The Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of 20.6 cents per share, which will be paid on November 30, 2016 to shareholders of record on November 9, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

Achieved all-time high quarterly portable storage core activations, resulting in an all-time high for units on rent as of September 30, 2016.
Increased portable storage rental revenues 2.4% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. Including the impact of unfavorable currency fluctuations, portable storage rental revenues decreased 1.2%.
Increased portable storage rental rates by 2.4% year-over-year and 0.8% over the second quarter of 2016; rates on new rentals were up 2.3% year-over-year.
Grew downstream specialty containment rental revenues year-over-year and sequentially, achieving the highest quarterly rental revenues since the December 2014 acquisition of this business.
Delivered adjusted EBITDA of $46.7 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 36.2%.
Drove portable storage unit utilization to an average of 70.5% during the quarter and to 73.6% as of quarter-end.
Produced specialty containment average utilization of 64.2%, when calculated using original equipment cost, an increase from 63.5% in the second quarter of 2016.
Experienced higher inside sales representative (“ISR”) turnover, resulting in lower sales productivity and flat headcount for the quarter.

CEO Comments

Erik Olsson, Mobile Mini’s President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “We continue to be strongly positioned in both the portable storage and specialty containment markets. Portable storage pricing increased a solid 2.4% this quarter compared to the prior-year period, marking the fifteenth quarter in a row we have achieved year-over-year increases. To drive additional top-line growth, our immediate focus is on executing our salesforce model and providing the tools to our inside sales representatives to ensure their success. I am pleased to say that we saw an improvement in ISR headcount towards the end of the quarter, reaching a total of 214 ISRs as of today.”

Mr. Olsson continued, “In our specialty containment business, downstream rental revenues were up a healthy 5%, compared to the prior-year quarter. However, continued weak commodity prices along with the upstream headwinds negatively impacted our remaining specialty containment lines, resulting in an overall 7% decrease in rental revenues for this business. With that said, I am happy to report that sequentially, specialty containment revenues increased 6%.”

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 United Kingdom 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 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $3.6 million higher than when calculated using GAAP.
