This release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures described as “Adjusted EBITDA” defined as earnings before income from discontinued operations, net of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding items impacting comparability, "Adjusted EBITDA margin", “Adjusted income from continuing operations,” and “Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share”. These adjustments have been made with the intent of providing financial measures that give management and investors a more representative understanding of underlying operational results and trends as well as the Company’s operational performance. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Please refer to the accompanying financial schedules for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to certain GAAP financial measures. We round amounts in these schedules to millions and 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.

Third Quarter Summary
| • | Record total revenue of $1,624.3 million, reflecting growth of 23.2%. |
| • | Revenue related to the 2017 acquisition of GCA Services Group ("GCA") of $260.0 million, predominantly reflected in the Education, Technology & Manufacturing, and Business & Industry segments. |
| • | Organic revenue growth of 4.5% primarily driven by growth within the Business & Industry segment, which includes a large UK-related contract win from September 2017. |
| • | Strong Technical Solutions organic revenue growth of 14.0%, which drove greater operating leverage. |
| • | Aviation operating results for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 reflect the absence of a specific, unprofitable contract, which was terminated and disclosed during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. |
| • | Income from continuing operations of $33.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, was impacted by higher amortization, interest expense and higher share count related to the GCA acquisition. |
| • | Adjusted income from continuing operations of $38.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, resulting in an 11.8% increase versus last year. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA increased 54.3% to $88.4 million compared to $57.3 million, reflecting the Company's GCA acquisition in 2017. These results led to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.4% versus 4.3% last year. |
| • | Net cash provided by continuing operating activities increased to $74.2 million for the quarter, reflecting better working capital management and the contribution from GCA. |
| • | Overall results reflect the absence of Government Services, which was sold on May 31, 2017. |
Third Quarter Results
For the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company achieved record revenues of approximately $1.6 billion driven by the acquisition of GCA, and organic growth of 4.5% primarily within the Business & Industry segment, Technical Solutions and Technology & Manufacturing segments. Organic growth was partially offset by the Aviation segment. The GCA acquisition provided $260.0 million of incremental revenues, which is predominantly reflected in the Education, Technology & Manufacturing, and Business & Industry segments in the amounts of $143.5 million, $59.6 million, and $45.3 million, respectively.
On a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations was $33.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $32.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share last year. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 reflected favorable items impacting comparability driven by expiring statutes of limitations for certain tax positions.
Adjusted income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2018 was $38.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $29.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. Adjusted results exclude items impacting comparability. A description of items impacting comparability can be found in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table.

Total income from continuing operations for the quarter on both a GAAP and adjusted basis reflects revenue contribution due to the Company's overall growth, as well as the benefit of a reduced overall corporate tax rate as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. These results were partially offset by GCA acquisition-related expenses, namely amortization and interest. Additionally, the impact of higher wage and overtime costs impacted the Company, although some of these costs were partially mitigated by the execution of planned cost control measures.
Weighted average shares outstanding on a diluted basis for the quarter were 66.3 million, an increase of approximately 10 million shares, primarily due to the GCA transaction.
Net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $33.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to net income of $32.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $88.4 million compared to $57.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily as a result of the GCA acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 5.4% versus 4.3% last year. Adjusted results exclude items impacting comparability. A description of items impacting comparability can be found in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table.
Mr. Salmirs continued, "At this time, we continue to experience the impact from a tighter labor market and we do not expect to see a material change in this trend in the current macroeconomic environment. Our teams have been implementing mitigation plans, including intensified labor management and cost containment. Concurrently, we are executing on key process and IT initiatives that will enable us to run our business with more agility and efficiency over the long term."
Liquidity & Capital Structure
The Company ended the quarter with total debt, including standby letters of credit, of $1.2 billion.
Total debt to proforma adjusted EBITDA was approximately 3.65x, reflecting the Company's focus on free cash flow conversion as well as its continued reduction of leverage to more historical levels by fiscal 2020.
In addition, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per common share for a total distribution of $11.5 million.
Declaration of Quarterly Cash Dividend
The Company also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.175 per common share payable on November 5, 2018 to shareholders of record on October 4, 2018. This will be the Company's 210th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.
Guidance
The Company is reaffirming its outlook for fiscal 2018. The Company continues to expect GAAP income from continuing operations of $1.73 to $1.83 per diluted share. Excluding items impacting comparability, adjusted income from continuing operations remains in the range of $1.85 to $1.95 per diluted share for the 2018 fiscal year. The Company's guidance only includes the discrete tax items related to the 2018 Work Opportunity Tax Credits and anticipated excess tax benefits on stock-based awards.

Mr. Salmirs concluded, "Our ability to reiterate our guidance outlook for the year despite the current labor pressures we are facing demonstrates the strength of our teams as we focused on the operating levers within our control to drive results. We have also been working diligently to advance several key technology implementations that will be launching over the next six to twelve months. They are focused on several important areas, including human capital management and time and attendance, where it is crucial to be best-in-class given the near term labor environment. We will also be converging and upgrading our ERP systems. Our track record of execution, in addition to the process improvements from these new tools, will further strengthen our scale, and ensure our formidable position as a market leader."

Cautionary Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This press release contains both historical and forward-looking statements regarding 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. Particular risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed in our forward-looking statements include: (1) we may not realize the growth opportunities and cost synergies that are anticipated from the acquisition of GCA Services Group (“GCA”); (2) we have incurred a substantial amount of debt to complete the acquisition of GCA. To service our debt we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control. We also depend on the profitability of our subsidiaries to satisfy our cash needs. If we cannot generate the required cash, we may not be able to make the necessary payments required to service our indebtedness or we may be required to suspend certain discretionary payments, including our dividend; (3) changes to our businesses, operating structure, financial reporting structure, or personnel relating to the implementation of our 2020 Vision strategic transformation initiative, including our move to our Enterprise Services Center, may not have the desired effects on our financial condition and results of operations; (4) our success depends on our ability to gain profitable business despite competitive pressures and to preserve long-term client relationships; (5) our business success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and senior management; (6) our use of subcontractors or joint venture partners to perform work under customer contracts exposes us to liability and financial risk; (7) 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; (8) unfavorable developments in our class and representative actions and other lawsuits alleging various claims could cause us to incur substantial liabilities; (9) we insure our insurable risks through a combination of insurance 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 of ultimate insurance losses could result in a material charge against our earnings; (10) our risk management and safety programs may not have the intended effect of reducing our liability for personal injury or property loss; (11) impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations; (12) changes in general economic conditions, including changes in energy prices, government regulations, or changing consumer preferences, could reduce the demand for facility services and, as a result, reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition; (13) our income tax provision and income tax liabilities could be adversely affected by the jurisdictional mix of earnings, changes in valuations of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax treaties, laws, and regulations, including the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which effected significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system; (14) we could be subject to cyber-security risks, information technology interruptions, and business continuity risks; (15) a significant number of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements that could expose us to potential liabilities in relationship 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; (16) 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 investors’ perceptions of our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock; (17) our business may be negatively impacted by adverse weather conditions; (18) catastrophic events, disasters, and terrorist attacks could disrupt our services; and (19) actions of activist investors could disrupt our business. The list of factors above is illustrative and by no means exhaustive. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties we face is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2017 and in other reports we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including all amendments to those reports). 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.

(a) The Company adjusts income from continuing operations 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 income from continuing operations is useful to investors by enabling them to better assess our operating performance in the context of current year profitability. For the three months ended July 31, 2018, our self-insurance general liability, workers’ compensation and automobile insurance claims related to prior period accident years was increased by $5.9 million.
(c) FY17 represents reimbursement of previously expensed legal and other costs incurred in connection with an internal investigation into a foreign entity affiliated with a former joint venture partner.
(d) The QTD and YTD FY18 period represents restructuring costs related to the GCA acquisition in September 2017; The QTD and YTD FY17 amount presents costs for the Company's 2020 Vision Transformation Initiative, net of the reversal of certain share-based compensation costs.
(e) The Company's tax impact is calculated using the federal and state statutory rate of 29.8% for FY18, and 41.5% for FY17, respectively. The tax impact of the impairment recovery and loss on sale related to the Company’s Government Services business was calculated using a 39.0% tax rate for all periods presented. We calculate tax from the underlying whole-dollar amounts, as a result, certain amounts may not recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.
(f)The QTD FY18 includes $3.6M related to the expiring statute of limitations. YTD FY18 includes $3.6M related to the expiring statute of limitations and $21.5M related to the enactment of the Tax Act. The QTD FY17 and YTD FY17 includes a tax benefit of $14.6M related to expiring statute of limitations.
(g) Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest income for certain long term energy contracts, in which case a gross up of both interest income and interest expense is being recorded.
