Changes to Operating and Reportable Segments
Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2025, we are reporting results under three operating and reportable segments. This shift in reportable segments reflects how our leadership oversees and manages the business. Our three operating and reportable segments consist of the following:
Uniform & Facility Service Solutions
First Aid & Safety Solutions
Other
To assist investors, we have provided certain recast unaudited historical financial and operational data that is on a basis consistent with our revised segment structure. This data can be found both in our Form 8-K filed on October 17, 2025 and on our Investor Relations webpage under "News Releases." These changes only affect segment allocation of results and do not revise or restate our previously reported consolidated financial statements.
Q4 2025 Segment Financial Highlights
Uniform & Facility Service Solutions
Revenues for the quarter were $560.1 million compared to $586.0 million in the prior year.
Organic growth, which excludes the effect of acquisitions, fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and the impact of the extra week of operations in fiscal 2024, was 2.9%. The Uniform & Facility Service Solutions' organic growth rate was primarily the result of solid new account sales and improved customer retention.
Operating margin was 8.3% compared to 8.7% in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.8% compared to 15.3% in the prior year.
The costs we incurred related to the Key Initiatives were recorded to the Uniform & Facility Service Solutions’ segment, and decreased both the Uniform & Facility Service Solutions’ operating and Adjusted EBITDA margins for the fourth quarters of fiscal 2025 and 2024 by 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively.
The segment’s operating and Adjusted EBITDA margins in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were down slightly from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, which benefited from the extra week of operations. In addition, the quarterly results reflect additional investments in accelerating growth, improving customer retention and our digital transformation.
First Aid & Safety Solutions
Revenues for the quarter were $31.1 million compared to $29.3 million in the prior year.
Organic growth was 12.4%, driven by strong growth in our First Aid van business.
Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
The segment’s results continue to reflect the investments we are making in our First Aid van business.
Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
Cash, cash equivalents and Short-term investments totaled $209.2 million as of August 30, 2025.
Cash flow from operating activities increased to $296.9 million in fiscal 2025, or 0.5%.
The Company had no long-term debt outstanding as of August 30, 2025.
The Company paid dividends to shareholders of $24.6 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of 5.5% from the prior year.
During fiscal 2025, the Company repurchased 402,415 shares of Common Stock for approximately $70.9 million. As of August 30, 2025, the Company had $40.6 million remaining under its existing share repurchase authorization.
Financial Outlook
Mr. Sintros continued, “For fiscal 2026, we expect our revenues to be between $2.475 billion and $2.495 billion and fully diluted earnings per share to be between $6.58 and $6.98. This guidance includes an estimated $7.0 million of costs directly attributable to our Key Initiatives that we anticipate will be expensed in fiscal 2026. Please note the following regarding our guidance:
Net income, at the midpoint of the range, is expected to be $124.1 million.
Consolidated Operating Income, at the midpoint of the range, is expected to be $158.8 million.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, at the midpoint of the range, is expected to be $319.7 million.
Net income, Operating Income and Diluted earnings per share are anticipated to be impacted by higher depreciation and amortization assumptions, largely due to the projected deployment of our ongoing Oracle ERP initiative. In addition, fiscal 2026 is expected to have higher stock-based compensation expense. As a reminder, these non-cash items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
Uniform & Facility Service Solutions’ organic revenue growth, at the midpoint of the range, is expected to be 2.6%.
Uniform & Facility Service Solutions’ operating and Adjusted EBITDA margins, at the midpoint of the range, are expected to be 6.6% and 13.3%, respectively.
Overall results are anticipated to be impacted by lower expected revenue and profitability out of our nuclear services business.
The effective tax rate is assumed to be 26.0%.
Guidance does not include the impact of any future share buybacks or unexpected events affecting the economy generally.”

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:
