LASALLE, QC, Aug. 8, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - GDI Integrated Facility Services Inc. ("GDI" or the "Company") (TSX: GDI) is pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2019:

• Revenue reached $312.8 million, an increase of $46.0 million, or 17.2%, over the second quarter of 2018. Organic growth in the second quarter of 2019 was 7.0%, with the remaining revenue growth coming primarily from acquisition.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ amounted to $18.6 million, an increase of $5.1 million, or 37.9%, over the second quarter of 2018. This increase includes a favourable impact of $1.9 million from the adoption of IFRS 16. Excluding this impact, Adjusted EBITDA¹ would have been $16.7 million, or 24.2% higher than the second quarter of 2018, driven by strong growth in both the Janitorial USA and Technical Services business segments.
• Net income was $2.1 million or $0.10 per share compared to net income of $3.4 million or $0.16 per share in Q2 2018. Net income was negatively impacted by $1.9 million, net of tax, or $0.09 per share, by the remeasurement of cash settled share-based compensation due to the increase of GDI's stock price in the second quarter of 2019.
• As previously disclosed, GDI completed two acquisitions in the Technical services segment during the second quarter of 2019.

"We had another very good quarter in Q2. Our Janitorial USA business had another record quarter and is performing extremely well. The Technical services segment also had a strong quarter, with a 25.6% increase in revenue, and an increase in Adjusted EBITDA – Pre IFRS 16¹ of 27.7%, compared to Q2 2018. Our Janitorial Canada business delivered $7.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA – Pre IFRS 16¹ in the second quarter compared to $8.3 million in the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease is primarily related to our Modern franchise business as we are investing to develop our Territory franchise model, we had other non-recurring expenses in the quarter and our operating margin have decreased due to revenue mix change and higher operating costs. Finally, our Complementary Services segment had a good second quarter, in-line with expectations, with an increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin – Pre IFRS 16¹ of 7.0% compared to 6.3% in Q2 2018," stated Claude Bigras, President & CEO of GDI. 

"GDI's outlook for the remainder of 2019 remains positive, we are working on growing our business both organically and through acquisition while also managing our costs. During the first half of 2019, we generated cash flows from operating activities of $39.1 million, an increase of $35.2 million compared to the corresponding period of 2018. While we have invested $22.1 million in acquisitions in 2019 to-date, our debt has remain quite stable when excluding the impact of IFRS 16. We are comfortable with our debt leverage ratios and we are well positioned to continue to execute on our business plan and capitalize on strategic growth opportunities as they arise," concluded Mr. Bigras.

^1 The terms "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA margin", "Adjusted EBITDA – Pre IFRS 16" and "Pre-IFRS 16 Adjusted EBITDA margin" do not have standardized definitions prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards and therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment, transaction, reorganization and other costs and share-based compensation. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenues. Adjusted EBITDA – Pre-IFRS 16 is defined as Adjusted EBITDA without application of IFRS 16 to make it comparable to prior year figures. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin – Pre IFRS 16 is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA – Pre IFRS 16 by revenues. For more details and for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, consult the "Operating and Financial Results" section of the Company's MD&A.
