UniFirst reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue up 5.0% to $645.0 million, while diluted earnings per share fell to $1.90 from $2.23 as transaction-related costs for the proposed Cintas merger weighed on profit. For the full year, revenue rose 3.7% to $2.523 billion but diluted EPS fell to $6.02 from $7.98. The company no longer provides financial guidance because of the pending Cintas transaction.
Q4 net income was $34.7 million versus $41.0 million a year earlier; operating income was $41.7 million versus $49.6 million.
Q4 results included approximately $14.4 million of Cintas merger-related transaction costs.
The FTC timing agreement bars closing the Cintas transaction before December 11, 2026 unless the FTC closes its investigation earlier; the companies expect closing before the end of calendar 2026.
Cash and cash equivalents were $192.1 million at August 29, 2026, with no long-term debt outstanding.
