Aramark reported a significant increase in financial performance for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, with revenues reaching $5.06 billion, a 9.3% increase from $4.63 billion in the same period last year. For the nine months ending July 3, 2026, total revenue was $14.80 billion, up 9.9% from $13.46 billion in the prior year. The company's net income for the quarter was $97.83 million, a 36% increase compared to $71.95 million in the previous year, while net income for the nine-month period rose to $296.48 million from $239.63 million.
The growth in revenue was attributed to base business expansion and new client acquisitions, with foreign currency translation contributing positively to revenue figures. However, the company noted that the calendar shift related to the previous fiscal year's fifty-third week had a negative impact on operational service days, estimated at around 2% for the quarter. Cost of services provided also increased, reflecting higher food and personnel costs, which rose by 8.7% and 9.7% for the quarter and nine months, respectively.
Strategically, Aramark has focused on enhancing its service offerings and expanding its market presence. The company operates in two segments: Food and Support Services United States (FSS United States) and Food and Support Services International (FSS International). The FSS United States segment saw a revenue increase of 7.7% for the quarter, driven by strong performance in the Business & Industry and Sports, Leisure & Corrections sectors. Meanwhile, the FSS International segment experienced a 13.2% revenue increase, largely due to growth in the U.K., Spain, Germany, and Canada.
Operationally, Aramark's employee headcount has remained stable, with a focus on retaining talent amid rising labor costs. The company reported a total of 263.6 million shares outstanding as of July 3, 2026, with a share repurchase program in place that has seen the company buy back approximately 1.4 million shares for $53.6 million during the nine-month period. Looking ahead, Aramark anticipates continued growth driven by strategic initiatives and market expansion, although it remains cautious of potential economic volatility and inflationary pressures that could impact future performance.
