MEMPHIS, Tenn. - July 31, 2017 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SERV), a leading provider of essential residential and commercial services, today announced unaudited second-quarter 2017 results. The company reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 8 percent driven primarily by organic growth at American Home Shield (“AHS”) and the impact of acquiring OneGuard Home Warranties (“OneGuard”) in June 2016 and Landmark Home Warranty (“Landmark”) in November 2016, as well as nearly 3 percent organic growth at Terminix.

Second-quarter 2017 net income was $85 million, or $0.63 per share, versus $16 million, or $0.11 per share, in the same period in 2016.

Second-quarter 2017 Adjusted EBITDA was $210 million, a year-over-year increase of $7 million, or 3 percent, primarily driven by an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $11 million at AHS.

Second-quarter 2017 adjusted net income was $93 million, or $0.69 per share, versus $93 million, or $0.67 per share, for the same period in 2016.

As previously announced on Wednesday, July 26, ServiceMaster intends to separate its American Home Shield business from its Terminix and Franchise Services Group businesses. The Company also announced the appointment of Nikhil Varty as chief executive officer of ServiceMaster and as a member of the board, effective immediately.

Tony DiLucente, ServiceMaster’s chief financial officer, noted: “ServiceMaster delivered solid organic revenue growth in the second quarter. At AHS, organic growth and the contribution from 2016 acquisitions drove strong revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth again this quarter. At Terminix, the business delivered nearly 3 percent organic growth with some continued margin pressure as we increased investment in improving our sales and service delivery.”

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 3 percent year-over-year revenue increase in the second quarter of 2017 driven by an increase in core termite control, termite renewals, wildlife exclusion, core pest control and mosquito sales, offset, in part, by the expected decline in revenue associated with prior acquisition of Alterra Pest Control (“Alterra”). Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7 percent, or $7 million, versus prior year, primarily reflecting a $3 million increase in production labor costs associated with the company’s effort to improve safety, customer service and retention, a $2 million increase in termite damage claims, a $1 million increase in insurance costs, a $4 million increase in sales and marketing costs and a $4 million increase in other costs, offset, in part, by $8 million from the conversion of higher revenue.

American Home Shield

American Home Shield reported a 15 percent year-over-year revenue increase in the second quarter of 2017 driven by an increase in new unit sales, improved price realization and the impact of the OneGuard and Landmark acquisitions. AHS’s organic revenue growth was 8 percent in the second quarter versus prior year. For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA increased 15 percent, or $11 million, versus prior year, primarily reflecting a $9 million increase from the conversion of higher organic revenue, $5 million associated with the OneGuard and Landmark acquisitions, a $2 million decrease in sales and marketing costs and a $2 million contribution from price, net of inflation, offset, in part, by a $4 million increase in call center costs and the lapping of prior-year investment gains of $3 million. The increase in call center service costs was driven by an investment to further improve customer service levels.

Franchise Services Group

The Franchise Services Group reported a 5 percent year-over-year revenue increase in the second quarter of 2017 primarily driven by higher fee revenue, offset, in part, by the impact of converting company-owned Merry Maids branches to franchises. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15 percent, or $3 million, versus prior year, primarily reflecting the conversion of higher fee revenue.

Cash Flow

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations increased to $260 million from $244 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations was $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Net cash used for financing activities from continuing operations was $124 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used $85 million to purchase 2.2 million shares of company stock compared to $17 million to purchase 461 thousand shares in the prior year period. Additionally, we used $17 million in the second quarter of 2017 to purchase a portion of our 7.25% notes maturing in 2038.

Free cash flow(3) was $225 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $212 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Other Matters

Fumigation Related Matters

As previously disclosed, on January 20, 2017, the company entered into a plea agreement in connection with the investigation initiated by the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to the U.S. Virgin Islands matter. Under the terms of the plea agreement we have agreed to pay fines, community service and government costs totaling up to $10 million. On March 23, 2017, we pled guilty to four misdemeanor charges. The sentencing hearing previously scheduled for July 27, 2017, has been rescheduled for September 21, 2017. The plea agreement is non-binding on the court. It is possible that the court could use its discretion to impose fines or other terms different than those in the plea agreement. If the plea agreement is approved by the court, it will resolve the federal criminal consequences associated with the DOJ investigation.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 23, 2016, the company’s board of directors authorized a three-year share repurchase program, under which the company may purchase up to $300 million of outstanding shares of common stock. During the second-quarter 2017, the company purchased 872 thousand shares of common stock at an average price paid per share of $38.67 for a total of $34 million. As of June 30, 2017, we have repurchased 3.9 million outstanding shares at an aggregate cost of $145 million under this program.

Full-Year 2017 Outlook

The company now anticipates its full-year 2017 revenue to range from $2,900 million to $2,920 million, reflecting higher growth at Terminix and American Home Shield, and resulting in a revenue increase of 6 percent compared to 2016. Full-year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA is now anticipated to range from $675 million to $685 million, reflecting higher investment in sales and service at Terminix, and resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA increase of 1 percent to 3 percent compared to 2016. Our 2017 outlook excludes the impact of potential acquisitions.

A reconciliation of the forward-looking 2017 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.
