Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) today reported results for its fiscal 2022 second quarter ended November 30, 2021. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $1.92 billion compared to $1.76 billion in last year’s second quarter, an increase of 9.4%. The organic revenue growth rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, which adjusts for the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, was 9.3%.
Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $885.1 million compared to $819.9 million in last year’s second quarter. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 46.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 46.7% in last year's second quarter. Labor expense increased due to investments for current and anticipated revenue growth, and energy-related expenses increased 40 basis points.
Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $381.2 million compared to $352.9 million in last year's second quarter. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 19.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 20.1% in last year's second quarter. Last year's second quarter operating income included an $18.0 million gain from the sale of certain Uniform Rental and Facility Services segment operating assets. The gain on sale was recorded in selling and administrative expenses. Excluding this gain, fiscal 2022 second quarter operating income as a percentage of revenue increased 70 basis points from 19.1% in last year's second quarter.
Net income was $294.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $284.9 million in last year's second quarter. Second quarter of fiscal 2022 diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $2.76 compared to $2.62 in last year's second quarter. Last year's second quarter diluted EPS included $0.25 from the gain on sale of certain Uniform Rental and Facility Services segment operating assets and the related tax benefit. Excluding this impact, fiscal 2022 second quarter diluted EPS increased 16.5% from last year's diluted EPS of $2.37.
Todd M. Schneider, Cintas' President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with our second quarter financial results led by a strong revenue increase of 9.4%. Also, operating income and diluted EPS excluding last year's gain previously mentioned increased significantly despite U.S. inflation recently hitting a 39-year high and our investment in labor to support revenue growth. I am proud of the execution of our employee-partners in providing the products and services needed to help our customers get Ready for the Workday®."
Mr. Schneider concluded, "We are increasing our fiscal 2022 financial guidance. We are raising our annual revenue expectations from a range of $7.58 billion to $7.67 billion to a range of $7.63 billion to $7.70 billion and diluted EPS from a range of $10.60 to $10.90 to a range of $10.70 to $10.95. Please note the following regarding guidance:
- Our fiscal 2022 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 19.0% compared to a rate of 13.7% for fiscal 2021. The higher effective tax rate negatively impacts fiscal 2022 diluted EPS guidance by about $0.72 and diluted EPS growth by about 700 basis points;
- Guidance does not include the impact of any future share buybacks; and
- Guidance assumes an uneven economic recovery caused by COVID-19. However, guidance does not contemplate significant COVID-19 pandemic-related setbacks such as stay-at-home orders or costs necessary to comply with government COVID-19 mandates."
