SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (the “Company” or “SiteOne”)
(NYSE: SITE) announced earnings for its third quarter ended
September 29, 2024 (“Third Quarter 2024”).
“During the quarter we continued to face market headwinds with
3% price deflation and a softer repair and remodel market. Given
these, we were pleased to achieve 2% Organic Daily Sales volume
growth to partially offset the price decline,” said Doug Black,
SiteOne’s Chairman and CEO. “Overall, our teams are executing our
strategy, outperforming the market with organic sales volume
growth, and pushing forward on our commercial and operational
initiatives to yield organic growth and adjusted EBITDA margin
expansion in 2025 and beyond. With a clear leadership position in
wholesale landscape distribution, strong teams, a robust
acquisition pipeline, and a winning strategy to create value for
our stakeholders, we are confident in our ability to perform and
grow in the years to come.”
Third Quarter 2024 Results
Net sales for the Third Quarter 2024 increased to $1.21 billion,
or 6%, compared to $1.15 billion for the prior-year period. Organic
Daily Sales decreased 1% compared to the prior-year period due to
price deflation for commodity products more than offsetting
positive volume growth. Acquisitions contributed $77.3 million, or
7%, to Net sales growth for the quarter.
Gross profit increased 6% to $411.0 million for the Third
Quarter 2024 compared to $388.1 million for the prior-year period.
Gross margin improved 10 basis points to 34.0% reflecting the
positive impact from acquisitions, partially offset by lower price
realization in the Base Business compared to the prior year
period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for
the Third Quarter 2024 increased to $349.1 million from $311.8
million for the prior-year period. SG&A as a percentage of Net
sales increased 170 basis points to 28.9% primarily due to the
impact of acquisitions. SG&A for the Base Business increased 1%
for the Third Quarter 2024 compared to the prior year period.
Net income attributable to SiteOne for the Third Quarter 2024
was $44.4 million, compared to $57.3 million for the same period in
the prior year reflecting the Organic Daily Sales decline and lower
gross margin in the Base Business.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the Third Quarter 2024 decreased to $114.8
million, or 4%, compared to $119.8 million for the prior-year
period. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 100 basis points to
9.5%.
Operating cash flow for the Third Quarter 2024 increased to
$115.9 million compared to $88.7 million in the prior-year period
primarily reflecting seasonal timing differences in working
capital.
Net debt, calculated as long-term debt (net of issuance costs
and discounts) plus finance leases, net of cash and cash
equivalents on our balance sheet as of September 29, 2024, was
$449.3 million compared to $446.0 million as of October 1, 2023.
Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months was 1.2
times compared to 1.1 times during the prior year period.
On July 2, 2024, we refinanced our term loan, extending the
maturity by two years to March 2030 and reducing the interest rate
by 25 basis points to Term SOFR plus 175 basis points. The term
loan was also increased by $25.0 million to $392.7 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA includes contribution from non-controlling
interest of $0.8 million for the Third Quarter 2024.
Outlook
“Our maintenance and new construction markets remain resilient,
but we continue to experience soft demand driven primarily by a
weaker repair and remodel end market. In addition, we estimate that
hurricanes Helene and Milton have negatively impacted Net sales by
approximately $15 million ($8 million in the fourth quarter). The
pricing environment continues to be challenging and will have a
negative impact on both our sales growth and gross margin. Against
these headwinds, our teams are executing our commercial and
operational initiatives well, and we expect to continue
outperforming the market with a low single digit Organic Daily
Sales decline for the remainder of the year,” Doug Black continued.
“We are managing our SG&A tightly and making the necessary
changes to optimize our cost structure for the long run. As a part
of these efforts, we plan to consolidate or close 16 branches in
the fourth quarter, resulting in an expected one-time charge to
adjusted EBITDA of approximately $5 million.”
Taken all together, for Fiscal 2024, we now expect our Adjusted
EBITDA to be in the range of $370 million to $380 million, which
includes the $5 million one-time charge. Our guidance does not
include any contributions from unannounced acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release includes certain financial information, not
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies
calculate non-GAAP financial information identically (or at all),
the presentations herein may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures used by other companies. Further, these measures
should not be considered substitutes for the information contained
in the historical financial information of the Company prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP that is set forth herein.
We present Adjusted EBITDA in order to evaluate the operating
performance and efficiency of our business. Adjusted EBITDA
represents EBITDA as further adjusted for items permitted under the
covenants of our credit facilities. EBITDA represents Net income
(loss) plus the sum of income tax (benefit) expense, interest
expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for
stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets and
termination of finance leases not in the ordinary course of
business, financing fees, as well as other fees and expenses
related to acquisitions, and other non-recurring (income) loss.
Adjusted EBITDA includes Adjusted EBITDA attributable to
non-controlling interest. Adjusted EBITDA does not include
pre-acquisition acquired Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a
measure of our liquidity or financial performance under U.S. GAAP
and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income,
operating income or any other performance measures derived in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from
operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of
Adjusted EBITDA instead of Net income has limitations as an
analytical tool. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies,
limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Net debt is
defined as long-term debt (net of issuance costs and discounts)
plus finance leases, net of cash and cash-equivalents on our
balance sheet. Leverage Ratio is defined as Net debt to trailing
twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash
Flow from Operating Activities, less capital expenditures. Base
Business is defined as SiteOne operations excluding acquired
branches that have not been under our ownership for at least four
full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal year. We define
Organic Daily Sales as Organic Sales divided by the number of
Selling Days in the relevant reporting period. We define Organic
Sales as Net sales, including Net sales from newly-opened
greenfield branches, but excluding Net sales from acquired branches
until they have been under our ownership for at least four full
fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal year. Selling Days are
the number of business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays, that SiteOne branches are open during the relevant
reporting period.
