UniFirst Corporation reported its financial results for the thirteen weeks ended November 29, 2025, revealing a revenue increase of 2.7% to $621.3 million, compared to $604.9 million in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by a 2.4% increase in the Uniform & Facility Service Solutions segment, which generated $565.9 million in revenue, and a notable 15.3% rise in the First Aid & Safety Solutions segment, which brought in $30.2 million. However, the company experienced a decline in net income, which fell by 20.3% to $34.4 million, down from $43.1 million in the prior year, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.89 compared to $2.31.

Operating expenses increased by 4.8% to $576.0 million, with cost of revenues rising by 3.1% to $393.0 million, attributed to investments in service staffing and higher healthcare claims. Selling and administrative expenses surged by 10.7% to $147.8 million, driven by investments in growth and digital transformation, as well as increased legal and healthcare costs. Consequently, operating income decreased by 18.4% to $45.3 million, reflecting a decline in operating margin from 9.2% to 7.3%.

In terms of strategic developments, UniFirst completed four acquisitions in the First Aid & Safety Solutions segment during the quarter, totaling approximately $14.9 million. The company has also been investing in a multi-year ERP project aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and customer service, with $51.5 million capitalized to date. The company’s total assets decreased to $2.75 billion from $2.78 billion at the end of the previous fiscal period, primarily due to a reduction in cash and cash equivalents.

Operationally, UniFirst serves over 300,000 customer locations across North America and Europe. The company reported a decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $124.0 million, down from $203.5 million, largely due to capital expenditures, share repurchases, and acquisitions. The company repurchased 194,100 shares for approximately $31.7 million during the quarter, with $8.9 million remaining under its share repurchase program. Looking ahead, UniFirst anticipates continued growth in its core segments, although it remains cautious about potential economic challenges, including inflation and geopolitical factors that could impact its operations and margins.
