CTAS is a company providing
uniforms to major companies. They report 7/20/17 after the market
close. The company is profitable, and has acquired smaller
businesses to grow its revenue, while selling a paper-shredding
company it had previously acquired.
The company has more cash
than debt. Inventories increased by 9%, and revenue increased by
5.3%. Income before taxes grew 2.5%, and $642,000 in losses from
discontinued operations and a $9 million acquisition expense reduced
the profit improvement to just under 2%. The majority of revenue is
derived from uniform rental services. According to wikinvest, CTAS
has 30% of market share for uniform rentals due to its commitment to
providing specialized products to fit customer needs.
Cintas was founded as The
Acme Industrial Laundry Company in 1929 by Richard T Farmer, and
changed its name upon its IPO in 1983. Scott Farmer is the founder's
son, and has been CEO since 2003. Cintas acquired G&K, another
uniform rental company, in a deal that closed 3/21/2017. Shred-it, a
document shredding company, was sold by Cintas in 2016, and losses
from the discontinuation of that service were realized in Q2 2017.
CTAS' largest competitor is
UNF (Unifirst Corporation). It trades at a slight premium to UNF,
and CTAS' revenue grew 14% between 2013-2016, compared to 7% for UNF
in the same period. CTAS has beat, or met expectations in each of
the last 7 quarters, with the exception of 1 quarterly report. CTAS
has a dividend yield with ten times the value of UNF's.
Reporting 7/20/17 after the
close, CTAS will try to continue its trend of earnings beats. CTAS'
share price has risen 9% year-to-date at the time of writing this
article. After its last three quarterly earnings reports, CTAS
dropped $5, $3, and $3 in the following month.
