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, with respect to, without limitation, anticipated effects of our adoption of new accounting standards, the expected impact of strategic portfolio actions, the benefits and costs of our acquisitions of each of Avendra, LLC ("Avendra") and AmeriPride Services, Inc. ("AmeriPride") and related financings,, as well as statements regarding these companies' services and products and 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 or continue to be 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, financial results and our estimated benefits and costs of our acquisitions 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 or the costs and benefits of the acquisitions 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; our ability to successfully integrate the businesses of Avendra and AmeriPride and costs and timing related thereto, the risk of unanticipated restructuring costs or assumption of undisclosed liabilities, the risk that we are unable to achieve the anticipated benefits (including tax benefits) and synergies of the acquisition of AmeriPride and Avendra including whether the proposed transactions will be accretive and within the expected timeframes, the availability of sufficient cash to repay certain indebtedness and our decision to utilize the cash for that purpose, the disruption of the transactions to each of Avendra and AmeriPride and their respective managements; the effect of the transactions on each of Avendra's and AmeriPride's ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other third parties, our ability to attract new or maintain existing customer and supplier relationships at reasonable cost, our ability to retain key personnel 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 22, 201721, 2018 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 the United States, which is supplemented by an additional 18-country footprint. The Company operates its business in three reportable segments that share many of the same operating characteristics: Food and Support Services United States ("FSS United States"), Food and Support Services International ("FSS International") and Uniform and Career Apparel ("Uniform"). See Note 12 for further discussion over the FSS United States reporting segment reclassification and name change.
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 22, 2017.21, 2018. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 29, 201728, 2018 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company's business activities and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
New Accounting Standards Updates

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 Company early adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 was permitted. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance)future hedging arrangements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU which provides clarification regarding guidance related to the financial instrument standard. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the determination of the customer of the operation services in a service concession arrangement. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company adopted the guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which did not result in an impact to net income. However, certain balances, including $1.5 million and $5.2 million for the three and nine month period ended June 29, 2018, were reclassified from "Cost of services provided" to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company applied the practical expedient allowing for the use of amounts disclosed in the pension footnote for prior comparative periods as an estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to clarify the accounting guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

ARAMARK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Due to the lack of readily available fair values for the Company's equity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to measure these investments at cost minus impairment plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The guidance did not have an impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue from contracts with customers which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this guidance on September 29, 2018.
In connection with the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company completed a comprehensive contract review project and an evaluation of the standard's impact on the timing and presentation of various financial aspects of its contractual arrangements. The Company identified and implemented appropriate changes to business processes, controls and systems to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the timing of revenue recognition or net income, but it did have an impact on the financial statement line item classification of certain items (see Note 7).
The Company adopted the new revenue recognition guidance using the modified retrospective transition method. This method allows the new standard to be applied retrospectively through a cumulative catch up adjustment recognized upon adoption. As such, comparative information in the Company’s financial statements has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The cumulative transition adjustment, net of tax, was an increase to retained earnings upon adoption (approximately $58.4 million) mainly to capitalize costs to obtain contracts related to employee commissions previously expensed. See Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its fiscal 2018 Form 10-K for further information on its significant accounting policies related to revenue recognition and see Note 7 for further information on the impact of adopting the new revenue recognition standard.
Standards Not Yet Adopted (from most to least recent date of issuance)
In May 2019, the FASB issued an ASU which provides the option to irrevocably elect to apply the fair value measurement option on an instrument-by-instrument basis for certain financial instruments within the scope of the credit losses on financial instruments standard.

The guidance related to the credit losses on financial instruments ASU is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021 when the related ASU is adopted, while the guidance related to the derivatives and hedging and the financial instruments ASUs are effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, respectively.

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.
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. Recognition of expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income will continue in a manner similar to current guidance. The Company will adopt this guidance is effective forusing the Companymodified retrospective approach with an adjustment to recognize lease liabilities offset by a right-of-use asset. This adjustment will be recorded at the beginning of the period of adoption in the first quarter of fiscal 20202020; therefore, the Company will recognize and early adoption is permitted.measure leases without revising comparative period information or disclosure.
For existing leases as of the effective date, the Company will elect the package of practical expedients available at transition to not reassess historical lease determinations, lease classifications and initial direct costs. Additionally, the Company will not elect the use of hindsight for determining the reasonably certain lease term. The Company is inwill elect the process of reviewingshort-term lease recognition exemption whereby lease-related assets and liabilities will not be recognized for arrangements with terms less than one year.
The Company continues to review its lease arrangements in order to determine the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has also implemented a new lease system in connection with the adoption of this standard. The majority of the Company's lease spend relates to certain real estate, with the remaining lease spend primarily related to vehicles and equipment. Based on theits assessment, to date, the Company expects adoption of this standard towill result in a material increase in lease-related assets and liabilities in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but does not expect it to have a significant impact in 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. Under this guidance, equity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, are to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingcontinues to assess the impact of the pronouncement.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU on revenue from contracts with customers which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timingdisclosure requirements and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. 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.
In connection with the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company has completed its comprehensive contract review project, including contracts relating to its recent acquisitions, and its evaluation of the standard's impact on the timing and presentation of various financial aspects of its contractual arrangements. The Company is in the process of finalizing the documentation of the conclusions reached. Based on this assessment, the Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on the timing of revenue recognition or net income. The largest impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements will result from an increase in revenue within the Uniform segment for the reclassification of certain fees currently recognized as a reduction to “Cost of services provided” and employee commissions being capitalized and amortized over the expected customer relationship period. The Company has identified and is in the process of implementingimplement appropriate changes to business processes, controls and systems to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The Company plans to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective transition method, resulting in the recognition of a cumulative translation adjustment in retained earnings as of September 29, 2018.

Prior to February 1, 2021, ASI has the option to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of all 2028 Notes at a purchase price equal to 105% of the principal amount of such 2028 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, provided that at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes originally issued remain outstanding immediately after the purchase.
The 2028 Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting ASI's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; create certain liens; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; 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 2028 Notes Indenture also provides for events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the applicable series of 2028 Notes to become or to be declared due and payable. Further, a failure to pay any obligations under the 2028 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.

U.S. Term Loan B due 2025
On December 11, 2017, ASI entered into Incremental Amendment No. 2 (“Incremental Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement. Incremental Amendment No. 2 provides for an incremental senior secured credit facility under the Credit Agreement comprised of a U.S. dollar denominated term loan made to ASI in an amount equal to $1,785.0 million, due on March 11, 2025. On June 12, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment No. 6") to the Credit Agreement, which changed the applicable interest rate on the outstanding U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 borrowings (see below for further discussion). There were no other material changes to the terms of the U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 as a result of Amendment No. 6.
The net proceeds from the U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 were used to finance the Avendra acquisition and, together with approximately $200.0 million of proceeds from a borrowing made under the Credit Agreement’s revolving credit facility, to repay the $633.8 million of principal outstanding on the U.S. Term Loan A under the Credit Agreement, along with accrued interest and certain fees and related expenses. The Company recorded $5.7 million of charges to "Interest and Other Financing Costs, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended June 29, 2018 for the write-off of debt issuance costs.
The Company capitalized third-party costs of approximately $8.9 million directly attributable to the U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 under the Credit Agreement, which are included in "Long-Term Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 30, 2018.
The U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for deposits in U.S. dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of the administrative agent, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the LIBOR rate plus 1.00% plus an applicable margin set initially at 2.00% for borrowings based on the LIBOR rate and 1.00% for borrowings based on the base rate, in each case, subject to a reduction of 0.25% upon compliance by the Company with a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. As a result of Amendment No. 6, the applicable margin was changed from 2.00% for borrowings based on the eurocurrency (LIBOR) rate to 1.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.00%, and from 1.00% for borrowings based on the base rate to 0.75%, subject to a minimum base rate of 0.00%.
The Company is required to make quarterly principal repayments on the U.S. Term Loan B due 2025 in quarterly amounts of 1.00% per annum of the funded total principal amount and is subject to substantially similar terms relating to guarantees, collateral, mandatory prepayments and covenants that are applicable to the Company’s existing U.S. Term Loan B due 2024 outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
Future Maturities
At June 29, 2018, annual maturities on long-term borrowings maturing between fiscal years 2018 and 2022 and thereafter (excluding the $60.5 million reduction to long-term borrowings from debt issuance costs and the increase of $13.0 million from the premium on the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes")) are as follows (in thousands):

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, and how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively

and retrospectively. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has approximately $2.7$2.5 billion notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of June 29, 2018,28, 2019, which fixes the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings through the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

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 29, 2018,28, 2019, the Company has contracts for approximately 10.516.3 million gallons outstanding through the third quarter of fiscal 2019.2020. 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 gain of approximately $1.1 million and a loss of approximately $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, respectively. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts was a gain of approximately $0.1 million and a gain of approximately $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018, respectively. The impact on earnings related to the change in fair value of these unsettled contracts was a loss of approximately $2.6 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The change in fair value for unsettled contracts is included in "Selling and general corporate expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 7. REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company generates revenue through sales of food, facility and uniform services to customers based on written contracts at the locations it serves. Within our FSS United States and FSS International segments, the Company provides food and beverage services, including catering and retail services, or facilities services, including plant operations and maintenance, custodial, housekeeping, landscaping and other services. Within the Uniform segment, the Company provides a full service uniform solution, including delivery, cleaning and maintenance. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 ("ASC 606"), the Company accounts for a customer contract when both parties have approved the arrangement and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party's rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of the promised product or service to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services.
Performance Obligations
The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied. Each contract generally has one performance obligation, which is satisfied over time. The Company primarily accounts for its performance obligations under the series guidance, using the as-invoiced practical expedient when applicable. The Company applies the right to invoice practical expedient to record revenue as the services are provided, given the nature of the services provided and the frequency of billing under the customer contracts. Under this practical expedient, the Company recognizes revenue in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date and for which the Company has the right to invoice the customer. Certain arrangements include performance obligations which include variable consideration (primarily per transaction fees). For these arrangements, the Company does not need to estimate the variable consideration for the contract and allocate to the entire performance obligation; therefore, the variable fees are recognized in the period they are earned.
Impact of New Revenue Recognition Standard
As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, the following changes occurred with respect to financial statement line item classification in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements:
Transition Adjustment:
costs to obtain contracts related to employee sales commissions, previously expensed to “Cost of services provided” at contract inception, are now capitalized in “Other Assets” ($97.2 million and $105.4 million as of September 29, 2018 and June 28, 2019, respectively);
Other Reclassifications and Changes in Presentation:
certain fees within the Uniform segment, $91.7 million and $282.8 million for the three and nine month periods of fiscal 2019, previously recognized as a reduction to “Cost of services provided,” are now recognized in “Revenue;”
client contract investments, previously capitalized within “Other Assets” and amortized to “Depreciation and amortization” will continue to be expensed over the contract life as either a leasehold improvement in “Property and equipment, net” ($792.0 million as of June 28, 2019) or as long-term prepaid rent or costs to fulfill in “Other Assets” ($183.4 million and $110.1 million as of June 28, 2019, respectively) and primarily classified in “Depreciation and amortization” or “Cost of services provided;”
costs to fulfill contracts related to personalized work apparel, linens and other rental items in service, previously capitalized within "Inventories" are now capitalized within "Other Assets" ($355.2 million as of June 28, 2019); and
certain client contract investments, previously included within "Purchases of property and equipment and other" in Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are now included within "Payments made to clients on contracts" in Net cash provided by operating activities.

Contract Balances
The Company defers sales commissions earned by its sales force that are considered to be incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract tied to its food, facilities and uniform services. The deferred costs are amortized using the portfolio approach on a straight line basis over the average period of benefit and are assessed for impairment on a periodic basis. Determination of the amortization period and the subsequent assessment for impairment of the contract cost asset requires judgment. During the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, the Company expensed approximately $3.8 million and $11.0 million of these costs to “Cost of services provided” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Costs to fulfill contracts includes payments made by the Company to enhance the service resources used by the Company to satisfy its performance obligation. These amounts are amortized over the contract period. If a contract is terminated prior to its maturity date, the Company is typically reimbursed for the unamortized amount. During the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, the Company expensed approximately $5.2 million and $15.1 million of these costs to "Depreciation and amortization" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other costs to fulfill contracts represent personalized work apparel, linens and other rental items in service in the Uniform segment. The amounts are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which primarily range from one to four years. The amortization rates used are based on the Company's specific experience. The Company recorded expense of approximately $79.5 million and $237.0 million during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019 related to these costs, which was recorded in "Costs of services provided" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Deferred income is recognized in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when the Company has received consideration, or has the right to receive consideration, in advance of the transfer of the performance obligation of the contract to the customer, primarily prepaid meal plans. The consideration received remains a liability until the goods or services have been provided to the customer. The Company classifies deferred income as current as the arrangement is short term in nature.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES:
On December 22, 2017, “H.R.1,” commonly referred to as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Tax Legislation”) was signed into U.S. law. The Tax Legislation, which was effective on January 1, 2018, significantly revisesrevised the U.S. tax code by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% and implementing a territorialnew international tax systemprovisions that includesincluded a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Though certain key aspects of the new law arewere effective January 1, 2018 and havehad an immediate accounting impact, other significant provisions arewere not effective or maydid not result in accounting implications for the Company until after the fiscal year-end September 28, 2018 or after.
The impact of the corporate income tax rate change is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending September 28, 2018. The legislation requiresprovisions effective for fiscal 2019 are the tax on "Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income" ("GILTI"), the deduction for "Foreign-Derived Intangible Income" ("FDII"), the 163(j) limitation on interest expense and the 162(m) limitation on certain executive compensation.
During fiscal 2018, the Company made reasonable estimates related to use a blended rate for its fiscal 2018 tax year by applying a prorated percentage of days before and after the January 1, 2018 effective date. As a result, the Company's 2018 annual statutory rate has been reduced to 24.5%.
As a result of the enactmentcertain impacts of the Tax Legislation and, in accordance with the Company was required to recognize the effectSecurities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accountant Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the corporate incomeTax Cut and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), recorded provisional estimates during a measurement period when it did not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in tax rate change on its deferred tax assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the period in which the legislation was enacted. The Company recorded a provisional tax benefit from corporate income tax rate change and certain other adjustments, which resulted in a noncash benefit to the provision for income taxes of approximately $207.5 million, which was recorded to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. A corresponding reduction to the Company's deferred income tax liability was also recorded to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This was the Company’s provisional estimate and will be subject to adjustment as the computations are finalized.law.
The Tax Legislation also requires the Company to pay a one-time transition tax on unremitted earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company recorded a provisional estimate of the tax expense of approximately $2.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the one time transition tax, net of foreign tax credits. As a result of the Tax Legislation, the Company re-assessedreassessed during fiscal 2018 the ability to recover its $21.2$27.2 million of foreign tax credit ("FTC") carryforwards. Based on currently available information, the Company believesbelieved it willwould not generate sufficient foreign source income in the carryforward period to utilize a portion of these credits. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $21.2$13.1 million against its foreign tax credit carryforward during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as a provisional estimate. On the basis of proposed Treasury Regulations issued subsequent to the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K on November 21, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment to reduce the $13.1 million valuation allowance by $9.5 million, which was recorded as a tax benefit to the provision for income taxes during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company reduced the remaining $3.6 million valuation allowance and recorded a related uncertain tax position of $2.7 million, resulting in a net benefit to the provision for income taxes of $0.9 million.
The Tax Legislation contains additional international provisions which may impact the Company prospectively,beginning in the period ended December 28, 2018, including the tax on “Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income” (“GILTI”). The Company is currently unable to provide a reasonable provisional estimate as to whether additional deferred tax assets and liabilities should be recognized for basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years, pending clarification of interpretive issues and the availabilityimpact of the necessary information to develop a reasonable estimate. Accordingly, the Company has yet to determine whether GILTI tax should be recorded as a period expense or measured as a deferred tax asset or liability. However, the Company does not believe the impact will be material.
As the result of the one-time transition tax on unremitted foreign earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the shift from a worldwide system of taxation to a participation exemption system, the Company generally will not incur additional U.S. tax liability on the distribution of unremitted foreign earnings. However, other items continue to trigger additional tax expense for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded, including Section 986(c) currency gain/loss, foreign withholding taxes and state taxes. As a result, the Company has performed a preliminary assessment of its indefinite reinvestment position, pending further analysis and expected guidance around newly enacted legislation of U.S. taxation of foreign multinational companies, including the transition tax, GILTI and the potential tax liabilities attributable to repatriation under the Tax Legislation. Accordingly, the provisional estimate of undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liability was recorded amounted to approximately $71.6 million as of June 29, 2018. The provisional estimate of foreign withholding tax cost associated with remitting these earnings is approximately $3.9 million. Such amount has not been accrued by the Company as it believes those foreign earnings are permanently reinvested.
The Tax Legislation also contains limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and certain executive compensation, that are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company untilfinancial statements for the fiscal yearsyear ending after September 28, 2018.27, 2019. The Company continuesis electing to evaluate their impacttreat taxes due on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12.13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
Prior to fiscal 2018, theThe Company reported its operating results in three reportable segments: FSS North America,United States, FSS International and Uniform. Beginning in fiscal 2018, the segment reporting structure was modified to align more closely with the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, which was changed on September 30, 2017. Specifically, a majority of the Canadian operations, previously in the FSS North America segment, were combined with the FSS International reportable segment. The FSS North America reportable segment was then renamed the FSS United States reportable segment. All prior period segment information has been restated to reflect the new reportable segment structure. Management believes this new presentation enhances the utility of the segment information, as it reflects the Company’s current management structure and operating organization. The financial statement effect of this segment realignment was not material. Corporate includes general expenses not specifically allocated to an individual segment and share-based compensation expense (see Note 9)10).

NOTE 13.14. 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 gross values would not be materially different. The fair value of the Company's debt at June 29, 201828, 2019 and September 29, 201728, 2018 was $7,865.2$7,379.8 million and $5,450.1$7,303.1 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's debt at June 29, 201828, 2019 and September 29, 201728, 2018 was $7,870.3$7,252.7 million and $5,268.5$7,244.0 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.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of Aramark's (the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 29, 201828, 2019 and June 30, 201729, 2018 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements for the fiscal year ended September 29, 201728, 2018 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 22, 2017.21, 2018.
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.beliefs, that are based upon our current expectations but that involve risks and uncertainties. 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 forthdescribed 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 the United States, which is supplemented by an additional 18-country footprint. Through our established brand, broad geographic presence and employees, we anchor our business in our partnerships with thousands of education, healthcare, business, sports, leisure and 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 United States ("FSS United States"), 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 United States clients and operates in the same sectors although it is more heavily weighted towards Business & Industry.sectors. Administrative expenses not allocated to our three reportable segments are presented separately as corporate expenses.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we acquired Avendra, LLC ("Avendra") and during the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we acquired AmeriPride Services, Inc. ("AmeriPride") in separate transactions (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).transactions. The Avendra acquisition consideration was $1,386.4 million, partially offset by $87.3 million of cash and restricted investments acquired. The AmeriPride acquisition consideration was $995.4 million, partially offset by $84.9 million of cash acquired. We incurred new debt to finance both the Avendra and AmeriPride acquisitions (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).acquisitions. We expect our earnings for some period following the closings to be impacted as a result of these acquisitions, due to, among other factors, merger and integration costs as well as depreciation and amortization resulting from purchase accounting and higher interest expense as a result of the new debt to finance the transactions. As a part of the mergerintegration of Avendra and integration,AmeriPride, we expect to incur an additional $80approximately $30 million to $35 million of additional charges over the next three years.15 months.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Companywe launched the next phase of itsour program related to food, labor and selling and general administrative initiatives to generate additional cost savings. These initiatives include a reduction in headcount through reorganization and integration, the relocation of our headquarterheadquarters facility and certain other costs. Efforts related to this next phase of streamlining are already underway, and have resulted in a fiscal 2018 year-to-date chargecharges of approximately $62 million. The company$47 million in the nine months ended June 28, 2019. We currently expectsexpect to incur additional charges of up to approximately $45 million related to these initiatives.this phase of approximately $5 million within the remaining months of fiscal 2019.
Divestiture
On November 9, 2018, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned Healthcare Technologies ("HCT") business for $293.7 million in cash. The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $156.3 million (tax effected gain of $139.2 million) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended June 28, 2019. We evaluated the sale under the rules for discontinued operations and concluded it did not meet all of the criteria required.


Seasonality
Our salesrevenue and operating results have varied from quarter to quarter as a result of different factors. Historically, within our FSS United States 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.

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 28, 201827, 2019 and September 29, 201728, 2018 are each fifty-two week periods.

Operating income of $188.2increased by approximately $2.1 million and $543.7$146.5 million forduring the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2018 represented an increase of approximately 22% and a decrease of approximately 8%fiscal 2019, compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The increase in operating income forduring the three month period ended June 29,of fiscal 2019 was attributable to:
a decrease in share-based compensation expense primarily related to the increase in Performance Stock Unit ("PSU") attainment percentages during fiscal 2018 (approximately $19.6 million); and
profit growth in our Sports, Leisure & Corrections and Education sectors within our FSS U.S. segment; partially offset by
higher personnel costs (approximately $36.0 million), including employee incentive expenses and expenses for employee reinvestments funded by benefits from U.S. tax reform;
profit decline from the divestiture of HCT; and
closing costs mainly related to customer contracts within our FSS International segment (approximately $8.5 million).
The increase in operating income during the nine month period of fiscal 2019 was impacted by:attributable to:
a gain from the divestiture of the HCT business (approximately $156.3 million);
an increase in profit related to the acquisitions of Avendra and AmeriPride;
profit growth in the FSS International segment;AmeriPride and lower merger and integration costs (approximately $38.5 million);
lower severance and consulting costs related to streamlining initiatives ($18.3(approximately $23.4 million);
lower compensation and benefit costs; and
the positive impact of foreign currency translation ($3 million or approximately 2%); which more than offset
acquisition and merger and integration costs related to the Avendra and AmeriPride acquisitions ($9.7 million);
an increase in depreciation and amortization expense primarily related to the acquisitions and client contract investments ($30.5 million); and
an increasea decrease in share-based compensation expense primarily related to the increase in the expected performance stock unit ("PSU") attainment percentage ($19.2 million).
The decrease in operating income for the nine month period ended June 29, 2018 was impacted by:
acquisition and merger and integration costs related to the Avendra and AmeriPride acquisitions ($64.8 million);
an increase in severance costs related to streamlining initiatives ($21.3 million);
an increase in depreciation and amortization expense primarily related to the acquisitions and client contract investments ($65.4 million);
an increase in share-based compensation expense primarily related to the increase in the expected PSU attainment percentage ($18.0percentages during fiscal 2018 (approximately $19.9 million); and
an increaseincome relating to the recovery of our investment (possessory interest) at one of the National Park Service ("NPS") sites in consultingthe FSS United States segment (approximately $16.2 million); partially offset by
higher personnel costs (approximately $117.2 million), including employee incentive expenses and expenses for employee reinvestments funded by benefits from U.S. tax reform;
profit decline in the Business & Industry sector, primarily due to reinvestment costs for new and retained business, and from the divestiture of HCT; and
closing costs mainly related to streamlining initiatives ($16.5customer contracts within our FSS International segment (approximately $10.5 million); which more than offset
an increase in income related to our casualty insurance program from prior years' loss experience that were favorable ($11.8 million);
lower compensation and benefits costs; and
the positive impact of foreign currency translation ($7 million or approximately 1%).
Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, decreased 8% and 3% during the three and nine month periods of fiscal 2019, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in favorable returns on our interest rate swaps of $2.8 million and $11.8 million for the three and nine month periods of fiscal 2018 increased 48% and 16% compared to the prior year periods,2019, respectively. The increasedecrease for the three and nine month periods was primarily due to new borrowings in the current year to finance the Avendra and AmeriPride acquisitions. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in charges related to refinancing activity for which $30.0 million was incurred during the nine month period of fiscal 2017 for2019 was partially offset by higher borrowings from the write-off of deferred financing costs, original issue discount and call premium compared to $17.7 million incurred during the nine month period ofin fiscal 2018 for the write-off of debt issuance costs and financing commitment fees related to the Avendra and AmeriPride acquisitions.
The effective income tax rate for the three and nine month periods of fiscal 2018 was 24.9%2019 were 22.1% and (39.3)%16.7%, respectively, compared to 29.9%24.9% and 28.6%(39.3)% in the prior year periods, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate in bothduring the three and nine month periodsperiod of fiscal 2018 is2019 was driven by prior year one-time benefits resulting from a reduction in the U.S. federal statutory rate from 35% to 21% and the re-measurement of the Company’sour deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act." AnA benefit of approximately $183.8 million tax benefit was recorded to the (benefit) provision for income taxes for the nine months ended June 29,month period of fiscal 2018 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of U.S. tax reform, (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), the impact of certain permanently reinvested foreign earnings and certain other tax adjustments. The

decrease is partially offset by a $7.4 million Canadian withholding effective tax incurred onrate for the post-acquisition integration of AmeriPride, which was recognized during the second quarternine month period of fiscal 2018.2019 also includes a tax benefit of approximately $10.4 million, mainly as a result of U.S. tax reform (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) and a $17 million tax provision related to the sale of HCT (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

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 29, 2018,28, 2019, we had $166.0$220.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $932.4$891.0 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 29, 2018,28, 2019, there was approximately $997.6$942.9 million of outstanding foreign currency borrowings.
We believe that our cash generated from operations, 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. 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, includingconditions.
On February 5, 2019, we announced that we would invest $90 million in our workforce through targeted wage adjustments, retirement contributions and special recognition awards, as well as employee training programs and scholarships. We expect to fund the impactsmajority of tax reform.these investments during fiscal 2019 of which $62.5 million was paid during the nine month period of fiscal 2019 in special recognition awards and employee training programs.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
During the nine month period of fiscal 2018, theThe increase in net income and non-cash charges resulted from higher operating income discussed above. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the change in operating assets and liabilities ($345.395.2 million). The change in operating assets and liabilities compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the following:

Accrued expenses were less of a greater use of cash primarily due to the timing of payments for client advances and the timing of one-time payments made during the nine month period of fiscal 2018 for certain liabilities assumed related to the Avendra and AmeriPride acquisitions;acquisitions and from lower accrued payroll and related expenses, partially offset by the timing of insurance payments;
Prepayments were less of a sourcegreater use of cash due to the timing of prepayments made related to interest, insurance premiumsincome tax payments;
Accounts payable were a greater use of cash compared to the prior year period due to the timing of disbursements;
Inventories were a greater use of cash due to new business within our Uniform segment; and taxes;
Accounts receivable were less of a greater use of cash due to the timing of collections and sales growth;
Inventories were a greater use of cash due to new business in our Uniform segment; and
Accounts payable were a greater use of cash due to the timing of disbursements.
During the nine month period of fiscal 2018,2019, we paid approximately $62.5 million of special recognition awards and employee training costs funded by benefits from U.S. tax reform. The Company also received gross proceeds of approximately $18.9$14.6 million related to our casualty insurance program from our loss experience being favorable related to a prior year.year during the nine month period of fiscal 2019.

These client payments were approximately $30.2 million during the nine months ended June 28, 2019.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
The increasedecrease in net cash flows used in investing activities between periodsduring the nine month period of fiscal 2019 compared to the nine month period of fiscal 2018 relates primarily to a higher levelthe proceeds from the sale of Healthcare Technologies in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and lower levels of capital expenditures and spending for acquisitions mainly AmeriPride and Avendra (see Note 2for the nine month period of fiscal 2019 compared to the condensed consolidated financial statements)spending for Avendra and higher spending on client contract investments and capital expenditures.AmeriPride in the nine month period of fiscal 2018. The "Other investing activities" includes $16.2 million of proceeds relating to the recovery of our investment (possessory interest) at one of the NPS sites within our Sports, Leisure & Corrections sector.

During the nine month period of fiscal 2018, we completed a repurchase of 0.6 million shares of our common stock for $24.4 million. 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. We do not currently expect to repurchase any additional shares during fiscal 2018.

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 29, 2018,28, 2019, we were in compliance with these covenants.
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 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. ("ASI") 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.

Ratios
Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio(1)
5.125x 2.522.08
Interest Coverage Ratio (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio)(2)
2.000x 4.664.89

(1)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 5.125x. Consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien is defined in the Credit Agreement as total indebtedness consisting of debt for borrowed money, capital leases, debt in respect of sale-leaseback transactions, disqualified and preferred stock and advances under the Receivables Facility 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 our Credit Agreement, which, if ASI's lenders under the Credit Agreement (other than the lenders in respect of ASI's U.S. Term Loan B, which lenders do not benefit from the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio covenant) 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 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. 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.Theinvestee. 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.

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 22, 2017.21, 2018. As described in such notes, we recognize salesrevenue in the period in which services are provided pursuantthe performance obligation is satisfied. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted the new accounting standard related to revenue recognition. See Notes 1 and 7 to the termscondensed consolidated financial statement for more information on the impact of our contractual relationships with our clients. Sales from direct marketing activities are recognized upon shipment.adoption. 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 22, 2017.21, 2018.
In preparing our financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that, among other things, affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, salesrevenue 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 information below summarizes our market risksrisk associated with debt obligations and other significant financial instruments as of June 29,28, 2019 has not materially changed from September 28, 2018 (see Note 5Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk" in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2018 filed with the SEC on November 21, 2018).

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. As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we completed our acquisitions of Avendra and AmeriPride on December 11, 2017 and January 19, 2018, respectively. As part of our post-closing integration activities, we are engaged in the process of assessing the internal controls of Avendra and AmeriPride. As permitted by interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, management has excluded the internal control over financial reporting of Avendra and AmeriPride from the evaluation of the Company’s effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 29, 2018. As set forth in more detail in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, total assets of Avendra and AmeriPride included in the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation of these acquisitions were $1,500.7 million and $1,197.6 million, respectively. 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. Other than these acquisitions, noNo change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company's third quarter of fiscal 20182019 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.operations as of June 28, 2019.
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 those brought by clients, consumers, employees, government entities and third parties under, among others, 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.
