MEMPHIS, TENN, — February 27, 2014 — The ServiceMaster Company, LLC, one of the world’s largest residential and commercial service networks, today announced preliminary unaudited fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 results.  The company reported fourth-quarter 2013 revenue of $713 million, an increase of approximately 6 percent compared to the same period in 2012.  The company reported full-year 2013 revenue of $3.2 billion, relatively flat compared to the same period in 2012.

The company reported a fourth-quarter 2013 pre-tax net loss of $23 million, versus a pre-tax net loss of $20 million one year ago. The company reported a full-year 2013 pre-tax loss of $627 million. This compares to a pre-tax loss of $827 million one year ago. Both periods included goodwill and trade name impairment charges at TruGreen, $673 million in 2013 and $909 million in 2012.

The company reported fourth-quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA of $90 million, an increase of $8 million compared to the same period in 2012.  The increase was primarily driven by the impact of higher revenue in fourth-quarter 2013 and lower claims costs at American Home Shield, partially offset by higher selling expenses to drive growth, primarily at American Home Shield and discrete charges at Terminix. The company reported full-year 2013 Adjusted EBITDA of $476 million, $95 million lower compared to one year ago, driven by the $127 million Adjusted EBITDA decline at TruGreen, which more than offset the

adjusted EBITDA increase in the remaining businesses.  A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below in this press release.

“Excluding TruGreen, our fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 financial results for the remaining portfolio met our expectations,” said Rob Gillette, ServiceMaster’s chief executive officer. “We’re pleased that Terminix, American Home Shield and ServiceMaster Clean all reported full-year 2013 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth versus prior year.”

The separation of the TruGreen business from ServiceMaster as a tax-free spin-off of TruGreen through a pro rata dividend to the stockholders of ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc., was completed on January 14, 2014.

“This separation should enable ServiceMaster to concentrate on growth and realize our full potential faster,” said Gillette.  “We believe the future for the remaining ServiceMaster portfolio is compelling.  We have great businesses and great people, and we’re committed to taking the steps necessary to continue to drive both revenue and bottom-line growth.”

Consolidated Performance

Total revenue, while up $38 million or 6 percent for the fourth quarter of 2013 versus prior year, would have increased $41 million, or 8 percent, excluding the impact of the TruGreen business.

For full-year 2013, total revenue would have increased $79 million or 4 percent versus prior year, excluding the impact of the TruGreen business.

ServiceMaster’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased 9 percent or $8 million versus prior year, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 40 basis points.  The company’s fourth-quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the TruGreen business impact, would have increased 23

2

percent or $16 million compared to 2012, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin would have improved 200 basis points.

For full-year 2013, Adjusted EBITDA would have increased by 9 percent or $37 million versus the prior year, excluding the impact of the TruGreen business.

Preliminary Segment Information for Continuing Operations

Terminix

Terminix, which provides termite and pest control services to residential and commercial customers and distributes pest control products, reported a 3 percent revenue increase in the fourth quarter of 2013, driven by strong termite new unit sales and pricing actions in both termite and pest control.  Adjusted EBITDA decreased $13 million versus prior year.  This decline was the result of a number of discrete charges, including year-end increases in reserves for:  deferred revenue, product obsolescence – due largely to the introduction of new technology – and certain legal matters.

Terminix revenue increased 3 percent for full-year 2013, driven by pricing actions in both the termite and pest control businesses. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1 million versus prior year, including the impact of the fourth-quarter 2013 discrete items.

TruGreen

On January 14, 2014, ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. completed the previously announced separation transaction of the TruGreen business. The TruGreen business is now operated as a private, independent company but is reported in this news release in continuing operations. Beginning with the company’s 2014 first quarter earnings release, the TruGreen business will be reported in discontinued operations.

TruGreen reported a 2 percent revenue decrease in the fourth quarter of 2013, driven by lower customer counts.  Adjusted EBITDA declined $8 million versus prior year, reflecting higher bad debt expense and an increase in costs associated with higher sales staffing levels.

3

TruGreen revenue decreased 8 percent for full-year 2013, driven by lower customer counts.  Adjusted EBITDA declined $127 million versus prior year, reflecting the flow-through effect of lower revenue, process inefficiencies, an increase in sales staffing levels and higher bad debt expense.

American Home Shield

American Home Shield, which provides home warranties and preventative maintenance contracts for household systems and appliances, reported a 23-percent revenue increase in the fourth quarter of 2013, driven by higher customer counts and a difference between years in the timing of contract claims. Adjusted EBITDA increased $21 million versus prior year, reflecting gross profit margin expansion as a result of lower claims costs and the flow-through effect of higher operating revenue, partially offset by increased marketing spend to drive growth.

American Home Shield revenue increased 3 percent for full-year 2013, driven by improved price realization and higher customer counts. Adjusted EBITDA increased $29 million versus prior year, reflecting gross profit margin expansion as a result of lower claims costs and the flow-through effect of higher operating revenue, partially offset by increased marketing spend to drive growth.

ServiceMaster Clean

ServiceMaster Clean, which provides residential and commercial disaster restoration, janitorial and cleaning services through franchises, reported a 2 percent revenue decrease in the fourth quarter of 2013, driven primarily by the non-recurrence of product revenue and certain fee revenue in 2012 related to a significant weather event in the Northeast.  Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million versus prior year, primarily reflecting the flow-through effect of lower revenue and increased investment in sales resources to drive growth.

ServiceMaster Clean revenue increased 8 percent for full-year 2013, driven primarily by a 3-percent increase in domestic royalty fees and a 32-percent increase in janitorial national account revenue.  Adjusted EBITDA increased $7 million versus prior year, primarily reflecting the flow-through effect of higher operating revenue.

Other Operations and Headquarters

Merry Maids, which provides home cleaning services and represents over 90 percent of the segment revenue, reported a 3-percent revenue increase in the fourth quarter of 2013, driven primarily by revenue growth in company-owned branches. Segment Adjusted EBITDA improved $10 million versus prior year, reflecting the non-recurrence of an unfavorable corporate item in the fourth quarter of 2012, which more than offset slightly lower Adjusted EBITDA results at Merry Maids.

Merry Maids revenue increased 3 percent for full-year 2013, driven primarily by revenue growth in company-owned branches. Segment Adjusted EBITDA declined $4 million versus prior year, reflecting higher severance charges and slightly lower results at Merry Maids.

Cash Flow

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations increased $17 million to $252 million compared to $235 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The year-over-year change was driven by a $70 million improvement in working capital in 2013 and the non-recurrence of the $43 million call premium paid on the retirement of debt in 2012, offset, in part, by the $95 million decline in Adjusted EBITDA versus prior year. Working capital requirements were favorably impacted by a change in the timing of customer prepayments.

Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations was $105 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $118 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Free cash flow, defined as the total of net cash provided from operating activities from continuous operations and net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations, was $147 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $116 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Net cash used for financing activities from continuing operations was $82 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $18 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Other Matters

In February 2014, American Home Shield ceased efforts to deploy a new operating system that had been intended to improve customer relationship management capabilities and enhance its operations. This decision will allow the business to more effectively focus its energy and resources on driving growth and serving customers. Important factors that led to this decision include: the ongoing operational costs of the new operating system are high; plans to expand the technology beyond American Home Shield to other business units lost momentum with the spin-off of TruGreen; enhancements to the existing operating system can support the needs of the business; certain planned benefits of the new operating system can now be achieved through other means; and the business will now be able to invest resources in areas that will allow it to focus on growing the business.  An impairment charge of approximately $50 million is expected in the first quarter of 2014 relating to this decision.

As a result of the TruGreen separation transaction, the company will be required to perform an interim impairment analysis as of January 14, 2014 on the TruGreen trade name. The assumptions used in this analysis will be developed with the view of the TruGreen business as a standalone company, resulting in an expected impairment charge of approximately $150 million.
