Boyd Group Income Fund Notes Impact of Hurricane Irma – Announces Temporary Closure of Florida and Coastal Georgia Collision Repair Centers

Winnipeg, Manitoba – September 8, 2017 – Boyd Group Income Fund (TSX: BYD.UN) (“the Fund” or “the Boyd Group”) announced today that 55 of its 58 Gerber Collision & Glass (“Gerber”) locations in the state of Florida and three coastal Georgia locations have been closed to allow employees to prepare for the impact of Hurricane Irma.

“This decision was made to allow our employees and customers to focus on ensuring they and their families are safe,” said Brock Bulbuck, CEO of the Fund. “Once the hurricane has passed we will support our local teams in evaluating the damage and resuming operations as soon as practicable. Our priority, however, will continue to be the well-being of our employees.”

Of the Boyd Group’s 480 locations, 58 are currently being impacted by closures. In addition to the closures in Florida and Georgia thus far, it is also possible that additional closures may be necessary in other parts of Georgia, and even possibly in coastal North Carolina.

The location closings will result in loss of sales during the period of closure, however the overall magnitude of sales and earnings loss will not be determinable until the storm passes, the locations reopen and all of the variables associated with this event, including the availability of insurance can be fully assessed. An estimate of the full impact of these closures should be available for disclosure when the Fund’s third quarter earnings report is released on November 8.

“Our thoughts are with those affected by this devastating event,” added Mr. Bulbuck. “We will continue to monitor the direct impact of the storm on our locations and provide support as needed for our employees and customers.”
