LASALLE, QC, March 4, 2025 /CNW/ - GDI Integrated Facility Services Inc. ("GDI" or the "Company") (TSX: GDI) is pleased to announce its financial results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2024.

For the fourth quarter of 2024:

• Revenue reached $634 million, an increase of $12  million, or 2%, over the fourth quarter of 2023, comprised of 2 % growth from acquisition, 1% growth from foreign currency translation, partially offset by an organic decline of 2%.
• Adjusted EBITDA^* amounted to $38 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA* margin of 6%.
• Net income was $23 million or $1.00 per share compared to $6 million or $0.26 per share in Q4 2023. The increase of net income is mainly explained by the gain on business disposals recorded in the year.
• Long-term debt, net of cash* decreased by $36 million in the quarter. The decrease is mainly attributable to business disposal as well as cash flow from operations generated in the quarter. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $19 million from the appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.
• Net operating working capital* reduction of $19 million in the quarter.

For the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023, the business segments performed as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2024:

• Revenue reached $2.56 billion, an increase of $118 million, or 5%, compared to 2023 which is mostly attributable to the effect of business acquisitions and disposals.
• Adjusted EBITDA^* amounted to $137 million, a decrease of $6 million, or 4%, compared to 2023.
• Net income was $32 million or $1.37 per share compared to $19 million or $0.80 per share in 2023. The increase of net income is mainly explained by the gain on business disposals recorded in the year.           

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the business segments performed as follows:

GDI's Business Services Canada segment recorded $150 million in revenue while generating $12 million in Adjusted EBITDA^*, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin^* of 8%. GDI's Business Services USA segment recorded revenue of $217 million and Adjusted EBITDA^* of 14$ million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin^* of 6%. Business Services USA experienced an organic revenue decline due to the loss of the segment's largest client at the end of Q1 2024. This loss had been mostly mitigated by new customers wins in the previous quarters. However, revenue generated by one new customer fluctuates based on the volume of recurring project work which was lower in Q4. Additionally, as announced in Q3 2024, Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter in GDI's Business Service segments was approximately $3 million dollars lower on a combined basis as there was one extra working day in the quarter compared to Q4 2023.

The Technical Services segment recorded revenue of $257 million and Adjusted EBITDA^* of $18 million, up by $4 million compared to Q3 2024, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin^* of 7% compared to 6% in Q3 2024. The segment experienced an organic revenue growth of 4% and growth of 3% from acquisitions.

Finally, GDI's Corporate and Other segment recorded revenue of $10 million compared to revenue of $22 million in Q4 2023, with comparable negative Adjusted EBITDA* of $6 million in both quarters. The decline in revenue is primarily attributable to business divestitures during Fiscal 2024.

"I am satisfied with GDI's performance in Q4 2024," stated Claude Bigras, President & CEO of GDI. "We generated $634 million in revenue and $38 million in Adjusted EBITDA, despite the extra working day impact of approximately $3 million in our Business Services segments on a quarter over quarter basis. Our Business Services Canada segment delivered healthy organic growth while maintaining an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8%, which was in-line with the other three quarters of fiscal 2024. Despite the challenges that the commercial real estate industry experienced in 2024, our Business Services Canada platform demonstrated its ability to deliver solid and stable results. Our Business Services USA segment experienced a decline in organic revenue due to the loss of GDI's largest client at the end of Q1 2024. We had replaced most of this loss through new client wins but one new client's revenue stream is primarily project-based and volumes were lower in Q4 than earlier in the year. Additionally, we continued to shed uneconomic accounts acquired under the Atalian acquisition. The Business Services USA segment recently secured a number of new business wins that have just started or will be starting up during Q1 and Q2 2025. Quarter over quarter revenue comparisons should normalize beginning in Q2 2025 and we expect to return to more traditional organic growth levels as the year progresses. Our Technical Services segment had another strong quarter as it generated $257 million in revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 7%. Our initiatives to increase margins in the retrofit project segment of the business which we implemented in Q3 2023 were the main driver of margin growth. It should help support the margin profile of the business in 2025 and help us realize our goal to generate an annual Adjusted EBITDA margin of 7% for the segment" continued Mr. Bigras.

"GDI also delivered on its two key balance sheet initiatives during Q4 2024. We generated a reduction in net operating working capital* of $19 million over Q3 2024. Additionally, we successfully reduced our long-term debt, net of cash* by $36 million in Q4 as a result of working capital reduction and strong cash flow. We still expect proceeds from unused real estate divestitures to generate $25 million to $30 million of cash in 2025.  Our outlook for 2025 is positive for each of our business segments, our balance sheet is solid with a leverage ratio below 3x, and we are well positioned to continue to execute on our strategic growth strategy," concluded Mr. Bigras.
