**Philadelphia, PA, February 7, 2023 -** Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) today reported first quarter fiscal 2023 results.

"We began the year as we ended the last one, focused on our principal strategic objective: to drive profitable growth," said John Zillmer, Aramark's Chief Executive Officer. "Our performance in the quarter reflected continued financial and operational momentum in the business despite a challenging macro-environment, which is a testament to the commitment of our talent across the globe to provide exceptional service to clients. I couldn't be more proud of our team members, who go out every day and show what makes Aramark so remarkable."

**<u>FIRST QUARTER RESULTS</u>**

Consolidated revenue was $4.6 billion in the first quarter, an increase of 17% year-over-year, driven by net new business, pricing, and base business growth. A stronger dollar in the period impacted revenue results by $129 million, partially offset by the $72 million contribution of Union Supply Group, which was acquired in June 2022.

Organic revenue, which adjusts for the effect of currency translation and certain acquisitions, grew 18% year-over-year compared to the prior year period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Difference between Change (%) and Organic Revenue Change (%) reflects the effect of certain acquisitions and the elimination of currency translation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;May not total due to rounding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FSS United States revenue growth was driven by all sectors, primarily due to:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Sector** | **Q1 Revenue Activity** |
| Education | Increased student enrollments, and improved presence of staff and more events on campuses in Higher Education, partially offset by the end of universal government-sponsored programs in K-12. |
| Sports, Leisure & Corrections | Increased event pricing and per capita spending, as well as a robust event calendar in Sports & Leisure. Corrections benefited from a significant level of new business growth. |
| Business & Industry | Substantial year-over-year growth driven by client pricing, higher meal participation rates, and in-person activities, as well as solid new business openings. |
| Healthcare | Ongoing base business growth from vertical sales and greater visitor presence combined with the contribution from new business start-ups. |
| Facilities & Other | Increase in base business driven by expanded services and frequency, particularly from large client accounts, along with a strong level of new business start-ups. |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FSS International grew revenue primarily from consistent net new business performance, pricing, and ongoing base business volume recovery, particularly within the business & industry portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Uniform & Career Apparel revenue increased due to client pricing and solid net new account performance in both the U.S. and Canada, driven by recurring rentals and adjacency services.

Operating Income grew 42% year-over-year to $200 million and AOI improved 47%<sup>1</sup> to $242 million, representing an operating income margin increase of 79 basis points and an AOI margin increase of 104 basis points<sup>1</sup>. Improvement was from leveraging higher revenue levels, pricing, and effective cost management that more than offset the impact of inflation and start-up costs from significantly higher levels of new business. The effect of currency translation impacted results by $6.2 million.

May not total due to rounding.

------

Year-over-year improvement in profitability was a result of the following segment performance:

• FSS United States increased due to base business volume recovery, primarily within the Business & Industry sector and Sports & Entertainment business, pricing, as well as leverage from operational and administrative cost management across wide-ranging revenue growth that more than offset higher food and labor costs associated with inflation and start-up costs from new client account openings.

**•** FSS International also improved primarily from base business volume recovery within business & industry, pricing, and leverage from administrative cost management across strong revenue growth, in addition to operating efficiency initiatives, particularly within Continental Europe.

• Uniform & Career Apparel performance was driven by improved operating efficiencies with increased revenue levels and pricing, partially offset by higher merchandise amortization expense. Operating income included non-cash charges for the impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets and other costs related to certain real estate properties, as well as personnel and other expenses associated with the Uniform Services spin-off.

• Corporate expenses improved as overhead costs were tightly managed even as revenue increased.

**<u>CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE</u>**

As expected, the first quarter experienced a cash outflow associated with Aramark's normal seasonal business cadence, specifically in Higher Education, and higher working capital due to strong revenue growth. In December, the Company made a scheduled deferred FICA payment of $64.2 million as previously disclosed. In the quarter, Net cash used in operating activities was $607 million and Free Cash Flow was a use of $706 million.

At quarter-end, Aramark had approximately $1.1 billion in cash availability.

**<u>DIVIDEND DECLARATION</u>**

The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of 11 cents per share of common stock. The dividend will be payable on March 8, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 22, 2023.

**<u>BUSINESS UPDATE</u>**

Aramark began fiscal 2023 with an ongoing commitment to provide exceptional service to clients, which led to strong business performance on both the top- and bottom-line. The Company remained resolute in its focus to drive profitable growth that is expected to drive significant value creation.

As announced on February 2, 2023, Aramark reached an agreement to sell its 50% equity stake in AIM Services to Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for $535 million with the proceeds intended to be used for accelerated debt repayment. AIM Services was established as a joint venture between Aramark and Mitsui Group companies in 1976 to provide food services to clients across a variety of business sectors in Japan.

As a non-controlling interest, AIM Services was not historically included in Aramark's consolidated revenue results. Aramark's 50% ownership stake contributed approximately $30 million to pre-COVID Operating Income and AOI in fiscal 2019, weighted toward the back half of the year.

The monetization of this non-controlling interest is expected to enhance operating focus, strengthen the balance sheet, and be accretive to EPS. The transaction is anticipated to close at the beginning of Aramark's fiscal third quarter, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals.

------

**<u>UNIFORM SERVICES SPIN-OFF</u>**

Since its announcement in May, Aramark has made continued progress in anticipation of the separation of the Uniform Services business, including hiring key executives to complement the existing Uniform leadership team. The Company has identified the individuals who are expected to serve as the Board of Directors for the Uniform Services business after the spin is complete and will be available to act in an advisory capacity throughout the separation process. The transaction, which is intended to be tax-free to Aramark and its stockholders, remains on track to occur in the second half of fiscal 2023.

**<u>OUTLOOK</u>**

*The Company provides its expectations for organic revenue growth, Adjusted Operating Income, and Free Cash Flow 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 impact of the change in fair value related to certain gasoline and diesel agreements and other charges and the effect of currency translation. The fiscal 2023 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.*

Aramark currently expects the following full-year total Company performance for fiscal 2023:

**Maintained**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Organic revenue growth between +11% and +13%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Free Cash Flow in a range of $475 million to $525 million, before the payment of deferred payroll taxes associated with the CARES Act as well as spin-off and restructuring related costs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ After these items, Free Cash Flow in a range of $300 million to $350 million

**Updated to reflect AIM Services Transaction**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) growth of +32% to +37%; previously +34% to 39%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Transaction expected to be accretive to EPS

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Leverage ratio at approximately 4.0x by the end of fiscal 2023; previously 4.0x to 4.5x

*Note: Leverage ratio is defined as Net Debt to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA*

"Looking ahead, we have a strong pipeline of attractive new business opportunities, a highly motivated team, and an organic growth engine that is continuing to strengthen," Zillmer added. "We remain focused on managing our cost structure, maximizing unit efficiencies coupled with client pricing to counter persistent inflation, and taking actions to further strengthen our balance sheet. We believe these combined efforts will drive significant shareholder return."

**<u>Selected Operational and Financial Metrics</u>**

**<u>Adjusted Revenue (Organic)</u>**

Adjusted Revenue (Organic) represents revenue growth, adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain material acquisitions and the impact of currency translation.

**<u>Adjusted Operating Income</u>**

Adjusted Operating Income represents operating income adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; the impact of the change in fair value related to certain gasoline and diesel agreements; the effect of certain material acquisitions; spin-off related charges and other items impacting comparability.

**<u>Adjusted Operating Income (Constant Currency)</u>**

Adjusted Operating Income (Constant Currency) represents Adjusted Operating Income adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation.

**<u>Adjusted Net Income</u>**

Adjusted Net Income represents net income attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; the impact of changes in the fair value related to certain gasoline and diesel agreements; the effect of certain material acquisitions; spin-off related charges; loss on defined benefit pension plan termination; 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.

**<u>Adjusted Net Income (Constant Currency)</u>**

Adjusted Net Income (Constant Currency) represents Adjusted Net Income adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation.

**<u>Adjusted EPS</u>**

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

**<u>Adjusted EPS (Constant Currency)</u>**

Adjusted EPS (Constant Currency) represents Adjusted EPS adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation.

**<u>Covenant Adjusted EBITDA</u>**

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA represents net income attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted for interest and other financing costs, 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.

**<u>Free Cash Flow</u>**

Free Cash Flow represents net cash used in 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.

**<u>Net New Business</u>**

Net New Business is an internal statistical metric used to evaluate our new sales and retention performance. The calculation is defined as the annualized value of gross new business less the annualized value of lost business.

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 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.

**<u>Explanatory Notes to the Non-GAAP Schedules</u>**

**<u>Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets</u>** - adjustments to eliminate the change in amortization expense resulting from the purchase accounting applied to the January 26, 2007 going-private transaction and amortization expense recognized on other acquisition-related intangible assets.
