Cintas Announces First-Quarter Results
Scott D. Farmer, president and CEO, stated, “The current difficult economic conditions are certainly impacting our customers, causing them to respond with head count reductions and facility consolidations. When combined with the significant increases in our energy and other commodity costs, our results clearly have been impacted.” Farmer continued, “Despite these issues, our results through the first quarter are in line with our full year fiscal 2009 plan. We have continued to demonstrate the benefit of our products and services to our customers as well as new prospects, growing our top line revenue. We also continue to leverage and improve our infrastructure and gain scale in our first aid, safety and fire protection and document management segments, which has helped to offset some of the increases in external costs.”
