ABM Industries Incorporated (NYSE:ABM) today announced revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 of $901.4 million compared to fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 revenues of $868.0 million. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $21.8 million, a 45.2% increase from $15.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. Net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 increased 41.4% to $0.41 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.29 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 included $1.2 million after-tax expense, primarily related to insurance expense for prior-year claims. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 included $5.5 million after-tax expense for corporate initiatives and insurance expense related to prior years. In addition, the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 included a tax credit of $2.8 million.

"The Company's fourth quarter results delivered a strong finish to the fiscal year," said Henrik Slipsager, president and chief executive officer, ABM Industries Incorporated. "Revenues increased nearly 4% as the Company produced year-over-year growth for the first time in several quarters, including revenues generated from our acquisitions during the fiscal year. We are seeing signs of improvement in our organic growth. Improving revenues, combined with effective management of costs, produced double-digit earnings gains in the fourth quarter as net income increased 45% year-over-year.

"As a result of our ongoing focus on controlling costs to improve margins and sustain profitability, adjusted EBITDA increased 16% compared to the year-ago quarter. SG&A for the quarter decreased more than 7% year-over-year, driven primarily by lower IT costs, and we continue to reduce these expenses as a percentage of revenues. Further, our days sales outstanding declined to 47 days. The combination of our aggressive focus on increased profitability, lower long-term receivables and other assets and tax benefits from the OneSource acquisition helped generate a record $141 million in net cash flow from continuing operations in 2010.

"All four Divisions produced year-over-year revenue increases, a positive direction in what remains a slow economy. Parking grew revenues by more than 13% in the quarter and Security revenues increased 6%. Janitorial revenues are trending better, increasing 1.3% from the year-ago quarter and 2.4% sequentially. These three Divisions generated additional sales in the quarter from key acquisitions earlier in the fiscal year. Engineering continued its upward growth with a 7.5% rise in revenues in the fourth quarter. All of our Divisions continue to do an exceptional job of mitigating the impact of the economy through rigorous cost reductions and a sharp focus on profitability. These efforts are yielding positive results as operating profit for the Divisions increased by almost 6% from the year-ago quarter."

Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was $21.4 million ($0.41 per diluted share) compared to $15.3 million ($0.29 per diluted share) in the year-ago quarter. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted income from continuing operations was $22.6 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. This compares to adjusted income from continuing operations of $20.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.

The Company reported revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 of $3.5 billion, flat compared to year-ago revenues. Net income for fiscal year 2010 was $64.1 million, an increase of 18.1% compared to $54.3 million for fiscal year 2009. Net income per diluted share for fiscal year 2010 was $1.21 per diluted share compared to $1.05 per diluted share for fiscal year 2009. Income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 was $63.9 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to $55.5 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2009. Adjusted income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 was $70.5 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared to $68.8 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2010 was $155.9 million compared to $145.5 million for fiscal year 2009.

On December 1, the Company announced that it had acquired The Linc Group, LLC for $300 million in cash. Linc is a premier provider of end-to-end integrated facilities services that improve operating efficiencies, reduce energy consumption and lower overall operational costs of critical facilities, installations and buildings in the government, commercial and residential sectors. During the fourth quarter, on October 1, the Company also expanded its Parking Division with the acquisition of select assets from the L&R Group of Companies.

Slipsager concluded: "The Linc acquisition is transformational. This transaction greatly expands our client base in engineering and energy services to seize upon the significant growth opportunities in these key markets. During the fourth quarter, we also expanded our national parking operations with the assets from L&R and, earlier in the fiscal year, added new clients and services through the acquisition of Diversco. Both the L&R and Diversco assets are being successfully integrated and are already contributing to additional sales and profitability. Improving revenue trends, as we saw in the fourth quarter, combined with the sales contribution of these key acquisitions, should bring a return to consistent revenue growth. Our strategic actions, operational results and strong cash flow during the fiscal year give us clear momentum and a solid foundation for growth in 2011."

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.14 per common share, which is nearly a 4% increase, payable on February 7, 2011 to stockholders of record on January 6, 2011. This will be ABM's 179^th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

Guidance

As a result of transaction and integration costs as well as other unique items, the Company estimates that income from continuing operations per diluted share for the full 2011 fiscal year will be in the range of $1.23 to $1.33 and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share, for the same period, of $1.43 to $1.53. Factors expected to influence full fiscal year 2011 results include: The Linc Group acquisition will be slightly accretive, with no accretion in the first quarter. The Company expects transaction and integration expense for the full fiscal year of $8 million to $10 million pre-tax. There also will be one additional work day of labor expense for 2011 compared to the prior year, with a pre-tax impact of $4 million to $5 million, primarily on Janitorial fixed-price contracts. This includes one additional work day in the first quarter of 2011. The refinancing of the Company's credit facility is expected to increase year-over-year interest expense in the range of $10 million to $12 million pre-tax.

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. 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 of The Linc Group LLC ("Linc") and 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 90 days' notice; (6) our success depends on our ability to preserve our long-term relationships with clients; (7) we incur significant accounting and other control costs that reduce profitability; (8) a decline in commercial office building occupancy and rental rates could affect our revenues and profitability; (9) 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; (10) the financial difficulties or bankruptcy of one or more of our major clients could adversely affect results; (11) we are subject to risks relating to foreign currency fluctuations and foreign exchange exposure; (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) that portion of our revenues which are generated from international operations are subject to political risks and changes in socio-economic conditions, laws and regulations, including labor, monetary and fiscal policies, which could negatively impact our ability to operate and grow our business in the international arena; (15) 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; (16) 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; (17) any future increase in the level of debt or in interest rates can affect our results of operations; (18) an impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations; (19) we are defendants in several class and representative actions or other lawsuits alleging various claims that could cause us to incur substantial liabilities; (20) 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; (21) labor disputes could lead to loss of revenues or expense variations; (22) federal health care reform legislation may adversely affect our business and results of operations; (23) we participate in multi-employer defined benefit plans which could result in substantial liabilities being incurred; and (24) 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, as adjusted for items impacting comparability, for the fourth quarter and fiscal years 2010 and 2009.

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 fourth quarter and 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.
