NEW YORK, NY — September 2, 2009 — ABM Industries Incorporated (NYSE:ABM) today reported revenues for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 of $870.6 million compared to third quarter of fiscal year 2008 revenues of $923.7 million. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $12.3 million, a 25.2% decrease from $16.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 included a $2.2 million after-tax insurance expense related to prior years compared to a $4.6 million after-tax insurance benefit related to prior years in the year-ago quarter. Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 decreased 25.0% to $0.24 compared to third quarter of fiscal year 2008 earnings per diluted share of $0.32.

 


 

Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $12.4 million ($0.24 per diluted share) compared to $16.3 million ($0.32 per diluted share) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. Adjusted income from continuing operations increased to $18.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, which excludes the $2.2 million after-tax insurance expense noted above and approximately $3 million after-tax costs related to the closing stages of the corporate initiatives which began in 2007. This compares to $15.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, which excludes a net $0.5 million benefit from items impacting comparability. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)
The Company’s adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding discontinued operations and items impacting comparability) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $37.8 million compared to $35.0 million in the year-ago quarter. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)
“We continue to deliver strong results from our operating divisions,” said Henrik Slipsager, president and chief executive officer of ABM Industries Incorporated. “I am pleased that revenues in our third quarter increased slightly over the second quarter as we start to see signs of an improving economy. Combined, our operating divisions increased profits and margins, driven by aggressive cost controls. Adjusted income from continuing operations increased 18% for the quarter and adjusted EBITDA, a key measure of the strength of our operations, was up 8% year-over-year for the third quarter and nearly 14% for the first nine months of the fiscal year.” (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)
Slipsager added: “We also continue to generate strong operating cash flow across the business. Net cash from operations increased to approximately $77 million through the first nine months of the year, which helped support our acquisition of facility services assets from Control Holding Group during the quarter. Additionally, we continue to reduce borrowings under our line of credit, net of acquisitions. These ongoing aggressive steps to improve profitability and generate cash from operations strongly position the Company for a rebound in the U.S economy.”
The Company reported net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 of $39.3 million, an increase of 16.0% compared to $33.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008. Earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 increased 15.2% to $0.76 per diluted share compared to $0.66 per diluted share in the first nine months of fiscal year 2008. Income from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 increased to $40.2 million ($0.78 per diluted share) compared to $37.9 million ($0.74 per diluted share) for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008. Adjusted income from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal year 2009 was $48.0 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to $37.7 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.13 per common share payable on November 2, 2009 to stockholders of record on October 8, 2009. This will be ABM’s 174th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.
Guidance
The Company now estimates that full fiscal year 2009 income from continuing operations per diluted share will be in the range of $1.05 to $1.15, which takes into consideration the unanticipated impact of the insurance expense related to prior years. The Company is reaffirming its guidance for fiscal year 2009 adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share, which it expects will be in the range of $1.25 to $1.35. (See

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 current plans and assumptions. In addition, the financial results reported in this release continue to be subject to adjustment until filing of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31,2009. Any number of factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These factors include but are not limited to: (1) further declines in commercial office building occupancy and rental rates relating to a deepening of the current recession; (2) the inability to attract or grow revenues from new customers or loss of customers or financial difficulties or bankruptcy of a major customer or multiple customers; (3) the inability of customers to access the credit markets impacting the Company’s ability to collect receivables; (4) a slowdown in the Company’s acquisition activity, diversion of management focus from operations as a result of acquisitions or failure to timely realize anticipated cost savings and synergies from acquisitions; (5) intense competition that lowers revenue or reduces margins; (6) an increase in costs that the Company cannot pass on to customers; (7) functional delays and resource constraints related to the Company’s transition to new information technology systems, the support of multiple concurrent projects relating to these systems and delays in completing such projects; (8) unanticipated costs or service disruptions associated with the transition of certain IT services from IBM to third-party vendors or associated with providing those services internally; (9) disruption in functions affected by the transition to Shared Services Centers; (10) the inability to collect accounts receivable retained by the Company in connection with the sale of its lighting business; (11) changes in estimated claims or in the frequency or severity of claims against the Company, deterioration in claims management, cancellation or non-renewal of the Company’s primary insurance policies or changes in the Company’s customers’ insurance needs; (12) future fluctuations in the fair value of the Company’s investment in auction rate securities that are deemed other-than-temporarily impaired; (13) increase in debt service requirements; (14) labor disputes leading to a loss of sales or

 


 

expense variations; (15) natural disasters or acts of terrorism that disrupt the Company in providing services; (16) events or circumstances that may result in impairment of goodwill recognized on the OneSource or other acquisitions; (17) significant accounting and other control costs that reduce the Company’s profitability; and (18) the unfavorable outcome in one or more of the several class and representative action lawsuits alleging various wage and hour claims or in other litigation. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties the Company faces is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2008 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 of new information, future events or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement ABM’s consolidated financial information, the Company has presented income from continuing operations for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal years 2009 and 2008 and guidance for fiscal year 2009, as adjusted for items impacting comparability. These adjustments have been made with the intent of providing financial measures that give management and investors a better understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and ABM’s marketplace performance. In addition, the Company has presented earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding discontinued operations and items impacting comparability (adjusted EBITDA) for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal years 2009 and 2008. Adjusted EBITDA is among the indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)
