Cintas Corporation Announces
Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

CINCINNATI, July 17, 2025 -- Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) today reported results for its fiscal 2025 fourth quarter ended May 31, 2025. Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 increased to $2.67 billion compared to $2.47 billion in last year’s fourth quarter, an increase of 8.0%. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was negatively impacted by one less workday compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. On a same workday basis, revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was 9.6%. The organic revenue growth rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which adjusts for the impacts of acquisitions, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and workday differences, was 9.0%.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 increased to $1.33 billion compared to $1.22 billion in last year’s fourth quarter, an increase of 9.1%. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 49.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 49.2% in last year's fourth quarter, an increase of 50 basis points.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 9.1% to $597.5 million compared to $547.6 million in last year's fourth quarter. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 22.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 22.2% in last year's fourth quarter.

Net income increased to $448.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $414.3 million in last year's fourth quarter, an increase of 8.2%. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 effective tax rate was 22.1% compared to 21.4% in last year's fourth quarter. The tax rates in both quarters were impacted by certain discrete items, primarily the tax accounting impact for stock-based compensation. Fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.09 compared to $1.00 in last year's fourth quarter, an increase of 9.0%. The diluted EPS in each period is reflective of the impact of the four-for-one split of Cintas' common stock on September 11, 2024 (the Stock Split).

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, revenue increased to $10.34 billion compared to $9.60 billion for fiscal 2024, an increase of 7.7%. Fiscal 2025 was negatively impacted by two less workdays compared to fiscal 2024. On a same workday basis, revenue for fiscal 2025 increased 8.6%. The organic revenue growth rate for fiscal 2025 was 8.0%. Operating income for fiscal 2025 increased to $2.36 billion compared to $2.07 billion for fiscal 2024, an increase of 14.1%. Operating income as a percent of revenue was 22.8% in fiscal 2025 compared to 21.6% in fiscal 2024. Diluted EPS for fiscal 2025 was $4.40 compared to $3.79 in fiscal 2024, an increase of 16.1%. The diluted EPS in each period is reflective of the impact of the Stock Split.

Cash flow from operating activities increased to $2.17 billion in fiscal 2025 compared to $2.07 billion in fiscal 2024. Cintas spent $408.9 million on capital expenditures in fiscal 2025, which is 4.0% as a percentage of revenue. Cintas acquired businesses for a total of $232.9 million in fiscal 2025. During fiscal 2025, Cintas paid cash dividends of $611.6 million, an increase of 15.2% over fiscal 2024. During fiscal 2025, under its authorized share buyback program, Cintas purchased 3.8 million shares of Cintas common stock at an average price of $179.07 per share, for a total purchase price of $679.3 million.

Todd M. Schneider, Cintas’ President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our fourth quarter and full year results underscore the enduring strength of the Cintas value proposition. We achieved strong organic revenue growth and set all-time highs in gross margin and operating margin, driven by strategic investments in the business and the unwavering dedication of our employee-partners. By staying focused on operational excellence and making thoughtful investments, we continue to position Cintas for long-term success while returning capital to shareholders.

Mr. Schneider concluded, "As we enter fiscal 2026, we remain focused on delivering unmatched service to our customers, leveraging our distinctive culture and generating sustainable, long-term results for all our stakeholders." For fiscal 2026, revenue is expected to be in the range of $11.00 billion to $11.15 billion, and diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $4.71 to $4.85.



Please note the following regarding guidance:
•Both fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2026 have the same number of workdays for the year and by quarter.
•Guidance does not assume any future acquisitions.
•Guidance assumes a constant foreign currency exchange rate.
•Fiscal year 2026 interest, net is expected to be approximately $98.0 million.
•Fiscal year 2026 effective tax rate is expected to be 20.0%, which is the same as fiscal year 2025.
•Our diluted EPS guidance includes no future share buybacks or significant economic disruptions or downturn.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. To supplement its consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company provides these additional non-GAAP financial measures of free cash flow and organic revenue growth. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate to enhance understanding of its past performance as well as prospects for future performance. A reconciliation of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below.

Management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company. Management believes that free cash flow is useful to investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue, improve and grow business operations.
