Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other periodic reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other written or oral statements made from time to time by our management contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Terms such as “may,” “intend,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions often signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control, and because they also relate to the future, they are likewise subject to inherent uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs, and projections expressed in such statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•cyclicality in residential and commercial construction markets;

•general economic and financial conditions, including a prolonged economic recession;

•market variables, including inflation and rising interest rates;

•increases in operating costs;

•public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

•public perceptions that our products and services are not environmentally friendly or that our practices are not sustainable;

•competitive industry pressures, including competition for our talent base;

•supply chain disruptions, product or labor shortages, and the loss of key suppliers;

•inventory management risks;

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

•acquisition and integration risks, including increased competition for acquisitions;

•risks associated with our large labor force and our customers’ labor force and labor market disruptions;

•retention of key personnel;

•construction defect and product liability claims;

•impairment of goodwill;

•adverse credit and financial markets events and conditions;

•inefficient or ineffective allocation of capital;

•credit sale risks;

•performance of individual branches;

•climate, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations;

•hazardous materials and related materials;

•laws and government regulations applicable to our business that could negatively impact demand for our products;

•cybersecurity incidents involving our systems or third-party systems;

•failure or malfunctions in our information technology systems;

•security of personal information about our customers;

•intellectual property and other proprietary rights;

•unanticipated changes in our tax provisions;

•threats from terrorism, violence, uncertain political conditions, and geopolitical conflicts such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine;

•risks related to our current indebtedness and our ability to obtain financing in the future;

•financial institution disruptions;

•risks related to our common stock; and

•risks related to other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. We assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time, either as a result of future developments, new information or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends, or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (hereinafter collectively with all its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”) is a wholesale distributor of irrigation supplies, hardscapes (including pavers, natural stone, and blocks), fertilizer and control products (e.g., herbicides), landscape accessories, nursery goods, outdoor lighting, and ice melt products to green industry professionals. The Company also provides value-added consultative services to complement its product offering and to help customers operate and grow their businesses. Substantially all of the Company’s sales are to customers located in the United States of America (“U.S.”), with less than three percent of sales and less than four percent of total assets in Canada for all periods presented. As of July 2, 2023, the Company had over 650 branches. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customers’ business cycles, sales are significantly higher in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year.

Share Repurchase Program

On October 20, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase, at any time or from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $400.0 million pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan and/or pursuant to open market or accelerated share repurchase arrangements, tender offers, or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended, or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

During the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, there were no shares purchased under the share repurchase program. As of July 2, 2023, the dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the share repurchase authorization was $375.0 million.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted, which, among other things, implements a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on book income of certain large corporations effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, and imposes a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the enacted legislation to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as applicable to interim financial reporting. In management’s opinion, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023. The interim period unaudited financial results for the three and six-month periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Certain prior period amounts, which are not material, have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation on the Consolidated Statements of Equity. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, the Company reclassified Treasury stock shares of 20,911 and the corresponding share amount of $0.3 million, which in previous years were reported in Common stock shares and Additional paid-in capital, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Table of Contents

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023 both include 52 weeks. Additionally, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Sunday nearest to March 31, June 30, and September 30, respectively. The three months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 both include 13 weeks. The six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 both include 26 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities used in operating the Company’s business, including entities in which the Company owns or controls more than 50% of the voting shares. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies

Except as updated by the Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements section below, a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contact Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”). The guidance requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) rather than at fair value. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on a prospective basis when it became effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), as amended in January 2021 by ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” (“ASU 2021-01”), and in December 2022 by ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848” (“ASU 2022-06”).

•ASU 2020-04 provided optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria were met.

•ASU 2021-01 amended the scope of the guidance in ASU 2020-04 on the facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarified that “certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting can apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition”. These amendments applied only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients are applicable to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. The guidance was permitted to be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occurred.

•ASU 2022-06 deferred the expiration date of the reference rate reform relief guidance provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 to December 31, 2024.

The Company previously elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions would be based matches the index for the corresponding derivatives. On March 27, 2023, the Company amended its term loans to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) in lieu of LIBOR. On March 31, 2023, the Company amended the terms of its interest rate swaps to implement SOFR in place of LIBOR. Concurrent with the amendments to its interest rate swaps, the Company elected certain of the optional expedients provided in Topic 848 that allowed the Company to preserve the past presentation of its derivatives without de-designating the existing hedging relationships. The adoption of Topic 848 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” and “Note 4. Fair Value Measurement and Interest Rate Swaps” for additional information regarding these amended agreements.

Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The following table presents Net sales disaggregated by product category (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 2, 2023		July 3, 2022		July 2, 2023		July 3, 2022
Landscaping products(a)	$	1,075.2	$	948.3	$	1,712.1	$	1,536.0
Agronomic and other products(b)	278.5		268.3		479.0		485.9
	$	1,353.7	$	1,216.6	$	2,191.1	$	2,021.9

______________

(a) Landscaping products include irrigation supplies, hardscapes, landscape accessories, nursery goods, and outdoor lighting.

(b) Agronomic and other products include fertilizer, control products, ice melt, equipment, and other products.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations related to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year that are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. Remaining performance obligations include the outstanding points balance related to the customer loyalty rewards program. The program allows enrolled customers to earn loyalty rewards on purchases to be used on future purchases, to pay for annual customer trips hosted by the Company, or to obtain gift cards to other third-party retailers.

As of July 2, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $13.0 million. The Company expects to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, deferred revenue, and billings in excess of revenue recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities

As of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, contract liabilities were $13.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively, and were included within Accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract liability balance during the six months ended July 2, 2023 is primarily a result of cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations, partially offset by $3.5 million of revenue recognized and the expiration of points related to the customer loyalty rewards program during the period.

Note 3. Acquisitions

The Company enters into strategic acquisitions in an effort to better service existing customers and to attract new customers. The Company completed acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of $56.7 million and $125.8 million and deferred contingent consideration of $5.5 million and $8.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurement and Interest Rate Swaps

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing an amount that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized into the following three-tiered value hierarchy:

•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data.

The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The classification of fair value measurement within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, interest rate swap contracts, and long-term debt. The variable interest rate on the long-term debt is reflective of current market borrowing rates. As such, the Company has determined that the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company is subject to interest rate risk with regard to existing and future issuances of debt. The Company utilizes interest rate swap contracts to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates for future interest payments on existing debt. The Company is party to interest rate swap contracts to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate on the borrowings under the term loans.

The Company recognizes any differences between the variable interest rate payments and the fixed interest rate settlements with the swap counterparties as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the swaps. The Company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and records the estimated fair value of the swaps to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. If it becomes probable the forecasted transactions will not occur, the hedge relationship will be de-designated and amounts accumulated in AOCI will be reclassified to Interest and other non-operating expenses, net in the current period.

On March 31, 2023, the Company amended the terms of its interest rate swaps to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in place of LIBOR. Since the interest rate swaps were affected by reference rate reform, the Company applied the expedients and exceptions provided in Topic 848 to preserve the past presentation of its derivatives without de-designating the existing hedging relationships. All interest rate swap amendments were executed with the existing counterparties and did not change the notional amounts, maturity dates, or other critical terms of the hedging relationships. The interest rate swaps will continue to be net settled on a quarterly basis with the counterparties for the difference between the fixed rates and the variable rates based upon three-month Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.73839% for interest rate swap 3 and 0.23839% for interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9) as applied to the notional amounts of each interest rate swap.

On March 23, 2021, the Company restructured the interest rate swap positions of its Forward-starting interest rate swaps 4, 5, and 6 to extend the terms to maturity using a strategy commonly referred to as a “blend and extend” in order to continue to manage its exposure to interest rate risk on borrowings under the term loans. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” for additional information regarding the Company’s term loans. As a result of these transactions, all existing agreements for Forward-starting interest rate swaps 4, 5, and 6 at that time were amended and restructured as new agreements designated by the Company as interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9 with the same counterparties. Each of these amended interest rate swap agreements blended the liability positions of the Forward-starting interest rate swaps into the interest rate swaps and extended the term of the hedged positions to mature on March 23, 2025. The interest rate swaps were net settled on a quarterly basis with the counterparties for the difference between the fixed rates and the variable rates based upon three-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.50%) as applied to the notional amounts of each interest rate swap. Due to the size of the initial net investment amounts resulting from the termination values of the Forward-starting interest rate swaps that were rolled into the interest rate swap arrangements, interest rate swaps 7, 8, and 9 were determined to be hybrid debt instruments containing embedded at-market interest rate swap derivatives. As a result, the Company bifurcated the derivative instruments from the debt host instruments for accounting purposes. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” for additional information regarding the Company’s hybrid debt instruments.

The Company recognizes the unrealized gains or unrealized losses for interest rate swap contracts as either assets or liabilities at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The interest rate swap contracts are subject to master netting arrangements. The Company has elected not to offset the fair value of assets with the fair value of liabilities related to these contracts. The following table summarizes the fair value of the derivative instruments and the respective lines in which they were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023 (in millions):


	Derivative Assets
	July 2, 2023			January 1, 2023
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value

Interest rate contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	9.9	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	8.6
	Other assets	5.1		Other assets	7.7
Total derivative assets		$	15.0		$	16.3

As of July 2, 2023, the net fair value of the interest rate swaps in the amount of $11.1 million, net of taxes, was recorded in AOCI for the derivatives designated as hedging instruments. To the extent the interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments are determined to be ineffective, the Company recognizes the changes in the estimated fair value of the swaps in earnings.

For determining the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts, the Company uses significant observable market data or assumptions (Level 2 inputs) that market participants would use in pricing similar assets or liabilities, including assumptions about counterparty risk. The fair value estimates reflect an income approach based on the terms of the interest rate swap contracts and inputs corroborated by observable market data including interest rate curves.

For the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, there was no ineffectiveness recognized in earnings. The after-tax amount of unrealized gain on derivative instruments included in AOCI related to the interest rate swap contracts expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months was $7.3 million as of July 2, 2023. The ultimate amount recognized will vary based on fluctuations of interest rates through the maturity dates.

Failure of the swap counterparties to make payments would result in the loss of any potential benefit to the Company under the swap agreements. In this case, the Company would still be obligated to pay the variable interest payments underlying the debt agreements. Additionally, failure of the swap counterparties would not eliminate the Company’s obligation to continue to make payments under the existing swap agreements if it continues to be in a net pay position.

Table of Contents

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include customer relationships as well as trademarks and other intangibles acquired through acquisitions. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on an accelerated method or a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. An accelerated amortization method reflecting the pattern in which the asset will be consumed is utilized if that pattern can be reliably determined. If that pattern cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line amortization method is used. The Company considers the period of expected cash flows and the underlying data used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets when selecting a useful life. The Company’s customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated method.

The following table summarizes the components of intangible assets (in millions, except weighted average remaining useful life):


		July 2, 2023						January 1, 2023
	Weighted Average Remaining Useful Life	Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net		Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net
Customer relationships	17.1 years	$	518.2	$	267.7	$	250.5	$	490.5	$	241.2	$	249.3

During the six months ended July 2, 2023, the Company recorded $28.9 million of intangible assets, including $27.7 million in Customer relationship intangibles and $1.2 million in Trademarks and other intangibles. The change in Customer relationship intangibles and Trademarks and other intangibles included additions of $24.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as a result of the acquisitions completed in 2023 as described in Note 3. Updates of purchase price allocations related to prior year acquisitions during the allowable measurement period and currency translation adjustments of Customer relationship intangibles and Trademarks and other intangibles, net were $3.0 million and $(1.0) million, respectively.

During the six months ended July 3, 2022, the Company recorded $57.1 million of intangible assets, including $50.0 million in Customer relationship intangibles and $7.1 million in Trademarks and other intangibles. The change in Customer relationship intangibles and Trademarks and other intangibles included additions of $49.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, as a result of the acquisitions completed in 2022 as described in Note 3. Updates of purchase price allocations related to prior year acquisitions during the allowable measurement period and currency translation adjustments of Customer relationship intangibles and Trademarks and other intangibles, net were $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The Customer relationship intangible are amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately 20 years. The trademarks and other intangible assets are amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately five years.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $15.4 million and $30.5 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, and $11.6 million and $22.9 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively.

Note 7. Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. The Company leases equipment and real estate including office space, branch locations, and distribution centers under operating leases. Finance lease obligations consist primarily of the Company’s vehicle fleet. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one year to five years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases include options to purchase the leased property. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's operating leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Finance lease agreements generally include an interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the ROU assets or lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in millions):


		Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
Lease Cost	Classification	July 2, 2023		July 3, 2022		July 2, 2023		July 3, 2022

Note 8. Employee Benefit and Stock Incentive Plans

The Company sponsors a defined contribution benefit plan for substantially all of its employees. Company contributions to the plan are based on a percentage of employee wages. The Company’s contributions to the plan were $4.8 million and $9.4 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, and $3.8 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively.

The Company’s Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), which became effective on April 28, 2016, provided for the grant of awards in the form of stock options that may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; stock purchase rights; restricted stock; restricted stock units (“RSUs”); performance shares; performance stock units (“PSUs”); stock appreciation rights; dividend equivalents; deferred stock units (“DSUs”); or other stock-based awards. The Company also has outstanding stock-based awards under its stock incentive plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”), which commenced in May 2014 and terminated upon adoption of the 2016 Plan. However, awards previously granted under the Stock Incentive Plan were unaffected by the termination of the Stock Incentive Plan.

At the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company on May 13, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which replaced the 2016 Plan. The 2020 Plan reserves 2,155,280 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan, consisting of 1,600,000 new shares plus 555,280 shares that were previously authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan and that, as of the Effective Date, were not subject to outstanding awards. No further grants of awards will be made under the 2016 Plan; however, outstanding awards granted under the 2016 Plan will remain outstanding and will continue to be administered in accordance with the terms of the 2016 Plan and the applicable award agreements. Any shares covered by an award, or any portion thereof, granted under the 2020 Plan, 2016 Plan, or Stock Incentive Plan that terminates, is forfeited, is repurchased, expires, or lapses for any reason will again be available for the grant of awards. Additionally, any shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligations pursuant to any award under the 2020 Plan, 2016 Plan, or Stock Incentive Plan will again be available for issuance. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2020 Plan is 2,155,280 shares of which 1,916,425 remain available as of July 2, 2023.

Table of Contents

Stock options and RSUs granted to employees vest over a four-year period at 25% per year. Stock options expire ten years after the date of grant. PSUs granted to employees vest upon the achievement of the performance conditions, over a three-year period, measured by the growth of the Company’s pre-tax income plus amortization relative to a select peer group, subject to adjustment based upon the application of a return on invested capital modifier.

RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest at the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company at which directors are elected or the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case, subject to the participant’s continued service as a director or other service provider (as applicable) from the grant date through such vesting date. Vested RSUs granted to non-employee directors settle into the Company’s common stock at the earlier to occur of the vesting date, termination of the director’s service on the Company’s Board of Directors, or until a change of control of the Company. Settlement may also be deferred at the director’s election until a specified date after the vesting date. DSUs granted to non-employee directors vest immediately but settlement is deferred until termination of the director’s service on the Company’s Board of Directors or until a change of control of the Company.

In February 2023, the Company’s Human Resources and Compensation Committee approved amendments to the applicable equity award agreements governing the terms of the stock options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the 2020 Plan. Pursuant to such amendments, all unvested stock options and RSUs granted to an associate after the effective date of the amendments under an applicable award agreement, as amended, will fully vest following the end of their employment, generally in four equal annual installments and expire in 10 years for stock options, if such associate’s combined age (minimum of 55 years of age) and completed years of employment with the Company (minimum of five years of service) equals 65 or more (the “Rule of 65”). The amendments did not alter any equity award agreements outstanding on or prior to the effective date or the pro-rated vesting schedule with respect to PSUs, other than to change the definition of retirement to reflect the Rule of 65.

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of the start of fiscal year 2023, expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. Prior to fiscal year 2023, expected volatilities were based on the historical equity volatility of comparable publicly traded companies. The change in estimate was due to the length of time the Company’s common stock has been publicly traded now exceeding the expected term of the stock options. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rates utilized for periods throughout the contractual life of the stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury security yields at the time of grant. DSUs, RSUs, and PSUs have grant date fair values equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements based upon fair value on the date of grant. The compensation cost for stock options and RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense for PSUs when it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each reporting period and adjusts its compensation cost accordingly.

A summary of stock-based compensation activities during the six months ended July 2, 2023 was as follows (in thousands):


	Stock Options	RSUs	DSUs	PSUs
Outstanding as of January 1, 2023	971.9	205.3	52.0	52.2

(“Bidco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and each direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of Landscape. The availability under the ABL Facility was $454.4 million and $487.4 million as of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, respectively. Availability is determined using borrowing base calculations of eligible inventory and receivable balances less the current outstanding ABL Facility and letters of credit balances.

On July 22, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiaries, entered into the Seventh Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Seventh Amendment amended and restated the ABL Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the commitments to $600.0 million, (ii) extend the final scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to July 22, 2027, (iii) establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR rate, (iv) replace the administrative and collateral agent, and (v) make such other changes as agreed among the Borrowers and the lenders. Proceeds of the initial borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement on the closing date of the Seventh Amendment were used, among other things, (i) to repay in full the loans outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Seventh Amendment, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Seventh Amendment and the ABL Credit Agreement, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The interest rate on outstanding balances under the ABL Facility ranged from 6.44059% to 6.45249% as of July 2, 2023 and ranged from 5.68561% to 5.77336% as of January 1, 2023. Additionally, the Borrowers paid a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unfunded amount as of July 2, 2023 and a commitment fee of 0.20% on the unfunded amount as of January 1, 2023.

Table of Contents

The ABL Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments if the outstanding loans and letters of credit exceed either the aggregate revolving commitments or the current borrowing base, in an amount equal to such excess. Additionally, the ABL Facility is subject to various covenants, including incurrence covenants that require the Company to meet minimum financial ratios, and additional borrowings and other corporate transactions may be limited by failure to meet these financial ratios. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interest in collateral pledged under the agreement, or restrict the Borrowers’ ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements. The ABL Facility is secured by a first lien security interest over inventory and receivables and a second lien security interest over all other assets pledged as collateral.

The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: financial condition, fundamental changes, dividends and distributions, acquisitions, dispositions of collateral, payments and modifications of restricted indebtedness, negative pledge clauses, changes in line of business, currency, commodity and other hedging transactions, transactions with affiliates, investments, indebtedness, and liens. The negative covenants are subject to customary exceptions and also permit the payment of dividends and distributions, investments, permitted acquisitions, payments or redemptions of indebtedness under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, asset sales and mergers, consolidations, and sales of all or substantially all assets involving subsidiaries upon satisfaction of a “payment condition.” The payment condition is deemed satisfied upon 30-day specified excess availability and specified availability exceeding agreed upon thresholds and, in certain cases, the absence of specified events of default or known events of default and pro forma compliance with a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00. As of July 2, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the ABL Facility covenants.

Term Loans

The Borrowers entered into a syndicated senior term loan facility dated April 29, 2016, which was amended on November 23, 2016, May 24, 2017, December 12, 2017, and August 14, 2018. On March 23, 2021, the Borrowers entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), in order to, among other things, incur $325.0 million of term loans (the “New Term Loans”) which were used in part to prepay all of the existing term loans outstanding immediately prior to effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment (the “Tranche E Term Loans”). On March 27, 2023, Landscape Holding, as representative for the Borrowers, entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in lieu of LIBOR. The New Term Loans are guaranteed by Bidco and each direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of Landscape. The New Term Loans are secured by a second lien security interest over inventory and receivables and a first lien security interest over all other assets pledged as collateral. The New Term Loans mature on March 23, 2028.

Amendments of the Term Loans

On March 27, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary, Landscape Holding, entered into the Sixth Amendment, which amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in lieu of LIBOR. The New Term Loans bear interest, at Landscape Holding’s option, at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00% (with a Term SOFR floor of 0.50% on initial term loans and 0.00% on all other term loans) or (ii) an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.00%. Voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, subject to a 1.00% premium payable in connection with certain repricing transactions if the transactions occurred within the first 12 months after the date of the initial funding of the New Term Loans. The interest rate on the outstanding balance of the New Terms Loans was 7.21697% at July 2, 2023. Refer to “Note 13. Subsequent Events” for information regarding amendments to the New Term Loans subsequent to July 2, 2023.

On March 23, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiaries, entered into the Fifth Amendment, by and among the Borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “New Agent”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto, and certain other parties party thereto from time to time. The Fifth Amendment amends and restates the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2016, among the Borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch (the “Existing Agent”) as administrative agent and collateral agent (as amended prior to March 23, 2021, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as so amended and restated pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) in order to, among other things, (i) incur $325.0 million of term loans, (ii) replace the Existing Agent as administrative and collateral agent with the New Agent, and (iii) make such other changes in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as agreed among the Borrowers and the lenders. Proceeds of the New Term Loans were used, among other things, (i) to repay in full the Tranche E Term Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Fifth Amendment and the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Table of Contents

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following: limitations on indebtedness, restricted payments, restrictive agreements, sales of assets and subsidiary stock, transactions with affiliates, liens, fundamental changes, amendments, and lines of business. The negative covenants are subject to exceptions customary for transactions of the type.

The New Term Loans are payable in consecutive quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate initial principal amount of the New Term Loans until the maturity date. In addition, the New Term Loans are subject to annual mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the applicable fiscal year if 50% of excess cash flow exceeds $15.0 million and the secured leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00. There are also mandatory prepayments with the proceeds of certain asset sales and from the issuance of debt not permitted to be incurred under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of July 2, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement covenants.

Interest Expense

During the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, the Company incurred total interest expense of $7.3 million and $14.2 million, respectively, of which $6.3 million and $12.2 million related to interest on the ABL Facility and the term loans for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively. Debt issuance costs and discounts are amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs and discounts was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively. The remaining $0.8 million and $1.5 million of interest expense is primarily related to interest attributable to finance leases, partially offset by interest income for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively.

During the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, the Company incurred total interest expense of $4.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively, of which $3.9 million and $7.5 million related to interest on the ABL Facility and the term loans for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively. Debt issuance costs and discounts are amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs and discounts was $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively. The remaining $0.4 million and $0.8 million of interest expense primarily related to interest attributable to finance leases for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively.

Hybrid Debt Instruments

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company reclassified $5.9 million from Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities to long-term debt with $1.5 million classified as Long-term debt, current portion and $4.4 million classified as Long-term debt, less current portion on its Consolidated Balance Sheets since the interest rate swap arrangements executed on March 23, 2021 were determined to be hybrid debt instruments containing embedded at-market swap derivatives. As of July 2, 2023, approximately $1.5 million was classified as Long-term debt, current portion and approximately $1.1 million was classified as Long-term debt, less current portion on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to “Note 4. Fair Value Measurement and Interest Rate Swaps” for additional information regarding interest rate swaps and hybrid debt instruments.

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 23.8% for the six months ended July 2, 2023 and approximately 22.2% for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase in the effective rate was due primarily to a decrease in the amount of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation recognized as a component of Income tax expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized excess tax benefits of $1.9 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023, and $7.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from its statutory rate based on a variety of factors, including overall profitability, the geographical mix of income taxes, and the related tax rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates.

The Company provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The assessment considers all available positive and negative evidence and is measured quarterly. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against certain state deferred tax assets where sufficient negative evidence exists to require a valuation allowance. During the six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, the Company recorded no material increases or decreases to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental liability: As part of the sale by LESCO, Inc. of its manufacturing assets in 2005, the Company retained the environmental liability associated with those assets. Remediation activities can vary substantially in duration and cost and it is difficult to develop precise estimates of future site remediation costs. The Company recorded in Other long-term liabilities the undiscounted cost estimate of future remediation efforts of $3.9 million and $3.9 million as of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, respectively. As part of the CD&R Acquisition, Deere & Company agreed to pay the first $2.5 million of the liability and the Company’s exposure is capped at $2.4 million. The Company has recorded an indemnification asset in Other assets against the liability as a result of these actions of $1.5 million and $1.5 million as of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, respectively.

Letters of credit: As of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, outstanding letters of credit were $14.3 million and $11.5 million, respectively. There were no amounts drawn on the letters of credit for either period presented.

Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company includes vested RSUs, DSUs, and PSUs that have not been settled in common shares in the basic weighted average number of common shares calculation. The Company’s computation of diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, which include in-the-money outstanding stock options and RSUs. PSUs are excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the performance conditions have been achieved on the basis of the assumption that the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, if such shares issuable are dilutive. Using the treasury stock method, the effect of dilutive securities includes the additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding based on the assumption that these potentially dilutive securities had been issued. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of RSUs and stock options are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period, thus reducing the dilutive effect. RSUs and stock options with assumed proceeds per unit above the Company’s average share price for the periods presented are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because the effect is anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	July 2, 2023	July 3, 2022	July 2, 2023	July 3, 2022
Shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share	45,093,712	45,034,633	45,069,781	44,985,199
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options	522,323	635,974	523,413	723,948
RSUs and PSUs	57,512	96,983	59,823	96,908
DSUs	9,429	11,583	8,516	7,999
Shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share	45,682,976	45,779,173	45,661,533	45,814,054

The diluted earnings per common share calculation for the three months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 excluded the effect of 238,178 and 269,177 potential shares of common stock, respectively, because the assumed exercises of a portion of the Company’s employee stock options and RSUs were anti-dilutive. In addition, the diluted earnings per common share calculation for the six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 excluded the anti-dilutive effect of 233,704 and 246,083 potential shares of common stock, respectively.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

On July 3, 2023, the Company acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Hickory Hill Farm & Garden, LLC (“Hickory Hill”). With one location in Eatonton, Georgia, Hickory Hill is a wholesale distributor of irrigation, nursery, and landscape supplies to landscape professionals.

On July 12, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary, Landscape Holding, entered into the Increase Supplement (the “Increase Supplement”) by and between Landscape Holding, as borrower representative, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as increasing lender (the “Increasing Lender”), to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Increase Supplement provides for an additional $120.0 million of New Term Loans and makes such other changes to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as agreed between Landscape Holding and the Increasing Lender. Proceeds of the term loans borrowed pursuant to the Increase Supplement were used, among other things, to (i) repay certain loans outstanding under the ABL Facility and (ii) pay fees and expenses related to the Increase Supplement. After giving effect to the borrowing pursuant to the Increase Supplement, the aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement on July 12, 2023 was $371.5 million. The maturity date of the New Term Loans of March 23, 2028 did not change as a result of the Increase Supplement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information” included herein and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.

Overview

SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (collectively with all of its subsidiaries referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “SiteOne,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) indirectly owns 100% of the membership interest in SiteOne Landscape Supply Holding, LLC (“Landscape Holding”). Landscape Holding is the parent and sole owner of SiteOne Landscape Supply, LLC (“Landscape”).

We are the largest and only national full product line wholesale distributor of landscape supplies in the United States and have a growing presence in Canada. Our customers are primarily residential and commercial landscape professionals who specialize in the design, installation, and maintenance of lawns, gardens, golf courses, and other outdoor spaces. As of July 2, 2023, we had over 650 branch locations in 45 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces. Through our expansive North American network, we offer a comprehensive selection of more than 155,000 SKUs, including irrigation supplies, fertilizer and control products (e.g., herbicides), hardscapes (including pavers, natural stone, and blocks), landscape accessories, nursery goods, outdoor lighting, and ice melt products to green industry professionals. We also provide value-added consultative services to complement our product offerings and to help our customers operate and grow their businesses.

Business Environment and Trends

Economic headwinds, which have resulted in declining prices and reduced demand, continued to be a challenge during the three and six months ended July 2, 2023. While weather conditions improved during the second quarter in certain of our key markets and helped drive volume growth for the three months ended July 2, 2023, particularly in our agronomic product lines, Organic Daily Sales growth was 2% for the first half of 2023 compared to 12% for the same period of 2022. We expect the current macroeconomic trends of higher interest rates, tightening financial markets, moderating price inflation, and deflation in select commodity products such as fertilizer, grass seed, and PVC pipe will continue to put pressure on Net sales growth for the remainder of 2023. Price contribution, which we estimate was a benefit of approximately 1% and 3% to our Organic Daily Sales growth for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, is expected to decline in the second half of the year. For the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, we achieved Net sales growth of 11% and 8%, respectively, primarily due to contributions from acquisitions, while Organic Daily Sales increased 4% and 2%, respectively, primarily from price inflation as well as resilient end market demand in the second quarter. Gross margin decreased 170 basis points and 70 basis points for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, primarily due to the absence of the large price realization benefit that was achieved in the same periods of 2022, partially offset by acquisitions with higher gross margins and lower freight costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased 18% and 22%, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, cost inflation, and higher operating expenses supporting our sales growth. Net income decreased 12% and 31%, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, primarily due to higher SG&A and lower gross margins, partially offset by Net sales growth.

Looking forward, the trend over the last three years of consumers spending more time at home and investing in their outdoor living spaces is expected to continue, although at lower levels. Sharp increases in home values, lack of affordable new homes, and higher mortgage interest rates have resulted in homeowners staying in their homes longer and upgrading their properties. The long-term outlook for the landscape supply industry remains strong driven by favorable population trends, housing demand, and increased interest in outdoor living. We are confident in the long-term growth opportunities of the landscape supply industry and our continued success providing our customers, suppliers, and shareholders exceptional value. We are the only national full product line wholesale distributor of landscape supplies in the United States. We are the industry leader and have a robust acquisition pipeline and a flexible business model. We remain committed to our strategic and operational initiatives and will continue to focus on driving growth organically and through acquisitions as well as margin expansion by leveraging our scale, resources, and capabilities. We are operational in four distribution center facilities across the United States that have expanded our supply chain capacity in 2023. Our West distribution center operations transitioned from Colton, California (179,000 square feet) to Goodyear, Arizona (392,000 square feet) in April 2023. We operate three other distribution centers that are located in Hutchins, Texas (338,000 square feet), Palmetto, Georgia (335,000 square feet), and Carlisle, Pennsylvania (201,000 square feet).

As we continue to navigate through the current uncertainty presented by market and economic conditions, we believe that we are prepared to meet the challenges ahead due to our balanced business, strong financial condition, dedicated and experienced teams, and focused business strategy. We are closely monitoring the impact of moderating prices and demand weakness resulting from the challenging market conditions described above as well as the potential effects of the war in Ukraine on our business and the related uncertainties and risks. These conditions are beyond our control, and we cannot estimate with certainty the full extent of their impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and/or financial condition. To mitigate the effects of these conditions, we may take actions that alter our business operations if required or that we determine are in the best interests of our associates, customers, suppliers, and shareholders. The forward-looking statements in this Business Environment and Trends section are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. See Part I, Item 1A. - “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023 for a discussion of the various risks that could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Presentation

Our financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use a 52/53 week fiscal year with the fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31 in each year. The fiscal years ending December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023 both include 52 weeks. Additionally, our fiscal quarters end on the Sunday nearest to March 31, June 30, and September 30, respectively. The three months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 both included 13 weeks. The six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 both included 26 weeks.

We manage our business as a single reportable segment. Within our organizational framework, the same operational resources support multiple geographic regions and performance is evaluated at a consolidated level. We also evaluate performance based on discrete financial information on a regional basis. Since all of our regions have similar operations and share similar economic characteristics, we aggregate regions into a single operating and reportable segment. These similarities include (i) long-term financial performance, (ii) the nature of products and services, (iii) the types of customers we sell to, and (iv) the distribution methods utilized. Further, all of our product categories have similar supply chain processes and classes of customers.

Key Business and Performance Metrics

We focus on a variety of indicators and key operating and financial metrics to monitor the financial condition and performance of our business. These metrics include:

Net sales. We generate Net sales primarily through the sale of landscape supplies, including irrigation supplies, fertilizer and control products, hardscapes, landscape accessories, nursery goods, outdoor lighting, and ice melt products to our customers who are primarily landscape contractors serving the residential and commercial construction sectors. Our Net sales include billings for freight and handling charges, and commissions on the sale of control products that we sell as an agent. Net sales are presented net of any discounts, returns, customer rebates, and sales or other revenue-based taxes.

Non-GAAP Organic Sales. In managing our business, we consider all growth, including the opening of new greenfield branches, to be organic growth unless it results from an acquisition. When we refer to Organic Sales growth, we include increases in growth from newly-opened greenfield branches and decreases in growth from closing existing branches but exclude increases in growth from acquired branches until they have been under our ownership for at least four full fiscal quarters at the start of the fiscal reporting period.

Non-GAAP Selling Days. Selling Days are defined as business days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, that our branches are open during the year. Depending upon the location and the season, our branches may be open on Saturdays and Sundays; however, for consistency, those days have been excluded from the calculation of Selling Days.

Non-GAAP Organic Daily Sales. We define Organic Daily Sales as Organic Sales divided by the number of Selling Days in the relevant reporting period. We believe Organic Sales growth and Organic Daily Sales growth are useful measures for evaluating our performance as we may choose to open or close branches in any given market depending upon the needs of our customers or our strategic growth opportunities. Refer to “Results of Operations – Quarterly Results of Operations Data” for a reconciliation of Organic Daily Sales to Net sales.

Table of Contents

Cost of goods sold. Our Cost of goods sold includes all inventory costs, such as the purchase price paid to suppliers, net of any volume-based incentives, as well as inbound freight and handling, and other costs associated with inventory. Our Cost of goods sold excludes the cost to deliver the products to our customers through our branches, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of goods sold is recognized primarily using the first-in, first-out method of accounting for the inventory sold.

Gross profit and gross margin. We believe that Gross profit and gross margin are useful for evaluating our operating performance. We define Gross profit as Net sales less Cost of goods sold. We define gross margin as Gross profit divided by Net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (operating expenses). Our operating expenses are primarily comprised of Selling, general and administrative costs, which include personnel expenses (salaries, wages, employee benefits, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation, and bonuses), rent, fuel, vehicle maintenance costs, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and professional fees. Operating expenses also include depreciation and amortization.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. In addition to the metrics discussed above, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful for evaluating the operating performance and efficiency of our business. EBITDA represents our Net income (loss) plus the sum of income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for items such as stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets and termination of finance leases not in the ordinary course of business, financing fees, as well as other fees and expenses related to acquisitions, and other non-recurring (income) loss. Refer to “Results of Operations – Quarterly Results of Operations Data” for more information regarding how we calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and the limitations of those metrics.

Key Factors Affecting Our Operating Results

In addition to the metrics described above, a number of other important factors may affect our results of operations in any given period.

Weather Conditions and Seasonality

In a typical year, our operating results are impacted by seasonality. Our Net sales and Net income have been higher in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year due to favorable weather and longer daylight conditions during these quarters. Our Net sales have been significantly lower in the first and fourth quarters due to lower landscaping, irrigation, and turf maintenance activities in these quarters, and historically, we have incurred net losses in these quarters. Seasonal variations in operating results may also be significantly impacted by inclement weather conditions, such as snow and ice storms, wet weather, and hurricanes, which not only impact the demand for certain products like fertilizer and ice melt, but also may delay construction projects where our products are used.

Industry and Key Economic Conditions

Our business depends on demand from customers for landscape products and services. The landscape supply industry includes a significant amount of landscape products, such as irrigation systems, outdoor lighting, lawn care supplies, nursery goods, and landscape accessories, for use in the construction of newly built homes, commercial buildings, and recreational spaces. The landscape supply industry has historically grown in line with rates of growth in residential housing and commercial building. The industry is also affected by trends in home prices, mortgage interest rates, home sales, and consumer spending. As general economic conditions improve or deteriorate, consumption of these products and services also tends to fluctuate. The landscape supply industry also includes a significant amount of agronomic products such as fertilizer, herbicides, and ice melt for use in maintaining existing landscapes or facilities. The use of these products is also tied to general economic activity, but levels of sales are not as closely correlated to construction markets.

Popular Consumer Trends

Preferences in housing, lifestyle, and environmental awareness can also impact the overall level of demand and mix for the products we offer. Examples of current trends we believe are important to our business include an ongoing interest in professional landscape services inspired by the popularity of home and garden television shows, magazines, and social media, the increasingly popular concept of “outdoor living,” which has been a key driver of sales growth for our hardscapes and outdoor lighting products, and the social focus on eco-friendly products that promote water conservation, energy efficiency, and the adoption of “green” standards.

Table of Contents

Acquisitions

In addition to our organic growth, we continue to grow our business through acquisitions in an effort to better service our existing customers and to attract new customers. These acquisitions have allowed us to further broaden our product lines and extend our geographic reach and leadership positions in local markets. In accordance with GAAP, the results of the acquisitions are reflected in our financial statements from the date of acquisition forward.

Volume-Based Pricing

We generally procure our products through purchase orders rather than under long-term contracts with firm commitments. We work to develop strong relationships with select suppliers that we target based on a number of factors, including brand and market recognition, price, quality, product support, service levels, delivery terms, and strategic positioning. We typically have annual supplier agreements, and while they generally do not provide for specific product pricing, many include volume-based financial incentives that we earn by meeting or exceeding purchase volume targets. Our ability to earn these volume-based incentives is an important factor in our financial results. In certain cases, we have entered into supply contracts with terms that exceed one year for the manufacture of our LESCO® branded fertilizer, some nursery goods, and grass seed, which may require us to purchase products in the future.

Strategic Initiatives

We continue to undertake initiatives, utilizing our scale to improve our profitability, enhance supply chain efficiency, strengthen our pricing and category management capabilities, streamline and refine our marketing process, and invest in more sophisticated information technology systems and data analytics. We are focusing on our procurement and supply chain management initiatives to better serve our customers and reduce sourcing costs. We are also implementing new inventory planning and stocking system functionalities and new transportation management systems in an effort to reduce costs as well as improve our reliability and level of service. In addition, we continue to enhance our website and B2B e-Commerce platform. We also work closely with our local branches to improve sales, delivery, and branch productivity. We believe we will continue to benefit from the following initiatives, among others:

•Category management initiatives, including the implementation of organic growth strategies, the development of our private label product strategy, the expansion of product lines, and the reorganization of brands and products by preferred suppliers.

•Supply chain initiatives, including the implementation of new inventory planning and stocking systems and functionalities, the installation of new distribution centers, local hubs in large markets, and local fleet utilization and cost improvements.

•Sales force performance initiatives, including the implementation of new compensation plans, the restructuring of our sales force, formal sales and product training for our sales force and sales force management, and the implementation of a comprehensive CRM.

•Marketing initiatives, including product marketing, customer strategy and analytics, Hispanic customer engagement, implementation of our digital marketing strategy, and our updated Partners Program.

•Digital initiatives, including increasing customer demand and adoption of our website and B2B e-Commerce platform SiteOne.com, which provides the convenience of an online sales channel, enhanced account management functionality, and industry specific productivity tools for our customers.

•Operational excellence initiatives, including the implementation of best practices in branch operations which encompasses safety, merchandising, stocking and assortment, customer engagement, delivery, labor management, as well as the additional automation and enhancement of branch systems, including the rollout of barcoding.

Working Capital

Our business is characterized by a relatively high level of reported working capital, the effects of which can be compounded by changes in prices. In addition to affecting our Net sales, fluctuations in prices of supplies tend to result in changes in our reported inventories, trade receivables, and trade payables, even when our sales volumes and our rate of turnover of these working capital items remain relatively constant. Our working capital needs are exposed to these price fluctuations, as well as to fluctuations in our cost for transportation and distribution. We may not always be able to reflect these increases in our pricing. The strategic initiatives described above are designed to reduce our exposure to these fluctuations and maintain and improve our efficiency.

Results of Operations

In the following discussion of our results of operations, we make comparisons between the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 (in millions, except percentages).



	Consolidated Statements of Operations
	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	July 2, 2023				July 3, 2022				July 2, 2023				July 3, 2022

Net income	$	124.0	9.2	%	$	140.7	11.6	%	$	119.5	5.5	%	$	173.0	8.6	%

Net sales

Net sales increased 11% to $1,353.7 million for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $1,216.6 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022, and increased 8% to $2,191.1 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $2,021.9 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. These increases were primarily due to contributions from acquisitions. Organic Daily Sales increased 4% in the second quarter of 2023 due primarily to solid demand in our end markets and 2% for the six months ended July 2, 2023 as a result of price inflation, compared to the prior year periods. Based upon year-over-year price increases in our highest selling SKUs, we estimate price inflation contributed approximately 1% and 3% to our Organic Daily Sales growth for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively. Organic Daily Sales for landscaping products (irrigation supplies, hardscapes, landscape accessories, nursery goods, and outdoor lighting) grew 5% in the second quarter of 2023 and 4% in the first half of 2023 due primarily to price inflation resulting from rising product costs. Organic Daily Sales for agronomic products (fertilizer, control products, ice melt, equipment, and other products) increased 2% in the second quarter of 2023 due to higher volume resulting from the late start to the spring selling season, partially offset by lower prices for fertilizer and seed products. Organic Daily Sales for agronomic products decreased 3% for the first half of 2023 due primarily to lower prices as increased volume in the second quarter of 2023 was largely offset by reduced volume in the first quarter of 2023. Acquisitions contributed $86.1 million, or 7%, to the Net sales growth for the second quarter of 2023, and $142.6 million, or 7%, to the Net sales growth for the six months ended July 2, 2023.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold increased 14% to $864.3 million for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $755.5 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022, and increased 10% to $1,414.6 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $1,291.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase in Cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 was primarily attributable to acquisitions and product cost inflation.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit increased 6% to $489.4 million for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $461.1 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022, and increased 6% to $776.5 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $730.3 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. Gross profit growth for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 was driven by Net sales growth, including acquisitions. Gross margin decreased 170 basis points to 36.2% in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 37.9% in the second quarter of 2022 and decreased 70 basis points to 35.4% for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to 36.1% for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The decrease in gross margin primarily reflects the absence of the large price realization benefit in the first half of 2022, partially offset by lower freight costs and contributions from acquisitions with higher gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SG&A increased 18% to $320.6 million for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $272.7 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022, and increased 22% to $612.0 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $503.2 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. SG&A as a percentage of Net sales increased 130 basis points to 23.7% for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to 22.4% for the three months ended July 3, 2022, and increased 300 basis points to 27.9% for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to 24.9% for the six months ended July 3, 2022. These increases were primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, cost inflation, and higher operating expenses supporting our sales growth. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.9 million to $31.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2023, compared to $23.1 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022, and increased $17.0 million to $61.8 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $44.8 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 was primarily attributable to our acquisitions.

Interest and other non-operating expenses, net

Interest and other non-operating expenses, net increased $2.7 million to $7.3 million for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $4.6 million for three months ended July 3, 2022, and increased $5.3 million to $14.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $8.9 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased borrowings and a higher average interest rate during the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to the same periods of 2022.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $40.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $44.8 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022. The effective tax rate was 24.4% for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to 24.2% for the three months ended July 3, 2022. The increase in the effective rate was due primarily to a decrease in the amount of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation recognized as a component of Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Excess tax benefits of $1.1 million were recognized for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022.

Income tax expense was $37.3 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $49.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The effective tax rate was 23.8% for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to 22.2% for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase in the effective rate was due primarily to a decrease in the amount of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation recognized as a component of Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Excess tax benefits of $1.9 million were recognized for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $7.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022.

Net income

Net income decreased $16.7 million to $124.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $140.7 million for the three months ended July 3, 2022, and decreased $53.5 million to $119.5 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $173.0 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The decline in Net income for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 was primarily due to higher SG&A and decreased gross margin, partially offset by an increase in Net sales.

_____________________________________

(a) In addition to our Net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to evaluate the operating performance and efficiency of our business. EBITDA represents our Net income (loss) plus the sum of income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense, net of interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of assets and termination of finance leases not in the ordinary course of business, financing fees, as well as other fees and expenses related to acquisitions, and other non-recurring (income) loss. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because:

•Adjusted EBITDA is used to test compliance with certain covenants under our long-term debt agreements;

•Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA measure when reporting their results;

•Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting operating trends, because it excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and that can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate, age and book depreciation of facilities, and capital investments;

•we consider (gains) losses on the acquisition, disposal, and impairment of assets as resulting from investing decisions rather than ongoing operations; and

•other significant non-recurring items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of our results.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income, operating income, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of Adjusted EBITDA instead of Net income has limitations as an analytical tool. For example, this measure:

•does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•does not reflect our interest expense, net, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

•does not reflect our Income tax (benefit) expense or the cash requirements to pay our income taxes;

•does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; and

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the GAAP results and by using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (in millions):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our cash and cash equivalents on hand and the ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities, repurchase shares, and service our debt, taking into consideration available borrowings and the seasonal nature of our business. We expect that cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash provided from operations, and available capacity under the ABL Facility will provide sufficient funds to operate our business, make capital expenditures, complete acquisitions and share repurchases, and meet all of our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months, including payment of interest and principal on our debt. Longer-term projects or significant investments in acquisitions may be financed through borrowings under our credit facilities or other forms of financing and will depend on then-existing conditions.

In October 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization for up to $400.0 million of our common stock. We intend to purchase shares under the repurchase authorization from time to time on the open market at the discretion of management, subject to strategic considerations, market conditions, and other factors. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be amended, suspended, or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time. During the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, we did not repurchase shares under the share repurchase program. As of July 2, 2023, the dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the share repurchase authorization was $375.0 million.

Our borrowing base capacity under the ABL Facility was $454.4 million as of July 2, 2023, after giving effect to $131.3 million of revolving credit loans under the ABL Facility and outstanding letters of credit of $14.3 million. Our borrowing base capacity under the ABL Facility was $487.4 million as of January 1, 2023, after giving effect to $100.0 million of revolving credit loans under the ABL Facility and outstanding letters of credit of $11.5 million. As of July 2, 2023, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $69.6 million, total gross long-term debt of $385.4 million, and total finance lease obligations (excluding interest) of $74.5 million.

Working capital was $903.1 million as of July 2, 2023, an increase of $143.6 million compared to $759.5 million as of January 1, 2023. The change in working capital was primarily attributable to the seasonality of our business.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes current and long-term material cash requirements related to our long-term debt as of July 2, 2023 (in millions):


	Total		Next 12 Months		Beyond 12 Months
Long-term debt, including current maturities	$	385.4	$	4.1	$	381.3
Interest on long-term debt	$	109.0	$	18.2	$	90.8

Our gross long-term debt balance increased $29.3 million since January 1, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to funding the seasonal increase in our working capital and our acquisition investments. We have current maturities on our long-term debt of $4.1 million, which includes $2.6 million related to the term loan facility and $1.5 million related to the hybrid debt instruments. The projected interest payments on our debt only pertain to obligations and agreements outstanding as of July 2, 2023 and expected payments for agent administration fees. The projected interest payments are calculated for future periods through maturity dates of our long-term debt using interest rates in effect as of July 2, 2023. Certain of these projected interest payments may differ in the future based on changes in floating interest rates or other factors and events, including our entry into amendments of the term loans and the ABL Facility. The interest on long-term debt balance increased $11.1 million since January 1, 2023, primarily due to the increase in borrowings under the ABL Facility and rising interest rates. Refer to “Note 9. Long-Term Debt” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our debt instruments.

Cash Flow Summary

Information about our cash flows, by category, is presented in our statements of cash flows and is summarized below (in millions):



	Six Months Ended
Net cash provided by (used in):	July 2, 2023		July 3, 2022
Operating activities	$	101.2	$	(23.6)
Investing activities	$	(74.9)	$	(144.7)
Financing activities	$	14.0	$	164.9

Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 2, 2023 was $101.2 million compared to Net cash used in operating activities of $23.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to improved working capital management reflecting our progress in reducing inventory levels that we increased in prior periods in response to supply chain uncertainty.

Cash flow used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $74.9 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $144.7 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The decrease reflects lower acquisition investments in the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Capital expenditures were $16.3 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $16.6 million for the same period of 2022 due to decreased investment in material handling equipment used in our branches.

Cash flow provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.0 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to $164.9 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The decrease primarily reflects higher repayments on the ABL Facility as a result of lower investments in working capital and acquisitions during the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Term Loans

Landscape Holding and Landscape, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the (“Fifth Amendment”), dated as of March 23, 2021, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “New Agent”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, the several banks and other financial institutions party thereto, and certain other parties party thereto from time to time. The Fifth Amendment amends and restates the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2016, among the Borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and UBS AG, Stamford Branch (the “Existing Agent”) as administrative agent and collateral agent (as amended prior to March 23, 2021, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as so amended and restated pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) in order to, among other things, incur $325.0 million of term loans (the “New Term Loans”). The New Term Loans mature on March 23, 2028.

On March 27, 2023, Landscape Holding, as representative for the Borrowers, entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in lieu of LIBOR.

Subject to certain conditions, without the consent of the then existing lenders (but subject to the receipt of commitments), the New Term Loans may be increased (or a new term loan facility, revolving credit facility, or letter of credit facility added) by up to (i) the greater of (a) $275.0 million and (b) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for the trailing 12-month period plus (ii) an additional amount that will not cause the net secured leverage ratio after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount and any use of proceeds thereof to exceed 4.00 to 1.00.

The New Term Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment provisions, covenants, and events of default. Failure to comply with these covenants and other provisions could result in an event of default under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the New Term Loans to be immediately due and payable and enforce their interest in collateral pledged under the agreement.

Amendments of the Term Loans

On March 27, 2023, Landscape Holding entered into Sixth Amendment, which amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in lieu of LIBOR. The New Term Loans bear interest, at Landscape Holding’s option, at either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00% (with a Term SOFR floor of 0.50% on initial term loans and 0.00% on all other term loans) or (ii) an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.00%. Voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, subject to a 1.00% premium payable in connection with certain repricing transactions if the transactions occurred within the first 12 months after the date of the initial funding of the New Term Loans. The interest rate on the outstanding balance of the New Terms Loans was 7.21697% as of July 2, 2023.

On March 23, 2021, the Borrowers entered into the Fifth Amendment in order to, among other things, (i) incur $325.0 million of term loans, (ii) replace the Existing Agent as administrative and collateral agent with the New Agent, and (iii) make such other changes in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as agreed among the Borrowers and the lenders. Proceeds of the New Term Loans were used to, among other things, (i) to repay in full the term loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment (the “Tranche E Term Loans”), (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Fifth Amendment and the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Subsequent Event

On July 12, 2023, Landscape Holding, entered into the Increase Supplement (the “Increase Supplement”) by and between Landscape Holding, as borrower representative, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as increasing lender (the “Increasing Lender”), to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Increase Supplement provides for an additional $120.0 million of New Term Loans and makes such other changes to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as agreed between Landscape Holding and the Increasing Lender. Proceeds of the term loans borrowed pursuant to the Increase Supplement were used, among other things, to (i) repay certain loans outstanding under the ABL Facility and (ii) pay fees and expenses related to the Increase Supplement. After giving effect to the borrowing pursuant to the Increase Supplement, the aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement on July 12, 2023 was $371.5 million. The maturity date of the New Term Loans of March 23, 2028 did not change as a result of the Increase Supplement.

ABL Facility

Landscape Holding and Landscape (collectively, the “ABL Borrowers”) are parties to the credit agreement dated December 23, 2013 (as amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated June 13, 2014, the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated January 26, 2015, the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated February 13, 2015, the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated October 20, 2015, the Omnibus Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated May 24, 2017, the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated February 1, 2019, and the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated July 22, 2022, the “ABL Credit Agreement”) providing for an asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) of up to $600.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability, with a maturity date of July 22, 2027. The ABL Facility is secured by a first lien on the inventory and receivables of the ABL Borrowers. The ABL Facility is guaranteed by SiteOne Landscape Supply Bidco, Inc. (“Bidco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and each direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of Landscape. Availability is determined using borrowing base calculations of eligible inventory and receivable balances less the current outstanding ABL Facility and letters of credit balances.

Table of Contents

On July 22, 2022, the ABL Borrowers, entered into the Seventh Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Seventh Amendment amended and restated the ABL Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the commitments to $600.0 million, (ii) extend the final scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to July 22, 2027, (iii) establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR rate, (iv) replace the administrative and collateral agent, and (v) make such other changes as agreed among the ABL Borrowers and the lenders. Proceeds of the initial borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement on the closing date of the Seventh Amendment were used, among other things, (i) to repay in full the loans outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Seventh Amendment, (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Seventh Amendment and the ABL Credit Agreement, and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Loans under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest, at Landscape Holding’s option, at either (i) an adjusted term SOFR rate equal to term SOFR plus 0.10% (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin of 1.25% or 1.50% or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25% or 0.50%, in each case depending on average daily excess availability under the ABL Credit Agreement, and in each case subject to a 0.125% reduction when the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) is less than 1.50:1.00. Additionally, undrawn commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement bear a commitment fee of 0.20% or 0.25%, depending on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement. The interest rate on outstanding balances under the ABL Facility ranged from 6.44059% to 6.45249% as of July 2, 2023 and ranged from 5.68561% to 5.77336% as of January 1, 2023. Additionally, the ABL Borrowers paid a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unfunded amount as of July 2, 2023 and a commitment fee of 0.20% on the unfunded amount as of January 1, 2023.

The ABL Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments if the outstanding loans and letters of credit exceed either the aggregate revolving commitments or the current borrowing base, in an amount equal to such excess. Additionally, the ABL Facility is subject to various covenants, including incurrence covenants that require the Company to meet minimum financial ratios, and additional borrowings and other corporate transactions may be limited by failure to meet these financial ratios. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interest in collateral pledged under the agreement, or restrict the ABL Borrowers’ ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements. The ABL Facility is secured by a first lien security interest over inventory and receivables and a second lien security interest over all other assets pledged as collateral.

Subject to certain conditions and subject to the receipt of commitments, the ABL Facility may be increased (or a new term loan facility added) by up to (i) the greater of (a) $450.0 million and (b) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) for the period of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such determination plus (ii) an additional amount that will not cause the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount and any use of proceeds thereof to exceed 5.00 to 1.00.

There are no financial covenants included in the ABL Credit Agreement, other than a springing minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00, which is tested only when specified availability is less than 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the then applicable borrowing base and (y) the then aggregate effective commitments under the ABL Facility, and continuing until such time as specified availability has been in excess of such threshold for a period of 20 consecutive calendar days.

Failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions included in the ABL Credit Agreement could result in an event of default under the ABL Facility. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interest in collateral pledged under the agreement, or restrict the ABL Borrowers’ ability to obtain additional borrowings thereunder.

Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries

The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions and dividends to us depends on their operating results, cash requirements, financial condition, and general business conditions, as well as restrictions under the laws of our subsidiaries’ jurisdictions.

The agreements governing the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans, or otherwise transfer assets to us. Further, our subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends, or the making of loans to us.

Interest Rate Swaps

We are subject to interest rate risk with regard to existing and future issuances of debt. We utilize interest rate swap contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates for future interest payments on existing debt. We are party to interest rate swap contracts to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate on portions of the borrowings under the term loans.

On March 31, 2023, we amended the terms of our interest rate swaps to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in place of LIBOR. Since the interest rate swaps were affected by reference rate reform, we applied the expedients and exceptions provided in Topic 848 to preserve the past presentation of our derivatives without de-designating the existing hedging relationships. All interest rate swap amendments were executed with the existing counterparties and did not change the notional amounts, maturity dates, or other critical terms of the hedging relationships. The interest rate swaps will continue to be net settled on a quarterly basis with the counterparties for the difference between the fixed rates and the variable rates based upon three-month Term SOFR (subject to a floor) as applied to the notional amounts of each interest rate swap.

During the first quarter of 2021, we amended and restructured certain of our interest rate swap contracts using a strategy commonly referred to as a “blend and extend”. In a blend and extend arrangement, the liability position of the existing interest rate swap arrangement is blended into the amended or new interest rate swap arrangement and the term to maturity of the hedged position is extended. We reclassified $5.9 million from Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities to long-term debt with $1.5 million classified as Long-term debt, current portion and $4.4 million classified as Long-term debt, less current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets since the interest rate swap arrangements executed during the first quarter of 2021 were determined to be hybrid debt instruments containing embedded at-market swap derivatives. As of July 2, 2023, approximately $1.5 million was classified as Long-term debt, current portion and approximately $1.1 million was classified as Long-term debt, less current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We recognize any differences between the variable interest rate payments and the fixed interest rate settlements from the swap counterparties as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the swaps. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and record the changes in the estimated fair value of the swaps to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. If it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, the hedge relationship will be de-designated and amounts accumulated in AOCI will be reclassified to Interest and other non-operating expenses, net in the current period. To the extent the interest rate swaps are determined to be ineffective, we recognize the changes in the estimated fair value of the swaps in earnings.

Failure of the swap counterparties to make payments would result in the loss of any potential benefit to us under the swap agreements. In this case, we would still be obligated to pay the variable interest payments underlying the debt agreements. Additionally, failure of the swap counterparties would not eliminate our obligation to continue to make payments under the existing swap agreements if they were in a net pay position.

4.Expense Reimbursement. Each director shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending Board meetings and committee meetings.

5.Equity Retainer. Each director shall receive an annual equity award of deferred share units or restricted stock units with a fair market value equal to $130,000 on the date of the grant, as determined under the Company’s Equity Plan (as defined below). This annual equity grant shall be made on the day of the Company’s annual shareholder meeting as a prospective award (i.e., for the coming year of service). The type of annual equity award granted (i.e., restricted stock units or deferred share units) shall depend on whether the director has met the stock ownership and retention requirements of the Company’s Non-Employee Director Equity Ownership Policy (the “Stock Ownership Policy”) on the applicable date of grant. The restricted stock units and deferred share units will be subject to the terms and condition of the award agreement and Equity Plan.

a.Directors who have satisfied the requirements of the Stock Ownership Policy on the date of grant shall receive an annual grant of restricted stock units. Restricted stock units shall vest on the earlier to occur of (a) the day preceding the next annual shareholder meeting at which directors are elected, or (b) the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case subject to the director’s continued service as a non-employee director or other service provider. If a termination occurs prior to the end of the vesting period due to a voluntary resignation from the board or involuntary removal without cause, a prorated portion of the deferred share units will become vested. If the director’s termination occurs due to death or disability, or a change in control occurs prior to the termination of the director’s service, the deferred share units will become fully vested.

If a termination occurs prior to the end of the vesting period due to a voluntary resignation from the board or involuntary removal without cause, a prorated portion of the deferred share units will become vested. If the director’s termination occurs due to death or disability, or a change in control occurs prior to the termination of the director’s service, the deferred share units will become fully

vested. Vested deferred share units granted to non-employee directors shall settle into the Company’s common stock following the earlier to occur of (i) the director receiving the grant has ceased to serve as a non-employee director on the Board or other service provider and (ii) a change in control within the parameters of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”).

6.Compensation for New Directors. Any new non-employee director who joins the Board will be entitled to prorated compensation, in both cash and equity, for the year in which he or she joins the Board.
