Executive Summary:

• Revenues were $1.17 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, up 11.0% compared to $1.06 billion last year, due to $97.7 million in contributions from recent acquisitions and $28.8 million in organic growth from the Onsite businesses.
• Janitorial, Facility Services, and Security segments achieved organic growth of 2.7%, 8.4%, and 3.0%, respectively, from new business and expansion of services with existing clients.
• Adjusted income from continuing operations for the fiscal 2013 second quarter was $0.36 per diluted share, up 20.0%, compared to $0.30 per diluted share in the prior year.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.4% to $52.0 million as a result of contributions from recent acquisitions, one less working day versus the prior year, and new business.
• Net cash from operations was $49.3 million for fiscal 2013 second quarter, a 13.3% increase compared to net cash from operations of $43.5 million for the same period last year.
• Outstanding borrowings under the Company's credit facility decreased by $39 million in the second quarter to $384 million.

Second Quarter Results and Recent Events

"We are very pleased with our second quarter performance, which highlights our success in driving top and bottom line growth," said ABM's president and chief executive officer Henrik Slipsager. "Our 11% increase in revenue was due to the strength of our acquired businesses and organic growth from our Janitorial, Facility Services and Security segments. I am encouraged by the fact Janitorial surpassed 2% organic growth and Facility Services achieved another quarter above 8%. Sales in the Building & Energy Solutions segment increased 8.4% due to acquisitions. With recent project wins, a strong sales pipeline, and an improving economy, the Company is well positioned for sustained growth. We were recently selected as the official cleaning services partner of The O2 in London, one of the world's largest and most notable entertainment destinations. In addition, during the second quarter, we entered into a joint venture with Building Energy, an Italian-based independent power producer, significantly expanding our solar and distributed energy capabilities in large-scale commercial and utility-scale solar power markets."

Slipsager continued, "Adjusted income from continuing operations improved $3.9 million, or nearly 24%, due to contributions from the recent acquisitions and new sales. As expected, we received an approximately $0.04 per diluted share benefit from lower labor expense as a result of one less working day in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, although this was largely offset by a higher tax rate of 39.2% compared to 33.3% in the second quarter of 2012. The quarter also generated over 28% growth in Adjusted EBITDA, which increased to $52.0 million compared to $40.5 million in the year-ago quarter. On a reported basis, we achieved a 65% increase in net income, partially due to a $3.2 million after-tax reduction in legal fees compared to the prior year."

James Lusk, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added, "The Company's strong cash flow generation in the second quarter, which on a year-over-year basis was up 13% to $49.3 million, enabled us to reduce debt levels and we ended the second quarter with $384 million of borrowings under our credit facility, down $39 million from $423 million in the prior quarter."

Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.0 million, an increase from $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 due to higher average borrowings on the Company's credit facility to fund recent acquisitions.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 39.2%, compared to 33.3% in the same period last year, primarily due to discrete adjustments for employment-based tax credits recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Slipsager concluded, "We are continuing to lay the foundation for more revenue and profit growth in the future and look forward to sequential improvement in the back half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter. Our recently acquired businesses are exceeding expectations and we are leveraging these investments and our core businesses to pursue growth opportunities in new sales, vertical markets and client expansion. With our efforts to rebrand and realign the business to better capture these market opportunities and increase productivity, our team is making progress collaborating on sales leads and in cross selling our services, particularly in the South Central region, where the integration and consolidation initiatives are well underway. We expect to begin reorganizing our Northeastern and Midwest markets in the third quarter and remain on track to reduce expenses by $3.5 million to $4.0 million in fiscal 2013. As previously communicated, we are investing these savings in our sales organization and in key initiatives we have developed to drive future growth. "

Six Months Results

The Company reported revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2013 of $2.36 billion, which represents a 10.5% increase compared to year-ago revenues of $2.13 billion. The growth was driven by a combination of $198.0 million from the recent acquisitions and organic growth in the first half of fiscal 2013 in the Janitorial, Facility Services, and Security segments.

Income from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal year 2013 was $32.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to $22.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal year 2012.

Adjusted income from continuing operations for the first half of fiscal year 2013 was $34.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $28.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal year 2012. The increase of $6.9 million is the result of higher revenue primarily from acquisitions and an improvement in operating margins from lower expenses.

Dividend

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.15 per common share payable on August 5, 2013 to stockholders of record on July 5, 2013. This will be ABM's 189^th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

Guidance

Based on year-to-date performance and outlook for the balance of the year, the Company is raising guidance for fiscal year 2013. The Company now anticipates income from continuing operations of $1.21 to $1.31 per diluted share and adjusted income from continuing operations of $1.40 to $1.50 per diluted share.

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 second quarter and six 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 second quarter and six 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)
