ServiceMaster's rank changes
The company's ranking in 2007 was a decline from 2006 when it was ranked 494th on the Fortune 500. The Previous ranking was based on its 2006 revenue of $4,004 million (a change of -1 million compared to 2007) and profits of $199 million (a change of -29 million compared to 2007).
Another point of view
To many investors, profits are more important than the revenue a company earns. If the Fortune 500 was ranked by profits instead of revenue then ServiceMaster would be ranked 461st rather than 534th due to its profits of $170 in 2007.
