UniFirst (NYSE:UNF) reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2026, ended February 28, 2026, on Wednesday, April 1.

The results reflect a period of consistent top-line expansion offset by planned capital allocations toward the company’s long-term digital and operational infrastructure.

Consolidated revenues for the quarter rose 3.4% to $622.5 million, up from $602.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

This growth was primarily fueled by organic gains within the core Uniform & Facility Service Solutions segment, underscoring the company’s ability to retain and expand its customer base in a competitive North American market.

Profitability for the quarter reflected the company's ongoing commitment to its internal "evolution" strategy.

Operating income was $26 million, compared to $31.2 million in the prior-year period, while adjusted EBITDA reached $66.8 million.

The operating margin stood at 4.2%, down from 5.2% a year ago.

On the bottom line, UniFirst reported net income of $20.5 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.13, compared to $1.31 in the second quarter of 2025.

The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.7%, while the effective tax rate for the period remained stable at 25.1%.
