FIRSTSERVICE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2023

(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: (i) on-site staffing, including building engineering and maintenance, full-service amenity management, security, concierge and front desk personnel; (ii) proprietary banking and insurance products; and (iii) 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, FIRST ONSITE, California Closets, Certa Pro Painters, Pillar to Post Home Inspectors, Floor Coverings International, and Century Fire Protection.

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, 2022.

These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies as the most recent audited consolidated financial statements. 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 March 31, 2023 and the results of operations and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

3.       REVENUE RECOGNITION – Within the FirstService Brands segment, franchise fee revenue recognized in the quarter that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $1,543 (2022 - $1,211). These fees are recognized over the life of the underlying franchise agreement, usually between 5 - 10 years.

The majority of current unearned revenues as at December 31, 2022 are expected to be recognized into income during 2023.

External broker costs and employee sales commissions in obtaining new franchisees are capitalized and are amortized over the life of the underlying franchise agreement. Costs amortized in the quarter were $634 (2022 - $509). The closing amount of the capitalized costs to obtain contracts on the balance sheet as at March 31, 2023 was $8,946 (2022 - $7,596). 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 March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of backlog was $701,020 (December 31, 2022 - $631,660). The Company expects to recognize revenue on the remaining backlog over the next 12 months.

Page 9 of 23 

Disaggregated revenues are as follows:

		Three months
		ended March 31
		2023		2022
FirstService Residential revenue	$	445,580	$	394,083
FirstService Brands company-owned operations revenue		525,604		398,452
FirstService Brands franchisor revenue		45,690		40,797
FirstService Brands franchise fee revenue		1,571		1,240

The Company disaggregates revenue by segment. Within the FirstService Brands segment, the Company 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 percentage of completion 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.       ACQUISITIONS – In the quarter, the Company completed three acquisitions, two in the FirstService Residential segment and one in the FirstService Brands segment. In the FirstService Residential segment, the Company acquired two property management firms, one operating in New York City and the other in Toronto. In the FirstService Brands segment, the Company acquired a Paul Davis franchise headquartered in Houston, Texas. The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred was as follows: cash of $82,351 (net of cash acquired of $3,951), $14,625 paid in escrow just prior to December 31, 2022, and contingent consideration of $4,250. In the prior year quarter, the Company did not complete any acquisitions.

The purchase price allocations for certain transactions completed in the last twelve months are not yet complete, pending final determination of the fair value of assets acquired. These acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase price 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. There have been no material changes to the estimated purchase price allocations determined at the time of acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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 earnings level and (iii) the actual earnings for the contingency period. If the acquired business does not achieve the specified earnings level, the maximum payment is reduced for any shortfall, potentially to nil.

Except for where arrangements represent compensation for the benefit of the Company, contingent consideration is recorded at fair value each reporting period. The fair value recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2023 was $33,734 (see note 9). The estimated range of outcomes (undiscounted) for these contingent consideration arrangements is $31,600 to a maximum of $37,177. The contingencies will expire during the period extending to October 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $6,096 was paid with reference to such contingent consideration (2022 - $161).

5.       LEASES – The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, copiers, and certain equipment. Its leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 16 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 10 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 was $13,228 (2022 - $11,734).

Other information related to leases was as follows (in thousands):

Supplemental Cash Flows Information, three months ended March 31		2023
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities	$	12,251
Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligation	$	18,389

6.       INVENTORIES - Inventories are comprised of the following:

		March 31,		December 31,
		2023		2022
Work-in-progress	$	195,861	$	177,134
Finished Goods		30,876		32,340
Supplies and other		33,740		32,867
	$	260,477	$	242,341

7.       INCOME TAX – The provision for income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflected an effective tax rate of 26% (2022 - 25%) relative to the statutory rate of approximately 27% (2022 - 27%). The difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate relates to the differential between tax rates in certain jurisdictions, as well as taxable permanent differences.

8.       LONG-TERM DEBT – The Company has $60,000 of senior secured notes (the “Senior Notes”) bearing interest at a rate of 3.84%. The Senior Notes are due on January 16, 2025, with two remaining annual equal repayments, the next payment coming due on January 16, 2024.

In February 2022, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement providing for a $1,000,000 revolving credit facility on an unsecured basis. The maturity date of the revolving credit facility is February 2027. The new revolving credit facility bears interest at 0.20% to 2.50% over floating reference rates, depending on certain leverage ratios. The current revolving credit facility replaced the Company’s previous $450,000 revolving credit facility and $440,000 term loan (drawn in a single advance) that were set to mature in January 2023 and June 2024, respectively. The new revolving credit facility was used to repay the remaining term loan balance of $407,000 under the prior credit agreement, and will continue to be utilized for working capital and general corporate purposes and to fund future tuck-under acquisitions.

In September 2022, the Company entered into two new revolving, uncommitted financing facilities for potential future private placement issuances of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) aggregating $450,000 with its existing lenders, NYL Investors LLC (“New York Life”) of up to $150,000 and PGIM Private Capital (“Prudential”), of up to $300,000, in each case, net of any existing notes held by them. The facilities each have a three-year term ending September 29, 2025. The Company has the ability to issue incremental Note tranches under the Facilities, subject to acceptance by New York Life or Prudential, with varying maturities as determined by the Company, and with coupon pricing determined at the time of each Note issuance. As part of the closing of the New York Life facility, the Company issued, on a private placement basis to New York Life, $60,000 of 4.53% Notes, which are due in full on September 29, 2032, with interest payable semi-annually.

9.       FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – The following table provides the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023:

				Fair value measurements at March 31, 2023
		Carrying value at
		March 31, 2023		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Interest rate swap asset		3,762		—		3,762		—
Contingent consideration liability	$	33,734	$	—	$	—	$	33,734

The fair value of the interest rate swap asset was calculated through discounting future expected cash flows using the appropriate prevailing interest rate swap curve adjusted for credit risk. The inputs to the measurement of the fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions are Level 3 inputs 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 the 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.

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

		2023
Balance, January 1	$	34,188
Amounts recognized on acquisitions		4,250
Fair value adjustments		1,509
Resolved and settled in cash		(6,096	)
Other		(117	)
Balance, March 31	$	33,734
Less: Current portion		25,295
Non-current portion	$	8,439

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, 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 2 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 4.5% to 5.0%). The following are estimates of the fair values for other financial instruments:

		March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
		Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
		amount		value		amount		value
Other receivables	$	4,344	$	4,344	$	4,881	$	4,881
Long-term debt		838,581		838,507		734,463		736,818

10.     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:

Page 12 of 23 

		2023
Balance, January 1	$	233,429
RNCI share of earnings		2,433
RNCI redemption increment		4,116
Distributions paid to RNCI		(358	)
Purchases of interests from RNCI, net		(2,719	)
RNCI recognized on business acquisitions		6,699
Other		1,075
Balance, March 31	$	244,675

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 average annual net earnings before extraordinary items, income taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization. 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 Common Shares. The redemption amount as of March 31, 2023 was $225,318. 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 March 31, 2023, approximately 1,600,000 such shares would be issued; this would be accretive to net earnings per share.

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

11.     NET EARNINGS PER SHARE – The following table reconciles the basic and diluted shares outstanding:

	Three months ended
(in thousands)	March 31
	2023	2022
Basic shares	44,396	44,085
Assumed exercise of Company stock options	265	415
Diluted shares	44,661	44,500

12.     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Company stock option plan

The Company has a stock option plan for certain directors, officers and key 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. As at March 31, 2023, there were no options available for future grants.

Grants under the Company’s stock option plan are equity-classified awards. There were 557,850 stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 (2022 - 580,000). Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was as follows:

FIRSTSERVICE CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE three MONTH PERIOD ENDED March 31, 2023

(in US dollars)

May 4, 2023

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 month period ended March 31, 2023 and the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and MD&A, for the year ended December 31, 2022. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). All financial information herein is presented in United States dollars.

The Company has prepared this MD&A with reference to National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Under the U.S./Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System, the Company is permitted to prepare this MD&A in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada, which requirements are different from those of the United States. This MD&A provides information for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 and up to and including May 4, 2023.

Additional information about the Company, including the Company’s Annual Information Form, which is included in FirstService’s Annual Report on Form 40-F, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the US Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.

Results of operations - three months ended March 31, 2023

Consolidated revenues for our first quarter were $1.02 billion, 22% higher than the comparable prior year quarter. On an organic basis, revenues were up 17%, with the balance from contribution of tuck-under acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures” below) for the first quarter was $82.1 million versus $62.3 million reported in the prior year quarter. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.1% of revenues, versus 7.5% in the prior year quarter. Consolidated operating earnings for the quarter were $40.9 million, compared to $29.0 million in the prior year period. The operating earnings margin was 4.0% versus 3.5% in the prior year quarter. The increase in margins was driven by operating leverage at our FirstService Brands segment, partially offset by margin compression in the FirstService Residential segment.

Depreciation and amortization expense totalled $31.9 million, relative to $25.9 million in the prior year, with the increase primarily related to recently acquired company-owned operations in our FirstService Brands segment.

Net interest expense increased to $10.6 million, up from $4.4 million in the prior year quarter, with the difference mainly attributable to the higher cost of debt, as well as an increase in our average outstanding debt.

The consolidated income tax rate for the quarter was 26%, compared to 25% in the prior year quarter, relative to the statutory rate of 27% in both periods. The effective tax rate for the full year is expected to be approximately 26%.

Net earnings for the quarter were $22.7 million, versus $18.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to higher profitability in the FirstService Brands segment, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense, as well as increased interest expense in the quarter.

The non-controlling interest (“NCI”) share of earnings was $2.4 million for the first quarter, relative to $0.6 million in the prior period, with the increase attributable to earnings mix from the relative performance at our non-wholly owned operations.

Page 16 of 23 

The FirstService Residential segment reported revenues of $445.6 million for the first quarter, up 13% versus the prior year quarter, including 11% organic growth. Top-line performance was driven by new property management contract wins and very strong growth in our labour-related services across most markets. Adjusted EBITDA was $32.0 million relative to $30.4 million in the prior year quarter. Operating earnings for the first quarter were $22.7 million versus $23.4 million in the prior year period. Operating margins were impacted by the strong year-over-year growth of lower margin labour-driven services, including the ramp-up of amenity management operations during the typical seasonal trough period.

Revenues from the FirstService Brands segment in the first quarter were $572.9 million, up 30% relative to the prior year period. The revenue increase was comprised of 23% organic growth, together with the contribution from recent tuck-under acquisitions. Top-line organic growth was exceptionally strong within our Century Fire Protection and restoration brands, the latter of which benefitted from significant activity arising from area-wide weather events. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $54.8 million, up from $36.1 million in the prior year period. Operating earnings were $30.2 million versus $15.8 million in the prior year quarter. Operating margins increased primarily as a result of operating leverage driven by the strong revenue growth across our service lines.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA were $4.7 million for the quarter, relative to $4.2 million in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, corporate costs for the current quarter were $11.9 million, compared to $10.1 million in the prior year period, with the increase primarily due to stock-based compensation expense.

Seasonality and quarterly fluctuations

Certain segments of the Company’s operations 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 consolidated service mix.

FirstService Residential generates peak revenues and earnings in the third quarter, as seasonal ancillary swimming pool management revenues are earned. FirstService Brands includes certain home improvement brands, which generate the majority of their revenues during the second and third quarters, and restoration operations which are influenced by weather patterns that typically can result in higher revenues and earnings in any given reporting quarter.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures

In this MD&A, we make reference to “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EPS”, 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 (income) expense; (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, its ability to service debt, and 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 a measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance, due to the low capital intensity of the Company’s 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 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. 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.

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 expense related to 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 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 net earnings to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings per share to adjusted EPS appears below.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS, 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 EPS 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 used by operating activities was $0.3 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2023, versus $1.5 million of cash generated in the prior year period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, capital expenditures were $21.5 million. Based on our current operations, maintenance capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2023 are expected to be approximately $80 million, with total capital expenditures approaching $100 million, which includes a significant office move in the FirstService Residential segment.

In April 2023, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.225 per common share in respect of the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Net indebtedness as at March 31, 2023 was $707.2 million, versus $598.2 million at December 31, 2022. Net indebtedness is calculated as the current and non-current portion of long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. The change in indebtedness resulted primarily from acquisition spending in the quarter which totalled $82.4 million. We are in compliance with the covenants within our financing agreements as at March 31, 2023 and, based on our outlook for the balance of the year, we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants. We had $244.1 million of available un-drawn credit as of March 31, 2023.

Page 20 of 23 

In relation to acquisitions completed during the past two years, we have outstanding contingent consideration totalling $33.7 million as at March 31, 2023 ($34.2 million as at December 31, 2022) assuming all contingencies are satisfied and payment is due in full. Such payments, if any, are due during the period extending to October 2025. The contingent consideration liability is recognized at fair value upon acquisition and is re-measured 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $6.1 million of contingent consideration was paid (2022 - $0.2 million).

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as at March 31, 2023:

Contractual obligations	Payments due by period
(in thousands of US dollars)				Less than						After
		Total		1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		5 years
Long-term debt	$	822,891	$	30,000	$	30,000	$	702,891	$	60,000
Interest on long-term debt		119,834		43,363		59,973		13,780		2,718
Capital lease obligations		15,690		5,320		7,326		3,044		-
Contingent acquisition consideration		33,734		25,295		8,439		-		-
Operating leases		262,644		54,945		88,841		53,034		65,824
Total contractual obligations	$	1,254,793	$	158,923	$	194,579	$	772,749	$	128,542

At March 31, 2023, we had commercial commitments totaling $19.4 million comprised of letters of credit outstanding due to expire within one year. We are required to make semi-annual payments of interest on both our senior secured and senior unsecured notes at interest rates of 3.84% and 4.53%, respectively.

Redeemable non-controlling interests

In most operations where managers, employees or brokers 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 50% 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.

		March 31		December 31
(in thousands of US dollars)		2023		2022
FirstService Residential	$	64,814	$	60,424
FirstService Brands		160,504		148,522
	$	225,318	$	208,946

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) or (ii) the amount initially recorded as RNCI at the date of inception of the minority equity position. As at March 31, 2023, the RNCI recorded on the balance sheet was $244.7 million. The purchase prices of the RNCI may be paid in cash or in our common shares, at the option of FirstService. If all RNCI were redeemed in cash, the pro forma estimated accretion to GAAP diluted net earnings per share for the first quarter of 2023 would be $0.09 and nil impact to adjusted EPS.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

The Company does not believe that it has off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial performance or financial condition.

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, 2022.

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 two interest swaps in place to exchange the floating interest rate on $200 million of debt under our Credit Agreement for a fixed rate.

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 three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.1 million (2022 - $1.2 million).

As at March 31, 2023, the Company had $2.4 million of loans receivable from minority shareholders (December 31, 2022 - $2.4 million). The business purpose of the loans receivable is 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 of this MD&A, the Company has outstanding 44,558,817 common shares. In addition, as at the date hereof 2,620,249 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 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.
