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 Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. ("WillScot Mobile Mini"), our 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 or prior periods.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (“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.
Executive Summary and Outlook
We are a leading business services provider specializing in innovative flexible work space and portable storage solutions. We service diverse end markets across all sectors of the economy throughout the United States ("US"), Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom ("UK"). As of September 30, 2022, our branch network included approximately 260 branch locations and additional drop lots to service over 85,000 customers. We offer our customers an extensive selection of “Ready to Work” modular space and portable storage solutions with over 167,000 modular space units and over 239,000 portable storage units in our fleet, representing over 130 million square feet of relocatable space.
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 modular space and portable storage lease portfolio, excluding seasonal portable storage units, is approximately 30 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, as we did in 2020 and 2021 to service emerging demand in the healthcare and government sectors related to COVID-19, as well as expanded space requirements related to social distancing. We track several market leading indicators to predict demand, including those related to our two largest end markets, the commercial and industrial segment and the construction segment, which collectively accounted for approximately 47% and 41% of our revenues, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
We remain focused on our core priorities of growing leasing revenues by increasing units on rent, both organically and through mergers and acquisitions, delivering “Ready to Work” solutions to our customers with value added products and services ("VAPS"), and on continually improving the overall customer experience.
Significant Developments
Divestiture
On September 30, 2022, we sold our Tank and Pump Solutions ("Tank and Pump") business for $319.5 million. Proceeds from the sale will be used to support ongoing reinvestment in our core Modular and Storage operating segments and other capital allocation priorities. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, we determined that the criteria for discontinued operations presentation were met during the third quarter of 2022 and results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 for Tank and Pump are reported in income from discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the carrying value of the divested business' assets and liabilities are presented within assets and liabilities held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
As part of the divestiture, the Company entered into a customary transition services agreement with the buyer to assist them in the transition of certain functions, including, but not limited to, information technology, accounting and human resources for a period of six months with an option for the buyer to extend the agreement for a period of up to twelve months. There will be no significant continuing involvement with the Tank and Pump business after its disposal.
Inflation and Supply Chain Issues
Similar to many other organizations, we face inflationary pressures across most of our input costs such as building materials, labor, transportation and fuel. Inflation has contributed to increased capital costs for both new units as well as for refurbishment of our existing units. However, given our scale and our strong rate performance, we believe we have been able to navigate the inflationary environment well and have consistently driven margin improvements during this period of rising costs. Additionally, given the majority of our revenue is derived from leasing our existing lease fleet units to customers and our material purchases to maintain these units consists primarily of general building materials, we have not experienced significant supply chain issues to date.
Asset Acquisitions
During the third quarter of 2022, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of several entities, which consisted primarily of approximately 7,600 storage units and 3,000 modular units for $104.7 million in cash. When combined with other recent acquisitions over the past four quarters, we have acquired assets and liabilities from 13 regional and local storage and modular companies, consisting primarily of 16,800 storage units and 9,700 modular units.
Share and Warrant Repurchases
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased and cancelled 33,965 of the 2018 Warrants for $0.6 million. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 1,037,379 of the 2018 Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 631,863 shares of common stock. At September 30, 2022, 3,006,829 of the 2018 Warrants were outstanding.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased a total of 14,575,160 shares of Common Stock and stock equivalents for $524.4 million, including the repurchased warrants. As of September 30, 2022, we had $863.3 million remaining of a $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization under our stock repurchase program. Given our growth strategy and the predictability of our free cash flow, we believe that repurchases will be a reoccurring capital allocation priority.
Third Quarter Highlights
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, unless otherwise noted, key drivers of our financial performance included:
•Total revenues from continuing operations increased by $143.2 million, or 31.1%, attributable to organic revenue growth levers in the business and due to the impact of acquisitions. Leasing revenue increased $104.9 million, or 30.6%, and delivery and installation revenue increased $40.9 million, or 44.5%. Additionally, rental unit sales increased $2.7 million, or 24.1%, and new unit sales revenue decreased $5.5 million, or 35.7%. We estimate that recent acquisitions completed over the past four quarters contributed approximately $22.4 million to total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Key leasing revenue drivers included:
–Average portable storage units on rent increased 41,048 units, or 25.1%, and average modular space units on rent increased 4,153 units, or 3.8%, across all segments. Approximately 53% of the increase in total average units on rent was driven by units on rent added through recent acquisitions and the other 47% was driven by increases in organic delivery activity and lower return activity during 2021 and 2022.
–Average modular space monthly rental rate increased $140, or 18.3%, to $907 driven by strong pricing performance across the NA Modular and NA Storage segments. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased by $157, or 18.8%, in the NA Modular segment and by $144, or 23.9%, in the NA Storage segment. Average modular space monthly rental rates decreased by $63, or 13.9%, in the UK Storage segment due to the weakening of the British Pound and were up £1, or 0.3%, in local currency.
–Average portable storage monthly rental rate increased $37, or 25.5%, to $182 driven by increased pricing as a result of our price management tools and processes, further supported by high utilization, and by an acceleration earlier into the third quarter of our seasonal retail business.
–Average utilization for portable storage units increased 500 basis points ("bps") to 88.9% as compared to the same period in 2021 driven by increased demand in 2022 including the acceleration earlier into the third quarter of our seasonal retail business as compared to the same period in 2021. Average utilization for modular space units decreased 120 bps to 68.9%.
•NA Modular segment revenue, which represented 62.1% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased $76.3 million, or 25.5%, to $375.4 million. The increase was driven by our core
leasing revenue, which grew $51.6 million, or 23.5%, due to continued growth of pricing and value added products. Delivery and installation revenues increased $26.4 million, or 45.5%, driven by increased pricing on new deliveries and returns and increased delivery volumes as compared to 2021. Rental unit sales increased $4.0 million, or 51.3%, and new unit sales decreased $5.6 million, or 41.5%. NA Modular segment revenue drivers for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included:
–Modular space average monthly rental rate of $991 increased 18.8% year over year representing a continuation of our long-term price optimization initiative and VAPS penetration opportunities across our portfolio.
–Average modular space units on rent increased 3,146, or 3.7%, year over year driven primarily by units on rent added through recent acquisitions.
–Average modular space monthly utilization increased 20 bps to 67.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.
•NA Storage segment revenue, which represented 33.5% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased $68.7 million, or 51.3%, to $202.6 million. The increase was driven by our core leasing revenue, which grew $55.4 million, or 54.7%, due to increased units on rent driven by significant increases in delivery activity during 2021 and 2022 as economic activity rebounded versus 2020, recent acquisition activity, and increased pricing and value added products. Delivery and installation revenues increased $14.3 million, or 50.5%, driven by increased demand for new project deliveries, and by increased pricing on new deliveries and returns as compared to 2021. Rental unit sales decreased $1.4 million, or 45.2%, and new unit sales increased $0.4 million, or 30.8%.
NA Storage segment revenue drivers for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included:
•Portable storage average monthly rental rate of $197 increased 27.1% year over year as a result of our price management tools and processes, further supported by high utilization, and by an acceleration earlier into the third quarter of our seasonal retail business. Modular space average monthly rental rate of $746 increased 23.9% year over year as a result of price optimization and early benefits from increased VAPS penetration opportunities.
•Average portable storage units on rent increased 38,823, or 28.3%, year over year. Increases in organic activity drove an increase in average portable storage units on rent of approximately 14%, or 19,000 units on rent, including an acceleration earlier into the third quarter of our seasonal retail business. The remaining increase of approximately 20,000 units on rent was driven by units added in recent acquisitions. Average modular space units on rent increased 1,736, or 10.6%, year over year driven by increases in organic delivery activity as well as due to approximately 600 acquired units on rent.
•Average portable storage monthly utilization increased 560 bps to 88.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Average modular space monthly utilization decreased 390 bps to 73.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.
•UK Storage segment revenue, which represented 4.3% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased $1.9 million, or 6.8%, to $26.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.3 million, or 9.8%, to $12.0 million driven entirely by the weakening of the British Pound relative to the US Dollar. Unfavorable currency fluctuations reduced Adjusted EBITDA by $2.0 million in GBP. In local currency, revenue increased 9.1% year-over-year, driven by a 13.6% increase in portable storage average monthly rental rates and a 8.4% increase in average portable storage units on rent, and Adjusted EBITDA increased by 5.7% year-over-year.
•Generated income from continuing operations of $85.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 representing an increase of $28.6 million, or 46.8%, versus the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net income including income from discontinued operations was $128.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
•Generated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $251.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase of $72.1 million, or 40.2%, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was driven primarily by increased leasing gross profit. Including results from discontinued operations representing the divestiture of the Tank and Pump segment, Adjusted EBITDA was $264 million.
▪Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 41.6% in the third quarter of 2022 and increased 270 bps versus prior year driven by increased leasing and delivery and installation margins as a result of increased volumes and pricing, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expense.
•Generated Free Cash Flow of $83.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 representing an increase of $4.9 million as compared to the same period in 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $80.0 million to $210.4 million. Net cash used in investing activities excluding acquisitions and sale of discontinued
operations increased by $38.6 million to $127.0 million to support increases in delivery activity during 2022 as economic activity rebounded versus 2021, and the related unit on rent growth.
•Returned $197.5 million to shareholders by repurchasing 5.3 million shares of Common Stock and stock equivalents during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and closed four acquisitions totaling approximately 7,600 storage units and 3,000 modular units for $104.7 million. 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, continuing our deleveraging trajectory, opportunistically executing accretive acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenue: Total revenue increased $143.2 million, or 31.1%, to $604.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $461.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Leasing revenue increased $104.9 million, or 30.6%, as compared to the same period in 2021 driven by improved pricing and value added products, and an increase of 41,048 average portable storage units on rent driven by significant increases in delivery activity during 2021 and into 2022 as economic activity rebounded versus 2020 and recent acquisition activity. Delivery and installation revenues increased $40.9 million, or 44.5%, due to increased overall activity and increased pricing due to our ability to pass through increasing fuel costs and general price increases. Rental unit sales increased $2.7 million, or 24.1%, and new unit sales decreased $5.5 million, or 35.7%. We estimate that recent acquisitions completed over the past four quarters contributed approximately $22.4 million to total revenues for three months ended September 30, 2022.
Total average units on rent for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 318,281 and 273,080, respectively, representing an increase of 45,201, or 16.6%. Of this increase, approximately 20,000 portable storage units and 4,000 modular space units on rent were added through recent acquisitions. Portable storage average units on rent increased by 41,048 units, or 25.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 driven by strong demand and acquisitions. The average portable storage unit utilization rate during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 88.9%, as compared to
83.9% during the same period in 2021. Modular space average units on rent increased 4,153 units, or 3.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021 driven primarily by acquisitions. The average modular space unit utilization rate during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 68.9%, as compared to 70.1% during the same period in 2021.
Modular space average monthly rental rates increased 18.3% to $907 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Improved pricing was achieved across all relevant segments. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased by $157, or 18.8%, to $991 in the NA Modular segment and by $144, or 23.9%, in the NA Storage segment. Increases were driven by a continuation of our long-term price optimization initiative and VAPS penetration opportunities across our NA Modular segment as well as by some early application of these same price management tools and processes across the NA Storage segment. The NA Storage segment also continued to see early benefits from increased VAPS penetration opportunities.
Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 25.5% to $182 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 driven by our price management tools and processes, further supported by high utilization and by an acceleration earlier into the third quarter of our seasonal retail business at increased rates.
Gross Profit: Our gross profit percentage was 52.0% and 51.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our adjusted gross profit percentage, which excludes the effects of depreciation, was 63.5% and 63.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross profit increased $75.1 million, or 31.4%, to $314.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $239.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit was a result of a $71.0 million increase in leasing gross profit, increased delivery and installation gross profit of $19.4 million and increased new and rental unit sale margins of $0.8 million. These increases were primarily a result of increased revenues due to favorable average monthly rental rates across both portable storage and modular space units, increased pricing on delivery and installation, as well as due to higher units on rent and increased activity levels driving higher delivery and installation revenues, partially offset by increased variable costs during the period as a result of higher activity levels in the current quarter and inflationary pressures across many of our cost categories. Depreciation increased $16.2 million as a result of capital investments made in our rental equipment, including the impact of recent acquisitions.
SG&A: Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $18.1 million, or 14.2%, to $145.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $127.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Employee costs excluding stock compensation increased $12.2 million, or 20.6%, driven by a 12% increase in SG&A headcount to support both organic and inorganic growth, wage increases, and increased variable compensation as a result of the growth achieved. Stock compensation expense increased $1.0 million to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Integration costs decreased $4.3 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The remaining increases were primarily driven by increased economic activity and inflationary increases, including increased occupancy and office costs, legal and professional fees, insurance, travel expenses, and marketing cost increases.
Other Depreciation and Amortization: Other depreciation and amortization increased $0.6 million to $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $16.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by an increase in depreciation of vehicles, buildings and equipment.
Lease Impairment Expense and Other Related Charges: Lease impairment expense and other related charges were $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease resulted from fewer closed locations during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Restructuring Costs: Restructuring costs were $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily driven by employee termination costs resulting from the elimination of positions due to the merger.
Currency Losses, net: Currency losses, net changed by $0.1 million to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This change was primarily attributable to the impact of foreign currency exchanges rate changes on intercompany receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary's functional currency.
Other (Income) Expense, net: Other (income) expense, net was $2.5 million of income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.5 million of expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Other income, net of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to insurance recoveries in the quarter related to Hurricane Ida in the Gulf Coast area of the United States in 2021.
Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $9.2 million, or 31.7%, to $38.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $29.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to both an increase in outstanding borrowings and an increase in the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility due to increased benchmark interest rates, partially offset by a favorable margin reduction as a result of the June 30, 2022
amendment to the credit facility. See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.
Income Tax Expense: Income tax expense increased $25.0 million to $30.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in expense was driven by the pre-tax income increase for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Revenue: Total revenue increased $336.7 million, or 26.0%, to $1,632.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $1,295.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Leasing revenue increased $260.3 million, or 26.9%, as compared to the same period in 2021 driven by an increase of 38,780 average modular space and portable storage units on rent as a result of increased economic activity and acquisitions, and improved pricing and value added products. Delivery and installation revenues increased $88.1 million, or 34.8%, due to increased overall activity and increased pricing due to our ability to pass through increasing fuel costs and general price increases. Rental unit sales decreased $2.0 million, or 4.9%, and new unit sales decreased $9.7 million, or 27.0%.
Total average units on rent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 302,444 and 263,664, respectively. Modular space average units on rent increased 2,787 units, or 2.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Employee costs excluding stock compensation increased $45.3 million, or 27.2%, driven by a 13% increase in SG&A headcount to support both organic and inorganic growth, wage increases, and increased variable compensation as a result of the growth achieved. Stock compensation expense increased $8.3 million to $22.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Integration costs decreased $10.0 million to $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The remaining increases were primarily driven by increased economic activity and inflationary increases, including increased occupancy and office costs, legal and professional fees, insurance, travel expenses, and marketing cost increases.

Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $14.6 million to $102.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $87.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to both an increase in outstanding borrowings and an increase in the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility due to increased benchmark interest rates, partially offset by a favorable margin reduction as a result of the June 30, 2022 amendment to the credit facility. See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.
Fair Value Loss on Common Stock Warrant Liabilities: The fair value loss on common stock warrant liabilities was $26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the change in estimated fair value of common stock warrant liabilities. Subsequent to May 2021, no 2015 Private Warrants were outstanding.

Business Segment Results
Following the divestiture of the Tank and Pump segment, the Company operates in three reportable segments as follows: NA Modular, NA Storage and UK Storage. NA Modular represents the activities of the North American modular business. NA Storage represents the activities of the North American portable storage business. UK Storage represents the results of all modular and portable storage operations in the UK. During the third quarter of 2021, the majority of the portable storage product business within the NA Modular segment was transitioned to the NA Storage segment, and associated revenues, expenses, and operating metrics beginning in the third quarter of 2021 were transferred to the NA Storage segment, representing a shift of approximately $5.0 million of revenue and gross margin per quarter from the NA Modular segment to the NA Storage segment. This adjustment was not made to the historical segment results of prior periods, given its relative immateriality.
The following tables and discussion summarize our reportable segment financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue: Total revenue increased $168.1 million, or 19.7%, to $1,022.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $854.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of a $119.3 million, or 18.7%, increase in leasing revenue, a $52.2 million, or 32.3%, increase in delivery and installation revenues and a $3.2 million, or 11.3%, increase in rental unit sales revenue. The increases to leasing revenue and delivery and installation revenues were partially offset by declines in revenues for portable storage units in the first and second quarters of 2022 as a result of transitioning the majority of the portable storage product business within the NA Modular segment to the NA Storage segment during the third quarter of 2021. Approximately 12,000 units were transferred during the third quarter of 2021 to the NA Storage segment, reallocating approximately $10.0 million of revenue from NA Modular segment to the NA Storage segment in the first six months of 2022 relative to the first six months of 2021. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 18.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $936 driven by the continuation of our long-term price optimization initiative and VAPS penetration opportunities across our portfolio. In addition to improved pricing, average modular space units on rent increased by 1,721 units, or 2.0%, year over year driven primarily by acquisitions.
Gross Profit: Gross profit increased $82.6 million, or 23.1%, to $439.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $357.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher leasing gross profit, which increased $77.7 million, or 16.7%, driven by improved pricing including VAPS and increased modular unit on rent volumes, partially offset by the transfer of portable storage units to the NA Storage segment discussed above, and a $25.2 million increase in delivery and installation gross profit driven by volumes and improved pricing. These increases were further complemented by a $0.5 million increase in new sales gross profit and $1.7 million increase in rental unit sales gross profit. These increases were partially offset by a $22.5 million increase in depreciation of rental equipment related to capital investments made in our rental equipment and due to fleet acquired as part of acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $64.8 million, or 21.0%, to $372.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $307.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by higher leasing gross profit discussed above. SG&A, excluding discrete items, increased $50.0 million, or 26.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to support higher staffing levels for both organic and inorganic growth, wage increases, and increased variable compensation as a result of the growth achieved, increased office and occupancy costs, increased travel expenses, and increased subscription, legal and professional fees.
Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments increased $100.8 million, or 83.8%, to $221.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $120.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These increases were driven by increased refurbishments, and increased new fleet and VAPS purchase volumes, further increased by inflationary pressures.
NA Storage
Revenue: Total revenue increased $171.9 million, or 48.1%, to $529.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $357.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of a $142.0 million, or 53.1%, increase in leasing revenue, and a $36.5 million, or 49.9%, increase in delivery and installation revenues. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in rental unit sales revenue of $5.3 million, or 46.5%. Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 21.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $184 as a result of our price management tools and processes, further supported by high utilization, and by an acceleration earlier into the third quarter of our seasonal retail business. Average portable storage units on rent increased by 42,733 units, or 36.0%, year over year, driven by increased organic economic activity of approximately 17,500 average units on rent, approximately 17,000 average units on rent acquired from acquisitions, and due to the transfer of approximately 12,000 portable storage units on rent from the NA Modular segment, which occurred in the third quarter of 2021 (8,000 average units on rent impact). Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 18.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $673 driven by the continuation of our long-term price optimization initiative and VAPS penetration opportunities across our portfolio. Average modular space units on rent increased by 1,852 units, or 11.3%, year over year, of which approximately 30% was acquisition driven.
Gross Profit: Gross profit increased $126.8 million, or 52.7%, to $367.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $240.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Gross profit on leasing activity increased by $116.8 million year-over-year driven by both increased volume and increased pricing as described above. For delivery and installation, gross profit increased $17.9 million. Sales gross profit decreased by $3.5 million to $3.5 million.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $88.3 million, or 57.0%, to $243.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $155.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by higher leasing gross profit discussed above. SG&A, excluding discrete items, increased $40.6 million, or 38.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to support higher staffing levels for both organic and inorganic growth, wage increases, and increased variable compensation as a result of the growth achieved, increased office and occupancy costs, increased travel expenses, and increased subscription, legal and professional fees.
Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments increased $71.5 million, or 295.5%, to $95.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $24.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021. The increase in purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments was driven primarily by increased purchases of portable storage containers during the period to support organic growth.

Revenue: Total revenue decreased $3.2 million, or 3.9%, to $80.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $83.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar. The decrease was primarily the result of a $1.8 million, or 66.7%, decrease in new unit sales revenue and a $0.6 million, or 3.3%, decrease in delivery and installation revenues. In local currency, total revenue increased £3.6 million, driven by a £3.8 million increase in leasing revenue, and a £0.9 million increase in delivery and installation revenue, partially offset by a £1.1 million decrease in sales revenue. Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 7.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $92. Average portable storage units on rent increased by 2,328 units, or 9.2%, year over year. Average modular space monthly rental rates decreased 4.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $409. Average modular space units on rent decreased by 786 units, or 8.5%, year over year. In local currency, average portable storage monthly rental rates decreased 5.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to £73, and average modular space monthly rental rates decreased 13.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to £325.
Gross Profit: Gross profit decreased $1.8 million, or 3.4%, to $51.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $53.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar. Gross profit on leasing activity decreased by $0.3 million year-over-year. For delivery and installation, gross profit decreased $1.2 million. Sales gross profit decreased by $0.2 million to $0.7 million. In local currency, gross profit increased £2.4 million, or 6.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from £38.5 million.

The increase was driven by higher leasing gross profit discussed above. SG&A, excluding discrete items, decreased $1.8 million, or 9.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In local currency, Adjusted EBITDA increased £2.8 million, or 10.6%.
Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments decreased $0.8 million, or 3.5%, to $21.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $22.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
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 net 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, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee training costs and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.
•Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.
•Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value and extinguishment of common stock warrant liabilities.
•Other expense, including consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense and gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment.
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates business segment 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 segment 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 of the segments, 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 Mobile Mini’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 measures 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 on 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
WillScot Mobile Mini is a holding company that derives its operating cash flow from its operating subsidiaries. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities from our subsidiaries, borrowings under the ABL Facility (as defined below), and sales of equity and debt securities. We believe that our liquidity sources and operating cash flows are sufficient to address our operating, debt service and capital requirements over the next twelve months.
We have consistently accessed the debt and equity 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 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") together with the US Facility (collectively, the “ABL Facility”), available to be drawn in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Euros. 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. At September 30, 2022, we had $1.9 billion outstanding principal and $1.1 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility.
Cash Flow Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Significant factors driving our liquidity include cash flows generated from operating activities and capital expenditures. Our ability to fund our capital needs will be affected by our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to capital markets. The following summarizes our change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
(in thousands) | 2022 | | 2021 |
Net cash from operating activities | $ | 544,238 | | | $ | 392,055 | |
Net cash from investing activities | (225,930) | | | (196,590) | |
Net cash from financing activities | (313,723) | | | (208,935) | |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (1,842) | | | (150) | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 2,743 | | | $ | (13,620) | |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $544.2 million as compared to $392.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $152.2 million, or 38.8%. The increase was due to an increase of $157.5 million of net income, adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by a decrease of $5.2 million in net changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $225.9 million as compared to $196.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $29.3 million. The increase in cash used in investing activities was driven by a $182.3 million increase in cash used for the purchase of rental equipment and refurbishments, a $152.4 million increase in cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired, a $15.0 million decrease in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment, and a $9.5 million increase in cash used for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a $319.5 million increase in proceeds from sale of Tank and Pump business and a $10.3 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $313.7 million as compared to $208.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $104.8 million. The increase was primarily due to a $195.1 million increase in the repurchase and cancellation of common stock and warrants, an $87.1 million increase in repayment of borrowings, and a $27.0 million increase in principal payments on finance lease obligations, partially offset by a $212.1 million increase in receipts from borrowings.
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 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 reconciliations of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |

Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 210,385 | | | $ | 130,447 | | | $ | 544,238 | | | $ | 392,055 | |
Purchase of rental equipment and refurbishments | (135,076) | | | (60,374) | | | (360,465) | | | (178,191) | |
Proceeds from sale of rental equipment | 17,183 | | | 11,597 | | | 52,263 | | | 42,034 | |
Purchases of property, plant and equipment | (10,000) | | | (3,386) | | | (30,253) | | | (20,836) | |
Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment | 894 | | | 209 | | | 1,645 | | | 16,647 | |
Free Cash Flow | $ | 83,386 | | | $ | 78,493 | | | $ | 207,428 | | | $ | 251,709 | |
Cash flow from operations increased by $152.2 million or 38.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cash used in investing activities excluding acquisitions and sale of discontinued operations increased by $196.4 million to support unit on rent and VAPS growth with leasing revenues up 27.0% year-over-year. Cash flow from operations increased by $79.8 million, or 61.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was supported by the 30.6% increase in leasing revenue year-over-year. Free cash flow of $207.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was down $44.3 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 which is consistent with the counter cyclicality of free cash flow in our business.
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, and finance leases, totaling $3.0 billion as of September 30, 2022, $13.5 million of which is obligated to be repaid within the next twelve months. Refer to Note 10 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 equipment and office space. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had lease obligations of $264.7 million, with $60.0 million payable within the next twelve months.
In addition to the aforementioned cash requirements, 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 and equivalents. This program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific amount of shares.
The Company believes its cash, cash flows generated from ongoing operations, continued access to its revolving credit facility, as well as access to debt markets, are sufficient to satisfy its currently anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Policies and 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.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) suggests companies provide additional disclosure on those accounting policies considered most critical. The SEC considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to our financial condition and results of operations and requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management in its application. For a complete discussion of our significant critical accounting policies, see the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 1 of the notes to our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our assessment of recently issued accounting standards.
