Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the primary driver of Cintas' revenue growth in this quarter?

    The primary driver of Cintas' revenue growth was the Rentals segment, which saw an 11% increase in revenue. This growth is primarily attributed to an expanding customer base.

  2. How has the adoption of new accounting standards impacted reported earnings?

    Cintas adopted SFAS 142, which discontinued the amortization of goodwill. For the three months ended August 31, 2001, this change had no impact on reported net income or EPS as goodwill amortization was already zeroed out. However, it's noted that in the prior year period (August 2000), the exclusion of goodwill amortization (net of tax) increased adjusted net income and adjusted EPS.

  3. What is the company's outlook for future investments?

    The company has a strong cash position of $127 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. This capital, along with operational cash flow, is intended to fund future acquisitions and capital expenditures. Eight new uniform rental facilities are currently under construction, indicating continued investment in operational capacity.

  4. How is Cintas managing its debt and interest expenses?

    Net interest expense decreased from $3 million in the prior year period to $2 million. This reduction is due to lower levels of long-term debt and decreased interest rates. Cintas also utilizes interest rate swap agreements for cash flow hedging to convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate.
