Vestis’ fiscal 2024 revenue decreased 0.7% versus fiscal 2023.
Excluding the impact of foreign currency, Vestis’ revenue decreased
0.6%.
Fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 170 basis points,
which included an approximately 65 basis point impact from higher
public company costs as compared to the prior year. The net effect
of lower volumes, higher net energy costs (net of the elimination
of the prior year temporary energy fee), and higher public company
costs outweighed the favorable impact of pricing compared to the
prior year.

Vestis’ fourth quarter fiscal 2024 revenue decreased 4.4% versus
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign
currency, Vestis’ revenue decreased 4.3%.
Fourth quarter fiscal 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin declined by
400 basis points, which included an approximately 75 basis point
impact from higher public company costs as compared to the prior
year. The margin decline was primarily attributable to lower net
volumes and lower pricing from the erosion of price increases that
favorably impacted the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Vestis’ net cash provided by operating activities of $471.8
million for fiscal year 2024 increased 83.6% relative to fiscal
year 2023. Free cash flow of $165.2 million for fiscal year 2024
decreased (13.2)% relative to fiscal year 2023.
As of September 27, 2024, total principal debt outstanding was
$1.16 billion, which represents a $337.5 million reduction in
fiscal 2024 of which $298.0 million was voluntarily prepaid at the
time of payment. Net leverage was 3.62x at the end 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 initial trade receivables sold under the A/R
Facility were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings
under the existing term loans.
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.035 per common share payable on January 6, 2025 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on December 13,
2024.
Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook
The Company expects fiscal 2025 revenue to be in the range of
$2.8 billion to $2.83 billion and fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to be
in the range of $345 million to $360 million.
The Company’s fiscal 2025 guidance is provided on a normalized
52-week fiscal year basis. Fiscal 2025 reported financials will
include the impact of a 53rd week, with the extra week impacting
the fourth quarter.
The Company’s strategic imperatives include disciplined capital
allocation with deleveraging as a priority. The Company continues
to expect strong free cash flow conversion and anticipate a ratio
of free cash flow to Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 50%.
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
2025 and adjusted EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2025 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 fourth quarter
2024 results and outlook on Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 8:30 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 Free Cash
Flow to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio. 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.
Adjusted Revenue Growth (Organic)
Adjusted Revenue Growth (Organic) measures our revenue growth
trends excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency,
and we believe it is useful for investors to understand growth
through internal efforts. We define “organic revenue growth” as the
growth in revenues, excluding (i) acquisitions, (ii) the impact of
foreign currency exchange rate changes, and (iii) the impact of the
53rd week, when applicable.
Adjusted Revenue (Organic)
Adjusted Revenue (Organic) represents revenue as determined in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, adjusted to exclude (i) acquisitions,

Fee

fee” as the growth in revenues, excluding (i) acquisitions, (ii)
the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, (iii) the
impact of the 53rd week, when applicable and (iv) the impact of the
temporary energy fee, when applicable. We believe it is useful for
investors to understand growth through internal efforts.
Adjusted Revenue excluding Temporary Energy Fee
Adjusted Revenue excluding Temporary Energy Fee represents
revenue as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, adjusted to
exclude (i) acquisitions, (ii) the impact of foreign currency
exchange rate changes, (iii) the impact of the 53rd week, when
applicable, and (iv) the impact of the temporary energy fee, when
applicable.

Adjusted results are presented in order to reflect the results in a
manner that allows a better understanding of operational activities
separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the
long-term benefit of the company and other items impacting
comparability between periods. Similar adjustments have been
recorded in earlier periods and similar types of adjustments can
reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods.
Adjusted Operating Income Margin
Adjusted Operating Income Margin represents Adjusted Operating
Income as a percentage of Revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA

Settlements; and other items impacting comparability. Adjusted
results are presented in order to reflect the results in a manner
