RELEASE

ARAMARK REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2003 SALES

AND EARNINGS PER SHARE GROWTH

PHILADELPHIA — Aug. 6, 2003 — ARAMARK Corporation (NYSE: RMK), a world leader in managed services, today reported sales from continuing operations of $2.34 billion for its third fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2003, a 10% increase from a year ago. Sales for the first nine months were $6.86 billion, an 11% increase over the prior year.

Third Quarter Results

ARAMARK’s net income for the quarter was $89.3 million, or $.45 per diluted share compared to $72.6 million or $.35 per share in the prior year. Income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2003 was $63.9 million, compared to $65.3 million in the third quarter of 2002. Income per share from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2003 was $.33, compared to $.32 last year. Excluding several unusual items from the third quarter of both 2003 and 2002 (described below), for comparison purposes, income per share from continuing operations increased 7% from $.29 to $.31. (a)

In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, ARAMARK completed the previously announced sale of ARAMARK Educational Resources (AER). Accordingly, AER is accounted for as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial schedules. Included in ARAMARK’s income from discontinued operations is a net gain of $23.6 million related to the sale of AER. ARAMARK received cash proceeds of approximately $250 million from the sale.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2003, ARAMARK pre-paid a portion of its outstanding debt, resulting in an extinguishment charge, net of tax, of $4.7 million. ARAMARK also reached a settlement of certain open tax years and reduced its provision for income taxes by approximately $8.4 million. These two items added $.02 to the 2003 third quarter earnings per share. In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, ARAMARK reported a divestiture gain of $.03 per diluted share. Excluding these items, for comparison purposes, income per share from continuing operations increased 7% to $.31 from $.29. (a)

Year To Date Results

Income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2003 was $160.1 million, compared to $170.3 million last year, which included the previously disclosed after tax gain of $24.4 million ($.12 per share) from the sale of ARAMARK’s interest in the Boston Red Sox baseball team and the $.03 per share divestiture gain described above. Income per share from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2003 was $.81, compared to $.85 last year. Excluding from 2003 and 2002 the per share effect of the above mentioned gains, for comparison purposes, income per share from continuing operations increased 13% in 2003 from $.70 to $.79. (a)

Chairman’s Comments

Commenting specifically on the third quarter: “Our business and financial performance met our expectations,” said Joseph Neubauer, chairman and CEO of ARAMARK. “We are quite pleased with our high client retention rates and see these as a source of positive momentum for future results. While some sectors of the economy are beginning to show positive signs, we have not seen a recovery in employment levels which impact several important facets of our business. However, we are particularly pleased with the strong organic growth we generated in our International, Healthcare and Education operations. The negative organic growth improved significantly in our U.S. Business Services group. While still below last year, profit margins in the Uniform Rental segment were improved from our first and second fiscal quarters. The expected third quarter softness in our Sports and Entertainment business did occur. The seasonal nature of that business accentuated the impact of that softness on our operating results in the third quarter and we expect it to continue in our fourth quarter.”

Food and Support Services

In ARAMARK’s Food and Support Services — U.S. segment, third quarter sales of $1.62 billion increased 9% from a year ago. Organic sales growth, which excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures, was approximately 2%. Segment operating income for the current quarter was down 1%, to $85.9 million, due principally to the softness in the Sports and Entertainment business and the impact of Business Interruption insurance proceeds received in the third quarter of 2002.

Sales for the Food and Support Services — International segment for the quarter of $363 million increased 21% from last year’s third quarter, aided by a weaker U.S. dollar. Organic sales growth, which excludes the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and currency translation, was 5% due to good performance in ARAMARK’s U.K. and Spanish operations. Segment operating income of $16.2 million increased by 37% over the same quarter last year. Excluding the effect of currency translation, the increase was 19%.

Uniform and Career Apparel

In ARAMARK’s Uniform and Career Apparel — Rental segment, sales were $254 million, an increase of 1% versus the prior year. Operating income of $28.9 million was down about 4% from the prior year quarter. Net new sales growth, solid client retention rates and modest price increases were offset by continued contraction in base business and higher energy and employee benefit costs. Profit margins improved from those recorded earlier this year, as the effects of on-going cost reduction initiatives were realized.

In the Direct Marketing segment, sales increased 2% to $101 million from the same quarter last year. Softness in demand for purchased work clothing was offset by the benefit from a small acquisition made last year. Operating income increased 9% to $4.2 million principally due to a higher margin sales mix and the impact of the acquisition.

2003 Financial Guidance

Mr. Neubauer concluded, “We continue to expect fiscal year 2003 sales from continuing operations of $9.2 to $9.4 billion. It is our expectation that full year diluted earnings per share from continuing operations will be in the range of $1.26 to $1.30. This is consistent with the guidance previously provided with the earnings per share range increased by 2 cents from the net effect of the third quarter debt tender and income tax adjustment. Because our fourth fiscal quarter contains an extra week, there will be 53 weeks in 2003’s reported results. Fiscal 2004 will be a 52 week year.”

“Our strong performance in the face of a variety of challenges this year underscores the fundamental strength and stability of our outsourced services business model. ARAMARK continues to generate strong cash flows, which we are putting to work for the benefit of shareholders through continued reinvestment in our businesses, share repurchases, debt reduction and the pursuit of value-added acquisitions. Looking ahead, we believe we are poised to drive organic growth at a faster pace as large organizations around the world increasingly outsource non-core functions and as our ‘Mission One’ strategic marketing initiatives help us capitalize on those emerging global opportunities.”

In conjunction with its third quarter earnings release, ARAMARK will discuss its results in a conference call broadcast live over the Internet on Aug. 6, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. Interested parties are invited to log on to www.aramark.com to listen to this webcast. A recording of the conference call will be available on that website. Previously undisclosed material financial information relating to a completed fiscal period, as well as any reconciliations for non-GAAP disclosures, that are disclosed in the conference call will be available on the Investor Relations section of ARAMARK’s website at www.aramark.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor from civil litigation for forward-looking statements that reflect our current views as to future events and financial performance with respect to our operations. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.

They use words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in conjunction with a discussion of future operating or financial performance.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements regarding such matters are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.

Factors that might cause such a difference include: unfavorable economic conditions, including ramifications of any future terrorist attacks; increased operating costs; shortages of qualified personnel; currency risks and other risks associated with international markets; risks associated with acquisitions, including acquisition integration costs; our ability to integrate and derive the expected benefits from recent acquisitions; competition; decline in attendance at client facilities; unpredictability of sales and expenses due to contract terms and terminations; high leverage; claims relating to the provision of food services; costs of compliance with governmental regulations; liability associated with non-compliance with governmental regulations, including regulations pertaining to food services and the environment; and seasonality.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

FOOD AND SUPPORT SERVICES - INTERNATIONAL SEGMENT RESULTS -

ADJUSTED FOR CURRENCY TRANSLATION

(Unaudited)

(In Thousands)

The impact of currency translation has been excluded from the comparison of quarterly results to enhance comparability in the Food and Support Services—International Segment by identifying the portion of the change in sales and operating income related to changes in foreign currency, which provides a comparison of results on a constant currency basis. Similarly, the impact of currency translation has been excluded from the comparison of consolidated quarterly sales.
