Consolidated revenue was $4.3 billion in the quarter, an increase of 11% on a constant-currency basis over the prior-year period, composed of a 4.5% increase in revenue related to the Avendra and AmeriPride acquisitions, 2.5% increase in revenue related to an accounting rule change, and 4% of growth in the legacy business. The year over year decrease due to the divestiture of the Healthcare Technologies business has been excluded from the calculation of legacy business.

The Company continues to deliver broad-based productivity improvements while reinvesting in the business. The FSS United States segment income benefited from the inclusion of Avendra results and synergies, as well as a client payment. In the FSS International segment, these improvements were offset by start-up costs associated with onboarding several new business wins across multiple geographies, and an increase in personnel costs. Uniform income benefited from the inclusion of AmeriPride results and synergies.

FIRST QUARTER SUMMARY

On a GAAP basis, revenue was $4.3 billion, operating income was $373 million, net income attributable to Aramark stockholders was $251 million, which includes a net gain on sale of the Healthcare Technologies business of approximately $140 million, and diluted earnings per share were $0.99. This compares to the first quarter of 2018 where, on a GAAP basis, revenue was $4.0 billion, operating income was $217 million, net income attributable to Aramark stockholders was $292 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.16. First quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased (15)% year-over-year, primarily due to a decrease in the net benefit to the income tax provision related to tax reform, partially offset by increased operating income. Adjusted net income was $160 million or $0.63 per share, versus adjusted net income of $139 million or $0.55 per share in the first quarter of 2018. A stronger U.S. dollar decreased revenue by approximately $59 million, and had a negative impact of approximately $3 million on operating income as well as a one-cent negative impact on adjusted earnings per share.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE & LIQUIDITY

Total trailing 12-month net debt to covenant adjusted EBITDA was 4.2x at the end of the quarter, a 30 basis point improvement versus the end of the first quarter of 2018.

During the quarter, the Company received $293 million of proceeds from the sale of the Healthcare Technologies business, the majority of which were used for debt reduction. At quarter-end the company had approximately $1.2 billion in cash and availability on its revolving credit facility.

SHARE REPURCHASE

During the quarter, the company repurchased 1.6 million shares of Aramark common stock for an aggregate amount of $50 million.

2019 OUTLOOK

The Company provides its expectations for full-year adjusted EPS and full-year free cash flow on a non-GAAP basis, and does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for the impact of the change in fair value related to certain gasoline and diesel agreements, severance and other charges and the effect of currency translation.

The Company is increasing its 2019 adjusted EPS outlook to $2.30 to $2.40 per share, which now reflects the full impact of the Healthcare Technologies divestiture, principally due to the use of proceeds to pay down debt. It also includes 4 cents of currency headwinds. The Company is affirming its full-year free cash flow outlook of $500 million. This outlook includes approximately $50 million in cash outlay related to the divestiture of the Healthcare Technologies business, and approximately $50 million in spending on the integrations of Avendra and AmeriPride. The Company expects its leverage ratio to be at 3.8x by the end of the fiscal year.

The Company has scheduled a conference call at 10 a.m. ET today to discuss its earnings and outlook. This call and related materials can be heard and reviewed, either live or on a delayed basis, on the Company's web site, www.aramark.com on the investor relations page.

Selected Operational and Financial Metrics

Adjusted Revenue

Adjusted Revenue represents revenue growth, adjusted to eliminate the impact of currency translation and divestitures.

Legacy Business Revenue

Legacy Business Revenue represents Adjusted Revenue, excluding the revenue of AmeriPride and Avendra, the impact of the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the effect of divestitures and the impact of currency translation.

Adjusted Operating Income

Adjusted Operating Income represents operating income adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; the impact of the change in fair value related to certain gasoline and diesel agreements; severance and other charges; the effect of divestitures; merger and integration related charges and other items impacting comparability.

Adjusted Operating Income (Constant Currency)

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

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income represents net income attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted to eliminate the change in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; the impact of changes in the fair value related to certain gasoline and diesel agreements; severance and other charges; merger and integration related charges; the effect of divestitures; the effects of refinancings on interest and other financing costs, net; the impact of tax reform and other items impacting comparability, less the tax impact of these adjustments. The tax effect for adjusted net income for our U.S. earnings is calculated using a blended U.S. federal and state tax rate. The tax effect for adjusted net income in jurisdictions outside the U.S. is calculated at the local country tax rate.

Adjusted Net Income (Constant Currency)

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

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Adjusted EPS (Constant Currency)

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

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA represents net income attributable to Aramark stockholders adjusted for interest and other financing costs, net; provision (benefit) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; and certain other items as defined in our debt agreements required in calculating covenant ratios and debt compliance. The Company also uses Net Debt for its ratio to Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as total long-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less net purchases of property and equipment and other assets. Management believes that the presentation of free cash flow provides useful information to investors because it represents a measure of cash flow available for distribution among all the security holders of the Company.

We use Adjusted Revenue, Legacy Business Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income (including on a constant currency basis), Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (including on a constant currency basis), Adjusted EPS (including on a constant currency basis) and Free Cash Flow as supplemental measures of our operating profitability and to control our cash operating costs. We believe these financial measures are useful to investors because they enable better comparisons of our historical results and allow our investors to evaluate our performance based on the same metrics that we use to evaluate our performance and trends in our results. These financial metrics are not measurements of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Our presentation of these metrics has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to revenue, operating income, net income, or earnings per share, determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Revenue, Legacy Business Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow as presented by us, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations.
