Vestis Corporation Reports $2.73 Billion Revenue Decline and $40.2 Million Net Loss for Fiscal Year 2025

Vestis Corporation, a leading provider of uniform rentals and workplace supplies in the United States and Canada, reported a revenue of approximately $2.73 billion for the fiscal year ending October 3, 2025. This figure represents a decline of 2.5% from the previous fiscal year’s revenue of $2.81 billion. The company experienced a significant operating income drop of 59.2%, falling to $64.4 million from $158 million in the prior year, while it recorded a net loss of $40.2 million compared to a net income of $21 million in fiscal 2024. The decrease in revenue was attributed to a $105.6 million decline in uniform rentals and a $17 million drop in workplace supplies, alongside adverse foreign exchange impacts.

In terms of operational metrics, Vestis serves over 300,000 customer accounts across various industries, including manufacturing, hospitality, and healthcare. The company operates approximately 325 facilities and employs around 18,150 individuals. The majority of its revenue, about 95%, comes from its recurring rental business, which provides a predictable revenue stream. However, the company faced challenges in customer retention, with rental revenue declining by $89 million due to lost business exceeding new contracts.

Strategically, Vestis initiated a multi-year business transformation and restructuring plan aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and customer focus. This plan, which began in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, is expected to generate annual operating cost savings of at least $75 million by the end of fiscal 2026. The restructuring involves streamlining operations and optimizing asset utilization, with an estimated cost of $25 million to $30 million for implementation. The company also amended its credit agreement to increase its net leverage ratio, allowing for greater financial flexibility during this transition.

Looking ahead, Vestis remains focused on improving its profitability and cash flow generation while navigating a challenging economic landscape characterized by inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions. The company’s management expressed confidence in its ability to adapt to changing market conditions and enhance its service offerings. However, the ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties may continue to pose risks to its operational performance and financial stability.
