Company Provides Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance

  • Fiscal Year Total Revenue of $2.825 - $2.975 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $310 - $340 million.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for more information. The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its financial outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), its corresponding GAAP measure, because the GAAP measure that is excluded from its non-GAAP financial outlook is difficult to reliably predict or estimate without unreasonable effort due to its dependence on future uncertainties, such as items discussed below. Additionally, information that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.

BrightView Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BV) (the “Company” or “BrightView”), the leading commercial landscaping services company in the United States, today reported unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, total revenue increased 2.8% to a record $743.7 million, driven by $26.7 million in Development Services, or 3.7% of the total increase year-over-year, and $5.2 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses, or 0.7% of the total increase year-over-year. These increases were partially offset by a $12.9 million decrease in Maintenance organic revenue year-over-year.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, total revenue increased 1.5% to a record $2,816.0 million, driven by $61.1 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses, or 2.2% of the total percentage increase year over year, and $47.8 million in Development Services, or 1.7% of the total percentage increase year over year. These increases were partially offset by a $62.9 million decrease in organic snow removal services revenue year-over-year.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment decreased by $7.7 million, or 1.5%, from the prior year. The decrease was driven by a decrease of $12.6 million in underlying commercial landscape services, partially offset by $5.2 million revenue contribution from acquired businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by $0.3 million to $81.7 million from $81.4 million in the 2022 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 30 basis points to 15.7%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 15.4% in the 2022 period. The increases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were driven by decreases in materials and labor costs, inclusive of compensation-related costs.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment decreased by $15.5 million, or 0.7%, from the 2022 period. The decrease was driven by a decrease of $47.3 million in snow removal services due to lower snowfall, net of $15.6 million from acquired businesses. Partially offsetting this was a $31.8 million increase in landscape services revenue consisting of a $34.1 million contribution from acquired businesses and a decrease of $2.3 million, or 0.1%, in underlying commercial landscape services.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 decreased by $0.9 million to $277.9 million from $278.8 million in the 2022 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 13.4% in each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The relatively flat Segment Adjusted EBITDA had offsetting impacts from the decrease in Maintenance Services Segment revenues described above and disciplined management of labor and materials costs as well as lower fuel costs.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, revenue in the Development Services Segment increased by $26.7 million, or 13.5%, compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by an increase in Development Services project volumes of $26.7 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $3.6 million to $29.1 million compared to the 2022 period and Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 10 basis points to 13.0% for the quarter from 12.9% in the prior year. The increases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were primarily driven by the increase in revenues described above coupled with decreased compensation-related costs. These increases were partially offset by increased labor costs attributable to the mix of projects relative to the prior year.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, revenue in the Development Services Segment increased by $59.2 million, or 8.5%, compared to the 2022 period. The increase was principally driven by an increase of $47.8 million due to additional project volumes combined with an $11.4 million contribution from acquired businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 increased $9.1 million to $82.8 million compared to the 2022 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 40 basis points to 10.9% for the period from 10.5% in the 2022 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased principally due to the increase in revenues described above coupled with lower materials costs as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by the mix of labor compared to the prior period.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 increased $23.0 million to $129.9 million from $106.9 million in the prior year. This increase was due to a decrease in cash used by accounts payable and other operating liabilities and an increase in cash provided by other operating assets. This was partially offset by an increase in cash used by accounts receivable and an increase in net loss.

Free Cash Flow increased $73.5 million to $80.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 from $6.7 million in the prior year. The increase in free cash flows was driven by a decrease of $79.3 million in cash used for acquisitions, a decrease of $36.0 million in capital expenditures and an increase of $14.5 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in comparison to the 2022 period.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, capital expenditures were $71.3 million compared with $107.3 million in the 2022 period. The Company also generated proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $21.6 million and $7.1 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net of the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, net capital expenditures represented 1.8% and 3.6% of revenue in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in our filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and aid understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted Earnings per Share”, “Adjusted weighted average number of common shares outstanding”, “Free Cash Flow”, “Total Financial Debt”, “Total Net Financial Debt” and “Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio”. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio assist investors in comparing our results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management regularly uses these measures as tools in evaluating our operating performance, financial performance and liquidity. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to supplement comparable GAAP measures in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA, defined above, divided by Net Service Revenues.

Adjusted Net Income: We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) including interest and depreciation, and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions and the removal of the discrete tax items.

Adjusted Earnings per Share: We define Adjusted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding.

Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding: We define Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding as the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus shares of common stock related to the Series A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis, assumed to be converted for the entire period. The addition of shares of common stock related to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis reflects the dilutive impact of the potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and is expected to provide comparability in future periods.

Free Cash Flow: We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

Total Financial Debt: We define Total Financial Debt as total long-term debt, net of original issue discount, and finance/capital lease obligations.

Total Net Financial Debt: We define Total Net Financial Debt as Total Financial Debt minus total cash and cash equivalents.

Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio: We define Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio as Total Net Financial Debt divided by the trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or the ratio of net income (loss) to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to the same or other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

(d)

Represents expenses related to the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, principally temporary and incremental salary and related expenses, personal protective equipment, cleaning and supply purchases, and other.  Additionally, fiscal year 2022 includes refunds related to employee retention credits allowed under the CARES Act.

Represents losses on the extinguishment of debt related to Amendments No. 7 and No. 6 to the Credit Agreement, in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and includes accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees and original issue discount as well as fees paid to lenders and third parties.

(f)

Represents the tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted Net Income and the removal of the applicable discrete tax items, which collectively result in an increase or decrease in income tax. The tax effect of pre-tax items excluded from Adjusted Net Income is computed using the statutory rate related to the jurisdiction that was impacted by the adjustment after taking into account the impact of permanent differences and valuation allowances. Discrete tax items include changes in laws or rates, changes in uncertain tax positions relating to prior years and changes in valuation allowances.

Represents isolated expenses specifically related to the integration of acquired companies such as one-time employee retention costs, employee onboarding and training costs, and fleet and uniform rebranding costs. The Company excludes Business integration costs from the measures disclosed above since such expenses vary in amount due to the number of acquisitions and size of acquired companies as well as factors specific to each acquisition, and as a result lack predictability as to occurrence and/or timing, and create a lack of comparability between periods.

(i)

Represents expenses related to distinct initiatives, typically significant enterprise-wide changes. Such expenses are excluded from the measures disclosed above since such expenses vary in amount based on occurrence as well as factors specific to each of the activities, are outside of the normal operations of the business, and create a lack of comparability between periods.
