“We are pleased with our third quarter and fiscal year-to-date performance which includes strong growth in revenue. More importantly, though, our concerns have turned to the Covid-19 coronavirus and its effects on our customers, our employee-partners and our communities. The pandemic has created a very fluid environment in the markets in which we operate, and I can't thank our employee-partners enough for doing our part to keep our customers' places of work clean, safe and Ready for the Workday,” Scott Farmer, Cintas' chairman and chief executive officer, said in a press release.
Year-over-Year (YoY) revenue increased 7.2 per cent to $5.4 billion compared to $5.0 billion in same period prior year. YoY net income jumped 11 per cent to $731.4 million.
