FirstService Brands Completes Four Acquisitions

Acquires California Closets Las Vegas; Broadens Restoration Service Capabilities

TORONTO, April 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstService Corporation (TSX:FSV) (NASDAQ:FSV) (“FirstService”) today announced that it has expanded its FirstService Brands company-owned operations with four recent acquisitions within its California Closets and Paul Davis Restoration (“PDR”) service platforms. Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.

California Closets acquired its Las Vegas franchise earlier this year, adding a well-run operation with a strong team which is well-positioned to further capitalize on the fast-growing Las Vegas market. With this acquisition, California Closets now has 16 company-owned operations out of 80 overall locations.

FirstService Brands has also expanded its restoration services operations across the Eastern and Midwest regions of North America through three recent acquisitions. Two of these tuck-under transactions are PDR franchises, including the key Washington, D.C. territory and the leading operation in western Canada which provides a foundation for the launch of PDR’s Canadian company-owned strategy. With the addition of these two acquisitions, there are currently a total of seven PDR company-owned operations. The third non-PDR acquisition bolsters the Paul Davis operating platform by adding further expertise and service capabilities and addressing certain gaps in its geographic footprint. The three transactions will deliver aggregate annual revenues of approximately $35 million.

“These transactions collectively advance our company-owned growth strategies within our Brands division,” said Charlie Chase, CEO of FirstService Brands. “Each acquisition further broadens our presence in key growing markets and enhances our capabilities to better serve our clients,” he concluded.
