ROSWELL, Ga. – (BUSINESS WIRE) – SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (the “Company” or “SiteOne”) (NYSE: SITE) announced earnings for its first quarter ended April 2, 2017 (“First Quarter 2017”).

“We are off to a good start in 2017 with positive growth in net sales and continued expansion of our gross margin. We were quite pleased with these results against a challenging comparison to the first quarter of last year when we experienced a very early spring which pulled forward significant sales from the second quarter and resulted in outsized growth. This year the weather returned to more normal seasonal patterns,” said Doug Black, SiteOne’s Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to see good market demand as we execute on our strategic and operational initiatives and as we accelerate our acquisition activity with the addition of four strong companies. Overall, we remain confident in our outlook for the full year.”

First Quarter 2017 Results

Net sales for the first quarter of 2017 increased to $335.0 million, or 2%, compared to $328.5 million for the prior-year period. Organic Daily Sales decreased 2% in the first quarter compared with the prior-year period. Organic Daily Sales in the first quarter reflected a more typical spring weather pattern compared to the prior-year period when the spring season began much earlier than normal and Organic Daily Sales grew 22%. Acquisitions contributed approximately $16.5 million in sales, or 5%, to our overall sales growth for the quarter.

Gross profit increased to $100.9 million, or 4%, compared to $97.0 million for the prior-year period. Gross margin improved by 60 bps to 30.1% for the first quarter 2017. Our gross margin expansion was driven by continued progress from our category management initiatives.    

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the first quarter increased to $113.7 million from $104.6 million in the same period last year, primarily reflecting the impact from acquisitions. SG&A as a percent of net sales increased to 33.9% compared to 31.8% for the first quarter 2016, reflecting additional staff and operating expenses associated with the acquisitions completed since last year.

Net loss for the first quarter was $10.5 million, compared to a net loss of $5.6 million during the same period in the prior year. The Net loss for the quarter is attributable to the seasonality of the business as well as the increase in interest expense from our debt related transactions and higher operating expenses associated with our acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million for the first quarter 2017, compared to $4.5 million for the prior-year period.

Outlook

For 2017, we continue to expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $155 million to $165 million.

Reconciliation for the forward-looking full-year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA outlook is not being provided, as the Company does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our 2017 Adjusted EBITDA outlook. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “intend,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions. You should be aware that these forward-looking

statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time that may cause our business not to develop as we expect, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: cyclicality in residential and commercial construction markets; general economic and financial conditions; weather conditions, seasonality and availability of water to end-users; laws and government regulations applicable to our business that could negatively impact demand for our products; public perceptions that our products and services are not environmentally friendly; competitive industry pressures; product shortages and the loss of key suppliers; product price fluctuations; inventory management risks; ability to implement our business strategies and achieve our growth objectives; acquisition and integration risks; increased operating costs; and other risks, as described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This release includes certain financial information, not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all), the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures should not be considered substitutes for the information contained in the historical financial information of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is set forth herein.

We present Adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate the operating performance and efficiency of our business. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for items permitted under the covenants of our credit facilities. EBITDA represents our Net income (loss) plus the sum of Income tax (benefit), Depreciation and amortization and interest expense, net of interest income. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, related party advisory fees, (gain) loss on sale of assets and other non-cash items, other non-recurring (income) and loss. Adjusted EBITDA does not include pre-acquisition acquired Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of net income has limitations as an analytical tool. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Net debt is defined as long-term debt (net of issuance costs and discounts) plus capital leases, net of cash and cash-equivalents on our balance sheet. Leverage Ratio is defined as Net Debt to the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. We define Organic Daily Sales as Organic Sales divided by the number of Selling Days in the relevant reporting period. We define Organic Sales as Net sales, including Net sales from newly-opened greenfield stores, but excluding Net sales from acquired stores until they have been under our ownership for at least four full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal year. Selling Days are the number of business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, that SiteOne branches are open during the relevant reporting period.
