Terminix Delivers Strong Fourth-Quarter Results Highlighted by Residential Growth 

And Delivers on 2021 Full-Year Expectations

 

Fourth-quarter revenue growth of five percent, including three percent organic growth
Strong fourth-quarter residential growth, including nine percent organic revenue growth in termite and home services
Fourth-quarter net income of $7 million
Fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $73 million with margin expansion of 20bps
Full-year revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and organic growth within guidance expectations

 

MEMPHIS, TENN. — March 1, 2022 —Terminix Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TMX), a leading provider of essential termite and pest management services to residential and commercial customers, today announced unaudited fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 results.

 

For the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company reported a year-over-year revenue increase of five percent to $484 million. Net income for the quarter decreased year-over-year by $484 million to $7 million, or $0.06 per share, primarily due to the gain from the sale of ServiceMaster Brands in the fourth-quarter 2020. Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the quarter increased year-over-year by $4 million to $73 million, and Adjusted Net Income(2) for the quarter decreased by $4 million year-over-year to $24 million, or $0.20 per share.

 

For the full year ended 2021, the Company reported a revenue increase of four percent to $2,045 million. Net income decreased $425 million to $125 million, primarily due to the gain from the sale of ServiceMaster Brands in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year increased $42 million, or 12 percent, to $387 million and Adjusted Net Income increased $54 million, or 43 percent, to $180 million.

 

“In the fourth quarter, we continued to build momentum in our residential business with improvements in digital marketing, staffing levels and pricing driving an acceleration in organic growth,” said Terminix CEO Brett Ponton. “We reported double-digit organic growth in termite and home service completions, seven percent growth in termite renewals and five percent growth in residential pest control while making solid progress on the CxP and Terminix Way initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the quarter was highlighted by higher revenue contribution and fleet productivity offsetting investments in labor and strategic initiatives and increased medical costs from the lingering effects of the pandemic. We also delivered meaningful progress managing termite damage claims with the lowest new claims in a quarter since 2018.”

 

The new year is off to a strong start as we capitalize on the foundational improvements made during 2021,” Ponton continued. “Our strategic growth priorities for the year remain focused on improving teammate retention to drive customer retention, improving technician cross-selling capabilities to drive customer penetration and developing our digital marketing prowess to drive increased lead generation. CxP has been deployed in our southwest region and we are targeting a full Terminix Way pilot with enhanced standard operating procedures and training protocols in both the commercial and residential service lines in the next few months. While these operational initiatives remain the focus of our customer facing teammates, the back-office is also working closely with the Rentokil team on integration planning as we progress towards an anticipated second half of 2022 merger that will significantly enhance our commercial capabilities and accelerate the progress already well underway.”

Fourth-Quarter Performance

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Terminix reported five percent year-over-year revenue growth and three percent organic revenue growth.(4)

 

Termite and home services revenue growth was nine percent, predominantly all of which was organic growth. Termite and home services completions increased 11 percent, driven by higher demand for termite services and increased cross selling of home services to existing customers. Termite renewals increased seven percent, due to increased volume and improved price realization.

 

Residential pest management revenue growth was five percent, reflecting organic revenue growth of four percent. Organic revenue growth was driven by improved price realization and improved trailing 12-month customer retention rates.

 

Commercial pest management revenue growth was two percent. Organic revenue decline of two percent was driven by a reduction in one-time services, including approximately $2 million in disinfection services in the same period in 2020. These organic declines were partially offset by continued growth internationally, including favorable foreign currency fluctuations of approximately $1 million.

 

Sales of products and other revenue growth was four percent due to increased product demand as we lap the impacts of COVID-19 on the three months ended December 31, 2020. The sale of products was negatively impacted by product availability and supply channel slowdowns stemming from COVID-19.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $73 million for the fourth quarter, a year-over-year increase of $4 million. The impact on Adjusted EBITDA from higher revenue was $13 million. Production labor increased $5 million, primarily due to labor market driven increased turnover year-over-year and investments in trainees to improve staffing levels in advance of 2022 peak season. Direct cost productivity reduced expenses $6 million year-over-year, driven by improvements in fleet management, lower fuel prices primarily related to favorable fuel hedge rates, and productivity from the insourcing of certain national accounts customers. Medical costs increased $5 million due to increased medical claims and short-term disability costs primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Investments in CxP and Terminix Way increased $3 million as we prepare to launch the Terminix Way initiative in the coming months and deployed CxP in the southwest region. Other expenses, including sales, marketing, and travel increased $1 million in total.

Liquidity and Free Cash Flow

 

The Company ended the fourth quarter with $116 million in available cash and access to $378 million under its revolving credit facility for total liquidity of $494 million. Full-year 2021 free cash flow was $217 million, with a free cash flow conversion rate(5) of 56 percent. The Company ended the fourth quarter with a net debt leverage ratio(6) of approximately 2.0 times. The Company borrowed and repaid $50 million from its revolving credit facility during the fourth quarter. This short-term liquidity was used to close $27 million in acquisitions and purchase $19 million in shares under the Company’s share repurchase program. Given the proposed acquisition by Rentokil, we are not currently planning to repurchase any shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future.

 

Proposed Acquisition by Rentokil

 

On December 13, 2021, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Rentokil Initial plc and its affiliates. Under the Merger Agreement, at closing, each share of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to closing (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive either:

 

a number of American depositary shares of Rentokil (each representing a beneficial interest in five ordinary shares of Rentokil) equal to (A) 1.0619 plus (B) the quotient of $11.00 and the volume weighted average price (measured in U.S. dollars) of Rentokil American depositary shares (measured using the volume weighted average price of Rentokil ordinary shares as a proxy) for the trading day that is two trading days prior to the closing (or such other date as may be mutually agreed to by Rentokil and the Company); or

 

an amount in cash, without interest, and in USD equal to the sum of (A) the Per Share Cash Amount plus (B) the product of the Exchange Ratio and the Rentokil ADS Price,

 

in each case at the election of the holder of such share of our common stock, subject to certain allocation and proration provisions of the Merger Agreement. Immediately following such conversion, our shares of common stock will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist. The aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate stock consideration that will be issued in the transaction will not vary as a result of individual election preferences.

 

The respective obligations of the Company and Rentokil to consummate the transaction are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and other related matters by Rentokil’s shareholders, and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

 

Full-Year 2022 Outlook

 

Due to the proposed acquisition by Rentokil, the Company does not plan to provide its customary full-year 2022 revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, organic growth or free cash flow conversion guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures may not be calculated like or comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See non-GAAP reconciliations below in this press release for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow, free cash flow conversion rate, organic revenue growth and net debt leverage ratio are not measurements of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations or any other performance or liquidity measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate operating performance and liquidity comparisons, as applicable, from period to period. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as they facilitate company-to-company operating performance and liquidity comparisons, as applicable, by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, acquisition activity, taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment, restructuring initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans.

 

 

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before: depreciation and amortization expense; acquisition-related costs; Mobile Bay Formosan termite settlement; fumigation related matters; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other charges; goodwill impairment; amortization of cloud based software; net earnings from discontinued operations; provision for income taxes; loss on extinguishment of debt; and interest expense. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company’s definition of Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

 

(3) Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations less property additions.

 

(4) Organic revenue growth is defined as revenue excluding revenue from acquired customers for 12 months following the acquisition date.

 

(5) Free cash flow conversion rate is defined as free cash flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
