Revenues up 6.1% at uniform maker G&K in Q1 FY'13

The stronger cash flow was primarily due to improvements in working capital, higher net income, and a lower contribution to the company’s pension plan than in the prior year. Capital expenditures were $10.2 million, up from $7.2 million in the prior year period, due to increased investments to enhance productivity and support profitable revenue growth.

Outlook

The company expects to drive continued performance gains in fiscal 2013, despite persistent weakness in the economy, slow employment growth and considerable political uncertainty. The company continues to expect fiscal 2013 revenue in a range of $890 million to $910 million.

Based on first quarter performance, the company is raising its full-year earnings guidance to a range of $2.25 to $2.45 per diluted share, up from the previously announced range of $2.20 to $2.40.
