SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Consolidated revenue was $4.3 billion in the second quarter, a 2% increase year-over-year, with Organic revenue growth of 3% compared to the prior year period. Revenue and organic revenue growth would have been approximately 3% higher if not for the following items within the FSS United States segment: 1) prior year portfolio exits in Facilities; 2) fewer operating days due to a calendar shift at several universities in the Education sector; and 3) certain temporary weather-related client site closures that occurred, primarily in the Southeast. The effect of currency translation reduced revenue by $51 million.

Difference between Change (%) and Organic Revenue Change (%) reflected the impact of currency translation

  • FSS United States revenue growth was driven by 1) Business & Industry from higher participation rates, new client wins, and additional micro-market and vending services; 2) Corrections from strong base and new business wins; and 3) Avendra from net new business and base business within procurement services—which more than offset the items referenced above. Revenue and organic revenue growth would have been approximately 3% higher if not for these items.
  • FSS International revenue growth was broad-based across nearly all countries, largely from ongoing base business growth and net new business performance—with the U.K., Spain, Chile, and Canada driving the increase. Revenue on a GAAP basis included the impact of currency translation.

Operating Income increased 9% year-over-year to $174 million, and AOI grew 11%2 to $205 million, representing an operating income margin increase of 30 basis points and an AOI margin increase of more than 30 basis points2 year-over-year. Profitability growth was due to the Company’s higher revenue levels, supply chain efficiencies, and disciplined operational cost management. The effect of currency translation reduced operating income by $2 million.

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

  • FSS United States was led by higher base business and AI-driven supply chain productivity, resulting from enterprise spend visibility and improved purchasing decisions at the client site level. Profitability growth in the segment more than offset reduced profit from fewer operating days due to a calendar shift in the Education sector.
  • FSS International increased due to higher base business volume, along with the maturity of new business, disciplined control of operating costs, and strengthened supply chain economics.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Aramark experienced higher cash inflow in the second quarter, associated with the seasonal cadence of the business. Net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter was $256 million and free cash flow was $141 million. For the six months ended March 28, 2025, the Company reported stronger cash flow compared to the prior year period with Net Cash used in operating activities improving approximately $105 million and Free Cash Flow improving approximately $64 million. This performance was primarily the result of stronger net income and favorable working capital.

During the second quarter, Aramark implemented strategies that advanced its capital allocation priorities to enhance the Company's financial flexibility and drive shareholder returns, including:

  • Repaid $552 million of Senior Notes due April 2025 and refinanced $839 million of term loans due January 2027 with $1.4 billion of new term loans due June 2030;
  • Repaid €325 million of Euro Senior Notes in April 2025 and issued €400 million of Euro Senior Notes due April 2033;
  • Ongoing commitment to quarterly dividend payments, which was previously increased to 11% for fiscal year 2025; and
  • Continued repurchasing shares under its $500 million share repurchase program authorized in November 2024. To date, the Company has repurchased nearly 4 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $140 million.

The proactive actions undertaken regarding Aramark's debt commitments were net leverage neutral and at comparable interest rates. At quarter-end, the Company had over $1.6 billion in cash availability.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

Aramark's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of 10.5 cents per share of common stock, as announced on April 30, 2025. The dividend will be payable on May 28, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 14, 2025.

BUSINESS UPDATE

Aramark anticipates revenue growth to accelerate over the next two quarters primarily from net new business, strong client retention rates, and volume growth. The Company's belief is based on trends that are currently occurring in the business, including:

  • An increase in base business volume within the Education sector, as well as additional operating days at multiple universities within the portfolio;
  • New business ramp up in the Sports, Leisure, and Corrections sector;
  • Continued momentum in Business & Industry, particularly with positive return to office trends;
  • Strong base business in Healthcare from vertical sales and expansion of core operations, with new growth in senior living;
  • Continued double-digit organic revenue growth in FSS International; and
  • Lapping the prior year Facilities account exits.

The Company remains confident in its ability to achieve Net New of 4% to 5% of prior year revenue—with retention levels above historic levels—in fiscal 2025.

Aramark is effectively managing the fluctuations in the marketplace. The Company has a proven track record in benefiting from a resilient business model during periods of uncertainty given Aramark's extensive capabilities and diversified portfolio.

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 expects to see significant growth opportunity immediately ahead in the business and remains confident in the ability to achieve its full-year financial performance. As a result, Aramark reaffirmed expectations for its fiscal 2025 outlook for Organic Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EPS, and Leverage Ratio.

The Company continues to anticipate its full-year performance for fiscal 2025 as follows:

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 ($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) and charges related to hyperinflation in Argentina ($0.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, $1.3 million for year-to-date 2025, $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $4.8 million for 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 both the second quarter and year-to-date 2025, $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $9.1 million for year-to-date 2024) and the payment of third party costs ($5.8 million for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2025 and $0.4 million for both the second quarter and 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 both the second quarter and 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 ($8.6 million benefit for both the second quarter and 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 both the second quarter and year-to-date 2025).
