Insights

From a financial perspective, the reported increase in revenue and adjusted operating income (AOI) for Aramark indicates a robust financial performance, which is particularly notable given the current economic climate. A 13% year-over-year growth in revenue, coupled with a 28% increase in AOI, suggests that the company's pricing strategies and cost management initiatives are proving effective. The reduction in net debt by over $2.2 billion and the repayment of senior notes ahead of schedule could signal a strong balance sheet, likely to be viewed favorably by investors. The declaration of a quarterly dividend also reflects confidence in the company's financial health and its ability to generate cash flow.

The updated outlook for fiscal 2024, with an increase in AOI and adjusted EPS growth expectations, indicates management's optimism about the company's future performance. However, investors should be aware of the inherent uncertainties in such forward-looking statements, which are based on assumptions that may change due to unforeseen economic factors.

The double-digit growth in both the FSS United States and International segments suggests that Aramark's market position is strong and it is successfully expanding its client base. The growth in the Collegiate Hospitality and Sports & Entertainment sectors is particularly encouraging, as these are areas with high customer engagement and potential for repeat business. The record first quarter profit in the International segment, despite the sale of AIM Services, demonstrates Aramark's ability to scale and adapt to market changes effectively.

Furthermore, the company's focus on supply chain initiatives and cost management is timely, given global concerns about supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures. Aramark's reported moderation in inflation and its tailwind to profitability may provide a competitive edge in bidding for new contracts and maintaining margins.

The mention of inflation moderating and providing a tailwind to profitability is an important macroeconomic factor. Inflation rates have a direct impact on consumer spending power and business costs. Aramark's ability to manage these pressures effectively is critical to maintaining profitability. The company's strategic initiatives, such as supply chain optimization and cost management, are essential in an environment where economic uncertainties, such as fluctuating inflation rates and currency translation effects, can impact operational costs and margins.

The company's outlook for organic revenue growth and leverage ratio improvement suggests that they are expecting economic conditions that will continue to favor their business model. However, the reliance on non-GAAP measures like Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EPS for forward-looking statements may require stakeholders to consider the non-standardized nature of these measures and the potential for differences in interpretation.

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) today reported first quarter fiscal 2024 results.

"Aramark is off to a great start in this new fiscal year, achieving record revenue across both our FSS U.S. and International segments, along with record first quarter profit in International,” said John Zillmer, Aramark's Chief Executive Officer. “Our teams around the globe are successfully executing on our growth strategies, which are driving top- and bottom- line performance. We’ve seen inflation continue to moderate, which provided a tailwind to profitability during the quarter. We believe the current market landscape presents tremendous opportunities, and both our growth leaders and our supply chain organization are hard at work implementing strategies to further unlock this potential.”

FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Consolidated revenue was $4.4 billion in the first quarter, a 13% increase year-over-year, due to a strong increase in base business volume, pricing actions, and net new business growth. The effect of currency translation reduced revenue by $3 million.

Organic revenue, which adjusts for the effect of currency translation, also grew 13% compared to the prior year period.

  • FSS United States revenue growth was led by 1) Education, particularly in Collegiate Hospitality with strong performance in residential dining, retail and catering, as well as contract price increases with the start of the academic year; 2) higher per capita spending and attendance levels at stadiums, along with increased concert activity, in the Sports & Entertainment business; and 3) the start up of significant new client wins and strong base business growth in the Business & Industry sector.
  • FSS International revenue grew across all geographies from consistent net new business performance and ongoing base business growth—particularly in the U.K., Canada, and Germany, as well as throughout Latin America.

Operating Income increased 10% year-over-year to $167 million, and AOI grew 28%1 to $231 million. Operating income margin was 9 basis points less than the prior year from higher expenses associated with the completion of the Uniform Services spin-off. AOI margin improved by 64 basis points1 year-over-year. Increased profitability was driven by effective cost management across significantly higher revenue levels and the early benefits from favorable inflation trends. Currency translation had a negligible effect on operating income.

*FSS International Q1 '23 results included the contribution of the Company's noncontrolling interest in AIM Services, which was sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2023

Year-over-year profitability growth resulted from the following segment performance:

  • FSS United States drove effective cost management across higher base business volume and benefited from improved supply chain economics related to product sourcing and purchasing initiatives.
  • FSS International effectively scaled significant growth in base business and net new business, along with stronger supply chain economics. The segment had record first quarter profitability, despite not having the contribution of AIM Services following the Company's sale of its noncontrolling interest in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
  • Corporate expenses benefited primarily from tightly managed above-unit overhead costs, in addition to lower share-based compensation expense. GAAP results reflected higher spin-off related expenses in the current period.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Consistent with the typical quarterly seasonality of the business, Aramark experienced a cash outflow in the first quarter, particularly in Collegiate Hospitality and Sports & Entertainment, as well as a higher use of working capital to support the Company's strong revenue growth. Additionally, Aramark had higher income tax payments in the current year mainly from the prior year sale of AIM Services and paid transaction fees in the quarter related to the completion of the Uniform Services spin-off.

Aramark reduced its net debt position by more than $2.2 billion compared to the prior year period. In the first quarter, the Company redeemed the entire $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 from the proceeds received in conjunction with the Uniform Services spin-off. At quarter-end, Aramark had over $1.0 billion in cash availability.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION
The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of 9.5 cents per share of common stock, as announced on January 31, 2024. The dividend will be payable on February 28, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 14, 2024. As previously communicated, this dividend amount continues to represent an increase to Aramark's portion of the pre-spin quarterly dividend due to the Company's strengthening financial profile.

BUSINESS UPDATE
Aramark is off to a strong start in fiscal 2024, reflecting the Company's commitment to its strategic and financial goals. Top-line performance demonstrated the growth mindset firmly in place across the organization, which contributed to increased volume, revenue from net new business, and pricing actions. Improved bottom-line results were primarily due to effective cost management and supply chain strategies, combined with favorable inflation trends. The Company anticipates continued profitable growth and margin expansion through the operational maturing of new business, ongoing supply chain initiatives, front-line contribution from leveraging a flexible operating model and cost control measures. Aramark continues to expect its typical "U-shaped" margin seasonality.

OUTLOOK
The Company provides its expectations for organic revenue growth, Adjusted Operating Income growth, Adjusted Earnings per Share growth, 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 2024 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.

Aramark is highly encouraged by the favorable trends in the business. As a result, the Company updated its fiscal 2024 outlook for both AOI and Adjusted EPS growth and reaffirmed expectations for Organic Revenue growth and Leverage Ratio.

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 change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; severance and other charges; spin-off related charges and other items impacting comparability.

Adjusted Operating Income (Constant Currency)
Adjusted Operating Income (Constant Currency) represents Adjusted Operating Income adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation.

Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income represents Net income from Continuing Operations attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; severance and other charges; spin-off related charges; the effect of debt 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), Net of Interest Adjustment
Adjusted Net Income (Constant Currency), Net of Interest Adjustment represents Adjusted Net Income adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation and interest expense, net of tax, recorded during fiscal 2023 on the $1.5 billion Senior Notes due 2025 that were repaid in the current year.

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 and the effect of the current year repayment of the Senior Notes due 2025 on interest expense, net of tax, recorded during fiscal 2023.

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA
Covenant Adjusted EBITDA represents Net income from Continuing Operations 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.

Items to Rebase
Items to Rebase represents the elimination of balances related to the Company's Uniform segment, along with other adjustments related to the spin-off of the Uniform segment, and the elimination of adjustments related to the effect of certain acquisitions.

We use Adjusted Revenue (Organic), Adjusted Operating Income (including on a constant currency basis), Adjusted Net Income (including on a constant currency basis, net of interest adjustment), 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.
