• Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.3% to $52.5 million from $49.4 million.

Management Commentary

"Our results in the second quarter reflect the success of our people and their continued commitment to providing a level of services our clients have come to expect," said Scott Salmirs, ABM's president and chief executive officer. "I am encouraged by how the firm continues to evolve toward a customer-centric approach."

Second quarter revenues increased by $39 million or 3.2% to $1.27 billion. Adjusted net income rose by $2.5 million or 13.3% to $21.3 million compared to the prior-year period, driven primarily from enhancements to in-year risk management safety programs, operational efficiencies, contributions from acquisitions, and new business. Partially offsetting these benefits was one additional day of labor expense, and an increase in expenses to support sales and IT initiatives.

ABM's Onsite organization was able to drive higher operating margins among its divisions, through cancellation or loss of low margin business, the continuing benefit from enhancements to in-year risk management and safety programs, and improved operational efficiencies.

The Building & Energy Solutions Group ("BESG") achieved revenue growth of 2.5% to $121.5 million compared to $118.5 million, but experienced a decline in operating profit of $0.3 million or 8.6% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014.  A portion of our BESG business is project related and seasonal, typically showing significantly stronger performance in the third and fourth quarters. The company continues to expect year-over-year double digit growth in revenue and operating profit in this business and anticipates the balanced portfolio mix of project and recurring maintenance businesses will deliver long-term profitable growth for the enterprise.

The Air Serv business (Other Segment), had another quarter of exceptional revenue growth with an increase of 12.8% to $96.1 million from $85.2 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The Air Serv service capabilities continue to resonate in the aviation industry. Operating profit for Air Serv increased by $0.6 million, or 25.0% to $3.0 million due to lower amortization, and enhancements to in-year risk management and safety programs.

Salmirs continued, "Since the announcement of my promotion to chief executive officer I have spent considerable time with our employees, our clients, and our shareholders. I firmly believe we have the opportunity to build on the solid foundation we created over the last few years. To help accomplish this, we launched a broad strategic review and we recently enlisted the Boston Consulting Group to assist us in developing the framework for a comprehensive long-term strategic plan. In the fall, we expect to share the details of the strategic plan. Our intention is to enhance our financial performance and improve shareholder value."

Liquidity & Capital Structure

The Company's liquidity remains strong, with capacity of up to $376.9 million under the Company's $800.0 million line of credit subject to certain covenant restrictions. As of quarter end, total debt outstanding was $307.0 million. The Company's operations generated $71.4 million in cash. During the quarter, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $9.0 million and repurchased 313,242 shares at a cost of $10.0 million; $7.9 million settled in the quarter while the remaining $2.1 million settled in the third fiscal quarter.

Captive Insurance Company

Anthony Scaglione, executive vice president and chief financial officer, noted, "During the second quarter, the Company launched its wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary (IFM Assurance Company). The captive should provide ABM with increased flexibility in the end-to-end management of its insurance programs with the intent to develop an enterprise wide multi-year insurance strategy. In addition, for fiscal 2015, the Company anticipates a cash tax benefit of $15.0 million to $20.0 million relating to the captive."

Acquisition of CTS Services/Facility Support Services

Effective May 1^st, ABM's BESG business acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of CTS Services/Facility Support Services, a provider of HVAC service and energy solutions in government, commercial, and industrial buildings for a purchase price of $20.0 million. CTS Services/Facility Support Services are headquartered in Beltsville, Maryland and maintain operations in Texas and West Virginia, in addition to the greater DC and Baltimore areas. In 2014, annual revenues exceeded $35 million. The Company anticipates that this acquisition will not materially impact adjusted net income per diluted share in fiscal 2015, and will be slightly accretive in fiscal 2016.

Dividend

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.160 per common share payable on August 3, 2015 to stockholders of record on July 2, 2015. This will be ABM's 197th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

Fiscal 2015 Guidance

The Company is maintaining guidance for adjusted net income of $1.75 to $1.85 per diluted share and net income of $1.55 to $1.65 per diluted share. This guidance excludes potential benefits associated with an extension of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit ("WOTC") for calendar 2015. If Congress were to extend the WOTC for calendar 2015 prior to October 31, 2015, the Company could have a further benefit of $0.08 per diluted share.

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 of fiscal years 2015 and 2014. 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 of fiscal years 2015 and 2014. 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.
