability was recorded amounted to approximately $71.6 million as of June 29, 2018. The provisional estimate of foreign withholding tax cost associated with remitting these earnings is approximately $3.9 million. Such amount has not been accrued by the Company as it believes those foreign earnings are permanently reinvested. The Tax Legislation also contains limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and certain executive compensation, that are not expected to impact the Company until fiscal years ending after September 28, 2018. The Company continues to evaluate their impact on its consolidated financial statements. The provisional amounts are based on information available at this time and subject to change due to several factors, including, finalization of the Company’s annual financial closing and reporting processes, management’s further assessment of the Tax Legislation and related regulatory guidance, guidance that may be issued and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Legislation. The Company is in the process of finalizing these provisional calculations, and will continue to evaluate the effect of tax reform on its financial results. Additional details will be included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2018. The Company filed the fiscal 2017 federal income tax return in the fourth quarter of 2018, which included several accounting method changes that impact the income tax payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Management is analyzing the results and will record the tax impact in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Certain of the Company's lease arrangements, primarily vehicle leases, with terms of one to eight years, contain provisions related to residual value guarantees. The maximum potential liability to the Company under such arrangements was approximately $119.5 million at June 29, 2018 if the terminal fair value of vehicles coming off lease was zero. Consistent with past experience, management does not expect any significant payments will be required pursuant to these arrangements. No amounts have been accrued for guarantee arrangements at June 29, 2018. From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are a party to various legal actions, proceedings and investigations involving claims incidental to the conduct of their business, including actions by clients, consumers, employees, government entities and third parties, including under federal, state, international, national, provincial and local employment laws, wage and hour laws, discrimination laws, immigration laws, human health and safety laws, import and export controls and customs laws, environmental laws, false claims or whistleblower statutes, minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise statutes, tax codes, antitrust and competition laws, consumer protection statutes, procurement regulations, intellectual property laws, food safety and sanitation laws, cost and accounting principles, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, other anti-corruption laws, lobbying laws, motor carrier safety laws, data privacy and security laws and alcohol licensing and service laws, or alleging negligence and/or breaches of contractual and other obligations. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

BUSINESS SEGMENTS:

Prior to fiscal 2018, the Company reported its operating results in three reportable segments: FSS North America, FSS International and Uniform. Beginning in fiscal 2018, the segment reporting structure was modified to align more closely with the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, which was changed on September 30, 2017. Specifically, a majority of the Canadian operations, previously in the FSS North America segment, were combined with the FSS International reportable segment. The FSS North America reportable segment was then renamed the FSS United States reportable segment. All prior period segment information has been restated to reflect the new reportable segment structure. Management believes this new presentation enhances the utility of the segment information, as it reflects the Company’s current management structure and operating organization. The financial statement effect of this segment realignment was not material. Corporate includes general expenses not specifically allocated to an individual segment and share-based compensation expense (see Note 9). In the Company's food and support services segments, approximately 80% of the global sales is related to food services and 20% is related to facilities services. Financial information by segment follows (in millions):

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are defined as follows:


•	Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets


•	Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument


•	Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. In conjunction with the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio, the gross values would not be materially different. The fair value of the Company's debt at June 29, 2018 and September 29, 2017 was $7,865.2 million and $5,450.1 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt at June 29, 2018 and September 29, 2017 was $7,870.3 million and $5,268.5 million, respectively. The fair values were computed using market quotes, if available, or based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates as of the end of the respective periods. The inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company's debt have been classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy levels.

- Definition
