Kingsway Financial Services, Inc.: Kingsway Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Finanznachrichten News

Management to Host Conference Call Today at 5 p.m. ET

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS / ACCESS Newswire / May 8, 2025 / (NYSE:KFS) Kingsway Financial Services Inc. ("Kingsway" or the "Company"), the only publicly-traded US company employing the Search Fund model to acquire and build great businesses, today announced its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

First Quarter 2025 Consolidated Financial Highlights

  • Consolidated revenue increased 8.4% to $28.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $26.2 million in the prior year period

    • Kingsway Search Xcelerator ("KSX") revenue increased 23.3% to $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the Image Solutions and Bud's Plumbing acquisitions

    • Extended Warranty revenue remained flat at $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2024; however, cash sales were up 3.7% over prior year and up 9.3% sequentially

  • Consolidated net loss was $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $2.3 million in the prior year period

  • Twelve month run-rate adjusted EBITDA for the operating companies is $18.0 million to $19.0 million; this number is intended to capture the 12-month trailing adjusted EBITDA of what the company currently owns or has recently acquired and is not intended to be forward-looking guidance

  • Adjusted consolidated EBITDA decreased $0.7 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2.1 million in the prior year period

    • KSX adjusted EBITDA was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $1.6 million in the year ago period. The prior year period excludes Image Solutions and Bud's Plumbing

    • Extended Warranty adjusted EBITDA was $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $1.4 million in the year ago period

  • The Company had total net debt of $53.1 million as of March 31, 2025, compared with $52.0 million as of December 31, 2024

Recent Business Highlights

  • On March 17, 2025, Kingsway announced the acquisition of M.L.C. Plumbing, LLC (d/b/a Bud's Plumbing Service, "Bud's Plumbing") for $5.0 million. The business is immediately accretive, adding $6.0 million in annual unaudited revenue and $0.8 million in annual unaudited adjusted EBITDA to Kingsway

  • On April 2, 2025, Kingsway announced the appointment of Rob Humble to be President and CEO of Kingsway's dealer warranty businesses, PWI and Penn Warranty. Mr. Humble's background and compensation structure are both more closely aligned with that of Kingsway's Search Xcelerator CEO's

  • On April 30, 2025, Kingsway announced the acquisition of @Work International Pty Ltd ("ViewPoint"), a cloud native timeshare software firm headquartered in Australia, by Kingsway's subsidiary Systems Products International Inc. ("SPI Software"), to advance SPI Software's leadership in the vacation ownership software market

Management Commentary

"Kingsway made solid progress in the first quarter of 2025, both financially and strategically," said JT Fitzgerald, Kingsway's President and CEO. "KSX revenue grew 23.3% year-on-year and KSX adjusted EBITDA grew 23.2% year-on-year. Under the surface, our operator CEO's are executing their strategic plans to position their businesses for accelerating growth on both the top and bottom lines.

"Importantly, Kingsway has already completed two acquisitions this year under the KSX umbrella. In March, Kingsway acquired Bud's Plumbing and established KSX Skilled Trade Services, our third KSX operating platform. In April, SPI Software acquired ViewPoint to accelerate its product roadmap and to open up exciting opportunities for geographic and market expansion. I'm thrilled to welcome Rob Casper, who leads the KSX Skilled Trades Services platform, as our newest operator CEO, and to continue supporting Drew Richard, President of SPI Software, who leads the KSX Vertical Market Solutions platform.

"I'm also encouraged by the momentum building in Kingsway's Extended Warranty segment. Although adjusted EBITDA declined year-over-year in the first quarter, the business has returned to growth in cash sales, and key forward-looking indicators of profitability are now solidly positive. After two challenging years marked by industry headwinds and cyclical pressures, Extended Warranty appears to be entering a more favorable phase of recovery, with early signs pointing to both healthy top-line growth and renewed operating leverage.

"Kingsway is well-positioned for the months and years ahead, and the first quarter was another step in the right direction," concluded Mr. Fitzgerald. "Our KSX deal pipeline is robust, and we remain committed to employing the Search Fund model to acquire and grow asset-light, profitable, and recurring revenue services businesses that can deliver compelling returns for our shareholders."

Non U.S. GAAP Financial Measure

Management believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provides useful information about the Company's operating results and enhances the overall ability to assess the Company's financial performance. Management uses non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA allows investors to make a more meaningful comparison between the Company's core business operating results over different periods of time. Management believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company's results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about the Company's business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by the factors listed in the attached schedules, Management believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA can provide useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP to understand the Company's performance taking into account all relevant factors.
