Integrated Facilities Management ("IFM")

For Q2 2023, IFM revenues were $76.5 million, an increase of 17% from Q2 2022 related to continued strong organic growth, and 11% lower than Q1 2023, due primarily to the seasonality of the education and leisure sectors where Q2 and Q3 are slower periods.

IFM Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $4.5 million compared to $4.0 million for Q2 2022 and $5.2 million for Q1 2023 due to the lower revenue and seasonality factors discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, excluding certain loss contracts with revenues of $3.8 million, continued to improve in Q2 2023 compared to prior periods and is tracking towards our near-term target of 7%. Contract price management and optimization of the IFM portfolio remains a focus to continue to improve margins.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, IFM revenues were $162.9 million, an increase of 26% and Adjusted EBITDA was 23% higher compared to the same period in the prior year.

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

Revenue from the WAFES business unit for Q2 2023 was $137.7 million, an increase of 16% compared to Q2 2022 and a 6% increase compared to Q1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2023 was $25.0 million compared to $16.3 million in Q2 2022 and $18.5 million in Q1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 18% in Q2 2023, which is higher than the 14% in both Q2 2022 and Q1 2023. The overall positive Q2 results in WAFES are the result of abnormally high service activity in support of unprecedented wildfires and robust market activity in workforce accommodations and energy services. This includes high camp occupancy and rental equipment activity levels, as well as a contract change order related to the recovery of inflationary costs on a major project. The non-recurring items increased Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $5 million in Q2 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, revenue was $267.3 million, an increase of 14%, and Adjusted EBITDA was 35% higher compared to the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA as percentage of revenue was 16%, compared to 14% in 2022 due to the factors noted above.

Modular Solutions

Modular Solutions revenues for Q2 2023 were $53.1 million an increase of 7% compared to Q2 2022 and a 2% increase compared to Q1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2023 was $2.0 million, which is an increase of $5.0 million when compared to a loss of $3.0 million in Q2 2022 and a $0.6 million increase compared to Q1 2023. The improvement in profitability is the result of the continued execution of the four-point business turnaround plan.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $105.2 million, an increase of 13% compared to the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3.4 million, an increase of $5.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Debt was $126.5 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $110.6 million at Q1 2023. The increase from Q1 2023 is primarily due to special access matting capital investments of $4.6 million as well as $8.3 million related to implementing revised payment practice for trade payables and for growth working capital.

The conversion of Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Free Cash Flow for 2023 is expected to be between 40% to 50%.
