UniFirst FY 2026: Revenue $2.52B, Net income $109.49M, EPS $6.02— 10-K Summary

What happened

UniFirst reported fiscal 2026 revenue of $2.52 billion, up 3.7% from the prior year. Net income fell 26.2% to $109.49 million and diluted earnings per share, or profit per share, dropped 24.6% to $6.02.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Revenue grew but profit fell sharply, so costs or other charges likely rose faster than sales. That gap matters because a company keeping less profit per sale has less internally generated cash to fund capital spending, which means money for long-term investments.

Analyst inference

Uniform & Facility Service Solutions revenue rose 3.5%, including 3.4% organic growth, which means growth from existing operations rather than acquisitions. First Aid & Safety revenue rose 10.9% on van business growth. Other segment growth was limited by a project wind-down and fewer nuclear reactor outages.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch UniFirst's continued ERP modernization, which means upgrading its company-wide software systems, with supply-chain and procurement capabilities intended to improve inventory use, response times and efficiency. Confirmed
2. Watch whether new-account sales and improved customer retention can keep supporting Uniform & Facility Service Solutions revenue growth of 3.5% and 3.4% organic growth into the next period. Proposed
3. Watch whether the 26.2% net income decline persists, since lower profit per sale could reduce cash available for capital spending and investor returns. Analyst inference
