For the year ended December 31, 2022,
consolidated revenues were $3.75 billion, a 15% increase relative

$351.7 million, up 7%, and Adjusted EPS was $4.24, versus the prior

“We are very pleased with how we finished the
year,” said Scott Patterson, Chief Executive Officer of

Segmented Fourth Quarter
ResultsFirstService Residential revenues totalled $442.1
million for the fourth quarter, up 9% relative to the prior year
quarter, including 8% organic growth. Growth was driven by
continued expansion of our sited labour revenue across most markets
as well as new contract wins. Adjusted EBITDA was $38.1 million, an
increase of 7% compared to $35.7 million reported in the prior year
period. GAAP Operating Earnings were $30.6 million, versus $25.7
million for the fourth quarter of last year. The EBITDA margin was
slightly below the prior year quarter, while the operating earnings
margin increased year-over-year due to a decrease in amortization
expense in connection with recent acquisitions during the current
year quarter.
FirstService Brands revenues totalled $578.0
million, up 28% versus $451.3 million in the prior year period. The
increase included 20% organic growth, with the balance from recent
tuck-under acquisitions. Organic growth for the quarter was strong
across our service lines, with particularly robust activity levels
at Century Fire Protection and at our restoration operations, the
latter of which benefited from the recent Hurricane Ian event.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $67.4 million, up 27% versus
the prior year quarter. GAAP Operating Earnings were $44.0 million,
versus $28.3 million in the prior year quarter. The division EBITDA
margin was in-line with the prior year quarter, while the operating
earnings margin increased year-over-year due to lower
acquisition-related items in the current year quarter.
Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA
were $3.0 million in the fourth quarter, relative to $5.5 million
in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, corporate costs for the
quarter were $7.1 million, relative to $9.1 million in the prior
year period. The decrease in corporate costs was primarily due to
lower incentive compensation expense during 2022.
Segmented Full Year
ResultsFirstService Residential revenues were $1.77
billion, up 12% relative to 2021, with the increase comprised of 8%
organic growth and the balance from acquisitions. Organic growth
was primarily due to increased labour-related services compared to
the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $168.6 million, up 8% versus
the prior year. GAAP Operating Earnings were $138.9 million,
compared to $127.3 million in the prior year. Operating margins
were impacted by wage inflation, as well as higher growth of
labour-driven revenues relative to higher margin ancillaries.
FirstService Brands revenues for the year
totalled $1.97 billion, up 19% versus the prior year, comprised of
11% organic growth and the balance from tuck-under acquisitions.
Organic revenue growth was broad-based across the division and
included significant double-digit increases in our home services
and Century Fire brands. Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $196.3
million, up 4% relative to the prior year. GAAP Operating Earnings
were $111.6 million, versus $106.6 million a year ago. The division
margin decline was a result of cost inflationary pressures within
some of our businesses, in addition to the combined impact of
growth-related platform investments and more tempered weather
activity within our restoration operations.
Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted
EBITDA, were $13.2 million for the full year, relative to $17.2
million in the prior year. On a GAAP basis, corporate costs were
$31.5 million, relative to $32.2 million a year ago.

press release includes or may include forward-looking statements.
Much of this information can be identified by words such as “expect
to,” “expected,” “will,” “estimated” or similar expressions
suggesting future outcomes or events. FirstService believes the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are

unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements contemplated in the forward-looking
statements. Such factors include: (i) general economic and business
conditions, which will, among other things, impact demand for
FirstService’s services and the cost of providing services; (ii)
the ability of FirstService to implement its business strategy,
including FirstService’s ability to acquire suitable acquisition
candidates on acceptable terms and successfully integrate newly
acquired businesses with its existing businesses; (iii) changes in
or the failure to comply with government regulations; and (iv)
other factors which are described in FirstService’s annual
information form for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the

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)
acquisition-related items; and (vi) 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; and (iv) stock-based
compensation expense. 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.
