Insights

Solid Q2 growth, strong cash flow, outlook intact.

ABM delivered Q2 2026 revenue of $2.29 billion, up 8.4%, with standout growth in Technical Solutions and Aviation. Net income ticked up to $43.1 million, while adjusted EBITDA rose to $131.7 million, showing resilient profitability despite higher interest and amortization.

Free cash flow improved to $22.4 million, supporting leverage of 3.2x on $1.9 billion of total debt and ample liquidity of $613.8 million. The Board’s $0.29 dividend and ongoing buybacks underscore continued capital returns alongside investment in WGNSTAR and technology initiatives.

Management reaffirmed fiscal 2026 guidance, targeting organic revenue growth near the top of 3%–4%, total growth near 4%–5%, segment margins around 7.8%–8.0%, and adjusted EPS of $3.85–$4.15. Interest expense is forecast at about $110 million with a normalized tax rate of 29%–30%. Subsequent filings may update progress toward the sub-3.0x leverage goal.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA increased to $131.7 million, versus $125.9 million last year"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"Operating cash flow was $66.2 million and free cash flow totaled $22.4 million"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
segment operating margin financial
"Segment operating margin was 7.3% compared to 7.9% last year"
Segment operating margin measures how much profit a specific part of a company keeps from its sales after paying the costs to run that part, expressed as a percentage. Investors use it like a slice-size indicator to compare which divisions are more efficient at turning revenue into operating profit, helping spot strengths, weaknesses, and where management might focus resources or improvements.
items impacting comparability financial
"Adjusted results exclude items impacting comparability"
enterprise resource planning technical
"advancements in the Company’s enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) implementation during the quarter"
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a comprehensive software system that helps organizations manage and coordinate their core activities—such as finance, supply chain, human resources, and manufacturing—within a single platform. It streamlines operations by providing real-time information, enabling better decision-making. For investors, ERP systems indicate how efficiently a company runs and can signal its ability to adapt and grow in a competitive market.

ABM REPORTS FISCAL SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS AND REAFFIRMS FISCAL 2026 ADJUSTED EPS OUTLOOK

 

Revenue increased 8.4% to a second quarter record of $2.3 billion, including organic growth of 6.1% and acquisition growth of 2.3%
Record first half new sales bookings of $1.2 billion
Net income improved to $43.1 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, as compared to $42.2 million, or $0.67, in the prior year
Adjusted net income was $52.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, versus $54.1 million, or $0.86, in the prior year
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $131.7 million, versus $125.9 million last year
Operating cash flow was $66.2 million and free cash flow totaled $22.4 million, both well above the prior year

 

NEW YORK, NY - June 5, 2026 - ABM (NYSE: ABM), a leading provider of facility, engineering and infrastructure solutions, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended April 30, 2026.

 

"Our second quarter performance was highlighted by organic revenue growth of 6.1% and record first half new sales bookings of $1.2 billion," said Scott Salmirs, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Organic growth was especially strong in Technical Solutions ("ATS") and Aviation. Manufacturing & Distribution's ("M&D") robust growth was driven by healthy organic demand, further boosted by our recent WGNSTAR acquisition, which is performing well and contributing meaningfully to growth. The investments we have made in organic growth and acquisitions, along with our healthy backlog and constructive end-market conditions, have positioned us well for a strong second half."

 

Mr. Salmirs continued, "Beyond the top line, we executed well in the quarter, resulting in improved margin on a sequential basis and continued solid free cash flow generation, which was up significantly in the first half versus last year. Looking to the second half, we expect meaningfully higher volume in ATS and M&D, as well as improved service mix, especially within ATS. We also expect to benefit from our ongoing cost savings and pricing initiatives. Combined, these factors are expected to drive significant improvement in earnings and margin in the back half of the year."

 

Mr. Salmirs concluded, "We are encouraged by constructive demand trends across the majority of our end markets, and remain focused on executing with discipline as the broader macroeconomic environment continues to evolve. As such, our fiscal 2026 outlook remains unchanged."

 

 

Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

 

Revenue increased 8.4% year over year to a second quarter record of $2.3 billion, including 6.1% organic growth and 2.3% growth from acquisitions. Revenue growth was led by ATS and Aviation,

1


 

which grew 27% and 20%, respectively. ATS benefited from strong demand for battery energy storage systems and datacenter-related services, as well as contributions from its recent acquisition, while Aviation’s growth reflected healthy domestic air travel trends and the continued ramp of new contracts, including the recently won London Heathrow contract. M&D increased 17%, driven by acquisitions, recent client wins and ongoing expansions, while Education delivered growth of 2%, benefiting from price escalations. Business & Industry (“B&I”) was essentially flat, as strong growth in its UK operations was largely offset by the exit of certain clients.

 

Net income was $43.1 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to $42.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The increase in net income primarily reflects lower tax expense and reduced corporate costs, partially offset by higher interest and amortization expense related to the WGNSTAR acquisition. EPS growth was further driven by the Company’s share repurchase activities earlier in the year. Net income margin was 1.9% versus 2.0% in the prior year.

 

Segment operating margin was 7.3% compared to 7.9% last year. The change in segment operating margin was driven mainly by the impact of newer contracts that came online last year in M&D and B&I, as well as by weather-related and ramp-up cost inefficiencies in Aviation.

 

Adjusted net income was $52.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to $54.1 million, or $0.86 per diluted share in the prior year period. The year-over-year change primarily reflects the factors discussed above, with per share results benefiting from the Company's share repurchase activities.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $131.7 million versus $125.9 million last year.

 

Adjusted results exclude items impacting comparability. A description of items impacting comparability can be found in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $66.2 million, and free cash flow was $22.4 million, compared to $32.3 million and $15.2 million, respectively, in the prior year period. The improvement year over year primarily reflects strong working capital management and ongoing advancements in the Company’s enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) implementation during the quarter. A reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow can be found in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table.

 

Leverage & Liquidity

 

At the end of the second quarter, the Company’s total indebtedness stood at $1.9 billion, including $23.5 million in standby letters of credit, resulting in a total leverage ratio of 3.2x, as defined by the Company's credit facility. Available liquidity was $613.8 million, including $94.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company expects its total leverage ratio to be below 3.0x by fiscal year-end.

 

Quarterly Cash Dividend

 

After the quarter’s close, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.29 per common share, payable on August 3, 2026, to shareholders of record on July 2, 2026.

Outlook

 

The Company is reaffirming its fiscal 2026 outlook with the following updates. The Company now expects organic revenue growth toward the top end of the 3% to 4% range and total revenue growth toward the top end of the 4% to 5% range. Segment operating margin, defined as total segment operating profit divided by total revenue, is projected toward the low end of the 7.8% to 8.0% range, and adjusted EPS is still expected to be in the range of $3.85 to $4.15. This outlook now reflects the Company's updated approach to providing full year adjusted EPS guidance, which no longer excludes the impact of any prior-year self-insurance adjustments.

 

Interest expense is now forecast to be approximately $110 million, and the normalized tax rate is expected to be between 29% and 30%, excluding discrete and non-taxable items.

 

The Company cannot provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP segment operating margin or adjusted EPS to the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing and the magnitude of items such as acquisition and integration related costs, legal costs and other settlements. These items are inherently difficult to forecast and may result in a GAAP range that is too large and variable to be meaningful.

This press release contains both historical and forward-looking statements about ABM Industries Incorporated (“ABM”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “ABM,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”). We make forward-looking statements related to future expectations, estimates and projections that are uncertain, and often contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “predict,” “should,” “target,” or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. For us, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed in our forward-looking statements include: our success depends on our ability to gain profitable business despite competitive market pressures; our results of operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases; we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel and senior management we need to support our business; investments in and changes to our businesses, operating structure, or personnel relating to our strategic initiatives, including the implementation of strategic transformations, enhanced business processes, and technology initiatives may not have the desired effects on our financial condition and results of operations; our ability to preserve long-term client relationships is essential to our continued success; our use of subcontractors or joint venture partners to perform work under customer contracts exposes us to liability and financial risk; our international business involves risks different from those we face in the United States that could have an effect on our results of operations and financial condition; decreases in commercial office space utilization due to hybrid work models and increases in office vacancy rates could adversely affect our financial condition; negative changes in general economic conditions, such as recessionary pressures, high interest rates, durable and non-durable goods pricing, changes in energy prices, or changes in consumer goods pricing, could reduce the demand for services and, as a result, reduce our revenue and earnings and adversely affect our financial condition; we may experience breaches of, or disruptions to, our information technology systems or those of our third-party providers or clients, or other compromises of our data that could adversely affect our business; our ongoing implementation of new enterprise resource planning and related boundary systems could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and report our financial results; acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions could fail to achieve financial or strategic objectives, disrupt our ongoing business, and adversely impact our results of operations; we may not realize the growth opportunities and synergies that are anticipated from the WGNSTAR acquisition; we manage our insurable risks through a combination of third-party purchased policies and self-insurance, and we retain a substantial portion of the risk associated with expected losses under these programs, which exposes us to volatility associated with those risks, including the possibility that changes in estimates to our ultimate insurance loss reserves could result in material charges against our earnings; our risk management and safety programs may not have the intended effect of reducing our liability for personal injury or property loss; unfavorable developments in our class and representative actions and other lawsuits alleging various claims could cause us to incur substantial liabilities; we are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, which could limit our profitability by increasing the costs of legal and regulatory compliance; a significant number of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements that could expose us to potential liabilities in relation to our participation in multiemployer pension plans, requirements to make contributions to other benefit plans, and the potential for strikes, work slowdowns or similar activities, and union organizing drives; our business may be materially affected by changes to fiscal and tax policies; negative or unexpected tax consequences could adversely affect our results of operations; future

increases in the level of our borrowings and interest rates could affect our results of operations; impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations; if we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be negatively impacted, which could harm our operating results and investor perceptions of our Company and as a result may have a material adverse effect on the value of our common stock; our business may be negatively impacted by adverse weather conditions; catastrophic events, disasters, pandemics, and terrorist attacks could disrupt our services; and actions of activist investors could disrupt our business. For additional information on these and other risks and uncertainties we face, see ABM’s risk factors, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. We urge readers to consider these risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

To supplement ABM’s consolidated financial information, the Company has presented net income and net income per diluted share as adjusted for items impacting comparability for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025. These adjustments have been made with the intent of providing financial measures that give management and investors a better understanding of the underlying operational results and trends as well as ABM’s operational performance. In addition, the Company has presented earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excluding items impacting comparability (adjusted EBITDA) for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is among the indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. The Company also presents total segment operating profit, which is the sum of the segment operating profit of each of its segments, and total segment operating margin, defined as total segment operating profit divided by total revenue, because management believes they are useful as they represent the aggregate value of income/profit created by its segments and exclude items not directly related to the segments for performance evaluation purposes. The Company has also presented Free Cash Flow which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. (See accompanying financial tables for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to certain GAAP financial measures.)

We round amounts to millions but calculate all percentages and per-share data from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. As a result, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot, or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding. Unless otherwise noted, all references to years are to our fiscal year, which ends on October 31.

(a) The Company adjusts income to exclude the impact of certain items that are unusual, non-recurring, or otherwise do not reflect management's views of the underlying operational results and trends of the Company.

 

(b) After communications with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have revised the definition of our non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA, to no longer exclude the positive or negative impact of “prior year self-insurance adjustments”. Prior year self-insurance adjustments reflect the net changes to our self-insurance reserves for our general liability, workers’ compensation, automobile, and health insurance programs, related to claims from incidents that occurred in previous years. This definitional change has been applied to second quarter 2026 and first six months of 2026 results and retroactively to all presented periods to ensure comparability.

 

(c) Represents costs associated with restructuring program to further streamline our operations and improve the efficiency of our support functions.

 

(d) Represents acquisition and integration related costs associated with recent acquisitions.

 

(e) Represents discrete transformational costs that primarily consist of general and administrative costs for developing technological needs and alternatives, project management, testing, training and data conversion, consulting and professional fees for i) new enterprise resource planning system, ii) client facing technology, iii) workforce management tools and iv) data analytics. These costs are not expected to recur beyond the deployment of these initiatives.

 

(f) Three and six months ended April 30, 2025 include a parking tax audit settlement related to prior years.

 

(g) The Company's tax impact is calculated using the federal and state statutory rate of 27.72% and 28.11% for FY2026 and FY2025, respectively. We calculate tax from the underlying whole-dollar amounts, as a result, certain amounts may not recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.
