WINNIPEG, MB , March 18, 2026 /CNW/ - Boyd Group Services Inc. (TSX: BYD) (NYSE: BGSI) ("the Boyd Group", "Boyd" or "the Company") today announced the results for the three and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025. The Boyd Group's fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial statements and MD&A have been filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov). This news release is not in any way a substitute for reading Boyd's financial statements, including notes to the financial statements, and Boyd's Management's Discussion & Analysis. 

Full Year 2025 Results and Highlights:

• Sales increased by 2.4% over the same period in 2024 to $3.1 billion, including incremental sales from 119 new locations of $94.2 million, partially offset by same-store sales^[1] declines of 0.2%. Fiscal 2025 included one fewer selling and production day than fiscal 2024, which reduced selling and production capacity by approximately 0.4% and resulted in the decline in same-store sales
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 12.4% to $376.3 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $334.8 million in 2024
• Adjusted net earnings¹ increased 28.8% to $62.4 million, compared with $48.5 million in Adjusted net earnings in 2024 and Adjusted net earnings per share¹ increased 23.0% to $2.78, compared with $2.26 in 2024. Commencing in the fourth quarter, the calculation of Adjusted net earnings excludes amortization of intangibles arising on acquisitions. Comparative periods have been restated for consistency. Prior to the adjustment for amortization of intangibles arising on acquisitions, Adjusted net earnings in 2025 was $44.4 million, compared with $30.9 million in 2024 and Adjusted net earnings per share was $1.98, compared with $1.44 in 2024
• Net earnings decreased 25.0% to $18.4 million, compared with $24.5 million in 2024 and net earnings per share decreased 28.3% to $0.82, compared with $1.14 in 2024.

• Increased cash flows provided by operating activities of $353.0 million, compared with $313.3 million in 2024

• Declared first and second quarter dividends in the amount of C$0.156 per share per quarter

"We closed out 2025 with strong momentum, highlighted by our second consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales growth, continued outperformance relative to industry trends, margin expansion and a strengthened competitive position", commented Mr. Brian Kaner, President & CEO of the Boyd Group. "As industry conditions improved, our results reflected disciplined execution of our growth strategy and substantial progress on our Project 360 initiative. We also announced the definitive agreement to acquire Joe Hudson's Collision Center and listed our shares on the New York Stock Exchange, two significant milestones that further increase our scale, deepen our U.S. presence, and position Boyd for continued long-term growth and value creation."

"Our strong operating performance in 2025 was driven by improvements in same-store sales, growth from new locations, including four small multi-shop operator acquisitions, and strong margin improvement from the continued execution of Project 360. Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 12.4% year-over-year, supported by a 110 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA margins¹ to 12.0%, demonstrating meaningful progress towards the Company's Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ goal of 14%+", continued Mr. Kaner.

"I am proud of the Boyd team's outstanding commitment and performance throughout 2025. When we launched Project 360 in the fourth quarter of 2024, we set ambitious goals, and it's rewarding to see the substantial progress we have made."

"Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited about the opportunities in front of us. The transformative acquisition of Joe Hudson's Collision Center marks a significant milestone, and we are confident that our increased scale, greater market density, and expanded growth platform will help us deliver even more value for our shareholders and customers. Our disciplined execution and clear focus on growth positions Boyd for continued success", concluded Mr. Kaner.

Outlook
Industry conditions steadily improved throughout 2025 and into the early part of 2026. Based on fourth quarter claims processing platform data, the Company estimates that repairable claims volume declined in the range of 2-4% during the quarter. This represents a notable improvement compared to earlier in the year, when claims were down an estimated 9-10% in the first quarter, 6-8% in the second quarter and 3-5% in the third quarter. Thus far in 2026, we have continued to see sustained improvement in the key industry drivers that supported this recovery, including insurance premium inflation falling below overall CPI levels, insurance rate reductions across several carriers and increasing used vehicle prices.

In the early months of 2026, while winter storms benefitted our northern regions, this benefit was partially offset by unusual storm activity in the U.S. South. These storms resulted in lower driving activity and therefore a short-term reduction in volume in our southern locations, including Joe Hudson's. As the quarter has progressed, we have seen volumes in the south normalize with overall same-store sales thus far tracking similar to fourth quarter levels. 

Integration of Joe Hudson's acquisition and realization of associated synergies are progressing well and remain in line with our initial expectations. Boyd has made solid progress with the integration of Joe Hudson's during the early months of 2026 with conversion of approximately 44% of locations over to the Company's information technology platforms and branding. This initiative is expected to be complete early in the second quarter.

As we advance the integration of Joe Hudson's, we remain well positioned to execute on our established pipeline of approximately eight to ten new start-up locations per quarter. In the first quarter of 2026, Boyd expects to open eight start-up locations, with an additional 24 currently in development through December 31, 2026. Start-up location development will be complemented by acquisitions, including single shop and small MSO acquisitions.

As in prior years, first quarter expenses are impacted by higher payroll taxes that occur early in the year, while the fourth quarter of 2025 benefited from reductions in expense accruals as certain estimates were firmed up at amounts lower than previously accrued.

In the long-term, management remains confident in its business model and its ability to enhance its industry position by expanding its presence in North America through strategic acquisitions alongside organic growth from Boyd's existing operations. Through more than 30 years of disciplined execution, we now operate over 1,300 locations across North America, and with the acquisition of Joe Hudson's we have solidified our position as the second largest independent collision repair operator. Despite this success, our market share remains modest in a highly fragmented industry of approximately 30,000 repair locations. This fragmentation provides significant consolidation and scale-driven efficiency opportunities for Boyd over the long-term.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios
Same-store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, which are not standardized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers. Boyd's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the performance of the business and to reward employees. These non-GAAP should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, such as net earnings or sales in measuring the performance of Boyd.

The following is a reconciliation of Boyd's non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this release:

SAME-STORE SALES
Same-store sales is a non-GAAP measure that includes only those locations in operation for the full comparative period. Same-store sales is presented excluding the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation on the current period. 

ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN

EBITDA represents an indication of the Company's capacity to generate income from operations before taking into account management's financing decisions and costs of consuming tangible and intangible capital assets, which vary according to their vintage, technological age and management's estimates of their useful life. EBITDA comprises sales less operating expenses before finance costs, capital asset amortization and impairment charges, and income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated to exclude items of an unusual nature that do not reflect normal or ongoing operations of BGSI and which should not be considered in a valuation metric or should not be included in an assessment of the ability to service or incur debt. Included as an adjustment to EBITDA are acquisition and transformational cost initiative expenses and fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and financial instruments which do not have a cash impact. These adjustments do not relate to the current operating performance of the business units but are typically costs incurred to expand operations as well as execute transformational plans. Acquisition and transformational costs include transaction costs in acquiring and integrating a business acquisition and other non-recurring costs related to the execution of Project 360. From time to time BGSI may make other adjustments to its Adjusted EBITDA for items that are not expected to recur. Management believes that in addition to net earnings and cash flows, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to readers to provide an indication of earnings from operations and cash available for distribution, both before and after debt management , productive capacity maintenance and non-recurring and other adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is a measure of operating profit that can be used to assess Boyd's operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total sales.

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Adjusted net earnings means net earnings adjusted to add back fair value adjustments (non-taxable) and acquisition and transformational cost initiatives (net of tax). Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2025, and on a go-forward basis, the calculation of Adjusted net earnings also excludes amortization of intangibles arising on acquisitions. Amortization of intangible assets arising on acquisition is the result of the purchase price allocation on completion of an acquisition. There are no future capital expenditures associated with maintaining or replacing these intangible assets. Comparative periods have been restated to reflect this additional adjustment. BGSI believes that certain users of financial statements are interested in understanding net earnings excluding certain fair value adjustments and other items of an unusual or infrequent nature that do not reflect normal or ongoing operations of the Company. This can assist these users in comparing current results to historical results that did not include such items.

Adjusted net earnings per share means Adjusted net earnings, divided by our weighted average number of shares for the applicable period.
