Dexterra Group Announces Results for Q1 2022 and Declares Dividend

By: Newsfile

Highlights

  • Revenue of $224.0 million for Q1 2022 increased $68.6 million, or 44%, compared with Q1 2021 and $22.4 million compared to Q4 2021. The FCPI Dana Investments Inc. ("Dana") and Tricom Group ("Tricom") acquisitions in the quarter accounted for $25.2 million of the increase with the remainder primarily due to strong WAFES results related to high resource sector activity levels and new clients wins in 2021;

  • Dexterra Group Inc.'s ("Dexterra Group" or the "Corporation") Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2022 was $17.0 million compared to $18.1 million in Q4 2021 which included an unusual one-time contract renegotiation fee of $1.8 million for WAFES. The strong IFM and WAFES results were offset by delays in rapid affordable housing projects, inflationary pressures, and start-up costs for a new product line in the Modular business;

  • Net earnings were $1.1 million for Q1 2022 compared to consolidated net earnings of $4.5 million in Q1 2021. The Q1 2022 results included a provision for costs of $2.1 million associated with pre-acquisition Horizon North Logistics Inc. contract disputes and related remediation work;

  • Debt increased in Q1 2022 to $130.7 million at March 31, 2022. Approximately $50 million of the increase is due to the acquisitions;

  • The Free Cash Flow deficit of $11.7 million in Q1 2021 included a significant increase in trade receivables of $28.4 million, excluding the Dana acquisition, which related to higher sales and timing of client payments. The increase in trade receivables was temporary as days sales outstanding were significantly reduced in April. The Corporation expects its conversion of EBITDA to free cash flow to exceed 50% for fiscal 2022; and

  • The Corporation declared a dividend for Q2 2022 of $0.0875 per share for shareholders of record at June 30, 2022, to be paid on July 15, 2022.

(1) Includes CEWS of $4.9 million of three months ended March 31, 2021: IFM- $0.9 million, WAFES - $3.7 million, Modular Solutions -$0.3 million, Corporate - $0.1 million.

Integrated Facilities Management ("IFM")

For Q1 2022, IFM revenues were $64.2 million and increased by $26.2 million, or 69%, from the $38.0 million in Q1 2021. The increase reflects the acquisitions of Dana and Tricom, which contributed $20.9 million and $4.3 million in revenue in Q1 2022, respectively. Excluding the acquisitions, revenue was flat with Q4 2021 which included higher special projects revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding CEWS as a percentage of revenue, is 6.2% for Q1 2022, which is lower than the 7% recorded in Q1 2021 and is consistent with Q4 2021. The IFM business, excluding the 2022 acquisitions, improved margins in Q1 2022 as Dana included some one time acquisition costs.

Workforce Accommodations, Forestry and Energy Services ("WAFES")

Revenue from the WAFES segment for Q1 2022 was $115.1 million, an increase of $39.4 million compared to Q1 2021 and essentially flat with Q4 2021. WAFES revenue performance was strong in Q1 2022 due to increased camp occupancy and utilization across all services including catering, install, and rental activities as well as high access matting and space rental utilization in Energy Services.

The Q1 2022 Adjusted EBITDA excluding CEWS as a percentage of revenue is 14%, compared to 15% in Q1 2021 due primarily to revenue mix and the move to a greater percentage of support services work.

Modular Solutions

Modular Solutions segment revenues for Q1 2022 were $43.3 million compared to $41.9 million in Q1 2021 and $46.5 million in Q4 2021. Revenue was lower than expected due to client driven delays in affordable housing projects in Ontario and site access issues in the West due to the floods in British Columbia. Revenue is expected to rebound in Q2 2022 and through the balance of the year.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2022 was $0.4 million compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2021 and $2.9 million in Q4 2021. Margins in Q1 2022 were primarily impacted by materials and subcontractor cost inflation on fixed price contracts and the lost margin and start-up costs of $1 million on a new manufacture-only modular product for US-based multi-family projects. The delays in affordable housing projects also impacted plant utilization resulting in lower overhead absorption.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used by operating activities was $7.7 million, compared to cash generated of $17.9 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease in Q1 2022 primarily represents an increase in accounts receivable of $28.4 million, excluding the Dana acquisition, which was due to higher Q1 revenue and the timing of client payments. The conversion of EBITDA to free cash flow for 2022 is expected to exceed 50%.

Debt increased by $65.5 million in Q1 2022, which was primarily from funding the acquisitions and the working capital increase. Leverage approximates 1.6x 2021 Adjusted EBITDA. The Corporation's financial position and liquidity remain strong with $59.2 million unused capacity on its credit lines at March 31, 2022.
