2020 Guidance
The Company announced it is establishing guidance for 2020 and believes that adjusted net revenues for the year will range between $3.4 to $3.5 billion, adjusted EBITDA will range between $345 to $355 million, and adjusted EPS will range between $0.94 to $1.00 based on an adjusted fully diluted share count of 174 million. The Company intends to modify its outlook on a regular basis as it moves through the balance of the year and gauges the on-going impact of COVID-19.
Russ Becker, APi’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “I am very pleased with our results. Our ability to execute amidst COVID-19 related disruptions is a testament to the strength and resiliency of our employees, the benefits of a geographically diverse business model within the U.S. and Canada, our emphasis on growing recurring revenue with well-capitalized customers across a variety of end markets, and the relative variability of our cost structure to allow us to quickly flex with the changing market. We believe that our relentless focus on service and inspection helps build a more protective moat around the business. In the middle of a challenging environment, despite an expected decline in net revenues across our three segments as a result of COVID-19, our proactive approach to managing risk across our platform and the strength of our recurring revenue services-focused business model yielded results.”
“The resiliency, sacrifices and commitment shown by our approximately 15,000 team members has been inspiring. I thank them for their focus and on-going leadership efforts during these unprecedented times. As evidenced by the recent surge in cases, the pandemic is far from over. However, we remain confident in our ability to continue to execute on our long-term goals for the business.”
APi Co-Chair James E. Lillie added, “As we look to the future, we believe the company continues to be well positioned to execute on our long-term goals. We believe that our early expense reduction actions, strong cash flow generation, conservative balance sheet and liquidity profile provide us with a stable foundation to continue to navigate the uncertain economic climate. Russ and the entire team have not taken their eyes off the ball. They have been preemptive and proactive in addressing the challenges and volatility in the COVID-19 impacted market. Together with Russ, we remain focused on capitalizing on opportunities in front of us. We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on the current environment and take advantage of strategic opportunities.”
