TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX:FSV, NASDAQ:FSV) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025. All amounts are in US dollars.

Consolidated revenues for the third quarter were $1.45 billion, a 4% increase relative to the same quarter in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA (note 1) increased 3% to $164.8 million, and Adjusted EPS (note 2) was $1.76, reflecting 8% growth over the prior year quarter. During the third quarter, FirstService reported GAAP Operating Earnings of $115.6 million, versus $125.9 million in the prior year period. GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.24 in the quarter, versus $1.34 for the same quarter a year ago.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, consolidated revenues were $4.11 billion, a 7% increase relative to the comparable prior year period, Adjusted EBITDA was $425.2 million, up 13%, and Adjusted EPS was $4.39, an increase of 20% over the prior year period. FirstService's GAAP Operating Earnings were $252.2 million in the current year period, versus $247.9 million in the prior year. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the nine months year-to-date was $2.32, compared to $2.26 in the prior year period.

"We are pleased with the resilient growth in our consolidated third quarter results, despite weather-related and broader commercial macroeconomic headwinds which tempered the organic top-line within our Brands division," said Scott Patterson, Chief Executive Officer of FirstService. "While we see these market challenges continuing to impact our performance in the fourth quarter, our businesses will collectively deliver a solid year of growth and profitability," he concluded.

Segmented Quarterly Results

FirstService Residential revenues were $605.4 million for the third quarter, up 8% compared to the prior year quarter, including organic growth of 5% driven by new contract wins. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $66.4 million, an increase of 13% compared to the prior year period. Operating Earnings were $53.3 million, versus $49.1 million for the third quarter of last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin compared to the prior year reflects sustained progress with labor-driven operational efficiencies, consistent with improvements realized in recent quarters.

FirstService Brands revenues during the third quarter were $842.1 million, up 1% relative to the prior year period. On an organic basis, division revenues declined 4%, with reduced activity levels in our restoration and roofing operations offsetting strong growth at Century Fire Protection. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $102.1 million, compared to $105.8 million in the prior year period. Operating Earnings were $73.7 million, versus $87.1 million in the prior year quarter. Margins for the division were lower than prior year due to the negative operating leverage associated with the decline in organic revenue growth at our restoration and roofing service lines. The decrease in the Operating Earnings margin was further impacted by the comparison to an acquisition-related positive fair value adjustment on a contingent upside earn-out structure which we previously noted in the prior year quarter.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA (note 1), were $3.7 million in the third quarter, relative to $4.4 million in the prior year period. GAAP corporate costs for the quarter were $11.4 million, relative to $10.2 million in the prior year period.

Notes

1. Reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other (income) expense; (iii) interest expense; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) acquisition-related items; and (vi) stock-based compensation expense. The Company uses Consolidated adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its own operating performance, its ability to service debt, and 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. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA are presented as a supplemental measure because the Company believes such a measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance, due to the low capital intensity of the Company's 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 and segment 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 diluted net earnings per 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 expense related to 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 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 net earnings to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings per share to adjusted EPS appears below.
