ARAMARK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
ORGANIC GROWTH
(Unaudited)
(In thousands)
Management believes that presentation of organic sales growth in the fiscal 2004 and 2003 second quarter and six-month periods, as adjusted to eliminate the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, the forward shift in our fiscal calendar (fiscal 2003 was a 53 week year) 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 fiscal calendar shift adjustment is made since fiscal 2003 was a 53 week year, resulting in fiscal 2004 starting one week later than normal. This results in a lack of service day comparability in the Education sector when comparing quarterly operating results between fiscal years. Adjusting sales and estimated operating income for this difference in the fiscal calendar enhances comparability between the quarterly and year-to-date periods.
