^1	On a constant currency basis

“Our financial results underscore the continued momentum at the Company driven by our unwavering focus on delivering hospitality excellence,” said John Zillmer, Aramark’s Chief Executive Officer. “With exceptionally strong business trends across sectors and geographies, we’ve updated our fiscal 2026 Outlook to the high end of our previously stated expectations for Organic Revenue growth. This reflects our team’s disciplined execution of our growth strategies as we continue to achieve new milestones.”

“We’re excited about our entry into the hyperscale AI data center market with the launch of Aramark Nexus™ where we bring proven expertise in highly complex operations and an established competitive advantage. As we execute on our new multi-year engagement with a top global hyperscaler, this client is expected to become the largest in our portfolio. We believe there is substantial growth potential with this client and other hyperscalers, combined with the existing sales momentum occurring throughout our broader portfolio."

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Consolidated revenue was $4.9 billion in the second quarter, a 15% increase year-over-year. The favorable effect of currency translation increased revenue by approximately $101 million. Organic Revenue, which excludes the effect of currency translation, was higher by 12% compared to the same year-ago period. Growth was led by broad-based net new business and base business expansion across sectors and geographies. The calendar shift from the 53rd week in the prior year increased Revenue and Organic Revenue growth by an estimated 3%, principally in the Education sector within the FSS United States segment.

	Revenue
	Q2 '26	Q2 '25	Change (%)	Organic Revenue Change (%)
FSS United States	$3,430M	$3,056M	12 %	12 %
FSS International	1,477	1,223	21 %	13 %
Total Company	$4,907M	$4,279M	15 %	12 %
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 attendance levels in Sports & Entertainment, which included Opening Day of Major League Baseball and the World Baseball Classic, as well as the NCAA Basketball Tournament; 2) Business & Industry from sustained double-digit growth with significant new business contribution, exceptionally high client retention rates, elevated catering demand, and an expanded Refreshments client base; and 3) Healthcare from onboarding new business. Revenue and Organic Revenue growth also benefited by approximately 4% from the calendar shift.
• FSS International revenue growth was across all geographies, driven by ongoing base business expansion and net new business performance—which included double-digit growth in both Europe and Canada, and Emerging Markets experiencing high-single digit growth on an organic basis. The calendar shift positively affected Revenue and Organic Revenue growth by an estimated 1%. Revenue on a GAAP basis included the favorable effect of currency translation.

Operating Income was $220 million, an increase of 26% compared to the prior year period, and AOI grew 24%¹ to $258 million. The quarter benefited from higher revenue levels, productivity gains in food and labor, supply chain efficiencies, and effective above-unit cost management. The calendar shift contributed to profitability growth by an estimated $25 million. The effect of currency translation increased Operating Income by approximately $5 million.

	Operating Income			Adjusted Operating Income (AOI)
	Q2 '26	Q2 '25	Change (%)	Q2 '26	Q2 '25	Change (%)	Constant Currency Change (%)
FSS United States	$193M	$152M	27%	$223M	$176M	27%	27%
FSS International	61	52	19%	69	58	19%	12%

Total Company	$220M	$174M	26%	$258M	$205M	26%	24%
May not total due to rounding

• FSS United States increased from accelerated revenue levels, enhanced technology driving additional productivity gains, supply chain efficiencies, and effective above-unit cost management. The calendar shift favorably affected Operating Income and AOI growth by an estimated 16% and 13%, respectively.
• FSS International grew due to higher base business and net new business along with strengthened supply chain economics, which more than offset some in-country investments during the quarter to support significant growth. Operating Income on a GAAP basis included the favorable effect of currency translation.
• Corporate expenses experienced higher share-based compensation.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Aramark reported a higher cash inflow in the second quarter compared to the prior year period, associated with stronger earnings and favorable working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter increased 56% to $400 million, and Free Cash Flow grew 116% to $305 million.

In the second quarter, the Company proactively repaid approximately $55 million of Term Loan B due June 2030 and repurchased approximately $25 million of its common stock. Aramark has repurchased more than 5 million of its shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $194 million since the inception of the Company's share repurchase program.

Aramark’s capital allocation priorities remain unchanged: invest in the business to drive and propel growth; repay debt on an ongoing basis, with leverage expected to be under 3.0x by the end of fiscal 2026; increase the dividend annually; and utilize excess cash generation to opportunistically repurchase Aramark stock.

At quarter-end, the Company had more than $1.4 billion in cash availability.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION
Aramark's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock, as announced on May 6, 2026. The dividend will be payable on June 3, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2026.

BUSINESS UPDATE
In the second quarter, Aramark delivered significant year-over-year growth in both the top and bottom line, reflecting continued momentum across the organization. The business trends remain strong heading into the second half of the fiscal year, including 1) a client retention rate exceeding 98% across the Company; 2) sustained revenue growth in FSS United States and FSS International from broad-based net new business and ongoing base business expansion; 3) new client wins that have already reached a record $1 billion; and 4) Aramark's entry into the hyperscale AI data center market.

The Company recently launched Aramark Nexus^™, a new platform delivering integrated hospitality and workforce support services for the hyperscale AI data center market and other large-scale, complex, and often remote operating environments. Aramark is uniquely positioned to deliver on these integrated set of capabilities, supported by proven expertise in operating remote environments and an established competitive advantage. Aramark expects this new suite of services to generate margins above the Company average and achieve attractive investment returns. The Company believes there is substantial growth potential in this area of the business, in addition to Aramark's broader portfolio.

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.

Based on Aramark's strong performance in the first half of the fiscal year, the Company updated its Fiscal 2026 Outlook for Organic Revenue growth and reaffirmed expectations for AOI, Adjusted EPS, and Leverage Ratio.

Aramark continues to expect accelerated AOI and margin expansion this fiscal year, consistent with the Company's expectations, capitalizing on its multiple operating levers while mobilizing a record level of new business openings.

Aramark's newly awarded multi-year agreement with a top global hyperscaler is underway and service set to begin this fiscal year. This new business is not currently reflected in the Company's Fiscal 2026 Outlook with updates to be provided as the client engagement launches, grows, and scales.

Aramark currently anticipates its full-year performance for Fiscal 2026 as follows:

Organic Revenue growth at the high end of the Company's previously stated +7% to +9%; Adjusted Operating Income growth of +12% to +17%; Adjusted EPS growth of +20% to +25%; and Leverage Ratio under 3x

Note: All percentages above are on a constant currency basis

For easier comparison purposes, Fiscal 2025 Organic Revenue is on a 52-week basis

“We enter the second half of the fiscal year with confidence in our growth trajectory and our ability to capitalize on the significant opportunities immediately ahead,” Zillmer added. “Our teams continue to deliver outstanding performance, and we remain focused on building upon this momentum and driving the business to even greater levels of success.”

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.

Explanatory Notes to the Non-GAAP Schedules

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets - adjustments to eliminate the impact of amortization expense recognized on acquisition-related intangible assets.

Severance and Other Charges - adjustments to eliminate severance expenses in the applicable period ($5.5 million for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2026).

Gains, Losses and Settlements impacting comparability - adjustments to eliminate certain transactions that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance, primarily for non-cash charges for the impairment of certain assets related to a business held-for-sale ($6.1 million for year-to-date 2026), multiemployer pension plan withdrawal charge ($5.6 million for year-to-date 2026), legal charges related to an antitrust review ($1.3 million for year-to-date 2026), charges related to hyperinflation in Argentina ($0.9 million gain for the second quarter of 2026, $0.4 million gain for year-to-date 2026, $0.6 million loss for the second quarter of 2025 and $1.3 million loss for year-to-date 2025) and a charge for contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisition earn outs ($11.1 million for year-to-date 2025).

Effect of Debt Repayments and Refinancings on Interest Expense, net - adjustments to eliminate expenses associated with the refinancings by the Company in the applicable period such as payment of third party costs ($0.7 million for year-to-date 2026 and $5.8 million for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2025) and non-cash charges for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts ($0.4 million for year-to-date 2026 and $2.5 million for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2025).

Tax Impact of Adjustments to Adjusted Net Income - adjustments to eliminate the net tax impact of the adjustments to Adjusted Net Income calculated based on a blended United States federal and state tax rate for United States adjustments and the local country tax rate for adjustments in jurisdictions outside the United States. The adjustments also reverse the valuation allowance recorded based on the Company's ability to utilize foreign tax credits ($3.4 million for year-to-date 2026). Additionally, the adjustments reverse the release of a valuation allowance recorded at a foreign subsidiary ($8.6 million benefit for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2025) and eliminates the impact of the state tax treatment related to the sale of a minority interest ($4.4 million charge for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2025) and the tax related impact of the Company's spin-off of the Uniform segment, including non-deductible transaction costs ($3.6 million charge for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2025).

Effect of Currency Translation - adjustments to eliminate the impact that fluctuations in currency translation rates had on the comparative results by presenting the periods on a constant currency basis. Assumes constant foreign currency exchange rates based on the rates in effect for the prior year period being used in translation for the comparable current year period.
