2024 Financial Outlook

The Company has updated its full-year 2024 outlook for select financial data, as shown below:

(in U.S. dollars in millions, except percentages)	Current Outlook	Prior Outlook
GTV growth⁴	0% to 2%	0% to 2%
Adjusted EBITDA	$1,235 to $1,270	$1,220 to $1,270
Full year 2024 tax rate (GAAP and Adjusted)	25% to 27%	25% to 27%
Capital expenditures⁵	$275 to $325	$275 to $325

The Company has not provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal 2024 to GAAP net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or timing of non-GAAP adjustments that are used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, including but not limited to: (a) the net loss or gain on the sale of property plant & equipment or other assets, (b) acquisition-related or integration costs relating to our mergers and acquisition activity, including severance costs, (c) other legal, advisory, restructuring and non-income tax expenses, (d) share-based payments compensation expense which value is directly impacted by the fluctuations in our share price and other variables, and (e) other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. These adjustments are uncertain, depend on various factors that are beyond our control and could have a material impact on net income for fiscal 2024.

For the Third Quarter:

GTV decreased 7% year-over-year to $3.6 billion with declines across all sectors due to lower average selling prices.
Service revenue increased 1% year-over-year to $779.9 million as a result of a higher average service revenue take rate, partially offset by lower GTV. Service revenue take rate expanded 150 basis points year-over-year to 21.5% driven by a higher buyer fee rate structure and growth in marketplace services. Growth in marketplace services revenue was driven by an increase in transportation services, primarily in connection with the large consignment contract in the transportation sector in the United States.
Inventory sales revenue decreased 18% year-over-year to $201.9 million due to lower revenues from the commercial construction and transportation and automotive sectors. Inventory rate declined 230 basis points year-over-year to 4.2%, attributable to weaker performance in all sectors.
Net income available to common stockholders increased to $66.9 million, primarily driven by higher operating income, lower interest expense, partially offset by higher income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ decreased 1% year-over-year driven by lower GTV, inventory return, and higher operating expenses, partially offset by service revenue take rate expansion.

The Company would like to thank Mr. Smith for his valuable contributions to the Board during his tenure as a director.

I greatly appreciated the guidance that Jeff provided and found his advice to be extremely helpful as we navigated the closing and then integration of the largest transaction in the Company's history, while making sure to keep us focused on delivering consistent execution for our partners," said Mr. Kessler.

Mr. Smith commented: "When we first engaged with the Company, it was embarking on a major integration and the turnaround of a new business line.

I look forward to watching RB Global's continued growth. I would also like to thank Bob and the rest of the Board for keeping the Company focused throughout this transition, and ensuring RB Global has best-in-class governance.

Key Operating Metrics

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key operating metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, and make operating decisions. We believe these key operating metrics are useful to investors because management uses these metrics to assess the growth of our business and the effectiveness of our operational strategies.

We define our key operating metrics as follows:

GTV: Represents total proceeds from all items sold on our auctions and online marketplaces, third-party online marketplaces, private brokerage services and other disposition channels. GTV is not a measure of financial performance, liquidity, or revenue, and is not presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Total service revenue take rate: Total service revenue divided by total GTV.

Inventory return: Inventory sales revenue less cost of inventory sold.

Inventory rate: Inventory return divided by inventory sales revenue.

Total lots sold: A single asset to be sold or a group of assets bundled for sale as one unit. Low value assets are sometimes bundled into a single lot, collectively referred to as "small value lots."

Historically, we presented GTV from the sale of parts in our vehicle dismantling business within our automotive sector and excluded the number of parts sold from our total lots sold metric. Commencing in the second quarter of 2024, management has begun to review the number of parts sold in our vehicle dismantling business within our other sector and as part of our total lots sold metric.

Non-GAAP Measures

This news release references non-GAAP measures. These measures do not have a standardized meaning and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP.

Please refer to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 for a summary of adjusting items during the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Diluted Adjusted EPS Available to Common Stockholders Reconciliation

The Company believes that adjusted net income available to common stockholders provides useful information about the growth or decline of the net income available to common stockholders for the relevant financial period and eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items the Company does not consider to be part of the normal operating results. Diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items from net income available to common stockholders that the Company does not consider to be part of the normal operating results.

Adjusted net income available to common stockholders is calculated as net income available to common stockholders, excluding the effects of adjusting items that we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results, such as share-based payments expense, acquisition-related and integration costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive transition costs and certain other items. Net income available to common stockholders is calculated as net income attributable to controlling interests, less cumulative dividends on Series A Senior Preferred Shares and allocated earnings to participating securities.

Diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders is calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding, except that it is computed based upon the lower of the two-class method or the if-converted method, which includes the effects of the assumed conversion of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares and the effect of shares issuable under the Company's stock-based incentive plans, if such effect is dilutive.

The following table reconciles adjusted net income available to common stockholders and diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders to net income available to common stockholders and diluted EPS available to common stockholders, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in our consolidated financial statements:

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the growth or decline of its net income when compared between different financial periods. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure because the Company believes it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and provides management with the ability to monitor its controllable incremental revenues and costs.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, and subtracting interest income from net income, as well as adding back the adjusting items.

The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure in, or calculated from, our consolidated financial statements:

	Three months ended September 30,								Nine months ended September 30,
							% Change								% Change

Adjusted Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

The Company believes that comparing adjusted net debt/adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis for different financial periods provides useful information about the performance of its operations as an indicator of the amount of time it would take to settle both the Company's short and long-term debt. The Company does not consider this to be a measure of its liquidity, which is its ability to settle only short-term obligations, but rather a measure of how well it funds liquidity. Measures of liquidity are noted under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Adjusted net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from short and long-term debt and long-term debt in escrow. Adjusted net debt/Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing adjusted net debt by adjusted EBITDA.

The following table reconciles adjusted net debt to debt, adjusted EBITDA to net income, and adjusted net debt/ adjusted EBITDA to debt/ net income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our consolidated financial statements.
