"As reported by industry sources, repairable claims continued to be down, declining 7% on a year over year basis. By contrast, our same-store sales experienced a decline of only 3.2%, demonstrating Boyd's ability to gain market share, even in a difficult environment. Under normal conditions, the decline in repairable appraisals due to ADAS and higher loss rates would be more than offset by increased miles driven and increased costs of repair. However, weather related factors, changes in consumer behavior due to economic uncertainty and higher insurance premiums, resulted in the deferral and non-filing of claims, which further negatively impacted repairable appraisals in the second quarter of 2024. The internalization of scanning and calibration services, progress in Boyd's repair first strategy and focus on the use of cost effective alternative parts, delivered strong value by lowering repair costs for the Company's customers, and consequently reduced sales that otherwise could have been achieved while benefiting the gross margin percentage.", said Timothy O'Day, Chief Executive Officer of the Boyd Group. "This resulted in a significant sequential improvement in gross margin percentage and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales, moving from 44.8% and 10.4% in the first quarter to 45.6% and 11.5% in the second quarter, respectively. During the second quarter of 2024, we recorded sales of $779.2 million , Adjusted EBITDA of $89.6 million and net earnings of $10.8 million ", added Mr. O'Day.

Outlook "We have a number of initiatives underway to ensure the business is well-positioned for long-term success.  During the second quarter, we made progress in improving gross margins and keeping costs down for our customers", continued Mr. O'Day.  "The continued claims softness has impacted demand for services thus far in the third quarter, which is resulting in similar same-store sales challenges as were experienced during the second quarter of 2024.  While claim volumes and demand for services are currently below prior year levels, Boyd's financial position is strong and the Company views these challenges as short term and remains highly confident in the underlying fundamentals of the business over the long term", said Mr. O'Day. "On a year-to-date basis, we have added or acquired 30 new locations. While this activity is running at a slower pace than was the case one year ago, opportunities and Boyd's commitment to growth remain. We have a robust pipeline of new location growth, including greenfield and brownfield development sites. While start-up sites experience a longer development cycle and ramp-up period when compared to single shop acquisitions, these facilities offer a number of advantages and as a result we plan to continue increasing the proportion of growth using this approach. Deploying this strategy allows Boyd to build density in existing markets and enter new high growth markets with a facility designed with an ideal flow that allows for coverage of all three lines of business, including accommodating Boyd's future needs as it relates to glass and calibration services. These facilities are also attractive from a customer and employee perspective.  Having the capability to grow through start-ups at a higher pace gives the Company optionality to invest at attractive returns." "Despite the recent same-store sales growth challenges, we remain confident that the Company is on track to achieve its long-term growth goals, including doubling the size of the business on a constant currency basis from 2021 to 2025 against 2019 sales." President and Chief Operating Officer Appointment Boyd also is pleased to announce the appointment of Brian Kaner as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. In his expanded role, Mr. Kaner will have operating responsibility for the entire company. Concurrent with this change, Tim O'Day will remain Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), however relinquish the "President" title, which he has held since 2017. Mr. Kaner, along with Boyd's Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Murray and Boyd's Executive Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer, Kim Morin , will continue to report to Mr. O'Day. "This change is being made to position Brian with company-wide operating oversight, responsibility and influence," said Mr. O'Day. "This, along with related changes that will be made in our operational management structure reporting to Brian, will support our go to market approach of providing high quality service to our clients for all of their collision, glass and calibration needs." Mr. Kaner joined Boyd in October 2022 as Chief Operating Officer for Boyd's Collision Operations. Mr. Kaner was previously CEO & President of Pep Boys & Icahn Automotive Services where he led all functional disciplines and field leadership teams overseeing 1,000 company owned and nearly 800 franchise locations. Before joining Icahn Enterprises L.P., Mr. Kaner worked for Sears Holdings Corporation as President of Sears Auto Centers. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Illinois State University .

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios Same-store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Boyd's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the performance of the business and to reward employees. These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and should not be considered an alternative to net earnings or sales in measuring the performance of BGSI. The following is a reconciliation of BGSI's non-GAAP financial measures and ratios: ADJUSTED EBITDA Standardized EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly reported and widely used by investors and lending institutions as an indicator of a company's operating performance and ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric. They are also key measures that management uses to evaluate performance of the business and to reward its employees.  While EBITDA is used to assist in evaluating the operating performance and debt servicing ability of BGSI, investors are cautioned that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as reported by BGSI may not be comparable in all instances to EBITDA as reported by other companies.
