FIRSTSERVICE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

(in thousands of US dollars, except per share amounts)

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS – FirstService Corporation (the “Company”) is a North American provider of residential property management and other essential property services to residential and commercial customers. The Company’s operations are conducted in two segments: FirstService Residential and FirstService Brands. The segments are grouped with reference to the nature of services provided and the types of clients that use those services.

FirstService Residential is a full-service property manager and in many markets provides a full range of ancillary services primarily in the following areas: on-site staffing, including building engineering and maintenance, full-service amenity management, security, concierge and front desk personnel; proprietary banking and insurance products; and energy conservation and management solutions.

FirstService Brands provides a range of essential property services to residential and commercial customers in North America through franchise networks and company-owned locations. The principal brands in this division include Paul Davis Restoration, Global Restoration, California Closets, Century Fire Protection, Certa Pro Painters, Pillar to Post Home Inspectors, Floor Coverings International, and College Pro Painters.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the disclosure requirements for the presentation of interim financial information pursuant to applicable Canadian securities law. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such disclosure requirements, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies as the most recent audited consolidated financial statements, with the exception of the change described below. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2019 and the results of operations and its cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Leases

The Company adopted ASU 842, Leases, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and has elected to account for each lease component (e.g., fixed rent payments) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). The Company has also elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. Leases are recognized on the balance sheet when the lease term commences, and the associated lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The standard had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, the primary impact being the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while its accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged.

Page 9 of 16

3.       REVENUE RECOGNITION STANDARD – On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all open contracts using the full retrospective method. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2017.

Within the FirstService Brands segment, franchise fee revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $4,271 (2018 - $2,544). These fees are recognized over the life of the underlying franchise agreement, usually between 5 - 10 years.

External broker costs and employee sales commissions in obtaining new franchisees are capitalized in accordance with the new revenue standard and are amortized over the life of the underlying franchise agreement. Costs amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $1,435 (2018 - $915). The closing amount of the capitalized costs to obtain contracts on the balance sheet as at September 30, 2019 was $6,392 (December 31, 2018 - $7,032). There were no impairment losses recognized related to those assets in the quarter.

The Company’s backlog represents remaining performance obligations and is defined as contracted work yet to be performed. As at September 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of backlog was $310,629. The Company expects to recognize revenue on the remaining backlog over the next 12 months.

Disaggregated revenues are as follows:

	Three months				Nine months
	ended September 30				ended September 30
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Revenues
FirstService Residential	$	375,196	$	331,712	$	1,064,911	$	942,839
FirstService Brands company-owned		254,308		136,027		552,871		382,985
FirstService Brands franchisor		41,531		37,667		110,754		99,098
FirstService Brands franchise fee		1,218		950		3,280		3,238

The Company disaggregates revenue by segment, and within the FirstService Brands segment, further disaggregates its company-owned operations revenue; these businesses primarily recognize revenue over time as they perform because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. As such, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress method. The extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.

We believe this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

4.       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED – In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. The standard requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and will require a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Page 10 of 16

5.       ACQUISITIONS – During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company completed thirteen acquisitions, including three in the FirstService Residential segment and ten in the FirstService Brands segment. In the FirstService Residential segment, the Company acquired controlling interests in regional firms operating in Chicago and western Canada.

In the FirstService Brands segment, the Company acquired Global Restoration, a leading commercial and large loss firm headquartered in Colorado and with operations across the U.S. and Canada. Also within the FirstService Brands segment, the Company acquired three independent restoration companies, operating in Ohio, California and Quebec, as well as a Paul Davis Restoration franchise located in the mid-western U.S. The Company also acquired three California Closets franchises operating in Maryland, New Jersey, and Arizona and two fire protection operations based in Houston and Atlanta.

The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred for these transactions were as follows: cash of $555,116 (net of cash acquired of $10,082), and contingent consideration of $6,775 (2018 - cash of $52,528, and contingent consideration of $4,200). The purchase price allocations are not yet complete, pending final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. These acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method of accounting for business combinations and accordingly, the consolidated statements of earnings do not include any revenues or expenses related to these acquisitions prior to their respective closing dates.

Below is a preliminary estimate of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Company’s significant Global Restoration acquisition, which closed in June 2019.

	Global
	Restoration
Current assets	$	153,595
Long-term assets		40,140
Current liabilities		(65,610	)
Long-term liabilities		(17,398	)
Deferred Tax Liabilities		(57,754	)
Redeemable non-controlling interest		(25,433	)
	$	27,540
Cash consideration, net of cash acquired of $6,518	$	(506,680	)
Acquired intangible assets	$	222,130
Goodwill	$	257,010

Certain vendors, at the time of acquisition, are entitled to receive a contingent consideration payment if the acquired businesses achieve specified earnings levels during the one- to two-year periods following the dates of acquisition. The ultimate amount of payment is determined based on a formula, the key inputs to which are (i) a contractually agreed maximum payment; (ii) a contractually specified revenue or earnings level; and (iii) the actual revenue or earnings for the contingency period. If the acquired business does not achieve the specified revenue or earnings level, the maximum payment is reduced for any shortfall, potentially to nil.

Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value each reporting period. The fair value recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2019 was $11,478 (see note 10). The estimated range of outcomes (undiscounted) for these contingent consideration arrangements is $11,280 to a maximum of $13,269. The contingencies will expire during the period extending to September 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $8,997 was paid with reference to such contingent consideration (2018 - $5,886).

6.       LEASES – The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, copiers, and certain equipment. Its leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 10 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 8 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. The Company evaluates renewal terms on a lease by lease basis to determine if the renewal is reasonably certain. The amount of operating lease expense recorded in the statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $23,190 (2018 - $19,757).

Other information related to leases was as follows (in thousands, except lease term and discount rate):

During the second quarter, the Company completed the divestiture of two non-core businesses. The Company sold its national accounts commercial painting operations for cash consideration of $3,386 and notes receivable of $2,800. The pre-tax gain on disposal was $1,406. The Company also completed the sale of its Florida and Arizona-based landscaping operations for cash consideration of $9,644 (net of cash disposed of $600). The pre-tax gain on disposal was $4,676.

8.       INCOME TAX – The provision for income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflected a negative effective tax rate of 9% (2018 - 21%) relative to the statutory rate of approximately 27% (2018 - 27%). The difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate relates primarily to the impact of the settlement of long-term incentive arrangement, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

9.       LONG-TERM DEBT – The Company has $150,000 of senior secured notes (the “Senior Notes”) bearing interest at a rate of 4.84%. The Senior Notes are due on January 16, 2025, with five annual equal repayments beginning on January 16, 2021.

The Company has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The Credit Agreement is comprised of a committed multi-currency revolving credit facility of $450,000 (the “Facility”) and a term loan (drawn in a single advance) in the aggregate amount of $440,000 (the “Term Loan”). The Facility portion of the Credit Agreement has a term ending on January 17, 2023 and bears interest at 0.25% to 2.50% over floating preference rates, depending on certain leverage ratios. The Term Loan portion of the Credit Agreement has a term ending on June 21, 2024, with repayments of 5% per annum, paid quarterly, beginning in September 2020, with the balance payable at maturity, and bears interest at 0.25% to 2.50% over floating preference rates, depending on certain leverage ratios. The Credit Agreement requires a commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.50% of the unused portion, depending on certain leverage ratios. The Company may repay amounts owing under the Credit Agreement at any time without penalty. The Facility is available to fund working capital requirements (including acquisitions and any associated contingent purchase consideration) and other general corporate purposes. The Term Loan was implemented in order to substantially finance the purchase price for Global Restoration (aka Bellwether FOS Holdco, Inc.).

The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes rank equally in terms of seniority. The Company has granted the lenders under the Credit Agreement and the holders of the Senior Notes various security, including an interest in all of our assets. The Company is prohibited under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes from undertaking certain acquisitions and dispositions, and incurring certain indebtedness and encumbrances, without prior approval of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and the holders of the Senior Notes.

10.       FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – The following table provides the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019:

			Fair value measurements at September 30, 2019
	Carrying value at
		September 30, 2019		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Contingent consideration liability	$	11,478	$	-	$	-	$	11,478

The inputs to the measurement of the fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions are Level 3 inputs. The fair value measurements were made using a discounted cash flow model; significant model inputs were expected future operating cash flows (determined with reference to each specific acquired business) and discount rates (which range from 8% to 10%). The range of discount rates is attributable to level of risk related to economic growth factors combined with the length of the contingent payment periods; and the dispersion was driven by unique characteristics of the businesses acquired and the respective terms for these contingent payments. Within the range of discount rates, there is a data point concentration at 9%. A 2% increase in the weighted average discount rate would not have a significant impact on the fair value of the contingent consideration balance.

Page 13 of 16

Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are comprised of the following:

	2019
Balance, January 1	$	13,286
Amounts recognized on acquisitions		6,775
Fair value adjustments		221
Resolved and settled in cash		(8,997	)
Other		193
Balance, September 30	$	11,478
Less: Current portion		6,637
Non-current portion	$	4,841

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments, unless otherwise indicated. The inputs to the measurement of the fair value of long term debt are Level 3 inputs. The fair value measurements were made using a net present value approach; significant model inputs were expected future cash outflows and discount rates (which range from 1.5% to 2.0%).

	September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	amount		value		amount		value
Other receivables	$	4,026	$	4,026	$	4,212	$	4,212
Long-term debt		949,740		960,998		334,523		344,198

11.       REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS – The minority equity positions in the Company’s subsidiaries are referred to as redeemable non-controlling interests (“RNCI”). The RNCI are considered to be redeemable securities. Accordingly, the RNCI is recorded at the greater of: (i) the redemption amount; or (ii) the amount initially recorded as RNCI at the date of inception of the minority equity position. This amount is recorded in the “mezzanine” section of the balance sheet, outside of shareholders’ equity. Changes in the RNCI amount are recognized immediately as they occur. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending RNCI amounts:

	2019
Balance, January 1	$	151,585
RNCI share of earnings		6,262
RNCI redemption increment		9,386
Distributions paid to RNCI		(6,264	)
Purchases of interests from RNCI, net		(33,409	)
RNCI recognized on business acquisitions		29,651
Other		110
Balance, September 30	$	157,321

Page 14 of 16

The Company has shareholders’ agreements in place at each of its non-wholly owned subsidiaries. These agreements allow the Company to “call” the non-controlling interest at a price determined with the use of a formula price, which is usually equal to a fixed multiple of trailing two-year average earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization, less debt. The agreements also have redemption features which allow the owners of the RNCI to “put” their equity to the Company at the same price subject to certain limitations. The formula price is referred to as the redemption amount and may be paid in cash or in the Company’s Common Shares. The redemption amount as of September 30, 2019 was $153,761. The redemption amount is lower than that recorded on the balance sheet as the formula prices of certain RNCI are lower than the amount initially recorded at the inception of the minority equity position. If all put or call options were settled with Common Shares as at September 30, 2019, approximately 1,500,000 such shares would be issued; this would be accretive to net earnings per common share.

Increases or decreases to the formula price of the underlying shares are recognized in the statement of earnings as the NCI redemption increment.

12.       NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE – Earnings per share calculations cannot be anti-dilutive, therefore diluted shares are not used in the denominator when the numerator is in a loss position. The following table reconciles the basic and diluted common shares outstanding:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
(in thousands)	September 30				September 30
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Basic shares		39,224		35,961		37,087		35,940
Assumed exercise of Company stock options		467		700		455		626
Diluted shares		39,691		36,661		37,542		36,566

13.       STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Company stock option plan

The Company has a stock option plan for certain directors, officers and full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, other than its Founder and Chairman. The stock option plan came into existence on June 1, 2015. Options are granted at the market price for the underlying shares on the date of grant. Each option vests over a four-year term, expires five years from the date granted and allows for the purchase of one Common Share. All Common Shares issued are new shares. Grants under the Company’s stock option plan are equity-classified awards. As at September 30, 2019, there were 689,500 options available for future grants.

Grants under the Company’s stock option plan are equity-classified awards. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2019 (2018 - nil). Stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was as follows:

						Weighted average
				Weighted		remaining
	Number of			average		contractual life		Aggregate
	options			exercise price		(years)		intrinsic value
Shares issuable under options -
Beginning of period		1,633,150		$	44.68

Options exercisable - End of period		685,702		$	44.66		1.82	$	39,708

Page 15 of 16

The amount of compensation expense recorded in the statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $6,382 (2018 - $4,547). As of September 30, 2019, there was $10,825 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards which is expected to be recognized over the next 5 years. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, the fair value of options vested was $4,591 (2018 - $11,279).

14.       CONTINGENCIES – In the normal course of operations, the Company is subject to routine claims and litigation incidental to its business. Litigation currently pending or threatened against the Company includes disputes with former employees and commercial liability claims related to services provided by the Company. The Company believes resolution of such proceedings, combined with amounts set aside, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or the results of operations.

In May 2019, the Company settled the restated management services agreement (“MSA”), including the long-term incentive arrangement (the “LTIA”), between the Company and Jay S. Hennick, the Company’s Founder and Chairman. As part of the settlement, the Multiple Voting Shares of the Company were converted into Subordinate Voting Shares on a one-for-one basis for no consideration, thereby eliminating the Company’s dual class share structure. For consideration of $314,379, which is the purchase price determined with reference to the LTIA formula provided in the restated MSA, FirstService acquired all of the shares in the company which indirectly held the MSA. The Company, under the terms of the transaction: (a) paid $62,900 (approximately C$84,300) in cash; and issued a total of 2,918,860 Subordinate Voting Shares. Subsequent to the completion of the transaction, the MSA was terminated, thereby eliminating the LTIA and all future fees and other entitlements owing thereafter, and the Company filed an amendment to its articles that re-classified its Subordinate Voting Shares as common shares.

15.       SEGMENTED INFORMATION – The Company has two reportable operating segments. The segments are grouped with reference to the nature of services provided and the types of clients that use those services. The Company assesses each segment’s performance based on operating earnings or operating earnings before depreciation and amortization. FirstService Residential provides property management and related property services to residential communities in North America. FirstService Brands provides franchised and company-owned essential property services to residential and commercial customers in North America. Corporate includes the costs of operating the Company’s corporate head office.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE nine MONTH PERIOD ENDED September 30, 2019

(in US dollars)

November 8, 2019

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read together with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of FirstService Corporation (the “Company” or “FirstService”) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and MD&A, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Consolidated review

We reported strong operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. Consolidated revenue growth was 33% relative to the same quarter in the prior year. The top-line performance included approximately 8% organic growth, with the balance from recent acquisitions, and resulted in growth in adjusted EBITDA, operating earnings and adjusted earnings per share. GAAP earnings per share were down versus the prior year period primarily as a result of accelerated backlog amortization in connection with our recent Global Restoration Holdings acquisition.

During the first three quarters of 2019, we acquired controlling interests in thirteen businesses, three in the FirstService Residential segment, and ten in the FirstService Brands segment, including the recent completion of our significant acquisition of Global Restoration Holdings. The total initial cash consideration for these acquisitions was $555.1 million. During the past year, we also completed several other acquisitions in our two divisions, which provided additional revenue growth for the third quarter of 2019. These tuck-under acquisitions increase the geographic footprint and our service offering at FirstService Residential. The acquisitions also support the execution of our company-owned strategy at FirstService Brands to acquire California Closets and Paul Davis Restoration franchises in selected key markets and expand our operations and broaden our service capabilities at Century Fire Protection. Our acquisition of Global Restoration Holdings provides us with a market leader in large loss and commercial property restoration and a platform for future growth both organically and through tuck-under acquisitions to expand its geographic footprint and increase its national client account coverage.

Results of operations - three months ended September 30, 2019

Revenues for our third quarter were $672.3 million, 33% higher than the comparable prior year quarter. On an organic basis, revenues were up 8% with the balance coming from recent acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures” below) for the third quarter was $77.1 million versus $59.4 million reported in the prior year quarter. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.5% of revenues versus 11.7% of revenues in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the third quarter were $49.7 million, up from $45.3 million of operating earnings in the prior year quarter.

Page 2 of 10

Depreciation and amortization expense totalled $24.2 million for the quarter relative to $12.3 million for the prior year quarter, with the increase primarily related to our significant Global Restoration acquisition in the FirstService Brands segment.

Net interest expense was $12.7 million, versus $3.1 million recorded in the prior year quarter, with the difference primarily attributable to an increase in our average outstanding debt to finance the large Global Restoration acquisition.

The consolidated income tax rate for the quarter was 29%, compared to 25% of earnings before income tax in the prior year quarter, and relative to the statutory rate of 27% in both periods. The current period’s tax rate was impacted by certain permanent non-deductible items in the quarter.

Net earnings for the quarter was $26.3 million, versus $31.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was attributable to the growth in operating earnings in both the FirstService Residential and FirstService Brands segments, offset by higher amortization and interest expense, as noted above.

The non-controlling interest (“NCI”) share of earnings was $2.1 million for the third quarter, relative to $3.7 million in the prior period, with the decrease primarily due to the significant purchases of NCI in the current year. The NCI redemption increment for the third quarter was $4.4 million, versus $2.2 million in the prior period, and was attributable to changes in the trailing two-year average of earnings of non-wholly owned subsidiaries.

The FirstService Residential segment reported revenues of $375.2 million for the third quarter, up 13% versus the prior year quarter. The revenue increase included strong 8% organic growth, driven by new contract wins resulting from an active sales effort in recent periods. Adjusted EBITDA was $39.8 million, versus $35.9 million in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the third quarter were $33.0 million, versus $29.9 million for the third quarter of last year.

Third quarter revenues at our FirstService Brands segment were $297.1 million, up 70% relative to the prior year period. Organic growth within the division was 8%, with the balance of the significant revenue increase driven by acquisition activity, including contribution from the large Global Restoration transaction which closed late in the second quarter of this year. Organic growth was strong within our home improvement-driven brands, including California Closets, CertaPro Painters, and Floor Coverings International, as well as our Century Fire Protection operations. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $40.8 million, or 13.7% of revenues, versus $26.6 million, or 15.2% of revenues, in the prior year period. Margin decline was principally driven by the addition of Global Restoration, which has lower margins than the overall division, as well as the impact of lower weather-related activity levels within our overall restoration platform, which includes both Global Restoration and Paul Davis Restoration. Operating earnings for the third quarter were $22.1 million, or 7.4% of revenues, versus $19.7 million, or 11.3% of revenues, in the prior year quarter.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA, were $3.5 million for the quarter, relative to $3.2 million in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, corporate costs for the quarter were $5.4 million, versus $4.4 million in the prior year period, with the increase primarily attributable to stock-based compensation.

Results of operations - nine months ended September 30, 2019

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $1.73 billion, 21% higher than the comparable prior year. Revenues on an organic basis were up 7% with the balance of growth coming from acquisitions.

Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA (see “Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures” below) was $171.3 million versus $142.0 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The operating loss for the period was $205.8 million, down from $98.7 million of operating earnings in the prior year period, with the decrease attributable to the settlement of the long-term incentive arrangement (“LTIA”) with our Founder and Chairman in the amount of $314.4 million.

Page 3 of 10

We recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $51.0 million for the nine month period relative to $37.0 million for the prior year period, with the increase primarily related to recently acquired company-owned operations in our FirstService Brands segment, including our significant Global Restoration acquisition.

Net interest expense for the nine month period was $21.1 million, up from $9.2 million recorded in the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in our average outstanding debt versus the prior year to finance the Global Restoration acquisition.

Other income of $6.4 million was primarily due to the gain on sale from two small, non-core divestitures: (i) our Arizona and Florida-based landscaping operations; and (ii) our national accounts commercial painting operations, both occurring in the second quarter of the current year.

Our consolidated income tax rate for the nine month period was negative 9%, compared to 21% of earnings before income tax in the prior year-to-date period, and relative to the statutory rate of 27% in both periods. The current period’s tax rate was affected by the settlement of the LTIA, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Net loss for the nine month period was $241.2 million, versus net earnings of $70.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease was attributable to the settlement of the LTIA.

The non-controlling interest (“NCI”) share of earnings was $6.3 million for the nine month period, relative to $8.9 million in the prior year period, with the decrease primarily attributable to the significant purchases of NCI in the current year. The NCI redemption increment for the third quarter was $9.4 million, versus $7.1 million in the prior period, and was attributable to changes in the trailing two-year average of earnings of non-wholly owned subsidiaries.

Our FirstService Residential segment reported revenues of $1.06 billion for the nine month period, up 13% over the prior year period. Organic revenue growth was 7%, primarily driven by new contract wins and was broad-based across most markets. Adjusted EBITDA was $100.8 million relative to $86.8 million in the prior year period. Operating earnings were $81.4 million for the nine month period, relative to $68.8 million in the prior year period.

Year-to-date revenues at FirstService Brands were $666.9 million, an increase of 37% relative to the prior year period. Organic growth was 7%, while acquisitions contributed the remaining balance. Organic revenue growth resulted primarily from strong performance at our California Closets and Century Fire Protection company-owned operations, as well as from higher system-wide sales at several of our home improvement-driven franchised brands. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $80.3 million, or 12.0% of revenues, versus $64.5 million, or 13.3% of revenues, for the prior year period. Operating earnings were $46.7 million, or 7.0% of revenues, versus $44.0 million, or 9.1% of revenues, in the prior year period. The margins were negatively impacted by our recently acquired Global Restoration operation, which has lower margins than the overall division. The decline in margins was also due to weaker performance at our Paul Davis Restoration company-owned operations, which experienced lower weather-related activity levels and job volumes. Our operating earnings margin was also impacted by increased intangible amortization from the Global Restoration acquisition.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA, for the nine month period were $9.8 million, relative to $9.3 million in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, corporate costs were $333.9 million versus $14.1 million in the prior year period, with the increase primarily attributable to the settlement of the LTIA.

Seasonality and quarterly fluctuations

Certain segments of the operations of FirstService are subject to seasonal variations. The seasonality of the service lines results in variations in quarterly revenues and operating margins. Variations can also be caused by acquisitions or dispositions, which alter the combined service mix.

The FirstService Residential segment generates peak revenues and earnings in the third quarter, as seasonal ancillary swimming pool management revenues are earned.

The FirstService Brands segment includes outdoor painting and other franchised operations, which generate the majority of their revenues during the second and third quarters.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures

In this MD&A, we make reference to “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted earnings per share”, which are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP.

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; (vi) stock-based compensation expense; and (vii) settlement of the LTIA. We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our own operating performance and our ability to service debt, as well as an integral part of our planning and reporting systems. Additionally, we use this measure in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We present adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because we believe such measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low capital intensity of the Company’s service operations. We believe 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. Our 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.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	77,144		$	59,426	$	171,325		$	141,958

Adjusted earnings per share 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; (iv) stock-based compensation expense; (v) a stock-based compensation tax adjustment related to a US GAAP change; and (vi) settlement of the LTIA. We believe 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 earnings per share 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. Our 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 earnings per share appears below.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described above, for which the amounts are non-cash or non-recurring in nature, provides a supplemental measure of our operating results that facilitates comparability of our operating performance from period to period, against our business model objectives, and against other companies in our industry. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our core business and the valuation of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs or benefits associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 was $64.6 million, versus $81.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to the cash payment in connection with the settlement of the LTIA. We believe that cash from operations and other existing resources will continue to be adequate to satisfy the ongoing working capital needs of the Company.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, capital expenditures were $34.1 million, versus $29.7 million for the prior year period. Significant capital purchases this year include service vehicles in the FirstService Brands segment, as well as information technology system and hardware investments in both segments. Based on our current operations, maintenance capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2019 are expected to be around $50 million.

In October 2019, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share on the Common Shares in respect of the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Net indebtedness as at September 30, 2019 was $843.5 million, versus $268.2 million at December 31, 2018. Net indebtedness is calculated as the current and non-current portion of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. We are in compliance with the covenants contained in our financing agreements as at September 30, 2019 and, based on our outlook for the balance of the year, we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants. We had $93.6 million of available un-drawn credit as of September 30, 2019.

In June 2019, in connection with the acquisition of Global Restoration, we entered into a $890 million amended and restated credit facility, consisting of our existing $450 million revolving credit facility and a new $440 million term loan. The maturity date of the revolving credit facility remains January 2023, and the maturity date of the term loan is June 2024.

In relation to acquisitions completed during the past two years, we have outstanding contingent consideration totalling $11.5 million as at September 30, 2019 ($13.3 million as at December 31, 2018) assuming all contingencies are satisfied and payment is due in full. Such payments, if any, are due during the period extending to July 2022. The contingent consideration liability is recognized at fair value upon acquisition and is updated to fair value each quarter, unless it contains an element of compensation, in which case such element is treated as compensation expense over the contingency period. The contingent consideration is based on achieving specified earnings levels, and is paid or payable at the end of the contingency period. We estimate that, based on current operating results, approximately 85% of the contingent consideration outstanding as of September 30, 2019 will ultimately be paid.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as at September 30, 2019:

Contractual obligations	Payments due by period
(in thousands of US$)			Less than						After
	Total		1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		5 years
Long-term debt	$	940,103	$	2,584	$	105,190	$	802,329	$	30,000

Total contractual obligations	$	1,274,839	$	66,702	$	256,052	$	888,612	$	63,473

At September 30, 2019, we had commercial commitments totaling $6.1 million comprised of letters of credit outstanding due to expire within one year. We are required to make semi-annual payments of interest on our senior secured notes at an interest rate of 4.8%.

Redeemable non-controlling interests

In most operations where managers or employees are also minority owners, the Company is party to shareholders’ agreements. These agreements allow us to “call” the minority position at a value determined with the use of a formula price, which is in most cases equal to a multiple of trailing two-year average earnings, less debt. Minority owners may also “put” their interest to the Company at the same price, with certain limitations including: (i) the inability to “put” more than one-third to one-half of their holdings in any twelve-month period; and (ii) the inability to “put” any holdings for at least one year after the date of our initial acquisition of the business or the date the minority shareholder acquired the stock, as the case may be. The total value of the minority shareholders’ interests (the “redemption amount”), as calculated in accordance with shareholders’ agreements, was as follows.

Page 8 of 10

	September 30		December 31
(in thousands of US$)	2019		2018
FirstService Residential	$	59,897	$	80,631
FirstService Brands		93,864		68,501
	$	153,761	$	149,132

The amount recorded on our balance sheet under the caption “Redeemable non-controlling interests” (“RNCI”) is the greater of: (i) the redemption amount (as above); and (ii) the amount initially recorded as RNCI at the date of inception of the minority equity position. As at September 30, 2019, the RNCI recorded on the balance sheet was $157.3 million. The purchase prices of the RNCI may be satisfied in cash or in Common Shares of FirstService. If all RNCI were redeemed with cash on hand and borrowings under our Facility, the pro forma estimated accretion to diluted net earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 would be $0.31 and the accretion to adjusted EPS would be $0.06.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed in notes 11 and 17 to the December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s historical experience and are believed by management to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have been reviewed and discussed with our Audit Committee. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2018, except as noted below.

On January 1, 2019, FirstService adopted ASU 842, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and have elected to account for each lease component (e.g., fixed rent payments) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). We have also elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. Leases are recognized on the balance sheet when the lease term commences, and the associated lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, the primary impact being the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The standard did not impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

Impact of recently issued accounting standards

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which amends the scope and transition requirements of ASU 2016-13. The standard requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The standard will become effective beginning January 1, 2020 and will require a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial instruments

We use financial instruments as part of our strategy to manage the risk associated with interest rates and currency exchange rates from time to time. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of the date of this MD&A, we have no such financial instruments in place.

Transactions with related parties

The Company has entered into office space rental arrangements and property management contracts with senior managers of certain subsidiaries. These senior managers are usually also minority shareholders of the subsidiaries. The business purpose of the transactions is to rent office space for the Company and to generate property management revenues for the Company. The recorded amount of the rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.8 million (2018 - $0.7 million).

As at September 30, 2019, the Company had $2.6 million of loans receivable from minority shareholders (December 31, 2018 - $2.1 million). The business purpose of the loans receivable was to finance the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries to senior managers. The loan amounts are measured based on the formula price of the underlying non-controlling interests, and interest rates are determined based on the Company’s cost of borrowing plus a spread. The loans generally have terms of 5 to 10 years, but are open for repayment without penalty at any time.

Outstanding share data

The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote in respect of each Common Share held at all meetings of the shareholders of the Company.

As of the date hereof, the Company has outstanding 39,330,957 Common Shares. In addition, as at the date hereof, 1,639,100 Common Shares are issuable upon exercise of options granted under the Company’s stock option plan.

Canadian tax treatment of dividends

For the purposes of the enhanced dividend tax credit rules contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any corresponding provincial and territorial tax legislation, all dividends (and deemed dividends) paid by us to Canadian residents on our Common Shares are designated as “eligible dividends”. Unless stated otherwise, all dividends (and deemed dividends) paid by us hereafter are designated as “eligible dividends” for the purposes of such rules.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Forward-looking statements

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements with respect to expected financial performance, strategy and business conditions. The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements reflect management's current beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risk and uncertainties. Many factors could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause such differences include, but are not limited to those set out below and those set out in detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Information Form, which is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 40-F:

· Economic conditions, especially as they relate to commercial and consumer credit conditions and consumer spending.

· Commercial real estate property values, vacancy rates and general conditions of financial liquidity for real estate transactions.

· Residential real estate property values, resale rates and general conditions of financial liquidity for real estate transactions.

· Extreme weather conditions impacting demand for our services or our ability to perform those services.

· Competition in the markets served by the Company.

· Labour shortages or increases in wage and benefit costs.

· The effects of changes in interest rates on our cost of borrowing.

· Unexpected increases in operating costs, such as insurance, workers’ compensation, health care and fuel prices.

· Changes in the frequency or severity of insurance incidents relative to our historical experience.

· The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates in relation to the US dollar on the Company’s Canadian dollar denominated revenues and expenses.

· Our ability to make acquisitions at reasonable prices and successfully integrate acquired operations.

· Political conditions, including any outbreak or escalation of terrorism or hostilities and the impact thereof on our business.

· Changes in government policies at the federal, state/provincial or local level that may adversely impact our businesses.

We caution that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all possible factors, as other factors could adversely affect our results, performance or achievements. The reader is cautioned against undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in such forward-looking statements will be realized. The inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the future events, plans or expectations contemplated by the Company will be achieved. We note that past performance in operations and share price are not necessarily predictive of future performance. We disclaim any intention and assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement even if new information becomes available, as a result of future events except as required by securities law.
