UniFirst Corporation reported modest growth but lower profitability for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026. Quarterly revenues rose to $622.5 million, up 3.4%, while net income fell to $20.5 million, down 16.3%, as higher selling and administrative spending and service staffing investments pressured margins.
For the first half of the fiscal year, revenues reached $1.24 billion, up 3.0%, but net income declined 18.8% to $54.8 million. Uniform & Facility Service Solutions and First Aid & Safety Solutions both grew, while the Other segment eased due to cyclical nuclear work. Cash and cash equivalents were $151.8 million and the company had $198.0 million available under its $300.0 million revolver.
UniFirst also entered a Merger Agreement with Cintas. Each outstanding UniFirst common and Class B share is expected to convert into $155.00 in cash plus 0.7720 Cintas shares, subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory and shareholder approvals, and reciprocal termination fees of $213.3 million (UniFirst) and $350.0 million (Cintas) in specified circumstances.

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%. Results included $3.0 million of Key Initiative ERP costs plus additional expenses for shareholder engagement, proxy matters tied to the proposed Cintas merger, and a legal employee matter.
Segment performance was mixed: Uniform & Facility Service Solutions revenue rose 3.2% with improved customer acquisition and retention but lower margins; First Aid & Safety Solutions revenue grew 12.2% yet remained loss-making; the Other (nuclear solutions) segment saw revenue decline 1.9% but maintained solid profitability.
