NEW YORK, NY — June 2, 2010 — ABM Industries Incorporated (NYSE:ABM) today announced revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 of $855.5 million compared to second quarter of fiscal year 2009 revenues of $855.7 million. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $8.6 million, a 32.9% decrease from $12.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Net income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased 36.0% to $0.16 compared to second quarter of fiscal year 2009 net income per diluted share of $0.25. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was impacted by a $2.7 million after-tax expense ($0.05 per diluted share) for a specific legal contingency; a $2.2 million after-tax expense ($0.04 per diluted share) resulting from one additional day of labor expense in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to the year-ago quarter; and higher than anticipated state unemployment insurance expense of approximately $0.03 per diluted share.
“The Company’s adjusted earnings for the quarter are as anticipated and we continue to expect year-over-year growth in the second half of the fiscal year,” said Henrik Slipsager, president and chief executive officer, ABM Industries Incorporated. “Revenues were flat for the quarter and the first six months of the fiscal year, pointing to signs of gradual improvement in the economic climate compared to fiscal year 2009. Traditional seasonal reductions in labor expense in the second half of the fiscal year combined with one less working day in the third quarter will contribute to improved profitability. We also will mitigate the impact of higher unemployment insurance expense during the second half of the year through a combination of government hiring incentives, working with our clients and improved operating efficiencies. Further, we expect that recent sales wins, our expanding sales pipeline and an increasing focus on client retention will drive top-line growth going forward.”
“We also are continuing to have success with our strategies for effectively managing costs and capital. We reduced our line of credit by $27 million, to $145 million, in the quarter. Our days sales outstanding of 48 decreased by 3 days since January 31, 2010. Executing our cost and capital strategies helped the Company achieve net operating cash flow from continuing operations of $50 million, a more than 60% increase over the year-ago quarter. We will continue our successful operating strategies to deliver bottom line savings and generate cash.”
“Our divisions continue to secure new business as the economy improves while maintaining a sharp focus on job profitability. Engineering had another strong quarter, with both revenues and operating profit growing by more than 20% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. While Parking revenues were essentially flat year-over-year, the Division increased operating profit by more than 6% in the second quarter, driven by strong performance with several airport clients and an ongoing focus on management of indirect expenses. The Janitorial Division continues to aggressively manage labor and other costs to offset pressures on revenues. The Division’s results were primarily impacted by the one additional day of labor expense in the second quarter and higher state unemployment insurance costs. Security revenues were slightly down for the quarter, and profitability was also impacted by the higher than anticipated state unemployment insurance tax rates.”
Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $8.6 million ($0.16 per diluted share) compared to $13.0 million ($0.25 per diluted share) in the year-ago quarter. As noted above, income was impacted by a $2.7 million after-tax expense ($0.05 per diluted share) for a specific legal contingency; a $2.2 million after-tax expense ($0.04 per diluted share) resulting from one additional day of labor expense in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to the year-ago quarter; and higher than anticipated state unemployment insurance expense of approximately $0.03 per diluted share. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted income from continuing operations was $11.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. This compares to adjusted income from continuing operations of $16.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.
The Company’s adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding discontinued operations and items impacting comparability) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $29.4 million compared to $36.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.

The Company reported revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2010 of $1.7 billion, flat compared to year-ago revenues of $1.7 billion. Net income for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $21.4 million, a decrease of 20.9% compared to $27.0 million for the first half of fiscal year 2009. Net income per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 decreased 21.2% to $0.41 per diluted share compared to $0.52 per diluted share in the first half of fiscal year 2009. Income from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $21.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $27.8 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. Adjusted income from continuing operations for the first half of fiscal year 2010 was $26.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal year 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of fiscal year 2010 was $62.0 million compared to $66.4 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2009.
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.135 per common share payable on August 2, 2010 to stockholders of record on July 1, 2010. This will be ABM’s 177th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.
Guidance
The Company reiterates its 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.

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 April 30, 2010. 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 and adversely affect our labor force, operations and financial results and our reputation; (20) labor disputes could lead to loss of revenues or expense variations; (21) federal health care reform legislation may adversely affect our business and results of operations; (22) we participate in multi-employer defined benefit plans which could result in substantial liabilities being incurred; and (23) natural disasters or acts of terrorism could disrupt our services. 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, 2009 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 second quarter and first six months of fiscal years 2010 and 2009 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 second quarter and first six months of fiscal years 2010 and 2009. 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.

Forward Looking Statement This presentation 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 presentation continue to be subject to adjustment until filing of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2010. 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; (21) federal health care reform legislation may adversely affect our business and results of operations; (22) we participate in multi-employer defined benefit plans which could result in substantial liabilities being incurred; and (23) natural disasters or acts of terrorism could disrupt our services. 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, 2009 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.


 

Statements Relating to Non-GAAP Financial Measures During the course of this presentation, certain non- GAAP financial measures described as "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations," "Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations per Diluted Share" and "Free Cash Flow from continuing operations" that were not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP will be presented. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is available on the Company's website under "Investor Relations" and at the end of this presentation.
