Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information Effective August 31, 2014, Cintas classifies its businesses into three operating segments based on the types of products and services provided. The Rental Uniforms and Ancillary Products 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 and carpet and tile cleaning services are also provided within this operating segment. The Uniform Direct Sales operating segment consists of the direct sale of uniforms and related items. The First Aid, Safety and Fire Protection Services operating segment consists of first aid, safety and fire protection products and services. Prior to August 31, 2014, Cintas classified its business into four operating segments. The Document Management Services operating segment is no longer considered an operating segment for fiscal 2015 and beyond. This operating segment consisted of document shredding, document imaging and document retention services. On April 30, 2014, Cintas completed its partnership transaction with the shareholders of Shred-it to combine Cintas' shredding business with Shred-it's shredding business. The document destruction business is reported in the corporate segment for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2013. Additionally, effective August 31, 2014, the document imaging and document retention services business is classified as discontinued operations. The document imaging and document retention services business has been excluded from segment results for all periods presented. Please see Note 12 entitled Discontinued Operations for additional information. 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:
