Third Quarter 2026 Results August 11th, 2026
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Vestis reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but in this presentation and the non-GAAP reconciliations that follow, Vestis also uses the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Operating Working Capital, Net Debt, Net Leverage Ratio, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Return on Working Capital, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Cost Per Pound, Operating Leverage and Investments in Capital Assets. Vestis believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide useful supplemental information to investors. Certain adjustment-based measures exclude items that management believes may not be indicative of or are unrelated to Vestis’ core operating results. Vestis uses these non-GAAP financial measures with U.S. GAAP financial measures and other operating data to assist in the evaluation of its operating performance. Vestis believes that presentation of these measures also helps investors because the measures enable better comparisons of Vestis’ historical results and allow investors to evaluate Vestis’ performance based on the same metrics that Vestis uses to evaluate its performance and trends in its results. However, these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Vestis’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Specifically, you should not consider these measures as alternatives to revenue, operating income, operating expenses, operating income margin, net income (loss), net income margin or net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures also should not be considered as measures of cash available to Vestis to invest in the growth of Vestis’ business or cash that will be available to Vestis to meet its obligations. Non-GAAP financial measures as presented by Vestis may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S.GAAP measures are provided in the tables at the end of this presentation.

Appendix
Non-GAAP Financial Measures ©2026 Vestis. All rights reserved. 13 Vestis reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but in this presentation and the non-GAAP reconciliations that follow, Vestis also uses the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Operating Working Capital, Net Debt, Net Leverage Ratio, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Return on Working Capital, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Cost Per Pound, Operating Leverage Per Pound and Investments in Capital Assets. Vestis believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide useful supplemental information to investors. Certain adjustment-based measures exclude items that management believes may not be indicative of or are unrelated to Vestis’ core operating results. Vestis uses these non-GAAP financial measures with U.S. GAAP financial measures and other operating data to assist in the evaluation of its operating performance. Vestis believes that presentation of these measures also helps investors because the measures enable better comparisons of Vestis’ historical results and allow investors to evaluate Vestis’ performance based on the same metrics that Vestis uses to evaluate its performance and trends in its results. However , these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Vestis’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Specifically, you should not consider these measures as alternatives to revenue, operating income, operating expenses, operating income margin, net income (loss), net income margin or net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures also should not be considered as measures of cash available to Vestis to invest in the growth of Vestis’ business or cash that will be available to Vestis to meet its obligations. Non-GAAP financial measures as presented by Vestis may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies because not all companies use identical calculations. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S.GAAP measures are provided in the tables at the end of this presentation. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Adjusted EBITDA represents net income adjusted for provision for income taxes; interest expense, net; and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), further adjusted for share-based compensation expense; severance; business transformation costs; separation related charges; securitization fees; loss (gain) on sale of equity investments; third party debt amendment fees; legal reserves and settlements; gains, losses, and other items impacting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are presented to provide a more meaningful comparison of Vestis’ operating performance by excluding items that management believes are not reflective of ongoing operations or that may obscure trends in the underlying business. Similar adjustments have been recorded in Adjusted EBITDA for earlier periods, and Vestis may record similar types of adjustments in future periods. Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS Adjusted Net Income (Loss) represents net income (loss) adjusted to exclude items not considered indicative of Vestis’ core ongoing operations, including amortization expense, share-based compensation, severance charges, business transformation costs, separation-related charges, loss (gain) on sale of equity investments; third party debt amendment fees; legal reserves and settlements; gains, losses, and other items impacting comparability. Management believes this measure provides useful supplemental information by facilitating period-over-period comparisons of performance on a consistent basis. Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS represent Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the weighted-average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding, respectively.
©2026 Vestis. All rights reserved. 14 Non-GAAP Financial Measures, continued Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment and other items. Free Cash Flow is presented because it reflects the cash generated from operations after capital expenditures necessary to maintain and improve operations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as there may be other nondiscretionary cash requirements not reflected in this measure. Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents Free Cash Flow adjusted for cash paid for strategic business transformation initiatives, including severance paid during the transformation period and third-party advisory fees. Net Leverage Ratio, Net Debt, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA Margin Net Leverage Ratio is defined in Vestis’ credit agreement and is calculated as consolidated total indebtedness in excess of unrestricted cash (referred to herein as “Net Debt”), divided by the Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt represents total principal debt outstanding, letters of credit outstanding, and finance lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents. Covenant Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA, as further modified by certain items specifically permitted under the credit agreement to assess compliance with its financial covenants. Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA represents Covenant Adjusted EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters. Covenant Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Covenant Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Vestis believes that Net Leverage Ratio and its components are useful to investors because they are indicators of Vestis’ ability to meet its future financial obligations and are measures that are frequently used by investors and creditors. Operating Working Capital Operating working capital is calculated by adding accounts receivable and inventory, and subtracting accounts payable. Return on Working Capital Return on Working Capital is calculated by dividing trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA by Operating Working Capital. Cost Per Pound Cost Per Pound represents the cost incurred to process laundry on a per-unit basis and is calculated as Adjusted Operating Expenses, as defined below, divided by the total pounds of laundry processed during the period. Management uses Cost Per Pound to assess operating efficiency by evaluating how effectively resources are utilized relative to processing volume. Adjusted Operating Expenses Adjusted Operating Expenses represent operating expenses as reported under U.S. GAAP, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, covenant adjusted bad debt expense, share-based compensation expense, severance, business transformation costs, loss (gain) on sale of equity investments, separation-related charges, legal reserves and settlements, third-party debt amendment fees, and gains, losses, and other items that management believes are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Adjusted Operating Expenses are presented solely as an input to the calculation of Cost Per Pound and are not intended to be a standalone performance measure.
©2026 Vestis. All rights reserved. 15 Non-GAAP Financial Measures, continued Operating Leverage Per Pound (“Operating Leverage”) Operating Leverage represents Revenue Per Pound less Cost Per Pound. Management uses this metric as a supplemental indicator of unit-level profitability trends. The metric helps management assess operational efficiency by evaluating how effectively resources are used relative to volume handled. Operating Leverage is not a measure of profitability calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is operating income on an aggregate basis. Investments in Capital Assets Investments in Capital Assets represents cash investments in property and equipment from the investing activities section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows combined with new finance leases entered into by the Company during the same time period. Vestis believes that Investments in Capital Assets and its components are useful to investors because they are indicators of Vestis’ total in-period investments in fixed assets to support its business. Forward Looking Non-GAAP Information This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are forward-looking in nature, including our expected outlook for fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. The most directly comparable forward-looking U.S. GAAP measures are net income and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively. Vestis believes that a quantitative reconciliation of these forward- looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts. Such reconciliation would require assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of future events, including acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, asset impairments, and other items that are difficult to predict and are outside of Vestis’ control. Accordingly, the most directly comparable forward-looking U.S. GAAP measures are not provided. Actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking non-GAAP measures.
©2026 Vestis. All rights reserved. 16 Operational Metrics and Definitions In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures described above, Vestis uses certain operational metrics to evaluate business performance, monitor trends, and support internal decision-making. These operational metrics are derived using a combination of U.S. GAAP financial information and operational data and are not themselves measures defined under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these metrics should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes these operational metrics provide useful context for understanding changes in Vestis’ operating performance, pricing discipline, and cost efficiency. However, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, as definitions and calculation methodologies may differ. Business Retention We calculate retention by annualizing the average weekly revenue attributed to lost customers identification numbers for the trailing 52 weeks and dividing it by the recurring rental revenue for the same period. We calculate recurring rental revenue as base rental revenue for uniforms and workplace supplies, including service charges and the impacts of rebates and other discounts, plus recurring loss and ruin and auxiliary charges such as emblems and embroidery in addition to select consumables we determine to be recurring in nature. Our calculations are approximate and may in some cases rely on estimates which may differ from period to period. Revenue Per Pound Revenue Per Pound represents consolidated total revenue as reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP divided by total pounds of laundry processed for the period. Revenue Per Pound uses GAAP revenue and does not reflect any adjustments. Management believes this metric provides useful insight into pricing and product mix relative to processing volume. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is consolidated revenue. Pounds Processed Pounds of laundry processed represents an operational measure derived from internal systems and management estimates and may involve judgement in its determination. Management believes the methodology used is reasonable and applied consistently from period to period. Plant Productivity Plant Productivity is an operational metric that measures changes in labor efficiency within the Company’s processing facilities. Plant Productivity is calculated based on the year-over-year change in labor hours at a constant wage rate, adjusted for the impact of product mix changes. Management uses Plant Productivity to evaluate labor efficiency, operational performance and throughput trends across the Company’s plant network.

Transformation, Restructuring and Severance in the Company’s form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 3, 2026 2) Separation Related Charges include third-party expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s separation from Aramark on September 30, 2023, and the establishment of stand-alone public company operations.
