Q - Aramark

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Aramark (the "Company") is a leading global provider of food and facilities services to education, healthcare, business & industry and sports, leisure & corrections clients. The Company's largest market is the United States, which is supplemented by an additional 15-country footprint. The Company also provides services on a more limited basis in several additional countries and in offshore locations. The Company operates its business intwo reportable segments that share many of the same operating characteristics: Food and Support Services United States ("FSS United States") and Food and Support Services International ("FSS International").

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 19, 2024. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 27, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company's business activities and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

New Accounting Standards Updates

Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance)

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires disclosure of additional information related to certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. The guidance also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and the Company’s definition of selling expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2028 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2029. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosuresto enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance will require improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for the Company's annual disclosures for fiscal 2026 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new guidance on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to enhance the reportable segment disclosures. The guidance will require additional disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company's annual disclosures for fiscal 2025 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2026; early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new reportable segment disclosure guidance for the Company's fiscal 2025 annual disclosures and will apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods.

Other new accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective were not applicable to the Company, did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes all changes to stockholders' equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to stockholders. Components of comprehensive income include net income, changes in foreign currency translation adjustments (net of tax) and changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges (net of tax).

The summary of the components of comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):

For the nine months ended June 28, 2024, the amounts in the table above exclude the impact of a $5.1 million pension plan adjustment and a $26.3 million currency translation adjustment related to the separation and distribution of the Uniform segment (discussed below).

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands):

Currency Translation

Gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements of non-United States subsidiaries are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. Beginning in fiscal 2018, Argentina was determined to have a highly inflationary economy. As a result, the Company remeasures the financial statements of Argentina's operations in accordance with the accounting guidance for highly inflationary economies. The impact of the Argentina remeasurement, reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, was a foreign currency transaction loss of$1.7 million and$3.0 million during the three and nine month periods ended June 27, 2025, respectively, and $0.4 million and $5.2 million during the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2024, respectively. The impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses exclusive of Argentina's operations included in the Company's operating results during the three and nine month periods of both fiscal 2025 and 2024 were immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Current Assets

The Company insures portions of its risk related to general liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation liability claims as well as certain property damage risks through a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary (the "Captive") as part of its approach to risk finance. The Captive is subject to regulations within its domicile of Bermuda, including regulations established by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the "BMA") relating to levels of liquidity and solvency as such concepts are defined by the BMA. The Captive wasin compliance with these regulations as of June 27, 2025. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to access certain cash and cash equivalents held by the Captive for uses other than for the payment of its general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation liability, certain property damage and related Captive costs. As of June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024, cash and cash equivalents at the Captive were$97.7 million and $94.7 million, respectively. The Captive also invests in United States Treasury securities where the amount of these investments as of June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was$43.7 million and $42.3 million, respectively, and is recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Within the FSS International segment, the Company receives certain cash on behalf of the Company's clients, which is contractually restricted from withdrawal and usage. This restricted cash is recorded in "Prepayments and other current assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of costs to obtain or fulfill contracts (including employee sales commissions), long-term receivables, interest rate swaps, investments in 50% or less owned entities and computer software costs.

For investments in 50% or less owned entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the carrying amount as of June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was$112.6 million and $84.0 million, respectively.

For investments in 50% or less owned entities, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the Company measures these investments at cost, less any impairment and adjusted for changes in fair value resulting from observable price changes for an identical or a similar investment of the same issuer due to the lack of readily available fair values related to those investments. The carrying amount of equity investments without readily determinable fair values as of June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was$46.9 million and $35.4 million, respectively.

Supply Chain Finance Program

The Company has agreements with third-party administrators that allow participating vendors to voluntarily elect to sell payment obligations from the Company to financial institutions as part of a Supply Chain Finance Program ("SCF Program"). The Company's payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. When participating vendors elect to sell one or more of the Company's payment obligations, the Company's rights and obligations to settle the payable on their contractual due date are not impacted. The Company has no economic or commercial interest in a vendor's decision to sell the Company's payment obligations. The Company agrees on commercial terms with vendors for the goods and services procured, which are consistent with payment terms observed at other peer companies in the industry, and the terms are not impacted by the SCF Program. For the SCF Program, the Company does not provide asset pledges, or other forms of guarantees, as security for the committed payment to the financial institutions. As of June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024, the Company had$2.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of outstanding payment obligations to the financial institutions as part of the SCF Program recorded in "Accounts payable" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Lease Arrangements

Certain of the Company's lease arrangements, primarily vehicle leases, with terms ofone toeight years, contain provisions related to residual value guarantees. The maximum potential liability to the Company under such arrangements was approximately$33.1 million at June 27, 2025 if the terminal fair value of vehicles coming off lease waszero. Consistent with past experience, management does not expect any significant payments will be required pursuant to these arrangements. No amounts have been accrued for the guarantee arrangements at June 27, 2025.

Other Current and Noncurrent Liabilities

The Company is self-insured for certain obligations related to its employee health care benefit programs as well as for certain risks retained under its general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation liability and certain property damage programs. Reserves for these programs are estimated through actuarial methods, with the assistance of third-party actuaries using loss development assumptions based on the Company's claims history.

Separation and Distribution of Aramark Uniform and Career Apparel

On September 30, 2023, the Company completed the separation and distribution of its Uniform segment into an independent publicly traded company, Vestis. The separation was structured as a tax free spin-off, which occurred by way of a pro rata distribution to Aramark stockholders. Each of the Aramark stockholders received one share of Vestis common stock for every two shares of Aramark common stock held of record as of the close of business on September 20, 2023. Vestis is now an independent public company under the symbol “VSTS” on the New York Stock Exchange.

In connection with the separation and distribution, the Company entered into or adopted several agreements that provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and Vestis, including, but not limited to the following:

Separation and Distribution Agreement - governs the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the distribution following the completion of the separation, including the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities, and establishes certain rights and obligations between the Company and Vestis following the distribution, including procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters.

Transition Services Agreement - governs services between the Company and Vestis and their respective affiliates to provide each other on an interim, transitional basis, various services, including, but not limited to, administrative, information technology and cybersecurity support services and certain finance, treasury, tax and governmental function services. The services will terminate no later than 24 months following the distribution date.

Tax Matters Agreement- governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes.

Employee Matters Agreement - governs the allocation of liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters, employee compensation and benefits plans and programs and other related matters.

Under these agreements, the Company will continue to provide certain services to Vestis following the separation and distribution. The agreements do not provide the Company with the ability to influence the operating or financial policies of Vestis subsequent to the separation date. During the three and nine months ended June 27, 2025, the value of the services provided to Vestis were immaterial to the Company's financial statements withno outstanding receivables balance as of June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024. During the three and nine months ended June 28, 2024, the value of the services provided to Vestis were $2.3 million and $10.4 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, the Company incurred $20.0 million of transaction fees related to the separation and distribution of its Uniform segment and $8.8 million of charitable contribution expense for the contribution of Vestis shares to a donor advised fund in order to fund charitable contributions, which were recorded within "Selling and general corporate expenses" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company recorded its distribution of Vestis' net assets as a change in "Retained Earnings." The amount recorded reflected the carrying amounts, as of September 29, 2023, of the net assets distributed offset by the holdback of Vestis shares upon distribution of $8.8 million, net cash received from Vestis post-separation of $6.1 million and other adjustments of $0.6 million. The Company also recorded a net decrease to "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" of $31.4 million to derecognize foreign currency translation adjustments and pension plan adjustments which were attributable to Vestis.

NOTE 2. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to an impairment test that the Company conducts annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows.

Changes in total goodwill during the nine months ended June 27, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

Other intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Amortization of intangible assets for the nine months ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024 was $90.6 million and $78.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 3. BORROWINGS:

Long-term borrowings, net, are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

As of June 27, 2025, there were$1,058.7 million of outstanding foreign currency borrowings.

3.125% Senior Notes (EUR) due April 2025

On April 1, 2025, Aramark International Finance S.à.r.l. ("AIFS"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, fully repaid the €325.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of AIFS’ euro denominated 3.125% 2025 Senior Notes due April 2025 (the "3.125% 2025 Notes") at maturity, using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the euro denominated 4.375% Senior Notes due April 2033 (the "4.375% 2033 Notes").

4.375% Senior Notes (EUR) due April 2033

On March 19, 2025, AIFS issued €400.0 million of 4.375% 2033 Notes, and used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the 4.375% 2033 Notes to repay the 3.125% 2025 Notes and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including reduction of debt. The Company capitalized €4.4 million in third-party costs directly attributable to the issuance and sale of the 4.375% 2033 Notes. The capitalized costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the 4.375% 2033 Notes and are presented in “Long-Term Borrowings” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 27, 2025 as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the notes.

The 4.375% 2033 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "2033 Notes Indenture"), entered into by and among AIFS, the Company, Aramark Services, Inc. ("ASI") and certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors, U.S. Bank Trust Company,

National Association, as trustee, and U.S. Bank Europe DAC, as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. The 4.375% 2033 Notes were issued at par.

The 4.375% 2033 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of AIFS. The 4.375% 2033 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the AIFS's existing and future senior indebtedness and will rank senior in right of payment to the AIFS' future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The 4.375% 2033 Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of ASI. The guarantees of the 4.375% 2033 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the senior obligations of such guarantor. The guarantee of the 4.375% 2033 Notes by guarantor is effectively subordinated to all of such guarantor's existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of such guarantor's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 4.375% 2033 Notes. The 4.375% 2033 Notes are also guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company for purposes of financial reporting. Interest on the 4.375% 2033 Notes is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2025.

Prior to April 15, 2028, AIFS may redeem all or a portion of the 4.375% 2033 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 4.375% 2033 Notes redeemed plus a “make whole” premium, as described in the 2033 Notes Indenture, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of redemption. AIFS has the option to redeem all or a portion of the 4.375% 2033 Notes at any time on or after April 15, 2028 at the redemption prices set forth in the 2033 Notes Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of redemption.

The 2033 Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting ASI's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; create certain liens; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; create or allow any restriction on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make payments to ASI; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of ASI and its subsidiaries' assets on a consolidated basis; and designate ASI's subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The Company will not be subject to the covenants that apply to ASI or its restricted subsidiaries under the 2033 Notes Indenture. The 2033 Notes Indenture also provides for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the 4.375% 2033 Notes to become or to be declared due and payable. Further, a failure to pay any obligations under the 2033 Notes Indenture as they become due or any event causing amounts to become due prior to their stated maturity could result in a cross-default and potential acceleration of ASI’s other outstanding debt obligations, including the other senior notes and obligations under the senior secured credit facilities.

United States Term B Loans due June 2030 Incremental Amendment, United States Term B Loans due January 2027 Repayment and 5.000% Senior Notes Due April 2025 Redemption

ASI and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement on March 28, 2017 (as subsequently amended the "Credit Agreement"). On February 18, 2025, ASI entered into an incremental amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Incremental Amendment No. 17”) to provide for, among other things, the establishment of new term loans comprised of new United States dollar denominated Term B-8 Loans ("New U.S. Term B-8 Loans due 2030") in an amount equal to $1,395.0 million, in the form of a fungible upsize to ASI’s existing United States dollar denominated Term B-8 Loans due in June 2030 (“U.S. Term B-8 Loans due 2030”). The New U.S. Term B-8 Loans due 2030 were funded in full on the closing date of Incremental Amendment No. 17 and were applied by ASI to: (a) repay in full $839.3 million of the United States dollar denominated Term B-4 Loans due January 2027 ("U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027") previously outstanding under the Credit Agreement; (b) to redeem the entire $551.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of ASI's 5.000% Senior Notes due April 2025 (the "5.000% 2025 Notes") at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; and (c) to pay fees, premiums, expenses and other transaction costs in connection with the foregoing.

The U.S. Term B-8 Loans due 2030 bear interest rates equal to either (a) a forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for the applicable interest period (“Term SOFR”) or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of either (1) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00% plus an applicable margin set at 2.00% for borrowings based on Term SOFR and 1.00% for borrowings based on the base rate.

The U.S. Term B-8 Loans due 2030 require the payment of installments in the quarterly principal amount of $6.3 million from March 31, 2025 through March 31, 2030, and $2,346.4 million at maturity. The U.S. Term B-8 Loans due 2030 are subject to substantially similar terms relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to ASI’s other Term B Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

The Company capitalized $4.6 million of transaction costs directly attributable to the refinancing in Amendment No. 17, which are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the loans and are presented in “Long-Term Borrowings” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 27, 2025 as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the loans. Amounts paid for capitalized transaction costs are included within “Other financing activities” on the Condensed Consolidated

Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 27, 2025. Additionally, the Company recorded $8.3 million of charges to "Interest Expense, net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended June 27, 2025, consisting of a $2.5 million non-cash loss for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount on the U.S. Term B-4 Loans due 2027 and the 5.000% 2025 Notes and the payment of $5.8 million of transaction costs related to the refinancing.

March 2024 Senior Secured Credit Agreement Refinancing

On March 27, 2024, ASI amended its existing Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 14”), to provide for, among other things, the repricing of all the United States dollar denominated Term B-5 Loans previously outstanding under the Credit Agreement (“U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028”) and the repricing of all the United States dollar denominated Term B-6 Loans previously outstanding under the Credit Agreement (“U.S. Term B-6 Loans due 2030”).

As a result of the Amendment No. 14, (i) U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 previously outstanding under the Credit Agreement were replaced with new United States dollar denominated Term B-7 Loans (“U.S. Term B-7 Loans due 2028”) in an amount equal to $730.5 million due in April 2028 and (ii) U.S. Term B-6 Loans due 2030 previously outstanding under the Credit Agreement were replaced with the new United States dollar denominated Term B-8 Loans (“U.S. Term B-8 Loans due 2030”) in an amount equal to $1,094.5 million due in June 2030.

The Company capitalized $0.9 million of transaction costs that are included within “Other financing activities” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 28, 2024. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.6 million of charges to "Interest Expense, net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended June 28, 2024, consisting of a $1.2 million non-cash loss for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discount on the U.S. Term B-5 Loans due 2028 and U.S. Term B-6 Loans due 2030 and the payment of $0.4 million of transaction costs related to the repricings.

6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 Repayment

On October 2, 2023, the Company fully redeemed the $1,500.0 million 6.375% 2025 Senior Notes due May 2025 (the "6.375% 2025 Notes") in conjunction with the separation and distribution of the Uniform segment (see Note 1). The Company recorded $31.8 million of charges to "Interest Expense, net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended June 28, 2024, consisting of the payment of a $23.9 million call premium and a $7.9 million non-cash loss for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs on the 6.375% 2025 Notes. The amount paid for the call premium is included within "Other financing activities" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 28, 2024.

NOTE 4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into contractual derivative arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations, including interest rate swap agreements, which are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each quarter. The counterparties to the Company's contractual derivative agreements are all major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. The Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively for designated hedges. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company has $2.4 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of June 27, 2025, which fix the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings with varying maturities through May 2028. During the nine months ended June 27, 2025, interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $800.0 million matured. The Company entered into $900.0 million notional amount of interest rate swap agreements during the nine months ended June 27, 2025 to hedge the cash flow risk of variability in interest payments on variable rate borrowings.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. Cash flows from hedging transactions are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the respective hedged item. As of June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024,$19.7 million and $36.5 million, respectively, of unrealized net of tax gains related to the interest rate swaps were included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes the unrealized gain (loss) arising from the Company's derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments on Other comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the location and fair value, using Level 2 inputs (see Note 11 for a description of the fair value levels), of the Company's derivatives designated as hedging instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the location of the gain reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" into earnings for derivatives designated as hedging instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands):

As of June 27, 2025, the Company has a euro denominated term loan in the amount of€90.5 million. The term loan was designated as a hedge of the Company's net euro currency exposure represented by certain holdings in the Company's European affiliates.

At June 27, 2025, the net of taxgain expected to be reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" into earnings over the next twelve months based on current market rates is approximately$17.0 million.

NOTE 5. REVENUE RECOGNITION:

The Company generates revenue through sales of food and facility services to customers based on written contracts at the locations it serves. The Company provides food and beverage services, including catering and retail services, and facilities services, including plant operations and maintenance, custodial, housekeeping, landscaping and other services. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, the Company accounts for a customer contract when both parties have approved the arrangement and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party's rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of the promised product or service to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services.

Performance Obligations

The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied. Each contract generally hasone performance obligation, which is satisfied over time. The Company primarily accounts for its performance obligations under the series guidance, using the as-invoiced practical expedient when applicable. The Company applies the right to invoice practical expedient to record revenue as the services are provided, given the nature of the services provided and the frequency of billing under the customer contracts. Under this practical expedient, the Company recognizes revenue in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date and for which the Company has the right to invoice the customer. Certain arrangements include performance obligations which include variable consideration (primarily per transaction fees). For these arrangements, the Company does not need to estimate the variable consideration for the contract and allocate to the entire performance obligation; therefore, the variable fees are recognized in the period they are earned.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents revenue disaggregated by revenue source (in millions):

Contract Balances

Deferred income is recognized in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and "Other Noncurrent Liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when the Company has received consideration, or has the right to receive consideration, in advance of the transfer of the performance obligation of the contract to the customer, primarily prepaid meal plans. The consideration received remains a liability until the goods or services have been provided to the customer. The Company classifies deferred income as current if the deferred income is expected to be recognized in the next 12 months or as noncurrent if the deferred income is expected to be recognized in excess of the next 12 months. If the Company cannot render its performance obligation according to contract terms after receiving the consideration in advance, amounts may be contractually required to be refunded to the customer.

During the nine months ended June 27, 2025, deferred income increased related to customer prepayments and decreased related to income recognized during the period as a result of satisfying the performance obligation or return of funds related to non-performance. For the nine months ended June 27, 2025, the Company recognized$311.5 million of revenue that was included in deferred income at the beginning of the period. Deferred income balances are summarized in the following table (in millions):

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES:

During the three and nine months ended June 27, 2025, the company recorded a benefit to the “Provision for Income Taxes” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income of $3.1 million for the reversal of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets within a foreign subsidiary due to an acquisition of a business.

During the nine months ended June 28, 2024, the Company recorded a valuation allowance adjustment to the "Provision for Income Taxes" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income of $7.1 million against certain foreign tax credits, as it is more likely than not a tax benefit will not be realized due to the reduction of future forecasted foreign income as a result of the separation and distribution of the Uniform segment.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development (“OECD”) released the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (“Pillar Two”). Under Pillar Two, multinational companies with consolidated revenue greater than €750 million will be subject to a minimum effective tax rate of 15.0% within each respective country. Guided by the OECD framework, more than 140 countries have agreed to enact Pillar Two legislation. The Company currently operates in several countries which will be subject to Pillar Two. The OECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of Pillar Two rules which apply to the Company for fiscal years 2025 through 2027. The Company currently expects to meet the safe harbor requirements in each country subject to Pillar Two in which it operates but will continue to monitor and reflect the impact of legislative changes in future periods, as appropriate. The Pillar Two legislation has no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the Company does not expect the impact will be material in future periods.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”) Act was signed into law. The OBBB Act contains a broad range of tax reform measures, including provisions that extend or modify certain elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new law has a range of effective dates, with certain changes taking effect in fiscal year 2025 and others that become effective in future periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the provisions on its consolidated financial statements.

On July 22, 2025, a $0.105 dividend per share of common stock was declared, payable on August 20, 2025, to stockholders of record on the close of business on August 6, 2025.

On November 5, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $500.0 million of Aramark's outstanding common stock. Under the share repurchase program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, including open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases and Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The size and timing of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, general business and market conditions and other factors. Shares repurchased by the Company are accounted for under the treasury cost method. The value of the repurchased shares includes the 1% excise tax accrual as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Company made an accounting policy election to record the value of the repurchased shares, including the 1% excise tax accrual, to treasury stock. The share repurchase program does not have a fixed expiration date and may be terminated at any time. During the nine months ended June 27, 2025, the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of its common stock for $140.2 million.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are a party to various legal actions, proceedings and investigations involving claims incidental to the conduct of their business, including actions by clients, customers, employees, government entities and third parties, including under federal, state, international, national, provincial and local employment laws, wage and hour laws, discrimination laws, immigration laws, human health and safety laws, import and export controls and customs laws, environmental laws, environmental, social and governance related non-financial disclosure laws, false claims or whistleblower statutes, minority, women and disadvantaged business enterprise statutes, tax codes, antitrust and competition laws, consumer protection statutes, procurement regulations, intellectual property laws, food safety and sanitation laws, cost and accounting principles, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, other anti-corruption laws, lobbying laws, motor carrier safety laws, data privacy and security laws and alcohol licensing and service laws, or alleging negligence and/or breaches of contractual and other obligations. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On May 17, 2024, a purported shareholder of Vestis, the Company's former Uniform segment that was spun-off from Aramark in September 2023, commenced a putative class action lawsuit against Vestis and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on behalf of purchasers of Vestis’ common stock between October 2, 2023 and May 1, 2024. The complaint alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, based on allegedly false or misleading statements generally related to Vestis’ business and operations, pricing practices, and financial results and outlook. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and other relief. On November 22, 2024, the complaint was amended to add the Company and its Chief Executive Officer as additional defendants. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are defined as follows:

• Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

• Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument

• Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. In conjunction with the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio, as the gross values would not be materially different. The fair value of the Company's debt at June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was $6,325.2 million and $5,300.7 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt at June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was $6,294.9 million and $5,271.5 million, respectively. The fair values were computed using market quotes, if available, or based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates as of the end of the respective periods. The inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company's debt have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy levels.

As part of the Union Supply acquisition completed in fiscal 2022, the Company recorded a contingent consideration obligation. During the nine months ended June 27, 2025, the Company adjusted the contingent consideration liability, resulting in expense of$11.1 million, which is included in "Cost of services provided (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The earnout period has ended and the contingent consideration liability at June 27, 2025 and September 27, 2024 waszero. The contingent consideration liability was fully paid out in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
