Insights

Cintas delivered an exceptional fiscal Q3 2025 performance with revenue up 8.4% to $2.61 billion and organic growth of 7.9%, demonstrating robust demand for its workplace services despite having two fewer workdays this fiscal year.

The standout story is margin expansion - gross margin improved 120 basis points to 50.6% while operating margin jumped from 21.6% to 23.4%. This translated to operating income of $609.9 million (up 17.1%) and diluted EPS of $1.13 (up 17.7%).

While a $15 million gain on property sale benefited this quarter's operating income, the prior year had a comparable headwind from a settlement charge, indicating consistent underlying performance improvement.

Management's confidence is evident in three key actions: (1) narrowing and raising organic growth guidance from 7.0-7.7% to 7.4-7.7%, (2) increasing EPS guidance from $4.28-$4.34 to $4.36-$4.40, and (3) boosting the quarterly dividend by 14.9%.

What's particularly impressive is Cintas's ability to navigate growing currency headwinds (expected to impact second-half revenue by 0.4% vs. 0.1% in first half) while maintaining momentum. This performance illustrates how essential workplace service providers with strong execution can thrive even in uncertain economic conditions.

Cintas's Q3 results highlight the resilience and effectiveness of its business model. The 7.9% organic growth is remarkable for a mature business, indicating continued market penetration and successful cross-selling of its diverse workplace services portfolio.

The 120 basis point gross margin improvement reveals significant pricing power and operational efficiency. In today's inflationary environment, this ability to not just protect but substantially expand margins while growing revenue demonstrates exceptional competitive positioning.

The company's strategic focus on being a comprehensive provider for workplace essentials - spanning uniforms, safety, cleanliness and compliance - clearly resonates with businesses looking to consolidate vendors and ensure regulatory adherence. This integrated offering creates both defensive moats and expansion opportunities.

Management's guidance adjustments show disciplined optimism - they're raising EPS expectations while acknowledging currency headwinds, indicating confidence in operational execution regardless of external factors. The 14.9% dividend increase further signals long-term financial strength.

Particularly noteworthy is achieving these results despite having fewer workdays compared to last year, which naturally constrains revenue potential. This suggests deeper wallet share with existing customers and potentially higher-value service mix, reinforcing Cintas's position as an essential partner rather than discretionary vendor.

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) today reported results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter ended February 28, 2025. Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $2.61 billion compared to $2.41 billion in last year’s third quarter, an increase of 8.4%. Revenue growth in the quarter was positively impacted by 0.9% due to acquisitions and negatively impacted by 0.4% due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The organic revenue growth rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which adjusts for the impacts of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, was 7.9%.

Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.32 billion compared to $1.19 billion in last year’s third quarter, an increase of 11.1%. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 50.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 49.4% in last year's third quarter, an increase of 120 basis points.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 17.1% to $609.9 million compared to $520.8 million in last year's third quarter. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 23.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 21.6% in last year's third quarter. Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 benefited from a $15.0 million gain on the sale of property and equipment, while the prior fiscal year third quarter was negatively impacted by a $15.0 million agreement in principle to settle a purported class action contract dispute. Both of these items were recorded in selling and administrative expenses.

Net income was $463.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $397.6 million in last year's third quarter, an increase of 16.6%. The third quarter of fiscal 2025 effective tax rate was 21.0% compared to 19.9% in last year's third quarter. The tax rates in both quarters were impacted by certain discrete items, primarily the tax accounting impact for stock-based compensation. Third quarter of fiscal 2025 diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.13 compared to $0.96 in last year's third quarter, an increase of 17.7%. The diluted EPS in each period is reflective of the impact of the four-for-one split of Cintas' common stock on September 11, 2024 (the Stock Split).

On March 14, 2025, Cintas paid an aggregate quarterly dividend of $158.1 million to shareholders, an increase of 14.9% from the amount paid last March.

Todd M. Schneider, Cintas' President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Cintas delivered strong revenue growth, operating margins and cash flow generation in the third quarter. Our results are a testament to superb execution by our employee-partners and the differentiated value proposition we offer to our customers in providing for their image, safety, cleanliness and compliance needs.”

Mr. Schneider concluded, "As we close out a strong fiscal 2025, we are updating our annual revenue expectations from a range of $10.255 billion to $10.320 billion to a range of $10.280 billion to $10.305 billion. The $15.0 million reduction at the top of the range reflects the negative impact of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations experienced in the third quarter and the expected impact for the fourth quarter. While the top end of the range for the organic growth rate expectations remains unchanged at 7.7%, we are raising the low end of the organic growth rate expectations from 7.0% to 7.4%. Although foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations do not impact organic growth rates, they do impact total growth. Finally, we are raising our diluted EPS guidance from a range of $4.28 to $4.34 to a range of $4.36 to $4.40. Looking ahead, our superior products and services, unique culture and world-class team of employee-partners continue to position us to deliver meaningful value for our shareholders, customers and all stakeholders.”

Please keep in mind there are two fewer workdays in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. The following table helps illustrate the impact of two fewer workdays:
