For the first quarter of 2025:

Revenue reached $616 million, a decrease of $28 million, or 4%, over the first quarter of 2024 mainly attributable to an organic decline of 7%, partially offset by growth from foreign currency translation.
Adjusted EBITDA^* amounted to $34 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA* margin of 6% compared to $28 million and 4% in Q1 2024.
Net income was $6 million or $0.26 per share compared to $0.4 million or $0.02 per share in Q1 2024.
Long-term debt, net of cash* decreased by $14 million in the quarter.
Net operating working capital* reduction of $9 million in the quarter.

For the first quarters of 2025 and 2024, the business segments performed as follows:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	Business Services Canada		Business Services USA		Technical Services⁽¹⁾		Corporate and Other⁽¹⁾		Consolidated
(in millions of Canadian dollars)	2025	2024	2025	2024	2025	2024	2025	2024	2025	2024
Revenue	147	145	217	225	246	260	6	14	616	644
Organic Growth (Decline)	1 %	3 %	(15 %)	10 %	(5 %)	(1 %)	0 %	0 %	(7 %)	3 %
Adjusted EBITDA^{* (2)}	11	10	15	14	12	6	(4)	(2)	34	28
Adjusted EBITDA Margin^*	7 %	7 %	7 %	6 %	5 %	2 %	N/A	N/A	6 %	4 %

Note:

The 2024 results were recast to reflect i) the transfer of the Integrated Facility Services business from Corporate and Other to Technical Services since January 1, 2025 and ii) the allocation of corporate technology costs, moving some from the Corporate and Other segment to the operating Business Segments

In Q1 2025, GDI effected a change in the allocation of corporate technology costs, moving costs from the Corporate and Other segment to the operating Business Segments. This change was implemented to provide a more accurate view of segment profitability. Also, GDI has moved reporting for its IFS business unit from Corporate and Other to Technical Services as its was a more appropriate home for this business unit. Q1 2024 results have been recast to reflect this modification.

GDI's Business Services Canada segment recorded $147 million in revenue while generating $11 million in Adjusted EBITDA^*, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin^* of 7%. GDI's Business Services USA segment recorded revenue of $217 million and Adjusted EBITDA^* of $15 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin^* of 7%. Business Services USA experienced an organic revenue decline due to the loss of the segment's largest client at the end of Q1 2024 and from exiting of low margin contracts obtained in the Atalian acquisition, which was partially mitigated by new customers wins. In addition, revenue generated by one customer fluctuates based on the volume of recurring project work which was lower in the first quarter of 2025.

The Technical Services segment recorded revenue of $246 million and Adjusted EBITDA^* of $12 million, up by $6 million compared to Q1 2024, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin^* of 5% compared to 2% in Q1 2024, as the first quarter of 2024 was negatively affected by cost overruns on three large projects in its U.S operations.

GDI's Corporate and Other segment recorded revenue of $6 million and negative Adjusted EBITDA* of $4 million compared to $14 million and $2 million in Q1 2024, respectively. The decline in revenue is primarily attributable to business divestitures during Fiscal 2024.

"I am very pleased with the performance of all of our business segments in Q1 this year," stated Claude Bigras, President & CEO of GDI. "Each segment delivered profitability levels that were either in-line or above expectations which contributed to a 21% increase in Adjusted EBITDA over Q1 F2024 and a 6% consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin for GDI as a whole. Our Business Services Canada segment recorded its fifth straight quarter with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 7%, when adjusting last year's results for the IT cost reallocation, showing strong stability and maintaining its premium of 100 to 200 basis points above pre-COVID levels, which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. As we had already announced last quarter, our Business Services USA segment experienced an organic revenue decline stemming from the loss of GDI's largest client in Q1 F2024 and from exiting low contracts as we focused on margin improvement in the Atalian acquisition throughout F2024. The majority of this business has now been replaced, and we are expecting organic growth to progressively improve to historic levels by the end of this year. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the segment was 7% during the quarter, returning to more normalized levels as the work we had been engaged in to increase margins from the Atalian acquisition has now been successfully completed. Our Technical Services segment had an outstanding quarter. Our decision to focus on higher margin business at Ainsworth continues to bear fruit, with $12 million of EBITDA and a 5% Adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter. This was Ainsworth's highest Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q1 since our acquisition of the business in F2015 which has historically ranged between 2% to 4% in the first quarter. Given the margin improvement initiatives we successfully implemented, the outlook at Ainsworth is positive for the remainder of F2025."

"In addition to strong operating performance, GDI continued to deliver on our balance sheet initiatives during Q1 F2025. Our focus on working capital reduction resulted in a decrease of $9 million in the quarter. This puts us at a total net working capital reduction of $53 million since Q3 F2023 when we factor in M&A and FX impact, surpassing the $50 million dollar target that we announced at that time. We also decreased our long-term debt by $14 million in the quarter, which coupled with the increase in Adjusted EBITDA resulted in a decrease in our leverage ratio which now sits below our comfort range of 3x-3.5x."

"All of our business segments are performing well. Business Services Canada has been performing well with a very stable margin profile. Organic growth at our Business Services USA segment is expected to show progressive improvement through the year and rebound to more historic levels by Q4. Ainsworth will continue to focus on higher margin business, and the outlook is positive. Finally, we are actively evaluating a number of M&A opportunities and have a healthy balance sheet with sufficient capacity to execute on our growth strategies. I am looking forward to GDI delivering on our expectations for the remainder of F2025," concluded Mr. Bigras.

* The terms "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA Margin", Long-term debt, net of cash, and net operating working capital do not have standardized definitions prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards and therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, transaction, reorganization and other costs, share-based compensation and strategic information technology projects configuration and customization costs. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenues. For more details and for a reconciliation of that measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, consult the "Operating and Financial Results" section of the Company's Management Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A"). Long-term debt, net of cash, and net operating working capital details and calculation is descripted in the section "consolidated financial position" of the MD&A.
