(1) Scott Salmirs served as our principal executive officer (“PEO”) for the full fiscal year for each of 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

For fiscal year 2024, our non-PEO NEOs included Mr. Ellis, Mr. Feinberg, Mr. Jacobsen, Ms. Newborn, and Mr. Valentin.

(2) The dollar amounts in columns (c) and (e) represent the amount of “Compensation Actually Paid”, as computed in accordance with SEC rules. Compensation Actually Paid does not represent cash and/or equity value realized or paid to ABM’s PEO or NEOs, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. For each of fiscal year 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the values included in this column for the compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average compensation actually paid to our non-PEO NEOs reflect the following adjustments to the values included in column (b) and column (d), respectively:

(3) For each year, total shareholder return for the Company and the peer group was calculated as the yearly percentage change in cumulative total shareholder return based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 at market close on October 30, 2020 and in accordance with Items 201(e) and 402(v) of Regulation S-K. For purposes of this pay versus performance disclosure, the Peer Group for which Total Shareholder Return is provided in column (g) is the S&P Composite 1500 – Commercial Services and Supplies industry index (the “Peer Group”). Because fiscal years are presented in the table in reverse chronological order (from top to bottom), the table should be read from bottom to top for purposes of understanding cumulative returns over time.

(4) CIP Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measure, Net Income, are set forth in Appendix A.

(5) 2024 TSR for ABM has been corrected for a missed dividend.
