UNDERSTANDING HEALTHCARE

2.1

Why Healthcare is the Right Choice

As a ServiceMaster Clean franchise owner, here’s why you should be excited about healthcare: •

Huge revenue and profit potential in this large and growing market with growing profit margins

•

Fewer competitors, since healthcare cleaning has high standards

•

SMC is well positioned to be very successful in healthcare due to our history, processes and expertise

•

Faster, more profitable growth in healthcare • 3.3% CAGR for Cleaning Services industry • 6% EBIDTA CAGR for Healthcare industry

•

6.3% expected increase in the number of cleaning service providers to 2027 • Largely small, “Mom & Pop” players, which is a problem for general janitorial • Mom & Pops not as relevant for the complex healthcare cleaning market

•

ServiceMaster Clean is a well-known brand with a history of industry-leading cleaning and disinfection products & processes Healthcare offers SMC franchisees a large, profitable market where it will be easier to win business

2.2 •

Why Healthcare is a Strong Opportunity

Opportunity Size – The size of the market opportunity for healthcare is huge, growing, and changing. Healthcare is a large opportunity for SMC in terms of revenue potential, and differentiation.

• Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBIDTA) growth across healthcare expected to grow by 6% per year • High barriers to entry: Unique footprints & High levels of required expertise • High revenue potential driven by value • Strong National Accounts potential

•

Market Demand – Specialized cleaning for healthcare presents a range of challenges and needs not found in traditional facilities, and our competition is not equipped to meet those challenges.

Confidential

US Version 1Q24

Page 5 of 23

HEALTHCARE TOOLKIT •

Market Expectation – Healthcare decision-makers want cleaning providers to understand their specialized needs & standards, and perform against them consistently, for a competitive but not low bid price. Expectations have shifted during COVID from lowest price to quality and best value.

•

Positioned to succeed – We pioneered cleaning for healthcare and are defining its future with innovative processes and programs. ServiceMaster Clean offers healthcare facilities a remarkable cleaning experience by transforming the consistent completion of ordinary tasks into extraordinary service.

•

Healthcare profit pools are expected to show a strong recovery post-COVID-19, with payer and services segments growing fastest.

• 60% of the network has been CSCT-trained • Partnership with AHE • Brand history and authenticity in healthcare • Franchise network means agility in adapting to the changing healthcare landscape Industry Healthcare Hospitals ASCs MOBS

2.3

Choosing the Right Targets

Targeting the right healthcare institutions to be more successful

2.3.1 Why Outpatient •

Care is moving to outpatient facilities like Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) and Medical Office Buildings (MOBs) • Number of ASCs increased 7% in last 5 years • Often co-located with medical office buildings and diagnostic testing facilities • Limits on what spaces can be shared leads to mild complexity • Large amount of square footage and growing faster than office buildings

Confidential

US Version 1Q24

Page 6 of 23

HEALTHCARE TOOLKIT • Higher barriers to entry than regular cleaning services/commercial cleaning •

Clean already uniquely positioned for ASC cleaning

•

Healthcare institutions are willing to pay more for cleaning and disinfecting services, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic

•

Outpatient settings have smaller footprints, lower overhead costs, and greater profit margins

2.3.2 Why Not Hospitals •

Healthcare is moving OUT of hospitals and into outpatient facilities • 181 rural hospitals closed since 2005 • Hospitals spread nosocomial diseases and infections • Patients prefer the convenience of outpatient facilities

•

Competition is tough: industry giants like Crothall, Aramark and Sodexo focus on large footprints

2.4

Healthcare Basics

2.4.1 Know the Lingo ASCs: Ambulatory Surgical Centers are outpatient (ambulatory) facilities that focus on surgical procedures, they’re often found in MOBs Environmental Services (EVS): Cleaning services in healthcare settings HAIs: Healthcare-Associated Infections •

CMS monitors 2 primary HAIs • C.Diff • MRSA

HAC Penalties: When a hospital has too many reported HAIs, CMS will penalize the healthcare facility by reducing reimbursement amounts •

This is less of a problem for a healthcare facility that receives reimbursements primarily from private insurance, and a large problem for facilities that have a majority Medicaid/Medicare patients

Inpatient Facilities: Anywhere a patient is admitted, mainly hospitals MOBs: Medical Office Buildings, often clusters of large buildings where all or most of the tenants are medical practitioners Outpatient Facilities: Patients are not generally admitted here, such as clinics, ASCs & MOBs Patient-Centered Care: Trendy but critical term for putting patients first – their clinical and non-

2.4.2 Know the Stakeholders CDC: Centers for Disease Control (gov) Additional CDC resources for key program elements for effective EVS cleaning programs that include: •

Organization/administration

•

Staffing and Training

•

Infrastructure and Supplies

•

Policies and Procedures

•

Monitoring, Feedback, and Audit

CMS: Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (gov) •

CMS monitors healthcare facilities, including infection rates, and publishes reports online

•

CMS is the largest single payor for healthcare, reimbursing healthcare institutions

GPOs are how healthcare facilities primarily purchase equipment, PPE and healthcare services

•

The dominant healthcare GPOs are Vizient, Premier and HealthTrust

The Joint Commission (TJC): A non-profit 3rd party healthcare accreditation organization •

TJC is an independent, not-for-profit organization that healthcare looks to for guidance and compliance

•

TJC seeks to continuously improve healthcare for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating healthcare organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value.

•

TJC accredits and certifies more than 22,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States, including hospitals and healthcare organizations that provide ambulatory and office-based surgery, behavioral health, home health care, laboratory and nursing care enter

2.4.3 Know the Decision Makers Different organizations have different final decision-makers. It depends on the size of the organization, and several people could influence the decision.

Influencers •

Infection Preventionist: Responsible for lowering HAIs in the facility • Driver: Infection rates, CMS reports

•

Chief Financial Officer: Involved in big expenditures • Driver: Price

•

Chief Nursing Officer (Hospital): In charge of keeping patients and nurses safe • Driver: Quality

Decision-Makers •

EVS Director: Ensure the cleanliness of the facility and safety of patients • Driver: Balance of price and value

•

Procurement/Sourcing: Delivers savings & has a strong say in choosing a provider • Driver: Lowest price

Decision-makers rely heavily on in-person and social media-based informal communities to ask about vendor quality and price, over more traditional outlets like conferences and associations.

When the decision is made by committee, final budget approval may involve the Governing Board Chairman or Board of Directors.

2.4.4 Know the Landscape •

Nearly 200 hospitals have closed since 2010 with the change to Pay-for-Performance leading to lower reimbursement amounts

Confidential

US Version 1Q24

Page 9 of 23

HEALTHCARE TOOLKIT •

Dozens of hospitals closed down to COVID-19-related bankruptcy • Healthcare has been stabilizing over 2021 and 2022

•

According to a Modern Healthcare article, about 65% of hospital revenue is derived from outpatient services • ASCs are a growing source of outpatient revenue • ASCs predominantly have Medicare patients aged 65-74 • Joint partnerships with hospitals will enable ASCs to provide more outpatient services despite the limited number of physicians • Since ASCs have a smaller number of operating rooms than a typical hospital inpatient center, it will likely be easier for ASCs to comply with quality control processes

•

An aging population and greater demand for healthcare services will bolster demand for cleaning services at medical and surgical hospitals and outpatient facilities

•

The effect of COVID is not expected to be temporary. Heightened awareness of variants will likely transform cleaning standards and their importance across all sectors

HEALTHCARE TOOLKIT ASCs are a growth opportunity in healthcare, which is moving away from hospitals.

•

More convenient for patients: location & size

•

Cheaper to operate, which is good for both management and insurance purposes

•

Less risk of communicable disease compared to hospitals

•

ASCs are growing at a rate faster than the cleaning industry

Rapid growth is due to: •

Tech advances allowing for non-hospital settings

•

Patient/physician convenience

•

Fiscal incentives for physicians who can own ASCs

•

Higher safety/quality ratings in ASCs combined with lower costs

ASCs are more likely to outsource EVS. •

ASC survey respondents were more likely than other facility-type respondents to outsource services, averaging 64% outsourcing of the services surveyed

•

By comparison, Skilled Nursing facilities only outsourced 30% of services, and Outpatient facilities only 52%

•

For the services they don’t currently outsource, 66% of respondents said they would be comfortable outsourcing to a cleaning services company

ASCs have varied ownership with 60% being owned by physicians only.

•

Revenue-generating surgeries moving to ASCs

•

12 large ASC chains (1,400 locations) • Often affiliated with a hospital group

•

HEALTHCARE TOOLKIT 2.5.5 An Existing Fit for SMC ASC interview participant needs most closely aligned with SMC's current marketing messaging for healthcare institutions: •

Rely on overnight terminal cleaning

•

Prioritize infection control

•

Seek better oversight of their janitorial vendors when onsite

•

Rely heavily on janitorial service vendors to stay up to date on regulatory cleaning needs

2.5.6 Customer Insights Research How to avoid HAIs and improve the patient experience.

Cause of HAI

Ways to Combat the Infection

Unwashed/poorly washed hands of carers

Poorly cleaned/disinfected rooms Fomites (objects or materials that can transmit infection) e.g., blood pressure cuffs, IV poles, curtains, wooden furniture, lab coat

• Signage around hospital to remind people to wash hands • Easily accessible hand sanitizer • Regular handwashing of EVS staff • Accurately follow chemical dilution and cleaning processes • Cleaning and disinfecting common fomites between uses • Managing healthcare technology inventory that moves from patient room to patient room, or disinfect equipment that’s touched by multiple patients in a day

Ways to Improve Patient Experience with EVS

Encourage & train EVS staff to have a conversation with patients while cleaning their rooms Schedule room and hall cleanings during the day, so patients can see the EVS staff at work Reduce HAIs to keep patients safe & healthy, and keep infection rates low

Switching Providers •

Service consistency – Most customers seek out cleaning services due to issues with their current provider such as not cleaning well and Service consistency. Price increases, new location addition and Salesperson are key to driving sales in Healthcare.

HEALTHCARE TOOLKIT Ways to implement a Blue Ocean Strategy Create a new niche of uncontested market space •

ASCs and MOBs have traditionally not been addressed by the big players

•

Mom & Pops are out of their depth in healthcare

•

Outpatient EVS focused on quality disinfection is a niche in high demand

•

Work with Regional and National Accounts to partner with SMC franchisees in your area

Making the competition irrelevant through differentiation and value •

Post-COVID, EVS isn’t as much of a price war – decision-makers want value from service consistency and quality

Creating and capturing new demand •

The demand is already there in healthcare

•

Capture that demand through strategic digital marketing

Breaking the value-cost trade-off •

Focus on SMC’s value, not cost, when doing a sales pitch or proposal

•

Focus on differentiators like disposables, local care from a local business owner, and the ability to service an operating room and office lobby with the same team

Aligning all activities in pursuit of differentiation and value •

Word of mouth and referrals is a strong lead generation tactic – make sure you take excellent care of every customer AND ask them for referrals, to put in a good word, and if your customer knows anyone else who might be interested in our services

•

Send proposals with best-in-class content and delivery for easy signature
