TORONTO, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX: FSV; NASDAQ: FSV) today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026. All amounts are in US dollars.

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter were $1.45 billion, a 2% increase relative to the same quarter in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA (note 1) increased 3% to $161.7 million, and Adjusted EPS (note 2) was $1.75, reflecting 2% growth over the prior year quarter. During the second quarter, FirstService reported GAAP Operating Earnings of $99.7 million, versus $97.3 million in the prior year period. GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.00 in the quarter, versus $1.01 for the same quarter a year ago.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, consolidated revenues were $2.77 billion, a 4% increase relative to the comparable prior year period, Adjusted EBITDA was $267.4 million, up 3%, and Adjusted EPS was $2.69, an increase of 2% over the prior year period. FirstService's GAAP Operating Earnings were $146.3 million in the current year period, versus $136.5 million in the prior year. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the six months year-to-date was $1.43, compared to $1.07 in the prior year period.

"Our second quarter results delivered profitability in line with our expectations, reflecting disciplined execution by our teams as we navigated continued macroeconomic headwinds that tempered organic growth," said Scott Patterson, Chief Executive Officer of FirstService. "Given the persistence of these market conditions, we expect our top-line growth in the back half of the year to be similar or modestly better than our year-to-date performance," he concluded.

Segmented Quarterly Results
FirstService Residential revenues were $616.8 million for the second quarter, up 4% compared to the prior year quarter. Organic growth (note 1) was 5% driven by new contract wins and increases in other labor-related services. Organic performance exceeded our reported growth due to a divestiture at the start of the second quarter of non-core residential aquatic operations which served single-family homes. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $69.4 million, an increase of 6% compared to the prior year period. Operating Earnings were $53.0 million, versus $51.6 million for the second quarter of last year. Margins for the division were largely in-line with the prior year period.

FirstService Brands revenues during the second quarter were $832.4 million, up 1% relative to the prior year period. On an organic basis, division revenues declined 3%, with reduced activity levels at Roofing Corp. of America offsetting solid growth at Century Fire Protection. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $95.9 million, compared to $95.2 million in the prior year period. Operating Earnings were $58.2 million, versus $56.5 million in the prior year quarter. Division margins were comparable to the prior year period.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA (note 1), were $3.6 million in the second quarter, matching the amount in the prior year period. GAAP corporate costs for the quarter were $11.5 million, relative to $10.9 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) share-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.

(1) Corporate costs represent corporate selling, general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization and acquisition related items not directly attributable to reportable segments, and are therefore unallocated within segment operating earnings (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenues. Organic growth is defined as revenue growth adjusted to exclude the revenue attributable to acquired or disposed businesses for a period of twelve months following their acquisition or preceding their disposal.

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) share-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.
