SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Consolidated sales for the second quarter were $340.3 million, a 5.1% increase compared to the same quarter last year, driven by the sales generated mainly from recent US business acquisitions, adding sales of $33.7 million or 10.4% as well as by the organic growth of 6.2% in the Canadian Automotive Group. The consolidated organic sales of -2.8% were affected, as expected, by the product line changeover in the FinishMaster US segment. Without this impact, the consolidated organic growth would have been approximately 2.1%.
The Corporation generated an EBITDA and EBITDA margin of respectively $29.5 million and 8.7%. Once adjusted for net charges related to The Parts Alliance acquisition, adjusted EBITDA was $32.5 million or 9.5% of sales for the quarter, compared to $29.7 million or 9.2% of sales in 2016. The EBITDA margin increase of 0.3% is the result of optimized buying conditions, lower stock-based compensation in 2017 as 2016 expenses were impacted by a share price appreciation as well as by a reduction in commissions and bonuses to align with the level of sales. These factors were partially offset by a lower absorption of employee benefits and fixed costs in relation to the organic growth and by a different revenue mix.
Net earnings and adjusted earnings were respectively $13.7 million and $16.6 million. Adjusted earnings decreased by 1.0% compared to the same quarter last year, and were impacted by additional amortization on customer relationships and finance costs related to recent business acquisitions.
As at June 30, 2017, the total net debt stood at $189.3 million, representing a decrease of $9.7 million compared to March 31, 2017. Funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio (1) improved to 1.69 from 1.82 as at March 31, 2017, a result of the net debt decrease and a growing adjusted EBITDA.

Segmented Results
FinishMaster US recorded sales of $209.5 million, up 6.6% from the same quarter in 2016, strengthened by the recent business acquisitions representing a growth of $29.8 million or 15.2%. The product line changeover impacted sales by approximately 8.0%. EBITDA for this segment was $24.0 million, compared to $24.3 million last year. EBITDA margin decreased by 0.9% and is resulting from lower absorption of fixed costs related to the organic growth. FinishMaster US is progressing in the development and execution of the new industrial growth program. Organic growth initiatives are in place to focus on each customer segment. Expanding geographic coverage continues with the opening of two greenfield stores. Additionally, mergers and acquisitions' synergy plans are being executed, and seven locations were consolidated during the quarter.
Sales for the Canadian Automotive Group were $130.8 million, compared to $127.3 million in 2016, an increase of 2.8%, a direct result of the organic growth of 6.2% as well as the performance of the recent business acquisitions. The impact of the declining Canadian dollar on its conversion to US dollars penalized sales by 4.5%. The distribution centres and both BUMPER TO BUMPER and FINISHMASTER corporate stores reported a positive organic growth, a result of the concerted efforts and initiatives of the management and sales teams. The EBITDA margin increase of 1.6% compared to 2016 is mainly related to improved gross margin and lower information technology expenses. These factors were compensated by a different revenue mix and ongoing investments required in relation to the corporate store initiative. Once the integration of the corporate stores and the implementation of the new point of sales systems will be completed, additional synergies and efficiency are expected.
SIX-MONTH PERIOD RESULTS
Consolidated sales for the six-month period were $637.5 million, a 8.5% increase compared to the same period last year, driven by the sales generated mainly from recent US business acquisitions, resulting in additional sales of $78.3 million or 13.3% as well as by the organic sales of 3.1% from the Canadian Automotive Group that overcame its loss of an independent member. The consolidated organic sales were affected, as expected, by the product line changeover in the FinishMaster US segment. Without this impact, the consolidated organic growth would have been approximately 0.7%.
The Corporation generated an EBITDA of $52.7 million, while adjusted EBITDA amounted to $55.6 million, representing an increase of 8.1% compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decrease of 0.1% is mainly attributable to lower absorption of employee benefits and fixed costs in relation to the organic growth and a different revenue mix, which were partially compensated by optimized buying conditions and lower information technology expenses.
Net earnings and adjusted earnings were respectively $24.7 million and $27.6 million compared to $28.3 million last year. Additional amortization on customer relationships and finance costs related to recent business acquisitions explain the decrease in adjusted earnings.
Segmented Results
FinishMaster US recorded sales of $409.2 million, up 10.6% from the same period in 2016, strengthened by the recent business acquisitions representing a growth of $70.9 million or 19.1%. The product line changeover impacted sales by approximately 7.8%. EBITDA for this segment reached $47.3 million, up 5.1% from 2016. EBITDA margin decreased by 0.6%, the result of a reduced absorption of fixed costs related to the organic growth. FinishMaster US pursued the expansion of its network during the six-month period of 2017, enlarging its footprint and reinforcing its position in major markets.
Sales for the Canadian Automotive Group were $228.3 million, compared to $217.9 million in 2016, an increase of 4.8%, driven by the organic growth and the recent business acquisitions. This segment generated a positive organic growth in both its distribution centres and corporate stores, despite the loss of an independent member at the beginning of the year. The EBITDA margin remained constant compared to 2016.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 25, 2017, the Corporation entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. The agreement provides for a $125.0 million upsize in the unsecured long-term revolving credit facility as well as a new unsecured term facility in the principal amount of $100.0 million, for a total maximum principal amount of $625.0 million.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
The information included in this Press release contains certain financial measures that are inconsistent with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities.
Organic growth - This measure consists of quantifying the increase in pro forma consolidated sales between two given periods, excluding the impact of acquisitions, sales and disposals of stores, exchange-rate fluctuations and when necessary, the variance in the number of billing days. This measure enables Uni-Select to evaluate the intrinsic trend in the sales generated by its operational base in comparison with the rest of the market. Determining the rate of organic growth, based on findings that Management regards as reasonable, may differ from the actual rate of organic growth.
EBITDA - This measure represents net earnings excluding finance costs, depreciation and amortization and income taxes. This measure is a financial indicator of a corporation's ability to service and incur debt. It should not be considered by an investor as an alternative to sales or net earnings, as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity, but as additional information.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share - Management uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share to assess EBITDA, net earnings and net earnings per share from operating activities, excluding certain adjustments, net of income taxes (for adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share), which may affect the comparability of the Corporation's financial results. Management considers that these measures are more representative of the Corporation's operational performance and more appropriate in providing additional information. These adjustments include, among other things, net transaction charges as well as amortization of the premium on foreign currency options related to The Parts Alliance acquisition, restructuring and other charges and impairment and transaction charges related to the sale of net assets. The exclusion of these items does not indicate that they are non-recurring.
EBITDA margin and adjusted EBITDA margin - The EBITDA margin is a percentage corresponding to the ratio of the EBITDA to sales. The adjusted EBITDA margin is a percentage corresponding to the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to sales.
Total net debt - This measure consists of long‐term debt, including the portion due within a year, net of cash.
Funded debt to adjusted EBITDA - This ratio corresponds to total net debt to adjusted EBITDA.
