Executive Summary:

• Revenues were $1.23 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, up 4.9% compared to $1.17 billion last year, primarily due to organic growth of 4.1%.
• Janitorial achieved organic growth of 3.1%; Building & Energy Solutions (BES) and Other (Air Serv) segments delivered organic growth of 21.0% and 5.9%, respectively, due to newly awarded contracts.
• Items impacting comparability for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 are $3.6 million after-tax. This includes $1.9 million after-tax for litigation associated with an unfavorable arbitration award. The remaining $1.7 million after-tax of items impacting comparability are primarily associated with rebranding and restructuring initiatives.
• Adjusted net income after-tax was $0.33 per diluted share, down 8.3% compared to $0.36 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily as a result of higher legal expenses, start-up costs associated with significant new contracts, and adverse weather. Combined, these items reduced adjusted net income by $0.04 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. In addition, fiscal 2013 second quarter compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014, included a higher tax benefit of $0.02 per diluted share, primarily from the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
• Net cash from operations was $76.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, up 55.4% compared to net cash from operations of $49.3 million for the same period last year, primarily as a result of timing of client receivables and payment of vendor invoices.

Second Quarter Results and Recent Events

"We achieved record revenue for the second quarter, with organic growth across all operating segments," said ABM's president and chief executive officer Henrik Slipsager. "Our top-line momentum continued to accelerate as we achieved a 4.9% increase in revenue, driven primarily by new business in our Onsite and BES groups. However, operating profits from the new business, as well as savings realized from the realignment of our infrastructure and operations, were offset by greater than anticipated legal expenses, start-up costs, and the impact of unfavorable weather. Our Janitorial segment posted a 3.1% increase in revenue primarily due to new contract wins. Operating profit for Janitorial decreased 3.5% mainly due to higher legal expenses and start-up costs. BES segment revenue increased 26.2% in the second quarter as we experienced strong organic growth in our building and energy, government and healthcare businesses and benefited from the acquisition of BEST Infrared Services and Alpha Mechanical. Operating profit in BES increased 105.9% due to the growth in revenue. In our Other segment, Air Serv posted a 12.0% increase in revenue due to strong organic growth and the August 2013 acquisition of Blackjack, but operating profit before-tax decreased 4.0% due to the short-term impact of higher start-up costs on significant new jobs of $0.9 million."

Slipsager continued, "Adjusted operating profit before-tax decreased 2.6% or $0.9 million to $34.2 million, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013, largely due to increased legal expenses of $1.6 million, higher start-up costs of $1.5 million, associated with significant new contracts, and adverse weather of $0.8 million.

On a reported basis, net income after-tax decreased $4.1 million or 21.2% to $15.2 million ($0.27 per diluted share), due to higher legal expenses of $3.0 million after-tax ($0.05 per diluted share), this includes a $1.9 million after-tax unfavorable arbitration award, an increase of start-up costs on significant new jobs of $0.9 million after-tax ($0.02 per diluted share), and $0.5 million ($0.01 per diluted share) associated with adverse weather. In addition, without the extension of WOTC, which is currently being discussed by Congress, fiscal 2013 second quarter compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014, included a higher benefit of $0.02 per diluted share."

James Lusk, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added, "The Company's cash flow generation in the second quarter, up 55.4% to $76.6 million on a year-over-year basis, enabled us to reduce debt levels and return value to our shareholders through the payment of a quarterly cash dividend. We ended the second quarter with $327.2 million of borrowings under our credit facility, down $39.8 million from $367.0 million in the prior quarter."

Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $2.7 million, a decrease from $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 due to lower average borrowings and a lower average rate under the Company's credit facility compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was 42.4%, compared to 39.1% in the same period last year due to the expiration of WOTC on December 31, 2013. The anticipated effective tax rate for fiscal year 2014 continues to be in a range of 36% to 38% and assumes the retroactive reenactment of WOTC by Congress prior to the end of the Company's fiscal year on October 31, 2014.

Slipsager concluded, "We delivered a strong second quarter of revenue and remain on track to meet our financial objectives for the year as we continue to set the stage for profitable growth across all our business segments. Our positive sales momentum in Building & Energy Solutions and Air Serv continues and we have recently been awarded significant wins in our stadium and entertainment and education verticals, including Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Convention Center and Cornell University. In our aviation business, we continue to expand upon our tremendous relationship with London Heathrow Airport, with a new contract to run the airport's inter-terminal bus services, further solidifying our goal to enhance the end-to-end Heathrow passenger experience. We believe improving top-line results, recent performance in BES and Air Serv, continued cost discipline in Onsite, and recognizing that significant start-up costs are largely behind us, ABM is well positioned for significant earnings growth in the second half of the year."

Six Months Results

The Company reported revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2014 of $2.46 billion, a 4.3% increase compared to year-ago revenues of $2.36 billion, primarily due to additional revenues from new business.

Income from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal year 2014 was $28.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $32.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal year 2013.

Adjusted income from continuing operations for the first half of fiscal year 2014 was $32.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to $34.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal year 2013. The decrease of $2.0 million is primarily the result of higher initial costs incurred on new contracts, an increase in legal expenses and the impact of unfavorable weather, partially offset by higher profits in our BES segment and realignment savings. In addition, adjusted income from continuing operations for the first six months of fiscal 2013 included a higher benefit of $0.08 per diluted share primarily from WOTC compared to the first six months of fiscal 2014.

Dividend

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.155 per common share payable on August 4, 2014 to stockholders of record on July 3, 2014. This will be ABM's 193rd consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

Guidance

The Company reaffirms its previously issued 2014 guidance for after-tax net income of $1.38 to $1.48 per diluted share and adjusted after-tax net income of $1.58 to $1.68 per diluted share. This guidance assumes that Congress will retroactively reenact the Work Opportunity Tax Credit within the Company's fiscal year, which ends October 31, 2014.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement ABM's consolidated financial information, the Company has presented net income and operating profit, as adjusted for items impacting comparability, for the second quarter and six months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013. 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 items impacting comparability (adjusted EBITDA) for the second quarter and six months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013. 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.
