Management Commentary1,2,3
Brad Soultz, President and Chief Executive Officer of WillScot, commented, "WillScot delivered another quarter of substantial Adjusted EBITDA growth completing a truly transformational year for WillScot. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter were up 8.0% and 33.6% organically over the prior year, and our Adjusted EBITDA margin of 35.3% increased 670 bps versus the fourth quarter of 2018. We've achieved this through our increased scale, solid synergy realization, and our rate and VAPS growth. We remain committed to de-leveraging organically, and our free cash flow generation of $43.7 million in the fourth quarter heading into 2020 gives us confidence that we will de-lever well below 4x during the course of 2020 based on our guidance."
Tim Boswell, Chief Financial Officer commented, "In Q4 we delivered solid year over year modular leasing revenue growth of $14.5 million or 8.1% organically, which is the best indicator of our trajectory heading into 2020. Modular space average rental rates in our Modular - US segment increased 15.1% year over year, due to the continued churn of our acquired portfolios and increased VAPS penetration and pricing on rental contracts. Organic lease revenue growth and cost synergy realization drove 670 bps of year over year Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion with approximately 80.0% of Acton and ModSpace synergies realized in Q4. All of this drove positive net income in the fourth quarter of $8.9 million and free cash flow of $43.7 million realizing our planned transition to net profitability and cash generation. We deployed the free cash flow to reduce debt and completed our transition to Large Accelerated Filer status, accomplishing all of the fundamental objectives we set for the year. Together these achievements represent a strong foundation from which to embark on WillScot’s next chapter of transformation."
“Finally, today we announced a strategic combination with Mobile Mini, the world’s leading provider of portable storage solutions serving customers in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. We are very excited to join together our two leading companies with complementary capabilities and cultures, best-in-class teams, and proven track records of driving profitable growth and shareholder value creation,” Brad Soultz, continued.
Fourth Quarter 2019 Results1,2
Total revenues increased 8.0% to $278.0 million, as compared to $257.4 million in the prior year quarter driven by a 7.7% increase in leasing and services revenue due to improved pricing and growth of VAPS.
- Modular - US segment revenue increased 7.8% to $251.3 million, as compared to $233.1 million in the prior year quarter, with core leasing and services revenues up $16.6 million, or 8.0%, year over year.
• Modular space average monthly rental rate of $648 increased 15.1% year over year including the dilutive impacts of acquisitions. Improved pricing was driven by a combination of our price optimization tools and processes, as well as by continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across our customer base.
• Average modular space units on rent decreased 5,309, or 6.1%, year over year
- Modular - Other North America segment revenue increased 9.9% to $26.7 million compared to $24.3 million in the prior year quarter.
• Modular space average monthly rental rates were up 5.7% compared to the prior year quarter. Modular space units on rent decreased 2.5% to 8,953, and utilization for our modular space units decreased to 55.9%, down 70 bps from 56.6%.
Adjusted EBITDA of $98.2 million was up 33.6% compared to $73.5 million in the prior year quarter, and Adjusted EBITDA margins improved 670 bps year over year to 35.3%.
- Modular - US segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 32.1% to $88.8 million, and Modular - Other North America segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.1 million to $9.4 million from the prior year quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA margins improved by 670 bps year over year driven by a 70 bps improvement in leasing and services gross profit margin, as well as a 600 bps reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. We estimate that incremental cost synergies of approximately $11.2 million related to the Acton and ModSpace acquisitions were realized in the fourth quarter bringing total estimated synergies realized from the dates of the acquisitions to approximately $42.4 million. Approximately 80.0% of the annualized forecasted cost synergies of over $70 million were in our run rate as of December 31, 2019.
Net income of $8.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 includes $7.9 million of discrete costs expensed in the period related to our integration and acquisition-related activities, including $2.7 million of integration costs, $2.7 million of restructuring costs, lease impairment expense and other related charges, $0.2 million of other impairments and $2.3 million of other expense. Net income of $8.9 million was up $19.3 million from a consolidated net loss of $10.4 million for the same period in 2018, which included $5.3 million of transaction costs, $8.3 million of restructuring costs, and $15.1 million of integration costs related to the Acton and ModSpace acquisitions.
Full Year 2019 Results1,2
Total revenues increased 41.6% to $1,063.7 million, as compared to $751.4 million in the prior year driven by a 43.3% increase in leasing and services revenue due to increased volumes from acquisitions, improved pricing, and growth of VAPS. Pro forma revenues decreased $0.4 million, or 0.0%, driven by reduced sales revenues, which declined $46.9 million, or 32.1%, driven primarily by one large new sale recognized in 2018 in the amount of $29.0 million in our Modular - US segment. The impact of the decline in non-recurring sales versus the prior year was nearly offset by continued strong organic growth in our core modular leasing revenues, which increased $53.4 million on a pro forma basis, or 7.7%, driven primarily by a 13.7% increase in pro forma average modular space monthly rental rates. The adoption of ASC 842 included a reclassification of amounts previously accounted for as bad debt expense from selling, general and administrative expenses, resulting in a $10.0 million reduction to revenue for the year and no change to net income, upon adoption in Q4 retroactive to January 1, 2019.
- Modular - US segment revenue increased 41.9% to $961.7 million, as compared to $677.6 million in the prior year, with core leasing and services revenues up $271.4 million, or 44.7%, year over year.
• Modular space average monthly rental rate of $617 increased 12.0% year over year including the dilutive impacts of acquisitions. Pro forma modular space monthly rental rates increased 14.9% year over year. Improved pricing was driven by a combination of our price optimization tools and processes, as well as by continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across our customer base.
• Average modular space units on rent increased 19,373, or a 30.6% year over year increase, due to an additional 8.5 months of contribution from the ModSpace acquisition. Pro forma units on rent decreased 4.5% year over year, and pro forma utilization increased by 40 bps year over year.
- Modular - Other North America segment revenue increased 38.1% to $101.9 million, compared to $73.8 million in the prior year, with modular space average units on rent up 29.6% and average monthly rental rate up 5.5% compared to the prior year.
• On a pro forma basis, Modular - Other North America segment modular space rental rate increased 4.4% compared to the prior year. Pro forma modular space units on rent decreased 2.5% to 8,973, and pro forma utilization for our modular space units decreased to 56.1%, down 30 bps from 56.4%.
Adjusted EBITDA of $356.5 million, including $4.4 million of costs related to finance leases reclassified as operating leases upon adoption of ASC 842, was up 65.4% compared to $215.5 million in the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA margins improved 480 bps year over year to 33.5%.
- Modular - US segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 65.5% to $325.0 million, and Modular - Other North America segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.4 million to $31.5 million from the prior year.
- Adjusted EBITDA margins improved by 480 bps year over year driven by a 30 bps improvement in leasing and services gross profit margin as a result of improved delivery and installation rates, as well as a 470 bps reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, offset slightly by decreased sale margins. We estimate that incremental cost synergies of approximately $36.0 million related to the Acton and ModSpace acquisitions were realized in the year bringing total estimated synergies realized from the dates of the acquisitions to approximately $42.4 million. Approximately 80% of the annualized forecasted cost synergies of over $70.0 million were in our run rate as of December 31, 2019.
Net loss of $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes $46.0 million of discrete costs expensed in the period related to integration and acquisition-related activities, including $26.6 million of integration costs, $11.5 million of impairment of long-lived assets and lease impairment expense and other related charges, $3.8 million of restructuring cost, and $4.1 of other expense. This is down $42.1 million from a consolidated net loss of $53.6 million in 2018, which included $20.1 million of transaction costs, $15.5 million of restructuring costs, and $30.0 million of integration costs related to the Acton and ModSpace acquisitions.
Capitalization and Liquidity Update
Capital expenditures decreased $4.9 million, or 9.6%, to $46.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, from $50.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Net CAPEX4 decreased $11.9 million, or 28.5%, to $29.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was driven primarily by completion of the ModSpace integration in 2019, which allowed for more precise capital allocation decisions in Q4 2019 relative to Q4 2018. Capital expenditures increased $47.9, or 28.9%, to $213.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, from $165.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net CAPEX4 increased $18.5, or 13.8%, to $152.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was driven primarily by increased investments to support our larger fleet subsequent to the ModSpace acquisition in August 2018.
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we generated $43.7 million of Free Cash Flow1, representing an increase of $63.9 million as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018. Free Cash Flow1 increased $116.9 million to $20.0 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Total long-term debt as of December 31, 2019 was $1,632.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities of $172.6 million offset net cash used in investing activities of $152.6 million. As of December 31, 2019, we had $509.1 million of available borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility.

1 - Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Further information and reconciliations for these Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles in the US ("GAAP") is included at the end of this press release.
2 - The pro forma financial information and performance metrics contained in this press release include the results of WillScot and ModSpace on a pro forma basis for all periods presented. The ModSpace acquisition closed August 15, 2018.
3 - Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX to GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort and therefore no reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided.
4 - Net CAPEX is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release.
5 - Quarterly amounts were adjusted for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), effective retroactively to January 1, 2019, of and therefore do not agree to the Quarterly Reports filed on Form 10-Q for the respective periods of 2019. See reconciliation of the impact of adopting ASC 842 included at the end of this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, pro forma revenue, and Net CAPEX. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before income tax expense, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization adjusted for non-cash items considered non-core to business operations including net currency gains and losses, goodwill and other impairment charges, restructuring costs, costs to integrate acquired companies, costs incurred related to transactions, non-cash charges for stock compensation plans, and other discrete expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of, and proceeds from, rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Net CAPEX is defined as as purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments and purchases of property, plant and equipment (collectively, "Total Capital Expenditures"), less proceeds from 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. Our management believes that the presentation of Net CAPEX provides useful information to investors regarding the net capital invested into our rental fleet and plant, property and equipment each year to assist in analyzing the performance of our business. Pro forma revenue is defined the same as revenue, but includes pre-acquisition results from ModSpace for all periods presented. WillScot believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors because they (i) allow investors to compare performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance; (ii) are used by our board of directors and management to assess our performance; (iii) may, subject to the limitations described below, enable investors to compare the performance of WillScot to its competitors; and (iv) provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. WillScot believes that pro forma revenue is useful to investors because they allow investors to compare performance of the combined Company over various reporting periods on a consistent basis WillScot believes that Net CAPEX provide useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore WillScot’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. For reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release (except as explained below), see “Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in this press release.
Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures is unavailable to WillScot without unreasonable effort. We cannot provide reconciliations of forward looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to WillScot without unreasonable effort. Although we provide a range of Adjusted EBITDA that we believe will be achieved, we cannot accurately predict all the components of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation. WillScot provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial information that we believe is important for purposes of comparison to prior periods and development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of our ongoing operations and analyze our business performance and trends.
We evaluate business segment performance on Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items as described in the reconciliation of our consolidated net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation below. We believe that evaluating segment performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company.
We also regularly evaluate gross profit by segment to assist in the assessment of the operational performance of each operating segment. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be the more important metric because it more fully captures the business performance of the segments, inclusive of indirect costs.
We also evaluate Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure that provides useful information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements.
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. Substantially all such currency gains (losses) are unrealized and attributable to financings due to and from affiliated companies.
- 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, fleet relocation expenses, employee training costs, and other costs.
- Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.
- Other expense includes consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense, and gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider the measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow from operations or other methods of analyzing WillScot’s results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for our working capital needs;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
- other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to meet our obligations. The following tables provide unaudited reconciliations of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of, and proceeds from, rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that the presentation of Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements.
Free Cash Flow for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, is derived by subtracting the cash flows from operating activities and the relevant line items within financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, from corresponding items for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Free Cash Flow for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, is derived by subtracting the cash flows from operating activities and the relevant line items within financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, from corresponding items for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Free Cash Flow for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, is derived by subtracting the cash flows from operating activities and the relevant line items within financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, from corresponding items for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus depreciation on rental equipment. Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit and 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. Our management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it 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 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. Our management believes that the presentation of Net CAPEX provides useful information to investors regarding the net capital invested into our rental fleet and plant, property and equipment each year to assist in analyzing the performance of our business.
The following table provides unaudited reconciliations of Net CAPEX.
