CTAS - Cintas Corporation Announces Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter Results

Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) today reported results for its fiscal 2023 second quarter ended November 30, 2022. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.17 billion compared to $1.92 billion in last year’s second quarter, an increase of 13.1%. The organic revenue growth rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which adjusts for the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, was 12.8%.

Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1,022.4 million compared to $885.1 million in last year’s second quarter, an increase of 15.5%. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 47.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 46.0% in last year's second quarter, an increase of 100 basis points. Energy expenses comprised of gasoline, natural gas and electricity were 10 basis points higher during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to last year's second quarter.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $444.9 million compared to $381.2 million in last year's second quarter, an increase of 16.7%. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 20.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 19.8% in last year's second quarter, an increase of 70 basis points.

Net income was $324.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $294.7 million in last year's second quarter, an increase of 10.1%. Second quarter of fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $3.12 compared to $2.76 in last year's second quarter, an increase of 13.0%.

On September 15, 2022, Cintas paid an aggregate quarterly cash dividend of $117.3 million to shareholders.

Todd M. Schneider, Cintas' President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our financial performance is the result of the exceptional execution of our employee-partners in providing businesses with the image, safety, cleanliness and compliance they need to get Ready for the Workday ® . Each of our operating segments again grew revenue at a double-digit rate. Strong volume growth from new customers and the penetration of existing customers with more products and services generated operating leverage. This contributed to the achievement of double-digit increases in operating income and diluted EPS despite high inflation."

Mr. Schneider concluded, "We are increasing our full fiscal year financial guidance. We are raising our annual revenue expectations from a range of $8.58 billion to $8.67 billion to a range of $8.67 billion to $8.75 billion and diluted EPS from a range of $12.30 to $12.65 to a range of $12.50 to $12.80."

The following table provides a comparison of fiscal 2022 revenue and diluted EPS to our updated fiscal 2023 guidance.

  • Fiscal year 2023 operating income is expected to be in the range of $1.75 billion to $1.79 billion compared to $1.55 billion in fiscal year 2022, adjusted to exclude the gains in the table above.
  • Fiscal year 2023 interest expense is expected to be approximately $113.0 million compared to $88.8 million in fiscal year 2022, due in part to higher interest rates.
  • Fiscal year 2023 effective tax rate is expected to be 20.7% compared to a rate of 17.9% in fiscal year 2022, after excluding the gains in the table above and their related tax impacts from the reported rate of 17.5%.
  • Our diluted EPS guidance includes no future share buybacks.
  • We remain in a dynamic environment that can continue to change. Our guidance assumes a stable economy and excludes COVID-19 pandemic-related setbacks or economic downturns.
