For the second quarter fiscal 2019, total revenue increased 1.1% to $596.6 million due to an increase in Maintenance Services Segment revenue, partially offset by a decline in Development Services Segment revenue. Total Adjusted EBITDA increased 18.4% driven by an increase in the Maintenance Services Segment coupled with a reduction of corporate expenses, partially offset by a decrease in the Development Services Segment Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed further below.

For the six months ended March 31, 2019, total revenue decreased 1.6% to $1,122.7 million due to declines in both the Maintenance Services Segment and Development Services Segment revenues. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $111.2 million, down 5.8% versus the prior year, driven by lower revenues, partially offset by a reduction of corporate expenses.

For the second quarter fiscal 2019, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment increased 2.9% to $473.3 million. Landscape Maintenance Services revenue increased 4.4%. Acquisitions added 8.4% but were partially offset by a 4.0% negative revenue contribution from commercial landscaping, including lower revenue due to Managed Exits as the Company strategically reduced a number of less profitable accounts established in previous years. Including revenue contribution from acquisitions, snow removal services revenue increased 0.8%.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment in the quarter increased 11.5% to $65.0 million, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing 100 basis points versus the prior year quarter. The increase in segment profitability was mainly a result of the increase in revenue described above, coupled with a continued focus on efficiency initiatives to reduce overhead, personnel and related costs across the Company’s core functions.

For the six months ended March 31, 2019, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment remained relatively flat at $865.8 million. Landscape Maintenance Services revenue increased 0.5%. Acquisitions added 7.2% but were mostly offset by a 6.7% negative revenue contribution from commercial landscaping, including a difficult comparison with the revenue related to Hurricane Irma and Maria clean-up, the final impact from the prior-year turnover of national accounts, and lower revenue due to Managed Exits as the Company strategically reduced the number of less profitable accounts established in previous years. Snow removal services revenue decreased 1.6% due to lower year-over-year snowfall in key geographies, especially during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment for the six months ended March 31, 2019 decreased 4.4% to $113.7 million, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin decreasing 60 basis points versus the prior year period. The decline in

segment profitability was mainly a result of higher-margin hurricane clean-up activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and a decline in the contribution from snow removal services due to timing and below average snowfall during the first quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Development Services - Operating Highlights
	Three Months Ended March 31,							Six Months Ended March 31,
($ in millions)	2019			2018			Change	2019			2018			Change
Revenue	$	124.0		$	131.0		(5.4%)	$	258.4		$	276.2		(6.5%)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	11.0		$	12.9		(14.3%)	$	28.1		$	33.3		(15.8%)

Capital Expenditures	$	3.5		$	0.9		302.1%	$	6.7		$	1.8		275.6%

Revenues for the Development Services Segment decreased 5.4% to $124.0 million for the second quarter fiscal 2019. Project revenue derived from acquisitions coupled with commencement of work on new projects contributed to offset a decrease driven by the timing of work performed on certain large projects during the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment decreased 14.3% to $11.0 million in the quarter, negatively affected by the decrease in net revenue described above, as well as an increase in selling, general and administrative expense, which was the result of a cash collection in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 on a previously reserved receivable.

Revenues for the Development Services Segment decreased 6.5% to $258.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019. Project revenue derived from acquisitions coupled with commencement of work on new projects partially offset a challenging comparison with revenues generated from work performed on certain large projects in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment decreased 15.8% to $28.1 million during the six months ended March 31, 2019, negatively affected by the decrease in net revenue described above, as well as an increase in selling, general and administrative expense as described above.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was $64.7 million, compared to $79.2 million for the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable due to timing of collections, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue. Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was $25.1 million, a decrease in cash generation of $33.1 million versus the prior year. The decrease is reflective of the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities as well as an increase in capital expenditures excluding the fiscal 2018 purchase of legacy ValleyCrest facilities of $21.6 million.

For the six months ended March 31, 2019, capital expenditures were $42.6 million, compared with $44.1 million last year. The prior year period included the aforementioned purchase of legacy ValleyCrest facilities. The Company also generated proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $3.0 million and $1.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net of the legacy asset purchase and the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in each year, capital expenditures represented 3.5% and 1.8% of revenue in the first half of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s Total Net Financial Debt was $1.174 billion, an increase of $24.9 million compared to $1.149 billion at the fiscal year end. The Company’s Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 4.0x as of March 31, 2019, compared with 4.1x as of December 31, 2018.

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and aid understanding of the Company’s business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted Net Income” “Adjusted Earnings per Share” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow”. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow assist investors and in comparing our results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management regularly uses these measures as tools in evaluating our operating performance, financial performance and liquidity. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to supplement comparable GAAP measures in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone.

Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA, defined above, divided by Net Service Revenues.

Adjusted Net Income: We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) including interest and depreciation, and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions and the removal of the discrete tax items.

Adjusted Earnings per Share: We define Adjusted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow: We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, further adjusted for the acquisition of certain legacy properties associated with our acquired ValleyCrest business.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or the ratio of net income (loss) to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.
