TORONTO, Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX:FSV, NASDAQ:FSV) today announced fourth quarter and full year results for the year ended December 31, 2025. All amounts are in US dollars.

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter were $1.38 billion, a 1% increase relative to the same quarter in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $137.6 million, in-line with the fourth quarter of 2024, and Adjusted EPS (note 2) was $1.37, a 2% increase over the prior year quarter. Operating Earnings for the quarter were $85.9 million, relative to $89.6 million in the prior year period. Diluted EPS was $0.85 per share in the quarter, compared to $0.71 for the same quarter a year ago.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, consolidated revenues were $5.50 billion, a 5% increase relative to the prior year, driven by the contribution of recent tuck-under acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA was $562.8 million, up 10%, and Adjusted EPS was $5.75, a 15% increase versus the prior year. Operating Earnings were $338.1 million, versus $337.5 million in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share was $3.17, compared to $2.97 in the prior year.

"Our fourth quarter results were largely in-line with expectations provided on our prior quarterly call and we are pleased to have capped off a year of solid growth and strong earnings performance," said Scott Patterson, Chief Executive Officer of FirstService. "I am proud of how our operating leaders and teams executed with discipline and resilience in challenging environments throughout 2025. Looking forward, as market conditions normalize, we are confident that our organic growth will return to levels approaching our long-term track record and future targets," he concluded.

Segmented Fourth Quarter Results

FirstService Residential generated revenues of $563.1 million for the fourth quarter, up 8% relative to the prior year quarter, including 5% organic growth (see definition on page 6). The top-line performance was driven by contract wins and was balanced across most markets. Adjusted EBITDA was $51.5 million, an increase of 12% compared to $46.0 million reported in the prior year period. Operating Earnings were $36.3 million, versus $34.4 million for the fourth quarter of last year. Operating margins for the division were relatively comparable on a year-over-year basis.

FirstService Brands recorded revenues of $820.3 million, down 3% versus the prior year period. On an organic basis, revenues decreased 7% primarily due to reduced weather events and large-loss claims versus the prior year quarter at our restoration brands, as well as tempered activity levels in our roofing operations. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $88.5 million, compared to $100.7 million in the prior year quarter. Operating Earnings were $59.2 million, versus $69.9 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in division operating margins resulted from the negative operating leverage associated with the top-line organic declines in our restoration and roofing platforms.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA, were $2.4 million in the fourth quarter, relative to $8.9 million in the prior year period. Corporate costs for the quarter were $9.6 million, relative to $14.7 million in the prior year period. The lower corporate costs were primarily due to non-cash foreign exchange adjustments.

Segmented Full Year Results

FirstService Residential reported revenues of $2.29 billion, up 7% relative to 2024, including 4% organic growth. Adjusted EBITDA was $225.0 million, up 13% versus the prior year. Operating Earnings were $170.4 million, compared to $159.2 million in the prior year. The Adjusted EBITDA margin increase was driven by cost efficiencies in our property management operations, with the Operating Earnings margin remaining in-line due to increased depreciation and amortization compared to the prior year.

FirstService Brands revenues were $3.21 billion, a 4% increase versus the prior year. Revenues declined 3% on an organic basis, driven by decreased activity levels at our restoration and roofing operations, and partially offset by strong organic growth at Century Fire Protection. Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $353.6 million, up 4% relative to the prior year. Operating Earnings were $214.0 million, versus $230.1 million a year ago. The division Adjusted EBITDA margin was in-line with the prior year period, while the year-over-year Operating Earnings margin comparison was down due to the positive impact from acquisition-related contingent earn-out adjustments in the prior year period.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA, were $15.8 million for the full year, relative to $25.1 million in the prior year. Corporate costs were $46.3 million, relative to $51.8 million in 2024. The lower corporate costs were primarily due to non-cash foreign exchange adjustments.

Notes

1. Reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other expense (income); (iii) interest expense; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) acquisition-related items; and (vi) stock-based compensation expense. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its own operating performance and its ability to service debt, as well 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. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure because the Company believes such measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low capital intensity of its 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, 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 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.

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 businesses for a period of twelve months following their acquisition.

(1) Corporate is not an operating segment, but rather represent corporate overhead expenses not directly attributable to reportable segments and are therefore unallocated within segment operating earnings (loss) and Segment Adjusted EBITDA.

2. Reconciliation of net earnings and net earnings (loss) per common 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 of intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions; and (iv) stock-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 common 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 diluted net earnings per common share to Adjusted EPS appears below.
