FirstService Corporation (TSX:FSV) operates through two segments: FirstService Residential and FirstService Brands. The Residential segment manages service contracts for thousands of residential communities, spanning high-, mid-, and low-rise condominiums as well as co-operatives, and contributes the majority of the company’s revenue.

Operating earnings declined 8.2% year-on-year to USD 115.6 million, while net earnings fell 8.8% to USD 70.9 million, primarily due to margin pressure in the Brands segment and the absence of prior-year one-time benefits. In contrast, net cash provided by operating activities rose to USD 126.4 million from USD 77.0 million, highlighting improved cash conversion and working capital management.
