Dow Jones

Jul 15

Cintas posted a 51.0% gross margin in its fiscal fourth quarter, matching its all-time high and marking a 130 basis-point improvement from a year earlier. The gain outstripped the 8.9% revenue increase during the same period, reflecting efficiency improvements across operations. CEO Todd M. Schneider attributed the performance to investments in technology, capacity, and talent. For the full fiscal year, gross margin reached 50.7%, also a record. The uniform rental and facility services segment, Cintas's largest, saw its gross margin rise to 50.2% in the quarter from 49.0% a year ago.
