Sales increased by 28.1% while Adjusted EBITDA1 grew an even stronger 51.9%, driven by a 33% year-over-year growth in our location footprint, positive same-store sales1, and disciplined execution on Project 360 and acquisition synergies.We achieved our third consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales, supported by market share gains and improving industry conditions that continue to drive volume growth, even as total cost of repair remained subdued. In addition to strong top-line performance, we expanded Adjusted EBITDA1 margins by 200 basis points as we continue to make meaningful progress towards our 14%+ Adjusted EBITDA margin1 goal.I'm incredibly proud of our team's performance this quarter. We accelerated growth, continued to outperform underlying industry volume trends and to strengthen operational execution while delivering meaningful margin expansion and significantly higher profitability. Our results demonstrate the scalability of our platform, the strength of our operating model, and the disciplined execution of our strategic priorities.As we look ahead, we remain focused on building on this momentum by executing our proven growth strategy, capturing additional market share, driving continued margin expansion, and creating long-term value for our shareholders." - Brian Kaner, President & CEO of the Boyd Group1 Same-store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios and are not standardized financial measures under International Financial Reporting Standards and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.

First quarter 2026 same-store sales growth of approximately 2.6% adjusted for the unusual winter storm activity in the U.S. SouthQ1 2026 Results
(First quarter 2026 compared to first quarter of 2025)Sales increased 28.1% to an all-time record $996.7 million, driven by $203.3 million from new location growth and continued market share gains reflected in positive same-store sales[1] performance. Same-store sales increased 1.7%, or approximately 2.6% adjusted for the estimated 90 basis point impact from unusual winter storm activity in the U.S. South, marking the third consecutive quarter of same-store sales growth despite muted growth in total cost of repair. The first quarter of 2026 had the same number of selling and production days as the prior-year period.Gross profit increased by 29.1% to $463.7 million while gross margins expanded to 46.5% in the first quarter of 2026, from 46.2%. Gross margins benefitted from increased parts and paint margins from Project 360 and Joe Hudson's synergy realization, partially offset by a lower mix of higher margin glass sales and variability in performance based pricing.Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 51.9% to an all-time record $122.4 million with Adjusted EBITDA margins1 expanding 200 basis points to 12.3% from 10.3% reflecting the contribution from the Joe Hudson's acquisition, which is accretive to Adjusted EBITDA margin1, cost savings from Project 360 and synergy realization.Net loss was $7.9 million, compared to $2.6 million in the same period of the prior year. The net loss was impacted by acquisition and transformational cost expenses in the first quarter of 2026 related to the Joe Hudson acquisition and Project 360. These costs are expected to decline as integration finalizes. Adjusted net earnings1 increased 144.3% to $16.1 million and Adjusted earnings per share increased to $0.58 from $0.31, driven primarily by the increase in Adjusted EBITDA1.Boyd added 269 locations during the quarter, including 258 from the Joe Hudson's acquisition, three from single shop acquisitions and eight new start up locations. Joe Hudson's shop conversions to Boyd's systems were fully completed on schedule with expected synergies progressing in line with plan._______________________________________1 Same-store sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios and are not standardized financial measures under International Financial Reporting Standards and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. For additional details, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its nearest GAAP equivalent, please see "Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios" section of this news release.OutlookIndustry conditions continued to improve in the first quarter of 2026. Based on first quarter claims processing platform data, the Company estimates that repairable claims volume declined in the range of 0-2% during the quarter, which is now back in-line with Boyd's long-term growth framework. The Company's long-term growth framework contemplates average same-store sales growth of 3–5%, supported by continued incremental market share gains driven by ongoing consolidation within the highly fragmented collision repair industry, strong performance with insurance clients, and disciplined operational execution. The framework also assumes 3–4% annual growth in average total cost of repair and approximately 1% growth in miles driven, partially offset by an approximate 2% decline in repairable claims due to the impact of collision avoidance systems. While growth in average total cost of repair has remained below historical averages in recent periods, management believes a return toward target levels over time is supported by the continued normalization of key industry drivers, including rising used vehicle values and increasing vehicle complexity."I'm pleased to report that the normalization in repairable claims has continued to positively benefit our business early in the second quarter, with same-store sales in April approaching the low end of our long-term range. We continue to expect same-store sales growth to be complemented by contributions from new location growth as we execute our growth strategy. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company expects to open five start up locations with an additional 17 start up locations to be added through year-end. Supported by a robust pipeline of both new start up opportunities and acquisitions, we remain confident in our outlook for new location growth in 2026 and beyond." - Brian Kaner, President & CEO of the Boyd Group2026 First Quarter Conference Call & WebcastManagement will hold a conference call on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. (ET) to review the Company's 2026 first quarter results.

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.

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.

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.(thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)Three months endedMarch 31,

Commencing in the fourth quarter, the calculation of Adjusted net earnings excludes amortization of intangibles arising on acquisitions. Comparative periods have been restated for consistency. Prior to the adjustment for amortization of intangibles arising on acquisitions, Adjusted net earnings in 2025 was $44.4 million, compared with $30.9 million in 2024 and Adjusted net earnings per share was $1.98, compared with $1.44 in 2024Net earnings decreased 25.0% to $18.4 million, compared with $24.5 million in 2024 and net earnings per share decreased 28.3% to $0.82, compared with $1.14 in 2024.

Please see "Non-GAAP measures" section of this news release. Commencing in the fourth quarter, the calculation of Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted net earnings per share excludes amortization of intangibles arising on acquisitions. Comparative periods have been restated for consistency."We closed out 2025 with strong momentum, highlighted by our second consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales growth, continued outperformance relative to industry trends, margin expansion and a strengthened competitive position", commented Mr. Brian Kaner, President & CEO of the Boyd Group. "As industry conditions improved, our results reflected disciplined execution of our growth strategy and substantial progress on our Project 360 initiative. We also announced the definitive agreement to acquire Joe Hudson's Collision Center and listed our shares on the New York Stock Exchange, two significant milestones that further increase our scale, deepen our U.S. presence, and position Boyd for continued long-term growth and value creation.""Our strong operating performance in 2025 was driven by improvements in same-store sales, growth from new locations, including four small multi-shop operator acquisitions, and strong margin improvement from the continued execution of Project 360. Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 12.4% year-over-year, supported by a 110 basis point expansion in Adjusted EBITDA margins1 to 12.0%, demonstrating meaningful progress towards the Company's Adjusted EBITDA margin1 goal of 14%+", continued Mr. Kaner."I am proud of the Boyd team's outstanding commitment and performance throughout 2025. When we launched Project 360 in the fourth quarter of 2024, we set ambitious goals, and it's rewarding to see the substantial progress we have made.""Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited about the opportunities in front of us. The transformative acquisition of Joe Hudson's Collision Center marks a significant milestone, and we are confident that our increased scale, greater market density, and expanded growth platform will help us deliver even more value for our shareholders and customers. Our disciplined execution and clear focus on growth positions Boyd for continued success", concluded Mr. Kaner.Outlook
Industry conditions steadily improved throughout 2025 and into the early part of 2026. Based on fourth quarter claims processing platform data, the Company estimates that repairable claims volume declined in the range of 2-4% during the quarter. This represents a notable improvement compared to earlier in the year, when claims were down an estimated 9-10% in the first quarter, 6-8% in the second quarter and 3-5% in the third quarter. Thus far in 2026, we have continued to see sustained improvement in the key industry drivers that supported this recovery, including insurance premium inflation falling below overall CPI levels, insurance rate reductions across several carriers and increasing used vehicle prices.In the early months of 2026, while winter storms benefitted our northern regions, this benefit was partially offset by unusual storm activity in the U.S. South. These storms resulted in lower driving activity and therefore a short-term reduction in volume in our southern locations, including Joe Hudson's. As the quarter has progressed, we have seen volumes in the south normalize with overall same-store sales thus far tracking similar to fourth quarter levels. Integration of Joe Hudson's acquisition and realization of associated synergies are progressing well and remain in line with our initial expectations. Boyd has made solid progress with the integration of Joe Hudson's during the early months of 2026 with conversion of approximately 44% of locations over to the Company's information technology platforms and branding. This initiative is expected to be complete early in the second quarter.As we advance the integration of Joe Hudson's, we remain well positioned to execute on our established pipeline of approximately eight to ten new start-up locations per quarter. In the first quarter of 2026, Boyd expects to open eight start-up locations, with an additional 24 currently in development through December 31, 2026. Start-up location development will be complemented by acquisitions, including single shop and small MSO acquisitions.As in prior years, first quarter expenses are impacted by higher payroll taxes that occur early in the year, while the fourth quarter of 2025 benefited from reductions in expense accruals as certain estimates were firmed up at amounts lower than previously accrued.In the long-term, management remains confident in its business model and its ability to enhance its industry position by expanding its presence in North America through strategic acquisitions alongside organic growth from Boyd's existing operations. Through more than 30 years of disciplined execution, we now operate over 1,300 locations across North America, and with the acquisition of Joe Hudson's we have solidified our position as the second largest independent collision repair operator. Despite this success, our market share remains modest in a highly fragmented industry of approximately 30,000 repair locations. This fragmentation provides significant consolidation and scale-driven efficiency opportunities for Boyd over the long-term.2025 Fourth Quarter Conference Call & Webcast
Management will hold a conference call on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (ET) to review the Company's 2025 fourth quarter and year-end results.

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. (thousands of U.S. dollars)

Same-store sales (excluding foreign exchange)$764,915$748,700$3,008,811$3,015,013ADJUSTED EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGINEBITDA 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.

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.(thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per
