Business Description

ABM Industries Incorporated, which operates through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “ABM,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), is a leading provider of facility maintenance, engineering and infrastructure solutions with a mission to make a difference, every person, every day . Our history dates back to 1909, when American Building Maintenance Company began as a window washing company in San Francisco with one employee. In 1985, we were incorporated in Delaware under the name American Building Maintenance Industries, Inc., as the successor to the business originally founded in 1909. In 1994, we changed our name to ABM Industries Incorporated. Since that time, we have grown into a multi-segment facility solutions company, primarily through strategic acquisitions and new service offerings, increasing our revenue to more than $8.5 billion. The acquisitions of OneSource and Linc Group in the early 2000s established ABM as a leader in the commercial janitorial market and also enhanced our ability to be a full-service facility solutions provider with new service offerings, including lighting, mechanical, and electrical “technical solutions.” With demand increasing for industry-specific service providers, the acquisition of Air Serv established “Aviation” as our first industry group. In recent years, we have strategically acquired companies in the United Kingdom (“UK”) and the Republic of Ireland (“Ireland”), which expanded our janitorial and technical solutions businesses overseas. In 2015, we began a comprehensive transformational initiative (“ 2020 Vision ”) to drive long-term, profitable growth through an industry-based, go-to-market approach. Through this initiative, we centralized key functional areas and industry groups, strengthened our sales capabilities, and initiated investments in service delivery tools and processes to help support standard operating practices that we believe remain foundational to our long-term success. As part of the transformation initiative, we also evaluated all of our service offerings and sold our Security and Government Services businesses, which did not align with our long-term focus on specialized industry groups. 2 In 2017, we acquired GCA Services Group (“GCA”), a provider of integrated facility services to educational institutions and commercial facilities representing the largest acquisition in ABM history. The acquisition accelerated the Company’s position as a leading facility solutions provider in the education market. In 2021, we acquired Crown Building Maintenance Co. and Crown Energy Services, Inc. (collectively, “Able”), a leading facilities services company headquartered in San Francisco, California, with the goal to provide additional scaling to the Company’s core businesses and key geographies and to bolster ABM’s janitorial and facilities services service lines. In addition, the acquisition of Able further expanded ABM’s sustainability and energy efficiency offerings amid growing demand for environmentally responsible solutions. In 2022, we acquired RavenVolt, Inc. (“RavenVolt”), a leading nationwide provider of advanced turn-key microgrid systems utilized by diversified commercial and industrial customers, national retailers, utilities, and municipalities. A complementary extension of ABM’s Technical Solutions service offerings, the addition of RavenVolt enhanced ABM’s position as a market leader in electric vehicle (“EV”) charging infrastructure, power, and bundled energy solutions. In 2022, we acquired Momentum Support (“Momentum”), a leading independent provider of facility services, primarily janitorial, across Ireland and Northern Ireland. The addition of Momentum provided greater access to Momentum’s blue-chip customer base as well as an opportunity to cross sell ABM services to existing U.S.- and UK-based clients who also have an operational footprint in Ireland and Northern Ireland. In 2024, we acquired Quality Uptime Services, Inc. (“Quality Uptime”), an independent uninterrupted power supply system (“UPS”) maintenance company providing customized preventive and emergency service programs for mission-critical data centers and other facilities across the United States.…
