WINNIPEG, MB, Oct. 4, 2022 /CNW/ - Boyd Group Services Inc. (TSX: BYD.TO) ("the Boyd Group", "Boyd" or "the Company") announced that nearly all Gerber Collision & Glass ("Gerber") locations that were temporarily closed in the states of Florida and South Carolina have now re-opened. In total, 62 collision locations were ultimately impacted by temporary closures as well as the Florida Glass America business. As of today, four collision locations in Southwest Florida remain closed, and may remain closed for several weeks. Where practical, staff have been reassigned to alternate locations that were less severely impacted.

"We are pleased to report that all of our employees have come through this storm safely," said Timothy O'Day, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Boyd Group. "We will continue to support them as they come together to rebuild and recover from this devastating event. Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the impact of Hurricane Ian."

"These events will modestly impact our third and fourth quarter results," said Timothy O'Day, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Boyd Group. "In addition to lost production and sales during the closures, we will also have the impact of some additional costs, as well as disruption to the business both before and after the closures. Our teams are currently assessing the full impact of the storm and we will provide further details when we announce our third quarter earnings results on November 9th."

"We are relieved that most of our locations have been able to re-open and look forward to having these locations back to full staffing and capacity in the near future," added Mr. O'Day. "We thank all of our employees for getting these locations back up and running so quickly and for their continuing commitment to serving our customers and insurance partners with the highest levels of service and quality."
