WillScot Holdings Corporation

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations

WillScot Holdings Corporation (“WillScot” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading business services provider specializing in innovative and flexible turnkey temporary space solutions in the United States (“US”), Canada, and Mexico. The Company leases, sells, delivers and installs modular space solutions and portable storage products through an integrated network of branch locations that spans North America.

On July 29, 2024, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to effect a change of the Company’s name from “WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp.” to “WillScot Holdings Corporation."

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of WillScot and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest and contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary by management to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Segment Reporting

In January 2024, the Company completed the unification of its go-to market structure by integrating its modular and storage divisions under a single leadership team organized by geography, achieving local product unification within each metropolitan statistical area and the ability to consistently deliver its portfolio of solutions to its entire customer base. In connection with this change in operating model, the Company realigned the composition of its operating and reportable segments to reflect how its Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews financial information to allocate resources to and assess performance of the segments. As a result, the Company concluded that its two operating segments (US and Other North America) are aggregated into one reportable segment as the operating segments share similar economic characteristics (e.g., comparable gross margins and comparable adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margins) and similar qualitative characteristics as the operating segments offer similar products and services to similar customers, use similar methods to distribute products and are subject to similar competitive risks.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

ASU 2023-07. Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 expands the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures, requiring disclosure of (i) significant segment expenses, (ii) other segment items, (iii) the chief operating decision maker's title and position, (iv) how the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss and (v) interim disclosure of all segment profit, loss and asset disclosures currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 clarifies that a public entity may report one or more measures of segment profit or loss and requires that single reportable segment entities provide all required segment disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its segment disclosures.

ASU 2023-09. Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose more detailed information in their reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate. Public business entities ("PBEs") are required to provide this incremental detail in a numerical, tabular format, while all other entities will do so through enhanced qualitative disclosures. The ASU also requires entities to disclose more detailed information about income taxes paid, including by jurisdiction; pretax income (or loss) from continuing operations; and income tax expense (or benefit). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its income tax disclosures.

NOTE 2 - Acquisitions

Asset Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of three local storage and modular companies, which consisted primarily of approximately 600 storage units and 800 modular units, for $70.6 million in cash, net of cash acquired. As of the acquisition dates, the fair value of rental equipment acquired was $67.7 million.

Integration Costs

The Company recorded $3.1 million and $2.2 million in integration costs related to business combinations, asset acquisitions, and the merger of WillScot and Mobile Mini, Inc. within selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $5.9 million and $6.1 million in integration costs related to acquisitions and the merger during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Entry into an Agreement to Acquire McGrath RentCorp

On January 28, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with McGrath RentCorp ("McGrath"). Upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of McGrath common stock shall be converted into the right to receive either (i) $123.00 in cash or (ii) 2.8211 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company expects McGrath’s shareholders will own approximately 12.6% of the Company following the McGrath acquisition. The McGrath acquisition has been approved by the Company's and McGrath’s respective boards of directors and McGrath's shareholders. The McGrath acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval, and is expected to close in 2024.

Major Product and Service Lines

Equipment leasing is the Company's core business and the primary driver of the Company's revenue and cash flows. This includes turnkey temporary modular space and portable storage units along with value-added products and services ("VAPS"), which include furniture, steps, ramps, basic appliances, internet connectivity devices, integral tool racking, heavy duty capacity shelving, workstations, electrical and lighting products and other items used by customers in connection with the Company's products. The Company also offers its lease customers a damage waiver program that protects them in case the leased unit is damaged. Leasing is complemented by new unit sales and sales of rental units. In connection with its leasing and sales activities, the Company provides services including delivery and installation, maintenance and ad hoc services and removal services at the end of lease transactions.

Leasing and Services Revenue

The majority of revenue (74% and 75% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and 76% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023) was generated by lease income subject to the guidance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"). The remaining revenue was generated by performance obligations in contracts with customers for services or the sale of units subject to the guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606").

Receivables and Credit Losses

The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivable at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both ASC 842 and ASC 606, the discussions below on credit risk and the Company's allowance for credit losses address the Company's total revenues.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company's receivables is limited because of a large number of geographically diverse customers who operate in a variety of end user markets. The Company manages credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and other monitoring procedures.

The Company's allowance for credit losses reflects its estimate of the amount of receivables that it will be unable to collect. The estimated losses are calculated using the loss rate method based upon a review of outstanding receivables, related aging, and historical collection experience. The Company's estimates reflect changing circumstances, and the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance in future periods.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses was as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Contract Assets and Liabilities

When customers are billed in advance for services, the Company defers recognition of revenue until the related services are performed, which generally occurs at the end of the contract. The balance sheet classification of deferred revenue is determined based on the contractual lease term. For contracts that continue beyond their initial contractual lease term, revenue continues to be deferred until the services are performed. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $131.5 million and $124.1 million, respectively, of deferred revenue related to services billed in advance. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, $20.1 million and $47.7 million, respectively, of deferred revenue billed in advance was recognized as revenue.

The Company does not have material contract assets, and it did not recognize any material impairments for any contract assets.

The Company's uncompleted contracts with customers have unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations. For the future services revenues that are expected to be recognized within twelve months, the Company has elected to utilize the optional disclosure exemption regarding transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations. The transaction price for performance obligations that will be completed in greater than twelve months is variable based on the market rate in place at the time those services are provided, and therefore, the Company is applying the optional expedient to omit disclosure of such amounts.

The primary costs to obtain contracts for new and rental unit sales with the Company's customers are commissions. The Company pays its sales force commissions on the sale of new and rental units. For new and rental unit sales, the period benefited by each commission is less than one year. As a result, the Company has applied the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining a sales contract and expenses commissions as incurred.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company determined that a review of the carrying value of the Mobile Mini trade name was necessary based on the Company's plan to rebrand under a single WillScot brand name and discontinue the use of the Mobile Mini trade name. As of June 30, 2024, the Mobile Mini trade name was tested for impairment using the relief from royalty valuation method. This valuation represents a Level 3 asset measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Asset Backed Lending Facility

On July 1, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including WSI, entered into an asset-based credit agreement. As amended on June 30, 2022, the agreement provides for revolving credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.7 billion, consisting of: (i) a senior secured asset-based US dollar revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $3.3 billion (the “US Facility”), (ii) a $400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Multicurrency Facility," and together with the US Facility, the "ABL Facility"), available to be drawn in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Euros, and (iii) an accordion feature that permits the Company to increase the lenders' commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $750.0 million and the amount of suppressed availability (as defined in the ABL Facility), plus any voluntary prepayments that are accompanied by permanent commitment reductions under the ABL Facility, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions including lender approval. The ABL Facility is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027.

The applicable margin for Canadian Bankers' Acceptance Rate, Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British Pounds Sterling and Euro loans is 1.50%. The facility includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% in addition to the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate and Canadian Prime Rate loans is 0.50%. The applicable margins are subject to one step down of 0.25% or one step up of 0.25% based on the Company's leverage ratio and excess availability from the prior quarter. The ABL Facility requires the payment of a commitment fee on the unused available borrowings of 0.20% annually. As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility, as adjusted for the effects of the interest rate swap agreements, was 5.32%. Refer to Note 12 for a detailed discussion of interest rate management.

On February 26, 2024, WSI entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility (the "Fifth Amendment") to, among other things, change the rate under the ABL Facility for borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars from a Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR")-based rate to a Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA")-based rate, subject to certain adjustments specified in the ABL Facility, and to update certain other provisions regarding successor interest rates to CDOR.

In connection with the Company's pending acquisition of McGrath, on February 27, 2024, WSI and certain other subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility (the "Sixth Amendment") to, among other things, (i) permit the incurrences of indebtedness by WSI and certain other subsidiaries of the Company to finance the McGrath acquisition; (ii) increase the maximum revolving credit facility amount to $4.45 billion, including an increase to the US Facility of $744.5 million and an increase to the Multicurrency of $5.5 million; and (iii) modify the borrowing base, certain thresholds, basket sizes and default and notice triggers to account for the increased size of the business and new asset types of WSI and its subsidiaries following the McGrath acquisition. The amendments contemplated by the Sixth Amendment will not become effective until the closing of the McGrath acquisition.

Borrowing availability under the US Facility and the Multicurrency Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolver commitments and (ii) the borrowing base ("Line Cap"). At June 30, 2024, the Line Cap was $3.2 billion and the Company had $1.8 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, including $1.6 billion under the US Facility and $195.1 million under the Multicurrency Facility. Borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility is made available for up to $220.0 million letters of credit and $220.0 million swingline loans. At June 30, 2024, the available capacity was $199.2 million of letters of credit and $217.4 million of swingline loans. At June 30, 2024, letters of credit and bank guarantees carried fees of 1.625%. The Company had issued $20.8 million of standby letters of credit under the ABL Facility at June 30, 2024.

The Company had approximately $1.4 billion of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility at June 30, 2024. Debt issuance costs of $22.9 million and $26.8 million were presented as direct reductions of the corresponding liabilities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The ABL Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of WSI and the Company’s other subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under the ABL Facility (collectively the “ABL Loan Parties”), subject to customary exclusions.

Senior Secured Notes

The 2025 Secured Notes mature on June 15, 2025. At June 30, 2024, the 2025 Secured Notes were classified as long-term on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet because the Company has the intent and believes it has the ability to refinance this obligation on a long-term basis as demonstrated by the forecasted available capacity under the ABL Facility if other refinancing efforts are unsuccessful or uneconomical.

On June 28, 2024, WSI completed a private offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior secured notes due 2029 (the "2029 Secured Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A. Proceeds were used to repay approximately $495.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under the ABL Facility and certain fees and expenses. The 2029 Secured Notes mature on June 15, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 6.625% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2024. Unamortized deferred financing costs pertaining to the 2029 Secured Notes were $6.9 million as of June 30, 2024.

The 2025 Secured Notes, 2028 Secured Notes, 2029 Secured Notes and 2031 Secured Notes (collectively, “the Secured Notes”) are unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, “the Note Guarantors”). WillScot is not a guarantor of the Secured Notes. The Note Guarantors are guarantors or borrowers under the ABL Facility. To the extent lenders under the ABL Facility release the guarantee of any Note Guarantor, such Note Guarantor will also be released from obligations under the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes and related guarantees are secured by a second priority security interest in substantially the same assets of WSI and the Note Guarantors securing the ABL Facility. Upon the repayment of the 2025 Secured Notes and the 2028 Secured Notes, if the lien associated with the ABL Facility represents the only lien outstanding on the collateral under the 2029 Secured Notes and the 2031 Secured Notes (other than certain permitted), the collateral securing the 2029 Secured Notes and the 2031 Secured Notes will be released and the 2029 Secured Notes and the 2031 Secured Notes will become unsecured subject to satisfaction of customary conditions.

Finance Leases

The Company maintains finance leases primarily related to transportation-related equipment. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, obligations under finance leases were $129.6 million and $117.1 million, respectively. Refer to Note 5 for further information.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and restrictions associated with its debt instruments as of June 30, 2024.

The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and the timing and exact amount of any repurchases will depend on various factors, including market pricing, business, legal, accounting, and other considerations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,035,513 shares of Common Stock for $78.7 million, excluding excise tax. As of June 30, 2024, $419.5 million of the authorization for future repurchases of the Common Stock remained available.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, gains of $5.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, were reclassified from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swaps. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, gains of $10.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, were reclassified from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 12. Associated with these reclassifications, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $1.6 million and tax expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and tax expense of $3.0 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 11 – Income Taxes

The Company recorded $13.9 million of income tax benefit from continuing operations and $3.2 million of income tax expense from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $31.6 million and $62.1 million of income tax expense from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was 22.9% and 25.4%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 26.5% and 27.5%, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by a discrete tax benefit related to employee stock vesting. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and an add-back for non-deductible executive compensation.

NOTE 12 - Derivatives

In January 2023, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $750.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and makes payments based on a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.44% on the notional amount.

In January 2024, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $500.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and makes payments based on a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.70% on the notional amount.

The swap agreements were designated and qualified as hedges of the Company's exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the ABL Facility. The swap agreements terminate on June 30, 2027. The floating rate that the Company receives under the terms of these swap agreements was 5.35% at June 30, 2024.

The location and the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges were as follows:


(in thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash Flow Hedges:
Interest rate swaps	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	17,124	$	9,145
Interest rate swaps	Other non-current assets	$	7,894	$	—
Interest rate swaps	Other non-current liabilities	$	—	$	(4,595)

The fair value of the interest rate swaps was based on dealer quotes of market forward rates, which are Level 2 inputs on the fair value hierarchy (see Note 13), and reflected the amount that the Company would receive or pay as of June 30, 2024 for contracts involving the same attributes and maturity dates.

The following table discloses the impact of the interest rate swaps, excluding the impact of income taxes, on other comprehensive income (“OCI”), AOCI and the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023

Location of gain recognized in income	Interest expense, net		Interest expense, net
Gain reclassified from AOCI into income	$	(10,890)	$	(4,456)

NOTE 13 - Fair Value Measures

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Company utilizes the following accounting guidance for the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1 -			Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 -			Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 -			Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

The Company has assessed that the fair values of cash and short-term deposits, marketable securities, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts. The Company's nonfinancial assets, which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, include rental equipment, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets. Based on the borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair values of finance leases at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximate their respective book values. The carrying value of the ABL Facility, excluding debt issuance costs, approximates fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of current market rates.

The fair values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, the 2029 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes are based on their last trading price at the end of each period obtained from a third party. The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of these financial liabilities measured using Level 2 inputs:


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount			Fair Value
2025 Secured Notes	$	523,988	$	526,247		$	522,735		$	527,021
2028 Secured Notes	495,034		472,225			494,500			474,285
2029 Secured Notes	493,094		504,040			—			—
2031 Secured Notes	494,013		514,970			493,709			528,075
Total	$	2,006,129	$	2,017,482		$	1,510,944		$	1,529,381

As of June 30, 2024, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, the 2029 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $2.5 million, $5.0 million, $6.9 million, and $6.0 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $3.8 million, $5.5 million, and $6.3 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability.

The location and the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are disclosed in Note 12.

NOTE 14 - Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense includes grants of stock options, time-based restricted stock units ("Time-Based RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("Performance-Based RSUs," together with Time-Based RSUs, the "RSUs"). In addition, stock-based payments to non-executive directors include grants of restricted stock awards ("RSAs"). Time-Based RSUs and RSAs are valued based on the intrinsic value of the difference between the exercise price, if any, of the award and the fair market value of WillScot's Common Stock on the grant date. Performance-Based RSUs are valued based on a Monte Carlo simulation model to reflect the impact of the Performance-Based RSU's market condition. The probability of satisfying a market condition is considered in the estimation of the grant-date fair value for Performance-Based RSUs and the compensation cost is not reversed if the market condition is not achieved, provided the requisite service has been provided.

Outstanding at end of period	1,872,236	$	47.40	2,088,772	$	41.54

Compensation expense for Performance-Based RSUs recognized in SG&A on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $6.6 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Compensation expense for Performance-Based RSUs recognized in SG&A on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $13.1 million and $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At June 30, 2024, unrecognized compensation cost related to Performance-Based RSUs totaled $41.4 million and was expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.5 years.

Certain Performance-Based RSUs cliff vest based on achievement of the relative total stockholder return ("TSR") of the Company's Common Stock as compared to the TSR of the constituents in the S&P 400 index at the grant date over the performance period of three years. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0% to 200% based on the TSR attainment levels defined by the Company's Compensation Committee. The 100% target payout is tied to performance at the 50% percentile, with a payout curve ranging from 0% (for performance less than the 25% percentile) to 200% (for performance above the 85% percentile).

For 555,790 Performance-Based RSUs granted in 2021, the awards cliff vest based on achievement of specified share prices of the Company's Common Stock at annual measurement dates over performance periods of 4.5 years to 4.8 years. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0 to 1,333,334 based on the stock price attainment levels defined by the Company's Compensation Committee. The target payout for the 555,790 Performance-Based RSUs is tied to a stock price of $47.50, with a payout ranging from 0 RSUs (for a stock price less than $42.50) to 1,333,334 RSUs (for a stock price of $60.00 or greater).

NOTE 15 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise and establishes reserves as required. As of June 30, 2024, with respect to these outstanding matters, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand WillScot Holdings Corporation ("WillScot") operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report. The discussion of results of operations in this MD&A is presented on a historical basis, as of or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or prior periods.

On January 31, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its former United Kingdom ("UK") Storage Solutions segment. This MD&A presents the historical financial results of the former UK Storage Solutions segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We use certain non-GAAP financial metrics to supplement the GAAP reported results to highlight key operational metrics that are used by management to evaluate Company performance. Reconciliations of GAAP financial information to the disclosed non-GAAP measures are provided in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of MD&A.

Executive Summary

We are a leading business services provider specializing in innovative and flexible turnkey temporary space solutions. We service diverse end markets across all sectors of the economy throughout the United States ("US"), Canada, and Mexico. As of June 30, 2024, our branch network included approximately 260 branch locations and additional drop lots to service our over 85,000 customers. We offer our customers an extensive selection of “Ready to Work” temporary space solutions with over 152,000 modular space units and over 206,000 portable storage units in our fleet.

We primarily lease, rather than sell, our modular and portable storage units to customers, which results in a highly diversified and predictable recurring revenue stream. Over 90% of new lease orders are on our standard lease agreement, pre-negotiated master lease or national account agreements. The initial lease periods vary, and our leases are customarily renewable on a month-to-month basis after their initial term. Our lease revenue is highly predictable due to its recurring nature and the underlying stability and diversification of our lease portfolio. Furthermore, given that our customers value flexibility, they consistently extend their leases or renew on a month-to-month basis such that the average effective duration of our lease portfolio, excluding seasonal portable storage leases, is approximately 38 months. We complement our core leasing business by selling both new and used units, allowing us to leverage scale, achieve purchasing benefits and redeploy capital employed in our lease fleet.

Our customers operate in a diversified set of end markets, including construction, commercial and industrial, retail and wholesale trade, energy and natural resources, education, government and institutions and healthcare. Core to our operating model is the ability to redeploy standardized assets across end markets. We track several market leading indicators to predict demand, including those related to our two largest end markets, the commercial and industrial sector and the construction sector, which collectively accounted for approximately 86% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

We remain focused on our core priorities of growing leasing revenues by increasing units on rent, both organically and through our acquisition strategy, delivering “Ready to Work” turnkey solutions to our customers with value added products and services ("VAPS"), and continually improving the overall customer experience.

Significant Developments

Entry into an Agreement to Acquire McGrath RentCorp

On January 28, 2024, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with McGrath RentCorp ("McGrath"). Upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of McGrath common stock shall be converted into the right to receive either (i) $123.00 in cash or (ii) 2.8211 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we expect McGrath’s shareholders will own approximately 12.6% of the Company following the McGrath acquisition. The McGrath acquisition has been approved by the Company's and McGrath’s respective boards of directors and McGrath's shareholders. The McGrath acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval, and is expected to close in 2024.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter dated January 28, 2024, which was amended and restated on June 13, 2024 and modified by a Notice of Reduction of Bridge Commitments on June 28, 2024 (the "Commitment Letter"), pursuant to which certain financial institutions have committed to make available, in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, (i) a $500 million eight-year senior secured bridge credit facility and (ii) an upsize to the existing $3.7 billion ABL Facility (as defined below) of Williams Scotsman, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company ("WSI"), by $750 million to $4.5 billion to repay McGrath's existing unsecured revolving lines of credit and notes, fund the cash portion of the consideration, and pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the McGrath acquisition and the related transactions.

We recorded $22.9 million and $35.2 million in legal and professional fees primarily related to the acquisition of McGrath within selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Financing Activities

Mobile Mini Trade Name Impairment

In the second quarter of 2024, we determined that a review of the carrying value of the Mobile Mini trade name was necessary based on the Company's plan to rebrand under a single WillScot brand name and discontinue the use of the Mobile Mini trade name. As of June 30, 2024, the Mobile Mini trade name was tested for impairment using the relief from royalty valuation method. After determining the estimated fair value, we recorded an impairment charge of $132.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. This non-cash charge was recorded to impairment loss on intangible asset on the consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining net book value of the Mobile Mini trade name was $31.5 million, which will be amortized over a remaining useful life of approximately 3.1 years.

Asset Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of three local storage and modular companies, which consisted primarily of approximately 600 storage units and 800 modular units, for $70.6 million. As of the acquisition dates, the fair value of rental equipment acquired was $67.7 million.

Share Repurchases

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 2,035,513 shares of Common Stock for $78.7 million, excluding excise tax. As of June 30, 2024, $419.5 million of the authorization for future repurchases of the Common Stock remained available. Given that we believe our free cash flow is predictable, we believe that repurchases will be a recurring capital allocation priority.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

In January 2024, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $500.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, we receive a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and make payments based on a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.70% on the notional amount. The swap agreements were designated and qualified as hedges of our exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the ABL Facility. The swap agreements terminate on June 30, 2027.

Segment Reporting

In January 2024, we completed the unification of our go-to market structure by integrating our modular and storage divisions under a single leadership team organized by metropolitan statistical area (MSA), which enables us to consistently deliver our portfolio of solutions to our entire customer base. In connection with this change in operating model, we realigned the composition of our operating and reportable segments. As a result, we concluded that our two operating segments (US and Other North America) are aggregated into one reportable segment.

1 Effective for the three months ended June 30, 2024, we reclassified approximately 2,000 units that were previously reported as modular space units on rent to portable storage units on rent as these units are generally used in a dry storage application. Additionally, based on our segment realignment, we have conformed our VAPS presentation to include all VAPS not specific to portable storage orders as modular space VAPS and recalculated average monthly rental rates. This treatment is consistent with prior treatment in our previous Modular Segment. All historical product operating key performance indicators have been recast to be presented on a comparable basis for all periods.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, results and key drivers of our financial performance included:

•Total revenues increased $22.5 million, or 3.9%. Leasing revenue increased $9.3 million, or 2.1%, new unit sales revenue increased $12.4 million, or 137.4%, and rental unit sales increased $5.5 million, or 49.6%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in delivery and installation revenue of $4.6 million, or 4.1%.

•Modular product revenue, which represented 77.8% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased $32.6 million, or 7.5%, to $470.4 million. The increase was driven by our core leasing revenue, which increased $12.3 million, or 3.6%, due to continued growth of pricing and VAPS, as well as increased delivery and installation revenue, which increased $2.0 million, or 2.4%. Rental unit sales increased $5.4 million, or 64.8%, and new unit sales increased $12.9 million, or 170.2%.

Modular revenue drivers for the three months ended June 30, 2024 included:

•Modular space average monthly rental rate increased $85, or 7.8%, year over year to $1,176 representing a continuation of the long-term price optimization and VAPS penetration opportunities across our portfolio.

•Average modular space units on rent decreased 3,268, or 3.3%, year over year.

•Average modular space monthly utilization decreased 230 basis points ("bps") to 62.5%.

•Storage product revenue, which represented 22.2% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $10.1 million, or 7.0%, to $134.1 million. The decrease was driven by delivery and installation revenue, which decreased $6.6 million, or 22.1%, driven reduced delivery volumes, as well as a decrease in core leasing revenue of $3.0 million, or 2.8%, driven by reduced portable storage container volumes, partially offset by increased rates on portable storage containers and increased revenue from acquired climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. Rental unit sales remained flat at $2.7 million, and new unit sales decreased $0.5 million, or 37.8%. Storage revenue drivers for the three months ended June 30, 2024 included:

•Portable storage average monthly rental rate increased $40, or 17.9%, year over year to $263 as a result of our price management tools, processes and benefits from increased VAPS penetration opportunities, as well as higher rates on the climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units acquired in 2023 and 2024.

•Average portable storage units on rent decreased 30,872, or 19.8%, year over year driven by lower demand for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The lower demand was driven largely by decreased new construction project starts over the past year as compared to higher activity levels experienced during 2021 and 2022 and less demand in the retail and wholesale trade customer segment.

•Average portable storage monthly utilization decreased 14.1% to 59.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

•Generated a loss from continuing operations of $46.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which included discrete costs in the period of $165.5 million, including a $132.5 million impairment loss on intangible asset, $22.9 million of legal and professional fees primarily related to the acquisition of McGrath, $3.1 million of integration costs, and $6.2 million of lease impairment expense, restructuring, and other related charges primarily related to employee termination costs as a result of a cost-reduction plan implemented in June 2024. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 54.1%.

•Generated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $263.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of $2.2 million, or 1%, as compared to the same period in 2023.

•Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations was 43.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased 130 bps versus prior year. Leasing margins increased 51 bps versus prior year and delivery and installation margins decreased 291 bps versus prior year.

•Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $26.5 million to $175.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net cash used in investing activities, excluding cash used for acquisitions, increased by $12.6 million. Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of increased new fleet purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. Purchases of property, plant, and equipment increased $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Proceeds from the sale of rental equipment decreased $1.0 million. Net CAPEX increased $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

•Generated Free Cash Flow of $120.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $38.7 million as compared to the same period in 2023. We deployed this Free Cash Flow to acquire two local providers of storage and modular space solutions with portfolios of approximately 500 storage units and 30 modular units for $29.6 million. We returned $78.7 million to shareholders through stock repurchases, reducing outstanding Common Stock by 2,035,513 shares.

•We believe the predictability of our Free Cash Flow allows us to pursue multiple capital allocation priorities opportunistically, including investing in organic opportunities we see in the market, maintaining leverage in our stated range, opportunistically executing accretive acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders.

In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Net CAPEX and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results. As such, we include in this Form 10-Q reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations and descriptions of why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors as well as a description of the limitations of these measures are included in "Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenue: Total revenue increased $22.5 million, or 3.9%, to $604.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $582.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Leasing revenue increased $9.3 million, or 2.1%, as compared to the same period in 2023, driven by improved pricing and value added products penetration, partially offset by a decrease of 34,140 average total units on rent, which was primarily driven by a decrease in portable storage containers on rent. Delivery and installation revenues decreased $4.6 million, or 4.1%, due to decreased deliveries and returns. Rental unit sales increased $5.5 million, or 49.6%, primarily driven by a single large project in the quarter, and new unit sales increased $12.4 million, or 137.4%, primarily related to sales activity from a company we acquired in the third quarter of 2023.

Total average units on rent for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 220,414 and 254,554, respectively, representing a decrease of 34,140 units, or 13.4%. Portable storage average units on rent decreased by 30,872 units, or 19.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 driven by lower demand in 2024. The lower demand was driven largely by decreased new construction project starts over the past year as compared to higher activity levels experienced during 2021 and 2022 and less demand in the retail and wholesale trade customer segment. The average portable storage

unit utilization rate during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 59.2% as compared to 73.3% during the same period in 2023. Modular space average units on rent decreased 3,268 units, or 3.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was also driven largely by decreased new construction project starts over the past year as compared to higher activity levels experienced during 2021 and 2022. The average modular space unit utilization rate during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 62.5% as compared to 64.8% during the same period in 2023.

Modular space average monthly rental rates increased 7.8% year over year to $1,176 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Increases were driven by a continuation of the long-term price optimization and VAPS penetration opportunities. Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 17.9% year over year to $263 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of our price management tools, processes and benefits from increased VAPS penetration opportunities, as well as higher rates on the climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units acquired in 2023 and 2024.

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased $0.8 million, or 0.2%, to $327.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $327.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was a result of decreased delivery and installation gross profit of $4.4 million and increased depreciation expense of $11.2 million, and was partially offset by a $9.6 million increase in leasing gross profit and a $5.3 million increase in new and rental unit sales gross profit. The increase in leasing gross profit was primarily a result of increased revenues due to favorable average monthly rental rates including VAPS across both portable storage and modular space units, which offset lower unit on rent volumes. Cost of leasing and services decreased by $0.5 million, or 0.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 versus the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by a decrease in subcontractors costs of $4.8 million, or 7.5%, and a decrease in materials costs of $2.6 million, or 9.8%. These decreased costs were partially offset by an increase in labor costs of $5.8 million, or 9.0%. Cost of sales increased by $12.6 million, or 127.6%, which is directionally in line with increased sales revenues of 89.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Our resulting gross profit percentage was 54.1% and 56.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our adjusted gross profit percentage, excluding the effects of depreciation, was 66.6% and 67.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decreases, as referenced above, were mainly driven by lower utilization rates, specifically on portable storage products.

SG&A: Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $27.8 million, or 18.9%, to $174.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $146.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Discrete expenses for certain one-time projects, primarily legal and professional fees related to the acquisition of McGrath, increased $21.8 million. Real estate and occupancy costs increased $4.7 million, or 22.8%. Employee SG&A excluding stock compensation increased $4.9 million, or 7.8%, primarily as a result of increased salaries and wages. Stock based compensation increased $0.3 million, or 2.8%. These increased costs were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in service agreements and professional fees.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.2 million, or 1%, to $263.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $261.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by a $9.6 million increase in leasing gross profit and a $5.3 million increase in new and used sales gross profit as discussed above, partially offset by decreased delivery and installation gross profit of $4.4 million and increased SG&A, excluding discrete costs, of $4.9 million, or 3.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Other depreciation and amortization: Other depreciation and amortization increased $0.8 million to $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Impairment loss on intangible asset: Impairment loss on intangible asset was $132.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to the impairment of the Mobile Mini trade name due to our plan to rebrand under a single WillScot brand name and discontinue the use of the Mobile Mini trade name.

Restructuring costs: Restructuring costs of $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily due to employee termination costs as a result of a cost-reduction plan implemented in June 2024.

Currency (gains) losses, net: Currency (gains) losses, net decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Other expense (income), net: Other expense, net was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to other income, net of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This change was primarily attributable to insurance recoveries received in 2023 related to Hurricane Ian in the Gulf Coast area of the United States in 2022.

Interest expense, net: Interest expense increased $8.3 million, or 17.6%, to $55.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $47.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense was a result of higher overall weighted average interest rates as a result of increased benchmark rates and higher outstanding debt balances. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.

Income tax (benefit) expense: Income tax benefit was $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to income tax expense of $31.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a change of $45.5 million. The change was primarily driven by a decrease in income from continuing operations before income tax for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $9.6 million, or 17.3%, to $65.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $55.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of increased refurbishment spending and new fleet purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. Net CAPEX increased $12.1 million, or 28.4%, to $54.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $42.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 driven by the increase in capital expenditures for rental equipment as described above, as well as by a $1.8 million increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment, and a $1.0 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

1 Effective for the six months ended June 30, 2024, we reclassified approximately 2,000 units that were previously reported as modular space units on rent to portable storage units on rent as these units are generally used in a dry storage application. Additionally, based on our segment realignment, we have conformed our VAPS presentation to include all VAPS not specific to portable storage orders as modular space VAPS and recalculated average monthly rental rates. This treatment is consistent with prior treatment in our previous Modular Segment. All historical product operating key performance indicators have been recast to be presented on a comparable basis for all periods.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenue: Total revenue increased $44.2 million, or 3.9%, to $1,191.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $1,147.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Leasing revenue increased $29.9 million, or 3.4%, as compared to the same period in 2023 driven by improved pricing and value added products penetration, partially offset by a decrease of 37,053 average total units on rent. Delivery and installation revenues decreased $10.9 million, or 5.0%, due to decreased deliveries and returns. Rental unit sales increased $10.0 million, or 51.7%, primarily driven by a single large project in the second quarter and increased overall rental unit sales activity, and new unit sales increased $15.2 million, or 77.4%, primarily related to sales activity from a company we acquired in the third quarter of 2023.

Total average units on rent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 223,766 and 260,819, respectively. Modular space average units on rent decreased 3,550 units, or 3.6%, and portable storage average units on rent decreased by 33,503 units, or 20.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The lower demand was driven largely by decreased new construction project starts over the past year as compared to higher activity levels experienced during 2021 and 2022 and less demand in the retail and wholesale trade customer segment. The average modular space unit utilization rate during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 62.5% as compared to 65.3% during the same period in 2023. The average portable storage unit utilization rate during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 60.7%, as compared to 77.1% during the same period in 2023.

Modular space average monthly rental rates increased 9.5% to $1,163 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Increases were driven by a continuation of the long-term price optimization and VAPS penetration opportunities. Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 20.2% to $262 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of our price management tools, processes and benefits from increased VAPS penetration opportunities, as well as higher rates on the climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units acquired in 2023 and 2024.

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased $7.0 million, or 1.1%, to $644.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $651.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was a result of a $26.9 million increase in depreciation of rental equipment and decreased delivery and installation gross profit of $13.5 million. These decreases in gross profit were partially offset by a $25.4 million increase in leasing gross profit and increased new and rental unit sale gross profits of $8.1 million. The increase in leasing gross profit was primarily a result of increased revenues due to favorable average monthly rental rates including VAPS across both portable storage and modular space units, which offset lower unit on rent volumes. Cost of leasing and services increased by $7.2 million, or 2.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 versus the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by a $18.4 million, or 14.7%, increase in labor cost and a $4.4 million, or 9.1%, increase in vehicle, equipment and other costs partially offset by a $11.0 million, or 8.7%, decrease in subcontractor costs and a $4.6 million, or 8.7%, decrease in material costs. Cost of sales increased by $17.1 million, or 83.2%, which is directionally in line with increased sales revenues of 64.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Our gross profit percentage was 54.0% and 56.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our gross profit percentage, excluding the effects of depreciation, was 66.7% and 67.5% for the six months ended June 30,

2024 and 2023, respectively. The decreases, as referenced above, were mainly driven by lower utilization rates, specifically on portable storage products.

SG&A: SG&A increased $44.5 million, or 14.9%, to $342.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $297.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Discrete expenses for certain one-time projects, primarily legal and professional fees related to the acquisition of McGrath, increased $34.7 million. Real estate and occupancy costs increased $8.5 million, or 20.6%, and employee SG&A excluding stock compensation increased $6.7 million, or 5.1%, primarily as a result of increased salaries and wages. Stock compensation expense increased $1.2 million to $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. These increases were partially offset by a $3.3 million, or 23.3%, decrease in travel costs and a $2.7 million, or 28.1%, decrease in our provision for credit losses.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.4 million, or 1%, to $511.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $508.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was driven by a $25.4 million increase in leasing gross profit as discussed above, partially offset by decreased delivery and installation gross profit of $13.5 million and increased SG&A, excluding discrete costs, of $8.8 million, or 3.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Other depreciation and amortization: Other depreciation and amortization increased $1.5 million to $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Impairment loss on intangible asset: Impairment loss on intangible asset was $132.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the impairment of the Mobile Mini trade name based on the Company's plan to rebrand under a single WillScot brand name and discontinue the use of the Mobile Mini trade name.

Lease impairment expense and other related charges: Lease impairment expense and other related charges increased to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These charges were related to the exit of an office property.

Restructuring costs: Restructuring costs of $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were primarily due to employee termination costs as a result of a cost-reduction plan implemented in June 2024.

Currency losses, net: Currency losses, net decreased by $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This change was primarily attributable to a $7.7 million loss in 2023 on the settlement of the contingent foreign currency forward contract relating to the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions segment in January 2023.

Other expense (income), net: Other expense, net was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to other income, net of $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This change was primarily attributable to insurance recoveries received in 2023 related to Hurricane Ian in the Gulf Coast area of the United States in 2022.

Interest expense, net: Interest expense increased $20.0 million to $112.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $92.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense was a result of higher overall weighted average interest rates as a result of increased benchmark rates and higher outstanding debt balances. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.

Income tax expense: Income tax expense decreased $58.9 million to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $62.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in expense was driven by a decrease in income from continuing operations before income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Income from discontinued operations: Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was related to the former UK Storage Solutions segment, which was sold January 2023.

Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $34.9 million, or 34.0%, to $137.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $102.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of increased refurbishment spending and new fleet purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. Net CAPEX increased $31.1 million, or 35.2%, to $119.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $88.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 driven by the increase in capital expenditures for rental equipment as described above. This increase was partially offset by a $5.4 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating results. As such, we include in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Set forth below are definitions and reconciliations to the nearest comparable GAAP measure of certain non-GAAP financial measures used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q along with descriptions of why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors as well as a description of the limitations of these measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, results reported under GAAP. Our measurements of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Our adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") reflects the following further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events 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 and lease 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.

•Other expenses, 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.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates business performance utilizing Adjusted EBITDA as shown in the reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA below. Management believes that evaluating performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to the intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company and captures the business performance inclusive of indirect costs.

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 WillScot’s results as reported under 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 a measure of cash that will be available to meet our obligations.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus depreciation of rental equipment. Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, gross profit percentage, or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our measurement of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and assists in analyzing the performance of our business.

Net CAPEX

We define Net CAPEX 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. Management believes that the presentation of Net CAPEX provides useful information regarding the net capital invested in our rental fleet and property, plant and equipment each year to assist in analyzing the performance of our business. As presented below, Net CAPEX includes amounts for the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

WillScot is a holding company that derives its operating cash flow from its operating subsidiaries. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash flows generated from operating activities of our subsidiaries, borrowings under our ABL Facility, and sales of debt securities. We have consistently accessed the debt capital markets both opportunistically and as necessary to support the growth of our business, desired leverage levels, and other capital allocation priorities. We believe we have ample liquidity in the ABL Facility and are generating substantial free cash flow, which together support both organic operations and other capital allocation priorities as they arise. We believe that our liquidity sources are sufficient to satisfy our anticipated operating, debt service and capital cash requirements over the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

We continue to review available acquisition opportunities with the awareness that any such acquisition may require us to incur additional debt to finance the acquisition and/or to issue shares of our Common Stock or other equity securities as acquisition consideration or as part of an overall financing plan. In addition, we will continue to evaluate alternatives to optimize our capital structure, which could include the issuance or repurchase of additional unsecured and secured debt, equity securities and/or equity-linked securities. There can be no assurance as to the timing of any such issuance or repurchase. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. Availability of financing and the associated terms are inherently dependent on the debt and equity capital markets and subject to change. From time to time, we may also seek to streamline our capital structure and improve our financial position through refinancing or restructuring our existing debt or retiring certain of our securities for cash or other consideration.

Our revolving credit facility provides an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.7 billion, consisting of: (i) a senior secured asset-based US dollar revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $3.3 billion (the “US Facility”) and (ii) a $400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Multicurrency Facility," and together with the US Facility, the “ABL Facility”). Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of $3.7 billion and the applicable borrowing bases. The borrowing bases are a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool, of which our rental equipment represents the largest component. At June 30, 2024, we had $1.8 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility.

Cash Flow Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

The consolidated statements of cash flows include amounts for the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023. See Note 3 to the financial statements for disclosure of significant investing items related to the former UK Storage Solutions segment.

The following summarizes our change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	384,287	$	350,920
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	(193,329)		158,477
Net cash used in financing activities	(195,662)		(520,257)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(330)		746
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(5,034)	$	(10,114)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $384.3 million as compared to $350.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $33.4 million. The increase was due to a change of $104.2 million in the net movements of the operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of $70.8 million of net income, adjusted for non-cash items.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $193.3 million as compared to $158.5 million of net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a $351.8 million increase in net cash used in investing activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted from $404.0 million in proceeds from the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a $34.9 million increase in refurbishment spending and new fleet purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units, during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by a $78.8 million decrease in cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired, a $5.4 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and a $7.7 million decrease in cash used for the settlement of a contingent foreign currency forward contract upon the closing of the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions segment in January 2023.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $195.7 million as compared to $520.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $324.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $377.6 million decrease in cash used for the repurchase of common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2024. We paused share repurchases in the fourth quarter of 2023 as acquisition discussions advanced with McGrath and resumed repurchasing shares of our Common Stock in April 2024.

The decrease was partially offset by a $41.6 million increase in repayments of borrowings, net of receipts from borrowings, a $4.5 million increase in cash used for taxes paid on employee stock awards, a $5.2 million increase in cash used for payments for financing costs, and a $1.4 million increase in cash used for payments on finance lease obligations.

Free Cash Flow

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 refurbishments and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that the presentation of Free Cash Flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to fund our capital allocation alternatives. The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow.


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	175,611	$	202,155	$	384,287	$	350,920
Purchase of rental equipment and refurbishments	(65,174)		(55,581)		(137,591)		(102,709)
Proceeds from sale of rental equipment	16,473		17,473		30,668		25,254
Purchase of property, plant and equipment	(6,247)		(4,453)		(12,801)		(11,189)
Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment	215		7		215		265
Free Cash Flow	$	120,878	$	159,601	$	264,778	$	262,541

Free Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $264.8 million as compared to $262.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $2.2 million. Free Cash Flow increased principally as a result of the $33.4 million increase in cash provided by operating activities and the $5.4 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment. The increase was partially offset by the $34.9 million increase in cash used in the purchase of rental equipment and refurbishments.

The $384.3 million in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was returned to shareholders through repurchases and cancellations of common stock of $78.7 million and reinvested into the business to support the purchase of rental equipment, including VAPS, and refurbishments, acquire three local storage and modular companies for $70.6 million, and fund repayment of borrowings under our ABL Facility.

Material cash requirements

The Company’s material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations:

Debt

The Company has outstanding debt related to its ABL Facility, 2025 Secured Notes, 2028 Secured Notes, 2029 Secured Notes, 2031 Secured Notes, and finance leases totaling $3.5 billion as of June 30, 2024, $545.1 million of which is obligated to be repaid within the next twelve months. We have the intent and believe was have the ability to refinance the $526.5 million carrying value of the 2025 Secured Notes on a long-term basis as demonstrated by the forecasted available capacity under the ABL Facility if other refinancing efforts are unsuccessful or uneconomical. Refer to Note 9 for further information regarding outstanding debt.

Operating leases

The Company has commitments for future minimum rental payments relating to operating leases, which are primarily for real estate. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had lease obligations of $297.4 million, with $69.5 million payable within the next twelve months.

Entry into an Agreement to Acquire McGrath RentCorp

Other

In addition to the cash requirements described above, the Company has a share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, which allows the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of outstanding shares of Common Stock. This program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific amount of shares. As of June 30, 2024, $419.5 million of the approved share repurchase amount remained available.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances and reevaluate our estimates and judgments as appropriate. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. For a complete discussion of our significant critical accounting estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K").

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Changes in these factors cause fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows. We evaluate and manage exposure to these market risks as follows:

Interest Rate Risk

We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk through our ABL Facility, which bears interest at variable rates. We had $1.4 billion in outstanding principal under the ABL Facility at June 30, 2024. To manage interest rate risk, in January 2024 and January 2023, respectively, we executed interest rate swap agreements relating to an aggregate of $500.0 million and $750.0 million in notional amount of variable-rate debt under our ABL Facility. The January 2024 and January 2023 swap agreements provide for us to pay a weighted average effective fixed interest rate of 3.70% and 3.44% per annum, respectively, and receive a variable interest rate equal to one-month term SOFR, with maturity dates of June 30, 2027. After taking into account the impact of the swaps, an increase in interest rates by 100 basis points on our ABL Facility would have increased quarter to date interest expense by approximately $1.2 million based on current outstanding borrowings.

Foreign Currency Risk

We currently generate approximately 93% of our consolidated net revenues in the US, and the reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the US dollar. However, we are exposed to currency risk through our operations in Canada and Mexico. For the operations outside the US, we bill customers primarily in their local currency, which is subject to foreign currency rate changes. As our net revenues and expenses generated outside of the US increase, our results of operations could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Since we recognize foreign revenues in local foreign currencies, if the US dollar strengthens, it could have a negative impact on our foreign revenues upon translation of those results into the US dollar for consolidation into our financial statements.

In addition, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions generated by our foreign subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions and rental equipment purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the purchasing entity. These exposures are included in currency (gains) losses, net, on the consolidated statements of operations.

Our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of June 30, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise and establishes reserves as required. As of June 30, 2024, with respect to these outstanding matters, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks, many of which are not exclusively within the Company’s control, which may cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which have not materially changed.

A share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase its outstanding shares of Common Stock. In May 2023, the Board of Directors approved a reset of the share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of June 30, 2024, $419.5 million of the $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization remained available for use.

None.

ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.
