Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 26, 2016, G&K Services, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2016, ended December 26, 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 the return on invested capital (ROIC) and the organic growth rate. ROIC is calculated using net operating income after tax, divided by the sum of total debt less cash, plus stockholders’ equity. The press release contains a table with the ROIC calculation. The company uses ROIC as a measure of the effectiveness of its use of capital. 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.

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.
