SWISHER HYGIENE ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE-MONTH

PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

318% Increase in Revenue; 29% Organic Growth Rate Compared to Prior-Year Period

CHARLOTTE, NC – November 14, 2011 – Swisher Hygiene Inc. (“Swisher Hygiene”) (NASDAQ: SWSH, TSX: SWI), a leading provider of essential hygiene and sanitation products and services, today announced results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011. All amounts in this news release are in United States dollars.

Third Quarter 2011 Highlights

“We continued to move in the right direction in the third quarter of 2011, with another quarter of triple-digit revenue growth, a 30% sequential improvement in revenue from the second quarter, as well as reporting over $5 million in positive Adjusted EBITDA,” said Steven R. Berrard, Chief

Executive Officer of Swisher Hygiene. “Our Adjusted EBITDA margin rose once again to 7.8% as we are realizing the efficiencies of our new regional operating structure and we are approaching our 2011-2012 target Adjusted EBITDA margin range of 10 to 18%. Organic revenue growth of 29% – a third consecutive quarter of double-digit organic growth – shows once again that our cross-selling and new account initiatives are working. We completed 22 additional acquisitions during the quarter and were still able to maintain over $200 million in liquidity available to fund additional acquisitions. As we move toward 2012, we will focus our business development efforts toward broadening our product offerings with an emphasis on our emerging linen and dust control businesses.”

Mr. Berrard continued, “In the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Daley International, which is a cornerstone in our strategy to internally manufacture much of our chemical product offering. With our current manufacturing plants, we now have the capacity to produce as much as 80% of our chemical product requirements, thus significantly reducing our exposure to unforeseen issues and further enabling us to limit our freight and product costs. With our new operating structure in place and our materially increased ability to manufacture our own products, we expect to see significant margin expansion in the upcoming quarters, and ultimately, bottom-line profitability.”

Third Quarter 2011 Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, Swisher Hygiene reported total revenue of $67.2 million, a 318% increase from $16.1 million in the prior-year period and a 30% sequential increase from the second quarter of 2011. Product revenue increased 353% primarily due to the acquisitions of chemical, linen and waste companies since the end of the third quarter of 2010, and service revenue, increased 438%, largely attributable to the March 2011 acquisition of Choice Environmental Services, Inc. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, organic revenue increased 29% from the same period of the prior year.

Total costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by 256% to $70.6 million, compared to $19.8 million in the prior-year period. Excluding acquisition and merger-related costs of $0.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and $1.4 million in the prior-year period, total costs and expenses increased 280% compared to the prior-year period.

Excluding the impact of acquisitions, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively:

The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects a change in sales mix towards the Chemical product line while the favorable change in route expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects the economies of scale realized through route consolidation initiatives. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue has increased on a year to year basis largely due to increased public company costs and infrastructure to facilitate business growth.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.8 million, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million in the prior-year period. Excluding acquisition and merger-related costs of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.2 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the attached financial tables contain certain Non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures, such as “Adjusted EBITDA”, in assessing our operating performance. We believe this non-GAAP measure serves as an appropriate measure to be used in evaluating the performance of our business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding the impact of income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and income, gains on foreign currency, unrealized loss, net, stock-based compensation expense, and costs directly related to merger and acquisitions.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our results. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure frequently in our decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and gives a better indication of our core operating performance. We include this non-GAAP financial measure in our earnings announcement in order to provide transparency to our investors and enable investors to better compare our operating performance with the operating performance of our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative measure of, revenue, operating results or of cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Under SEC rules, we are required to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Accordingly, the following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:
