For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024:

  • Revenue reached $1.3 billion, an increase of $83 million, or 7%, over the corresponding period of 2022, comprised of 1% organic growth and 6% growth from acquisitions.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* amounted to $61 million, a decrease of $6 million, or 9%, over the corresponding period of 2023.
  • Net income was $2 million or $0.09 per share compared to $5 million or $0.19 per share over the corresponding period of 2023. The decrease in net income in the first six months of 2024 compared to 2023 is mainly due to lower operating income of $14 million, which is primarily attributable to an increase in amortization and depreciation expense of $9 million resulting from a significant reduction in the amortized value of a large customer contract in the quarter, which was partially offset by lower net finance expense of $10 million and lower income tax expense of $1 million.

GDI's Business Services Canada segment recorded $145 million in revenue in the second quarter while generating $12 million in Adjusted EBITDA*, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin* of 8%. GDI's Business Services USA segment performed well in Q2 2024, recording revenue of $221 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $14 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin* of 6%.

The Technical Services segment recorded revenue of $259 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $14 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin* of 5%. Historically, the first half of the year in the Technical Services segment is seasonally slower and the business ramps up as the year progresses.

Finally, GDI's Corporate and Other recorded revenue of $14 million compared to revenue of $21 million in Q2 2023, the decrease being attributable to the sale of its Superior cleaning and sanitation products distribution business on April 1, 2024, which was partially offset by organic growth generated by GDI's chemical manufacturing business.

"I am pleased with GDI's overall performance in Q2 2024, we were able to overcome specific challenges that affected our business in recent quarters and delivered solid results," stated Claude Bigras, President & CEO of GDI. "Our Business Services Canada segment performed well with a sequential increase in Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA* margin over the first quarter of 2024. Occupancy levels in the Class A office market in Canada are remaining stable and we continue to expect Adjusted EBITDA* margin in the segment to remain higher than pre-COVID levels for the near-to-mid term. Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA Margin* were slightly lower than Q2 2023 due to COVID-related gains realized in the prior year's quarter. Our Business Services USA segment performed well during the quarter to mitigate the revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* impact of the previously announced supplier realignment of one of the segment's largest clients which became effective just prior to the start of Q2. In fact, the business delivered both positive organic revenue growth and an increase in Adjusted EBITDA* compared to Q2 2023 despite the revenue loss experienced during the quarter, which serves to demonstrate the resiliency of the business and the strength of our team. The integration of the Atalian acquisition has been progressing as planned and our margin improvement initiatives are progressively being realized. The previously announced Paramount Building Solutions acquisition, that closed on May 1, 2024, has been substantially integrated and has been performing in-line with expectations. Our Technical Services segment had a very good quarter with Adjusted EBITDA* growth of 75% over Q1 2024 and 17% over Q2 2023. The three projects in our U.S. business that negatively impacted the segment's results in the past two quarters were successfully closed out in Q1, and enhanced procedures were put in place to augment project management in the region. The business delivered Adjusted EBITDA* margin of 5% which was in-line with historic levels in the segment's seasonally weak second quarter. We are continuing to improve pricing and margins and still selling as much new contracts as in the past producing a near record backlog. Finally, Ainsworth completed the acquisition of RYCOM Corporation on June 1, 2024. RYCOM develops, deploys, and manages smart building solutions that enable the end-to-end transformation of real estate assets into smart buildings and is recognized as the leader in smart building solutions in Canada. This acquisition considerably strengthens Ainsworth's Energy & Technology business unit and positions GDI as a leading player in the Canadian marketplace in building technologies, data analytics and advisory services for energy and greenhouse gas reduction," continued Mr. Bigras.

"With the recent challenges behind us, the outlook for all of GDI's business segments is positive for the remainder of 2024. Our initiatives to reduce working capital requirements during 2024 are continuing and we remain committed to deliver a total reduction in operating working capital in the second half of the year. Our balance sheet remains healthy and we have sufficient room on our existing credit facilities to continue to execute on our strategic growth plans. I look forward to GDI's performance through the remainder of 2024," concluded Mr. Bigras.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this MD&A may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of securities laws.

In particular, statements regarding GDI's future operating results and economic performance, and its objectives and strategies are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain factors and assumptions including expected growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities, which GDI believes are reasonable as of the current date. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to the Company, they may prove to be incorrect. It is impossible for GDI to predict with certainty the impact that the current economic uncertainties may have on future results. Forward-looking information is also subject to certain factors, including risks and uncertainties (described in the "Risk Factors" section) that could cause actual results to differ materially from what GDI currently expects. Namely, these factors include risks pertaining to unsuccessful implementation of the business strategy, changes to business structure, inherent operating risks from acquisition activity, failure to integrate an acquired company, decline in commercial real estate occupancy levels, increase in costs which cannot be passed on to customers, labour shortages, disruption in information technology systems and execution issues with Strategic IT projects, increases in interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, deterioration in economic conditions, increase in competition,  influence of the principal shareholders, loss of key or long-term customers, public procurement laws and regulations, legal proceedings, reputational damage, labour disputes, disputes with franchisees, environmental, social and governance ("ESG") considerations, goodwill and long-lived assets impairment charges, tax matters, key employees, participation in multi-employer pension plans, legislation or other governmental action, cybersecurity, data confidentiality and data protection, and public perception of our environmental footprint, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Therefore, future events and results may vary significantly from what management currently foresees. The reader should not place undue importance on forward-looking information and should not rely upon this information as of any other date. While management may elect to, the Company is under no obligation and does not undertake to update or alter this information at any particular time, except as may be required by law.

______________________________

* The terms "Adjusted EBITDA" and "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, transaction, reorganization and other costs, share-based compensation and strategic information technology projects configuration and customization costs. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenues. For more details and for a reconciliation of that measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, consult the "Segmented Information" tables at the end of this press release.
