ABM INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2003 -- ABM Industries Incorporated (NYSE:ABM) today reported net income for the quarter ended April 30, 2003 of $9.9 million ($0.20 per diluted share) compared to $14.0 million ($0.27 per diluted share) reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Revenues for the second quarter of 2003 were $589.8 million, up 11% from $530.2 million in the second quarter of 2002. The quarter ended April 30, 2002 included a $4.3 million ($2.7 million after tax, $.05 per diluted share) gain from the receipt of an initial payment from the World Trade Center insurance claim. Included in the quarter ended April 30, 2003 were revenues and operating profits generated by ABM Lakeside Building Maintenance, which ABM acquired in July 2002, and the Company's acquisition of Horizon's self-performed janitorial operations in January 2003. Net income for the six months ended April 30, 2003 was $14.2 million ($0.29 per diluted share) compared to $22.0 million ($0.43 per diluted share) reported for the first half of fiscal 2002. Revenues for the first half of 2003 were $1,170.5 million, up 11% from $1,057.7 million in the first half of 2002. "Given the tough economic environment, our second quarter performance was solid," said Henrik C. Slipsager, ABM's President and Chief Executive Officer. "High vacancies in office buildings, the downturn in travel related to SARS and the Iraqi war, and customers' continued tightening of budgets that reduced higher margin capital project work and extra services, all made a difference in our results today," said Slipsager. "We are pleased that the changes we implemented to improve the performance of both our Lighting and Janitorial Northeast Region, which had disappointing first quarters, are showing positive returns. Furthermore, the integration of Horizon's self-performed janitorial acquisition is on schedule and we are very excited about the recently completed acquisition of the southern California operations of Valet Parking Service," said Slipsager. "Despite this progress, we anticipate that the difficult economic environment will continue for the remainder of 2003. We expect 2003 diluted earnings per share to be approximately $0.85 per share. We are fundamentally well-positioned for internal growth when the economy improves," he added. Wednesday morning, June 11, at 6:00 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time), ABM will host a live webcast of remarks by President & Chief Executive Officer Henrik C. Slipsager and Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer George B. Sundby, who will also answer questions from a panel of financial analysts who will join Slipsager and Sundby on the conference call.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT Cautionary Safe Harbor Disclosure for Forward Looking Statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Because of the factors set forth below, as well as other variables affecting the Company's operating results, past financial performance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to meaningful risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: (1) significant decreases in commercial real estate occupancy, resulting in reduced demand and pricing pressures on building maintenance and other facility services in the Company's major markets, (2) inability to pass through cost increases in a timely manner, or at all, or to reduce expenses when sales decline, (3) loss or bankruptcy of one or more of the Company's major customers, which could adversely affect the Company's ability to collect its accounts receivable or recover its deferred costs as well as having an adverse impact on future revenue, (4) major collective bargaining issues that may cause loss of revenues or cost increases that non-union competitors can use to their advantage in gaining market share, (5) significant shortfalls in adding additional customers in existing and new territories and markets, (6) inability to successfully integrate acquisitions into the Company, (7) a protracted slowdown in the Company's acquisition activities, (8) legislation or other governmental action that severely impacts one or more of the Company's lines of business, such as price controls that could restrict price increases, or the unrecovered cost of any universal employer-paid health insurance, as well as government investigations that adversely affect the Company, (9) reduction or revocation of the Company's line of credit, which would increase interest expense or the cost of capital, (10) cancellation or nonrenewal of the Company's primary insurance policies, as many customers contract out services based on the contractor's ability to provide adequate insurance coverage and limits, (11) catastrophic uninsured or underinsured claims against the Company, the inability of the Company's insurance carriers to pay otherwise insured claims, or inadequacy in the Company's reserve for self-insured claims, (12) inability to employ entry level personnel at competitive wage rates due to labor shortages, (13) resignation, termination, death or disability of one or more of the Company's key executives, which could adversely affect customer retention and day-to-day management of the Company, and (14) other material factors that are disclosed from time to time in the Company's public filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, such as reports on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K.
