"ABM's fourth quarter and full year results were in line with our expectations, despite higher insurance expense.

"Looking ahead, we are excited about our 2020 Vision that will position the company to deliver value-added solutions, establish clear competitive differentiation, enable deep client penetration, and drive long-term, profitable growth."

 

   

 

  

Fourth Quarter Results

 

Company revenues increased 6.0% to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014, due to organic growth of 3.7% and contributions from acquisitions

 

Building & Energy Solutions segment revenues increased 23.6% to $167.7 million, compared to $135.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, with technical services (ABES) contributing growth of 16.3%. Organic revenue growth for the segment overall increased 13.9%

 

Air Serv (Other segment) revenues increased 15.6% to $114.6 million, compared to $99.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, due to strong sales in our U.S. operations

 

The Janitorial segment revenues increased 3.4% to $688.7 million, compared to $666.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, and grew organically by $8.1 million primarily due to strong Work Order (TAG) revenue that was 16.3% higher, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.8% to $69.4 million, compared to $58.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Our focus on continued margin improvement and the growth in our technical services contracts improved the Company's overall contract mix compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, the Company benefited from one less working day in the quarter, which reduced labor expense by approximately $4 million before taxes

 

Adjusted income from continued operations per diluted share increased 17.0% to $0.55, compared to $0.47 in the fourth quarter of 2014

 

Net income per diluted share was up 38.8% to $0.68 in the fourth quarter, compared to $0.49 in the fourth quarter of 2014; 2015 includes the gain from the sale of Security

 

Fiscal 2015 Highlights

 

2015 revenues increased 5.3% to $4.9 billion, compared to fiscal 2014, with 2.9% organic growth

 

2015 net cash provided by continuing operating activities increased 25.5%, compared to fiscal 2014

 

$131 million in proceeds from the sale of ABM Security; a net gain of $14.4 million recorded in income from discontinued operations

 

Launched our 2020 Vision transformation initiative

 

Returned $67.4 million to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases

 

   

 

 

Fiscal 2015 Results 

  

The Company reported revenues of $4.9 billion for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, a 5.3% increase compared to fiscal 2014 revenues of $4.6 billion, as a result of organic growth of 2.9% and contributions from acquisitions.

 

Adjusted income from continuing operations reported was $92.9 million or $1.62 per diluted share for fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, compared to $80.2 million or $1.41 per diluted share for fiscal 2014, which was primarily driven by contributions from top line growth, the benefit of one less working day, and discrete tax items of $0.21 per diluted share. Offsetting some of the increase was SG&A payroll, as the Company has invested in our Sales and Safety personnel, and higher insurance expense.

 

The Company's financial results and reporting take into account the sale of the Security Business, which is now shown as discontinued operations. Adjusted income per diluted share including the Security Business for fiscal 2015 would have been $1.81, which is $0.01 above the range previously provided. This was primarily due to several year-end bonus adjustments related to certain incentive plans.

 

Liquidity and Capital Structure

 

During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 403,181 shares of common stock for a total expenditure of approximately $11 million, leaving $189 million available for future share repurchases under our $200 million share repurchase program.

 

Borrowing under the credit facility was $158 million, down $147 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2015 primarily as a result of selling the ABM Security Business for $131 million.

 

"The Company's strong performance and improved cash flow of $144 million for the fiscal year continues to position us well to deliver shareholder value through a disciplined capital allocation framework, which includes the payment of cash dividends, share repurchases and other, focused investments for growth," said Anthony Scaglione, executive vice president and chief financial officer.

 

Dividend

 

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors approved a 3.1% increase for the quarterly cash dividend to $0.165 per common share, payable on February 1, 2016 to stockholders of record on January 7, 2016. This marks ABM’s 199th consecutive quarterly cash dividend.

 

Guidance

 

For fiscal 2016, the Company expects adjusted income from continuing operations of $1.30 to $1.40 per diluted share and income from continuing operations of $0.82 to $0.92 per diluted share. This guidance excludes any potential benefits associated with certain discrete tax items, which could be up to $0.40 per diluted share that would impact our effective tax rate, such as the 2015 and 2016 Work Opportunity Tax Credits and other unrecognized tax benefits.

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 fourth quarter and twelve months of fiscal years 2015 and 2014. 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 income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding items impacting comparability (adjusted EBITDA) for the fourth quarter and twelve months of fiscal years 2015 and 2014. 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 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.)
