Q3 2026 Results
(Third quarter 2026 compared to third quarter of 2025)

Sales increased 28.2% to $1,012.7 million, reflecting $206.0 million in contribution from 342 new locations that were not in operation for the full comparative quarter, along with 2.2% same-store sales¹. The number of selling and production days were unchanged from the third quarter of 2025.

Gross profit increased by 29.4% to $473.4 million, with gross margins expanding to 46.7% from 46.3%. Margin improvement was driven by higher paint margins supported by synergies from Joe Hudson's acquisition and Project 360, as well as improved sublet, scanning, and calibration margins. These gains were partially offset by lower labour and part margins.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 34.3% to $132.1 million while Adjusted EBITDA margins¹ improved to 13.0% from 12.4%. Margin expansion was driven by cost savings from Project 360 and synergy realization from Joe Hudson's acquisition.

Net earnings was $0.1 million, compared to $10.8 million due to $5.2 million in acquisition and transformational costs and higher amortization of intangibles. 

Adjusted net earnings¹ were $19.0 million compared to $17.8 million due to higher Adjusted EBITDA partially offset by higher depreciation and finance costs. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.68 compared to $0.83¹ in the third quarter. For the nine-months ended September 30 2026, Adjusted earnings per share increased to $2.06 from $1.85 in the prior-year period.

As of September 30, 2026, Boyd realized $50 million in year-to-date savings from Project 360 and acquisition synergies and remains on track to achieve its full-year target of $65 million.

The Company added 10 new locations through single shop acquisitions during the quarter. 

Outlook 

During the third quarter, Boyd continued to outperform the underlying industry volume and gain market share, supported by its scale and ongoing market densification strategy. Volume gains driven by the strength of the company's performance and insurer relationships contributed to positive same-store sales growth during the quarter of 2.2%, complemented by a modest increase in total cost of repair.

Boyd estimates repairable claims volumes declined approximately 1–3% year-over-year in Q3 2026, which is consistent with our long-term planning assumptions.

In October 2026, same-store sales growth continued to be positive. Given the inherent monthly and quarterly variability, the Company evaluates same-store sales over longer periods and does not view any single period as indicative of sustainable market share expansion or multi-year strategic targets.

Project 360 and acquisition synergies are on track to deliver a further $15 million in the fourth quarter, elevating total projected savings to $65 million for 2026 and $140 million across the 2025–2029 period. 

During the quarter, Boyd announced a normal course issuer bid and commenced share repurchases under the program. This initiative reflects our commitment to disciplined, returns-focused capital allocation. Boyd's objective is to ensure that capital is consistently directed toward high risk-adjusted return opportunities, whether through growth investments in strategic or single-shop acquisitions, brownfield and greenfield start-up locations, investments in existing operations, debt reduction, share repurchases, dividends or other alternatives.

The Company expects to complete and open 11 start-up locations in the fourth quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios

Same-store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, which are not standardized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers.  Boyd's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the performance of the business and to reward employees. These non-GAAP should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, such as net earnings or sales in measuring the performance of Boyd.

The following is a reconciliation of Boyd's non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this release:

SAME-STORE SALES

Same-store sales is a non-GAAP measure that includes only those locations in operation for the full comparative period. Same-store sales is presented excluding the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation on the current period.  

ADJUSTED EBITDA

EBITDA represents an indication of the Company's capacity to generate income from operations before taking into account management's financing decisions and costs of consuming tangible and intangible capital assets, which vary according to their vintage, technological age and management's estimates of their useful life. EBITDA comprises sales less operating expenses before finance costs, capital asset amortization and impairment charges, and income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated to exclude items of an unusual nature that do not reflect normal or ongoing operations of BGSI and which should not be considered in a valuation metric or should not be included in an assessment of the ability to service or incur debt. Included as an adjustment to EBITDA are acquisition and transformational cost initiative expenses and fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and financial instruments which do not have a cash impact. These adjustments do not relate to the current operating performance of the business units but are typically costs incurred to expand operations as well as execute transformational plans. Acquisition and transformational costs include transaction costs in acquiring and integrating a business acquisition and other non-recurring costs related to the execution of Project 360. From time to time BGSI may make other adjustments to its Adjusted EBITDA for items that are not expected to recur. Management believes that in addition to net earnings and cash flows, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to readers to provide an indication of earnings from operations and cash available for distribution, both before and after debt management , productive capacity maintenance and non-recurring and other adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is a measure of operating profit that can be used to assess Boyd's operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total sales.

ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS

Adjusted net earnings means net earnings adjusted to add back fair value adjustments (non-taxable) and acquisition and transformational cost initiatives (net of tax). Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2025, and on a go-forward basis, the calculation of Adjusted net earnings also excludes amortization of intangibles arising on acquisitions. Amortization of intangible assets arising on acquisition is the result of the purchase price allocation on completion of an acquisition. There are no future capital expenditures associated with maintaining or replacing these intangible assets. Comparative periods have been restated to reflect this additional adjustment. BGSI believes that certain users of financial statements are interested in understanding net earnings excluding certain fair value adjustments and other items of an unusual or infrequent nature that do not reflect normal or ongoing operations of the Company.  This can assist these users in comparing current results to historical results that did not include such items.

Adjusted net earnings per share means Adjusted net earnings, divided by our weighted average number of shares for the applicable period.
