TORONTO, Feb. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX: FSV; NASDAQ: FSV) today announced strong fourth quarter and full year results for the year ended December 31, 2024. All amounts are in US dollars.

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter were $1.37 billion, a 27% increase relative to the same quarter in the prior year, including 10% organic growth. Adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $137.9 million, up 33%, and Adjusted EPS (note 2) was $1.34, a 21% increase over the prior year quarter. Operating Earnings for the quarter were $89.6 million, relative to $48.1 million in the prior year period. Diluted EPS was $0.71 per share in the quarter, compared to $0.14 for the same quarter a year ago.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, consolidated revenues were $5.22 billion, a 20% increase relative to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $513.7 million, up 24%, and Adjusted EPS was $5.00, an increase of 7% versus the prior year. Operating Earnings were $337.5 million, versus $244.9 million in the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share was $2.97, compared to $2.24 in the prior year.

"We are very pleased with how we closed out the year," said Scott Patterson, Chief Executive Officer of FirstService.

This momentum and continued operational execution reinforces our expectations for a strong 2025," he concluded.

Segmented Fourth Quarter Results
FirstService Residential generated revenues of $521.3 million for the fourth quarter, up 5% relative to the prior year quarter, including 3% organic growth. The top-line performance was underpinned by contract wins in high-rise markets including Texas, Toronto and Chicago, with growth tempered by the ongoing community budgetary pressures referenced in our prior third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $46.0 million, an increase of 6% compared to $43.5 million reported in the prior year period. Operating Earnings were $34.4 million, versus $34.1 million for the fourth quarter of last year. Operating margins were relatively in-line with the prior year quarter.

FirstService Brands recorded revenues of $844.1 million, up 45% versus the prior year period. Revenues increased 16% on an organic basis primarily due to increased weather events and large-loss claims activity at our restoration operations, compared to the prior year quarter. The division top-line performance also included contribution from our Roofing Corp of America acquisition which was acquired in December 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $100.7 million, compared to $61.1 million in the prior year quarter. Operating Earnings were $69.9 million, versus $20.6 million in the prior year quarter. The segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increase was mainly due to operating leverage at our restoration operations, as well as continued realization of cost efficiencies within our home services brands. The Operating Earnings margin was further buoyed by the same acquisition-related fair value adjustments to contingent upside earn-out structures noted in the prior third quarter.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA, were $8.9 million in the fourth quarter, relative to $1.2 million in the prior year period. Corporate costs for the quarter were $14.7 million, relative to $6.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to non-cash foreign exchange adjustments.

Segmented Full Year Results
FirstService Residential reported revenues of $2.13 billion, up 7% relative to 2023, including 5% organic growth and the balance from tuck-under acquisitions. Organic growth was driven by new property management contract wins across most markets. Adjusted EBITDA was $199.3 million, up 6% versus the prior year. Operating Earnings were $159.2 million, compared to $155.0 million in the prior year. Operating margins were in-line with the prior year.

FirstService Brands revenues were $3.08 billion, up 32% versus the prior year, including 3% organic growth. Growth in the division was driven primarily by our Roofing Corp of America acquisition, together with solid organic growth at our Century Fire Protection operations. Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $339.5 million, up 40% relative to the prior year. Operating Earnings were $230.1 million, versus $126.5 million a year ago. The segment Adjusted EBITDA margin was positively impacted primarily by margin improvement within our home services brands. The Operating Earnings margin was further positively impacted from contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA, were $25.1 million for the full year, relative to $14.4 million in the prior year. Corporate costs were $51.8 million, relative to $36.6 million in 2023, with the increase driven primarily by the impact of non-cash foreign exchange adjustments, as well as stock-based compensation expense.

Notes
1. 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.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenues.
(1) Corporate is not an operating segment, but rather represent corporate overhead expenses not directly attributable to reportable segments and are therefore unallocated within segment operating earnings (loss) and Segment Adjusted EBITDA.

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.
