WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp.
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 and flexible turnkey temporary space 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 months ended March 31, 2024 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, 2023.
Segment Reporting
In January 2024, the Company completed the unification of its go-to market structure by integrating its modular and storage divisions under a single leadership team organized by geography, achieving local product unification within each metropolitan statistical area and the ability to consistently deliver its portfolio of solutions to its entire customer base. In connection with this change in operating model, the Company realigned the composition of its operating and reportable segments to reflect how its Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews financial information to allocate resources to and assess performance of the segments. As a result, the Company concluded that its two operating segments (US and Other North America) are aggregated into one reportable segment as the operating segments share similar economic characteristics (e.g., comparable gross margins and comparable adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margins) and similar qualitative characteristics as the operating segments offer similar products and services to similar customers, use similar methods to distribute products and are subject to similar competitive risks.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
ASU 2023-07. Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 expands the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures, requiring disclosure of (i) significant segment expenses, (ii) other segment items, (iii) the chief operating decision maker's title and position, (iv) how the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss and (v) interim disclosure of all segment profit, loss and asset disclosures currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 clarifies that a public entity may report one or more measures of segment profit or loss and requires that single reportable segment entities provide all required segment disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its segment disclosures.
ASU 2023-09. Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose more detailed information in their reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate. Public business entities ("PBEs") are required to provide this incremental detail in a numerical, tabular format, while all other entities will do so through enhanced qualitative disclosures. The ASU also requires entities to disclose more detailed information about income taxes paid, including by jurisdiction; pretax income (or loss) from continuing operations; and income tax expense (or benefit). ASU 2023-09 is
8
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its income tax disclosures.
NOTE 2 - Acquisitions
Asset Acquisition
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of one local storage and modular company, which consisted primarily of approximately 60 storage units and 800 modular units, for $ 43.4 million in cash, net of cash acquired. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of rental equipment acquired was $ 39.7 million.
Integration Costs
The Company recorded $ 2.9 million and $ 3.9 million in integration costs related to business combinations, asset acquisitions, and the merger of WillScot Corporation and Mobile Mini, Inc. within selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Entry into an Agreement to Acquire McGrath RentCorp
On January 28, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with McGrath RentCorp ("McGrath"). Upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of McGrath common stock shall be converted into the right to receive either (i) $ 123.00 in cash or (ii) 2.8211 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company expects McGrath’s shareholders will own approximately 12.6 % of the Company following the McGrath acquisition. The McGrath acquisition has been approved by the Company's and McGrath’s respective boards of directors. The McGrath acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval and approval by McGrath’s shareholders, and is expected to close in 2024.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter dated January 28, 2024, which was amended and restated on February 12, 2024 and modified by a Notice of Reduction of Bridge Commitments on February 27, 2024 (the "Commitment Letter"), pursuant to which certain financial institutions have committed to make available, in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, (i) a $ 500 million eight-year senior secured bridge credit facility, (ii) a $ 500 million five-year senior secured bridge credit facility and (iii) an upsize to Williams Scotsman, Inc.'s ("WSI") existing $ 3.7 billion ABL Facility (as defined below) by $ 750 million to $ 4.5 billion to repay McGrath's existing unsecured revolving lines of credit and notes, fund the cash portion of the consideration, and pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the McGrath acquisition and the related transactions.
NOTE 3 - Discontinued Operations
UK Storage Solutions Divestiture
On January 31, 2023, the Company sold its former UK Storage Solutions segment for $ 418.1 million.

Major Product and Service Lines
Equipment leasing is the Company's core business and the primary driver of the Company's revenue and cash flows. This includes turnkey temporary modular space and portable storage units along with value-added products and services ("VAPS"), which include furniture, steps, ramps, basic appliances, internet connectivity devices, integral tool racking, heavy duty capacity shelving, workstations, electrical and lighting products and other items used by customers in connection with the Company's products. The Company also offers its lease customers a damage waiver program that protects them in case the leased unit is damaged. Leasing is complemented by new unit sales and sales of rental units. In connection with its leasing and sales activities, the Company provides services including delivery and installation, maintenance and ad hoc services and removal services at the end of lease transactions.
The Company’s revenue by major product and service line for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

(b) Includes primarily damage billings, delinquent payment charges, and other processing fees.
Leasing and Services Revenue
The majority of revenue ( 77 % for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023) was generated by lease income subject to the guidance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"). The remaining revenue was generated by performance obligations in contracts with customers for services or the sale of units subject to the guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606").
Receivables and Credit Losses
The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivable at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both ASC 842 and ASC 606, 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 manages credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and other monitoring procedures.
11
The Company's allowance for credit losses reflects its estimate of the amount of receivables that it will be unable to collect . The estimated losses are calculated using the loss rate method based upon a review of outstanding receivables, related aging, and historical collection experience. The Company's estimates reflect changing circumstances, and the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses was as follows:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
(in thousands) 2024 2023
Balance at beginning of period $ 81,656 $ 57,048
Provision for credit losses, net of recoveries 11,807 8,803
Write-offs ( 7,055 ) ( 4,537 )
Foreign currency translation and other 10 88
Balance at end of period $ 86,418 $ 61,402
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $ 125.7 million and $ 124.1 million , respectively, of deferred revenue related to services billed in advance. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $ 27.6 million of deferred revenue billed in advance was recognized as revenue.
The Company does not have material contract assets, and it did not recognize any material impairments for any contract assets.
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 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. As a result, the Company has applied the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining a sales contract and expenses commissions as incurred.
NOTE 5 - Leases

Asset Backed Lending Facility
On July 1, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including WSI, entered into an asset-based credit agreement. As amended on June 30, 2022, the agreement provides for revolving credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up 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," and together with the US Facility, the "ABL 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), plus any voluntary prepayments that are accompanied by permanent commitment reductions under the ABL Facility, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions including lender approval. The ABL Facility is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027.
The applicable margin for Canadian Bankers' Acceptance rate, Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British Pounds Sterling and Euro 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 % or one step up of 0.25 % based on the Company's leverage ratio and excess availability from the prior quarter. The ABL Facility requires the payment of a commitment fee on the unused available borrowings of 0.20 % annually. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility, as adjusted
15
for the effects of the interest rate swap agreements, was 5.77 %. Refer to Note 12 for a detailed discussion of interest rate management.
On February 26, 2024, WSI entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility (the "Fifth Amendment") to, among other things, change the rate under the ABL Facility for borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars from a Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR")-based rate to a Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA")-based rate, subject to certain adjustments specified in the ABL Facility, and to update certain other provisions regarding successor interest rates to CDOR.
In connection with the Company's pending acquisition of McGrath, on February 27, 2024, WSI and certain other subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility (the "Sixth Amendment") to, among other things, (i) permit the incurrences of indebtedness by WSI and certain other subsidiaries of the Company to finance the McGrath acquisition; (ii) increase the maximum revolving credit facility amount to $ 4.5 billion; and (iii) modify the borrowing base, certain thresholds, basket sizes and default and notice triggers to account for the increased size of the business and new asset types of WSI and its subsidiaries following the McGrath acquisition. The amendments contemplated by the Sixth Amendment will not become effective until the closing of the McGrath acquisition.
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 March 31, 2024, 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 $ 192.3 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 swingline loans. At March 31, 2024, the available capacity was $ 189.0 million of letters of credit and $ 205.2 million of swingline loans. At March 31, 2024, letters of credit and bank guarantees carried fees of 1.625 %. The Company had issued $ 31.0 million of standby letters of credit under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2024.
The Company had approximately $ 1.9 billion of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2024. Debt issuance costs of $ 24.8 million and $ 26.8 million were presented as direct reductions of the corresponding liabilities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The ABL Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of 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.
Finance Leases
The Company maintains finance leases primarily related to transportation-related equipment. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, obligations under finance leases were $ 118.4 million and $ 117.1 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 March 31, 2024.
NOTE 10 – Equity
Common Stock
In connection with the stock compensation vesting and stock option exercises described in Note 14, the Company issued 631,174 shares of Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024 .
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. The stock repurchase program does 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.
No shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2024 . As of March 31, 2024, $ 498.2 million of the authorization for future repurchases of the Common Stock remained available.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by a discrete tax benefit related to employee stock vesting. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and discrete tax expense from state legislative enactments.
NOTE 12 - Derivatives
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 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.
In January 2024, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $ 500.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the 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 3.70 % 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 5.33 % at March 31, 2024.

The location and the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges were as follows:
(in thousands) Balance Sheet Location March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023

The fair value of the interest rate swaps was based on dealer quotes of market forward rates, which are Level 2 inputs on the fair value hierarchy (see Note 13), and reflected the amount that the Company would receive or pay as of March 31, 2024 for contracts involving the same attributes and maturity dates.
The following table discloses the impact of the interest rate swaps, excluding the impact of income taxes, on other comprehensive income (“OCI”), AOCI and the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 :

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 values of cash and short-term deposits, marketable securities, 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 values of finance leases at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximate their respective book values. 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 values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes are based on their last trading price at the end of each period obtained from a third party. The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of these financial liabilities measured using Level 2 inputs:
March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
(in thousands)

Total $ 3,366,410 $ 3,397,772 $ 3,440,203 $ 3,485,392
As of March 31, 2024, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $ 3.1 million, $ 5.2 million , and $ 6.1 million , respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $ 3.8 million, $ 5.5 million, and $ 6.3 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability.
The location and the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets 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 include 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.

Compensation expense for Performance-Based RSUs recognized in SG&A on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $ 6.4 million and $ 5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024, unrecognized compensation cost related to Performance-Based RSUs totaled $ 48.2 million and was expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.8 years.
Certain Performance-Based RSUs cliff vest based on achievement of the relative total stockholder return ("TSR") of the Company's Common Stock as compared to the TSR of the constituents in the S&P 400 index at the grant date over the performance period of three years . 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).
For 555,790 Performance-Based RSUs granted in 2021, the awards cliff vest based on achievement of specified share prices of the Company's Common Stock at annual measurement dates over performance periods of 4.5 years to 4.8 years. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0 to 1,333,334 based on the stock price attainment levels defined by the Company's Compensation Committee. The target payout for the 555,790 Performance-Based RSUs is tied to a stock price of $ 47.50 , with a payout ranging from 0 RSUs (for a stock price less than $ 42.50 ) to 1,333,334 RSUs (for a stock price of $ 60.00 or greater).
