Executive Summary:

 

   

Revenues were $1.2 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, up almost 13% compared to $1.08 billion last year, due to $105.7 million in contributions from recent acquisitions and $31.9 million in organic growth or 3.0%.


   

Janitorial, Facility Services, and Security segments achieved organic growth of 3.2%, 6.3%, and 5.0%, respectively, from new business and increased scope of work with existing clients.

 

   

Adjusted income from continuing operations for the fiscal 2013 third quarter was $0.41 per diluted share, up 10.8%, compared to $0.37 per diluted share in the prior year.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.9% to $57.2 million as a result of contributions from recent acquisitions and new business.

 

   

Net cash from operations was $84.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2013, compared to net cash from operations of $83.8 million for the same period last year.

 

   

Outstanding borrowings under the Company’s credit facility decreased by $36 million in the third quarter to $348 million.

Third Quarter Results and Recent Events

“We are very pleased with our third quarter financial results as underlying business trends continue to strengthen,” said ABM’s president and chief executive officer Henrik Slipsager. “The momentum across our businesses grew throughout the quarter and we achieved a 12.8% increase in revenue due to our recent acquisitions and strong organic growth in our Janitorial, Facility Services and Security segments. Janitorial sales increased 3.2%, representing our largest quarterly organic sales improvement in 5 years and reflecting new significant business wins. We’re also encouraged by progress in our Building & Energy Solutions segment, where sales increased 21.6% due to acquisitions and new commercial service and maintenance contracts, which included bundled energy solutions jobs. Operating profits were up 82.5% for Building & Energy Solutions as we are beginning to benefit from our investments in our healthcare vertical and energy business as well as effective cost control. We continue to expand our pipeline of new sales in a number of key verticals and we are further developing our capabilities in a number of areas to drive long-term growth.”

Slipsager continued, “Adjusted income from continuing operations in the third quarter increased $2.8 million, or approximately 14%, as the benefits from acquisitions, new sales and expense management were partially offset by higher initial costs associated with new contracts in our Janitorial and Air Serv businesses.

On a reported basis, we achieved a 27.8% increase in net income, primarily due to contributions from recent acquisitions and new business. Based on the results of an independent external actuarial evaluation conducted in the quarter, we increased insurance reserves related to claims from prior years by $9.9 million ($6.0 million after-tax), compared to the $9.5 million ($5.6 million after-tax) increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.”

Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.3 million, an increase from $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 due to higher average borrowings on the Company’s credit facility to fund acquisitions made in early fiscal 2013.

James Lusk, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added, “We continue to deliver strong free cash flow and to return value to our shareholders through the payment of a quarterly cash dividend. During the third quarter, we reduced our debt levels by $36 million, ending the quarter with $348 million in borrowings under our credit facility.”

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was 40.4%, compared to 41.3% in the same period last year.

Slipsager concluded, “The combination of strong revenue momentum, anticipated margin improvement and good progress on the integration of our acquisitions gives us confidence in our earnings outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year. We remain highly encouraged by our business and expect to see continued earnings growth as recent client wins ramp up fully in the fourth quarter and operating leverage improves as we benefit from the ongoing cost initiatives within the Onsite businesses. We remain pleased with the pace of integration from businesses acquired earlier in fiscal 2013, and sales contributions from these acquisitions continue to exceed our expectations. Our reorganization efforts remain on track and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the substantial market opportunities before us and to continue improving our long-term growth prospects.”

Nine Months Results

The Company reported revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 of $3.57 billion, which represents an 11.3% increase compared to year-ago revenues of $3.21 billion. The growth was driven by a combination of revenue from recent acquisitions and organic growth of 1.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

Income from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 was $48.7 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $35.0 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2012.

Adjusted income from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 was $58.0 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, compared to $48.4 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2012. The increase of $9.6 million is primarily the result of higher revenue from acquisitions and organic growth, lower payroll and payroll related expenses as a result of one less working day, and an improvement in operating margins due to continued expense control, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Dividend

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.15 per common share payable on November 4, 2013 to stockholders of record on October 3, 2013. This will be ABM’s 190th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

Guidance

Based on ABM’s strong year-to-date performance and outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company is narrowing its guidance for fiscal year 2013 to the high end of the previously issued guidance range. The Company now anticipates income from continuing operations of $1.26 to $1.31 per diluted share and adjusted income from continuing operations of $1.45 to $1.50 per diluted share.

Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties the Company faces is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012 and in other reports the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company urges readers to consider these risks and uncertainties in evaluating its forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement ABM’s consolidated financial information, the Company has presented income from continuing operations, as adjusted for items impacting comparability, for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012. 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 as well as 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 nine months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)

Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed in the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our 2013 reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. These reports are available on our website at http://investor.abm.com/ under "SEC Filings". A description of factors that could cause actual results to differ is also set forth at the end of this presentation. Also, the discussion during this conference call will include certain financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Reconciliations of those non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures can be found on the Investor Relations portion of our website at http://investor.abm.com and at the end of this presentation. 5 Questions and Answers
