ABM Industries Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2006 Financial Results
Tuesday June 6, 7:25 pm ET
Income from Continuing Operations Increases 17.5% on Revenues of $660.1 Million
Company Reiterates 2006 Fiscal Year Guidance
SAN FRANCISCO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 6, 2006—ABM Industries Incorporated (NYSE:ABM — News),
a leading facility services contractor in the United States, today reported income from continuing
operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 of $10.4 million ($0.21 per diluted share), up
17.5%, compared to $8.8 million ($0.17 per diluted share) for the prior year second quarter. Sales
and other income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were $660.1 million, up 3.2% from $639.6
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
The second quarter of fiscal 2006 had one fewer workday than the comparable period in fiscal 2005,
favorably impacting fixed-priced contracts by approximately $2.4 million. This benefit was offset
by $2.4 million of professional fees for the recently completed Audit Committee’s independent
investigation of the prior year accounting at SSA, LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABM
Security.
“Substantially better than the year-before period, ABM’s second quarter results demonstrate
strength in our core business performance and success in recent acquisitions,” commented Henrik
Slipsager, ABM’s president and chief executive officer. “We continue to secure new business, and
expand services to existing customers nationwide through effective deployment of management and
financial resources. Our Janitorial and Engineering businesses have recently added new financial
services customers and expanded services with existing high-tech clients. And we won a significant
job from a major pharmaceutical company, further highlighting our specialty cleaning capabilities.
“Second quarter sales growth was driven by contributions from acquisitions completed in 2005 and
the first half of 2006 and new business in Engineering and Security.” Mr. Slipsager continued, “All
operating segments showed improvements in operating income except Lighting. Although Lighting sales
and profitability were disappointing, the backlog for this business increased dramatically and we
believe Lighting will see improved performance in the coming months.”
The Company’s income from continuing operations during the first six months of fiscal 2006 was
$14.4 million ($0.29 per diluted share), compared to $14.5 million ($0.28 per diluted share) for
the same period last year. Sales and other income for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were
$1.33 billion, up 3.8%, compared to $1.28 billion for the comparable period last year.
Mr. Slipsager concluded, “We repurchased eight hundred thousand shares during the quarter at a cost
of $13.9 million. We ended the quarter with $25 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately
$242 million in working capital and no debt. We believe that we are well positioned to continue to
expand our existing lines of business in the second half of fiscal 2006 through organic growth and
acquisitions. Guidance for the third quarter is $0.28 to $0.31 per diluted share. For full-year
2006, we continue to anticipate income from continuing operations will be in the range of $0.85 to
$0.95 per diluted share.”

Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
This press release contains forward-looking statements that set forth management’s anticipated
results based on management’s plans and assumptions. Any number of factors could cause the
Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to: (1) delays in remediating the material weakness in controls
identified in the Company’s security business; (2) a change in the frequency or severity of claims
against the Company, a deterioration in claims management, or the cancellation or non-renewal of
the Company’s primary insurance policies; (3) a change in actuarial analysis that causes an
unanticipated change in insurance reserves; (4) inadequate technology systems that cannot support
the growth of the business; (5) labor disputes that lead to a loss of sales or expense variations;
(6) acquisition activity slows or is unsuccessful; (7) a decline in commercial office building
occupancy and rental rates lowers sales and profitability; (8) weakness in airline travel and the
hospitality industry that affects the results of the Company’s Parking segment; (9) financial
difficulties or bankruptcy of a major customer; (10) the loss of long-term customers; (11) intense
competition that lowers revenue or reduces margins; (12) an increase in costs that the Company
cannot pass on to customers; (13) natural disasters or acts of terrorism that disrupt the Company
in providing services; (14) significant accounting and other control costs that reduce the
Company’s profitability; and (15) other issues and uncertainties that may include: new accounting
pronouncements or changes in accounting policies, labor shortages that adversely affect the
Company’s ability to employ entry level personnel, legislation or other governmental action that
detrimentally impacts the Company’s expenses or reduces sales by adversely affecting the Company’s
customers, unanticipated adverse jury determinations, judicial rulings or other developments in
litigation to which the Company is subject, a reduction or revocation of the Company’s line of
credit that increases interest expense and the cost of capital, and the resignation, termination,
death or disability of one or more of the Company’s key executives that adversely affects customer
retention or day-to-day management of the Company. Additional information regarding these and other
risks and uncertainties the Company faces is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
and in other reports it files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result
