CALGARY, Alberta, May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Diamond Group Limited ("Black Diamond", the "Company" or "we"), (TSX:BDI), a leading provider of space rental and workforce accommodation solutions, today announced its operating and financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (the "Quarter") compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022 (the "Comparative Quarter"). All financial figures are expressed in Canadian dollars.
Key Highlights from the First Quarter of 2023
- Consolidated rental revenue of $34.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA1 of $21.4 million were up 28% and 20% from the Comparative Quarter, respectively.
- Modular Space Solutions ("MSS") rental revenue set another quarterly record of $20.4 million and increased 27% from the Comparative Quarter. MSS Adjusted EBITDA of $16.1 million was also a quarterly record and increased 55% from the Comparative Quarter.
- MSS average monthly rental rate per unit (excluding the impact from acquisitions made in 2022) increased 15% from the Comparative Quarter (or 11% on a constant currency basis).
- MSS contracted future rental revenue for units on rent was $97.9 million at the end of the Quarter, up 73% from the Comparative Quarter. Workforce Solutions ("WFS") contracted future rental revenue for contracts in place was $32.8 million at the end of the Quarter, up 62% from the Comparative Quarter.
- WFS rental revenue of $14.0 million, increased 30% from the Comparative Quarter. WFS consolidated utilization of 65% is the highest level observed in over five years.
- LodgeLink net revenue of $2.2 million grew 69% from the Comparative Quarter, while the business also reported 105,958 room nights sold in the Quarter, a 39% increase from the prior year. LodgeLink U.S. volumes more than doubled from the Comparative Quarter and continues to see an accelerated pace of growth.
- Return on Assets1 for the Quarter of 16.3% represents a meaningful premium over the Company's cost of capital and is consistent with the Comparative Quarter.
- Capital investment into organic growth was $13.5 million, while maintenance capital for the Quarter was $2.3 million. Rental asset additions have been primarily non-speculative in that contracts are in place before the asset is built.
- Funds from Operations of $21.4 million increased 11% while Free Cashflow1 for the Quarter of $13.0 million was down 4% from the Comparative Quarter due to higher interest costs and capitalized maintenance.
- Long term debt and Net Debt1 at the end of the Quarter declined $12.1 million and $10.3 million from the fourth quarter 2022 respectively to $214.8 million and $208.6 million. Net Debt to trailing twelve month ("TTM") Adjusted Leverage EBITDA1 of 2.3x remains at the lower end of the Company's target range of 2.0x to 3.0x while available liquidity was $115.9 million at the end of the Quarter.
- Profit for the Quarter of $4.4 million increased 10% from the Comparative Quarter. Profit growth for the Quarter was half of the 20% increase in Adjusted EBITDA due to higher share-based compensation driven by strong operating performance and increased share prices, as well as higher interest expenses due to rising interest rates.
- Administrative costs as a percentage of Gross Profit remained consistent with the Comparative Quarter despite inflationary pressures.
- Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, the Company also declared a second quarter dividend of $0.02 payable on or about July 15, 2023, to shareholders of record on June 30, 2023.
Outlook
The Company’s diverse and sizable rental platform has continued to grow its core, recurring rental revenue and management believes the outlook into 2023 remains positive. Contributing factors to ongoing rental revenue growth include continued increases in average rental rates across the MSS portfolio of assets as units are re-contracted in today’s higher-rate environment, deployment of contract-backed organic growth capital in MSS, ongoing potential for improving utilization in WFS, and continued rapid scaling of LodgeLink, particularly in the U.S. market.
The MSS segment set another quarterly record in both rental revenue and Adjusted EBITDA1. The Company expects continued growth in MSS rental revenues throughout 2023 driven by ongoing increases in average rental rate per unit as contracts expire and are renewed in a higher rate environment, robust utilization levels across regions, and continued fleet growth. MSS' opportunity pipeline and backlog remains strong and continues to be ahead of levels experienced at the same time last year.
The Company’s outlook for the WFS segment is also constructive. The WFS segment is more project oriented than the MSS segment, resulting in more variability to rental revenues. However, the strategies put in place several years ago to diversify the WFS customer base continues to support deployment of previously idled assets into increasingly diversified geographies and customer industries. Consolidated utilization in the WFS segment was 65% for the Quarter, the highest level observed in many years. This has resulted in continued growth in core rental revenues, which were up 30% year-over-year. Management has continued to invest growth capital into Australia, where its asset base is effectively fully utilized while also opportunistically right-sizing parts of the North American WFS asset base. Management expects this to continue to provide high levels of Free Cashflow1 for reinvestment.
LodgeLink net revenues grew 69% year-over-year as Net Revenue Margin1 improved to 11.9%. While room nights sold were down modestly on a sequential basis from the fourth quarter of 2022, which had high levels of booking volumes driven by natural disaster-related work, the platform continues to see strong uptake from both new and existing customers. Volumes during this Quarter also reached a record high in the U.S. which remains as a large and significant addressable market. Supply has also continued to grow at a strong pace with over 11,000 properties listed, representing over 1.1 million rooms.
The Company expects operating performance in 2023 to remain strong given the diverse nature of the existing asset rental business, further supported by a strong level of contract coverage. The Company’s liquidity position provides a high degree of optionality, with $115.9 million of available liquidity on its debt facility which is not up for renewal until October 2026. While interest rates are significantly higher than a year ago, approximately one third of debt is hedged at fixed rates. Management believes the Company can continue to compound returns through reinvestment in high-return, long-lived rental assets with attractive contract terms and economics. That said, the Company’s growth capital expenditures remain fully discretionary. If the Company encounters an environment where macro-economic events begin impacting asset-level returns, the Company’s platform allows for the flexibility to re-allocate high levels of Free Cashflow towards accelerated debt repayment or shareholder returns. Management continues to see a healthy bid volume and backlog of projects with a diversified customer base focused on longer-term infrastructure, education and government-related services, which provides the confidence that there is ample opportunity to deploy investment capital exceeding internal hurdle rates, while maintaining a conservative balance sheet.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this news release, the following specified financial measures and ratios have been disclosed: Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA, Return on Assets, Net Revenue Margin and Free Cashflow. These non-GAAP and other financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Readers are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to measures under IFRS and should not, on their own, be construed as an indicator of the Company's performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return on the common shares of the Company. These non-GAAP measures should only be used in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under IFRS and does not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA refers to consolidated earnings before finance costs, tax expense, depreciation, amortization, accretion, foreign exchange, share-based compensation, acquisition costs, non-controlling interests, share of gains or losses of an associate, write-down of property and equipment, impairment, restructuring costs, and gains or losses on the sale of non-fleet assets in the normal course of business.
Black Diamond uses Adjusted EBITDA primarily as a measure of operating performance. Management believes that operating performance, as determined by Adjusted EBITDA, is meaningful because it presents the performance of the Company's operations on a basis which excludes the impact of certain non-cash items as well as how the operations have been financed. In addition, management presents Adjusted EBITDA because it considers it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and believes this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar capital structures.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and readers should not consider this item in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under IFRS. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA are:
- Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain income tax payments and recoveries that may represent a reduction or increase in cash available to the Company;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on the Company's debt;
- depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, thus the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
- other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the Company's business. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the Company's IFRS results and using Adjusted EBITDA only on a supplementary basis. A reconciliation to profit, the most comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
Return on Assets is calculated as annualized Adjusted EBITDA divided by average net book value of Property and Equipment. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by multiplying Adjusted EBITDA for the Quarter and Comparative Quarter by an annualized multiplier. Management believes that ROA is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating operating performance for the periods presented. When read in conjunction with our profit (loss) and property and equipment, two GAAP measures, it provides investors with a useful tool to evaluate Black Diamonds ongoing operations and management of assets from period-to-period.

Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial ratio which is calculated as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. A reconciliation to long-term debt, the most comparable GAAP measure, is provided below. Net Debt and Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA removes cash and cash equivalents from the Company's debt balance. Black Diamond uses this ratio primarily as a measure of operating performance. Management believes this ratio is an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and believes this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar capital structures. In the June 30, 2022 Quarter, Net Debt to TTM Adjusted EBITDA was renamed Net Debt to TTM Adjusted Leverage EBITDA, to provide further clarity on the composition of the denominator to include pre-acquisition estimates of EBITDA from business combinations. Management believes including the additional information in this calculation helps provide information of the impact of trailing operations from business combinations on the Company's leverage position.

Funds from Operations is calculated as the cash flow from operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measure, excluding the changes in non-cash working capital. Management believes that Funds from Operations is a useful measure as it provides an indication of the funds generated by the operations before working capital adjustments. Changes in long-term accounts receivables and non-cash working capital items have been excluded as such changes are financed using the operating line of Black Diamond's credit facilities. A reconciliation to cash flow from operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
Free Cashflow is calculated as Funds from Operations minus maintenance capital, net interest paid (including lease interest), payment of lease liabilities, net current income tax expense (recovery), distributions declared to non-controlling interest, dividends paid on common shares and dividends paid on preferred shares plus net current income taxes received (paid). Management believes that Free Cashflow is a useful measure as it provides an indication of the funds generated by the operations before working capital adjustments and other items noted above. Management believes this metric is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar capital structures. A reconciliation to cash flow from operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.

Gross Bookings, a non-GAAP measure, is total revenue billed to the customer which includes all fees and charges. Net revenue, a GAAP measure, is Gross Bookings less costs paid to suppliers. Revenue from bookings at third party lodges and hotels through LodgeLink are recognized on a net revenue basis. LodgeLink is an agent in the transaction as it is not responsible for providing the service to the customer and does not control the service provided by a supplier. Management believes this ratio is an important supplemental measure of LodgeLink's performance and cash generation and believes this ratio is frequently used by interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar forms of revenue generation.
Net Revenue Margin is calculated by dividing net revenue by Gross Bookings for the period. Management believes this ratio is an important supplemental measure of LodgeLink's performance and profitability and believes this ratio is frequently used by interested parties in the evaluation of companies in industries with similar forms revenue generation where companies act as agents in transactions.
