In the company’s fiscal year second quarter (which ended November 30), Cintas recorded 6.5% organic growth, tabulated after adjusting for acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rates. Its operating income increased 10.3% for a total of $200.3 million.

“Our solid start to fiscal year 2016 was followed by a second quarter of excellent financial results,” said CEO Scott D. Farmer. “We are pleased to again report strong increases in organic revenue, operating income, and [earnings per share]. I thank our employees, whom we call partners, for continuously striving to exceed expectations.”

On December 4, Cintas paid an annual dividend of $1.05 per share, an increase over last year’s dividend of $.85. It was the 32nd consecutive year the annual dividend has increased.

The company’s All Other segment, which includes promotional product sales, recorded $161 million, an increase of 7.5%. The company updated its revenue guidance for the fiscal year and expects to generate between $4.825 billion and $4.88 billion, an increase of 7.8%-9.0%.
