FISCAL 2014 RESULTS

Adjusted net income was $359 million or $1.51 per share, versus adjusted net income of $261 million or $1.24 per share in 2013. The extra week increased adjusted net income by an estimated 2% and adjusted earnings per share by an estimated $0.02. The diluted share count average for fiscal 2014 was 237.5 million shares, up from 209.4 million shares in fiscal 2013, primarily as a result of the company's initial public offering in December of 2013.

Adjusted operating incomes includes the benefit of the 53rd week. As reported sales were up 7% and operating income was up 24%. Sales growth in the Education and Sports, Leisure and Corrections sectors were particularly notable as new business wins came onboard throughout the year.
Food and Support Services – International
Sales in the Food and Support Services – International segment were $3.1 billion with organic growth of 7%. Adjusted operating income for the segment was up 25%. As reported sales were up 6% and operating income was up 56%.

Sales in the Uniform and Career Apparel segment were $1.5 billion with organic growth of 3%. Adjusted operating income for the segment was up 12%. As reported sales were up 5% and operating income was up 47%. Profitability improvement in the segment was driven by ongoing sales growth and continuing merchandise and plant productivity initiatives.
FOURTH QUARTER 2014 RESULTS
Sales were $3.9 billion versus $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013, with organic growth of 6%. Sales in the quarter included non-recurring facility project work with a major North America client, which increased growth by about 2%. North America organic growth of 7% was led by Education, Healthcare Hospitality and Corrections and was boosted by the non-recurring facility project. International organic growth was 6% while organic growth in Uniform and Career Apparel was 3%.
Adjusted operating income was $228 million versus $198 million in last year's period, an increase of 15%, with North America up 12%, International up 27% and Uniform and Career Apparel up 15%. The extra week is estimated to comprise about 7% of the growth in the quarter. On an as reported basis, total company operating income increased 7% in the fourth quarter with North America, International and Uniform and Career Apparel increasing 13%, (5%) and 75%, respectively. North America adjusted operating income growth reflected both continued productivity initiatives and the impact of start-up costs of several large Education, Healthcare and Corrections clients. International benefited from continued strong performance in Emerging Markets while Uniform and Career Apparel continued to deliver on productivity initiatives.
Adjusted net income for the quarter was $94 million or $0.39 per share, versus adjusted net income of $78 million or $0.37 per share in the fourth quarter of 2013. The 53rd week increased adjusted net income by about 6% and adjusted earnings per share by approximately $0.02. The diluted share count in the fourth quarter was 244.3 million shares, up from 209.6 million shares in the same period last year, primarily as a result of the company's initial public offering in December of 2013.
On an as reported basis for the quarter, sales were $3.9 billion, operating income was $145 million, net income attributable to Aramark stockholders was $44 million and earnings per share were $0.18. Changes in currency rates from the prior year reduced sales and operating income in the quarter. A reconciliation of as reported financial measures to adjusted financial measures, including changes in currency translation rates is presented below. See "Non-GAAP Measures."
TRANSFORMATION UPDATE
In late 2012 the company launched a transformation initiative focused on Accelerating growth, Activating productivity, and Attracting the best people. This initiative is designed to drive annual organic sales growth of 3% - 5%, adjusted operating income growth of mid to high single digits and adjusted earnings per share growth in the low double digits. Included in the first phase of this transformation was a 2013 - 2015 target of $200 - $300 million of gross productivity savings leading to $100 million of savings, net of pass-through savings to clients under client interest contracts and reinvestment in growth, people and technology. The company has achieved this target early and delivered these savings by year-end fiscal 2014.
Looking forward, the company expects to continue programs related to food, labor and SG&A initiatives and has identified additional programs in these areas, including development of a more standardized in-unit organizational structure, supply chain and menu standardization and expansion of our shared services initiative globally. Efforts related to this next phase of transformation are already underway, and have resulted in a fourth quarter charge of $21 million. Over the next two years, the company expects to incur additional charges of approximately $100 million related to these initiatives. These incremental actions are expected to result in approximately $300 million in gross cost savings before client pass-through savings under client interest contracts over a three-year period and will support the company's existing multi-year framework, continued investment in growth, people and technology and help to partially offset external pressures that may arise such as food and wage inflation.
DIVIDEND INCREASE & DECLARATION
In recognition of the company's improving growth and profitability, the company's Board of Directors is increasing the regular quarterly dividend by 15%, to 8.625 cents per share of common stock. On November 11, 2014 the Board of Directors declared the first quarter fiscal 2015 dividend, at the increased rate, which is payable on December 16, 2014, to stockholders of record at the close of business November 25, 2014.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As of October 3, 2014, total debt was $5.4 billion. The company's total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio has been reduced to 4.3x, from 5.0x prior to the December 2013 public offering. Corporate liquidity remains strong, and as of year-end the company's $770 million revolving credit facility was undrawn.
MULTI-YEAR FRAMEWORK & OUTLOOK
The company's multi-year framework remains unchanged – to deliver 3% - 5% organic sales growth, mid to high single digit adjusted operating income growth and low double digit growth in adjusted earnings per share. In 2015, adjusted EPS is expected within a range of $1.60 to $1.70, based upon an estimate of 245.0 million average diluted shares outstanding, up from 237.5 million in 2014.
53rd Week impact on 2015 Quarters
The shift of the start of fiscal 2015 resulting from 2014's extra week creates a calendar shift that affects year-over-year quarterly comparisons. In general, this effect results from a change in timing between (1) the company's fiscal quarters and (2) holidays in the Business and Education sector, school semesters and breaks in the Education sector, and major league sports schedules in the Sports, Leisure and Corrections sector. This effect is expected to reduce both sales and adjusted operating income growth in the first and third quarters, while increasing growth in the second and fourth quarters, as shown in the table:
Estimated Calendar Shift Impact on Growth

Selected Operational and Financial Metrics
Adjusted Sales (Organic)
Management believes that presentation of sales growth, adjusted to eliminate the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, the impact of currency translation and the estimated impact of the 53rd week, provides useful information to investors because it enhances comparability between the current year and prior year reporting periods. Elimination of the currency translation effect provides constant currency comparisons without the distortion of currency rate fluctuations.
Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related customer relationship intangible assets and depreciation of property and equipment resulting from the going-private transaction in 2007 (the "Transaction"); the impact of the change in fair value related to the gasoline and diesel agreements; severance and other charges; share-based compensation; the effects of acquisitions and divestitures and the impact of currency translation and other items impacting comparability.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted Operating Income further adjusted to exclude the impact of all other depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income represents net income attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of discontinued operations; the change in amortization of acquisition-related customer relationship intangible assets and depreciation of property and equipment resulting from the Transaction; the impact of changes in the fair value related to the gasoline and diesel agreements; severance and other charges; share-based compensation; the effects of acquisitions and divestitures and the impact of currency translation and other items impacting comparability, less the tax impact of these adjustments. Management believes that presentation of net income as adjusted is useful information to investors because we use such information when evaluating net income to better evaluate the underlying operating performance of the company.
We use Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income as supplemental measures of our operating profitability and to operate and control our cash operating costs to evaluate our performance. These financial metrics are not measurements of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. We believe the presentation of these metrics is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating performance. 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 U.S. GAAP. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to sales, operating income or net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, as presented by us, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations.
