New York, NY – Mar. 5, 2012 – ABM (NYSE:ABM), a leading provider of integrated facility solutions, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2012 first quarter that ended January 31, 2012. The Company reported that revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 reached $1.07 billion, a 4.3% increase compared to first quarter of fiscal year 2011 revenues of $1.03 billion, driven primarily by revenues associated with the acquisition of the former Linc Group. Net income and income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2012 increased 26.7% to $10.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the 2011 first quarter. Net income benefitted from a reduction in transaction costs and sustained improvement in historical credits on client receivables partially offset by higher payroll-related expenses. Net cash flow from continuing operations for the first quarter increased to $11.8 million compared to $0.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted income from continuing operations for the fiscal 2012 first quarter was essentially flat at $11.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusted EBITDA in the 2012 first quarter was $35.9 million compared to $35.7 million one year ago.
First Quarter Results and Impacts
“Our financial results for the quarter were in line with our expectations and consistent with last year,” ABM’s president and chief executive officer Henrik Slipsager said. “Facility Solutions (combined Linc and ABM Engineering operations) and Security generated year-over year increases in revenues, combined with essentially flat sales for Parking and Janitorial. Janitorial achieved slight growth from sustained improvement in billing processes and cost control measures partially offset by higher state unemployment insurance expense. Margins in Facility Solutions were lower than last year, primarily as a result of the comparative mix and timing of government projects. Total expenses as a percentage of revenues held steady as gross margins remained essentially flat year-over-year.”
James Lusk, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added: “The Company benefitted from investments we have made in improved infrastructure, operations and end-to-end processes as well as gains from prior tax-related investments. We were pleased with the strength of our net cash flow from continuing operations, which increased by $11.5 million compared to the year-ago quarter.”
Operations Review
Operating profit increased to $17.8 million pre-tax in the 2012 first quarter compared to $16.9 million pre-tax in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Operating profit in the first quarter of 2012 included a $2.9 million pre-tax increase in payroll-related expenses associated with higher federal and state unemployment insurance rates partially offset by a $2.7 million pre-tax benefit related to sustained improvement in historical credits on client receivables.
Slipsager said: “Our operations are achieving success with our vertical market strategies to grow business – as we closed more than $100 million in new contracts during the first quarter alone. We continue to benefit from the acquisition and integration of the former Linc business, particularly in the Energy sector, where we see increasing client demand, growth opportunity and new business. We enhanced our capabilities by focusing ABM Energy on implementing energy technologies designed to reduce clients’ energy consumption and operating costs while meeting the growing demand within the green and sustainable building market. Further, our industry-leading green cleaning capabilities played a part in helping us secure a global partnership with AEG, a world leader in sports and entertainment that is committed to environmentally safe products and services. The global partnership will expand the facility cleaning services we already provide to a number of marquee AEG venues. Underpinning these vertical market strategies, we also recently launched a new ABM brand that we will begin implementing globally. The new brand captures and conveys the breadth of services we now offer our clients. Many of these capabilities are on display on our rebranded website – where our clients, employees and others can connect to our new, interactive “Metropolis.” These strategies and initiatives will help us firmly establish our position as a leader in delivering integrated facilities solutions to our clients across multiple industries and geographies.”
Dividend
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a second quarter cash dividend of $0.145 per common share payable on May 7, 2012 to stockholders of record on April 5, 2012. This will be ABM’s 184th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.
Guidance
The Company reaffirms that full fiscal year 2012 income from continuing operations per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $1.26 to $1.36 and adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share, for the same period, is expected to be in the range of $1.40 to $1.50. Fiscal year 2012 will have one extra day compared to fiscal 2011, which will occur in the third quarter, and is expected to negatively impact earnings per diluted share by $0.04 to $0.05. In addition, the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2012 is expected to be in the range of 39% to 42%, compared to 35% in fiscal year 2011.

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. These factors include but are not limited to the following: (1) we may not be able to achieve anticipated global growth due to various factors, including, but not limited to, an inability to make strategic acquisitions or compete internationally; our acquisition strategy may adversely impact our results of operations as we may not be able to achieve anticipated results from any given acquisition; and activities relating to integrating an acquired business may divert management’s focus on operational matters; (2) we are subject to intense competition that can constrain our ability to gain business, as well as our profitability; (3) any increases in costs that we cannot pass on to clients could affect our profitability; (4) we have high deductibles for certain insurable risks and, therefore, are subject to volatility associated with those risks; (5) we primarily 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) our international business exposes us to additional risks, including risks related to compliance with both U.S. and foreign laws; (8) we conduct some of our operations through joint ventures and our ability to do business may be affected by the failure of our joint venture partners to perform their obligations or the improper
conduct of employees, joint venture partners or agents; (9) significant delays or reductions in appropriations for our government contracts may negatively affect our business, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; (10) we incur significant accounting and other control costs that reduce profitability; (11) a decline in commercial office building occupancy and rental rates could affect our revenues and profitability; (12) deterioration in economic conditions in general could further reduce the demand for facility services and, as a result, could reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition; (13) financial difficulties or bankruptcy of one or more of our major clients could adversely affect our results; (14) our ability to operate and pay our debt obligations depends upon our access to cash; (15) future declines in the fair value of our investments in auction rate securities could negatively impact our earnings; (16) uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our costs of borrowing, our ability to collect receivables on a timely basis and 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 a number of class and representative actions or other lawsuits alleging various claims that could cause us to incur substantial liabilities; (20) federal health care reform legislation may adversely affect our business and results of operations; (21) changes in immigration laws or enforcement actions or investigations under such laws could significantly adversely affect our labor force, operations and financial results; (22) labor disputes could lead to loss of revenues or expense variations; (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 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, 2011 and in other reports the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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 first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011. The Company also presents guidance for fiscal year 2012, as adjusted. 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 discontinued operations and items impacting comparability (adjusted EBITDA) for the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011. 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.
