EXHIBIT 99

The following should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements (and the accompanying notes thereto) of The ServiceMaster Company (the “Company” or “ServiceMaster”) as set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

In the first quarter of 2011, ServiceMaster concluded that TruGreen LandCare did not fit within the long-term strategic plans of the Company and committed to a plan to sell the business. On April 21, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to sell the TruGreen LandCare business, and the disposition was effective as of April 30, 2011. The financial results, as well as the assets and liabilities, of the TruGreen LandCare business are reported in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Comparable Operating Performance and Operating Performance to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA, Comparable Operating Performance and Operating Performance are supplemental measures of the Company’s performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA, Comparable Operating Performance 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 net income (loss) from discontinued operations; provision (benefit) for income taxes; other expense; interest expense and interest and net investment income; and depreciation and amortization expense; as well as adding back interest and net investment income and residual value guarantee charges. “Comparable Operating Performance” is calculated by adding back to Adjusted EBITDA an amount equal to the non-cash stock-based compensation expense and non-cash effects on Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the application of purchase accounting in connection with the Merger (1). “Operating Performance” is calculated by adding back to Comparable Operating Performance restructuring charges and management and consulting fees paid to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (now operated as Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, “CD&R”), Citigroup Private Equity LP (together with its affiliate, Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC, “Citigroup”), BAS Capital Funding Corporation (“BAS”) and J.P. Morgan Ventures Corporation (now known as 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 ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc., the ultimate parent company of ServiceMaster, to StepStone Group LLC (“StepStone” and collectively with CD&R, Citigroup, BAS and JPMorgan, the “Equity Sponsors”) and its proprietary interest in such investment funds to 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.

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. In addition, the Company excludes residual value guarantee charges that do not result in additional cash payments to exit the facility at the end of the lease term.  The Company uses Comparable Operating Performance as a supplemental measure to assess the Company’s performance because it excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense and non-cash effects on Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the application of purchase accounting in connection with the Merger. The Company uses Operating Performance as a supplemental measure to assess the Company’s performance because it excludes restructuring charges and management and consulting fees paid to the Equity Sponsors. The Company presents Comparable Operating Performance and Operating Performance because it believes that they are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties in their analysis of the Company’s operating results.

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 Comparable Operating Performance and 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 the impact of purchase accounting and non-cash stock-based compensation expense 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 (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, Comparable Operating Performance and Operating Performance are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled financial measures of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation.

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

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

·                 Adjusted EBITDA, Comparable Operating Performance and Operating Performance do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·                 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, Comparable Operating Performance and Operating Performance do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

·                  Comparable Operating Performance and Operating Performance do not include the impact of 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.

(1)          On July 24, 2007, ServiceMaster was acquired pursuant to a merger transaction (the “Merger”) whereby ServiceMaster was merged with and into an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc.

Operating Revenues and Operating Performance by operating segment are as follows:

The following table presents reconciliations of operating income, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA, Comparable Operating Performance and Operating Performance for the periods presented.

(1)                                  Presented below is a reconciliation of total segment operating income to net income (loss).

(2)                                  Interest and net investment income (loss) is primarily comprised of investment income and realized gain (loss) on our American Home Shield segment investment portfolio. Cash and short- and long-term marketable securities associated with regulatory requirements in connection with American Home Shield and for other purposes totaled $245.5 million as of September 30, 2011. American Home Shield interest and net investment income was $5.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $8.3 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The balance of interest and net investment income primarily relates to (i) investment (loss) income from our employee deferred compensation trust (for which there is a corresponding and offsetting change in compensation expense within loss from continuing operations before income taxes) and (ii) interest income on other cash balances.

(3)                                  Represents non-cash residual value guarantee charges recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to a synthetic lease for operating properties, which expired in July 2010.

(4)                                  The Merger was accounted for using purchase accounting. This adjustment represents the aggregate, non-cash adjustments (other than amortization and depreciation) attributable to the application of purchase accounting.

(5)                                  Represents restructuring charges related to a reorganization of field leadership and a restructuring of branch operations at TruGreen, a branch optimization project at Terminix and other restructuring costs.

(6)                                  Represents management and consulting fees payable to certain related parties.

(7)                                  The table below presents reconciliations of operating loss, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP, to EBITDA and Operating Performance for the periods presented.

(1)                                  There are no adjustments necessary to reconcile EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
