CINTAS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.             Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated condensed financial statements of Cintas Corporation (Cintas, the Company, we, us or our) included herein have been prepared by Cintas, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010.  A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented beginning on page 39 of that report.  There have been no material changes in the accounting policies followed by Cintas during the current fiscal year.

 

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.

 

 

2.             Fair Value Measurements

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  It also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1 –            Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 –            Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 –             Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Cintas’ assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

All financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) have been segregated into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the consolidated condensed balance sheet date.

Cintas’ cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Cintas does not adjust the quoted market price or the broker or dealer quote for such financial instruments.

 

The funds invested in Canadian marketable securities are not expected to be repatriated, but instead are expected to be invested indefinitely in foreign subsidiaries.  Interest, realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income or expense.  The cost of the securities sold is based on the specific identification method.  The amortized cost basis of the marketable securities as of February 28, 2011 and May 31, 2010, is $32.0 million and $154.9 million, respectively.  All contractual maturities are due within one year.

 

Accounts receivable, net and current accrued liabilities include foreign currency average rate options.  The fair value of Cintas’ foreign currency average rate options are based on similar exchange traded derivatives and are, therefore, included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while Cintas believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the consolidated condensed balance sheet date.

CINTAS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Cintas’ non-financial assets and liabilities not permitted or required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily relate to assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition.  Cintas is required to provide additional disclosures about fair value measurements as part of the consolidated condensed financial statements for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (including business acquisitions).  Based on the nature of Cintas’ business acquisitions, which occur regularly throughout the fiscal year, the majority of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed consist of working capital, primarily valued using Level 2 inputs, property and equipment, also primarily valued using Level 2 inputs and goodwill and other identified intangible assets valued using Level 3 inputs.  In general, non-recurring fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, which generally are not applicable to non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable, such as definitive sales agreements, appraisals or established market values of comparable assets. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability, such as internal estimates of future cash flows.

(1)           Investments at February 28, 2011, include the cash surrender value of insurance policies of $50.1 million, equity method investments of $29.7 million and cost method investments of $2.8 million.  Investments at May 31, 2010, include the cash surrender value of insurance policies of $34.3 million, equity method investments of $30.0 million and cost method investments of $4.3 million.

 

Amortization expense was $32.2 million and $30.6 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Estimated amortization expense, excluding any future acquisitions, for each of the next five years is $41.6 million, $36.1 million, $19.6 million, $16.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively.

 

Investments recorded using the cost method are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or when indicators of impairment are identified.  For the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, no losses due to impairment were recorded.

 

5.             Debt, Derivatives and Hedging Activities

 

Cintas has a commercial paper program with a capacity of $300.0 million that is fully supported by a backup revolving credit facility through a credit agreement with its banking group.  The revolving credit facility has an accordion feature that allows for a maximum borrowing capacity of $450.0 million and an expiration date of September 26, 2014.  As of February 28, 2011, Cintas had $21.5 million of commercial paper outstanding, and at May 31, 2010, no commercial paper was outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Cintas used interest rate lock agreements to hedge against movements in the treasury rates at the time Cintas issued its senior notes in fiscal 2002, fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008. The amortization of the interest rate lock agreements resulted in an increase to other comprehensive income of $0.2 million for both of the three months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $0.6 million for both of the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

To hedge the exposure of movements in the foreign currency rates, Cintas at times uses foreign currency hedges.  These hedges would reduce the impact on cash flows from movements in the foreign currency exchange rates.   Examples of foreign currency hedge instruments that Cintas may use are average rate options and forward contracts.  Cintas had no average rate options included in accounts receivable, net as of February 28, 2011, and $0.5 million included in accounts receivable, net as of May 31, 2010. Cintas had average rate options included in current accrued liabilities of $0.6 million and less than $0.1 million as of February 28, 2011 and May 31, 2010, respectively.  The average rate options that settled during the third quarter increased foreign currency exchange costs by $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The average rate options increased foreign currency exchange costs by less than $0.1 million and by $0.3 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Cintas has certain 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.  If a default of a significant covenant were to occur, the default could result in an acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness, impair liquidity and limit the ability to raise future capital.  As of February 28, 2011, Cintas was in compliance with all significant debt covenants.

 

6.             Income Taxes

 

In the normal course of business, Cintas provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly.  During the three months ended February 28, 2011, unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $1.7 million and accrued interest increased by approximately $0.7 million due to the accrual of additional tax and interest and the reduction of reserves due to the closure of audits and expiration of statutes.  During the nine months ended February 28, 2011, unrecognized tax benefits increased by approximately $0.8 million and accrued interest decreased by approximately $7.2 million due to the expiration of certain statutes.

 

All U.S. federal income tax returns are closed to audit through fiscal 2008.  Cintas is currently in advanced stages of audits in certain foreign jurisdictions and certain domestic states. The years under audit cover fiscal years back to 2001.  Based on the resolution of the various audits, it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $4.0 million for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011.

8.             Litigation and Other Contingencies

 

Cintas is subject to legal proceedings, insurance receipts, legal settlements 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 financial position or results of operation 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, Mirna E. Serrano, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Serrano), filed on May 10, 2004, and pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.  The Serrano plaintiffs alleged that Cintas discriminated against women in hiring into various service sales representative positions across all divisions of Cintas.  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.  On October 27, 2008, the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan granted summary judgment in favor of Cintas limiting the scope of the putative class in the Serrano lawsuit to female applicants for service sales representative positions at Cintas locations within the state of Michigan.  Consequently, all claims brought by female applicants for service sales representative positions outside of the state of Michigan were dismissed.  Similarly, any claims brought by the EEOC on behalf of similarly situated female applicants outside of the state of Michigan have also been dismissed from the Serrano lawsuit.  Cintas is a defendant in another purported class action lawsuit, Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Avalos), which was filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.  The Avalos plaintiffs alleged that Cintas discriminated against women, African-Americans and Hispanics in hiring into various service sales representative positions in Cintas’ Rental division only throughout the United States.  The Avalos plaintiffs sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies.  The claims in Avalos originally were brought in the lawsuit captioned Robert Ramirez, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Ramirez), filed on January 20, 2004, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.  On May 11, 2006, the Ramirez and Avalos African-American, Hispanic and female failure to hire into service sales representative positions claims and the EEOC’s intervention were consolidated for pretrial purposes with the Serrano case and transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division.  The consolidated case was known as Mirna E. Serrano/Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Serrano/Avalos).  On March 31, 2009, the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division entered an order denying class certification to all plaintiffs in the Serrano/Avalos lawsuits.   Following denial of class certification, the Court permitted the individual Avalos and Serrano plaintiffs to proceed separately.  In the Avalos case, the court dismissed the remaining claims of the individual plaintiffs who remained in that case after the denial of class certification.  On May 11, 2010, Plaintiff Tanesha Davis, on behalf of all similarly situated plaintiffs in the Avalos case, filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s summary judgment order in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  The Appellate Court has made no determination regarding the merits of Davis’ appeal.    In September 2010, the Court in Serrano dismissed all private individual claims and all claims of the EEOC and the 13 individuals it claimed to represent.  The EEOC has appealed the District Court’s summary judgment decisions and various other rulings to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.  The Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on the EEOC’s appeal.

 

The litigation discussed above, if decided or settled adversely to Cintas, may, individually or in the aggregate, result in liability material to Cintas’ consolidated financial condition or results of operation and could increase costs of operations on an ongoing basis.  Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is not determinable at this time.  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 interest of Cintas’ shareholders.

 

Cintas is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit, Paul Veliz, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Veliz), 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 April 5, 2004 and February 14, 2006, the Court stayed the claims of all plaintiffs with valid arbitration agreements pending arbitration of those claims.  Claims made in the Veliz action, therefore, are pending before the United States District Court, Northern District of California and Judge Bruce Meyerson (Ret.), an Arbitrator selected by the parties.  On August 5, 2009, the parties in the Veliz action reached a settlement in principle.  That settlement has been granted preliminary approval by the District Court.  When the settlement is fully documented and approved by the Court, the settlement will resolve all claims now pending or that could have been brought relating to the subject matter of the case before the Court and the Arbitrator. The principal terms of the settlement provide for an aggregate cash payment of approximately $24.0 million.  The pre-tax impact, net of insurance proceeds, was $19.5 million.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, on December 17, 2010, Cintas paid $22.8 million to a Court appointed settlement administrator to be held in escrow pending final approval of the settlement by the Court.  Once final approval has been granted by the Court, the settlement administrator will distribute the $22.8 million to the class members under the Court’s supervision.  According to the terms of the settlement agreement, Cintas will pay the remaining settlement funds to satisfy the future income tax liabilities of the class members as they receive their respective shares of the settlement funds.  The balance of the settlement funds will be used to pay the fees and expenses of the settlement administrator.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, Cintas had legal settlements that totaled $4.0 million, net of insurance proceeds.  None of these settlements were significant individually.  These settlements included litigation related to multiple subjects including employment practices and insurance coverage.

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 primarily throughout North America and Latin America, Europe and Asia.  We bring value to our customers by helping them provide a cleaner, safer and more pleasant atmosphere for their customers and employees.  Our products and services are designed to improve our customers’ images.  We also help our customers protect their employees and their company by enhancing workplace safety and helping to ensure legal compliance in key areas of their business.

 

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 cleaning services and supplies, tile and carpet cleaning services, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products.

 

Cintas’ principal objective is “to exceed customers’ expectations in order to maximize the long-term value of Cintas for shareholders and working partners,” and it provides the framework and focus for Cintas’ business strategy.  This strategy is to achieve revenue growth for all of our products and services by increasing our penetration at existing customers and by broadening our customer base to include business segments to which Cintas has not historically served.  We will also continue to identify additional product and service opportunities for our current and future customers.

 

To pursue the strategy of increasing penetration, we have a highly talented and diverse team of service professionals visiting our customers on a regular basis.  This frequent contact with our customers enables us to develop close personal relationships.  The combination of our distribution system and these strong customer relationships provides a platform from which we launch additional products and services.

 

We pursue the strategy of broadening our customer base in several ways.  Cintas has a national sales organization introducing all of its products and services to prospects in all business segments.  Our broad range of products and services allows our sales organization to consider any type of business a prospect.  We also broaden our customer base through geographic expansion, especially in our emerging businesses of first aid and safety, fire protection and document management.  Finally, we evaluate strategic acquisitions as opportunities arise.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Cintas classifies its businesses into four operating segments.  The Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment consists of the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments including flame resistant clothing, mats, mops and shop towels and other ancillary items.  In addition to these rental items, restroom cleaning services and supplies and tile and carpet cleaning services are also provided within this operating segment.  The Uniform Direct Sales operating segment consists of the direct sale of uniforms and related items and branded promotional products.  The First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment consists of first aid, safety and fire protection products and services.  The Document Management Services operating segment consists of document destruction, document imaging and document retention services.  Revenue and income before income taxes for each of these operating segments for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, are presented in Note 9 entitled Segment Information of “Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.”

Consolidated Results

 

Three Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

Total revenue increased 8.8% for the three months ended February 28, 2011, over the same period in the prior fiscal year from $861.8 million to $937.8 million.  The increase primarily resulted from an organic growth increase of 5.5%.  The remaining 3.3% represents growth derived through acquisitions in our Document Management Services operating segment, our First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment and our Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment during the quarter.

 

Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment revenue increased 6.8% for the three months ended February 28, 2011, over the same period in the prior fiscal year from $622.5 million to $665.0 million.  Other Services revenue, consisting of revenue from the reportable operating segments of Uniform Direct Sales, First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services and Document Management Services, increased 14.0% for the three months ended February 28, 2011, over the same period in the prior fiscal year from $239.4 million to $272.9 million.  The increase primarily resulted from an organic growth increase of 8.6%.  The remaining 5.4% represents growth derived through acquisitions in our Document Management Services operating segment and our First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment during the quarter.  The organic growth rate for Other Services revenue for the quarter was due to organic growth in each operating segment making up Other Services.  The organic growth for these operating segments was 8.7% in Uniform Direct Sales, 9.3% in First Aid, Safety and Protection Services and 7.8% in Document Management Services.

 

Cost of rental uniforms and ancillary products consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels and other ancillary items.  Cost of rental uniforms and ancillary products increased $23.5 million, or 6.6%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010.  This increase was due to higher Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment sales volume.

 

Cost of other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses in the Uniform Direct Sales operating segment, the First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment and the Document Management Services operating segment.  Cost of other services increased $20.2 million, or 13.9%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010.  This increase was primarily due to increased Other Services sales volume.

 

Selling and administrative expenses increased $7.4 million, or 2.7%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010.  This increase was due to numerous items including increases in labor and professional services expenses.

 

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $12.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010.  This increase was due to the use of the commercial paper program.

 

Cintas’ effective tax rate increased to 38.9% for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to 32.8% for the prior fiscal year period.  The lower rate during the prior fiscal year period was due to the impact of the closure of certain tax audits during the three months ended February 28, 2010.

 

Net income increased $10.1 million, or 20.6%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011, from the same period in the prior fiscal year.  This increase was primarily due to revenue increasing at a faster rate of 8.8% compared to a 6.6% increase in operating expenses.  Revenue grew at a faster rate due primarily to improvements in sales representative productivity, improved customer retention and improved capacity utilization from the higher revenue levels.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.41 for the three months ended February 28, 2011, which was an increase of 28.1% compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in diluted earnings per share is higher than the increase in net income due to Cintas purchasing 7.7 million shares under the share buyback program this fiscal year.

Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products Operating Segment

 

Three Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

As discussed above, Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment revenue increased from $622.5 million to $665.0 million, or 6.8%, due to improvements in sales representative productivity and improved customer retention.  The operating segment’s gross margin was $284.8 million, or 42.8% of revenue.  This gross margin percent of revenue of 42.8% was relatively consistent with the prior fiscal year’s third quarter of 42.7%.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $199.2 million, or 30.0% of revenue.  This is a decrease of $2.2 million compared to last fiscal year primarily due to a decrease of $1.5 million in amortization expense.

 

Income before income taxes increased $21.2 million to $85.6 million for the Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment for the quarter compared to the same quarter last fiscal year.  Income before income taxes was 12.9% of the operating segment’s revenue, an improvement compared to the 10.3% in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.  This improvement is primarily due to revenue increasing at a faster rate of 6.8% compared to a 3.8% increase in operating expenses.  Revenue grew at a faster rate due primarily to improvements in sales representative productivity, improved customer retention and improved capacity utilization from the higher revenue levels.

 

Uniform Direct Sales Operating Segment

 

Three Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

Uniform Direct Sales operating segment revenue increased from $94.4 million to $102.6 million, or 8.7%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011, over the same quarter in the prior fiscal year due to increased customer orders for uniforms.

 

Cost of uniform direct sales increased $5.9 million, or 8.8%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011, due to increased Uniform Direct Sales operating segment sales volume.  The gross margin as a percent of revenue was 29.5% for the quarter ended February 28, 2011, which is comparable to the 29.6% in the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.

 

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $1.9 million compared to the same quarter last fiscal year.  This decrease in selling and administrative expenses was due to numerous items including medical expenses and bad debt expense.

 

Income before income taxes increased $4.2 million to $12.4 million for the Uniform Direct Sales operating segment for the quarter ended February 28, 2011.  Income before income taxes was 12.1% of the operating segment’s revenue compared to 8.7% for the same quarter last fiscal year.  This increase in income before income taxes is primarily due to the increase in revenue and improved capacity utilization from the higher revenue levels.

 

First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services Operating Segment

 

Three Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment revenue increased from $79.2 million to $91.2 million, or 15.1%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011.  The increase primarily resulted from organic growth of 9.3% due to improvements in sales representative productivity and improved customer retention.  The remaining 5.8% represents growth derived mainly through acquisitions.

 

Cost of first aid, safety and fire protection services increased $5.4 million, or 11.3%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011.   Gross margin for the First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment is defined as revenue less cost of goods, warehouse expenses, service expenses and training expenses.  The gross margin as a percent of revenue was 41.5% for the quarter ended February 28,

2011, which is a 200 basis point increase compared to the gross margin percentage in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.  This increase is due to an increase in revenue and improved capacity utilization from the higher revenue levels.

 

Selling and administrative expenses increased $4.0 million compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in labor and payroll taxes of $2.5 million.

 

Income before income taxes for the First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment increased $2.6 million to $4.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2011.  Income before income taxes was 5.1% of the operating segment’s revenue, compared to 2.6% in last fiscal year’s third quarter.  This increase is primarily due to the increase in revenue and improved capacity utilization from the higher revenue levels.

 

Document Management Services Operating Segment

 

Three Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

Document Management Services operating segment revenue increased from $65.7 million to $79.1 million, or 20.3%, for the quarter ended February 28, 2011, over the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.  The increase resulted from an organic growth increase of 7.8% primarily due to new accounts sold by our sales representatives.  The remaining 12.5% represents growth derived mainly through acquisitions.  This operating segment derives a portion of its revenue from the sale of shredded paper to paper recyclers.  Recycled paper prices remained at relatively high levels, but are consistent with the prices in the same quarter last fiscal year.  As a result, the change in recycled paper prices did not significantly impact the revenue growth rate.

 

Cost of document management services increased $8.9 million, or 28.8%, for the three months ended February 28, 2011, due to increased Document Management Services operating segment sales volume.  Gross margin for the Document Management Services operating segment is defined as revenue less production and service costs.  The gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased from 52.7% in last year’s third quarter to 49.4% for the quarter ended February 28, 2011.  This decrease is primarily due to start-ups in the storage business as well as a 65 basis point increase in energy related costs.

 

Selling and administrative expenses increased $7.5 million compared to the same quarter last fiscal year primarily due to an increase in labor and payroll taxes of $4.3 million.

 

Income before income taxes for the Document Management Services operating segment decreased $3.1 million to $6.3 million for the period compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Income before income taxes as a percentage of the operating segment’s revenue decreased from 14.3% in last year’s third quarter to 8.0% for the quarter ended February 28, 2011.  The decrease in income before income taxes is due to the costs associated with the start-ups in the storage business, the increase in energy related costs and the increase in selling and administrative expenses.

14.2% for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, over the same period in the prior fiscal year from $716.2 million to $817.9 million.  The increase primarily resulted from an organic increase of 9.8%.  The remaining 4.4% represents growth derived through acquisitions in our Document Management Services operating segment and our First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment during the period.  The organic growth rate for the quarter was the result of a 14.9% organic increase in Document Management Services operating segment revenue, a 9.5% organic increase in Uniform Direct Sales operating segment revenue and a 6.4% organic increase in First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment revenue.

 

Cost of rental uniforms and ancillary products consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels and other ancillary items.  Cost of rental uniforms and ancillary products increased $45.8 million, or 4.2%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2010.  This increase was due to higher Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment sales volume.  In addition, maintenance costs increased $7.0 million and energy related costs increased $3.8 million compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2011.

 

Cost of other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses in the Uniform Direct Sales operating segment, the First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment and the Document Management Services operating segment.  Cost of other services increased $50.6 million, or 11.4%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2010.  This increase was primarily due to increased Other Services sales volume.

 

Selling and administrative expenses increased $65.3 million, or 8.2%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2010.  Labor and payroll tax expenses increased by $41.0 million compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily as a result of an increase in the number of sales representatives.  In addition, bad debt expense increased $5.7 million due to a slight deterioration in the aging in part resulting from an ongoing accounts receivable consolidation project, and professional services increased $8.3 million due to costs related to our enterprise-wide system conversion.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Cintas and the plaintiffs involved in the litigation, Paul Veliz, et al. v. Cintas Corporation, reached a settlement in principle.  The pre-tax impact, net of insurance proceeds, was approximately $19.5 million.  This settlement is more fully described in Note 8 entitled Litigation and Other Contingencies in “Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.”  During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, Cintas had legal settlements that totaled $4.0 million, net of insurance proceeds. None of these settlements were significant individually.  These settlements included litigation related to multiple subjects including employment practices and insurance coverage.

 

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $35.7 million the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to $35.1 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2010.

 

Cintas’ effective tax rate decreased to 36.1% for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to 37.0% for the prior year period.  This decrease was due to the impact of the closure of certain tax audits during the nine months ended February 28, 2011.

 

Net income increased $16.1 million, or 10.0%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, from the same period in the prior fiscal year.  This increase was primarily due to increased revenue for the period, improved capacity utilization from the higher revenue levels and the legal settlements which occurred last fiscal year.  Diluted earnings per share were $1.19 for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, which was an increase of 14.4% compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in diluted earnings per share is higher than the increase in net income due to Cintas purchasing 7.7 million shares under the share buyback program this fiscal year.

Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products Operating Segment

 

Nine Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

As discussed above, Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment revenue increased from $1.9 billion to $2.0 billion, or 3.1%, and the cost of rental uniforms and ancillary products increased $45.8 million, or 4.2%. The operating segment’s gross margin was $851.2 million, or 43.0% of revenue.  This gross margin percent of revenue of 43.0% was 60 basis points lower than the prior fiscal year’s 43.6%.  Maintenance costs increased $7.0 million, or approximately 30 basis points, and energy related costs, which include natural gas, electric and gas, increased $3.8 million, or 10 basis points, from the prior fiscal year period.

 

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue, at 30.8%, increased 60 basis points compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in selling labor due to the addition of sales representatives.  The sales representatives were added to grow revenue in the operating segment.

 

Income before income taxes decreased $16.8 million to $241.9 million for the Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment compared to the same period last fiscal year.  Income before income taxes was 12.2% of the operating segment’s revenue, which is a 130 basis point decrease compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.  This is primarily due to the increase in selling and administrative expenses and the lower gross margin as a percent of revenue.

 

Uniform Direct Sales Operating Segment

 

Nine Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

Uniform Direct Sales operating segment revenue increased from $283.2 million to $310.2 million, or 9.5%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, over the same period in the prior fiscal year due to increased customer orders for uniforms.

 

Cost of uniform direct sales increased $18.6 million, or 9.4%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, due to increased Uniform Direct Sales operating segment sales volume.  The gross margin as a percent of revenue was 29.9% for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, which is relatively consistent with the 29.8% in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million compared to last fiscal year.  Selling and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of revenue from 20.3% in the first nine months last fiscal year to 18.4% in this fiscal year’s first nine months.  This decrease in selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue was due to the selling and administrative expenses being relatively consistent with last fiscal year while revenue increased by 9.5%.

 

Income before income taxes increased $8.7 million to $35.5 million for the Uniform Direct Sales operating segment for the nine months ended February 28, 2011.  Income before income taxes was 11.4% of the operating segment’s revenue compared to 9.5% for the same period last fiscal year.  This increase in income before income taxes is primarily due to the increase in revenue while keeping selling and administrative expenses relatively consistent.

 

First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services Operating Segment

 

Nine Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment revenue increased from $250.8 million to $278.0 million, or 10.9%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011.  The increase primarily resulted from an organic growth of 6.4%.  The remaining 4.5% represents growth derived mainly through acquisitions.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue, at 36.3%, increased 190 basis points compared to the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.  Selling and administrative expenses increased from $86.3 million in last fiscal year’s first nine months to $101.0 million in the first nine months of this fiscal year due to an increase in the number of sales representatives and a $2.7 million increase in bad debt expense.

 

Income before income taxes for the First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment increased $2.6 million to $13.5 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011.  Income before income taxes was 4.9% of the operating segment’s revenue, compared to 4.3% in last fiscal year’s first nine months.  This increase in income before income taxes as a percent of revenue is primarily due to the increase in revenue and improved capacity utilization from the higher revenue levels.

 

Document Management Services Operating Segment

 

Nine Months Ended February 28, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended February 28, 2010

 

Document Management Services operating segment revenue increased from $182.3 million to $229.7 million, or 26.0%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, over the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase primarily resulted from an organic growth increase of 14.9%.  The remaining 11.1% represents growth derived mainly through acquisitions.  This operating segment derives a portion of its revenue from the sale of shredded paper to paper recyclers.  The average price from these paper sales increased by approximately 33% in the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2010, due to increased volume and increases in recycled paper prices.  This increase resulted in higher recycled paper revenue.  Excluding recycled paper revenue, segment revenue grew 7.1% organically compared to last fiscal year’s first nine months.

 

Cost of document management services increased $22.1 million, or 24.6%, for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, due to increased Document Management Services operating segment volume.  Gross margin for the Document Management Services operating segment is defined as revenue less production and service costs.  The gross margin as a percent of revenue increased from 50.7% for the nine months ended February 28, 2010, to 51.3% for the nine months ended February 28, 2011.  This increase is due to the increase in the recycled paper prices which increased revenue.

 

Selling and administrative expenses increased $21.4 million compared to last fiscal year.  These expenses as a percent of revenue, at 42.4%, increased 70 basis points compared to the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in the number of sales representatives.

 

Income before income taxes for the Document Management Services operating segment increased $4.0 million to $20.6 million for the period compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  However, income before income taxes as a percentage of the operating segment’s revenue was 8.9% which is relatively consistent with the 9.1% from last fiscal year.

The cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of February 28, 2011, include $165.1 million that is located outside of the United States.   We expect to use these amounts to fund our international operations and expansion activities.  The marketable securities at February 28, 2011, consist of United States municipal bonds and primarily Canadian treasury securities.  We believe that our investment policy pertaining to marketable securities is conservative.  The criterion used in making investment decisions is the preservation of principal, while earning an attractive yield.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities have historically supplied us with a significant source of liquidity.  We generally use these cash flows to fund most, if not all, of our operations and expansion activities and dividends on our common stock.  We may also use cash flows provided by operating activities, as well as proceeds from long-term debt and short-term borrowings, to fund growth and expansion opportunities, as well as other cash requirements such as share buybacks.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $208.0 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, a decrease of $221.2 million compared to the same period last fiscal year.  Last fiscal year’s net cash provided by operating activities benefited from lower working capital needs associated with our decreasing sales volumes and the accrual of approximately $28.0 million in legal settlements.  As sales volumes have increased this fiscal year, our working capital needs have increased.  Our operating cash flows were negatively impacted by the accounts receivable increase of $32.8 million, and the inventories, net and uniforms and other rental items in service increase of $100.1 million, both due to the higher sales volume and an intentional increase in inventory in anticipation of and as a precaution to a planned enterprise-wide system conversion of the Cintas Global Supply Chain division.

 

Net cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures and cash paid for acquisitions of businesses.  Capital expenditures were $142.3 million and $78.9 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  These capital expenditures primarily relate to expansion efforts in Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products and Document Management Services operating segments and to an enterprise-wide system conversion.  Capital expenditures increased during the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the same period last fiscal year as economic conditions in the United States and Canada stabilized in 2010, providing better revenue growth opportunities.  Cash paid for acquisitions of businesses was $158.5 million and $41.4 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The acquisitions this fiscal year occurred in our Document Management Services, First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services and Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segments.  The cash used for capital expenditures and acquisitions was offset by net proceeds from the sale or redemption of marketable securities.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $252.1 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  We completed our share buyback program by purchasing $203.2 million of Cintas common stock during the nine months ended February 28, 2011.  We also paid an annual cash dividend of $71.8 million in December 2010.  Throughout our third quarter, we issued various levels of commercial paper in order to fund the dividend payment and other cash requirements.  The maximum amount of commercial paper outstanding at any one time was approximately $90 million, and the amount outstanding at February 28, 2011, was $21.5 million.

On October 26, 2010, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized an additional $500.0 million share buyback program at market prices.  No purchases have been made under this new program.

 

As of February 28, 2011, we had $775.0 million in fixed rate notes outstanding with maturities ranging from 2012 to 2036.  Cintas has a commercial paper program with capacity of $300.0 million that is fully supported by a backup revolving credit facility through a credit agreement with its banking group.  This revolving credit facility has an accordion feature that allows for a maximum borrowing capacity of $450.0 million and an expiration date of September 26, 2014.  We believe this program will be adequate to provide necessary funding for our cash requirements.  As of February 28, 2011, we had $21.5 million of commercial paper outstanding.  No commercial paper outstanding and no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility were outstanding as of May 31, 2010.

 

Cintas has certain 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.  If a default of a significant covenant were to occur, the default could result in an acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness, impair liquidity and limit the ability to raise future capital.  As of February 28, 2011, Cintas was in compliance with all significant debt covenants.

 

Our access to the commercial paper and long-term debt markets has historically provided us with sources of liquidity.  We do not anticipate having difficulty in obtaining financing from those markets in the future in view of our favorable experiences in the debt markets in the recent past. Our ability to continue to access the commercial paper and long-term debt markets on favorable interest rate and other terms will depend, to a significant degree, on the ratings assigned by the credit rating agencies to our indebtedness.  As of February 28, 2011, our ratings were as follows:

 

Rating Agency

 

Outlook

 

Commercial Paper

 

Long-term Debt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Standard & Poor’s

 

Stable

 

A-2

 

A-

Moody’s Investors Service

 

Stable

 

P-1

 

A2

 

In the event that the ratings of our commercial paper or our outstanding long-term debt issues were substantially lowered or withdrawn for any reason, or if the ratings assigned to any new issue of long-term debt securities were significantly lower than those noted above, particularly if we no longer had investment grade ratings, our ability to access the debt markets may be adversely affected.  In addition, in such a case, our cost of funds for new issues of commercial paper and long-term debt would be higher than our cost of funds would have been had the ratings of those new issues been at or above the level of the ratings noted above.  The rating agency ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our commercial paper or debt securities. Each rating may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.  Moreover, each credit rating is specific to the security to which it applies.

 

To monitor our credit rating and our capacity for long-term financing, we consider various qualitative and quantitative factors.  One such factor is the ratio of our total debt to capitalization. For the purpose of this calculation, debt is defined as the sum of short-term borrowings, long-term debt due within one year, obligations under capital leases due in one year, long-term debt and long-term obligations under capital leases.  Total capitalization is defined as debt plus shareholders’ equity.  At February 28, 2011 and May 31, 2010, the ratio of our total debt to capitalization was 24.6% and 23.7%, respectively.  We believe these levels are reasonable and allow for additional funding if the need arises.

Additional risks and uncertainties presently not known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also harm our business.

 

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

In our normal operations, Cintas has market risk exposure to interest rates.  There has been no material change to this market risk exposure to interest rates from that which was previously disclosed on page 30 of our Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2010.

 

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 currency denominated revenue and profit translated into U.S. dollars.  The primary foreign currency to which Cintas is exposed is the Canadian dollar.  Cintas has average rate options in place to limit a portion of the risks of the revenue translation from Canadian foreign currency exchange rate movements during the remainder of the fiscal year; however, the amount of these options is not significant.
