Aramark (NYSE:ARMK) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2025.

"Fiscal 2025 represented many consequential milestones for the Company, contributing to the strong growth trajectory ahead," said John Zillmer, Aramark CEO. "In addition to being awarded one of the most prestigious medical systems in the world, we delivered almost $1 billion in Annualized Net New business, added more than $1 billion of new purchasing spend in our Global Supply Chain network for a second consecutive year, and achieved a leverage ratio of 3.25x, a number we haven't seen since prior to when Aramark went private in 2007."

"We take delivering on our commitments very seriously. Our actions have centered on building a high performing business focused on providing exceptional hospitality to our clients and I want to reiterate that we are resolutely committed to achieving our financial objectives and generating significant shareholder value."

FISCAL 2025 SUMMARY

Consolidated revenue was $18.5 billion, an increase of 6% year-over-year. The effect of currency translation reduced revenue by $70 million. Organic revenue grew 7% compared to the prior year period. Growth was strengthened by net new business and base business volume, somewhat offset by the Company's portfolio exits in Facilities in fiscal 2024. The contribution from the 53rd week increased revenue by an estimated 2%.

As Aramark began onboarding an unprecedented level of new business, the Company worked closely with certain large clients toward the end of the fourth quarter to prepare for a seamless transition to Aramark becoming their new Hospitality partner. In some cases, this led to a shift in the timing of new account openings. With many of these sites now up and running, the Company believes it is well positioned for strong performance in the quarters ahead.

Operating income increased 12% year-over-year to $792 million and AOI grew 12%¹ to $981 million, which represented an operating margin increase of 20 basis points and AOI margin expansion of nearly 25 basis points¹ year-over-year. Profitability growth resulted from higher revenue levels, expanded supply chain capabilities, and disciplined above-unit cost management. These increases more than offset additional incentive-based compensation recorded in the fourth quarter of approximately $25 million, or 3%, associated with achieving record Net New business.

The effect of currency translation reduced operating income by $4 million.

Aramark's earnings per share in fiscal 2025 was $1.22, compared to $0.99 in fiscal 2024. Adjusted earnings per share increased 19%¹ to $1.82. The additional incentive-based compensation in the fourth quarter impacted Adjusted EPS by approximately 5%, or $0.07.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Consolidated revenue was $5.0 billion in the fourth quarter, a 14% increase year-over-year both on a GAAP and organic revenue basis, primarily driven by substantial new business, high retention levels, and base business volume. The contribution from the 53rd week increased revenue by an estimated 7%.

The effect of currency translation increased GAAP revenue by $22 million.

FSS United States revenue growth was led by 1) Business & Industry continuing its strong pace of record net new business; 2) Education with high retention rates, meal plan optimization, and benefits from increased student enrollment; and 3) Healthcare reporting its best performance in over two years—which more than offset a shift in the timing of new account openings and a majority of the Company's MLB teams within Sports & Entertainment ultimately falling out of playoff contention towards the end of the quarter.
FSS International delivered another strong quarter of revenue growth, with broad-based contributions across geographies, particularly in the U.K., Canada, Ireland, Spain and Latin America. Top performing industries included Business & Industry, Healthcare, Education, and Extractive Services. Revenue on a GAAP basis reflected the effect of currency translation as referenced above.

In the fourth quarter, operating income was unchanged at $218 million compared to the prior year, and AOI grew 6%¹ to $289 million. GAAP Operating Income reflected restructuring initiatives to further optimize operations. AOI growth was from higher revenue levels, leveraging technology capabilities, particularly in supply chain, and above-unit cost management. These increases more than offset elevated expenses in incentive-based compensation (approximately $25 million) and certain medical prescription claims ($5 million), as well as some new business start-up costs largely in Higher Education and Collegiate Sports. Excluding these items, AOI margin would have increased by an additional 70 basis points. The Company has taken actions to decrease future medical expenses, specifically related to certain elective lifestyle prescriptions.

	Operating Income			Adjusted Operating Income (AOI)
	Q4 '25	Q4 '24	Change (%)	Q4 '25	Q4 '24	Change (%)	Constant Currency Change (%)
FSS United States	$212M	$201M	6%	$246M	$241M	2%	2%

FSS United States experienced higher revenue levels, enhanced technology capabilities, particularly within supply chain, and disciplined above-unit cost management, which more than offset the expense items referenced above. Excluding these items, AOI would have increased by an additional 12%.

Aramark also took the opportunity to make some strategic reinvestments within Destinations, which included property development, digital marketing optimization, and other enhancements to drive the guest experience.
FSS International benefited from increased revenue, disciplined management of operating costs, and supply chain efficiencies.

Operating income in the quarter included severance charges from restructuring initiatives to further optimize operations.
Corporate expenses reflected higher incentive-based compensation.

Aramark's earnings per share in the fourth quarter was $0.33, compared to $0.46 in fiscal 2024. GAAP EPS in the quarter reflected a non-cash asset impairment associated with a minority interest investment made in a previous fiscal year. Adjusted earnings per share increased 6%¹ to $0.57. The additional incentive-based compensation impacted Adjusted EPS by 13%, or $0.07.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Net cash provided by operating activities increased 27% to $921 million in fiscal 2025 and Free Cash Flow grew 41% to $454 million. The year-over-year increase was led by stronger cash from operations and favorable working capital. In the fourth quarter, the Company had a significant source of cash driven by the Collegiate Hospitality business, consistent with Aramark's historical seasonality.

The Company's leverage ratio improved to 3.25x at the end of September 2025, compared to 3.41x a year ago, and represented the lowest level in nearly 20 years. Aramark continues to take proactive actions to further enhance the Company's strong balance sheet and reduce its leverage ratio. In the fiscal year, Aramark repurchased in excess of 4 million shares of stock. Subsequent to year-end, the Company has repurchased shares in the market under a 10b5-1 program.

Aramark's capital allocation priorities remain unchanged: 1) invest in the business to drive and propel growth; 2) reduce leverage below 3.0x; 3) grow quarterly dividend payments; and 4) repurchase Aramark stock using excess cash generation.

At fiscal year-end, the Company had over $2.4 billion in cash availability.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

Aramark's Board of Directors approved a 14% increase to Aramark's quarterly dividend. The dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock will be payable on December 17, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 5, 2025.

BUSINESS UPDATE

In fiscal 2025, Aramark capitalized on extensive new business opportunities, resulting in annualized gross new business wins of $1.6 billion—more than 12% greater than fiscal 2024. The Company also achieved a client retention rate of 96.3% with many LOBs and countries even higher. Combined, this represented unprecedented annualized Net New business for the Company at 5.6% of prior year revenue, which included the largest contract win ever awarded in FSS United States history—and is also one of the most prestigious medical systems in the world—scheduled to commence operations early in the new year.

Aramark believes in its continued ability to achieve Net New business of at least 4% to 5% of prior year revenue—with retention levels above 95%. The new business pipeline across the organization is significant, including in first-time outsourcing, and Aramark is already off to another strong start at this early stage in the new fiscal year.

The Company is also focused on accelerating profitability from its multiple operating levers, which include differentiated supply chain capabilities and disciplined cost management, building upon Aramark's efficiencies and scale.

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.

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

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 attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; severance and other charges; spin-off related charges; loss (gain) on equity investments, net; 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 provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations 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 provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations, 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.
