The dividend will be paid on March 15, 2017 to shareholders of record on March 1, 2017.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Drove a 2.1% increase in North America portable storage quarterly core activations, which contributed to an all-time high for total portable storage units on rent during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
  • Delivered the highest level of seasonal units on rent in company history.
  • Raised portable storage rental rates by 2.9% year-over-year and 1.6% over the third quarter of 2016; rates on new rentals were up 2.1% year-over-year.
  • Increased portable storage rental revenues 3.3% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. Not adjusting for unfavorable currency fluctuations, portable storage rental revenues decreased 0.5%.
  • Maintained steady downstream specialty containment rental revenues year-over-year.
  • Achieved adjusted EBITDA of $54.2 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 41.2%.
  • Drove portable storage unit utilization to an average of 75.2% during the quarter, up 120 basis points from the prior-year period.
  • Generated net cash from operating activities of $40.2 million and strong free cash flow of $27.7 million, marking our 36th consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow.

CEO Comments

Erik Olsson, Mobile Mini’s President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “We continued to drive portable storage pricing, with a solid 2.9% increase this quarter compared to the prior-year period, marking the sixteenth consecutive quarter of price increases, resulting in total year-over-year rental revenue growth of 3.3% in the fourth quarter of 2016. North American core activations increased 2.1% over the prior-year period, demonstrating that we are gaining traction in the overall development and success of our salesforce. The development of our Inside Sales Representatives through revised hiring processes, incremental sales management and focused training remains an immediate priority and I am pleased to say that we saw stabilization of turnover during the quarter.”

Mr. Olsson continued, “In our specialty containment business, downstream rental revenues remained healthy at levels similar to the prior year. However, challenges resulting largely from weak commodity prices continued to negatively affect our remaining specialty containment lines. We are well situated to benefit in 2017 from organic growth in the downstream business at existing branches, as well as through the utilization of the existing portable storage footprint to support geographic growth. We enter 2017 in a position of strength and poised to capitalize on our robust infrastructure and strengthened salesforce, which we expect to result in free cash flow growth in 2017.”

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 total rental revenues, and our portable storage rental revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $4.0 million higher than when calculated in accordance with GAAP.
