Scott D. Farmer, Cintas' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The COVID-19 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic remains a significant disruption to the economy and our business. Our objectives include keeping our employees, whom we call partners, healthy and safe and serving our customers in any way possible. I am pleased with our performance on both priorities, and I thank our employee-partners for their unwavering passion, strong work ethic, and commitment."

Mr. Farmer concluded, "Visibility to future financial performance remains impaired due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we are not providing fiscal year financial guidance at this time. However, we will provide our second quarter financial estimates. We expect our second quarter revenue to be in the range of $1.725 billion to $1.750 billion and diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.20. Despite the short-term uncertainty, I'm confident in our ability to continue to manage the volatility while maintaining focus on our compelling long-term objectives. Our value proposition of getting businesses Ready for the Workday® by providing essential, unparalleled image, safety, cleanliness and compliance resonates loudly in a society focused on health, readiness and outsourcing of non-core activities."
