Segment Information

Cintas’ reportable operating segments are Uniform Rental and Facility Services and First Aid and Safety Services. The Uniform Rental and Facility Services reportable operating segment consists of the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments including flame resistant clothing, mats, mops and shop towels and other ancillary items. In addition to these rental items, restroom cleaning services and supplies, and the sale of items from our catalogs to our customers on route are included within this reportable operating segment.

The remainder of Cintas’ operating segments, which consists of the Fire Protection Services operating segment and the Uniform Direct Sales operating segment, is included in All Other.

Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the chief executive officer. The CODM is responsible for setting the Company's strategic direction, managing overall operations, and is the main point of communications between the Board and key operational personnel within the organization. The CODM evaluates each operating segment's performance primarily based on revenue and operating income, using this information to guide strategic decisions and allocate resources across the Company. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 entitled Basis of Presentation.
