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 or remain confident," "have confidence," "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
November 23, 2016
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.

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. The Company's core market is North America (composed of the United States and Canada), which is supplemented by an additional
17
-country footprint. 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
November 23, 2016
. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
September 30, 2016
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 Standards Updates
In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") to clarify the determination of the customer of the operation services in a service concession arrangement. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard in conjunction with the revenue recognition standard, as described below. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.
In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. 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 March 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. 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 February 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the accounting guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. 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 January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill as part of the impairment test. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the definition of a business. 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 October 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to recognize the income tax consequences of certain intercompany assets transfers at the transaction date. 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 August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to address the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows. 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 June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to require entities to account for expected credit losses on financial instruments including trade receivables.
The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.

ARAMARK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to update several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. Upon adoption, the ASU requires that excess tax benefits for share-based payments be recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes and reflected within cash flows from operating activities rather than being recorded within stockholders’ equity and reflected within cash flows from financing activities. The standard also clarifies that all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on a cash flow statement, and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company elected to early adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2017.
The impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was
$6.2 million
and
$18.4 million
o
f excess tax benefit recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes
for the
three and nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
. The adoption impact to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately
$9.8 million
to increase retained earnings for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. The Company applied the guidance related to the presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a retrospective basis. The excess tax benefits of
$18.4 million
and
$21.7 million
f
or share-based awards are included in operating activities, previously classified in financing activities, and approximately
$22.7 million
and
$23.9 million
of cash paid for employee taxes for withheld shares are inclu
ded in financing activities, previously classified in operating activities, for the
nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
and
July 1, 2016
, respectively. As a result of the adoption, the excess tax benefits are no longer included in the calculation of diluted shares under the treasury stock method, which increased the diluted shares outstanding by approximately
1.4 million
shares for both the
three and nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
. The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period.
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 in the process of developing an inventory of its lease arrangements in order to determine the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Based on the assessment to date, the Company expects adoption of this standard to result in a material increase in lease-related assets and liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but does not expect it to have a significant impact on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows.
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 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 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 Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
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. As the new standard will supersede most existing revenue guidance affecting the Company, it could impact revenue and cost recognition on contracts across all reportable segments. The Company has been closely monitoring the FASB activity related to the new standard and continues to work to conclude on specific interpretative issues. The Company also continues to make progress on a comprehensive contract review project in order to develop a full understanding of the adoption impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Other Assets
Other assets consist primarily of client contract investments, investments in 50% or less owned entities, 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 generally amortized over the contract period. If a contract is terminated prior to its maturity date, the Company is generally reimbursed for the unamortized client contract investment amount. Client contract investments, net of accumulated amortization, were
$900.1 million
and
$865.0 million
as of
June 30, 2017
and
September 30, 2016
, respectively.
Income Taxes
Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the earnings since the beginning of the fiscal year of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the U.S. and, therefore, U.S. taxes have not been recorded on those earnings.

to redeem ASI's
5.750%
senior notes, due March 2020 (the "2020 Notes"), and to pay certain fees and related expenses. The Company recorded
$27.0 million
of charges to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the
nine months ended

, the Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately
$15.1 million
directly attributable to the Notes and approximately
$16.4 million
directly attributable to the new senior secured term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement, which are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

) with respect to U.S. and Canadian base rate borrowings. The applicable margin for the
Yen Term Loan
is
1.75%
. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the senior secured credit facilities, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The commitment fee rate ranges from
0.25%
to
0.40%
per annum (as of
June 30, 2017
—
0.30%
). The actual spreads within all ranges referred to above are based on a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The Company's revolving credit facility includes a
$250.0 million
sublimit for letters of credit.
The Credit Agreement provides that the Company has the right at any time to request one or more incremental term loan facilities or increases under existing term loan facilities and/or additional revolving credit facilities or increases under the existing revolving credit facility in an amount up to
$1,400.0 million
of incremental commitments in the aggregate plus an unlimited amount so long as the pro forma Consolidated Secured Debt to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement (the "Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio")) would not exceed
3.00
to 1.00, plus any amount of loans and commitments optionally prepaid and terminated under the senior secured credit facilities. The lenders under these facilities are not under any obligation to provide any such incremental facilities or commitments, and any such addition of or increase in facilities or commitments will be subject to customary conditions precedent. The revolving credit facility may be drawn by ASI as well as by certain foreign subsidiaries of ASI. Each foreign borrower is subject to a sublimit of
$150.0 million
with respect to borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
As of
June 30, 2017
, there was approximately
$842.8 million
available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility.
Prepayments and Amortization
The Credit Agreement requires us to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:
|
•
|
50%
of
ASI
's annual excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with stepdowns to
25%
and
0%
upon
ASI
's reaching certain Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio thresholds; provided, further, that such prepayment shall only be required to the extent excess cash flow for the applicable year exceeds
$10.0 million
;
|
|
•
|
100%
of the net cash proceeds of all nonordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property subject to certain exceptions and customary reinvestment rights; provided, further, that such prepayment shall only be required to the extent net cash proceeds exceeds
$100.0 million
; and
|
|
•
|
100%
of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of debt, but excluding proceeds from certain debt permitted under the Credit Agreement.
|
The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to the term loan facilities on a pro rata basis and will reduce the obligations to make scheduled amortization payments on a dollar for dollar basis as directed by the Company. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than (i) customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBOR loans and (ii) with respect to any voluntary prepayments of the
U.S. Term Loan B
in connection with any repricing transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement) effected prior to September 28, 2017, a
1%
prepayment premium. Prepaid term loans may not be reborrowed.
If a change of control as defined in the Credit Agreement occurs, this will cause an event of default under the Credit Agreement. Upon an event of default, the new senior secured credit facilities may be accelerated, in which case the Company would be required to repay all outstanding loans plus accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts outstanding under the new senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement.
The Company is required to make quarterly principal repayments on the
U.S. Term Loan B
and the
Yen Term Loan
in quarterly amounts of
1.00%
per annum of their funded total principal amount. The Company is required to make quarterly principal repayments on the
U.S. Term Loan A
and the
Canadian Term Loan
in quarterly amounts of

per annum of their funded total principal amount in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth years after the closing date of the senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement, respectively.
Guarantees
All obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Aramark Intermediate HoldCo Corporation and, subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of
ASI
's existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries excluding certain immaterial subsidiaries, receivables facility subsidiaries, certain other customarily excluded subsidiaries and certain subsidiaries designated under the Credit Agreement as "unrestricted subsidiaries", referred to, collectively, as the U.S. Guarantors. All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by (i) a pledge of
100%
of the capital stock of
ASI
, (ii) pledges of
100%
of the capital stock (or
65%
of voting stock and
100%
of non-voting stock, in the case of the stock of foreign subsidiaries) held by
ASI
, Aramark Intermediate HoldCo Corporation or any of the U.S. Guarantors and (iii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible assets of Aramark Intermediate HoldCo Corporation,
ASI
or any of the U.S. Guarantors.
Certain Covenants
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions,
ASI
's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries 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 its capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; repay or repurchase any subordinated debt, except as scheduled or at maturity; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other transfers to
ASI
from its restricted subsidiaries; make certain acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend material agreements governing
ASI
's subordinated debt; and fundamentally change
ASI
's business. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires
ASI
to comply with a maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio maintenance covenant. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants, such as financial and other reporting, and certain events of default. At
June 30, 2017
,
ASI
was in compliance with all of these covenants.
The Credit Agreement requires
ASI
to maintain a maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio, defined as consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, of
5.125
x. 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 amount of cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet that is free and clear of any lien. Non-compliance with the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, which, if
ASI
's revolving credit facility lenders failed to waive any such default, would also constitute a default under the indentures governing the senior notes.
The Credit Agreement establishes an incurrence-based minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, defined as Covenant Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, as a condition for
ASI
and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and to make certain restricted payments. The minimum Interest Coverage Ratio is
2.00
x for the term of the Credit Agreement. If
ASI
does not maintain this minimum Interest Coverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis for any such additional indebtedness or restricted payments, it 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.
A failure to pay any obligations under the Credit Agreement 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 the Company’s other outstanding debt obligations, including the senior notes.

Issuer's
future subordinated indebtedness. The
Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of
ASI
and the
3.125%
2025 Notes are guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by ASI.
The guarantees of the Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of the senior obligations of such guarantor, including guarantees of the senior secured credit facilities, the 2024 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the
5.000%
2025 Notes or

2025 Notes with respect to ASI, ASI’s obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, the 2024 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the
5.000%
2025 Notes.
Each series of the Notes and the related guarantees thereof are effectively subordinated to all of the respective Issuers' existing and future secured indebtedness,
including obligations and/or guarantees of
the
senior secured credit facilities under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of
ASI
's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the
Notes
.
Interest on the Notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2017. Interest accrues from March 22, 2017 for the
5.000%
2025 Notes and interest accrues from March 27, 2017 for the
3.125%
2025 Notes.
In the event of certain types of changes of control, the holders of the Notes may require the applicable Issuer to purchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to
101%
of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. Beginning April 1, 2020,
ASI
has the option to redeem all or a portion of the
5.000%
2025 Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the
5.000%
2025 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Beginning April 1, 2020,
AIFS
has the option to redeem all or a portion of the
3.125%
2025 Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the
3.125%
2025 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The
5.000%
2025 Notes Indenture and the
3.125%
2025 Notes Indenture contain 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; limit 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's and its restricted subsidiaries assets; and designate ASI's subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The
5.000%
2025 Notes Indenture and the
3.125%
2025 Notes Indenture also provide for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the applicable series of Notes to become or to be declared due and payable.
Further, a failure to pay any obligations under the
5.000%
2025 Notes Indenture or the
3.125%
2025 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 the Company’s other outstanding debt obligations, including the other senior notes and obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Fiscal 2016 Refinancing Transactions
On May 31, 2016, ASI issued
$1.0 billion
principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of the 2024 Notes and the 2026 Notes. The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of December 17, 2015, as supplemented by the supplemental indenture, dated as of May 31, 2016, entered into by ASI, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the 2024 Notes and the Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of May 31, 2016, entered into by ASI, certain other Aramark entities, as guarantors of the 2026 Notes and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The 2024 Notes were issued at a premium of
$18.8 million
, which created an effective yield of
4.6%
. The premium was recorded to "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income until maturity in 2024. The 2026 Notes were issued at par.
The net proceeds from the 2024 Notes and the 2026 Notes and premium from the 2024 Notes were used to redeem
$194.1 million
of the senior secured term loan facility due September 2019 (the "2019 Term Loans"), repay
$771.2 million
principal of the 2020 Notes, pay a
$22.2 million
call premium on the 2020 Notes, pay
$11.1 million
of accrued interest on the 2020 Notes and fees and costs associated with the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes. As a result of the issuance of the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes, the Company recorded charges of approximately
$30.2 million
, to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended July 1, 2016, consisting of
$22.2 million
for the call premium on the 2020 Notes and
$8.0 million
of non-cash charges for the write-off of debt issuance costs and debt discount on the 2020 Notes and 2019 Term Loans. The Company also paid approximately
$14.2 million
in debt issuance costs spread evenly between the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes, which were recorded as a reduction to "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On December 17, 2015, ASI issued
$400 million
of 2024 Notes, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 17, 2015, entered into by ASI, 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. The Company paid approximately
$6.0 million
in financing fees related to 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 the risk of 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 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 previously entered into approximately
$2.4 billion
notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company entered into
$200.0 million
notional amount of forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the cash flow risk of variability in interest payments on variable rate borrowings. In addition, interest rate swaps with a notional amount of
$350.0 million
matured during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. As a result of the Credit Agreement, the Company de-designated the previous interest rate swap agreements as the terms of the interest rate swaps did not match the terms of the new term loans. Prior to the Credit Agreement, these agreements met the required criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company then amended the interest rate swap agreements to match the terms of the new term loans under the Credit Agreement to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As a result of the de-designation, the Company recorded charges to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the
nine months ended
June 30, 2017
of approximately
$2.9 million
for the changes in market value of the interest rate swaps.
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. Approximately
($7.4) million
and
($36.4) million
of unrealized net of tax losses related to the interest rate swaps were included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" as of
June 30, 2017
and
September 30, 2016
, respectively. As of
June 30, 2017
, such amount principally represents the fair value of the original interest rate swap agreements on the de-designation date, which will be recognized in income over the original anticipated cash flow period. The hedge ineffectiveness for these cash flow hedging instruments during the
nine months ended
June 30, 2017
and
July 1, 2016
was not material.

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. As of
June 30, 2017
, the Company has contracts for approximately
20.2 million
gallons outstanding for 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 unsettled contracts was a
loss
of approximately
$2.6 million
and approximately
$3.6 million
for the
three and nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
, respectively. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts was a
gain
of approximately
$10.7 million
and
$7.9 million
for the
three and nine
months ended
July 1, 2016
, respectively. The change in fair value for unsettled contracts is included in "Selling and general corporate expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. When the contracts settle, the gain or loss is recorded to"Costs of services provided" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
As of
June 30, 2017
, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of
€47.0 million
,
£50.3 million
and CAD
14.0 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 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Certain of the Company's lease arrangements, primarily vehicle leases, with terms of
one
to
eight
years, contain provisions related to residual value guarantees. The maximum potential liability to the Company under such arrangements was approximately
$94.6 million
at
June 30, 2017
if the terminal fair value of vehicles coming off lease was
zero
. Consistent with past experience, management does not expect any significant payments will be required pursuant to these arrangements.
No
amounts have been accrued for guarantee arrangements at
June 30, 2017
.
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 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.

NOTE 11. BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
The Company reports its operating results in
three
reportable segments: FSS North America, FSS International and Uniform. Corporate includes general expenses not specifically allocated to an individual segment and share-based compensation expense (see note 8). In the Company's food and support services segments, approximately
80%
of the global sales is related to food services and
20%
is related to facilities services. Financial information by segment follows (in millions):

ARAMARK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
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
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, 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. The fair value of the Company's debt at
June 30, 2017
and
September 30, 2016
was
$5,680.8 million
and
$5,365.6 million
, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt at
June 30, 2017
and
September 30, 2016
was
$5,514.4 million
and
$5,270.0 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.
NOTE 13. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ARAMARK AND SUBSIDIARIES:
The following condensed consolidating financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.
The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented for: (i) Aramark (the "Parent"); (ii) Aramark Services, Inc. and

(the "Issuers"); (iii) the guarantors; (iv) the non guarantors; (v) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the Issuers, the guarantor and non guarantors; and (vi) the Company on a consolidated basis. Each of the guarantors is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. All other subsidiaries of the Company, either direct or indirect, are non guarantors and do not guarantee the 2024 Notes, the 2026 Notes
and the Notes
. The guarantors also guarantee certain other debt. See note 5 for additional descriptions of the Notes. These condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared from the Company's financial information on the same basis of accounting as the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. Our core market is North America, which is supplemented by an additional
17
-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 Food and Support Services operations focus on serving clients in five principal sectors: Business & Industry, Education, Healthcare, Sports, Leisure & Corrections and Facilities & Other. Our FSS International reportable segment provides a similar range of services as those provided to our FSS North America clients and operates in the same sectors although it is more heavily weighted towards Business & Industry.
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 29, 2017
and
September 30, 2016
are each fifty-two week periods.

Consolidated Overview
Sales were comparable for the three month period and represented an increase of approximately
1%
for the
nine
month period of fiscal
2017
compared to the prior year periods, respectively. Sales for the
three and nine
month periods of fiscal
2017
were primarily impacted by:
|
•
|
growth in the Sports, Leisure & Corrections sector partially offset by a decrease in the Healthcare sector in the FSS North America segment;
|
•
growth in Ireland and Germany partially offset by a decrease in the U.K. in the FSS International segment; and
|
•
|
the negative impact of foreign currency translation (approximately $33 million and $96 million or -1% of the consolidated results in each period, respectively).
|
Cost of services provided as a percentage of sales was
90%
for the three month periods of both fiscal
2017
and fiscal
2016
and
89%
and
90%
for the
nine
month periods of fiscal
2017
and fiscal
2016
, respectively. The following table presents the percentages attributable to the components in cost of services provided for the
three and nine
months ended
June 30, 2017

Operating income of
$154.7 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2017
represented a decrease of approximately
9%
compared to the prior year period. The decrease in operating income for the three months ended
June 30, 2017
was impacted by:
•
a profit decline in the FSS International and Uniform segments;
•
an increase in severance related costs (approximately $16.6 million); and
|
•
|
a quarter-over-quarter increase in the loss
related to the change in the fair value of certain gasoline and diesel agreements (approximately $14.2 million); which more than offset
|
•
profit growth in the FSS North America segment.
30
Operating income of
$590.2 million
for the
nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
represented an increase of approximately
6%
compared to the prior year period. The increase in operating income for the
nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
was impacted by:
•
profit growth in the FSS North America segment;
|
•
|
a decrease in acquisition-related amortization expense (approximately $17.6 million);
|
|
•
|
the prior year period charges related to the sale of one of our buildings (approximately $6.8 million); and
|
|
•
|
a gain
from a retrospective refund under our casualty insurance program related to favorable loss experience in a prior year
(approximately $6.5 million);
which more than offset
|
|
•
|
a year-over-year increase in the loss
related to the change in the fair value of certain gasoline and diesel agreements (approximately $12.3 million);
|
|
•
|
an increase in share-based compensation (approximately $6.8 million);
and
|
|
•
|
an increase in severance related costs (approximately $9.4 million).
|
Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three month period of fiscal
2017
decreased
41%
compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to refinancing activity in the prior year period, which resulted in charges of approximately $30.2 million, consisting of $22.2 million for the call premium on the 5.75% Senior Notes, due March 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and $8.0 million of non-cash charges for the write-off of debt issuance costs and debt discount on the 2020 Notes and the senior secured term loan facility, due September 2019. The quarter was also favorably impacted by lower weighted average interest rates from the refinancing activity in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as well as the maturing of interest rate swaps.
Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the
nine
month period of fiscal
2017
decreased
9%
compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to lower weighted average interest rates from the refinancing activity in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as well as the maturing of interest rate swaps.
The effective income tax rate for the
three and nine
month periods of fiscal
2017
was
29.9%
and
28.6%
, respectively, compared to
31.6%
and
33.7%
in the prior periods, respectively.
The decrease in the effective tax rate in both current year periods is primarily due to the
$6.2 million
and
$18.4 million
tax benefit recognized for the
three and nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
, respectively, as a result of the adoption of the accounting standards update related to share-based payment transactions (see note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and from the impact of certain permanently reinvested foreign earnings.

|
|
•
|

2017
decreased
33%
and
5%
compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The decrease in operating income for the

•
|
a profit decline in the U.K. and South America; and

•
|
a year-over-year increase in the loss related to the change in the fair value of certain gasoline and diesel agreements (approximately $14.2 million and $12.3 million, respectively); and
|
|
•
|
an increase in share-based compensation expense (approximately $1.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively); which more than offset
|
|
•
|
the decrease in consulting costs related to our transformation initiatives (approximately $3.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively).

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
June 30, 2017
, we had
$154.7 million
of cash and cash equivalents and approximately
$842.8 million
of availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility. A significant portion of our cash and cash equivalents is held in mature, liquid markets where we have operations. As of
June 30, 2017
, there was approximately
$571.4 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. Repatriation of certain overseas funds can result in additional U.S. federal income tax payments. Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liability was recorded amounted to approximately
$80 million
at
June 30, 2017
. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been provided thereon. As part of our ongoing liquidity assessments, we routinely monitor our cash flow (including the mix of domestic and international inflows and outflows) and the condition of the capital markets in order to be prepared to respond to changing conditions.
The table below summarizes our cash activity (in millions):

Reference to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows will facilitate understanding of the discussion that follows.
Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
During the
nine
month period of fiscal
2017
, there was an increase in net income as discussed above. The change in operating assets and liabilities was approximately
$34.2 million
favorable compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the following:
|
•
|
Prepayments were a larger source of cash in the current period due to
the timing of prepayments made at the end fiscal 2016 related to interest on the U.S. dollar denominated term loan, insurance premiums and taxes; and
|
|
•
|
Accounts payable were less of a use of cash compared to the prior year period due to the timing of disbursements; partially offset by
|
|
•
|
Accounts receivable were a greater use of cash compared to the prior year period due to the timing of collections; and
|
|
•
|
Accrued expenses were a greater use of cash compared to the prior year period due to timing of payroll related costs and from the timing of payments for interest and client advances.
|
During the
nine
month period of fiscal
2017
, the Company received proceeds of approximately $9.7 million related to our casualty insurance program from our loss experience being favorable related to a prior year. The "Other operating activities" caption primarily reflects the adjustments to net income in both periods related to certain financing related charges in connection with our refinancing activities.
33
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
The increase in net cash flows used in investing activities between periods relates primarily to higher level of spending for acquisitions.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
During the nine month period of fiscal
2017
, Aramark Services, Inc. issued $600.0 million of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2025 and Aramark International Finance S.à.r.l. issued €325.0 million ($351.5 million) of 3.125% Senior Notes due 2025 (collectively the "Senior Notes"). Also during the nine month period of fiscal 2017, we entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which resulted in the Company receiving proceeds of $2.4 billion in the aggregate of new U.S. term loans, new CAD133.4 million ($100.2 million) of term loans denominated in Canadian dollars and ¥11,107.0 million ($99.7 million) of term loans denominated in yen. The proceeds from the issuances of the Senior Notes and new Credit Agreement were used to repay all existing term loan facilities under the Company's existing senior secured credit facilities, redeem $228.8 million of the 5.750% Senior Notes due 2020 and to pay related fees and expenses of approximately $43.0 million, which are included in "Other financing activities" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
nine
months ended
June 30, 2017
(
See note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
During the
nine
month period of fiscal
2016
, Aramark Services, Inc. issued $900.0 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due January 2024 and $500.0 million of 4.750% Senior Notes due June 2026, repaid principal of the 2020 Notes in the amount of $771.2 million, repaid a U.S. dollar denominated term loan of a Canadian subsidiary in the amount of $74.1 million and made an optional prepayment of outstanding term loans under our senior secured term loan facility due September 2019 of $254.1 million. The "Other financing activities" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
nine
months ended July 1, 2016 includes $22.2 million from the call premium paid on the 2020 Notes.
During fiscal 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program providing for purchases of up to
$250 million
of Aramark common stock over the next two years, pursuant to which the Company repurchased approximately
2.8 million
shares of its common stock for
$100.0 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. We may utilize various methods to effect repurchases of our common stock under the repurchase program, which could include open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, block transactions, accelerated share repurchase or open market solicitations for shares, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. Repurchases will be made at our discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
The "Other financing activities" also reflects a use of cash during the
nine
month period of fiscal
2017
and fiscal
2016
primarily related to taxes paid by the Company when the Company withholds shares upon an employee's exercise or vesting of equity awards to cover income taxes (see note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
Covenant Compliance
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries 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 subordinated debt, 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 our subordinated debt (or any indebtedness that refinances our subordinated debt); and fundamentally change our business. The indentures governing our senior notes contain similar provisions. As of
June 30, 2017
, we were in compliance with these covenants. Generally, the covenants of the Credit Agreement remain substantially consistent with the previous credit agreement.
As stated above, the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our senior notes contain provisions that restrict our ability to pay dividends and repurchase stock (collectively, “Restricted Payments”). In addition to customary exceptions, the Credit Agreement and indentures permit Restricted Payments in the aggregate up to an amount that increases quarterly by 50% of our Consolidated Net Income, as such term is defined in these debt agreements, subject to being in compliance with the interest coverage ratio described below.
Under the Credit Agreement, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests and covenants. The indentures governing our senior notes also require us to comply with certain financial ratios in order to take certain actions. 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 Adjusted EBITDA." Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. Covenant Adjusted 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, further adjusted
34
to give effect to adjustments required in calculating covenant ratios and compliance under our Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our senior notes.
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 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 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 Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of Aramark Services, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries only and does not include the results of Aramark.

(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
5.125x
. 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 amount of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet that is free and clear of any lien. Non-compliance with the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under our Credit Agreement, which, if our revolving credit facility lenders failed to waive any such default, would also constitute a default under the indentures governing our senior notes.
|
|
(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
|
35
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 incremental capacity 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
2.000x
for the term of the Credit Agreement. The indentures governing our senior notes include a similar requirement which is referred to as a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.
The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates 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.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company had a material change to its debt structure (See note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). As a result of this material change in debt structure, the following table summarizes our estimated future obligations for debt repayments and estimated interest payments as of

These amounts represent future interest payments related to our existing debt obligations based on fixed and variable interest rates specified in the associated debt agreements. Payments related to variable debt are based on applicable rates at
June 30, 2017
plus the specified margin in the associated debt agreements for each period presented. The amounts provided relate only to existing debt obligations and do not assume the refinancing or replacement of such debt. The average debt balance for each fiscal year from 2017 through 2022 is $4,975.2 million, $4,922.2 million, $4,865.1 million, $4,792.7 million, $4,700.3 million and $4,320.4 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of our existing debt obligations for each fiscal year from 2017 through 2022 is 4.08%, 4.04%, 3.95%, 3.91%, 3.82% and 3.92%, respectively (see note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the terms and maturities of existing debt obligations).

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
November 23, 2016
. 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
November 23, 2016
.
Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the earnings since the beginning of the fiscal year of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the U.S. and, therefore, U.S. taxes have not been recorded on those earnings.
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.
36
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 information below summarizes our market risks associated with debt obligations as of
June 30, 2017
. 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 (see notes 5 and 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The table presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by contractual fiscal year of maturity. Variable interest rates disclosed represent the weighted-average rates of the portfolio at
June 30, 2017
.
The Company's market risk associated with its interest rate swaps has not materially changed from
September 30, 2016
(see note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
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 and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. 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
third
quarter of fiscal
2017
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
37
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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
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
September 30, 2016
and filed with the SEC on
November 23, 2016
.
Item 5. Other Information
On August 2, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company amended and restated the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”), effective immediately, to implement a proxy access by-law permitting a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning 3% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate, and have included in the Company’s proxy materials, director nominees constituting up to the greater of two individuals and 20% of the Board of Directors (rounded down), provided that the stockholder(s) and the proxy access nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the By-laws. Requests to include stockholder-nominated director candidates in Aramark's proxy statement for its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by Aramark between October 4, 2017 and November 3, 2017. In addition, the Board of Directors also made certain other clerical changes to the By-laws.
The description of the amendments to the By-Laws is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amended and restated By-Laws, a copy of which is attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 3.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 6. Exhibits
Required exhibits are listed in the Index to Exhibits and are incorporated herein by reference.
