NEW YORK, NY — December 16, 2009 — ABM Industries Incorporated (NYSE:ABM) today reported revenues
for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 of $868.0 million compared to fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2008 revenues of $905.8 million. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 was
$15.0 million, a 29.7% increase from $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Net
income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 increased 38.1% to $0.29
compared to fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 net income per diluted share of $0.21.
Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $15.3 million
($0.29 per diluted share) compared to $14.8 million ($0.28 per diluted share) in the year-ago
quarter. Adjusted income from continuing operations (which excludes items impacting comparability)
increased to $20.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.
This compares to adjusted income from continuing operations of $18.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted
share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. (See accompanying financial tables for
supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)
“Despite a challenging business environment, operating profit from our four divisions improved
year-over-year for the quarter by $1.9 million, driven by continued cost controls and an aggressive
focus on operating margins,” said Henrik Slipsager, president and chief executive officer of ABM
Industries Incorporated.
The Company’s adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and
excluding discontinued operations and items impacting comparability) for the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2009 was $41.3 million compared to $42.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2008. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding
reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)
Slipsager continued: “The Company delivered outstanding results for the quarter and the full year,
particularly in light of what was an exceptionally challenging economy through the course of the
2009 fiscal year. Revenues for the fourth quarter were essentially flat compared sequentially to
the third quarter, reversing earlier declines and showing signs of a stabilizing economy. Our
consistent focus on job profitability and expense management clearly contributed to our successful
performance. Adjusted income from continuing operations increased 22% for the fiscal year. These
solid financial results, combined with the revenue trends we are seeing, strongly position the
Company for a rebound in the U.S. economy and an improved outlook for fiscal year 2010.”
Slipsager concluded: “We also finished the fiscal year with record net cash from operations of more
than $140 million. Our cash flow enabled the Company to reduce the debt on our line of credit by
more than $57 million and pay out nearly $27 million in dividends.” (See accompanying financial
tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial
measures.)
The Company reported revenues for the fiscal year that ended October 31, 2009 of $3.5 billion
compared to fiscal year 2008 revenues of $3.6 billion. Net income for fiscal year 2009 was $54.3
million, an increase of 19.5% compared to $45.4 million for fiscal year 2008. Net income per
diluted share for fiscal year 2009 increased 19.3% to $1.05 compared to $0.88 per diluted share in
fiscal year 2008. Income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2009 increased to $55.5
million ($1.07 per diluted share) compared to $52.7 million ($1.03 per diluted share) for fiscal
year 2008. Adjusted income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2009 was $68.8 million, or
$1.33 per diluted share, compared to $56.4 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for 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 first quarter cash dividend
of $0.135 per common share, which is nearly a 4% increase, payable on February 1, 2010 to
stockholders of record on January 7, 2010. This will be ABM’s 175th consecutive
quarterly cash dividend.
Guidance
The Company estimates that full fiscal year 2010 income from continuing operations per diluted
share will be in the range of $1.25 to $1.35 and adjusted income from continuing operations per
diluted share, for the same period, will be in the range of $1.35 to $1.45. (See accompanying
financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP
financial measures.)

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 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2009. Any number of factors could cause the
Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ include but are not limited to the following: (1) risks relating to our
acquisition strategy may adversely impact our results of operations; (2) intense competition can
constrain our ability to gain business, as well as our profitability; (3) we are subject to
volatility associated with high deductibles for certain insurable risks; (4) an increase in costs
that we cannot pass on to clients could affect our profitability; (5) we provide our services
pursuant to agreements which are cancelable by either party upon 30 to 60 days’ notice; (6) our
success depends on our ability to preserve our long-term relationships with clients; (7) our
transition to a shared services function could create disruption in functions affected; (8) we
incur significant accounting and other control costs that reduce profitability; (9) a decline in
commercial office building occupancy and rental rates could affect our revenues and profitability;
(10) deterioration in economic conditions in general could further reduce the demand for facility
services and, as a result, reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition; (11)
the financial difficulties or bankruptcy of one or more of our major clients could adversely affect
results; (12) our ability to operate and pay our debt obligations depends upon our access to cash;
(13) because ABM conducts business operations through operating subsidiaries, we depend on those
entities to generate the funds necessary to meet financial obligations; (14) certain future
declines or fluctuations in the fair value of our investments in auction rate securities that are
deemed other-than-temporarily impaired could negatively impact our earnings; (15) uncertainty in
the credit markets and the financial services industry may impact our ability to collect
receivables on a timely basis and may negatively impact our cash flow; (16) any future increase in
the level of debt or in interest rates can affect our results of operations; (17) an impairment
charge could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations;
(18) we are defendants in several class and representative actions or other lawsuits alleging
various claims that could cause us to incur substantial liabilities; (19) since we are an
attractive employer for recent émigrés to this country and many of our jobs are filled by such,
changes in immigration laws or enforcement actions or investigations under such laws could
significantly adversely affect our labor force, operations and financial results and our
reputation; (20) labor disputes could lead to loss of revenues or expense variations; and (21) we
participate in multi-employer defined benefit plans which could result in substantial liabilities
being incurred. 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 we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. We undertake 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 fourth quarter and fiscal years 2009 and 2008 and guidance for fiscal
year 2010, 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 fourth quarter
and 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.)

| ABM Industries Incorporated Fourth Quarter Earnings Conference Call December 17, 2009 |
| 2 Agenda Introduction of call participants Henrik C. Slipsager, President & CEO James S. Lusk, EVP and CFO Sarah H. McConnell, SVP & General Counsel Q4 2009 Highlights Financial Review Operating Results 2010 Guidance |
| 3 Forward-Looking Statements Our presentation today contains predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements. In addition, the financial results reported in this release continue to be subject to adjustment until filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31,2009. Any number of factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include but are not limited to the following: (1) risks relating to our acquisition strategy may adversely impact our results of operations; (2) intense competition can constrain our ability to gain business, as well as our profitability; (3) we are subject to volatility associated with high deductibles for certain insurable risks; (4) an increase in costs that we cannot pass on to clients could affect our profitability; (5) we provide our services pursuant to agreements which are cancelable by either party upon 30 to 60 days' notice; (6) our success depends on our ability to preserve our long-term relationships with clients; (7) our transition to a Shared Services Function could create disruption in functions affected; (8) we incur significant accounting and other control costs that reduce profitability; (9) a decline in commercial office building occupancy and rental rates could affect our revenues and profitability; (10) deterioration in economic conditions in general could further reduce the demand for facility services and, as a result, reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition; (11) the financial difficulties or bankruptcy of one or more of our major clients could adversely affect results; (12) our ability to operate and pay our debt obligations depends upon our access to cash; (13) because ABM conducts business operations through operating subsidiaries, we depend on those entities to generate the funds necessary to meet financial obligations; (14) certain future declines or fluctuations in the fair value of our investments in auction rate securities that are deemed other-than-temporarily impaired could negatively impact our earnings; (15) uncertainty in the credit markets and the financial services industry may impact our ability to collect receivables on a timely basis and may negatively impact our cash flow; (16) any future increase in the level of debt or in interest rates can affect our results of operations; (17) an impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations; (18) we are defendants in several class and representative actions or other lawsuits alleging various claims that could cause us to incur substantial liabilities; (19) since we are an attractive employer for recent emigres to this country and many of our jobs are filled by such, changes in immigration laws or enforcement actions or investigations under such laws could significantly adversely affect our labor force, operations and financial results and our reputation; (20) labor disputes could lead to loss of revenues or expense variations; and (21) we participate in multi-employer defined benefit plans which could result in substantial liabilities being incurred. 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. in our subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. |
