M’s financial reporting processes.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management. Management of ABM has affirmed to the Audit Committee that ABM’s fiscal year 2024 audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm ABM’s fiscal year 2024 audited consolidated financial statements, the firm’s judgment as to the quality of ABM’s accounting principles, and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm under the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its audit of the effectiveness of ABM’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company and its management. As part of that review, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed the services provided by ABM’s independent registered public accounting firm and has considered whether the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has concluded that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent from ABM and its management.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in ABM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, for filing with the SEC.
