Prior quarter (Q3 FY26): raised full-year FY26 guidance to $11.21-$11.24B revenue and $4.86-$4.90 EPS. Current quarter (Q4 FY26): FY26 actual revenue came in at $11.26B, at the high end of the raised range. Management introduced and maintained FY27 guidance of $12.1-$12.25B revenue and $5.36-$5.50 adjusted EPS, reflecting one extra workday and modest energy cost headwinds. The shift from raising to maintaining signals a more measured outlook as UniFirst integration costs and energy inflation factor in.

What to watch on the call

Carried forward from the last transcript

Risks management flagged

  • Regulatory approval risk for the UniFirst merger (FTC second request and Canadian clearance pending).
  • Energy and fuel cost volatility, with approximately 20 bps of FY27 headwind from energy costs and fuel representing ~100 bps of total energy exposure.
  • Macro-economic uncertainty affecting customer spending and pricing power.
  • Integration risks and transaction costs associated with the UniFirst acquisition.

Questions analysts left open

  • Incremental margin variability and assumptions behind FY27 guidance.
  • Extent of operating margin expansion (10-60 bps) and energy cost exposure.
  • Details of supply-chain efficiencies and automation initiatives.
