Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect our current views as to future events and financial performance with respect to, without limitation, conditions in our industry, our operations, our economic performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business and growth strategy. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “outlook,” “aim,” “anticipate,” “are confident,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “see,” “look to” and other words and terms of similar meaning or the negative versions of such words.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. All statements we make relating to our estimated and projected earnings, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include without limitation: unfavorable economic conditions; natural disasters, global calamities, sports strikes and other adverse incidents; 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; the inability to achieve cost savings through our cost reduction efforts; our expansion strategy; the failure to maintain food safety throughout our supply chain, food-borne illness concerns and claims of illness or injury; 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; currency risks and other risks associated with international operations, including Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K. Bribery Act and other anti-corruption law compliance; continued or further unionization of our workforce; liability resulting from our participation in multiemployer defined benefit pension plans; risks associated with suppliers from whom our products are sourced; disruptions to our relationship with, or to the business of, our primary distributor; the inability to hire and retain sufficient qualified personnel or increases in labor costs; healthcare reform legislation; the contract intensive nature of our business, which may lead to client disputes; seasonality; disruptions in the availability of our computer systems or privacy breaches; failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls; our leverage; the inability to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness; debt agreements that limit our flexibility in operating our business; and other factors set forth under the headings Item 1A “Risk Factors,” Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” and 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 SEC on December 1, 2015, 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 www.aramark.com. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report 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. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, changes in our expectations, or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

Aramark (the “Company”) is a leading global provider of food, facilities and uniform services to education, healthcare, business & industry, and sports, leisure & corrections clients. The Company's core market is North America (composed of the United States and Canada), which is supplemented by an additional 19 -country footprint serving many of the fastest growing global geographies. The Company operates its business in three reportable segments that share many of the same operating characteristics: Food and Support Services North America ("FSS North America"), Food and Support Services International ("FSS International") and Uniform and Career Apparel ("Uniform").

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 (“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 December 1, 2015. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2015 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 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 significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company has an ownership interest in a subsidiary with a redeemable noncontrolling interest.

New Accounting Standard Updates

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") to update several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences and classification of awards. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets and to disclose key information about lease arrangements. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes to require all deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The company adopted the guidance in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 on a prospective basis, resulting in a reclassification of approximately $18.1 million from "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" to "Deferred Income Taxes and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU on debt issuance costs which requires presentation on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts, and will no longer be recorded as a separate asset. The Company adopted the retrospective guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 (see Note 5).

In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on stock compensation which requires that a performance target affecting vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement relative to its stock incentive awards.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue from contracts with customers which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, but to permit

entities to adopt one year earlier if they choose (i.e., the original effective date). The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

In January 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which states that companies should not account for certain service concession arrangements with public-sector entities as leases and should not recognize the related infrastructure as property, plant and equipment. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment

During the six months ended April 1, 2016, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of approximately $1.7 million , which is included in "Cost of services provided" in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, to write down the book value of one of its buildings within the FSS North America segment to its fair value. The Company is in the process of preparing this building for sale.

Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of investments in 50% or less owned entities, client contract investments, computer software costs and long-term receivables. Client contract investments generally represent a cash payment provided by the Company to help finance improvement or renovation at the facility from which the Company operates. These amounts are amortized over the contract period.

The terms and conditions remain largely consistent and also increase the seasonal tranche capacity of the Receivables Facility to $50.0 million from September to March and May to June.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company early adopted the April 2015 ASU on debt issuance costs, which requires these costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct reduction of long-term borrowings, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. As a result of the retrospective adoption, approximately $27.7 million of debt issuance costs were reclassified from "Other Assets" to "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, as of October 2, 2015 .

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repaid a U.S. dollar denominated term loan of a Canadian subsidiary that had been borrowed under the Company's senior secured credit agreement and was due in July 2016 in the amount of $74.1 million .

On December 17, 2015, Aramark Services, Inc. (the "Issuer"), a subsidiary of the Company, issued $400 million of 5.125% Senior Notes (the "2024 Notes"), due January 15, 2024, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 17, 2015 (the “Indenture”), entered into by the Issuer, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the 2024 Notes and the Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The 2024 Notes were issued at par and the net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to reduce the outstanding balance under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company paid approximately $6.0 million in financing fees related to the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The 2024 Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s existing and future senior debt. The 2024 Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of the Issuer. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The 2024 Notes and guarantees are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured debt of the Issuer and the guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of the Issuer's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2024 Notes.

NOTE 6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into contractual derivative arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to interest on debt obligations, foreign currency exposures and exposure to fluctuating gasoline and diesel fuel prices. Derivative instruments utilized during the period include interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and gasoline and diesel fuel agreements. All derivative instruments 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. For designated hedging relationships, 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, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 $2.6 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. During the second of fiscal 2016, $0.3 billion of interest rate swap agreements matured.

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 income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of April 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015, approximately ($41.4) million and ($43.3) million of unrealized net of tax losses related to the interest rate swaps were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for these cash flow hedging instruments during the six months ended April 1, 2016 and April 3, 2015 was not material.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repaid a U.S. dollar denominated term loan of a Canadian subsidiary in the amount of $74.1 million . As a result of this repayment, the Company terminated its $74.1 million of outstanding amortizing cross currency swap agreements, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of approximately $1.1 million recorded to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended April 1, 2016. The termination of these agreements resulted in the Company receiving $5.7 million of proceeds.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

The Company entered into a series of pay fixed/receive floating gasoline and diesel fuel agreements based on the Department of Energy weekly retail on-highway index in order to limit its exposure to price fluctuations for gasoline and diesel fuel. During the first half of fiscal 2016, the Company entered into contracts for approximately 34.7 million gallons. As of April 1, 2016 , the Company has contracts for approximately 40.5 million gallons outstanding for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018. The Company does not record its gasoline and diesel fuel agreements as hedges for accounting purposes. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these contracts was a loss of approximately $1.9 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended April 1, 2016 , respectively. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these contracts for the three months ended April 3, 2015 was a gain of $0.8 million and for the six months ended April 3, 2015 was a loss of approximately $2.8 million .

As of April 1, 2016 , the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €26.3 million , £58.4 million and CAD 157.5 million to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on short-term intercompany loans to certain international subsidiaries. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in income as the contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, substantially offsetting currency transaction gains and losses on the short-term intercompany loans.

NOTE 12. 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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended April 1, 2016 and April 3, 2015 should be read in conjunction with Aramark's (the "Company", "we", "our" and "us") audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2015 included in the Company's Form 10-K, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 1, 2015.

Our discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, opinions, expectations, anticipations, intentions and beliefs. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the heading "Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, certain financial measures may be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of food, facilities and uniform services to education, healthcare, business & industry and sports, leisure & corrections clients. Our core market is North America, which is supplemented by an additional 19-country footprint. Through our established brand, broad geographic presence and employees, we anchor our business in our partnerships with thousands of education, healthcare, business and sports, leisure & corrections clients. Through these partnerships we serve millions of consumers including students, patients, employees, sports fans and guests worldwide. We operate our business in three reportable segments, Food and Support Services North America ("FSS North America"), Food and Support Services International ("FSS International") and Uniform and Career Apparel ("Uniform").

Our operating results are affected by the economic conditions being experienced in the countries in which we operate. Across all of our businesses, we continue to plan and execute both growth and productivity initiatives and continue to focus on streamlining and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our general and administrative functions through increased use of standards, process improvements, and consolidation. As a result, we recorded certain costs related to these initiatives during the first half of fiscal 2016, and we estimate we will incur an additional $25 to $35 million during the remainder of fiscal 2016 in accordance with our transformation plan.

Seasonality

Our sales and operating results have varied from quarter to quarter, as a result of different factors. Historically, within our FSS North America segment, there has been a lower level of activity during our first and second fiscal quarters in operations that provide services to sports and leisure clients. This lower level of activity, historically, has been partially offset during our first and second fiscal quarters by the increased activity levels in our educational operations. Conversely, historically there has been a significant increase in the provision of services to sports and leisure clients during our third and fourth fiscal quarters, which is partially offset by the effect of summer recess at colleges, universities and schools in our educational operations.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

The impact from foreign currency translation 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. We believe that providing the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates on certain financial results can facilitate analysis of period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year is the fifty-two or fifty-three week period which ends on the Friday nearest September 30th. The fiscal years ending September 30, 2016 and October 2, 2015 are each fifty-two week periods.

Consolidated Overview

Sales were $3.6 billion and $7.3 billion for the three and six month period s of both fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, a decrease of approximately 1% compared to the prior year quarter and about even when compared to the prior year period. Sales for the three and six month period s of fiscal 2016 were impacted by:

• growth in the Education and Sports, Leisure & Corrections sectors in the FSS North America segment;

• growth in China, Germany, Ireland and Korea in the FSS International segment; and

• growth in our Uniform segment; which was offset by

• a decrease in our Healthcare and Business & Industry sectors in the FSS North America segment;

• a decrease in South America in the FSS International segment; and

• the negative impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $67 million and $180 million, respectively (approximately -2% in both periods).

Cost of services provided as a percentage of sales was 90% and 89% for the three and six month periods of both fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively. The following table presents the percentages attributable to the components in cost of services provided for the three and six months ended April 1, 2016 and April 3, 2015 .

Operating income of $172.1 million and $386.2 million for the three and six months ended April 1, 2016 represented an increase of approximately 11% and 8% over the prior year periods, respectively. The increase in operating income for the three and six months ended April 1, 2016 was impacted by:

• profit growth in our Sports, Leisure & Corrections and Education sectors in the FSS North America segment;

• profit growth in South America in the FSS International segment;

• a decrease in consulting costs;

• cost reductions from streamlining our general and administrative functions;

• a decrease in acquisition related amortization expense in the FSS North America segment (approximately $9.1 million and $9.7 million, respectively); and

• the prior year loss associated with the divestiture of Aramark India Private Limited ("India") (approximately $4.3 million in both periods); which more than offset

• the negative impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $4 million and $11 million, respectively (approximately -2% and -3%, respectively);

• a profit decline in our Business & Industry sector in the FSS North America segment; and

• an increase in severance related costs (approximately $10.1 million and $10.0 million, respectively).

During the six month period of fiscal 2016, there was also a decrease in favorable insurance adjustments related to claims experience of approximately $7.5 million compared with the prior year period.

Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three and six month period of fiscal 2016 increased 1% and was about even when compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The increase in the three month period of fiscal 2016 was primarily due to an increase in the average interest rate compared to the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease in the average debt level.

The effective income tax rate for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 was 33.7% and 34.2% , respectively, compared to 28.1% and 31.8% in the prior year periods, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in both current year periods is due to the prior year benefit of approximately $6.1 million in connection with the prior year sale of our India subsidiary.

Segment Results

FSS North America Segment

The FSS North America reportable segment consists of four operating segments which have similar economic characteristics and are aggregated into a single reportable segment. The four operating segments or sectors of the FSS North America reportable segment are Business & Industry, Education, Healthcare and Sports, Leisure & Corrections.

Sales for each of these sectors are summarized as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended — April 1, 2016	April 3, 2015	Six Months Ended — April 1, 2016	April 3, 2015
Business & Industry	$ 499.5	$ 521.4	$ 998.3	$ 1,038.4

On an annual basis, the Healthcare and Education sectors generally have high-single digit operating margins and the Business & Industry and Sports, Leisure & Corrections sectors generally have mid-single digit operating margins.

FSS North America segment sales for the the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 were about even and increased approximately 1% compared to the prior year periods, respectively. Sales in the segment were negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $17 million and $48 million for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016, respectively (approximately -1% in both periods).

The Business & Industry sector had mid-single digit sales declines for both the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 , which were impacted by a decline in our remote services business in Canada from the economic downturn in the oil and gas industry and net lost business in our facilities business, partially offset by sales growth in our refreshment services business.

Table of Contents

The Education sector had a low-single digit sales increase for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and a mid-single digit sales increase for the six month period of fiscal 2016, which were impacted by an increase in base business in our Higher Education business and net new business in our Higher Education and K-12 businesses.

The Sports, Leisure & Corrections sector had a low-single digit sales increase for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and a mid-single digit sales increase for the six month period of fiscal 2016, which were impacted by sales growth in the stadiums and arenas we serve and new business in our leisure business, which more than offset lost business within our Corrections business.

Cost of services provided was $2.3 billion and $4.6 billion for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016, respectively, compared to $2.2 billion and $4.5 billion for the prior year periods, respectively. As a percentage of sales, cost of services provided was 90% for all periods presented.

Operating income for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 increased 8% and 5% as compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The increase in operating income for the three and six month period s of fiscal 2016 was impacted by:

• a profit decline in our Business & Industry sector from less sales;

• an increase in severance related costs (approximately $5.4 million for both periods); and

• the negative impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $2 million and $5 million, respectively (approximately -1% and -2%, respectively).

During the six month period of fiscal 2016, there was a decrease in favorable insurance adjustments due to claims experience of approximately $5.6 million compared to the prior year period.

FSS International Segment

Sales in the FSS International segment for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 decreased 5% and 7% compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The decrease in sales for the three and six month period s of fiscal 2016 was impacted by:

• the negative impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $50 million and $132 million, respectively (approximately -7% and -9%, respectively); and

• a sales decline in the U.K. and South America; which more than offset

• sales growth in China, Germany, Ireland and Korea; and

• the impact of the Avoca Handweavers Limited ("Avoca") acquisition in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 (approximately 1% for both periods).

Cost of services provided was $0.6 billion and $1.3 billion for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016, respectively, compared to $0.7 billion and $1.4 billion for the prior year periods, respectively. Cost of services provided as a percentage of sales was 94% and 94% in the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016, respectively and 95% and 94% in the three and six month periods of fiscal 2015, respectively.

Operating income for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 increased 21% and 7% compared to the prior year periods. The increase in operating income for the three and six months periods of fiscal 2016 was impacted by:

Uniform Segment

Uniform segment sales increased 4% for both the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 compared to the prior year periods. This increase is primarily the result of growth in base business within our uniform rental business.

Cost of services provided was $0.3 billion and $0.6 billion for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively. Cost of services provided as a percentage of sales was 80% in the three month periods of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 and 79% and 78% in the six month periods of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively.

Operating income for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 increased 5% and decreased 2% compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The increase in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 is due to the sales growth as discussed above. The decrease in operating income for the six month period of fiscal 2016 was due to a decrease in favorable insurance adjustments due to claims experience of approximately $2.7 million compared to the prior year period. Operating income for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2016 includes severance related costs of approximately $2.5 million.

Corporate

Corporate expenses, those administrative expenses not allocated to the business segments, were $33.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $34.7 million for the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to the impact of:

• a decrease in consulting costs and cost reductions from streamlining our general and administrative functions (approximately $4.2 million); partially offset by

• an increase in charges from the change in fair value related to our gasoline and diesel agreements (approximately $3.0 million).

For the six months ended April 1, 2016 , corporate expenses were $68.0 million compared to $80.4 million for the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to the impact of:

• a decrease in our stock based compensation expense mainly from performance-based options (approximately $2.1 million); and

• a decrease in consulting costs and cost reductions from streamlining our general and administrative functions(approximately $9.0 million).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operating activities, funds from borrowings and existing cash on hand. As of April 1, 2016 , we had $147.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $713.5 million of availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility. As of April 1, 2016 , there was approximately $397.6 million of outstanding foreign currency borrowings.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of our committed credit availability under the senior secured revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements to fund working capital, capital spending, debt service obligations, refinancings, dividends and other cash needs. We will continue to seek to invest strategically but prudently in certain sectors and geographies. We routinely monitor our cash flow and the condition of the capital markets in order to be prepared to respond to changing conditions. On May 2, 2016, we extended the terms of the Receivables Facility from May 2017 to May 2019. The terms and conditions remain largely consistent and also increase the seasonal tranche capacity of the Receivables Facility to $50.0 million from September to March and May to June.

The table below summarizes our cash activity (in millions):

	Six Months Ended — April 1, 2016		April 3, 2015
Net cash provided by operating activities	$ 209.8		$ 78.7
Net cash used in investing activities	(289.3	)	(220.0	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	104.8		164.3

Reference to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows will facilitate understanding of the discussion that follows.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

During the six month period of fiscal 2016, the increase in the total of net income and non cash charges results from the higher operating results discussed above. The change in operating assets and liabilities compared to the prior year period relates primarily to changes in the following:

• Accrued Expenses being less of a use of cash compared to the prior year period due to a decrease in commission payments mainly from a lost client in the Sports, Leisure and Corrections sector (approximately $30.5 million), a decrease in the accrual for employee bonuses (approximately $17.7 million) and the timing of client advanced payments, primarily in our Education sector (approximately $11.3 million);

• Prepayments and Other Current Assets were a source of cash in the current period due to higher operating results and a decrease in income taxes paid compared to the prior year period (approximately $31.4 million);

• Accounts Payable being less of a use of cash compared to the prior year period due to the timing of disbursements (approximately $28.3 million); partially offset by

• Receivables were a use of cash due to timing of collections (approximately $44.0 million).

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we received proceeds of $5.7 million related to the termination of outstanding amortizing cross currency swap agreements.

During the six month period of fiscal 2015, we received proceeds of approximately $9.2 million from a retrospective refund under our casualty insurance program related to prior year favorable loss experience and $18.7 million of cash distributions from AIM Services Co., Ltd.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

The increase in net cash flows used in investing activities between periods relates to the increase in capital expenditures, mainly from a client in our leisure business, and the acquisition of Avoca in the FSS International segment for approximately $57.9 million .

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

During the six month period of fiscal 2016, cash provided by financing activities was impacted by the following:

• issuance of $400 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due January 2024 (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidating financial statements); and

• proceeds of approximately $16.5 million related to stock option exercises; which was partially offset by

• repayment of a U.S. dollar denominated term loan of a Canadian subsidiary in the amount of $74.1 million ;

• repayment of our outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility by $70.0 million;

• an optional prepayment of outstanding term loans under our senior secured term loan facility due September 2019 of $60.0 million ;

• reduction of our foreign currency borrowings by approximately $39.8 million;

• payments of approximately $45.8 million of dividends; and

• payment of approximately $6.0 million for financing fees related to the issuance of $400 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due January 2024.

During the six month period of fiscal 2015, we borrowed approximately $157.8 million from our senior secured revolving credit facility, received proceeds of approximately $16.7 million related to stock option exercises and paid dividends of approximately $40.7 million.

The "Other financing activities" caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow reflects the excess tax benefit recorded on exercises of share-based awards.

Covenant Compliance

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; issue preferred stock or provide guarantees; create liens on assets; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase our capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; repay or repurchase any notes, except as scheduled or at maturity; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from our restricted subsidiaries; make certain acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend material agreements governing the notes (or any indebtedness that refinances the notes); and fundamentally change our business. The Indentures governing our 5.75% Senior Notes due March 2020 and 5.125% Senior Notes due January 2024 (collectively, the "Senior Notes") contains similar provisions. As of April 1, 2016 , we were in compliance with these covenants.

Under the Credit Agreement and the Indentures governing our Senior Notes, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests and covenants. Our continued ability to meet those financial ratios, tests and covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and there can be no assurance that we will meet those ratios, tests and covenants.

These financial ratios, tests and covenants involve the calculation of certain measures that we refer to in this discussion as “Covenant EBITDA” and “Covenant Adjusted EBITDA.” Covenant EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. Covenant EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) of Aramark Services, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries plus interest and other financing costs, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Covenant EBITDA, further adjusted to give effect to adjustments required in calculating covenant ratios and compliance under our Credit Agreement and the Indentures.

Our presentation of these measures 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 U.S. GAAP. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to net income or operating income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Covenant EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, as presented by us, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations.

The following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Aramark Services, Inc. stockholder, which is a U.S. GAAP measure of Aramark Services, Inc.’s operating results, to Covenant EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our debt agreements. The terms and related calculations are defined in the Credit Agreement and the Indentures governing our Senior Notes. Covenant EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBTIDA are measures of Aramark Services, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries only and do not include the results of Aramark.

(3) Represents our estimated share of EBITDA from our AIM Services Co., Ltd. equity method investment not already reflected in our Covenant EBITDA. EBITDA for this equity method investee is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated Covenant EBITDA but does not represent cash distributions received from this investee.

(4) Represents the pro forma of estimated EBITDA from acquisitions and divestitures made during the period.

(5) Other includes certain other miscellaneous items (primarily severance related expenses and asset write downs).

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended April 1, 2016 are as follows:

	Covenant Requirements	Actual Ratios
Maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio (1)	5.25	3.02
Interest Coverage Ratio (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) (2)	2.00	4.56

(1) Our Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio, defined as consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, of 5.875x, being reduced over time to 5.125x. Consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien is defined in the Credit Agreement as total indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, capital leases, advances under the Receivables Facility and any other indebtedness secured by a lien reduced by the lesser of the amount of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet that is free and clear of any lien and $75 million. Non-compliance with the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under such agreement, which, if our revolving credit facility lenders failed to waive any such default, would also constitute a default under each of our Indentures.

(2) Our Credit Agreement establishes an incurrence-based minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, defined as Covenant Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, the achievement of which is a condition for us to incur additional indebtedness and to make certain restricted payments. If we do not maintain this minimum Interest Coverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis for any such additional indebtedness or restricted payments, we could be prohibited from being able to incur additional indebtedness, other than the additional funding provided for under the Credit Agreement and pursuant to specified exceptions, and make certain restricted payments, other than pursuant to certain exceptions. The minimum Interest Coverage Ratio is 2.00x for the term of the Credit Agreement. Consolidated interest expense is defined in the Credit Agreement as consolidated interest expense excluding interest income, adjusted for acquisitions and dispositions, further adjusted for certain non-cash or nonrecurring interest expense and our estimated share of interest expense from one equity method investee. The Indentures each includes a similar requirement which is referred to as a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

The Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates or significant stockholders may from time to time, in their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt securities (including any publicly issued debt securities), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, or extend or refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness.

Our business activities do not include the use of unconsolidated special purpose entities, and there are no significant business transactions that have not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. We are self-insured for a limited portion of the risk retained under our general liability and workers’ compensation arrangements. Self-insurance reserves are recorded based on actuarial analyses.

As a result of the Company’s issuance of the 5.125% Senior Notes (the "2024 Notes") during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company’s future obligations for debt repayments increased by $400.0 million, all of which is due on January 15, 2024. The Company's future obligations for estimated interest payments also increased from the 2024 Notes issuance by approximately $164 million, which will be paid out over the term of the 2024 Notes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 1, 2015. As described in such notes, the Company recognizes sales in the period in which services are provided pursuant to the terms of our contractual relationships with our clients. Sales from direct marketing activities are recognized upon shipment. For a more complete discussion of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we have identified in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 1, 2015.

In preparing our financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that, among other things, affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are most significant where they involve levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or matters susceptible

to change, and where they can have a material impact on our financial condition and operating performance. If actual results were to differ materially from the estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected.

Critical accounting estimates and the related assumptions are evaluated periodically as conditions warrant, and changes to such estimates are recorded as new information or changed conditions require.

New Accounting Standard Updates

See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a full description of recent accounting standard updates, including the expected dates of adoption.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manage this exposure through the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps. We do not enter into contracts for trading purposes and do not use leveraged instruments. The market risk associated with debt obligations as of April 1, 2016 has not materially changed from October 2, 2015 (see Item 7A"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk" in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2015 filed with the SEC on December 1, 2015). See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company's derivative instruments and Note 12 for the disclosure of the fair value and related carrying value of the Company's debt obligations as of April 1, 2016 .

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Our business is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing, among other things, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of water wastes and other substances. We engage in informal settlement discussions with federal, state, local and foreign authorities regarding allegations of violations of environmental laws in connection with our operations or businesses conducted by our predecessors or companies that we have acquired, the aggregate amount of which and related remediation costs we do not believe should have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

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, consumers, 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, 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, proceedings or investigations 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.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2015 and filed with the SEC on December 1, 2015.
