THE SERVICEMASTER COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

 

The ServiceMaster Company (“ServiceMaster,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a global company serving both residential and commercial customers. ServiceMaster’s services include termite and pest control, lawn care, home warranties and preventative maintenance contracts, cleaning and disaster restoration, house cleaning, wood furniture repair and home inspection. ServiceMaster provides these services through a network of company-owned, franchised and licensed locations operating primarily under the following leading brands: Terminix, TruGreen, American Home Shield, ServiceMaster Clean, Merry Maids, Furniture Medic and AmeriSpec.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ServiceMaster and its majority-owned subsidiary partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations. All consolidated ServiceMaster subsidiaries are wholly owned. ServiceMaster is organized into five principal reportable segments: Terminix, TruGreen, American Home Shield, ServiceMaster Clean and Other Operations and Headquarters. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company recommends that the quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC (the “2012 Form 10-K”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not indicative of the results that might be achieved for a full year.

 

On July 24, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), ServiceMaster was acquired pursuant to a merger transaction (the “Merger”), and, immediately following the completion of the Merger, all of the outstanding common stock of ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), the ultimate parent company of ServiceMaster, was owned by investment funds sponsored by, or affiliated with, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”), Citigroup Private Equity LP (“Citigroup”), BAS Capital Funding Corporation (“BAS”) and JPMorgan Chase Funding Inc. (“JPMorgan”). On September 30, 2010, Citigroup transferred the management responsibility for certain investment funds that own shares of common stock of Holdings to StepStone Group LLC (“StepStone”) and its proprietary interests in such investment funds to Lexington Partners Advisors LP.

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in the 2012 Form 10-K. The following selected accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the 2012 Form 10-K.

 

Revenues from lawn care and pest control services, as well as liquid and fumigation termite applications, are recognized as the services are provided. The Company eradicates termites through the use of non-baiting methods (e.g., fumigation or liquid treatments) and baiting systems. Termite services using baiting systems, termite inspection and protection contracts, as well as home warranties, are frequently sold through annual contracts for a one-time, upfront payment. Direct costs of these contracts (service costs for termite contracts and claim costs for home warranties) are expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes revenue over the life of these contracts in proportion to the expected direct costs. Those costs bear a direct relationship to the fulfillment of the Company’s obligations under the contracts and are representative of the relative value provided to the customer (proportional performance method). The Company regularly reviews its estimates of direct costs for its termite bait contracts and home warranties and adjusts the estimates when appropriate.

 

The Company has franchise agreements in its Terminix, TruGreen, ServiceMaster Clean, AmeriSpec, Furniture Medic and Merry Maids businesses. Franchise revenue (which in the aggregate represents approximately four percent of annual consolidated operating revenue from continuing operations) consists principally of continuing monthly fees based upon the franchisee’s customer level revenue. Monthly fee revenue is recognized when the related customer level revenue generating activity is performed by the franchisee and collectability is reasonably assured. Franchise revenue also includes initial fees resulting from the sale of a franchise or license. These initial franchise or license fees are pre-established, fixed amounts and are recognized as revenue when collectability is reasonably assured and all material services or conditions relating to the sale have been substantially performed. Total profits from the franchised operations were $20.6 million and $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $38.7 million and $33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Consolidated operating loss from

continuing operations was $563.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated operating income from continuing operations of $96.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Consolidated operating loss from continuing operations was $543.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated operating income from continuing operations of $151.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company evaluates the performance of its franchise businesses based primarily on operating profit before corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and amortization of intangible assets. The portion of total franchise fee income related to initial fees received from the sale of franchises was immaterial to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods.

 

The Company had $562.6 million and $483.9 million of deferred revenue as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Deferred revenue consists primarily of payments received for annual contracts relating to home warranties, termite baiting, termite inspection, pest control and lawn care services.

 

Customer acquisition costs, which are incremental and direct costs of obtaining a customer, are deferred and amortized over the life of the related contract in proportion to revenue recognized. These costs include sales commissions and direct selling costs which can be shown to have resulted in a successful sale. Deferred customer acquisition costs amounted to $56.9 million and $33.9 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

TruGreen has significant seasonality in its business. In the winter and spring, this business sells a series of lawn applications to customers which are rendered primarily in March through October (the production season). This business incurs incremental selling expenses at the beginning of the year that directly relate to successful sales for which the revenues are recognized in later quarters. On an interim basis, TruGreen defers these incremental selling expenses, pre-season advertising costs and annual repair and maintenance costs that are incurred primarily in the first quarter. These costs are deferred and recognized in proportion to the revenue generated over the production season and are not deferred beyond the calendar year-end. Other business segments of the Company also defer, on an interim basis, advertising costs incurred early in the year. These pre-season costs are deferred and recognized approximately in proportion to revenue over the balance of the year and are not deferred beyond the calendar year-end.

 

The cost of direct-response advertising at Terminix, consisting primarily of direct-mail promotions, is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future benefits.

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions required under GAAP which may differ from actual results. Disclosures in the 2012 Form 10-K presented the significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and discussed how management formed its judgments. The areas discussed included revenue recognition; the allowance for uncollectible receivables; accruals for self-insured retention limits related to medical, workers’ compensation, auto and general liability insurance claims; accruals for home warranties and termite damage claims; the possible outcome of outstanding litigation; accruals for income tax liabilities as well as deferred tax accounts; the deferral and amortization of customer acquisition costs; useful lives for depreciation and amortization expense; the valuation of marketable securities; and the valuation of tangible and intangible assets.

 

Newly Issued Accounting Statements and Positions

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. This standard allows an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If entities determine, on the basis of the qualitative assessment, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not greater than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test would not be required. Otherwise, further testing would be needed. This standard revises the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in interim periods, but it does not revise the requirements to test indefinite-lived intangible assets (1) annually for impairment and (2) between annual tests if there is a change in events or circumstances. The amendments in this standard are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company adopted the required provisions of this standard during the first quarter of 2013.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this standard do not change

the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements and are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the required provisions of this standard during the first quarter of 2013. The disclosures required by this standard are presented in Note 7 of the Company’s notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” to eliminate the diversity in practice associated with the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in instances where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 generally requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in certain circumstances. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

 

A portion of the Company’s vehicle fleet and some equipment are leased through month-to-month operating leases, cancelable at the Company’s option. There are residual value guarantees by the Company (which approximated 84 percent of the estimated terminal value at the inception of the lease) relative to these vehicles and equipment, which historically have not resulted in significant net payments to the lessors. The fair value of the assets under all of the fleet and equipment leases is expected to substantially mitigate the Company’s guarantee obligations under the agreements. As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s residual value guarantees related to the leased assets totaled $15.4 million for which the Company has recorded a liability for the estimated fair value of these guarantees of $0.2 million in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

 

The Company carries insurance policies on insurable risks at levels that it believes to be appropriate, including workers’ compensation, auto and general liability risks. The Company purchases insurance policies from third-party insurance carriers, which typically incorporate significant deductibles or self-insured retentions. The Company is responsible for all claims that fall below the retention limits. In determining the Company’s accrual for self-insured claims, the Company uses historical claims experience to establish both the current year accrual and the underlying provision for future losses. This actuarially determined provision and related accrual includes known claims, as well as incurred but not reported claims. The Company adjusts its estimate of accrued self-insured claims when required to reflect changes based on factors such as changes in health care costs, accident frequency and claim severity.

 

A reconciliation of beginning and ending accrued self-insured claims, which are included in Accrued liabilities — Self-insured claims and related expenses and Other long-term obligations, primarily self-insured claims on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, net of reinsurance receivables, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, is presented as follows:

Accruals for home warranty claims in the American Home Shield business are made based on the Company’s claims experience and actuarial projections. Termite damage claim accruals in the Terminix business are recorded based on both the historical rates of claims incurred within a contract year and the cost per claim. Current activity could differ causing a change in estimates. The Company has certain liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. The Company accrues for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified.

 

In the ordinary course of conducting business activities, the Company and its subsidiaries become involved in judicial, administrative and regulatory proceedings involving both private parties and governmental authorities. These proceedings include insured and uninsured matters that are brought on an individual, collective, representative and class action basis, or other proceedings involving regulatory, employment, general and commercial liability, automobile liability, wage and hour, environmental and other matters. The Company has entered into settlement agreements in certain cases, including with respect to putative collective and class actions, which are subject to court or other approvals. If one or more of the Company’s settlements are not finally approved, the Company could have additional or different exposure, which could be material. At this time, the Company does not expect any of these proceedings to have a material effect on its reputation, business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, the Company can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect its reputation, business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and intangible assets that are not amortized are subject to assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s annual assessment date is October 1. Based on the circumstances discussed below, interim impairment assessments for TruGreen’s goodwill and indefinite-lived trade name were conducted for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Based on the interim impairment assessment, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 include a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $417.5 million to reduce the carrying value of TruGreen’s goodwill to its estimated fair value of zero as of June 30, 2013. As of the date of this filing, the second step of the goodwill impairment test has not been finalized due to the complexities involved in determining the implied fair value of goodwill. The amount recorded in the second quarter of 2013 is the Company’s current estimate of the total goodwill impairment charge. A further adjustment, which may reflect a decrease to the estimate recorded in the second quarter of 2013, may be recorded in the third quarter of 2013 when the impairment analysis has been finalized. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 also include a non-cash trade name impairment charge of $255.8 million to reduce the carrying value of the TruGreen trade name to its estimated fair value of $351.0 million as of June 30, 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 include a non-cash trade name impairment charge of $67.7 million to reduce the carrying value of the TruGreen trade name to its then estimated fair value.

 

Goodwill Impairment

 

Based on the revenue and operating results of TruGreen in the first six months of 2013 and the outlook for the remainder of 2013 and future years, the Company concluded there was an impairment indicator requiring an interim goodwill impairment assessment for TruGreen as of June 30, 2013. The Company estimated that the implied fair value of goodwill as of such date was less than the carrying value for TruGreen by $417.5 million, which was recorded as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the second quarter of 2013. As of June 30, 2013, there was no goodwill remaining at TruGreen.

 

Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing the first step, the Company typically determines the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis, a market-based comparable approach and a market-based transaction approach. However, due to the significant decline in TruGreen’s performance over the trailing 12 month period and the outlook for the remainder of 2013 and future years, the market-based comparable and market-based transaction approaches were determined to no longer provide a meaningful measure of fair value and were excluded from the interim impairment analysis performed in the second quarter of 2013. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, terminal growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in the DCF analysis for TruGreen were based on the Company’s most recent forecast for 2013 and the Company’s projections for future years, which were based on estimated revenue growth rates and profit margins. The discount rate used in the DCF analysis was intended to reflect the risks inherent in the future cash flows of TruGreen. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value based on the first step analysis, as was the case in TruGreen’s second quarter 2013 interim test, then the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its goodwill carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. In other words, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. As noted above, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is not complete for TruGreen. The second step analysis is more complex and requires more data and analysis than the first step and as a result consumes more time. The Company has recorded its current estimate of TruGreen’s goodwill impairment charge based on information available as of the date of this filing and will finalize the amount of this charge in the third quarter of 2013.

 

The goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to a decline in forecasted 2013 and future cash flows at TruGreen over a defined projection period as of June 30, 2013 compared to the projections used in the last annual impairment assessment performed on October 1, 2012. The changes in projected cash flows at TruGreen arose in part from the business challenges at TruGreen described in “Segment Review—TruGreen Segment” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis below. Although the Company projected future improvement in cash flows at TruGreen as a part of its June 30, 2013 impairment analysis, total cash flows and projected growth in those cash flows were lower than those projected at the time TruGreen was last tested for impairment in October 2012. The long-term growth rates used in the impairment tests at June 30, 2013 and October 1, 2012 were the same and were in line with historical U.S. gross domestic product growth rates. The discount rate used in the June 30, 2013 impairment test was 100 basis points (“bps”) lower than the discount rate used in the October 1, 2012 impairment test for TruGreen.

The decrease in the discount rate is primarily attributable to changes in market conditions which indicated an improved outlook for the U.S. financial markets and a higher risk tolerance for investors since the last analysis in 2012.

 

Trade Name Impairment

 

Based on the revenue results at TruGreen in the first six months of 2013 and a lower revenue outlook for the remainder of 2013 and future years, the Company concluded that there was an impairment indicator requiring the performance of an interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for the TruGreen trade name as of June 30, 2013.

 

The impairment test for intangible assets not subject to amortization (other than goodwill) involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The estimates of fair value of intangible assets not subject to amortization are determined using a DCF valuation analysis. The DCF methodology used to value trade names is known as the relief from royalty method and entails identifying the hypothetical cash flows generated by an assumed royalty rate that a third party would pay to license the trade names and discounting them back to the valuation date. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis include the selection of appropriate discount rates and hypothetical royalty rates, estimating the amount and timing of future revenue attributable to the trade names over a defined projection period and identification of appropriate long-term revenue growth rate assumptions after the defined projection period. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets.

 

As a result of the aforementioned impairment indicators, the Company performed an impairment analysis on its indefinite-lived intangible asset related to TruGreen’s trade name to determine the fair value as of June 30, 2013. Based on the lower projected revenue for TruGreen as discussed above, the Company determined the estimated fair value attributable to the TruGreen trade name was less than its carrying value by $255.8 million, which was recorded as a trade name impairment in the second quarter of 2013.

 

The impairment charge in the second quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the assumed royalty rate and a decrease in projected future growth in revenue at TruGreen over a defined projection period as of June 30, 2013 compared to the royalty rate and projections used in the last annual impairment assessment performed on October 1, 2012. The decrease in the assumed royalty rate was due to lower current and projected earnings as a percent of revenue as compared to the last annual impairment test. Although the Company projected future growth in revenue at TruGreen as part of its June 30, 2013 impairment analysis, total projected revenue was lower than the revenue projected at the time the trade name was last tested for impairment in October 2012. The long-term revenue growth rates used in the impairment tests at June 30, 2013 and October 1, 2012 were the same and were in line with historical U.S. gross domestic product growth rates. The discount rate used in the June 30, 2013 impairment test was 100 bps lower than the discount rate used in the October 1, 2012 impairment test for the TruGreen trade name. The decrease in the discount rate is primarily attributable to changes in market conditions which indicated an improved outlook for the U.S. financial markets and a higher risk tolerance for investors since the last analysis. Had the Company used a discount rate in assessing the impairment of its TruGreen trade name that was 100 bps higher (holding all other assumptions unchanged), the Company would have recorded an additional impairment charge of approximately $57.4 million in the second quarter of 2013.

 

As a result of the trade name impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2013, the carrying value of the TruGreen trade name was adjusted to its estimated fair value as of June 30, 2013. Any further decline in the estimated fair value of this trade name will result in additional trade name impairment. It is possible that such impairment, if required, could be material and may need to be recorded prior to the fourth quarter of 2013 (i.e., during the third quarter) if the Company’s results of operations or other factors require such assets to be tested for impairment at an interim date.

The Company acquired $31.8 million and $27.7 million of property and equipment through capital leases and other non-cash financing transactions in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which have been excluded from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as non-cash investing and financing activities.

 

Note 9. Receivable Sales

 

The Company has an accounts receivable securitization arrangement under which Terminix and TruGreen may sell certain eligible trade accounts receivable to ServiceMaster Funding Company LLC (“Funding”), the Company’s wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Funding, in turn, may transfer, on a revolving basis, an undivided percentage ownership interest of up to $50.0 million in the pool of accounts receivable to one or both of the purchasers who are parties to the accounts receivable securitization arrangement (“Purchasers”). The amount of the eligible receivables varies during the year based on seasonality of the businesses and could, at times, limit the amount available to the Company from the sale of these interests. As of June 30, 2013, the amount of eligible receivables was approximately $46.4 million.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no transfers of interests in the pool of trade accounts receivables to Purchasers under this arrangement. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $10.0 million outstanding under the arrangement and, as of June 30, 2013, had $36.4 million of remaining capacity available under the accounts receivable securitization arrangement.

 

The accounts receivable securitization arrangement is a 364-day facility scheduled to mature on October 23, 2013. The Company has recorded its obligation to repay the Purchasers for their interest in the pool of receivables within the current portion of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The interest rates applicable to the Company’s obligation are based on a fluctuating rate of interest based on the Purchasers’ pooled commercial paper rate (0.19 percent as of June 30, 2013). In addition, the Company pays usage fees on its obligations and commitment fees on undrawn amounts committed by the Purchasers. Unless the arrangement is renegotiated or extended prior to its expiration, all obligations under the accounts receivable securitization arrangement must be repaid by October 23, 2013.

The portion of unrealized losses which had been in a loss position for more than one year was $0.4 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the investments with unrealized losses was $37.5 million and $13.1 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $277.5 million and $243.7 million, respectively, of the cash and short- and long-term marketable securities balance were associated with regulatory requirements at American Home Shield and for other purposes. Such amounts, although not necessarily subject to third-party restrictions, are identified as being potentially unavailable to be paid to the Company by its subsidiaries. There are third-party restrictions on the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company. These restrictions are related to regulatory requirements at American Home Shield and to a subsidiary borrowing arrangement at The ServiceMaster Acceptance Company Limited Partnership (“SMAC”). As of June 30, 2013, the total net assets subject to these third-party restrictions was $162.7 million. American Home Shield’s investment portfolio has been invested in a combination of high-quality, short-duration fixed-income securities and equities.

 

Gains and losses on sales of investments, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in investment income in the period they are realized. The Company periodically reviews its portfolio of investments to determine whether there has been an other than temporary decline in the value of the investments from factors such as deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer or the market(s) in which the issuer competes. The table below summarizes proceeds, gross realized gains and gross realized losses, each resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities. There were no impairment charges due to other than temporary declines in the value of certain investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

(4)                               The Company has entered into a fleet management services agreement (the “Fleet Agreement”) which, among other things, allows the Company to obtain fleet vehicles through a leasing program. All leases under the Fleet Agreement are capital leases for accounting purposes. The lease rental payments include an interest component calculated using a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR plus other contractual adjustments and a borrowing margin totaling 2.45 percent.

On February 22, 2013, the Company entered into the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment to amend the credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility (the “Credit Agreement”) primarily to extend the maturity date of a portion of the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment, the maturity of the outstanding Tranche A loans was extended, and such loans were converted into a new tranche of term loans in an aggregate principal amount, along with new loans extended by certain new lenders, of $1.220 billion (the “Tranche C loans”). The maturity date for the new Tranche C loans is January 31, 2017. The interest rates applicable to the Tranche C loans under the Term Loan Facility are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either, at the Company’s option, (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 3.25 percent, with a minimum adjusted London inter-bank offered rate of 1.00 percent or (ii) an alternate base rate plus 2.25 percent, with a minimum alternate base rate of 2.00 percent. As part of the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment, the Company paid an original issue discount equal to 1.00 percent of the outstanding borrowings, or $12.2 million. Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Tranche C Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, except for a 1.00 percent premium payable in connection with certain repricing transactions within the first year. As a result of the amendment entered into in August 2012 (the “2012 Term Loan Facility Amendment”) and the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment, the Company has, as of June 30, 2013, approximately $2.198 billion of outstanding borrowings maturing January 31, 2017, after including the unamortized portion of the original issue discount paid.

Note 13. Income Taxes

 

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $8.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of tax benefits primarily reflected in state tax returns that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes (“unrecognized tax benefits”). The Company currently estimates that, as a result of pending tax settlements and expiration of statutes of limitations, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by approximately $0.7 million during the next 12 months.

 

As required by Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Taxes,” the Company computes interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. The Company’s estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter in accordance with ASC 740.

 

The effective tax rate on (loss) income from continuing operations was 18.5 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 41.9 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the impairment of permanently nondeductible goodwill in the amount of $279.7 million. The effective tax rate on (loss) income from discontinued operations was 38.7 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 38.3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

 

The effective tax rate on loss from continuing operations was 19.7 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 19.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was affected by the impairment of permanently nondeductible goodwill. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was affected by the impairment of the TruGreen trade name and the resulting impact on the allocation of the full year effective tax rate on income from continuing operations to interim periods. The effective tax rate on (loss) income from discontinued operations was 38.7 percent for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Note 15. Related Party Transactions

 

In connection with the Merger and the related transactions, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with CD&R under which CD&R provides the Company with on-going consulting and management advisory services. The annual management fee payable under the consulting agreement with CD&R is $6.25 million. Under this agreement, the Company recorded management fees of $1.6 million and $3.1 million in each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is included in Selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The consulting agreement also provides that CD&R may receive additional fees in connection with certain subsequent financing and acquisition or disposition transactions. There were no additional fees incurred in each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The consulting agreement will terminate on July 24, 2017, unless terminated earlier at CD&R’s election.

 

In addition, in August 2009, the Company entered into consulting agreements with Citigroup, BAS and JPMorgan. Under the consulting agreements, Citigroup, BAS and JPMorgan each provide the Company with on-going consulting and management advisory services through June 30, 2016 or the earlier termination of the existing consulting agreement between the Company and CD&R. On September 30, 2010, Citigroup transferred the management responsibility for certain investment funds that own shares of common stock of Holdings to StepStone and Lexington Partners Advisors LP. Citigroup also assigned its obligations and rights under its consulting agreement to StepStone, and beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010, the consulting fee otherwise payable to Citigroup became payable to StepStone. As of December 22, 2011, Holdings purchased from BAS 7.5 million shares of capital stock of Holdings, and, effective January 1, 2012, the annual consulting fee payable to BAS was reduced to $0.25 million. The Company pays annual consulting fees of $0.5 million, $0.25 million and $0.25 million to StepStone, BAS and JPMorgan, respectively. The Company recorded aggregate consulting fees related to these agreements of $0.25 million and $0.5 million in each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is included in Selling and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

On April 19, 2013, the Company entered into a revolving promissory note with Holdings with a maximum borrowing capacity of $25.0 million that is scheduled to mature on April 18, 2018. Amounts outstanding under this agreement shall bear interest at the rate of 5.0 percent per annum. As of June 30, 2013, Holdings had borrowed $10.3 million under this note.

 

Note 16. Fair Value Measurements

 

The period-end carrying amounts of receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The period-end carrying amounts of long-term notes receivable approximate fair value as the effective interest rates for these instruments are comparable to period-end market rates. The period-end carrying amounts of short- and long-term marketable securities also approximate fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported net of tax as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, or, for certain unrealized losses, reported in interest and net investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) if the decline in value is other than temporary. The carrying amount of total debt was $3.963 billion and $3.961 billion and the estimated fair value was $3.911 billion and $4.018 billion as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on available market prices for the same or similar instruments which are considered significant other observable inputs (Level 2) within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values presented reflect the amounts that would

be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value estimates presented in this report are based on information available to the Company as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the market and income approaches. For investments in marketable securities, deferred compensation trust assets and derivative contracts, which are carried at their fair values, the Company’s fair value estimates incorporate quoted market prices, other observable inputs (for example, forward interest rates) and unobservable inputs (for example, forward commodity prices) at the balance sheet date.

 

Interest rate swap contracts are valued using forward interest rate curves obtained from third-party market data providers. The fair value of each contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract interest rate to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between the two rates to the notional amount of debt in the interest rate swap contracts.

 

Fuel swap contracts are valued using forward fuel price curves obtained from third-party market data providers. The fair value of each contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract fuel price to the expected forward fuel price as of each settlement date and applying the difference between the contract and expected prices to the notional gallons in the fuel swap contracts. The Company regularly reviews the forward price curves obtained from third-party market data providers and related changes in fair value for reasonableness utilizing information available to the Company from other published sources.

 

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the year. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no significant transfers between levels during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented are as follows:

(1)         In the second quarter of 2013, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $255.8 million to reduce the carrying value of the TruGreen trade name to its fair value of $351.0 million as a result of our interim impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets. See Note 5 for further information regarding the factors that led to the completion of the interim impairment analysis along with a description of the methodology, assumptions and significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of the TruGreen trade name.

 

(2)         In the second quarter of 2013, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $417.5 million to reduce the carrying value of TruGreen’s goodwill to its implied fair value of zero as a result of our interim goodwill impairment testing. See Note 5 for further information regarding the factors that led to the initiation of the interim impairment analysis along with a description of the methodology, assumptions and significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of TruGreen’s goodwill.  As of the date of this filing, the second step of the goodwill impairment test has not been finalized due to the complexities involved in determining the implied fair value of goodwill. The amount recorded in the second quarter of 2013 is the Company’s current estimate of the total goodwill impairment charge. A further adjustment, which may reflect a decrease to the estimate recorded in the second quarter of 2013, may be recorded in the third quarter of 2013 when the impairment analysis has been finalized.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage risks associated with changes in fuel prices and interest rates. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In designating its derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments under accounting standards for derivative instruments, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the projected changes in cash flows of the associated forecasted transactions. All of the Company’s designated hedging instruments are classified as cash flow hedges.

 

The Company has historically hedged a significant portion of its annual fuel consumption of approximately 20 million gallons. The Company has also hedged the interest payments on a portion of its variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swap agreements. All of the Company’s fuel swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts are classified as cash flow hedges, and, as such, the hedging instruments are recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position as either an asset or liability at fair value, with the effective portion of changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risks recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Any change in the fair value of the hedging instrument resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by accounting standards, is recognized in current period earnings. Cash flows related to fuel and interest rate derivatives are classified as

operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, other than cash flows related to one amended interest rate swap contract which are classified as financing activities.

 

The effect of derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position is presented as follows:

Ineffective portions of derivative instruments designated in accordance with accounting standards as cash flow hedge relationships were insignificant during the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had fuel swap contracts to pay fixed prices for fuel with an aggregate notional amount of $48.7 million, maturing through 2014. Under the terms of its fuel swap contracts, the Company is required to post collateral in the event that the fair value of the contracts exceeds a certain agreed upon liability level and in other circumstances required by the counterparty. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had posted $2.5 million in letters of credit as collateral under its fuel hedging program, none of which were posted under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2013, the Company had interest rate swap contracts to pay fixed rates for interest on long-term debt with an aggregate notional amount of $730.0 million, maturing through 2013.

 

The effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement or the fuel settlement affects earnings. The amount expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months includes unrealized gains and losses related to open fuel hedges and interest rate swap contracts. Specifically, as the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, the hedging gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in earnings is a loss of $0.6 million, net of tax, as of June 30, 2013. The amounts that are ultimately reclassified into earnings will be based on actual interest rates and fuel prices at the time the positions are settled and may differ materially from the amount noted above.

Note 17. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements of The ServiceMaster Company and Subsidiaries

 

The following condensed consolidating financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. These condensed consolidating financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s financial information on the same basis of accounting as the condensed consolidated financial statements. Goodwill and other intangible assets have been allocated to all of the subsidiaries of the Company based on management’s estimates.

 

The payment obligations of the Company under the $600 million aggregate principal amount of 8 percent senior notes due 2020 (the “8% 2020 Notes”) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 7 percent senior notes due 2020 (the “7% 2020 Notes”, and together with the 8% 2020 Notes, the “2020 Notes”) are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility, the pre-funded letter of credit facility (together, the “Term Facilities”) and the Revolving Credit Facility (together with the Term Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”) (the “Guarantors”). Each of the Guarantors is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, and all guarantees are full and unconditional. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries, our subsidiaries subject to regulation as an insurance, home warranty, service contract or similar company, or certain other subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantors”) do not guarantee the 2020 Notes. A Guarantor will be released from its obligations under its guarantee under certain customary circumstances, including, (i) the sale or disposition of the Guarantor, (ii) the release of the Guarantor from all of its obligations under all guarantees related to any indebtedness of the Company, (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Guarantor as specified in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes, (iv) the Guarantor becomes an unrestricted subsidiary under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes, (v) the defeasance of the Company’s obligations under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes or (vi) the payment in full of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Recent Developments

 

Harry J. Mullany III, our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), resigned from the Company effective April 12, 2013. John Krenicki, Jr., the Chairman of the board of directors of Holdings, served as Interim CEO until June 17, 2013, when Robert J. Gillette was elected to serve as CEO of ServiceMaster.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company reported operating revenue of $938.7 million and $962.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.547 billion and $1.617 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The operating revenue decrease was driven by the results of our business units as described in our “Segment Review.”

 

Operating loss was $563.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to operating income of $96.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. Operating loss was $543.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to operating income of $151.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $625.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to income from continuing operating before income taxes of $38.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $663.5 million and $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

The decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes primarily reflects the net effect of year over year changes in the following items:

Operating and Non-Operating Expenses

 

Cost of Services Rendered and Products Sold

 

The Company reported cost of services rendered and products sold of $551.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $533.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. As a percentage of operating revenue, these costs increased to 58.7 percent for the second quarter of 2013 from 55.4 percent for the second quarter of 2012. This percentage increase primarily reflects reduced leverage due to the decline in operating revenue; lower labor, chemical and vehicle efficiency and higher bad debt expense at TruGreen; and higher expenses in our automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance program, offset, in part, by a $2.5 million impairment of licensed intellectual property at Terminix recorded in the second quarter of 2012 for which there was no similar impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2013.

 

The Company reported cost of services rendered and products sold of $924.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $919.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of operating revenue, these costs increased to 59.8 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 56.9 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This percentage increase primarily reflects reduced leverage due to the decline in operating revenue; lower labor, chemical and vehicle efficiency and higher bad debt expense at TruGreen; and higher expenses in our automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance program, offset, in part, by a favorable adjustment to reserves for prior year contract claims at American Home Shield; and a $2.5 million impairment of licensed intellectual property at Terminix and a $4.2 million impairment of certain internally developed software at Merry Maids recorded in the first six months of 2012 for which there were no similar impairments recorded in the first six months of 2013.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses

 

The Company reported selling and administrative expenses of $263.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $241.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. As a percentage of operating revenue, these costs increased to 28.1 percent for the second quarter of 2013 from 25.1 percent for the second quarter of 2012. This percentage increase primarily reflects reduced leverage due to the decline in operating revenue; higher sales labor, increased investments in sales tools and higher costs associated with leadership changes at TruGreen; investments to drive improvements in service delivery at American Home Shield; and higher key executive transition charges; offset, in part, by a reduction in tax-related reserves at American Home Shield.

 

The Company reported selling and administrative expenses of $461.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $433.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of operating revenue, these costs increased to 29.8 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 26.8 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This percentage increase primarily reflects reduced leverage due to the decline in operating revenue; higher sales labor, increased investments in sales tools, higher costs associated with leadership changes and higher costs related to new information technology systems at TruGreen; investments to drive improvements in service delivery at American Home Shield; and higher key executive transition charges; offset, in part, by a reduction in tax-related reserves at American Home Shield.

 

Amortization Expense

 

Amortization expense was $13.9 million and $17.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $27.8 million and $35.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decreases are a result of certain finite-lived intangible assets recorded in connection with the Merger being fully amortized.

Goodwill and Trade Name Impairments

 

Goodwill and intangible assets that are not amortized are subject to assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The Company’s annual assessment date is October 1. Based on the circumstances discussed below, interim impairment assessments for TruGreen’s goodwill and indefinite-lived trade name were conducted for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Based on the interim impairment assessment, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 include a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $417.5 million to reduce the carrying value of TruGreen’s goodwill to its estimated fair value of zero as of June 30, 2013. As of the date of this filing, the second step of the goodwill impairment test has not been finalized due to the complexities involved in determining the implied fair value of goodwill. The amount recorded in the second quarter of 2013 is the Company’s current estimate of the total goodwill impairment charge. A further adjustment, which may reflect a decrease to the estimate recorded in the second quarter of 2013, may be recorded in the third quarter of 2013 when the impairment analysis has been finalized. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 also include a non-cash trade name impairment charge of $255.8 million to reduce the carrying value of the TruGreen trade name to its estimated fair value of $351.0 million as June 30, 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 include a non-cash trade name impairment charge of $67.7 million to reduce the carrying value of the TruGreen trade name to its then estimated fair value.

 

Goodwill Impairment

 

Based on the revenue and operating results of TruGreen in the first six months of 2013 and the outlook for the remainder of 2013 and future years, the Company concluded there was an impairment indicator requiring an interim goodwill impairment assessment for TruGreen as of June 30, 2013. The Company estimated that the implied fair value of goodwill as of such date was less than the carrying value for TruGreen by $417.5 million, which was recorded as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the second quarter of 2013. As of June 30, 2013, there was no goodwill remaining at TruGreen.

 

Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing the first step, the Company typically determines the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of a DCF analysis, a market-based comparable approach and a market-based transaction approach. However, due to the significant decline in TruGreen’s performance over the trailing 12 month period and the outlook for the remainder of 2013 and future years, the market-based comparable and market-based transaction approaches were determined to no longer provide a meaningful measure of fair value and were excluded from the interim impairment analysis performed in the second quarter of 2013. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, terminal growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in the DCF analysis for TruGreen were based on the Company’s most recent forecast for 2013 and the Company’s projections for future years, which were based on estimated revenue growth rates and profit margins. The discount rate used in the DCF analysis was intended to reflect the risks inherent in the future cash flows of TruGreen. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value based on the first step analysis, as was the case in TruGreen’s second quarter 2013 interim test, then the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with its goodwill carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. In other words, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. As noted above, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is not complete for TruGreen. The second step analysis is more complex and requires more data and analysis than the first step and as a result consumes more time. The Company has recorded its current estimate of TruGreen’s goodwill impairment charge based on information available as of the date of this filing and will finalize the amount of this charge in the third quarter of 2013.

 

The goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to a decline in forecasted 2013 and future cash flows at TruGreen over a defined projection period as of June 30, 2013 compared to the projections used in the last annual impairment assessment performed on October 1, 2012. The changes in projected cash flows at TruGreen arose in part from the business challenges at TruGreen described in “Segment Review—TruGreen Segment” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis below. Although the Company projected future improvement in cash flows at TruGreen as a part of its June 30, 2013 impairment analysis, total cash flows and projected growth in those cash flows were lower than those projected at the time TruGreen was last tested for impairment in October 2012. The long-term growth rates used in the impairment tests at June 30, 2013 and October 1, 2012 were the same and were in line with historical U.S. gross domestic product growth rates. The discount rate used in the June 30, 2013 impairment test was 100 bps lower than the discount rate used in the October 1, 2012 impairment test for TruGreen. The decrease in the discount rate is primarily attributable to changes in market conditions which indicated an improved outlook for the U.S. financial markets and a higher risk tolerance for investors since the last analysis in 2012.

Trade Name Impairment

 

Based on the revenue results at TruGreen in the first six months of 2013 and a lower revenue outlook for the remainder of 2013 and future years, the Company concluded that there was an impairment indicator requiring the performance of an interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for the TruGreen trade name as of June 30, 2013.

 

The impairment test for intangible assets not subject to amortization (other than goodwill) involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The estimates of fair value of intangible assets not subject to amortization are determined using a DCF valuation analysis. The DCF methodology used to value trade names is known as the relief from royalty method and entails identifying the hypothetical cash flows generated by an assumed royalty rate that a third party would pay to license the trade names and discounting them back to the valuation date. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis include the selection of appropriate discount rates and hypothetical royalty rates, estimating the amount and timing of future revenue attributable to the trade names over a defined projection period and identification of appropriate long-term revenue growth rate assumptions after the defined projection period. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets.

 

As a result of the aforementioned impairment indicators, the Company performed an impairment analysis on its indefinite-lived intangible asset related to TruGreen’s trade name to determine the fair value as of June 30, 2013. Based on the lower projected revenue for TruGreen as discussed above, the Company determined the estimated fair value attributable to the TruGreen trade name was less than its carrying value by $255.8 million, which was recorded as a trade name impairment in the second quarter of 2013.

 

The impairment charge in the second quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the assumed royalty rate and a decrease in projected future growth in revenue at TruGreen over a defined projection period as of June 30, 2013 compared to the royalty rate and projections used in the last annual impairment assessment performed on October 1, 2012. The decrease in the assumed royalty rate was due to lower current and projected earnings as a percent of revenue as compared to the last annual impairment test. Although the Company projected future growth in revenue at TruGreen as part of its June 30, 2013 impairment analysis, total projected revenue was lower than the revenue projected at the time the trade name was last tested for impairment in October 2012. The long-term revenue growth rates used in the impairment tests at June 30, 2013 and October 1, 2012 were the same and were in line with historical U.S. gross domestic product growth rates. The discount rate used in the June 30, 2013 impairment test was 100 bps lower than the discount rate used in the October 1, 2012 impairment test for the TruGreen trade name. The decrease in the discount rate is primarily attributable to changes in market conditions which indicated an improved outlook for the U.S. financial markets and a higher risk tolerance for investors since the last analysis. Had the Company used a discount rate in assessing the impairment of its TruGreen trade name that was 100 bps higher (holding all other assumptions unchanged), the Company would have recorded an additional impairment charge of approximately $57.4 million in the second quarter of 2013.

 

As a result of the trade name impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2013, the carrying value of the TruGreen trade name was adjusted to its estimated fair value as of June 30, 2013. Any further decline in the estimated fair value of this trade name will result in additional trade name impairment. It is possible that such impairment, if required, could be material and may need to be recorded prior to the fourth quarter of 2013 (i.e., during the third quarter) if the Company’s results of operations or other factors require such assets to be tested for impairment at an interim date.

 

Restructuring Charges

 

The Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.3 million and $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3.6 million and $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Restructuring charges were comprised of the following:

(1)                                 For the three months ended June 30, 2013, these charges included severance costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, these charges included severance costs of $0.1 million and lease termination costs of $0.9 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, these charges included lease termination costs.

 

(2)                                 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and the three months ended June 30, 2012, these charges included severance costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, these charges included severance costs of $0.3 million and lease termination costs of $0.5 million.

 

(3)                                 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, these charges included severance costs.

 

(4)                                Represents restructuring charges related to an initiative to enhance capabilities and reduce costs in the Company’s headquarters functions that provide company-wide administrative services for our operations that we refer to as “centers of excellence.” For the three months ended June 30, 2013, these charges included severance and other costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, these charges included professional fees of $0.7 million and severance and other costs of $3.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, these charges included professional fees of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and severance and other costs of $0.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

 

Non-Operating Expense

 

Non-operating expense totaled $61.9 million and $58.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. This increase is primarily due to a $3.8 million increase in interest expense as a result of an increase in our weighted-average interest rate and average long-term debt balance.

 

Non-operating expense totaled $119.8 million and $160.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This decrease is primarily due to a $39.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to the redemption of $600 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2015 Notes and a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense as a result of a decrease in our weighted average interest rate, offset, in part, by an increase in our average long-term debt balance. Interest and net investment income was comprised of the following:

(2)                                 Represents investment income (loss) resulting from a change in the market value of investments within an employee deferred compensation trust (for which there is a corresponding and offsetting change in compensation expense within income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes).

 

(3)                                Represents interest income on other cash balances.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate on (loss) income from continuing operations was 18.5 percent for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 41.9 percent for the second quarter of 2012. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the impairment of permanently nondeductible goodwill in the amount of $279.7 million.

 

The effective tax rate on loss from continuing operations was 19.7 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 19.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was affected by the impairment of permanently nondeductible goodwill. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was affected by the impairment of the TruGreen trade name and the resulting impact on the allocation of the full year effective tax rate on income from continuing operations to interim periods.

Net (Loss) Income

 

Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $510.2 million compared to net income for the second quarter of 2012 of $23.0 million. The $533.2 million decrease was driven by a $664.0 million decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes and a $1.1 million increase in loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, partially offset by a $131.8 million increase in benefit for income taxes.

 

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $533.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The $526.3 million decrease was driven by a $655.0 million decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes and a $0.3 million increase in loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, partially offset by a $129.0 million increase in benefit for income taxes.

Segment Review

 

The following business segment reviews should be read in conjunction with the required footnote disclosures presented in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measures of the Company’s cash flow or liquidity. “Adjusted EBITDA” means net income (loss) before: income (loss) from discontinued operations; provision (benefit) for income taxes; equity in losses of joint ventures; other expense; gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt; interest expense; interest and net investment income; and depreciation and amortization expense; as well as adding back interest and net investment income and non-cash goodwill and trade name impairment. “Operating Performance” is calculated by adding back to Adjusted EBITDA an amount equal to the non-cash stock-based compensation expense; non-cash effects on Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the application of purchase accounting in connection with the Merger; restructuring charges and management and consulting fees.

 

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net interest income and expense), taxation and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense), which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. The Company uses Operating Performance as a supplemental measure to assess the Company’s performance because it excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense, non-cash effects on Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the application of purchase accounting in connection with the Merger, restructuring charges and management and consulting fees. The Company presents Operating Performance because it believes that it is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties in their analysis of the Company’s operating results.

Table of Contents

 

Charges relating to stock-based compensation expense and the impact of purchase accounting are non-cash and the exclusion of the impact of these items from Operating Performance allows investors to understand the current period results of operations of the business on a comparable basis with previous periods and, secondarily, gives the investors added insight into cash earnings available to service the Company’s debt. We believe this to be of particular importance to the Company’s public investors, which are debt holders. The Company also believes that the exclusion of purchase accounting, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and management and consulting fees may provide an additional means for comparing the Company’s performance to the performance of other companies by eliminating the impact of differently structured equity-based, long-term incentive plans, restructuring initiatives and consulting agreements (although care must be taken in making any such comparison, as there may be inconsistencies among companies in the manner of computing similarly titled financial measures).

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

·      Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;

 

·      Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance do not reflect the Company’s interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company’s debt;

 

·      Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance do not reflect the Company’s tax expense or the cash requirements to pay the Company’s taxes;

 

·      Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, nor should they be relied upon to assess current or future liquidity;

 

·      Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

·      Other companies in the Company’s industries may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures;

 

·      Operating Performance does not include purchase accounting and non-cash stock based compensation expense; the latter of which may cause the overall compensation cost of the business to be understated; and

 

·      Operating Performance does not include restructuring charges and management and consulting fees, the exclusion of which may cause the operating expenses of the business to be understated.

Terminix Segment

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

The Terminix segment, which provides termite and pest control services to residential and commercial customers and distributes pest control products, reported a 5.1 percent increase in operating revenue, a 17.0 percent increase in operating income and a 10.1 percent increase in Operating Performance for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. Pest control revenue, which was 50 percent of the segment’s operating revenue in the second quarter of 2013, increased 3.9 percent compared to 2012, reflecting improved price realization, offset, in part, by a 0.6 percent decrease in average customer counts. Absolute pest control customer counts as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 decreased 0.4 percent, driven by a 60 bps decrease in the customer retention rate and a decrease in new unit sales and acquisitions. Termite revenue, which was 44 percent of the segment’s operating revenue in the second quarter of 2013, increased 6.7 percent compared to 2012. Termite renewal revenue comprised 49 percent of total termite revenue, while the remainder consisted of termite new unit sales. The increase in termite revenue reflects improved price realization and the favorable timing of renewal revenue. Absolute termite renewal customer counts as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 declined 2.2 percent driven by a 40 bps decrease in the customer retention rate and a decrease in new unit sales, offset, in part, by an increase in acquisitions.

 

Terminix’s Operating Performance increased $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. A $2.5 million impairment of licensed intellectual property was recorded in the second quarter of 2012. The remaining $6.5 million increase primarily reflects the impact of higher operating revenue and a reduction in incentive compensation expense, offset, in part, by higher bad debt expense.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

The Terminix segment reported a 3.0 percent increase in operating revenue, an 8.2 percent increase in operating income and a 3.6 percent increase in Operating Performance for the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012. Pest control revenue, which was 53 percent of the segment’s operating revenue in the first six months of 2013, increased 4.4 percent compared to 2012, reflecting improved price realization. Absolute pest control customer counts as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 decreased 0.4 percent, driven by a 60 basis points decrease in the customer retention rate and a decrease in new unit sales and acquisitions. Termite revenue, which was 42 percent of the segment’s operating revenue in the first six months of 2013, increased 1.8 percent compared to 2012. Termite renewal revenue comprised 54 percent of total termite revenue, while the remainder consisted of termite new unit sales. The increase in termite revenue reflects improved price realization and the favorable timing of renewal revenue, offset, in part, by a 1.8 percent decrease in average customer counts. Absolute termite renewal customer counts as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 declined 2.2 percent driven by a 40 bps decrease in the customer retention rate and a decrease in new unit sales, offset, in part, by an increase in acquisitions.

 

Terminix’s Operating Performance increased $6.4 million for the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012. A $2.5 million impairment of licensed intellectual property was recorded in the first six months of 2012. The remaining $3.9 million increase primarily reflects the impact of higher operating revenue and lower product distribution revenue, which has lower margins than pest or termite revenue, offset, in part, by higher bad debt expense.

 

TruGreen Segment

 

TruGreen ended 2012 with three key challenges: lower customer counts, a product offering that was too narrow and operational inefficiency due to changes in key technology. The Company has taken steps in the first six months of 2013 to begin to address each of these challenges. First, the Company has made investments in all sales and marketing channels, including higher staffing levels, improved training programs and new sales tools. In addition, the Company redesigned its core product offerings and introduced a tiered product structure, giving customers varying price points to choose from.

 

Technology integration issues continue to impact our ability to service our customers. These inefficiencies are adversely impacting operating revenue, as well as labor, vehicle and chemical costs. The Company continues to invest in, and improve, its newly implemented operating systems.

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

The TruGreen segment, which provides residential and commercial lawn, tree and shrub care services, reported a 12.4 percent decrease in operating revenue, a $672.2 million increase in operating loss and a 74.6 percent decrease in Operating Performance for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. Revenue from residential lawn service

customers, which was 81 percent of the segment’s operating revenue in the second quarter of 2013, decreased 12.7 percent compared to 2012, reflecting a 6.3 percent decline in average residential full program customer counts and inefficiencies in service delivery caused, in part, by integration issues with newly implemented technology. Absolute customer counts as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 declined 5.0 percent, driven by a lower customer base at the beginning of the quarter as compared to the prior year, offset, in part, by an increase in new unit sales and a 320 bps increase in the residential full program customer retention rate. The decrease in the beginning customer base was significantly impacted by limited options in our 2012 product offerings and lower investments in sales and marketing in 2012. For the second quarter of 2013 compared to 2012, the segment’s operating revenue also reflects a $6.2 million decrease in revenue from commercial customers.

 

TruGreen’s operating income for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 included pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $673.3 million and $67.7 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying values of TruGreen’s goodwill and trade name to their estimated fair values as further discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. TruGreen’s Operating Performance decreased $65.8 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. This decrease primarily reflects the impact of lower operating revenue; lower labor, chemical and vehicle efficiency driven, in part, by integration issues with newly implemented technology; higher bad debt expense; higher sales staffing levels; increased investments in sales tools; and higher costs associated with leadership changes.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

The TruGreen segment reported a 16.8 percent decrease in operating revenue, a $707.4 million increase in operating loss and a 117.2 percent decrease in Operating Performance for the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012. Revenue from residential lawn service customers, which was 81 percent of the segment’s operating revenue in the first six months of 2013, decreased 18.2 percent compared to 2012, reflecting an 8.4 percent decline in average residential full program customer counts and inefficiencies in service delivery caused, in part, by integration issues with newly implemented technology. Absolute customer counts as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 declined 5.0 percent, driven by a lower customer base at the beginning of the year as compared to the prior year, offset, in part, by an increase in new unit sales and a 320 bps increase in the residential full program customer retention rate. For the first six months of 2013 compared to 2012, the segment’s operating revenue also reflects an $8.6 million decrease in revenue from commercial customers.

 

TruGreen’s operating income for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 included pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $673.3 million and $67.7 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying values of TruGreen’s goodwill and trade name to their estimated fair values as further discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. TruGreen’s Operating Performance decreased $99.8 million for the first six months of 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012. This decrease primarily reflects the impact of lower operating revenue; lower labor, chemical and vehicle efficiency driven, in part, by integration issues with newly implemented technology; higher bad debt expense; higher sales staffing levels; higher costs related to new telephone and information technology systems; increased investments in sales tools; and higher costs associated with leadership changes.

 

American Home Shield Segment

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

The American Home Shield segment, which provides home warranties and preventative maintenance contracts for household systems and appliances, reported a 1.1 percent decrease in operating revenue, an 8.1 percent increase in operating income and a 6.6 percent increase in Operating Performance for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. The operating revenue results reflect a decrease due to differences between years in the timing of contract claims, offset, in part, by improved price realization and a 1.3 percent increase in average customer counts. American Home Shield recognizes revenue over the contract period in proportion to expected direct costs. Absolute customer counts as of June 30, 2013 increased 2.1 percent compared to June 30, 2012 driven by an increase in new unit sales, offset, in part, by a 60 bps decrease in the customer retention rate.

 

American Home Shield’s Operating Performance increased $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. A $5.4 million increase in tax related reserves was recorded in the second quarter of 2012. The offsetting $2.5 million decrease primarily reflects the impact of lower operating revenue, investments to drive improvements in service delivery and higher sales and marketing costs.

 

American Home Shield is investing in a new operating system that is designed to improve customer relationship management capabilities and enhance our operations. The development has taken longer than anticipated, which has resulted in delays in our implementation. We expect to continue to incur capitalizable and non-capitalizable technology charges through the final implementation date but do not expect these charges to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The operating revenue results reflect a decrease due to differences between years in the timing of contract claims, offset, in part, by improved price realization and a 0.7 percent increase in average customer counts. American Home Shield recognizes revenue over the contract period in proportion to expected direct costs. Absolute customer counts as of June 30, 2013 increased 2.1 percent compared to June 30, 2012 driven by an increase in new unit sales, offset, in part, by a 60 bps decrease in the customer retention rate.

A $3.3 million reduction in tax related reserves was recorded in the first six months of 2013, and a $5.4 million increase in tax related reserves was recorded in the first six months of 2012. The offsetting $10.0 million decrease primarily reflects the impact of lower operating revenue and investments to drive improvements in service delivery, offset, in part, by a favorable adjustment to reserves for prior year contract claims.

 

ServiceMaster Clean Segment

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

The ServiceMaster Clean segment, which provides residential and commercial disaster restoration, janitorial and cleaning services through franchises primarily under the ServiceMaster, ServiceMaster Restore and ServiceMaster Clean brand names, on-site wood furniture repair and restoration services primarily under the Furniture Medic brand name and home inspection services primarily under the AmeriSpec brand name, reported a 12.0 percent increase in operating revenue, a 47.0 percent increase in operating income and a 37.3 percent increase in Operating Performance for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012.

Other Operations and Headquarters Segment

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

This segment includes the franchised and Company-owned operations of Merry Maids, SMAC and the Company’s headquarters functions. The segment reported a 4.5 percent increase in operating revenue, a 26.1 percent increase in operating loss and a 55.1 percent decrease in Operating Performance for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012.

6.6 percent increase in average customer counts and improved price realization, offset, in part, by a decline in the frequency of services provided for existing customers. Absolute customer counts as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 increased 4.8 percent driven by a 210 bps increase in the customer retention rate and an increase in acquisitions, offset, in part, by a decrease in new unit sales. Royalty fees, which were 19 percent of Merry Maids’ operating revenue in the second quarter of 2013, were comparable to 2012. Sales of products to franchisees, which were 6 percent of Merry Maids’ operating revenue in the second quarter of 2013, increased 5.1 percent compared to 2012, driven by higher sales of equipment and cleaning supplies.

 

Merry Maids’ Operating Performance for the second quarter of 2013 was comparable to the second quarter of 2012, which primarily reflects the impact of higher operating revenue, offset, in part, by higher technology costs related to a new operating system.

 

The Operating Performance of the Company’s headquarters functions and SMAC decreased $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012. Key executive transition charges of $6.1 million and $0.1 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, which included recruiting costs and a signing bonus related to the hiring of Robert J. Gillette, our new CEO, separation charges related to the resignation of Harry J. Mullany III, our former CEO, and recruiting costs and signing bonuses related to the hiring of other key executives. Additionally, a $4.0 million reversal of reserves related to our medical program was recorded in the second quarter of 2012 for which there was no similar reversal recorded in the segment in the second quarter of 2013. The remaining $2.0 million decrease primarily reflects higher expenses in our automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance program.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities from Continuing Operations

 

Net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations decreased $15.2 million to $79.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $94.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was comprised of $90.6 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges, offset, in part, by a $5.3 million increase in cash required for working capital and $5.9 million in cash payments related to restructuring charges. The increase in working capital requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was driven primarily by normal seasonal activity, offset, in part, by increased accruals for compensation and insurance related payments.

 

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was comprised of $188.8 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $3.0 million in premiums received on issuance of the 8% 2020 Notes, offset, in part, by a $57.6 million increase in cash required for working capital, $32.3 million in cash payments for the call premium paid on the redemption of $600 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2015 Notes and $7.3 million in cash payments related to restructuring charges. The increase in working capital requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was driven primarily by seasonal activity and incentive compensation payments related to 2011 performance.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities from Continuing Operations

 

Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations was $71.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $74.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Capital expenditures decreased to $38.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $48.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and included recurring capital needs and information technology projects, including a new operating system and telecommunications infrastructure at TruGreen and a new operating system at American Home Shield. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for the full year 2013 will range from $85.0 million to $95.0 million, reflecting recurring needs and the continuation of investments in information systems and productivity enhancing technology including new operating systems at TruGreen, American Home Shield and Merry Maids. The Company fulfilled its vehicle fleet needs through vehicle capital leases in 2012 and the first six months of 2013 and expects to fulfill its ongoing vehicle fleet needs in the same manner. The Company has no additional material capital commitments at this time.

 

Cash payments for acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $5.6 million, compared with $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Consideration paid for tuck-in acquisitions consisted of cash payments and debt payable to sellers. The Company expects to continue its tuck-in acquisition program at levels consistent with prior periods.

 

Cash flows used for notes receivable from affiliate reflect the amount outstanding under the revolving promissory note with Holdings. See Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities from Continuing Operations

 

Net cash used for financing activities from continuing operations was $44.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $45.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company made scheduled principal payments on long-term debt of $24.0 million and made payments on other long-term financing obligations of $3.5 million. Additionally, the Company borrowed an incremental $0.9 million, paid $12.2 million in original issue discount and paid debt issuance costs of $5.6 million as part of the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 8% 2020 Notes and used the proceeds, together with available cash, to redeem $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2015 Notes, made scheduled principal payments on long-term debt of $29.6 million, made payments on other long-term financing obligations of $3.4 million and paid debt issuance costs of $12.7 million related to the sale of the 8% 2020 Notes.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company is highly leveraged, and a substantial portion of the Company’s liquidity needs are due to service requirements on indebtedness and from funding the Company’s operations, working capital and capital expenditures. The agreements governing the Term Facilities, the 2020 Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility contain covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, repurchase debt, incur liens, sell assets, make certain payments (including dividends) and enter into transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under these agreements that were in effect on such date.

 

The Company’s ongoing liquidity needs are expected to be funded by cash on hand, net cash provided by operating activities and, as required, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. We expect that cash provided from operations and available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will provide sufficient funds to operate our business, make expected capital expenditures and meet our liquidity requirements for the following 12 months, including payment of interest and principal on our debt. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $447.7 million of remaining capacity available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Effective July 25, 2013, the Company has available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of $324.2 million. The Company’s borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will decrease to $265.2 million beginning July 25, 2014.

 

Cash and Marketable Securities

 

Cash and short- and long-term marketable securities totaled $545.0 million as of June 30, 2013, compared with $568.5 million as of December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $277.5 million and $243.7 million, respectively, of the cash and short- and long-term marketable securities balances were associated with regulatory requirements at American Home Shield and for other purposes. Such amounts are identified as being potentially unavailable to be paid to the Company by its subsidiaries. American Home Shield’s investment portfolio has been invested in a combination of high-quality, short-duration fixed-income securities and equities. The Company closely monitors the performance of the investments. From time to time, the Company reviews the statutory reserve requirements to which its regulated entities are subject and any changes to such requirements. These reviews may result in identifying current reserve levels above or below minimum statutory reserve requirements, in which case the Company may adjust its reserves. The reviews may also identify opportunities to satisfy certain regulatory reserve requirements through alternate financial vehicles.

 

Fleet and Equipment Financing Arrangements

 

A portion of the Company’s vehicle fleet and some equipment are leased through month-to-month operating leases, cancelable at the Company’s option. There are residual value guarantees by the Company (which approximated 84 percent of the estimated terminal value at the inception of the lease) relative to these vehicles and equipment, which historically have not resulted in significant net payments to the lessors. The fair value of the assets under all of the fleet and equipment leases is expected to substantially mitigate the Company’s guarantee obligations under the agreements. As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s residual value guarantees related to the leased assets totaled $15.4 million for which the Company has recorded as a liability the estimated fair value of these guarantees of $0.2 million in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

 

The Company has entered into the Fleet Agreement. The Company expects to fulfill substantially all of its vehicle fleet needs in 2013 through the leasing program under the Fleet Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company acquired $31.8 million of vehicles under the Fleet Agreement leasing program. All leases under the Fleet Agreement are capital leases for accounting purposes. The lease rental payments include an interest component calculated using a variable rate based on one-month

LIBOR plus other contractual adjustments and a borrowing margin totaling 2.45%. The Company has no minimum commitment for the number of vehicles to be obtained under the Fleet Agreement. The Company anticipates that new lease financings under the Fleet Agreement for the full year 2013 will range from $45.0 million to $55.0 million.

 

Under the terms of its fuel swap contracts, the Company is required to post collateral in the event that the fair value of the contracts exceeds a certain agreed upon liability level and in other circumstances required by the counterparty. As of June 30, 2013, the estimated fair value of the Company’s fuel swap contracts was a net liability of $0.1 million, and the Company had posted $2.5 million in letters of credit as collateral under its fuel hedging program, none of which were issued under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. The continued use of letters of credit for this purpose could limit the Company’s ability to post letters of credit for other purposes and could limit the Company’s borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. However, the Company does not expect the fair value of its outstanding fuel swap contracts to materially impact its financial position or liquidity.

 

Term Facilities

 

On February 22, 2013, the Company entered into the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment to amend the Credit Agreement primarily to extend the maturity date of a portion of the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment, the maturity of the outstanding Tranche A loans was extended, and such loans were converted into Tranche C loans. The maturity date for the new Tranche C loans is January 31, 2017. The interest rates applicable to the Tranche C loans under the Term Loan Facility are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either, at the Company’s option, (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate (adjusted for maximum reserves) plus 3.25 percent, with a minimum adjusted London inter-bank offered rate of 1.00 percent or (ii) an alternate base rate plus 2.25 percent, with a minimum alternate base rate of 2.00 percent. As part of the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment, the Company paid an original issue discount equal to 1.00 percent of the outstanding borrowings, or $12.2 million. Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Tranche C Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, except for a 1.00 percent premium payable in connection with certain repricing transactions within the first year.

 

As a result of the 2012 Term Loan Facility Amendment and the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment, the Company has, as of June 30, 2013, approximately $2.198 billion of outstanding borrowings maturing January 31, 2017, after including the unamortized portion of the original issue discount paid. Additionally, following the 2012 Term Loan Facility Amendment and the 2013 Term Loan Facility Amendment the availability under the synthetic letter of credit facility will be reduced from the current availability of $137.6 million to $77.9 million as of July 24, 2014. The remaining $77.9 million of availability under the synthetic letter of credit will mature January 31, 2017.

 

Senior Notes

 

In August 2012, the Company sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, $750 million aggregate principal amount of 7% 2020 Notes. In connection with the issuance of the 7% 2020 Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement with respect to the resale of the 7% 2020 Notes, which was declared effective on April 18, 2013. The 7% 2020 Notes will mature on August 15, 2020 and bear interest at a rate of 7 percent per annum. The 7% 2020 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The Company used a majority of the proceeds from the 7% 2020 Notes to redeem the remaining $396 million aggregate principal amount of its 2015 Notes and to repay $276 million of outstanding borrowings under its Term Facilities during the third quarter of 2012.

 

Accounts Receivable Securitization

 

The Company has an accounts receivable securitization arrangement under which Terminix and TruGreen may sell certain eligible trade accounts receivable to Funding, the Company’s wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which is consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Funding, in turn, may transfer, on a revolving basis, an undivided percentage ownership interest of up to $50.0 million in the pool of accounts receivable to one or both of the Purchasers. The amount of the eligible receivables varies during the year based on seasonality of the businesses and could, at times, limit the amount available to the Company from the sale of these interests. As of June 30, 2013, the amount of eligible receivables was approximately $46.4 million.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no transfers of interests in the pool of trade accounts receivable to Purchasers under this arrangement. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $10.0 million outstanding under the arrangement and, as of June 30, 2013, had $36.4 million of remaining capacity available under the accounts receivable securitization arrangement.

 

The accounts receivable securitization arrangement is a 364-day facility scheduled to mature on October 23, 2013. Unless the arrangement is renegotiated or extended prior to its expiration, all obligations under the accounts receivable securitization arrangement must be repaid by October 23, 2013.

Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries

 

As a holding company, we depend on our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us so that we may pay our obligations and expenses, including our debt service obligations. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions and dividends to us depends on their operating results, cash requirements and financial condition and general business conditions, as well as restrictions under the laws of their jurisdictions.

 

The payment of ordinary and extraordinary dividends by the Company’s subsidiaries that are regulated as an insurance, home warranty, service contract or similar company is subject to applicable state law limitations. Insurance subsidiaries and home warranty and similar subsidiaries (through which ServiceMaster conducts its American Home Shield business) are subject to significant regulatory restrictions under the laws and regulations of the states in which they operate. Among other things, such laws and regulations require certain such subsidiaries to maintain minimum capital and net worth requirements and may limit the amount of ordinary and extraordinary dividends and other payments that these subsidiaries can pay to ServiceMaster. For example, certain states prohibit payment by these subsidiaries to ServiceMaster of dividends in excess of 10% of their capital as of the most recent year end, as determined in accordance with prescribed insurance accounting practices in those states. Of the $277.5 million as of June 30, 2013, which we identify as being potentially unavailable to be paid to the Company by its subsidiaries, approximately $227.3 million is held by our home warranty and insurance subsidiaries and is subject to these regulatory limitations on the payment of funds to us. Such limitations will be in effect through the end of 2013, and we expect similar limitations will be in effect in 2014. The remainder of the $277.5 million, or $50.2 million, is related to amounts that the Company’s management does not consider readily available to be used to service indebtedness due, among other reasons, to the Company’s cash management practices and working capital needs at various subsidiaries. None of the subsidiaries of ServiceMaster are obligated to make funds available to ServiceMaster through the payment of dividends.

 

We consider undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013, to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. income taxes have been provided thereon. The amount of cash associated with indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings was approximately $27.8 million and $28.7 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We have not repatriated, nor do we anticipate the need to repatriate, funds to the United States to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The 2012 Form 10-K includes disclosure of the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2012. The Company continues to make the contractually required payments, and, therefore, the 2013 obligations and commitments as listed in the 2012 Form 10-K have been reduced by the required payments. Other than the debt transactions discussed above in “Term Facilities”, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in the Company’s previously disclosed contractual obligations and commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has off-balance sheet arrangements in the form of guarantees as discussed in Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Disclosure under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act

 

Under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act as added by the Iran Threat Reduction and Syrian Human Rights Act of 2012, we are required to include certain disclosures in our periodic reports if we or any of our “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 thereunder) knowingly engage in certain activities specified in Section 13(r) during the period covered by the report.  Because the SEC defines the term “affiliate” broadly, it includes any entity that controls us or is under common control with us (“control” is also construed broadly by the SEC).  Our affiliate, CD&R, has informed us that an indirect subsidiary of SPIE S.A. (“SPIE”), an affiliate of CD&R based in France, maintained bank accounts during the period covered by this report at Bank Melli with the approval of the French financial regulator (applying European Union law) and, since May 21, 2013, with the approval of the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”).  Bank Melli is an Iranian bank designated under Executive Order No. 13382.  We had no knowledge of or control over the activities of SPIE or its subsidiaries.  CD&R has informed us that the SPIE subsidiary has not used the accounts during the period covered by this report, that SPIE and its subsidiaries obtained no revenue or profit from the maintenance of these accounts, that CD&R and SPIE have disclosed past transactions in the accounts to OFAC, that SPIE and its subsidiaries intended to comply with all applicable laws, and that SPIE and its subsidiaries intend to conduct only such transactions and dealings with Bank Melli in the future as are authorized by the applicable French governmental authority and OFAC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manages this exposure through the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swap contracts. The Company does not enter into these contracts for trading or speculative purposes. In the Company’s opinion, the market risk associated with debt obligations and other significant instruments as of June 30, 2013 has not materially changed from December 31, 2012 (see Item 7A of the 2012 Form 10-K).

 

Fuel Price Risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in fuel prices through the consumption of fuel by its vehicle fleet in the delivery of services to its customers. The Company uses approximately 20 million gallons of fuel on an annual basis. A ten percent change in fuel prices would result in a change of approximately $6.9 million in the Company’s annual fuel cost before considering the impact of fuel swap contracts.

 

The Company uses fuel swap contracts to mitigate the financial impact of fluctuations in fuel prices. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had fuel swap contracts to pay fixed prices for fuel with an aggregate notional amount of $48.7 million, maturing through 2014. The estimated fair value of these contracts as of June 30, 2013 was a net liability of $0.1 million. These fuel swap contracts provide a fixed price for approximately 57 percent and 39 percent of the Company’s estimated fuel usage for the remainder of 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. ServiceMaster’s CEO, Robert J. Gillette, and ServiceMaster’s Senior Vice President, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, David W. Martin, have evaluated ServiceMaster’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Messrs. Gillette and Martin have concluded that both the design and operation of ServiceMaster’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. No change in ServiceMaster’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the second quarter of 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ServiceMaster’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the ordinary course of conducting business activities, the Company and its subsidiaries become involved in judicial, administrative and regulatory proceedings involving both private parties and governmental authorities. These proceedings include insured and uninsured matters that are brought on an individual, collective, representative and class action basis, or other proceedings involving regulatory, employment, general and commercial liability, automobile liability, wage and hour, environmental and other matters. The Company has entered into settlement agreements in certain cases, including with respect to putative collective and class actions, which are subject to court or other approvals. If one or more of the Company’s settlements are not finally approved, the Company could have additional or different exposure, which could be material. At this time, the Company does not expect any of these proceedings to have a material effect on its reputation, business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, the Company can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect its reputation, business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

On August 13, 2013, Holdings and Mr. Gillette entered into an amendment to his employment agreement that extends the date whereby Mr. Gillette would purchase $1.5 million worth of Holdings’ common stock from August 16, 2013 until September 30, 2013, at a price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of Holdings’ common stock on the date of purchase.
