Employee Benefit Plans | 7. Employee Benefit Plans Defined Contribution Retirement Savings Plan The Company has a defined contribution retirement savings plan with a 401(k) feature for all eligible U.S. and Canadian employees not under collective bargaining agreements. The Company matches a portion of the employee’s contribution and may make an additional contribution at its discretion. Contributions charged to expense under the plan for the thirteen weeks ended May 31, 2025 and May 25, 2024 were $3.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Contributions charged to expense under the plan for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025 and May 25, 2024 were $11.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively. Pension Plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan The Company accounts for its pension plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan on an accrual basis over certain employees’ estimated service periods. The Company maintains an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for certain eligible employees of the Company and one frozen non-contributory defined benefit pension plan. The amounts charged to expense related to these plans for the thirteen weeks ended May 31, 2025 and May 25, 2024 were $0.4 million for both periods. The amounts charged to expense related to these plans for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025 and May 25, 2024 were $1.3 million for both periods. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan The Company adopted the UniFirst Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “NQDC Plan”) effective on February 1, 2022. The NQDC Plan is an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows eligible participants to voluntarily defer receipt of their salary and annual cash bonuses up to approved limits. In its discretion, the Company may credit one or more additional contributions to participant accounts. NQDC Plan participants who are not accruing benefits under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan are eligible to have discretionary annual employer contributions credited to their NQDC Plan accounts. All participants are also eligible to have employer supplemental contributions and employer discretionary contributions credited to their NQDC Plan accounts. The amounts of such contributions, if any, may differ from year to year and from participant to participant. The amounts for employee or employer contributions charged to expense related to the NQDC Plan for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025 were $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The amounts for employee or employer contributions charged to expense related to the NQDC Plan for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 25, 2024 were $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company, at its discretion, may also elect to transfer funds to a trust account with the intention to fund the future liability. Total NQDC Plan assets were $4.4 million and $3.3 million as of May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively, and are included within other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total NQDC Plan liabilities were $2.6 million and $1.6 million as of May 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively, and are included within current accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Earnings and losses on contributions, based on investment elections, are recorded as a component of compensation expense in the period earned and are included within other (income) expense, net. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025, other income was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. No amount was recorded for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 25, 2024.
