EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of stock awards.

On September 30, 2023, the Company separated from Aramark. As referenced in Note 1. "Nature of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", the Separation resulted in the initial issuance of approximately 131.2 million shares of Vestis common stock. The outstanding shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the fiscal years ended October 3, 2025, September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, include the number of Vestis common shares issued upon completion of the Separation.
