NEW BRIGHTON, Minn., August 03, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--APi Group Corporation (NYSE: APG) ("APi" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Russ Becker, APi’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "APi delivered record financial results in the second quarter and the first half of the year. The business continues to perform well and deliver on its commitments, driven by strong organic growth, led by U.S. Life Safety’s organic growth of approximately 12% and 16% for the second quarter and first half of 2023, respectively, and solid operational performance. I continue to be gratified by our leaders’ ability to build on historically strong execution and consistently drive margin expansion across variable macroeconomic environments through growing high-margin inspection, service and monitoring revenue, executing strategic pricing initiatives, and their relentless focus on customer and project selection.

We believe that we have strong momentum as we enter the back half of the year across our global platform allowing us to again increase our financial guidance. While we remain focused on executing in the back half of the year, I am proud of our team and how we delivered on our commitments and produced record financial results so far in 2023. Our field leaders continue to be the driving force of our performance."

Amount represents the year-over-year change when comparing both years after eliminating the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by translating foreign currency denominated results at fixed foreign currency ("FFX") rates for both periods, as further discussed under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

(b)

Organic change in net revenues provides a consistent basis for a year-over-year comparison in net revenues as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, divestitures, and the impact of changes due to foreign currency translation.

  • Reported net revenue growth of 7.4% and organic net revenue growth of 7.6% compared to the prior year period driven by strong growth in both Safety and Specialty Services, led by double-digit service revenue growth.

  • Reported and adjusted gross margin both increased 160 basis points compared to prior year period due to pricing initiatives, outsized growth in services revenue as well as project margin expansion across both segments. These factors were partially offset by inflation, which caused downward pressure on margins.

  • Reported net income was $48 million and diluted EPS was $0.12. Adjusted net income was $111 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.41, representing a $0.04 increase from prior year period driven by organic growth in Safety and Specialty Services and an increase in adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin, partially offset by increased interest expense.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased by 15.3% (16.7% on a fixed currency basis) compared to the prior year period and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 80 basis points to 11.5%, primarily due to the factors impacting gross margin, partially offset by investments to support revenue growth and the continued build-out of our global capabilities and infrastructure.

  • Reported and adjusted gross margin increased 170 and 180 basis points, respectively, compared to prior year period due to pricing initiatives, improved business mix of service, inspection, and monitoring revenue, and significant improvement in contract margins resulting from disciplined project and customer selection, partially offset by inflationary costs causing downward pressure on margins.

Organic change in net revenues provides a consistent basis for a year-over-year comparison in net revenues as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, divestitures, and the impact of changes due to foreign currency translation.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased by 15.0% compared to the prior year period.

Guidance

APi Group is raising its full year net revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance.

  • Net Revenues of $7,015 to $7,075 million, up from $6,875 to $7,025 million

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $765 to $785 million, up from $740 to $780 million

APi Group announces guidance for the third quarter of 2023

  • Net Revenues of $1,860 to $1,890 million

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $215 to $225 million

APi Co-Chair James E. Lillie concluded: "APi delivered another strong quarter of results including record net revenues, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share in a constantly evolving macro environment. We continue to be pleased with the momentum APi is building with an outstanding first half of 2023. APi has been a public company for nearly four years and in our view, the team has demonstrated a track record of consistently delivering financial results above expectations across what has been a volatile macroeconomic backdrop. APi’s consistently strong financial results speak to the strength of the Company’s recurring revenue, service-focused business model, as well as the discipline of the organization and its leadership team. We believe that this continued performance will contribute to us being within our targeted leverage ratio of 2.0x-2.5x in the back half of this year allowing us to have increased capital allocation flexibility as we move through this year and into next. Suffice it to say we have great confidence in the business, its momentum and the direction we’re heading."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-U.S. GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The Company’s management believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (b) permit investors to compare the Company with its peers and (c) determine certain elements of management’s incentive compensation (d) provide consistent period-to-period comparisons of the results. Specifically:

  • The Company’s management believes that adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, the impact and results of businesses classified as assets held-for-sale and businesses divested, and one-time and other events such as impairment charges, restructuring costs, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, amortization of intangible assets, net COVID-19 relief, non-service pension benefit, severance related costs related to corporate leadership changes and certain tax benefits from the acquisition of APi Group, Inc. (the "APi Acquisition") are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations.

  • The Company discloses fixed currency net revenues and adjusted EBITDA ("FFX") on a consolidated basis or segment specific basis to provide a more complete understanding of underlying revenue and adjusted EBITDA trends by providing net revenues and adjusted EBITDA on a consistent basis. Under U.S. GAAP, income statement results are translated in U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates for the period presented. Management believes that the fixed currency non-GAAP measures are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company’s operational performance, as it excludes the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international results. Fixed currency amounts included in this release are based on translation into U.S. dollars at the fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2023.

  • The Company also presents organic changes in net revenues on a consolidated basis or segment specific basis to provide a more complete understanding of underlying revenue trends by providing net revenues on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, completed divestitures, and changes in foreign currency from year-over-year comparisons on reported net revenues, calculated as the difference between the reported net revenues for the current period and reported net revenues for the current period converted at fixed foreign currency exchange rates (excluding material acquisitions and divestitures). The remainder is divided by prior year fixed currency net revenues, excluding the impacts of completed divestitures.

  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is the measure of profitability used by management to manage its segments and, accordingly, in its segment reporting. The Company supplements the reporting of its consolidated financial information with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items ("adjusted EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. The Company uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with segment EBITDA, which is a measure of segment profitability.

  • The Company presents free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion, which are liquidity measures used by management as factors in determining the amount of cash that is available for working capital needs or other uses of cash, however, it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus or minus events including, but not limited to, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, payments on acquired liabilities, payments made for restructuring programs, impacts of businesses classified as assets held-for-sale and businesses divested, and one-time and other events such as post-measurement period purchase accounting adjustments for acquisitions, COVID-19 related payroll tax deferral and relief items. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA.

  • The Company calculates its leverage ratio in accordance with its debt agreements which include different adjustments to EBITDA from those included in the adjusted EBITDA numbers reported externally.

While the Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is included later in this press release.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2023, the Company simplified the presentation of the non-GAAP reconciliations, by combining certain adjustment line items. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to this presentation and the information in the tables below has been retroactively adjusted to reflect these changes in adjustment categories. Specifically, amounts previously classified as "integration and reorganization" have been reclassified and included with "business process transformation," and prior period amounts classified as "acquisition expenses" and "recent acquisition transition expenses" have been combined and categorized as "acquisition related expenses."

The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP adjusted EBITDA and growth in organic net revenues to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for acquisitions and divestitures, business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, one-time and other events such as impairment charges, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, net COVID-19 relief, and certain tax benefits from the APi Acquisition, and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

Notes:

(a)

Represents the effect of foreign currency on reported net revenues, calculated as the difference between reported net revenues and net revenues at fixed currencies for both periods. Fixed currency amounts are based on translation into U.S. Dollars at fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2023.

(b)

Amount represents the year-over-year change when comparing both years after eliminating the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by translating foreign currency denominated results at fixed foreign currency ("FFX") rates for both periods.

(c)

Adjustment to exclude net revenues from material acquisitions from their respective dates of acquisition until the first year anniversary from date of acquisition and net revenues from divestitures for all periods for businesses divested as of June 30, 2023.

(d)

Organic change in net revenues provides a consistent basis for a year-over-year comparison in net revenues as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, divestitures, and the impact of changes due to foreign currency translation.

Adjusted to eliminate the impact of foreign currency on adjusted EBITDA amounts, calculated as the difference between adjusted EBITDA at public currency rates and adjusted EBITDA at fixed currency rates for both periods. Fixed currency amounts are based on translation into U.S. Dollars at fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2023.

(c)

Amount represents the year-over-year change when comparing both years after eliminating the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by translating foreign currency denominated results at fixed foreign currency ("FFX") rates for both periods.
