Management Commentary
“I’m pleased that our third quarter results were in line with our expectations and that we generated positive cash flow during the period,” said Jim Barber, President and CEO. “Our team has been focused on taking comprehensive actions designed to strengthen our overall results and create long-term shareholder value by unlocking operating leverage through commercial and operational excellence.”
“Since I joined the company as CEO two months ago, I have been focused on engaging in a thorough review of our business,” Mr. Barber continued. “Vestis has faced challenges, but I am optimistic about the road ahead and confident in the team’s ability to deliver for our key stakeholders. Our integrated network of assets gives us scale and reach in an attractive and growing industry.”
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Performance
Third quarter fiscal 2025 revenue totaled $673.8 million, a decrease of $24.4 million year over year or 3.5%. The decline in revenue compared to the prior year reflects a $18.0 million decrease in rental revenue, a $5.6 million decline in direct sales revenue and a $0.8 million negative impact of foreign exchange on currency. The decrease in rental revenue was primarily due to a $14.6 million decline from lost business in excess of new business, and a $3.4 million decline in revenue related to existing business. The decline in direct sales revenue was primarily attributable to a $4.3 million unfavorable impact from the previously anticipated loss of a national account customer. Excluding that, direct sales decreased $1.3 million when compared to the prior year.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $182.1 million, compared to $202.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of 10.1%. The decrease in gross profit compared to the prior year period is primarily attributable to the decremental margin on lost revenues, unfavorable changes in product mix and increased merchandise amortization from new installations, which more than offset the incremental margin from new business and a decline in delivery costs.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $122.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which was $7.7 million lower than the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in SG&A was due primarily to a $6.0 million decline in share-based compensation, a $3.6 million decrease in separation related costs and a $2.6 million reduction in other administrative costs, offset by a $4.5 million increase in selling expenses related to additional field sales personnel.
*A non-GAAP measure, see accompanying non-GAAP measure explanations and reconciliations later in this release.
Interest expense was $22.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $29.9 million in the prior year period. The $7.4 million year-over-year decrease in interest expense reflects a decrease in net term loan borrowings resulting from the receipt of net proceeds from establishing the accounts receivable securitization facility during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024.
Net loss was $0.7 million or $(0.01) per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 versus net income of $5.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior year period and Adjusted EBITDA* was $64.0 million for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to $86.9 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Capital Allocation and Financial Position
During the third quarter of 2025, we invested $14.9 million in property and equipment, the majority of which is related to market center facility improvements.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.9 million for the third quarter of 2025 and Free Cash Flow* was $8.0 million for the quarter, a decrease of $25.8 million and $19.7 million, respectively, from the comparative prior year periods. The reduction in cash flow was primarily due to the decrease in earnings and the current quarter includes the impact of allowable deferred cash tax payments from the first half of fiscal 2025 of $9.6 million.
As of June 27, 2025, Vestis had total cash and excess availability under its revolving credit facility of $290 million as compared to $324 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024. Total debt outstanding at the end of the third quarter was $1.32 billion including principal bank debt outstanding of $1.17 billion. The Net Leverage Ratioa* was 4.50x at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Pursuant to the credit agreement, as amended, the Net Leverage Ratio cannot exceed 5.25x for any fiscal quarter ending prior to July 3, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Vestis reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but in this release and the non-GAAP reconciliations that follow, Vestis also uses the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Net Leverage Ratio, and Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA. Vestis believes that non-GAAP financial measures, both together with and in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure, are important supplemental measures that exclude non-cash or other items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to Vestis’ core operating results. Vestis uses these non-GAAP financial measures with U.S. GAAP financial measures and other comparable tools to assist in the evaluation of its operating performance. Vestis believes that presentation of these measures also helps investors because the measures enable better comparisons of Vestis’ historical results and allow investors to evaluate Vestis’ performance based on the same metrics that Vestis uses to evaluate its performance and trends in its results. However, these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Vestis’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Specifically, you should not consider these measures as alternatives to revenue, operating income, operating income margin, net income, net income margin or net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures also should not be considered as measures of cash available to Vestis to invest in the growth of Vestis’ business or cash that will be available to Vestis to meet its obligations. Non-GAAP financial measures as presented by Vestis may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled in the tables at the end of this release.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income adjusted for provision for income taxes; interest expense, net; and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), further adjusted for share-based compensation expense; severance; separation related charges; securitization fees; loss (gain) on sale of equity investment; third party debt amendment fees; legal reserves and settlements; gains, losses, and other items impacting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA is presented in order to reflect Vestis’ results in a manner that allows a better understanding of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long-term benefit of Vestis and other items impacting comparability between periods. Similar adjustments have been recorded in Adjusted EBITDA for earlier periods and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in Adjusted EBITDA in future periods.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment and other. Free Cash Flow is presented because it relates the operating cash flow of Vestis to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations, and indicates the amount of cash generated or used after capital expenditures that can be used for, among other things, investment in the Vestis business, strengthening the balance sheet, and repayment of debt obligations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure.
Net Leverage Ratio, Net Debt, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA and Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA
Net Leverage Ratio is defined in Vestis’ credit agreement and is calculated as consolidated total indebtedness in excess of unrestricted cash (referred to herein as “Net Debt”), divided by the Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt represents total principal debt outstanding, letters of credit outstanding, and finance lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents. Covenant Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA, as further modified by certain items specifically permitted under the credit agreement to assess compliance with its financial covenants. Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA represents Covenant Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. Vestis believes that Net Leverage Ratio and its components are useful to investors because they are indicators of Vestis’ ability to meet its future financial obligations and are measures that are frequently used by investors and creditors.
