EVI Industries Reports Record Revenues and Gross Profits for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2026

EVI Industries, Inc. (NYSE:EVI) announced today its operating results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The Company also provided updates related to its buy-and-build growth strategy, growth opportunities, and technology investments.

EVI has established itself as a leader in the highly fragmented North American commercial laundry distribution and service industry through execution of its long-term growth strategy. Since the strategy's inception in 2016, the Company has achieved compounded annual growth rates of 30% in revenue, 15% in net income, and 26% in adjusted EBITDA.

First Fiscal Quarter Financial Highlights (compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025)

• Revenue increased 16% to a record $108 million,
• Gross Profit increased 17% to a record $33.9 million, or a record 31.3%,
• Operating Income was $3.6 million compared to $5.0 million,
• Net Income was $1.8 million compared to $3.2 million, and
• Adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million compared to $7.6 million, or 6.2% and 8.1% respectively.

Henry M. Nahmad, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Our record results this quarter highlight the success of our sales organization and our ongoing progress in capturing market share across key regions. We believe that this performance underscores the strength of our strategy and the capabilities we are developing across our platform and that, with a solid foundation and strong demand trends, we are well positioned to sustain growth and continue advancing our long-term objectives."

The Company achieved strong year-over-year revenue growth during the quarter, driven primarily by the addition of acquired businesses and supported by continued stability in its legacy operations. In the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, EVI achieved strong operating leverage, reflected in net income for the quarter of 3.5% of revenue, or adjusted EBITDA of 8.1%, as increased revenues and record gross profits offset spending related to the Company's modernization and optimization initiatives. Since that time, EVI has completed four additional acquisitions, including the largest in its history, expanding its scale and reinforcing its position as a market leader. In line with management's confidence in the business and consistent with its long-term growth strategy, the Company accelerated investment in modernization, optimization, and integration efforts. These initiatives, along with costs associated with migrating and consolidating acquired operations, temporarily impacted short-term profitability and prevented the achievement of operating leverage comparable to the prior-year period. Management believes these initiatives will enhance customer experience, expand service opportunities, and support sustainable growth and margin improvement in the years ahead.

Gross Margins

Record gross margins in the first quarter highlight the benefits of the Company's disciplined execution and strategic acquisitions. The inclusion of Continental (formerly Girbau North America), acquired during fiscal 2025, had a positive impact on gross margin performance, driving the consolidated gross margin to a record 31.3%. Excluding Continental, gross margins would have been approximately 30.2%, modestly below the prior-year period due to product mix within the historical business. The Company expects to sustain the enhanced gross margin profile realized through Continental while advancing initiatives focused on procurement, supply chain efficiency, pricing, and inventory management—areas where management believes meaningful opportunities exist to further enhance margins and operating efficiency. The Company's continued utilization of business intelligence tools is expected to support these objectives by enabling data-driven decision-making and greater visibility across its operations.

Operating Efficiency

Net Income for the quarter was 1.7% of revenue, compared to 3.5% in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was 6.2% of revenue, compared to 8.1% in the prior-year period. This variance reflects the Company's investments in long-term initiatives, including technology modernization, expansion of service capabilities, and integration of recently acquired businesses. Additionally, the results for the quarter were impacted by expenses incurred in connection with the Company's participation during the quarter in the industry's largest North American exposition, held for the first time since August 2022. While this investment temporarily affected earnings, the Company believes that the event provided valuable opportunities to strengthen its relationships with customers and partners and reinforce its leadership position in the commercial laundry industry. These combined efforts are expected to continue to enhance the Company's platform and establish a stronger foundation for future margin expansion, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth.

Capital Strength and Outlook

Supported by a strong balance sheet, ample borrowing capacity, and disciplined capital management, the Company remains well positioned to pursue additional acquisitions, invest in innovation, and advance its operational initiatives. The declaration of a $5.0 million special cash dividend during the quarter—the largest in EVI's history—reflects management's confidence in the Company's financial strength and long-term outlook. The dividend of $0.33 per share was paid on October 6, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 25, 2025. With sustained demand across end markets and a strategy focused on growth and optimization, EVI continues to prioritize durable value creation over short-term margin gains, reinforcing its commitment to building a scalable and market resilient platform for the future.

Technology Investments

• Field Service Technologies: The Company continued to advance the adoption of its field service platform, which supported approximately 9,000 appointments during September 2025, up from approximately 8,500 appointments in June 2025 and just 1,000 a year ago. In addition, the platform continues to deliver measurable improvements in technician productivity, scheduling efficiency, and customer responsiveness, reinforcing EVI's strategy to leverage technology to enhance service performance, scalability, and long-term profitability.

• E-Commerce: The Company continued to advance development of its next-generation digital platform. Designed to extend beyond traditional e-commerce, the platform is expected to integrate product ordering, service scheduling, and data analytics in a seamless, customer-focused environment. Management believes this investment will play an important role in enhancing the customer experience and strengthening EVI's position in an increasingly digital marketplace.

• Customer Relationship Management: The Company continued investing in the development and deployment of its new customer relationship management (CRM) system, designed to enhance the effectiveness of its sales organization. The platform provides sales professionals with real-time access to customer data, enabling a more personalized and responsive experience. Following the end of the quarter, the Company completed phase one of the CRM project, which encompassed the development, configuration, testing, and rollout of the system at Continental. The Company is now modifying the system to align with the specific structures and requirements of its other business units, with additional deployments planned over time. This investment strengthens the Company's sales capabilities and supports its objective of delivering a consistent, high-quality customer experience.

Acquisition Initiatives

As a preferred acquirer within the commercial laundry industry, the Company continues to explore many qualified acquisition and strategic investment opportunities. Management believes that the Company's expanded footprint and enhanced platform capabilities position it to capitalize on opportunities across the fragmented commercial laundry equipment and services market.

Financial Strength and Liquidity

EVI remains focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet and access to low-cost capital to fund strategic investments and future growth initiatives. The Company's financial position continues to support its buy-and-build strategy, ongoing technology investments, and shareholder-return objectives. During the first fiscal quarter, net debt increased $2.2 million to $46.3 million, due primarily to $1.0 million in operating cash flow, offset in part by investing activities.

Tariff Management

EVI continues to monitor tariff developments and their potential impact on the Company's results and operations. To offset higher supplier costs, the Company has adjusted pricing, diversified sourcing, and established agreements with key foreign suppliers to stabilize pricing. The Company believes that, despite ongoing trade-policy uncertainty, EVI's essential product portfolio and resilient end-market demand provide a strong foundation for continued performance.

Mr. Nahmad commented: "When we look at our results, it's important to remember that everything we're doing is about the long game. Every acquisition, every system we implement, every process we improve — it's all focused on building a stronger company that can perform across any market cycle. We're not optimizing for a single quarter or even a single year. We're building for sustainable growth, profitability, and long-term value. The bottom line is this: we're growing, we're modernizing, and we're investing with confidence. We're capturing market share, expanding our service and technology capabilities, and positioning EVI for sustainable, long-term growth — and we're confident that our strategy and the opportunities ahead will keep driving our success."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this press release, EVI discloses the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDA, which EVI defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of stock-based compensation to net income, as shown in the attached statement of Condensed Consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Amortization of Stock-based Compensation. EVI considers adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings, and the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method of analyzing EVI's results as reported under GAAP.
