ServiceMaster provides services to residential and commercial customers in the termite, pest control, cleaning and restoration markets. The company’s Terminix segment is a termite and pest control business that primarily operates in the United States. ServiceMaster’s executives may have repeatedly assured the market that ServiceMaster was successfully executing upon initiatives to improve the performance in the Terminix segment.
ServiceMaster provided preliminary financial results for the third quarter 2019 on October 22, 2019, missing revenue and earnings estimates.
The Company adjusted EBITDA guidance to $415 to $425 million, down from $435 to $445 million. The Company attributed disappointing results partly to “termite damage claims arising primarily from Formosan termite activity,” primarily in Alabama. The Company further stated that this had been a known issue, having taken mitigating measures in 2018. The Company also announced the sudden departure of Matthew J. Stevenson in his role as President of Terminix Residential.
On this news, ServiceMaster common stock fell $11.44 or 20%, to close at $44.70 on October 22, 2019.
