Henry M. Nahmad, EVI’s Chairman and CEO commented: “EVI is a long-term growth focused company. Just over four years ago, our business was comprised of one distributor with a single facility in Miami, Florida, $30 million in annual revenue, and 32 employees. Today, our operations include seventeen businesses operating from a total of 25 distribution locations in 14 states, with significantly higher revenue, and over 500 employees. We have allocated over $120 million of capital in connection with our growth strategy and have substantial capital for more growth. Meanwhile, the adverse conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic tested our financial principles, operating model, and entrepreneurial culture. One year later, while certain adverse conditions persist, our business principles continue to prove valuable, evidenced by our ability to simultaneously grow by buying quality businesses, build through sustained investment in our operations, and maintain financial strength all while managing through a challenging business environment.”
Acquisitions
During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company successfully continued the execution of its buy and build growth strategy by acquiring Eastern Laundry Systems, a New England based commercial laundry distributor and service provider, to amplify the Company’s efforts to build market share in the region following its acquisition of Yankee Equipment Systems, New England’s premier commercial laundry distributor and service provider, in November 2020. The acquisitions of Yankee and Eastern are the Company’s first acquisitions in New England and bring the Company’s total operations to seventeen businesses.
Mr. Nahmad commented: “We believe that these acquisitions during the COVID-19 pandemic are a testament to our sound financial principles and the continued attractiveness to successful business owners of our operating model, entrepreneurial culture, and long-term growth focus. Led by a dynamic team of commercial laundry professionals in the New England region and aligned with loyal suppliers, we are already building on Yankee’s longstanding success in the region.”
Balance Sheet Strength
On March 31, 2021, the Company had $19.8 million of net debt reflecting a $1.9 million increase from June 30, 2020 notwithstanding the deployment of a net $4.8 million of cash for the acquisitions of Yankee and Eastern Laundry Systems during the second and third fiscal quarters, respectively. The sustained strength of the Company’s balance sheet was driven by $5.5 million of operating cash flow during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021, notwithstanding that contract assets increased by approximately $9 million during the period, which the Company expects to collect on upon the completion of certain longer-term industrial laundry installation contracts.
Record Revenues
Despite the continued, though diminishing, adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including with respect to certain of the Company’s end user customers and supply chain disruptions, revenue for the fiscal third quarter was a record $62 million, reflecting a 6% increase over the same period of the prior fiscal year and an approximately 9% increase compared to the prior fiscal quarter. These results reflect, in the Company’s view, the favorable attributes of the commercial laundry industry and were driven by geographic expansion through acquisition, strong sales of industrial laundry products, continued growth in vended equipment sales, steady revenues from multifamily laundry contracts, and growth in parts sales and services, partially offset by lower sales of on-premise laundry products as conditions continue to vary by geography and by the speed of recovery of specific end-user customers in this product category.
Record Gross Profit and Increased Gross Margins
Gross margin during the third fiscal quarter and the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021 increased from 23% to 25% and 23% to 24%, respectively, in each case, compared to the period of prior fiscal year, resulting in record gross profit for the quarter and the nine-month period. Gross margin net of longer-term contracts for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2021 increased from 24% to 25% and from 24% to 26%, respectively, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Pursuit of Operational Optimization
While the Company continued to execute on its growth strategy, it also pursued the optimization of its business through an extensive modernization agenda under a thoughtful and measured approach that seeks to limit disruption and mitigate risks to the Company. To that end, the Company successfully implemented an advanced technology system across one of its five operating subsidiaries, which includes three of its seventeen businesses. Concurrent with that implementation, the Company also deployed certain field sales and service technologies aimed to quote, execute, and fulfill sales and services faster, more efficiently, and with improved customer service, and the Company continues to consolidate certain of its operating support functions.
Mr. Nahmad commented: “These are significant undertakings, and we are pleased thus far with the implementation processes and adoption of these new and advanced technologies. Given the success of these efforts, we commenced the implementation of these systems across two more of our five operating subsidiaries, representing an additional five of our seventeen businesses. To support these activities, we hired additional technology professionals, and we retained the services of various firms with the experience necessary to fulfill these and other technology objectives on timelines that we believe will facilitate the achievement of a greater level of operating performance. Considering these initiatives are ongoing and at different points across our operating subsidiaries, we expect to incrementally experience the benefits of our modernized and optimized operations in the months and quarters ahead.”
The Future
Since October of 2016, EVI has acquired sixteen commercial laundry businesses making it the fastest growing company in the North American commercial laundry distribution and service industry and the Company believes it is well-positioned for continued growth over the mid and long-term.
Mr. Nahmad commented: In a time when there is an increasing focus on environmental sustainability, including water and energy consumption, where hygiene standards are rising, where infection risk awareness has reached new levels, and where labor rates are increasing, we believe that our differentiated value proposition as the leader in designing and selling sustainable, efficient, effective, and technologically advanced laundry solutions supported by our robust installation and service network, positions us to capture this accelerating growth trend. Accordingly, we continue to pursue acquisition and other strategic opportunities in the commercial laundry industry and across those product and service categories that meet our financial and strategic criteria. Ultimately, we believe that the combination of our value proposition, which is derived from the investments being made to expand our distribution and service network, including the expansion of our product offerings, makes us the provider of choice for industrial, on premise, vended, and multifamily laundry customers and the most attractive partner for domestic and global companies seeking growth in the North American commercial laundry industry.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In this press release, EVI discloses the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which EVI defines as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of share-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and amortization of share-based compensation to net income, as shown in the attached statement of Condensed Consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Amortization of Share-based Compensation. EVI considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings, and the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method of analyzing EVI’s results as reported under GAAP. In addition, EVI’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
