The Fire Protection Services and Uniform Direct Sales operating segments are included within All Other as disclosed in Note 11 entitled Segment Information. Revenue Recognition Policy Approximately 95% of the Company's revenue is derived from fees for route servicing of Uniform Rental and Facility Services, First Aid and Safety Services and Fire Protection Services customers, performed by a Cintas employee-partner, at the customer's location of business. Revenue from our route servicing customer contracts represents a single-performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue over time as services are performed, based on the nature of services provided and contractual rates (output method) or at a point in time when the performance obligation under the terms of the contract with a customer is satisfied, at the customer's location of business. The Company's performance period generally corresponds with the monthly invoice period. The Company's remaining revenue, primarily within the Uniform Direct Sales operating segment, and representing approximately 5% of the Company's total revenue, is recognized when the obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. This generally occurs when the goods are transferred to the customer. We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our trade receivables. We determine the allowance for credit losses using both an estimate, based on historical rates of collections, and reserves for specific accounts identified as uncollectible. The portion of the allowance for credit losses that is an estimate based on Cintas' historical rates of collections is recorded for overdue amounts, beginning with a nominal percentage when the account is current and increasing substantially as the account ages. The amount provided as the account ages will differ slightly between the Uniform Rental and Facility Services reportable operating segment, the First Aid and Safety Services reportable operating segment and All Other because of differences in customers served and the nature of each business. We update our allowance for credit losses quarterly, considering recent write-offs and collections information and underlying economic expectations. Costs to Obtain a Contract The Company capitalizes commission expenses paid to our employee-partners when the commissions are deemed to be incremental for obtaining the route servicing customer contract. Capitalized commissions are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current portion is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets, net on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets. As of February 28, 2026, the current and noncurrent assets related to capitalized commissions totaled $96.1 million and $296.5 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2025, the current and noncurrent assets related to capitalized commissions totaled $96.5 million and $275.3 million, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense related to capitalized commissions of $26.6 million and $27.4 million during the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the nine months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, we recorded amortization expense related to capitalized commissions of $79.3 million and $80.0 million, respectively. These expenses are classified in selling and administrative expenses on the consolidated condensed statements of income.
