UniFirst reports Q3 fiscal 2026 revenue growth but lower profits amid merger costs with Cintas.

UniFirst Corporation reported a 3.9% revenue increase to $634.4 million in Q3 fiscal 2026, driven by organic growth in its core Uniform & Facility Service segment. However, operating income and net income declined significantly due to $20.7 million in merger-related costs with Cintas and other project expenses. The proposed merger with Cintas, approved by UniFirst shareholders, is under regulatory review and expected to close in late 2026. The company remains focused on customer service and operational execution despite the short-term profit impact.
