MEMPHIS, Tenn. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - November 06, 2018 - ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SERV), a leading provider of termite and pest control, cleaning and restoration services in both the residential and commercial markets, today announced unaudited third-quarter 2018 results.

The results for the American Home Shield segment are included in continuing operations in ServiceMaster’s results reported in this press release. Beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018, the American Home Shield segment, including periods prior to the fourth-quarter of 2018, will be reported in discontinued operations. For further information on the third-quarter performance of American Home Shield, please visit investors.frontdoorhome.com/.

For the third quarter, the company, as a whole, reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 10 percent to $873 million. Third-quarter 2018 net income was $71 million, or $0.52 per share, versus $80 million, or $0.60 per share, in the same period in 2017. Third-quarter 2018 Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $191 million, a year-over-year decrease of $9 million and adjusted net income(2) was $91 million, or $0.67 per share versus $99 million, or $0.73 per share, for the same period in 2017.

Excluding the American Home Shield segment, revenue in the third quarter increased 10 percent to $496 million and Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $1 million to $105 million year-over-year.

“We are pleased to see our transformation efforts begin to show up in Terminix growth, with 7.8 percent organic growth in residential pest and 2.6 percent overall organic Terminix revenue growth,” said ServiceMaster Chief Executive Officer Nik Varty. “The residential pest transformation began last October with a focus on enhancing the customer experience and driving operational improvements in start rates, completion rates and customer engagement. We still have significantly more to do in terms of improving the 50,000 customer experiences we deliver every day, which will ultimately drive improvements in our customer retention rates. As promised, we continue to invest with discipline in technology, talent, training, marketing and the ability of our field operations to better serve our customers. We have also now expanded the focus of our transformation efforts on our termite and commercial pest service lines. We have successfully integrated our Terminix Commercial national accounts with Copesan, and we continue to leverage their service and delivery capabilities as we expand our presence in this important market segment to enable future growth. Our restoration and cleaning businesses continue to drive growth, with strong gains in commercial disaster and fire restoration programs at ServiceMaster Restore and 15 percent growth in janitorial national accounts at ServiceMaster Clean. We continue to explore opportunities to expand our brands in markets that are showing high growth profiles such as healthcare cleaning and national accounts.”

“I would also like to recognize the hard work of many in the successful and timely completion of the spin-off of the American Home Shield business.”

Reconciliations of net income to adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations to free cash flow, are set forth below in this press release.

Terminix

Terminix reported a 10.3 percent year-over-year revenue increase in the third quarter of 2018, reflecting an increase in residential pest control services and the acquisition of Copesan on March 30, 2018. Terminix achieved organic revenue growth of 2.6 percent in the third quarter, including 7.8 percent organic growth in residential pest control. When normalized for the prior year hurricane and the one-time bait monitoring station conversion impact, organic revenue would have been 2.3 percent. Strong organic residential pest revenue growth was driven by operational improvements in completion rate, start rate, and new unit sales as a result of continued progress in the Terminix transformation. Organic revenue growth remains on track to range between 1 and 2 percent for the full year.

Although Terminix posted over 10 percent revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2 million, or 3 percent, largely the result of our continuing efforts to drive consistently strong long-term growth. We increased selling and marketing expenses, which drove higher new sales in the quarter. Additionally, we continue to invest heavily in upgrading our service model that will ultimately drive higher customer retention and consistently strong growth. The Company continues to see opportunities to invest in the business to drive future growth, and adjusted EBITDA margins remain on pace to be relatively flat for the full year, excluding acquisition impact and the spin related dis-synergies.

Franchise Services Group

The Franchise Services Group reported an 8.6 percent year-over-year revenue increase in the third quarter of 2018 driven by 15 percent growth in janitorial national accounts sales, as well as the recognition of $4 million of national advertising fund franchisee contributions pursuant to our adoption of a new accounting rule regarding revenue recognition that took effect on January 1, 2018. Prior to 2018, contributions to the national advertising fund made by our franchisees were treated as an offset to advertising expense. The adoption of this accounting standards change increased revenue by $4 million but had no impact on Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3 percent, or $1 million, versus prior year, reflecting the pass through of a decrease in high margin royalty fees due to the positive impact of hurricane events in 2017 offset, in part, by an increase in lower margin janitorial national accounts. When normalized for hurricane impact in the third-quarter of 2017 and the national advertising fund accounting rule change, revenue growth would have been 4 percent and Adjusted EBITDA would have been up 2 percent year-over-year in the third quarter.

Corporate

Corporate reported a $4 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA when compared to the third quarter of the prior year. This increase is primarily related to favorable claims trends in our automobile, general liability, and workers’ compensation program. The favorable claim trends are attributable to operational improvements in claims management.

American Home Shield Spin-Off

On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the previously announced spin-off of its American Home Shield segment resulting in the spin-off of approximately $1 billion in debt and $251 million in cash and marketable securities and various other assets and liabilities of the businesses. The separation was effectuated through a prorate dividend (the “Distribution”) to the company’s stockholders of approximately 80.2 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of frontdoor, inc. (“Frontdoor”), which was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the company to hold its American Home Shield segment. As a result of the Distribution, Frontdoor is an independent public company that trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “FTDR”.

The Distribution was made to the Company’s 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. The Company distributed 67,781,527 shares of common stock of Frontdoor in the Distribution and retained 16,734,092 shares, or approximately 19.8 percent of the common stock of Frontdoor immediately following the Distribution. The Company currently intends to responsibly dispose of all of the Frontdoor common stock by June 14, 2019 to further reduce debt.

The American Home Shield segment is reported in this press release in continuing operations. Beginning with the Company’s fourth-quarter and full-year press release for the year ending December 31, 2018, the American Home Shield segment will be reported in discontinued operations.

In connection with the Distribution, on September 28, 2018, the Company and Frontdoor entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that govern the relationships between the parties following the Distribution, including a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement and an employee matters agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between ServiceMaster and Frontdoor of assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Distribution and govern certain relationships between the Company and Frontdoor after the Distribution.

Cash Flow

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations increased to $365 million from $340 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a seven percent year-over-year increase. The increase was driven by lower cash taxes resulting from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, partially offset by one-time spending related to the AHS spin.

Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations was $198 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Net cash used for investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, included $160 million of payments for Copesan and other acquisitions, net of cash acquired.

Net cash used for financing activities from continuing operations was $119 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $136 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we used $79 million to repay our matured 2018 Notes, as well as $982 million to repay a portion of our outstanding term loan debt as a part of the American Home Shield spin. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used $85 million to purchase 2.2 million shares of company stock.

Free cash flow(3) was $313 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $293 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Free cash flow(3) to Adjusted EBITDA(1) conversion was 58 percent for the nine months ended on September 30, 2018.

Full-Year 2018 Outlook

The company now expects full-year 2018 revenue to range from $1,885 million to $1,900 million, or an increase of seven to nine percent compared to 2017. The increase in revenue since the previously provided outlook primarily reflects improved performance of Terminix acquisitions. Organic revenue growth at Terminix remains on track to range between 1 and 2 percent for the full year.

Full-year 2018 Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to remain in the range of $425 million to $435 million, or an increase of two percent to four percent compared to 2017. Full-year 2018 Adjusted EBITDA guidance includes spin related dis-synergies. Adjusted EBITDA margins at Terminix remain on pace to be relatively flat for the full year, excluding acquisition impact and spin related dis-synergies.

A reconciliation of the forward-looking 2018 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income is not being provided as the company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.

Residential pest control revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased 11 percent compared to prior year, primarily resulting from an increase in volume driven by operational improvements as well as the impact of acquisitions completed during the year.

Commercial pest control revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased 37 percent compared to prior year, primarily driven by the impact of the Copesan acquisition.

Termite revenue, including wildlife exclusion, crawl space encapsulation and attic insulation, which are managed as a component of our termite line of business, decreased one percent compared to prior year, reflecting a decline in core termite renewals driven by the decreasing benefit from an initiative to upgrade bait monitoring stations for a small subset of our customers in 2017, offset by increases in core termite, wildlife exclusion and attic insulation. In the three months ended September 30, 2018, termite renewal revenue comprised 47 percent of total termite revenue, while the remainder consisted of termite new unit revenue. Termite activity is unpredictable in its nature. Factors that can impact termite activity include conducive weather conditions and consumer awareness of termite swarms.
