UNIFIRST ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023

Wilmington, MA – January 4, 2023 – UniFirst Corporation (NYSE: UNF) (the “Company,” “UniFirst” or “we”) today reported results for its first quarter ended November 26, 2022 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year:

Q1 2023 Financial Highlights

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter increased 11.4% to $541.8 million.
Operating income was $43.4 million, a decrease of 3.1%.
The quarterly tax rate increased to 25.2% compared to 24.6% in the prior year.
Net income increased to $34.0 million from $33.7 million in the prior year, or 0.7%.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $1.81 from $1.77 in the prior year, or 2.3%.

The Company’s financial results for the first quarters of fiscal 2023 and 2022 included approximately $10.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, of costs directly attributable to its CRM, ERP and branding initiatives (the “Key Initiatives”). Excluding these Key Initiative costs:

Adjusted operating income was $53.5 million, an increase of 5.4% from prior year's adjusted operating income.
Adjusted net income increased to $41.5 million from $38.1 million.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $2.21 from $2.00 in the prior year, or 10.5%.

 

Steven Sintros, UniFirst President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our results for the first quarter came in largely as anticipated and I continue to be pleased with the steady progress of our key technology and infrastructure initiatives. We continue to be focused on making long-term investments in our business designed to accelerate growth and profitability as well as ensure that we are providing industry leading services for years to come. I want to thank our thousands of dedicated Team Partners that continue to Always Deliver for each other and our customers.

Segment Reporting Highlights

Core Laundry Operations

Revenues for the quarter increased 11.3% to $477.4 million.
Organic growth, which excludes the effect of acquisitions and fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, was 10.7%.
Operating margin decreased to 7.1% from 8.5%.

 

The costs incurred during the quarters related to the Key Initiatives, discussed above, were recorded to the Core Laundry Operations’ segment. Excluding these Key Initiative costs:

 

Core Laundry adjusted operating margin decreased to 9.2% from 9.9% in prior year. The decrease was primarily due to higher merchandise and energy costs as a percentage of revenues as well as increased costs due to the inflationary environment and the challenging employment landscape, partially offset by lower healthcare claims expense in the quarter.

Specialty Garments

Revenues for the quarter were $44.1 million, an increase of 11.6%, which was driven by growth in the segment's cleanroom and North American nuclear operations.
Operating margin increased to 23.1% from 21.9% a year ago, primarily the result of the strong top-line performance.

 

 

Specialty Garments consists of nuclear decontamination and cleanroom operations, and its results can vary significantly due to seasonality and the timing of reactor outages and projects.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments totaled $351.2 million as of November 26, 2022.
The Company had no long-term debt outstanding as of November 26, 2022.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. As of November 26, 2022, the Company had $63.6 million remaining under its current stock repurchase program.
Weighted average shares outstanding – Diluted for the first quarters of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 were 18.8 million and 19.0 million, respectively.

 

Financial Outlook

 

Mr. Sintros continued, “At this time, we continue to expect our revenues for fiscal 2023 to be between $2.145 billion and $2.160 billion. We further continue to expect diluted earnings per share to be between $5.50 and $5.90. This outlook continues to assume:

 

An estimate of $40.0 million of costs directly attributable to our Key Initiatives that will be expensed in fiscal 2023.
Core Laundry Operations’ adjusted operating margin at the midpoint of the range of 8.1%.
A GAAP and adjusted tax rate of 25.0%.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share between $7.10 and $7.50.
No impact from any future share buybacks or unexpected significantly adverse economic developments.”

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its consolidated financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). To supplement these consolidated financial results, management believes that certain non-GAAP operating results provide a useful measure on which to evaluate and compare the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented. The Company believes these non-GAAP results provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance to both management and investors by excluding certain non-recurring amounts that impact the comparability of the results. A supplemental reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated operating income, consolidated net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on a GAAP basis to adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS on a non-GAAP basis is presented in the following table. In addition, Core Laundry Operations’ operating income and operating margin on a GAAP basis to adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin on a non-GAAP basis is also presented in the following table. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are provided below.
