Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. (“WillScot Mobile Mini” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading business services provider specializing in innovative flexible work space and portable storage solutions in the United States (“US”), Canada, and Mexico. The Company leases, sells, delivers and installs modular space solutions and portable storage products through an integrated network of branch locations that spans North America.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of WillScot Mobile Mini and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest and contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary by management to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the dat e of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). ASU 2021-08 requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements or related disclosures.
NOTE 2 - Acquisitions
WillScot Mobile Mini is the holding company for the Williams Scotsman and Mobile Mini family of companies, which resulted from the combination of WillScot Corporation (“WillScot”) and Mobile Mini, Inc. (“Mobile Mini”) through a merger that occurred on July 1, 2020 (the "Merger").
Business Combinations
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company acquired a national provider of cold storage solutions and a regional modular space manufacturing and leasing business, which consisted primarily of approximately 2,200 climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage trailers and 1,300 modular leasing units, respectively.

Leasing and Services Revenue
The majority of revenue ( 76 % for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 73 % and 74 % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively) was generated by rental income subject to the guidance of ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842 ) ("ASC 842"). The remaining revenue was generated by performance obligations in contracts with customers for services or sale of units subject to the guidance in ASC 606.
Receivables and Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses from trade receivables and manages credit risk at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both ASC 606 and ASC 842, the discussions below on credit risk and the Company's allowance for credit losses address the Company's total revenues. Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company's receivables is limited because of a large number of geographically diverse customers who operate in a variety of end user markets.
The Company assesses each customer’s ability to pay for the products it leases or sells by conducting a credit review that considers expected billing exposure, timing for payment and the customer’s established credit rating. The Company performs its credit review of new customers at inception of the customer relationship and for existing customers when the customer transacts after a defined period of dormancy. The Company also considers contract terms and conditions, country risk and business strategy in the evaluation.
The Company monitors ongoing credit exposure through an active review of customer balances against contract terms and due dates and may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables. The allowance for credit losses reflects the estimate of the amount of receivables that the Company will be unable to collect based on historical collection experience and, as applicable, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. The Company's estimate reflects changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
When customers are billed in advance for services, the Company defers recognition of revenue until the related services are performed, which generally occurs at the end of the contract. The balance sheet classification of deferred revenue is determined based on the contractual lease term. For contracts that continue beyond their initial contractual lease term, revenue continues to be deferred until the services are performed. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 122.1 million and $ 102.2 million , respectively, of deferred revenue related to services billed in advance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $ 15.4 million and $ 60.5 million , respectively, of deferred revenue billed in advance as of December 31, 2022 was recognized as revenue.
The Company does not have material contract assets, and the Company's uncompleted contracts with customers have unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations. For the future services revenues that are expected to be recognized within twelve months, the Compa ny has elected to utilize the optional disclosure exemption made available regarding transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations. The transaction price for performance obligations that will be completed in greater than twelve months is variable based on the market rate in place at the time those services are provided, and therefore, the Company is applying the optional expedient to omit disclosure of such amounts.
The primary costs to obtain contracts fo r new and rental unit sales with the Company's customers are commissions. The Company pays its sales force commissions on the sale of new and rental units. For new and rental unit sales, the period benefited by each commission is less than one year; therefore, the commissions are expensed as incurred.

Asset Backed Lending Facility
On July 1, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an asset-based credit agreement (the "ABL Facility") that initially provided for revolving credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up to $ 2.4 billion, consisting of: (i) a senior secured asset-based US dollar revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $ 2.0 billion and (ii) a $ 400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility available to be drawn in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Euros. The ABL Facility was initially scheduled to mature on July 1, 2025.
On June 30, 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility to, among other things, extend the expiration date until June 30, 2027 and increase the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facilities 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”), (ii) a $ 400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Multicurrency Facility"), available to be drawn in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Euros, and (iii) an accordion feature that permits the Company to increase the lenders' commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $ 750.0 million and the amount of suppressed availability as defined in the ABL Facility, subject to
20
the satisfaction of customary conditions including lender approval, plus any voluntary prepayments that are accompanied by permanent commitment reductions under the ABL facility. The amendment also converted the interest rate for borrowings denominated in US Dollars from a LIBOR-based rate to a Term-SOFR-based rate with an interest period of one month and adjusted the applicable margins. The applicable margin for Canadian BA rate, Term SOFR, British Pounds Sterling and Euros loans is 1.50 %. The facility includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % in addition to the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate and Canadian Prime Rate loans is 0.50 %. The applicable margins are subject to one step down of 0.25 % based on excess availability or one step up of 0.25 % based on the Company's leverage ratio. The ABL Facility requires the payment of a commitment fee on the unused available borrowings of 0.20 % annually. The weighted average interest rate on the balance outstanding as of September 30, 2023, as adjusted for the effects of the interest rate swap agreements, was 6.20 %. Refer to Note 12 for a more detailed discussion on interest rate management.
Borrowing availability under the US Facility and the Multicurrency Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolver commitments and (ii) the borrowing base ("Line Cap"). At September 30, 2023, the Line Cap was $ 3.2 billion and the Company had $ 1.3 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, including $ 1.1 billion under the US Facility and $ 183.7 million under the Multicurrency Facility. Borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility is made available for up to $ 220.0 million letters of credit and $ 220.0 million of swingline loans. At September 30, 2023, the available capacity was $ 197.2 million of letters of credit and $ 217.0 million of swingline loans. At September 30, 2023, letters of credit and bank guarantees carried fees of 1.625 %. The Company had issued $ 22.8 million of standby letters of credit under the ABL Facility at September 30, 2023.
The Company had approximately $ 1.9 billion outstanding principal under the ABL Facility at September 30, 2023. Debt issuance costs of $ 28.6 million and $ 31.8 million were included in the carrying value of the ABL Facility at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding principal borrowings on the Multicurrency Facility and $ 2.5 million of related debt issuance costs were recorded in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The ABL Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary, Williams Scotsman, Inc. (“WSI”), and the Company’s other subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under the ABL Facility (collectively the “ABL Loan Parties”), subject to customary exclusions.
2031 Senior Secured Notes
On September 25, 2023, WSI completed a private offering of $ 500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.375 % senior secured notes due 2031 (the "2031 Secur ed Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A . P roceeds were used to repay approximately $ 494.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under the ABL Facility and certain fees and expenses. T he 2031 Secured N otes mature on October 1, 2031 and bear interest at a rate of 7.375 % per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2024. Unamortized deferred financing costs pertaining to the 2031 Secured Notes were $ 6.4 million as of September 30, 2023.
The 2031 Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, "the Note Guarantors"). WillScot Mobile Mini is not a guarantor of the 2031 Secured Notes. The Note Guarantors are guarantors or borrowers under the ABL Facility. To the extent lenders under the ABL Facility release the guarantee of any Note Guarantor, such Note Guarantor will also be released from obligations under the 2031 Secured Notes. The 2031 Secured Notes and related guarantees are secured by a second priority security interest in substantially the same assets of WSI and the Note Guarantors securing the ABL Facility. Upon the repayment of the 2025 Secured Notes and the 2028 Secured Notes, if the lien associated with the ABL Facility represents the only lien outstanding on the collateral under the 2031 Secured Notes (other than certain permitted), the collateral securing the 2031 Secured Notes will be released and the 2031 Secured Notes will become unsecured subject to satisfaction of customary conditions.
Finance Leases
The Company maintains finance leases primarily related to transportation equipment. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, obligations under finance leases for transportation related equipment were $ 100.9 million and $ 74.4 million, respectively. Refer to Note 5 for further information.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and restrictions associated with its debt instruments as of September 30, 2023.
NOTE 10 – Equity
Common Stock
In connection with the stock compensation vesting events and stock option exercises described in Note 14, the Company issued 546,865 shares of Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 .
Stock Repurchase Program
In May 2023, the Board of Directors approved a reset of the share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $ 1.0 billion of its outstanding shares of Common Stock and equivalents. The stock repurchase program does
21
not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and the timing and exact amount of any repurchases will depend on various factors, including market pricing, business, legal, accounting, and other considerations.
In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted into law and imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. The Company reflected the applicable excise tax in equity as part of the cost basis of the stock repurchased and recorded a corresponding liability for the excise taxes payable in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 , the Company repurchased 15,037,843 shares of Common Stock for $ 674.8 million, excluding excise tax. As of September 30, 2023, $ 634.2 million of the approved share repurchase pool remained available.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 , a gain of $ 3.5 million was reclassified from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swaps. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 , a gain of $ 7.9 million an d a loss of $ 4.5 million , respectively, were reclassified from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 12. Associated with these reclassifications, t he Company recorded tax expense of $ 0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and tax expense of $ 2.1 million and a tax benefit of $ 1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 11 – Income Taxes
The Company recorded $ 32.8 million and $ 94.9 million of income tax expense from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $ 28.3 million and $ 61.2 million of income tax expense from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 26.4 % and 27.1 %, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 26.6 % and 25.7 %, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and non-deductible executive compensation. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes partially offset by a discrete tax benefit related to employee stock vesting.
NOTE 12 - Derivatives
In 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a financial counterparty that effectively converted $ 400.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the Company’s former asset backed lending facility into fixed-rate debt. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR and made payments based on a fixed rate of 3.06 % on the notional amount. The swap agreement was designated and qualified as a hedge of the Company’s exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the former asset backed lending facility and terminated on May 29, 2022.
In January 2023, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $ 750.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the Company’s ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and makes payments based on a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.44 % on the notional amount. The swap agreements were designated and qualified as hedges of the Company’s exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the ABL Facility. The swap agreements terminate on June 30, 2027. The floating rate that the Company receives under the terms of these swap agreements was 5.32 % at September 30, 2023.
The location and the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges were as follows:
(in thousands) Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2023
Cash Flow Hedges:

Foreign Currency Contract
In December 2022, the Company executed a contingent forward contract to sell £ 330.0 million upon the closing of the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions segment at a price ranging from 1.20550 to 1.20440 US Dollars (USD) to British Pounds Sterling. The price was dependent upon the date of the closing of the sale. This contract, which was to expire on September 11, 2023, mitigated the foreign currency risk of the USD relative to the British Pound Sterling prior to the closing of the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions segment. This contract did not qualify for hedge accounting and was revalued at fair value at December 31, 2022 with unrealized gains and losses reflected in the Company's results of operations. Upon the closing of the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions segment on January 31, 2023, the Company settled the contingent foreign currency forward contract and received cash at an exchange rate of 1.205 USD to British Pounds Sterling.

NOTE 13 - Fair Value Measures
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Company utilizes the suggested accounting guidance for the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions
The Company has assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts. Based on the borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of finance leases at September 30, 2023 approximate their respective book values.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial liabilities which are disclosed, but not measured, at fair value, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy:

As of September 30, 2023, the carrying values of the ABL Facility, the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $ 28.6 million, $ 4.4 million, $ 5.8 million , and $ 6.4 million , respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the ABL Facility, the 2025 Secured Notes, and the 2028 Secured Notes included $ 31.8 million, $ 6.2 million, and $ 6.5 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability.
The carrying value of the ABL Facility, excluding debt issuance costs, approximates fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of current market rates. The fair value of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes is based on their last trading price at the end of each period obtained from a third party. The classification and the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 12.

NOTE 14 - Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense includes grants of stock options, time-based restricted stock units ("Time-Based RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("Performance-Based RSUs," together with Time-Based RSUs, the "RSUs"). In addition, stock-based payments to non-executive directors includes grants of restricted stock awards ("RSAs"). Time-Based RSUs and RSAs are valued based on the intrinsic value of the difference between the exercise price, if any, of the award and the fair market value of WillScot Mobile Mini's Common Stock on the grant date. Performance-Based RSUs are valued based on a Monte Carlo simulation model to reflect the impact of the Performance-Based RSU's market condition. The probability of satisfying a market condition is considered in the estimation of the grant-date fair value for Performance-Based RSUs and the compensation cost is not reversed if the market condition is not achieved, provided the requisite service has been provided.

For 2023 grants, the TSR of the Company's Common Stock is compared to the TSR of the constituents in the S&P 400 Index. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0 % to 200 % based on the TSR attainment levels defined by the Company's Compensation Committee. The 100 % target payout is tied to performance at the 50 % percentile, with a payout curve ranging from 0 % (for performance less than the 25 % percentile) to 200 % (for performance above the 85 % percentile).

NOTE 15 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise and establishes reserves as required. As of September 30, 2023, with respect to these outstanding matters, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
NOTE 16 - Segment Reporting
The Company operates in two reportable segments as follows: Modular Solutions ("Modular") and Storage Solutions ("Storage"). Total assets for each reportable segment are not available because the Company utilizes a centralized approach to working capital management. Transactions between reportable segments are not significant. During the first quarter of 2023, the ground level office business within the Modular segment was transferred to the Storage segment, and associated revenues, expenses, and operating metrics were transferred to the Storage segment. All periods presented have been retrospectively revised to reflect this change within the Modular and Storage segments. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, this resulted in approximately $ 13.3 million of revenue and $ 7.3 million of gross profit being transferred from the Modular segment to the Storage segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $ 36.8 million of revenue and $ 20.9 million of gross profit were transferred from the Modular segment to the Storage segment.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization. The Company reflects further adjustments to EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what the Company considers transactions or events not related to its core and ongoing business operations. The 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. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important metric because it reflects the business performance of the segments, inclusive of indirect costs. The Company also regularly evaluates gross profit by segment to assist in the assessment of its operational performance.
