First-Quarter 2016
- Revenue increased 6% to $608 million with 11% and 8% growth at AHS and Terminix, respectively
- Net income of $39 million, or $0.28 per share, versus $28 million, or $0.20 per share, a year ago
- Adjusted net income(1) of $47 million, or $0.34 per share, versus $45 million, or $0.33 per share, a year ago
- Adjusted EBITDA(2) decreased 5% to $127 million from $133 million a year ago
- 2016 Outlook: Revenue range of $2,750 million to $2,780 million, or 6% to 7% over prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA range of $675 million to $690 million, or 9% to 11% over prior year
ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SERV), a leading provider of essential residential and commercial services, today announced unaudited first-quarter 2016 results. The company reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 6 percent driven by organic growth at American Home Shield (“AHS”) and in Terminix’s pest service line as well as the impact of acquiring Alterra Pest Control, LLC (“Alterra”) on November 10, 2015.
First-quarter 2016 net income was $39 million, or $0.28 per share, versus $28 million, or $0.20 per share, in the same period in 2015. First-quarter 2015 net income includes a loss on extinguishment of debt of $8 million, net of tax.
First-quarter 2016 adjusted net income was $47 million, or $0.34 per share, versus $45 million, or $0.33 per share, for the same period in 2015.
First-quarter 2016 Adjusted EBITDA was $127 million, a year-over-year decrease of $6 million, or 5 percent, primarily driven by a $10 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA at AHS offset by a $5 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA at Terminix. The Adjusted EBITDA reduction this quarter reflects increases of approximately $6 million in technology costs, primarily investments related to the ServSmartSM initiative, $11 million in sales/marketing spend and $10 million of contractor claim costs at AHS, partially offset by $26 million from the conversion of higher revenue.
Rob Gillette, ServiceMaster’s chief executive officer, noted, “We continue to grow and invest in our business with revenue growth accelerating at both AHS and Terminix this quarter. By investing in marketing and our ServSmart platform, we are building brand awareness and developing a technology platform that makes it easy for our customers to do business with us. With these investments we are well-positioned for future growth and profitability.”

A reconciliation of income from continuing operations to both 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 an 8 percent year-over-year revenue increase in the first-quarter of 2016, driven primarily by the impact of the Alterra acquisition in November 2015 and organic growth in pest service revenue. Adjusted EBITDA increased 6 percent, or $5 million, versus prior year, primarily driven by $15 million from the conversion of higher revenue, offset, in part, by a $4 million increase in technology costs, a $1 million increase in sales/marketing costs and a $5 million increase in other costs.
American Home Shield
American Home Shield reported an 11 percent year-over-year revenue increase in the first-quarter of 2016 driven by the growth in the number of home warranties and price increases. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $10 million versus prior year, primarily reflecting a $10 million increase in contractor claim costs, a $10 million increase in sales/marketing costs and a $2 million increase in technology costs, offset, in part, by $13 million from the conversion of higher revenue.
The increase in contractor claim costs was driven by an increase in the average cost per service request associated with appliance repairs and normal inflationary pressure. As of the end of the first quarter, our utilization of in-network contractors has returned to historical levels.
Franchise Services Group
The Franchise Services Group reported a 17 percent year-over-year revenue decrease in the first-quarter of 2016 primarily reflecting the conversion of certain company-owned Merry Maids branches to franchises and lower sales of products. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5 percent or $1 million versus prior year, primarily reflecting the flow-through effect of lower revenue and the branch conversions, offset, in part, by cost reduction initiatives.
Cash Flow
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations increased to $106 million from $68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations was $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Net cash used for financing activities from continuing operations was $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $190 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Free cash flow(3) was $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $71 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Other Matters
U.S. Virgin Islands
As previously disclosed, the company entered into a plea agreement in connection with the investigation by the United States Department of Justice with respect to the incident in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. To date, the company has recorded charges of $10 million in connection with the plea agreement, of which $2 million was recorded in the first-quarter of 2016. At an initial appearance on April 20, 2016, the United States District Court of the U.S. Virgin Islands rejected the plea agreement, indicating that it was not satisfied with the assessment and distribution of the monetary sanctions set forth in the plea agreement. The United States Department of Justice and the company continue to discuss the matter, including potential modifications to the plea agreement. The court scheduled a sentencing hearing on August 25, 2016 and indicated that a modified plea agreement could be filed up to that date.
