For the fourth quarter fiscal 2018, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment rose 3.5% to $433.4 million. Landscape Maintenance Services revenue rose 3.7%, driving the segment’s revenue growth. Acquisitions added 7.7% but were partially offset by a 4.0% negative revenue contribution from commercial landscaping. Within this decline, underlying commercial landscaping contributed 1.5% to growth with offsetting impacts of 2.9%, from a difficult comparison with the revenue related to Hurricane Irma clean-up in the fourth quarter of 2017, and 2.6%, from Managed Exits as the Company strategically reduced the number of less profitable accounts established in previous years.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment in the quarter increased 3.5% to $79.6 million, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin remaining flat versus the prior year quarter.
For full year fiscal 2018, revenue for the Maintenance Services Segment increased 7.4% to $1,774.8 million, with Landscape Maintenance Services revenue 4.4% higher and Snow Removal Services revenue, compared with a far-below-average prior year, up 30.8%. Acquired businesses added 6.6% to the growth of Landscape Maintenance Services revenue, while commercial landscaping reduced growth by 2.2%. The decline in commercial landscaping revenue was mostly due to the strategic Managed Exits initiative, which reduced revenue by 1.6%. The balance of the decline was largely due to an early-year loss in the Company’s national accounts portfolio. The timing of Hurricane Irma in September and October of 2017 caused it to generate similar revenue in consecutive quarters over two different fiscal years. As a result, the quarterly comparisons versus the prior year created a variance but the full-year comparison was muted.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment in fiscal 2018 increased 12.3% to $289.8 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 70 basis points to 16.3%.

Revenues for the Development Services Segment were relatively flat at $149.7 million for the fourth quarter fiscal 2018. New project revenue and project revenue derived from Maintenance Services acquisitions contributed to offset a comparison with the timing of work performed on certain large projects in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment increased 30% to $23.4 million in the quarter, benefitting from the substantial completion of certain large lower margin projects that impacted the prior year quarter.
Revenue in the Development Services Segment increased 1.1% to $583.3 million for fiscal 2018, driven by $7.2 million in project revenue derived from Maintenance Services acquisitions. Revenue from new projects in fiscal 2018 largely offset the revenue generated by certain large projects in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA in the Development Services Segment increased 1.7% to $78.7 million for fiscal 2018. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 13.5%, or relatively flat compared to the prior year.

1Total Financial Debt equals total long term debt, less original issue discount, plus the present value of net minimum lease payments under capital lease obligations.
2 Net Debt equals Total Financial Debt minus Total Cash & Equivalents
Net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 was $180.4 million, compared to $124.2 million for the prior year. Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $127.6 million, an increase in cash generation of $57.2 million over the prior year. The increases are reflective of higher operating cash flows and improvements in working capital management.
For fiscal 2018, capital expenditures were $86.4 million, compared with $60.9 million last year, driven by the purchase of legacy ValleyCrest facilities for $21.6 million in October 2017. The Company also generated proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $12.0 million and $7.0 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net of the legacy asset purchase in 2018 and the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in each year, capital expenditures represented 2.2% and 2.4% of revenue in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s Net Debt2 was $1.15 billion, a reduction of $478 million compared to $1.63 billion at the prior year end. Combined with higher Adjusted EBITDA generation for the fiscal year, the change in the Company’s net debt led to a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.8x as of September 30, 2018.
In connection with the Company’s term loan repayments during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company incurred non-cash losses on debt extinguishment of $25.1 million in the period. These non-cash losses, which are included in the “Other (Expense) Income” line of the income statement, arose from the accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees and the original issue discount.
2019 Fiscal Year Outlook
For the full year fiscal 2019, BrightView is providing the following guidance:
- Total Revenue of between $2,400 million and $2,470 million;
- Adjusted EBITDA of between $310 million and $318 million;
- Managed Exits of $15 to $25 million in revenue, declining over the course of the fiscal year;
- Net Capital Expenditures of approximately 2.5% of revenue.
Although the first quarter of 2019 faces a comparison of $17.5 million in hurricane clean-up revenue in the prior-year first quarter (including $4.0 million from acquired businesses), underlying trends in the industry are expected to remain positive for the 2019 fiscal year, supporting topline growth in the Company’s existing footprint as well as a robust acquisition pipeline for the year. BrightView plans to continue its strategic approach to pricing, service enhancements, customer retention, new business development and “strong on strong” acquisitions. Finally, the Company will work to identify additional opportunities to leverage its SG&A and Corporate expenses in order to further expand operating margins.
The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of our financial outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), its corresponding GAAP measure, because the GAAP measure that we exclude from our non-GAAP financial outlook is difficult to reliably predict or estimate without unreasonable effort due to its dependence on future uncertainties, such as items discussed below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Additionally, information that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.
Recent Developments
California Wildfires
As of the date of this release, the devastating wildfires in both Northern and Southern California that began during the month of November 2018, have not caused material damage to either the Company’s office in Calabasas, CA, or its branch offices in the state. The Company is monitoring the situation but does not currently expect the wildfires to have a material impact on its employees, revenue stream or cost structure moving forward.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
