Open the filing on EDGAREVI Industries Reports Record Third Quarter Results
Record revenue and gross profit reflect continued enterprise growth and progress in operational optimization, customer engagement, and long-term scalability initiatives.
Miami, Florida - May 11, 2026 - EVI Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: EVI) announced today its operating results for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The Company also provided updates on its long-term growth strategy and ongoing operational optimization, process improvement, and enterprise-wide coordination initiatives intended to improve scalability, efficiency, customer experience, and long-term operating performance.
Since commencing the execution of its long-term growth strategy in 2016, EVI has evolved from a single-location business in Florida with 32 employees into a leading North American commercial laundry distribution and service enterprise encompassing 32 businesses and approximately 900 associates, including more than 200 sales professionals and over 425 service personnel. Through disciplined acquisitions, operational investment, and the continued expansion of its service and infrastructure capabilities, EVI has generated compounded annual growth rates of approximately 29% in revenue, 15% in net income, and 26% in adjusted EBITDA over such ten-year period. During this period, the Company has also focused on improving the quality and profitability of its revenue base, contributing to gross margin expansion from approximately 23% in fiscal 2019 to 32.5% and 31.5% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2026, respectively.
As EVI’s enterprise has expanded, management’s focus has increasingly shifted toward operational optimization across the enterprise. The Company has substantially completed the deployment of its ERP system, field service platform, and business intelligence capabilities, which management believes provide the operational visibility and data-driven insight necessary to support a new phase focused on process improvement, operational coordination, and enterprise-wide efficiency initiatives. Management aims to improve coordination both upstream with manufacturers and supply chain partners and downstream with customers in an effort to reduce operational redundancies, increase labor utilization, enhance customer responsiveness, improve inventory efficiency, and create additional opportunities to expand market share and repeat customer purchasing activity over time. Management believes these initiatives position EVI to improve operating leverage, profitability, and long-term cash flow generation as the enterprise continues to mature.
While revenues for the third fiscal quarter were adversely affected by disruptions associated with severe weather conditions and delays in customer facility readiness, delivery, and installation schedules, EVI nonetheless delivered record revenues for both the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2026, reflecting the Company’s expanded operating enterprise, contributions from acquired businesses, and continued market share gains. During the quarter, the Company also continued advancing operational modernization and process improvement initiatives focused on customer experience, coordination, working capital efficiency, and scalable infrastructure. Management believes these initiatives are strengthening EVI’s operating foundation and positioning the enterprise to improve long-term operating leverage, repeat customer revenue generation, and profitability.
Third Fiscal Quarter Performance
Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
- Revenue increased 8% to a record $101.1 million,
- Gross Profit increased 17% to a record $32.8 million, representing a record gross margin of 32.5%,
- Operating Income remained flat at $2.3 million,
- Net Income was $0.8 million compared to $1.0 million, and
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $5.6 million, or 5.5% of revenue.
Nine-Months Performance
Compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025
- Revenue increased 16% to a record $324.7 million,
- Gross Profit increased 21% to a record $102.2 million, representing a record gross margin of 31.5%,
- Operating Income increased 4% to $10.1 million,
- Net Income was $5.0 million compared to $5.4 million, and
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to a record $20.0 million, or 6.2% of revenue.
Revenue for the third fiscal quarter and nine-month period reached record levels, driven primarily by contributions from acquired businesses and supported by ongoing initiatives to expand market share, strengthen customer relationships, and enhance service capabilities across the enterprise. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.7 million compared to the second fiscal quarter, all of which was the result of a decrease in general and administrative expenses, notwithstanding the inclusion of one month of expenses associated with the acquisition of Belenky, Inc. Management believes these improvements reflect increasing operating discipline, process improvements, facility consolidation efforts, and technology-enabled coordination initiatives designed to improve scalability, efficiency, and long-term operating leverage across the enterprise.
Henry Nahmad, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Over the past decade, EVI has built a significantly larger and more capable enterprise through disciplined acquisitions, operational investment, and a long-term commitment to customer service. As our enterprise continues to mature, we believe we are entering a new phase focused on operational optimization, process improvement, and enterprise-wide coordination initiatives intended to improve scalability, efficiency, customer experience, and long-term operating performance.”
Mr. Nahmad continued, “While certain factors affected the pace at which revenue was fulfilled during the quarter, we continued to make encouraging progress strengthening the quality and economics of the enterprise. We believe our investments in technology, field service operations, business intelligence capabilities, inventory management, and operational coordination are positioning EVI to improve operating leverage, enhance customer engagement, expand repeat purchasing activity across our installed customer base, and generate increasing long-term value over time.”
Customer Experience, Field Service Technology and Modernization Initiatives
The Company continues to invest in operational modernization initiatives intended to improve the customer experience and strengthen operational coordination across the enterprise and the Company’s supply chain. As these technologies become more broadly deployed and utilized across the organization, management is increasingly focused on process improvement and operational execution intended to enhance efficiency, scalability, and customer engagement.
During the quarter, the Company continued expanding the use of its field service technologies and integrated analytics capabilities, which management believes are contributing to measurable operational improvements and stronger customer engagement. Total service appointments supported by the field service platform increased approximately 9% compared to the second fiscal quarter to more than 27,500 appointments across more than 10,600 customers, while technician productivity, measured by jobs completed per technician per day, improved 3%. Management believes EVI’s recurring customer relationships are an important component of the Company’s long-term growth opportunity. Over 75% of customers that purchased parts during the quarter had purchased from EVI within the last three years, which management believes demonstrates the recurring nature of many customer relationships, the importance of EVI’s service organization, and the value of the Company’s installed equipment knowledge.
Organic Growth and Recurring Revenue Opportunities
The Company continues to identify opportunities to create repeat customer revenue opportunities across its growing customer base. One example is Premier Chemical Solutions; a division developed within one of the Company’s 32 business units to serve customer demand for chemicals and detergents used in commercial laundry operations. Consistent with EVI’s entrepreneurial culture, local leadership identified the opportunity and organized dedicated management, sales, and service resources to support its growth.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, Premier Chemical Solutions increased chemical and detergent sales revenue by 49% compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The division has added approximately 12 new customer accounts per month during the fiscal year, while maintaining customer attrition below 1.0%. Management believes these results demonstrate EVI’s ability to leverage its customer relationships, installed equipment knowledge, service organization, and local market presence to expand higher-margin repeat purchasing activity with relatively limited incremental customer acquisition costs and capital investment.
Importantly, Premier Chemical Solutions currently operates within only one of EVI’s 32 business units, and management believes broader cross-selling opportunities may exist across the Company’s broader installed customer base.
Working Capital and Financial Strength
Inventory balances increased during the quarter, reflecting higher working capital investment associated with confirmed customer sales order contracts, including certain larger industrial projects anticipated to be delivered during the fourth fiscal quarter. Inventory balances also increased due in part to manufacturer price increases associated with rising costs and tariffs, as well as the Company’s decision to purchase certain equipment inventory in advance of anticipated pricing actions and customer delivery requirements. Across the Company’s four operating regions, excluding the Company’s master distributor operations, approximately 65% of equipment inventory is currently allocated to confirmed customer sales order contracts, which management believes demonstrates that a substantial portion of inventory is tied to identified customer demand and future revenue fulfillment. As part of the Company’s broader operational optimization efforts, management continues to focus on improving demand planning, inventory visibility, and coordination with OEM and supply chain partners in an effort to enhance procurement and fulfillment efficiency, improve working capital management, and support more consistent long-term operating cash flow generation. EVI continues to operate from a position of financial strength and flexibility, with a balance sheet and liquidity profile that management believes supports continued investment in technology, service capabilities, organic growth opportunities, working capital, and acquisition activity.
Buy and Build Growth Strategy
During the quarter, EVI completed the acquisition of Belenky, Inc., an Akron, Ohio-based distributor of commercial laundry products and provider of related installation and maintenance services. Belenky represents the 32 commercial laundry business to join the EVI family and further expands the Company’s presence in Ohio. Consistent with EVI’s entrepreneurial operating model, acquired businesses generally operate with local leadership and decision-making authority while benefiting from the Company’s capital resources, technology investments, operating infrastructure, and strategic support. EVI believes preserving the relationships, culture, and market expertise of acquired businesses is an important component of long-term value creation.
The Company continues to evaluate acquisition and investment opportunities in and around the commercial laundry industry. Management believes EVI’s reputation, long-term approach to enterprise building, operational experience, and credibility as a disciplined and trusted acquirer position the Company to continue pursuing attractive growth opportunities.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In this press release, EVI discloses the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDA, which EVI defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of stock-based compensation to net income, as shown in the attached statement of Condensed Consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Amortization of Stock-based Compensation. EVI considers adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings, and the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method of analyzing EVI’s results as reported under GAAP.
