NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited) 

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements of Cintas Corporation (Cintas, the Company, we, us or our) included herein have been prepared by Cintas, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  While we believe that the disclosures are adequately presented, it is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 . A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented beginning on page 37 of that report. There have been no material changes in the accounting policies followed by Cintas during the current fiscal year other than the adoption of new accounting pronouncements discussed in Note 2.  Additionally, see Note 12 entitled Segment Information for discussion of change in reportable operating segments in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

Interim results are subject to variations and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results of the interim periods shown have been made.

Effective August 31, 2015, Cintas' investment in the Shred-it Partnership (Shred-it) is classified as held for sale and as a discontinued operations for all periods presented as a result of entering into a definitive agreement on July 15, 2015 to sell its investment in Shred-it. During fiscal 2015, Cintas sold its document imaging and retention services (Storage) business and, as a result, its operations are also classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 13 entitled Discontinued Operations for more information.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 , inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventory is comprised of the following amounts at: 

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),'' to clarify revenue recognition principles. This guidance is intended to improve disclosure requirements and enhance the comparability of revenue recognition practices. Improved disclosures under the amended guidance relate to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized from contracts with customers. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be required to be applied retrospectively. Early application of the amendments in this update is not permitted. Cintas is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, " Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,"  which amended accounting guidance related to the reporting of discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance changes the thresholds for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and is required to be applied prospectively.  Cintas has adopted ASU 2014-08 during the quarter ended August 31, 2015 and has applied this amended accounting guidance to its investment in Shred-it and will apply it to future transactions, as appropriate.

No other new accounting pronouncement recently issued or newly effective had or is expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

All financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) have been classified within the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the consolidated balance sheet date. These financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: 

Cintas' cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Financial instruments classified as Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and financial instruments classified as Level 2 are based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The types of financial instruments Cintas classifies within Level 1 include most bank deposits and money market securities. Cintas does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments.

The types of financial instruments Cintas classifies within Level 2 are primarily Canadian treasury securities (federal). The valuation technique used for Cintas' marketable securities classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy is primarily the market approach. The primary inputs to value Cintas' marketable securities are the respective instrument's future cash flows based on its stated yield and the amount a market participant would pay for a similar instrument. Primarily all of Cintas' marketable securities are actively traded and the recorded fair value reflects current market conditions. However, due to the inherent volatility in the investment market, there is at least a possibility that recorded investment values may change in the near term.

The funds invested in Canadian treasury securities are not presently expected to be repatriated, but instead are expected to be invested indefinitely in foreign subsidiaries. Interest, realized gains and losses and declines in value determined to be other than temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income or expense. The cost of the securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of marketable securities as of August 31, 2015 and May 31, 2015 was $53.4 million and $16.1 million , respectively. All outstanding marketable securities at August 31, 2015 and May 31, 2015 had contractual maturities due within one year.

The methods described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while Cintas believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the consolidated balance sheet date.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required under GAAP. The Company's acquisition of ZEE Medical was recorded at fair value. See Note 9 entitled Acquisitions for additional information on the preliminary measurement of the ZEE Medical assets acquired.

4. Investments

Investments at August 31, 2015 of $123.5 million include equity method investments of $14.6 million , the cash surrender value of insurance policies of $106.7 million and cost method investments of $2.2 million . Investments at May 31, 2015 of $329.7 million include the cash surrender value of insurance policies of $101.8 million , equity method investments of $225.7 million and cost method investments of $2.2 million .

Effective August 31, 2015, Cintas' investment in the Shred-it is classified as discontinued operations as a result of Cintas entering into a definitive agreement to sell its investment. Cintas' investment in Shred-it is classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2015. As allowed under applicable accounting guidance, the May 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet amounts for these assets and liabilities remain in their natural classifications. See Note 13 entitled Discontinued Operations and Note 15 entitled Subsequent Event for additional information.

On June 30, 2014, Cintas sold stock in an equity method investment. In conjunction with the sale of the equity method investment, Cintas also received a cash dividend of $5.2 million . Total cash received from the transaction was $35.2 million . The sale resulted in the recording of a gain, net of tax, of approximately $13.6 million in the three months ended August 31, 2014 . As a result, the Company no longer has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. Therefore, effective July 1, 2014, the remaining investment retained by Cintas is accounted for under the cost method.

Investments are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or when indicators of impairment exist. For the three months ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 , no losses due to impairment were recorded.

5. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations using the two-class method for amounts attributable to Cintas' common shares: 

Basic and diluted loss per share from discontinued operations were $(0.05) for the three months ended August 31, 2015 . Basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations were $0.04 for the three months ended August 31, 2014 .

For the three months ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 , options granted to purchase 0.5 million and 0.6 million shares of Cintas common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common stock (anti-dilutive).

On January 13, 2015, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized a $500.0 million share buyback program, which does not have an expiration date. For the three months ended August 31, 2015 , we purchased 2.4 million shares of Cintas common stock at an average price of $85.65 per share for a total purchase price of $ 202.5 million . In the period subsequent to August 31, 2015 through October 9, 2015 , we purchased 2.1 million shares of Cintas common stock for a total purchase price of $180.4 million . The January 13, 2015 share buyback program was completed in the period subsequent to August 31, 2015. From the inception of the January 13, 2015 share buyback program through September 2015, Cintas purchased a total of 5.9 million shares of Cintas common stock at an average price of $84.07 per share for a total purchase price of $500.0 million . On August 4, 2015, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized a new $500.0 million share buyback program. Under the August 4, 2015 share buyback program, Cintas purchased 1.4 million shares of Cintas common stock for a total purchase price of $120.0 million during the period subsequent to August 31, 2015 through October 9, 2015 . In addition, for the three months ended August 31, 2015 , Cintas acquired 0.2 million shares of Cintas common stock for employee payroll taxes due on restricted stock awards that vested during the three months ended August 31, 2015 . These shares were acquired at an average price of $85.54 per share for a total purchase price of $19.1 million .

6. Goodwill, Service Contracts and Other Assets

Effective June 1, 2015, Cintas realigned its organizational structure and updated its reportable operating segments in light of certain changes in its business including the acquisition of Zee Medical. Cintas' updated reportable operating segments are Uniform Rental and Facility Services and First Aid and Safety Services. The remainder of Cintas' business, which consists primarily of Fire Protection Services and our Direct Sale business are included in All Other. For additional information regarding Cintas' realignment and reportable operating segment determination, see Note 12 entitled Segment Information.

As a result of Cintas' segment realignment, the composition of Cintas' reporting units for the evaluation of goodwill impairment also changed. Historically, Cintas' reporting units were the same as the reportable operating segments, Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products, Uniform Direct Sales and First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services. Effective June 1, 2015, Cintas identified four reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment, Uniform Rental and Facility Services, First Aid and Safety Services, Fire Protection Services and Uniform Direct Sale. As a result of the change in reporting units, Cintas was required to perform an interim impairment test on Goodwill at June 1, 2015.  There was no impairment recorded as a result of the interim impairment test for the three months ended August 31, 2015.

As the composition of the reporting units changed, the Company allocated historical goodwill to the new reporting units based on a relative fair value allocation approach. The relative fair value allocation approach yielded the following allocation of total goodwill: Uniform Rental and Facility Services reportable operating segment goodwill of $943.9 million , First Aid and Safety Services reportable operating segment goodwill of $155.0 million and All Other goodwill of $96.7 million .

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and service contracts for the three months ended August 31, 2015 , by reportable operating segment and all other, are as follows:

Information regarding Cintas' service contracts and other assets is as follows:

Amortization expense for continuing operations was $3.6 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Estimated amortization expense for continuing operations, excluding any future acquisitions, for each of the next five full fiscal years is $14.6 million , $11.2 million , $10.3 million , $9.6 million and $9.2 million , respectively.

7. Debt, Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Cintas' senior notes are recorded at cost. The fair value of the senior notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on general market prices. The carrying value and fair value of Cintas' senior notes as of August 31, 2015 were $1,300.0 million and $1,415.1 million, respectively, and as of May 31, 2015 were $1,300.0 million and $1,418.6 million, respectively.

Cintas' commercial paper program has a capacity of $300.0 million that is fully supported by a backup revolving credit facility through a credit agreement with its banking group. This revolving credit facility has an accordion feature that allows for a maximum borrowing capacity of $450.0 million and has a maturity date of May 28, 2019. No commercial paper or borrowings on our revolving credit facility were outstanding as of August 31, 2015 or May 31, 2015 .

Cintas used interest rate lock agreements to hedge against movements in the treasury rates at the time Cintas issued its senior notes in fiscal 2007, fiscal 2008, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2013. The amortization of the cash flow hedges resulted in an increase to other comprehensive income of $0.5 million for the three months ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 .

To hedge the exposure of movements in the foreign currency rates, Cintas may use foreign currency hedges. These hedges reduce the impact on cash flows from movements in the foreign currency exchange rates. Examples of foreign currency hedge instruments that Cintas may use are average rate options and forward contracts. Cintas had no foreign currency forward contracts as of August 31, 2015 .

Cintas has certain covenants related to debt agreements. These covenants limit Cintas' ability to incur certain liens, to engage in sale-leaseback transactions and to merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of Cintas' assets. These covenants also require Cintas to maintain certain debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and interest coverage ratios. Cross-default provisions exist between certain debt instruments. Cintas was in compliance with all debt covenants for all periods presented. If a default of a significant covenant were to occur, the default could result in an acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness, impair liquidity and limit the ability to raise future capital. 

8. Income Taxes

In the normal course of business, Cintas provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest, and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly. During the three months ended August 31, 2015 , unrecognized tax benefits increased by approximately $0.5 million and accrued interest increased by less than $0.1 million .

All U.S. federal income tax returns are closed to audit through fiscal 2011. Cintas is currently in advanced stages of various audits in certain foreign jurisdictions and certain domestic states. The years under foreign and domestic state audits cover fiscal years back to 2009. Based on the resolution of the various audits and other potential regulatory developments, it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by $3.4 million for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2016 .

The majority of Cintas' operations are in North America. Cintas is required to file federal income tax returns, as well as state income tax returns in a majority of the domestic states and also in certain Canadian provinces. At times, Cintas is subject to audits in these jurisdictions. The audits, by nature, are sometimes complex and can require several years to resolve. The final resolution of any such tax audit could result in either a reduction in Cintas' accruals or an increase in its income tax provision, either of which could have an impact on the consolidated condensed results of operation in any given period.

9. Acquisitions

On August 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the shares of ZEE Medical, Inc. for acquisition-date fair value consideration of $134.0 million , consisting of cash of $120.6 million and contingent consideration subject to certain holdback provisions of $13.4 million . ZEE Medical will operate within the First Aid and Safety Services reportable operating segment. This acquisition expands our footprint in van delivered first aid, safety, training and emergency products and allows us to serve an even greater number of customers in North America.

The table below summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of ZEE Medical as determined by valuation specialists engaged and overseen by management. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued at the estimated fair value at the acquisition date as required by GAAP.

Cintas is required to provide additional disclosures about fair value measurements as part of the consolidated condensed financial statements for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (including business acquisitions). The working capital assets and liabilities, as well as the property and equipment acquired, were valued using Level 2 inputs which included data points that are observable, such as definitive sales agreements, appraisals or established market values of comparable assets (market approach). Goodwill, service contracts and other intangibles were valued using Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable by nature, and included internal estimates of future cash flow using a discount rate of 11% (income approach).

The results of operations of ZEE Medical are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

10. Litigation and Other Contingencies

Cintas is subject to legal proceedings, insurance receipts, legal settlements and claims arising from the ordinary course of its business, including personal injury, customer contract, environmental and employment claims. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary course of business actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of Cintas.

Cintas is party to additional litigation not considered in the ordinary course of business, including the litigation discussed below. Cintas is a defendant in a purported Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) systemic gender discrimination lawsuit, Mirna E. Serrano, et al. v. Cintas Corporation (Serrano), filed on May 10, 2004, and pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division. The Serrano plaintiffs alleged that Cintas discriminated against women in hiring into various service sales representative (SSR) positions in the Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment. On November 15, 2005, the EEOC intervened in the Serrano lawsuit. The Serrano plaintiffs seek lost pay, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees and other remedies on behalf of unsuccessful female candidates for SSR positions. On October 27, 2008, the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan granted summary judgment in favor of Cintas limiting the scope of the action to female applicants for SSR positions at Cintas locations within the state of Michigan. Consequently, all claims brought by or on behalf of female applicants for SSR positions outside of the state of Michigan were dismissed. Similarly, any claims brought by the EEOC on behalf of similarly situated female applicants outside of the state of Michigan have also been dismissed from the Serrano lawsuit. In September 2010, the Court in Serrano dismissed all private individual claims and all claims of the EEOC and the 13 individuals it claimed to represent. The EEOC appealed the District Court's summary judgment decisions and various other rulings to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On November 9, 2012, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court's opinion and remanded the claims back to the District Court. On April 16, 2013, Cintas filed with the United States Supreme Court a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari seeking to review the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. On October 7, 2013, the Court denied Cintas' Petition, thus remanding the claims back to the District Court consistent with the Sixth Circuit Court's November 9, 2012 decision.

The litigation discussed above, if decided or settled adversely to Cintas, may result in liability material to Cintas' consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operation or consolidated cash flows and could increase costs of operations on an ongoing basis. Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is not determinable at this time. Cintas may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these and other lawsuits, and may enter into settlement agreements if it believes such settlement is in the best interest of Cintas' shareholders.

11. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following table summarizes the changes in the accumulated balances for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax:

The following table summarizes the reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income:

12. Segment Information

GAAP requires companies to evaluate their reportable operating segments periodically and when certain events occur. As a result of a recent evaluation, effective June 1, 2015, Cintas realigned its organizational structure and updated its reportable operating segments in light of certain changes in its business including the acquisition of Zee Medical. Cintas' updated reportable operating segments are Uniform Rental and Facility Services and First Aid and Safety Services. The Uniform Rental and Facility Services reportable operating segment consists of the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments including flame resistant clothing, mats, mops and shop towels and other ancillary items.  In addition to these rental items, restroom cleaning services and supplies, carpet and tile cleaning services and the sale of items from our catalogs to our customers on route are included within this reportable operating segment. The First Aid and Safety Services reportable operating segment consists of first aid and safety products and services. The remainder of Cintas' business, which consists primarily of Fire Protection Services and our Direct Sale business is included in All Other.  

Prior to June 1, 2015, Cintas classified its business into the following three reportable operating segments: The Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products operating segment consisted of the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments including flame resistant clothing, mats, mops and shop towels and other ancillary items. In addition to these rental items, restroom cleaning services and supplies and carpet and tile cleaning services were also provided within this operating segment. The Uniform Direct Sales operating segment consisted of the direct sale of uniforms and related items. The First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment consisted of first aid, safety and fire protection products and services.

Cintas evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on several factors of which the primary financial measures are operating segment revenue and income before income taxes. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 entitled Basis of Presentation. Information related to the operations of Cintas' operating segments is set forth below: 

(1) Corporate assets as of August 31, 2015 include the investment in Shred-it, which is classified as held for sale. Corporate assets as of August 31, 2014 include the assets of Storage, which was classified as held for sale, and the investment in Shred-it.

13. Discontinued Operations

Effective August 31, 2015, Cintas' investment in the Shred-it Partnership (Shred-it) is classified as held for sale and as a discontinued operations for all periods presented as a result of entering into a definitive agreement on July 15, 2015 to sell its investment in Shred-it. During fiscal 2015, Cintas sold its document imaging and retention services (Storage) business and, as a result, its operations are also classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

As of August 31, 2015 and May 31, 2015 , the equity method investment in Shred-it was $194.3 million and $210.1 million , respectively. Cintas' carrying value of its investment in Shred-it, as of August 31, 2015 , exceeded its share of the underlying equity in the net assets of Shred-it by approximately $91.2 million (basis difference). The remaining basis difference is being amortized over the weighted average estimated useful lives of the underlying assets which generated the basis difference (approximately 9 years ) and is recorded as a reduction in our share of income from Shred-it, net of tax. Cintas records its share of Shred-it's income on a one month lag. For the three months ended ended August 31, 2015 , Cintas recorded a net loss on the investment in the Shred-it of $9.3 million , which included amortization of basis differences of approximately $2.8 million . After the previously announced sale of Shred-it closes, the basis difference will no longer exist and Cintas will no longer record income or loss from Shred-it. See Note 15 entitled Subsequent Event for additional information on the sale of the investment in Shred-it.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, Cintas received additional proceeds related to the contribution of its shredding business to the Shred-it Partnership. The Company realized a $3.9 million gain, net of tax, as a result of the additional consideration received.

In fiscal 2015, Cintas sold Storage, excluding related real estate owned by Cintas, in three separate transactions to three separate buyers. Each transaction involves contingent consideration that the Company has an opportunity to receive if specified future events occur. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the future events, these amounts represent gain contingencies that have not been recorded. Certain real estate owned by Cintas is being leased by the buyers. These lease payments do not represent a material direct cash flow of the disposed Storage business and therefore do not impact the classification of the Storage business as a discontinued operation. On July 10, 2015, Cintas sold the remaining Storage assets classified as held for sale. For the quarter ended August 31, 2015 , Cintas received proceeds of $24.4 million from the sale of the remaining Storage assets classified as held for sale and recorded a $3.1 million gain, net of tax on the sale.

Following is selected financial information included in net (loss) income from discontinued operations for Shred-it, Shredding and the Storage business:

(1) Results for the three months ended August 31, 2014 related to the gain on the deconsolidation of Shredding were previously presented in continuing operations and were reclassified to discontinued operations as previously discussed.
