• Q1 2023 revenue of $591 million, an increase of $96 million, or 19%, over Q1 2022.
• Q1 2023 Adjusted EBITDA^* of $33 million, a decrease of $3 million, or 8%, compared to Q1 2022.
• Q1 2023 net income of $4 million or $0.15 per share compared with $7 million or $0.30 per share for the first quarter of 2022.

LASALLE, QC, May 11, 2023 /CNW/ - GDI Integrated Facility Services Inc. ("GDI" or the "Company") (TSX: GDI) is pleased to announce its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

For the first quarter of 2023:

• Revenue reached $591 million, an increase of $96 million, or 19%, over the first quarter of 2022, comprised of 14% Organic Growth, 2% growth from acquisitions and 3% growth from the appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar.
• Adjusted EBITDA^* amounted to $33 million, a decrease of $3 million, or 8%, compared to the first quarter of 2022.
• Net income was $4 million or $0.15 per share compared to $7 million or $0.30 per share in Q1 2022. The decrease of net income in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 2022 is mainly attributable to lower operating income of $6 million, partially offset by lower net finance expense of $2 million and lower income tax expense of $1 million.

For the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, the business segments performed as follows:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	Business Services Canada ^(1)		Business Services USA ^(1)		Technical Services		Corporate and Other ^(2)		Consolidated
	2023	2022	2023	2022	2023	2022	2023	2022	2023	2022
Revenue	141	142	177	163	252	172	21	18	591	495
Organic (Decline) Growth	(1 %)	5 %	(2 %)	14 %	43 %	(2 %)	17 %	18 %	14 %	4 %
Adjusted EBITDA^* ^(3)	14	19	12	13	11	6	(4)	(2)	33	36
Adjusted EBITDA Margin^*	10 %	13 %	7 %	8 %	4 %	3 %	(19 %)	(11 %)	6 %	7 %

(1)	"Business Services Canada" formerly "Janitorial Canada" and "Business Services USA" formerly "Janitorial USA".
(2)	Comparative results have been recast to reflect a change in our reporting segments, as former Complementary Services and Corporate and eliminations segments are now grouped under Corporate and Other.
(3)	Adjusted EBITDA definition now exclude the strategic information technology projects configuration and customization costs. This change has no impact on the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

GDI's Business Services Canada segment had a good quarter, recording $141 million in revenue representing an organic revenue decline of 1%, while delivering $14 million in Adjusted EBITDA^*. GDI's Business Services USA segment also performed well in Q1 2023, recording revenue of $177 million, representing an organic revenue decline of 2%, and Adjusted EBITDA^* of $12 million. The organic revenue decline is attributable to a decrease in COVID-19 related extra services as compared to Q1 2022, which also led to lower Adjusted EBITDA* margin in both Business Services segments.

The Technical Services segment had a strong quarter, recording revenues of $252 million or growth of 47% over Q1 2022, including organic revenue growth of 43%. The segment recorded Adjusted EBITDA^* of $11 million compared to $6 million in Q1 2022, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin^* of 4%. Revenue growth for the business is attributable to a strong increase in project revenues and higher service revenues compared to previous year.

Finally, GDI's Corporate and Other segment recorded revenue of $21 million compared to revenue of $18 million in Q1 2022, representing Organic Growth of 17%, mainly due to GDI's integrated facility services business unit ("GDI IFS") which was launched at the beginning of 2022. The Corporate and Other segment is composed of GDI IFS, GDI's janitorial products manufacturing and distribution business as well as GDI's corporate costs and elimination of intercompany transactions.

"I am very pleased with GDI's performance in the first quarter of 2023," stated Claude Bigras, President & CEO of GDI. "As expected, we continued to see a reduction in COVID extras year-over-year in our Business Services segments which affected both organic growth and margins, however the base business within both our Canada and USA segments is performing well. Our Technical Services segment had a very strong quarter, nearly doubling Adjusted EBITDA and delivering 43% of organic growth. This growth resulted from Ainsworth executing on its significant projects backlog as well as solid growth on-call services. Even with this strong growth, Ainsworth booked more than it billed and ended the quarter with a backlog at record levels. Q1 remains Ainsworth's weakest quarter seasonally from a margin perspective as its HVAC service business only begins to ramp up mid-Q2 each year. Within GDI's new Corporate and Other segment, our IFS business continued to execute on its inaugural contracts while building out its pipeline of client opportunities, and our manufacturing and distribution business is gradually adapting to a lower office occupancy environment," stated Mr. Bigras.

"The outlook for all of our business segments remains very positive. We have a strong market position in Canada and we are steadily growing our U.S. footprint. The three acquisitions that GDI concluded in 2022 have been successfully onboarded and are all performing well. Our balance sheet, which has been supporting our strong organic growth, has a leverage ratio of less than 3.0x and will provide us with sufficient room to support our M&A team which is actively working on new opportunities. I am very much looking forward to seeing how GDI will perform for the remainder of 2023." concluded Mr. Bigras.

______________________________

* 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 "Operating and Financial Results" section of the Company's Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A).
