EVI Industries Reports Record Results for the Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2026, Including Record Revenue, Gross Profit, and Operating Income

About this update from Evi Industries, Inc.

EVI Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: EVI) announced today its operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. The Company also provided updates related to its buy-and-build growth strategy, its operational optimization initiatives, and the establishment of its consumer garment care services division. Fiscal Year 2026 Results (compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025) Revenue increased 15% to a record $446.6 million, Gross Profit increased 19% to a record $140.7 million, or a record 31.5%, Operating Income increased 14% to a record $15.7 million, Net Income increased 3% to $7.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA 1 increased 16% to a record $29.1 million, or 6.5%, Operating cash flow was $20.6 million, and Net debt was $44.2 million at June 30, 2026, substantially unchanged. Fourth Quarter Results (compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025) Revenue increased 11% to a record $121.9 million, Gross Profit increased 13% to a record $38.5 million, or 31.6%, an 80-basis point improvement, Operating Income increased 37% to a record $5.6 million, Net Income increased 31% to $2.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA 1 increased 26% to a record $9.1 million, or 7.5%, a 100-basis point improvement, Operating cash flow was $13.4 million, and Net debt declined $11.5 million during the quarter to $44.2 million. Henry M. Nahmad, EVI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Fiscal 2026 was our best year, and the fourth quarter demonstrated meaningful progress toward the operating leverage we believe is achievable across EVI. Since the close of the fiscal year, we also established a new division in consumer garment care services. Our model is consistent across both the commercial laundry division and the consumer garment care division, as we seek to partner with great operators, provide the resources and capabilities to grow their businesses, and continuously improve performance across the broader organization.” 1 Note regarding adjusted EBITDA: In connection with its calculation of adjusted EBITDA, other than the customary exclusions of interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization in calculating EBITDA, the Company’s only adjustment is the amortization of stock-based compensation expense—a non-cash expense reflecting EVI’s belief in long-term employee ownership and its practice of granting equity to align its associates’ interests with those of its shareholders. The Company excludes this item as management believes the exclusion allows investors to better assess the full earnings potential of the business. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this release. See also “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” below. A Durable Business Compounding Growth and Earnings Demand in the commercial laundry industry has historically been durable and predictable. Laundry is essential to the operations of EVI’s customers: equipment must be serviced and eventually replaced, while service, parts, and consumables are continuously required. Generally, when equipment is replaced, customers are increasingly investing in larger, higher-capacity systems. As those systems grow in size and sophistication, so does the work around them: installations are more complex, service requires greater technical expertise, and parts are more specialized and more costly. The result is that more of the value in each customer relationship rests with the distributor — the party responsible for specifying the right system, installing it correctly, and keeping it running. Larger, more sophisticated systems also generate more service, parts, and consumables work over their operating lives, and EVI believes that its technical expertise, parts availability, and national service network position the Company to earn that work. The scale and reach of that network were evident in the fourth quarter, when EVI completed approximately 30,300 service visits, up approximately 10% sequentially, including visits to approximately 11,600 unique customers. Taken together, these dynamics give EVI a revenue base that is both visible and recurring, and they support the Company’s ability to invest through economic cycles in the people, service capability, and technology that it believes will support increased sales and profitability over time. Fiscal 2026 reflects those dynamics: EVI’s growth is compounding in quality as well as scale. Revenue increased 15% to a record $446.6 million, while gross profit grew faster, rising 19% to a record $140.7 million and lifting gross margin to a record 31.5%. Net income increased 3% to $7.7 million and adjusted EBITDA increased 16% to a record $29.1 million. That margin improvement reflects continued growth in the Company’s more durable service, parts, and consumables revenues, which carry higher margins than equipment sales and generally recur regardless of the timing of any single installation, as well as the Company's ownership of a greater portion of its supply chain through its Continental subsidiary. The Earnings Power of a Larger Revenue Base Within any given year, however, quarterly results have been shaped more by the timing of deliveries and installations than by any change in customer demand. Both deliveries and installations depend on customer facility readiness and construction schedules, and both can be delayed by events outside of the Company’s control, including adverse weather conditions, as certain projects were in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The completion of a portion of that deferred activity in the fourth quarter, together with an increased mix of industrial sales during the fourth quarter, contributed to the 21% sequential increase in revenue and to record fourth quarter revenue of $121.9 million. The fourth quarter results also demonstrated the earnings power of a larger revenue base: on 11% revenue growth over the prior fiscal year, fourth quarter net income increased 31% to $2.7 million and adjusted EBITDA increased 26% to a record $9.1 million. That earnings growth was also the product of years of investment in the Company’s operations. With the core ERP, field service, and other supporting technology platforms substantially deployed, EVI is moving from building capability to using it — standardizing processes, improving productivity, increasing coordination across its businesses, and converting additional revenue into profit more efficiently. Modernization of the Company’s operations is an ongoing program, not a completed project, and management believes EVI’s performance will continue to improve as it advances — producing meaningful and sustained operating leverage over time. Operating Margins Today — and What Closes the Gap Against that backdrop, EVI’s objective is to achieve double-digit consolidated operating margins. The Company’s operating businesses are already demonstrating that earnings potential. Net income was $7.7 million and $2.7 million for fiscal 2026 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $29.1 million and $9.1 million for fiscal 2026 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, respectively. Excluding corporate expenses, which totaled $13.8 million and $3.8 million for fiscal 2026 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, respectively, adjusted EBITDA was $42.9 million, or 9.6% of revenues, for fiscal 2026 and $12.9 million, or 10.6% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The remaining gap principally reflects corporate expenses that support the Company’s businesses collectively, including investments in technology, people, acquisitions, and other enterprise capabilities. As EVI grows, management expects those costs to be leveraged across a larger revenue base, while continued operating improvements provide an additional path to margin expansion. Investing in People, Processes, and Technology A large component of EVI’s corporate expense is investment in technology, which totaled approximately $3.7 million during fiscal 2026. This is an ongoing program that includes configuring third-party systems, developing and deploying solutions, integrating them across the enterprise, and training the Company’s personnel. The work is directed by experienced internal teams together with outside professionals. The purpose is to put better information in the hands of EVI’s people, so they make better decisions, and to improve the quality and performance of the Company’s operations. Management views these investments as building the Company’s long-term earnings capacity rather than creating a permanent constraint on margin. Corporate expense largely reflects infrastructure that serves the Company’s businesses collectively rather than costs that scale with revenue. Much of what the technology investments fund is built once and then used across all the Company’s businesses. As sales grow, operations are further refined, and utilization of these technologies deepens across the enterprise, management expects a greater portion of incremental gross profit to flow through to earnings. Given performance at the operating level, management believes a double-digit consolidated operating margin is within the Company’s reach over time. Buy-and-Build Strategy Drives Continued Expansion During fiscal 2026, EVI completed two acquisitions, adding ASN Laundry Group in August 2025 and Belenky, Inc. in February 2026 as the 31 st and 32 nd commercial laundry businesses to join the EVI family. Consistent with EVI’s operating model, acquired businesses generally continue to operate under their established brands with local leadership and decision-making authority, while benefiting from the Company’s capital resources, technology investments, and operating infrastructure. The Company continues to evaluate acquisition and investment opportunities in and around the laundry industry. Mr. Nahmad commented: “Our success in acquisitions extends beyond financial results; it’s built on people, culture, and trust. We take great pride in how we engage with business owners and their teams, striving to honor their legacies and provide their employees with meaningful opportunities to grow within our organization. We believe that this approach has earned us a reputation as the acquirer of choice in the commercial laundry industry, with owners of target companies excited to become part of a value-driven company with a strong track record, a growth-oriented culture, and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction. We expect that this reputation will continue to open doors and fuel our long-term buy-and-build strategy.” Building a Second High Growth Division: Consumer Garment Care Services Following the fiscal year end, on July 20, 2026, EVI announced plans to expand into the consumer garment care services industry through the establishment of a new division and its entry into a definitive agreement to acquire Miami, Florida-based Sudsies, Inc. (“Sudsies”). The acquisition of Sudsies closed on September 1, 2026, and marks EVI’s first dedicated expansion beyond the commercial laundry distribution and service industry since the Company began executing its long-term growth strategy in 2016. Sudsies serves as the foundation of EVI’s new consumer garment care division. Consumer garment care is a multibillion-dollar, essential and highly fragmented market characterized by recurring demand and thousands of independent, often family-owned businesses. EVI believes these characteristics create a compelling opportunity to build a large, highly profitable business of national scale. Sudsies provides EVI with an established foundation from which to pursue that opportunity, serving individual consumers and luxury retail partners with a differentiated emphasis on quality, convenience, and service experience. Over time, EVI intends to combine disciplined acquisitions and organic growth with investment in people, processes and technology to grow the division, improve operating performance, and create a business capable of producing meaningful earnings and cash flow. Cash Flow, Financial Strength, and Liquidity EVI generated $20.6 million in operating cash flow during fiscal 2026, including $13.4 million during the fourth quarter, an increase of 35% over the prior-year quarter. Net debt declined $11.5 million during the fourth quarter to $44.2 million as of June 30, 2026, and remained substantially unchanged compared to June 30, 2025 notwithstanding the funding of two acquisitions during the year. The Company believes its cash generation, balance sheet, and liquidity provide the financial flexibility to continue investing in organic growth, technology, acquisitions, and the development of both its commercial laundry and consumer garment care businesses, while returning capital to shareholders through dividends from time to time, recognizing however that acquisitions of greater size may require capital in addition to the Company's existing sources. Tariff Impacts EVI continues to monitor tariff developments and their potential impact on operations. In response to higher supplier and OEM costs, the Company has adjusted pricing while collaborating with suppliers on cost mitigation strategies. While trade policy remains uncertain, EVI believes the essential nature of the equipment, parts and services it provides, together with its broad customer base and supplier relationships, positions the Company to manage through changing market conditions. Looking Ahead Mr. Nahmad commented: “EVI today rests on a strong foundation: durable end markets, an entrepreneurial and decentralized operating model, deeply invested leadership, consistent cash generation, and a conservatively capitalized balance sheet. That foundation gives our businesses the freedom to think locally, act decisively, and invest for the long term. We believe there is still substantial value to unlock across commercial laundry and that consumer garment care gives us the opportunity to extend our capabilities into a complementary area of the laundry industry with significant long-term potential. We enter fiscal 2027 with greater capability, ample opportunity for growth, and a strong belief about what EVI can achieve.” 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 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. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is included in the financial information accompanying this press release. 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.
