Management Commentary

“Our results in the quarter and outlook for the year are not in line with expectations but demonstrate the power of our model and the underlying health of the business, as evidenced by the strong and improving cash flow generation despite the revenue shortfall. Our ability to generate strong cash flows will serve us well as we continue to ramp our sales productivity and improve customer retention.

While we are lowering fiscal 2024 guidance as we navigate short-term challenges, operating trends are improving across our business. We are advancing our strategic plan, particularly in the areas of logistics optimization and customer penetration through cross-selling on routes. We remain confident in the value creation opportunity for Vestis and are mobilized to capitalize on it over the long-term.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are presented in the tables accompanying this release.

($ in millions)	Consolidated
	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2024			March 31, 2023			Change
Revenue	$	705.4		$	699.3		0.9	%
Operating Income		43.1			49.4		(12.8	)%
Adjusted Operating Income		58.5			65.7		(11.0	)%
Net Income		6.0			36.9		(83.8	)%
Adjusted EBITDA		87.2			92.8		(6.0	)%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin		12.4	%		13.3	%	(90 bps)

Vestis’ second quarter 2024 revenue increased 0.9% versus the second quarter of 2023, which included a $13 million impact from the temporary energy fee. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and the prior year temporary energy fee, Vestis’ revenue growth rate was 2.8%.

Second quarter fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 90 basis points, which included an approximately 60 basis point impact from higher public company costs as compared to the prior year. The impact of lower volume and the elimination of the temporary energy fee more than offset the favorable impact of pricing and productivity in the quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Vestis’ net cash provided by operating activities increased 85% year-over-year in the first half of fiscal 2024 to $127.5 million. Free cash flow in the first half of fiscal 2024 increased 107% year-over-year to $97.7 million.

As of March 29, 2024, total principal debt outstanding was $1.44 billion, which includes the impact of a $54 million principal repayment on the company’s Term Loan A-2 during the quarter; net leverage declined from 3.95x at the end of fiscal 2023 to 3.82x at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

During the second quarter, Vestis successfully refinanced its $800 million 2-year Term Loan A-1 with an $800 million 7-year Term Loan B-1, extending Vestis’ debt maturity profile by more than five years to 2031.

Revised Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook

We now expect to deliver fiscal 2024 revenue growth in the range of (1)% to 0%. Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be between 12.0% and 12.4%. We continue to expect $15 to $18 million in incremental public company costs in the period.

We are actively pursuing a portfolio of cost efficiency programs, accelerating logistics and merchandise optimization, and identifying and implementing the optimal organization structure to accelerate growth.

Our strategic imperatives include disciplined capital allocation with deleveraging as a priority. We continue to expect strong free cash flow conversion and anticipate a ratio of free cash flow to net income greater than or equal to 100%.

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 2024 and adjusted EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2024 do not attempt to forecast currency fluctuations and, accordingly, reflect an assumption of constant currency.

Non-GAAP Definitions

This release could include certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Revenue Growth (Organic), Adjusted Revenue (Organic), Adjusted Revenue Growth excluding Temporary Energy Fee, Adjusted Revenue excluding Temporary Energy Fee, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Net Leverage, and Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA. Vestis utilizes these measures when monitoring and evaluating operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are supplemental measures of Vestis’ performance that Vestis believes help investors because they enable better comparisons of Vestis’ historical results and allow Vestis’ investors to evaluate its performance based on the same metrics that Vestis uses to evaluate its performance and trends in its results. Vestis’ presentation of these metrics has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Vestis’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of their limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as measures of cash available to Vestis to invest in the growth of Vestis’ business or that will be available to Vestis to meet its obligations. Vestis compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP financial measures, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to revenue, operating income, operating income margin, net income, net income margin or net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Vestis believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, are important supplemental measures which exclude non-cash or other items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to Vestis’ core operating results and the overall health of Vestis. Non-GAAP financial measures as presented by Vestis may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations.
