On October 22, 2019, ServiceMaster announced disappointing preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2019, having missed both revenue and earnings estimates. ServiceMaster also gave downward adjusted EBITDA guidance of $415 to $425 million, down from $435 to $445 million. The Company’s press release attributed the disappointing results partly to “termite damage claims arising primarily from Formosan termite activity,” primarily in Mobile, Alabama. ServiceMaster further stated that this had been a known issue, the Company has taken mitigating measures “starting in 2018.” Finally, ServiceMaster announced the sudden departure of Matthew J. Stevenson from his role as President of Terminix Residential. 

On these announcements, ServiceMaster’s stock price fell $11.44 per share, or 20.38%, to close at $44.70 per share on October 22, 2019.
