TO
CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts
in thousands except per share data)
1. |
Basis
of Presentation
|
The
consolidated condensed financial statements of Cintas Corporation (Cintas)
included herein have been prepared by Cintas, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. While we
believe that the disclosures are adequately presented, it is suggested that
these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our most recent
Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006. A summary of our significant
accounting policies is presented on page 36 of that report. There has been
no
material changes in the accounting policies followed by Cintas during the fiscal
year, with the exception of the new accounting standard discussed in Note 2
below.
Interim
results are subject to variations and are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for a full fiscal year. In the opinion of management,
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a
fair statement of the consolidated results of the interim periods shown have
been made.
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.
2. |
New
Accounting Standard
|
At
February 28, 2007, Cintas had an equity compensation plan, which is described
in
Note 6. Prior to June 1, 2006, Cintas accounted for this plan under the
intrinsic value method proscribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees,
and
related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation.
Effective June 1, 2006, Cintas adopted the fair value recognition provisions
of
FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment,
using
the modified-retrospective transition method. Under that transition method,
all
prior periods have been restated based
on
the amounts previously calculated in the pro forma footnote disclosures required
by Statement 123. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to
employees, including stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the
statement of income based on their fair values. Due to this restatement, Cintas’
income before income taxes and net income decreased by $1,151 for the three
months ended February 28, 2006, and $3,396 for the nine months ended February
28, 2006. This adoption lowered basic earnings per share for the third quarter
of fiscal 2006 from $0.47 per share to $0.46 per share for the quarter.
Likewise, diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were
lowered from $0.46 per share to $0.45 for the quarter. This adoption also
lowered basic earnings per share year-to-date from $1.40 per share to $1.38
per
share. In addition, diluted earnings per share year-to-date were lowered from
$1.39 per share to $1.37 per share. The cumulative effect of the change on
total
shareholders’ equity as of May 31, 2006, was less than $1,000.
As
a
result of adopting Statement 123(R) on June 1, 2006, Cintas’ income before
income taxes and net income for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, are
$2,746 and $1,739 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account
for
share-based compensation under Opinion 25. Basic earnings per share are $.02
lower and diluted earnings per share are $.01 lower for the nine months ended
February 28, 2007, than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based
compensation under Opinion 25.

Debt,
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
|
On
August
15, 2006, Cintas issued $250,000 of senior notes due in 2036. This debt bears
an
interest rate of 6.15% paid semi-annually beginning February 15, 2007. The
proceeds generated from the offering were used to repay a portion of our
outstanding commercial paper borrowings.
Cintas
formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged
items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
various hedge transactions. Cintas’ hedging activities are transacted only with
highly-rated institutions, reducing the exposure to credit risk in the event
of
nonperformance. Cintas periodically uses derivatives for fair value hedging
and
cash flow hedging purposes. There were no fair value hedges in place as of
February 28, 2007.
Cash
flow
hedges are derivative instruments that hedge the exposure of variability in
short-term interest rates. These agreements effectively convert a portion of
the
floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest
rate changes on future interest expense. The effective portion of the net gain
or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other
comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or
periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains or losses
on
the ineffective portion of the hedge are charged to earnings in the current
period. When outstanding, the effectiveness of these derivative instruments
is
reviewed at least every fiscal quarter. Examples of cash flow hedging
instruments that Cintas may use are interest rate swaps, lock agreements and
forward starting swaps. There were no interest rate swap or lock agreements
outstanding as of February 28, 2007. There was a cash settled forward starting
swap in place as of February 28, 2007, which is discussed below.
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Cintas entered into a cash settled forward
starting swap to protect forecasted interest payments from interest rate
movement for an anticipated $200,000 debt issuance in fiscal 2008. The
Hypothetical Derivative Method is used to measure hedge effectiveness. Cintas
expects the forward starting swap to be perfectly effective as the critical
terms of the anticipated debt issuance will perfectly offset the hedged cash
flows of the forecasted interest payments. When the $200,000 of hedged debt
is
issued, the lender will make a payment to Cintas if the 30-year Treasury rate
has increased since the inception of the cash settled forward starting swap.
Conversely, if the 30-year Treasury rate decreases during that period, Cintas
will pay the lender. The value of the cash settled forward starting swap prior
to the debt issuance is recorded in other comprehensive income in shareholders’
equity and other assets or accrued liabilities depending on the value of the
swap at the end of each reporting period. Once the debt is issued, the value
of
the forward starting swap will be settled with cash and will be amortized to
earnings over the term of the debt issuance.
Cintas
used interest rate lock agreements to hedge against movements in the treasury
rates at the time Cintas issued its senior notes, both for the senior notes
issued in fiscal 2002 and the senior notes issued in fiscal 2007. The
amortization of the cash flow hedges resulted in a credit to other comprehensive
income of $104 for the three months ended February 28, 2007, and $281 for the
nine months ended February 28, 2007.
Cintas
has certain significant covenants related to debt agreements. These covenants
limit Cintas’ ability to incur certain liens, to engage in sale-leaseback
transactions and to merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of
Cintas’ assets. These covenants also require Cintas to maintain certain debt to
capitalization and interest coverage ratios. Cross default provisions exist
between certain debt instruments. Cintas is in compliance with all of the
significant debt covenants for all periods presented. Were a default of a
significant covenant to occur, the default could result in an acceleration
of
indebtedness, impair liquidity and limit the ability to raise future capital.
Cintas’ debt, net of cash and marketable securities, is $726,022 as of February
28, 2007. For the nine months ended February 28, 2007, net cash provided by
operating activities was $322,077 and capital expenditures were
$128,636.

Stock-Based
Compensation
|
Under
the
2005 equity compensation plan, which was approved by shareholders and adopted
by
Cintas in fiscal 2006, Cintas may grant officers and key employees equity
compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
and unrestricted stock, performance awards and other stock unit awards up to
an
aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of Cintas' common stock. The compensation cost
charged against income was $1,497 and $1,462 for the three month periods ended
February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, respectively. The compensation cost
charged against income was $2,746 and $4,507 for the nine month periods ended
February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, respectively. The amount recorded
in
the nine month period ended February 28, 2007, reflects a cumulative catch-up
adjustment of $2,169 ($2,088 after tax), due to a change in the estimated
forfeitures for certain existing stock option and restricted stock grants.
Basic
and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended February 28, 2007,
are
both $.01 higher, respectively, due to this change in estimated forfeitures.
The
total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based
compensation arrangements was $310 and $117 for the three month periods ended
February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and was $1,007 and $418 for the nine
month periods ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Stock
Options
Stock
options are granted at the fair market value of the underlying common stock
on
the date of grant. The option terms are determined by the Cintas Compensation
Committee, but no stock option may be exercised later than ten years after
the
date of the grant. The option awards generally have ten year terms with graded
vesting in years five through ten based on continuous service during that
period. Cintas recognizes compensation expense for these options using the
straight-line recognition method over the vesting period.
The
fair
value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The
risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. government issues with a remaining
term
equal to the expected life of the stock options. The determination of expected
volatility is based on historical volatility of Cintas stock over the period
commensurate with the expected term of stock options, as well as other relevant
factors. The weighted average expected term was determined based on the
historical employee exercise behavior of the options. The weighted-average
grant
date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended February
28, 2007, was $17.39 and was $20.95 for the three months ended February 28,
2006. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during
the nine months ended February 28, 2007, was $16.02 and was $20.95 for the
nine
months ended February 28, 2006.

information presented in the following table relates primarily to stock options
granted and outstanding under either the plan adopted in fiscal 2006 or under
previously adopted plans:

The
remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options
and
restricted stock at February 28, 2007, was approximately $41,639, and the
weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is
3.7
years.
Cintas
reserves shares of common stock to satisfy share option exercises and/or future
restricted stock grants. At
February, 2007, 13,205,262 shares of common stock are reserved for future
issuance under the 2005 plan.
During
fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved
a
resolution to accelerate the vesting for certain “out-of-the-money” options. The
“out-of-the-money” options that were accelerated were provided to employees
during fiscal 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The Compensation Committee approved
this acceleration in order to provide these employees the increased benefit
of
exercising these options when they become “in-the-money” and to avoid
recognizing future compensation expense related to outstanding options under
Statement 123(R). After amendment of all underlying option agreements,
compensation expense to be recognized in the statement of income during the
first year of adoption of Statement 123(R) was reduced by approximately
$3,500.

Comprehensive
Income
|
Total
comprehensive income represents the net change in shareholders' equity during
a
period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such,
includes net earnings. For Cintas, the only components of total comprehensive
income are the change in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments,
the change in the fair value of derivatives and the change in the fair value
of
available-for-sale securities. The components of comprehensive income for the
three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006

Litigation
and Other Contingencies
|
Cintas
is
subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from the ordinary course of
its
business, including personal injury, customer contract, environmental and
employment claims. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if
any, with respect to such ordinary course of business actions, will not have
a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of
operations of Cintas. Cintas is party to additional litigation not considered
in
the ordinary course of business, including the litigation discussed below.
Cintas
is
a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Paul
Veliz, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
filed
on March 19, 2003, in the United States District Court, Northern District of
California, Oakland Division, alleging that Cintas violated certain federal
and
state wage and hour laws applicable to its service sales representatives, whom
Cintas considers exempt employees, and asserting additional related ERISA
claims. On August 23, 2005, an amended complaint was filed alleging additional
state law wage and hour claims under the following state laws: Arkansas, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The
plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief or both.
Cintas denies these claims and is defending the plaintiffs’ allegations. On
February 14, 2006, the court ordered a majority of the opt-in plaintiffs to
arbitrate their claims in accordance with the terms of their Cintas employment
agreement. On February 14, 2006, the court also permitted plaintiffs to file
a
second amended complaint alleging state law claims in the 15 states listed
above
only with respect to the putative class members that may litigate their claims
in court. No determination has been made by the court or an arbitrator regarding
class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be
certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope
of
such class. If a court or arbitrator certifies a class in this action and there
is an adverse verdict on the merits, or in the event of a negotiated settlement
of the action, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations
on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability
relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.
Cintas
also is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Mirna
E. Serrano, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
filed
on May 10, 2004, and pending in the United States District Court, Eastern
District of Michigan, Southern Division (“Serrano”).
Serrano
alleges
that Cintas discriminated against women in
13

CORPORATION

(Unaudited)
(In
thousands except per share data)
hiring
into various SSR positions across all divisions of Cintas throughout the United
States. On November 15, 2005, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(“EEOC”) intervened in the Serrano
lawsuit.
The Serrano
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages,
attorneys’ fees and other remedies. Cintas is a defendant in another purported
class action lawsuit, Nelly
Blanca Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
currently pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of
Michigan, Southern Division (“Avalos”).
Avalos
alleges
that Cintas discriminated against women, African-Americans and Hispanics in
hiring into various SSR positions in Cintas’ Rental division only throughout the
United States. On April 27, 2005, the EEOC intervened in the claims asserted
in
Avalos.
The
Avalos
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages,
attorneys’ fees and other remedies. The claims in Avalos
originally were brought in the previously disclosed lawsuit captioned
Robert
Ramirez, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
filed
on January 20, 2004, in the United States District Court, Northern District
of
California, San Francisco Division (“Ramirez”).
On
May 11, 2006, however, those claims were severed from Ramirez
and
transferred to the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, where the
case was re-named Avalos.
On July
10, 2006, Avalos
and
Serrano
were
consolidated for all pretrial purposes, including proceedings on class
certification. The consolidated case is known as Mirna
E. Serrano/Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
and
remains pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of
Michigan, Southern Division (“Serrano/Avalos”).
No
filings or determinations have been made in Serrano/Avalos
as to
class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be
certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope
of
such class. The non-SSR hiring claims in the previously disclosed Ramirez
case
that have not been dismissed remain pending in the Northern District of
California, San Francisco Division, but were ordered to arbitration and stayed
pending the completion of arbitration. The Ramirez
purported
class action claims currently in arbitration include allegations that Cintas
failed to promote Hispanics into supervisory positions, discriminated against
African-Americans and Hispanics in SSR route assignments and discriminated
against African-Americans in hourly pay in Cintas’ Rental division only
throughout the United States. The Ramirez
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages,
attorneys’ fees and other remedies. No filings or determinations have been made
in Ramirez
as to
class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be
certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope
of
such class. In addition, a class action lawsuit, Larry
Houston, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, was
filed
on August 3, 2005, in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California on behalf of African-American managers alleging racial
discrimination (“Houston”).
On
November 22, 2005, the court entered an order requiring the named plaintiffs
in
the Houston
lawsuit
to arbitrate all of their claims for monetary damages. If there is an adverse
verdict or a negotiated settlement of all or any of these actions, the resulting
liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could
be
material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is
not
determinable at this time.
Several
other similar administrative
proceedings are pending including two charges filed on November 30, 2004, by
an
EEOC Commissioner with the EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging: (i)
failure to hire and assign females to production job positions; and (ii) failure
to hire females, African-Americans
and Hispanics into the Management Trainee program. The investigations of these
allegations are pending and no determinations have been made. On
August
29, 2006, the
EEOC
Indianapolis District Office issued a dismissal
and notice of rights and closed its file on the Clifton Cooper charge served
on
Cintas
on
March 23, 2005, by
Cooper
on behalf of himself and a similarly situated class with
the
EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging discriminatory pay and treatment due
to
race.
Mr.
Cooper’s claims are now part of the Houston arbitration
matter disclosed hereinabove.
Cintas
is
also a defendant in a lawsuit, J. Lester Alexander, III vs. Cintas
Corporation, et al., which was originally filed on October 25, 2004, and is
currently pending in the Circuit Court of Randolph County, Alabama. The case
was
brought by J. Lester Alexander, III, the Chapter 7 Trustee (the “Trustee”) of
Terry Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("TMC") and Terry Uniform Company, LLC
("TUC"), against Cintas in Randolph County, Alabama. The Trustee seeks damages
against Cintas for allegedly breaching fiduciary duties to TMC and TUC and
for
allegedly aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties by others to
14

(In
thousands except per share data)
those
entities. The complaint also includes allegations that Cintas breached certain
limited liability company agreements, or alternatively, misrepresented its
intention to perform its obligations in those agreements and acted as alter
egos
of the bankrupt TMC and is therefore liable for all of TMC's debts. The Trustee
is seeking $50,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages.
Cintas denies these claims and is vigorously defending itself against all claims
in the complaint. Cintas filed counterclaims against J. Lester Alexander, III
and cross claims against Roy Terry, Rudolph Terry and Cotina Terry (collectively
referred to herein as the Individual Co-Defendants). The Individual
Co-Defendants have filed cross claims against Cintas alleging fraudulent
inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and wantonness. If there is
an
adverse verdict on the merits or in the event of a negotiated settlement of
this
lawsuit, the resulting liability could be material to Cintas. Any estimated
liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.
The
litigation discussed above, if decided adversely to or settled by Cintas, may,
individually or in the aggregate, result in liability material to Cintas’
financial condition or results of operations. Cintas may enter into discussions
regarding settlement of these and other lawsuits, and may enter into settlement
agreements if it believes such settlement is in the best interests of Cintas’
shareholders.

Segment
Information
|
Cintas
classifies its businesses into two operating segments, Rentals and Other
Services, based on the similar economic characteristics of the products and
services within each segment. The Rentals operating segment reflects the rental
and servicing of uniforms and other garments, mats, mops and shop towels. In
addition to these rental items, restroom and hygiene products and services
are
also provided within this segment. The Other Services operating segment consists
of the direct sale of uniforms and related items, first aid, safety and fire
protection products and services, document management services and branded
promotional products. Both segments provide these products and services
throughout the United States and Canada to businesses of all types - from small
service and manufacturing companies to major corporations that employ thousands
of people.
Information
as to the operations of Cintas’ different business segments is set forth below
based on the distribution of products and services offered. Cintas evaluates
performances based on several factors of which the primary financial measures
are business segment revenue and income before income taxes.

CINTAS
CORPORATION
ITEM
2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
BUSINESS
STRATEGY
Cintas
provides highly specialized products and services to businesses of all types
throughout the United States and Canada. We are North America's leading provider
of corporate identity uniforms through rental and sales programs, as well as
a
significant provider of related business services, including entrance mats,
restroom products and services, first aid, safety and fire protection products
and services, document management services and branded promotional products.
Our
products and services are designed to enhance our customers’ images and to
provide additional safety and protection in the workplace.
Our
business strategy is to increase our market share of the uniform rental and
sales business in North America through the sale of new uniform programs and
to
provide our customers with all of the products and services we offer. We will
also continue to identify additional product and service opportunities for
our
current and future customers. Our long-term goal is to provide a product or
service to every business in North America.
To
pursue
this strategy, we focus on the development of a highly talented and diverse
team
of employees (whom we call partners) - a team that is properly trained and
motivated to service our customers. We support our partners' service efforts
by
providing superior products with distinct competitive advantages, and we embrace
technological advances.
Continuous
cost containment and product and process innovation are considered hallmarks
of
our organization. In order to sustain these efforts, we employ a Six Sigma
effort within Cintas. Six Sigma is an analytical process that assists companies
in improving quality and customer satisfaction while reducing cycle time and
operating costs. We are pleased with our progress in this endeavor and are
optimistic about the improved efficiencies that this process has and will
continue to yield to Cintas.
We
continue to leverage our size and core competencies to become a more valued
business service provider to our current and future customers. We will also
continue to supplement our internal growth with strategic acquisitions and
the
cultivation of new businesses.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Cintas
classifies its businesses into two operating segments, Rentals and Other
Services, based on the similar economic characteristics of the products and
services within each segment. The Rentals operating segment reflects the rental
and servicing of uniforms and other garments, mats, mops and shop towels. In
addition to these rental items, we also provide our restroom and hygiene
products and services within this segment. The Other Services operating segment
consists of the direct sale of uniforms and related items, first aid, safety
and
fire protection products and services, document management services and branded
promotional products. Both segments provide these products and services
throughout the United States and Canada to businesses of all types - from small
service and manufacturing companies to major corporations that employ thousands
of people.
New
Accounting Pronouncement
At
February 28, 2007, Cintas had an equity compensation plan, which is more fully
described in Note 6 entitled Stock-Based Compensation of “Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.” Prior to June 1, 2006, Cintas accounted for this plan
under the intrinsic value method proscribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees,
and
related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation.
Effective June 1, 2006, Cintas adopted the fair value recognition provisions
of
FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment,
using
the
25
modified-retrospective
transition method. Under that transition method, all prior periods have been
restated based
on
the amounts previously calculated in the pro forma footnote disclosures required
by Statement 123. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to
employees, including stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the
statement of income based on their fair values. Due to this restatement, Cintas’
income before income taxes and net income decreased by $1.2 million for the
three months ended February 28, 2006, and $3.4 million for the nine months
ended
February 28, 2006. This adoption lowered basic earnings per share for the third
quarter of fiscal 2006 from $0.47 per share to $0.46 per share for the quarter.
Likewise, diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were
lowered from $0.46 per share to $0.45 for the quarter. This adoption also
lowered basic earnings per share year-to-date from $1.40 per share to $1.38
per
share. In addition, diluted earnings per share year-to-date were lowered from
$1.39 per share to $1.37 per share. The cumulative effect of the change on
total
shareholders’ equity as of May 31, 2006, was less than $1,000.
As
a
result of adopting Statement 123(R) on June 1, 2006, Cintas’ income before
income taxes and net income for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, are
$2.7 million and $1.7 million lower than if Cintas had continued to account
for
share-based compensation under Opinion 25. Basic earnings per share are $.02
lower and diluted earnings per share are $.01 lower for the nine months ended
February 28, 2007, than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based
compensation under Opinion 25.
Three
Months Ended February 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended February
2006
Revenue,
Expenses and Income
Revenue
Comparison
Total
revenue increased 8.2% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, over the
same period in fiscal 2006. Internal growth for this period was 4.5%. The
remaining 3.7% represents growth derived mainly through the acquisitions of
uniform and mat rental businesses in our Rentals segment and acquisitions of
first aid, safety and fire protection businesses and document management
businesses within our Other Services segment.
Net
Rentals revenue increased 5.4% for the three months ended February 28, 2007,
over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Rentals operating segment
internal growth for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 3.0% as compared to
the
three months ended February 28, 2006. The Net Rentals revenue internal growth
is
primarily due to the sale of new rental programs to customers, offset by lost
business. The remaining growth was generated primarily through the acquisition
of uniform and mat rental businesses.
Other
Services revenue increased 16.9% for the three months ended February 28, 2007,
over the same period in the prior year. Other Services operating segment
internal growth for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 9.3% as compared to
the
three months ended February 28, 2006. This internal growth was generated
primarily through the increased direct sale of uniforms to national customers
and increased sales of first aid and safety products and services and document
management services to customers. The additional growth was generated through
a
combination of acquisitions of first aid, safety and fire protection businesses
and document management businesses.
Expense
Comparison
Cost
of
rentals consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the
amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels
and
other rental items. Cost of rentals increased 5.9% for the three months ended
February 28, 2007, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006.
This
increase reflects a rise in material costs of $8.6 million due to increased
Rentals revenue and an increase in delivery labor of $8.7 million due to
increased Rentals revenue and the introduction of our restroom cleaning service.
These increases were offset by an 8.2% decrease in Rentals energy costs from
approximately $28 million in the three months ended February 28, 2006, to
approximately $26 million in the three months ended February 28, 2007.
26
Cost
of
other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms
and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses. Cost
of
other services increased 11.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2007,
as
compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006. This increase was mainly
due to increased sales in this segment. Gross margin within this segment may
fluctuate depending on the type of product or service sold, as more cost
efficient sourcing is employed and as products which require additional services
or specialization generate higher gross margins. For example, tailored garments
that incorporate high levels of design and customization tend to generate higher
gross margins than work wear and standard catalog items. The current quarter’s
gross margin is 38.1%, which is slightly higher than the expected range of
32%
to 37% for this segment. However, the gross margin for the nine months ended
February 28, 2007, continues to be within the expected range.
Selling
and administrative expenses increased 12.8% for the three months ended February
28, 2007, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006. In order
to
accelerate revenue growth, we continue to increase our sales force, marketing
plans and sales promotions. We have also reorganized our sales efforts this
fiscal year to become more efficient and productive. These measures combined
to
increase our selling costs by $10.7 million over the prior year. The cost of
providing medical and retirement benefits to our employees increased $7.4
million, representing a 21.4% increase over the prior year. In addition,
administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million as a result of an increase
in
professional services relating to legal and the outsourcing of certain human
resource functions. Administrative expenses also increased by $1.9 million
due
to the amortization of intangibles obtained with new acquisitions.
Net
interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $10.2 million
for
the three months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $5.3 million for the
same
period in the prior fiscal year. This increase in net interest expense is
primarily due to the increased level of borrowing used to fund acquisitions
and
to fund the stock buyback program.
Cintas’
effective tax rate is 37.3% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, which
is consistent with the first half of fiscal 2007. This effective tax rate is
lower than the effective tax rate of 37.8% for the three months ended February
28, 2006, as a result of changes in state tax rates.
Income
Comparison
Net
income increased 0.2% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, over the
same period in fiscal 2006, primarily due to revenue growth. Diluted earnings
per share increased 6.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, over
the
same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is greater than the net
income increase of 0.2% due to the impact of the stock buyback program.
Nine
Months Ended February 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended February
2006
Revenue,
Expenses and Income
Revenue
Comparison
Total
revenue increased 9.9% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, over the
same period in fiscal 2006. Internal growth for this period was 5.6%. The
remaining 4.3% represents growth derived mainly through the acquisitions of
uniform and mat rental businesses in our Rentals segment and acquisitions of
first aid, safety and fire protection businesses and document management
businesses within our Other Services segment.
Net
Rentals revenue increased 7.8% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007,
over
the same period in the prior fiscal year. Rentals operating segment internal
growth through the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 4.8% as compared to the
nine
months ended February 28, 2006. The net Rentals revenue growth is primarily
due
to the sale of new rental programs to customers, offset by lost business. The
remaining growth was generated primarily through the acquisition of uniform
and
mat rental businesses.
27
Other
Services revenue increased 16.6% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007,
over the same period in the prior year. Other Services operating segment
internal growth through the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 8.2% as compared
to
the nine months ended February 28, 2006. This internal growth was generated
primarily through the increased direct sale of uniforms to national customers
and increased sales of first aid and safety products and services and document
management services to customers. The additional growth was generated through
a
combination of acquisitions of first aid, safety and fire protection businesses
and document management businesses.
Expense
Comparison
Cost
of
rentals consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the
amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels
and
other rental items. Cost of rentals increased 8.6% for the nine months ended
February 28, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006,
reflecting the growth in Rentals revenue. In addition, we incurred $3.7 million
in impairment and other related charges due to the closing of a Detroit,
Michigan Rental processing plant. Partially offsetting these increased costs
was
an insurance recovery of $1.9 million representing receipt of the final
settlement of our claims related to the hurricanes which occurred in fiscal
2006. As a result of these items, cost of rentals increased as a percent of
Rentals revenue to 55.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, as
compared to 55.0% for the nine months ended February 28, 2006.
Cost
of
other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms
and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses. Cost
of
other services increased 12.3% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007,
as
compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006. This increase was mainly
due to increased sales in this segment. Gross margin within this segment may
fluctuate depending on the type of product or service sold, as more cost
efficient sourcing is employed and as products which require additional services
or specialization generate higher gross margins. For example, tailored garments
that incorporate high levels of design and customization tend to generate higher
gross margins than work wear and standard catalog items. The gross margin for
the nine months ended February 28, 2007, is 36.7%, which is in line with the
expected range of 32% to 37% for this segment.
Selling
and administrative expenses increased 11.3% for the nine months ended February
28, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006. Selling and
administrative expenses as a percent of revenue increased 0.4% for the nine
months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended February
28, 2006. In order to accelerate revenue growth, we continue to increase our
sales force, marketing plans and sales promotions. We have also reorganized
our
sales efforts this fiscal year to become more efficient and productive. These
measures combined to increase our selling costs by $20.8 million over the prior
year. The cost of providing medical and retirement benefits to our employees
increased $22.2 million, representing a 21.9% increase over the prior year.
In
addition, administrative expenses increased by $6.4 million as a result of
an
increase in professional services relating to legal and the outsourcing of
certain human resource functions. Administrative expenses also increased by
$5.9
million due to the amortization of intangibles obtained with new
acquisitions.
Net
interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $32.0 million
for
the nine months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $17.1 million for the
same
period in the prior fiscal year. This increase in net interest expense is
primarily due to the increased level of borrowing used to fund acquisitions
and
to fund the stock buyback program.
Cintas’
effective tax rate is 37.3% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007. This
effective tax rate is lower than the effective tax rate of 37.6% for the nine
months ended February 28, 2006, as a result of changes in state tax
rates.
Income
Comparison
Net
income increased 5.3% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, over the
same
period in fiscal 2006, primarily due to revenue growth. Diluted earnings per
share increased 10.9% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, over the
same
period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is greater than the net income
increase of 5.3% due to the impact of the stock buyback program.
28
Financial Condition
At
February 28, 2007, there was $157 million in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, a decrease of $84 million from May 31, 2006. This
decrease was primarily due to pre-funding of employee medical costs and the
purchasing of our company stock, as discussed below. Capital expenditures were
approximately $129 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2007. We
expect capital expenditures for the year to be between $160 and $170 million.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to be used to
finance future acquisitions, capital expenditures, expansion and additional
purchases under the stock buyback program as detailed below. We believe that
our
current cash position, funds generated from operations and the strength of
our
banking relationships provides sufficient means to meet our anticipated
operational and capital requirements.
Net
property and equipment increased by $37 million from May 31, 2006 to February
28, 2007, due to our continued investment in rental facilities and equipment.
At
the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2007, Cintas had three uniform rental
facilities under construction.
In
May,
2005, the Board of Directors authorized and announced a $500 million stock
buyback program. This program was essentially completed during the first quarter
of fiscal 2007. The Board of Directors approved an expansion of this share
buyback program in July, 2006 by an additional $500 million. For the three
months ended February 28, 2007, Cintas purchased approximately 1.4 million
shares of Cintas stock at an average price of $40.68 per share for a total
purchase price of approximately $57 million. From the inception of the stock
buyback program through February 28, 2007, Cintas has purchased a total of
approximately 14.2 million shares of Cintas stock, or approximately 8% of the
total shares outstanding at the beginning of the program, at an average price
of
$40.89 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $580 million.

Cintas
also makes payments to defined contribution plans. The amounts of contributions
made to the plans are made at the discretion of Cintas. Future contributions
are
assumed to increase 15% annually. Assuming this 15% increase, payments due
in
one year or less would be $31,791, two to three years would be $78,602 and
four

Cintas
has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than a synthetic lease on a
corporate jet. The synthetic lease on the aircraft does not currently have,
and
is not reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on Cintas’
financial condition, changes in Cintas’ financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources.
Litigation
and Other Contingencies
Cintas
is
subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from the ordinary course of
its
business, including personal injury, customer contract, environmental and
employment claims. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if
any, with respect to such ordinary course of business actions, will not have
a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of
operations of Cintas. Cintas is party to additional litigation not considered
in
the ordinary course of business, including the litigation discussed below.
Cintas
is
a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Paul
Veliz, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
filed
on March 19, 2003, in the United States District Court, Northern District of
California, Oakland Division, alleging that Cintas violated certain federal
and
state wage and hour laws applicable to its service sales representatives, whom
Cintas considers exempt employees, and asserting additional related ERISA
claims. On August 23, 2005, an amended complaint was filed alleging additional
state law wage and hour claims under the following state laws: Arkansas, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The
plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief or both.
Cintas denies these claims and is defending the plaintiffs’ allegations. On
February 14, 2006, the court ordered a majority of the opt-in plaintiffs to
arbitrate their claims in accordance with the terms of their Cintas employment
agreement. On February 14, 2006, the court also permitted plaintiffs to file
a
second amended complaint alleging state law claims in the 15 states listed
above
only with respect to the putative class members that may litigate their claims
in court. No determination has been made by the court or an arbitrator regarding
class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be
certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of
such class. If a court or arbitrator certifies a class in this action and there
is an adverse verdict on the merits, or in the event of a negotiated settlement
of the action, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations
on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability
relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.
Cintas
also is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Mirna
E. Serrano, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
filed
on May 10, 2004, and pending in the United States District Court, Eastern
District of Michigan, Southern Division (“Serrano”).
Serrano
alleges
that Cintas discriminated against women in hiring
into various SSR positions across all divisions of Cintas throughout the United
States. On November 15, 2005, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(“EEOC”) intervened in the Serrano
lawsuit.
The Serrano
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages,
attorneys’ fees and other remedies. Cintas is a defendant in another purported
class action lawsuit, Nelly
Blanca Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
currently pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of
Michigan, Southern Division (“Avalos”).
Avalos
alleges
that Cintas discriminated against
30
women,
African-Americans and Hispanics in hiring into various SSR positions in Cintas’
Rental division only throughout the United States. On April 27, 2005, the EEOC
intervened in the claims asserted in Avalos.
The
Avalos
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages,
attorneys’ fees and other remedies. The claims in Avalos
originally were brought in the previously disclosed lawsuit captioned
Robert
Ramirez, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
filed
on January 20, 2004, in the United States District Court, Northern District
of
California, San Francisco Division (“Ramirez”).
On
May 11, 2006, however, those claims were severed from Ramirez
and
transferred to the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, where the
case was re-named Avalos.
On July
10, 2006, Avalos
and
Serrano
were
consolidated for all pretrial purposes, including proceedings on class
certification. The consolidated case is known as Mirna
E. Serrano/Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
and
remains pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of
Michigan, Southern Division (“Serrano/Avalos”).
No
filings or determinations have been made in Serrano/Avalos
as to
class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be
certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope
of
such class. The non-SSR hiring claims in the previously disclosed Ramirez
case
that have not been dismissed remain pending in the Northern District of
California, San Francisco Division, but were ordered to arbitration and stayed
pending the completion of arbitration. The Ramirez
purported
class action claims currently in arbitration include allegations that Cintas
failed to promote Hispanics into supervisory positions, discriminated against
African-Americans and Hispanics in SSR route assignments and discriminated
against African-Americans in hourly pay in Cintas’ Rental division only
throughout the United States. The Ramirez
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages,
attorneys’ fees and other remedies. No filings or determinations have been made
in Ramirez
as to
class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be
certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope
of
such class. In addition, a class action lawsuit, Larry
Houston, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, was
filed
on August 3, 2005, in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of California on behalf of African-American managers alleging racial
discrimination (“Houston”).
On
November 22, 2005, the court entered an order requiring the named plaintiffs
in
the Houston
lawsuit
to arbitrate all of their claims for monetary damages. If there is an adverse
verdict or a negotiated settlement of all or any of these actions, the resulting
liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could
be
material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is
not
determinable at this time.
Several
other similar administrative proceedings are pending including two charges
filed
on November 30, 2004, by an EEOC Commissioner with the EEOC Systemic Litigation
Unit alleging: (i) failure to hire and assign females to production job
positions; and (ii) failure to hire females, African-Americans and Hispanics
into the Management Trainee program. The investigations of these allegations
are
pending and no determinations have been made. On
August
29, 2006, the EEOC Indianapolis District Office issued a dismissal and notice
of
rights and closed its file on the Clifton Cooper charge served on Cintas on
March 23, 2005, by Cooper on behalf of himself and a similarly situated class
with the EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging discriminatory pay and treatment
due to race. Mr. Cooper’s claims are now part of the Houston
arbitration matter disclosed hereinabove.
Cintas
is
also a defendant in a lawsuit, J.
Lester Alexander, III vs. Cintas Corporation, et al.,
which
was originally filed on October 25, 2004, and is currently pending in the
Circuit Court of Randolph County, Alabama. The case was brought by J. Lester
Alexander, III, the Chapter 7 Trustee (the “Trustee”) of Terry Manufacturing
Company, Inc. ("TMC") and Terry Uniform Company, LLC ("TUC"), against Cintas
in
Randolph County, Alabama. The Trustee seeks damages against Cintas for allegedly
breaching fiduciary duties to TMC and TUC and for allegedly aiding and abetting
breaches of fiduciary duties by others to those
entities. The complaint also includes allegations that Cintas breached certain
limited liability company agreements, or alternatively, misrepresented its
intention to perform its obligations in those agreements and acted as alter
egos
of the bankrupt TMC and is therefore liable for all of TMC's debts. The Trustee
is seeking $50 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive
damages. Cintas denies these claims and is vigorously defending itself against
all claims in the complaint. Cintas filed counterclaims against J. Lester
Alexander, III and cross claims against Roy Terry, Rudolph Terry and Cotina
Terry (collectively referred to herein as the Individual Co-Defendants). The
Individual Co-Defendants have filed cross claims against Cintas alleging
fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and wantonness.
If
there is an adverse verdict on the merits or in the event of a negotiated
settlement of this lawsuit, the resulting liability could be material to Cintas.
Any estimated liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this
time.
31
The
litigation discussed above, if decided adversely to or settled by Cintas, may,
individually or in the aggregate, result in liability material to Cintas’
financial condition or results of operations. Cintas may enter into discussions
regarding settlement of these and other lawsuits, and may enter into settlement
agreements if it believes such settlement is in the best interests of Cintas’
shareholders.
Outlook
As
we
look forward to the remainder of fiscal 2007, our outlook remains positive,
but
guarded. In an effort to further increase our revenue, we have reorganized
our
sales efforts to become more efficient and productive. In the short term, this
change has caused disruption due to the promotion of many high-performing sales
reps into management jobs, the time to train them in their new roles and the
time necessary to develop their newly hired replacements. We anticipate the
full
benefit of this new organization will be felt as these new sales representatives
become fully productive. We
will
also continue searching out additional products and services to become an even
more valuable resource for our customers. As such, we see upside potential
for
all of our business units. Although difficult to predict, we anticipate
continued growth in all of our business units.
In
the
marketplace, competition and related pricing pressure will continue; however,
we
believe cost containment initiatives, technological advances and continued
leverage of our infrastructure will soften or offset any impact.
When
appropriate opportunities arise, we will supplement our internal growth with
strategic acquisitions.
Like
most
other companies, we experienced, and anticipate continuing to experience,
increased costs for wages and benefits, including medical benefits. Changes
in
energy costs and changes in federal and state tax laws also impact our
results.
For
the
remainder of fiscal year 2007, we expect our effective tax rate to be consistent
with that of the nine months ended February 28, 2007.
We
will
continue to evaluate the opportunities for executing the stock buyback program
that was approved by the Board of Directors in May, 2005 and expanded in the
first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Cintas
continues to be the target of a corporate unionization campaign by Unite Here
and the Teamsters unions. These unions are attempting to pressure Cintas into
surrendering our employees' rights to a government-supervised election and
unilaterally accept union representation. Cintas' philosophy in regard to unions
is straightforward: We believe that employees have the right to say yes to
union
representation and the freedom to say no. This campaign could be materially
disruptive to our business and could materially adversely affect results of
operations. We will continue to vigorously oppose this campaign and to defend
our employees' rights.
We
believe that the high level of customer service provided by our partners and
supported by our infrastructure, quality products, financial resources and
corporate culture will provide for continued business success. However, a number
of factors influence future revenue, margins and profit which make forecasting
difficult.
32
ITEM
3.
QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
In
our
normal operations, Cintas has market risk exposure to interest rates. This
market risk exposure to interest rates has been previously disclosed on page
28
of our most recent Form 10-K.
Through
its foreign operations, Cintas is exposed to foreign currency risk. Foreign
currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other
than
the functional currency and from foreign denominated revenue and profit
translated into U.S. dollars. The primary foreign currency to which Cintas
is
exposed is the Canadian dollar. Cintas does not currently use forward exchange
contracts to limit potential losses in earnings or cash flows from foreign
currency exchange rate movements.
ITEM
4.
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
With
the
participation of Cintas’ management, including Cintas’ Chief Executive Officer
and President, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Controllers, Cintas
has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) as of February 28, 2007. Based on such evaluation, Cintas’ management,
including Cintas’ Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Financial
Officer, General Counsel and Controllers, have concluded that Cintas’ disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of February 28, 2007, in ensuring
(i)
information required to be disclosed by Cintas in the reports that it files
or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii)
information required to be disclosed by Cintas in the reports that it files
or
submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Cintas’
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in Cintas’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal
quarter ended February 28, 2007, that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. See “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting” and “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” on
pages 29 and 30 of our most recent Form 10-K.
33
Forward-Looking
Statements
The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor from
civil litigation for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by words such as “estimates,” “anticipates,”
“projects,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “could,”
“should,” “may” and “will” or the negative versions thereof and similar
expressions and by the context in which they are used. Such statements are
based upon current expectations of Cintas and speak only as of the date
made. These statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and
other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those set forth
in
or implied by this Quarterly Report. Factors that might cause such a
difference include, but are not limited to, the possibility of greater than
anticipated operating costs including energy costs, lower sales volumes, the
performance and costs of
integration of acquisitions,
fluctuations in costs of materials and labor including increased medical costs,
costs and possible effects of union organizing activities, uncertainties
regarding any existing or newly-discovered expenses and liabilities related
to
environmental compliance and remediation, the cost, results and ongoing
assessment of internal controls for financial reporting required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the initiation or outcome of litigation, higher
assumed sourcing or distribution costs of products, the disruption of operations
from catastrophic events, changes in federal and state tax laws and the
reactions of competitors in terms of price and service. Cintas undertakes
no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances arising after the date on which they are made.
Also
note that we provide a cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and
possibly inaccurate assumptions relevant to our businesses in Part II, Item
1A,
of this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended May 31, 2006. These are factors that, individually or in the aggregate,
we
think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and
historical results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that
it
is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you
should not consider the risk factors identified in Part II, Item 1A, in this
Quarterly Report and in our Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2006, to be
a
complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.
