CEO Comments

Kelly Williams, Mobile Mini’s President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “I am very pleased with the performance of Mobile Mini in the third quarter of 2019. Throughout the company, the processes we have implemented to drive efficiencies, combined with higher rental revenues, drove a $6.2 million, or 11.3%, increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA, with an adjusted EBITDA margin in excess of our 40% Evergreen target, a notable achievement. The strong increase in profitability reflects top-line growth and margin expansion in both our North American segments. North American Storage Solutions rental revenues were up compared to the prior-year quarter by a healthy 6.3%, driven primarily by increased rates as well as favorable mix. Revenues in our Tank & Pump Solutions downstream business continued to grow year-over-year, despite a difficult comparison to a very strong prior-year quarter. The downstream market is now settling into more normalized activity.”

Mr. Williams continued, “Over the past several years we have transformed Mobile Mini into a significantly more efficient, scalable organization. The transformation includes substantial development of our technology capabilities and enhancements throughout our supply chain, including asset management. We are now better positioned than at any time in our Company’s history to drive profitable growth and generate shareholder value through the highly effective execution of our business strategy and the optimal deployment of capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 we generated $92 million of free cash flow. This robust cash flow enables us to reinvest in the business, reduce our leverage ratio and return capital to our shareholders through dividends and opportunistic stock repurchases. In addition to organic growth in existing locations, we plan to drive multi-year growth for Mobile Mini both through acquisitions in our Storage Solutions business and greenfield expansion into attractive new geographic markets for both business segments. Importantly, we expect to continue to grow adjusted EBITDA and generate very strong free cash flow for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020.”

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income and related earnings per share information exclude certain transactions that management believes are not indicative of our business. We believe that the inclusion of this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier to compare our financial performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income before discontinued operations, net of tax (if applicable), interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and debt restructuring or extinguishment expense (if applicable), including any write-off of deferred financing costs. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes certain non-cash expenses, including share-based compensation, as well as transactions that management believes are not indicative of our business. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as defined, exclude some but not all items that affect our cash flow from operating activities, they may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies.

We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and an overall evaluation of our financial condition. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows from operations, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, respectively, divided by total revenues expressed as a percentage.

Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, minus or plus, net cash used in or provided by investing activities, excluding acquisitions and certain transactions. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. We present free cash flow because we believe it provides useful information regarding our liquidity and ability to meet our short-term obligations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures for, among other things, investments in our existing business, debt service obligations, payment of authorized quarterly dividends, repurchase of our common stock and strategic small acquisitions.

Constant Currency. We calculate the effect of currency fluctuations on current periods by translating the results for our business in the U.K. during the current period using the average exchange rates from the comparative period. We present constant currency information to provide useful information to assess our underlying business excluding the effect of material foreign currency rate fluctuations. Calculated in constant currency, our rental revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $1.1 million and $0.4 million higher than when calculated in accordance with GAAP.
