Cintas Corporation Announces Fiscal 2012 Results
CINCINNATI, July 16, 2012 -- Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq:CTAS) today reported results for its fourth quarter ended May 31, 2012. Revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.05 billion, representing a 4.1% 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 4.0%. Net income increased 11.1% to $78.6 million as compared to $70.8 million in last year's fourth quarter. Earnings per diluted share (EPS) for the fourth quarter were $0.60, a 22.4% increase over the $0.49 earnings per diluted share in last year's fourth quarter.
Scott D. Farmer, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “In an increasingly challenging economy, we are pleased to report record quarterly revenue and solid operating results. We continue to be pleased with the performance of all of our businesses and the execution of our game plan.”
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, revenue was a record $4.1 billion, a 7.7% increase from the prior fiscal year. Organic growth was 6.1%. Net income increased 20.5% to $297.6 million as compared to last fiscal year. Earnings per diluted share increased 35.1% to $2.27 as compared to last fiscal year.
Mr. Farmer added, “This concludes a very successful year for Cintas in which our revenue topped the $4 billion mark for the first time and EPS hit a record level of $2.27. We also significantly improved our operating margins for the fiscal year to 13.2% as compared to 11.6% last fiscal year. Cash flows from operations increased by 37.8% to $469.9 million compared to last year's $340.9 million. Our employees, who we call partners, did a great job of executing our game plan throughout the past twelve months. Congratulations to these partners on their achievements this year.”
During the fourth quarter, Cintas purchased 3.3 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $129.6 million. This share buyback had no impact on fourth quarter results since it occurred so late in the fiscal year. However, it is expected to benefit fiscal year 2013 earnings per diluted shared by approximately $0.06. The Cintas Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share buyback program in October 2011. As of May 31, 2012, the Company has $370.4 million available under the current Board authorization.
Mr. Farmer concluded, “We enter fiscal 2013 in a U.S. economy without momentum. The U.S. job growth has significantly slowed to the point of only adding 225,000 jobs in the past three months. Many forecasts indicate U.S. GDP growth during our fiscal year 2013 to be less than 2%. Because of these factors, combined with the uncertainty of potential changes in tax law for 2013, we view fiscal year 2013 with caution. We expect our fiscal 2013 revenue to be in the range of $4.25 billion to $4.35 billion, with full year earnings per diluted share in the range of $2.47 to $2.55. This guidance assumes no further deterioration in the U.S. economy and some improvement in recycled paper prices from our fourth quarter level. It also incorporates the share buyback executed in our fourth quarter, but does not consider any additional share buyback.”

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 operating results, net earnings, net margin and earnings per share adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains and losses. 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.
Management believes organic growth adjusted for acquisitions and the number of workdays allows investors to review our results on a comparable basis.
