NEW BRIGHTON, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- APi Group Corporation (NYSE: APG) (“APG”, “APi” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

• Reported gross margin was 25.6%, representing a 302 basis point increase compared to prior year period reported gross margin of 22.5%, driven by an improved mix of inspection and service revenue supplemented by acquisitions in Safety Services and organic growth as well as improved productivity in Specialty Services, partially offset by supply chain disruptions and inflation causing downward pressure on margins
• Adjusted gross margin was 26.4%, representing a 371 basis point increase compared to prior year period adjusted gross margin of 22.7%, driven by an improved mix of inspection and service revenue supplemented by acquisitions in Safety Services and organic growth as well as improved productivity in Specialty Services, partially offset by supply chain disruptions and inflation causing downward pressure on margins
• Reported net loss was $7 million, representing a $1 million increase from prior year period reported net loss of $8 million
• Adjusted net income was $62 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.23, representing a $0.13 increase from prior year period driven by accretion from acquisitions in Safety Services and strong organic growth in Safety and Specialty Services

• Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.7%, representing a 111 basis point increase compared to prior year period adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.6%, driven by an improved mix of inspection and service revenue supplemented by acquisitions in Safety Services and organic growth, partially offset by supply chain disruptions and inflation causing downward pressure on margins

Russ Becker, APi’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated: “We are pleased with our strong start to 2022 and the positive momentum we have across the entire business. Net revenues increased on an organic basis by 16% in the first quarter and we saw robust demand across our key end markets. In addition, our consolidated backlog continues to build and was at a record high level as of the end of March, providing us with a solid foundation for continued growth as we move through the rest of the year and into 2023.

The integration at Chubb is off to a good start and the strategic rationale for the transaction is proving even stronger than initially planned. After having our team on the ground for the last 90 days and working with local leadership, we believe we now see a clear path to value capture opportunities that are up from our initial assessment of $20 million prior to the closing of the acquisition. We expect this figure to continue to evolve and grow as we learn more and we believe that most of the projected value capture opportunities can be achieved within three years.

Overall, I am pleased with the forward progress of all of our businesses and what has been achieved in the first quarter. We feel good about the momentum we have across the board and the outlook for the balance of this year and the years ahead.”

APi Co-Chair James E. Lillie added: “We have had a solid start to the year and the integration of Chubb is on track and the business is performing in line with our expectations. Our belief when acquiring Chubb was that the acquisition would not only position APi well for continued success and improve the protective moat surrounding the business, but that it would also create significant upside for shareholders and employees. We believe the combined business will offer customers more customized and proprietary offerings through our uniquely trained technicians and engineers. In addition, we believe that our scale will drive synergies and savings that can be redeployed back into the business to accelerate growth while enhancing margin expansion. We look forward to providing more color on our strategic activities related to the acquisition of Chubb later in the year.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-U.S. GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release and the additional financial information both in explaining its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The Company’s management believes that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (b) permit investors to compare the Company with its peers and (c) determine certain elements of management’s incentive compensation. Specifically:

	•		The Company’s management believes that adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, the impact and results of businesses classified as assets held-for-sale and businesses divested, and one-time and other events such as impairment charges, share-based compensation, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, amortization of intangible assets, net COVID-19 relief, non-service pension benefit, severance related costs related to corporate leadership changes and certain tax benefits from the acquisition of APi Group, Inc. (the “APi Acquisition”) are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations.
	•		The Company also presents organic changes in net revenues on a consolidated basis or segment specific basis to provide a more complete understanding of underlying revenue trends by providing net revenues on a consistent basis as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, completed divestitures, and changes in foreign currency from year-over-year comparisons on reported net revenues, calculated as the difference between the reported net revenues for the current period and reported net revenues for the current period converted at the prior year average monthly exchange rates (excluding acquisitions and divestitures). The remainder is divided by the prior year net revenues, excluding the impacts of material acquisitions and completed divestitures.

	•		Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is the measure of profitability used by management to manage its segments and, accordingly, in its segment reporting. The Company supplements the reporting of its consolidated financial information with certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items (“adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. The Company uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated in a manner consistent with segment EBITDA, which is a measure of segment profitability.
	•		The Company presents free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion, which are liquidity measures used by management as factors in determining the amount of cash that is available for working capital needs or other uses of cash, however, it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus or minus events including, but not limited to, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, impacts of businesses classified as assets held-for-sale and businesses divested, and one-time and other events such as COVID-19 related payroll tax deferral and relief items. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA.

While the Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is included later in this press release.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2022, the Company has combined its Industrial Services and Specialty Services segments into one operating segment. Certain prior year amounts have been recast to conform to this presentation and the information in the tables below has been retroactively adjusted to reflect these changes in reporting segments.
