Executive Summary:
| Revenues were $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, up 13.5% compared to $1.09 billion last year, due to $110.8 million in contributions from recent acquisitions and $36.0 million, or 3.3%, in organic growth. |
| Janitorial and Security segments achieved organic growth of 4.1% and 3.9%, respectively, from new business and increased scope of work with existing clients. |
| Building & Energy Solutions segment, excluding government business, delivered strong organic growth of 26.7% due primarily to new bundled energy solutions contracts. |
| Adjusted income from continuing operations for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter was $0.48 per diluted share compared to $0.50 per diluted share in the prior year. In the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, the Company recognized an $0.11 benefit from a discrete tax item compared to a $0.04 benefit from discrete tax items in the fourth quarter of 2013. |
| Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.7% to $58.1 million as a result of contributions from recent acquisitions and new business. |
| Outstanding borrowings under the Companys credit facility decreased by $34 million in the fourth quarter to $315 million. |
Fourth Quarter Results and Recent Events
The fourth quarter exceeded our expectations and we have delivered an outstanding year of double digit revenue and operating profit growth, driven by acquisitions and strong organic performance across our Janitorial, Facility Services, Security and Building & Energy Solutions segments, said ABMs president and chief executive officer Henrik Slipsager. Our financial results reflect the success of our strategies to focus on key industry verticals and mobile and on-demand businesses and realign our infrastructure and operations. In the fourth quarter, revenues increased 13.5% and organic revenues, excluding the government business, grew approximately 3.9%. We posted a record fourth quarter in our Janitorial segment, with a 4.1% increase in organic revenues due to significant new business wins and tag sales. Operating profit continued to be impacted by initial costs associated with new contracts, which adversely affected the year-over-year comparison. Our Building & Energy Solutions segment continues to gain sales momentum, with organic growth of 26.7% in the fourth quarter, excluding acquisitions and the government business, as we continue to benefit from our investments in our healthcare vertical and help clients reduce their energy and operating costs through bundled energy solutions. We also continue to be pleased with the companies acquired earlier this fiscal year and all are performing at, or above, expectations. In particular, Air Serv had a strong finish to the year, with top-line growth significantly above our outlook.
Slipsager continued, Adjusted income of $0.48 from continuing operations for the fourth quarter exceeded our expectations but was down slightly on a year-over-year basis. The contributions from new business and acquisitions were offset by initial costs associated with new contracts in our Janitorial and Air Serv businesses. In addition, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, included a $0.04 benefit from discrete tax items, compared to an $0.11 benefit from a discrete tax item in fiscal 2012 fourth quarter. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was 33.9%, compared to 21.8% in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.7% to $58.1 million in the quarter, and for the first time in the Companys history, we surpassed $200 million in Adjusted EBITDA with a total of $205.9 million for the fiscal year.
James Lusk, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added, As a result of our continued strong free cash flow, we reduced debt levels by $33 million from the third quarter despite making two acquisitions, and we continue to reward shareholders through our quarterly cash dividend. We ended fiscal 2013 with $315 million in borrowings under our credit facility and have paid down over $100 million of the approximately $200 million borrowed in early fiscal 2013 to fund acquisitions.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.2 million, an increase from $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 due to higher average borrowings on the Companys credit facility to fund acquisitions.
Fiscal 2013 Results
The Company reported record revenues of $4.81 billion for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, an 11.8% increase compared to year-ago revenues of $4.30 billion as a result of strategic acquisitions and organic growth of 2.1%. Excluding our Government business and acquisitions, revenue grew 3.1% compared to fiscal 2012.
Income from continuing operations for the fiscal year 2013 was $72.9 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $62.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the fiscal year 2012.
Adjusted income from continuing operations for the fiscal year 2013 was $85.0 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, compared to $76.1 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, for the fiscal year 2012. The increase of $8.9 million is primarily the result of strong organic growth and solid performances from acquisitions and Building & Energy Solutions as well as lower payroll and payroll related expenses as a result of one less working day, partially offset by higher initial costs on new contracts and sales and marketing costs associated with the Companys growth initiatives as well as lower benefits from discrete tax items.
Slipsager concluded, We are very pleased with our execution against plan in fiscal 2013 and with the progress we have made in realigning our infrastructure. Operations across all business segments continue to be sharply focused on key verticals and integrating our offerings so that clients can better take advantage of our wide-ranging capabilities. We recently integrated our healthcare businesses under ABM Healthcare Support Services, creating an unmatched breadth of services and enabling our healthcare clients to offer higher quality care at lower costs. We continue to see upside opportunity in these strategies and believe that we are well positioned for next year. Our momentum is strong, and we are excited about the Companys long-term prospects and competitive position in fiscal 2014.
Dividend
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.155 per common sharewhich is an increase of 3%payable on February 3, 2014 to stockholders of record on January 2, 2014. This will be ABMs 191st consecutive quarterly cash dividend.
Guidance
For fiscal 2014, the Company expects Income from Continuing Operations of $1.38 to $1.48 per diluted share and Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations of $1.58 to $1.68 per diluted share. The adjusted guidance reflects the exclusion of charges primarily related to the Companys rebranding initiative, adjustments to self-insurance reserves for prior years, and the integration of recent acquisitions, as well as the absence of $2.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in retroactive employment-based tax credits realized in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
