"Every statement and note used is presented in thousands of dollars, with share counts also in thousands. All dollar amounts and share counts here have been restated into actual dollars and actual shares; per-share amounts are in dollars as printed.",
"Periods covered: the 10-K presents income statements and cash flow statements for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 and balance sheets at May 31, 2026 and May 31, 2025, so fiscal 2024 carries no balance sheet here. The 10-Q presents the three months ended August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025 and a balance sheet at August 31, 2026 (alongside May 31, 2026, which is the fiscal 2026 year-end balance sheet). No balance sheet is presented at August 31, 2025, so the year-ago quarter carries none.",
"The quarter ended August 31, 2026 is the first quarter of fiscal 2027, so the fiscal year-to-date period is identical to that quarter and is not repeated as a separate block.",
"The income statement lists the cost of uniform rental and facility services and the cost of other revenue separately and does not print a gross profit line. Total cost of revenue and gross profit are taken from the Total column of the operating segment note (\"Cost of sales\" and \"Gross margin\"), which equals the sum of the two cost lines on the income statement.",
"Interest income is presented on the income statement within costs and expenses as a negative amount (a reduction of expense). It is recorded here as a positive interest income figure.",
"On March 10, 2026 Cintas agreed to acquire UniFirst Corporation in a transaction valued at approximately $5.5 billion; each UniFirst share is to be converted into $155.00 in cash and 0.7720 Cintas shares. The transaction had not closed when the 10-Q was filed. The FTC issued a request for additional information on June 11, 2026; on October 2, 2026 the companies certified substantial compliance and entered into a timing agreement not to complete the transaction before December 11, 2026 unless the FTC closes its investigation earlier. Cintas expects the transaction to close before the end of calendar 2026.",
"UniFirst transaction expenses appear as their own line within costs and expenses: $15.1 million in fiscal 2026 and $14.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Cintas states that a further $1.0 million (fiscal 2026) and $1.3 million (first quarter of fiscal 2027) of transaction costs were recorded in interest expense. The filings print a dash for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and the first quarter of fiscal 2026, recorded here as zero. In the segment note these expenses sit in a Corporate column outside the operating segments.",
"Segments: Cintas has two reportable operating segments, Uniform Rental and Facility Services and First Aid and Safety Services. Its Fire Protection Services and Uniform Direct Sale operating segments are combined as All Other. Uniform Rental and Facility Services segment revenue equals the income statement's uniform rental and facility services revenue line; First Aid and Safety Services and All Other together make up the income statement's other revenue line.",
"Total debt is the sum of debt due within one year and debt due after one year as carried on the balance sheet, net of unamortized debt issuance costs. The underlying senior notes total $2,436.55 million of principal at May 31, 2025, May 31, 2026 and August 31, 2026; the $1.0 billion 3.70% senior notes maturing in fiscal 2027 moved into debt due within one year at May 31, 2026. No commercial paper or revolving credit borrowings were outstanding at any of these dates.",
"The balance sheet does not print a total liabilities line; total liabilities here is total current liabilities plus total long-term liabilities, which together with total shareholders' equity equals total assets at each date.",
"Free cash flow is calculated here as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures; it is not a figure Cintas reports in these statements. Cash outflows (capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends paid, share repurchases, net investing and financing outflows) are shown as negative amounts, as the cash flow statement prints them.",
"Shares outstanding are taken from the balance sheet caption (issued shares less treasury shares). The cover of the 10-Q reports 397,075,093 common shares outstanding at September 30, 2026.",
"The 10-K labels its per-share dividend line \"Dividends declared and paid per share\" and the 10-Q labels it \"Dividends declared per share\"; both are recorded as dividends declared per share. The 10-K labels its amortization add-back \"Amortization of intangible assets and capitalized contract costs\" and the 10-Q labels it \"Amortization\"; both are recorded as amortization.",
"The trailing-twelve-month figures for the period ended August 31, 2026 are computed as fiscal 2026 plus the first quarter of fiscal 2027 less the first quarter of fiscal 2026. They are a roll-forward, not figures Cintas reports. Trailing diluted EPS of $5.07 is the sum of reported diluted EPS ($4.91 for fiscal 2026, plus $1.36, less $1.20) and is an approximation, because the weighted-average share count differs from period to period.",
"The effective tax rate was 20.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and 17.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026; Cintas states that both periods were affected by discrete items, primarily the tax accounting for stock-based compensation."
],
"uncertainties": [
"Trailing-twelve-month diluted EPS is the sum of reported per-share figures, not a figure computed on a single share count, so it may differ by a cent or two from a properly weighted figure.",
"The year-ago quarter (three months ended August 31, 2025) has income statement, cash flow and segment figures but no balance sheet, because the 10-Q does not present one at that date."
