Rhea AI CTAS FY2026 2026-10-04

Cintas is converting revenue growth into higher margins and cash while reducing leverage, but its short-term balance-sheet cushion narrowed sharply in FY2026.

From FY2022 through FY2026, gross margin widened from 46.2% to 50.7% as revenue expanded, indicating growth was not purchased by sacrificing gross profitability. FY2026 operating cash flow exceeded free cash flow by $395M, showing that capital spending absorbed cash without overwhelming the earnings base.

Leverage has been structurally reduced: debt-to-equity fell from 0.8x in FY2022 to 0.3x in FY2026, even as total assets expanded. That improvement came with a narrower short-term cushion, as the current ratio moved to 1.4x from 2.1x in FY2025, so solvency strengthened while working-capital flexibility tightened.

Operating margin rose from 20.2% to 23.1% across the period while free-cash-flow margin stayed around 17.0%, suggesting incremental profit was not absorbed by disproportionate reinvestment. In FY2026, free cash flow of $1.9B was about 94% of net income of $2.0B, a close accounting-to-cash match.

Leverage

Altman Z-Score Safe

12.88

Interest Coverage Safe

24.52x
