The new contract unifies dining, athletics, vending, and campus life through Texas State Hospitality, a campus ecosystem Aramark is creating in partnership with TXST. “Texas State is committed to providing an exceptional campus experience for everyone who learns, works, and gathers here,” said Cynthia L.

Building a Connected Student-Centered Campus Ecosystem The partnership prioritizes a modernized dining experience. Dining environments will emphasize accessibility, varied menu options, technology-enabled convenience, and consistent service for students, faculty, and staff. Initial program enhancements and planned changes include: Reimagined residential dining halls at Commons, Harris, and the new Hilltop facility, each with a distinct culinary identity aligned to student preferences and campus culture. Expanded retail dining options across campus, featuring a mix of national brands, on-trend concepts, and rotating local and regional partners that reflect the flavors and traditions of Texas. Enhanced athletic fueling programs, including training tables, fueling stations, and performance-focused nutrition offerings designed to support student athlete success. Elevated gameday hospitality and fan experiences at UFCU Stadium and athletic venues, enhancing food, beverage, and service offerings to meet the energy, scale, and expectations of Pac-12 competition. Improved access for students living off-campus with mobile ordering, extended hours, grab-and-go formats, and locations along high-traffic campus pathways. Updated dining technology, including digital menu boards, mobile ordering, and unified point-of-sale systems to reduce wait times and improve service consistency. Expanded food security initiatives, including meal access programs and campus partnerships that increase flexibility while reducing stigma for students facing food insecurity. The hospitality program will continuously evolve through student feedback, performance insights, and campus collaboration—ensuring alignment with the needs of a dynamic university community and supporting Texas State’s continued academic and research growth.

Aramark Healthcare+ Recognized by Modern Healthcare as One of the “Best Places to Work™ in Healthcare” for Third Consecutive YearMay 20, 2026 8:15 AM
Business Wire Aramark Healthcare+ has been named to Modern Healthcare’s “Best Places to Work™ in Healthcare” list for 2026, marking the third consecutive year the organization has earned the recognition. Final rankings will be announced later this year. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260520433589/en/ “The strongest driver of our culture is how leaders show up for their teams every day,” said PJ Johnson, Aramark Healthcare+ President and CEO. “When people have clear expectations, access to development, and leaders who listen, it creates an environment where careers can grow and employees choose to stay. That consistency leads to hospitality excellence and is reflected in the experience our teammates share and ultimately, in this recognition by Modern Healthcare.” With more than 25,000 managed and direct teammates supporting over 600 healthcare facilities across 47 states, Aramark Healthcare+’s people-first approach extends directly into career development. Growth is embedded across all levels of the organization, particularly for frontline employees and operators who are critical to patient and client experiences. Clear pathways for advancement, accessible training and certifications, and active coaching from leaders help teammates build skills and advance their careers. Employees are encouraged to explore opportunities across roles, sites, and lines of business, which reinforces a culture where careers are built through mobility, exposure, and continuous development rather than a single linear path. Recent examples highlight how this focus takes shape across the organization. Frontline Environmental Services teams at a Healthcare+ account in North Carolina earned national recognition through participation in the annual Housekeeping Olympics, showcasing technical expertise and team development on a national stage. Culinary professionals benefit from enterprise-wide programs such as the Aramark Culinary Excellence (ACE) competition, which provides structured opportunities to refine skills, gain visibility, and advance alongside peers. At an account in Georgia, Aramark Healthcare+ partnered with hospital leadership to implement a jointly developed training and leadership framework for Environmental Services (EVS) employees. The program at this account aligns advancement opportunities with nationally recognized certifications through the Association for the Health Care Environment and has contributed to a 20-point increase in Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) cleanliness percentile scores, while also supporting strong employee retention. “Employees don’t just hear about values at Aramark Healthcare+—they experience them every single day. Whether it is through accessible leadership, recognition programs, or a strong emphasis on inclusion and belonging, employees feel seen and valued at every level,” Johnson added. About Aramark Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) proudly serves the world’s leading educational institutions, Fortune 500 companies, world champion sports teams, prominent healthcare providers, iconic destinations and cultural attractions, and numerous municipalities in 16 countries around the world with food and facilities management.

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% Corporate (34) (29) (18)%   (34) (29) (18)% (18)% 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.” CONFERENCE CALL SCHEDULED
The Company has scheduled a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET today to discuss its earnings and outlook. This call and related materials can be heard and reviewed, either live or on a delayed basis, on the Company's website, www.aramark.com, on the investor relations page. About Aramark

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.

Aramark Employees Unite for Global Day of Service Across Four ContinentsApril 13, 2026 8:15 AM
Business Wire
Thousands of Aramark employees worldwide will roll up their sleeves on April 16 for Aramark Building Community Day (ABC Day), the company's annual Global Day of Service. Volunteers across the United States and in 12 countries will support more than 100 community organizations with neighborhood beautification, hands-on revitalization projects, and meal and hygiene kit assembly.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260413377232/en/
Why it matters: ABC Day reflects Aramark's year-round commitment to the communities where its employees live and work—and this year's effort is one of the largest yet.


The big picture: Cross-functional volunteer teams spanning every line of Aramark's business will take on projects in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Spain, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.


"Each year, ABC Day demonstrates the power of uniting our global workforce around a single, meaningful purpose: service," said John Zillmer, Aramark CEO. "Since the first ABC Day over ten years ago, we have made significant contributions to our communities as we continue to strengthen our culture of service."


Signature U.S. Sites


Four cities were designated as signature sites, anchored by Aramark's regional volunteers:


Philadelphia



Partnering with the City of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Visitor Center, and the Philadelphia250 initiative, 250 Aramark volunteers will help the city prepare for the U.S. Semiquincentennial (the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence).


Aramark is the “Beautification” sponsor for the City’s Ring It On! One Philly: A United Celebration program, focused on improving key commercial and neighborhood corridors across Philadelphia.


One hundred Aramark volunteers will transform an underused lot in the city’s Point Breeze neighborhood into a shared picnic area, adding planter boxes, seating, murals, and improved walkways to support the neighborhood’s weekly farmers market.


In West Philadelphia, teams will work with the Fourth District Container Village to build garden beds, paint signs and benches, and add murals and a walking track for residents.



Las Vegas



Fifty volunteers return to Opportunity Village for landscaping, planting, and exterior painting. Teams will add safety features to the "Magical Forest," including solar-powered lamps, fencing, and handrails—and refresh a concession stand for new flooring and a "Santa Cabin."



Washington, D.C.



One hundred volunteers will improve the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington–Richard England Club through interior painting, murals, furniture assembly, and art room organization. Teams will also assemble snack-pack kits for students and families in a high food-insecurity area.



Kansas City, Missouri



Fifty volunteers will support Nourish KC by building picnic tables, planting flowers, constructing an herb garden, and installing shelving indoors. The team will also assemble 100 hygiene kits, 100 snack-pack kits, and contribute painted memorial panels to the organization's space.



International


Aramark employees will be participating in dozens of volunteer projects across 13 countries. Highlights include:



Canada: Employees across Canada will participate in a series of volunteer initiatives, including a hygiene kit assembly for women and a food demonstration for Indigenous youth in Calgary. In Ottawa, the team will partner with Second Harvest to direct food donations to Indigenous Friendship Centres through the National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC). In Vancouver, volunteers will serve hot, nutritious meals to individuals experiencing homelessness.




Chile: Hundreds of volunteers will support local non-profit organizations and will lead clean-up/waste-minimization work, prepare over 600 meals, and revitalize a preschool playground.


South Korea: Volunteers will lead projects in support of the Korean Legacy Committee, Ronald McDonald House Charities Korea, Happy Giver, and Song Juk Won; and will assemble hygiene kits, host cooking demos, serve meals, and prep boxed lunches.


United Kingdom: Volunteers will support Dress for Success Greater London, Shooting Stars House and Hospice, and Springwell Academy Leeds East by revitalizing community spaces, organizing clothing inventory, hosting donation drives, and restoring bikes for students.



"Service is how we show up for our communities—not just in the work we do every day, but in the time and care our people give back," said Debbie Albert, Senior Vice President of Aramark Corporate Affairs. "ABC Day puts that commitment into action on a global scale, and the impact our volunteers make in a single day is a testament to what this company stands for."


About Aramark Building Community


Since 2008, Aramark Building Community has supported thousands of impactful programs, engaged more than 80,000 employee volunteers, and impacted more than two million children and families worldwide. ABC Day, launched in 2014, focuses on increasing access to food, empowering careers through hospitality skills development, and encouraging environmental stewardship.


Aramark partners with City Year's Care Force® division for expert planning and execution of high-impact service events.

Aramark Collegiate Hospitality Announces New Partnership with Suffolk University to Strengthen Student ExperienceApril 10, 2026 8:00 AM
Business Wire
Aramark Collegiate Hospitality today announced a new partnership with Suffolk University slated to begin in Summer 2026. This collaboration introduces Suffolk Dining, a new dining program designed to elevate food quality, expand access, and strengthen Suffolk’s competitive position in the heart of downtown Boston.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260410215312/en/Aramark Collegiate Hospitality today announced a new partnership with Suffolk University slated to begin in Summer 2026. This collaboration introduces Suffolk Dining, a new dining program designed to elevate food quality, expand access, and strengthen Suffolk’s competitive position in the heart of downtown Boston.
“Suffolk Dining reflects a shift toward a more welcoming, inclusive, and value-driven campus experience — one that supports our students’ daily lives, strengthens community, and aligns with the way students actually live and learn in an urban campus,” said Brian McDermott, Associate Vice President for Campus Experience, Suffolk University.


The new Suffolk Dining meal plan increases the number of meals per week offered in the default residential plan, and students will no longer manage declining balances—instead, they’ll benefit from predictable meal access, with the flexibility to choose All-You-Care-To-Enjoy (AYCTE) dining, meal exchange for grab-and-go options, or Dining Dollars for retail convenience.


“Suffolk University’s commitment to reimagining dining as a driver of belonging, access, and student success mirrors our own hospitality-first approach, and we are excited to be part of their story,” said Barbara Flanagan, President and CEO of Aramark Collegiate Hospitality. “Together, we’re building a modern program that reflects the energy of downtown Boston, supports student well-being, and delivers long-term value for the University community.”


Key Highlights of the Partnership



Dining as a Differentiator: A refreshed hospitality brand, visible upgrades, and expanded culinary identity will position Suffolk as a leader in student life and enrollment. Suffolk Dining emphasizes community-building spaces, modern service models, and a hospitality-first approach that extends beyond food.



Expanded Access & Inclusion: The new model introduces predictable, consistent access to meals — including All-You-Care-To-Enjoy dining and meal exchange at key retail locations — reducing the stress of budgeting and supporting students who previously ran out of dining funds mid-semester. Culturally inclusive menus and commuter-friendly options ensure that a diverse student body feels seen, welcomed, and supported.



Culinary Innovation: Menus inspired by global flavors, rotating concepts, and local sourcing will bring variety and excitement to campus. The program incorporates monotony breakers, themed events, and wellness-driven offerings designed to make dining a vibrant part of student life.



Technology Integration: Mobile ordering, self-service kiosks, improved throughput, and future smart-locker pickup solutions will deliver greater convenience and speed across Suffolk’s campus. The move to Grubhub replaces Boost and provides a familiar, intuitive interface for students and employees.



The partnership aligns with Suffolk’s strategic priorities and reflects Aramark’s commitment to innovation and long-term financial sustainability. Through a multiyear plan, Aramark will invest in and deliver a dining experience designed to enhance the student experience, support well-being, and foster a strong sense of community across Suffolk’s residential and commuter populations.

Las Vegas A’s, Will Guidara, and Aramark Sports + Entertainment Reveal Vision for First-of-its-Kind Athletic Club Behind Home Plate of A’s New BallparkMarch 6, 2026 8:00 AM
Business Wire
Acclaimed Restaurateur Guidara to Bring His Award-Winning Hospitality Strategy and Elevated Dining Experience to His First Concept Inside a Professional Sports Venue


All-Inclusive Space for Season Ticket Members to Reimagine Baseball Hospitality with Private Restaurant and Supper Club, Lounge, and Unique Game-Day Experiences


The Athletics (A’s), world-renowned restaurateur Will Guidara, and Aramark Sports + Entertainment (Aramark; NYSE: ARMK) today revealed the vision for the Athletic Club: a first-of-its-kind, all-inclusive hospitality experience that will be located directly behind home plate in the A’s new Las Vegas ballpark, set to open in 2028. Tickets will go on sale later this month to individuals on the Priority Access List.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260306948964/en/The Athletic Club, located directly behind home plate, will feature a private restaurant and supper club, lounge, and unique game-day experiences.
Designed to transform the traditional game-day experience and completely reimagine baseball hospitality, the Athletic Club has been meticulously crafted by Guidara –- author of Unreasonable Hospitality, former co-owner of the Best Restaurant in the World, and Co-Producer on the Emmy Award-winning series “The Bear” –- and marks the first time he’s implementing his pioneering hospitality principles within a professional sports venue.


“What we set out to build here is something a little different — a space built around a simple idea: what if getting to the stadium early became one of the best parts of the night?” said Guidara. “Some of the best moments in life happen around a table. It’s where people slow down, share a drink, tell stories, and settle into each other’s company. We wanted to bring that spirit into the ballpark and create a place where gathering together is part of the experience, not just a stop along the way to the game.


Every part of the space was designed with intention — the food, the service, the atmosphere, the details you might not notice right away but feel the moment you walk in. At the center of it all is a commitment to thoughtfulness and genuine graciousness. Our hope is that it pushes the conversation forward about how people come together before a game and opens the door to a new kind of ballpark experience — one that begins long before the first pitch.”


The Athletic Club is designed to be the most exclusive space in the ballpark, with access reserved for A’s premium season-ticket members seated behind home plate. Members will enjoy a private restaurant and supper club offering a multi-course, table-service menu, as well as an upscale lounge featuring small plates and a full bar with craft beer, curated wines, and premium cocktails.


Every game will feature personalized, high-touch hospitality delivered by maître d’s, sommeliers, and dining concierges who anticipate needs, honor personal preferences, and create memorable moments. The experience has been designed to extend throughout the length of each game, sustaining a vibrant energy with special grab-and-go offerings, in-seat beverage service, surprise culinary moments, and a dramatic signature candy wall.


Diamond Club Joins Lineup of Elevated Premium Spaces


To further amplify the stadium’s premium hospitality program, Aramark and Guidara have also developed the Diamond Club, an all-inclusive social hub for premium ticket members located adjacent to the Athletic Club behind home plate. Diamond Club members will enjoy a food and beverage experience featuring Vegas-inspired food stations inclusive of locally curated dishes, chef’s specials, and a bold selection of elevated game day favorites.


Aramark Sports + Entertainment President and CEO Alison Birdwell said that Las Vegas inspired their premium approach from the start. “Vegas is a truly one-of-a-kind market, and we set out to introduce an entirely new level of hospitality that matches the energy and spectacle of the city,” she said. “We’re creating a ballpark environment where service and food redefine the way fans enjoy baseball. Partnering with Will ensures that we deliver a Vegas-worthy experience that creates memories for guests that will last a lifetime.”


Ticket Information


The Athletic Club and Diamond Club will go on sale later this month to those on the Priority Access List. Fans interested in learning more or securing seats must schedule an in-person appointment at the Ballpark Experience Center at UnCommons, with availability offered on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, visit athletics.com/vegas.


“The Athletic Club is about providing fans with something innovative and unique that exists only in Las Vegas,” said A’s President Marc Badain. “By partnering with Will and Aramark, we’re setting a new standard for baseball hospitality, delivering exceptional food and service in a way that feels right at home in this city.”

Aramark Reports First Quarter EarningsFebruary 10, 2026 6:31 AM
Business Wire
YEAR-OVER-YEAR SUMMARY


Note: As previously disclosed, the calendar shift resulting from the 53rd week in fiscal 2025 affects quarterly comparisons in fiscal 2026. In the first quarter of the current fiscal year, this shift reduced Revenue / Organic Revenue, Operating Income / AOI, and EPS / Adjusted EPS growth


The calendar shift is expected to favorably increase Revenue / Organic Revenue, Operating Income / AOI, and EPS / Adjusted EPS growth in the second quarter (next quarter) as part of the Company's results



Revenue +6%; Organic Revenue +5%


Organic Revenue growth would have been approximately +8% without the calendar shift; Performance driven by base business expansion and net new business



Strong momentum in new business wins and unprecedented client retention; Net New Business currently outperforming the run-rate to achieve full year growth objectives







Operating Income +0.1%; Adjusted Operating Income (AOI) +1%1


AOI growth would have been approximately +11%1 without the calendar shift



Leveraged enhanced technology capabilities across portfolio; Profitability benefited from higher revenue levels, supply chain efficiencies, and organizational cost discipline







GAAP EPS (8)% to $0.36; Adjusted EPS Unchanged at $0.51


Adjusted EPS growth would have been +13%1 without the calendar shift



Highly confident in realizing additional growth opportunities immediately ahead







Ongoing Focus on Advancing Capital Allocation Priorities


Repurchased another $30 million of stock as part of the Company's share repurchase program



Favorably repriced $2.4 billion of 2030 Term Loans by 25 basis points; Interest expense savings from proactive actions






Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) today reported first quarter fiscal 2026 results.


"We’re very pleased with the strong results delivered in the quarter, which included extraordinary client retention while continuing our momentum with significant new business,” said John Zillmer, Aramark’s Chief Executive Officer. "We firmly believe in our ability to achieve the numerous growth opportunities immediately ahead for the Company, propelled by the strategic and operational initiatives underway. Our success comes from the teams throughout the organization and around the globe who show up every day with purpose, serving with integrity, solving problems with ingenuity, and delivering consistent excellence.”

On a constant currency basis







FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Consolidated revenue was $4.8 billion in the first quarter, a 6% increase year-over-year. The favorable effect of currency translation increased revenue by approximately $51 million. Organic revenue, which excludes the effect of currency translation, was higher by 5% compared to the same year-ago period. The calendar shift from the 53rd week in the prior year reduced revenue by an estimated 3%, principally in the FSS United States segment. Organic Revenue growth in the quarter would have been approximately 8% without the calendar shift. Growth was strengthened by both base business expansion and net new business.

Difference between Change (%) and Organic Revenue Change (%) is the effect of currency translation








FSS United States revenue growth was led by 1) Business & Industry from new client wins, higher base business activity, and mobilizing new Refreshments accounts; 2) Healthcare from base business growth as a result of vertical sales and expansion of multi-service offerings; and 3) Sports, Leisure & Corrections from new business wins, particularly in collegiate athletics. Organic Revenue growth would have been an estimated 5% without the calendar shift, which affected the Education, Business & Industry, and Sports, Leisure & Corrections sectors.



FSS International revenue growth was broad-based across all countries, driven by ongoing base business expansion and net new business performance—with the U.K., Chile, Germany, and Spain driving the increase. The calendar shift impacted both GAAP Revenue and Organic Revenue growth by an estimated 1%. Revenue on a GAAP basis included the favorable effect of currency translation.



Operating Income was $218 million, slightly higher than the prior year period, and AOI increased 1%1 to $263 million. Profit growth was reduced by an estimated $25 million from the calendar shift. AOI growth in the quarter would have been approximately 11%1 without the calendar shift. The quarter benefited from higher revenue levels, the leveraging of technology capabilities, particularly in supply chain, and disciplined organizational cost management. The effect of currency translation increased Operating Income by approximately $2 million.

FSS United States performance included increased revenue levels, enhanced technology driving back-end efficiencies and productivity in supply chain, and disciplined above-unit cost management. These gains were more than offset by the calendar shift, which reduced profitability by an estimated 10%. AOI growth in the quarter would have been approximately 9% without the calendar shift.



FSS International increased due to higher base business volume, effective above-unit cost management, and strengthened supply chain economics, similar to the FSS United States segment. In a few countries, FSS International experienced some mobilization costs associated with record new business in Sports & Entertainment and Higher Education, as well as a slight impact from the calendar shift.



CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

As expected, the first quarter recorded a cash outflow associated with the Company's seasonal business cadence, as well as a higher use of working capital compared to the prior year period from revenue growth. Capital expenditures were greater due to the timing of commitments associated with record new business and certain client renewals.


Aramark continued to advance its capital allocation priorities by repurchasing another $30 million of its common stock as part of the Company's share repurchase program. In addition, Aramark successfully completed a favorable repricing for its 2030 Term Loan B of $2.4 billion at lower interest rates. The new applicable interest rate reduced pricing by 25 basis points and will generate annual interest expense savings. The repricing did not change the Company’s outstanding debt amounts or maturities.


Aramark remains committed to its capital allocation strategy to 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 approximately $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 February 4, 2026. The dividend will be payable on March 4, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 18, 2026. As previously announced, the Board approved a 14% increase to Aramark's quarterly dividend in November 2025.


BUSINESS UPDATE

The Company is off to a great start to fiscal 2026, with momentum building across the business. New business wins were extensive in the quarter, and the Company delivered unprecedented client retention levels in both FSS United States and International—resulting in currently outpacing the run-rate to achieve Aramark's Net New Business target of 4% to 5% of prior year revenue.


The Company is highly committed to expanding its Global Supply Chain network and is actively pursuing meaningful business opportunities in hospitality categories, while continuing to benefit from increased volume and scale.


Aramark remains focused on driving profitability from its multiple operating levers, including supply chain initiatives and effective cost management. Among these strategies, AI-driven technology is enhancing the Company's supply chain capabilities, delivering back-end efficiencies and actionable business insights.


As referenced earlier, the calendar shift from the 53rd week in the prior year is expected to benefit Revenue / Organic Revenue, Operating Income / AOI, and EPS / Adjusted EPS in the second quarter as part of the Company's results.


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.

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 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; the effect of debt repayments and refinancings 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 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 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.


Net New Business

Net New Business is an internal statistical metric used to evaluate our new sales and retention performance. The calculation is defined as the annualized value of gross new business less the annualized value of lost business.


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.


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 the first quarter of 2026), multiemployer pension plan withdrawal charge ($5.6 million for the first quarter of 2026), legal charges related to an antitrust review ($1.3 million for the first quarter of 2026), charges related to hyperinflation in Argentina ($0.5 million for the first quarter of 2026 and $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2025) and a charge for contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisition earn outs ($11.1 million for the first quarter of 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. Additionally, the adjustment reverses the valuation allowance recorded based on the Company's ability to utilize foreign tax credits ($3.4 million for the first quarter of 2026).


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.

Some of the factors that we believe could affect or continue to affect our results include without limitation: unfavorable economic conditions; natural disasters, global calamities, climate change, pandemics, energy shortages, sports strikes and other adverse incidents; geopolitical events including ongoing tensions in the Middle East, global supply chain disruptions, inflation, volatility and disruption of global financial markets; the impact of the United States' and other countries’ trade policies including the implementation of tariffs; 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; currency risks and other risks associated with international operations, including compliance with a broad range of laws and regulations, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; risks associated with suppliers from whom our products are sourced; disruptions to our relationship with our distribution partners; the contract intensive nature of our business, which may lead to client disputes; the inability to hire and retain key or sufficiently qualified personnel or increases in labor costs; our expansion strategy and our ability to successfully integrate the businesses we acquire and costs and timing related thereto; continued or further unionization of our workforce; liability resulting from our participation in multiemployer defined benefit pension plans; laws and 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; increases or changes in income tax rates or tax-related laws; potential liabilities, increased costs, reputational harm, and other adverse effects based on our commitments and stakeholder expectations relating to environmental, social and governance considerations; the failure to maintain food safety throughout our supply chain, food-borne illness concerns and claims of illness or injury; a cybersecurity incident or other disruptions in the availability of our computer systems or privacy breaches; the use of artificial intelligence technologies within our business processes; our leverage; variable rate indebtedness that subjects us to interest rate risk; the inability to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness; debt agreements that limit our flexibility in operating our business; risks associated with the completed spin-off of Aramark Uniform and Career Apparel as an independent publicly traded company to our stockholders; and other factors set forth under the headings "Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors," "Part I, Item 3 Legal Proceedings" and "Part II, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 25, 2025 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 at www.aramark.com. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included herein 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.

LONDON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Compass Group (Other OTC: CMPGF - news) , the world's biggest catering company, launched a 500 million pound ($809 million) share buyback on Wednesday, its third in as many years.
The British firm, which employs more than 500,000 people to feed office workers, soldiers and school children, also reported underlying pretax profit up 9 percent to 1.2 billion pounds in the year to end-Sept, slightly ahead of analyst expectations.
New contract wins in the U.S. and emerging markets, particularly its deals with Ascension Health and Texas A&M University , pushed organic revenue growth to 4.3 percent. Revenue for 2013 was 17.6 billion pounds.
Compass, which estimates that the outsourced food market is worth around 200 billion pounds, also signed new deals with LinkedIn, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and AEGON USA this year.
The firm reported its highest ever operating margin of 7.1 percent, helped by it closing businesses and exiting uncertain contracts in Europe. It said conditions in Europe and Japan, where it gets just over a third of its revenue, would remain tough.
Its biggest rival Sodexo (Berlin: SJ7.BE - news) warned earlier this month that austerity-hit Europe and a slowdown in emerging markets would weigh on its results in the short term.
Compass also increased its dividend by 12.7 percent on a year earlier to 24 pence

SORRY ... not true. Compass Group is the largest food service provider in the world $30 Billion, 9 largest employer in the world, London based company, trades international. Aramark is not even close to the valuation of Compass. Sodexho is also a player in the market.Growth is there but Compass smashes them in all sectors.
