ARAMARK Corporation projected its consolidated sales to grow 8% in fiscal year 2005 compared to 2004. However, this growth included an estimated $277 million in sales from recent acquisitions. Excluding the estimated acquisition sales, ARAMARK projected its organic, or underlying, sales growth to be 6% compared to the prior year. This organic growth calculation reflects an adjustment to remove the effect of acquisitions on the projected sales growth rate.
