NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except per share data)
1.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated condensed financial statements of Cintas Corporation (Cintas) included herein have been prepared by Cintas, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 most recent Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented on page 36 of that report. There has been no material changes in the accounting policies followed by Cintas during the fiscal year, with the exception of the new accounting standard discussed in Note 2 below.
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.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
2.
New Accounting Standard
At February 28, 2007, Cintas had an equity compensation plan, which is described in Note 6. Prior to June 1, 2006, Cintas accounted for this plan under the intrinsic value method proscribed by APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
. Effective June 1, 2006, Cintas adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment
, using the modified-retrospective transition method. Under that transition method, all prior periods have been restated
based on the amounts previously calculated in the pro forma footnote disclosures required by Statement 123. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the statement of income based on their fair values. Due to this restatement, Cintas’ income before income taxes and net income decreased by $1,151 for the three months ended February 28, 2006, and $3,396 for the nine months ended February 28, 2006. This adoption lowered basic earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 from $0.47 per share to $0.46 per share for the quarter. Likewise, diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were lowered from $0.46 per share to $0.45 for the quarter. This adoption also lowered basic earnings per share year-to-date from $1.40 per share to $1.38 per share. In addition, diluted earnings per share year-to-date were lowered from $1.39 per share to $1.37 per share. The cumulative effect of the change on total shareholders’ equity as of May 31, 2006, was less than $1,000.
As a result of adopting Statement 123(R) on June 1, 2006, Cintas’ income before income taxes and net income for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, are $2,746 and $1,739 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion 25. Basic earnings per share are $.02 lower and diluted earnings per share are $.01 lower for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion 25.

Debt, Derivatives and Hedging Activities
On August 15, 2006, Cintas issued $250,000 of senior notes due in 2036. This debt bears an interest rate of 6.15% paid semi-annually beginning February 15, 2007. The proceeds generated from the offering were used to repay a portion of our outstanding commercial paper borrowings.
Cintas formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Cintas’ hedging activities are transacted only with highly-rated institutions, reducing the exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance. Cintas periodically uses derivatives for fair value hedging and cash flow hedging purposes. There were no fair value hedges in place as of February 28, 2007.
Cash flow hedges are derivative instruments that hedge the exposure of variability in short-term interest rates. These agreements effectively convert a portion of the floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The effective portion of the net gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains or losses on the ineffective portion of the hedge are charged to earnings in the current period. When outstanding, the effectiveness of these derivative instruments is reviewed at least every fiscal quarter. Examples of cash flow hedging instruments that Cintas may use are interest rate swaps, lock agreements and forward starting swaps. There were no interest rate swap or lock agreements outstanding as of February 28, 2007. There was a cash settled forward starting swap in place as of February 28, 2007, which is discussed below.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Cintas entered into a cash settled forward starting swap to protect forecasted interest payments from interest rate movement for an anticipated $200,000 debt issuance in fiscal 2008. The Hypothetical Derivative Method is used to measure hedge effectiveness. Cintas expects the forward starting swap to be perfectly effective as the critical terms of the anticipated debt issuance will perfectly offset the hedged cash flows of the forecasted interest payments. When the $200,000 of hedged debt is issued, the lender will make a payment to Cintas if the 30-year Treasury rate has increased since the inception of the cash settled forward starting swap. Conversely, if the 30-year Treasury rate decreases during that period, Cintas will pay the lender. The value of the cash settled forward starting swap prior to the debt issuance is recorded in other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity and other assets or accrued liabilities depending on the value of the swap at the end of each reporting period. Once the debt is issued, the value of the forward starting swap will be settled with cash and will be amortized to earnings over the term of the debt issuance.
Cintas used interest rate lock agreements to hedge against movements in the treasury rates at the time Cintas issued its senior notes, both for the senior notes issued in fiscal 2002 and the senior notes issued in fiscal 2007. The amortization of the cash flow hedges resulted in a credit to other comprehensive income of $104 for the three months ended February 28, 2007, and $281 for the nine months ended February 28, 2007.
Cintas has certain significant 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 capitalization and interest coverage ratios. Cross default provisions exist between certain debt instruments. Cintas is in compliance with all of the significant debt covenants for all periods presented. Were a default of a significant covenant to occur, the default could result in an acceleration of indebtedness, impair liquidity and limit the ability to raise future capital. Cintas’ debt, net of cash and marketable securities, is $726,022 as of February 28, 2007. For the nine months ended February 28, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities was $322,077 and capital expenditures were $128,636.

Stock-Based Compensation
Under the 2005 equity compensation plan, which was approved by shareholders and adopted by Cintas in fiscal 2006, Cintas may grant officers and key employees equity compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock, performance awards and other stock unit awards up to an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of Cintas' common stock. The compensation cost charged against income was $1,497 and $1,462 for the three month periods ended February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, respectively. The compensation cost charged against income was $2,746 and $4,507 for the nine month periods ended February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, respectively. The amount recorded in the nine month period ended February 28, 2007, reflects a cumulative catch-up adjustment of $2,169 ($2,088 after tax), due to a change in the estimated forfeitures for certain existing stock option and restricted stock grants. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, are both $.01 higher, respectively, due to this change in estimated forfeitures. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was $310 and $117 for the three month periods ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and was $1,007 and $418 for the nine month periods ended February 28, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Stock Options
Stock options are granted at the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The option terms are determined by the Cintas Compensation Committee, but no stock option may be exercised later than ten years after the date of the grant. The option awards generally have ten year terms with graded vesting in years five through ten based on continuous service during that period. Cintas recognizes compensation expense for these options using the straight-line recognition method over the vesting period.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options. The determination of expected volatility is based on historical volatility of Cintas stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of stock options, as well as other relevant factors. The weighted average expected term was determined based on the historical employee exercise behavior of the options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended February 28, 2007, was $17.39 and was $20.95 for the three months ended February 28, 2006. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended February 28, 2007, was $16.02 and was $20.95 for the nine months ended February 28, 2006.
The information presented in the following table relates primarily to stock options granted and outstanding under either the plan adopted in fiscal 2006 or under previously adopted plans:

The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and restricted stock at February 28, 2007, was approximately $41,639, and the weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is 3.7 years.
Cintas reserves shares of common stock to satisfy share option exercises and/or future restricted stock grants.
At February, 2007, 13,205,262 shares of common stock are reserved for future issuance under the 2005 plan.
During fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a resolution to accelerate the vesting for certain “out-of-the-money” options. The “out-of-the-money” options that were accelerated were provided to employees during fiscal 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The Compensation Committee approved this acceleration in order to provide these employees the increased benefit of exercising these options when they become “in-the-money” and to avoid recognizing future compensation expense related to outstanding options under Statement 123(R). After amendment of all underlying option agreements, compensation expense to be recognized in the statement of income during the first year of adoption of Statement 123(R) was reduced by approximately $3,500.
7.
Comprehensive Income
Total comprehensive income represents the net change in shareholders' equity during a period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such, includes net earnings. For Cintas, the only components of total comprehensive income are the change in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments, the change in the fair value of derivatives and the change in the fair value of available-for-sale securities. The components of comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006 are as follows:

Litigation and Other Contingencies
Cintas is subject to legal proceedings 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 or results of operations 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 class action lawsuit,
Paul Veliz, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, filed on March 19, 2003, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, Oakland Division, alleging that Cintas violated certain federal and state wage and hour laws applicable to its service sales representatives, whom Cintas considers exempt employees, and asserting additional related ERISA claims. On August 23, 2005, an amended complaint was filed alleging additional state law wage and hour claims under the following state laws: Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief or both. Cintas denies these claims and is defending the plaintiffs’ allegations. On February 14, 2006, the court ordered a majority of the opt-in plaintiffs to arbitrate their claims in accordance with the terms of their Cintas employment agreement. On February 14, 2006, the court also permitted plaintiffs to file a second amended complaint alleging state law claims in the 15 states listed above only with respect to the putative class members that may litigate their claims in court. No determination has been made by the court or an arbitrator regarding class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. If a court or arbitrator certifies a class in this action and there is an adverse verdict on the merits, or in the event of a negotiated settlement of the action, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.
Cintas also is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit,
Mirna E. Serrano, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, filed on May 10, 2004, and pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (“
Serrano
”).
Serrano
alleges that Cintas discriminated against women in
13
CINTAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands except per share data)
hiring into various SSR positions across all divisions of Cintas throughout the United States. On November 15, 2005, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) intervened in the
Serrano
lawsuit. The
Serrano
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. Cintas is a defendant in another purported class action lawsuit,
Nelly Blanca Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, currently pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (“
Avalos
”).
Avalos
alleges that Cintas discriminated against women, African-Americans and Hispanics in hiring into various SSR positions in Cintas’ Rental division only throughout the United States. On April 27, 2005, the EEOC intervened in the claims asserted in
Avalos
. The
Avalos
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. The claims in
Avalos
originally were brought in the previously disclosed lawsuit captioned
Robert Ramirez, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, filed on January 20, 2004, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division (“
Ramirez
”). On May 11, 2006, however, those claims were severed from
Ramirez
and transferred to the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, where the case was re-named
Avalos
. On July 10, 2006,
Avalos
and
Serrano
were consolidated for all pretrial purposes, including proceedings on class certification. The consolidated case is known as
Mirna E. Serrano/Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, and remains pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (“
Serrano/Avalos
”). No filings or determinations have been made in
Serrano/Avalos
as to class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. The non-SSR hiring claims in the previously disclosed
Ramirez
case that have not been dismissed remain pending in the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, but were ordered to arbitration and stayed pending the completion of arbitration. The
Ramirez
purported class action claims currently in arbitration include allegations that Cintas failed to promote Hispanics into supervisory positions, discriminated against African-Americans and Hispanics in SSR route assignments and discriminated against African-Americans in hourly pay in Cintas’ Rental division only throughout the United States. The
Ramirez
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. No filings or determinations have been made in
Ramirez
as to class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. In addition, a class action lawsuit,
Larry Houston, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
was filed on August 3, 2005, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of African-American managers alleging racial discrimination (“
Houston
”). On November 22, 2005, the court entered an order requiring the named plaintiffs in the
Houston
lawsuit to arbitrate all of their claims for monetary damages. If there is an adverse verdict or a negotiated settlement of all or any of these actions, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is not determinable at this time.
Several other similar
administrative proceedings are pending including two charges filed on November 30, 2004, by an EEOC Commissioner with the EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging:
(i) failure to hire and assign females to production job positions; and (ii) failure to hire females,
African-Americans and Hispanics into the Management Trainee program. The investigations of these allegations are pending and no determinations have been made.
On August 29, 2006,
the EEOC Indianapolis District Office issued a
dismissal and notice of rights and closed its file on the Clifton Cooper charge served on
Cintas on March 23, 2005,
by Cooper on behalf of himself and a similarly situated class
with the EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging discriminatory pay and treatment due to
race. Mr. Cooper’s claims are now part of the
Houston
arbitration matter disclosed hereinabove.
Cintas is also a defendant in a lawsuit,
J. Lester Alexander, III vs. Cintas Corporation, et al
., which was originally filed on October 25, 2004, and is currently pending in the Circuit Court of Randolph County, Alabama. The case was brought by J. Lester Alexander, III, the Chapter 7 Trustee (the “Trustee”) of Terry Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("TMC") and Terry Uniform Company, LLC ("TUC"), against Cintas in Randolph County, Alabama. The Trustee seeks damages against Cintas for allegedly breaching fiduciary duties to TMC and TUC and for allegedly aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties by others to
14
CINTAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands except per share data)
those entities. The complaint also includes allegations that Cintas breached certain limited liability company agreements, or alternatively, misrepresented its intention to perform its obligations in those agreements and acted as alter egos of the bankrupt TMC and is therefore liable for all of TMC's debts. The Trustee is seeking $50,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages. Cintas denies these claims and is vigorously defending itself against all claims in the complaint. Cintas filed counterclaims against J. Lester Alexander, III and cross claims against Roy Terry, Rudolph Terry and Cotina Terry (collectively referred to herein as the Individual Co-Defendants). The Individual Co-Defendants have filed cross claims against Cintas alleging fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and wantonness. If there is an adverse verdict on the merits or in the event of a negotiated settlement of this lawsuit, the resulting liability could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.
The litigation discussed above, if decided adversely to or settled by Cintas, may, individually or in the aggregate, result in liability material to Cintas’ financial condition or results of operations. 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 interests of Cintas’ shareholders.
9.
Segment Information
Cintas classifies its businesses into two operating segments, Rentals and Other Services, based on the similar economic characteristics of the products and services within each segment.

CINTAS CORPORATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Cintas provides highly specialized products and services to businesses of all types throughout the United States and Canada. We are North America's leading provider of corporate identity uniforms through rental and sales programs, as well as a significant provider of related business services, including entrance mats, restroom products and services, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products. Our products and services are designed to enhance our customers’ images and to provide additional safety and protection in the workplace.
Our business strategy is to increase our market share of the uniform rental and sales business in North America through the sale of new uniform programs and to provide our customers with all of the products and services we offer. We will also continue to identify additional product and service opportunities for our current and future customers. Our long-term goal is to provide a product or service to every business in North America.
To pursue this strategy, we focus on the development of a highly talented and diverse team of employees (whom we call partners) - a team that is properly trained and motivated to service our customers. We support our partners' service efforts by providing superior products with distinct competitive advantages, and we embrace technological advances.
Continuous cost containment and product and process innovation are considered hallmarks of our organization. In order to sustain these efforts, we employ a Six Sigma effort within Cintas. Six Sigma is an analytical process that assists companies in improving quality and customer satisfaction while reducing cycle time and operating costs. We are pleased with our progress in this endeavor and are optimistic about the improved efficiencies that this process has and will continue to yield to Cintas.
We continue to leverage our size and core competencies to become a more valued business service provider to our current and future customers. We will also continue to supplement our internal growth with strategic acquisitions and the cultivation of new businesses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cintas classifies its businesses into two operating segments, Rentals and Other Services, based on the similar economic characteristics of the products and services within each segment. The Rentals operating segment reflects the rental and servicing of uniforms and other garments, mats, mops and shop towels. In addition to these rental items, we also provide our restroom and hygiene products and services within this segment. The Other Services operating segment consists of the direct sale of uniforms and related items, first aid, safety and fire protection products and services, document management services and branded promotional products. Both segments provide these products and services throughout the United States and Canada to businesses of all types - from small service and manufacturing companies to major corporations that employ thousands of people.
New Accounting Pronouncement
At February 28, 2007, Cintas had an equity compensation plan, which is more fully described in Note 6 entitled Stock-Based Compensation of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” Prior to June 1, 2006, Cintas accounted for this plan under the intrinsic value method proscribed by APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
. Effective June 1, 2006, Cintas adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment
, using the
25
modified-retrospective transition method. Under that transition method, all prior periods have been restated
based on the amounts previously calculated in the pro forma footnote disclosures required by Statement 123. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the statement of income based on their fair values. Due to this restatement, Cintas’ income before income taxes and net income decreased by $1.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2006, and $3.4 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2006. This adoption lowered basic earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 from $0.47 per share to $0.46 per share for the quarter. Likewise, diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were lowered from $0.46 per share to $0.45 for the quarter. This adoption also lowered basic earnings per share year-to-date from $1.40 per share to $1.38 per share. In addition, diluted earnings per share year-to-date were lowered from $1.39 per share to $1.37 per share. The cumulative effect of the change on total shareholders’ equity as of May 31, 2006, was less than $1,000.
As a result of adopting Statement 123(R) on June 1, 2006, Cintas’ income before income taxes and net income for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, are $2.7 million and $1.7 million lower than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion 25. Basic earnings per share are $.02 lower and diluted earnings per share are $.01 lower for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, than if Cintas had continued to account for share-based compensation under Opinion 25.
Three Months Ended February 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended February 2006
Revenue, Expenses and Income
Revenue Comparison
Total revenue increased 8.2% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in fiscal 2006. Internal growth for this period was 4.5%. The remaining 3.7% represents growth derived mainly through the acquisitions of uniform and mat rental businesses in our Rentals segment and acquisitions of first aid, safety and fire protection businesses and document management businesses within our Other Services segment.
Net Rentals revenue increased 5.4% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Rentals operating segment internal growth for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 3.0% as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006. The Net Rentals revenue internal growth is primarily due to the sale of new rental programs to customers, offset by lost business. The remaining growth was generated primarily through the acquisition of uniform and mat rental businesses.
Other Services revenue increased 16.9% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in the prior year. Other Services operating segment internal growth for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 9.3% as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006. This internal growth was generated primarily through the increased direct sale of uniforms to national customers and increased sales of first aid and safety products and services and document management services to customers. The additional growth was generated through a combination of acquisitions of first aid, safety and fire protection businesses and document management businesses.
Expense Comparison
Cost of rentals consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels and other rental items. Cost of rentals increased 5.9% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006. This increase reflects a rise in material costs of $8.6 million due to increased Rentals revenue and an increase in delivery labor of $8.7 million due to increased Rentals revenue and the introduction of our restroom cleaning service. These increases were offset by an 8.2% decrease in Rentals energy costs from approximately $28 million in the three months ended February 28, 2006, to approximately $26 million in the three months ended February 28, 2007.
26
Cost of other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses. Cost of other services increased 11.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006. This increase was mainly due to increased sales in this segment. Gross margin within this segment may fluctuate depending on the type of product or service sold, as more cost efficient sourcing is employed and as products which require additional services or specialization generate higher gross margins. For example, tailored garments that incorporate high levels of design and customization tend to generate higher gross margins than work wear and standard catalog items. The current quarter’s gross margin is 38.1%, which is slightly higher than the expected range of 32% to 37% for this segment. However, the gross margin for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, continues to be within the expected range.
Selling and administrative expenses increased 12.8% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2006. In order to accelerate revenue growth, we continue to increase our sales force, marketing plans and sales promotions. We have also reorganized our sales efforts this fiscal year to become more efficient and productive. These measures combined to increase our selling costs by $10.7 million over the prior year. The cost of providing medical and retirement benefits to our employees increased $7.4 million, representing a 21.4% increase over the prior year. In addition, administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million as a result of an increase in professional services relating to legal and the outsourcing of certain human resource functions. Administrative expenses also increased by $1.9 million due to the amortization of intangibles obtained with new acquisitions.
Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $10.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $5.3 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase in net interest expense is primarily due to the increased level of borrowing used to fund acquisitions and to fund the stock buyback program.
Cintas’ effective tax rate is 37.3% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, which is consistent with the first half of fiscal 2007. This effective tax rate is lower than the effective tax rate of 37.8% for the three months ended February 28, 2006, as a result of changes in state tax rates.
Income Comparison
Net income increased 0.2% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in fiscal 2006, primarily due to revenue growth. Diluted earnings per share increased 6.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is greater than the net income increase of 0.2% due to the impact of the stock buyback program.
Nine Months Ended February 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended February 2006
Revenue, Expenses and Income
Revenue Comparison
Total revenue increased 9.9% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in fiscal 2006. Internal growth for this period was 5.6%. The remaining 4.3% represents growth derived mainly through the acquisitions of uniform and mat rental businesses in our Rentals segment and acquisitions of first aid, safety and fire protection businesses and document management businesses within our Other Services segment.
Net Rentals revenue increased 7.8% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Rentals operating segment internal growth through the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 4.8% as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006. The net Rentals revenue growth is primarily due to the sale of new rental programs to customers, offset by lost business. The remaining growth was generated primarily through the acquisition of uniform and mat rental businesses.
27
Other Services revenue increased 16.6% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in the prior year. Other Services operating segment internal growth through the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 8.2% as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006. This internal growth was generated primarily through the increased direct sale of uniforms to national customers and increased sales of first aid and safety products and services and document management services to customers. The additional growth was generated through a combination of acquisitions of first aid, safety and fire protection businesses and document management businesses.
Expense Comparison
Cost of rentals consists primarily of production expenses, delivery expenses and the amortization of in service inventory, including uniforms, mats, shop towels and other rental items. Cost of rentals increased 8.6% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006, reflecting the growth in Rentals revenue. In addition, we incurred $3.7 million in impairment and other related charges due to the closing of a Detroit, Michigan Rental processing plant. Partially offsetting these increased costs was an insurance recovery of $1.9 million representing receipt of the final settlement of our claims related to the hurricanes which occurred in fiscal 2006. As a result of these items, cost of rentals increased as a percent of Rentals revenue to 55.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to 55.0% for the nine months ended February 28, 2006.
Cost of other services consists primarily of cost of goods sold (predominantly uniforms and first aid products), delivery expenses and distribution expenses. Cost of other services increased 12.3% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006. This increase was mainly due to increased sales in this segment. Gross margin within this segment may fluctuate depending on the type of product or service sold, as more cost efficient sourcing is employed and as products which require additional services or specialization generate higher gross margins. For example, tailored garments that incorporate high levels of design and customization tend to generate higher gross margins than work wear and standard catalog items. The gross margin for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, is 36.7%, which is in line with the expected range of 32% to 37% for this segment.
Selling and administrative expenses increased 11.3% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue increased 0.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, as compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2006. In order to accelerate revenue growth, we continue to increase our sales force, marketing plans and sales promotions. We have also reorganized our sales efforts this fiscal year to become more efficient and productive. These measures combined to increase our selling costs by $20.8 million over the prior year. The cost of providing medical and retirement benefits to our employees increased $22.2 million, representing a 21.9% increase over the prior year. In addition, administrative expenses increased by $6.4 million as a result of an increase in professional services relating to legal and the outsourcing of certain human resource functions. Administrative expenses also increased by $5.9 million due to the amortization of intangibles obtained with new acquisitions.
Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $32.0 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, compared to $17.1 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase in net interest expense is primarily due to the increased level of borrowing used to fund acquisitions and to fund the stock buyback program.
Cintas’ effective tax rate is 37.3% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007. This effective tax rate is lower than the effective tax rate of 37.6% for the nine months ended February 28, 2006, as a result of changes in state tax rates.
Income Comparison
Net income increased 5.3% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in fiscal 2006, primarily due to revenue growth. Diluted earnings per share increased 10.9% for the nine months ended February 28, 2007, over the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is greater than the net income increase of 5.3% due to the impact of the stock buyback program.
28
Financial
Condition
At February 28, 2007, there was $157 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, a decrease of $84 million from May 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to pre-funding of employee medical costs and the purchasing of our company stock, as discussed below. Capital expenditures were approximately $129 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2007. We expect capital expenditures for the year to be between $160 and $170 million. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to be used to finance future acquisitions, capital expenditures, expansion and additional purchases under the stock buyback program as detailed below. We believe that our current cash position, funds generated from operations and the strength of our banking relationships provides sufficient means to meet our anticipated operational and capital requirements.
Net property and equipment increased by $37 million from May 31, 2006 to February 28, 2007, due to our continued investment in rental facilities and equipment. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2007, Cintas had three uniform rental facilities under construction.
In May, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized and announced a $500 million stock buyback program. This program was essentially completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Board of Directors approved an expansion of this share buyback program in July, 2006 by an additional $500 million. For the three months ended February 28, 2007, Cintas purchased approximately 1.4 million shares of Cintas stock at an average price of $40.68 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $57 million. From the inception of the stock buyback program through February 28, 2007, Cintas has purchased a total of approximately 14.2 million shares of Cintas stock, or approximately 8% of the total shares outstanding at the beginning of the program, at an average price of $40.89 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $580 million.

Cintas has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than a synthetic lease on a corporate jet. The synthetic lease on the aircraft does not currently have, and is not reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on Cintas’ financial condition, changes in Cintas’ financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Litigation and Other Contingencies
Cintas is subject to legal proceedings 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 or results of operations 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 class action lawsuit,
Paul Veliz, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, filed on March 19, 2003, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, Oakland Division, alleging that Cintas violated certain federal and state wage and hour laws applicable to its service sales representatives, whom Cintas considers exempt employees, and asserting additional related ERISA claims. On August 23, 2005, an amended complaint was filed alleging additional state law wage and hour claims under the following state laws: Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief or both. Cintas denies these claims and is defending the plaintiffs’ allegations. On February 14, 2006, the court ordered a majority of the opt-in plaintiffs to arbitrate their claims in accordance with the terms of their Cintas employment agreement. On February 14, 2006, the court also permitted plaintiffs to file a second amended complaint alleging state law claims in the 15 states listed above only with respect to the putative class members that may litigate their claims in court. No determination has been made by the court or an arbitrator regarding class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. If a court or arbitrator certifies a class in this action and there is an adverse verdict on the merits, or in the event of a negotiated settlement of the action, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.
Cintas also is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit,
Mirna E. Serrano, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, filed on May 10, 2004, and pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (“
Serrano
”).
Serrano
alleges that Cintas discriminated against women in
hiring into various SSR positions across all divisions of Cintas throughout the United States. On November 15, 2005, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) intervened in the
Serrano
lawsuit. The
Serrano
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. Cintas is a defendant in another purported class action lawsuit,
Nelly Blanca Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, currently pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (“
Avalos
”).
Avalos
alleges that Cintas discriminated against
30
women, African-Americans and Hispanics in hiring into various SSR positions in Cintas’ Rental division only throughout the United States. On April 27, 2005, the EEOC intervened in the claims asserted in
Avalos
. The
Avalos
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. The claims in
Avalos
originally were brought in the previously disclosed lawsuit captioned
Robert Ramirez, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, filed on January 20, 2004, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division (“
Ramirez
”). On May 11, 2006, however, those claims were severed from
Ramirez
and transferred to the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, where the case was re-named
Avalos
. On July 10, 2006,
Avalos
and
Serrano
were consolidated for all pretrial purposes, including proceedings on class certification. The consolidated case is known as
Mirna E. Serrano/Blanca Nelly Avalos, et al. v. Cintas Corporation
, and remains pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division (“
Serrano/Avalos
”). No filings or determinations have been made in
Serrano/Avalos
as to class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. The non-SSR hiring claims in the previously disclosed
Ramirez
case that have not been dismissed remain pending in the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, but were ordered to arbitration and stayed pending the completion of arbitration. The
Ramirez
purported class action claims currently in arbitration include allegations that Cintas failed to promote Hispanics into supervisory positions, discriminated against African-Americans and Hispanics in SSR route assignments and discriminated against African-Americans in hourly pay in Cintas’ Rental division only throughout the United States. The
Ramirez
plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and other remedies. No filings or determinations have been made in
Ramirez
as to class certification. There can be no assurance as to whether a class will be certified or, if a class is certified, as to the geographic or other scope of such class. In addition, a class action lawsuit,
Larry Houston, et al. v. Cintas Corporation,
was filed on August 3, 2005, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of African-American managers alleging racial discrimination (“
Houston
”). On November 22, 2005, the court entered an order requiring the named plaintiffs in the
Houston
lawsuit to arbitrate all of their claims for monetary damages. If there is an adverse verdict or a negotiated settlement of all or any of these actions, the resulting liability and/or any increased costs of operations on an ongoing basis could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to these proceedings is not determinable at this time.
Several other similar administrative proceedings are pending including two charges filed on November 30, 2004, by an EEOC Commissioner with the EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging: (i) failure to hire and assign females to production job positions; and (ii) failure to hire females, African-Americans and Hispanics into the Management Trainee program. The investigations of these allegations are pending and no determinations have been made.
On August 29, 2006, the EEOC Indianapolis District Office issued a dismissal and notice of rights and closed its file on the Clifton Cooper charge served on Cintas on March 23, 2005, by Cooper on behalf of himself and a similarly situated class with the EEOC Systemic Litigation Unit alleging discriminatory pay and treatment due to race. Mr. Cooper’s claims are now part of the
Houston
arbitration matter disclosed hereinabove.
Cintas is also a defendant in a lawsuit,
J. Lester Alexander, III vs. Cintas Corporation, et al
., which was originally filed on October 25, 2004, and is currently pending in the Circuit Court of Randolph County, Alabama. The case was brought by J. Lester Alexander, III, the Chapter 7 Trustee (the “Trustee”) of Terry Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("TMC") and Terry Uniform Company, LLC ("TUC"), against Cintas in Randolph County, Alabama. The Trustee seeks damages against Cintas for allegedly breaching fiduciary duties to TMC and TUC and for allegedly aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties by others to
those entities. The complaint also includes allegations that Cintas breached certain limited liability company agreements, or alternatively, misrepresented its intention to perform its obligations in those agreements and acted as alter egos of the bankrupt TMC and is therefore liable for all of TMC's debts. The Trustee is seeking $50 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages. Cintas denies these claims and is vigorously defending itself against all claims in the complaint. Cintas filed counterclaims against J. Lester Alexander, III and cross claims against Roy Terry, Rudolph Terry and Cotina Terry (collectively referred to herein as the Individual Co-Defendants). The Individual Co-Defendants have filed cross claims against Cintas alleging fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and wantonness. If there is an adverse verdict on the merits or in the event of a negotiated settlement of this lawsuit, the resulting liability could be material to Cintas. Any estimated liability relating to this lawsuit is not determinable at this time.
31
The litigation discussed above, if decided adversely to or settled by Cintas, may, individually or in the aggregate, result in liability material to Cintas’ financial condition or results of operations. 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 interests of Cintas’ shareholders.
Outlook
As we look forward to the remainder of fiscal 2007, our outlook remains positive, but guarded. In an effort to further increase our revenue, we have reorganized our sales efforts to become more efficient and productive. In the short term, this change has caused disruption due to the promotion of many high-performing sales reps into management jobs, the time to train them in their new roles and the time necessary to develop their newly hired replacements. We anticipate the full benefit of this new organization will be felt as these new sales representatives become fully productive.
We will also continue searching out additional products and services to become an even more valuable resource for our customers. As such, we see upside potential for all of our business units. Although difficult to predict, we anticipate continued growth in all of our business units.
In the marketplace, competition and related pricing pressure will continue; however, we believe cost containment initiatives, technological advances and continued leverage of our infrastructure will soften or offset any impact.
When appropriate opportunities arise, we will supplement our internal growth with strategic acquisitions.
Like most other companies, we experienced, and anticipate continuing to experience, increased costs for wages and benefits, including medical benefits. Changes in energy costs and changes in federal and state tax laws also impact our results.
For the remainder of fiscal year 2007, we expect our effective tax rate to be consistent with that of the nine months ended February 28, 2007.
We will continue to evaluate the opportunities for executing the stock buyback program that was approved by the Board of Directors in May, 2005 and expanded in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Cintas continues to be the target of a corporate unionization campaign by Unite Here and the Teamsters unions. These unions are attempting to pressure Cintas into surrendering our employees' rights to a government-supervised election and unilaterally accept union representation. Cintas' philosophy in regard to unions is straightforward: We believe that employees have the right to say yes to union representation and the freedom to say no. This campaign could be materially disruptive to our business and could materially adversely affect results of operations. We will continue to vigorously oppose this campaign and to defend our employees' rights.
We believe that the high level of customer service provided by our partners and supported by our infrastructure, quality products, financial resources and corporate culture will provide for continued business success. However, a number of factors influence future revenue, margins and profit which make forecasting difficult.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
In our normal operations, Cintas has market risk exposure to interest rates. This market risk exposure to interest rates has been previously disclosed on page 28 of our most recent Form 10-K.
Through its foreign operations, Cintas is exposed to foreign currency risk. Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and from foreign denominated revenue and profit translated into U.S. dollars. The primary foreign currency to which Cintas is exposed is the Canadian dollar. Cintas does not currently use forward exchange contracts to limit potential losses in earnings or cash flows from foreign currency exchange rate movements.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of Cintas’ management, including Cintas’ Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Controllers, Cintas has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of February 28, 2007. Based on such evaluation, Cintas’ management, including Cintas’ Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Controllers, have concluded that Cintas’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of February 28, 2007, in ensuring (i) information required to be disclosed by Cintas in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by Cintas in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Cintas’ management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Cintas’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. See “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” and “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” on pages 29 and 30 of our most recent Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor from civil litigation for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “could,” “should,” “may” and “will” or the negative versions thereof and similar expressions and by the context in which they are used. Such statements are based upon current expectations of Cintas and speak only as of the date made. These statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in or implied by this Quarterly Report. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the possibility of greater than anticipated operating costs including energy costs, lower sales volumes, the performance and costs of
integration of acquisitions
, fluctuations in costs of materials and labor including increased medical costs, costs and possible effects of union organizing activities, uncertainties regarding any existing or newly-discovered expenses and liabilities related to environmental compliance and remediation, the cost, results and ongoing assessment of internal controls for financial reporting required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the initiation or outcome of litigation, higher assumed sourcing or distribution costs of products, the disruption of operations from catastrophic events, changes in federal and state tax laws and the reactions of competitors in terms of price and service. Cintas undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which they are made.
Also note that we provide a cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possibly inaccurate assumptions relevant to our businesses in Part II, Item 1A, of this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2006. These are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider the risk factors identified in Part II, Item 1A, in this Quarterly Report and in our Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2006, to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties
