2024 Financial Outlook

financial data, as shown below:

percentages)

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

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

Other Company Developments
As disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filed on November 8, 2024,
Jeffrey Smith notified the Company of his decision to retire from
service on the Company’s Board of Directors effective November 6,
2024. The Company would like to thank Mr. Smith for his valuable
contributions to the Board during his tenure as a director. “It has
been my pleasure to work with Jeff during his time as a Board
member of the Company. I greatly appreciated the guidance that Jeff
provided and found his advice to be extremely helpful as we
navigated the closing and then integration of the largest
transaction in the Company’s history, while making sure to keep us
focused on delivering consistent execution for our partners,” said
Mr. Kessler.
Mr. Smith commented: “When we first engaged with the Company, it
was embarking on a major integration and the turnaround of a new
business line. I am extremely proud of the significant progress
that Jim, Eric and the team have made on both fronts – achieving
synergy targets well ahead of plan and substantially improving
service levels at IAA, all while continuing to perform as the
best-in-class operator in the construction equipment market. I look
forward to watching RB Global’s continued growth. I would also like
to thank Bob and the rest of the Board for keeping the Company
focused throughout this transition, and ensuring RB Global has
best-in-class governance. I am confident the Company is on a path
to deliver on its strategy, and I wish the Board and management all
the best.”
“Jeff has been an invaluable contributor to the RB Global Board
and we are sad to see him depart,” said Bob Elton, Chair of RB
Global. “Given the Company’s great progress, Jeff felt this was the
right time for him to step back from the Board. We are grateful for
his valuable contributions and wish him the best going
forward.”

Key Operating Metrics
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following
key operating metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our
performance, identify trends affecting our business, and make
operating decisions. We believe these key operating metrics are
useful to investors because management uses these metrics to assess
the growth of our business and the effectiveness of our operational
strategies.
We define our key operating metrics as follows:
GTV: Represents total proceeds from
all items sold on our auctions and online marketplaces, third-party
online marketplaces, private brokerage services and other
disposition channels. GTV is not a measure of financial
performance, liquidity, or revenue, and is not presented in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Total service revenue take rate:
Total service revenue divided by total GTV.
Inventory return: Inventory sales
revenue less cost of inventory sold.
Inventory rate: Inventory return
divided by inventory sales revenue.
Total lots sold: A single asset to
be sold or a group of assets bundled for sale as one unit. Low
value assets are sometimes bundled into a single lot, collectively
referred to as “small value lots.”
Historically, we presented GTV from the sale of parts in our
vehicle dismantling business within our automotive sector and
excluded the number of parts sold from our total lots sold metric.
Commencing in the second quarter of 2024, management has begun to
review the number of parts sold in our vehicle dismantling business
within our other sector and as part of our total lots sold
metric.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release references non-GAAP measures. These measures
do not have a standardized meaning and are, therefore, unlikely to
be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The
presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared
under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is
not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute
for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance
with US GAAP.
Please refer to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2024 for a summary of adjusting items
during the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 and
September 30, 2023.
Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and
Diluted Adjusted EPS Available to Common Stockholders
Reconciliation
The Company believes that adjusted net income available to
common stockholders provides useful information about the growth or
decline of the net income available to common stockholders for the
relevant financial period and eliminates the financial impact of
adjusting items the Company does not consider to be part of the
normal operating results. Diluted adjusted EPS available to common
stockholders eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items
from net income available to common stockholders that the Company
does not consider to be part of the normal operating results.
Adjusted net income available to common stockholders is
calculated as net income available to common stockholders,
excluding the effects of adjusting items that we do not consider to
be part of our normal operating results, such as share-based
payments expense, acquisition-related and integration costs,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive transition
costs and certain other items. Net income available to common
stockholders is calculated as net income attributable to
controlling interests, less cumulative dividends on Series A Senior
Preferred Shares and allocated earnings to participating
securities.
Diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders is
calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of dilutive shares
outstanding, except that it is computed based upon the lower of the
two-class method or the if-converted method, which includes the
effects of the assumed conversion of the Series A Senior Preferred
Shares and the effect of shares issuable under the Company’s
stock-based incentive plans, if such effect is dilutive.
The following table reconciles adjusted net income available to
common stockholders and diluted adjusted EPS available to common
stockholders to net income available to common stockholders and
diluted EPS available to common stockholders, which are the most
directly comparable GAAP measures in our consolidated financial
statements:

Adjusted EBITDA
The Company believes adjusted EBITDA provides useful information
about the growth or decline of its net income when compared between
different financial periods. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a
key performance measure because the Company believes it facilitates
operating performance comparisons from period to period and
provides management with the ability to monitor its controllable
incremental revenues and costs.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation and
amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, and subtracting
interest income from net income, as well as adding back the
adjusting items.
The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net income,
which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure in, or
calculated from, our consolidated financial statements:

Adjusted Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA
Reconciliation
The Company believes that comparing adjusted net debt/adjusted
EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis for different financial
periods provides useful information about the performance of its
operations as an indicator of the amount of time it would take to
settle both the Company’s short and long-term debt. The Company
does not consider this to be a measure of its liquidity, which is
its ability to settle only short-term obligations, but rather a
measure of how well it funds liquidity. Measures of liquidity are
noted under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Adjusted net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash
equivalents from short and long-term debt and long-term debt in
escrow. Adjusted net debt/Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing
adjusted net debt by adjusted EBITDA.
The following table reconciles adjusted net debt to debt,
adjusted EBITDA to net income, and adjusted net debt/ adjusted
EBITDA to debt/ net income, respectively, which are the most
directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our
consolidated financial statements.
