Operating income fell to $23.0 million from $48.2 million and net income declined to $19.9 million from $39.7 million, as operating margin compressed to 3.6% from 7.9%. Results included about $20.7 million of merger-related costs tied to the proposed Cintas transaction and $5.2 million of enterprise resource planning project expenses.
UniFirst highlighted its pending merger with Cintas, under which shareholders are slated to receive $155.00 in cash plus 0.7720 Cintas shares per UniFirst share. Shareholders approved the deal on June 11, 2026, and both companies received a Federal Trade Commission Second Request as part of the ongoing regulatory review, with closing expected in the second half of calendar 2026, subject to customary conditions.

Operating income declined to $26.0 million, with operating margin slipping to 4.2% from 5.2% as the company increased planned investments in growth and digital transformation.
Net income was $20.5 million versus $24.5 million, and diluted EPS was $1.13 compared to $1.31. Adjusted EBITDA was $66.8 million, down from $68.9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin eased to 10.7% from 11.4%.

UniFirst Corporation agreed to be acquired by Cintas Corporation in a cash-and-stock deal valuing UniFirst at approximately $5.5 billion. UniFirst shareholders will receive $155 in cash plus 0.7720 shares of Cintas common stock per UniFirst share, implying total consideration of $310.00 based on Cintas’ prior closing price.
The acquisition will be completed through a two-step merger, after which UniFirst will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Cintas. Closing requires a two‑thirds UniFirst shareholder vote, regulatory approvals including antitrust clearance, effectiveness of a Cintas Form S‑4, and no material adverse effects on either company.
UniFirst faces a $213.3 million termination fee in certain scenarios, while Cintas would owe $350 million if it terminates under specified circumstances. A voting agreement covering about two‑thirds of UniFirst’s voting power supports approval.
