Cintas Corporation Announces Fiscal 2013 Results

CINCINNATI, July 15, 2013 -- Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq:CTAS) today reported results for its fourth quarter ended May 31, 2013. Revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.13 billion, representing a 7.2% increase compared to last year's fourth quarter. Organic growth, which adjusts for the impact of acquisitions, compared to last year's fourth quarter, was 6.2%. Net income increased 9.4% to $86.0 million as compared to $78.6 million in last year's fourth quarter. Earnings per diluted share (EPS) for the fourth quarter were $0.69, a 15.0% increase over the $0.60 EPS in last year's fourth quarter.

Scott D. Farmer, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report another quarter of record revenue. In addition, our fourth quarter operating margin of 13.6% of revenue reflects the execution of our plan to sell profitable business, manage our cost structure and continuously improve the efficiency of our processes. These solid results conclude a successful year for Cintas achieved in large part by the hard work and dedication of our employees, who we call partners.”

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, revenue was a record $4.32 billion, a 5.2% increase from the prior fiscal year. Adjusting for one less workday in this fiscal year compared to last fiscal year, revenue grew 5.6% over last fiscal year. Organic growth, which adjusts for the impact of acquisitions and the impact of one less workday compared to last fiscal year, was 4.9%. Net income increased 6.0% to $315.4 million compared to last fiscal year. EPS increased 11.0% to $2.52 as compared to last fiscal year.

Mr. Farmer added, “I am proud to report that we achieved record fiscal year sales and EPS in fiscal year 2013. It was the third consecutive fiscal year of double digit EPS growth. In addition, our balance sheet and cash flow remain very strong. As of May 31, 2013, cash and marketable securities totaled $358.0 million, and debt to EBITDA was 1.9 to one. Cash flow from operations for the fiscal year increased 17.6% to $552.7 million compared to last fiscal year.”

Mr. Farmer concluded, “While the U.S. economy has shown some signs of improvement in the past several months, much uncertainty remains. This uncertainty, due to a number of factors including the effect of the Affordable Care Act, continues to cause many of our customers to delay hiring and investment decisions. We have developed our fiscal 2014 expectations with this uncertain economic landscape in mind. We expect fiscal 2014 revenue to be in the range of $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion, and full year EPS to be in the range of $2.66 to $2.75. This guidance assumes no deterioration in the U.S. economy and does not consider any additional share buybacks. It does incorporate the impact of having one less workday in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 and our current estimate of the impact of the Affordable Care Act on our cost structure during fiscal year 2014.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Regulation G Disclosure

The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company provides additional measures of revenue growth, debt and cash flow. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate to enhance understanding of its past performance as well as prospects for future performance. A reconciliation of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is shown below.

Revenue adjusted for workday difference	$	4,333,009	$	4,102,000	5.6%

	E=(A/C)*D		F=(B/D)*D

Management believes that Workday Adjusted Revenue Growth is valuable to investors because it reflects the revenue performance compared to a prior period with the same number of revenue generating days.

Long-term debt	$	1,309,166	$	1,284,802

Debt	$	1,394,941	$	1,370,518

Amortization	23,713		38,334
EBITDA	$	754,997	$	735,734
Debt / EBITDA	1.9		1.9

Management believes the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is valuable to investors, particularly investors of the company's debt, because it is a common metric that reflects the company's earnings and cash flow available for debt service payments.

Computation of Free Cash Flow

	Twelve Months Ended
	May 31, 2013			May 31, 2012
Net Cash Provided by Operations	$	552,748		$	469,862
Capital Expenditures	$	(196,486	)	$	(160,802	)
Free Cash Flow	$	356,262		$	309,060

Management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company.  Management believes that free cash flow is useful to investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue, improve and grow business operations.
