"The Company delivered another impressive quarter of strong top and bottom-line results," said John Zillmer, Aramark's Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to build on the momentum across the portfolio, including industry-leading client retention, broad-based revenue growth in the U.S. and International, record levels of new client wins, and the continued expansion of Aramark Nexus. Given the strong business trends across sectors and geographies, we've once again raised our Organic Revenue growth expectations for fiscal 2026. Our performance is a testament to the dedication of our teams, whose unwavering commitment to serving our clients, delivering exceptional hospitality experiences, and performing at a high level every day has been instrumental in our success." THIRD QUARTER RESULTS In the third quarter, consolidated revenue increased 9% year-over-year to $5.1 billion. The favorable effect of currency translation increased revenue by approximately $33 million. Organic Revenue, which excludes the effect of currency translation, was also higher by 9% compared to the same year-ago period. Performance was driven by broad-based net new business and base business momentum across sectors and geographies. The calendar shift from the 53rd week in the prior year reduced Revenue and Organic Revenue growth by an estimated 2%, primarily occurring in the Education sector within the FSS United States segment. Revenue growth in the quarter would have increased approximately 11% without the calendar shift. Revenue Q3 '26 Q3 '25 Change (%) Organic Revenue Change (%) FSS United States $3,496M $3,247M 8 % 8 % FSS International 1,562 1,379 13 % 11 % Total Company $5,058M $4,626M 9 % 9 % May not total due to rounding Difference between Change (%) and Organic Revenue Change (%) is the effect of currency translation FSS United States revenue growth was led by 1) Sports, Leisure & Corrections primarily from higher per cap spending and fan attendance levels in Sports & Entertainment, which included FIFA World Cup matches and the NBA/NHL playoffs, along with an expanded client portfolio across the sector; 2) Business & Industry from sustained double-digit growth with the contribution from significant new business, high client retention rates, and continued base business performance; and 3) Healthcare as a result of both new business and base business expansion. Revenue and Organic Revenue growth would have increased an estimated 10% without the calendar shift, primarily in the Education sector. FSS International revenue growth was broad-based across all geographies as a result of continued base business strength and net new business performance-largely from Spain, Canada, the U.K., and Germany. Revenue on a GAAP basis included the favorable effect of currency translation. Operating Income in the third quarter increased 18% compared to the prior year period to $216 million, and AOI grew 13% 1 to $261 million, representing an operating income margin increase of more than 30 basis points and an AOI margin increase of nearly 20 basis points 1 . The quarter benefited from strong revenue levels, supply chain efficiencies, and productivity gains from effective cost management. This favorable performance more than offset the calendar shift, which reduced Operating Income and AOI by an estimated 11% and 8%, respectively. Operating income and AOI growth would have increased approximately 29% and 21% 1 , respectively, without the calendar shift-with operating income margin growth of nearly 65 basis points and AOI margin expansion of 50 basis points. The effect of currency translation increased Operating Income by approximately $1 million. Operating Income Q3 '26 Q3 '25 Change (%) FSS United States $182M $160M 14% FSS International 69 49 40% Corporate (35) (27) (33)% Total Company $216M $183M 18% Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) Q3 '26 Q3 '25 Change (%) Constant Currency Change (%) $211M $189M 12% 11% 85 67 26% 24% (35) (27) (33)% (33)% $261M $230M 13% 13% May not total due to rounding Year-over-year profitability growth and margin expansion resulted from the following segment performance: FSS United States increased from higher base business and new business revenue levels, particularly in Sports, Leisure & Corrections, Business & Industry, and Healthcare, in addition to supply chain efficiencies and productivity gains from effective cost management. Operating Income and AOI would have increased an estimated 26% and 22%, respectively, without the calendar shift -with operating income margin growth of more than 40 basis points and AOI margin expansion of nearly 65 basis points. FSS International benefited from base business and net new business expansion, along with strengthened supply chain economics. Operating Income on a GAAP basis included the favorable effect of currency translation. Corporate expenses increased primarily due to higher share-based compensation. CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE Aramark reported a higher cash inflow in the third quarter compared to the prior year period, predominantly driven by stronger business performance and earnings growth. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter grew $41 million and Free Cash Flow increased $42 million. Consistent with the typical seasonality of the business, the Company expects to generate a large cash inflow in the fourth quarter, primarily from Collegiate Hospitality and Sports & Entertainment. At quarter-end, the Company had more than $1.4 billion in cash availability. Aramark proactively repaid approximately $100 million of 2028 Term Loans subsequent to quarter-end. The Company remains committed to a leverage ratio below 3.0x by the end of fiscal 2026. Aramark also maintains an active share repurchase program and has repurchased more than 5 million shares since its inception for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $194 million. DIVIDEND DECLARATION Aramark's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock, as announced on August 5, 2026. The dividend will be payable on September 9, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2026. BUSINESS UPDATE The Company reported another quarter of substantial growth in both revenue and profitability, with this momentum continuing in all business segments. Late in the third quarter, Aramark began operations at its first Texas-based site supporting a top global hyperscaler and is currently scaling the service offerings. The Company is mobilizing a second site for this client and anticipates supporting additional locations. Aramark remains in active dialogue with other leading hyperscalers, reflecting strong demand for its integrated suite of capabilities. Further extending the reach of Aramark Nexus, the Company recently announced a multi-year engagement with a leading AI data center colocation provider to deliver premium hospitality services to workforce communities across multiple locations, including in Wyoming and Texas. As Aramark Nexus continues to expand in scale and geographic footprint, the Company believes that the business is uniquely positioned to help clients attract and retain skilled labor through differentiated hospitality solutions and premium amenities that enhance the employee experience and contribute to operational success. 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 2026 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 a result of Aramark's strong financial performance throughout Fiscal 2026, the Company raised its full-year Organic Revenue growth Outlook. In addition to the continued growth momentum across Aramark's broader portfolio, this increase reflects the contribution from commencing operations with a top global hyperscaler as Aramark scales its premium hospitality services. The Company reaffirmed its Outlook for AOI, Adjusted EPS, and Leverage Ratio with anticipated fourth quarter results consistent with Wall Street estimates. Aramark expects AOI growth and margin expansion to accelerate in the fourth quarter, driven by its multiple operating levers and the early profitability contribution from Aramark Nexus, while mobilizing a record level of new business throughout the Company and adding growth resources as appropriate to further capitalize on the significant demand for Aramark Nexus. Aramark currently anticipates its full-year performance for Fiscal 2026 as follows: Organic Revenue growth of +9% to +10%; Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) growth of +12% to +17% ; Adjusted EPS growth of +20% to +25% ; and Leverage Ratio under 3x Previous Outlook for Organic Revenue growth was at the high end of +7% to +9% All percentages above are on a constant currency basis For easier comparison purposes, Fiscal 2025 Organic Revenue is on a 52-week basis "We're extremely confident in our ability to continue driving strong, sustained growth," Zillmer added. "We believe that the opportunities before us-from the outperformance of our core business to the scaling of Aramark Nexus and our Global Supply Chain platform-position us well to realize the benefits of the significant value-creating actions underway. Once again, I am thankful to our teams around the globe for embodying our culture and values, which remain the foundation of who we are as a Company."

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 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; the effect of debt repricing and repayments 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 attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted for interest expense, net; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization and certain other items as defined in our credit agreement 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 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 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.
