NEW BRIGHTON, Minn., February 26, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--APi Group Corporation (NYSE: APG) ("APi" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Russ Becker, APi’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "Our record results in 2024 once again demonstrate the strength of our recurring revenue, services-focused business model and the ongoing execution of our strategy by our teammates. We begin 2025 with positive momentum and the demand for the services we offer is strong across our global platform. We remain relentlessly focused on growing inspection, service and monitoring revenue. That, combined with the accelerating growth in our backlog, provides a solid foundation for returning to traditional rates of organic growth in 2025 while continuing to expand our margins. We ended 2024 with a net leverage ratio of approximately 2.2x, comfortably below our net leverage target of 2.5x, driven by a 20%+ increase in adjusted free cash flow with conversion for the year in line with our increased target of 75%. Our balance sheet is strong, which gives us significant flexibility to pursue value enhancing capital allocation alternatives in 2025. We remain focused on creating sustainable shareholder value by delivering on our long-term financial targets, with a near-term focus on adjusted EBITDA margin of 13% or more this year. As a reminder, we will be hosting an investor day on May 21 in New York for professional investors, where we will be detailing new, meaningfully higher long-term financial targets and updates to our strategic plan."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Reported net revenues increased by 5.8% (1.3% organic) driven by acquisitions, strong growth in inspection, service, and monitoring revenues, and pricing improvements in the Safety Services segment, partially offset by divestitures and project delays primarily in the HVAC business and Specialty Services segment.
  • Reported and adjusted gross margin increased 200 and 100 basis points, respectively, compared to prior year period driven by planned disciplined customer and project selection, pricing improvements, and value capture initiatives in our Safety Services segment.

Adjusted net income was $143 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.51, representing a 15.9% increase compared to prior year period.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased by 16.3% (16.7% on a fixed currency basis) compared to prior year period and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 120 basis points to a fourth quarter record of 13.0%, primarily driven by the increase in adjusted gross margin, partially offset by lower fixed cost absorption in the Specialty Services segment.

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, (c) in case of adjusted EBITDA, determines certain elements of management’s incentive compensation, and (d) provide consistent period-to-period comparisons of the results. 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, restructuring costs, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, amortization of intangible assets, and non-service pension cost or benefit are useful because they provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations.
  • The Company supplements the reporting of its consolidated financial information with certain financial measures including adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items, and including corporate costs and eliminations. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues. The Company also supplements its reporting with segment earnings, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items, is the measure of profitability used by management to manage its segments and, accordingly, in its segment reporting. Segment earnings margin is calculated as segment earnings divided by net revenues. The Company believes these measures provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company’s financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA and segment earnings to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results.
  • The Company discloses fixed currency net revenues and adjusted EBITDA ("FFX") on a consolidated basis and segment earnings on a segment specific basis to provide a more complete understanding of underlying revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and segment earnings trends by providing net revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and segment earnings on a consistent basis. Under U.S. GAAP, income statement results are translated in U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates for the period presented. Management believes that the fixed currency non-GAAP measures are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company’s operational performance, as it excludes the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international results. Fixed currency amounts included in this release are based on translation into U.S. dollars at the fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2024.
  • 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 fixed foreign currency exchange rates (excluding material acquisitions and divestitures). The remainder is divided by prior year fixed currency net revenues, excluding the impacts of completed divestitures.
  • 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, payments on acquired liabilities, payments made for restructuring programs, impacts of businesses classified as assets held-for-sale and businesses divested, one-time and other events such as post-measurement period purchase accounting adjustments for acquisitions and public offerings, and 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.
  • The Company calculates its leverage ratio in accordance with its debt agreements which include different adjustments to EBITDA from those included in the adjusted EBITDA numbers reported externally.

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.

The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP adjusted EBITDA and growth in organic net revenues to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for acquisitions and divestitures, business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, one-time and other events such as impairment charges, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets, and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

Notes:

(a)

Represents the effect of foreign currency on reported net revenues, calculated as the difference between reported net revenues and net revenues at fixed currencies for both periods. Fixed currency amounts are based on translation into U.S. Dollars at fixed foreign currency exchange rates established by management at the beginning of 2024.

(b)

Amount represents the year-over-year change when comparing both years after eliminating the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by translating foreign currency denominated results at fixed foreign currency ("FFX") rates for both periods.

(c)

Adjustment to exclude net revenues from material acquisitions from their respective dates of acquisition until the first year anniversary from date of acquisition and net revenues from divestitures for all periods for businesses divested as of December 31, 2024.

(d)

Organic change in net revenues provides a consistent basis for a year-over-year comparison in net revenues as it excludes the impacts of material acquisitions, divestitures, and the impact of changes due to foreign currency translation.

(j)

Adjustment to add the dilutive impact of options and RSUs which were anti-dilutive and excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding (as reported).

(k)

Adjustment for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 reflects the addition of the dilutive impact of 4 million shares associated with the deemed conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. The adjustment for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 is partially offset by the elimination of 2 million and 1 million shares, respectively, reflecting the dilutive effect of the Preferred Share dividend as the dividend is contingent upon the share price the last ten days of the calendar year and was not earned as of December 31, 2024.

(l)

Adjustment for the weighted average impact of the Series B Preferred Stock that were convertible into approximately 33 million common shares and were outstanding for two months of the year. On February 28, 2024, all Series B Preferred Stock was converted to common stock and there is no longer any dilutive impact from the Series B Preferred Stock.
