Segmented Fourth Quarter
ResultsFirstService Residential revenues totalled $290.9
million for the fourth quarter, up 6% relative to $274.4 million in
the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was evenly split
between organic growth and growth from recent acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA was $23.4 million, compared to $17.2 million
reported in the prior year period. Fourth quarter margin expansion
resulted from continuing operating efficiencies and improved labour
cost management relative to the prior year quarter. GAAP Operating
Earnings were $17.5 million, versus $11.6 million for the fourth
quarter of last year.
FirstService Brands revenues totalled $147.2
million, up 38% versus $106.7 million in the prior year period. The
increase was comprised of 16% organic growth and the balance from
recent acquisitions. Organic growth for the quarter benefited from
hurricane-related work at our Paul Davis National company-owned
operations. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $20.2 million, up
26% versus the prior year quarter. GAAP Operating Earnings were
$14.2 million, versus $10.5 million in the prior year quarter. The
FirstService Brands division margin was lower in the quarter due to
increased contribution from our faster-growing company-owned
operations, including Paul Davis Restoration, California Closets
and Century Fire Protection, relative to our higher margin
franchised operations.
Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA
were $3.1 million in the fourth quarter, relative to $2.6 million
in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, corporate costs for the
quarter were $3.9, relative to $3.1 million in the prior year
period.
Segmented Full Year
ResultsFirstService Residential revenues were $1.2
billion, up 6% relative to 2016, with the increase comprised of 4%
organic growth and 2% from acquisitions. Organic growth was
primarily driven by competitive contract wins across our markets.
Adjusted EBITDA was $99.9 million, up 19% versus the prior year,
with related margin expansion driven by continued operating
improvements and further optimization of our labour resources. GAAP
Operating Earnings were $77.6 million, compared to $62.6 million in
the prior year.
FirstService Brands revenues for the year
totalled $531.1 million, up 44% versus the prior year, comprised of
12% organic growth and the balance from recent acquisitions.
Organic growth was largely due to very strong growth from our Paul
Davis company-owned operations, particularly Paul Davis National,
as well as double digit revenue growth at our California Closets
and Century Fire company-owned operations and within our CertaPro
Painters, California Closets and Floor Coverings International
franchised systems. Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $74.4 million,
up 32% relative to the prior year. The division operating margin
was impacted by the increased revenue mix from our faster-growing,
lower-margin company-owned operations, as well as weak performance
at Service America. GAAP Operating Earnings were $46.7 million,
versus $41.2 million a year ago.
Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted
EBITDA, were $12.3 million for the full year, relative to $10.1
million in the prior year. On a GAAP basis, corporate costs were
$16.6 million, relative to $13.2 million a year ago. The increase
reflects headcount additions at our corporate office, as well as
the impact of foreign exchange.
Stock RepurchasesDuring the
year, the Company repurchased 271,378 Subordinate Voting Shares on
the open market under its Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) at an

Notes1. Reconciliation of net
earnings to adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings,
adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other expense (income);
(iii) interest expense; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v)
goodwill impairment charges; (vi) acquisition-related items; and
(vii) stock-based compensation expense. The Company uses adjusted
EBITDA to evaluate its own operating performance and its ability to
service debt, as well as an integral part of its planning and
reporting systems. Additionally, this measure is used in
conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the
Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition
targets. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure
because the Company believes such measure is useful to investors as
a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low
capital intensity of its service operations. The Company believes
this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to
compare companies, especially in the services industry. This
measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under
GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a
substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from
operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The
Company’s method of calculating adjusted EBITDA may differ from
other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable
to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings
to adjusted EBITDA appears below.

2. Reconciliation of net earnings and net
earnings (loss) per common share to adjusted net earnings and
adjusted net earnings per share:
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted net earnings
per share, adjusted for the effect, after income tax, of: (i) the
non-controlling interest redemption increment; (ii)
acquisition-related items; (iii) amortization of intangible assets
recognized in connection with acquisitions; (iv) goodwill
impairment charges; (v) stock-based compensation expense; (vi) a
stock-based compensation tax adjustment related to a US GAAP
change; and (vii) an income tax recovery on the enactment of US Tax
Reform. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors
because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying
operating performance of the Company and enhances the comparability
of operating results from period to period. Adjusted EPS is not a
recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should
not be considered as a substitute for diluted net earnings per
common share, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s
method of calculating this non-GAAP measure may differ from other
issuers and, accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to
measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of diluted
net earnings per common share to adjusted EPS appears below.
