Third Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are presented in the tables accompanying this release.

($ in millions)	Consolidated
	Three Months Ended
	June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023			Change
Revenue	$	698.2		$	709.4		(1.6	)%
Operating Income		37.5			66.3		(43.4	)%
Adjusted Operating Income		58.4			78.7		(25.8	)%
Net Income		5.0			48.9		(89.9	)%
Adjusted EBITDA		86.8			106.3		(18.3	)%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin		12.4	%		15.0	%	(260 bps)

Vestis’ third quarter fiscal 2024 revenue decreased 1.6% versus the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, Vestis’ revenue decreased 1.4%.

Third quarter fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 260 basis points, which included an approximately 100 basis point impact from higher public company costs as compared to the prior year. The impact from lost business and the incremental public company costs outweighed the favorable impact from new volume growth and pricing in the quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Vestis’ net cash provided by operating activities of $176.2 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2024 increased 22.4% relative to the comparable period of fiscal 2023. Free cash flow of $125.4 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2024 increased 22.6% relative to the comparable period of fiscal 2023.

As of June 28, 2024, total principal debt outstanding was $1.42 billion, which represents a $17 million reduction in the quarter of which $15 million was voluntarily prepaid. Net leverage was 3.98x at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 3.95x at the end of fiscal 2023.

Vestis Enters into $250 Million Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

On August 2, 2024, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Vestis entered into a three-year $250 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the "A/R Facility"). Under the A/R Facility, these subsidiaries transfer accounts receivable and certain related assets to VS Financing, LLC, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary, who in turn, may sell the receivables to a financial institution. The net proceeds from the A/R Facility will be used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the existing term loans.

Net leverage and outstanding net debt would have been approximately 3.33x and $1.28 billion, respectively, at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2024 assuming 100% of the proceeds from the A/R Facility were used to reduce the then-outstanding principal debt, and all other components remained unchanged.

Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook

We continue to expect to deliver fiscal 2024 revenue growth in the range of (1)% to 0%. We also expect fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA Margin to be toward the higher end of the range between 12.0% and 12.4%, inclusive of approximately $18 million in incremental public company costs in the period.

Our strategic imperatives include disciplined capital allocation with deleveraging as a priority, as evidenced by the execution of the A/R Facility. We continue to expect strong free cash flow conversion and anticipate a ratio of free cash flow to net income greater than or equal to 100%.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP Information

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial information that is forward-looking in nature, including without limitation adjusted EBITDA margin. Vestis believes that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require Vestis to predict the timing and likelihood of among other things future acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, asset impairments, other charges and other factors not within Vestis’ control. Neither these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures are not provided. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures. The estimates of revenue growth for fiscal year 2024 and adjusted EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2024 do not attempt to forecast currency fluctuations and, accordingly, reflect an assumption of constant currency.

Conference Call Information

Vestis will host a webcast to discuss its fiscal third quarter 2024 results and outlook on Wednesday, August 7, 2024 at 10:00 AM ET. The webcast can be accessed live through the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.vestis.com. Additionally, a slide presentation will accompany the call and will also be available on the Company’s website. A replay of the live event will be available on the Company’s website shortly after the call for 90 days.

Non-GAAP Definitions

This release could include certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Revenue Growth (Organic), Adjusted Revenue (Organic), Adjusted Revenue Growth excluding Temporary Energy Fee, Adjusted Revenue excluding Temporary Energy Fee, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Net Leverage, and Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA. Vestis utilizes these measures when monitoring and evaluating operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are supplemental measures of Vestis’ performance that Vestis believes help investors because they enable better comparisons of Vestis’ historical results and allow Vestis’ investors to evaluate its performance based on the same metrics that Vestis uses to evaluate its performance and trends in its results. Vestis’ presentation of these metrics has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Vestis’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of their limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as measures of cash available to Vestis to invest in the growth of Vestis’ business or that will be available to Vestis to meet its obligations. Vestis compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP financial measures, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to revenue, operating income, operating income margin, net income, net income margin or net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Vestis believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, are important supplemental measures which exclude non-cash or other items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to Vestis’ core operating results and the overall health of Vestis. Non-GAAP financial measures as presented by Vestis may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations.
