PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2024-- Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) today reported third quarter fiscal 2024 results.

“We continued our record-breaking performance in the third quarter, setting new highs in revenue and income for the Company,” said John Zillmer, Aramark’s Chief Executive Officer. “Third quarter organic revenue growth was broad-based, coming from virtually all lines of business and every country in the portfolio. Our multiple operating levers drove profitability as we scaled higher sales volume, managed costs effectively, and achieved supply chain efficiencies—all while benefiting from an inflation tailwind. Our performance is a testament to the extraordinary talent within our organization, which allows us to provide world-class hospitality services to clients while we focus on our ambitious path forward.”

1	Operating Income and GAAP EPS reported on a continuing operations basis
2	On a constant-currency basis; Adjusted EPS excludes the interest expense, net of tax, recorded during fiscal 2023 on the $1.5 billion Senior Notes due 2025 that were repaid in the current year

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Consolidated revenue was $4.4 billion in the third quarter, an 8% increase year-over-year, driven by strong base business volume, pricing, and net new business growth. The effect of currency translation reduced revenue by $116 million.

Organic revenue, which adjusts for the effect of currency translation, grew 11% compared to the prior year period.

	Revenue
	Q3 '24	Q3 '23	Change (%)	Organic Revenue Change (%)
FSS United States	$3,144M	$2,891M	9%	9%
FSS International	1,232	1,162	6%	16%
Total Company	$4,376M	$4,053M	8%	11%
Difference between Change (%) and Organic Revenue Change (%) reflects the impact of currency translation May not total due to rounding

• FSS United States revenue growth was led by 1) Sports & Entertainment from higher per capita spending and greater attendance levels in stadiums; 2) Business & Industry as a result of significant new client wins; 3) Education, particularly in Collegiate Hospitality, primarily from meal plan initiatives; and 4) enhanced commissary offerings within Corrections.
• FSS International revenue growth was broad-based, largely from ongoing base business growth and consistent net new business performance across geographies—particularly in the U.K., Canada, and Spain. Revenue on a GAAP basis reflected the effect of currency translation as referenced above.

Operating Income increased 22% year-over-year to $162 million, and AOI grew 21%² to $193 million, which represented an operating income margin increase of 42 basis points and an AOI margin increase of 38 basis points² year-over-year. Increased profitability continued to be driven by the Company’s ability to leverage higher revenue levels, disciplined control of operational costs, and supply chain efficiencies, as well as ongoing improvement of inflation trends. The impact of currency translation reduced operating income by $5 million.

	Operating Income				Adjusted Operating Income (AOI)
	Q3 '24	Q3 '23	Change (%)		Q3 '24	Q3 '23	Change (%)	Constant Currency Change (%)
FSS United States	$140M	$123M	13%		$164M	$144M	13%	14%

May not total due to rounding

Year-over-year profitability resulted from the following segment performance:

• FSS United States benefited from higher base business volume, the maturity of new business, operating cost management across the portfolio, and supply chain efficiencies, which more than offset the favorability in the prior year period associated with insurance related costs.
• FSS International achieved higher base business volume and net new business, along with effective control of operating costs and stronger supply chain economics.
• Corporate experienced higher employee incentive expenses.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Consistent with the historical seasonality of the business, net cash provided by operating activities increased $193 million in the third quarter to $141 million, and Free Cash Flow increased $198 million to a source of cash of $62 million. The $198 million year-over-year improvement in Free Cash Flow was driven by higher cash from operations and favorable working capital. At quarter-end, Aramark had over $1.1 billion in cash availability.

After quarter-end, Aramark proactively extended maturities and strengthened financial flexibility by closing a 5-year extension on its Revolving Credit Facility and Term A Loans, now due in August 2029. The Company also upsized its Revolving Credit Facility to $1.4 billion, increasing Aramark's cash availability by over $200 million.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION
The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of 9.5 cents per share of common stock, as announced on August 2, 2024. The dividend will be payable on September 3, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2024.

BUSINESS UPDATE
Aramark continued its top- and bottom-line momentum by delivering another quarter of strong financial results. Revenue growth was led by increased base business volume, pricing, and net new business. Profitability was driven by effective operational cost management, supply chain efficiencies, and the maturity of new business, along with improved inflation trends.

Aramark remains committed to strong organic revenue growth, margin expansion, adjusted EPS growth, and capital structure enhancement. Due to the significant revenue growth potential across the portfolio, combined with the Company's multiple operating levers, Aramark expects to achieve both its near-term outlook and longer-term financial targets.

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 2024 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.

As a result of Aramark's outperformance throughout fiscal 2024, the Company anticipates its full-year Outlook to be the following:

Organic Revenue Growth At ~ +10%

AOI Growth At ~ +20%

Adjusted EPS Growth At ~ +35%

Leverage At ~ 3.5x

Outlook in Q2 2024 Earnings Release: Organic Revenue ~ 9%, AOI +17% to +20%, and Adjusted EPS growth +30% to +35%

Constant Currency, except Leverage Ratio

“We are successfully executing on our strategic vision, enabling us to continue delivering for our clients, employees, partners, and shareholders,” Zillmer continued. “Given the substantial growth opportunities ahead, and our proven ability to capitalize on them—we are confident in our business momentum this fiscal year and beyond.”

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 change in 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 from continuing operations attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; severance and other charges; spin-off related charges; gain on sale of equity investments, net; the effect of debt repayments and repricings 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), Net of Interest Adjustment
Adjusted Net Income (Constant Currency), Net of Interest Adjustment represents Adjusted Net Income adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation and interest expense, net of tax, recorded during fiscal 2023 on the $1.5 billion Senior Notes due 2025 that were repaid in the current year.

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 and interest expense, net of tax, recorded during fiscal 2023 on the $1.5 billion Senior Notes due 2025 that were repaid in the current year.

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 of continuing operations 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, net of interest adjustment), 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 of continuing operations, 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.
