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.

Today, G&K Services issued a press release announcing this repurchase program, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
 
G&K Services plans to repurchase shares from time to time in open market, privately negotiated or other transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws.  The timing and the amount of the repurchases will be determined by the company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors.
 
The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.2 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.
