For the first two quarters of 2021 and 2020, the business segments performed as follows:

(in thousands of Canadian dollars)	Janitorial Canada		Janitorial USA		Technical Services		Complementary Services		Consolidated
	2021	2020	2021	2020	2021	2020	2021	2020	2021	2020
Revenue	259,969	258,149	154,750	163,479	316,277	229,037	31,817	41,870	755,791	681,584
Organic Growth (Decline)	0.7%	(3.4%)	3.3%	(2.2%)	9.6%	(8.8%)	(24.0%)	15.3%	3.4%	(3.0%)

GDI's Janitorial Canada segment had a strong second quarter, recording $126.1 million in revenue representing an organic growth of 6.0%, while delivering $18.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA¹, an increase of 20.3% over Q2 2020. GDI's Janitorial USA segment also performed well in Q2 2021, recording revenue of $74.9 million representing organic growth of 4.6% and Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $7.2 million, an increase of 5.0% over Q2 2020. The Janitorial Canada and Janitorial USA segments are continuing to perform well with many clients requiring enhanced recurring services and specialty services due to the COVID-19. We see this trend continuing in our cleaning businesses until the COVID-19 virus becomes less of a threat within society.

The Technical Services segment performed extremely well during Q2 2021, recording Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $9.9 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ of 6.2%. This segment was greatly affected in the second quarter of 2020 by the complete shut-down of operations in most markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, which limited its Adjusted EBITDA¹ to $0.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ to 0.1%.

GDI's Complementary services segment recorded a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA¹ and Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ in Q2 2021 as compared to the prior year. While this segment continued to experience demand for personal protective equipment, it is however at a lesser level compared with Q2 2020 where demand was abnormally high in response to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. This segment is currently operating in a more balanced supply/demand environment for COVID-related products than was experienced at the onset of the pandemic and remains affected by significantly low occupancy rates during the second quarter of 2021 as it experienced a decrease in demand for day-to-day cleaning supplies such as soaps, towels and tissues. As occupancy levels begin to rise, we expect to see a rebound in demand for daily consumables in this business segment.

"I am very pleased with GDI's performance during Q2 2021," stated Claude Bigras, President & CEO of GDI. "While we experienced declining COVID infection rates and the beginning of gradual regional economic reopenings in the U.S. and Canada during Q2, the threat of the virus remains but has a positive effect on our janitorial business. We are working closely with our clients to help them develop reoccupying plans to ensure that their facilities are safe environments for occupants to return to. There continues to be a significant amount of uncertainty around the path the virus will take, with recent increases in case count numbers in certain Provinces and States driven by the Delta variant, and we continue to believe that as long as COVID-19 remains a risk to our society our Janitorial business segments will perform well as our clients look to GDI for expertise and enhanced support to keep their facilities safe. At present, many of our commercial office clients are planning to reoccupy their offices in the fall of 2021, and we are prepared to be there to support them through our enhanced cleaning service offerings. Ainsworth, our Technical Services segment has recovered nicely from the wide-spread pandemic shutdowns experienced in Q2 2020. Our on-call service business is operating at pre-pandemic levels, our project business has resumed, and we are actively engaging in discussions with clients on technologies and solutions to implement enhanced air quality within their facilities. We have a record backlog in our Technical Services segment and are expecting the second half of the year to be robust. Finally, our Complementary Services segment faced some continued challenges during the second quarter as building occupancy was quite low, but as buildings begin to reoccupy we are well positioned for better performance in the upcoming quarters," added Mr. Bigras.

"After more than 16-months operating in pandemic mode, GDI has proven to be resilient and capable of providing strong operational performance, even in a challenging and uncertain environment. Due to the exceptional performance GDI has delivered since the beginning of the pandemic, our balance sheet is stronger than it has ever been, our leverage ratios are at all-time lows, and we are in a solid financial position. We continue to focus on our growth through acquisition strategy and our financial strength will enable us to capitalize on strategic opportunities as they arise," concluded Mr. Bigras.
