MEMPHIS, TENN, — August 4, 2014 — ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SERV), a leading provider of essential residential and commercial services, today announced preliminary unaudited second-quarter 2014 results. The company reported second-quarter 2014 revenue of $683 million, an increase of 8 percent compared to the same period in 2013.

The company reported second-quarter 2014 income from continuing operations of $42 million, versus income from continuing operations of $15 million in the same period in 2013.

The company reported second-quarter 2014 net income of $40 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, versus a loss of $510 million for the second quarter of 2013, which included pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $673 million to reduce the carrying value of TruGreen’s goodwill and trade name.  The company reported second-quarter 2014 adjusted net income(1) of $52 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, versus $24 million, or $0.26 per share, in the same period in 2013.  Earnings per share and other share data contained in this release do not reflect the 41.3 million shares issued by the company on July 1, 2014, in conjunction with its initial public offering.

The company reported second-quarter 2014 Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $171 million, an increase of 32 percent or $41 million compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of higher revenue, operating cost savings and the transition of certain costs in the second quarter of 2014 to TruGreen Holding Corporation, which the company spun-off on January 14, 2014. A reconciliation of income from continuing operations to both adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA are set forth below in this press release.

“Terminix, American Home Shield and the Franchise Services Group all reported revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in the second quarter of 2014 versus prior year,” said Rob Gillette, ServiceMaster’s chief executive officer. “We’re on the right path, with great businesses, strong brands and passionate associates who provide essential services to our valued customers.”

“Based on our strong year-to-date performance, we plan to increase our business reinvestment in the second half of the year to drive future growth,” said Gillette. “Our current projection range for full-year 2014 performance is $2,446 million to $2,466 million for revenue and $535 million to $540 million for Adjusted EBITDA.”

Preliminary Consolidated Performance

Preliminary Information for Continuing Operations

2

Terminix

Terminix, which provides termite and pest control services to residential and commercial customers and distributes pest control products, reported a 3 percent revenue increase in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013.  The revenue increase was primarily driven by improved price realization in both termite and pest control and new product introductions.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 12 percent or $10 million versus the second quarter of 2013 driven primarily by higher revenue conversion and overhead cost reductions.

American Home Shield

American Home Shield, which provides home warranties for household systems and appliances, reported a 17 percent revenue increase in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013, driven by the acquisition of Home Security of America, Inc. (“HSA”), higher customer counts, favorable product mix and timing within the year of contract revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 52 percent or $21 million versus prior year, primarily reflecting the flow-through effect of the higher revenue, a decrease in contract claims and increased operating efficiencies.

Franchise Services Group

The Franchise Services Group, which provides residential and commercial disaster restoration, janitorial, residential cleaning services, furniture repair and home inspections, reported a 10 percent revenue increase in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013.  The revenue increase was driven primarily by higher royalty fees and an increase in janitorial national accounts.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 7 percent or $1 million versus the second quarter of 2013, primarily reflecting the flow-through effect of increased revenue, partially offset by the mix impact of higher growth in janitorial national accounts.

Other Operations and Headquarters

Adjusted EBITDA improved $9 million versus prior year, primarily reflecting the transition of certain costs to TruGreen and other cost reductions.

Cash Flow

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations increased $26 million to $149 million compared to $123 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations was $36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Pre-tax unlevered free cash flow(3) was $258 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $236 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Net cash used for financing activities from continuing operations was $54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  During the second quarter of 2014, we made scheduled principal payments on debt of $22 million.

Other Matters

On July 1, 2014, in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, The ServiceMaster Company, LLC terminated its existing credit agreement

3

governing its old term loan facilities and its existing revolving credit facility, which were scheduled to mature January 2017, and entered into a new credit agreement with respect to a $1,825 million new term loan facility maturing 2021 and a $300 million new revolving credit facility maturing 2019.  Borrowings under the new term loan facility, together with $244 million of available cash and $118 million of net proceeds of the initial public offering, were used to repay in full the $2,187 million outstanding under the old term loan facilities. In addition, $41 million of available cash was used to pay debt issuance costs of $22 million and to pay an original issue discount of $18 million in connection with the new term loan facility.

On July 16, 2014, The ServiceMaster Company, LLC used a portion of the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering to redeem $210 million of its outstanding 8% Notes and $263 million of its 7% Notes due 2020. In connection with the redemption of the 8% Notes and the 7% Notes, The ServiceMaster Company, LLC was required to pay a pre-payment premium of $17 million and $18 million, respectively, and accrued interest of $7 million and $8 million, respectively.

In connection with the partial redemption of the 8% Notes and 7% Notes and the repayment of the old term loan facilities, we expect to record a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $65 million in the third quarter of 2014, which includes the pre-payment premiums on the 8% Notes and 7% Notes of $17 million and $18 million, respectively, and the write-off of approximately $30 million of debt issuance costs.
