ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. Announces

$300 Million Share Repurchase Program

 

MEMPHIS, TENN.February 25, 2016  —ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc.  (NYSE: SERV), a leading provider of essential residential and commercial services, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a three-year share repurchase program, under which the company may repurchase up to $300 million of its outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2015, the company had approximately 135.5 million shares of common stock outstanding.    

The share repurchase program is part of the company’s capital allocation strategy that focuses on sustainable growth and maximizing shareholder value. As part of the strategy, the company has set a target Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio range of 2.5x to 3.0x.

As of December 31, 2015, the company’s ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 4.2x.

Under the share repurchase program, the company may repurchase shares in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The extent to which the company repurchases its shares, and the timing and manner of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by the company. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The company expects to fund the purchases from operating cash flow.

Net Debt and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP financial measures. Management views the leverage ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as the most useful indicator of when the company would be in a position to repurchase shares and return funds to shareholders. Net Debt is defined as face value of debt less unrestricted cash and marketable securities. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations and the calculation of Net Debt are set forth below.
