approximately $50 million of in-year benefit to fiscal 2026 from the Plan, with roughly $30 million already realized, as expected, through the fiscal third quarter. The Plan is structured around three strategic priorities: Operational Excellence, Commercial Excellence and Asset & Network Optimization. During the fiscal third quarter of 2026, Vestis advanced its strategic transformation priorities in the following ways: • Operational Excellence: The Company reduced its operating expenses while improving service quality. The Company also lowered its cost of services, which includes merchandise, plant and delivery costs, while improving plant productivity by 9%. These initiatives further enhanced the customer experience, driving an 80bps improvement in on-time deliveries and a 74bps reduction in customer complaints during the period. The Company also streamlined its corporate support functions by partnering with a leading third-party provider, creating a more efficient and agile corporate support organization to better serve its markets and customers. The Company expects this outsourcing arrangement to generate approximately $10 million in annual SG&A savings beginning in fiscal 2027 with some benefits realized as early as the fourth fiscal quarter of 2026. • Commercial Excellence: Vestis advanced its strategic pricing execution through improved commercial practices and the deployment of robust decision-support processes that drove pricing strength over the prior year. These efforts supported a 3% increase in Revenue Per Pound during the quarter in addition to year-over- year revenue growth in the Company’s Canadian segment. The initiatives emphasize disciplined pricing and product profitability structured at the customer level to deliver value for both customers and shareholders. • Asset & Network Optimization: The Company continued to evaluate its network across key markets, leveraging available capacity to identify growth and optimization opportunities to further strengthen operating leverage. The Company is analyzing its network through a market segmentation approach while executing route optimization initiatives in select areas, with plans to expand as market dynamics evolve. These actions are designed to improve route efficiency, optimize costs, and strengthen network performance. The Company also continued to market non-operating properties for sale to further optimize its asset base and service network. Vestis continues to demonstrate significant progress against its transformation priorities, driving a more favorable product mix and stronger pricing discipline resulting in year-over-year Revenue Per Pound growth supporting Operating Leverage* returning to its highest level since the fiscal third quarter of 2024. The Company’s strong year-to-date results establish a solid platform for profitable growth moving into fiscal 2027. Third Quarter 2026 Financial Performance Revenue for the fiscal third quarter was $661.7 million, as compared to $673.8 million in the prior year, a decline of $12.1 million or 1.8%. Volume in pounds processed declined 4.5% during the quarter when compared to the prior year, the impact of which was partly offset by improvements in strategic pricing and sales product mix. Net income for the fiscal third quarter increased by $11.7 million to $11.0 million or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(0.7) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share. Net income (loss) as a percentage of revenue was 1.7% during the fiscal third quarter of 2026, compared to (0.1)% in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA* for the fiscal third quarter was $80.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin* was 12.2%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA* of $64.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin* of 9.5% for the fiscal third quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA* for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 included an adjustment of $1.8 million for the write-off of pre-spin merchandise-in-service, which the Company was able to exclude solely for financial covenant purposes under the credit agreement. Excluding the write-off of merchandise-in-service, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA* was $65.8 million and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA Margin* was 9.8% in the fiscal third quarter of 2025, resulting in an increase of $15.0 million or 23% year-over-year. The *A non-GAAP measure, see accompanying non-GAAP measure explanations and reconciliations later in this release. Page 2

increase is primarily attributable to improvements in Revenue Per Pound and Operating Leverage* supported by the successful execution of the Plan. Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Net cash provided by operating activities during the fiscal third quarter of 2026 was $64.9 million and Free Cash Flow* was $47.0 million. Net cash provided by operating activities during the fiscal third quarter of 2026 includes $8.6 million in non-recurring cash payments associated with the Plan. Excluding the impact of these payments, Adjusted Free Cash Flow* improved by $47.5 million to $55.5 million, when compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2025. The increase in cash provided by operating activities reflects an $11.7 million improvement in net income in the fiscal third quarter of 2026 and a $4.3 million improvement in rental merchandise in service during the same period. During the fiscal third quarter of 2026, the Company’s Investments in Capital Assets* were $23.0 million, which included $18.0 million in cash expenditures for property and equipment investments in plant operations and technological infrastructure, as well as $5.1 million in new finance leases for vehicles in our delivery fleet, supporting the Company’s transformation initiatives. For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, the Company’s Investments in Capital Assets* were $62.5 million, including $40.0 million in cash investments combined with $22.4 million in new finance leases. During the fiscal third quarter, the Company utilized Free Cash Flow* to repay $30.0 million of principal on its outstanding debt. As of July 3, 2026, Vestis had total available liquidity of $351.8 million, including $57.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Updated Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook Today, the Company is updating its outlook for fiscal 2026. The Company now expects fiscal 2026 Free Cash Flow* to be in the range of $160.0 million to $170.0 million. The Company continues to expect fiscal 2026 revenue to be between flat to down 2%, as compared to normalized revenue excluding the impact of the additional operating week in fiscal 2025. The Company expects fiscal 2026 Adjusted EBITDA* to be in the range of $310.0 million to $315.0 million with a midpoint of $312.5 million, an increase of $2.5 million. Based on the Company’s outlook, fiscal fourth quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA* is implied to be in the range of $84.0 million to $89.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Vestis reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but in this release 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, Net Debt, Net Leverage Ratio, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Trailing Twelve Months Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Expenses (presented solely in the calculations of Cost Per Pound and 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, 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 release. 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. Page 6
Page 8
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. 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. Cost Per Pound and Adjusted Operating Expenses 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 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. Operating Leverage Per Pound (“Operating Leverage”) Operating Leverage Per Pound 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 represent 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 release 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 Page 7
Page 9
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. 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. Revenue Per PoundRevenue 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 U.S. GAAP revenue and does not reflect any adjustments. Management believes this metric provides useful insight into pricing and product mix relative to processing volume. Pounds Processed Pounds of laundry processed represents an operational measure derived from internal systems and management estimates and may involve judgment 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. Page 8
