Cintas Corporation Announces
Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results

CINCINNATI, December 18, 2025 -- Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) today reported results for its fiscal 2026 second quarter ended November 30, 2025. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $2.80 billion compared to $2.56 billion in last year’s second quarter, an increase of 9.3%. Revenue growth in the quarter was positively impacted by 0.7% due to acquisitions. The organic revenue growth rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, which adjusts for the impacts of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, was 8.6%.

Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.41 billion compared to $1.28 billion in last year’s second quarter, an increase of 10.6%. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 50.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 49.8% in last year's second quarter, an increase of 60 basis points.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 10.9% to $655.7 million compared to $591.4 million in last year's second quarter. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 23.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 23.1% in last year's second quarter.

Net income was $495.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $448.5 million in last year's second quarter, an increase of 10.4%. The second quarter of fiscal 2026 effective tax rate was 21.2% compared to 20.7% in last year's second quarter. The tax rates in both quarters were impacted by certain discrete items, primarily the tax accounting impact for stock-based compensation. Second quarter of fiscal 2026 diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.21 compared to $1.09 in last year's second quarter, an increase of 11.0%.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and through December 17, 2025, Cintas purchased shares of Cintas common stock under our share buyback programs, for a total purchase price of $622.5 million. On December 15, 2025, Cintas paid an aggregate quarterly dividend of $180.7 million to shareholders. During the first six months of fiscal 2026, Cintas has returned $1.24 billion in capital to its shareholders in the form of share buybacks and dividends.

Todd M. Schneider, Cintas’ President and Chief Executive Officer, stated “We delivered another strong quarter, with record revenue driven by attractive growth across all our business segments, an all-time high operating margin and robust cash generation. These results reflect the disciplined execution of our strategy, the benefits of our on-going technology investments and the exceptional commitment of our employee-partners to serving our customers."

Mr. Schneider concluded, "As we look ahead to the rest of fiscal 2026, we are raising our full fiscal year financial guidance. We are raising our annual revenue expectations from a range of $11.06 billion to $11.18 billion to a range of $11.15 billion to $11.22 billion and raising our diluted EPS guidance from a range of $4.74 to $4.86 to a range of $4.81 to $4.88. We remain focused on operational excellence and executing our balanced capital allocation strategy. With our differentiated culture, industry-leading products and services, and world-class team, Cintas is well-positioned to deliver sustainable growth and long-term value creation for our shareholders, customers and all stakeholders."

Please note the following regarding the annual revenue guidance:
•Both fiscal year 2026 and fiscal year 2025 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.



Please note the following regarding the diluted EPS guidance:
•Fiscal year 2026 interest, net is expected to be approximately $104.0 million compared to $95.5 million in fiscal year 2025, primarily as a result of refinancing senior notes at a higher interest rate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, as well as higher variable rate interest expense from commercial paper as a result of buyback activity during fiscal 2026. Expected interest, net may change as a result of debt activity or issuance of commercial paper related to future share buybacks or acquisition activity.
•Fiscal year 2026 effective tax rate is expected to be 20.0%, which is the same as fiscal year 2025.
•Our diluted EPS guidance does not include the impact of future share buybacks or significant economic disruptions or downturn.

Please note the following regarding the third quarter of fiscal 2026:
•Cintas recognized a $15 million gain on the sale of land in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. That will not repeat in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 and will be a headwind when comparing the third quarter results year over year.

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 this additional non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is appropriate to enhance understanding of its past performance as well as prospects for future performance. A reconciliation of the difference between this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is shown in the table below.

Free cash flow $ 737,495  $ 710,754 

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.
