UniFirst Announces Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of Fiscal 2026
UniFirst reported Q4 fiscal 2026 revenue of $645.0 million, up 5.0% year-over-year on organic growth in its core Uniform & Facility Services segment. Diluted EPS fell to $1.90 from $2.23, and operating margin compressed to 6.5% from 8.1%, with results burdened by roughly $14.4 million of Cintas merger-related costs. Full-year revenue rose 3.7% to $2.523 billion with EPS of $6.02 versus $7.98. On the pending Cintas deal, UniFirst and Cintas certified compliance with the FTC's Second Request on October 2 and entered a timing agreement not to close before December 11, 2026; the transaction is still expected to close before year-end 2026.
