ARAMARK Reports Record Sales for Fiscal 2004; Full-Year Sales Increased 8 Percent to $10.2...
PHILADELPHIA -- ARAMARK Corporation (NYSE:RMK), a world leader in managed services, today reported sales of $2.6 billion for its fourth quarter, an increase of 1 percent over the fourth quarter of 2003, which contained one extra week of operations. Organic sales growth for the quarter was 5 percent.
For the fourth quarter, net income was $84.6 million compared to $105.3 million in the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $0.44, which included a $0.03 per share charge associated with the management change that was announced in September. This compares to $0.54 recorded in the 2003 fourth quarter. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2003 include insurance proceeds related to a World Trade Center settlement and a write-down of the Company's periodicals distribution investment. After adjusting for these items, net income was $92.2 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.47 for the 2003 fourth quarter, which included the extra week. The Company estimates the extra week added approximately 8 percent to sales and income for the quarter.
Chief Executive Officer's Comments
"I am very proud that we have achieved two important goals in 2004: exceeding $10 billion in sales and doubling our organic sales growth to 6 percent. It's clear that our Mission One initiative is working," said Joseph Neubauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ARAMARK. "We continued to generate strong cash flow which enabled our Board of Directors to increase the quarterly dividend on our common stock by 10 percent and our share repurchase authorization by an additional $200 million. I am pleased with our performance, and I look forward to our continued success in 2005."
Full Year Results
ARAMARK reported sales of $10.2 billion for fiscal 2004, up 8 percent on an as-reported basis and 6 percent organically from 2003. Income from continuing operations for the full year was $263.1 million compared to $265.4 million in the prior year period, which included an extra week of operations. Diluted earnings per share were $1.36 compared to the $1.34 per share reported last year. Adjusting both years for the items described above, and the previously disclosed 2003 third quarter non-operating items, earnings per share increased 10% in 2004.
Food and Support Services
In ARAMARK's Food and Support Services - U.S. segment, fourth quarter sales of $1.8 billion were down 2 percent due to the extra week in the same period last year but up 6 percent organically. Segment operating income of $136 million was about equal to the prior year after eliminating the $32 million of insurance proceeds from the reported $167 million in 2003, which had one extra week of operations.
Sales for the Food and Support Services - International segment of $463 million were up 25 percent from the 2003 fourth quarter. Organic sales growth for the segment was 3 percent. The impact of changes in currency translation rates increased reported sales by approximately 10 percentage points. Operating income in this segment decreased to $8 million as increased operating income in most international operations was more than offset by a decrease in U.K. results.
Uniform and Career Apparel
In ARAMARK's Uniform and Career Apparel - Rental segment, sales of $264 million for the fourth quarter were down 3 percent on an as-reported basis and up 4 percent organically. This was the fourth consecutive quarter of improved organic growth and the highest since 2001. Operating income of $31.1 million was about equal to the prior year period, which had one extra week of operations.
In ARAMARK's Direct Marketing segment, fourth quarter sales decreased 12 percent to $100 million from the prior year's quarter. Organic growth was negative 3 percent. Operating income declined to $1.5 million, due principally to lower sales and profits at Galls.
2005 Financial Guidance
Full year and first quarter guidance are before consideration of the impact of the National Hockey League (NHL) lockout. ARAMARK anticipates full year sales of between $10.7 billion and $11.0 billion, driven by organic growth in the range of 5 to 7 percent. ARAMARK is targeting 5 to 7 percent organic growth in its worldwide Food and Support Services business and 2 to 4 percent organic growth in its combined uniforms business. Diluted earnings per share for 2005 are expected to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.60. First quarter 2005 sales are anticipated to be between $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion and diluted earnings per share to be between $0.36 and $0.38. It is estimated that a continuation of the NHL lockout for the full season would reduce earnings per share by $0.02 for each of the first and second quarters.

ORGANIC GROWTH

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Management believes that presentation of organic sales growth in the
fiscal 2004 and 2003 fourth quarter and fiscal year periods, as
adjusted to eliminate the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, the
effect of the 53rd week in fiscal 2003 and the impact of currency
translation, provides useful information to investors because it
enhances comparability between the current year and prior year
reporting periods. Elimination of the currency translation effect
provides constant currency comparisons without the distortion of
currency rate fluctuations. The 53rd week adjustment is made to
enhance comparability since fiscal 2003 was a 53 week year, including
one week more than a normal fiscal period. The consolidated full year
2004 sales have also been adjusted to eliminate the lack of service
day comparability in the Education sector which resulted from fiscal
2004 starting one week later than a normal fiscal year.

Management believes that presentation of organic sales growth, as
adjusted to eliminate the effect of acquisitions, divestitures, the

information to investors because it enables them to assess the
performance of Company operations that were subject to the stewardship
of Company management during the entirety of the comparative financial
periods. The elimination of the 53rd week enhances comparability
because it results in the comparative periods having an equal length.
Moreover, the exclusion of the impact of currency translation enables
investors to compare management's performance without the impact of

to purchase approximately $94.3 million of its 6.75% Guaranteed Notes
due August 1, 2004, and retired a $45 million term loan due March
2005. These two transactions resulted in an extinguishment charge of
$7.7 million ($4.7 million net of tax). Additionally, in the third
quarter of fiscal 2003, ARAMARK reduced the provision for income
taxes, based on the settlement of certain open tax years, by
approximately $8.4 million. The fiscal 2003 fourth quarter includes
approximately $32.0 million ($19.7 million net of tax) of business
interruption proceeds from the final settlement of the Company's
September 11, 2001 claim. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003,
ARAMARK reached agreement for the sale of its 15% interest in a
previously divested periodicals distribution business to the majority
shareholder, and wrote down this investment to the expected
recoverable amount. The resulting pre-tax charge of $10.7 million
($6.6 million net of tax) is included in "Other (income) expense."
These items have been excluded from the comparisons of income from
continuing operations and earnings per share to enhance comparability
due to the size and unusual nature of these items.
