NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

ABM is a leading provider of integrated facility services with a mission to make a difference, every person, every day. We are organized into four industry groups andone Technical Solutions segment:

Through these groups, we offer janitorial, facilities engineering, parking, and specialized mechanical and electrical technical solutions, on a standalone basis or in combination with other services.

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of our management, our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to years are to our fiscal years, which end on October 31.

Rounding

We round amounts in the Financial Statements to millions and calculate all percentages and per-share data from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot, or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.

Management Reimbursement Revenue by Segment

We operate certain parking facilities under management reimbursement arrangements. Under these arrangements, we manage the parking facilities for management fees and pass through the revenues and expenses associated with the facilities to the owners. Under these contracts we recognize both revenues and expenses, in equal amounts, that are directly reimbursed from the property owner for operating expenses, as such expenses are incurred. Management reimbursement revenue for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, was $90.3 million and $270.8 million, respectively. Management reimbursement revenue for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025, was $88.7 million and $255.2 million, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

There were no recently adopted accounting standards during the nine months ended July 31, 2026.

  1. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of WGNSTAR

On February 4, 2026, we completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of WGNSTAR, a provider of managed workforce solutions and equipment support services for the semiconductor and high-technology industries across the United States and Ireland, for an aggregate purchase consideration of approximately $283.4 million (subject to customary adjustments). The purchase consideration included cash on hand, $20.0 million paid in 2025 to acquire a call option which was exercised upon acquisition, and $7.3 million payable inthree equal annual installments in October 2026, 2027 and 2028. We financed the acquisition with cash on hand and proceeds from a new incremental term loan. See Note 9, “Debt,” for further information.

Preliminary Acquisition Accounting

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition date fair values. The acquisition accounting is subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The final acquisition accounting may include changes to intangible assets, goodwill, deferred taxes, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, legal matters, and other accrued liabilities within the measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill arising from the WGNSTAR Acquisition is not deductible for tax reporting purposes.

The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition accounting based on currently available information:

(in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents14.1
Trade accounts receivable and other current assets26.3
Customer relationship intangibles and other intangible assets129.2
Goodwill149.7
Other noncurrent assets6.1
Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities(8.4)
Deferred income tax liability(31.7)
Other noncurrent liabilities(1.9)
Net assets acquired$283.4

Goodwill is largely attributable to value we expect to obtain from long-term business growth, the established workforce, and buyer-specific synergies.

The unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, include revenues of $40.4 million and $76.9 million, respectively, attributable to WGNSTAR, which are included in our Manufacturing & Distribution segment.

Acquisition of LMC

Effective June 1, 2025, we acquired LMC FM Limited (“LMC”), a Dublin-based facilities services company with coverage across Ireland, for a purchase price of approximately $22.0 million in cash plus the potential of $5.9 million of contingent consideration to be paid in calendar year 2027 upon the retention of the toptwo customers. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized on the date of acquisition at their estimated fair values, with the excess of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill isnot deductible for tax reporting purposes. At July 31, 2026, we recorded goodwill and intangibles of $14.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively. The total assets acquired, excluding goodwill and intangibles, and liabilities assumed amounted to $19.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively.

Acquisition of RavenVolt

On September 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all of the equity interests of RavenVolt, Inc. (“RavenVolt”), a nationwide provider of advanced turn-key microgrid systems utilized by diversified commercial and industrial customers, national retailers, utilities, and municipalities. RavenVolt’s operations are included within our Technical Solutions segment.

The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $170.0 million in cash at closing plus the potential of post-closing contingent consideration of up to $280.0 million. The estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration on the date of acquisition was $59.0 million. The post-closing contingent consideration would be payable in cash in calendar years 2024, 2025, and 2026 if RavenVolt’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the RavenVolt merger agreement, meets or exceeds certain defined targets.

In 2024, defined EBITDA targets were not achieved, and as a result, no contingent consideration payment was made in 2024 for calendar year 2023. At October 31, 2024, the estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration was $109.1 million. In the third quarter of 2025, we made a $75.0 million payment for calendar year 2024, of which $16.0 million was classified as an operating cash outflow.

At July 31, 2026, the value of the contingent consideration was $32.5 million, and there was no change since October 31, 2025.

  1. REVENUES

Disaggregation of Revenues

We generate revenues under several types of contracts, which are further explained below. Generally, the type of contract is determined by the nature of the services provided by each of our major service lines throughout our reportable segments; therefore, we disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers into major service lines. We have determined that disaggregating revenues into these categories best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Our reportable segments are B&I, M&D, Aviation, Education, and Technical Solutions, as described in Note 13, “Segment Information.”

(1) Janitorial arrangements provide a wide range of essential cleaning services for commercial office buildings, airports and other transportation centers, educational institutions, government buildings, health facilities, industrial buildings, retail stores, and stadiums and arenas. These arrangements are often structured as monthly fixed-price, square-foot, cost-plus, and work order contracts.

(2) Aviation Services arrangements support airlines and airports with services such as passenger assistance, catering logistics, and airplane cabin maintenance. These arrangements are often structured as monthly fixed-price, cost-plus, transaction price, and hourly contracts.

(3)Parking and Transportation arrangements provide parking and transportation services for clients at various locations, including airports and other transportation centers, commercial office buildings, educational institutions, health facilities, hotels, and stadiums and arenas. These arrangements are structured as management reimbursement, leased location, and allowance contracts. Certain of these arrangements are considered service concession agreements and are accounted for under the guidance of Topic 853; accordingly, service concession expense related to these arrangements is recorded as a reduction of the related parking service revenues.

(4)Operations and Maintenance arrangements provide onsite mechanical engineering and technical services and solutions relating to a broad range of facilities and infrastructure systems that are designed to extend the useful life of facility fixed assets, improve equipment operating efficiencies, reduce energy consumption, lower overall operational costs for clients, and enhance the sustainability of client locations. These arrangements are generally structured as monthly fixed-price, cost-plus, and work order contracts.

(5)Building & Energy Solutions arrangements provide custom energy solutions, including microgrid systems installation, electrical, HVAC, lighting, electric vehicle charging station installation, uninterrupted power supply services, and other general maintenance and repair services for clients in the public and private sectors and are generally structured as Energy Savings, Fixed-Price Repair, and Refurbishment contracts. We also franchise certain operations under franchise agreements relating to our Linc Network and TEGG brands pursuant to franchise contracts.

Contract Types

We have arrangements under various contract types, as described in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025.

Certain arrangements involve variable consideration (primarily per transaction fees, reimbursable expenses, and sales-based royalties). We do not estimate the variable consideration for these arrangements; rather, we recognize these variable fees as they are earned. Some of our contracts, often related to Airline Services, may also include performance incentives based on variable performance measures that are ascertained exclusively by future performance and therefore cannot be estimated at contract inception and are recognized as revenue once known and mutually agreed upon. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

The majority of our contracts include performance obligations that are primarily satisfied over time as we provide the related services. These contract types include: monthly fixed-price; square-foot; cost-plus; work orders; transaction-price; hourly; management reimbursement; leased location; allowance; energy savings contracts; and fixed-price repair and refurbishment contracts, as well as our franchise and royalty fee arrangements. We recognize revenue as the services are performed using a measure of progress that is determined by the contract type. Generally, most of our contracts are cancelable by either party without a substantive penalty, and the majority have a notification period of 30 to 90 days.

We primarily account for our performance obligations under the series guidance, using the as-invoiced practical expedient when applicable. We apply the as-invoiced practical expedient to record revenue as the services are provided, given the nature of the services provided and the frequency of billing under the customer contracts. Under this practical expedient, we recognize revenue in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date and for which we have the right to invoice the customer.

Remaining Performance Obligations

At July 31, 2026, performance obligations that were unsatisfied for which we expect to recognize revenue totaled $287.3 million. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 77% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter, based on our estimates of project timing.

These amounts exclude variable consideration primarily related to: (i) contr acts where we have determined that the contract consists of a series of distinct service periods, and revenues are based on future performance that cannot be estimated at contract inception; (ii) parking contracts where we and the customer share the gross revenues or operating profit for the location; and (iii) contracts where transaction prices include performance incentives that are based on future performance and therefore cannot be estimated at contract inception. For these contract types, we apply the practical expedient that permits exclusion of information about the remaining performance obligations with original expected durations of one year or less.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in contract assets and contract liabilities, as further explained below. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers.

Contract assets primarily consist of billed trade receivables, unbilled trade receivables, and costs incurred in excess of amounts billed. Billed and unbilled trade receivables represent amounts from work completed in which we have an unconditional right to bill our customer. Costs incurred in excess of amounts billed typically arise when the revenue recognized on projects exceeds the amount billed to the customer. These amounts are transferred to billed trade receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract assets also include the capitalization of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, primarily commissions. Commissions expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average expected customer relationship period.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. We generally classify contract liabilities as current since the related contracts are generally for a period of one year or less. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation.

The following tables present the balances in our contract assets and contract liabilities:

  1. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED COSTS

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we implemented a restructuring program (the “Restructuring Program”) to further streamline our operations and improve the efficiency of our support functions. This initiative is intended to enhance overall organizational effectiveness and ensure alignment between the Company’s cost structure and our strategic growth objectives. We recognized $28.0 million of cumulative restructuring charges under this program through the third quarter of 2026, which includes employee severance, asset impairment charges, and other related costs. We continue to review our overhead and cost structure for additional efficiency opportunities under this program. We expect these actions to be completed in 2026.

(1)Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value.

(2) Represents restricted deposits that are used to collateralize our insurance obligations and are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value. These insurance deposits are included in “Other noncurrent assets” on the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 8, “Insurance,” for further information.

(3) Represents investments held in a Rabbi trust associated with one of our deferred compensation plans, which we include in “Other noncurrent assets” on the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the assets held in the funded deferred compensation plan is based on quoted market prices.

(4) Represents gross outstanding borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility. Due to variable interest rates, the carrying value of outstanding borrowings under this facility approximates the fair value. See Note 9, “Debt,” for further information.

(5) Represents gross outstanding borrowings under our Receivables Financing Agreement. Due to variable interest rates, the carrying value of outstanding borrowings under this program approximates the fair value. See Note 9, “Debt,” for further information.

(6) Represents interest rate swap derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are estimated based on the present value of the difference between expected cash flows calculated at the contracted interest rates and the expected cash flows at current market interest rates using observable benchmarks for the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) forward rates at the end of the period. Our interest rate swap assets are included in “Other noncurrent assets,” and our interest rate swap liabilities are included in “Other current liabilities” on the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9, “Debt,” for further information. The majority of our interest rate swaps matured in June 2026.

(7)During the three months ended October 31, 2025, we purchased a $20.0 million call option to acquire an ownership interest in WGNSTAR. This acquisition has now been completed—refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions,” for further information. Our investments do not have a readily determinable fair value; therefore, we account for the investments using the measurement alternative under Topic 321 and measure the investments at initial cost plus or minus fair value adjustments if there are observable prices minus impairment, if any.

(8)Our contingent consideration payable related to the RavenVolt Acquisition is remeasured at each reporting date, based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The contingent consideration payment related to calendar year 2025, which is expected to be made in 2026, represents a Level 3 measurement at July 31, 2026, and at October 31, 2025, within the fair value hierarchy. After the acquisition date and until the contingency is resolved, the fair value of contingent consideration payable is adjusted each reporting period based primarily on the expected probability of achievement of the contingency targets, which are subject to our estimate. These changes in fair value are recognized within the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” of the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See Note 3, “Acquisitions,” for further information.

(9)The balance at July 31, 2026, and October 31, 2025, also includes the contingent consideration payable in calendar year 2027 related to the LMC Acquisition.

Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we are also required to measure certain items at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets can include: goodwill; intangible assets; property, plant and equipment; lease-related ROU assets; and long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when they are held for sale. If certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, then we would evaluate these non-financial assets for impairment. If an impairment were to occur, then the asset would be recorded at the estimated fair value, using primarily unobservable Level 3 inputs.

  1. INSURANCE

We use a combination of insured and self-insurance programs to cover workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, property damage, and other insurable risks. For the majority of these insurance programs, we retain the initial $1.0 million to $5.0 million of exposure on a per-occurrence basis, either through deductibles or self-insured retentions. Beyond the retained exposures, we have varying primary policy limits ranging between $1.0 million and $5.0 million per occurrence. To cover general liability and automobile liability losses above these primary limits, we maintain commercial umbrella insurance policies that provide aggregate limits of $200.0 million. Our insurance policies generally cover workers’ compensation losses to the full extent of statutory requirements. Additionally, to cover property damage risks above our retained limits, we maintain policies that provide per occurrence limits of $75.0 million. We are also self-insured for certain employee medical and dental plans. We maintain stop-loss insurance for our self-insured medical plan under which we retain up to $0.5 million of exposure on a per-participant, per-year basis with respect to claims.

We maintain our reserves for workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and property damage insurance claims based upon known trends and events and the actuarial estimates of required reserves considering the most recently completed actuarial reports. We use all available information to develop our best estimate of insurance claims reserves as information is obtained. The results of actuarial reviews are used to estimate our insurance rates and insurance reserves.

Interim Review Performed During 2026

We review our self-insurance liabilities on a regular basis and adjust our accruals accordingly. Actual claims activity or development may vary from our assumptions and estimates, which may result in material losses or gains. As we obtain additional information that affects the assumptions and estimates used in our reserve liability calculations, we adjust our self-insurance rates and reserves for future periods and, if appropriate, adjust our reserves for claims incurred in prior accounting periods.

During the third quarter of 2026, we performed a review of the majority of our casualty insurance programs that considered changes in claims development and claims payment activity through July 31, 2026. Based on the results of the review, it was determined that there wasno adjustment required for our total reserves related to prior years during the nine months ended July 31, 2026. During the nine months ended July 31, 2025, based on the results of the actuarial review, we made an insignificant adjustment to our total reserves for known claims as well as our estimate of the loss amounts associated with incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR claims”).

(1)At July 31, 2026, and October 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings, not including letters of credit and swaps, was 5.53% and 5.84%, respectively.

(2)At July 31, 2026, we had borrowing capacity of $495.3 million.

(3) At July 31, 2026, standby letters of credit amounted to $22.4 million.

On September 1, 2017, we refinanced and replaced our then-existing $800.0 million credit facility with a new senior, secured five-year syndicated credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $900.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and an $800.0 million amortizing term loan, both of which were scheduled to mature on September 1, 2022. In accordance with terms of the Credit Facility, the revolver was reduced to $800.0 million on September 1, 2018. The Credit Facility was amended on June 28, 2021, to increase the capacity of the Revolver and term loan to $1.3 billion and $650 million, respectively, and to extend the maturity to June 28, 2026. It was further amended on November 1, 2022, to transition the benchmark interest rate from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).

On February 26, 2025, we amended and restated the Credit Facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”), extending the maturity date to February 26, 2030, and increasing the capacity of the revolving credit facility from $1.3 billion to $1.6 billion and the then-remaining term loan outstanding from $528.1 million to $600.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility provides for the issuance of up to $250.0 million for standby letters of credit and the issuance of up to $100.0 million in swingline advances. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin that varies based on ABM’s total net leverage ratio plus Term SOFR. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Facility, ABM will also pay a commitment fee based on the total net leverage ratio, payable quarterly in arrears, ranging from 0.20% to 0.40%. The obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are guaranteed by the material, domestic wholly owned subsidiaries of ABM and are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of ABM and the guarantors, including a pledge of the capital stock of the wholly owned domestic subsidiaries held by ABM and the guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries held by ABM and the guarantors, in each case subject to exceptions. Additionally, we may repay amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Facility at any time without penalty.

The Amended Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including a maximum total net leverage ratio of 5.00 to 1.00, a maximum secured net leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00, as well as other financial and non-financial covenants. In the event of a material acquisition, as defined in the Amended Credit Facility, we may elect to increase the maximum total net leverage ratio to 5.50 to 1.00 for a total of four fiscal quarters and increase the maximum secured net leverage ratio to 4.50 to 1.00 for a total of four fiscal quarters. Our borrowing capacity is subject to, and limited by, compliance with the covenants described above. At July 31, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The Amended Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, including: failure to pay principal, interest, or fees when due; failure to comply with covenants; the occurrence of certain material judgments; and a change in control of the Company. If certain events of default occur, including certain cross-defaults, insolvency, change in control, or violation of specific covenants, then the lenders can terminate or suspend our access to the Amended Credit Facility, declare all amounts outstanding (including all accrued interest and unpaid fees) to be immediately due and payable, and require that we cash collateralize the outstanding standby letters of credit.

We incurred deferred financing costs of $8.0 million in conjunction with the execution of the Amended Credit Facility and carried over $2.9 million of unamortized deferred financing costs from initial execution and previous amendments of the Credit Facility. Total deferred financing costs of $10.9 million, consisting of $3.0 million related to the term loan and $7.9 million related to the Revolver, are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Amended Credit Facility.

On February 3, 2026, we entered into the First Amendment to the Amended Credit Facility to provide for a new incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $255.0 million (the “First Incremental Term Loan”). The terms and conditions that apply to the First Incremental Term Loan are substantially the same as the terms and conditions that apply to the other term loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility. No amounts under the Amended Credit Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the First Incremental Term Loan.

On July 28, 2026, we entered into a trade receivables financing agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) involving several of our wholly owned subsidiaries and certain financial institutions. The Receivables Financing Agreement provides for a maximum revolving borrowing amount of $300.0 million and expires on July 27, 2029. Under the arrangement, certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries sell a portfolio of eligible U.S. trade accounts receivable and related rights to our wholly owned subsidiary, ABM Receivables, LLC, a consolidated and bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity. Eligible receivables sold to ABM Receivables, LLC are pledged as collateral for borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement and are subject to a security interest in favor of the participating institutions. The borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement bear interest at a rate of Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.00% based on ABM’s total net leverage ratio, payable monthly in arrears. The arrangement also provides for an undrawn fee of 0.35% on unused commitments.

The Receivables Financing Agreement transaction does not qualify as a sale of assets under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and as a result, is accounted for as a secured borrowing. Accordingly, receivables used to secure the borrowings are presented as trade accounts receivable, net, and borrowings are presented as long-term debt, net, on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash receipts from customers related to the underlying receivables are reflected as operating activities, while borrowings and repayments under the Receivables Financing Agreement are reflected as financing activities in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

At July 31, 2026, the total amount of receivables pledged as collateral under the Receivables Financing Agreement was $402.4 million, and the total amount of outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement was $300.0 million.

Long-Term Debt Maturities

During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, we made principal payments under the term loan of $36.4 million. At July 31, 2026, the following principal payments are required under the terms of the long-term debt:

Debt maturities$10.7$42.8$42.8$342.8$1,339.7

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to fix the variable interest rates on portions of our debt. The purpose of using these derivatives is to reduce our exposure to the interest rate risk associated with variable borrowings. Under these agreements, we typically pay a fixed interest rate in exchange for a SOFR-based variable interest rate on a given notional amount. All of our interest rate swaps are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and are reclassified into earnings in the period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For information regarding the valuation of our interest rate swaps, see Note 7, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

Notional AmountFixed Interest RateEffective DateMaturity Date
$248.6 million(1)3.68%April 2, 2026February 26, 2030

(1) In April 2026, we entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $255.0 million, reducing by $3.2 million at the end of every quarter before maturing on February 26, 2030.

At July 31, 2026, and October 31, 2025, amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) for interest rate swaps were a gain of $1.6 million, net of taxes of $1.6 million, and a gain of $2.4 million, net of taxes of $1.9 million, respectively. At July 31, 2026, the total amount expected to be reclassified from AOCL to earnings during the next 12 months is a gain of $0.6 million, net of taxes of $0.2 million.

  1. COMMON STOCK

Effective September 3, 2025, our Board of Directors expanded our existing share repurchase program by an additional $150.0 million of our common stock. Share repurchases may take place on the open market or otherwise, and all or part of the repurchases may be made pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing of repurchases is at our discretion and will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, future cash flows, share price, share availability, and other factors. Repurchased shares are retired and returned to an authorized but unissued status. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Repurchase Activity

No shares were repurchased during the three months ended July 31, 2026. During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, there were share repurchases as summarized below. At July 31, 2026, authorization for $89.0 million of repurchases remained under our share repurchase program.

(1) Average price paid per share and total cash paid for share repurchases do not include any excise tax for share repurchases as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

We use letters of credit and surety bonds to secure certain commitments related to insurance programs and for other purposes. As of July 31, 2026, these letters of credit totaled $22.4 million and surety bonds and surety-backed letters of credit totaled $1,211.8 million.

Guarantees

In some instances, we offer clients guaranteed energy savings under certain energy savings contracts. At July 31, 2026, total guarantees were $179.9 million and extend through 2046. We include the estimated costs of guarantees in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. Historically, we have not incurred any material losses in connection with these guarantees.

Sales Taxes

We collect sales tax from clients and remit those collections to the applicable states. In some cases when clients fail to pay their invoices, including the amount of any sales tax that we paid on their behalf, we may be entitled to seek a refund of that amount of sales tax from the applicable state.

Sales tax laws and regulations enacted by the various states are subject to interpretation, and our compliance with such laws is routinely subject to audit and review by such states. Audit risk is concentrated in several states that are conducting ongoing audits. The outcomes of ongoing and any future audits and changes in the states’ interpretation of the sales tax laws and regulations could materially adversely impact our results of operations.

Legal Matters

We are a party to a number of lawsuits, claims, and proceedings incident to the operation of our business, including those pertaining to labor and employment, contracts, personal injury, and other matters, some of which allege substantial monetary damages. Some of these actions may be brought as class actions on behalf of a class or purported class of employees.

At July 31, 2026, the total amount accrued for probable litigation losses where a reasonable estimate of the loss could be made was $8.8 million. We do not accrue for contingent losses that, in our judgment, are considered to be reasonably possible but not probable. The estimation of reasonably possible losses also requires the analysis of multiple possible outcomes that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties. Our management currently estimates the range of loss for all reasonably possible losses for which a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made is between zero and $14.9 million. Factors underlying this estimated range of loss may change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate.

Litigation outcomes are difficult to predict, and the estimation of probable losses requires the analysis of multiple possible outcomes that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties. If one or more matters are resolved in a particular period in an amount in excess of or in a manner different than what we anticipated, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In some cases, although a loss is probable or reasonably possible, we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential losses for probable matters or the range of losses for reasonably possible matters. Therefore, our accrual for probable losses and our estimated range of loss for reasonably possible losses do not represent our maximum possible exposure.

In determining whether to include any particular lawsuit or other proceeding in our disclosure, we consider both quantitative and qualitative factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: the amount of damages and the nature of any other relief sought in the proceeding; if such damages and other relief are specified, our view of the merits of the claims; whether the action is or purports to be a class action, and our view of the likelihood that a class will be certified by the court; the jurisdiction in which the proceeding is pending; and the potential impact of the proceeding on our reputation.

We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of filings of any pending or contemplated litigation, claims, or assessments. There can be no assurance that future legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

  1. INCOME TAXES

Our quarterly tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate that is adjusted for discrete items occurring during the period to arrive at our effective tax rate. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, we had effective tax rates of 21.3% and 24.8%, respectively. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025, we had effective tax rates of 29.6% and 26.9%, respectively. The difference between the estimated annual effective tax rate before discrete items and statutory rate is primarily related to state income taxes, non-deductible compensation, and tax credits.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2026, was reduced by discrete items, primarily research and development tax credits and enhanced Work Opportunity Tax Credits (“WOTC”). Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2025, was not impacted by any significant discrete items.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, was reduced by discrete items, primarily research and development tax credits, enhanced WOTC, and share-based compensation. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, benefited from discrete items, primarily from return to provision adjustments related to our non-U.S operations.

The WOTC and Federal Empowerment Zone (“FEZ”) credit are federal tax credits available to employers for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups. The Company has historically benefited from these tax credits, which expired on December 31, 2025. As of July 31, 2026, the credits have not been renewed, and our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, only includes a benefit for those employees who started work before December 31, 2025.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two Model Rules established a minimum global effective tax rate of 15% on country-by-country profits of large multinational companies. European Union member states along with many other countries have adopted or expect to adopt the OECD Pillar Two Model effective January 1, 2024, or thereafter. The OECD and other countries continue to publish guidelines and legislation that include transition and safe harbor rules. We continue to monitor new legislative changes and assess the global impact of the Pillar Two Model Rules. Based on our initial assessment, Pillar Two should not have a material impact to the Company’s income tax provision.

We plan to reinvest our foreign earnings to fund future non-U.S. growth and expansion, and we do not anticipate remitting such earnings to the United States.

  1. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our current reportable segments consist of B&I, M&D, Aviation, Education, and Technical Solutions, as further described below.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND DESCRIPTIONS

These offerings are strategically leveraged for cross-selling across all our industry groups, both domestically and internationally. Contracts for this segment are generally structured as electrical contracting services for energy related products such as the installation of solar solutions, battery storage, distributed generation, and other specialized electric trade.

The accounting policies for our segments are the same as those disclosed within our significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.” Our management evaluates the performance of each reportable segment based on its respective operating profit results, which include the allocation of certain centrally incurred costs. Corporate expenses not allocated to segments include certain CEO and other finance and human resource departmental expenses, certain information technology costs, share-based compensation, certain legal costs and settlements, restructuring and related costs, certain actuarial adjustments to self-insurance reserves, and direct acquisition costs.

As of July 31, 2026, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (the “CODMs”), consisting of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, evaluate the performance of ABM’s operating segments and allocate resources based on segment operating profit and revenue. These metrics are regularly reviewed as part of ABM’s internal reporting package.

Segment operating profits are used to allocate resources, including investment spending, primarily as part of the annual budget process. On a monthly basis, the CODMs review budget-to-actual variances to assess performance, monitor trends, and compare results across segments. Segment performance is also considered in the determination of incentive compensation for segment leadership. Segment asset information is not provided to the CODMs, nor is it used in evaluating segment performance or making resource allocation decisions. Accordingly, segment assets are not disclosed in this note.

The following tables present the measure of profit or loss used by the CODMs, along with other significant segment items that are regularly provided and used in managing the business:
