Click here to listen to the Company's recorded commentary. In 2016, EVI commenced the execution of a long-term growth strategy to build the undisputed leader in and around the commercial laundry industry. Since 2016, the Company has grown from one business operating from a single location in the state of Florida with thirty-one employees, including ten sales professionals and four service technicians, to today encompassing twenty-nine businesses employing nearly 800 associates, including over 190 sales professionals and over 400 service personnel. The thoughtful execution of the Company's long-term growth strategy has resulted in a compounded annual growth rate in revenue, net income, and adjusted EBITDA of 32%, 20%, and 30%, respectively, and has earned the Company a reputation as the leader in the North American commercial laundry distribution and service industry. Henry M. Nahmad, EVI's Chairman and CEO, commented: "Record operating performance in all key financial metrics is a testament to the well-synchronized efforts of our over 750 associates dedicated to serving our customers while executing on a series of initiatives in pursuit of our long-term performance goals. Our confidence in the long-term possibilities for our Company and our ability to achieve our performance goals is derived from early successes combined with financial strength and wherewithal, our reputation as a knowledgeable and high-quality buyer and builder of businesses, the expected future impact of promising technologies, and leadership team invested in guiding the Company into the future." Fiscal First Quarter Highlights (compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024) § Revenue increased 6% to record $93.6 million § Gross profit increased 12% to a record $28.9 million § Gross margin increased to a record 30.8% compared to 29.2% § Operating income was a record $5.0 million compared to $2.6 million § Net income increased 152% to a record $3.2 million, or 3.5%, compared to $1.3 million, or 1.5% § Adjusted EBITDA was a record $7.6 million, or a record 8.1%, compared to $6.0 million, or 6.8% Achievements During the Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2024 § Completed one acquisition adding sales and service expertise to the Company's Southeast Group § New confirmed customer sales order contracts exceeded the value of those fulfilled during the quarter § Implemented the Company's field service technology at additional business units in two regional groups § Declared a $4.6 million special cash dividend, the largest dividend in EVI's history § Sustained a strong balance sheet despite the dividend and investments in working capital and technologies Acquisitions During the first fiscal quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of Lakeland, Florida based Laundry Pro of Florida, a distributor of commercial laundry products and a provider of related installation and maintenance services. In addition, following the completion of the first fiscal quarter, on November 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Jeffersonville, Indiana based O'Dell Equipment and Supply, another distributor of commercial laundry products and a provider of related installation and maintenance services. The Company believes that the acquired businesses and their customers will benefit from various resources available to drive growth, profitability, and improve the customer value proposition. Mr. Nahmad commented: "A cornerstone of our long-term growth strategy is the acquisition of long-standing, often family-owned, businesses. Since 2016, we have acquired twenty-eight businesses. Our strategy includes the preservation of the people, unique culture and legacies of the acquired businesses, with a goal of forming the single largest, most cohesive, and entrepreneurial organization in the North American commercial laundry distribution and service industry. Given our success, we believe that our entrepreneurial culture, growing technology advantage, strong financial position and other unique factors provide an attractive home for great businesses, and we are actively pursuing opportunities that meet our financial, strategic, and cultural criteria." Technology Investments In 2020, the Company commenced a comprehensive technology initiative to transform EVI into a modern, data-driven company. Since that time, EVI's technology group has grown significantly, various third-party technology professionals have been retained, and multiple technology initiatives were undertaken with a goal to accelerate sales and profit growth, increase the speed, convenience and efficiency in serving customers, extend our reach into new geographies and sales channels, and create scalable operating processes. During the first fiscal quarter, the Company's technology team successfully led efforts to consolidate business units into end-state enterprise resource planning systems, implemented EVI's field service technology at business units in certain regional groups, and launched the configuration and implementation of our planned e-commerce site. While the costs and expenses associated with these and other modernization initiatives adversely impacted EVI's financial performance in the near-term, the Company believes that these technological capabilities will be a catalyst to achieving its long-term growth and profitability goals. Operating Results First quarter revenue performance reflects steady fulfillment of customer sales orders from the Company's backlog and appropriately stocked inventory, installations in connection with equipment sales, the sale of parts and accessories, and the performance of maintenance and repair services. These factors contributed to a 6% increase in revenue as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In connection with such growth, gross profit increased 12% to a record $29 million and gross margin increased to a record 30.8%. Additionally, the Company benefited from initiatives undertaken to improve operating efficiencies, which resulted in a 92% increase in operating income from $2.6 million to a record $5.0 million, a 152% increase in net income from $1.3 million to a record $3.2 million, or 3.5% of revenue, and a 27% increase in adjusted EBITDA from $6.0 million to a record $7.6 million, or a record 8.1% of revenue. Mr. Nahmad commented: "We have undertaken various initiatives to drive growth and profitability, and to transform the technological infrastructure and capabilities of our Company. As a result of these initiatives, we are realizing steady growth in key operating performance metrics, including a greater level of operating leverage. As we continue our efforts to grow, implement best operating practices, and deploy advanced technologies, we expect to continue to achieve a greater level of operating performance." Cash Flow, Financial Strength, and Special Cash Dividend During the first fiscal quarter, operating activities provided cash of $0.2 million compared to $1.5 million of cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This $1.3 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in working capital, partially offset by an increase in net income. As a result, the Company's increase in net debt from $8.3 million at June 30, 2024 to $15.5 million at September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to cash paid in connection with business acquisition consummated during the quarter, as described above. Given the Company's growth and profitability prospects, historically solid cash flows, and strong balance sheet with over $100 million of available liquidity, on September 11, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.31 per share. The special cash dividend was paid on October 7, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 26, 2024. During October 2023, the Company paid a special cash dividend of $0.28 per share. EVI aims to uphold its philosophy of sharing cash flow through dividends while maintaining a conservative financial position. Future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and considered in light of certain factors, including investment opportunities, cash flow, general economic conditions and the Company's overall financial condition. EVI's Core Principles EVI upholds specific core values and principles for its business, including: § Invest and manage with a long-term perspective § Uphold financial discipline with a view towards ensuring financial strength and flexibility § Respect the entrepreneurs and management teams that join the EVI family § Operate each business as a local business and empower its leaders to make local decisions § Promote an entrepreneurial culture § Instill a growth mindset and culture of continuous improvement § Incentivize and reward performance with equity participation § Establish strong relationships with our OEM partners Earnings Call and Additional Information The Company has provided a pre-recorded earnings conference call, including a business update, which can be accessed under "Financial Info" in the "Investors" section of the Company's website at www.evi-ind.com or by visiting https://ir.evi-ind.com/message-from-the-ceo .

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 share-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of share-based compensation to net income, as shown in the attached statement of Condensed Consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Amortization of Share-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.
