Analyst Review: “Koll Management Services has diversified away from parent, Koll Co. In 1989, 90% of KMS revenue came from managing for Koll Co. properties; now less than 50% of their revenues are derived from the parent. You like to see that kind of diversification. For the 1991 fiscal year, KMS acquired six properties to manage; in the first quarter of fiscal ‘92, they have 65 properties, most of which came from the acquisition from Tipton Assoc. They also entered into a joint venture with CC&F; Management in which they acquired half of the company’s management operations and they have the right to buy out the remaining 50% at an established price sometime in the next five years. KMS has created a niche for itself. These guys are one of the best at facilities management, and they are doing it profitably.
Steven C. DeLuca, analyst, Cruttenden & Co., Irvine
Revenue and Profits (Dollar amounts in millions.)
2 Qtrs. ’89 ’90 ’91 ’91 ’92 Revenue $14.2 $17.5 $21.5 $10.0 $13.3 Profits $1.5 $1.9 $2.2 $.950 $1.2
Corporate Outlook: “Because of the fragmented nature of the property management business and our focused acquisition strategy, Koll Management Services is ideally situated to grow substantially over the next several years. While KMS provides services to the real estate industry, it owns no real estate, so it is only minimally affected by today’s difficult ownership marketplace.”
Ray Wirta, vice chairman/CEO
