Vestis’ fiscal 2024 revenue decreased
Fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 170 basis points, which included an approximately 65 basis point impact from higher public company costs as compared to the prior year. The net effect of lower volumes, higher net energy costs (net of the elimination of the prior year temporary energy fee), and higher public company costs outweighed the favorable impact of pricing compared to the prior year.

Vestis’ fourth quarter fiscal 2024 revenue decreased
Fourth quarter fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 400 basis points, which included an approximately 75 basis point impact from higher public company costs as compared to the prior year. The margin decline was primarily attributable to lower net volumes and lower pricing from the erosion of price increases that favorably impacted the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP Information
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial information that is forward-looking in nature, including without limitation adjusted EBITDA margin. Vestis believes that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require Vestis to predict the timing and likelihood of among other things future acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, asset impairments, other charges and other factors not within Vestis’ control. Neither these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures are not provided. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures. The estimates of revenue growth for fiscal year 2025 and adjusted EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2025 do not attempt to forecast currency fluctuations and, accordingly, reflect an assumption of constant currency.

Vestis will host a webcast to discuss its fiscal fourth quarter 2024 results and outlook on Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 8:30 AM ET. The webcast can be accessed live through the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.vestis.com.
