**UNIFIRST ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2026**

**Wilmington, MA – January 7, 2026** – UniFirst Corporation (NYSE: UNF) ("UniFirst" or the "Company") today reported results for its fiscal 2026 first quarter ended November 29, 2025.

**First Quarter 2026 Consolidated Results**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Consolidated revenues increased 2.7% to $621.3 million compared to $604.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by organic growth in the core Uniform & Facility Service Solutions segment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Operating margin was 7.3% compared to 9.2% in the prior year period, reflecting planned investments in growth and digital transformation initiatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Net income was $34.4 million compared to $43.1 million in the prior year period and diluted earnings per share was $1.89 compared to $2.31 in the prior year period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.3% compared to 15.5% in the prior year period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The quarterly tax rate was 26.9% compared to 25.6% in the prior year period.

"Our first quarter performance was consistent with our expectations and reflects the impact of planned investments designed to accelerate growth and enhance operational efficiency," said Steven Sintros, UniFirst President and Chief Executive Officer. "While these initiatives weighed on near-term margins, we believe they position UniFirst for improved profitability over time. Importantly, organic growth driven by new customer wins and improved retention reflects the strength of UniFirst's differentiated, service-driven model focused on reliability, local accountability and long-term relationships."

Mr. Sintros added, "Our flexible balance sheet and cash flow generation enabled us to continue returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and an increased dividend, marking our eighth consecutive year of dividend growth."

The Company's results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025 included approximately $2.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of costs related to its enterprise resource planning project ("Key Initiative"), which is expected to enhance long-term growth, scalability, operating efficiency and profitability. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, these costs decreased:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Both operating income and Adjusted EBITDA by $2.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Net income by $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Diluted earnings per share by $0.09 for both periods.

**Segment Reporting Results**

<u>Uniform & Facility Service Solutions</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Revenues increased 2.4% to $565.9 million compared to $552.8 million in the prior year period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Organic growth, which excludes the effect of acquisitions and fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, was 2.4%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•As a result of our strategic investments in growth, new customer account acquisitions surpassed those of the corresponding period last year, and customer retention rates also demonstrated improvement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Operating margin was 7.4% compared to 8.8% in the prior period and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.6% compared to 15.4% in the prior period, reflecting the Company's planned investments in growth and digital transformation initiatives. In addition, healthcare claims expense and legal costs increased compared to the prior period, partially offset by lower merchandise costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Costs related to the Company's Key Initiative were recorded to this segment and decreased operating and Adjusted EBITDA margins by 0.4% and 0.5% in the first quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

<u>First Aid & Safety Solutions</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Revenues increased 15.3% to $30.2 million compared to $26.2 million in the prior year period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA were $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The segment's results again reflected the investments the Company has made to drive growth and improve profitability in its First Aid van business.

<u>Other</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Revenues for the quarter decreased 2.9% to $25.2 million compared to $25.9 million in the prior year period, reflecting the anticipated start of a large refurbishment project wind-down and fewer reactor outages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were $3.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Due to the high fixed-cost nature of the business, the revenue decline resulted in disproportionately lower Adjusted EBITDA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•This segment consists of its nuclear solutions. Given the cyclical and seasonal nature of the nuclear industry, this segment's results are often affected by seasonality, the timing and duration of power reactor outages and project-based activities.

**Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $129.5 million and the Company had no long-term debt outstanding as of November 29, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Company repurchased $31.7 million of shares of its Common Stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and had $8.9 million remaining under its existing share repurchase authorization as of November 29, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.365 per Common Stock share on October 28, 2025.

**Fiscal 2026 Financial Outlook**

UniFirst reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance provided on October 22, 2025, including consolidated revenues of between $2.475 billion and $2.495 billion and fully diluted earnings per share between $6.58 and $6.98.

This guidance continues to include an estimated $7.0 million of costs directly attributable to the Company's Key Initiative, which it anticipates expensing in fiscal 2026. Guidance does not include the impact of any future share repurchases.

UniFirst Corporation will hold a conference call today at 9:00 a.m. (ET) to discuss its quarterly financial results, business highlights and outlook. A simultaneous live webcast of the call will be available over the Internet and can be accessed at www.unifirst.com.

**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 the Company's consolidated financial results in this press release, the Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for share-based compensation expense and other items impacting the comparability of the Company's underlying operating performance between periods. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA for a period divided by revenue for the same period.

The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of the Company and its segments to both management and investors. In addition, by excluding certain items, these non-GAAP financial measures enable management and investors to further evaluate the underlying operating performance of the Company.

Supplemental reconciliations of the Company's consolidated net income on a GAAP basis to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are presented in the following table. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are provided below. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company does not allocate its provision for income taxes to its business segments and as a result, presents it in a separate column in the following tables.
