SWISHER HYGIENE PROVIDES 2011 REVENUE OUTLOOK AT ANNUAL MEETING
CHARLOTTE, NC — May 5, 2011 — Swisher Hygiene Inc. (“Swisher Hygiene”) (NASDAQ: SWSH, TSX: SWI), a leading provider of essential hygiene and sanitation products and services, today provided a revenue outlook for 2011 at its annual meeting. The company currently expects 2011 revenue of approximately $200 million, with current run-rate revenue in excess of $230 million.
“We recognize our historical financial performance is not indicative of the rapid progress we are making acquiring businesses in our large addressable market,” said Steve Berrard, Chief Executive Officer of Swisher Hygiene. “As we continue to acquire additional businesses, we expect to deliver significant efficiencies and cost-savings as we integrate these businesses into our platform. More importantly, we continue to identify and pursue attractive synergies and cross-selling opportunities across all of our service offerings as customers get introduced to our expanded service offerings.”
