Mr. Sintros continued, “I am grateful to our thousands of Team Partners for their unwavering dedication to serving our customers with excellence and for living our Core Values - Customer Focus, Respect for Others, and Commitment to Quality - every day.”
As previously announced on March 11, 2026, UniFirst and Cintas have entered into a definitive agreement under which Cintas will acquire UniFirst. Under the terms of the agreement, UniFirst shareholders will receive $155.00 in cash and 0.7720 shares of Cintas stock for each UniFirst share they own. On June 11, 2026, UniFirst shareholders approved the proposed merger at a special meeting of shareholders.
On June 11, 2026, UniFirst and Cintas each received a Second Request for additional information from the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") as part of its review of the proposed merger. The companies are cooperating with the FTC and continue to work through the regulatory review process. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of calendar 2026, subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions and receipt of required regulatory approvals.
Segment Reporting Results
Uniform & Facility Service Solutions
- Revenues increased 3.9% to $575.7 million compared to $554.3 million in the prior year period.
- Organic growth, which excludes the effect of acquisitions and fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, was 3.6%.
- New customer account acquisitions were solid during the quarter and customer retention rates continued to improve, building on the year-to-date progress that the Company has seen in these areas.
- Operating margin was 3.4% compared to 7.8% in the prior period and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.4% compared to 14.3% in the prior period.
- The Key Initiative and Transaction-related Costs were both recorded to this segment and decreased operating and Adjusted EBITDA margins in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 by 4.5% and 0.9%, respectively. Key Initiative costs in prior year period decreased both operating and Adjusted EBITDA margins by 0.2%.
- The segment's operating and Adjusted EBITDA margin comparison in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 benefited from lower merchandise costs as well as elevated expense in prior year due to advisory costs for a strategic matter and legal costs related to an employee matter. These benefits were offset by higher healthcare claims and fuel costs.
Other
- Revenues for the quarter increased 4.4% to $27.8 million compared to $26.7 million in the prior year period. The segment had strong growth in its European operations which was partially offset by the continued wind-down of a large refurbishment project and fewer reactor outages.
- Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $4.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
- This segment consists of the Company’s nuclear solutions. Given the cyclical and seasonal nature of the nuclear industry, this segment’s results are often affected by seasonality, the timing and duration of power reactor outages and project-based activities.
Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
- Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $168.9 million, and the Company had no long-term debt outstanding as of May 30, 2026.
- The Company did not repurchase any shares of its Common Stock in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.
- The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.365 per Common Stock share and $0.292 per Class B Common Stock on April 14, 2026.
As previously announced, due to the pending transaction with Cintas, UniFirst is no longer providing financial guidance or hosting quarterly conference calls regarding its financial results.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its consolidated financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial results in this press release, the Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for share-based compensation expense and other items impacting the comparability of the Company’s underlying operating performance between periods. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA for a period divided by revenue for the same period.
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of the Company and its segments to both management and investors. In addition, by excluding certain items, these non-GAAP financial measures enable management and investors to further evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company.
Supplemental reconciliations of the Company’s consolidated net income on a GAAP basis to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are presented in the following table. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are provided below. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Company does not allocate its provision for income taxes to its business segments and as a result, presents it in a separate column in the following tables.
