FIRSTSERVICE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2001
(Unaudited)
(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS - FirstService Corporation (the "Company")
is a provider of property and business services to residential,
corporate and public sector customers in the United States and Canada.
The Company's operations are conducted through two operating divisions,
Property Services and Business Services. The Property Services division
includes Residential Property Management, Integrated Security Services
and Consumer Services and represented approximately 80% of the
Company's revenues for the year ended March 31, 2001. The Business
Services division provides customer support & fulfillment and business
process outsourcing services to corporations and government agencies.
2. SUMMARY OF PRESENTATION - The condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the presentation of interim financial
information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not
misleading.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2001 and the results
of its operations for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and
its cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. All
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending March 31,
2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2001
contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed on June 29, 2001.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - Effective April 1, 2001, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 142 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. These standards require
the Company to no longer amortize goodwill. This results in a material
increase in net earnings and earnings per share.
The prior period figures have not been restated for the impact of SFAS
No. 142. The tables below provide a reconciliation of previously
reported earnings to the earnings adjusted for SFAS No. 142.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT - On June 29, 2001, the Company amended and restated its
lending agreement to allow for the issuance of additional debt. The
amended and restated agreement provides a $140 million committed senior
revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") renewable and
extendible in 364-day increments, and if not renewed, a two-year final
maturity. The Credit Facility allows for borrowing in either U.S. or
Canadian currency and bears interest at 1.50% to 3.00% over floating
reference rates, depending on certain leverage ratios. At June 30,
2001, the Company had drawn $50.9 million on the Credit Facility, and
had $89.1 million of available un-drawn credit.
Also on June 29, 2001, the Company completed a private placement of
$100 million of 8.06% fixed-rate Senior Secured Notes (the "Notes").
The Notes have a final maturity of ten years, with equal annual
principal repayments beginning at the end of the fourth year, resulting
in a seven-year average life.
The Credit Facility and the Notes are pari-passu in terms of security.
The Company has granted the lenders and Note-holders various security
including the following: an interest in
-8-
all of the assets of the Company including the Company's share of its
subsidiaries, an assignment of material contracts and an assignment of
the Company's "call rights" with respect to shares of the subsidiaries
held by minority interests.
The covenants and other limitations within the amended lending
agreement and the Note agreement are substantially the same. The
covenants require the Company to maintain certain ratios including
leverage, fixed charge coverage, interest coverage and net worth. Other
limitations include prohibition from paying dividends, and without
prior approval, from undertaking certain mergers, acquisitions and
dispositions.
5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - Total comprehensive income was $6,166 and $4,231
for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Total
comprehensive income includes net earnings, foreign currency exchange
adjustments and current income taxes on realized foreign exchange gains
for income tax purposes.
6. SEGMENTED INFORMATION - Within the Property Services division, three
operating units (Residential Property Management, Integrated Security
Services and Consumer Services) provide a variety of services to
residential and commercial customers. The Business Services division
provides customer support & fulfillment and business process
outsourcing services to corporate and institutional clients.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(in U.S. dollars)
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates by reference certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such forward-looking
statements be subject to the safe harbors created by such legislation. Such
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include, but are
not limited to, statements regarding future events and the Company's plans,
goals and objectives. Such statements are generally accompanied by words such as
"intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect" or similar statements.
The Company's actual results may differ materially from such statements. Among
the factors that could result in such differences are the impact of weather
conditions, increased competition, labor shortages, the condition of the United
States and Canadian economies and the ability of the Company to make
acquisitions at reasonable prices. Although the Company believes that the
assumptions underlying its 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. The
Company notes that past performance in operations and share price are not
necessarily predictive of future performance.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000
Revenues increased $31.2 million, or 30%, to $136.6 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2002 from $105.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
Approximately $22.0 million of the increase is attributable to acquired
companies owned less than one year including Herbert A. Watts Ltd. ("Watts"),
Security Services and Technologies ("SST") and several smaller tuck-under
acquisitions.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
increased 30% to $18.8 million from $14.5 million in the prior year period. The
EBITDA margin for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 13.7%, unchanged
versus the prior year.
Depreciation for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 was $2.8 million, up 58% from
the prior year quarter due largely to acquisitions. In accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 - Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, effective April 1, 2001, goodwill is no longer being
amortized in the Statement of Earnings.
Interest expense for the quarter increased 19% over prior year levels to $2.7
million as a result of increased borrowings related to acquisitions offset by
lower interest rates. All acquisitions completed during the past year have been
financed through the Company's credit facilities.
The income tax provision for the second quarter was approximately 35% of
earnings before taxes, lower than the 40% recorded in the prior year. Before the
adoption of SFAS No. 142, the fiscal 2002 tax rate was 38%.
-10-
Minority interest increased to $1.5 million or 17.0% of earnings before minority
interest from $1.1 million or 16.9% in the prior year quarter (adjusted for SFAS
No. 142). The 32% increase in minority interest reflects the 31% increase in
earnings before minority interest.
Net earnings before the extraordinary item were $7.1 million, up 31% over the
prior year period (adjusted for SFAS No. 142), while diluted earnings per share
increased 23% to $0.49 from $0.40. The increase in diluted earnings per share
reflects a 6% increase in the weighted average share count as a result of shares
issued upon the exercise of options and an increase in dilution caused by the
80% increase in the average market price of the Company's shares relative to the
prior year.
On June 29, 2001, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $797,000 (after
taxes) on the early retirement of debt. The loss represented the unamortized
portion of financing fees related to the prior credit facility. The prior credit
facility was terminated to allow for the issuance of additional senior debt.
Revenues for the Property Services division were $105.5 million, an increase of
$19.1 million or 22% over the prior year due to internal growth of approximately
8% as well as several acquisitions. Property Services EBITDA grew 24% to $14.5
million or 13.7% of revenue compared to $11.6 million or 13.5% of revenue in the
prior year. The Property Services division is comprised of three service lines -
Residential Property Management, Integrated Security Services and Consumer
Services.
Residential Property Management revenue was $57.0 million for the quarter, up
22% over the prior year. EBITDA grew 26% to $7.1 million, while EBITDA margins
increased to 12.4% from 12.0% last year. Organic revenue growth was 10%, with
the balance coming from acquisitions completed in the past 12 months, most
notably Aquashield Corporation, a building restoration contractor in South
Florida, Arco Management, a residential property manager in New York City, and
Dickinson Management, a full-service residential property manager operating in
Jupiter and Palm Beach County in Florida.
Integrated Security Services posted revenue of $22.9 million, up 50% over the
prior year reflecting the impact of the acquisition of SST, which was acquired
in July 2000, together with strong internal growth. EBITDA was $1.9 million,
double the prior year's figure, while EBITDA margins improved from 6.2% last
year to 8.3% in the current quarter. Margin improvement resulted from a shift in
service mix toward higher-margin systems integration, with reduced emphasis on
security officer services.
In Consumer Services, revenue advanced to $25.6 million, an increase of 4% over
last year, while EBITDA increased to $5.5 million, up 8%. The margin was 21.4%
compared to 20.7% in the prior year period. Revenue growth was attributable to
the Creative Closets Boston acquisition completed in October 2000. Internal
revenue growth was flat for two reasons: a planned decline in product sales at
California Closets and production timing at the lawn care operations. California
Closets has historically provided laminated board and other supplies to
franchisees, but has decided to transition away from this practice and instead
facilitate direct relationships between franchisees and product suppliers. This
has the impact of lowering California Closets revenue and inventory but
increasing margins. California Closets system-wide sales were up over the prior
year period. Lawn care operations, located in Canada, experienced a slow start
to the season due to residual snow cover that lasted into mid-April. As a
result, at quarter-end, revenue from lawn care services was two to three weeks
behind where it was last year despite gains in customer count. Lawn care
operations are expected to get back on schedule in the second and third
quarters.
-11-
Revenues for the Business Services division rose to $31.0 million for the third
quarter, a 64% increase over the prior year primarily from the impact of the
acquisition of Watts. Business Services EBITDA increased to $5.5 million or
17.6% of revenue, compared to $4.0 million and 21.2% of revenue in the prior
year. The margin decline is attributable to the change in service mix resulting
from the Watts acquisition.
Corporate expenses remained flat at $1.2 million versus the prior year period in
the first quarter.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
Certain segments of the Company's operations, which in the aggregate comprise
approximately 15% of revenues, are subject to seasonal variations. Specifically,
the demand for residential lawn care, exterior painting, and commercial swimming
pool services in the northern United States and in Canada is highest during late
spring, summer and early fall and very low during winter. As a result, these
operations generate a large percentage of their annual revenues between April
and September. The Company has historically generated lower profits or net
losses during its third and fourth fiscal quarters, from October to March.
Residential Property Management (with the exception of swimming pool services),
Integrated Security Services, and Business Services generate revenues evenly
throughout the fiscal year.
The seasonality of swimming pool services and certain Consumer Services
operations (exterior painting and lawn care) results in variations in quarterly
EBITDA margins. Variations in quarterly EBITDA margins can also be caused by
acquisitions which alter the consolidated service mix. The Company's
non-seasonal businesses typically generate a consistent EBITDA margin over all
four quarters, while the Company's seasonal businesses experience high EBITDA
margins in the first two quarters, offset by negative EBITDA in the last two
quarters. As non-seasonal revenues increase as a percentage of total revenues,
the Company's quarterly EBITDA margin fluctuations should be reduced.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On June 29, 2001, the Company amended and restated its lending agreement to
allow for the issuance of additional debt. The amended and restated agreement
provides a $140 million committed revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") renewable and extendible in 364-day increments, and if not renewed, a
two-year final maturity. The Credit Facility allows for borrowing in U.S. and /
or Canadian currency and bears interest at 1.50% to 3.00% over floating
reference rates, depending on certain leverage ratios. Also on June 29, 2001,
the Company completed a private placement of $100 million of 8.06% Senior
Secured Notes (the "Notes"). The Notes have a final maturity of ten years, with
equal annual principal repayments beginning at the end of the fourth year,
resulting in a seven-year average life. Covenants and other limitations within
the amended lending agreement and the Notes are similar to those contained in
the prior lending agreement.
In connection with the Credit Facility and the Notes, the Company incurred
legal, agency and placement fees totaling $2.6 million, which will be amortized
over the life of the associated debt.
The Company believes these new credit arrangements will provide stability and
flexibility to finance acquisitions and working capital requirements for the
foreseeable future. Under the new credit arrangements, un-drawn available credit
under the Credit Facility was $89.1 million at June 30, 2001. The higher
interest rates with the new credit arrangements, relative to the prior lending
agreement, offset by recent declines in LIBOR, will result in a slightly higher
average interest rate in fiscal 2002.
-12-
During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, capital expenditures were $5.0 million.
Significant items included $1.6 million for service vehicles, $1.2 million for a
building in South Florida for the expansion of Residential Property Management
operations, and $1.0 million in computer equipment and software purchases,
primarily in Business Services.
Business acquisitions for the quarter totaled $1.2 million, comprised of two
Residential Property Management tuck-under acquisitions completed during the
quarter. In connection with certain acquisitions, the Company has agreed to pay
additional consideration based on operating results of the acquired entities.
The payment of any such amounts would be in cash and would result in an increase
in the purchase prices for such acquisitions and, as a result, additional
goodwill.
