Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | 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, we suggest 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, 2016. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented beginning on page 36 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. 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. Cintas' investment in the Shred-it Partnership (Shred-it) and the shredding business (Shredding) are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented as a result of the sale of Shred-it during fiscal 2016. 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 12 entitled Discontinued Operations for more information. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventory is comprised of the following amounts at:
