FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS As indicated previously, this report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc. (the "Company") cautions readers that the following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's actual results of operations. The factors set forth below do not constitute all factors which investors should consider prior to making an investment decision with respect to the Company's securities. Further, investors should not assume that the information contained below is complete or accurate in all respects following the date of this filing. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or any of the factors discussed below. LIMITED HISTORY. The Company has been operating less than three years as an independent, publicly owned, food service and facilities management company. The Company's management has limited experience in operating and managing a public company with indebtedness that exceeds its assets, or in integrating an acquisition the size of Sodexho North America. The Company also must take steps to assure that certain corporate services now being provided to the Company for limited periods of time by Marriott International eventually will be adequately performed by the Company or third-party contractors. Any or all of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS. The Company's indebtedness under its credit facility agreements is currently about $1.0 billion and bears interest at rates that float with certain indices. The size of the Company's indebtedness and the restrictive covenants, events of default and other restrictions on the Company's activities contained in its credit facility agreements may limit the Company's ability to respond to market conditions, satisfy capital expenditure requirements, meet contractual or financial obligations, incur additional debt, invest in information technology infrastructure or engage in other activities. As a result, significant losses or lower profits by the Company or certain activities by it could cause the Company to violate the terms of its credit facility agreements and thereby impair the Company's liquidity and limit its ability to raise additional capital. Moreover, a failure by the Company to make required debt payments could result in an acceleration of the Company's indebtedness, in which case the lenders thereunder would be entitled to exercise their remedies, including foreclosing on collateral. In view of the Company's substantial leverage, any new financings and refinancings by the Company of the Company's indebtedness, if available at all, may be at higher interest rates and may contain terms significantly less advantageous than would have been available to the Company absent the merger in March 1998. In addition, a rise in interest rates would cause the Company's payment obligations to increase, even though the Company has hedged a significant portion of its interest-rate risk. The occurrence of any of these events could restrict the Company's ability to finance its future operations, meet capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in the interest of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital, if needed, on acceptable terms, or that the occurrence of any of the foregoing events would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS. The Company's ability to continue the growth of its food service and facilities management business depends on whether it can continue to obtain new contracts, or renewals of existing contracts, on satisfactory terms. The majority of the food service and facilities management contracts of the Company are either based on fixed-price terms or terminable by clients on short notice (generally from 30 to 120 days), or both. Therefore, the Company's results of operations are dependent to a significant extent on its ability to estimate and control costs associated with the provision of services under these contracts. The Company's costs are subject to increases as a result of rising labor and supply costs, many of which are outside its control. In addition, the terms of the Company's operating contracts are influenced by contract terms offered by the Company's competitors, general economic conditions, and other factors. There can be no assurance that some or all of these factors will not adversely affect the Company's operating margins or its ability to enter into satisfactory future contracts, or that these factors would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. COMPETITION. The food service and facilities management industries are highly competitive. The Company competes in these industries with numerous other vendors of varying sizes, many of which have significant financial resources. The continued success of the Company will be dependent, in large part, upon its ability to compete in such areas as the quality of food and facilities management services, the nature and scope of specialized services, and upon the Company's ability to contain costs. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. A decline in international, national or regional economic conditions could result in reduced demand for the outsourcing of food and facilities management services and create pressure on the Company to enter into contractual arrangements less favorable than those currently in effect or under consideration. Accordingly, such a decline could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. Also, low levels of unemployment, or other factors, could cause labor costs to increase and could cause the Company to have unfilled positions that could impair its service levels. This could result in increased costs incurred by the Company, some of which may not be recoverable from clients and could impair the retention of existing clients. LIMITED GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS. The Company is not currently expected to expand its international presence beyond Canada. The Company's licensing arrangements with Marriott International and Sodexho to use the names "Marriott" and "Sodexho" cover only the U.S. and Canada. As a practical matter, since the Company will be allowed to use its corporate name only in the U.S. and Canada, and since Sodexho controls or has significant interests in companies competing in other countries in the food service and facilities management sector, it is unlikely that the Company will engage in significant operations outside the U.S. and Canada. As a result, the Company will be more susceptible to a downturn in the U.S. and Canadian economies than a company that is actively engaged in various other markets. RELATIONSHIP WITH SODEXHO. As part of the merger in March 1998, the Company and Sodexho entered into certain arrangements under which Sodexho provides the Company with a variety of consulting and advisory services and other assistance and has guaranteed a portion of the Company's indebtedness. Sodexho also has licensed to the Company the use of the name "Sodexho." These arrangements may have the effect of causing the Company to be reliant to a substantial degree on its relationship with Sodexho. Therefore, any issues which may adversely impact Sodexho's image could negatively impact the Company as well. In addition, each of these arrangements has a finite term, and the failure to renew any such arrangements on comparable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. This relationship may also require the Company's management to focus on issues arising from cultural and geographic differences, rather than on the strategic initiatives specifically designated for the North American marketplace. Adverse effects might also result in the event Sodexho were to encounter financial or other difficulties that could prevent it from providing such services or assistance to the Company. SEASONAL NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS. The food service and facilities management business has been characterized historically by seasonal fluctuations in overall demand for services, particularly in the education sector where sales are stronger during the academic year. There can be no assurance that these fluctuations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS. As of December 1, 2000, Sodexho, the Company's largest stockholder, beneficially owned approximately 48% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Sodexho has agreed pursuant to a tax sharing and indemnification agreement entered into among the Company, Marriott International and Sodexho not to acquire 50% or more of the Company's common stock for three years after the merger in March 1998, or through March 27, 2001. The certificate of incorporation of the Company generally provides that no person may acquire 50% or more of the Company's common stock until the end of such period. Consequently, no change in control of the Company is expected to occur before March 27, 2001. In addition, because Sodexho owns a large percentage of the Company's common stock it may be able to exercise significant influence over many matters requiring stockholder approval. Pursuant to a stockholder agreement with the Company, Sodexho also has the right to nominate three members of the Company's Board. As a result, Sodexho's relationship with the Company may have the effect of, among other things, preventing a change in control of the Company at any time without the agreement of Sodexho. USE OF TRADENAMES. Marriott International has licensed the "Marriott" name to the Company in certain limited respects for a period of four years after the merger in March 1998, or through March 27, 2002. The Company will not have the right to use the "Marriott" name after the expiration of the four-year period. In addition, Sodexho has licensed the "Sodexho" name to the Company under a royalty agreement having a ten-year term. The "Sodexho" name, which has been used in the food service and facilities management business in North America for the four years prior to the merger in March 1998, is not as well known in that market as the "Marriott" name. The Company may have to make additional expenditures to position its new name in the marketplace and cannot predict with certainty the extent to which the substitution of a new name may adversely affect its retention and acquisition of clients. Further, to the extent that the Company fails to perform its obligations under its license agreements with Marriott International or Sodexho, each of Marriott International and Sodexho could successfully prevent the Company from using their respective names, which could adversely affect the Company's retention and acquisition of clients and its financial performance. DIVIDEND POLICY. Prior to the merger in March 1998, the Company paid regular quarterly dividends. On October 13, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend for fiscal year 1999 of $0.08 per common share, paid on December 10, 1999 to shareholders of record on November 22, 1999. In the future, the Company may pay dividends, subject to the restrictive covenants contained in the Company's credit facility agreements and other relevant considerations. In general, the restrictive covenants do not permit the Company to pay dividends to stockholders in an amount greater than 40 percent of the Company's net income, or 45 percent when the ratio of the Company's consolidated debt to EBITDA (as defined in the documentation for the credit facility agreements) is less than 4 but not less than 3. This restriction will no longer apply when such ratio is less than 3. The payment and amount of cash dividends on the Company's common stock will be subject to the sole discretion of the Company's Board, which will review the Company's dividend policy at such times as may be deemed appropriate. Payment of dividends on the Company's common stock will depend upon the Company's financial position, capital requirements, profitability and such other factors as the Company's Board deems relevant. FLUCTUATING PRICES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK. The Company's common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange and certain other U.S. exchanges. Prices at which the Company's common stock trades fluctuate significantly and could be influenced by many factors, including, among others, the continuing depth and liquidity of the market for the Company's common stock, investor perception of the Company, the Company's dividend policy and general economic and market conditions. 10-Q 2 q1_2001ee.txt FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2001 FORM 10-Q =============================================================================== UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549 FORM 10-Q [X] QUARTERLY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED DECEMBER 1, 2000 OR [ ] TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 COMMISSION FILE NO. 1-12188 SODEXHO MARRIOTT SERVICES, INC. ------------------------------------------------------ (Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) DELAWARE 52-0936594 --------------------------------- ------------------- (State or other jurisdiction (I.R.S.

See notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 SODEXHO MARRIOTT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 1, 2000. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 1, 2000 and September 1, 2000, and the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended December 1, 2000 and December 3, 1999. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance. All material intercompany transactions and balances between Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Certain amounts previously presented have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE Revenues are recognized at the time services are rendered or products are delivered. Revenues include reimbursements for food and payroll costs incurred on behalf of customers under contracts in which the Company manages food service programs for a fee. Losses, if any, are provided for at the time management determines the cost will ultimately exceed contract revenue for the duration of the contract. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $23 million at December 1, 2000, unchanged from September 1, 2000. Concentration of credit risk within accounts receivable is limited because a large number of customers make up the Company's customer base, thus spreading risk associated with trade credit. In addition, the Company closely monitors its accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral and maintains reserves for potential uncollectible amounts, which, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management's expectations. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income, adjusted for interest expense related to convertible securities (after-tax), by the diluted weighted-average number of outstanding common shares, including the affect of the Company's employee incentive plans (including deferred stock) and the convertible subordinated debt securities. SEGMENT REPORTING Information from operating segments is derived from methods used by the Company's management to allocate resources and measure performance. For fiscal year reporting, the Company disclosed profit/loss, revenues and assets for each segment identified, including reconciliations of these items to consolidated totals. For interim reporting periods, the Company disclosed profit/loss and revenues for each segment (see Note 5). 6 SODEXHO MARRIOTT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (Unaudited) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ADOPTION OF STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 133 ("SFAS NO. 133") On September 2, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. In accordance with the provisions in SFAS No. 133, the Company has designated all of its interest-rate agreements as cash flow hedges. The Company has determined that these agreements are highly effective in offsetting the variable interest cash flows of the Company's debt portfolio. The agreements were recorded on the balance sheet at fair value in other long-term assets with the offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' deficit, net of tax. The transition adjustment from the adoption of SFAS No. 133, resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income of $15 million, net of taxes totaling $7 million. All agreements were considered highly effective. The Company does not anticipate any reclassifications to earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income over the next 12 months, with adjustments during the year related mostly to changes in the fair value of the related agreements. There were no net gains or losses recognized on derivatives that had previously been deferred, or as adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged items. Currently, the Company does not have any other financial contracts which contain embedded derivatives or fair value hedge relationships which would fall within the scope of SFAS No. 133. CASH FLOW HEDGES The Company's derivative and hedging strategy is aimed at managing interest-rate risk and prohibits the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes. Currently, the Company uses interest-rate agreements (the "agreements") to carry out its interest-rate risk management strategy. These agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date. The notional amount and interest payments in these agreements match the cash flows of assets and/or liabilities. The notional balances of these agreements represent a balance used to calculate the exchange of cash flows and are not assets or liabilities of the Company. Accordingly, any market risk or opportunity associated with these agreements is offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt. The Company's credit risk related to interest-rate agreements is considered low because they are entered into with only strong creditworthy counterparties and are generally settled on a net basis. The difference paid or received on interest-rate agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. See Note 2 for the notional amounts, related rates, maturities, and fair values of these agreements. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Reflective of the Company's current derivative and hedging strategy, derivative contracts entered into are designated as a cash flow hedges; A HEDGE OF A FORECASTED TRANSACTION OR THE VARIABILITY OF CASH FLOWS TO BE RECEIVED OR PAID RELATED TO A RECOGNIZED ASSET OR LIABILITY. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these highly effective agreements are recorded in other accumulated comprehensive income, until earnings are affected by the variability of their cash flows (e.g., when periodic settlements on a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income for the Company includes activity in foreign exchange translation adjustments and cash flow hedges under the adoption of SFAS No. 133. Items identified as comprehensive income are reported, under separate captions, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Deficit. Results for the Canada division are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the applicable balance sheet date, and the resulting translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders' deficit as accumulated other comprehensive income. 7 SODEXHO MARRIOTT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (Unaudited) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, CONTINUED Total accumulated other comprehensive income included $2 million of gross foreign exchange translations gains, net of taxes totaling $1 million and $7 million of gross unrealized gains on the fair value of derivatives, net of taxes totaling $3 million, at December 1, 2000. Total accumulated other comprehensive income included gross foreign exchange translation gains totaling $3 million, net of taxes totaling $1 million at September 1, 2000. During the first quarter fiscal year 2001, total comprehensive income was comprised of $36 million in net income, $15 million for the gross cumulative effect of change in accounting method, net of taxes totaling $7 million, a $8 million decrease in fair value of derivatives, net of taxes totaling $4 million, and $1 million of foreign exchange translation losses, net of taxes.

Senior Secured Credit Facility - the senior secured credit facility consists of $235 million of revolving credit and an additional $500 million, six-year term loan facility. Interest is based on a bank prime rate, an amount over the Federal funds rate, or an amount over the London interbank offered rate for Eurodollar deposits ("LIBOR"), payable in arrears quarterly. At December 1, 2000, the Company is paying a rate of 6.90% on the term loan facility, adjusted for fee amortization and hedging costs. The senior secured credit facility is secured predominately by inventory, accounts receivable and the stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company. Up to $100 million of the $235 million revolving credit may be used to collateralize letters of credit, which totaled $21 million at December 1, 2000, and September 1, 2000. At December 1, 2000, $179 million of this facility was not used and was available to the Company, compared with $214 million at September 1, 2000. 8 SODEXHO MARRIOTT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (Unaudited) (2) DEBT, CONTINUED Senior Guaranteed Credit Facility - the senior guaranteed credit facility consists of a $620 million seven-year term loan. Interest is based on a bank prime rate, an amount over the Federal funds rate, or an amount over LIBOR, payable in arrears quarterly. At December 1, 2000, the Company is paying a rate of 6.91% on this facility, adjusted for fee amortization and hedging costs. This facility is guaranteed by Sodexho Alliance, S.A. ("Sodexho") for which the Company pays Sodexho an annual fee of 0.5% of the outstanding balance of the Senior Guaranteed Credit Facility, or $3 million pretax. The Company's debt agreements require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and stockholders' equity balances, and also include, among other things, limitations on additional indebtedness, certain acquisitions, dividend payments, pledging of assets, and other restrictions on operations related to cash flows. The Company met the financial covenants of the debt agreements as of December 1, 2000 and for the 13 weeks then ended. CASH FLOW HEDGES In accordance with the provisions in SFAS No. 133, the Company has designated all of its interest-rate agreements as cash flow hedges. The Company entered these agreements to convert its floating-rate debt to fixed rates. At December 1, 2000, the majority of the Company's debt was payable at variable rates of interest. In May 1998, the Company entered into several interest-rate agreements totaling $900 million in notional principal balances to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt. These agreements guarantee a fixed rate of interest over the life of the agreements. The Company is paying a fixed rate ranging between 5.70% and 5.90%, plus a residual margin that is not hedged relating to the underlying variable-rate debt. The aggregate fair value of the interest-rate agreements at December 1, 2000 was $7 million, pretax, compared with $15 million at the end of fiscal year 2000 (see Note 1). At December 1, 2000 and the 13-week period ended, the Company did not have any ineffective or deferred gain/loss adjustments related to its cash flow hedges. The weighted-average rate for the total debt portfolio, including the effect of the interest-rate agreements, was 6.98% at December 1, 2000. These agreements expire between May 2001 and February 2005. At December 1, 2000, the Company did not have any accrued interest receivable or payable to its counterparties and did not have any unamortized fees or premiums under these agreements. All of the Company's interest-rate agreements are for purposes other than trading. Details of these interest-rate agreements as of December 1, 2000 are as follows:

10 SODEXHO MARRIOTT SERVICES, INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (Unaudited) (4) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND INCENTIVE PLANS BENEFIT PLANS Employees meeting certain eligibility requirements can participate in the Company's savings and deferred compensation plans. The Company currently contributes generally 50% of the participants' contributions to these plans, limited to 6% of compensation, with certain exceptions. For the 13-week period ended December 1, 2000, expenses that related to these plans totaled approximately $4 million, unchanged from the 13-week period ended December 3, 1999. INCENTIVE PLANS The Company has two stock-based incentive plans-- the Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc. 1993 and 1998 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plans (the "1993 Plan" or the "1998 Plan"). The purpose of these plans is to promote and enhance the long-term growth of the Company by aligning the interests of the employees with the interests of the Company's shareholders. The 1993 Plan administers converted stock options prior to the merger in March 1998, with no new awards made under this plan. The 1998 Plan governs the issuance and administration of conversion awards and is also available for the issuance of new awards. These stock plans are administered by the Compensation Policy Committee as authorized by the Board of Directors. As part of the amendment of these plans, the Board of Directors has approved up to 10 million shares of common stock to be available under the 1998 Plan for converted options as well as new awards. In addition, on January 10, 2001, the shareholders approved the Board of Directors recommendation to increase the number of shares approved under the 1998 Plan from 10 million to 11.5 million. This increase ensures the Company's ability to continue to promote and enhance the long-term growth of the Company through rewarding and recognizing outstanding employee performance. Employee stock options may be granted to officers and key employees at exercise prices not less than the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. Most options under the stock option plans are exercisable in cumulative installments of one-fourth at the end of each of the first four years following the date of grant. A summary of the Company's stock option activity during the 13 weeks ended December 1, 2000, is presented below:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2001 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2000 The Company had net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 (13 weeks ended December 1, 2000) of $36 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share, compared with $28 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 (13 weeks ended December 3, 1999). Diluted average shares totaled 63.6 million for the current quarter compared with 63.7 million for the prior year's quarter. Total sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 were $1.36 billion, an increase of $71 million, or 6% over the $1.29 billion in total sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. All the divisions had solid growth performance, with particularly strong increases of 9% and 6% in the Schools and Education divisions, respectively. Excluding Corporate Services, this performance was the result of solid growth in sales at existing accounts and good retention in the prior year. Also, the Company's divisions continued to benefit from favorable outsourcing trends in the North American markets. The Corporate Services division had sales growth of 3% in the current quarter versus the prior year's quarter, due to lower account retention in the prior year and slower new sales in the later half of fiscal year 2000. This division's overall sales growth will continue to be challenged by the very competitive nature of this segment. Operating profit for the current quarter totaled $118 million, an increase of $15 million, or 14% compared with operating profit of $103 million for the first quarter of last year. Excluding Laundries/Other, which experienced some start-up related costs in the current quarter, operating profits increased across the remaining divisions, with 20%+ increases in the Education and Schools divisions, low double digits in Corporate Services, and a solid 8% in Canada. Last fiscal year, the Company experienced inefficiencies in several first year accounts in the Education and Schools divisions, negatively impacting operating profits for those divisions in fiscal year 2000. Beginning in fiscal year 2001, the Company implemented several initiatives to reduce the negative impact of opening new business in these divisions as well as changes in the under-performing accounts to improve their operating results. The results in these divisions for the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 have been strong; but, as fiscal year 2001 progresses, the Education and Schools divisions are expected to compare less favorably to the stronger operating profit results in these divisions in the latter part of fiscal year 2000. As with the trends in sales, the divisions mostly had strong growth in operating profits at existing accounts and the Corporate Services division benefited from their continued focus on labor costs, which improved slightly over the prior year's quarter. In addition, Corporate Services, Education and Schools are seeing continued improvement in their operating profit performance from ongoing procurement initiatives. In the Health Care division, continued stable labor costs and improvements from procurement initiatives were partially offset by some under-performance in a few larger clients. The Health Care segment continues to be a challenging and consolidating market segment with significant pressure to assist new and existing clients in meeting their demanding and changing fiscal requirements. The Health Care division continues to focus on opportunities to improve its under-performing accounts, in addition to offering additive services which bring value to clients and improve the operating results of this segment. Overall, management believes that the under-performing accounts will improve in the second half of the current fiscal year. This, along with other initiatives in place to improve the division's operating results, should result in the Health Care division's performance comparing more favorably for the full fiscal year 2001 versus the prior year. 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION, CONTINUED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED THE FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2001 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2000, CONTINUED Partially offsetting the operating profit growth for the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 was a $3 million increase in corporate expenses when compared to the last year's first quarter. Adjusting for Y2k costs in last year's quarter, corporate expenses increased an adjusted $5 million. Most of this increase was the result of positions unfilled in last year's first quarter which were filled in the latter half of fiscal year 2000 and into the current quarter, predominately in the Human Resources and Information Technology areas. Interest expense decreased $2 million or 10%, impacted by reduced levels of debt and improved working capital results that helped keep down the use of the Company's short-term credit facility (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below). The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 43.5%, down slightly from 44.0% in last year's first quarter. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company funds its capital needs from a combination of existing cash balances and cash from operations. The Company's large debt portfolio is a result of the Company's merger in March 1998. Net cash flows from operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 totaled a negative $3 million, an improvement of $16 million when compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. This favorable result was attributed to increases in net income and the continued positive impact of favorable working capital trends, which improved $12 million when comparing the current quarter with the prior year's quarter. The Company continues to focus on increasing collection efforts in its accounts receivable portfolio and refinements to its vendor payment cycles. The Company achieved its $40 million cumulative synergy target for fiscal year 2000. The Company anticipates it will meet its overall objective established at the time of the March 1998 merger of $60 million in cumulative synergies by the middle of fiscal year 2001. The Company's board of directors did not declare a dividend during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001. The Company may pay dividends in the future, subject to the restrictive covenants contained in the Company's credit facility agreements and other relevant considerations. The payment and amount of cash dividends on the Company's common stock will be subject to the sole discretion of the Company's Board, which will review the Company's dividend policy at such times as may be deemed appropriate. The Board will closely monitor the results of the Company's operations, capital requirements, and other considerations to determine the extent to which a dividend may be declared in future periods. In addition, the Company has undertaken an information systems strategy study to evaluate the current state of its information systems, and consider information technology options. Among the options under consideration is the adoption of certain elements of the technology platform adopted by Sodexho Alliance. At the most recent Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved an initial phase of the Company's information technology strategy, which has now moved from a strategic study to a phased-in implementation process. This phase includes the approval of a new accounting system in the Company's Financial Services Center located in Buffalo, New York, with an estimated cost of approximately $30 million over the next 24 months. Of this $30 million, approximately $26 million would be capitalized and the remaining balance would be recognized within the Company's operating expenses. The impact to fiscal year 2001 is not expected to be material to the income statement, with approximately $8 million anticipated to be disbursed within the current fiscal year. Management anticipates that additional details regarding the system, vendor selection and related implementation strategy will be 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION, CONTINUED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED available later in the fiscal year. Information regarding additional steps of the Company's overall information systems strategy will be made available as those stages are approved. Most recently, the Company began a study of a solution set for its payroll, benefits and human resources information systems, as the Company migrates from the current Marriott International payroll-related systems. Though the current agreement requires the Company to migrate off the Marriott International payroll infrastructure no later than fiscal year 2002, Marriott International and the Company are finalizing terms to extend this agreement beyond fiscal year 2002. This extension is anticipated to be finalized later in fiscal year 2001. This extension will provide the Company additional time to select the best payroll and benefit alternatives to meet the Company's and its client's needs. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS On September 2, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended ("SFAS No. 133"). In accordance with the provisions in SFAS No. 133, the Company has designated all of its interest-rate agreements as cash flow hedges. The Company has determined that these agreements are highly effective in offsetting the variable interest cash flows of the Company's debt portfolio. The agreements have been recorded on the balance sheet at fair value in other long-term assets with the offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' deficit, net of tax. The transition adjustment resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 133 at September 2, 2000, resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income of $15 million, net of taxes totaling $7 million. At December 1, 2000, all agreements were considered highly effective. The Company does not anticipate any reclassifications to earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income in fiscal year 2001, with adjustments during the year related mostly to changes in the fair value of the related agreements. There were no net gains or losses recognized on derivatives that had previously been deferred, or as adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged items. Currently, the Company does not have any other financial contracts which contain embedded derivatives or fair value hedge relationships which would fall within the scope of SFAS No. 133. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's earnings are not materially affected by changes in interest rates, due to the relatively low balances of borrowings at floating interest rates as well as notes receivable which earn a variable rate of interest. However, changes in interest rates also impact the fair value of the Company's debt, totaling $995 million at December 1, 2000. If interest rates increased by 100 basis points, the fair value of the Company's debt would have decreased by approximately $16 million, while a 100 basis point decrease in rates would have increased the fair value of the Company's debt by approximately $16 million, based on balances at December 1, 2000. 15 PART II OTHER INFORMATION AND SIGNATURES ITEM 1.
