"Now halfway through the fiscal year, we continue to make progress on our strategic priorities, resulting in strong business performance, additional balance sheet optimization, and positioning the Uniforms Services spin-off for success," said John Zillmer, Aramark's Chief Executive Officer.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Consolidated revenue was $4.6 billion in the second quarter, an increase of 19% year-over-year, driven by net new business, pricing, and base business growth. A stronger dollar in the period impacted revenue results by $76 million, largely offset by the $67 million revenue contribution from Union Supply Group, which was acquired in June 2022.
Organic revenue, which adjusts for the effect of currency translation and certain acquisitions, grew 19% year-over-year compared to the prior year period.
Revenue | ||||
Q2 '23 | Q2 '22 | Change (%) | Organic Revenue Change (%) | |
FSS United States | $2,843M | $2,338M | 22% | 19% |
FSS International | 1,073 | 871 | 23% | 31% |
Uniform & Career Apparel | 686 | 651 | 5% | 6% |
Total Company | $4,602M | $3,861M | 19% | 19% |
Difference between Change (%) and Organic Revenue Change (%) reflects the effect of certain acquisitions and the impact of currency translation. | ||||
May not total due to rounding. | ||||
Note: Uniform & Career Apparel also referred to as Uniform Services, or "AUS" | ||||
- FSS United States revenue increased primarily as a result of strong net new business growth and client pricing. In addition, revenue growth was driven by higher per capita spending in the Sports & Entertainment business and greater return-to-work activity in Business & Industry. Education experienced strong retail and catering in Collegiate Hospitality, slightly offset by the end of universal government-sponsored programs in Student Nutrition at the end of June 2022.
- FSS International grew revenue due to contributions from net new business, client pricing, and ongoing base business growth across all geographies, particularly within Germany, Canada, and South America.
- Uniform & Career Apparel increased revenue in both the U.S. and Canada from solid net new account growth and client pricing. Adjacency services, although currently a relatively small portion of the business' revenue mix, reported double-digit growth and remains a focal point for growth in the Uniform Services portfolio.
Operating Income was 28% higher year-over-year, growing to $182 million and AOI improved 30%1 to $213 million, reflecting an operating income margin increase of 27 basis points and an AOI margin increase of 40 basis points1. Improvement was driven by operating leverage from higher revenue generated through net new business, client pricing, and base business growth, in addition to disciplined above-unit cost management that more than offset the impact of inflation and start-up costs. The effect of currency translation impacted results by $3.3 million.

*FSS International Operating Income included $26 million of severance and other charges that was excluded from AOI. Operating Income and AOI included $21 million from government reimbursement programs in Q2 '22. | ||||||||
Year-over-year profitability improvement was a result of the following segment performance:
- FSS United States increased driven by maturity of prior year new business, improved supply chain economics, and above-unit cost management across the entire segment, as well as an increase in return-to-work volume in the Business & Industry sector, and higher per capita spending in the Sports & Entertainment business. These profitability gains more than offset higher product costs and costs associated with opening a record level of new client accounts.
Operating Income also included non-cash income that was excluded from AOI associated with the reversal of contingent consideration related to the Next Level Hospitality and Union Supply Group acquisitions.
- FSS International decreased year-over-year as the second quarter last year included $21 million of government reimbursement programs. On a comparable basis, results benefited from new business contract maturity, leverage of higher base business volumes across its business & industry clients, improved supply chain economics, and reduced above-unit costs, somewhat offset by higher product costs and the end of government reimbursement programs.
Operating Income also included severance charges that were excluded from AOI related to organizational restructuring initiatives.
- Uniform & Career Apparel improved driven by operating leverage from net new business and control of administrative expenses, which more than offset higher labor and merchandise costs.
Operating Income also included non-cash charges for the impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets, severance charges related to organizational restructuring initiatives and other spin-off related expenses, and a gain from sale of land-all of which were excluded from AOI.
- Corporate expenses were tightly managed as revenue increased.
CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The second quarter generated a cash inflow associated with Aramark's normal seasonal business cadence. Net cash provided by operating activities during the second quarter was $314 million and Free Cash Flow was $229 million.
At quarter-end, Aramark had approximately $1.2 billion in cash availability.
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
As announced on May 3, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of 11 cents per share of common stock. The dividend will be payable on May 31, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2023.
BUSINESS UPDATE
Through the first half of the fiscal year, the Company has demonstrated significant year-over-year growth on both the top- and bottom-line.
Revenue performance in the second half of the fiscal year is expected to be driven by continued strength in net new business, pricing actions, and ongoing base business growth.
Aramark continues to expect its typical "U-shaped" margin seasonality-with margins higher in the first and fourth quarters compared to the second and third quarters. The Company also anticipates improved profitability through:
- Ongoing supply chain normalization and optimization
- Continued profit recovery through pricing-assuming some moderation of inflation-in all segments, and most notably within FSS U.S.' Collegiate Hospitality, Student Nutrition, and Corrections businesses
- Profitability ramp of record new business in FY21 and FY22 through operational maturity and efficiencies
- Benefit of previously completed organizational restructuring initiatives in FSS International and Uniform Services
- Tight control and leverage of above-unit overhead across higher revenue
The Company believes that the typical seasonality of the business will also drive Net Cash provided by Operating activities and Free Cash Flow that historically delivers a large cash inflow in the fourth quarter, primarily from Collegiate Hospitality. In addition, Aramark continues to strategically evaluate its non-controlling interest portfolio. This includes the divestiture of its 50% equity stake in AIM Services for total proceeds of $535 million that closed in early April as well as a newly signed agreement to sell a portion of its ownership stake in the San Antonio Spurs NBA franchise.
Following quarter-end, Aramark repaid approximately $530 million in total debt. The Company expects to be opportunistic and proactive in further strengthening its balance sheet through additional debt repayment and strategic refinancings.
Aramark has continued to make significant progress with respect to the spin-off of the Uniforms business. The Company will continue to monitor macroeconomic and capital market conditions, as well as the business' momentum, while remaining diligent in completing the operational, regulatory, and financial logistics in order to be in a position to be able to complete the separation by the end of the fiscal year.
OUTLOOK
The Company provides its expectations for organic revenue growth, Adjusted Operating Income, Free Cash Flow, 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 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.
As Aramark enters the second half of fiscal 2023, the Company is providing full year performance expectations that now include its outlook for Global FSS and Uniform Services:

Note: Global FSS is defined as the sum of the FSS United States, FSS International, and Corporate reportable segments. Uniform Services is defined as the Uniform & Career Apparel reportable segment. Outlook does not reflect any incremental public company costs associated with the spin transaction. |
"As we move into the second half of the fiscal year, I am excited about the opportunities ahead for Aramark as we finish the year and continue our momentum into fiscal 2024," Zillmer added. "Revenue is strong, AOI performance continues to build, and we remain committed to our strategic agenda. I feel the incredible progress across our business and believe deeply in the ability of our teams around the globe to reach this level of performance and well beyond."

Selected Operational and Financial Metrics
Adjusted Revenue (Organic)
Adjusted Revenue (Organic) represents revenue growth, adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain material acquisitions 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 certain material acquisitions; 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 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 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.
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. 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
