SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (the “Company” or “SiteOne”)
(NYSE: SITE) announced earnings for its first quarter ended March
31, 2024 (“First Quarter 2024”).
“During the first quarter of 2024 we experienced continued
significant commodity pricing deflation which dampened our
near-term results. Against this headwind we were pleased to achieve
positive Organic Daily Sales growth, good Net sales growth, and
improved operating cash flow for the quarter,” said Doug Black,
SiteOne Chairman and CEO. “We were also pleased to add two more
companies to our family in April including Devil Mountain Nursery,
a terrific new nursery platform for growth in the West. We believe
that end-market demand is solid across most of our product lines,
and we are confident in our ability to outperform the market and
achieve positive volume growth through our commercial and
operational initiatives. Our acquisition pipeline remains very
active, and we continue to leverage our exceptional teams, market
leadership position, and strong balance sheet to further build our
company and execute our long-term strategy for performance and
growth.”
First Quarter 2024 Results
Net sales for the First Quarter 2024 increased to $904.8
million, or 8%, compared to $837.4 million for the prior-year
period. Organic Daily Sales increased 1% compared to the prior year
period due to solid demand, partially offset by price deflation for
commodity products. Acquisitions contributed $62.5 million, or 7%,
to Net sales growth for the quarter.
Gross profit increased 5% to $301.2 million for the First
Quarter 2024 compared to $287.1 million for the prior-year period.
Gross margin decreased 100 basis points to 33.3% for the First
Quarter 2024 primarily due to lower price realization, partially
offset by a positive impact from acquisitions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for
the First Quarter 2024 increased to $327.7 million from $291.4
million for the prior-year period. SG&A as a percentage of Net
sales increased 140 basis points to 36.2% due primarily to the
impact of acquisitions.
Net loss for the First Quarter 2024 was $19.3 million, compared
to a Net loss of $4.5 million for the same period in the prior
year, as higher Net sales were offset by lower gross margin and
higher SG&A expense. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 47% to $21.1
million for the First Quarter 2024, compared to $39.8 million for
the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 250 basis
points to 2.3%.
Net debt, calculated as long-term debt (net of issuance costs
and discounts) plus finance leases, net of cash and cash
equivalents on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, was $508.0
million compared to $586.1 million as of April 2, 2023. Net debt to
Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months was 1.3 times which was
unchanged compared to the prior year period.
Outlook
“We have seen commodity price deflation continue through April
and expect it to persist into the third quarter. For the full year
2024 we expect prices to be down approximately 2%, which is at the
high end of our initial 1% to 2% range,” Doug Black continued. “In
total, end market demand has been solid, and with the benefit of
our commercial initiatives, we continue to expect sales volume to
more than offset price deflation, yielding low single digit Organic
Daily Sales growth for the full year 2024. With the benefit of our
operational initiatives, SG&A management, and contribution from
our acquisitions, we expect to increase adjusted EBITDA margin
during the year.”
For Fiscal 2024, we continue to expect our Adjusted EBITDA to be
in the range of $420 million to $455 million, which is unchanged
from our previous guidance. Our guidance does not include any
contributions from unannounced acquisitions.
Reconciliation for the forward-looking full-year 2024 Adjusted
EBITDA outlook is not being provided, as the Company does not
currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables
and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release includes certain financial information, not
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies
calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all),
the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures
should not be considered substitutes for the information contained
in the historical financial information of the Company prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP that is set forth herein.
We present Adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate the operating
performance and efficiency of our business. Adjusted EBITDA
represents EBITDA as further adjusted for items permitted under the
covenants of our credit facilities. EBITDA represents our Net
income (loss) plus the sum of income tax (benefit) expense,
interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted
for stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets
and termination of finance leases not in the ordinary course of
business, financing fees as well as other fees and expenses related
to acquisitions, and other non-recurring (income) loss. Adjusted
EBITDA does not include pre-acquisition acquired Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity or financial
performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to Net income, operating income or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of
our liquidity. The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of Net income has
limitations as an analytical tool. Because not all companies use
identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Net
debt is defined as long-term debt (net of issuance costs and
discounts) plus finance leases, net of cash and cash-equivalents on
our balance sheet. Leverage Ratio is defined as Net debt to
trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Free Cash Flow is defined
as Cash Flow from Operating Activities, less capital expenditures.
We define Organic Daily Sales as Organic Sales divided by the
number of Selling Days in the relevant reporting period. We define
Organic Sales as Net sales, including Net sales from newly-opened
greenfield branches, but excluding Net sales from acquired branches
until they have been under our ownership for at least four full
fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal year. Selling Days are
the number of business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays, that SiteOne branches are open during the relevant
reporting period.
