PHOENIX, Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. ("WillScot Mobile Mini" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:WSC), the North American leader in innovative flexible space and storage solutions, today announced third quarter 2023 results and provided an update on operations and the current market environment, including the following highlights:

Third quarter revenue increased 5% to $605 million, income from continuing operations increased 17% to $92 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% year-over-year to $266 million.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin from continuing operations of 43.9% expanded 250 basis points year-over-year.
Generated Free Cash Flow of $148 million, up 77% year-over-year, and Free Cash Flow Margin of 24%.
Invested $333 million of capital in two acquisitions during the quarter, with $494 million invested over last 12 months.
Returned $220 million to shareholders by repurchasing 5.0 million shares of Common Stock during the quarter, reducing economic share count by 9.2% over the last twelve months as of September 30, 2023¹.
Generated 18% Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") over the last 12 months, which increased approximately 380 basis points year-over-year.
The Company will host an investor Day on March 4, 2024. Details will be provided at a later date.

Brad Soultz, Chief Executive Officer of WillScot Mobile Mini, commented, "Our team delivered excellent financial results in the quarter, driven by continued strength in pricing and Value-Added Products (VAPS) penetration with volumes in line with our expectations."

Soultz continued, "We are generating record Free Cash Flow, with $148 million in Q3 2023 and $533 million over the last 12 months. At the midpoint of our revised guidance, we expect to generate approximately $550 million of Free Cash Flow in 2023, up over 150% since our November 2021 Investor Day. And over the same time horizon, we reduced our economic share count by almost 20% to 193 million common shares outstanding. Our ability to drive Free Cash Flow while reinvesting in our business organically, inorganically, and in our stock illustrates how we generate consistent compound returns over time."

Soultz concluded, "Over the last 12 months, we reinvested $494 million in tuck-in acquisitions. In particular, we made some exciting additions to our portfolio of flexible space solutions with the build-out of North America's leading cold storage leasing platform in Q3 and the addition of a premium large clearspan structures platform in October. These are high-growth categories that complement our existing modular and storage capabilities and extend the spectrum of space solutions available to our customers. With leadership positions in both categories, we expect to scale and grow these businesses meaningfully, building on our unrivaled commercial and operating capabilities and as part of our fully integrated space solutions offering. Along with other recent acquisitions, these expansions will provide for additional growth levers above and beyond the $1 billion of idiosyncratic growth levers which are already in flight."

Third Quarter 2023 Results²

Tim Boswell, President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow margin, and Return on Invested Capital accelerated in Q3 2023 and are all performing at record levels heading into 2024. Our excellent financial performance in the quarter was driven by continued strength in pricing across our portfolio, growing Valued-Added Products (VAPS) penetration, outstanding margin performance across all revenue streams, and continued cost discipline. Revenue of $605 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $266 million increased 5% and 11% year-over-year, respectively, with Adjusted EBITDA margin compressing sequentially from increased activation volumes and up 250 basis points from 2022, as expected."

Boswell concluded, "At the midpoint of guidance in 2023, we expect to generate approximately $1,058 million of Adjusted EBITDA. And as we head into 2024, we have high confidence in our $1 billion of idiosyncratic growth levers, as well as incremental opportunities from the recent product line additions that we are actively scaling. We look forward to discussing both existing and new opportunities for value creation across our portfolio at our Investor Day on March 4, 2024, in New York."

Consolidated Q3 2023 Results From Continuing Operations

Revenue of $605 million increased by 5% year-over-year driven by our organic revenue growth initiatives and the impact of acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations was 43.9% in the third quarter of 2023 and increased 250 bps versus prior year driven by continued expansion of most margin lines. Most significantly, leasing margins increased 280 bps versus prior year and delivery and installation margins increased 120 bps versus prior year, both driven by increased pricing and variable cost efficiencies.

Revenue of $388 million increased by 7% year-over-year.

2023 Outlook^{2, 3, 4}

This guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those described in "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

$M	2022 Results From Continuing Operations	Prior 2023 Outlook	Current 2023 Outlook
Revenue	$2,143	$2,350 - $2,450	$2,360 - $2,390
Adjusted EBITDA^2,3	$884	$1,025 - $1,075	$1,050 - $1,065
Net CAPEX^3,4	$367	$250 - $300	$225 - $275

1 - Assumes common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023 versus common shares outstanding plus warrants outstanding under the treasury stock method as of September 30, 2022 and the closing stock price of $41.59 on September 30, 2023.

2 - Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Margin, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, and Return on Invested Capital are non-GAAP financial measures. Further information and reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles in the US ("GAAP") are included at the end of this press release.

3 - Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX to GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort and therefore neither the most comparable GAAP measures nor reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided.

4 - Net CAPEX is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release.

5 - Free Cash Flow incorporates results from discontinued operations. For comparability, reported revenue is adjusted to include results from discontinued operations to calculate Free Cash Flow Margin.

6 - During the first quarter of 2023, the ground level office business within the Modular segment was transferred to the Storage segment, and associated revenues, expenses, and operating metrics were transferred to the Storage segment. All periods presented have been retrospectively revised to reflect this change within the Modular and Storage segments. See further discussion within the Unaudited Segment Operating Data tables included at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Margin, Return on Invested Capital, Net CAPEX and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus net interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business operations, including net currency gains and losses, goodwill and other impairment charges, restructuring costs, costs to integrate acquired companies, costs incurred related to transactions, non-cash charges for stock compensation plans, gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value and extinguishment of common stock warrant liabilities, and other discrete expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of, and proceeds from, rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by revenue. Return on Invested Capital is defined as adjusted earnings before interest and amortization divided by net assets. Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization is the sum of income (loss) before income tax expense, net interest (income) expense, amortization adjusted for non-cash items considered non-core to business operations including net currency (gains) losses, goodwill and other impairment charges, restructuring costs, costs to integrate acquired companies, non-cash charges for stock compensation plans, gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value and extinguishment of common stock warrant liabilities, and other discrete expenses, reduced by our estimated statutory tax rate. Given we are not a significant US taxpayer due to our current tax attributes, we include estimated taxes at our current statutory tax rate of approximately 26%. Net assets is total assets less goodwill and intangible assets, net and all non-interest bearing liabilities and is calculated as a five quarter average. Net CAPEX is defined as purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments and purchases of property, plant and equipment (collectively, "Total Capital Expenditures"), less proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment (collectively, "Total Proceeds"), which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors because they (i) allow investors to compare performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance; (ii) are used by our board of directors and management to assess our performance; (iii) may, subject to the limitations described below, enable investors to compare the performance of the Company to its competitors; (iv) provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends; and (v) align with definitions in our credit agreement. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are useful to investors because they allow investors to compare cash generation performance over various reporting periods and against peers. The Company believes that Return on Invested Capital provides information about the long-term health and profitability of the business relative to the Company's cost of capital. The Company believes that the presentation of Net CAPEX provides useful information to investors regarding the net capital invested into our rental fleet and plant, property and equipment each year to assist in analyzing the performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. For reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release (except as explained below), see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in this press release.

Information regarding the most comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to those GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. We cannot provide the most comparable GAAP financial measures nor reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. Although we provide a range of Adjusted EBITDA that we believe will be achieved, we cannot accurately predict all the components of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above.

Unaudited Segment Operating Data

The Company operates in two reportable segments: Modular and Storage. Modular represents the activities of the North American modular business, excluding ground level offices, which were transferred to the Storage segment during the first quarter of 2023. Storage represents the activities of the North American portable storage and ground level office business. All periods presented have been retrospectively revised to reflect this change within the Modular and Storage segments. Effective January 1, 2023, we transferred approximately 6,000 Ground Level Office (GLO) modular products from the Modular Solutions segment to our Storage Solutions segment. We transferred these legacy WillScot GLOs to the Storage Solutions segment because they are modified container products that can be operated more efficiently on the legacy Mobile Mini branch and logistics infrastructure. The adjustment transferred approximately $49.8 million of revenue and $20.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA on an annualized basis from Modular Solutions to Storage Solutions. We recast historical segment financial results and operating key performance indicators (KPIs) to reflect this transfer.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, this transfer resulted in approximately $13.3 million of revenue, $7.3 million of gross profit, and $5.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA being transferred from the Modular segment to the Storage segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, this resulted in approximately $36.8 million of revenue, $20.9 million of gross profit, and $14.8 million of Adjusted EBITDA being transferred from the Modular segment to the Storage segment. As part of the transfer, we adjusted average monthly rental rate for modular units (Ground Level Offices) in the Storage segment to incorporate Value-Added Products specifically applicable to Ground Level Offices.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use certain non-GAAP financial information that we believe is important for purposes of comparison to prior periods and development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of our ongoing operations and analyze our business performance and trends.

We evaluate business segment performance on Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items as described below. We believe that evaluating segment performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company.

We also regularly evaluate gross profit by segment to assist in the assessment of the operational performance of each operating segment. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be the more important metric because it more fully captures the business performance of the segments, inclusive of indirect costs.

We also evaluate Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure that provides useful information concerning cash flow available to fund our capital allocation alternatives.

Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), net interest (income) expense, depreciation and amortization adjusted for certain items not related to our core business operations:

Currency (gains) losses, net: on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the subsidiaries' functional currency.
Goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet and property, plant and equipment.
Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense, and other related charges associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations and reduce costs including employee termination costs.
Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.
Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee training costs, and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.
Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value and extinguishment of common stock warrant liabilities.
Other expense, including consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense, and gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider the measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow from operations or other methods of analyzing the Company's results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to meet our obligations.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of, and proceeds from, rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Total Revenue including discontinued operations. Management believes that the presentation of Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to fund our capital allocation alternatives. Free Cash Flow as presented includes amounts for the former Tank and Pump segment through September 30, 2022 and the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023.

Return on Invested Capital

Return on Invested Capital is defined as adjusted earnings before interest and amortization divided by net assets. Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization is the sum of income (loss) before income tax expense, net interest (income) expense, amortization adjusted for non-cash items considered non-core to business operations including net currency (gains) losses, goodwill and other impairment charges, restructuring costs, costs to integrate acquired companies, non-cash charges for stock compensation plans, gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value and extinguishment of common stock warrant liabilities, and other discrete expenses, reduced by estimated taxes. Given we are not a significant US taxpayer due to our current tax attributes, we include estimated taxes at our current statutory tax rate of approximately 26% effective in 2023. Net assets is total assets less goodwill, and intangible assets, net and all non-interest bearing liabilities. Denominator is calculated as a four quarter average for annual metrics and two quarter average for quarterly metrics.

The following table provides unaudited reconciliations of Return on Invested Capital. Average Invested Capital and Adjusted EBITDA related to our former Tank and Pump segment and former UK Storage Solutions segment have been excluded prospectively from July 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023, respectively, and prior periods have not been adjusted.
