# Cintas: Business Model & Revenue Engine



## Direct Answer

Cintas reports revenue across 4 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Uniform Rental and Facility Services is the largest, with $8.0 billion of revenue (77% of the total), followed by First Aid and Safety Services at $1.2 billion (12%).

## How Does Cintas Make Money?

Uniform Rental and Facility Services supplies 77% of revenue, so Cintas's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, First Aid and Safety Services grew fastest (+14.1%) and Uniform Direct Sales slowest (-2.1%), so the revenue mix tilts toward First Aid and Safety Services while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Uniform Rental and Facility Services | $8.0 billion | $7.5 billion | 77.1% | 6.8% |
| First Aid and Safety Services | $1.2 billion | $1.1 billion | 11.8% | 14.1% |
| Fire Protection Services | $817 million | $729 million | 7.9% | 12.2% |
| Uniform Direct Sales | $329 million | $335 million | 3.2% | -2.1% |

## Which Cintas Segments Earn the Most?

| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Uniform Rental and Facility Services | $1.9 billion | 23.5% |
| First Aid and Safety Services | $295 million | 24.2% |

Segment operating income is the profit measure Cintas reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within Cintas more safely than against another company.

## What Does Cintas Sell?

Cintas also breaks revenue down by product and service line, which shows what customers pay for rather than how management organizes the business.

| Product or service | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Uniform Rental and Facility Services | $8.0 billion | $7.5 billion | 77.1% | 6.8% |
| Other Products and Services | $2.4 billion | $2.1 billion | 22.9% | 10.9% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Cintas's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Cintas reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed July 28, 2025 (accession 0000723254-25-000017), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
