Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company leases, sells, delivers and installs modular space solutions (modular office complexes, mobile offices, classrooms, blast-resistant modules, clearspan structures and sanitation solutions) and portable storage products (portable storage containers and climate-controlled containers and trailers) through an integrated network of branch locations.

The Company operates a hybrid in-house and outsourced logistics and service infrastructure that provides delivery, site work, installation, disassembly, removal and other services to customers for an additional fee as part of leasing and sales operations.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the US ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of WillScot 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 WillScot. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 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, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
ASU 2023-09. Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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. ASU 2023-09 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 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.
ASU 2024-03. Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires incremental disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.

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 space solutions along with VAPS. 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, removal, and other ad hoc services. The Company’s revenue by major product and service line for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

(b) Includes $ 9.2 million and $ 7.5 million of service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(c) Includes primarily damage billings, delinquent payment charges, service revenue, and other processing fees, and is partially offset by provisions for specific uncollectible receivables.
Leasing and Services Revenue
The majority of revenue ( 76 % and 77 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively) 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
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 markets. The Company manages credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and other monitoring procedures.
The Company's allowance for credit losses reflects its estimate of the amount of receivables that the Company will be unable to collect. T he estimated losses are calculated using the l oss rate method based upon a review of outstanding receivables, related aging, and historical collection experience. The Company's estimate is sensitive to changing circumstances, and the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance in future periods in response to
9
changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Specifically identifiable lease revenue receivables and sales receivables not deemed probable of collection are recorded as a reduction of revenue following the completion of collection efforts. The remaining provision for credit losses is recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses was as follows:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
(in thousands) 2025 2024
Balance at beginning of period $ 101,693 $ 81,656
Provision for credit losses, net of recoveries 12,338 11,807
Write-offs recorded as a reduction to revenue ( 13,765 ) ( 7,055 )
Foreign currency translation and other 25 10
Balance at end of period $ 100,291 $ 86,418
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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $ 134.8 million and $ 139.4 million , respectively, of deferred revenue related to service revenue billed in advance. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $ 34.7 million of deferred revenue related to service revenue billed in advance was recognized as revenue.
The Company does not have material contract assets, and it did not recognize any material impairments of 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 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 exemption 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.

Asset Backed Lending Facility
On July 1, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including Williams Scotsman, Inc. ("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 %. In addition to the applicable margin, the facility includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 %. 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, 2025, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility, as adjusted for the effects of the interest rate swap agreements, was 5.33 %. Refer to Note 9 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 March 31, 2025, the Line Cap was $ 3.2 billion and the Company had $ 1.6 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, including $ 1.4 billion under the US Facility and $ 185.9 million under the Multicurrency Facility. Borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility is made available for up to $ 220.0 million of letters of credit and $ 220.0 million of swingline loans. At March 31, 2025, the available capacity was $ 193.5 million of letters of credit and $ 186.0 million of swingline loans. At March 31, 2025, letters of credit and bank guarantees carried fees of 1.625 %. The Company had issued $ 26.5 million of standby letters of credit under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2025.
12
The Company had approximately $ 1.5 billion of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2025. Debt issuance costs of $ 15.9 million and $ 19.0 million were included in the carrying value of the ABL Facility at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding principal borrowings on the Multicurrency Facility and $ 1.2 million of related debt issuance costs, which were recorded in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
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.
Senior Secured Notes
On March 26, 2025, WSI completed a private offering of $ 500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.625 % senior secured notes due 2030 (the "2030 Secured Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and to non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2030 Secured Notes mature on April 15, 2030 and bear interest at a rate of 6.625 % per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning October 15, 2025. Unamortized deferred financing costs pertaining to the 2030 Secured Notes were $ 6.8 million as of March 31, 2025.
On March 27, 2025, net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Secured Notes, together with $ 33.0 million of additional borrowings under the ABL Facility, were used to (i) redeem all of WSI's outstanding 6.125 % senior secured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Secured Notes") at a redemption price equal to 100.00 % of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes outstanding, totaling $ 526.5 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date and (ii) pay related fees and expenses.
The 2028 Secured Notes, 2029 Secured Notes, 2030 Secured Notes, and 2031 Secured Notes (collectively, “the Secured Notes”) are unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, “the Note Guarantors”). WillScot is not a guarantor of the 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 Secured Notes. The 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 2028 Secured Notes, if the lien associated with the ABL Facility represents the only lien outstanding on the collateral under the 2029 Secured Notes, 2030 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes (other than certain permitted liens), the collateral securing the 2029 Secured Notes, 2030 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes will be released and the 2029 Secured Notes, 2030 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes will become unsecured subject to satisfaction of customary conditions.
Finance Leases
The Company maintains finance leases primarily for transportation-related equipment. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, obligations under the finance leases were $ 147.0 million and $ 143.8 million, respectively.
Covenant Compliance
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and restrictions associated with its debt instruments as of March 31, 2025.
NOTE 7 – Equity
Common Stock

Dividends
On February 18, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend program. Under the program, subject to quarterly approval and declaration by the Board of Directors, dividends will be payable on the third Wednesday of the third month of each calendar quarter to stockholders of record as of the first Wednesday of that same month.
In February 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $ 13.0 million or $ 0.07 per share. Dividends paid were $ 12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Stock Repurchase Program
In September 2024, 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 , the Company repurchased 1,094,932 shares of Common Stock for $ 32.0 million, excluding excise tax. As of March 31, 2025, $ 789.8 million of the authorization for future repurchases of Common Stock remained available.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, gains of $ 2.4 million and $ 5.3 million, respectively, were reclassified from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swa ps. Th e interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 9. Associated with these reclassifications, t he Company recorded tax expense of $ 0.6 million and $ 1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
NOTE 8 – Income Taxes
The Company recorded $ 17.9 million and $ 17.1 million of income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 29.4 % and 23.3 %, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, and discrete tax expense related to equity compensation. 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.
NOTE 9 - 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 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 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. At March 31, 2025, the floating rate that the Company received under the terms of these swap agreements was 4.32 %.
The location and the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges were as follows:
(in thousands) Balance Sheet Location March 31, 2025 December 31, 2024
Cash Flow Hedges:

NOTE 10 - 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 following 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. The Company's nonfinancial assets, which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, include rental equipment, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets. 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 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, 2025 December 31, 2024

As of March 31, 2025, the carrying values of the 2028 Secured Notes, the 2029 Secured Notes, the 2030 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $ 4.1 million, $ 7.3 million, $ 6.8 million, and $ 5.6 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, the 2029 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $ 1.2 million, $ 4.4 million, $ 7.5 million, and $ 5.7 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 9.

NOTE 11 - 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'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.

16
Compensation expense for Performance-Based RSUs recognized in SG&A expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $ 5.6 million and $ 6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation cost related to Performance-Based RSUs totaled $ 37.2 million and was expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.6 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 MidCap 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).

NOTE 12 - 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 March 31, 2025, 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 Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
17
NOTE 13 - Segment Reporting
The Company has one reportable segment. Refer to Note 2 for revenue by geographic area and revenue by major product and service lines. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for total assets. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets.
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 measure of profit or loss used by the CODM to evaluate operating segment performance and allocate resources is Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that evaluating operating 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.
