Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for more information. The Company is not providing quantitative reconciliations of its financial outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to net income, or Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Cash flows provided by operating activities, the corresponding GAAP measures, because the respective GAAP measures that are excluded from the non-GAAP financial outlook are difficult to reliably predict or estimate without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties, such as items discussed below. Additionally, information that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable & potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.

Basic Earnings (Loss) per Share is determined by dividing Net Income (Loss) available to common shareholders by the Weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Net income (Loss) available to common shareholders is calculated as Net Income (Loss) less dividends declared on Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and Earnings allocated to Convertible Preferred Shares For the three months ended June 30, 2025, total revenue decreased 4.1% to $708.3 million driven by a $13.7 million decrease in our development services revenue due to timing delays in development projects, combined with a $13.3 million year over year decrease in our commercial landscaping business, primarily driven by a decline in commercial landscaping services. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, total revenue decreased 3.4% to $1,970.0 million driven by a $56.1M million decrease in our commercial landscaping business combined with a $10.5 million decrease in snow removal revenue, both of which were primarily driven by strategic reductions of non-core businesses and to a lesser extent a decline in commercial landscaping and snow in our core business. Fiscal 2025 Results – Segments Maintenance Services - Operating Highlights Three Months Ended June 30, Nine Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2025 2024 Change 2025 2024 Change Landscape Maintenance $ 502.9 $ 516.2 (2.6%) $ 1,200.2 $ 1,256.3 (4.5%) Snow Removal $ 5.9 $ 8.5 (30.6%) $ 210.7 $ 221.2 (4.7%) Total Revenue $ 508.8 $ 524.7 (3.0%) $ 1,410.9 $ 1,477.5 (4.5%) Adjusted EBITDA $ 81.7 $ 80.4 1.6% $ 172.7 $ 166.9 3.5% Adjusted EBITDA Margin 16.1 % 15.3 % 80 bps 12.2 % 11.3 % 90 bps Capital Expenditures $ 98.3 $ 16.8 485.1% $ 171.3 $ 34.7 393.7% For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, revenue in the Maintenance Services Segment decreased by $15.9 million, or 3.0%, from the 2024 period. Commercial Landscaping services decreased by $13.3 million, or 2.6% and snow removal services decreased by $2.6 million or 30.6%. The decrease in commercial landscaping was underpinned by a decline in a combination of contract services and ancillary services. Adjusted EBITDA for the Maintenance Services Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $1.3 million to $81.7 million from $80.4 million in the 2024 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 80 basis points, to 16.1%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 15.3% in the 2024 period. The increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin was primarily driven by cost management initiatives, which included reduced vehicle and equipment related costs, and personnel related costs. These savings offset the decrease in revenues described above. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, Maintenance Services net service revenues decreased by $66.6 million, or 4.5%, from the 2024 period. Commercial Landscaping services decreased by $56.1 million, or 4.5% and snow removal services decreased by $10.5 million, or 4.7%. The decrease was primarily driven by strategic reductions of non-core businesses and to a lesser extent a decline in commercial landscaping in our core business.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 90 basis points, to 12.2%, in the nine months ended June 30, 2025, from 11.3% in the 2024 period. The increase in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was primarily driven by lower personnel related costs, and vehicle and equipment related costs a result of the Company's cost management initiatives. These savings more than offset the decrease in revenues described above. Development Services - Operating Highlights Three Months Ended June 30, Nine Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2025 2024 Change 2025 2024 Change Revenue $ 201.3 $ 215.0 (6.4%) $ 565.0 $ 564.8 0.0% Adjusted EBITDA $ 31.5 $ 27.5 14.5% $ 66.1 $ 52.6 25.7% Adjusted EBITDA Margin 15.6 % 12.8 % 280 bps 11.7 % 9.3 % 240 bps Capital Expenditures $ 5.2 $ 6.4 (18.8%) $ 24.5 $ 11.3 116.8% For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, revenue in the Development Services Segment decreased by $13.7 million, or 6.4%, compared to the 2024 period. The decrease was driven by timing delays in Development Services projects. Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $4.0 million, to $31.5 million, compared to the 2024 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 280 basis points, to 15.6% for the quarter from 12.8% in the 2024 period. The increases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were primarily driven by reductions in overhead costs due to the Company's cost management initiatives combined with the timing and mix of projects in the period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, revenue in the Development Services Segment increased $0.2 million, or 0.0%, compared to the 2024 period. The results were driven by increased Development Services project volumes in the first half of fiscal 2025, which were offset by delays in the timing of projects during the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the Development Services Segment for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, increased $13.5 million, to $66.1 million, compared to the 2024 period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 240 basis points, to 11.7% for the period from 9.3% in the 2024 period. The increases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin were primarily driven by reductions in overhead costs due to the Company's cost management initiatives, combined with the timing and mix of projects in the period. Total BrightView Cash Flow Metrics Nine Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2025 2024 Change Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities $ 207.4 $ 152.1 36.4% Adjusted Free Cash Flow $ 25.8 $ 120.2 (78.5%) Capital Expenditures $ 195.8 $ 46.0 325.7% Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, increased $55.3 million, to $207.4 million, from $152.1 million in the 2024 period. This increase was due to a decrease in net income, more than offset by increases in non-cash adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities, combined with an increase in cash provided by accounts receivable. This was partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by other operating assets. Adjusted Free Cash Flow decreased $94.4 million to $25.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, from $120.2 million in the prior year. The decrease in Adjusted Free Cash Flow was due to an increase in cash used for capital expenditures, partially offset by an increase in net cash provided by operating activities. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, capital expenditures were $195.8 million, compared with $46.0 million in the prior year. The Company also generated proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $14.2 million and $14.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, net capital expenditures represented 9.2% of revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 1.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the Company's financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and aid understanding of the Company's business performance, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA Margin", "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)", "Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share", "Adjusted Free Cash Flow", "Total Financial Debt", "Total Net Financial Debt" and "Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio". We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio assist investors in comparing our results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. Management regularly uses these measures as tools in evaluating our operating performance, financial performance and liquidity. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to supplement comparable GAAP measures in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to establish discretionary annual incentive compensation and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio are frequently used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio when reporting their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and financial results and liquidity. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin: We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA, defined above, divided by Net Service Revenues. Adjusted Net Income (Loss): We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) including interest and depreciation, and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions and the removal of the discrete tax items. Adjusted Earnings per Share: We define Adjusted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the (i) weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus (ii) shares of common stock related to the Series A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis, assumed to be converted for the entire period. The addition of shares of common stock related to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis reflects the dilutive impact of the potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and is expected to provide comparability in future periods. Adjusted Free Cash Flow: We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Total Financial Debt: We define Total Financial Debt as total long-term debt, net of original issue discount, and finance lease obligations. Total Net Financial Debt: We define Total Net Financial Debt as Total Financial Debt minus total cash and cash equivalents. Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio: We define Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio as Total Net Financial Debt divided by the trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Total Financial Debt, Total Net Financial Debt, and Total Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or the ratio of net income (loss) to net revenue as a measure of financial performance, cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be a measure of Adjusted Free Cash Flow available for management's discretionary use as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The presentations of these measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Claire's files second bankruptcy petition in 7 years
Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Officials for retailer Claire's filed for bankruptcy protection on Wednesday as its operating costs rise while demand for its goods declines among its youthful customers. A combination of tariffs on the mostly Chinese-produced goods sold by Claire's and inflation has cooled demand among its mostly youthful customers, according to NPR. So has its distribution system of brick-and-mortar storefronts inside malls at a time when its traditionally youthful shoppers prefer buying goods online. Illinois-based Claire's has a $500 million loan due for payment next year, but its declining revenues and profits endanger its stores in the United States and Canada. "Increased competition, consumer spending trends and the ongoing shift away from brick-and-mortar retail, in combination with our current debt obligations and macroeconomic factors, necessitate this course of action for Claire's and its stakeholders," Claire's Chief Executive Officer Chris Cramer said in a prepared statement. Claire's counterpart in Canada likely will file for bankruptcy protection there, but the retailer's North American stores will remain open. "We remain in active discussions with potential strategic and financial partners and are committed to completing our review of strategic alternatives," Cramer said. Claire's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Delaware. The retailer is noted for its low-cost fashion accessories, jewelry and piercing services. In 2018, the company filed for bankruptcy protection. Elliott Management Corp. and Monarch Alternative Capital now control Claire's, which wiped out $1.9 billion in debt and kept its retail outlets open after securing a $575 million loan, according to CNBC. The retailer cited between $1 billion and $10 billion in assets and liabilities alike in Wednesday's bankruptcy filing. Tariffs on Chinese-made goods could affect Claire's supply chain, and increased competition from ear-piercing service providers is affecting Claire's business among its younger customers. "Competition has ... become sharper and more intense over recent years," GlobalData managing director Neil Saunders recently said. "Retailers like Lovisa [are] offering younger shoppers a more sophisticated assortment at value prices," Saunders said. "This is more attuned to what younger consumers want and has left Claire's looking somewhat out of step with modern demand," he added. Amazon and other online retailers also are negatively affecting Claire's business model, according to Saunders. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

CareTrust REIT Announces Second Quarter 2025 Operating Results
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NYSE:CTRE) today reported operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as well as other recent events. For the quarter, CareTrust REIT reported: Investments of $1.1 billion at an estimated stabilized yield of 8.4%, including the acquisition of Care REIT plc; Upsized the credit facility to include a $500 million, 5-year term loan; 12.1 million shares sold under its ATM Program for gross proceeds of $353.9 million; Investment grade rating by Fitch; 99.7% of contractual rent and interest collected; Net income of $68.5 million and net income per share of $0.35; Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA of 2.0x; Normalized FFO of $83.1 million and normalized FFO per share of $0.43; Normalized FAD of $83.1 million and normalized FAD per share of $0.43; and A quarterly dividend of $0.335 per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 78% on normalized FAD. Since quarter end, CareTrust REIT reports: Closing of investments totaling approximately $29.4 million at an estimated stabilized yield of 9%; Pay off of the secured notes payable and secured revolving credit facilities assumed in the Care REIT acquisition; Cash on hand of approximately $65 million; and Investment pipeline of approximately $600 million. CareTrust's President and Chief Executive Officer, Dave Sedgwick, commented, 'Over the last 18 months we have invested more than the prior eight years combined, deploying roughly $2.7 billion of capital into growth opportunities. In May, we closed on the strategic acquisition of Care REIT that marked our entry into the UK care home market. Determined to maintain momentum in the wake of that transaction, we invested an additional $220 million in the second quarter and since, bringing our total investments year-to-date to approximately $1.2 billion. These investments have broadened our operator bench and diversified our asset mix, payor base and geographic reach -- all while we maintained low leverage, improved our credit capacity to support future expansion and reloaded our pipeline.' Mr. Sedgwick continued, 'To ensure the flywheel continues to rip, we have invested throughout the organization by selectively adding talent in tax, finance, investments and asset management, integrating a team of London-based professionals, and deepening operator relationships. All of these moves together are not only producing meaningful FFO per share growth but are also setting the table for strong performance for years to come.' Financial Results for Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 Chief Financial Officer, Bill Wagner, reported that, for the second quarter, CareTrust reported net income of $68.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted weighted-average common share, normalized FFO of $83.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted weighted-average common share, and normalized FAD of $83.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted weighted-average common share. Liquidity As of quarter end, CareTrust reported net debt-to-annualized normalized run rate EBITDA of 2.0x, which is below the Company's target leverage range of 4.0x to 5.0x, and a net debt-to-enterprise value of approximately 12.3%. Mr. Wagner stated that, as of today, the Company has $65.0 million in borrowings outstanding on its $1.2 billion revolving credit line, with no scheduled debt maturities prior to 2028. He also disclosed that CareTrust currently has approximately $65 million in cash on hand. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company sold 12.1 million shares under its ATM Program at a weighted average sales price of $29.36 per share for gross proceeds of $353.9 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $380.1 million available for future issuances under the ATM Program. 'We have plenty of available capital under both our ATM Program and revolving credit line which will allow us to fund a replenishing pipeline of accretive investment opportunities,' said Mr. Wagner. Increased Guidance The Company increased guidance for 2025, with Mr. Wagner projecting on a per-diluted weighted-average common share basis net income of approximately $1.43 to $1.45, normalized FFO of approximately $1.77 to $1.79, and normalized FAD of approximately $1.77 to $1.79. He noted that the 2025 guidance is based on a diluted weighted-average common share count of 195.3 million shares, and assumes the following: All investments year-to-date; No new investments; Dispositions made to date; Loan repayments made to date; No new dispositions; No new debt incurrences or new equity issuances; and Estimated 2.5% CPI-based rent escalators under CareTrust's long-term net leases. Dividend Maintained During the quarter, CareTrust declared a quarterly dividend of $0.335 per common share. On an annualized basis, the payout ratio was approximately 78% based on second quarter 2025 normalized FFO, and 78% based on second quarter 2025 normalized FAD.

Funds from Operations ('FFO'), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ('Nareit'), and Funds Available for Distribution ('FAD') are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined by Nareit as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from dispositions of real estate investments, real estate related depreciation and amortization and real estate impairment charges, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Noncontrolling interests' pro rata share information is prepared by applying noncontrolling interests' actual ownership percentage for the period and is intended to reflect noncontrolling interests' proportionate economic interest in the financial position and operating results of properties in our portfolio. The Company computes FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. in accordance with Nareit's definition. FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. is defined as FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. excluding noncash income and expenses, such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, amortization of above and below market intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, the effects of straight-line rent, adjustments for the share of consolidated joint ventures and non-cash interest income. The Company considers FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. to be a useful supplemental measure to evaluate the Company's operating results excluding these income and expense items to help investors, analysts and other interested parties compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other companies on a more consistent basis. In addition, the Company reports Normalized FFO attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. and Normalized FAD attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., which adjust FFO and FAD for certain revenue and expense items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its ongoing operating results, such as write-off of deferred financing costs, provision for loan losses, non-routine transaction costs, provision for doubtful accounts and lease restructuring, loss on extinguishment of debt, extraordinary incentive plan payment, unrealized gains or losses on other real estate related investments, gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, recovery of previously reversed rent, lease termination revenue and property operating expenses. By excluding these items, investors, analysts and our management can compare Normalized FFO and Normalized FAD between periods more consistently. While FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD are relevant and widely-used measures of operating performance among REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating the Company's liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund future cash requirements. Further, the Company's computation of FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD may not be comparable to FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition or define FAD differently than the Company does. The Company also discloses Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA, which compares the Company's Net Debt as of the last day of the quarter to the Annualized Run Rate EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. for the quarter. Net Debt is defined as the Company's Total Debt as of the last day of the specified quarter adjusted to exclude the Company's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrow deposits on acquisition of real estate as of such date as well as the net proceeds from the expected settlement of shares sold under equity forward contracts through the Company's ATM Program that are outstanding as of such date. Normalized Run Rate EBITDA represents Normalized EBITDA, adjusted to give effect to the investments completed during the three months ended for the respective period as though such investments were completed as of the beginning of the period. Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA is calculated as Normalized Run Rate EBITDA attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc. for the specified quarter multiplied by four. The Company believes that net income attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The Company also believes that the use of EBITDA, Normalized EBITDA, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. The Company considers EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, in each case attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., useful in understanding the Company's operating results independent of its capital structure, indebtedness and other charges that are not indicative of its ongoing results, thereby allowing for a more meaningful comparison of operating performance between periods and against other REITs. The Company considers FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD, in each case attributable to CareTrust REIT, Inc., to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, impairment charges and real estate related depreciation and amortization, and, for FAD and Normalized FAD, by excluding noncash income and expenses such as amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing fees, and the effects of straight-line rent, FFO, Normalized FFO, FAD and Normalized FAD can help investors compare the Company's operating performance between periods and to other REITs. The Company believes that the disclosure of Net Debt to Annualized Normalized Run Rate EBITDA provides a useful measure to investors to evaluate the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations and to compare the Company's credit strength to prior reporting periods and to other companies without the effect of charges that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing performance or that could obscure the Company's actual credit quality and after considering the effect of investments occurring during the period.
