Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The information in this Item is furnished to, but not filed with, the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") solely under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K,
"Results of Operations and Financial Condition."
On January 31, 2006, G&K Services, Inc. issued a press release announcing its
financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005. A copy of the
press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated
herein by reference. The press release contains certain non-GAAP financial
measures, including the organic industrial rental growth rate and organic direct
sale growth rate. The organic growth rates are calculated using industrial
rental and direct sale revenues, respectively, adjusted for foreign currency
exchange rate differences and revenues from newly acquired locations. Management
believes that by eliminating the impact of the U.S.-Canadian exchange rate and
the effects of the Company's recent business acquisitions, the organic growth
rates better reflect the growth of our existing industrial rental and direct
sale business and are therefore useful in analyzing the financial condition of
the Company and the results of its operations.
