FIRST QUARTER RESULTS*

Consolidated Revenue was $4.3 billion in the quarter, down 0.3% year-over-year, primarily due to approximately six weeks of operations from the Healthcare Technologies business in the prior year before its divestiture in November 2019. Organic Revenue grew 1.6% over the prior year with growth across all segments:

FSS United States increased 0.9% due to base business growth primarily in Healthcare and Sports, Leisure and Corrections, partially offset by Education.
FSS International grew 3.2% driven by particularly strong performance in South America, despite the impact of social unrest in Chile and the strategic exit of non-core custodial accounts in Europe late last year.

Uniform & Career Apparel increased 2.5% from improved pricing and volume with a continued focus on adjacency services.

Total Company $4,254M $4,265M (0.3)% 1.6%

Difference between GAAP Revenue and Organic Revenue reflects the elimination of currency translation and divestitures.

^1^Q1 2019 GAAP numbers include divested Healthcare Technologies revenue of $44 million. This has been excluded from the

calculation of Organic Revenue for comparison purposes.

Operating Income was $254.3 million, down 32% year-over-year primarily due to the prior year divestiture of the Healthcare Technologies business. Adjusted Operating Income was 2% lower on a constant currency basis as follows:

FSS United States decreased 11% reflecting the Company's actions to accelerate growth; negative net-new business in Education; increase in medical insurance claim costs; and lower income from possessory interest versus the prior year.
FSS International grew 43% largely due to the benefit from the strategic exit of non-core custodial accounts in Europe late last year as well as the timing of incentive-based compensation in the prior year.

GAAP SUMMARY

On a GAAP basis, revenue was $4.3 billion, operating income was $254.3 million, net income attributable to Aramark stockholders was $145.8 million, and diluted earnings per share were $0.57. This compared to the first quarter of 2019 where, on a GAAP basis, revenue was $4.3 billion, operating income was $373.4 million, net income attributable to Aramark stockholders was $250.7 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.99. First quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased 42% over the prior year principally due to the $157.3 million gain in the prior year period from the sale of the Healthcare Technologies business. A reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures is included in the appendix.

CURRENCY

A stronger U.S. dollar decreased revenue by approximately $37.4 million and a $1.2 million unfavorable impact on operating income. Currency had a negligible effect on GAAP and adjusted earnings per share.

CASH FLOW

Net Cash used in operating activities was $(309.5) million compared to $(203.7) million in the prior year. Free Cash Flow was $(405.0) million compared to $(317.1) million in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease was due, in large part, to the timing of annual cash-based incentive compensation payments in the prior year and special employee retirement contributions this year. Cash flow is historically negative in the first quarter due to seasonality in the business.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The Company reduced its net debt position by $221.2 million compared to the prior year quarter and maintained approximately $1.1 billion in cash and availability on its revolving credit facility. Total trailing 12-month net debt to covenant adjusted EBITDA was 4.2x at the end of the quarter, unchanged from the prior year.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company further strengthened its balance sheet and improved financial flexibility through a $900 million debt refinancing action. As part of this strategy, Aramark raised secured term loans to redeem its 2024 Senior Notes and executed $800 million of interest rate swap contracts at favorable fixed interest rates. The transaction is net leverage neutral, maintains a comparable level of fixed-to-floating debt exposure due to the interest rate hedges and extends the debt maturity by an additional three years to January 2027.

BUSINESS UPDATE

The Company is currently activating strategies to accelerate future revenue growth and unlock the economic potential of the business. These actions include fostering a hospitality culture, aligning leadership and operational resources, as well as initiating targeted investments that will support new account sales efforts and client retention; enhanced product and service offerings; and value-added innovation and technology—all executed with a commitment to drive long-term shareholder value.

"Since joining Aramark a few weeks ago, I have spent time immersing myself in the organization and have already confirmed my initial belief in the growth potential for the business," said Tom Ondrof, Aramark's Chief Financial Officer. "While appreciating the immediate work ahead of us, I am confident that we will execute over time on our actions and position Aramark for sustained excellence. As these strategies are implemented, the Company maintains its near-term financial performance outlook for Fiscal 2020."

Selected Operational and Financial Metrics

Adjusted Revenue (Organic)

Adjusted Revenue (Organic) represents revenue growth, adjusted to eliminate the effects of material divestitures and 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; the impact of the change in fair value related to certain gasoline and diesel agreements; severance and other charges; the effect of divestitures (including the gain on the sale); merger and integration related charges; tax reform related employee reinvestments 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 change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; the impact of changes in the fair value related to certain gasoline and diesel agreements; severance and other charges; the effect of divestitures (including the gain on the sale); merger and integration related charges; tax reform related employee reinvestments; the tax benefit attributable to the former CEO's equity award exercises; the impact of tax reform and other items impacting comparability, less the tax impact of these adjustments. The tax effect for adjusted net income for our U.S. earnings is calculated using a blended U.S. federal and state tax rate. The tax effect for adjusted net income in jurisdictions outside the U.S. 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 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. The Company also uses Net Debt for its ratio to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as total long-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

Free Cash Flow

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.

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, or earnings per share, 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.

("AmeriPride"), as well as statements regarding these companies’ services and products and statements relating to our business and growth strategy. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "outlook," "aim," "anticipate," "are or remain or continue to be confident," "have confidence," "estimate," "expect," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "see," "look to" and other words and terms of similar meaning or the negative versions of such words.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates, financial results and our estimated benefits and costs of our acquisitions are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results or the costs and benefits of the acquisitions include without limitation: unfavorable economic conditions; natural disasters, global calamities, pandemics, sports strikes and other adverse incidents; the failure to retain current clients, renew existing client contracts and obtain new client contracts; a determination by clients to reduce their outsourcing or use of preferred vendors; competition in our industries; increased operating costs and obstacles to cost recovery due to the pricing and cancellation terms of our food and support services contracts; the inability to achieve cost savings through our cost reduction efforts; our expansion strategy; our ability to successfully integrate the businesses of Avendra and AmeriPride and costs and timing related thereto, the risk of unanticipated restructuring costs or assumption of undisclosed liabilities, the risk that we are unable to achieve the anticipated benefits (including tax benefits) and synergies of the acquisition of AmeriPride and Avendra including whether the transactions will be accretive and within the expected timeframes, the availability of sufficient cash to repay certain indebtedness and our decision to utilize the cash for that purpose, the disruption of the transactions to each of Avendra and AmeriPride and their respective managements; the effect of the transactions on each of Avendra's and AmeriPride's ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other third parties; the failure to maintain food safety throughout our supply chain, food-borne illness concerns and claims of illness or injury; governmental regulations including those relating to food and beverages, the environment, wage and hour and government contracting; liability associated with noncompliance with applicable law or other governmental regulations; new interpretations of or changes in the enforcement of the government regulatory framework; currency risks and other risks associated with international operations, including Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K. Bribery Act and other anti-corruption law compliance; continued or further unionization of our workforce; liability resulting from our participation in multiemployer defined benefit pension plans; risks associated with suppliers from whom our products are sourced; disruptions to our relationship with, or to the business of, our primary distributor; the inability to hire and retain sufficient qualified personnel or increases in labor costs; healthcare reform legislation; the contract intensive nature of our business, which may lead to client disputes; seasonality; disruptions in the availability of our computer systems or privacy breaches; failure to maintain effective internal controls; our leverage; the inability to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness; debt agreements that limit our flexibility in operating our business; our ability to attract new or maintain existing customer and supplier relationships at reasonable cost, our ability to retain key personnel and other factors set forth under the headings Item 1A "Risk Factors," Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" and Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on November 26, 2019 as such factors may be updated from time to time in our other periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and which may be obtained by contacting Aramark's investor relations department via its website www.aramark.com. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this press release and in our other filings with the SEC. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included herein or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by, or on behalf of, us. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, changes in our expectations, or otherwise, except as required by law.
