The acquisition is expected to boost the company’s adjusted earnings per share immediately after closing. The company is also hopeful of witnessing almost $30-$40 million in cost synergies, post closure of the deal.
The buyout is also expected to increase ABM Industries’ engineering and technical services revenues to almost $2 billion, and also expand the company’s sustainability and energy efficiency offerings. Inclusion of Able’s janitorial services should also strengthen ABM Industries’ janitorial services business and provide growth opportunities to expand EnhancedClean across broader footprint.
Scott Salmirs, president and chief executive officer of ABM Industries, stated, “This acquisition is fully aligned with the strategic plan we have developed to accelerate our revenue growth and margin expansion in the coming years. Able represents an excellent strategic and cultural fit for us, adding to our scale in engineering and janitorial services, which represent priority growth areas for ABM over the next five years. Additionally, Able’s commitment to delivering outstanding service to its clients while engaging with its team members fits well with ABM’s culture and values. Together, we will build upon our respective strengths and shared values as we provide a broader array of services to an expanded client roster.”
Considering the increasing demand for environmentally responsible solutions, the latest deal is expected to boost ABM Industries’ competitive position in the market.
