SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q, including statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, results of operations, financial position, business outlook, business trends and other information, may be forward-looking statements.

 

Words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, or guarantees of future performance and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

 

There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, among others, the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s final prospectus dated June 27, 2018 (the “Prospectus”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 29, 2018 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act, and in this Form 10-Q, as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, and are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and also include the following:

 

 

general economic and financial conditions;

 

competitive industry pressures;

 

the failure to retain certain current customers, renew existing customer contracts and obtain new customer contracts;

 

a determination by customers to reduce their outsourcing or use of preferred vendors;

 

the dispersed nature of our operating structure;

 

our ability to implement our business strategies and achieve our growth objectives;

 

acquisition and integration risks;

 

the seasonal nature of our landscape maintenance services;

 

our dependence on weather conditions;

 

increases in prices for raw materials and fuel;

 

product shortages and the loss of key suppliers;

 

the conditions and periodic fluctuations of real estate markets, including residential and commercial construction;

 

our ability to retain our executive management and other key personnel;

 

our ability to attract and retain trained workers and third-party contractors and re-employ seasonal workers;

 

any failure to properly verify employment eligibility of our employees;

 

subcontractors taking actions that harm our business;

 

our recognition of future impairment charges;

 

laws and governmental regulations, including those relating to employees, wage and hour, immigration, human health and safety and transportation;

 

environmental, health and safety laws and regulations;

 

the impact of any adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings relating to our business operations;

 

increase in on-job accidents involving employees;

 

any failure, inadequacy, interruption, security failure or breach of our information technology systems;

 

any failure to protect the security of personal information about our customers, employees and third parties;

 

our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property;

 

occurrence of natural disasters, terrorist attacks or other external events;

 

our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our significant debt service obligations;

 

our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or other general corporate requirements;

 

restrictions imposed by our debt agreements that limit our flexibility in operating our business; and

ii


 

increases in interest rates increasing the cost of servicing our substantial indebtedness.

 

We caution you that the risks, uncertainties, and other factors referenced above may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits, or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected. All forward-looking statements in this prospectus apply only as of the date made and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

1.Business and Basis of Presentation

BrightView Holdings, Inc. (“BrightView” or the “Company”) provides landscape maintenance and enhancements, landscape development, snow removal and other landscape related services for commercial customers throughout the United States. BrightView is aligned into two reportable segments: Maintenance Services and Development Services. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of BrightView Parent L.P. (“Parent”), an affiliate of KKR & Co. Inc., (formerly KKR & Co. L.P., “KKR”). The Parent and Company were formed through a series of transactions entered into by KKR to acquire the Company on December 18, 2013 (“the Acquisition”).

On March 15, 2018, the Company changed its name from BrightView Acquisition Holdings, Inc. to BrightView Holdings, Inc.

On July 2, 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”).  See “Initial Public Offering” below.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, including normal, recurring accruals that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s operations for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP. All intercompany activity and balances have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, presented herein, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. For a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information refer to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2017 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s final prospectus dated June 27, 2018 (the “Prospectus”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 29, 2018 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, self-insurance reserves, estimates related to the Company’s assessment of goodwill for impairment, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, realizability of deferred tax assets, and litigation based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from estimates.

Initial Public Offering

On July 2, 2018, the Company completed the IPO in which the Company issued and sold 24,495 shares of common stock.  The shares sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-225277) (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the SEC on June 27, 2018. The shares of the Company’s common stock were sold at an initial offering price of $22.00 per share, which generated net proceeds of approximately $501,172 to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses of approximately $37,717 which included $5,497 paid to KKR Capital Markets LLC (“KCM”), an affiliate of KKR, for underwriting services in connection with the IPO. The Company used the net proceeds from the IPO to repay all $110,000 of the Company’s second lien term loans, all $55,000 outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and approximately $336,100 of the Company’s first lien term loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. These repayments resulted in an extinguishment of debt in the amount of approximately $501,100, which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company incurred $6,808 of transaction related expenses

6


 

during the nine months ended June 30, 2018, which are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, of which $5,370 was paid from the net proceeds generated by the IPO.  

BrightView was party to a Monitoring Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2013 (the “Monitoring Agreement”), with KKR and MSD Partners (“MSD” and together with KKR, the “Sponsors”), which was terminated on July 2, 2018 in accordance with its terms upon the completion of the IPO. In connection with such termination, the Company paid termination fees of approximately $7,598 and $3,438 to KKR and MSD, respectively. Affiliates of KKR and MSD retained 55.9% and 13.0% ownership interest, respectively, in the Company after the IPO.

The Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) became effective in connection with the completion of the IPO on July 2, 2018. The Charter, among other things, provides that the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 500,000 shares of common stock, and 50,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company’s bylaws were also amended and restated as of July 2, 2018.

Stock Split

In connection with preparing for the IPO, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2.33839-for-one reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split became effective June 8, 2018. The par value per share of common stock and authorized shares of common stock remain unchanged at $0.01 per share and 185 million shares, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented. All common share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been retrospectively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in aggregate par value of ‘‘Common stock’’ to ‘‘Additional paid-in-capital’’ on the consolidated balance sheets.

2.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was further updated in March and April 2016. The updated accounting guidance clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and provides a single, contract-based revenue recognition model in order to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The updated accounting guidance is effective for the Company as of October 1, 2018 and may be adopted using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Company has completed its comprehensive contract review project and has developed an understanding of the potential adoption impact to the consolidated financial statements on a qualitative basis. The Company is in the process of finalizing its accounting policies, drafting the new disclosures, quantifying the potential financial adjustment and completing its evaluation of the impact of the accounting and disclosure requirements on its business processes, controls and systems. The Company has also made progress on evaluating the impact the ASU may have related to the timing and presentation of various financial aspects of its contractual arrangements, including performance obligations, application of the series guidance, costs to fulfill and commissions. The Company plans to adopt using the modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial positions and cash flows, but expects the adoption of this standard will increase the amount of required disclosures provided by the Company.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability with the exception of short-term leases. For income statement purposes, the criteria for recognition, measurement and presentation of expense is largely similar to previous guidance, but without the requirement to use bright-line tests in the determination of lease classification. The updated accounting guidance for a lessor is largely unchanged from previous guidance but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The updated accounting guidance is effective for the Company as of October 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The updated accounting guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the updated accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This guidance requires that an entity recognizes the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other

7


 

than inventory when the transfer occurs. The guidance is effective for the Company as of October 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of ASU 2016-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This guidance provides the option to reclassify the stranded tax effects caused by the newly enacted US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The Company early adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2017, which impacted the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity only.

3.Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable of $343,565 and $330,173, is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $7,278 and $8,350 and includes amounts of retention on incomplete projects to be completed within one year of $37,432 and $39,678 at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

See Note 1 “Business and Basis of Presentation” for further details regarding the completion of the Company’s IPO in July 2018. The Company used the net proceeds from the IPO to repay all $110,000 of the Company’s second lien term loans, all $55,000 outstanding under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $336,100 of the Company’s first lien term loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The repayment resulted in an extinguishment of debt in the amount of approximately $501,100, which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018.

First Lien credit facility term loans due 2020

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company and a group of financial institutions entered into a credit agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) dated December 18, 2013. The First Lien Credit Agreement consists of seven-year $1,460,000 term loans (“First Lien Term Loans”) and a five-year $210,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). An original discount of $3,675 was incurred when the notes were issued and is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt resulting in an effective yield of 4.0%. All amounts outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The First Lien Term Loans contractual debt repayments totaled $10,950 through the nine months ended June 30, 2018.

In December 2017, the Company amended the First Lien Credit Agreement. The amendment reduced the capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility to $200,357. The amendment also extended the term on $192,857 of the capacity to September 18, 2020. The term on the remaining $7,500 of the capacity remains December 18, 2018.

In May 2018, the Company borrowed $55,000 against the revolving credit facility and used the proceeds to acquire a business.

In June 2018, the Company amended the First Lien Credit Agreement. The amendment increased the capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility by $35,000 to $235,357.  

Second Lien credit facility term loan due 2021

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company and a group of financial institutions entered into a credit agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) dated December 18, 2013. The Second Lien Credit Agreement consists of an eight-year $235,000 term loan (“Second Lien Term Loan”). An original discount of $1,175 was incurred when the notes were issued and is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt resulting in an effective yield of 7.5%. All amounts outstanding under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Receivables financing agreement

On April 28, 2017, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a receivables financing agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”). The Receivables Financing Agreement provides a borrowing capacity of $175,000 through April 27, 2020. During May 2017, the Company borrowed $150,000 against the capacity and used the proceeds to partially pay down its First Lien Term Loans and Second Lien Term Loan. All amounts outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the accounts receivables and unbilled revenue of the Company. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company voluntarily repaid $53,750 and borrowed $70,000 against the capacity.

The following are the scheduled maturities of long-term debt, which do not include any estimated excess cash flow payments during the year ended:

The Company has estimated the fair value of its long-term debt to be approximately $1,690,159 and $1,633,802 as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. Fair value is based on market bid prices around period-end (Level 2 inputs).

8.Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

Fair Value Hierarchy

The following hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available:

 

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement dates.

Level 2

Significant observable inputs that are used by market participants in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources.

Level 3

Significant unobservable inputs the Company believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.

10


 

The carrying amounts shown for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The valuation is based on settlements of similar financial instruments all of which are short-term in nature and are generally settled at or near cost.

Investments held in Rabbi Trust

The fair value of the investments held in the Rabbi Trust is based on the quoted market prices of the underlying mutual fund investments. These investments are based on the participants’ selected investments, which represent the underlying liabilities to the participants in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Derivatives

The Company’s objective in entering into derivative transactions is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements associated with its variable rate debt and changes in fuel prices. The Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The fair values of the derivative financial instruments are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis based on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The Company has determined that the significant inputs to the overall valuation of its derivatives, such as interest yield curve and discount rate, fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017:

Hedging Activities

As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company’s outstanding derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company assesses whether derivatives used in hedging transactions are “highly effective” in offsetting changes in the cash flow of the hedged forecasted transactions. Regression analysis is used for the hedge relationships and high effectiveness is achieved when a statistically valid relationship reflects a high degree of offset and correlation between the fair values of the derivative and the hedged forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in Other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to Interest expense (interest rate contracts) and Cost of services provided (fuel hedge contracts) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly to Interest expense and Cost of services provided in the period incurred. If it is determined that a

11


 

derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, or if the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, then the amount recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is released to earnings. Cash flows from the derivatives are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged transaction.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company has exposures to variability in interest rates associated with both its First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement. As such, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to help manage interest rate exposure by economically converting a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt effective for the periods March 18, 2016 through December 31, 2020. The notional amount of interest rate contracts was $1,560,000 at June 30, 2018 and $2,180,000 at September 30, 2017. The net deferred losses on the interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2018 of $5,689, net of taxes, are expected to be recognized in interest expense over the next 12 months.

Subsequent to the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company used proceeds in connection with the IPO to reduce outstanding debt. This event did not have a material impact on the hedge position for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and is not expected to have an impact on the hedge position for the remainder of fiscal 2018. See Note 1 “Business and Basis of Presentation” for additional details on transactions in connection with the IPO.

The effects on the consolidated financial statements of the interest rate swaps which were designated as cash flow hedges were as follows:
