Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Basis of Presentation ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations (collectively, “ServiceMaster,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leading provider of essential services to residential and commercial customers in the termite, pest control, cleaning and restoration markets, operating through an extensive service network of more than 8,000 company‑owned locations and franchise and license agreements. Our mission is to simplify and improve the quality of our customers’ lives by delivering services that help them protect and maintain their homes or businesses, typically their most highly valued assets. Our portfolio of well‑recognized brands includes AmeriSpec (home inspections), Copesan (commercial national accounts pest management), Furniture Medic (cabinet and furniture repair), Merry Maids (residential cleaning), ServiceMaster Clean (commercial cleaning), ServiceMaster Restore (restoration), Terminix (residential termite and pest control) and Terminix Commercial (commercial termite and pest control). All consolidated Company subsidiaries are wholly-owned. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We recommend that the quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC (the “2018 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be achieved for any other interim period or for the full year. American Home Shield Spin-off On October 1, 2018, we completed the spin-off of our American Home Shield business. The separation was effectuated through a pro rata dividend (the “Distribution”) to our stockholders of approximately 80.2 % of the outstanding shares of common stock of frontdoor, inc. (“Frontdoor”), which was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary to hold our American Home Shield business. The Distribution was made to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 14, 2018 (the “Record Date”), and such stockholders received one share of Frontdoor common stock for every two shares of ServiceMaster common stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date. In March 2019, we exchanged all of the 19.8 % of the outstanding shares of common stock of Frontdoor we retained for certain of our outstanding indebtedness, which obligations were subsequently cancelled and discharged upon delivery to us. See Note 12 for further discussion regarding this transaction. The American Home Shield Segment is reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in discontinued operations.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, other than those described below. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842) ” (codified within FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842) which is the final standard on accounting for leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11, which amend ASU 2016-02 to provide companies an alternative transition method whereby it may elect to recognize and measure leases by applying the cumulative impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 to the opening retained earnings balance in the period of adoption, thereby removing the requirement that the financial statements of prior periods be restated. We utilized this alternative transition method. While both lessees and lessors are affected by the new guidance, the effects on lessees are much more significant. The most significant change for lessees is the requirement under the new guidance to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases not considered short-term leases. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach to adopt the guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019, and elected the available practical expedients upon adoption. See Note 13 for further discussion of our lease assets and liabilities. The impacts of the adoption of this ASU on our condensed consolidated statements of financial position are as follows: As previously reported, Impact of adopting (In millions) December 31, 2018 ASC 842 January 1, 2019 Operating lease right-of-use assets $ — $ 107 $ 107 Finance lease assets, within Property and equipment, net 89 — 89 Total right-of-use assets $ 89 $ 107 $ 195 Other assets 87 — 86 Total assets $ 5,023 $ 106 $ 5,129 Current portion of long-term lease liability $ — $ 15 $ 15 Long-term lease liability — 120 120 Current finance lease liability, within Current portion of long-term debt 31 — 31 Long-term finance lease liability, within Long-term debt 60 — 60 Total lease liabilities $ 90 $ 135 $ 225 Accrued liabilities, Other 61 ( 1 ) 60 Other long-term obligations, primarily self-insured claims 182 ( 28 ) 155 Total liabilities $ 2,818 $ 106 $ 2,925 In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities .” The ASU simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting and improves disclosures of hedging arrangements through the elimination of the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The ASU generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item in order to align financial reporting of hedging relationships with economic results. Entities must apply the amendments to cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “ Codification Improvements. ” This ASU does not prescribe any new accounting guidance, but instead makes minor improvements and clarifications of several different FASB Accounting Standards Codification areas based on comments and suggestions made by various stakeholders. Certain updates are applicable immediately while others provide for a transition period to adopt as part of the next fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “ Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract .” This ASU requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (i.e., hosting arrangements) to be capitalized under the same premises of authoritative guidance for internal-use software, and deferred over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or for which the exercise is controlled by the service provider. The amendments in ASU 2018-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We early adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, resulting in the capitalization of certain development costs, primarily related to our implementation of Salesforce to replace legacy operating systems. In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, “ Disclosure Update and Simplification ,” amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018, with relief provided for filings made shortly after the final rule’s effective date in SEC Question 105.09 of the Exchange Act Forms C&DIs. We adopted this final rule on November 5, 2018, and modified our disclosures as necessary, which included the presentation of a condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, “ Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes ,” which amends ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This ASU adds the OIS rate based on SOFR to the list of permissible benchmark rates for hedge accounting purposes. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations. A ccounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ” This ASU requires entities to report “expected” credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model. These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures relating to significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “ Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses .” This ASU does not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13; instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses standard. This ASU will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “ Fair Value Measurement. ” This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption is permitted until fiscal 2021 for the new disclosures. We are currently evaluating the disclosure changes necessary to our consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

Revenues[Abstract]
Revenues	Note 3. Revenues Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The following table presents our reportable segment revenues, disaggregated by revenue source. We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major product lines. We have determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. On April 1, 2019, we divested the assets associated with our fumigation service line and now provide fumigation services to our customers through arrangements with independent third parties. Revenue related to fumigation completion services and the related renewals (the “Fumigation Services”) is shown in Fumigation below and prior period amounts related to the Fumigation Services have been reclassified from Termite and Home Services to Fumigation to conform to the current period presentation.

Contracts with customers are generally for a period of one year or less and are generally renewable. We record a receivable related to revenue recognized on services once we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to the services provided. All accounts receivables are recorded within Receivables, less allowances, on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The current portion of Notes receivable, which represents amounts financed for customers through our financing subsidiary, are included within Receivables, less allowances, on the condensed consolidated statement of financial position and totaled $ 45 million and $ 42 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Deferred revenue represents a contract liability and is recognized when cash payments are received in advance of the performance of services, including when the amounts are refundable. For Terminix, amounts are recognized as revenue upon completion of services. Deferred revenue by segment was as follows: As of As of (In millions) June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Terminix $ 97 $ 91 ServiceMaster Brands (1) 10 11 Total $ 107 $ 101 ___________________________________ (1) Includes approximately $ 6 million and $ 7 million of ServiceMaster Brands Deferred revenue included within Other long-term obligations, primarily self-insurance claims on the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Discontinued Operations [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Note 5. Discontinued Operations American Home Shield Spin-off On October 1, 2018, we completed the spin-off of our American Home Shield business. The separation was effectuated through a Distribution to our stockholders of approximately 80.2 % of the outstanding shares of common stock of Frontdoor. The Distribution was made to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 14, 2018, and such stockholders received one share of Frontdoor common stock for every two shares of ServiceMaster common stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date. In March 2019, we exchanged all of the 19.8 % of the outstanding shares of common stock of Frontdoor we retained for certain of our outstanding indebtedness, which obligations were subsequently cancelled and discharged upon delivery to us. See Note 12 for further discussion regarding this transaction. The American Home Shield Segment is reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in discontinued operations. In connection with the American Home Shield spin-off, the Company and Frontdoor entered into (1) a separation and distribution agreement containing key provisions relating to the separation of Frontdoor effectuated through the Distribution, as well as insurance coverage, non-competition, indemnification and other matters, (2) an employee matters agreement allocating liabilities and responsibilities relating to employee benefit plans and programs and other related matters and (3) a tax matters agreement governing the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the parties thereto with respect to taxes, including allocating liabilities for income taxes attributable to Frontdoor and its subsidiaries generally to the Company for tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before October 1, 2018, and generally to Frontdoor for tax periods (or portions thereof) beginning after that date. The charges for the transition services are designed to allow us to fully recover the direct costs of providing the services, plus specified margins and any out-of-pocket costs and expenses. The services provided under the transition services agreement will terminate at various specified times, and in no event later than December 31, 2019. Frontdoor may terminate the transition services agreement (or certain services under the transition services agreement) for convenience upon 90 days written notice, in which case Frontdoor will be required to reimburse us for early termination costs. Under this transition services agreement, in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded approximately $ 1 million of fees from Frontdoor, which are included, net of costs incurred, in Selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Payments received during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled approximately $ 1 million. The Company and Frontdoor also entered into a sublease agreement for the space Frontdoor retained in our Global Service Center and Memphis customer care center after the spin-off. We recognized approximately $ 1 million of rental income in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $ 1 million and $ 4 million of other cost reimbursements related to these sublease agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which were recorded as a reduction of Selling and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Payments received under the sublease agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $ 3 million and $ 4 million, respectively. Financial Information for Discontinued Operations Gain from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for all periods presented includes the operating results of Frontdoor and previously sold businesses.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies We carry insurance policies on insurable risks at levels that we believe to be appropriate, including workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability risks. We purchase insurance policies from third-party insurance carriers, which typically incorporate significant deductibles or self-insured retentions. We are responsible for all claims that fall below the retention limits, exceed our coverage limits or are otherwise not covered by our insurance policies. In determining our accrual for self-insured claims, we use historical claims experience to establish both the current year accrual and the underlying provision for future losses. This actuarially determined provision and related accrual include known claims, as well as incurred but not reported claims. We adjust our estimate of accrued self-insured claims when required to reflect changes based on factors such as changes in health care costs, accident frequency and claim severity. In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions. While the maximum amount to which we may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, we do not expect these guarantees and indemnifications to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. A reconciliation of beginning and ending accrued self-insured claims, which are included in Accrued liabilities—Self-insured claims and related expenses and Other long-term obligations, primarily self-insured claims on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, net of insurance recoverables, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, is presented as follows: Accrued Self-insured (In millions) Claims, Net Balance as of December 31, 2018 $ 111 Provision for self-insured claims 18 Cash payments ( 14 ) Balance as of June 30, 2019 $ 115 Balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 115 Provision for self-insured claims 17 Cash payments ( 18 ) Balance as of June 30, 2018 $ 114 Termite damage claim accruals in the Terminix business are recorded based on both the historical rates of claims incurred within a contract year and the cost per claim. Current activity could differ causing a change in estimates. We have certain liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. We accrue for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. On December 16, 2016, the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Justice filed a civil complaint in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands related to a fumigation incident in a matter styled Government of the United States Virgin Islands v. The ServiceMaster Company, LLC, The Terminix International Company Limited Partnership, and Terminix International USVI, LLC. The amount and extent of any potential penalties, fines sanctions, costs and damages that the federal or other governmental authorities may yet impose, investigation or other costs and reputational harm, as well as the impact of any additional civil, criminal or other claims or judicial, administrative or regulatory proceedings resulting from or related to the U.S. Virgin Islands fumigation matter, which could be material, is not currently known, and any such further penalties, fines, sanctions, costs or damages would not be covered under our general liability insurance policies. In addition to the matter discussed above, in the ordinary course of conducting business activities, we and our subsidiaries become involved in judicial, administrative and regulatory proceedings involving both private parties and governmental authorities. These proceedings include insured and uninsured matters that are brought on an individual, collective, representative and class action basis, or other proceedings involving regulatory, employment, general and commercial liability, automobile liability, wage and hour, environmental and other matters. We have entered into settlement agreements in certain cases, including with respect to putative collective and class actions, which are subject to court or other approvals, and which require compliance with the terms of the agreements. If one or more of our settlements are not finally approved and implemented, we could have additional or different exposure, which could be material. Subject to the paragraphs above, we do not expect any of these proceedings to have a material effect on our reputation, business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, we can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect our reputation, business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, primarily trade names, are not amortized and are subject to assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Our annual assessment date is October 1. There were no impairment charges recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. There were no accumulated impairment losses recorded as of June 30, 2019.

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 4 million ($ 3 million, net of tax) and $ 4 million ($ 3 million, net of tax), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 8 million ($ 6 million, net of tax) and $ 8 million ($ 6 million, net of tax), respectively. These charges are recorded within Selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2019, there was $ 33 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units granted under the Amended and Restated ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2. 36 years. On February 24, 2015, our board of directors approved and recommended for approval by our stockholders the ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Employee Stock Purchase Plan”), which became effective for offering periods commencing July 1, 2015. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan was intended to qualify for the favorable tax treatment under Section 423 of the Code. Under the plan, eligible employees of the Company may purchase common stock, subject to IRS limits, during pre-specified offering periods at a discount established by the Company not to exceed 10 percent of the then current fair market value. On April 27, 2015, our stockholders approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a maximum of one million shares of common stock authorized for sale under the plan. On November 3, 2015, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the one million shares of common stock that may be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and, as a result, all shares of common stock acquired under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be freely tradable under the Securities Act, unless purchased by our affiliates. Our Compensation Committee amended the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in February 2019 to allow for more frequent purchase periods and to change the allowed 10 percent discount to a company match of 10 percent of employee contributions. The authorized number of shares remaining in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not changed from 843,584 and the expiration date of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not changed from April 27, 2025 . Stock Options In February 2019, our board of directors approved an amended Employee Stock Option Agreement, whereby all options granted in 2019 and thereafter will generally vest in three equal annual installments (rather than four ), have a term of eight years (rather than 10 years) and remain subject to an employee’s continued employment. The three year vesting period is the requisite service period over which compensation cost will be recognized on a straight-line basis for all grants. All options issued are accounted for as equity-classified awards. On January 1, 2019, in connection with an acquisition, we granted 136,092 RSUs to an executive key to our urban markets strategy. All such RSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary of their grant and are subject to the executive’s continued employment.

Comprehensive Income	Note 9. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income, which primarily includes net income, unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments and the effect of foreign currency translation, is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on marketable securities of $ 3 million ($ 2 million, net of tax) were included in other comprehensive income prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. Subsequent to the adoption, these unrealized gains have been reclassified to retained earnings. Additionally, stranded tax effects of approximately $ 4 million resulting from the corporate income tax rate change in U.S. Tax Reform were reclassified upon our adoption of ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2018. The income tax effects remaining in Accumulated other comprehensive income will be released into earnings as the related pre-tax amounts are reclassified to earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we terminated $ 479 million of our interest rate swap and received $ 12 million from the counterparty. The fair value of the terminated portion of the interest rate swap of $ 12 million is recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position and will be amortized into interest expense over the original term of the agreement.

There were insignificant unrealized gains and losses recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. We periodically review our Debt securities to determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in value. There were no impairment charges due to declines in the value of these investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Additionally, we hold minority interests in several strategic investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and are recorded at cost and are remeasured upon the occurrence of observable price changes or impairments. We account for these investments at fair value with adjustments to fair value recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations within Interest and net investment income. The investments are included within Other Assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. At June 30, 2019, the carrying amount of these investments was $ 4 million.

(2) As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, presented net of $ 9 million and $ 10 million, respectively, in unamortized debt issuance costs. (3) As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, collectively presented net of $ 30 million and $ 33 million, respectively, of unamortized fair value adjustments related to purchase accounting, which increases the effective interest rate from the coupon rates shown above. (4) We have entered into a fleet management services agreement (the “Fleet Agreement”) which, among other things, allows us to obtain fleet vehicles through a leasing program. All leases under the Fleet Agreement are finance leases for accounting purposes. The lease rental payments include an interest component calculated using a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR plus other contractual adjustments and a borrowing margin totaling 2.45 percent. (5) As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, includes approximately $ 84 million and $ 82 million, respectively, of future payments in connection with our acquisitions of Copesan and other companies as further described in Note 14. Extinguishment of Debt and Repurchase of Notes On March 12, 2019, we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $ 600 million under a short-term credit facility to effectuate a debt-for-equity exchange of our Frontdoor retained shares. The proceeds of this short-term credit facility were used to repay $ 468 million aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding under our senior secured term loan facility in March and April of 2019. Such prepayments resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 4 million for the six months ended June 30 , 2019. On March 27, 2019, we completed a non-cash debt-for-equity exchange in which we exchanged the 16.7 million retained shares of Frontdoor common stock (proceeds of $ 486 million, net), plus used $ 114 million of proceeds from the short-term credit facility, to extinguish $ 600 million of our indebtedness under the short-term credit facility. The sale of the Frontdoor common stock resulted in a realized gain of $ 40 million, which was recorded within Realized (gain) on investment in frontdoor, inc. on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30 , 2019. In March 2019, we purchased approximately $ 7 million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.45 % notes maturing in 2027 at a price of 105.5 % and $ 3 million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.25 % notes maturing in 2038 at a price of 99.5 % using available cash. The repurchased notes were delivered to the trustee for cancellation. In connection with these partial repurchases, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 2 million in the six months ended June 30 , 2019. In April 2019, we purchased $ 1 million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.45 % notes maturing in 2027 at a price of 105.5 %. The proceeds from and the use of proceeds in connection with the debt-for-equity exchange are as follows: (in millions) Proceeds from the short-term credit facility $ 600 Proceeds from the Frontdoor common shares retained, net of $ 16 million of fees paid 486 Total proceeds $ 1,086 Repayment of the term loan facility, including loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 4 million $ ( 472 ) Debt-for-equity exchange using net proceeds from the Frontdoor common shares retained ( 486 ) Repurchase of 2027 and 2038 notes, including loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 2 million ( 12 ) Interest and other payments ( 1 ) Use of cash to retire short-term credit facility ( 114 ) Total uses $ ( 1,086 ) In connection with the prepayments on our senior secured term loan facility, we terminated $ 479 million of our interest rate swap agreement, receiving $ 12 million in connection with the terminations. The fair value of the terminated portions of the agreement of $ 12 million is recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position and will be amortized into interest expense over the original term of the agreement. Interest Rate Swaps On November 7, 2016, we entered into a seven year interest rate swap agreement effective November 8, 2016. The notional amount of the agreement was $ 650 million. Under the terms of the agreement, we will pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.493 percent on the $ 650 million notional amount, and we will receive a floating rate of interest (based on one-month LIBOR , subject to a floor of zero percent) on the notional amount. Therefore, during the term on the agreement, the effective interest rate on $ 650 million of the Term Loan Facility is fixed at a rate of 1.493 percent, plus the incremental borrowing margin of 2.50 percent. The changes in our interest rate swap agreement, as well as the cumulative interest rate swap outstanding, are as follows:  Notional (In millions) Amount Fixed Rate (1) Interest rate swap agreement in effect as of December 31, 2018 $ 650 1.493 % Terminated ( 441 ) Interest rate swap agreement in effect as of March 31, 2019 209 1.493 % Terminated ( 38 ) Interest rate swap agreement in effect as of June 30, 2019 $ 171 1.493 % ___________________________________ (1) Before the application of the applicable borrowing margin. In accordance with accounting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and as further described in Note 17, our interest rate swap agreement is classified as a cash flow hedge, and, as such, is recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position as either an asset or liability at fair value, with changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risks recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Note 13. Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, Current portion of lease liability and Long-term lease liability on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net; Current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. We lease a variety of facilities, principally in the United States, for branch and service center operations and for office, storage, customer care centers and data processing space. These leases are classified as operating leases. Our facilities leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 23 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within one year . These lease agreements contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components include items such as common area maintenance. For facility leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Additionally, our Fleet Agreement allows us to obtain fleet vehicles through a leasing program. These leases are classified as finance leases. Our vehicle leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to eight years . For vehicle leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components separately. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments, including fixed non-lease components, over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments and fixed non-lease components is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of June 30, 2019, assets recorded under finance leases were $ 205 million and accumulated depreciation associated with finance leases was $ 114 million. The components of lease expense were as follows: Three months ended Six months ended (In millions) June 30, 2019 June 30, 2019 Finance lease cost Depreciation of finance lease ROU assets $ 8 $ 16 Interest on finance lease liabilities 1 2 Operating lease cost 7 13 Variable lease cost 1 1 Sublease income ( 1 ) ( 1 ) Total lease cost $ 16 $ 32 Supplemental cash flow information and other information for leases was as follows: As of (In millions) June 30, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows for operating leases $ 12 Operating cash flows for finance leases 2 Financing cash flows for finance leases 16 ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases 5 Finance leases 23 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years): Operating leases 10.78 Finance leases 3.73 Weighted Average Discount Rate: Operating leases 5.55 % Finance leases 3.85 % As of June 30, 2019, there was $ 33 million and $ 60 million of finance leases included within Current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt, respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of June 30, 2019 were as follows: (In millions) Operating Leases Finance Leases Year ended December 31, 2019 (excluding the six months ended June 30, 2019) $ 11 $ 18 2020 25 33 2021 20 25 2022 18 14 2023 14 8 Thereafter 95 2 Total future minimum lease payments 184 101 Less imputed interest ( 51 ) ( 7 ) Total $ 133 $ 93 Following is a summary of the future minimum lease payments due under capital and operating leases with terms of more than one year at December 31, 2018: (In millions) Operating Leases Capital Leases Year ended December 31, Less than 1 Yr $ 17 $ 31 1 - 3 Yrs 36 46 3 - 5 Yrs 25 14 More than 5 Yrs 67 1 Total future minimum lease payments $ 146 $ 92 As of June 30, 2019, we have additional vehicle finance leases that have not yet commenced of $ 9 million. These leases are scheduled to commence in 2019 with lease terms generally of five years . Practical Expedients We adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach and applied the transition approach as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We adopted the package of practical expedients and therefore did not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs for all leases. We elected to make the accounting policy election for short-term leases resulting in lease payments being recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for real estate operating leases. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. Impact of ASC 842 on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Changes to the condensed consolidated statements of financial position include the recognition of an operating lease right-of-use asset, a current portion of lease liability and long-term lease liability. Changes to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include the presentation of ROU asset amortization. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Note 14. Acquisitions Acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since their dates of acquisition. Asset acquisitions have been accounted for under ASU 2017-01. The assets and liabilities of these businesses were recorded in the financial statements at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we completed 20 acquisitions, including 19 pest acquisitions and the reacquisition of a ServiceMaster Brands franchisee, which were accounted for as business combinations. We funded $ 119 million at closing for these acquisitions using available cash on hand. Another $ 13 million of deferred purchase price is due to the sellers between one year and five years from the acquisition dates. As a result of these acquisitions, we recorded preliminary values of $ 81 million of goodwill, $ 4 million of tradenames and $ 44 million of customer relationships. As of June 30, 2019, the purchase price allocations for these acquisitions have not been finalized as we are still evaluating working capital balances and the fair value and useful lives of the acquired intangible assets. We expect to complete the purchase price allocations no later than the second quarter of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Copesan and four additional pest control acquisitions which have been accounted for as business combinations and purchased a ServiceMaster Restore master distributor within ServiceMaster Brands which has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASU 2017-01. We funded $ 149 million at closing for these acquisitions using available cash on hand. An additional $ 39 million of deferred purchase price and up to $ 14 million of earnouts contingent on the successful achievement of projected revenue and earnings targets are due to the sellers between one year and five years from the acquisition dates. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $ 1 million was paid related to these earnouts. In connection with these acquisitions, we recorded $ 134 million of goodwill, $ 18 million of tradenames and $ 49 million of other intangibles, primarily customer lists and reacquired rights. As of June 30, 2019, the purchase price allocations for these acquisitions have been finalized. Supplemental cash flow information regarding the acquisitions is as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, (In millions) 2019 2018 Assets acquired $ 138 $ 228 Liabilities assumed (1) ( 6 ) ( 27 ) Net assets acquired $ 132 $ 201 Net cash paid $ 119 $ 149 Seller financed debt 10 39 Contingent earnout 3 12 Purchase price $ 132 $ 201 ___________________________________ (1) Includes $ 12 million of deferred tax liabilities recognized as a result of tax basis differences in intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 15. Income Taxes As required by ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” we compute interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. Our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter in accordance with ASC 740. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 25.9 percent and 32.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily unfavorably impacted by the reflection of American Home Shield as discontinued operations. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 18.6 percent and 31.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was primarily affected by the disposition of the Frontdoor retained shares in a non-taxable debt-for-equity exchange that was recorded discretely in the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $ 15 million of tax benefits primarily reflected in US Federal and state tax returns that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes (“unrecognized tax benefits”). Based on information currently available, it is reasonably possible that over the next 12 month period unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $ 2 million as the result of settlements of ongoing audits, statute of limitation expirations or final settlements of uncertain tax positions in multiple jurisdictions. Our policy is to recognize interest income, interest expense and penalties related to our tax positions within the tax provision.

Business Segment Reporting

Business Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Reporting	Note 16. Business Segment Reporting Our business is conducted through two reportable segments: Terminix and ServiceMaster Brands. In accordance with accounting standards for segments, our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services. The Terminix segment provides termite and pest control services to residential and commercial customers and distributes pest control products primarily under the Terminix, Terminix Commercial and Copesan brand names. The ServiceMaster Brands segment provides residential and commercial disaster restoration and commercial cleaning services through franchises primarily under the ServiceMaster, ServiceMaster Restore and ServiceMaster Clean brand names, home cleaning services through franchises primarily under the Merry Maids brand name, cabinet and furniture repair primarily under the Furniture Medic brand name and home inspection services primarily under the AmeriSpec brand name. Corporate includes certain international investments, our financing subsidiary exclusively dedicated to providing financing to our franchisees and retail customers of our operating units and our headquarters operations (substantially all of which costs are allocated to our reportable segments), which provide various technology, marketing, finance, legal and other support services to the reportable segments. The composition of our reportable segments is consistent with that used by our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Information regarding the accounting policies used by us are described in our 2018 Form 10-K. We derive substantially all of our revenue from customers and franchisees in the United States with approximately three percent generated in foreign markets. Operating expenses of the business units consist primarily of direct costs and indirect costs allocated from Corporate. We use Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA as our measure of segment profitability. Accordingly, the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before: unallocated corporate expenses; costs historically allocated to American Home Shield; (gain) loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; provision for income taxes; interest expense; depreciation and amortization expense; acquisition-related costs; fumigation related matters; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; restructuring charges; loss on extinguishment of debt; and realized (gain) on investment in frontdoor, inc. Our definition of Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be calculated or comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as it facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment, restructuring initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans. Information for continuing operations for each reportable segment and Corporate is presented below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (In millions) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Revenue: Terminix $ 495 $ 456 $ 914 $ 823 ServiceMaster Brands 65 64 128 123 Reportable Segment Revenue $ 560 $ 519 $ 1,041 $ 947 Corporate — — 1 1 Total Revenue $ 560 $ 520 $ 1,042 $ 947 Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA: (1) Terminix $ 106 $ 110 $ 189 $ 196 ServiceMaster Brands 24 24 47 46 Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA $ 130 $ 134 $ 236 $ 243 ___________________________________ (1) Presented below is a reconciliation of Net Income to Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (In millions) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Net Income $ 59 $ 96 $ 129 $ 136 Unallocated corporate expenses ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 4 ) ( 1 ) Costs historically allocated to American Home Shield — 11 — 22 Depreciation and amortization expense 24 23 49 44 Acquisition-related costs 3 1 4 1 Fumigation related matters ( 1 ) — — — Non-cash stock-based compensation expense 4 4 8 8 Restructuring charges 3 — 10 12 Realized (gain) on investment in frontdoor, inc. — — ( 40 ) — (Gain) loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes — ( 56 ) 1 ( 80 ) Provision for income taxes 21 19 30 26 Loss on extinguishment of debt — — 6 — Interest expense 18 37 45 75 Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA $ 130 $ 134 $ 236 $ 243

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 17. Fair Value Measurements The period-end carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The period-end carrying amounts of long-term notes receivable approximate fair value as the effective interest rates for these instruments are comparable to period-end market rates. The period-end carrying amounts of short- and long-term marketable securities also approximate fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in interest and net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The carrying amount of total debt was $ 1,305 million and $ 1,776 million, and the estimated fair value was $ 1,391 million and $ 1,791 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair value of our debt is estimated based on available market prices for the same or similar instruments which are considered significant other observable inputs (Level 2) within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values presented reflect the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value estimates presented in this report are based on information available to us as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the market and income approaches. For investments in marketable securities, deferred compensation trust assets and derivative contracts, which are carried at their fair values, our fair value estimates incorporate quoted market prices, other observable inputs (for example, forward interest rates) and unobservable inputs (for example, forward commodity prices) at the balance sheet date. Interest rate swap contracts are valued using forward interest rate curves obtained from third-party market data providers. The fair value of each contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract interest rate to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between the two rates to the notional amount of debt in the interest rate swap contracts. Fuel swap contracts are valued using forward fuel price curves obtained from third-party market data providers. The fair value of each contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract fuel price to the expected forward fuel price as of each settlement date and applying the difference between the contract and expected prices to the notional gallons in the fuel swap contracts. We regularly review the forward price curves obtained from third-party market data providers and related changes in fair value for reasonableness utilizing information available to us from other published sources. We have not changed our valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the year. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no significant transfers between levels during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented are as follows: Estimated Fair Value Measurements Quoted Significant Prices In Other Significant Active Observable Unobservable Statement of Financial Carrying Markets Inputs Inputs (In millions) Position Location Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) As of June 30, 2019: Financial Assets: Deferred compensation trust Long-term marketable securities $ 13 $ 13 $ — $ — Investments in marketable securities Long-term marketable securities 6 6 — — Interest rate swap contract Prepaid expenses and other assets and Other assets 1 — 1 — Total financial assets $ 20 $ 19 $ 1 $ — As of December 31, 2018: Financial Assets: Deferred compensation trust Long-term marketable securities $ 13 $ 13 $ — $ — Investment in Frontdoor Investment in frontdoor, inc. 445 — 445 — Investments in marketable securities Long-term marketable securities 8 8 — — Interest rate swap contract Other assets 30 — 30 — Total financial assets $ 496 $ 21 $ 475 $ — Financial Liabilities: Fuel swap contracts Other accrued liabilities $ 4 $ — $ — $ 4 Total financial liabilities $ 4 $ — $ — $ 4 A reconciliation of the beginning and ending fair values of financial instruments valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis is presented as follows: Fuel Swap Contract Assets (In millions) (Liabilities) Location of Gain (Loss) included in Earnings Balance as of December 31, 2018 $ ( 4 ) Total (losses) gains (realized and unrealized) Included in earnings — Cost of services rendered and products sold Included in other comprehensive income 3 Settlements — Balance as of June 30, 2019 $ — Balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 3 Total (losses) gains (realized and unrealized) Included in earnings 1 Cost of services rendered and products sold Included in other comprehensive income 1 Settlements ( 1 ) Balance as of June 30, 2018 $ 4 The following tables present information relating to the significant unobservable inputs of our Level 3 financial instruments: Fair Value Valuation Weighted (in millions) Technique Unobservable Input Range Average As of June 30, 2019: Fuel swap contracts $ — Discounted Cash Flows Forward Unleaded Price per Gallon (1) $ 2.36 - $ 2.76 $ 2.57 As of December 31, 2018: Fuel swap contracts $ ( 4 ) Discounted Cash Flows Forward Unleaded Price per Gallon (1) $ 2.09 - $ 2.43 $ 2.26 ___________________________________ (1) Forward prices per gallon were derived from third-party market data providers. A decrease in the forward price would result in a decrease in the fair value of the fuel swap contracts. We use derivative financial instruments to manage risks associated with changes in fuel prices and interest rates. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In designating our derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments under accounting standards for derivative instruments, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. We assess at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the projected changes in cash flows of the associated forecasted transactions. All of our designated hedging instruments are classified as cash flow hedges. We have historically hedged a significant portion of our annual fuel consumption. We have also historically hedged the interest payments on a portion of our variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swap agreements. All of our fuel swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts are classified as cash flow hedges, and, as such, the hedging instruments are recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position as either an asset or liability at fair value, with the effective portion of changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risks recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Cash flows related to fuel and interest rate derivatives are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2019, we had fuel swap contracts to pay fixed prices for fuel with an aggregate notional amount of $ 30 million, maturing through 2020. Under the terms of our fuel swap contracts, we are required to post collateral in the event that the fair value of the contracts exceeds a certain agreed upon liability level and in other circumstances required by the counterparty. As of June 30, 2019, we had posted $ 2 million in letters of credit as collateral under our fuel hedging program, which were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility. The effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement or the fuel settlement affects earnings. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and for the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into earnings. The amount expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months includes unrealized gains and losses related to open fuel hedges and interest rate swaps. Specifically, as the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, the hedging gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in earnings is a gain of $ 3 million, net of tax, as of June 30, 2019 . The amounts that are ultimately reclassified into earnings will be based on actual fuel prices and interest rates at the time the positions are settled and may differ materially from the amount noted above.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Note 18. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potential dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and performance share units are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the amounts included in the computation of basic earnings per share from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (In millions, except per share data) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Income from continuing operations $ 59 $ 40 $ 129 $ 56 Weighted-average common shares outstanding 136.0 135.5 135.9 135.4 Effect of dilutive securities: RSUs 0.3 0.1 0.2 0.1 Stock options (1) 0.3 0.2 0.3 0.2 Weighted-average common shares outstanding—assuming dilution 136.5 135.8 136.4 135.7 Basic earnings per share from continuing operations $ 0.44 $ 0.29 $ 0.95 $ 0.42 Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations $ 0.43 $ 0.29 $ 0.95 $ 0.42 ___________________________________ (1) Options to purchase 0.4 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and 0.5 million and 0.4 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards	Adoption of New Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842) ” (codified within FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842) which is the final standard on accounting for leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11, which amend ASU 2016-02 to provide companies an alternative transition method whereby it may elect to recognize and measure leases by applying the cumulative impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 to the opening retained earnings balance in the period of adoption, thereby removing the requirement that the financial statements of prior periods be restated. We utilized this alternative transition method. While both lessees and lessors are affected by the new guidance, the effects on lessees are much more significant. The most significant change for lessees is the requirement under the new guidance to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases not considered short-term leases. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach to adopt the guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019, and elected the available practical expedients upon adoption. See Note 13 for further discussion of our lease assets and liabilities. The impacts of the adoption of this ASU on our condensed consolidated statements of financial position are as follows: As previously reported, Impact of adopting (In millions) December 31, 2018 ASC 842 January 1, 2019 Operating lease right-of-use assets $ — $ 107 $ 107 Finance lease assets, within Property and equipment, net 89 — 89 Total right-of-use assets $ 89 $ 107 $ 195 Other assets 87 — 86 Total assets $ 5,023 $ 106 $ 5,129 Current portion of long-term lease liability $ — $ 15 $ 15 Long-term lease liability — 120 120 Current finance lease liability, within Current portion of long-term debt 31 — 31 Long-term finance lease liability, within Long-term debt 60 — 60 Total lease liabilities $ 90 $ 135 $ 225 Accrued liabilities, Other 61 ( 1 ) 60 Other long-term obligations, primarily self-insured claims 182 ( 28 ) 155 Total liabilities $ 2,818 $ 106 $ 2,925 In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities .” The ASU simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting and improves disclosures of hedging arrangements through the elimination of the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The ASU generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item in order to align financial reporting of hedging relationships with economic results. Entities must apply the amendments to cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “ Codification Improvements. ” This ASU does not prescribe any new accounting guidance, but instead makes minor improvements and clarifications of several different FASB Accounting Standards Codification areas based on comments and suggestions made by various stakeholders. Certain updates are applicable immediately while others provide for a transition period to adopt as part of the next fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “ Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract .” This ASU requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (i.e., hosting arrangements) to be capitalized under the same premises of authoritative guidance for internal-use software, and deferred over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or for which the exercise is controlled by the service provider. The amendments in ASU 2018-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We early adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019, resulting in the capitalization of certain development costs, primarily related to our implementation of Salesforce to replace legacy operating systems. In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, “ Disclosure Update and Simplification ,” amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018, with relief provided for filings made shortly after the final rule’s effective date in SEC Question 105.09 of the Exchange Act Forms C&DIs. We adopted this final rule on November 5, 2018, and modified our disclosures as necessary, which included the presentation of a condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, “ Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes ,” which amends ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This ASU adds the OIS rate based on SOFR to the list of permissible benchmark rates for hedge accounting purposes. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective	A ccounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ” This ASU requires entities to report “expected” credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model. These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures relating to significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “ Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses .” This ASU does not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13; instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the credit losses standard. This ASU will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “ Fair Value Measurement. ” This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption is permitted until fiscal 2021 for the new disclosures. We are currently evaluating the disclosure changes necessary to our consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.
