Financial performance from 2019 to 2024 exhibits a consistent upward trajectory in both top-line revenue and bottom-line profitability. Total revenue grew from 6.89 billion USD in 2019 to 9.60 billion USD in 2024, representing a sustained expansion in market reach and service delivery. This growth is mirrored in net income, which increased from 884.98 million USD to 1.57 billion USD over the same period.

Revenue Composition and Growth
The primary driver of growth is the Uniform rental and facility services segment, which rose from 5.55 billion USD in 2019 to 7.47 billion USD in 2024. The Other revenue stream also demonstrated steady growth, increasing from 1.34 billion USD to 2.13 billion USD. The combined effect indicates a diversified growth strategy where both core and ancillary services are scaling simultaneously.
Gross Profitability and Margin Expansion
Gross margin expanded from 3.13 billion USD in 2019 to 4.69 billion USD in 2024. The gross margin percentage improved from approximately 45.3% in 2019 to 48.8% in 2024. This expansion suggests improved cost management of revenue or an increase in pricing power, as cost of revenue grew at a slower pace than total revenue.
Operating Efficiency
Operating income showed a significant increase, rising from 1.13 billion USD in 2019 to 2.07 billion USD in 2024. While selling and administrative expenses increased from 1.98 billion USD to 2.62 billion USD, they did so at a rate lower than the growth in gross margin. This creates an operating leverage effect, resulting in an operating margin increase from 16.4% in 2019 to 21.5% in 2024.
Net Income and Fiscal Obligations
Net income growth was steady, with a notable acceleration after 2021. Interest expenses remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 88.8 million USD and 111.2 million USD, indicating a consistent debt service profile. Income tax expenses grew in proportion to increased taxable income, rising from 219.76 million USD in 2019 to 402.04 million USD in 2024.
