NEW YORK, June 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ABM (NYSE:ABM), a leading provider of facility solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

"Our team's focus on delivering exceptional service, controlling costs, and passing through price increases was key to generating our second quarter results," said Scott Salmirs, ABM's President & Chief Executive Officer. "Our revenue growth was driven by the RavenVolt acquisition, and also derived from our diversified end-markets, including favorable market dynamics in Aviation, Education and Manufacturing & Distribution."

Mr. Salmirs continued, "We remain on target to achieve our 2023 financial goals, despite a more challenging than anticipated macro-environment, including a soft commercial real estate market. I am proud that our results are well above pre-pandemic levels, reflecting our resilient business model, improved operational efficiency and a more dynamic service mix, all of which we believe will be enhanced over time through our ELEVATE initiatives. As we move forward, I am confident that our team will continue to drive growth, execute on our strategy and build value for our shareholders as we work tirelessly to achieve our longer-term goals."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results

For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company reported revenue of $2.0 billion, up 4.5% over the prior year period, comprised of 2.3% organic growth, including $12.6 million of revenue recognized from parking project work completed in prior periods, and 2.2% growth from acquisitions. In all, revenue growth consisted of 22% organic growth in Aviation, driven by healthy travel markets and the parking project. Education organic revenue grew 6% on the strength of new accounts which came online late last year, and Manufacturing & Distribution grew 5% organically, driven by gains in the eCommerce, logistics and semiconductor markets. Technical Solutions ("ATS") revenue increased 15%, reflecting the RavenVolt acquisition. On an organic basis, ATS revenue declined 6% primarily due to the timing of large projects in our backlog and program rollouts. Business & Industry ("B&I") revenue declined 1% in total, comprised of acquisition growth of 1%, offset by a 2% decline in organic growth. The decline in B&I organic growth was primarily due to less work orders, partially offset by price increases.

GAAP net income increased to $51.9 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, as compared to $48.8 million, or $0.72 per diluted share last year, reflecting increases of 6.5% and 8.3%, respectively. These increases were primarily due to higher Aviation segment income, and the benefits of cost controls and price increases, partially offset by higher interest expense, a decrease in higher-margin virus protection services and work orders, and higher direct and indirect costs, primarily for labor. Net income margin was 2.6% compared to 2.6% last year.

Adjusted net income was $60.2 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to $60.2 million, or $0.89 per diluted share recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted results exclude items impacting comparability. A description of items impacting comparability can be found in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter increased 15.2% to $137.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter improved to 7.2% versus 6.5% last year. The increases in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin reflect the benefit of earnings attributable to the parking project, as well as cost controls and price increases, partially offset by changes in service mix and higher labor costs. Adjusted results exclude items impacting comparability. A description of items impacting comparability can be found in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table.

Strategic Update

During the second quarter, the Company continued to advance on its ELEVATE technology roadmap, including the initial deployment of its cloud-based enterprise resource planning system ("ERP") and related boundary applications in its Education segment. The Company also extended the reach of its workforce productivity and optimization tool, which provides its operations teams with advanced analytics into productivity levels across their portfolios.

After the quarter closed, the Company announced its plan to build an Electrification Center near Atlanta, GA, which will support ABM's position as a leader in electrification infrastructure turn-key solutions. The planned facility will house multiple solutions serving the eMobility, power resiliency and electrification sectors.

Liquidity & Capital Structure

The Company ended the quarter with total debt of $1,453.0 million, including $58.6 million in standby letters of credit, resulting in a total leverage ratio, as defined by the Company's credit facility of 2.6x. The Company had available liquidity of approximately $503.2 million, inclusive of cash and cash equivalents of $71.2 million.

Declaration of Quarterly Cash Dividend

The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.22 per common share payable on August 7, 2023 to shareholders of record on July 6, 2023. This will be the Company's 229^th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

Fiscal 2023 Outlook

For full fiscal year 2023, the Company now expects GAAP EPS to be in the range of $2.52 to $2.72, compared to $2.43 to $2.63 previously. This revised outlook reflects a $0.09 EPS benefit from changes in items impacting comparability, primarily related to the fair value of contingent consideration. Excluding these items, the Company is reaffirming its prior outlook for adjusted EPS of $3.40 to $3.60. Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be in the range of 6.5% to 6.8%, reflecting a ten basis point increase at the low-end of the prior forecast, and interest expense is now expected to be approximately $80 million, roughly $6 million higher than the high-end of the Company's previous forecast.

Cautionary Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This press release contains both historical and forward-looking statements about ABM Industries Incorporated ("ABM") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "ABM," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company"). We make forward-looking statements related to future expectations, estimates and projections that are uncertain, and often contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "likely," "may," "outlook," "plan," "predict," "should," "target," or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. For us, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed in our forward-looking statements include: our success depends on our ability to gain profitable business despite competitive market pressures; our results of operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases; we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel and senior management we need to support our business; investments in and changes to our businesses, operating structure, financial reporting structure, or personnel relating to our ELEVATE strategy, including the implementation of strategic transformations, enhanced business processes, and technology initiatives may not have the desired effects on our financial condition and results of operations; our ability to preserve long-term client relationships is essential to our continued success; our use of subcontractors or joint venture partners to perform work under customer contracts exposes us to liability and financial risk; our international business involves risks different from those we face in the United States that could have an effect on our results of operations and financial condition; negative changes in general economic conditions, such as recessionary pressures, durable and non-durable goods pricing, changes in energy prices, or changes in consumer goods pricing, as well as potential declines in our clients' office spaces, could reduce the demand for facility services and, as a result, reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition; acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions could fail to achieve financial or strategic objectives, disrupt our ongoing business, and adversely impact our results of operations; we may experience breaches of, or disruptions to, our information technology systems or those of our third-party providers or clients, or other compromises of our data that could adversely affect our business; we manage our insurable risks through a combination of third-party purchased policies and self-insurance, and we retain a substantial portion of the risk associated with expected losses under these programs, which exposes us to volatility associated with those risks, including the possibility that changes in estimates to our ultimate insurance loss reserves could result in material charges against our earnings; our risk management and safety programs may not have the intended effect of reducing our liability for personal injury or property loss; unfavorable developments in our class and representative actions and other lawsuits alleging various claims could cause us to incur substantial liabilities; we are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, which could limit our profitability by increasing the costs of legal and regulatory compliance; a significant number of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements that could expose us to potential liabilities in relation to our participation in multiemployer pension plans, requirements to make contributions to other benefit plans, and the potential for strikes, work slowdowns or similar activities, and union organizing drives; our business may be materially affected by changes to fiscal and tax policies; negative or unexpected tax consequences could adversely affect our results of operations; future increases in the level of our borrowings or in interest rates could affect our results of operations; impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations; if we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be negatively impacted, which could harm our operating results and investor perceptions of our Company and as a result may have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock; our business may be negatively impacted by adverse weather conditions; catastrophic events, disasters, pandemics, and terrorist attacks could disrupt our services; actions of activist investors could disrupt our business; and ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our liquidity, capital resources, supply chain, operations and revenue. For additional information on these and other risks and uncertainties we face, see ABM's risk factors, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. We urge readers to consider these risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement ABM's consolidated financial information, the Company has presented net income and net income per diluted share as adjusted for items impacting comparability for the second quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022. 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 operational performance. In addition, the Company has presented earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excluding items impacting comparability (adjusted EBITDA) for the second quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022. Adjusted EBITDA is among the indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue excluding management reimbursement. We cannot provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. The Company has also presented Free Cash Flow which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)

We round amounts to millions but calculate all percentages and per-share data from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. As a result, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot, or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding. Unless otherwise noted, all references to years are to our fiscal year, which ends on October 31.

^(a)		The Company adjusts income to exclude the impact of certain items that are unusual, non-recurring, or otherwise do not reflect management's views of the underlying operational results and trends of the Company.

^(b)		Represents the net adjustments to our self-insurance reserve for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile and medical and dental insurance claims related to prior period accident years. Management believes these prior period reserve changes do not illustrate the performance of the Company's normal ongoing operations given the current year's insurance expense is estimated by management in conjunction with the Company's outside actuary to take into consideration past history and current costs and regulatory trends. Once the Company develops its best estimate of insurance expense premiums for the year, the Company fully allocates such costs out to the business leaders to hold them accountable for the current year costs within operations. However, since these prior period reserve changes relate to claims that could date back many years, current management has limited ability to influence the ultimate development of the prior year changes. Accordingly, including the prior period reserve changes in the Company's current operational results would not depict how the business is run as the Company holds its management accountable for the current year's operational performance. The Company believes the exclusion of the self-insurance adjustment from net income is useful to investors by enabling them to better assess our operating performance in the context of current year profitability. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2023, our self-insured medical and dental insurance claims related to prior period increased by $3.5 million. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2022, our self-insurance general liability, workers' compensation, and automobile insurance claims related to prior period accident years decreased by $3.5 million and $28.7 million respectively.

^(c)		Represents acquisition and integration related costs primarily associated with Able acquisition.

^(d)		Represents discrete transformational costs that primarily consists of general and administrative costs for developing technological needs and alternatives, project management, testing, training and data conversion, consulting and professional fees for i) new enterprise resource planning system, ii) client facing technology, iii) workforce management tools and iv) data analytics. These costs are not expected to recur beyond the deployment of these initiatives.

^(e)		Represents a $7.7 million gain on the sale of certain healthcare customer contracts.

^(f)		Represents an adjustment to the estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the RavenVolt acquisition.

^(g)		The Company's tax impact is calculated using the federal and state statutory rate of 28.11% for FY2023 and FY 2022. We calculate tax from the underlying whole-dollar amounts, as a result, certain amounts may not recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.

^(h)		The three and six months ended April 30, 2023, include the tax impact of non-taxable change in the fair value of contingent consideration related to RavenVolt. The six months ended April 30, 2022, includes a tax benefit of $3.6M related to the expiring statute of limitations.

⁽ⁱ⁾		The three and six months ended April 30, 2022, include a $143.8 million payment made for the Bucio settlement. The six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, include a $66 million payment for deferred payroll taxes under the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act").
