Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
On August 13, 2015, G&K Services, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2015, ended June 27, 2015. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures which are rental organic growth rate and certain non-GAAP operating results which are reconciled to GAAP operating results. The organic growth rate is calculated using revenue, adjusted for foreign currency exchange rate differences, acquisitions, and divestitures. Management believes that organic growth is useful in analyzing the company’s overall financial condition and the results of its operations. Management believes that certain non-GAAP operating results, which exclude certain non-recurring items, provide a more meaningful measure on which to compare the company’s overall results of operations between periods.
The information in this Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
