“We delivered strong third quarter revenues powered by organic growth and our excellent M&A engine. In addition, we strategically managed through inflationary headwinds, most notably rising fuel prices, with tenacity and focus on positioning BrightView for long-term success,” said Andrew Masterman, BrightView President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although we are operating in a dynamic environment, our business fundamentals remain strong, our execution is at the highest level and our strategy is validated by the momentum in our business, giving us confidence that we remain poised for long-term profitable growth.”

1Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for more information. The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its financial outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), its corresponding GAAP measure, because the GAAP measure that is excluded from its non-GAAP financial outlook is difficult to reliably predict or estimate without unreasonable effort due to its dependence on future uncertainties, such as items discussed below. Additionally, information that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” sections for more information.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2022, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment increased by $37.2 million, or 7.1%, from the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by a $15.7 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses combined with an increase of $12.0 million, or 2.3%, in underlying commercial landscape services underpinned by a combination of contract services growth and to a greater extent ancillary services growth. Snow removal services increased $9.5 million principally driven by higher snowfall.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $1.4 million to $89.2 million from $90.6 million in the 2021 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased 140 basis points, to 15.9%, in the three months ended June 30, 2022, from 17.3% in the 2021 period. The decreases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were principally driven by higher fuel costs and increased selling, general & administrative costs, including the reinstatement of the employer match for the employee savings plan and the investment to grow our business development team, which were partially offset by increases in revenues from underlying commercial landscape services and acquisitions discussed above.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment increased by $75.0 million, or 5.1%, from the 2021 period. The increase was primarily driven by a $63.5 million, or 5.3%, increase in underlying commercial landscape services underpinned by a combination of contract services growth and to a greater extent ancillary services growth, as well as a $60.7 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses. Offsetting this was a decrease of $28.1 million in snow removal services, net of $21.1 million from acquired businesses, due to overall less snowfall during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the 2021 period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $15.1 million to $197.4 million from $212.5 million in the 2021 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased 170 basis points, to 12.7%, in the nine months ended June 30, 2022, from 14.4% in the 2021 period. The decreases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were principally driven by the decrease in snow removal revenues and higher fuel costs which were partially offset by increases in revenues from underlying commercial landscape services and acquisitions discussed above.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2022, revenue in the Development Services Segment increased by $36.1 million, or 24.0%, compared to the prior year. The increase was principally driven by an increase in Development Services project volumes of $21.1 million coupled with $15.0 million of revenue contributions from acquired businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $2.2 million, to $20.9 million, compared to the 2021 period principally due to the increase in revenues described above. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased 120 basis points, to 11.2% for the quarter from 12.4% in the prior year primarily as a result of increased use of subcontractors due to the mix of projects performed during the period, reinstatement of the employer match for the employee savings plan and higher fuel costs, partially offset by lower material costs as a percentage of revenue.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, revenue in the Development Services Segment increased by $96.1 million, or 23.7%, compared to the 2021 period. The increase was principally driven by a $51.8 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses combined with an increase of $44.3 million due to additional project volumes.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment nine months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.6 million, to $48.2 million, compared to the 2021 period principally due to the increase in revenues described above, partially offset by higher materials costs. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased 190 basis points, to 9.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, from 11.5% in the 2021 period, primarily as a result of higher materials and fuel costs as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by lower labor and subcontractor costs as a percentage of revenue.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $67.7 million, to $65.7 million, from $133.4 million in the prior year. This decrease was due to a decrease in the cash provided by accounts payable and other operating liabilities principally due to the repayment of the payroll tax deferral under the CARES Act coupled with a reduction in cash provided by other operating assets. This was partially offset by an increase in cash provided by unbilled and deferred revenue and accounts receivable.

Free Cash Flow decreased $113.2 million to an outflow of $17.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from an inflow of $96.2 million in the prior year. The decrease in Free Cash Flow was due to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities described above, and an increase in cash used for capital expenditures, as described below.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, capital expenditures were $88.1 million, compared with $44.7 million in the 2021 period driven principally by receipted orders previously impacted by pandemic-related supply chain challenges. The Company also generated proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $5.4 million and $7.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net of the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, net capital expenditures represented 4.0% and 2.0% of revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected include, but are not limited to: general business economic and financial conditions; the duration and extent of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its resurgence, and the impact of federal, state and local governmental actions and customer behavior in response to the pandemic, including possible additional or reinstated restrictions as a result of a resurgence of the pandemic; competitive industry pressures; the failure to retain current customers, renew existing customer contracts and obtain new customer contracts; the failure to enter into profitable contracts, or maintaining customer contracts that are unprofitable; a determination by customers to reduce their outsourcing or use of preferred vendors; the dispersed nature of our operating structure; our ability to implement our business strategies and achieve our growth objectives; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from our business acquisitions will not be realized in full or at all or may take longer to realize than expected; the possibility that costs or difficulties related to the integration of acquired businesses’ operations will be greater than expected and the possibility that integration efforts will disrupt our business and strain management time and resources; the seasonal nature of our landscape maintenance services; our dependence on weather conditions; increases in prices for raw materials, labor and fuel caused by rising inflation or otherwise; changes in our ability to source adequate supplies and materials in a timely manner; any failure to accurately estimate the overall risk, requirements, or costs when we bid on or negotiate contracts that are ultimately awarded to us; the conditions and periodic fluctuations of real estate markets, including residential and commercial construction; our ability to retain or hire our executive management and other key personnel; our ability to attract and retain trained workers and third-party contractors and re-employ seasonal workers; any failure to properly verify employment eligibility of our employees; subcontractors taking actions that harm our business; our recognition of future impairment charges; laws and governmental regulations, including those relating to employees, wage and hour, immigration, human health and safety and transportation; environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including regulatory costs, claims and litigation related to the use of chemicals and pesticides by employees and related third-party claims; the distraction and impact caused by litigation, of adverse litigation judgments and settlements resulting from legal proceedings; increase in on-job accidents involving employees; any failure, inadequacy, interruption, security failure or breach of our information technology systems; our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property; restrictions imposed by our debt agreements that limit our flexibility in operating our business; our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our significant debt service obligations; our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or other general corporate requirements; increases in interest rates governing our variable rate indebtedness increasing the cost of servicing our substantial indebtedness including changes related to LIBOR reform; ownership of our common stock; occurrence of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, geopolitical events, hostilities or other external events; changes in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States; our ability to pursue and achieve our environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) focus area goals; unexpected delays, difficulties, and expenses encountered or incurred in pursuing our ESG goals and costs and requirements imposed as a result of maintaining the requirement of being a public company.

Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and aid understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Earnings per Share”, “Free Cash Flow”, “Total Financial Debt”, “Total Net Financial Debt” and “Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio”. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio assist investors in comparing our results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management regularly uses these measures as tools in evaluating our operating performance, financial performance and liquidity. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to supplement comparable GAAP measures in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA, defined above, divided by Net Service Revenues.

Adjusted Net Income: We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) including interest and depreciation, and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions and the removal of the discrete tax items.

Adjusted Earnings per Share: We define Adjusted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Free Cash Flow: We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

Total Financial Debt: We define Total Financial Debt as total long-term debt, net of original issue discount, and finance/capital lease obligations.

Total Net Financial Debt: We define Total Net Financial Debt as Total Financial Debt minus total cash and cash equivalents.

Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio: We define Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio as Total Net Financial Debt divided by the trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or the ratio of net income (loss) to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

Represents the tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted Net Income and the removal of the applicable discrete tax items, which collectively result in a reduction of income tax. The tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted Net Income is computed using the statutory rate related to the jurisdiction that was impacted by the adjustment after taking into account the impact of permanent differences and valuation allowances. Discrete tax items include changes in laws or rates, changes in uncertain tax positions relating to prior years and changes in valuation allowances.

Represents isolated expenses specifically related to the integration of acquired companies such as one-time employee retention costs, employee onboarding and training costs, and fleet and uniform rebranding costs. The Company excludes Business integration costs from the measures disclosed above since such expenses vary in amount due to the number of acquisitions and size of acquired companies as well as factors specific to each acquisition, and as a result lack predictability as to occurrence and/or timing, and create a lack of comparability between periods.

(h)

 

Represents expenses related to distinct initiatives, typically significant enterprise-wide changes. Such expenses are excluded from the measures disclosed above since such expenses vary in amount based on occurrence as well as factors specific to each of the activities, are outside of the normal operations of the business, and create a lack of comparability between periods.
