Completed Four Acquisitions, Including the Largest in Company History, Delivered 7% Compounded Annual Organic Revenue Growth, and Expanded Strategic Investments
EVI has established itself as the leader in the highly fragmented North American commercial laundry distribution and service industry through execution of its long-term growth strategy. Since the strategy’s inception in 2016, the Company has achieved compounded annual growth rates of 30% in revenue, 18% in net income, and 27% in adjusted EBITDA. These results have been driven by the acquisition of 31 businesses, along with a 7% compounded annual growth rate in organic revenue, highlighting the effectiveness of EVI’s disciplined approach to growth.

Fiscal 2025 results reflect the continued execution of EVI’s long-term growth strategy through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. Strong demand across the Company’s distribution and service network was supported by favorable conditions across key end markets, including healthcare, hospitality, and the vended laundry industry, which continue to demonstrate resilient demand for commercial laundry products and services. The Company expanded its sales and technical workforce to support its objective of increasing market penetration and capturing market share in targeted regions, and these efforts, combined with strong demand, have resulted in a solid backlog of confirmed customer orders that provide further momentum for sustained growth.
At the same time, the Company advanced its operational capabilities by investing in modernizing its infrastructure, including meaningful enhancements to its technology systems. These efforts represent a significant undertaking, but they are already delivering tangible improvements at the regional group level. Over time, as these initiatives scale across the enterprise and the pace of spending moderates, the Company expects the resulting gains to both support progress toward the Company’s operating margin goal and reinforce its pursuit of continued growth. The Company’s results also reflect increased operating costs, including those associated with the integration of recently completed acquisitions and other strategic investments necessary to support long-term growth.

Innovation and Strategic Technology Initiatives
EVI made significant strides in technology adoption during fiscal 2025, building on several years of meaningful investment in digital infrastructure and innovation, reinforcing its long-term strategy to modernize operations and elevate the customer experience.
-
Field Service: The Company believes exceptional service is the foundation of future sales. Servicing commercial laundry equipment requires highly skilled technicians, and EVI’s field service platform equips them with the tools to maximize productivity and elevate the customer experience. The system optimizes scheduling, streamlines dispatch, and provides real-time updates, improving efficiency, appointment capacity, and responsiveness. It also generates valuable data, diagnostics and parts usage, that enhance service operations and provide OEM partners insights to improve future equipment design. With only two-thirds of its features currently activated, upcoming enhancements such as predictive maintenance and advanced communication tools are expected to unlock even greater value.
Equally important, every service call is a touchpoint with the customer. Technicians are trained not only to complete repairs but also to identify preventative maintenance needs or equipment replacement opportunities that improve reliability and efficiency. Qualified leads are then passed to the Company’s 200 sales professionals, creating a recurring pipeline that drives revenue growth while deepening customer relationships. Supported by more than 425 service professionals, EVI today operates the largest service organization in the North American commercial laundry industry, and complements this scale with the industry’s broadest portfolio of products to meet virtually any customer need—together representing a powerful competitive advantage.
The rapid adoption of this platform underscores both its effectiveness and its potential. InJuly 2024 , only two business units were live, completing about 1,000 service appointments that month. ByJune 2025 , the rollout had expanded to 27 business units, with more than 8,500 appointments completed in that month alone.
-
Business Intelligence: By the end of fiscal 2025, 28 of EVI’s 31 business units were operating on the Company’s end-state enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform. Combined with the rollout of enterprise-wide business intelligence (BI) tools, these initiatives have created a strong infrastructure for measuring and managing both financial and operational performance. Together, they provide leadership with real-time, data-driven insights to support faster, smarter decision-making.
With this foundation in place, EVI is focused on using insights to drive targeted improvements across its operations. In inventory management, the Company expects to optimize stock levels, reduce carrying costs, and improve fill rates. More accurate job costing is expected to ensure installation and service projects are priced and executed to protect and expand margins. In service operations, enhanced visibility into technician efficiency, parts usage, and service-level profitability is expected to support margin expansion and a more consistent customer experience. At the regional level, performance dashboards will help identify underperformance and guide the reallocation of resources to areas with the greatest potential impact.
By improving execution across these areas, the Company expects to strengthen working capital efficiency, enhance margins, and align performance across its growing network of businesses. Management believes these tools will not only improve operational consistency but also position EVI to scale more effectively and deliver greater value to customers.
-
Planned E-Commerce Platform: As part of its broader strategy to redefine the customer experience, EVI is developing an e-commerce platform designed to deliver a seamless, data-driven, and service-integrated digital experience. Expected to launch in fiscal 2026, the platform is expected to provide real-time access to product information, inventory, pricing, and service capabilities, empowering customers to engage with the Company anytime and anywhere.
Once live, it will offer 24/7 ordering convenience, reduced transaction costs through automation, and greater accuracy in pricing and fulfillment. By leveraging customer data, EVI plans to deliver personalized product recommendations and dynamic reordering tools. Integration with service operations is expected to enable customers to schedule appointments, track service activity, and access service history online—streamlining their experience from end to end.
Supported by the industry’s largest inventory and the broadest portfolio of products, EVI’s local business units will be able to meet customer need with speed and reliability. Strategically located facilities will further enable efficient shipping and service response, strengthening customer satisfaction, loyalty, and repeat business, while lowering the cost to serve. This initiative represents a key pillar of EVI’s long-term strategy to create value through innovation, efficiency, and an exceptional customer experience.
Cash Flow, Financial Strength, and Liquidity
EVI’s objective is to maintain a healthy balance sheet that allows for access to low-cost capital to fund strategic investments in new growth opportunities as they arise. The Company’s strong financial position is key to its ability to deliver sustained long-term returns, enabling investments regardless of macroeconomic or industry conditions.

Tariff Impacts
EVI continues to monitor tariff developments and their potential impact on operations. In response to higher costs from suppliers and OEM partners, the Company has adjusted its own pricing while pursuing measures such as diversifying sourcing and collaborating with suppliers on shared cost strategies. Despite ongoing uncertainty around trade policy, EVI’s focus on essential equipment and replacement parts across diverse markets, along with its commitment to maintaining competitive marketability, provides a strong foundation for sustained performance.
Looking Ahead
Earnings Call and Additional Information
The Company has provided a pre-recorded earnings conference call, including a business update, which can be accessed under “Financial Info” in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website at www.evi-ind.com or by visiting https://ir.evi-ind.com/message-from-the-ceo. For additional information regarding the Company’s results for the fiscal year ended
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In this press release, EVI discloses the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDA, which EVI defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of stock-based compensation to net income, as shown in the attached statement of Condensed Consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Amortization of Stock-based Compensation. EVI considers adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings, and the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method of analyzing EVI’s results as reported under GAAP.
